Upon the Initial Closing, (x) SkyTerra shall be vested with good and valid title to the MSV Interests, free and clear of any Liens of any kind (other than Securities Law Encumbrances or the MSV Documents) and (y) neither Motient nor Sub shall own, of record or beneficially, or have, by conversion, warrant, option or otherwise, any right to, interest in or agreement to acquire any MSV LP Units or MSV GP Shares other than the Retained MSV Interests and its indirect ownership of MSV LP Units and MSV GP Shares due to its ownership of shares of common stock of Spectrum Space IV Managers, Inc., Spectrum Space IV Parallel, Inc., Spectrum Space Equity Investors IV, Inc., Columbia Space (QP), Inc., Columbia Space (AI), Inc. and Columbia Space Partners, Inc.

Upon consummation of the final Subsequent Closing, neither Motient nor Sub shall own, of record or beneficially, or have, by conversion, warrant, option or otherwise, any right to, interest in or agreement to acquire any MSV LP Units or MSV GP Shares.

Section 2.3 Authority Relative to this Agreement. Each of Motient and Sub has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Amended TerreStar Stockholders’ Agreement, as applicable, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Amended TerreStar Stockholders’ Agreement by Motient and Sub, as applicable, and the consummation by Motient and Sub of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by Motient’s and Sub’s respective board of directors, and no other corporate or stockholder proceedings on the part of Motient or Sub are necessary to authorize this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Amended TerreStar Stockholders’ Agreement, as applicable, or for Motient or Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. This Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Amended TerreStar Stockholders’ Agreement, have been duly and validly executed and delivered by Motient and Sub, as applicable, and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by SkyTerra, constitutes the valid and binding obligations of Motient and Sub, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms.

Section 2.4 Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Other than as set forth on Schedule 2.4 of Motient’s disclosure schedule, except in connection with or in order to comply with the applicable provisions of (a) the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”) and, if necessary, similar foreign competition or Antitrust Laws, (b) the filing of

Except in connection or in order to comply with the applicable provisions of (a) the HSR Act and, if necessary, similar foreign competition or Antitrust Laws, (b) the filing of the Distribution Registration Statement, the Preferred Registration Statement or pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, under the Securities Act, (c) filings or approvals required under state securities or “blue sky” laws, and (d) the Communications Laws, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any federal, state, local or foreign court, arbitral tribunal, administrative agency or commission or other governmental or other regulatory body, authority or administrative agency or commission (collectively, a “Governmental Entity”), is required by or with respect to Motient or Sub in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Motient or Sub or the consummation by Motient or Sub of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for such consents, authorizations, filings, approvals and registrations which, if not obtained or made, would not have a Motient Material Adverse Effect.

Section 2.5 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The SkyTerra Shares (and the shares of SkyTerra Common Stock into which such shares are exchangeable) to be issued to Motient will be (i) acquired for distribution by Motient in a dividend of shares of SkyTerra Common Stock to the Motient Common Stockholders pursuant to the Distribution Registration Statement, or (ii) acquired for investment for Motient’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, in each case, in violation of applicable securities laws, and Motient has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing such SkyTerra Shares except in compliance with applicable securities laws. The Additional SkyTerra Shares to be issued to Motient will be (A) acquired for distribution by Motient to the Motient Preferred Stockholders upon their conversion of Motient Preferred Stock into shares of Motient Common Stock pursuant to the Preferred Registration Statement, or (B) acquired for investment for Motient’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, in each case, in violation of applicable securities laws, and Motient has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing such Additional SkyTerra Shares except in compliance with applicable securities laws.

Section 2.6 Reliance Upon Motient’s Representations. Motient understands that the SkyTerra Shares issued to Motient in accordance with Section 2.5(ii) (but not those for distribution to the Motient Common Stockholders in accordance with Section 2.5(i)) (the “Restricted SkyTerra Shares”) and the Additional SkyTerra Shares issued to Motient in accordance with Section 2.5(B) (but not those for distribution to the Motient Preferred Stockholders in accordance with Section 2.5(A)) (the “Restricted Additional SkyTerra Shares”) will not be registered under the Securities Act and the sale provided for in this Agreement and SkyTerra’s issuance of the Restricted SkyTerra Shares and Restricted Additional SkyTerra Shares hereunder will be made in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that, in such case, SkyTerra’s reliance on such exemption will be based on Motient’s representations set forth herein.

Section 2.7 Receipt of Information. Motient believes it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Restricted SkyTerra Shares or the Restricted Additional SkyTerra Shares. Motient further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from SkyTerra regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Restricted SkyTerra Shares or the Restricted Additional SkyTerra Shares and the business and financial condition of SkyTerra and to obtain additional information (to the extent SkyTerra possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to it or to which it had access. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations or warranties of SkyTerra in this Agreement or the right of Motient and Sub to rely upon such representations or warranties. Neither Motient nor Sub has received, nor is either relying on, any representations or warranties from SkyTerra, other than as provided herein.

Section 2.8 Investor Status; etc. Motient certifies and represents to SkyTerra that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and was not organized for the purpose of acquiring the Restricted SkyTerra Shares or Restricted Additional SkyTerra Shares. Motient’s financial condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding the Restricted SkyTerra Shares or Restricted Additional SkyTerra Shares for an indefinite period of time and the risk of loss of its entire investment. Motient has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to SkyTerra so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in SkyTerra.

Section 2.9 Liens for Taxes. There are no Liens arising from or related to Taxes on or pending against the MSV Interests or the Retained MSV Interests other than Liens for Taxes that are not yet due and payable.

Section 2.10 Brokers or Finders. Except for fees which shall be borne solely by Motient, neither Motient nor Sub has incurred, nor will either of them incur, directly or indirectly, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or investment bankers’ fees or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 2.11 Restricted Securities. Motient understands that the Restricted SkyTerra Shares and the Restricted Additional SkyTerra Shares may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Restricted SkyTerra

Shares and Restricted Additional SkyTerra Shares or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Restricted SkyTerra Shares and Restricted Additional SkyTerra Shares, must be held indefinitely. In particular, Motient is aware that the Restricted SkyTerra Shares and Restricted Additional SkyTerra Shares may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act unless all of the conditions of the applicable rule are met. Among the conditions for use of Rules 144 and 145 is the availability of current information to the public about SkyTerra.

