Blocker Corporation’s financial condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding the SkyTerra Shares for an indefinite period of time and the risk of loss of its entire investment.

The rights to receive shares of common stock of TerreStar Networks Inc. (the “Rights Certificates”) previously owned by Blocker Corporation were distributed out of Blocker Corporation on February 17, 2005, and the distribution of such Rights Certificates was not in contemplation of the sale and transfer of the MSV Interests pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.11                                Title 11. Blocker Corporation is not under the jurisdiction of a court in a Title 11 or similar case within the meaning of Section 368(a)(3)(A) of the Code.

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

They may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of a registration statement in effect with respect to the securities under such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to SkyTerra Communications, Inc. that such registration is not required.”

SkyTerra has, and is in compliance with, all Permits required to conduct its business as now being conducted, except any such SkyTerra Permit the absence of which, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a SkyTerra Material Adverse Effect (“SkyTerra Material Permits”). All SkyTerra Material Permits are valid and in full force and effect.

Neither SkyTerra nor, to the knowledge of SkyTerra, 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 SkyTerra 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 SkyTerra Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.16                                Insurance. SkyTerra’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.

Section 3.18                                Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The MSV Interests to be transferred to SkyTerra will be acquired for investment for SkyTerra’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 SkyTerra has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same except in compliance with applicable securities laws.

Section 3.19                                Reliance Upon SkyTerra’s Representations. SkyTerra understands that MSV Interests will not be registered under the Securities Act and the sale provided for in this Agreement and Blocker Corporation’s transfer of securities hereunder will be made in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and that, in such case, Blocker Corporation’s reliance on such exemption will be based on SkyTerra’s representations set forth herein.

Section 3.20                                Receipt of Information. SkyTerra believes it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire MSV Interests. SkyTerra further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Blocker Corporation regarding the terms and conditions of the MSV Interests and the

15

business and financial condition of MSV and to obtain additional information (to the extent Blocker Corporation 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 Blocker Corporation in this Agreement or the right of SkyTerra to rely upon such representations or warranties. SkyTerra has not received, nor is it relying on, any representations or warranties from Blocker Corporation, other than as provided herein.

Section 3.21                                Investor Status; etc. SkyTerra certifies and represents to Blocker Corporation 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 MSV Interests. SkyTerra’s financial condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding the MSV Interests for an indefinite period of time and the risk of loss of its entire investment. SkyTerra has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to MSV so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in MSV.

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

Section 3.23                                Issuances Exempt. Assuming the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of Blocker Corporation and the Funds contained in Article II hereof, the offer, sale, and issuance of the SkyTerra Shares will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and will have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws, except as permitted pursuant to Section 4.2.

Section 3.24                                No Integrated Offering. Neither SkyTerra, nor any of its Affiliates or any other person acting on SkyTerra’s behalf, has directly or indirectly engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising with respect to the SkyTerra Shares nor have any of such persons made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require registration of the SkyTerra Shares under the Securities Act or cause this offering of SkyTerra Shares to be integrated with any prior offering of securities of SkyTerra for purposes of the Securities Act.

Section 3.25                                Motient Exchange Agreement. Pursuant to this Agreement, Blocker Corporation will receive the same exchange ratio of SkyTerra Shares for its MSV Interests as Motient will receive in the Motient Exchange Agreement, dated as of May 6, 2006 by and among Motient, Motient Ventures Holding Inc. and SkyTerra.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

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

Section 4.2                                      Blue Sky Laws. SkyTerra shall exercise its commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify (or obtain an exemption from registration) the SkyTerra Shares under the blue sky laws of the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and of the District of Columbia and such other jurisdictions as Blocker Corporation shall reasonably request; provided, however, that, in the case of non-U.S. jurisdictions,  SkyTerra will not be required to (a) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4.2, (b) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (c) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction). SkyTerra shall pay for all fees (including filing and application fees), costs and expenses in connection therewith. However,  the failure to obtain such “blue sky” clearance in each such jurisdiction shall not be a condition to closing and shall not prevent a Closing from occurring; provided, that SkyTerra shall not fail to obtain such “blue sky” clearance in (i) more than five such jurisdictions, (ii) Texas or (iii) New York; rather, those SkyTerra Shares which may not be lawfully delivered shall be held in

17

trust by Blocker Corporation or its nominee for the benefit of the stockholders of record otherwise entitled thereto until such time as they may be lawfully delivered. If, after the fifth anniversary of the Closing, such shares still may not be lawfully delivered, then SkyTerra shall deliver such shares to the government agency or official responsible for administering the securities or blue sky laws in such jurisdiction. Blocker Corporation, Columbia, MVH and Motient shall cooperate with and assist SkyTerra in connection with obtaining the “blue sky” clearance contemplated by this Section 4.2.

Section 4.3                                      Compliance with MSV Documents. (a)  The parties intend that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby be consistent with the conditions and restrictions applicable to the parties and/or their affiliates pursuant to MSV’s organizational documents and/or pursuant to the agreements between or among MSV’s limited partners or the stockholders of MSV GP, including, without limitation, the MSV Documents (collectively, the “MSV Investor Agreements”).

