If Holder is an entity, Holder is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership of its properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except for failures, if any, to be so qualified which individually or in the aggregate have not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Holder Material Adverse Effect. A "Holder Material Adverse Effect" means a material adverse effect respecting the ability of Holder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or fulfill the conditions to Closing set forth herein.
Section 2.2 Title to MSV LP Units. As of the date hereof and at all times until and including at the Closing, Holder owns, of record and beneficially, the MSV LP Units attributed to such Holder in Section 1.1 free and clear of any and all option, call, contract, commitment, mortgage, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, lien, Tax (as defined below), claim or charge of any kind or right of others of whatever nature (collectively, a “Lien”) of any kind, other than pursuant to applicable securities laws (“Securities Law Encumbrances”) and the MSV Documents (as defined below). Upon the Closing, (x) SkyTerra shall be vested with good and valid title to the MSV LP Units, free and clear of any Liens of any kind (other than Securities Law Encumbrances or the MSV Documents) and (y) Holder shall not 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. “MSV Documents” means the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of MSV, dated as of November 12, 2004, as amended on September 25, 2006, and January 5, 2007 (the "Partnership Agreement"), and, as incorporated by and into the Partnership Agreement, Section 8 of the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement of Mobile Satellite Ventures GP Inc., a Delaware corporation and the general partner of MSV, dated as of November 12, 2004, as amended on May 6, 2006 and September 25, 2006 (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”).
Section 2.3 Authority Relative to this Agreement. Holder has the requisite power, authority or capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Holder and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by SkyTerra, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Holder, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
Section 2.4 Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of a benefit under (i) any provision of the organizational documents of Holder, if Holder is an entity, or (ii) any material mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement or instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Holder or its properties or assets, including, but not limited to, the MSV Documents. 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 Holder in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Holder or the consummation by Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for such consents, authorizations, filings, approvals and registrations which, if not obtained or made, would not have a Holder Material Adverse Effect.
Section 2.5 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The SkyTerra Shares to be issued to Holder will be acquired for investment for Holder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution that would require registration of the SkyTerra Shares or any part thereof under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in violation of applicable securities laws, and Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing such SkyTerra Shares except in compliance with applicable securities laws.
Section 2.6 Reliance Upon Holder’s Representations. Holder understands that the SkyTerra Shares will not be registered for issuance to Holder under the Securities Act and the sale provided for in this Agreement and SkyTerra’s issuance of 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 Holder’s representations set forth herein.
Section 2.7 Receipt of Information. Holder has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire SkyTerra Shares. Holder 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 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 Holder to rely upon such representations or warranties. Holder has not received, nor is it relying on, any representations or warranties from SkyTerra, other than as provided herein; provided that the foregoing shall not affect any right Holder may have on account of fraud.
Section 2.8 Investor Status; etc. Holder certifies and represents to SkyTerra that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act ("Accredited Investor") and was not organized for the purpose of acquiring SkyTerra Shares. Holder’s financial condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding the SkyTerra Shares for an indefinite period of time and the risk of loss of its entire investment. Holder 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. Upon written request of SkyTerra, Holder will provide any information reasonably requested by SkyTerra to verify its status as an Accredited Investor.
Section 2.9 Taxes. There are no Liens arising from or related to Taxes (as defined below) on or pending against Holder or any of its properties other than statutory Liens for Taxes that are not yet due and payable. “Taxes” means any and all federal, state, local, foreign or other tax of any kind (together with any and all interest, penalties, additions to tax and additional amounts imposed with respect thereto) imposed by any Tax Authority (as defined below), including taxes on or with respect to income, alternative minimum, accumulated earnings, personal holding company, capital, transfer, stamp, franchises, windfall or other profits, gross receipts, property, sales, use, capital stock, payroll, employment, unemployment, social security, workers’ compensation or net worth, and taxes in the nature of excise, withholding, ad valorem or value added. “Tax Authority” means any competent domestic or foreign national, state, provincial, municipal or other local judicial, legislative, executive, administrative or regulatory authority or any governmental or private body exercising any regulatory or taxing authority responsible for the determination, assessment or collection of Taxes.
Section 2.10 Brokers or Finders. Holder has not incurred, nor will it 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. Holder understands that the 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 SkyTerra Shares or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, such SkyTerra Shares must be held indefinitely. In particular, Holder is aware that such SkyTerra Shares may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act unless all of the conditions of the rule are met. Among the conditions for use of Rule 144, under certain circumstances, is the availability to the public of current information about SkyTerra.
Section 2.12 Legend. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the SkyTerra Shares will bear the following legend:
“These securities have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission 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 or letters of representation satisfactory to SkyTerra Communications, Inc. that such registration is not required.”