Section 2.12 Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Restricted SkyTerra Shares and the Restricted Additional SkyTerra Shares to be sold to Motient for resale will bear one or both of the following legends:

(a) “These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. They may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of a registration statement in effect with respect to the securities under such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to SkyTerra Communications, Inc. that such registration is not required.”

(b) Any legend required by the laws of the State of Delaware or other jurisdiction.

Section 2.13 Distribution Registration Statement and Preferred Registration Statement. Motient and Sub shall furnish all information concerning Motient or its affiliates as SkyTerra may reasonably request and is required under applicable law in connection with the preparation of the Distribution Registration Statement and the Preferred Registration Statement. None of the information to be supplied by Motient or Sub for inclusion in the Distribution Registration Statement or the Preferred Registration Statement will at the time such Distribution Registration Statement or the Preferred Registration Statement, as applicable, becomes effective and at the Initial Closing contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

The consolidated financial statements of SkyTerra included in the SkyTerra SEC Reports have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods indicated (except as otherwise noted therein or, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC) and fairly present (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, recurring year-end adjustments and any other adjustments described therein), in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of SkyTerra and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the dates thereof and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of SkyTerra and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods then ended.

Section 3.20 Receipt of Information. SkyTerra believes it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire MSV Interests and the Retained MSV Interests. SkyTerra further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Motient regarding the terms and conditions of the MSV Interests and the Retained MSV Interests and the business and financial condition of MSV and to obtain additional information (to the extent Motient possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to it or which it had access. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations or warranties of Motient and Sub in this Agreement or the right of SkyTerra to rely upon such representations or warranties.

SkyTerra’s financial condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding the MSV Interests and the Retained MSV Interests for an indefinite period of time and the risk of loss of its entire investment. SkyTerra has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to MSV so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in MSV.

Section 3.22 Restricted Securities. SkyTerra understands that the MSV Interests and the Retained MSV Interests may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the MSV Interests and the Retained MSV Interests or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, such MSV Interests and the Retained MSV Interests, must be held indefinitely. In particular, SkyTerra is aware that such MSV Interests and the Retained MSV Interests may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act unless all of the conditions of the applicable rule are met. Among the conditions for use of Rules 144 and 145 is the availability of current information to the public about MSV.

Section 3.23 Distribution Registration Statement and the Preferred Registration Statement. None of the information to be supplied by SkyTerra for inclusion in the Distribution Registration Statement or the Preferred Registration Statement will at the time such Distribution Registration Statement or the Preferred Registration Statement, as applicable, becomes effective and at the time of the Initial Closing contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading except that no representation is made by SkyTerra with respect to statements made therein based on information supplied by Motient or any of its subsidiaries or their representatives for inclusion in the Distribution Registration Statement or the Preferred Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.13. The Distribution Registration Statement and the Preferred Registration Statement will comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 3.24 Issuances Exempt. Assuming the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of Motient contained in Article II hereof, the offer, sale, and issuance of the Restricted SkyTerra Shares and the Restricted Additional SkyTerra Shares will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and will have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws, except as permitted pursuant to Section 4.2.

Section 3.25 No Integrated Offering. Neither SkyTerra, nor any of its Affiliates or any other person acting on SkyTerra’s behalf, has directly or indirectly engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising with respect to the Restricted SkyTerra Shares and the Restricted Additional SkyTerra Shares nor have any of such persons made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require registration of the Restricted SkyTerra Shares and Restricted Additional SkyTerra Shares under the Securities Act or cause this offering of the Restricted SkyTerra Shares and Restricted

Additional SkyTerra Shares to be integrated with any prior offering of securities of SkyTerra for purposes of the Securities Act.

ARTICLE IV

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 4.1 HSR Act and FCC Approval. The parties will promptly execute and file, or join in the execution and filing of, any application, notification (including any notification or provision of information, if any, that may be required under the HSR Act, which the parties shall file no later than 15 business days after the date hereof) or other document that may be necessary in order to obtain the authorization, approval or consent of any Governmental Entity, which may be reasonably required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Any fees associated with such notifications or applications shall be borne 50% by Motient and 50% by SkyTerra. Each party will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or assist the other parties in obtaining, all such authorizations, approvals and consents, including without limitation using commercially reasonable efforts to supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and to request the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon as practicable. Each party shall, in connection with its obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or assist the other parties in obtaining, all such requisite authorizations, approvals or consents, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cooperate in all reasonable respects with the other parties in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party, (ii) promptly inform the other parties of any communication received by such party from or given by such party to, the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the FCC or any other Governmental Entity or quasi-governmental entity and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) permit the other parties, or the other parties’ legal counsel, to review any communication given by it to, and consult with the other parties in advance of any meeting or conference with, the DOJ, the FTC, the FCC or any such other Governmental Entity or quasi-governmental entity or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other person and (iv) to the extent permitted by the FCC or other Governmental Entity, as appropriate, give the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences.

Section 4.2 Blue Sky Laws. SkyTerra shall exercise its commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify (or obtain an exemption from registration) the SkyTerra Shares and the Additional SkyTerra Shares under the blue sky laws of the 00 xxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and of the District of Columbia and such other jurisdictions as Motient shall reasonably request, such registration, qualification or exemption to be obtained prior to the issuance and delivery to Motient’s stockholders of the applicable shares in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that, in the case of non-U.S. jurisdictions, SkyTerra will not be required to (a) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4.2, (b) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (c) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction). SkyTerra shall

pay for all fees (including filing and application fees), costs and expenses in connection therewith. However, the failure to obtain such “blue sky” clearance in each such jurisdiction shall not be a condition to closing and shall not prevent a Closing from occurring; provided, that SkyTerra shall not fail to obtain such “blue sky” clearance in (i) more than five such jurisdictions, (ii) Texas or (iii) New York; rather, those SkyTerra Shares or Additional SkyTerra Shares which may not be lawfully delivered (assuming exchange pursuant to Section 4.7) shall be held in trust by Motient or its nominee for the benefit of the stockholders of record otherwise entitled thereto until such time as they may be lawfully delivered. If, after the fifth anniversary of the Closing, such shares still may not be lawfully delivered, then SkyTerra shall deliver such shares to the government agency or official responsible for administering the securities or blue sky laws in such jurisdiction. Motient shall cooperate with and assist SkyTerra in connection with obtaining the “blue sky” clearance contemplated by this Section 4.2.

