system in accordance with the O&A will commence only when the process is completed to the Commission‘s satisfaction. L—BAND REBANDING LightSquared has triggered Phase 2 of L—band rebanding underits Cooperation Agreement with Inmarsat to start the process of freeing up additional contiguous spectrum, providing LightSquared with enhanced operational flexibility for the deployment of its 4G—LTE integrated terrestrial and satellite network. Additional information regarding the triggering of Phase 2 is shown in Exhibit A hereto. SATELLITE LightSquared‘s Boeing 702HP SkyTerra 1 was successfully launched on November 14, 2010 by International Launch Services aboard a Proton M launch vehicle. The satellite successfully arrived on station at its designated orbital location of 101.3 deg west longitude in late November. All deployments were successful and the satellite and the satellite based network (SBN) consisting of the satellite and four ground stations with ground based beam—formers successfully completed in—orbit testing on February 9, 2011. LightSquared accepted the satellite and the SBN on February 10, 2011 and the system has been operating nominally since. The satellite is expected to meetits 15 year design life and, to date, all performance requirements have been met by Boging. This next—generation, high—capacity communications satellite system is designed for compatibility with Ancillary Terrestrial Component {(ATC) technology, operates with cellular—like wireless devices, will have coverage area, power and bandwidth that can be tailored to area and traffic requirements as well as the largest reflector ever designed for a commercial satellite. Additional information regarding the successful launch and testing of the SkyTerra—1 satellite and SBN is shown in Exhibit B hereto SkyTerra 2 has been completed by Boging and it is currently in storage at Boeing. STRATEGIC AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER WIRELESS SERVICE PROVIDERS LightSquared has reachedstrategic agreements with Leap Wireless, SI Wireless, Cellular South, and, in principle, Open Range. A roaming agreement with Leap Wireless will allow Cricket, Leap‘s operating subsidiary, to supplement its own developing LTE coverage with LTE roaming services from LightSquared. Bilateral roaming agreements with SI Wireless and Cellular South will allow each provider similar 4G—LTE access in their service areas, as well as satellite coverage in rural communities where there is currently no terrestrial network. The strategic partnership agreement in principle with Open Rangeis anticipated to enable Open Range to provide LightSquared‘s next generation satellite capacity in rural communities, including tribal lands served by Open Range and is also anticipated to include a 4G nationwide reciprocal roaming 3 | LightSquared

arrangement. Additional Information regarding these agreementsis shown in Exhibits C D, E and F hereto. PARTICULAR REPORTING REQUIREMENTS * Pursuant to reporting requirement IIL.A of the O&A, LightSquared reports that as of March 31, 2011,there were -terminals and approximately fi active private network customers on its MSS—only network. LightSquared is capable of providing an estimate only of the latter becauseit provides wholesale services to service providers and thus does not have direct access to such information. LightSquared has not commenced the provision of commercial MSS/ATC or terrestrial only services and, accordingly, the numberof reportable active terminals and active users on its network in these categories is zero. As the terrestrial network is not yet in commercial service, the number of reportable total bytes carried by LightSquared‘s terrestrial network is also zero. {(MO&.0, Condition 3). * Pursuant to reporting requirementIIL.B of the O&A, set forth below is a list of components available from mainstream component suppliers to support L—band dual mode operations: Sincerely, [s[ Jeffrey J.
