Credit Agreement and Security Agreement
On December 2, 2020, ORBCOMM Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) entered into a senior secured Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”), as administrative agent and collateral agent, and with the other lenders party thereto.
The Credit Agreement provides a senior revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $50,000,000 (the “Revolving Facility”) and a senior term loan facility in the aggregate amount of $200,000,000 (the “Term Facility” and together with the Revolving Facility, collectively the “Facilities”).
The proceeds of the Facilities will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries and to refinance and redeem the Company’s $220,000,000 of outstanding 8.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (CUSIP Nos.: 68555P AA8 (144A) and U6834M AA5 (Regulation S)) (the “Securities”), on December 2, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), at a price equal to (a) 104% of the principal amount of Securities being redeemed plus (b) accrued and unpaid interest to, the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, the Company borrowed $20,000,000 under the Revolving Facility to fund the redemption of the Securities.
The Facilities mature on December 2, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”).
At the Company’s election, loans under the Facilities will bear interest at an alternative base rate or an adjusted LIBO rate, plus an applicable margin subject to the Pricing Grid below, with respect to the Revolving Facility and the Term Facility.

The Facilities will be secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets under an Amended and Restated Security Agreement among the Company, its subsidiaries and JPMorgan Chase (the “Security Agreement”).