Section 4.3 Compliance with MSV Documents. (a) The parties intend that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby be consistent with the conditions and restrictions applicable to the parties and/or their affiliates pursuant to MSV’s organizational documents and/or pursuant to the agreements between or among MSV’s limited partners or the stockholders of MSV GP, including, without limitation, the MSV Documents (collectively, the “MSV Investor Agreements”). SkyTerra, Sub and Motient shall take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to comply with, or appropriately amend, the provisions of the MSV Investor Agreements relating to the sale of the MSV Interests and the Retained MSV Interests pursuant hereto.

(b) Sub and SkyTerra shall each comply with the MSV ROFR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Transfer Notice (as defined in the MSV GP Stockholders Agreement) delivered by Sub pursuant to the MSV ROFR shall state that the minimum amount of MSV LP Units SkyTerra is willing to accept pursuant to this Agreement is the number of MSV LP Units to be exchanged in accordance with this Agreement. If another party to the MSV GP Stockholders Agreement exercises its right of first refusal pursuant to Section 8.2(a) thereof, Sub shall not be required to exchange its MSV Interests for the SkyTerra Shares pursuant to the terms hereof to the extent of such exercise, and its obligations hereunder shall be terminated with respect to the MSV Interests purchased by such other party pursuant thereto. Further, if another party to the MSV GP Stockholders’ Agreement exercises its right of first refusal pursuant to Section 8.2(a) of the MSV GP Stockholders’ Agreement and SkyTerra then exercises any of its rights under such Section 8.2(a), any purchase of MSV Interests by SkyTerra shall be made pursuant to this Agreement regardless of any substitute terms provided pursuant to such Section 8.2(a).

(c) Sub hereby waives any rights of such party under Section 8.2(a) of the MSV GP Stockholders Agreement in connection with respect to any transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Exchange Agreement (as defined on Schedule B hereto).

(d) If any party to the MSV GP Stockholders Agreement exercises its right of first refusal pursuant to Section 8.2(a) of the MSV GP Stockholders’ Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by any other Transaction Exchange Agreement,

(d) Except for (i) transactions contemplated or permitted by this Agreement, including without limitation, the transactions contemplated by Section 4.12(b) or (ii) with respect to any shares of Motient Common Stock otherwise acquired from Motient by SkyTerra in exchange for shares of TerreStar Common Stock (as defined below), and the disposition of such shares of Motient Common Stock permitted pursuant to the terms of such exchange, SkyTerra shall not, from the date hereof until the third anniversary of the Initial Closing (x) acquire, announce an intention to acquire, offer to acquire, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or undertaking of any kind the purpose of which is to acquire, by purchase, exchange or otherwise, any shares of Motient Common Stock or any security or obligation that is by its terms, directly or indirectly, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Motient Common Stock, including, without limitation any option, warrant or other subscription or purchase right with respect to Motient Common Stock, whether by tender offer, market purchase, privately negotiated purchase, merger or otherwise, or (y) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) or otherwise act in concert with any person in connection with such actions.

Section 4.5 Distribution Registration Statement and Preferred Registration Statement.

(a) Each of the parties shall cooperate, and SkyTerra shall file with the SEC as soon as practicable, the Distribution Registration Statement and the Preferred Registration Statement. SkyTerra will cause the Distribution Registration Statement and the Preferred Registration Statement to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. SkyTerra shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, and Motient will cooperate with SkyTerra, to have the Distribution Registration Statement and the Preferred Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable. SkyTerra will advise Motient, promptly after it receives

notice thereof, of the time when the Distribution Registration Statement or the Preferred Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of the shares of SkyTerra Common Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or any request by the SEC for amendment of the Distribution Registration Statement or the Preferred Registration Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information.

(b) SkyTerra shall cause there to occur Full Cooperation in connection with the Distribution Registration Agreement and the Preferred Registration Statement. “Full Cooperation” means, where, in addition to the cooperation otherwise required by this Agreement, SkyTerra (a) takes all actions as Motient reasonably requests in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the SkyTerra Shares (including, without limitation, causing senior management and other SkyTerra personnel to cooperate with Motient in connection with performing due diligence), (b) causes its counsel to issue opinions of counsel in form, substance and scope as are customary in primary underwritten offerings, addressed and delivered to Motient and (c) causes its registered independent public auditors to deliver a comfort letter, in form, substance and scope as are customary in primary underwritten offerings, addressed and delivered to Motient.

(c) SkyTerra shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Distribution Registration Statement and the Preferred Registration Statement until such time as Motient completes the distribution to the Motient Common Stockholders described in Section 2.5(i) hereto, in the case of the Distribution Registration Statement, and Motient completes the distribution to the Motient Preferred Stockholders described in Section 2.5(A) hereto, in the case of the Preferred Registration Statement.

Section 4.6 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. The parties shall each cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective subsidiaries to use) their respective commercially reasonable efforts to promptly (i) take or cause to be taken all necessary actions, and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement or the MSV Documents and applicable laws to consummate and make effective all the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable, including, without limitation, amending the MSV Investor Agreements, preparing and filing promptly and fully all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents and approving the change of control of MSV and (ii) obtain all approvals required to be obtained from any Governmental Entity or third party necessary, proper or advisable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Motient and Sub shall at any time, and from time to time, after the applicable Closing, execute, acknowledge and deliver all further assignments, transfers, and any other such instruments of conveyance, upon the request of SkyTerra, to confirm the sale of the MSV Interests or Retained MSV Interests, as the case may be, hereunder.

Section 4.7 Exchange of SkyTerra Non-Voting Common Stock for SkyTerra Common Stock. If Motient desires to transfer any shares of SkyTerra Non-Voting Common Stock to any person, other than a subsidiary of Motient or an entity of which Motient is a subsidiary, and, following such transfer and except in the case of transfers pursuant to the Distribution Registration Statement or the Preferred Registration Statement or in the case of sales by Motient in the open market pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption

from registration, such person by itself or with any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will not beneficially own 10% or more of SkyTerra’s voting power (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) then, at the request of Motient, SkyTerra will exchange such shares of SkyTerra Non-Voting Common Stock for SkyTerra Common Stock on a one-for-one basis (in each case as appropriately adjusted for any stock split, combination, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock distribution or similar event declared or effected after the issuance of such shares of SkyTerra Non-Voting Common Stock being exchanged). Upon surrender of certificates representing the shares of SkyTerra Non-Voting Common Stock that are being exchanged as part of such transfer, SkyTerra will issue to the transferee certificates representing the appropriate number of shares of SkyTerra Common Stock. The shares of SkyTerra Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the shares of SkyTerra Non-Voting Common Stock have been duly authorized by SkyTerra and, when delivered in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.7, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Section 4.8 Motient Dividend. Motient shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all steps necessary to pay the dividend of the SkyTerra Shares to the Motient Common Stockholders promptly following the Initial Closing; provided, that the record date for such dividend shall be a date after the Initial Closing and following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the exchange agreements (collectively, the “Fund Exchange Agreements”), each dated as of the date hereof, pursuant to which Motient shall acquire 100% of the equity of TerreStar Networks Inc. held by Columbia Capital Equity Partners III (QP), L.P., Columbia Capital Equity Partners III (AI), L.P., Columbia Capital Equity Partners III (Cayman), L.P., Columbia Capital Investors III, LLC, Columbia Capital Employee Investors III, L.L.C., Spectrum Equity Investors Parallel IV, L.P., Spectrum Equity Investors IV L.P., Spectrum IV Investment Managers’ Fund, L.P. Motient shall, upon taking all steps necessary therefore, distribute the shares of SkyTerra Common Stock into which the SkyTerra Shares issued in accordance with Section 2.5(i) are exchangeable pursuant to Section 4.7 in a dividend to the Motient Common Stockholders in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the Distribution Registration Statement and otherwise in accordance with the Securities Act. Motient shall distribute the shares of SkyTerra Common Stock into which the Additional SkyTerra Shares issued in accordance with Section 2.5(A) are exchangeable pursuant to Section 4.7 to the Motient Preferred Stockholders upon conversion of their Motient Preferred Stock into Motient Common Stock in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the Preferred Registration Statement and otherwise in accordance with the Securities Act.

Section 4.9 Public Announcements. Except as may be required by applicable law, no party hereto shall make any public announcements or otherwise communicate with any news media with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, without prior consultation with the other parties as to the timing and contents of any such announcement or communications; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent any party from promptly making all filings with any Governmental Entity or disclosures with the stock exchange, if any, on which such party’s capital stock is listed, as may, in its judgment, be required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 4.10 Prohibited Actions; Appropriate Adjustments.

(a) From the date hereof through the Initial Closing, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, without obtaining the prior written consent of Motient, SkyTerra shall not set any record date with respect to any dividend or declare or pay any dividend, either in cash, securities or otherwise, on any shares of its capital stock (other than required dividends to the holders of the SkyTerra Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms thereof), repurchase any shares of its capital stock, make any distributions to the holders of its capital stock (other than regular dividends to the holders of SkyTerra Preferred Stock) or take any other similar action. Following the Initial Closing and until the later to occur of such time as (i) Motient no longer holds any shares of SkyTerra Non-Voting Common Stock and (ii) no Additional SkyTerra Shares may be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, in the event SkyTerra declares any stock split, combination, reclassification, dividend (in cash, securities or otherwise), stock distribution or the like as to the SkyTerra Common Stock, SkyTerra shall also declare an identical stock split, combination, reclassification, stock dividend, stock distribution or the like as to the SkyTerra Non-Voting Common Stock. In the event after the Initial Closing but prior to the final Subsequent Closing, SkyTerra declares any stock split, combination, reclassification, dividend (in cash, securities or otherwise), stock distribution or the like as to the SkyTerra Non-Voting Common Stock, SkyTerra shall make appropriate provision such that any Additional SkyTerra Shares which have not yet been sold to Motient shall be entitled to and at the Subsequent Closing at which such shares are purchased will receive the full benefit of such stock split, combination, reclassification, stock dividend, stock distribution or similar event at the time such Additional SkyTerra Shares are sold to Motient. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.10(a) shall not prohibit, limit or apply to, (x) the Rights Offering or (y) the SkyTerra Permitted Issuances.

(b) From the date hereof through the Initial Closing, except for the SkyTerra Permitted Issuances, without obtaining the prior written consent of Motient, SkyTerra shall not issue any shares of SkyTerra Common Stock or SkyTerra Non-Voting Common Stock or any security or obligation that is by its terms, directly or indirectly, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of SkyTerra Common Stock or SkyTerra Non-Voting Common Stock, including, without limitation the SkyTerra Preferred Stock, and any option, warrant or other subscription or purchase right with respect to SkyTerra Common Stock, SkyTerra Non-Voting Common Stock or SkyTerra Preferred Stock, other than issuances where (x) the aggregate gross proceeds of all such issuances do not exceed $125 million, (y) such securities are sold for no less than 90% of market value, and (z) such issuance does not result in any Person holding more than 40% of any class of SkyTerra capital stock increasing their percentage ownership of SkyTerra by virtue of participation in such issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SkyTerra shall be permitted to enter into and consummate transactions (including the issuance of shares of SkyTerra Common Stock) with TMI Communications and Company, LP (“TMI”) and/or MSV’s directors, management and employees to acquire, directly or indirectly, their MSV LP Units and MSV GP Shares or options to acquire such securities; provided that the terms and conditions of such transactions (including the exchange ratios) shall be no more favorable to TMI and/or MSV’s directors, management and employees than those applicable to Motient in this Agreement.

(c) From the date hereof until such time as no Additional SkyTerra Shares may be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, SkyTerra shall not take any action to amend the MSV Documents in a manner that would interfere with Motient’s ability to exchange

its Retained MSV Interests for Additional SkyTerra Shares at Subsequent Closings in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 4.11 Tag Along Rights. Simultaneously with the Initial Closing, SkyTerra shall accept for purchase all MSV LP Units and MSV GP Shares properly tendered by the Limited Partners in accordance with Section 8.2(b) of the MSV Stockholders’ Agreement at the Tag Along Price (as defined in the MSV Stockholders’ Agreement) and in compliance with applicable laws and such purchase shall not reduce the MSV Interests to be sold by Sub pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 4.12 Subsequent TerreStar Tag-Along Rights.

