NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. The First Closing.
-----------------------------------
1.1. Formation of Newco GP; Conversion of Newco LLC.
-------------------------------------------------------
(a) At or prior to the First Closing, the parties shall form a Delaware
corporation ("Newco GP"), to be named Mobile Satellite Ventures GP Inc., to act
as the general partner of Newco LP. Newco GP shall have one class of common
stock, which shall be owned by the Note Investors and the limited partners of
Newco LP pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests on an as
converted basis, in Newco LP. The charter and by-laws of Newco GP shall be
substantially in the forms of Exhibits A and B hereto, and at the First Closing
the entities which are to be Limited Partners of Newco LP and the Note
Investors, shall enter into the Newco GP Stockholders Agreement in the form of
Exhibit C hereto. At the First Closing, the entities which are to be limited
partners in Newco LP and the Note Investors shall purchase shares of Newco GP,
execute all consents and other approvals, and take all other actions reasonably
necessary to effect the conversion and other actions described in this Section
1.1. At the First Closing, Newco LLC shall convert into Newco LP in accordance

First Closing, Newco LP shall be owned as set forth on Schedule II hereto.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the conversion of Newco LLC into a
Delaware limited partnership or its continued status as a Delaware limited
partnership would or shall cause a materially adverse Canadian tax effect to TMI
due to a change in law or interpretation under Canadian tax law, the parties in
good faith will undertake to effect the conversion or continuation of Newco LLC
as a limited partnership in a U.S. jurisdiction other than Delaware that will
provide the same Canadian tax effects intended by this Agreement to be conferred
on TMI by the conversion or continuation of Newco LLC as a Delaware limited
partnership and will not otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect on any partner
in Newco LP. In that event, references to "Delaware" and certain provisions of
Delaware law herein and in the Ancillary Agreements correspondingly shall be
changed, where appropriate, to the name of that other U.S. jurisdiction. The
entities which are to be partners in Newco LP shall execute all consents and
other approvals, and take all other actions, reasonably necessary to effect the
conversion described in the immediately preceding sentence. Any additional costs
or expenses incurred by the parties in connection with such change of
jurisdiction shall be for the account of TMI.
(c) At or prior to the First Closing, Newco shall form a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Newco LP ("Newco Sub") to hold the FCC licenses that are to be
transferred by Sub and TMI to Newco or Newco Sub under the Asset Sale
Agreements.

convertible promissory notes (each a "Convertible Note" and collectively, the
"Convertible Notes") in the respective aggregate principal amount specified
opposite such Note Investor's name on Schedule III hereto at the purchase price
of 100% of the principal amount thereof, which shall result in an aggregate
purchase price to be paid by the Note Investors for all of the Convertible Notes
to be purchased by them at the First Closing of Fifty Two Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars (US$52,500,000). Following the First Closing, Newco LP shall be
owned as set forth on Schedule V.
(b) At the First Closing, Parent Sub shall purchase from Newco LP and Newco
LP shall issue and sell to Parent Sub a Convertible Note in the principal amount
of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) at the purchase price
of 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Convertible Notes shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto.
1.3. Formation of TMI Sub; TMI Asset Sale; The TMI Interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Delaware limited partnership ("TMI Sub") to hold the limited partnership

Schedule II and to purchase the Convertible Note as contemplated by Section 1.2
hereof.
(b) At the First Closing, the transactions contemplated by the Amended and
Restated Sub Asset Sale Agreement shall be consummated, including (i) the
issuance by Newco of a US $15 million promissory note to Sub substantially in

