(a)           all Liabilities of Sellers under the Permits included in the Acquired Assets to the extent such Liabilities arise out of, and relate to, the period from and after the Closing Date;

Liabilities of Sellers for Taxes, (b) any Liabilities of Sellers for income, transfer, sales, use, and other Taxes arising in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any Taxes arising because Sellers are transferring the Acquired Assets), (c) any Liabilities of Sellers for the unpaid Taxes of any Person under Treas.

Ltd., a Singapore company, or to Stonehouse Capital Limited, a Cayman Islands company, or their respective Affiliates or owners, (e) any items set forth in Schedule 1.4 of the Disclosure Schedule, and (f) any Liabilities allocated to Sellers pursuant to Article IX.
 
SECTION 1.5.      Non Assignment of Assigned Contracts; Rejection of Contracts.
 
(a)           Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Assigned Contract if, after giving effect to the provisions of Sections 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, an attempted assignment thereof, without obtaining the consent of the non-debtor party or parties thereto, would constitute a breach of such Assigned Contract, unless and until such consent shall have been obtained or deemed obtained as described below.  If, after giving effect to the provisions of Sections 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, such consent is required but not obtained, Sellers shall, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with Buyer in any reasonable arrangement requested by Buyer that is designed to provide for Buyer the benefits and obligations of or under any such Assigned Contract, including enforcement for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of any Seller against a third party thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation thereof by such third party. Sellers shall seek an Order from the Bankruptcy Court (which request shall be included in the Sale Motion) providing that (i) all parties to executory contracts shall be given notice of Sellers’ assignment and Buyer’s assumption of Assigned Contracts and (ii) a party’s failure to timely object to such assignment and such assumption shall be deemed to constitute such party’s consent of such assignment and such assumption.  Any assumption and assignment to Buyer of any Assigned Contract that shall, after giving effect to the provisions of Sections 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, require the consent of any third party for such assignment as aforesaid shall be made subject to such consent being obtained or deemed obtained, as specified in the preceding sentence.
 
(b)           Sellers will seek Bankruptcy Court authority to reject those Contracts listed on Schedule 1.5(b) of the Disclosure Schedule as may be updated by Buyer prior to the Closing.
 
SECTION 1.6.      Schedule Updates, Including Identification of Acquired and Excluded Subsidiaries.
 
(a)           From time to time from and after the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date, Buyer may exercise the right set forth in this Section 1.6.  Buyer may deliver to Sellers one or more updated Assigned Contract Schedules as revised by Buyer to add to or delete from such Schedule one or more Assigned Contracts, and Sellers shall promptly provide notice of any such addition or deletion to the non-debtor party or parties to such Assigned Contracts.  If the process for assigning a Contract that Buyer designates as an Assigned Contract cannot be
 
 
6

 
 
completed by Closing, Buyer may elect to have such process be completed after the Closing, subject to Buyer’s right to elect not to assume such Contract.  Corresponding changes shall be made to Schedules 1.2(b) and 1.5(b) of the Disclosure Schedule to reflect that Contracts deleted from an Assigned Contract Schedule are Excluded Contracts and Sellers will seek Bankruptcy Court authority to reject such contracts.
 
(b)           Buyer may deliver to Sellers an updated Schedule 1.1(o) and Schedules 1.2(h) as revised by Buyer to add or delete a Subsidiary as an Acquired Subsidiary or Excluded Subsidiary; provided, that the representations and warranties of Sellers in Article 4 will not apply to any Acquired Subsidiary that is added after the date of this Agreement.  With respect to each Excluded Subsidiary, Buyer may direct Sellers to cause such Subsidiary to (subject to any contractual or legal limitations on Sellers’ ability to do so in the case of Subsidiaries that are less than wholly owned), sell, distribute or otherwise transfer all or part of its assets, in one or more steps, to the Seller that is such Subsidiary’s ultimate parent, whereupon the assets so acquired by such Seller will be included in the Acquired Assets.  Buyer may also require Sellers to cause an Acquired Subsidiary to transfer one or more of its assets or liabilities to a Seller or Excluded Subsidiary prior to Closing (subject to any contractual or legal limitations on Sellers’ ability to do so in the case of any Acquired Subsidiary that is less than wholly-owned).
 