(a) For a period of 15 days following the Initial Closing (the “Subsequent Tag Along Period”), Motient shall allow the members of MSV Investors (or, solely in the case of Bay Harbour MSV, Inc., the stockholders of such members) other than SkyTerra (the “MSV Investors Minority Holders”) who hold shares of common stock of TerreStar Networks, Inc. (“TerreStar Common Stock”) that are distributed by MSV Investors to them prior to the Initial Closing (“Distributed TerreStar Shares”) to exchange their Distributed TerreStar Shares at the same exchange ratio (as appropriately adjusted for any stock split, combination, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock distribution or similar event declared or effected prior to the expiration of the Subsequent Tag Along Period) and upon the same terms and conditions (including but not limited to investment representations and warranties by such MSV Investors Minority Holders sufficient to establish a private placement exemption for such offer and sale of Motient Common Stock by Motient) as Motient has agreed to exchange shares of Motient Common Stock for shares of TerreStar Common Stock under the Fund Exchange Agreements (including any registration rights contemplated thereby). This tag-along right may be exercised by each MSV Investors Minority Holder for its Distributed TerreStar Shares by delivery of a written notice to Motient (the “Tag Along Notice”) within the Subsequent Tag Along Period. The Tag Along Notice shall state the number of Distributed TerreStar Shares that such holder wishes to exchange for shares of Motient Common Stock. Upon the giving of a Tag Along Notice, such MSV Investors Minority Holder shall be entitled and obligated to exchange the number of Distributed TerreStar Shares set forth in the Tag Along Notice, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Fund Exchange Agreements, and Motient and such MSV Investors Minority Holder shall enter into an agreement relating thereto in substantially the form of the Fund Exchange Agreements.

(b) For the Subsequent Tag Along Period, Motient shall allow SkyTerra to exchange its Distributed TerreStar Shares at the same exchange ratio (as appropriately adjusted for any stock split, combination, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock distribution or similar event declared or effected prior to the expiration of the Subsequent Tag Along Period) and upon the same terms and conditions as Motient has agreed to exchange shares of Motient Common Stock for shares of TerreStar Common Stock under the Fund Exchange Agreements; provided that (i) SkyTerra shall be obligated to distribute the shares of Motient Common Stock that it receives for such Distributed TerreStar Shares as a pro rata dividend to the holders of SkyTerra Non-Voting Common Stock and SkyTerra Common Stock, the record date for which dividend shall be after the Initial Closing hereunder, and shall only dispose of such shares of Motient Common Stock through such dividend and to Motient at

Subsequent Closings hereunder pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) Motient shall grant registration rights to SkyTerra with respect to such dividend on terms substantially similar to the registration rights granted by SkyTerra to Motient hereunder and under the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Distribution Registration Statement, and (iii) prior to distribution of such shares, SkyTerra shall agree to cause any shares of Motient Common Stock that it receives pursuant to this Section 4.12(b) to be voted at any meeting of stockholders and in connection with any action by written consent, pro rata with all other votes cast at such meeting (or by written consent) by the other holders of Motient Common Stock. This tag-along right may be exercised by SkyTerra for its Distributed TerreStar Shares by delivery of a Tag Along Notice to Motient within the Subsequent Tag Along Period. The Tag Along Notice shall state the number of Distributed TerreStar Shares that SkyTerra wishes to exchange for shares of Motient Common Stock. Upon the giving of a Tag Along Notice, SkyTerra shall be entitled and obligated to exchange the number of Distributed TerreStar Shares set forth in the Tag Along Notice, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Fund Exchange Agreements and subject to the other provisions of this Section 4.12(b), and Motient and SkyTerra shall enter into an agreement relating thereto in substantially the form of the Fund Exchange Agreements (with such changes as required by this Section 4.12(b)).

(b) Motient hereby grants to SkyTerra the irrevocable right and option, exercisable at any time on or after a SkyTerra Change of Control (as defined below), to exchange, or to cause the exchange of, (i) all, and not less than all, of the remaining Retained MSV Interests for (ii) all, and not less than all, of the remaining Additional SkyTerra Shares; provided, however, that this right shall only be exercisable in the event that the Preferred Registration Statement is effective at the time such right would otherwise be exercisable by SkyTerra. A “SkyTerra Change of Control” shall be deemed to occur upon (A) the acquisition of SkyTerra by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation) unless SkyTerra’s stockholders of record as constituted immediately prior to such acquisition or sale will, immediately after such

acquisition or sale (by virtue of securities issued as consideration for SkyTerra’s acquisition or sale or otherwise) hold at least 50% of the voting power, directly or indirectly, of the surviving or acquiring entity (except that the sale by SkyTerra of shares of its capital stock to financial investors in bona fide financing transactions shall not be deemed a SkyTerra Change of Control for this purpose); (B) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of SkyTerra to a third party, including a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of SkyTerra’s subsidiaries, if such assets constitute substantially all of the assets of SkyTerra and such subsidiaries taken as a whole, unless SkyTerra’s stockholders of record as constituted immediately prior to such sale will, immediately after such sale (by virtue of securities issued as consideration for SkyTerra’s sale or otherwise) hold at least 50% of the beneficial ownership or voting power; or (C) if any person or group of related persons (as defined in Rule 13(d) of the Exchange Act) shall become the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of shares representing more than 50% of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the issued and outstanding voting stock of SkyTerra, unless SkyTerra’s stockholders of record as constituted immediately prior to such acquisition or sale will, immediately after such acquisition hold at least 50% of the voting power, directly or indirectly, of the acquiring entity or group; provided, however, the receipt by Motient of shares of SkyTerra Non-Voting Common Stock and any exchange of such shares for SkyTerra Common Stock shall not be deemed to be a SkyTerra Change of Control.

(c) Unless all Additional SkyTerra Shares and Retained MSV Interests shall have been previously exchanged, the option shall be deemed to be exercised with respect to all remaining Retained MSV Interests not previously exchanged on May 6, 2021; provided, however, that the consideration paid for such Retained MSV Interests at such closing shall be a number of shares of SkyTerra Common Stock then equal in fair market value to the then fair market value of the Retained MSV Interests.

(c) The obligations of the parties to consummate each Subsequent Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver (in whole or in part, in writing, by the party in whose favor the condition must be satisfied for purposes of consummating such transactions) on or before the applicable Subsequent Closing Date of each of the following conditions:

(i) No law or order shall have been enacted by any Governmental Entity to enjoin, restrain or prohibit this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby, if such law or order would make it unlawful to consummate such transactions;

(ii) The representations and warranties of Motient and Sub set forth in Article II and the representations and warranties of SkyTerra set forth in Section 3.1, Section 3.2(b), Section 3.3, Section 3.4 and Sections 3.18 through 3.22 and Sections 3.24 and 3.25, shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the applicable Subsequent Closing Date as though such representations and warranties were then made (unless compliance with any such representations and warranties are waived by the other party), and each party shall have delivered to the other party an officer’s certificate to the effect that such condition is satisfied in all respects; and

(iii) Motient shall have delivered the Motient Subsequent Closing Deliveries, and SkyTerra shall have delivered the SkyTerra Subsequent Closing Delivery.

