THIS EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of January 15, 2007 by
and among Motient Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Motient”), MVH Holdings Inc., a Delaware
corporation and indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Motient (“Sub”), and BCE Inc., a business
corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada (“BCE”).
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing (as defined below)
Motient, through Sub, intends to purchase from BCE, and BCE intends to sell to Sub, (i) 5,073,715
shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “TerreStar Networks Shares”) of TerreStar
Networks, Inc. (“TerreStar”) and (ii) 1,887,133.89202 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per
share (the “TerreStar Bermuda Shares” and, together with the TerreStar Networks Shares, the
“TerreStar Shares”) of TerreStar Networks Bermuda Ltd. owned by BCE, in exchange for 9,031,213
shares (“Motient Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Motient Common Stock”), of
Motient, in each case as appropriately adjusted for any stock split, combination, reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock distribution or similar event declared or
effected prior to the Closing.
AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and representations set forth herein, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE
Section 1.1 Sale of TerreStar Shares.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations,
warranties and agreements contained herein, at the Closing, BCE will purchase from Motient, and
Motient shall issue and sell to BCE, the Motient Shares, and Motient will purchase from BCE, and
BCE shall sell to Sub, the TerreStar Shares.
(b) If the record date for Motient’s planned distribution of shares of common stock (“SkyTerra
Common Stock”) of SkyTerra Communications, Inc. (“SkyTerra”) that Motient receives pursuant to the
exchange agreement (the “SkyTerra
-A1-
Exchange Agreement”), dated as of May 6, 2006, by and among Motient, Sub and SkyTerra (such
distribution, the “Initial Dividend”) occurs prior to the Closing (any such Closing occurring after
such record date being herein referred to as a “Late Closing”), then the consideration that Motient
shall be required to pay to BCE at Closing in exchange for the TerreStar Shares shall include the
Motient Shares plus a number of shares of SkyTerra Common Stock equal to the number of
shares of SkyTerra Common Stock distributed per Motient Share in the Initial Dividend
multiplied by the number of shares of Motient Common Stock included in the Motient Shares.
The shares of SkyTerra Common Stock deliverable to BCE at any Late Closing are collectively
referred to herein as the “SkyTerra Shares”.
Section 1.2 Closing. The Closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase and sale
contemplated by Section 1.1 hereof shall be held (a) at the offices of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx LLP, 450
Lexington Avenue, New York, New York on the first business day immediately following the day on
which the last to be fulfilled or waived of the conditions set forth in Articles V and VI (other
than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to
fulfillment or waiver of those conditions), shall be fulfilled or waived in accordance herewith, or
(b) at such other time, date or place as Motient and BCE may agree in writing. The date on which
the Closing occurs is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”
Section 1.3 Deliveries.
(a) Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Motient and BCE shall execute and
deliver the Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the
“Registration Rights Agreement”).
(b) At the Closing, BCE shall deliver to Motient and/or Sub the following (collectively, the
“BCE Closing Deliveries”):
(i) certificates registered in the name of TMI Communications Delaware, Limited
Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership in which BCE is currently the general partner
(“TMI Delaware”), representing the TerreStar Networks Shares or an affidavit of lost
certificate with respect to any lost, missing or destroyed certificate in form reasonably
satisfactory to Motient (it being acknowledged that Motient’s counsel in Bermuda already
holds certificates representing the TerreStar Bermuda Shares so that there will be no
further BCE requirement to deliver those certificates);
(ii) duly executed stock powers evidencing the transfer of the TerreStar Shares from
TMI Delaware to BCE (in some cases through one or more subsidiaries of BCE) and from BCE to
Sub, in such form reasonably satisfactory to Motient as shall be effective to vest in
Motient good and valid title to the
-2-
TerreStar Shares, free and clear of any Lien (as defined below) other than Securities
Law Encumbrances (as defined below) or pursuant to the TerreStar Documents (as defined
below); and
(iii) a certificate of compliance for BCE from Corporations Canada.
(c) At the Closing, Motient and/or Sub shall deliver to BCE the following (collectively, the
“Motient Closing Deliveries”):
(i) a certificate registered in BCE’s name representing the Motient Shares and, if the
Closing is a Late Closing, a certificate registered in BCE’s name representing the SkyTerra
Shares;
(ii) an effective registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering
the resale by BCE of the Motient Shares;
(iii) certified resolutions of Motient’s and Sub’s Boards of Directors approving this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby;
(iv) a certificate of good standing for Motient and Sub from the Secretary of State of
the State of Delaware; and
(v) a certificate complying with Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2(g)(1)(ii) that
states that interests in TerreStar are not “United States real property interests.”
ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BCE
BCE represents and warrants to Motient and Sub, as follows:
Section 2.1 Organization. BCE is a business corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of Canada and has the requisite corporate power and
authority to own or lease its properties and to carry on its business as is presently being
conducted. BCE 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 BCE Material Adverse
Effect. A “BCE Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect respecting the ability of
BCE to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or fulfill the conditions to
-3-
Closing set forth herein, except to the extent that such adverse effect results from (i)
general economic, regulatory or political conditions or changes therein in the United States or the
other countries in which such party operates; (ii) financial or securities market fluctuations or
conditions; or (iii) changes in, or events or conditions affecting, the wireless telecommunications
industry generally.
Section 2.2 Title to TerreStar Shares. As of the date hereof, BCE owns, and at all
times until and including the Closing Date, BCE will own, of record and beneficially, the TerreStar
Shares free and clear of any and all option, call, contract, commitment, mortgage, pledge, security
interest, encumbrance, lien, Tax, 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”) or the TerreStar Documents (defined below). Upon the Closing, (x)
Sub shall be vested with good and valid title to the TerreStar Shares, free and clear of any Liens
of any kind (other than Securities Law Encumbrances or the TerreStar Documents) and (y) BCE 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 shares of TerreStar common stock, other than options to
purchase shares of TerreStar common stock held by persons affiliated with BCE that may be deemed to
be beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by BCE. The “TerreStar Documents” means the Amended
and Restated TerreStar Networks Inc. Stockholders’ Agreement dated May 6, 2006 (the “TerreStar
Stockholders’ Agreement”), the TerreStar Parent Transfer/Drag Along Agreement dated May 11, 2005,