(c)           On or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer may deliver to Sellers one or more updates to Schedule 1.1(b), Schedule 1.1(e), Schedule 1.1(i), Schedule 1.1(j) or Schedule 1.5 (b).
 
(d)           Any reference in this Agreement to a Schedule updated by Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.6 means such Schedule as it has been so updated.  The parties agree and acknowledge that any changes made pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall not affect the Purchase Price payable by Buyer.
 
(e)           If Buyer identifies a Contract following the Closing that it desires to assume and which has not previously been rejected by Sellers, Sellers agree that they will cause such Contract to be assigned to Buyer at no additional cost to Buyer other than the payment by Buyer of any required cure costs and any administrative expenses (including, without limitation, professional fees) incurred by the Sellers in connection therewith.  In addition, if following the Closing Buyer identifies any assets held by an Excluded Subsidiary that relate to the Acquired Assets or the operation of a digital satellite radio business (other than assets held by an Excluded Subsidiary that relate solely to the provision of digital satellite radio service to subscribers in Africa, China, India and the Middle East), Buyer may direct Sellers in writing to cause such Subsidiary (subject to any contractual or legal limitations on Sellers’ ability to do so in the case of Subsidiaries that are less than wholly-owned), to sell, distribute or otherwise transfer all or part of its assets, in one or more steps, to the Seller that is such Subsidiary’s ultimate parent, whereupon the assets so acquired by such Seller will be transferred to Buyer as part of the Acquired Assets at no additional cost to Buyer.
 
SECTION 1.7.     Intercompany Accounts.  Subject to Section 1.1(e) and as set forth on Schedule 1.1(e) of the Disclosure Schedules, any and all accounts receivable of an Acquired Subsidiary from Sellers or Excluded Subsidiaries will be netted against any and all accounts payable by Acquired Subsidiary to Sellers, or any Excluded Subsidiary, or Affiliate in
 
 
7

 
 
each case as of the Closing Date, and the obligation remaining as a result of such netting will be fully written off by the Sellers, Acquired Subsidiary or Excluded Subsidiary, as the case may be, on or before the Closing Date.  For the avoidance of debt, accounts receivables that are Acquired Assets will remain outstanding to the benefit of Buyer following the Closing.
 
ARTICLE 2
CONSIDERATION
 
SECTION 2.1.     Consideration.  The aggregate consideration for the sale and transfer of the Acquired Assets (the “Purchase Price”) shall be as follows:
 
(a)           the payment by the Buyer of an amount of $5,500,000 (five million, five hundred thousand dollars); and

(b)           Sellers have delivered to Buyer, true, correct and complete copies of the most recent Satellite health reports.  Except for the March 27, 2003 notice of loss and September 18, 2003 proof of loss submitted to the underwriters for the AfriStar solar array power loss (which proof of loss was later withdrawn on April 5, 2005), neither any Seller nor any Subsidiary has made an in-orbit insurance claim with respect to any Satellite.  To the Knowledge of Sellers, there are no Satellite incidents, anomalies or defects except as disclosed in Schedule 4.22 of the Disclosure Schedule or in the Satellite health reports given to Buyer.

SECTION 6.8.      Cure of Defaults.  Subject to Buyer’s obligations under Section 7.3, Sellers shall, on or prior to the Closing, cure any and all curable defaults under the Assigned Contracts that Buyer has requested that Sellers cure and that are required to be cured under the Bankruptcy Code, so that such Assigned Contracts may be assumed by Sellers and assigned to Buyer or its designated assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, that Sellers shall not be required to cure any defaults for which Buyer is obligated under the terms of Section 7.3 hereof and does not so pay as required under Section 7.3 upon request of Sellers. Sellers shall allow Buyer to participate in all material negotiations with any third party regarding the amount that Sellers must pay in order to cure any default that Seller is required to cure pursuant to this Section 6.8.  Sellers shall deliver to Buyer, on or before the calendar day prior to the hearing to consider approval of the Sale Motion, a schedule setting forth cure costs per Contract, to the best of Sellers’ Knowledge as of such date.  For the avoidance of doubt and in accordance with Section 1.6, Buyer may update such schedule to remove any Contracts Buyer will not assume and such Contract will thereafter no longer be considered an Assumed Contract.
 
