(1) Estimated for the purposes of calculating the amount of the filing fee in
    accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
    amended, based upon (a) 8,084,174 shares of 6% Series C Convertible
    Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding as of July 31, 2002, (b) 3,391,688
    shares of 6% Series D Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding as
    of July 31, 2002, (c) the exchange ratio of $1.92 in cash and 6.54 shares of
    Common Stock, par value $.01 each, of Loral Space & Communications Ltd. for
    each share of Preferred Stock pursuant to the Exchange Offer, and (d) the
    market value per share of Common Stock, as established by the average of the
    high and low prices reported as of September 24, 2002 on the New York Stock
    Exchange.

(2) On August 27, 2002, the registrant paid $4,220 to the Commission for the
    filing fee related to this transaction. The increase in the filing fee
    results from an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock being

    tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer.
