Re: INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This letter is being delivered to you, as representative (the
"Representative") of the several underwriters (the "Underwriters"), in
accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement")
entered into by and between Granahan McCourt Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and the Underwriters, relating to an underwritten
initial public offering (the "IPO") of the Company's units (the "Units"), each
comprised of one share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per
share (the "Common Stock"), and one warrant, which is exercisable for one share
of Common Stock (a "Warrant"). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined
in paragraph 12 hereof.

     In order to induce the Company and the Underwriters to enter into the
Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the IPO, and in recognition of the
benefit that such IPO will confer upon the undersigned as a stockholder of the
Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees with
the Company and the Underwriters as follows:

     1. If the Company solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business
Combination, the undersigned will vote all Insider Shares owned by the
undersigned in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of
the IPO Shares. For clarity, the undersigned may vote IPO Shares (including such
shares purchased by the undersigned in the aftermarket) owned by the undersigned
in any manner that the undersigned chooses.

     2. (i) [In the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business
Combination within (a) 18 months after the consummation of the IPO, unless a
letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement has been
executed with respect to a Business Combination within such 18 month period, (an
18-Month Execution Failure") or (b) 24 months after the consummation of the IPO,
if a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement has been
executed with respect to a Business Combination within 18 months from the
consummation

<Page>

of the IPO but the Business Combination has not been consummated within such 18
month period ("24-Month Transaction Failure") (the date of the first such
failure to occur being the "Transaction Failure Date"), the undersigned will
take all reasonable actions within the undersigned's power and as permitted
under applicable laws to (1) within a reasonable time prior to the expiration of
such 18 or 24 month period, as the case may be, adopt and vote to recommend to
the Company's stockholders a specific plan of dissolution and liquidation to be
included in a proxy statement to seek stockholder approval for such plan of
dissolution and liquidation in the event that the Company fails to so consummate
a Business Combination within such 18- or 24-month period, as the case may be,
(2) cause to be prepared a preliminary proxy statement that sets forth such plan
of dissolution and liquidation and recommends that the Company's stockholders
approve such plan, (3) not later than fifteen (15) days after the expiration of
such 18 or 24 month period, as the case may be, adopt a resolution pursuant to
Section 275(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law finding the dissolution
of the Company advisable and provide such notices to the Company's stockholders
as are required by Section 275(a) as promptly thereafter as possible and (4)
take such other actions in connection with the liquidation of the Company as are
required by the Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws.](1) In the
event of an 18-Month Execution Failure or 24-Month Transaction Failure, as the
case may be, the undersigned will take all reasonable actions within the
undersigned's power and as permitted under applicable laws to (x) cause the
preliminary proxy statement setting forth the specific plan of dissolution and
liquidation approved by the Company's board of directors to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") promptly after the expiration of
the 18- or 24-month period, as the case may be, AND (y) cause a meeting of the
Company's stockholders to consider such plan of dissolution and liquidation to
be held. The undersigned will vote all shares of Common Stock, including Insider
Shares and IPO Shares, owned directly or indirectly by the undersigned in favor
of such plan of dissolution and liquidation.

          (ii) In the event that the Company's stockholders approve a plan of
dissolution and liquidation in connection with an 18-Month Execution Failure or
24-Month Transaction Failure, as the case may be, the undersigned will take all
reasonable actions within the undersigned's power and as permitted under
applicable laws to (i) cause the Trust Fund to be liquidated and, after paying
or reserving for payment the Company's liabilities, distributed to the holders
of the IPO Shares as soon as practicable but in no event later than 60 (sixty)
calendar days after the Transaction Failure Date and (ii) cause the Company to
dissolve and liquidate as soon as practicable (the earliest date on which the
conditions in clauses (i) and (ii) are both satisfied being the "Liquidation
Date"). The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or
claim of any kind in or to any distributions of the Trust Fund as a result of
such distribution, or to any other amounts distributed in connection with a
liquidating distribution of the Company including with respect to the
undersigned's Insider Shares but other than with respect to any IPO Shares owned
by the undersigned ("Claim") and hereby waives any Claim the undersigned may
have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or
agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse against the Trust Fund

----------

for any reason whatsoever. The undersigned hereby agrees that the Company shall
be entitled to reimbursement from the undersigned for any distribution of the
Trust Fund, or any other amounts distributed by the Company in connection with a
liquidating distribution, received by the undersigned in respect of such
person's Insider Shares.