SECTION 6.9.      Further Assurances.  The parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate actions, to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law, and to execute and deliver such documents and other instruments, as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including following Closing.  If Buyer elects to close without (a) one or more Consents listed on Schedule 4.20 of the Disclosure Schedule, (b) one or more Regulatory Approvals, or (c) one or more Section 365 Consents, Sellers will continue to use commercially reasonable efforts following Closing to obtain such consents and approvals as quickly as practicable, with Sellers’ out of pocket third party expenses related to the same to be paid by Buyer.
 
SECTION 6.10.    Transition Contracts and Services.  Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers a schedule setting forth a list of Contracts and Permits that will not be Assigned Contracts but that Buyer will need on a transitional basis prior to the rejection thereof
 
 
28

 
 
by Sellers in the Chapter 11 Cases.  Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such Contracts and Permits for the temporary benefit of Buyer during a period ending no later than the date which is five months after the Closing Date.  Buyer shall bear the out-of-pocket costs of maintaining such Contracts and Permits in existence from the Closing Date through the end of that period, including making funds available to Sellers in advance of any payments that may be due to the contracting party or Government under such Contracts, and including all incremental out-of-pocket employee related costs in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement; provided, however, that in no event will Buyer be liable for any amounts owed with respect to such Contracts or Permits that relate to the period prior to the Petition Date, and provided further than any post-Petition Date administrative expenses related to such Contracts or Permits will be funded.
 
SECTION 6.11.    Information Requests.  From and after the date hereof and ending on the Closing Date, Sellers will use their commercially reasonable efforts to provide Buyer on a timely basis with such information, including lists of assets, Liabilities, accounting records and detailed operational data relating to the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities as Buyer may reasonably request in connection with its planning for the post-Closing operation of the Acquired Assets and assumption of Assumed Liabilities.
 
SECTION 6.12.    Payments and Proceeds.  If, at any time on or after Closing, any Seller receives any asset or any proceed in respect of any Acquired Asset, whether or not in payment of any sum due to Buyer, or otherwise comes into possession of any Acquired Asset or product or proceed thereof, such Seller shall turn over such asset or proceed to Buyer and pending such transfer, such Seller shall hold such asset or proceed in trust for Buyer’s benefit.
 
SECTION 6.13.    Use of Trademarks.  Sellers covenant that following the Closing Date, (a) they will not, and will cause each Excluded Subsidiary to not, use any domain name, mark, logo, trade name, trademark or service mark transferred to Buyer, or any confusingly similar variation thereof, in any business activity except as is necessary for the administration of the Chapter 11 Cases, and (b) if requested by Buyer, they will file, and will cause the Excluded Subsidiaries to file, with the appropriate jurisdictions and with other appropriate Persons, certificates of amendment to such Person’s organizational documents or other documentation necessary so that all such names, marks and logos or any confusingly similar variation thereof are not incorporated or used therein, with the filing fees related thereto to be paid by Buyer. Sellers shall promptly reflect any required name changes made pursuant to this Agreement in any pleadings, notices or other documents filed in the Chapter 11 Cases, and shall amend the official caption for the Chapter 11 Cases accordingly, provided, however, that, Sellers may refer to their former names for legal and noticing purposes in the Chapter 11 Cases.
 
SECTION 6.14.    [Intentionally Omitted] Danish Restructuring.  Prior to Closing, Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Danish Restructuring (subject to applicable Law), and pursuant to documents in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.
 
SECTION 6.16     [Intentionally Omitted] Certain Claims Covered by Insurance.  To the extent that any losses related to the Acquired Assets are incurred following Closing by Buyer, or any losses related to an Acquired Subsidiary are incurred following
 
 
29

 
 
Closing, which losses would be covered by insurance maintained before or after the Closing by Sellers or their Affiliates, then the Person maintaining such insurance will, at the request of Buyer and at Buyer’s expense, undertake to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the relevant insurance company to compensate Buyer or the appropriate Acquired Subsidiary for such losses and to cause any proceeds of insurance payable with respect to such losses to be paid to Buyer or the Acquired Subsidiary that incurred the losses.  For clarification purposes, if insurance maintained by any Seller before or after the Closing would cover incidents that occurred prior to the Closing and that are related to the Acquired Assets or Acquired Subsidiary on an “occurrence” basis rather than a “claims made” basis and a claim therefor either is (i) made prior to the Closing but has not been finally resolved prior to the Closing and continues after the Closing or (ii) made after the Closing against Buyer or an Acquired Subsidiary, any insurance proceeds received in connection with such incident shall be paid to Buyer or an Acquired Subsidiary to the extent that such Person has incurred losses with respect thereto. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require any Person to maintain any such insurance from and after the Closing or to name any other Person as an additional insured under any such policy of insurance that is maintained.
 