SECTION 2. The Second Closing.
------------------------------------
2.1. The Investor Interests.(a) At the Second Closing, each New Investor and
each Existing Investor (collectively, the "Second Closing Investors") shall,
severally and not jointly (subject to the second sentence of Section 2.3(b)),
purchase from Newco LP, and Newco LP shall sell to such Second Closing Investor,
the number of Class A Preferred Units in Newco LP described opposite such Second
Closing Investor's name on Schedule IV (or such greater number in accordance
with Section 2.2)(collectively, the "Investor Interests") for the purchase price
indicated on Schedule IV, which shall result in an aggregate purchase price to
be paid by the Second Closing Investors for all of the Investor Interests to be
purchased at the Second Closing of Fifty Million Dollars (US$50,000,000) (the
"Investor Purchase Price"). Following the Second Closing, if no adjustment to
the Per Unit Purchase Price is made pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, Newco LP
shall be owned as set forth on Schedule VI hereto.
(b) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, in the event
that, at the request of Newco LP, prior to the Second Closing any of the Second
Closing Investors (each, a "Pre-Funding Investor") provide additional capital
("Pre-Funded Capital") to Newco LP after the First Closing (whether in the form
of the purchase of additional Units or otherwise), then if such Pre-Funding
Investor so elects at the time of the funding of such Pre-Funded Capital, the
amount of the Pre-Funded Capital funded by such Pre-Funding Investor shall be
deducted from the Investor Purchase Price payable at the Second Closing by such
electing Pre-Funding Investor and the amount of Class A Preferred Units to be
purchased at the Second Closing by such Pre-Funding Investor shall be
proportionately reduced; provided, that in no event shall such elections reduce
the total Investor Purchase Price by more than $10,000,000 in the aggregate. For
the avoidance of doubt, any funding of Pre-Funding Capital shall not be deemed
to be the Second Closing for any purpose hereunder.
2.2. Per Unit Purchase Price Adjustment.
-------------------------------------------
(a) If the Issuer shall declare or make any distribution of its assets
(including cash) to holders of any Units (except for distributions to pay taxes
in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Newco LP Agreement) as a partial
liquidating dividend, by way of return of capital or otherwise, then the Second
Closing Investors shall be entitled to receive on the Second Closing Date the
amount of such assets which, if the Series A Preferred Units had been purchased
and issued immediately prior to such time, would have been payable to the holder
of such Class A Preferred Units on the record date for the determination of
partners entitled to such distribution. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, no adjustment in the Per Unit Purchase Price shall be made under this
Section 2.2(a) to the extent the Second Closing Investors participate in any
such distribution of assets in accordance with this Section 2.2(a).
(b) If Newco LP, at any time from and after the First Closing Date and
prior to the Second Closing Date, subdivides (by any split, dividend,
recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the outstanding
Units into a greater number of Units, then, after the date of record for
effecting such subdivision, the Per Unit Purchase Price in effect immediately
prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced. If Newco LP, at any
time from and after the First Closing Date and prior to the Second Closing Date,
combines (by reverse split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification
or otherwise) the outstanding Units into a smaller number of Units, then, after
the date of record for effecting such combination, the Per Unit Purchase Price
in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately
increased.
(c) If Newco LP shall, at any time or from time to time after the First
Closing Date and prior to the Second Closing Date, issue any Units (as defined
in the Newco LP Agreement)(other than an issuance of Units as a dividend or in a
split of or subdivision in respect of which the adjustment provided for in
Section 2.2(d) applies), options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Units,
securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Units, or options
to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable
securities without consideration or for consideration per Unit less the Per Unit
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, then such Per Unit
Purchase Price shall forthwith be lowered to a price equal to the price obtained
by multiplying:
(i) the Per Unit Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the
issuance of such Units, options, rights or securities by
(ii) a fraction of which (x) the denominator shall be the number of
Units outstanding on a fully-diluted basis immediately after such issuance
and (y) the numerator shall be the sum of (a) the number of Units
outstanding on a fully-diluted basis immediately prior to such issuance and
(b) the number of additional Units which the aggregate consideration for
the number of Units so offered would purchase at the Per Unit Purchase
Price.
For purposes of this Section 2.2, "fully diluted basis" shall be determined in
accordance with the treasury stock method of computing fully diluted earnings
per Unit in accordance with GAAP
(d) If Newco LP shall, at any time or from time to time after the First
Closing Date, directly or indirectly, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any
Units, options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Units, securities by their
terms convertible into or exchangeable for Units (other than the Convertible
Notes which are redeemed according to their terms), or options to purchase or
rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, for a
consideration per Unit greater than the Per Unit Purchase Price (plus, in the
case of such options, rights, or securities, the additional consideration
required to be paid to Newco LP upon exercise, conversion or exchange)
immediately prior to such event, then the Per Unit Purchase Price shall
forthwith be lowered to a price equal to the price obtained by multiplying:
(i) the Per Unit Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
event by
(ii) a fraction of which (x) the denominator shall be the Per Unit
Purchase Price immediately prior to such event and (y) the numerator shall
be the result of dividing:
(1) the product of (A) the number of Units outstanding on a
fully-diluted basis and (B) the Per Unit Purchase Price, in each case
immediately prior to such event, minus (2) the aggregate consideration
paid by Newco LP in such event (plus, in the case of such options,
rights, or convertible or exchangeable securities, the aggregate
additional consideration to be paid by Newco LP upon exercise,
conversion or exchange), by
(2) the number of Units outstanding on a fully-diluted basis
immediately after such event.
(e) For the purposes of any adjustment of a Per Unit Purchase Price
pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.2, the following provisions
shall be applicable:
(i) In the case of the issuance of Units for cash in a public offering
or private placement, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of
cash paid therefor before deducting any discounts, commissions or placement
fees payable by Newco LP to any underwriter or placement agent in
connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
(ii) In the case of the issuance of Units for a consideration in whole
or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be
deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by
the board of directors of Newco GP.
(iii) In the case of the issuance of options to purchase or rights to
subscribe for Units, securities by their terms convertible into or
exchangeable for Units, or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for
such convertible or exchangeable securities:
(1) the aggregate maximum number of Units deliverable upon
exercise of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Units
shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights
were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration
(determined in the manner provided in subparagraphs (i) and (ii)
above), if any, received by Newco LP upon the issuance of such options
or rights plus the minimum purchase price provided in such options or
rights for the Units covered thereby;
(2) the aggregate maximum number of Units deliverable upon
conversion of or in exchange for any such convertible or exchangeable
securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to
subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and
subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been
issued at the time such securities, options, or rights were issued and
for a consideration equal to the consideration received by Newco LP
for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any
cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends),
plus the additional consideration, if any, to be received by Newco LP
upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of
any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be
determined in the manner provided in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above);
(3) on any change in the number of Units deliverable upon
exercise of any such options or rights or conversions of or exchanges
for such securities, other than a change resulting from the
anti-dilution provisions thereof, the applicable Per Unit Purchase
Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Per Unit Purchase Price as
would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon the issuance of
such options, rights or securities not converted prior to such change
or options or rights related to such securities not converted prior to
such change been made upon the basis of such change; and
(4) no further adjustment of the Per Unit Purchase Price adjusted
upon the issuance of any such options, rights, convertible securities
or exchangeable securities shall be made as a result of the actual
issuance of Units on the exercise of any such rights or options or any
conversion or exchange of any such securities.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.2 to the contrary, no
adjustment to the Per Unit Purchase Price shall be made upon the issuance of any
interests in Newco LP issued (i) pursuant to this Agreement or the Convertible
Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the
conversion or redemption of the Convertible Notes), (ii) in connection with the
acquisition of the business of another entity, whether by the purchase of equity
securities, assets or otherwise, (iii) as part of an initial public offering or
other registered underwritten public offering of Newco LP's securities, (iv)
under an employee compensation plan approved by the Newco GP and (v) upon
conversion or exchange of any Convertible Note.
(g) Within 10 Business Days after the occurrence of any event which
requires any adjustment of the Per Unit Purchase Price, Newco LP shall give
written notice thereof to the Second Closing Investors. Such notice shall state
the Per Unit Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment and shall set forth
in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such
calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified by an appropriate
officer of the general partner of Newco LP.
(h) No adjustment of the Per Unit Purchase Price shall be made in an amount
of less than 1% of the Per Unit Purchase Price in effect at the time such
adjustment is otherwise required to be made, but any such lesser adjustment
shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the
next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments so carried
forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such Per Unit Purchase Price.
(i) In the event of a reduction in the Per Unit Purchase Price, the
aggregate Investor Purchase Price shall not be reduced, but the number of Class
A Preferred Units to the purchased by each Second Closing Investor at the Second
Closing shall be proportionately increased to reflect the reduced Per Unit
Purchase Price then in effect.

the payment contemplated by the preceding sentence (or shall fail to participate
in the Second Closing), the other Second Closing Investors in such Second
Closing Investor's Investor Group (as shown on Schedule IV) shall be obligated
to make up for the resulting shortfall. If any Investor Group shall fail to

SECTION 3. Parent Conversions.
------------------------------------
3.1. Parent Conversions.
---------------------------
(a) The Investor Group Designee designated by each of the three Existing
Investor's Investor Groups indicated on Schedule IV hereto shall have a right
upon written notice (the "Conversion Notice") to Parent on behalf of all
Existing Investors in such Investor Group Designee's Investor Group delivered on
or before June 30, 2003, to require (and upon receipt of such notice Parent
shall cause and do all things necessary (including preparing and filing within
15 days after receipt of such notice all required documents and filings) to
obtain all third-party or government consents, approvals and authorizations as
may be necessary or advisable to), as promptly as practicable (but in no event
later than the latest of (i) the expiration or termination of any applicable
waiting period under the HSR Act, (ii) the receipt of all necessary third party
or governmental consents, authorizations or approvals and (iii) 15 days after
receipt of such notice) either, at the option of each Existing Investor in such
Investor Group, (x) cause a Delaware direct wholly-owned corporate subsidiary of
Parent to merge, in a reorganization intended to be tax-free, into such Existing
Investor pursuant to a merger agreement substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit I (each, a "Parent Merger"); provided that such Existing
Investor shall be a corporation permitted under applicable law and its governing
instruments to effectuate a Parent Merger and shall have represented and
warranted that such Existing Investor has no assets or liabilities other than
the Investor Interests held by it and its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements or (y) exchange shares of common stock,
par value US$0.01 per share, of Parent ("Parent Common Stock) for all of the
Investor Interests held by such Existing Investor (each, a "Parent Exchange" and
together with the Parent Mergers, the "Parent Conversions"). In each Parent
Merger, all of the capital stock of the Existing Investor shall be converted
into shares of Parent Common Stock, and in each Parent Exchange, the Limited
Partnership Interests held by the Existing Investor shall be exchanged for
Parent Common Stock, in each case with the number of shares of Parent Common
Stock to be issued to be determined by dividing the Original Purchase Price (as
defined below) for the interest in Newco LP held by such Existing Investor (A)
by US$12, if the Closing Price as of the date of delivery of the Conversion
Notice (the "Notice Closing Price") is less than or equal to US$24, (B) by
US$20, if the Notice Closing Price is greater than or equal to US$40, or (C) if
the Notice Closing Price is greater than US$24 and less than US$40, then by such
number equal to one-half of the Notice Closing Price, as the case may be. In the
event Parent is excused from registering shares of Parent Common Stock on Forms
S-4 as contemplated by Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement, an
Investor may delay the closing of the Parent Conversion until such registration
is available or revoke its election with respect to the Parent Conversion, in
which case such election shall be deemed not to have been exercised for any
purpose hereunder. For purposes of the foregoing, the term "Original Purchase
Price" shall mean the sum of (x) the amount paid in June 2000 by such Existing
Investor for its interests in Newco LLC (i.e., an aggregate of $50 million for
all Existing Investors) and (y) the amount, if any, paid by the Existing
Investor at the Second Closing for its additional Limited Partnership Interests
in Newco LP (i.e., an aggregate of $5 million for all Existing Investors). The
number of Units as to which this Section 3.1 applies is 4,487,805.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, "Closing Price" means as of any date
and subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, stock
combination or other recapitalization of Parent (i) if shares of Parent Common
Stock are listed on a national securities exchange, the average of the closing
sale prices per share therefor on the largest securities exchange on which such
shares are traded on the last twenty (20) trading days before such date, (ii) if
such shares are listed on The Nasdaq National Market but not on any national
securities exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices per share
therefor on The Nasdaq National Market on the last twenty (20) trading days
before such date, or (iii) if such shares are not listed on either a national
securities exchange or The Nasdaq National Market, the average of the closing
bid and asked prices per share therefor in the over the counter market on the
last thirty (30) trading days before such date.
(c) If there shall be any consolidation or merger to which Parent is a
party, or any sale or conveyance of the property of Parent as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety (any such event being called a "Parent Capital
Reorganization"), then, effective upon the effective date of such Parent Capital
Reorganization, the Existing Investors shall have the right to receive in the
Parent Conversion the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities
and property (including cash) which the Existing Investors would have been
entitled to receive in connection with such Parent Capital Reorganization if the
Parent Conversion had been effected immediately prior to such Parent Capital
Reorganization. As a condition to effecting any Parent Capital Reorganization,
Parent or the successor or surviving corporation, as the case may be, shall
execute and deliver to each Existing Investor an agreement as to such Existing
Investor's rights in accordance with this Section 3.1(c). The provisions of this
Section 3.1(c) shall similarly apply to successive Parent Capital
Reorganizations.
3.2. Staged Exercise. To the extent the exercise by the Existing Investors of
their rights under Section 3.1 would require prior approval by the FCC, the
Existing Investors and Parent shall enter into such arrangements as shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Existing Investors and Parent to avoid such
result, until the FCC will have had a reasonable time to approve such a request,
including without limitation, if the Existing Investors shall so elect, either
(x) Parent giving the Existing Investors or their designees the power to vote
some or all of the limited partnership interests acquired by Parent in the
Parent Conversion(s) until such time as the FCC grants any necessary transfer of
control application, or (y) the Existing Investors transferring a portion of
their Units to other entities prior to effecting the Parent Conversion(s), which
other entities would have the right to effect a Parent Conversion at such time
as the FCC grants any necessary transfer of control application.

