(i) For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 5.05 at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, the Grantors hereby grant to the Collateral Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the IP Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by the Grantors, wherever the same may be located, including in all cases with reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of the Indenture that limit the right of the Grantors to dispose of their property, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Grantors will be permitted to exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to the IP Collateral in the ordinary course of the business of the Grantors. In furtherance of the foregoing, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing the Collateral Agent shall from time to time, upon the request of any Grantor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, that the Grantors shall have certified are appropriate (in their judgment) to allow them to take any action permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided pursuant to clause (i) immediately above as to any specific IP Collateral). Further, upon the payment in full of all of the Secured Obligations, or earlier expiration of this Agreement or release of the Collateral, the license granted pursuant to clause (i) immediately above shall automatically terminate. The exercise of rights and remedies under Section 5.05 by the Collateral Agent shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore granted by the Grantors in accordance with the first sentence of this clause (ii).

(c) Special Provisions Relating to the Cash Deposit Account and Other Deposit and Securities Accounts. Upon the date hereof, the Issuer is delivering to the Collateral Agent a control agreement covering the Cash Deposit Account. Unless an Event of Default has occurred hereunder or under the Indenture, the Issuer shall be entitled to manage the funds in the Cash Deposit Account, including the right to withdraw any funds from such Account. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Holders exercise any available right to declare any Secured Obligations due and payable or seek or pursue any other relief or remedy available to them under applicable law or under this Agreement, the Financing Documents or any other agreement relating to such Secured Obligations, the Issuer shall have no right to withdraw any funds from the Cash Deposit Account or give any instructions with respect to the management or investments of any funds held therein. As soon as practicable after the Issue Date, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to establish a control agreement over any deposit or securities account (other than the Cash Deposit Account) that contains $2,500,000 or more for more than one calendar week; provided, that if any deposit or securities account subject to a control agreement contains less than $2,500,000 for any 30 calendar day period or is closed, then such control agreement may be terminated by the

 

12


Issuer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no control agreements shall be required except those required by this Section 5.04(c).

(d) Special Provision Relating to Commercial Tort Claims. If any Grantor shall obtain an interest in any Commercial Tort Claim with a potential value in excess of $1,000,000, such Grantor shall within 30 days of obtaining such interest sign and deliver documentation acceptable to the Collateral Agent granting a security interest under the terms and provisions of this Agreement in and to such Commercial Tort Claim.

(e) Limitation on Restrictions in Future Agreements. The Issuer and each Guarantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any agreement, arrangement or instrument entered into after the Issue Date will not contain any restriction which may have a material adverse effect on the Holders and which relates, directly or indirectly, to its rights (i) to own or acquire any license or spectrum granted by the FCC, (ii) under the Transfer Agreements, (iii) of ownership of Equity Interests in TerreStar Networks (Canada) Inc., TerreStar Networks Holdings (Canada) Inc., the FCC License Subsidiary and each Restricted Subsidiary or (iv) under the Motient Funding Agreement, the ATC License, the Hughes License, the Satellite Construction Agreement, the Arianespace Agreement, the SBN Agreement, the Nevada Site Hosting Agreement and any similar agreements; provided, that (I) the Transfer Agreements may contain any such provisions as have been described in the Offering Memorandum, (II) this clause (e) shall not restrict the parties to the Transfer Agreements from exercising any of their rights thereunder and (III) this clause (e) shall not prohibit any changes to the Transfer Agreements as are required by Industry Canada.

5.05. Events of Default, Etc. During the period during which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) the Grantors shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, assemble the Collateral owned by them at such place or places, reasonably convenient to the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, designated in the Collateral Agent’s request;

(b) the Collateral Agent may make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the Collateral;

(c) the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the NYUCC (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including, without limitation, the right, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Collateral Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and the Grantors agree to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right);

(d) the Collateral Agent in its discretion may, in its name or in the name of the Grantors or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so; and

 

13


(e) the Collateral Agent may, upon 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Grantors of the time and place (which the Grantors agree constitutes reasonable prior notice), with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof which shall then be or shall thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of the Collateral Agent, the holders of the Secured Obligations or any of their respective agents, sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Collateral, at such place or places as the Collateral Agent deems best, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required above or by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and the Collateral Agent or any holder of any Secured Obligation or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Grantors, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released. In the event of any sale, assignment, or other disposition of any of the IP Collateral, the goodwill connected with and symbolized by the IP Collateral subject to such disposition shall be included. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned. The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 5.05, including by virtue of the exercise of the license granted to the Collateral Agent in Section 5.04(b), shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.08. The Grantors recognize that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantors acknowledge that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the respective issuer thereof to register it for public sale. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that each Grantor lawfully may, the Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, the Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws. Each Grantor hereby

 

14


acknowledges that if the Collateral Agent complies with any applicable state, provincial, or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, such compliance will not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral.

5.06. Locations; Names. Without at least 10 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, no Grantor shall change its location (as defined in Section 9-307 of the Uniform Commercial Code) or change its name from the name shown as its current legal name on Annex 1.

5.07. Private Sale. The Collateral Agent and the Holders shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 5.05 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.

5.08. Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided and except as provided below in this Section 5.08, the Proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the Collateral Agent under Section 4 or this Section 5, shall be applied by the Collateral Agent:

First, to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization, including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, and all out -of-pocket expenses incurred and advances made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith;

Next, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, in each case equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing or as the Holders holding the same may otherwise agree; and

Finally, to the payment to the respective Grantors, or their respective successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.

