CTA. According to Motient’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company first entered into an agreement with CTA in May 2002 to provide consulting services to the Company. CTA has been engaged by the Company for a variety of services since that date and Motient Corporation April 12, 2006 Page 8 is still providing “ongoing operational consulting” related to the Company’s “core communications business.” The Company has indicated that it has been paying CTA a monthly fee of $100,000, which increased from $60,000 per month in November 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2005, Motient paid CTA $9.4 million in cash and stock in 2005. The following persons associated with Motient have been (or are) affiliated with CTA: • Mx.

CTA. As set out above, I am of the view that the RTA does not govern the relationship between a landlord and a head tenant in these circumstances. Assuming that my view is correct, and the RTA does not apply to the relationship between the landlord and the head tenant (although, as is set out below, this position is open to question), the tenancy between the landlord and the head tenant would essentially be considered a commercial tenancy, with the result that the Commercial Tenancies Act (the “CTA”) would apply to the parties’ relationship. The significance of this cannot be overstated. The purposes of the RTA are to provide protection for residential tenants from unlawful rent increases and unlawful evictions, to establish a framework for the regulation of rents, to balance the rights and responsibilities of residential landlords and tenants, and to provide for the adjudication of disputes. To this end, the RTA provides residential tenants with a significant package of rights and protections. Moreover, the RTA provides residential tenants and landlords with recourse to the Board which, relatively speaking, is an extremely quick and cost effective process to resolve disputes. The CTA, on the other hand, does not provide tenants with the significant rights and protections found in the RTA. Rather, to a large extent, the parties are left alone to negotiate the terms that will govern their relationship. Of greater significance, perhaps, is that the CTA does not provide tenants or landlords with recourse to the Board. Instead, to resolve disputes, the parties are essentially forced to initiate proceedings at the Superior Court of Justice, which is a much more expensive and time-consuming process. The Case Law The Matlavik Case The appropriate starting point for our discussion is the Divisional Court’s decision rendered on March 16, 1979 in Matlavik Holdings Ltd. x. Xxxxxxx (the “Matlavik Case”). This appears to be one of the earliest decisions that dealt with this issue, and it is arguably the most influential decision. In the Matlavik Case, the head tenant had rented 31 rental units from the landlord in order to sublet same as part of its business of providing furnished accommodation to subtenants on a short-term basis. At some point during the course of the head tenant’s tenancy, the landlord applied for rent review pursuant to the Residential Premises Rent Review Act (the “RPRRA”), which legislation was in effect at the time but no longer exists. The applicabil...