Newco and incorporated herein (which shall be updated on the First Closing Date

issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable with no personal liability
attaching to ownership thereof, in each case, free and clear of any

arrangements upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by
the Ancillary Agreements.

subject to any restriction or condition which would limit in any material
respect the full operation of the Existing Sub Business as now operated, and no
proceeding, inquiry, investigation or other administrative action is pending or,
to Parent's knowledge, threatened by or before the FCC that would reasonably be
expected to result in the revocation of any material FCC authorization or
otherwise impair in any material respect the full operation of the Existing Sub
Business. The representations contained in this Section 4.15 are limited by the
statements set forth in the section of Parent's most recent SEC Form 10-K
entitled "Business -- Regulation" filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on April 2, 2001 ("Regulatory Disclosure"). The statements contained

Application would not granted by the FCC. Parent and Sub have delivered to
Investor true and complete copies of the Licenses and Applications, including
any all additions, amendments and other modifications thereto.
(c) Sub is the authorized legal holder of all the Licenses. The Licenses
are in good standing, are in full force and effect, and are unimpaired by any
act or omission of Parent, Sub, or any of their officers, directors, or
employees; and the operation of the Existing Sub Business is in full compliance
with the Licenses. These Licenses are sufficient for the lawful conduct of the
business and operation of the Existing Sub Business in the manner and to the
full extent they are currently conducted. All material reports, forms, and
statements required to be filed with the FCC with respect to the Existing Sub
Business have been filed and are complete and accurate in all material respects.
(d) In 1999, Sub had access to the spectrum assigned to Sub in the 1999

of Parent, Parent Sub, Sub or Newco omits to state a material fact required to
be stated herein or therein or necessary in order to make the statements
contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.
4.21. Newco Financial Statements. Each of the balance sheets included in the
Newco Financial Statements fairly presented the financial position of Newco as
of the date thereof and the statements of operations, members' capital and cash

have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws, (ii) are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from
registration contained in the Securities Act based in part on the
representations of such Investor contained in this Agreement, and (iii) the
Investor Interests, the Parent Securities and the Note Securities may not be
sold unless such disposition is registered under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws or is exempt from registration thereunder.

its own account, for investment only and not with a view to the distribution
thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.

experience in evaluating and investing in private transactions of securities in

Additional Interests, the Parent Securities and/or the Note Securities, as the
case may be, acquired pursuant to this Agreement is highly speculative and
involves substantial economic risk. Such Investor understands that it must bear
the economic risk of this investment indefinitely unless the Additional
Interests, the Parent Securities and/or the Note Securities that such Investor

registration is available for the resale of such securities, and that such
Investor may sustain, and is financially able to sustain, a complete loss of its
investment pursuant to this Agreement. Such Investor understands that neither
Parent nor Newco has any present intention of registering the Additional
Interests, the Parent Securities or the Note Securities. Such Investor also
understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from registration
under the Securities Act for the resale of such securities will be available and
that, even if available, such exemption may not allow such Investor to transfer
all or any portion of Additional Interests and/or Parent Securities and/or the
Note Securities under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times such
Investor might propose.

Investor of this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a
party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of such
Investor, and this Agreement and each of such Ancillary Agreements when executed
will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Investor,
enforceable against such Investor in accordance with its terms, except to the
extent that enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and except to the extent that
the remedy of specific performance and injunction and other forms of equitable
relief may be subject to equitable defenses.

such Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and compliance
with the provisions hereof and thereof will not (a) violate or conflict with, or
require any consent, approval, notice or filing under, any provision of any

of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time, or both) a default or loss