the Certificate of Incorporation of TerreStar Networks Inc. and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of
TerreStar Networks, Inc., as the same may be amended from time to time.
Section 2.3 Authority Relative to this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement. BCE has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement by BCE, and the consummation by BCE of the transactions contemplated hereby have been
duly authorized by BCE, and no other proceedings on the part of BCE are necessary to authorize this
Agreement or for BCE to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been
duly and validly executed and delivered by BCE and, assuming the due authorization, execution and
delivery thereof by Motient and Sub, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of BCE,
enforceable against BCE in accordance with its terms.
Section 2.4 Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Except in connection 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 the Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), (c) filings or approvals
-4-
required under state securities or “blue sky” laws, (d) the tag-along provisions (the
“TerreStar Tag-Along”) of Section 8 of the TerreStar Stockholders’ Agreement, and (e) the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, the Radiocommunication Act, as amended, the
Telecommunications Act, as amended, and the rules, regulations, policies and authorizations of the
Federal Communications Commission and any successor thereto (“FCC”), Industry Canada and any
successor thereto and Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission and any successor
thereto (collectively, the “Communications Laws”), neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, 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 BCE, (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 BCE or its respective properties or assets,
including but not limited to the TerreStar Documents. 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 Registration Statement 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 BCE in connection with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement by BCE or the
consummation by BCE of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except for such consents,
authorizations, filings, approvals and registrations which, if not obtained or made, would not have
a BCE Material Adverse Effect.
Section 2.5 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Motient Shares will be acquired
for investment for BCE’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
BCE has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing
such Motient Shares except in compliance with applicable securities laws. It is understood that
nothing herein shall prevent BCE from distributing the Motient Shares to its beneficial owners, in
compliance with Section 5.1 of the Registration Rights Agreement and applicable securities laws.
Section 2.6 Reliance Upon BCE’s Representations. BCE understands that the Motient
Shares will not be registered for issuance to BCE under the Securities Act and the sale provided
for in this Agreement and Motient’s issuance of the Motient Shares hereunder will be made in
reliance upon an exemption from registration under the
-5-
Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that, in such case, Motient’s reliance on
such exemption will be based on BCE’s representations set forth herein.
Section 2.7 Receipt of Information. BCE believes it has received all the information
it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire Motient Shares. BCE further
represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Motient
regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of Motient Shares and the business and financial
condition of Motient 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 to which it had access. The foregoing, however, does
not limit or modify the representations or warranties of Motient in this Agreement or the right of
BCE to rely upon such representations or warranties. BCE has not received, nor is it relying on,
any representations or warranties from Motient or Sub, other than as provided herein;
provided, that the foregoing shall not affect any right BCE may have on account of fraud.
Section 2.8 Investor Status; etc. BCE certifies and represents to Motient 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 Motient Shares. BCE’s financial
condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding the Motient Shares for an indefinite
period of time and the risk of loss of its entire investment. BCE has sufficient knowledge and
experience in investing in companies similar to Motient so as to be able to evaluate the risks and
merits of its investment in Motient.
Section 2.9 Liens for Taxes. There are no Liens arising from or related to Taxes
(defined below) on or pending against the TerreStar Shares other than Liens (defined below) for
Taxes that are not yet due and payable. “Tax” 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, 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.
Section 2.10 Brokers or Finders. BCE 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. BCE understands that the Motient Shares may not
be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration under the
-6-
Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration
statement covering the Motient Shares or an available exemption from registration under the
Securities Act, such Motient Shares must be held indefinitely. In particular, BCE is aware that
such Motient 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
Motient.
Section 2.12 Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Motient
Shares 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 Motient Corporation that such registration is not required.”
(b) Any legend required by the laws of the State of Delaware or other jurisdiction.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF MOTIENT
Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Disclosure Schedule of Motient attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference which clearly identifies the relevant section of this
Agreement (the “Motient Disclosure Schedule”), Motient and Sub, jointly and severally, represent
and warrant to BCE, as follows:
Section 3.1 Corporate Organization; Related Entities. Motient and Sub are
corporations duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware and each has the requisite corporate power and authority to own or lease its properties
and to carry on its business as it is presently being conducted. Motient and Sub are duly qualified
to do business as a foreign corporation, and are in good standing, in each jurisdiction in which
the ownership of their properties or the conduct of their 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 Motient Material Adverse Effect. The copies of the
certificates of incorporation and bylaws of Motient and Sub heretofore made available to BCE are
complete and current copies of such instruments as presently in effect. A “Motient Material Adverse
Effect” means a material adverse effect respecting (a) the business, assets and liabilities (taken
together) or financial condition of Motient and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or (b) the
ability of Motient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
-7-
Agreement or fulfill the conditions to Closing set forth herein, except to the extent (in the
case of either clause (a) or clause (b) above) that such adverse effect results from (i) general
economic, regulatory or political conditions or changes therein in the United States or the other
countries in which such party operates; (ii) financial or securities market fluctuations or
conditions; or (iii) changes in, or events or conditions affecting, the wireless telecommunications
industry generally.
Section 3.2 Capitalization.
(a) As of the date of this Agreement, the authorized capital stock of Motient consists of (i)
200,000,000 shares of Motient’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Motient Common

stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Motient Preferred Stock”), 450,000 of which are designated as
Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and 90,000 of which are issued and outstanding and
500,000 of which are designated as Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and 318,500 of
which are issued and outstanding. Motient has no other designations of Motient Preferred Stock. As
of the date of this Agreement, (x) 646,066 shares of Motient Common Stock are reserved for issuance
pursuant to Motient’s stock option plans (each a “Motient Stock Option Plan”), a list of which is
set forth on Schedule 3.2 of the Motient Disclosure Schedule, (y) 5,630,320 shares of
Motient Common Stock are reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants to
purchase shares of Motient Common Stock and (z) 1,087,045 shares of Motient Common Stock are

former minority holders of MSV Investors, LLC. All the issued and outstanding shares of Motient’s
capital stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable and
free of statutory preemptive rights and contractual stockholder preemptive rights, with no personal
liability attaching to the ownership thereof. Except the Motient Preferred Stock, pursuant to the
Motient Stock Option Plan, as set forth in (x), (y) and (z) above and as set forth on Schedule 3.2
to the Motient Disclosure Schedule, Motient (i) does not have and is not bound by any outstanding
subscriptions, options, voting trusts, convertible securities, warrants, calls, commitments or
agreements of any character or kind calling for the purchase, issuance or grant of any additional
shares of its capital stock or restricting the transfer of its capital stock and (ii) is not a
party to any voting trust or other agreement or understanding with respect to the voting of the
capital stock or other equity securities of Motient.
(b) The Motient Shares have been duly and validly authorized, and, when issued upon the terms
hereof, will be fully paid, nonassessable and free of statutory preemptive rights and contractual
stockholder preemptive rights, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof.
-8-
Section 3.3 Authority Relative to This Agreement. Motient and Sub have the requisite
corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by Motient and, if applicable, Sub
and the consummation by Motient and, if applicable, Sub of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby have been duly authorized by Motient’s and, if applicable, Sub’s Board of Directors, and no
other corporate or stockholder proceedings on the part of Motient or Sub are necessary to authorize

Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement have been duly and validly executed and delivered
by Motient and, if applicable, Sub and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery
thereof by BCE, constitute the valid and binding obligations of Motient and, if applicable, Sub,
enforceable against Motient and, if applicable, Sub in accordance with its terms.
Section 3.4 Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Except in connection or in order

Act, (c) filings or approvals required under state securities or “blue sky” laws, (d) the TerreStar
Tag-Along, and (e) the Communications Laws, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement,

a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of a benefit under
(i) any provision of the organizational documents of Motient or Sub, (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 Motient

necessary, similar foreign competition or Antitrust Laws, (b) the filing of the Registration
Statement 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 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 3.5 Reports and Financial Statements.
(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.5(a) of the Motient Disclosure Schedule, Motient
has timely filed all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant
-9-
to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or the Securities Act
since January 1, 2004 (collectively, the “Motient SEC Reports”), and has previously made available
to BCE true and complete copies of all such Motient SEC Reports. Such Motient SEC Reports, as of
their respective dates (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this
Agreement, then on the date of such filing), complied in all material respects with the applicable
requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and none of such
Motient SEC Reports, as of their respective dates (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior to
the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such filing), contained any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state 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. The consolidated financial statements of Motient included in the Motient 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 Motient and its consolidated subsidiaries as at
the dates thereof and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of Motient and its
consolidated subsidiaries for the periods then ended. Except as disclosed in the Motient SEC
Reports there has been no change in any of the significant accounting (including Tax accounting)
policies or procedures of Motient since December 31, 2005.
(b) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.5(b) of the Motient Disclosure Schedule, Motient
maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances
that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP or any other criteria applicable to such statements and to
maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is
compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with
respect to any differences.
(c) Since January 1, 2005, neither Motient nor, to Motient’s knowledge, any director, officer,
employee, auditor, accountant or representative of Motient has received or otherwise had or
obtained knowledge of any complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, in writing, regarding the
accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of Motient or Motient’s
internal accounting controls, including any complaint, allegation, assertion or claim that Motient
has engaged in questionable accounting or auditing practices. No attorney representing Motient,
whether or not employed by Motient, has reported “evidence of a material violation” (as
-10-
defined in 17 CFR Part 205) to Motient’s board of directors or any committee thereof or to any
director or officer of Motient.

operations in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices and (ii) there has
not been any fact, event, circumstance or change affecting or relating to Motient which has had or
could reasonably be expected to have a Motient Material Adverse Effect or as set forth on Schedule
3.6 to the Motient Disclosure Schedule. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.6 of the Motient
Disclosure Schedule or as could not reasonably be expected to represent a Motient Material Adverse
Effect, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not constitute a change of control
under or require the consent from or the giving of notice to a third party pursuant to the terms,
conditions or provisions of any Motient Contract (defined below).

financial statements of Motient as of and for the period ended December 31, 2005, or in Motient SEC
Reports filed subsequent thereto but prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date hereof,
there is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Motient,
threatened against Motient or with respect to which Motient could be required to provide
indemnification or to otherwise contribute to liabilities or damages relating thereto, the outcome
of which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Motient Material Adverse Effect; nor is
there any judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order of any Governmental Entity outstanding
against Motient having, or which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Motient Material
Adverse Effect.
Section 3.8 Compliance with Law. Motient has not violated any Laws and is in
compliance with all Laws, other than where such violation or noncompliance, individually or in the
aggregate, has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Motient Material Adverse
Effect. Motient has not received any notice to the effect that, or otherwise been advised that or
is aware that, Motient is not in such compliance with any Laws, and Motient has no knowledge that
any existing circumstances are reasonably likely to result in such violations of any Laws.

