                       Information on Microwave Landing System (MLS) Sites

For the Wasilla, Alaska, Globalstar gateway site, there are four potential MLS sites, including two
Category III airports (ANC & FAI), within the 213 nautical mile transmit coordination distance. The
Wasilla site is located at 61-35-25 N, 149-29-06 W. The airports are:

             ANC                   Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport,
                                   approximately 29 nautical miles from Wasilla
             VDZ                   Valdez Airport,
                                   approximately 97 nautical miles away
             HOM                   Homer Airport,
                                   approximately 131 nautical miles away
             FAI                   Fairbanks International Airport,
                                   approximately 199 nautical miles away


Only the ANC airport falls within the 39.8 nautical mile maximum trigger distance for MLS/MSS
(Mobile Satellite System) coordination. Based on a directory used for MLS coordination purposes, and
to the best of its knowledge, Globalstar USA, LLC, believes that MLS is not active at ANC.
