Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

The information set forth in Item 6 below is incorporated into this Item 4 by reference.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 is hereby amended by adding the following:

On November 23, 2020, the Issuer entered into a Transaction Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended from time to time, the Transaction Agreement) with Telesat Canada, a Canadian corporation (Telesat), Telesat Partnership LP, a limited partnership formed under the laws of Ontario, Canada (Telesat Partnership), Telesat Corporation, a newly formed corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada and the sole general partner of Telesat Partnership (New Telesat), Telesat CanHold Corp., a corporation incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada and wholly owned subsidiary of Telesat Partnership, Lion Combination Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Issuer (Merger Sub), Public Sector Pension Investment Board, a Canadian Crown corporation (PSP), and Red Isle Private Investments Inc., a Canadian corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of PSP (Red Isle), under which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Telesat Partnership, and the Issuers stockholders (including the Reporting Persons) receiving common shares of New Telesat and/or units of Telesat Partnership that will be exchangeable for common shares of New Telesat (the Transaction).

In connection with the entry by the Issuer in the Transaction Agreement, MHR Fund Management LLC and certain of its affiliated entities (collectively, MHR) entered into certain agreements as described below.

Voting Support Agreement.

As a condition and inducement to the willingness of PSP to enter into the Transaction Agreement, MHR entered into a voting support agreement (the Voting Support Agreement) with Telesat and PSP pursuant to which, among other things, MHR has agreed to (i) vote in favor of the Transaction an amount of shares of Issuer voting common stock equal to 30% of the Issuers voting common stock outstanding and (ii) certain covenants with respect to the solicitation of alternative transactions and cooperation with respect to regulatory approvals, in each case to the extent of PSPs covenants with respect to such matters under the Transaction Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Voting Support Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Support Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

MHR Standstill Agreement.

The Issuer and MHR have entered into a standstill agreement (the MHR Standstill Agreement) prohibiting MHR from, subject to the terms thereof, increasing their ownership of Issuer voting common stock by more than 6% prior to the conclusion of the Issuer stockholder meeting to be held to approve the Transaction. The MHR Standstill Agreement will terminate immediately upon the first to occur of the conclusion of the Issuer stockholder meeting and termination of the Transaction Agreement.

The foregoing description of the MHR Standstill Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the MHR Standstill Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Full and Final Release and Amendment of Tolling Agreement.

The Issuer has asserted certain claims against PSP arising out of PSPs actions in certain previous transaction processes relating to Telesat. PSP has asserted various counterclaims and PSP, Red Isle, the Issuer, Loral Holdings Corporation and Telesat have entered into a series of tolling agreements preventing those claims from being terminated due to the passing of the statute of limitations while negotiating the Transaction Agreement. In connection with the signing of the Transaction Agreement, the parties, including MHR Fund Management LLC, will sign a mutual release that will release those claims on the first to occur of the closing of the Transaction or the termination of the Transaction Agreement due to Issuers material breach (the Release and Amendment of Tolling Agreement).

The foregoing description of the Release and Amendment of Tolling Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Release and Amendment of Tolling Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 3 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