5.09. Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Collateral Agent while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of the Grantors to, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, carry out the provisions of this Section 5 and take any action and execute any instruments that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest; provided that, Collateral Agent shall not execute on behalf of Grantors any application or other instrument to be submitted to the FCC except to the extent permitted by applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Collateral Agent shall be entitled under this Section 5 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of the Grantors representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

 

15


5.10. Perfection and Recordation. Except as otherwise provided below, prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Grantors shall:

(a) file such financing statements in such offices as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to perfect the security interests granted by Section 3 of this Agreement (it being understood that in no event shall financing statements be filed against fixtures in the local jurisdictions of their location),

(b) deliver to the Collateral Agent all certificates evidencing any of the Pledged Equity, accompanied by undated stock or other powers duly executed in blank,

(c) deliver the originals of any of the promissory notes referred to in Section 3, accompanied by undated allonges or other powers duly executed in blank,

(e) execute, deliver and record such short form security agreements relating to IP Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request and make such filings, registrations and recordations thereof with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Copyright Office, as applicable, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Grantors consent that Uniform Commercial Code financing statements may be filed describing the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” of the Grantors (provided that no such description shall be deemed to modify the description of Collateral set forth in Section 3).

5.11. Termination. Upon the payment of all Secured Obligations in full or release of the Collateral in full in accordance with Section 5.12, this Agreement shall terminate, and the Collateral Agent shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to or on the order of the respective Grantors and to be released and canceled all licenses and rights referred to in Section 5.04(b).

In addition, the Collateral Agent shall, at the expense of the Grantors, execute and deliver to the appropriate Grantors such Uniform Commercial Code termination statements or amendments to effect and evidence the release of the Liens on such Collateral and execute any other documentation to effect or evidence such Lien termination as may be requested by the Grantors.

5.13. Further Assurances.

6.08. Captions. The captions and section headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

6.09. Certain Regulatory Requirements.

(a) Cooperation by Grantors. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall take all lawful action that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in the exercise of its rights and remedies hereunder, which include the right to require such Grantor to transfer or assign any FCC License Rights held by it or any of its Subsidiaries to any party or parties to facilitate an arms’-length public or private sale for the benefit of the Collateral Agent. In furtherance of this right, the Grantors shall (i) cooperate fully with the Collateral Agent in obtaining all approvals and consents from the FCC and each other Governmental Authority and from any third parties that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish any such transfer or assignment, and (ii) prepare, execute and file with the FCC and any other Governmental Authority any application, request for consent, certificate or instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish any such transfer or assignment. If the Grantors fail to execute such applications, requests for consent, certificates or instruments, the clerk of any court that has jurisdiction over the Financing Documents may, upon an ex parte request by the Collateral Agent, execute and file the same on behalf of the Grantors for purposes of placing such request before the FCC, except to the extent as would not be permissible under applicable law.

(b) Actions by Collateral Agent. To enforce the provisions of Section 5.05, the Collateral Agent is authorized to request the consent or approval of the FCC or any other Governmental Authority to a voluntary or an involuntary transfer of control of the Grantors or the voluntary or involuntary assignment of any FCC License Rights held by the Grantors. In connection with the exercise of its remedies under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent may obtain the appointment of a trustee or receiver to assume control of the Grantors, subject to any required prior approval of the FCC or any other Governmental Authority. Such trustee or receiver shall have all rights and powers provided to it by law or by court order or provided to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement.

(c) Certain Limitations Upon Actions by Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,

(i) the Collateral Agent will not take any action hereunder that would constitute or result in any transfer of control or assignment of the FCC Licenses without obtaining all necessary FCC and other Governmental Authority approvals, and all voting rights in any Collateral representing control rights in the holders of any FCC License shall remain with the Grantors notwithstanding the occurrence of any Event of Default until such required consents of the FCC shall have been obtained (and, in that connection, the Collateral Agent and the Holders shall be entitled to rely on the advice of FCC counsel selected by the Collateral Agent to determine whether FCC approval or other Governmental Authority approvals are required), and

(ii) the Collateral Agent shall not foreclose on, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or exercise any right to control the FCC Licenses as provided

 

19


herein or take any other action that would affect the operational, voting, or other control of the Grantors, unless such action is taken in accordance with the provisions of the Communications Act of 1934, as from time to time amended, and the rules, regulations and policies of the FCC and any other Governmental Authority.

(d) Acknowledgement by Grantors. Each Grantor acknowledges that the approval of the FCC and each other appropriate Governmental Authority to the assignment of the FCC License Rights is integral to the Collateral Agent’s realization of the value of the Collateral, including, without limitation, the FCC Licenses, that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by the Grantor to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.09 and that such failure could not be adequately compensable in damages. Therefore, the Grantors agree that the provisions of this Section 6.09 may be specifically enforced, without any requirement to post bond (such rights being fully waived by Grantors) and without regard to the adequacy of any remedies available at law (the defense of the adequacy of remedies at law being fully waived by the Grantors).

6.10. Agents and Attorneys-in-Fact. The Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith.

6.11. Severability. If any provision hereof is invalid and unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and (b) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

6.12. No Senior Liens. Except as permitted under the Indenture, Grantors shall not grant to any party any lien or security interest (other than Permitted Liens) in any of the Collateral that is superior to the interest granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder regardless of whether such security interest could be held by, exercised by, or granted to Collateral Agent under applicable law. To the extent that, by reason of changes in law or regulations or for any other reason Grantors may grant to Collateral Agent additional rights with respect to the FCC Licenses or rights facilitating Collateral Agent’s ability to foreclose upon, acquire and/or dispose of such interests upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Grantors agree, upon notice from Collateral Agent, to amend this agreement to provide such rights or such assurance to Collateral Agent.

6.13. Transfer Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the ability of any Grantor to fulfill its obligations under the Transfer Agreements

6.14. Canadian Entities. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any liability or obligations on the part of the Canadian Entities or any of them.