     3. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.](2) [Subsequent to the Transaction Failure Date,
the undersigned agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, against any
and all loss, liability, claims, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but
not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever) to which the Company may become subject as
a result of (i) any claim by any vendor or service provider who is owed money by
the Company for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or (ii) any
claim by any acquisition target, but in each case only to the extent (a) such
vendor, service provider, or acquisition target has not executed a waiver of
rights or claims to the Trust Fund, and (b) necessary to ensure that such loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount in the Trust Fund
(or, in the event that such claim arises after the distribution of the Trust
Fund, to the extent necessary to ensure that the Company's former stockholders
are not liable for any amount of such loss, liability, claim, damage or
expense). For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing indemnification obligation of
the undersigned shall not apply to claims under the Company's indemnification of
the underwriters of the offering against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. In the event the Company's assets
held outside the Trust Fund are insufficient to pay the costs and expenses of
dissolution and liquidation of the Company, the undersigned agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company against such additional costs and expenses of
dissolution and liquidation, excluding any special, indirect or consequential
costs or expenses, such as litigation pertaining to the Company's dissolution
and liquidation.](3)

     4. In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise
from multiple affiliations, the undersigned agrees to present to the Company for
its consideration, prior to presentation to any other person or entity, any
business opportunity that may be reasonably required to be presented to the
Company under Delaware law, until the earlier of a Business Combination,
Liquidation Date, and such time as the undersigned ceases to be an officer or
director of the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the presentation of such
opportunities to the Company shall in each case be subject to any pre-existing
fiduciary and contractual obligation of the undersigned.

     5. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not
consummate any Business Combination with an entity that is affiliated with any
Insider or any of their respective affiliates unless the Company obtains an
opinion from an independent investment banking firm that the Business
Combination is fair to the Company's stockholders from a financial point of
view.

rendered to the Company prior to or in connection with the consummation of the

(y) $5,000,000. 

                c.     If
a payment default has occurred and is continuing under Section 12.1(a) or 12.1(b) of the Credit Agreement with respect to any regularly scheduled
payment of principal or interest (a "Payment Default"), Thermo shall purchase a number of shares of Common Stock with a purchase price equal to the

(x) the amount by which $100,000,000 exceeds such Net Cash Proceeds received by Globalstar and (y) $5,000,000. 

                f.      If
Globalstar has not received aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from Equity Issuances of Common Stock (including any Equity Issuance pursuant to this Agreement)
after April 24, 2006 and prior to January 1, 2010 of at least $200,000,000, Thermo shall purchase a number of shares of

Common
Stock with a purchase price equal to the greater of (x) the amount by which $200,000,000 exceeds such Net Cash Proceeds received by Globalstar and (y) $5,000,000.

any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall Thermo be required to purchase more than an aggregate of $200,000,000 of Common
Stock pursuant to this Agreement, including the Common Stock purchased by Thermo on June 30, 2006. 

                h.     If
Thermo is required to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.3(a),(b), (c), (d), (e) or (f), within one (1) Business
Day of the determination thereof, Globalstar shall give written notice (a "Call Notice") to Thermo setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
which Thermo must purchase (a "Call"). 

                i.      If
Globalstar fails to give a Call Notice as required by Section 2.3(h) or fails to deliver a Notice of Liquidity Default, a Forward Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio Certificate or an Officer's Compliance Certificate as required by the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent may deliver such Call Notice, Notice of Liquidity Default, Forward Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio Certificate or Officer's Compliance Certificate, as applicable. The amount of the Call specified by the Administrative Agent shall be presumptively correct, absent manifest
error. In preparing any such Notice of Liquidity Default, Forward Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Certificate or Officer's Compliance Certificate, or calculating the amount of any such Call, the
Administrative Agent shall deem the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and readily marketable securities of the Credit Parties to be $0 and Globalstar shall not receive any credit
for net cash proceeds from Equity Issuances of Common Stock made after the date hereof, unless in either case the Administrative Agent has satisfactory written evidence of such amount of unrestricted
cash, cash equivalents and readily marketable securities or Equity Issuance on or prior to the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such Notice of Liquidity Default, Forward
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Certificate, Officer's Compliance Certificate or Call, as applicable. 