herein or therein or necessary in order to make the statements contained herein
or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.
SECTION 7. Right to Require Valuation.
--------------------------------------------
(a) If one or more of the Existing Investors shall have exercised its or
their rights under Section 3.1 (the "Flipper(s)"), then, beginning on the fifth
anniversary of the Second Closing Date, those Existing Investors who were in the
same Investors Group as the Flippers (the "Flipper Sisters") shall have the
right (i) by delivery of a notice (the "Appraisal Notice") to Newco LP and the
other partners in Newco LP, to require that the Fair Market Value (as defined
below) of Newco LP be determined as provided below and (ii) unless the Limited
Partnership Interests then held by such Existing Investors (but excluding any
Units that were acquired after the Second Closing other than from another
Existing Investor (other than Units acquired by such other Existing Investor
after the Second Closing)) are purchased pursuant to clause (d) or (f) below, to
exercise the rights provided in clause (e) below.
(b) As used herein, the term "Fair Market Value" shall mean the fair market
value of all of the partnership interests of Newco LP, meaning the best cash
price obtainable upon an auction of all the partnership interests in Newco LP,
in the form of a sale of such interests or a merger in which all of such
interests are converted into the right to receive cash at the closing of such
merger, conducted by a nationally recognized investment banking firm with
substantial experience valuing telecommunications businesses, with the buyer
being an entity which is under no compulsion to buy and the sellers being under
no compulsion to sell, and with all parties having reasonable knowledge of all
relevant facts. The Fair Market Value shall be determined by one or more
Appraisers in accordance with clause (c) below or by agreement of the Flipper
Sisters and Newco LP.
(c) As used herein, the term "Appraiser" shall mean an appraiser having
experience valuing telecommunications businesses selected as follows. Upon
delivery of the Appraisal Notice, the Flipper Sisters and Newco LP shall attempt
to agree upon a mutually acceptable Appraiser. If, within 10 days of the date of
the date of delivery of the Appraisal Notice, the Flipper Sisters and Newco LP
agree upon an appraiser to determine the Fair Market Value of Newco LP, then
such appraiser shall be the Appraiser and shall make such determination of Fair
Market Value within 60 days of the date of such person's engagement, and such
determination shall govern. If the Flipper Sisters and Newco LP do not, within
such 10 day period, agree as to a single Appraiser, or if the Appraiser
appointed as provided above fails to determine such fair market value within
sixty days of the date of such person's engagement, then each of the Flipper
Sisters and Newco LP, by notice to the other, shall appoint one Appraiser. If
either the Flipper Sisters or Newco LP shall fail to appoint such an Appraiser
within 10 days after the lapse of such 10 or 60 day period, as applicable, then
the Appraiser appointed by the party that does so appoint an Appraiser shall
make the determination of such Fair Market Value and such determination shall
govern. If two Appraisers are appointed pursuant to the fourth sentence of this
paragraph (c) and they agree upon such Fair Market Value, their joint
determination shall govern. If said two Appraisers fail to reach an agreement
within 30 days after the appointment of the last Appraiser to be appointed, the
two Appraisers selected shall within 10 days following the end of such 30 day
period, select a third Appraiser and each of the three Appraisers shall make an
appraisal as to the Fair Market Value within 30 days of the date of such third
Appraiser's appointment. In the event three Appraisers are appointed as
aforesaid, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be an amount derived by
averaging the two appraised values that are closest to one another. All
decisions of the Appraiser(s) shall be rendered in writing and shall be signed
by the Appraiser(s). The Fair Market Value determined as herein provided shall
be conclusive, final and binding on the parties. The cost of the Fair Market
Value determination (and the other costs of the Flipper Sisters in connection
with the process contemplated by this Section 7) shall be borne by Newco LP,
provided that if the Fair Market Value determination contemplated by this
Section 7 is completed once but does not result in a disposition of the
interests sought to be sold by the Flipper Sisters, the Flipper Sisters shall
bear the costs associated with any subsequent determination of Fair Market Value
(and related expenses of the Flipper Sisters incurred in connection with the
transaction contemplated by this Section 7) if such subsequent process does not
result in a disposition.
(d) If, following the determination of Fair Market Value of Newco LP in
accordance with the foregoing, the Flipper Sisters desire to sell the Units and
shares of Newco GP stock held by them (collectively, "Newco Securities"), they
shall notify TMI, Parent and the Lead Note Investor of such determination in
writing, and TMI, Parent and the Lead Note Investor shall have the right, by
written notice delivered to the Flipper Sisters within 20 days of receipt of
such notice from the Flipper Sisters, to purchase (or designate a third party
purchaser for), on a pro rata basis determined by reference to their respective
ownership of Newco LP equity interests on an as converted basis all but not less
than all the Newco Securities held by the Flipper Sisters (or, if any of such
Flipper Sisters so elects, all shares of capital stock of such Flipper Sister)
for cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value multiplied by a fraction
the numerator of which is the number of Units held by the Flipper Sisters and
the denominator of which is the total number of outstanding Units. If any of
TMI, Parent Sub or the Lead Note Investor elect not to exercise their purchase
right to the Newco Securities in full, the opportunity to purchase any Newco
Securities thus left unpurchased shall thereafter be re-allocated among those of
TMI, Parent Sub and the Lead Note Investor who elect to exercise on a pro rata
basis, determined by reference to their respective ownership interests of Newco
LP equity interests on an as converted basis. In the event that the Lead Note
Investor elects not to exercise its purchase right in full, TMI Sub and Parent
Sub shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase (or to designate a
third party to purchase for) any Newco Securities thus left unpurchased by the
Lead Note Investor on a pro rata basis, determined by reference to their
respective ownership interests of Newco LP equity interests. The closing of such
sale shall occur as soon as practicable but in no event more than 60 days after
delivery of such notice of purchase. In connection with such sale the
transferors shall not be required to make any representations or warranties
other than (i) they have good title to the securities being transferred (ii)
they have all necessary authority to effect such transfer and (iii) such
securities are being transferred free and clear of all liens and encumbrances
other than liens securing indebtedness of Newco LP and/or Newco GP and
encumbrances arising under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.
(e) If, following the determination of Fair Market Value of Newco LP in
accordance with the foregoing, the Flipper Sisters desire to sell the Units held
by them but neither TMI nor Parent nor the Lead Note Investor elects to proceed
as contemplated by clause (d) (or if one or both do elect to so proceed but the
closing does not occur within the time period specified in clause (d)), the
Flipper Sisters shall have the right to cause Newco LP and Newco GP (or, if the
Flipper Sisters so elect, all ownership interests in Newco GP and all ownership
interests in the Investors and in each entity that holds an ownership interest
in Newco LP) to be disposed of, whether by sale, merger or otherwise, in a
transaction or series of related transactions (collectively, a "Sale"). The Sale
shall be on the same terms as would be obtained by applying Section 8.5(b) of
the Newco GP Agreement, except the parties to such Sale may be required to
provide different representations, warranties and covenants to the buyer to the
extent reasonably required to reflect the differences in the nature of the
interests being transferred (i.e., a transfer of the differing equity interests
of the entities owning the ownership interests in Newco LP). Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Sale provided in this Section 7(e) shall
provide each of the Existing Investors, Parent, TMI and the Lead Note Investor
(as if the Lead Note Investor had converted all of its Convertible Notes into
Newco LP equity interests immediately prior to such sale) with the same
percentage of the consideration to be received from the buyer as would be
obtained by applying Section 8.5(b) of the Newco GP Agreement (i.e., as if the
buyer had acquired all of the ownership interests in Newco directly, and the
proceeds of such acquisition were distributed by each Investor, Parent Sub and
TMI Sub to each Investor Parent, Parent and TMI, respectively); provided,
however, that if any of the Investors, Parent Sub or TMI Sub has any
liabilities, then such liabilities shall be taken into account and reduce the
consideration to be received by the owners of such entity. Without limiting the
foregoing, the parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the most likely
method of structuring a Sale is through the transfer of the ownership interests
in the various entities that hold interests in Newco by sale, merger or
otherwise and that such a transaction may be fully taxable to a party while
being treated as a tax-free reorganization by others or may otherwise involve
tax consequences that are different for, and potentially adverse to, a party
compared to the other parties to this Agreement. If the Flipper Sisters do not
wish to control the Sale process, then Newco GP, Newco LP and all other parties
shall take all actions reasonably specified by the Flipper Sisters to facilitate
and effect a Sale. In either case, Newco GP, Newco LP, each partner of Newco LP
and each of their respective officers, directors and stockholders shall have a
fiduciary duty to cooperate fully with such process and to take all steps
reasonably requested by the Flipper Sisters to facilitate such Sale at the best
price available under the circumstances, taking into account all relevant
considerations, one of the most important of which is hereby agreed to be the
need to provide liquidity to the owners of the Investors promptly even if market
conditions at the time may not be favorable. In no event, however, shall the
Flipper Sisters cause Newco LP to be sold at a price of less than 80% of Fair
Market Value unless the Flipper Sisters shall have made the offer contemplated
by clause (f) below and such offer shall have been rejected or the offer is
accepted but then the sale is not consummated. No partner of Newco LP or any
affiliate of any such partner shall be permitted to be, or participate, directly
or indirectly, as, a buyer or financing source in connection with such Sale
unless (A) such affiliate is not a Control Party (as such term is defined in the
Newco GP Agreement) of such partner, (B) such partner has fully disclosed to
Newco LP and all of the other partners of Newco LP the role that such partner
and/or its affiliate shall have in the Sale and (C) the consent by such partner
to the Sale is not required to have the consent of the Flipper Sisters to such
Sale.
(f) Prior to causing Newco LP to be sold for a price less than 80% of Fair
Market Value, the Flipper Sisters shall make a written offer (the "Offer") to
sell the Interests then held by them to the other parties hereto at a price to
be specified by the Flipper Sisters. If such Offer is accepted by written notice
to the Flipper Sisters within five business days of the date of receipt of the
Offer, then such Units shall be sold to such parties at the price specified at a
closing to be held within 30 days of such acceptance. If such Offer is not
accepted within such 5 business day period, or if such Offer is so accepted but
the closing does not occur within such 30 day period, the Flipper Sisters shall
be free to cause a sale of Newco LP to occur at a price not lower than 90% of
the price specified in the Offer and on terms not less favorable, on the whole,
than those specified in the offer. If the Flipper Sisters desire to cause a sale
of Newco LP at a price lower than 90% of the price specified in the Offer, then
prior to such sale the Flipper Sisters shall be required again to comply with
the procedures in this Section 7(f).
(g) For the purposes of Clauses (e) and (f) above, the "price" involved in
a transaction or proposed transaction shall be determined by reference to the
present fair market value of the consideration to be received in such
transaction, taking into account all relevant considerations.

