Pursuant to the Agreement, the parties also agreed to cause ORBCOMM Japan to enter into a Country Representative Agreement (the "CRA") with LLC to replace the SLA which was set to expire on June 5, 2008. In connection with the CRA, the parties agreed to cause ORBCOMM Japan to issue to LLC 616 additional shares of ORBCOMM Japan (the "Additional Shares") in lieu of license fee payable to LLC under the CRA such that LLC's ownership of ORBCOMM Japan shares will represent 51% of ORBCOMM Japan's outstanding shares, after giving effect to the issuance of the Additional Shares. 2 The Agreement also provides for the parties to enter into a Shareholders Agreement regarding future business, corporate governance, capital policy and similar matters of ORBCOMM Japan and the Agreement provides that certain actions may not be taken by ORBCOMM Japan without the consent of both LLC and MTS, including: the amendment of Articles of Incorporation; the issuance of shares, stock subscription rights, or bonds with stock acquisition rights, or the reduction of capital; the execution of a merger, corporate reorganization, share exchange, share transfer, transfer of all or a part of the business, or dissolution, of ORBCOMM Japan; the execution of a stock split or stock consolidation, purchase or redemption of shares, or change of the rights incidental to the shares; the execution of a transfer of important assets, establishment of security, lease, or other disposal; the assumption of significant indebtedness (including the issuance of corporate bonds), offer of a guarantee, or other security; any expenditure in excess of $50,000; or termination of ORBCOMM Japan's current business or entering into a new business.