                j.      If
Thermo receives a Call Notice (regardless of whether such Call Notice has been delivered by Globalstar or the Administrative Agent), Thermo hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it shall purchase shares of Common Stock in the amount set forth in the Call Notice and shall transfer immediately available funds to Globalstar by payment
to the Funding Account in an amount equal to the Purchase Price for such Purchased Shares within five (5) Business Days. 

                k.     If
Thermo fails to pay the Purchase Price to Globalstar by payment to the Funding Account in immediately available funds within five (5) Business
Days of delivery of the Call Notice, Globalstar or the Administrative Agent may give notice of a claim in such amount under the Escrow Agreement among Thermo, Globalstar, the Administrative Agent, and
UBS AG, as Escrow Agent (the "Escrow Agent"), dated as of April 24, 2006 (the "Escrow
Agreement"). Payment by the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to waive any claim Thermo may have against Globalstar or the Administrative Agent for breach of this Agreement by
Globalstar in connection with such Claim or otherwise; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any party for actions taken hereunder in good faith. 

                l.      If
Thermo pays the Purchase Price to Globalstar by payment to the Funding Account in immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days of
delivery of the Call Notice, Globalstar shall promptly notify the Escrow Agent that Thermo may withdraw escrowed funds or securities in an amount equal to the Purchase Price, subject to the
limitations in the Escrow Agreement. 

                m.    Upon
receipt of the Purchase Price from Thermo or the Escrow Agent, Globalstar shall deliver promptly to Thermo the certificates for the Purchased Shares
which Thermo is then purchasing, duly executed on behalf of Globalstar and registered in the name of Thermo or its designee, or other evidence of ownership if the Common Stock is uncertificated. 

4

 

                n.     The
failure of Globalstar to give a notice of a claim under the Escrow Agreement will not constitute an election of remedies or limit Globalstar in any
manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it. 

         2.4   Thermo Option to Purchase.    Upon 10 Business Days' written notice by Thermo to Globalstar given by Thermo at any
time during the
Commitment Period, Thermo may elect to purchase any or all of the Common Stock subject to the Commitment by paying to the Funding Account the Purchase Price therefor in immediately available funds.
Upon such payment, Globalstar shall deliver promptly to Thermo the certificates for the Purchased Shares which Thermo is then purchasing, duly executed on behalf of Globalstar and registered in the
name of Thermo or its designee, or other evidence of ownership if the Common Stock is uncertificated, and Thermo may withdraw escrowed funds or securities in an amount equal to the Purchase Price,
subject to the limitations in the Escrow Agreement. 

         2.5   Current Stockholder Option to Purchase.    As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, Globalstar
shall notify the
Current Stockholders of this Agreement and shall offer the Current Stockholders the option to purchase Common Stock pro rata on substantially the same terms and conditions as Thermo hereunder, with
such variations as may be approved by Globalstar (the "Pro Rata Offering"). Current Stockholders shall have twenty (20) days to elect to exercise
such option by executing and delivering to Thermo and Globalstar a separate stock purchase agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Thermo and Globalstar and agreeing to pay to the Funding
Account as and when required by such agreement the Purchase Price for the Purchased Shares. Purchases by a Current Stockholder pursuant to the Pro Rata Offering will not reduce Thermo's Commitment. 

         2.6   Restriction on Sales or Purchases.    Globalstar, Thermo, or any Current Stockholder shall not sell or purchase the
Purchased Shares at
any time when it would be prohibited by applicable federal or state securities laws. Any Purchased Shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement are subject to the restrictions on transfer under:
(a) Article VI of this Agreement, (b) Globalstar's Certificate of Incorporation, and (c) any applicable laws. The Existing Shares of Thermo or any Current Stockholder which
executes a joinder to this Agreement or a separate stock purchase agreement pursuant to Section 2.5 of this Agreement also are subject to the restrictions on transfer under Article VI of
this Agreement. 

