         and warranty that is expressly made "as of the date hereof", which
         shall be deemed to mean "as of August 21, 1996", shall be true and

                 (b)  Each of the Company and Iridium LLC had the full power

         liabilities to the Company and the Company has assumed all of the
         obligations of Iridium LLC under the Credit Agreement and the
         Revolving Credit Notes, and to perform its obligations thereunder.
         The execution, delivery and performance by the Company and Iridium LLC
         of the Asset Transfer Agreement and the consummation of the
         transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all
         necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and Iridium LLC.

         of the Asset Transfer Agreement and the consummation of the Asset
         Transfer described therein do not and will not (a) require any consent
         or approval of any Person that has not already been obtained and that
         remains in full force and effect, (b) violate any material provision
         of any Government Rule or any order, writ, judgment, decree,
         determination or award having applicability to the Company, Iridium
         LLC or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (c) violate any provision
         of the charter documents of Iridium LLC or the Company, (d) result in
         a breach or constitute a default under any material indenture or
         agreement to which the Company, Iridium LLC or any of their respective
         Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of their respective property
         is bound or affected or (e) result in or require the creation or
         imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any of the properties
         or assets now owned or hereafter acquired by such Person (other than
         Liens permitted under Section 8.06).  The transfer of assets and
         liabilities under the Asset Transfer Agreement has been given effect
         and all of the assets of
