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 Exchange Agreement”), dated as of May 6, 2006, by and among

-A1-

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”.

(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

-2-

and valid title to the 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) 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

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 Closing set

-3-

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 required

-4-

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 und er (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 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.

-5-

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 Securities Act or an exemption therefrom,

-6-

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.

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 this Agreement or for Motient or Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This 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 3.5

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 to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,

-9-

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 defined in 17 CFR Part 205) to Motient’s board of directors or any committee thereof or to any director or officer of Motient.

-10-

Section 3.6 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as set forth in the Motient SEC Reports filed prior to the date of this Agreement or as set forth on Schedule 3.6 of the Motient Disclosure Schedule, since December 31, 2005, (i) Motient has conducted its business and 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 Adver s e 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).

Section 3.7 Litigation. Except for litigation disclosed in the notes to the audited 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.

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.

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 t ime 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 warra n ties. 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).

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

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

-16-

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 opport unity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences.

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 Investor Agreements”).

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 notify the

-23-

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 m ay 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.

(i) at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, by mutual written consent of Motient and BCE;

(ii) at the election of Motient or BCE by written notice to the other parties hereto after 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the date which is six months after the date BCE executes and delivers this Agreement to Motient, if the Closing shall not have occurred, unless such date is extended by the mutual written consent of Motient and BCE; provided, 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 such breach; or

If this Agreement is terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated as described above, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions of this Section 8.2 and Sections 8.3 through 8 .16 (inclusive); provided, however, that (a) none of the parties hereto shall have any liability in respect of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to 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 Delaware Letter Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or therein.

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 Schedule: (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, including, without limitation, the Letter of Intent dated September 22, 2005, between Motient, SkyTerra Communications, Inc., TMI Delaware and the Other MSV Shareholders (as defined in such Letter of Intent); (b) are not intended to confer upon any other person (except the Motient Indemnitees and the BCE Indemnitees) any rights or remedies hereunder and (c) shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise except as otherwise specifically provided. Without limiting the foregoing, no party shall be deemed to have made any representation or warranty other than as expressly made herein.

Section 8.10 Headings. Headings of the Articles and Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of the parties only, and shall be given no substantive or interpretive effect whatsoever.

Section 8.11 Certain Definitions.

References in this Agreement (except as specifically otherwise defined) to “affiliates” shall mean, as to any person, any other person which, directly or indirectly, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such person. As used in this definition, “control” (including, with its correlative meanings, “controlled by” and “under common control with”) shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct

or cause the direction of management or policies of a person, whether through the ownership of securities or partnership of other ownership interests, by contract or otherwise. References in the Agreement to “person” shall mean an individual, a corporation, a partnership, an association, a trust or any other entity or organization, including, without limitation, a Governmental Entity. “Antitrust Laws” means the HSR Act, the Xxxxxxx Act, as amended, the Xxxxxxx Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other United States federal or state or foreign statutes, rules, regulations, orders, decrees, administrative or judicial doctrines or other laws that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade.

Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 8.6 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.