Effect on Newco LP, and no event (including, without limitation, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) which, with
notice or lapse of time or both, would (A) constitute a breach, violation or
default by Newco LP (or, to the best knowledge of Newco LP, any other party)
under any such Contract except where such breach, violation or default would

Agreement, or by Newco LP in connection with the execution, delivery and

is: (i) a "public utility company" or a "holding company," or an "affiliate" or
a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company," or an "affiliate" of a " public

thereof or an "affiliated person" of any such "affiliated person," as such terms
are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
8.20. FCC.
------------
(a) Section 8.20(a) of the Newco LP Disclosure Schedule contains a true and
complete list of all material Licenses, including the frequencies authorized for
and the issuance and expiration dates of each such License, issued to Newco LP
or Newco Sub by the FCC in connection with the operation of the Existing Sub
Business. No such License is subject to any restriction or condition which would
limit in any material respect the full operation of the Existing Sub Business as
now operated, and no proceeding, inquiry, investigation or other administrative
action is pending or, to Newco LP's knowledge, threatened by or before the FCC
that would reasonably be expected to result in the revocation of any material
FCC authorization or otherwise impair in any material respect the full operation
of the Existing Sub Business. The representations contained in this Section 8.20
are limited by the statements set forth in the section of Parent's most recent
Regulatory Disclosure. The statements contained in the Regulatory Disclosure
fully and accurately describe, with respect to the Existing Sub Business, the
material legal matters and proceedings arising under the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, and the published rules, regulations, and policies promulgated
thereunder by the FCC.
(b) Section 8.20(b) of the Newco LP Disclosure Schedule contains a true and
complete list of all material Applications, and including the frequencies
applied for and the filing date of each such Application, that have been filed
by Parent or Sub or Newco LP or Newco Sub with the FCC relating to the Existing
Sub Business. Neither Newco LP nor Newco Sub is aware of any reason why any
Application would not granted by the FCC. Newco LP have delivered to Investor
true and complete copies of the Licenses and Applications, including any
additions, amendments and other modifications thereto.
(c) Newco Sub is the authorized legal holder of all the Licenses, other
than Licenses held by Canadian License Co. The Licenses are in good standing,
are in full force and effect, and are unimpaired by any act or omission of
Parent, Sub or Newco LP, or any of their officers, directors, or employees; and
the operation of the business of Newco LP and Newco Sub is in full compliance
with the Licenses. These Licenses are sufficient for the lawful conduct of the
business and operation of the Existing Sub Business in the manner and to the
full extent they are currently conducted. All material reports, forms, and
statements required to be filed with the FCC with respect to the Existing Sub
Business have been filed and are complete and accurate in all material respects.
(d) Canadian License Co. is the authorized legal holder of the Canadian
License Co. Licenses. The Canadian License Co. Licenses are in good standing,
are in full force and effect, and are unimpaired by any act or omission of TMI,
Canadian License Co., or any of the officers, directors, or employees of either
TMI or Canadian License Co.; and the operation of the Canadian License Co.
business is in full compliance with the Canadian License Co. Licenses. The
Canadian License Co. Licenses are sufficient for the lawful conduct of the
business and operation of Canadian License Co. All material reports, forms, and
statements required to be filed with Industry Canada and the CRTC with respect
to the Canadian License Co. business have been filed and are complete and
accurate in all material respects.
(e) In 1999, Sub had access to the spectrum assigned to Sub in the 1999
coordination agreement among the North American L-band operators. Newco believes
that Newco Sub should continue to have access for the year in which the Second
Closing occurs to as much of this spectrum as Newco Sub is able to use.
8.21. Restrictions. Other than Newco LP's obligations under the TMI Note, the
MSI Note and the Convertible Notes, Newco LP is not and will not be a party to
any loan agreement or other financing document giving rise to any obligations,
restrictions, limitations or Encumbrances with respect to Newco LP or its
assets. During any period when Parent shall own an interest in Newco LP of 50%
or greater, the only contractual obligations of Parent relating to Newco LP
(other than those contained in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements)
shall be the provisions of Parent's existing Loan Agreements. Following
consummation of the First Closing and assuming that Parent shall then own less
than a 50% Interest in Newco LP, such requirements shall cease to be applicable,
other than Parent's pledge of all of its Limited Partnership Interests in Newco
LP to its banks and guarantors.
8.22. Environmental Matters. There are, with respect to Newco LP, no past or
present violations of Environmental Law (as defined below), nor any actions,
activities, circumstances, conditions, events, incidents, or contractual
obligations which are reasonably likely to give rise to any liability which
would have a Material Adverse Effect on Newco LP pursuant to any Environmental
Law, and neither Parent nor Newco LP has received any written notice with
respect to any of the foregoing nor is any Litigation pending or, to the
knowledge of Parent and Newco LP, threatened in connection with any of the
foregoing.
(a) For purposes of this Section 8.22, capitalized terms used herein shall
have the following meanings:

federal, state, local or foreign law (including applicable principles of
common and civil law), statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, published

licenses, judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees and orders enacted,
promulgated or issued by any Public Authority, and all indemnity agreements
and other contractual obligations, as in effect at such date, relating to
(i) the protection of the environment, including the air, surface and
subsurface soils, surface waters, groundwaters and natural resources, and
(ii) occupational health and safety and exposure of persons to Hazardous
Materials. Environmental Laws shall include the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. ▇▇.▇▇. 9601 et seq.,
and any other laws imposing or creating liability with respect to Hazardous
Materials.