SECTION 6.18     Corporate Restructuring.  The Sellers will, and will cause their controlled Affiliates to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Buyer in analyzing and, if determined necessary by Buyer in its sole discretion, the implementation of, at Buyer’s expense (which such costs are incremental to the operating budget provided by Sellers to Buyer on or about April 30, 2010), any internal corporate restructurings of the Sellers and their controlled Affiliates as is reasonably practicable to initiate prior to the Closing.
 
SECTION 6.19     Certain Post-Closing Covenants(a)  Sellers will maintain current and in full compliance any existing licenses and registrations with any Governmental Authority and as otherwise required to be in compliance with all applicable Laws and will maintain and not reject or otherwise terminate any Technical Assistance Agreement or any other export authorization with respect to the Acquired Assets until such time that Buyer has completed and received all required authorizations, licenses and registrations from the FCC and as required under ITAR. Only after Buyer obtains any required authorizations, licenses and registrations and it has entered into new Technical Assistance Agreements with respect to the Acquired Assets, may Sellers reject or otherwise terminate any Technical Assistance Agreement or any other export authorization it is a party to.  Sellers will use their respective reasonable best efforts to cooperate fully with Buyer in obtaining any such authorizations, licenses or registrations, and in completing the other matters with respect to the operation of the satellites and other Acquired Assets subject to ITAR as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement.  In the event it is determined that full title has not transferred to Buyer due to any regulatory approval required but not obtained prior to Closing (including equity interests in the Australian Entity if Closing occurs prior to obtaining the approvals set forth in Section 12.4), Sellers will maintain such assets on behalf of Buyer until such time the Buyer may take possession and title to such Acquired Assets.
 
(b)           In furtherance to and not in substitution or limitation of Section 6.9, from time to time following the Closing, Sellers (to the extent practicable) and Buyer will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases and other instruments, and take such further actions,
 
 
30

 
 
as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to assure fully to Buyer and its respective successors or assigns, all of the properties, rights, titles, interests, estates, remedies, powers and privileges intended to be conveyed to Buyer under this Agreement and to assure fully to Sellers and their Affiliates and their successors and assigns, the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities and other obligations intended to be assumed by Buyer under this Agreement, and to otherwise make effective the transactions contemplated hereby.

  Reading down columns a negative number should be understood to mean that the entity at the head of the column owes the amount to the entity listed opposite the negative number.  For example, in the Australia column US$456.761 is owed to WorldSpace, Inc.  On the other hand, a positive number indicates that the entity opposite the positive number owes that amount to the entity at the head of the column.  For example, in the same Australia column, US$186,937 is owed by WorldSpace Systems Corp. to the Australia entity.

Notes:
 
1 Reading down columns a negative number should be understood to mean that the entity at the head of the column owes the amount to the entity listed opposite the negative number.  For example, in the Australia column US$456,761 is owed to WorldSpace, Inc.  On the other hand, a positive number indicates that the entity opposite the positive number owes that amount to the entity at the head of the column.  For example, in the same Australia column, US$186,937 is owed by WorldSpace Systems Corp. to the Australia entity.
 
2 In the instances where there is an entry seemingly intersecting with the same entity vertically and horizontally, the book entry represents an adjustment taken in 1Q2006 to the intercompany accounts.  The Sellers are not in possession of any financial or other information that would indicate the rationale for the adjustment.  Thus, for example, in the Australia headed column the positive US$349,710 appearing against AsiaSpace is a Q1 2006 adjustment to Australia intercompany balance and the books do not indicate from which entity the $350K receivable was due.  Similarly, the negative US$831,126 in the WS Europe column was an adjustment and the books do not reflect from which entity the payable was due.  Same for the negative US$1,110 in the Denmark column.