which are accrued or reserved against in Motient’s consolidated financial statements (or reflected
in the notes thereto) as of and for the period ended December 31, 2005 as included in the Motient
SEC Reports or which were incurred after December 31, 2005 in the ordinary course of business and
consistent with past practice, Motient has no liabilities or obligations (whether absolute,
accrued, contingent or otherwise) of a nature required by GAAP to be reflected in a balance sheet
(or reflected in the notes thereto) or
-11-
which have had or could reasonably be expected to have a Motient Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.10 No Default. As of the date of this Agreement, Motient is not in breach
or violation of, or in default under (and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time
or both would constitute such a breach, violation or default), any term, condition or provision of
(a) its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or (b) (x) any order, writ, decree, statute, rule
or regulation of any Governmental Entity applicable to Motient or any of its properties or assets
or (y) any agreement required to be filed as a “Material Contract” as an exhibit to Motient’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 or any periodic Exchange Act report
required to be filed since then (a “Motient Contract”), except in the case of this clause (b),
which breaches, violations or defaults, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and could
not reasonably be expected to have a Motient Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.11 Taxes. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Motient

all applicable extensions) and all such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all respects.

-12-
Section 3.12 Intellectual Property.
(a) Motient owns or holds licenses or otherwise has such rights to use, sell, license or
dispose of all of the intellectual property rights used in the conduct of the business of Motient
as currently conducted, with such exceptions as individually or in the aggregate have not had and
could not reasonably be expected to have a Motient Material Adverse Effect.
(b) With such exceptions as individually or in the aggregate have not had and could not
reasonably be expected to have a Motient Material Adverse Effect, (i) the operation of Motient’s
business and the manufacture, marketing, use, sale, licensure or disposition of any Intellectual
Property in the manner currently used, sold, licensed or disposed of by Motient does not and will
not infringe on the proprietary rights of any person, nor has such an infringement been alleged
within six years preceding the date of this Agreement (other than such as have been resolved); (ii)
there is no pending or threatened claim or litigation challenging or questioning the validity,
ownership or right to use, sell, license or dispose of any such Intellectual Property in the manner
in which currently used, sold, licensed or disposed of by Motient, nor is there a valid basis for
any such claim or litigation, nor has Motient received any notice asserting that the proposed
operation of Motient’s business or the use, sale, license or disposition by Motient of any of the
Intellectual Property of Motient conflicts or will conflict with the rights of any other party, nor
is there a valid basis for any such assertion in each case; and (iii) none of the Intellectual
Property used in the conduct of the business of Motient as currently conducted is being infringed
by any person and Motient has not asserted any claim of infringement, misappropriation or misuse
within the past six years.
Section 3.13 Permits. Motient has, and is in compliance with, all Motient Permits
required to conduct its business as now being conducted, except any such Motient Permit the absence
of which, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and could not reasonably be expected to
have a Motient Material Adverse Effect (“Motient Material Permits”). All Motient Material Permits
are valid and in full force and effect. There is not now pending, or to the knowledge of Motient,
threatened, any action by any person or by or before any Governmental Entity to revoke, cancel,
rescind, modify or refuse to renew any Motient Material Permits and, other than as set forth on
Schedule 3.13 of the Motient Disclosure Schedule, there exist no facts or circumstances
that would reasonably be expected to give rise to such action. “Motient Permits” means all
licenses, permits, franchises, approvals, authorizations, certificates, registrations, consents or
orders of, or filings with, any Governmental Entity used or held for use in the operation of
Motient’s business and all other rights and privileges granted by a Governmental Entity necessary
to allow Motient to own and operate its business without any violation of law.
-13-
Section 3.14 Contracts. All Motient Contracts that are material to the business or
operations of Motient taken as a whole have been filed as exhibits to Motient’s Annual Report on
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 or any periodic Exchange Act report required to be filed
since then, are valid and binding obligations of Motient, and, to the knowledge of Motient, the
valid and binding obligation of each other party thereto, except such Motient Contracts that, if
not so valid and binding, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and could not reasonably
be expected to have a Motient Material Adverse Effect. Neither Motient nor, to the knowledge of
Motient, any other party thereto, is in violation of or in default in respect of, nor has there
occurred an event or condition, that with the passage of time or giving of notice (or both), would
constitute a default under or permit the termination of, any such Motient Contract except such
violations or defaults under or terminations that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had
and could not reasonably be expected to have a Motient Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.15 Insurance. Motient’s insurance policies are in all respects in full
force and effect in accordance with their terms, no notice of cancellation has been received, and
