The consideration payable by ORBCOMM at the closing with respect to substantially all the assets of PLMS is equal to the aggregate amount of $6,000,000 (the “Closing Consideration”) in cash and common stock as follows:

 

  (i) Cash consideration in an amount equal to four million Dollars ($4,000,000);

 

  (ii) Issuance and delivery to PAR of 258,065 shares of ORBCOMM common stock (based on the amount of $800,000 divided by the average 20-day closing price of ORBCOMM common stock prior to the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement the “Average Price”));

 

  (iii) Issuance and delivery to The Bank of New York Mellon, as escrow agent (“Mellon”), of 387,097 shares of ORBCOMM common stock (based on the amount of $1,200,000 divided by the Average Price), which escrowed shares will be available to pay certain indemnification obligations of the Sellers to the Buyer; and

 

  (iv) Assumption by Buyer of certain specified assumed liabilities, generally consisting of liabilities arising after the closing date and liabilities reflected in the closing working capital calculation.

In addition to the Closing Consideration, contingent consideration of up to $3.95 million payable by ORBCOMM to PAR post-closing in cash, ORBCOMM common stock or a combination of cash and ORBCOMM common stock, at ORBCOMM’s option. Up to $3 million of the contingent consideration will be payable based on achievement of certain agreed-upon new subscriber targets for calendar year 2012 and up to $950,000 of the contingent consideration will be payable based on achieving agreed-upon sales targets for calendar years 2012 through 2014.