 
 

ARTICLE III.
  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF GLOBALSTAR    
    

        Globalstar represents and warrants to Thermo as follows:

         3.1   Authority; Valid and Binding Agreements.    Globalstar and each of its Subsidiaries has all requisite power and
authority, as
applicable, to (i) own, lease, operate and encumber its properties and assets, and to carry on its respective business as presently conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted,
(ii) execute and deliver this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, (iii) issue and sell the Common Stock subject to the Commitment, and (iv) consummate the other transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution, delivery and performance by Globalstar of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and the filing of all documents, certificates and instruments to be
executed by Globalstar in connection therewith and the authorization, issuance (or reservation for issuance, as the case may be), sale and delivery of the Securities have been duly authorized by all
requisite corporate action on the part of Globalstar, its board of directors and its stockholders. This Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, when each is duly executed and delivered by Globalstar, will
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Globalstar, enforceable against Globalstar in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and general equitable principles whether in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

5

 

         3.2   Securities.

                a.     As
of the date hereof, Globalstar's authorized capital stock consists of 800 million shares of common stock, of which 300 million are shares
of Common Stock, 20 million are shares of Series B Common Stock and 480 million are shares of Series C Common Stock. 

                b.     Shares
of duly authorized but unissued Common Stock equal to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable under this Agreement will be reserved for
issuance hereunder. 

                c.     The
outstanding shares of capital stock of Globalstar are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and are not subject to
any preemptive or subscription rights except as described in Exhibit 3.2. The Purchased Shares, when issued in accordance with this Agreement, will be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. 

                d.     All
of the Purchased Shares, when issued and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, will be free and clear of any Liens, stock transfer, stamp,
documentary and similar taxes (excluding any taxes on the income or gain of Thermo) and other charges, and Thermo will have good title thereto. 

                e.     Assuming
that the representations and warranties of Thermo set forth in Section 4.2 and
Section 4.3 are true and complete, the offer, sale and issuance of the Purchased Shares as contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, and neither Globalstar nor any authorized agent acting on its behalf will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemption. Globalstar is not
required to make or obtain any filings, registrations, qualifications, notifications or consents or approvals of or with any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or the Investment Company Act) in connection therewith except under state securities or "blue sky" laws, which, if required, have been made or obtained. 

         3.3   Valid Issuance.    The Purchased Shares, when issued in accordance with this Agreement, will be free of restrictions
on transfer other
than restrictions on transfer under Globalstar's Certificate of Incorporation or Article VI hereof, under applicable state and federal securities laws or as described in the
Exhibit 3.3, and will not have been issued in violation of, and will not be subject to, any preemptive or subscription rights, except as described in
Exhibit 3.3. 

 
 

ARTICLE IV.
  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THERMO    
    

        Thermo hereby represents and warrants to Globalstar as follows:

         4.1   Organization and Authority.    Thermo is duly organized and validly existing as a limited liability company in good
standing under the
laws of Colorado. Thermo has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution
and delivery by Thermo of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and the consummation by Thermo of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized. This Agreement and the
Escrow Agreement, when each is duly executed and delivered by Thermo will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Thermo, enforceable against Thermo in accordance with their respective
terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and general equitable principles whether in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

         4.2   Securities Act.    Thermo is acquiring the Purchased Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a
present view towards
the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that, except as provided in Article VI hereof, by making
the representations herein, Thermo does not agree to hold any Common 

6

 

Stock
for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Common Stock at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the
Securities Act. 

        4.3   Accredited Investor.    Thermo is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Regulation D under the
Securities Act. 

         4.4   Transfer or Resale.    Thermo understands that: (i) the Purchased Shares have not been and are not being
registered under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) Thermo shall have delivered
to Globalstar an opinion of a counsel (selected by Thermo and reasonably acceptable to Globalstar), in a form reasonably acceptable to Globalstar, to the effect that the Purchased Shares may be
offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration, or (C) Thermo provides Globalstar with assurance (reasonably acceptable to Globalstar) that the
Purchased Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144; (ii) any sale of the Purchased Shares made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with
the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Purchased Shares under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made)
may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC
thereunder; (iii) neither Globalstar nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Purchased Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the
terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder; and (iv) transfer of the Common Stock is further restricted under Article VI hereof and Globalstar's Certificate of Incorporation. 