there is no existing default or event that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute a default thereunder. Motient has made available to BCE true and correct copies of
all insurance policies maintained by Motient as of the date of this Agreement.
Section 3.16 Ownership of TerreStar Common Stock. As of the date hereof, Motient and
its subsidiaries own an aggregate of not less than 19,551,697 shares of TerreStar common stock and
immediately prior to the Closing Motient and its subsidiaries will own not less than 19,551,697
shares of TerreStar common stock (in each case as appropriately adjusted for any stock split,
combination, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock distribution
or similar event with respect to the TerreStar common stock that is declared or effected prior to
the Closing).
Section 3.17 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The TerreStar Shares to be
transferred to Motient will be 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 the same except in compliance with applicable
securities laws.
Section 3.18 Reliance Upon Motient’s Representations. Motient understands that
TerreStar Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act and the sale provided for in this
Agreement will be made in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act,
and that, in such case, BCE’s reliance on such exemption will be based on Motient’s and Sub’s
representations set forth herein.
-14-
Section 3.19 Receipt of Information. Motient and Sub believe that they have received
all the information they consider necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the
TerreStar Shares. Motient further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and
receive answers from BCE regarding the terms and conditions of the TerreStar Shares and the
business and financial condition of TerreStar and to obtain additional information (to the extent
BCE 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 BCE in this
Agreement or the right of Motient to rely upon such representations or warranties. Motient has not
received, nor is it relying on, any representations from BCE, other than as provided herein.
Section 3.20 Investor Status; etc. Motient and Sub each certify and represent to BCE
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 TerreStar Shares. Motient’s
financial condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding the TerreStar 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 TerreStar so as to be able to
evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in TerreStar.
Section 3.21 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 3.22 Restricted Securities. Motient understands that the TerreStar 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
TerreStar Shares or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, such
TerreStar Shares must be held indefinitely. In particular, Motient is aware that such TerreStar
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 TerreStar.
Section 3.23 Issuances Exempt. Assuming the truth and accuracy of the representations
and warranties of BCE contained in Article II hereof, the offer, sale, and issuance of the Motient
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.
-15-
Section 3.24 No Integrated Offering. Neither Motient, nor any of its affiliates or
any other person acting on Motient’s behalf, has directly or indirectly engaged in any form of
general solicitation or general advertising with respect to the Motient 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 Motient Shares under the Securities Act or
cause this offering of the Motient Shares to be integrated with any prior offering of securities of
Motient for purposes of the Securities Act.
Section 3.25 Title to SkyTerra Shares. If the Closing is a Late Closing, then (a)
Motient will, as of the Closing Date, own, of record and beneficially, the SkyTerra Shares free and
clear of any and all Liens of any kind, other than pursuant to Securities Law Encumbrances and (b)
upon the Closing, BCE or its designee shall be vested with good and valid title to the SkyTerra
Shares, free and clear of any Liens of any kind (other than Securities Law Encumbrances).
ARTICLE IV
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
Section 4.1 HSR Act and FCC Approval. To the extent not already completed as of the
date of this Agreement, 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 by Motient, except that the HSR
filing fee for BCE’s acquisition of Motient Shares shall be borne by BCE. 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
-16-
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

Section 4.2 Blue Sky Laws. Motient shall exercise its commercially reasonable best
efforts to register or qualify (or obtain an exemption from registration) the Motient 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 BCE shall reasonably request, such registration, qualification or exemption
to be obtained prior to the issuance and delivery to BCE of the Motient Shares in accordance with
this Agreement; provided, however, that, in the case of non-U.S. jurisdictions,
Motient 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).
Motient 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 Motient shall not fail to obtain such “blue sky” clearance in (i) more than five
such jurisdictions, (ii) Texas or (iii) New York; rather, those Motient Shares which may not be
lawfully delivered shall be held in trust by BCE 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 may not be lawfully delivered, then Motient shall
deliver such shares to the government agency or official responsible for administering the
securities or blue sky laws in such jurisdiction. BCE shall cooperate with and assist Motient in
connection with obtaining the “blue sky” clearance contemplated by this Section 4.2.
Section 4.3 Compliance with TerreStar Documents. 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 TerreStar’s
organizational documents and/or pursuant to the agreements between or among TerreStar’s
stockholders, including, without limitation, the TerreStar Documents (collectively, the “TerreStar