Environmental Law.
(iii) "Public Authority" shall mean any supranational, national,
regional, state or local government court, governmental agency, authority,
board, bureau, instrumentality or regulatory body.
8.23. Proprietary Rights. Except for matters which would not, in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect on Newco LP, (i) Newco LP is the sole owner, free
and clear of any Encumbrance, of, or has a valid license, without the payment of
any royalty except with respect to off-the-shelf software and otherwise on
commercially reasonable terms, to, all U.S. and foreign trademarks, service
marks, logos, designs, trade names, internet domain names and corporate names,
and the goodwill of the business connected therewith and symbolized thereby,
patents, registered designs, copyrights, computer software and databases,
whether or not registered, web sites and web pages and related items (and all
intellectual property and proprietary rights incorporated therein) and all other
trade secrets, research and development, formulae, know-how, proprietary and
intellectual property rights and information, including all grants,
registrations and applications relating thereto (collectively, the "Proprietary
Rights") described in Section 8.23 of the Newco LP Disclosure Schedule, (such
Proprietary Rights owned by or licensed to Newco LP, collectively, the "Newco
Rights"); (ii) Newco LP has taken, and will take, all actions which are
necessary or advisable in order to protect the Newco Rights, and to acquire
Proprietary Rights, consistent with prudent commercial practices in the
telecommunications industry; (iii) Newco LP's rights in the Newco Rights are
valid and enforceable; (iv) neither Parent nor Newco LP has received any demand,
claim, notice or inquiry from any person or entity in respect of the Newco
Rights which challenges, threatens to challenge or inquires as to whether there
is any basis to challenge, the validity of, or the rights of Newco LP in, any
such Newco Rights, and neither Parent nor Newco LP knows of any basis for any
such challenge; (v) Newco LP is not in violation or infringement of, and has not
violated or infringed, any Proprietary Rights of any other person or entity;
(vi) to the knowledge of Parent and Newco LP, no person or entity is infringing
any Newco Rights; and (vii) except on an arm's-length basis for value and other
commercially reasonable terms, Newco LP has not granted any license with respect
to any Newco Rights to any person or entity.
8.24. Disclosure. Neither this Agreement nor any Ancillary Agreement (nor any
certificate or instrument executed in connection with this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement) furnished or made to the Investors by or on behalf of Newco
LP omits to state a material fact required to be stated herein or therein or
necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
SECTION 9. Sole Economics.
--------------------------------
The parties acknowledge and agree that the economic interests of the
parties in the joint business contemplated hereby and by the Newco LP Agreement
and the Asset Sale Agreements are intended to be in the proportions set forth in
the Newco LP Agreement, and that to the extent any party (or any of its
affiliates) derives any economic benefit, or incurs any economic detriment, from
the ownership or operation of any of the Related Entities, the parties will make
equitable arrangements for the sharing of such benefit or detriment as shall
reflect, as closely as practicable, the proportional ownership in Newco LP set
forth from time to time in the Newco LP Agreement.
SECTION 10. Certain Other Covenants.
-----------------------------------------
10.1. Notification of Certain Matters. Each party shall notify each other party
in writing of its discovery of any matter that would render any of such party's
representations and warranties contained herein untrue or incorrect in any
material respect.
10.2. ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Filing. The parties shall make any appropriate filings
of Notification and Report Forms pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby in a timely manner (i.e., sufficiently in
advance of the anticipated closings so as to be not likely to result in a delay
of the closings) and supply as promptly as practicable any additional
information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR
Act and take all other actions reasonably necessary to cause the expiration or
termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon as
practicable.
10.3. Certain Additional Covenants.
-------------------------------------
(a) Parent shall cause Parent Sub, Sub and Newco LLC to promptly perform,
and Parent hereby unconditionally guarantees the prompt performance by Newco
LLC, Sub, and Parent Sub of, their respective obligations under this Agreement
and the Ancillary Agreements, including, without limitation, the obligations of
Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Ancillary Agreements.
(b) Until after the First Closing, Parent shall not, and shall not permit
any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries to, engage in any transaction which
would have the effect of transferring ultimate control of Sub to any person or
entity not controlled by Parent, or of divesting Parent of ultimate control of
Sub, without the consent of the Lead Note Investor, TMI and a majority in
interest of the Existing Investors, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld if (i) in connection with a bona fide disposition of assets in which
the stock or assets of Sub constitute less than 50% in terms of value, ultimate
control of Sub is transferred to a person or entity which shall have agreed in
writing to be bound by the provisions hereof applicable to Parent, (ii) such
transaction shall not materially interfere with or impede the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or the Ancillary Agreements,
and (iii) Parent shall expressly acknowledge in writing that it shall remain
fully liable in respect of all liabilities and obligations (including indemnity
obligations) undertaken by it under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements
even if such liabilities or obligations arise from actions taken (or not taken)
by such transferee.
(c) Each party hereto shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to
satisfy at the appropriate times all closing conditions to the consummation of
the First Closing and the Second Closing, the Parent Conversions, and the other
transactions contemplated hereby and by the Ancillary Agreements. Without in any
way limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party shall use all
reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions specified herein as conditions
to the First Closing that are within such party's control to be satisfied by
October 31, 2001.
(d) From the date hereof until the First Closing, Parent shall not, permit
Newco LLC or Sub to become bound by any contract, undertaking or obligation that
would (i) prohibit, restrict, require any consent for, or give rise to any
obligation as a result of, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Ancillary
Agreements, other than standard anti-assignability clauses in ordinary course
agreements, provided that the inability to transfer such agreements to Newco LP
would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Newco LP; (ii) be considered out of
the ordinary course of business for Parent, Sub or Newco, including without
limitation non-preemptable service contracts, prepaid contracts and contracts
giving preferential access to spectrum or otherwise providing customers with a
preferred status; or (iii) obligate Parent, Sub or Newco to commit to provide
both a specified amount of satellite transmission power and a specified amount
of bandwidth, thereby depleting Parent's or, or Sub's available satellite-based
communications network power and bandwidth capacity.
(e) From the date hereof until the First Closing, without the prior written
consent of Parent, Newco, the Lead Investor and a majority in interest of the
Existing Investors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, TMI shall
not, and shall not permit TMI Sub to, become bound by any contract, undertaking
or obligation that would (i) prohibit, restrict, require any consent for, or
give rise to any obligation as a result of, the transactions contemplated hereby
or the Ancillary Agreements, other than standard anti-assignability clauses in
ordinary course agreements, provided that the inability to transfer such
agreements to Newco LP would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Newco LP;
(ii) be considered out of the ordinary course of business for TMI and TMI Sub
(if TMI or TMI Sub had entered into such contract or obligation), including
without limitation non-preemptable service contracts, prepaid contracts and
contracts giving preferential access to spectrum or otherwise providing
customers with a preferred status; or (iii) obligate TMI to commit to provide
both a specified amount of satellite transmission power and a specified amount
of bandwidth, thereby depleting TMI's available satellite-based communications
network power and bandwidth capacity; provided, however, that TMI is permitted
after the date hereof to (A) enter into an agreement with Telecom Mexico
substantially in the form of the proposal dated September 21, 2000 as
resubmitted by letter dated November 15, 2000 from TMI to Telecommunicaciones de
Mexico, and (B) enter into service provider contracts that require a prepayment
by the customer provided such contracts are entered into in the ordinary course
of TMI's business consistent with past practice and do not involve any
affiliates of TMI. At the First Closing, TMI's remaining obligations under any
contract of the types contemplated by clauses (A) and (B) of the preceding
sentence shall be assigned to Newco (or, if appropriate, Canadian License Co.)
along with an amount of cash corresponding to the amount of any prepayment
relating to such remaining obligations.
(f) Investment Company Act. Until after the Second Closing, Parent will not
become an "investment company" or an "affiliated person" thereof or an
"affiliated person" of any such "affiliated person," as such terms are defined
in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
10.4. Transactions with Affiliates. Except as set forth herein or in the
Ancillary Agreements, Newco will not, prior to or in connection with the First
Closing, engage in any transaction or group of related transactions (including,
without limitation, the purchase, lease, sale or exchange of properties of any
kind or the rendering of any service) with any affiliate, except in the ordinary
course of business and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of Newco's
business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to Newco than
would be obtainable in a comparable arm's-length transaction with a person not
an affiliate. As used herein, the term "affiliate" shall mean any officer,
director, 10% or greater stockholder, or any family member of any such person,
or any business entity controlled by any such person; without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Parent and each of its subsidiaries and affiliates
shall be deemed to be affiliates of Newco.
10.5. Reservation of Common Stock. From and after the Second Closing Date,
Parent shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
shares of common stock, solely for the purpose of issue or delivery upon the
consummation of the Parent Conversions, the maximum number of shares of Parent
Common Stock that may be issuable or deliverable in connection therewith. Such
shares of Parent Common Stock are or will be duly authorized and, when issued or
delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 hereof, shall be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
10.6. Use of Proceeds. The amount received by Newco LP at the First Closing
shall be used as follows: (a) US$45,000,000 shall be paid to Sub pursuant to the
Amended and Restated Sub Asset Sale Agreement, (b) US$7,500,000 shall be paid to
TMI pursuant to the TMI Asset Sale Agreements and (c) the remaining US$2,500,000