Section 8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The warranties and representations of Motient, Sub and SkyTerra contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Initial Closing for a period of twelve (12) months following such Initial Closing (the “Initial Closing Survival Period”), and the warranties and representations of Motient and Sub contained in this Agreement and the warranties and representations of SkyTerra contained in Section 3.1, Section 3.2(b), Section 3.3, Section 3.4 and Sections 3.18 through 3.22 and Sections 3.24 and 3.25 of this Agreement with respect to a Subsequent Closing shall survive such Subsequent Closing for a period of twelve (12) months following such Subsequent Closing (each, a “Subsequent Closing Survival Period” and, together with the Initial Closing Survival Period, a “Survival Period”), and in each case shall in no way be affected by any investigation of the subject matter thereof made by any party hereto; provided that the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.13 and 3.23 shall survive indefinitely and the sole remedy (except in the case of fraud or where specific performance is sought) for breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.13 and 3.23 shall be provided in the Registration Rights Agreement. The covenants and agreements shall survive the Initial Closing in accordance with their terms.

Section 8.2 Obligation to Indemnify.

(a) SkyTerra Obligation to Indemnify. From and after the Initial Closing, SkyTerra shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Motient, Sub and their respective officers, directors, stockholders, partners, employees, subsidiaries, agents and affiliates (each, a “Motient Indemnitee”), from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, fines, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses and disbursements (including attorneys’,

accountants’ and investigatory fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) to the extent resulting from any (i) breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of SkyTerra contained in this Agreement for which a claim is initiated prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period or (ii) non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement of SkyTerra contained in this Agreement.

(b) Motient’s Obligation to Indemnify. From and after the Initial Closing Date, Motient and Sub, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SkyTerra and its officers, directors, stockholders, partners, employees, agents and affiliates (each, a “SkyTerra Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses to the extent resulting from any (i) breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Motient or Sub contained in this Agreement for which a claim is initiated prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period or (ii) non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement of Motient or Sub contained in this Agreement.

(c) Indemnification Basket Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party (as defined below) shall not be required to indemnify an Indemnified Party (as defined below) pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b), as applicable, unless and until the amount of all Losses incurred by such Indemnified Party exceeds $5,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Basket Amount”), in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be required to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any and all such Losses in excess of the Basket Amount; provided that with respect to Section 6.15, the Basket Amount shall be $2,000,000; provided further, however, that the limitation set forth in this Section 8.2(c) shall not apply to Losses resulting from a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.2 or 3.2(b).

Section 8.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) The person seeking indemnification hereunder (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall give the party or parties from whom indemnification is sought or to be sought (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice of any Loss as to which they have received written notification. If an indemnification claim involves a claim by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. An Indemnifying Party shall have ten business days from the delivery of such notice (the “Notice Response Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not it disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such claim or demand. If an Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to an Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such claim or demand or the amount thereof, such dispute shall be resolved by a civil action in a court of appropriate jurisdiction (including as part of any proceeding with respect to the claim that gave rise to the indemnification claim to which such dispute relates) which may be commenced by either party. During the Notice Response Period, no such claim or demand may be settled by the Indemnified Party.

(b) With respect to each Indemnification Matter (as defined below), the Indemnified Parties will have the sole right and authority to control the defense against any Third

Party Claim with one counsel of their collective choice. This right shall include the right to settle or resolve the Third Party Claim by entering into an agreement memorializing the terms of settlement or resolution (a “Settlement Agreement”), provided however, that the Indemnified Party provides the Indemnifying Party with notice (in accordance with Section 8.4 hereof) of its intent to enter into a Settlement Agreement, which notice shall include the proposed terms of the Settlement Agreement. The Indemnifying Party shall, within ten business days of receipt of such notice, have the right to reject the proposed Settlement Agreement, but shall do so only if it reasonably determines that the Settlement Agreement does not represent a bona fide and reasonable resolution of the underlying Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party (and any Indemnified Party who is not otherwise satisfied with the one counsel chosen by the Indemnified Parties collectively) may retain separate co-counsel at their sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that in no event may any Indemnifying Party consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim or agree with any Person other than the Indemnified Party, to take any other action with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party . If it is determined pursuant to an order or Settlement Agreement that an Indemnifying Party is responsible for all or a portion of any amounts for which the Indemnified Party is liable as a result of such Third Party Claim hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall, pursuant to Section 8.4(b), render payment to the Indemnified Party for all Losses resulting from such claim, subject to the provisions of Section 8.5.

Section 8.4 Notices and Payments.

With respect to each separate matter which is subject to indemnification under this Article VIII (each, an “Indemnification Matter”):

(a) Notice. Upon the Indemnified Party’s receipt of written documents pertaining to an Indemnification Matter, or, if the Indemnification Matter does not involve a third party demand or claim, within a reasonable time after the Indemnified Party first has actual knowledge of such Indemnification Matter, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of the nature of such Indemnification Matter, and, if susceptible to estimation at such time, the Indemnified Party’s best estimate of the amount demanded or claimed in connection therewith as provided in Section 8.3; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) Payment. Upon determination of the amount of the Loss (whether due to the Indemnifying Party’s failure to dispute the indemnification matter, by agreement among the parties, or after a settlement agreement is executed or a final order is rendered with respect to the indemnification matter), the Indemnifying Party shall promptly (and in any event, not later than ten days after such determination) pay to the Indemnified Party all amounts owing by the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII with respect to such indemnification matter, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.5.

Section 8.5 Limited Remedy.

(a) Motient Indemnitee Indemnification Limit. Except in the case of fraud or where specific performance is sought, the maximum amount all Motient Indemnitees may recover in the aggregate pursuant to the indemnity set forth in Section 8.2(a) hereof with respect to a Closing shall be limited to the value of the shares of SkyTerra Common Stock into which the shares of SkyTerra Non-Voting Common Stock to be purchased at such Closing may be exchanged based on the average of the high and low sales price for the five trading day period immediately prior to, and including, the Closing Date (plus the value of any additional property required to be provided to Motient pursuant to Section 4.10(a) hereof at such Closing, if any).