-17-
amend, the provisions of the TerreStar Investor Agreements relating to the sale of the
TerreStar Shares pursuant hereto.

to, or consummate, an Alternative Proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations
with, or provide any non-public information to, or afford any access to the properties, books or
records of TerreStar, or otherwise take any other action to assist, facilitate or undertake

purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), any Alternative Proposal, or (iii) acquire, of
record or beneficially, or have, by conversion, warrant, option or otherwise, any right or interest
in or any agreement to acquire any shares of TerreStar common stock, other than the TerreStar

the date hereof until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the 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, and
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 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. The parties shall each cooperate with
each other and use (and shall cause their respective subsidiaries to use)

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.

INDEMNIFICATION
Section 7.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The warranties,
representations, covenants and agreements of BCE, Motient and Sub contained in this
-22-
Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing for a
period of twelve (12) months (the “Survival Period”), and shall in no way be affected by any
investigation of the subject matter thereof made by any party hereto.
Section 7.2 Obligation to Indemnify.
(a) BCE’s Obligation to Indemnify. From and after the Closing, BCE 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 BCE contained in the 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 BCE contained in this Agreement.
(b) Motient’s Obligation to Indemnify. From and after the Closing Date, Motient and
Sub, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless BCE and its officers,
directors, stockholders, managers, partners, members, employees, agents and affiliates (each, a
“BCE 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 (defined below) shall not be required to indemnify an Indemnified Party (defined below)
pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b), as applicable, unless and until the
amount of all Losses incurred by such Indemnified Party exceeds $1,000,000 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,
however, that the limitation set forth in this Section 7.2(c) shall not apply to
Losses resulting from a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.2,
2.10, 3.2(b) or 3.21.
Section 7.3 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
-23-
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 7.4 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 7.4(b),
render payment to the Indemnified Party for all Losses resulting from such claim, subject to the
provisions of Section 7.5.
Section 7.4 Notices and Payments.
With respect to each separate matter which is subject to indemnification under this
Article VII (each, an “Indemnification Matter”):
-24-
(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 7.3; 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 VII with respect to such indemnification matter,
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.5 .
Section 7.5 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 7.2(a) hereof with respect to the
Closing shall be limited to the value of the Motient Shares 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.
(b) BCE Indemnitee Indemnification Limit. Except in the case of fraud or
where specific performance is sought, the maximum amount all BCE Indemnitees may recover in the
aggregate pursuant to the indemnity set forth in Section 7.2(b) hereof with respect to the
Closing shall be limited to the value of the Motient Shares 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.

however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause (ii)
shall not be available to a party whose failure or whose affiliate’s failure to perform or
observe in any material respect any of its obligations under this Agreement in any manner
shall have been the principal cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or before
such date;
(iii) at the election of Motient, if there has been a material breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of BCE contained in this
Agreement, which breach has not been cured within fifteen (15) days of notice to BCE of

(iv) at the election of BCE, if there has been a material breach of any

Section 8.1(i), or Section 8.1(ii) and (b) nothing shall relieve any of the parties
from liability for actual damages resulting from a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant
or agreement which gave rise to a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
8.1(iii) or 8 .1(iv) .
Section 8.3 Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Motient-TMI

delivered (by facsimile or otherwise) to the other parties.
Section 8.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of
laws thereof.
Section 8.6 Notices. Any notices, reports or other correspondence (hereinafter
collectively referred to as “correspondence”) required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be
given in writing and shall be deemed given three business days after the date sent by certified or

Section 8.9 Entire Agreement; Non-Assignability; Parties in Interest. This Agreement
and the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or therein
or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, including the Exhibits and the Motient Disclosure

enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought in any federal or state court
located in the County and State of New York, and each of the parties hereby consents to the
exclusive jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any
such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the exclusive venue of any such suit,
action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought
in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or
proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the