flows for the fiscal year then ended, prepared in accordance with GAAP and
certified by a firm of independent public accountants selected by the Board of
Directors of Newco; and
(b) within 45 days after the end of each fiscal month of Newco, an
unaudited balance sheet of Newco as of the end of such fiscal month and the
related unaudited statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows
for the fiscal month then ended, prepared in accordance with GAAP, except for
the absence of notes thereto and subject to normal recurring year end
adjustments which will not be material in nature or amount, and certified by the
chief financial officer of Newco (the most recent of which shall be referred to
herein as the "Newco Financial Statements").
10.8. FCC Application; Next-Gen Satellite.
--------------------------------------------
(a) Without the consent of TMI, Parent, the Lead Note Investor and a
majority in interest of the Existing Investors, which consent shall not be
withheld unreasonably, neither the FCC Applications nor the Industry Canada
Application shall be amended in any material respect.
(b) From and after the First Closing, Newco and Canadian License Co. will,
at their own expense, use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such
licenses, consents, authorizations and approvals of the FCC and Industry Canada
as are necessary for Newco LP and Canadian License Co. or their respective
successors to develop a next-generation mobile satellite system substantially in
accordance with the FCC Applications and Industry Canada Application. Newco and
Canadian License Co. will use all commercially reasonable efforts to develop a
next-generation mobile satellite system for Newco and Canadian License Co. in
accordance with such licenses, consents, authorizations and approvals as are
granted by the FCC and Industry Canada pursuant to such Applications.
(c) The parties agree not to interfere with the granting to Newco, Canadian
License Co. or their respective successors, of the licenses, consents,
authorizations and approvals contemplated by the FCC Applications and Industry
Canada Application, and not to attempt to take away or otherwise deprive Newco
or Canadian License Co., or their respective successors, of any licenses,
consents, authorizations and approvals which are granted to them pursuant to the
FCC Applications and Industry Canada Application.
10.9. Operations Plan. The parties agree to proceed in accordance with this
Section 10.9, except as otherwise determined by a vote of the Limited Partners
of Newco and the Note Investors (as if the Note Investors had converted all of
their Convertible Notes into equity interests of Newco LP) holding at least
eighty percent (80%) of the Percentage Interests held by all Newco LP limited
partners and the Note Investors (as if the Note Investors had converted all of
their Convertible Notes into equity interests of Newco LP), from the date of
First Closing until the earlier of the Second Closing Date or September 30,
2002:
(a) The parties agree that Newco shall adopt the Operations Plan attached
hereto as Exhibit R (the "Operations Plan");
(b) The parties agree that Newco will implement the combination of TMI and
Sub operations (location, platform, services, employees) as contemplated in the
Operations Plan;
(c) Subject to paragraph (b) above, Newco will have the right to modify its
operations on an ongoing basis provided that such modification does not cause
Newco to go from being cash positive during any calendar quarter to cash
negative during such calendar quarter or any quarter thereafter; and
(d) Newco shall promote and support the marketing and sale of TMI's packet
data and TAMS services provided that such services are profitable and cash
positive or reasonably expected to be profitable and cash positive. Subject to
the immediately preceding sentence, Newco will use all commercially reasonable
efforts to avoid liability under Section 3.8(c) under the Amended and Restated
Sub Asset Sale Agreement.
10.10. Non-compete; Non-solicitation; Exclusivity as to L-Band.
----------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Without the express prior written consent of Newco LP and the Lead Note
Investor, neither (i) Parent nor any subsidiary of Parent nor (ii) TMI nor any
subsidiary of TMI shall, at any time during the two-year period immediately
following the First Closing, directly or indirectly, own, manage, control or
participate in the ownership, management or control of, any entity that directly
competes with the Existing Sub Business or the Existing TMI Business, in each
case, as such businesses were conducted immediately prior to the First Closing;
and provided, further, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Parent or TMI from
owning as a passive investment 5% or less of the outstanding equity of any
publicly-traded entity.
(b) Parent and TMI agree that they and their respective subsidiaries shall
not, for a period of one year after the First Closing, actively solicit or
attempt to solicit, without the express written consent of Newco LP, any key
employee of Newco LP or any subsidiary of Newco LP. Newco LP agrees that it and
its respective subsidiaries shall not, for a period of one year after the First
Closing, actively solicit or attempt to solicit, without the express written
consent of the affected party, any key employee of TMI or Parent or any of their
respective subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this prohibition on
solicitation does not apply to actions taken by a party either: (a) as a result
of an employee's affirmative response to a general recruitment effort carried
out through a public solicitation or general solicitation, or (b) as a result of
an employee's initiative. For purposes of this paragraph, key employees include
supervisory personnel, executives, personnel in charge of any department,
section or subdivision of the company and project, contract managers (or
directors), and senior personnel and technical specialists on any individual
project or projects.
(c) Parent, Sub, Newco and TMI agree that they will take all actions
necessary or desirable (i) for Newco Sub to remain the only entity licensed by
the FCC to operate one or more Mobile Satellite Service satellites in the L-band
(i.e., 1525-1559/1626.5-1660.5 MHz) and (ii) for no L-band earth stations to be
licensed by the FCC to operate in the United States in connection with any
non-U.S. licensed L-band satellites; and (iii) to maximize the scope of those
licenses (including the spectrum coordinated with respect thereto).
10.11. Survival of Representations, Warranties, Agreements and Covenants;
Indemnifications.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Survival. All representations and warranties made in or pursuant to
this Agreement and in or pursuant to the Ancillary Agreements shall survive
until two years after the date made (except that the representations and
warranties made in Sections 4.8(b)(i) and 8.8(b)(i) shall survive until the
expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to any claims that may be
made by the holders of the Series A and Series B 12 1/4% Senior Notes due 2008
issued by Holdings). A party's rights to pursue claims for breaches of
representations and warranties shall in no way be affected by any investigation
or knowledge of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of any party
hereto, except as set forth in clause (j) below.
(b) Indemnification by Parent. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless
each Investor and (without duplication of remedies) Newco from and against all
damages, losses, claims, liabilities and obligations, costs and expenses
(including attorneys' fees) ("Losses") arising in any way out of or related to
(i) the breach by Parent, Newco, Motient Communications, Sub or Parent Sub of
any representation or warranty made to the Investors by Parent, Newco LLC,
Newco, Motient Communications, Sub or Parent Sub herein or in any Ancillary
Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, or (ii) the
breach by Parent, Newco, Motient Communications, Sub, or Parent Sub of any
covenant or agreement contained herein or in any Ancillary Agreement or in any
document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto. Parent shall indemnify and hold
harmless TMI from and against all Losses arising in any way out of or related to
(i) the breach by Parent, Sub or Parent Sub of any representation or warranty
made to TMI by Parent, Sub or Parent Sub herein or in any Ancillary Agreement or
in any document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, or (ii) the breach by
Parent, Sub, or Parent Sub of any covenant or agreement contained herein or in
any Ancillary Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto.
For purposes of this Section 10.11(b), and 10.11(f) below, the terms "material"
and "Material Adverse Effect", and other materiality qualifiers in the
representations and warranties contained herein or in the Ancillary Agreements
and in any documents delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to
refer to matters, and groups of related matters, that have a financial or
economic impact, or are capable of having a financial or economic impact, of
US$100,000 or more. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, matters shall be
considered to be within "groups of related matters" if they relate to any given
Section of the representations and warranties. (For purposes of illustration
only, Section 4.6 would be deemed to be breached if Parent had failed to
disclose a liability of US$25,000 and a liability of US$90,000, but not if
Parent had failed to disclose seven liabilities of US$10,000 each.).
(c) Indemnification by Newco. Newco shall indemnify and hold harmless TMI
and each Investor from and against all Losses arising in any way out of or
related to (i) the breach by Newco of any representation or warranty made by
Newco herein or in any Ancillary Agreement or document delivered pursuant hereto
or thereto, or (ii) the breach by Newco of any covenant or agreement contained
herein or in any Ancillary Agreement or document delivered pursuant hereto or
thereto.
(d) No Duplication of Remedies. To the extent any party may have more than
one remedy for any Losses incurred by it, it may pursue all available remedies
but in no event shall be entitled to collect and retain any amount hereunder in
excess of its Losses.
(e) Indemnification by Investors. Each Investor shall indemnify and hold
harmless the other parties hereto from and against all Losses arising in any way
out of or related to (i) the breach by such Investor of any representation or
warranty made by such Investor herein or in any Ancillary Agreement or in any
document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, or (ii) the breach by such
Investor of any covenant or agreement contained herein or in any Ancillary
Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto.
(f) Indemnification by TMI. TMI shall indemnify and hold harmless the other
parties hereto from and against all Losses arising in any way out of or related
to (i) the breach by TMI or TMI Sub of any representation or warranty made by
such party herein or in any Ancillary Agreement or in any document delivered
pursuant hereto or thereto or (ii) the breach by TMI or TMI Sub of any covenant
or agreement contained herein or in any Ancillary Agreement or in any document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto.
(g) Notice of Claims. All claims for indemnification hereunder shall be
resolved in accordance with the following procedures:
(i) If the party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") has
incurred or reasonably believes that it may incur any Losses, it shall
deliver promptly written notice to the indemnifying party (the
"Indemnifying Party"), setting forth the nature and amount of the Losses or
potential Losses, if possible, and further referencing the sections of this
Agreement or in any other document delivered pursuant hereto upon which the
claim for indemnification for such Losses is based (a "Claim Notice"). If
an Indemnified Party receives notice of a third-party claim for which it
intends to seek indemnification hereunder, it shall give the Indemnifying
Party written notice of such claim, so that the Indemnifying Party's
defense of such claim under this Agreement may be timely instituted. The
failure by an Indemnified Party to provide such written notice shall not
constitute a waiver of the Indemnified Party's right to indemnity unless
such failure has prejudiced the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such
claim, and then only to the extent of such prejudice.
(ii) If, after receiving a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party
desires to dispute such claim or the amount claimed in the Claim Notice, it
shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written objection to such claim or
payment setting forth the basis for disputing such claim or payment. Such
notice shall be delivered within thirty (30) days after the date the Claim
Notice to which it relates is received by the Indemnifying Party. If no
such notice is received within the aforementioned 30-day period, the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to payment for such Losses from the
Indemnifying Party within ten (10) days of the end of such 30-day objection
period.
(iii) If the Indemnifying Party shall agree that it is responsible for
all amounts that may be recovered in connection with a third-party claim,
action or suit (including waiving any deductible or limit that might
otherwise apply under this Section 10.11) the Indemnifying Party shall have
the right to conduct and control through counsel of its own choosing, which
counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any
third-party claim, action or suit; provided, that the Indemnifying Party
(x) demonstrates to the Indemnified Party's reasonable satisfaction that it
has the financial ability to mount an appropriate defense of such claim and