(b)    Blocker Corporation and SkyTerra shall each comply with the MSV ROFR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Transfer Notice (as defined in the MSV GP Stockholders Agreement) delivered by Blocker Corporation pursuant to the MSV ROFR shall state that the minimum amount of MSV LP Units SkyTerra is willing to accept pursuant to this Agreement is the number of MSV LP Units to be exchanged in accordance with this Agreement. If another party to the of the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement (the “MSV GP Stockholders Agreement”) of MSV GP, dated as of November 12, 2004, exercises its right of first refusal pursuant to Section 8.2(a) thereof, Blocker Corporation shall not be required to exchange its MSV Interests for the SkyTerra Shares pursuant to the terms hereof to the extent of such exercise, and its obligations hereunder shall be terminated with respect to the MSV Interests purchased by such other party pursuant thereto. Further, if another party to the MSV GP Stockholders’ Agreement exercises its right of first refusal pursuant to Section 8.2(a) of the MSV GP Stockholders’ Agreement and SkyTerra then exercises any of its rights under such Section 8.2(a), any purchase of MSV Interests by SkyTerra shall be made pursuant to this Agreement regardless of any substitute terms provided pursuant to such Section 8.2(a).

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

(d)                       If any party to the MSV GP Stockholders Agreement exercises its right of first refusal pursuant to Section 8.2(a) of the MSV GP Stockholders’ Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by any other Transaction Exchange Agreement and the result of such exercise shall be that upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Exchange Agreements (to the extent such agreements have not been terminated as a result of such exercise), SkyTerra would not have the right to acquire 17,092,395.81 MSV LP Units, SkyTerra shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

18

(c)                        Blocker Corporation, Columbia, MVH and Motient and each of its respective officers and directors will not trade in the securities of SkyTerra prior to the earlier of (i) the Closing or (ii) the termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.6                                      Public Announcements. Except as may be required by applicable law, no party hereto shall make any public announcements or otherwise communicate with any news media with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, without prior consultation with the other parties as to the timing and contents of any such announcement or communications; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent any party from promptly making all filings with any Governmental Entity or disclosures with the stock exchange, if any, on which such party’s capital stock is listed, as may, in its judgment, be required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 4.7                                      Prohibited Actions; Appropriate Adjustments

(a)                        From the date hereof through the Closing, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, without obtaining the prior written consent of Blocker Corporation, SkyTerra shall not set any record date with respect to any dividend or declare or pay any dividend, either in cash, securities or otherwise, on any shares of its capital stock (other than required dividends to the holders of SkyTerra Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms thereof), repurchase any shares of its capital stock, make any distributions to the holders of its capital stock (other than regular dividends to the holders of SkyTerra Preferred Stock) or take any other similar action.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, SkyTerra shall be permitted to enter into and consummate transactions (including the issuance of shares of SkyTerra Common Stock) with TMI Communications and Company, LP (“TMI”) and/or MSV’s directors, management and employees to acquire, directly or indirectly, their MSV LP Units and MSV GP Shares or options to acquire such securities;

20

provided that the terms and conditions of such transactions (including the exchange ratios) shall be no more favorable to TMI and/or MSV’s directors, management and employees than those applicable to Blocker Corporation in this Agreement.

(i)   Motient and/or MVH, as applicable, will cause all such shares held by them (or any subsidiary of either) to be voted at any meeting of stockholders and in connection with any action by written consent, pro rata with all other votes cast at such meeting (or by written consent) by holders of SkyTerra Common Stock; and

(ii)   If Motient and/or MVH, as applicable, has not sold, distributed or otherwise disposed all such SkyTerra Shares in accordance with Section 5.1 of the Registration Rights Agreement, other than to a subsidiary of Motient or an entity of which Motient is a subsidiary, within 60 days following the Acquired Share Distribution, such SkyTerra Shares held by Motient or MVH (or a subsidiary of either), as applicable, shall be automatically exchanged for SkyTerra Non-Voting Common Stock on a one-for-one basis (in each case as appropriately adjusted for any stock split, combination, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock distribution or similar event declared or effected after the issuance of such SkyTerra Shares being exchanged).

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

(b)        With respect to each Indemnification Matter (as defined below), the Indemnified Parties will have the sole right and authority to control the defense against any Third Party Claim with one counsel of their collective choice. This right shall include the right to settle or resolve the Third Party Claim by entering into an agreement memorializing the terms of settlement or resolution (a “Settlement Agreement”), provided however, that the Indemnified Party provides the Indemnifying Party with notice (in accordance with Section 7.4 hereof) of its

26

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”):

(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)        The Funds’ Indemnitee Indemnification Limit. Except in the case of fraud or where specific performance is sought, the maximum amount all Blocker Corporation Indemnitees may recover in the aggregate pursuant to the indemnity set forth in Section 7.2(a) hereof with respect to a Closing shall be limited to the value of the SkyTerra Shares based on the