(b) SkyTerra Indemnitee Indemnification Limit. Except in the case of fraud or where specific performance is sought, the maximum amount all SkyTerra Indemnitees may recover in the aggregate pursuant to the indemnity set forth in Section 8.2(b) hereof with respect to a Closing shall be limited to the value of the shares of SkyTerra Common Stock into which the shares of SkyTerra Non-Voting Common Stock to be purchased at such Closing may be exchanged based on the average of the high and low sales price for the five trading day period immediately prior to, and including, the Closing Date (plus the value of any additional property required to be provided to Motient pursuant to Section 4.10(a) hereof at such Closing, if any).

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

1.1 Registration.

(a) As promptly as possible after the date hereof, and in any event prior to the date that is ten (10) business days following the date hereof, SkyTerra shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on the appropriate form for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act 14,407,343 of the Common Shares (as appropriately adjusted in accordance with the MSV Exchange Agreement) (the “Resale Shares”) for resale by Motient (the “Resale Registration Statement”). SkyTerra agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof with the SEC.

(b) SkyTerra shall keep the Resale Registration Statement effective (including through the filing of any required post-effective amendments) until the earlier to occur of (i) such

time as Motient has sold all of the Common Shares registered thereunder or (ii) July 15, 2010; provided, that such date shall be extended by the amount of time of any period during which Motient may not use the Resale Registration Statement as the result of the occurrence of an event described in Section 1.2(e) (ii), (iii) or (iv) below. Thereafter, SkyTerra shall be entitled to withdraw the Resale Registration Statement and, upon such withdrawal, Motient shall have no further right to sell any of the Common Shares pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement (or any prospectus forming a part thereof).

(c) Pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(ii) of the MSV Exchange Agreement, SkyTerra has filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333- ) with the SEC registering under the Securities Act 25,478,273 of the Common Shares (as appropriately adjusted in accordance with the MSV Exchange Agreement) for distribution by Motient as a dividend to the Motient Common Stockholders (the “Distribution Registration Statement”). The Distribution Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on , 2006.

(d) Pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(iii) of the MSV Exchange Agreement, SkyTerra has filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333- ) with the SEC registering under the Securities Act 4,447,801 of the Common Shares (as appropriately adjusted in accordance with the MSV Exchange Agreement) for distribution by Motient to the holders of Motient’s Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock upon the election by the holders of such shares to convert such shares of Motient preferred stock into shares of Motient Common Stock (the “Preferred Registration Statement” and, together with the Distribution Registration Statement and the Resale Registration Statement, the “Registration Statements”). The Preferred Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on , 2006. The registrations effected pursuant to the Registration Statements are referred to herein as the “Registrations.”

(e) SkyTerra shall keep the (i) Distribution Registration Statement effective (including through the filing of any required post-effective amendments) until such time as Motient declares and pays the dividend of the Common Shares to the Motient Common Stockholders referenced in the Distribution Registration Statement and (ii) Preferred Registration Statement effective (including through the filing of any required post-effective amendments) until the earlier to occur of (A) the date after which all of the Common Shares registered thereunder shall have been distributed by Motient to its preferred stockholders and (B) July 15, 2010; provided, that such date shall be extended by the amount of time of any period during which Motient may not use the Preferred Registration Statement as the result of the occurrence of an event described in Section 1.2(e) (ii), (iii) or (iv) below. Thereafter, SkyTerra shall be entitled to withdraw the Distribution Registration Statement and the Preferred Registration Statement, as applicable, and, upon such withdrawal, Motient shall have no further right to distribute any of the Common Shares pursuant to the Distribution Registration Statement or Preferred Registration Statement (or any prospectus forming a part thereof), as applicable.

1.2 Registration Procedures. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, whenever any Common Shares are required to be registered pursuant to this Agreement or were required to be registered pursuant to the MSV Exchange Agreement, SkyTerra shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration (if not previously effected) and the sale or distribution of

such Common Shares (if not previously sold or distributed) in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto SkyTerra shall as expeditiously as practicable:

(a) promptly prepare and file with the SEC the applicable registration statement with respect to such Common Shares (and any amendments, including any post-effective amendments or supplements to such registration statement SkyTerra deems to be necessary) and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable to it; provided, that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, SkyTerra shall furnish to counsel for Motient copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, including documents incorporated by reference in the registration statement and, if requested by Motient, the exhibits incorporated by reference so as to provide Motient and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents, and SkyTerra (i) will make such changes and additions thereto as reasonably requested by counsel to Motient prior to filing any registration statement or amendment thereto or any prospectus or any supplement thereto and (ii) if Motient is an underwriter or controlling person of SkyTerra, to include therein material relating to Motient or the plan of distribution for the Common Shares registered thereunder, furnished to SkyTerra in writing, which, in the reasonable judgment of Motient, should be included;

(b) furnish to Motient such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement and such other documents as Motient may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of such Common Shares registered thereunder; provided, however, that SkyTerra shall have no obligation to furnish copies of a final prospectus if the conditions of Rule 172(c) under the Securities Act are satisfied by SkyTerra;

(c) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement with respect to such Common Shares registered thereunder effective for the applicable time periods as specified in Section 1.1 in order to complete the disposition of the Common Shares covered by such registration statement and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Common Shares covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition thereof as set forth in such registration statement;

(d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify such Common Shares under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as Motient (or any other holder whose securities are included in a registration statement on which Common Shares are registered) reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable Motient to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Common Shares owned by Motient (provided that SkyTerra shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do

business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subsection, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction);

(e) notify Motient, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, (i) when a registration statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective under the Securities Act, (ii) of any written request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to such registration statement or prospectus, (iii) of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (whereupon Motient shall immediately cease any offers, sales or other distribution of Common Shares registered thereunder), and, subject to 1.3(c), SkyTerra shall promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter used by Motient for the resale of the Common Shares or delivered to the stockholders of Motient in connection with the distribution of such Common Shares, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (iv) of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any of the Common Shares included in such registration statement for sale or distribution in any jurisdiction;

(f) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Common Shares included in such registration statement for sale or distribution in any jurisdiction, SkyTerra shall use its commercially reasonable efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order and shall prepare and file an amended or supplemented prospectus, if required; and

(g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Common Shares not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

(h) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Common Shares covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable Motient to complete the disposition of the Common Shares covered by such registration statement and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Common Shares covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by Motient thereof set forth in such registration statement;

(i) make available for inspection by Motient, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or

other agent retained by Motient or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of SkyTerra, and cause SkyTerra’s officers, managers, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by SkyTerra, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement; and

(j) make generally available to its stockholders a consolidated earnings statement (which need not be audited) for the 12 months beginning after the effective date of such registration statement as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of such period, which earnings statement shall satisfy the requirements of an earning statement under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

1.3 Other Procedural Matters.

(a) SEC Correspondence. SkyTerra shall make available to Motient promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by SkyTerra, one copy of each registration statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, each letter written by or on behalf of SkyTerra to the SEC or the staff of the SEC (or other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction, including any domestic or foreign securities exchange), in each case relating to such registration statement. SkyTerra will promptly respond to any and all comments received from the SEC, with a view towards causing each registration statement or any amendment thereto to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable and shall file an acceleration request as soon as practicable following the resolution or clearance of all SEC comments or, if applicable, following notification by the SEC that any such registration statement or any amendment thereto will not be subject to review.