be entitled at any time, at its own cost and expense (except that such cost
and expense shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnified
Party reasonably determines that the Indemnifying Party is not adequately
representing or, because of a conflict of interest, may not adequately
represent the interests of the Indemnified Party) to participate in such
defense and to be represented by attorneys of its choosing. Except with the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party no Indemnifying Party, in
the defense of such claim or litigation, shall consent to entry of any
judgment or order, interim or otherwise, or enter into any settlement that

release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation.

against any third-party claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against
such claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate and the Indemnifying
Party shall be liable for any legal expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with such defense; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party
shall not, without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle or consent to the entry of
judgment with respect to such third-party claim.
(v) In the event of any claim by a third party, the parties hereto
agree that they will cooperate fully with each other in connection with the
defense or settlement of such matter.

pay any amounts for indemnification under this Section 10.11 with respect to

obligation of such Indemnifying Party hereunder exceeds US$500,000, whereupon
the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all amounts for which indemnification
may be sought which exceed US$500,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no
event shall the aggregate liability of (v) Parent and Newco to the Second
Closing Investors exceed (i) US$100,000,000 (less any amount theretofore paid by

Investors further agree that any sums paid by Parent and/or Newco to the
Existing Investors pursuant to this Section 10.11 shall reduce the amount of the
cap on Parent's and Newco's liability contained in the second sentence of

be the exclusive remedy for any breach of representations and warranties or of
any covenant or agreement in this Agreement by any party or any other matter
pertaining to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, other than

relating to fraud or violation of securities laws; provided that nothing in this
Section 10.11 shall prevent any party from obtaining equitable relief in order
to require another party to perform its obligations hereunder.
(l) Claims Relating to Section 6.10. No claim may be asserted against TMI
hereunder with respect to Section 6.10 hereof except to the extent of any claims
asserted against Newco (or losses suffered by Newco) arising out of or relating

Investor's right to vote or transfer its Investor Interest in its sole
discretion or to otherwise exercise its rights or receive the benefits of

Existing Investor hereby irrevocably delegates the power and authority relating

America, in each case having jurisdiction over the County of New York, for any

receive confidential and proprietary information concerning the assets, business
plans, intellectual property rights and operations of Newco and the Related

Information is a valuable asset of Newco or its owner, as the case may be and
its public disclosure or use outside of Newco's activities without the prior
consent of Newco would cause substantial harm to Newco. Therefore, each party
agrees to treat all Confidential Information received by it with the amount of
care that a reasonable business person would use to protect its own valuable and
proprietary confidential information and shall not disclose any Confidential
Information to any Person who does not have a contractual obligation with Newco
to keep such Confidential Information confidential or does not have the right to
have such Confidential Information disclosed to it under an agreement with
Newco. In addition, each party shall not personally, and shall not permit other
Persons (including its Affiliates) to utilize Confidential information for any
purpose other than for the benefit of Newco.

Information to its affiliates, professional advisors, lenders and investors if

of Newco and the other parties hereto to be responsible for any breach by any
such Person.

information (i) that has become generally available to the public through no
fault of the receiving Person, (ii) to the minimum extent necessary in order to
comply with any law, order, regulation, ruling or other governmental request
pursuant to subpoena or government order, provided that in the event a receiving
person is subject to such a subpoena or order, it shall notify in writing Newco
of such event, and shall cooperate with any reasonable request or efforts by
Newco to take reasonable legally permissible actions to limit the scope of
disclosure required in order for such Person to comply with such subpoena or
order and (iii) as may be required or appropriate in response to any report,
statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or national (including
