1. Guaranty
(a) 2023 Prepayment Agreement. Thermo Funding hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, guarantees to Globalstar the prompt payment, in full, when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), by Globalstar and its successors and assigns, of all present and future obligations of Globalstar to [*] in connection with the 2023 Prepayment Agreement, and including the obligations of Globalstar to [*] thereunder in respect of the Prepayment Balance (as defined therein) and any damages that may arise as a result of Globalstar’s breach of any term of the

2023 Prepayment Agreement (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the US Federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended or supplemented from time to time, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions of the 2023 Prepayment Agreement).
(b) MDA Satellites. Thermo Funding hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, guarantees to Globalstar the repayment, in full upon demand by [*], of any amounts paid by [*] to cure any default of Globalstar in the performance or punctual payment when due of all Globalstar payment obligations under the MDA Satellites Agreements. Thermo Funding hereby guarantees that if Globalstar does not make a payment within 5 Business Days as required under the MDA Satellites Agreements or any other such amount to fund Globalstar’s 50% share of the P2 Capex (as set out in the 2023 Prepayment Agreement) up to $252 million, as may be adjusted pursuant to the Supply Agreements; provided, that the $252 million shall be automatically adjusted upwards to an amount not to exceed $364.5 million when and if Globalstar enters into amendments to the MDA Satellites Agreements and/or other agreements related to P2 Capex that increase the total dollar amount of P2 Capex, then upon written notice by [*] to Thermo Funding of such failure to pay, Thermo Funding will make such payments either to Globalstar or directly to the P2 Capex vendor in 5 Business Days ((a)-(b), the “Guaranteed Obligations”).
(c) Term; No Duplication. The foregoing guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether by either Globalstar, in accordance with the 2023 Prepayment Agreement and the MDA Satellites Agreements, Thermo in accordance with the terms hereof or the Partner Guaranty or otherwise, as the case may be. In the event Thermo Funding has made a payment pursuant to the Partner Guaranty in respect any of the Partner Guaranteed Obligations (a “Partner Payment”), Thermo Funding shall have no obligation to make any payment hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent such Partner Payment satisfies such Guaranteed Obligations.
2. Covenants.
(a) Thermo Funding hereby agrees that within fifteen days of becoming aware of Globalstar’s cash balance falling below $30 million at the end of any calendar quarter as a result of Globalstar making payments in the ordinary course or in respect of P2 Capex or Recoupment obligations under the Prepayment Agreements, Thermo Funding will make a capital contribution to Globalstar of the amount necessary to bring Globalstar’s cash balance above such amount if Globalstar has not remedied the deficit by that time (the “Contribution Obligation”). Except as otherwise provided in the foregoing sentence, Thermo Funding shall have no Contribution Obligation in respect of any extraordinary or non-recurring payments of Globalstar.
(b) Thermo Funding hereby covenants for the benefit of Globalstar that Thermo Funding will not pay any dividend or distribute, or transfer, any assets to any direct or indirect member, or any parent entity or other affiliate, of Thermo Funding if the effect of such dividend, distribution or transfer would cause Thermo Funding to fail to maintain the Minimum Asset Level as set forth under Section 3 hereof.
3. Minimum Asset Level. If at any time the market value of Thermo Funding’s assets minus its Indebtedness drops below 150% of the then-aggregate amount of the obligations guaranteed by Thermo Funding under Section 1 hereof (the “Minimum Asset Level”), then Thermo Funding will cause, within five Business Days, one or more affiliates to contribute Qualified Assets to Thermo Funding such that Thermo Funding maintains the Minimum Asset Level. “Qualified Assets” means any of: (i) Kinder Morgan Inc. (“KMI”) publicly-traded stock or other stock that is traded on a NYSE or Nasdaq market; (ii) cash; or (iii) another security acceptable to Globalstar.
4. Reimbursement of Guaranty Payments.
(a) In the event Thermo Funding pays any amount in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (each such amount, a “Guaranty Payment”), Globalstar shall issue on the applicable Guaranty Payment Date (as defined herein) a number of shares of the Common Stock to Thermo Funding equal to (i) the amount of the Guaranty Payment divided by (ii) the average of the five (5) trailing Daily VWAPs (as defined herein) ending on the Trading Day (as defined herein) immediately preceding such Guaranty Payment Date (asdefined herein) (each, a “Stock Payment” and collectively, the “Stock Payments”). Once a Stock Payment has

been made to Thermo Funding, Globalstar shall have no further obligation to Thermo Funding hereunder with respect to the applicable Guaranty Payment.
(b) As of the date hereof and on each Guaranty Delivery Date, Thermo Funding hereby represents and warrants to, the Company as follows:

(C) is consummating the transactions contemplated hereby with a full understanding of all of the terms, conditions and risks and willingly assumes those terms, conditions and risks;
(2) Thermo Funding is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

Thermo Funding understands that the shares of Common Stock issued under this Guaranty have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend in part upon the investment intent of Thermo Funding and of the other representations made by Thermo Funding in this Guaranty. Thermo Funding understands that Globalstar is relying upon the representations and agreements contained in this Guaranty (and any supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements for such exemptions.
(3) Thermo Funding understands that the shares of the Common Stock issued hereunder are “restricted securities” under applicable federal securities laws and that the Securities Act and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) provide in substance that Thermo Funding may dispose of the shares of Common Stock issued hereunder only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Thermo Funding further acknowledges and agrees: (i) that Thermo Funding will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any shares of the Common Stock issued hereunder or any interest therein, or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, unless the transaction is registered under the Securities Act and complies with the requirements of all applicable state securities laws, or the transaction is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and all applicable requirements of state securities laws; (ii) that any certificates representing the Securities will bear a legend making reference to the foregoing restrictions; and (iii) that the Globalstar and its affiliates shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of such shares of Common Stock issued hereunder, except upon compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
(c) Thermo Funding understands that each Stock Payment has been issued pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities laws, and, except as set forth below, the shares issued with respect to each Stock Payment shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT.

