                                     DECLARATION



        1.     I, Douglas G. Dwyre, am a Vice President of L/Q Licensee, Inc. ("LQL")

        2.     LQL has been authorized by the Federal Communications Commission to
construct, launch and operate the Globalstar Mobile—Satellite Service system in the 1610—
1626.5/2483.5—2500 MHz and 5091—5250/6875—7055 MHz frequency bands for user links
and feeder links, respectively. See L/Q Licensee, Inc., DA 96—1924 (released Nov. 19,
1996); Loral/Qualcomm Partnership. L.P., DA 95—128 (released Jan. 31, 1995).

       3.     Pursuant to the terms and conditions of its license, as set forth in
Paragraph 16 of the International Bureau‘s Order and Authorization, dated November 19,
1996, LQL is required to meet certain implementation milestone requirements.
Specifically, LQL is required to begin construction of its first two satellites within one
year of November 1996.

       4.      On behalf of LQL, I hereby certify that this milestone requirement has
been met. Space Systems/Loral, Inc., the contractor for the spacecraft, has commenced
construction of the 56 spacecraft for the Globalstar system. Eight replacement satellites
have also been ordered for use in the event of launch failures or loss of in—orbit satellites.

        5.      Moreover, at this date, construction is complete on the first four Globalstar
satellites, and they have been shipped to the launch site.

        I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

        Executed this 28—__      day of November, 1997.
