Barbee Ponder IV (General Counsel), Vijaya Gallagher (Director of Second Generation Satellite and Launch Management), Tony Navarra (President, Global Operations), Brinda Shah (Manager of Systems Analysis), Barry Smith (Director Globalstar Satellite Engineering), and Larry Witham (Specialist for Satellite Mechanical and Propulsion Engineering), of Globalstar, Inc. (“Globalstar”), and Elvis Stumbergs, and the undersigned of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, counsel to Globalstar, spoke by telephone with William Bell, Karl Kensinger, Robert Nelson, and Sankar Persaud of the International Bureau. During their conversation, Globalstar representatives and their counsel discussed the successful launch of the first set of satellites for Globalstar’s second generation constellation on October 19, 2010 and the status of Globalstar’s French license. Globalstar also provided additional details about the propulsion system for its second-generation satellites; it used the attached schematic of its second generation satellite propulsion system to illustrate its points. Globalstar representatives and their counsel also discussed the disposal orbit altitude for Globalstar’s second-generation satellites. Globalstar explained the significant steps it takes to ensure spacecraft collision avoidance during and after the completion of mission operations and the propriety of a disposal orbit above 1500 km. Finally, the meeting participants discussed amendments to Globalstar’s application to request authority for its earth stations in Sebring, FL and Wasilla, AK to communicate in the 7025-7055 MHz band on an unprotected basis. Globalstar also discussed its upcoming application for Special Temporary Authority to allow communications between Globalstar’s soon-to-be operational second-generation satellites and its mobile earth terminals in the United States in the interim period after operations begin and before Globalstar’s application is acted upon.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch November 5, 2010 Page 2 Should there be any questions concerning this discussion, please contact the undersigned. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Samir Jain Samir Jain Counsel to Globalstar, Inc. CC (via email): William Bell, Karl Kensinger, Robert Nelson, Sankar Persaud, Paul de Sa.