unable, admits in writing its inability, or fails generally to pay its debts as they become due; (iii) if Thermo Funding fails to make any payment of any Guaranteed Obligations as and when due under this Guaranty and such failure is not cured within 5 Business Days, (iv) if Thermo Funding fails to duly observe, perform or comply with any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Guaranty and such failure is not cured within 10 Business Days, or (v) if Thermo Funding fails to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement, applicable to Thermo Funding, contained in the 2023 Prepayment Agreement or the Supply and such failure is not cured with 10 Business Days, (vi) any representation or warranty made or deemed made under and in connection with this Guaranty, or any representation, warranty, statement or information contained in any report, certificate or other instrument or control agreement furnished in connection with or pursuant to this Guaranty, shall prove to have been false or misleading in any material respect when so made, deemed made or furnished, (viii) if any provision of this Guaranty shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the express terms hereof) cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable against Thermo Funding or Thermo Funding shall so state in writing or bring an action to limit its obligations or liabilities hereunder.
6. Remedies.
(a) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Globalstar may exercise any or all rights and remedies described in this Section 6. All rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Globalstar and Globalstar shall be cumulative. No delay, failure or discontinuance of Globalstar in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver of such right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude, waive or otherwise affect any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Globalstar of any default hereunder, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing.

Thermo Funding further agrees not to oppose the granting of any such injunction, specific performance, and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) Globalstar has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.
(c) Statute of Limitations. Until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full, the power of sale or other disposition and all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to Globalstar hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Globalstar at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof may have become barred by any statute of limitations, or that the personal liability of Thermo Funding may have ceased, unless such liability shall have ceased due to the payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations secured hereunder
7. Waivers.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Thermo Funding hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any applicable law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by Globalstar. Thermo Funding waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and of the Guaranteed Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non- performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of any Guaranteed Obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind (except for notices to be provided pursuant to this Guaranty), all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar applicable law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Globalstar or any other person interested in the transactions contemplated hereby, all suretyship defenses generally (other than fraud or willful misconduct by Globalstar or any of its affiliates), and any requirement that Globalstar exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against Globalstar under the 2023 Prepayment Agreement or the Supply Agreements or any other agreements or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guaranty of, or security for, Globalstar obligations under the 2023 Prepayment Agreement or the Supply Agreements. Thermo Funding waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the obligations owed by Globalstar to [*] under the 2023 Prepayment Agreement or the Supply Agreements.

Thermo Funding further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law (i) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Globalstar, including any defense based upon an impairment or elimination of Thermo Funding 's rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity of Thermo Funding against any sureties (if any) and (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof.
(g) No failure on the part of Globalstar to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Globalstar of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder except as explicitly set forth herein, in the KTA or in the 2023 Prepayment Agreement. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations hereof, the KTA and the 2023 Prepayment Agreement, each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to Globalstar or allowed to it by applicable law shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by Globalstar at any time or from time to time.

Thermo Funding agrees that it will indemnify Globalstar on demand for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees of counsel) incurred in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
10. Nature of Guaranteed Obligations.

This Guaranty constitutes the entire guaranty between Thermo Funding and Globalstar with respect to Guaranteed Obligations and supersedes any and all prior discussions, negotiations, proposals, undertakings, understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, among the parties hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, this Guaranty shall not supersede or in any way affect Thermo Funding’s obligations set forth in the Partner Guaranty or any other written agreement between the parties. All parties hereto acknowledge that each party and its counsel have participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Guaranty and that any rules of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Guaranty.
20. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission or via portable document format (.pdf) or similar electronic means) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Guaranty and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include any electronic sound, symbol or process attached to, or associated with, a contract or other record and adopted by a person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record, and deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar State laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require Globalstar to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.
21. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment, waiver, supplement or modification of any provision of this Guaranty will be valid and binding unless it is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, supplement or modification, by Thermo Funding and Globalstar or, in the case of waiver, by the party or parties against whom the waiver is to be effective. No waiver by any party hereto of any breach or violation of, or default under, this Guaranty, whether intentional or not, will be deemed to extend to any prior
or subsequent breach, violation or default hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. Subject to the terms hereof, no delay or omission on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Guaranty will operate as a waiver thereof.
22. Severability. Any term or provision of this Guaranty that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.
23. Third-Party Beneficiary; No Other Third-Party Beneficiaries. Thermo Funding and Globalstar hereby agree that [*] is an express third-party beneficiary to this Guaranty, with the right to enforce any failure on the part of Thermo Funding to satisfy the Guaranteed Obligations when they are due and payable. Other than [*], the parties hereto agree that their respective representations, warranties, Agreements and covenants set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Guaranty, and this Guaranty is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights or remedies under this Guaranty.

and the Partner Guaranty shall not be included in the calculation of Thermo Funding’s Indebtedness for any purpose hereunder.
“Trading Day” means any day on which trading in the Common Stock generally occurs on the NYSE American (or such other principal national or regional stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed at such time).
