Ladies and Gentlemen:
CalPERS Corporate Partners, LLC (the “Selling Stockholder”), a stockholder of ORBCOMM INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to sell to Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (the “Underwriter”) an aggregate of 3,910,433 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
Each of the Company and the Selling Stockholder confirms as follows its agreement with you.
1. Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Act”), a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-203186), which contains a base prospectus (the “Base Prospectus”), relating to, among other things, the Shares. Such registration statement, as amended, including the financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto, at each time of effectiveness under the Act for purposes of Section 11 of the Act, as such section applies to the Underwriter (the “Effective Time”), including any required information deemed to be part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B under the Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) is called the “Registration Statement.” Any preliminary prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus that describes the Shares and the offering thereof and is used prior to filing of the Prospectus is called, together with the Base Prospectus, a “Preliminary Prospectus.” The term “Prospectus” shall mean the prospectus supplement relating to the Shares, together with the Base Prospectus, that is first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act after the date and time that this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto. If the Company files another registration statement with the Commission to register a portion of the Shares pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Act (the “Rule
462 Registration Statement”), then any reference to “Registration Statement” herein shall be deemed to include the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-203186) and the Rule 462 Registration Statement, as each such registration statement may be amended pursuant to the Act. For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning ascribed to it in Rule 405 under the Act, and “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” shall mean each free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Company or used or referred to by the Company in connection with the offering of the Shares. “Time of Sale Information” shall mean the Preliminary Prospectus together with the information and the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, each identified in Schedule I hereto. All references in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Rule 462 Registration Statement, a Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information, or any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing, shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents incorporated by reference therein, and shall include any copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”). Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Act, as of the date of the Registration Statement, such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and any reference to any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after such date under the Exchange Act that, upon filing, are incorporated by reference therein, as required by paragraph (b) of Item 12 of Form S-3. As used herein, the term “Incorporated Documents” means the documents that at the time of filing are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.

If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company will make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time. The Company will provide the Underwriter with copies of the form of Prospectus, in such number as the Underwriter may reasonably request, and file with the Commission such Prospectus in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Act before the close of business on the first business day immediately following the date hereof.

- 4 -

(g) Prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company has delivered or will deliver to you, without charge, in such quantities as you have requested or may hereafter reasonably request, copies of each form of the Preliminary Prospectus. Consistent with the provisions of Section 5.1(h) hereof, the Company consents to the use, in accordance with the provisions of the Act and with the securities or Blue Sky laws of the jurisdictions in which the Shares are offered by the Underwriter and by dealers, prior to the date of the Prospectus, of each Preliminary Prospectus so furnished by the Company.
(h) As soon after the execution and delivery of this Agreement as is practicable and thereafter from time to time for such period as in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Underwriter, a prospectus is required by the Act to be delivered in connection with sales by the Underwriter or any dealer (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), and for so long a period as you may request for the distribution of the Shares, the Company will deliver to the Underwriter and each dealer, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Information (and of any amendment or supplement thereto) as it may reasonably request.

In the event that the qualification of the Shares in any jurisdiction is suspended, the Company shall so advise you promptly in writing. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to qualify or register its Common Stock for sale in non-issuer transactions under (or obtain exemptions from the application of) the Blue Sky laws of each state where necessary to permit market making transactions and secondary trading and will comply with such Blue Sky laws and will continue such qualifications, registrations and exemptions in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Shares, but in no event beyond one year after the date hereof.

(r) The financial statements of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, together with related schedules and notes, included in or incorporated by reference into, the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, present fairly in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and changes in financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries on the basis stated in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus at the respective dates or for the respective periods to which they apply; such statements and related schedules and notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as otherwise stated therein and subject, in the case of unaudited financial statements, to the absence of footnotes and normal year-end adjustments). Nothing has come to the attention of the Company that has caused the Company to believe that the statistical information and data of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries included in or incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and Prospectus are not based on or derived from sources that the Company believes are reliable and accurate in all material respects. Except for the pro forma financial statements of the Company required by Article 11 of Regulation S-X (referred to in clause (cc) below), no other financial statements or schedules of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are required to be included in the Registration Statement.