         4.5   Legends.    Thermo understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Purchased Shares, except
as set forth below,
shall bear any legend as required by the "blue sky" laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer
of such stock certificates): 

NEITHER
THE ISSUANCE NOR SALE OF THIS COMMON STOCK HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS COMMON STOCK MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR
SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THIS COMMON STOCK UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
(SELECTED BY THE HOLDER AND REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO GLOBALSTAR), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO GLOBALSTAR, THAT THIS COMMON STOCK MAY BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT
TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION OR (II) THE HOLDER PROVIDES GLOBALSTAR WITH ASSURANCE (REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO GLOBALSTAR) THAT SUCH COMMON STOCK CAN BE SOLD, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED
PURSUANT TO RULE 144; PROVIDED HOWEVER, THAT PRIOR TO AN INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING THIS COMMON STOCK WILL NOT BE MADE ELIGIBLE FOR CLEARANCE AND SETTLEMENT THROUGH THE DEPOSITARY TRUST COMPANY.
THIS COMMON STOCK HAS BEEN ISSUED PURSUANT TO THAT CERTAIN SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED IRREVOCABLE STANDBY STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF AUGUST     , 2006, BY AND AMONG
GLOBALSTAR AND THERMO FUNDING COMPANY LLC (THE "STANDBY AGREEMENT"). ARTICLE VI OF THE STANDBY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATES CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON SALES, PURCHASES, HEDGING TRANSACTIONS AND CERTAIN OTHER
TRANSACTIONS RELATING TO GLOBALSTAR'S COMMON STOCK. ANY ASSIGNEE OR TRANSFEREE OF THIS COMMON STOCK SHALL BE 

7

 

SUBJECT
TO THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE VI OF THE STANDBY AGREEMENT. 

                The
legend set forth above shall be removed and Globalstar shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Purchased Shares upon which it is stamped,
unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer pursuant to a registration statement that is effective under the Securities Act,
(ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer where such holder provides Globalstar with an opinion of a counsel selected by Thermo, in a form reasonably acceptable to
Globalstar, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Common Stock may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and once sold, assigned or
transferred, no further restrictive legend is required, or (iii) such holder provides Globalstar with reasonable assurance that the Common Stock can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to
Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act. 

        4.6   Experience.    Thermo is experienced in evaluating and investing in companies such as Globalstar. Thermo has
substantial experience in
investing in and evaluating private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to Globalstar and is capable of evaluating the risks and merits of its investment in Globalstar and has
the capacity to protect its own interests. 

         4.7   Receipt of Information.    Thermo understands that the Purchased Shares are subject to the terms of Globalstar's
Certificate of
Incorporation, a copy of which has been made available to Thermo. Thermo has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Globalstar regarding the terms and conditions of this
investment and the business, management and financial affairs of Globalstar and has availed itself of such opportunity to the extent that Thermo deemed necessary to make an informed investment
decision. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of Globalstar in Article III of this Agreement or the right of Thermo to rely thereon. 

 
 

ARTICLE V.
  COVENANTS    
    

        5.1   Listing.    Upon and after the occurrence of an Initial Public Offering, Globalstar shall use reasonable commercial
efforts to promptly
secure the listing of all of the Purchased Shares upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which the Common Stock is then listed (subject to official notice
of issuance) and to maintain any such listing from time to time. Globalstar shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this
Section 5.1. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither Globalstar nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any liability to Thermo for any
failure to obtain or maintain any listing of the Purchased Shares if the reason for such non-listing or delisting is not within Globalstar's control. 

         5.2   Transfer Agent / Registrar Instructions.    If Thermo provides Globalstar with an opinion of counsel
pursuant to
Section 4.4, Globalstar shall permit the transfer of the Purchased Shares which are the subject of such opinion and promptly instruct its transfer agent / registrar
to issue one or more certificates or, as the case may be, credit shares to one or more balance accounts at DTC, in such name and in such denominations as specified by Thermo. 

8

  

 
 

ARTICLE VI.
  RESTRICTIONS    
    

         6.1   Restrictions on Sale or Hedging of the Purchased Shares and Existing Shares.    Thermo agrees that, during the period
commencing on the
date 31 days after Globalstar files a registration statement for an Initial Public Offering (including without limitation, the Registration Statement on Form S-1
(No. 333-135809) filed on July 17, 2006) and ending on the 180th day following the consummation of an Initial Public Offering (the
"Lock-Up Period"), Thermo will not, without the prior written consent of Globalstar (i) directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, sell,
contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Purchased
Shares or Existing Shares, or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that hedges or transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence
of ownership of the Purchased Shares or Existing Shares (the "Hedge Lockup"), whether any such transaction or swap described in clause (i), or
(ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock, in cash or otherwise. Other than pursuant to the Hedge Lockup, the foregoing shall in no way restrict the ability of Thermo to freely
transfer the Purchased Shares or the Existing Shares in accordance with applicable law and Globalstar's Certificate of Incorporation. 

                Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Thermo may transfer the Purchased Shares or the Existing Shares (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, (ii) to any affiliate (as
defined in Regulation C under the Securities Act) of Thermo, (iii) to any member of Thermo provided, however, that it shall be a condition to such transfer that the transferee above)
execute an agreement stating that such transferee is receiving and holding such Purchased Shares or Existing Shares subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1
and shall remain subject to the restrictions in this Section 6.1, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value. Globalstar
agrees that if the terms of any lock-up agreement between the underwriters of an Effective Registration and any securityholders, executive officers or directors are more favorable from the
perspective of such securityholder, executive officer or director than those contained in this Section 6.1, than this
Section 6.1 shall be deemed amended to incorporate such terms. Further, to the extent that, during the Lock-Up Period, either (i) Globalstar
releases Thermo from the restrictions of this Section 6.1 or (ii) the underwriters of any Effective Registration release securityholders with respect to
which they are party to a lock-up agreement from such securityholders' obligations thereunder in full or in part, then the holders of outstanding Purchased Shares at such time shall
automatically be released in all respects from their obligations related to the Purchased Shares and the Existing Shares under this Section 6.1. 

                Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein (including, without limitation, this Section 6.1), if (i) during the
last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period, Globalstar releases earnings results or announces material news or a material event or (ii) prior to the expiration of the
Lock-Up Period, Globalstar announces that it will release earnings results during the 15-day period following the last day of the Lock-Up Period, then in each such
case the Lock-Up Period will be automatically extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of release of the earnings results or the announcement of
the material news or material event, as applicable, unless Globalstar waives, in writing, such extension. 

 
 

ARTICLE VII.
  INDEMNIFICATION    
    

         7.1   Indemnification.    Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, Globalstar agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold harmless Thermo,
the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates and controlling persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each of
their respective officers, managers, members, partners, directors, stockholders, employees, representatives and agents (all such Persons and entities being collectively 

9

 

referred
to as the "Indemnified Parties") to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law from and against any and all Losses (including any
diminution in value of the Common Stock), demands, actions, causes of action, assessments, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses, including, without limitation interest, penalties, fines, fees,
deficiencies, claims of damage, court and arbitration costs and fees and disbursements of attorneys, accountants, consultants and other experts as and when incurred or sustained by any Indemnified
Party (collectively, "Indemnified Claims") as a result of or arising from (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty
made by Globalstar in this Agreement, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Globalstar or the Administrative Agent contained in this Agreement, other than Indemnified
Claims resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Claims solely brought against an Indemnified Party by any investor in such Indemnified
Party, or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or
enforcement of this Agreement. The rights accorded to Indemnified Parties under this Section 7.1 shall be in addition to any rights and remedies that any
Indemnified Party may have at law or in equity, by separate agreement or otherwise. 

         7.2   Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.    Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any
Indemnified Claim or the
commencement of any action or proceeding involving an Indemnified Claim under this Article VII, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Person from
whom the indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") pursuant to Article VII, (i) notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the
Indemnified Claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to provide such notice shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article VII, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially and actually prejudiced thereby and shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Article VII, and (ii) permit such Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that any Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to
participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (A) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to
pay such fees and expenses, (B) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party within
15 days after receiving notice from such Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party believes it has failed to do so, (C) in the reasonable judgment of any such Indemnified Party, based
upon advice of counsel, a conflict of interest may exist between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Indemnified Party notifies the
Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on
behalf of such Indemnified Party) or (D) such Indemnified Party is a defendant in an action or proceeding which is also brought against the Indemnifying Party and reasonably shall have
concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party which are not available to the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement
of any such claim or action effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, without the consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld), no Indemnifying Party shall be permitted to consent to entry of any judgment with respect to, or to effect the settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened action
or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim), unless such
settlement, compromise or judgment (1) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim, (2) does not include a statement
as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party, 

10

 

and
(3) does not provide for any action on the part of any party other than the payment of money damages which is to be paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. 

