For purposes of this Agreement, “willful and material breach” shall mean a material breach that is a consequence of an act or omission knowingly undertaken by the breaching party with the primary purpose and intent of causing a breach of this Agreement, provided that neither any exercise by Investor of its rights and remedies as lender under the Replacement DIP Facility nor any failure or refusal of Investor as lender to grant any consent or waiver under the Replacement DIP Facility shall be considered a willful and material breach under this Agreement.

(c) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(iv) after the entry of the Investment Agreement Approval Order, the Company shall pay Investor a fee of $25 million (the “ Break-Up Fee ”) in cash by wire transfer (to an account designated in writing by Investor) either (i) two (2) business days following the consummation of the Superior Proposal pursuant to which this Agreement was terminated or (ii) if such Superior Proposal is terminated or abandoned, thirty (30) days following the termination of the Superior Proposal pursuant to which this Agreement was terminated (the “ Break-Up Fee Payment Date ”), provided that, Investor’s claim for the Break-Up Fee shall be deemed to have been incurred and shall accrue upon the date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to a Superior Proposal by the Company.

Investor shall not, and shall cause each of its Related Persons not to, bring any cause of action (other than for a willful and material breach of this Agreement by the Company) against or otherwise seek remedies from, the Company or any Company Affiliate or any of their respective Related Persons or any counterparty to an Alternative Transaction or any of such counterparty’s Affiliates or its other their Related Persons (other than for payment of the applicable Break-Up Fee when payable hereunder), whether at equity or in law, for breach of contract, in tort or otherwise, in the event that this Agreement is terminated for any reason in accordance with Section 6.01(a)(iv), and any claim, right or cause of action by Investor or any other person against the Company, any Company Subsidiary, their Affiliates or its of their respective Related Persons in excess of the applicable Break-Up Fee is hereby fully waived, released and forever discharged.

(e) If there is a Reverse Break Fee Termination, Investor shall pay to the Company a fee of $25 million (the “ Reverse Break-Up Fee ”). The Reverse Break-Up Fee, payable under the circumstances provided in this paragraph, constitutes liquidated damages and not a penalty and is, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the exclusive remedy of the Company, its Affiliates and its Related Persons after any Reverse Break Fee Termination, other than any monetary remedy, to the extent in excess of the Reverse Break-Up Fee, available to the Company and any Company Subsidiaries for a willful and material breach of this Agreement by Investor as contemplated in Section 6.02(d)(ii) below. The Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Related Persons not to, bring any cause of action (other than for a willful and material breach of this Agreement by Investor) against or otherwise seek remedies from, Investor or any Affiliate of Investor or any of their respective Related Persons, whether at equity or in law, for breach of contract, in tort or otherwise, in the event that this Agreement is terminated for any reason in accordance with a Reverse Break Fee Termination, and any claim, right or cause of action (other than for a willful and material breach of this Agreement by Investor) by the Company or any other person against Investor, its Affiliates or their respective Related Persons in excess of the applicable Reverse Break-Up Fee is hereby fully waived, released and forever discharged. When used herein, a “ Reverse Break Fee Termination ” means a termination

(i) by either Party pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(v) if at the time of such termination (1) all of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 (other than those conditions that by their nature or their terms are to be satisfied only at the Closing and the conditions set forth in Section 5.01(c), Section 5.01(d) and Section 5.02(c)) have been satisfied or waived in writing as of such termination, (2) those conditions set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 that by their nature or their terms are to be satisfied only at the Closing (not including, for the avoidance of doubt, those set forth in Section 5.01(c), Section 5.01(d) and Section 5.02(c)) would have been satisfied had the Closing taken place on such termination date, and (3) any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.01(c), Section 5.01(d) or Section 5.02(c) have neither been satisfied nor waived in writing; or

(ii) by the Company pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(iii) if at the time of such termination (1) all of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 (other than those conditions that by their nature or their terms are to be satisfied only at

43

the Closing) and (2) those conditions set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 that by their nature or their terms are to be satisfied only at the Closing would have been satisfied had the Closing taken place on such termination date, except in each case as the failure of a condition results from the material breach by Investor pursuant to which the Company is terminating this Agreement.

For purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) immediately above, the condition set forth in Section 5.02(l) shall be deemed satisfied if there shall not have been any unwaived event of default under the Replacement DIP Facility in accordance with the terms thereof other than the failure to repay in full all obligations under the Replacement DIP Facility on or before the Scheduled Maturity Date (as defined in the DIP Commitment Letter). Any Reverse Break-Up Fee, may, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, be paid to the Company by either or a combination aggregating $25 million of the following: (x) a reduction in principal amount of indebtedness outstanding under the Prepetition Credit Agreement (a “ Prepetition Credit Agreement Credit ”) and/or (y) cash by wire transfer (to an account designated in writing by the Company). In the event the Reverse Break-Up Fee is paid to the Company by a Prepetition Credit Agreement Credit, Investor shall cause the Prepetition Credit Agreement and all documents entered into in connection therewith and all payment registers maintained in connection with such Prepetition Credit Agreement to reflect such reduction and that reduction in principal shall be given effect for purposes of Section 2.7(a)(ii) of that certain Collateral Trust Agreement dated as of August 15, 2005, among ICO Global Communications (Holdings) Limited, the Debtors, and The Bank of New York (f/k/a The Bank of New York Mellon), as collateral agent.

(f) In the event that (i) this Agreement is terminated other than (A) pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(iv) or (B) by the Company pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(iii) as a result of a breach by Investor, and (ii) at the time of such termination Investor then holds a majority of the funded indebtedness of the Company, Investor shall have the right, in its discretion, to direct and require any Debtor to immediately develop and implement one or more processes for the sale of any or all of its assets under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “ 363 Sales Process ”) and, subject to obtaining Bankruptcy Court approval and other required regulatory consents and approval of the Investor, to execute any such sales (“ 363 Sales ”), all with the goal of maximizing the value of and monetizing the Debtors’ assets. The development, implementation and execution of a 363 Sales Process shall include, without limitation, creation of appropriate marketing materials, the solicitation of potentially interested parties, the establishment and provision of access to a data room, the filing and prosecution of motions or other appropriate pleadings with the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval of the bidding procedures for any 363 Sale, and shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to the Investor provided, however, that such 363 Sales Process shall not preclude the Debtors from pursuing a plan of reorganization (in addition to the 363 Sales Process) but the Debtors may not file, propose or seek to confirm any such plan unless, in an exercise of the Debtors’ fiduciary duties, it would maximize value for the Debtors’ estates, taking into account timeframe, execution risk, total enterprise value, and other relevant factors, as compared to executing one or more 363 Sales. Any such 363 Sale shall be on terms and conditions that are reasonably acceptable to the Investor. The Debtors agree to execute and deliver such agreements, documents and instruments as the Investor may reasonably request to effectuate the foregoing, such agreements, documents and instruments to be reasonably acceptable to the Investor.