(viii) the agreement that governs the securities account to which the Shares have been credited provides that the law of the State of New York is the securities intermediary’s jurisdiction for purposes of Article 8 of the UCC.

This indemnification shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.
(b) Subject to the limitations in this paragraph below, the Selling Stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless you, the Company, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Underwriter and the Company, the Underwriter’s and the Company’s affiliates that participate in the offering and sale of the Shares and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter or the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all Damages arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus or in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information, any free writing prospectus or the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information, any free writing prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that any such statement or omission is made in reliance upon and in conformity with Selling Stockholder Information; provided, however, that the aggregate liability of the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this subsection 8(b) shall not exceed the net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions) received by the Selling Stockholder from the sale of the Shares sold by the Selling Stockholder hereunder (the “Net Proceeds”).
(c) If any action or claim shall be brought against the Underwriter or any person controlling the Underwriter in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company or the Selling Stockholder, the Underwriter or such controlling person shall promptly notify in writing the party(s) against whom indemnification is being sought (the “indemnifying party” or “indemnifying parties”), and such indemnifying party(s) shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Underwriter or such controlling person and the payment of all reasonable fees of and expenses incurred by such counsel.

- 21 -
interests between them (in which case the indemnifying party(s) shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the Underwriter or such controlling person (but the indemnifying party(s) shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for the Underwriter and such controlling persons)). The indemnifying party(s) shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its (their several) written consent, but if settled with such written consent, or if there be a final, non-appealable judgment against the Underwriter or any controlling person in any such action, the indemnifying party(s) agree(s) to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter or such controlling person from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment, but in the case of a judgment only to the extent stated in Sections 8(a) and 8(b).
(d) The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Selling Stockholder, their respective directors and officers, the Company’s affiliates and any person who controls the Company or the Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing several indemnities from the Company and the Selling Stockholder to the Underwriter, but only with respect to information furnished in writing by or by the Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Preliminary Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto. If any action or claim shall be brought or asserted against the Company or the Selling Stockholder, any of their respective directors or officers, or any such controlling person based on the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information or any Preliminary Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Underwriter pursuant to this paragraph, the Underwriter shall have the rights and duties given to the Company and the Selling Stockholder by Section 8(c), and the Company and the Selling Stockholder, their respective directors, their respective officers and any such controlling persons, shall have the rights and duties given to the Underwriter by Section 8(c).
(e) In any event, no party will, without the prior written consent of each person entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “indemnified party” or “indemnified parties”), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any proceeding or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which the indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is a party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.
(f) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient for any reason whatsoever to an indemnified party in respect of any Damages referred to herein, then an indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Damages (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholder, respectively, on the one hand, and the Underwriter on the other hand, from the offering and sale of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative and several fault of the
- 22 -
Company and the Selling Stockholder, respectively, on the one hand, and the Underwriter on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Damages as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative and several benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholder, respectively, on the one hand, and the Underwriter on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Selling Stockholder bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholder, respectively, on the one hand, and the Underwriter on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, or by the Underwriter on the other hand and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(g) The Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 8(f) was determined by a pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(f). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Damages referred to in Section 8(f) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, (i) the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the underwriting commissions received by the Underwriter in connection with the Shares distributed to the public, and (ii) the Selling Stockholder shall not be required to contribute (x) in any circumstance in which the Damages arose from Selling Stockholder Information, any amount in excess of the amount of the Net Proceeds or (y) in any other circumstance, any amount. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(h) Any Damages for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Section 8 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party as Damages are incurred within a reasonable time after receipt of reasonably itemized invoices therefor. The indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 8 and the several, and not joint, representations and warranties of the Company and the Selling Stockholder set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter or any person controlling the Underwriter, the Company, the Selling Stockholder, their respective directors or officers or any person controlling the Company or the Selling Stockholder, (ii) acceptance of any Shares and payment therefor hereunder and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to the Underwriter or any person controlling the Underwriter, or to the Company or the Selling Stockholder, their respective directors or officers or any person controlling the Company or the Selling Stockholder, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 8.
