Corporate Restructuring Dear Ms. Mandelker, Dr. Barth and Ms. Lammert: This letter concerns a corporate restructuring recently undertaken by our client Satamatics, Inc. ("Satamatics"). Satamatics is a U.S. companythat has licenses from the Federal Communications Commission to provide Inmarsat D+ service in the United States. On May 17, 2002, we provided a letter to the FBI on behalf of Richtec, now called Satamatics, that provided assurances that the company would take all reasonable measures, including any necessary software and hardware modifications, to assist and support the FBI or any other United States federal, state or local agency with lawenforcement or national security responsibilities in + PHOENIX + LGS ANGELES + C

Mamlet (Counsel to Richtec) {dated May 17, 2002) (attached to this letter). On October 28, 2004, Satamatics provided a letter to the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau ofInvestigation and Department of Homeland Security notifying them of a change in ultimate control of Satamatics from Richtec PLC to Satamaties Worldwide Ltd. ("Satamatics Worldwide"). See Letter to Ms. Laura H. Parsky (DOJ), Mr. Patrick W. Kelley (FBI) and Ms. Tina W. Gabbrielli (DHS) from Mr. Alfred M. Mamlet (Counsel to Satamatics) (dated Oct. 28, 2004) (attached to this letter). In that letter, it was confirmed that Satamatics and Satamatics Worldwide were familiar with the representations made in the May 17, 2002 letter and agreed to stand bythose representations. In addition, on May 2, 2006, Satamatics provided a letter to confirm that pending FCC applications (under Titles I1 and HI of the Communications Act) did not seek to provide new services in the United States, but only sought authority for Satamatics to continue to provide the Inmarsat D+ service in the U.S. using a recently launched fourth—generation Inmarsat satellite. See Letter to Mr. Joseph E. Springsteen (DOJ) from Mr. Alfred M. Mamlet (Counsel to Satamatics) (dated May2, 2006) (aftached to this letter). Satamatics is providing this letter to notify you that ultimate ownership and control of Satamatics has now changed from Satamatics Worldwide to Satamatics Global Limited ("SGL"), effective October 12, 2006. This change in control was pro forma in nature because the shares in SGL were distributed to the then—existing shareholders of Satamatics Worldwide. Like Satamatics Worldwide, SGL is a companyorganized under the laws of England and Wales. Satamatics and SGL are familiar with the representations made in the May 17, 2002 letter and agree to stand by those representations. Both companies are willing to take all reasonable measures to assist and support the FBI or any other United States federal, state or local agencywith law enforcement or national security responsibilities in conducting lawfully authorized electronic surveillance.