(b) SkyTerra may require Motient to furnish to SkyTerra any other information regarding Motient and the distribution of such securities, including without limitation the plan of disposition of the Common Shares, as SkyTerra reasonably determines, is required to be included in any registration statement.

(c) Motient agrees that, upon notice from SkyTerra of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (a “Suspension Notice”), Motient will forthwith discontinue disposition of Common Shares pursuant to such registration statement until Motient is advised in writing by SkyTerra that the use of the prospectus may be resumed and is furnished with a supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by Section 1.2 hereof; provided, however, that such postponement of sales of Common Shares by Motient shall not in any event exceed (i) twenty (20) consecutive days or (ii) forty-five (45) days in the aggregate in any 12 month period.

Motient shall not be obligated to comply with the provisions of this Section 2.1 more than two times in any 12-month period.

SECTION 3. INDEMNIFICATION.

3.1 Indemnification by SkyTerra. SkyTerra agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, Motient, its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates and each Person who controls Motient (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement described in this Agreement and/or the MSV Exchange Agreement, (including, without limitation, the Distribution Registration Statement (as defined in the MSV Exchange Agreement), the Resale Registration Statement and the Preferred Registration Statement)

(each a “Transaction Registration Statement”) or any prospectus forming a part of any such Transaction Registration Statement or any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Securities Act Rule 433), or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or any violation or alleged violation by SkyTerra of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or applicable “blue sky” laws, except insofar as the same are made in reliance and in conformity with any information furnished in writing to SkyTerra by Motient expressly for use therein or by the failure of Motient to deliver a copy of such registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto as required by law after SkyTerra has furnished Motient with a sufficient number of copies of the same.

3.2 Indemnification by Motient. In connection with any registration statement in which Motient is participating, Motient shall furnish to SkyTerra in writing such information as SkyTerra reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify SkyTerra, its directors, officers, employees and Affiliates, and each Person who controls SkyTerra (within the meaning of the Securities Act), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Transaction Registration Statement, the prospectus or preliminary prospectus forming a part of such Transaction Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that any information so furnished in writing by Motient contains such untrue statement or omits a material fact required to be stated therein necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that any such obligation of Motient to indemnify SkyTerra hereunder shall be limited to (i) the net proceeds to Motient from the sale of the Common Shares pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement in the case of the Resale Registration Statement, and (ii) the value of the Common Shares distributed pursuant to the Distribution Registration Statement or the Preferred Registration Statement, as applicable, based on the average of the high and low sales price of Common Shares for the five trading day period immediately prior to the date of such distribution with respect to the Distribution Registration Statement or the Preferred Registration Statement, as applicable.

3.3 Indemnification Procedures. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party there may be one

or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party that are in addition to or may conflict with those available to another indemnified party with respect to such claim. Failure to give prompt written notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligations hereunder.

3.4 Investigation; Contribution. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. If the indemnification provided under Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 of this Agreement is held by a court to be unavailable or unenforceable in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that result in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified Person on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, and by such party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. In no event shall the liability of Motient for contribution pursuant to this Section 3.4 be greater than the amount for which Motient would have been liable pursuant to Section 3.2 had indemnification been available and enforceable.

SECTION 4. RULE 144 TRANSACTIONS.

4.1 Undertaking to File Reports and Cooperate in Rule 144 Transactions. For as long as Motient continues to hold or has the right under the MSV Exchange Agreement to acquire any Acquired Shares, SkyTerra shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, on a timely basis, all annual, quarterly and other periodic reports required to be filed by it under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to require SkyTerra to prepare and file periodic reports if it is not required to do so under the Exchange Act. In the event of any proposed sale by Motient of Acquired Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or otherwise as provided herein, which sale is to be made in accordance with the terms of Section 5.1(d) hereof, SkyTerra shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Motient so as to enable such sales to be made in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, the requirements of the transfer agent of SkyTerra, and the reasonable requirements of the broker through which the sales are proposed to be executed, and shall, upon written request, furnish unlegended certificates representing ownership of the shares of Common Shares sold thereby, such certificates to be furnished in such numbers and denominations as Motient may reasonably request.

(g) sales or transfers of Resale Shares pursuant to a tender or exchange offer which the Board of Directors of SkyTerra does not oppose within 10 business days after the date of commencement (as such term is defined in Rule 14d-2(a) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act) of such offer; or

(h) dispositions of Resale Shares by Motient to any wholly owned subsidiary of Motient or to a successor corporation of Motient; provided, however, that in each such case, the transferee shall receive and hold such Resale Shares subject to, and the transferee and all of the transferees’ Affiliates shall agree to be bound by, all the terms of this Agreement, which terms shall also inure to the benefit of such transferees, and there shall be no further transfer of such Resale Shares for which they are exchangeable, except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.1; or

(i) dispositions pursuant to any merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization to which SkyTerra is a party or in connection with any reclassification of the Acquired Shares or the Common Shares;

provided, that in the event that Motient seeks to effect a Disposition of any Resale Shares pursuant to clauses (d), (e) or (h) of this Section 5.1, (i) such Disposition is made in compliance with applicable securities laws, and (ii) prior to such Disposition, Motient shall have delivered to SkyTerra an opinion of counsel stating that such Disposition (A) is permitted by this Agreement and the MSV Exchange Agreement, (B) does not require registration under the Securities Act, and (C) assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in the MSV Exchange Agreement, does not cause the MSV Exchange to be required to have been registered under the Securities Act; provided, that with respect to Dispositions pursuant to Section 5.1(d), such opinion shall only be required if requested by SkyTerra’s transfer agent and in any event no opinion shall be required for Dispositions pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.
