March 6, 2000http://www.motorola.com/satellite/info/ URGENT NOTIFICATION Dear Valued Motorola Customer: On Monday, March 6, 2000, Iridium LLC was authorized to use cash collateral to continue operations through March 17, 2000. Iridium LLC will continue its efforts to find a qualified buyer. However, unless a qualified buyer comes forward and provides additional funding by March 15, 2000, we do not expect Iridium service to be available after 11:59 PM (EST) on March 17, 2000. In the meantime, Motorola will continue its support for Iridium LLC, the gateways, service providers, and all current customers and subscribers. Motorola is attempting to directly contact all its direct end user customers who subscribe to Iridium service through a Motorola-owned Service Provider as quickly as possible to inform them about the current status of Iridium service availability. However we would appreciate your sharing this information with anyone you know who uses Iridium service. As you may know, Motorola and other Iridium investors have been working very hard to support Iridium LLC?s efforts to reorganize and continue operating the business. Motorola cares deeply about its customers, and as a valued customer, we are concerned about your needs. We understand that you probably have a number of questions. We will update this site as we learn more about the situation. In the event that Iridium service becomes unavailable, we would be happy to talk to you about other possible communications solutions. Additionally, contact information for possible alternative service providers is provided below for your convenience. If you would like to contact Motorola directly, please click here. Questions other customers are asking Q: What are my options now that it is likely that Iridium service will end? How do I contact another satellite service provider? Motorola cares deeply about its customers, and as a valued customer, we are concerned about your needs. If you would like information on other products or services that may be able to provide an alternative solution to your communication needs, please find a list of possible alternatives below. Q: Will other satellite service providers offer similar contracts? We are unable to comment on the types of contracts other satellite service providers may offer.

We do not have information on the packages that alternative satellite service providers offer. Q: Will the service be of the same quality? Motorola cannot compare alternative satellite service providers to Iridium service. Q: Will my current equipment function with another satellite service provider? Motorola satellite communication products built for the Iridium system will not function with other satellite providers