        7.3   Contribution.    If the indemnification provided for in Section 7.1 from the Indemnifying Party for
any reason is unavailable to (other than by reason of exceptions provided therein), or is insufficient to hold harmless, an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Indemnified Claim, then the
Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Indemnified Claim in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions which resulted in such Indemnified
Claim, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any
action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied
by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. If, however, the foregoing
allocation is not permitted by applicable law, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only such relative faults but also the relative benefits of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 

        The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.3 were determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result
of any Indemnified Claim referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.3, any
legal or other fees, costs or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

        7.4   Other Indemnification.    The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any other rights to
indemnification or
contribution which any Indemnified Party may have pursuant to law or contract. 

         7.5   Indemnification Payments.    The indemnification and contribution required by this Article VII shall be made by
periodic
payments of the amount thereof during the course of any investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or any expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred; provided that if a final
nonappealable determination is made that the party receiving such expense payments was not entitled to such payments pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII, then the party receiving
such expense payments shall return such expense payments to the party that made such payments. 

 
 

ARTICLE VIII.
  MISCELLANEOUS    
    

         8.1   Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial.    All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this
Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any
other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or

11

 

suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the
venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY
HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY.

         8.2   Notices.    Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder must

                Each
party shall provide five (5) days' prior written notice to the other party of any change in address or facsimile number. If a notice provided for hereunder is
delivered via facsimile, such notice shall be valid only if an original hard copy is delivered within 24 hours of the time such facsimile is delivered. Written confirmation of receipt
(i) given by the recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (ii) mechanically or electronically generated by the sender's facsimile machine containing the time,
date, recipient facsimile number and an image of the first page of such transmission or (iii) provided by a courier or overnight courier service shall be rebuttable evidence of personal
service, receipt by facsimile or receipt from a nationally recognized overnight delivery service in accordance with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively. 

         8.3   Replacement of Securities.    If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Purchased Shares is mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed,
Globalstar shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Globalstar of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument
under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Purchased Shares. 

         8.4   Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be
considered one and the
same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and
shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile signature. 

         8.5   Headings.    The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect
the interpretation
of, this Agreement. 

         8.6   Severability.    If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such
invalidity or
unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any
other jurisdiction. 

         8.7   Irrevocability; Entire Agreement; Amendments.    Once executed and delivered, this Agreement shall be irrevocable by
Thermo. This
Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between Thermo, Globalstar, their respective Affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein,
and this Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and, except as specifically set forth herein, neither Globalstar nor Thermo makes any
representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, waived, terminated or otherwise modified other than by an instrument in
writing signed by Globalstar and Thermo, and, so long as there are any outstanding loans or commitments under the Credit Agreement, the consent of the Administrative Agent. Any amendment to this
Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 8.7 shall be binding on all parties. No provision hereof may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the
party against whom enforcement is sought. No consideration shall

be
offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this
Agreement. Globalstar has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with Thermo relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except as set forth in
this Agreement. 

         8.8   Successors and Assigns.    No party may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent
of the other party, except that (i) Thermo may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights and interests, but not its obligations, under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates or
to any transferee of Common Stock, other than a transferee who shall acquire such Common Stock in a Public Sale and (ii) Globalstar may grant a security interest in this agreement and its
rights hereunder to the Administrative Agent to secure the obligations of Globalstar under the Credit Agreement. Subject to the preceding, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. 

         8.9   No Third Party Beneficiaries.    This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective permitted
successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person. 

        8.10   Survival.    The representations and warranties of Globalstar and Thermo contained in Article III and
Article IV and the agreements and covenants set forth in Article V, Article VI, and Article VII shall survive this Agreement. 

         8.11   Further Assurances.    Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and
things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 

         8.12   No Strict Construction.    The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the
parties
to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. 

         8.13   Remedies.    Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such
rights
specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore,
Thermo recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to
Globalstar. Thermo therefore agrees that Globalstar shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without
posting a bond or other security. 

         8.14   Payment Set Aside.    To the extent that Globalstar makes a payment or payments to Thermo pursuant to this Agreement
or
Thermo enforces or exercises its rights hereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to Globalstar, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
