  On September 4, 2007, Loral Skynet Corporation ("Skynet"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Loral Space & Communications Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Valley National Bank ("Valley National").  The purpose of the Loan Agreement is to make available to Skynet a loan (the "Loan") to fund the redemption (the "Note Redemption") of Skynet&#x2019;s 14% Senior Secured Cash/PIK Notes due 2015 (the "Notes").  Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Valley National made the Loan in a single advance of $141,050,000, which Skynet used to fund the Note Redemption on September 4, 2007.<br><br>Amounts outstanding under the Loan bear interest at a rate of 4.10% per annum.  The maturity date of the Loan is the earlier of (i) December 17, 2007 or (ii) the date on which the assets of Skynet are transferred in connection with the previously announced acquisition of Telesat Canada by a wholly owned subsidiary of 4363205 Canada Inc., a Canadian corporation that is owned by the Company and Public Sector Pension Investment Board, as disclosed in the Company&#x2019;s Current Reports on Forms 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on December 21, 2006 and August 9, 2007.  The Loan Agreement permits Skynet to prepay all or a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Loan at any time prior to maturity without penalty or premium.<br><br>As security for repayment of the Loan, Skynet has granted security interests in certain of its assets.  The Loan is also entitled to the benefits of a continuing corporate guaranty (the "Guaranty") from the Company in favor of Valley National of the punctual repayment of the Loan, with the Company&#x2019;s obligations under the Guaranty being secured pursuant to a pledge agreement (the "Pledge Agreement") executed by the Company.  A certificate of deposit (the "CD") was issued by Valley National for the account of the Company in the initial principal amount of $142,720,659.00, such amount being equal to the sum of the principal of the Loan and accrued interest thereon from and including September 4, 2007 through, but not including, December 17, 2007.  The CD accrues interest at a rate of 3.85% per annum.  Pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the money on deposit under the CD secures the obligations of Skynet under the Loan Agreement and of the Company under the Guaranty.<br><br>The descriptions of the Loan Agreement, Guaranty and Pledge Agreement contained herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Loan Agreement, Guaranty and Pledge Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.<br>

  Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
  On September 4, 2007, Loral Skynet Corporation ("Skynet"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Loral Space & Communications Inc.

The purpose of the Loan Agreement is to make available to Skynet a loan (the "Loan") to fund the redemption (the "Note Redemption") of Skynet's 14% Senior Secured Cash/PIK Notes due 2015 (the "Notes").  Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Valley National made the Loan in a single advance of $141,050,000, which Skynet used to fund the Note Redemption on September 4, 2007.
  Amounts outstanding under the Loan bear interest at a rate of 4.10% per annum.  The maturity date of the Loan is the earlier of (i) December 17, 2007 or (ii) the date on which the assets of Skynet are transferred in connection with the previously announced acquisition of Telesat Canada by a wholly owned subsidiary of 4363205 Canada Inc., a Canadian corporation that is owned by the Company and Public Sector Pension Investment Board, as disclosed in the Company's Current Reports on Forms 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on December 21, 2006 and August 9, 2007.  The Loan Agreement permits Skynet to prepay all or a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Loan at any time prior to maturity without penalty or premium.
  As security for repayment of the Loan, Skynet has granted security interests in certain of its assets.  The Loan is also entitled to the benefits of a continuing corporate guaranty (the "Guaranty") from the Company in favor of Valley National of the punctual repayment of the Loan, with the Company's obligations under the Guaranty being secured pursuant to a pledge agreement (the "Pledge Agreement") executed by the Company.  A certificate of deposit (the "CD") was issued by Valley National for the account of the Company in the initial principal amount of $142,720,659.00, such amount being equal to the sum of the principal of the Loan and accrued interest thereon from and including September 4, 2007 through, but not including, December 17, 2007.  The CD accrues interest at a rate of 3.85% per annum.  Pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the money on deposit under the CD secures the obligations of Skynet under the Loan Agreement and of the Company under the Guaranty.
  The descriptions of the Loan Agreement, Guaranty and Pledge Agreement contained herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Loan Agreement, Guaranty and Pledge Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
