RECITALS
 
The Company and the Investor have entered into that certain Master Contribution
and Support Agreement, dated as of July 24, 2008, among the Company, the
Investor, Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd., Harbinger Capital
Partners Special Situations Fund, LP and Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary
LLC (the “MCSA”);

The MCSA provides that that the parties hereto shall enter into this Agreement
pursuant to which the Company shall sell to the Investor, and the Investor shall
purchase from the Company, shares of the Company’s voting common stock, par
value $0.01 per share (the “Voting Common Stock”) on the terms and subject to
the conditions as set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, mutual covenants and
agreements hereinafter contained and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE I
ISSUANCE OF SHARES
 
1.1    Purchase and Sale of Shares.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Investor agrees to purchase at the Closing, and the Company
agrees to sell and issue to the Investor at the Closing, free and clear of any
and all Encumbrances, that number of shares of Voting Common Stock (the
“Purchased Shares”) equal to (x) the Cash Purchase Price (as hereinafter
defined) divided by (y) the Agreed Issue Price.  On the Closing Date, the
Investor shall pay to the Company an amount in cash equal to the Cash Purchase
Price, which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds into
an account designated in writing by the Company not less than three Business
Days prior to the Closing Date and concurrently therewith, the Company shall
issue and deliver to the Investor the Purchased Shares.
 
For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except as otherwise provided in Section 1.2,
the “Cash Purchase Price” shall equal up to the greater of (i) USD$2,400,000,000
or (ii) such other amount as the Investor may determine, in either case minus
the aggregate gross proceeds of the Financing Rights Offering to the extent such
amount is received prior to Closing, and (b) subject to adjustment as provided
in Section 1.3, the price per share of Voting Common Stock (the “Agreed Issue
Price”) shall equal the product of (i) USD$10.00, multiplied by (ii) a fraction,
(A) the numerator of which shall be the Target Offer Price and (B) the
denominator of which shall be 535.3p.
 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
1.2    Notification of Cash Purchase Price.  The Investor shall notify the
Company of the Cash Purchase Price pursuant to a Notification and, if
applicable, an Amendment Notification, delivered in accordance with the terms of
the MCSA.  In the event that the Investor determines (having taken into account
the amount of available Debt Financing, as defined in and pursuant to the MCSA),
that less cash is required to pay the Firm Offer Costs, the Investor shall have
the right to reduce the Cash Purchase Price and shall notify the Company of such
reduction by Notification or Amendment Notification, as applicable.

1.3    Adjustment of Agreed Issue Price.  The Agreed Issue Price shall be
equitably adjusted to reflect any changes to the Company's capital structure
that may occur between the date hereof and the Closing, provided, however, that
no such adjustment shall be made for any shares of Common Stock issued by the
Company to Harbinger in exchange for the Contribution Assets, the Sponsor Fee
Shares and any warrants granted to Harbinger pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement. Such changes to the Company's capital structure may include, but are
not limited to, stock consolidations, stock splits, interim rights offerings,
non-cash distributions, spin-offs, reclassifications, schemes of arrangements,
payments of cash dividends or other similar transactions.

1.4    Use of Proceeds.  The Company agrees that the net proceeds from the
purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares shall be used solely to pay the Firm
Offer Costs.
 
ARTICLE II
CLOSING

2.1    Closing.  The closing of the transactions described in Section 1.1 (the
“Closing”) will take place at the offices of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, 767
Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10153 on the date (the “Closing Date”) that is three
(3) Business Days after Completion or at such other time and place as the
Company and the Investor mutually agree in writing.

2.2    Certificates.  At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Investor
certificates representing the Purchased Shares, issued in the name of the
Investor or its nominee and otherwise sufficient to transfer the Purchased
Shares to the Investor free and clear of all Encumbrances arising out of any act
of the Company.
 
ARTICLE III
CLOSING CONDITION
 
3.1    Condition Precedent to the Obligations of the Investor and the
Company.  The obligations of each of the Investor and the Company to consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are subject to the occurrence of
the Completion.
 
ARTICLE IV
INVESTOR REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
The Investor hereby makes the following representations and warranties as of the
date hereof:
 
 
2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
4.1    Purchase Entirely for Own Account.  Except insofar as rights are
conferred on any other participants of the Investor under the rules of that
fund, (i) the Investor is acquiring the Purchased Shares for its own account for
investment and not for the account of any other Person or with a view to any
resale, fractionalization, division, or distribution thereof in a manner that
would require registration thereof under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), and the Investor presently has no reason to anticipate
any change in its circumstances or other particular occasion or event which
would cause it to sell the Purchased Shares other than in compliance with the
requirements of the Securities Act; and (ii) the Investor has no contract,
undertaking, agreement, understanding or arrangement with any Person to sell,
transfer, or pledge to any Person any part or all of the Purchased Shares which
the Investor is acquiring, or any interest therein, and has no present plans to
enter into the same.  The Purchased Shares were not offered or sold to the
Investor by means of any general solicitation or general advertisement.
 
4.2    Investor Status; Etc.  The Investor certifies and represents to the
Company that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.  The Investor has adequate
means of providing for its current needs and personal contingencies, has no need
now, and anticipates no need in the foreseeable future, to sell the Purchased
Shares, and currently has sufficient net worth and financial liquidity to afford
a complete loss of its investment in the Company.  The Investor has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so that it is capable
of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and has made
such evaluation.  The Investor fully understands that the Purchased Shares are
speculative investments which involve a high degree of risk of loss of the
Investor’s entire investment.  No Person or entity, other than the Company or
its authorized representatives, has offered the Purchased Shares to the
Investor.  The Investor is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in
the Purchased Shares.
 
4.3    Securities Not Registered. The Investor understands that Purchased Shares
have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of their issuance by
the Company in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, and that the Purchased Shares must continue to be held by the
Investor unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the
Securities Act or is exempt from such registration. The Investor understands
that the exemptions from registration afforded by Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act (the provisions of which are known to it) depend on the
satisfaction of various conditions, and that, if applicable, Rule 144 may afford
the basis for sales only in limited amounts.  The Investor has had an
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the management and
authorized representatives of the Company, and to review any other relevant
documents and records concerning the business of the Company and the terms and
conditions of this investment, and that any such questions have been answered to
the Investor’s satisfaction.  The Investor understands that no federal or state
agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of an
investment in the Purchased Shares.
 
ARTICLE V
TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS
 
5.1    Restrictions on Transfers.  Purchased Shares shall not be transferred,
sold, assigned, exchanged, mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise
disposed of or encumbered without compliance with, and they are otherwise
restricted by, the provisions of the
 
 
3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
Securities Act, the rules and regulations thereunder and this Agreement.  Each
certificate, if any, evidencing such Purchased Shares issued upon any such
Transfer, other than in a public offering pursuant to an effective registration
statement, shall bear the restrictive legend set forth in Section 5.2(a), unless
the Holder thereof delivers to the Company an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that such legend is not required for the purposes of compliance with the
Securities Act.  Holders of Purchased Shares shall not be entitled to Transfer
such Purchased Shares except in accordance with this Article V.
 
5.2    Restrictive Legends.
 
(a)    Each certificate for the Purchased Shares shall be stamped or otherwise
imprinted with two legends in substantially the following forms:  "THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFER UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND STATE SECURITIES
LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS (I) REGISTERED UNDER THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS
OR (II) SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, AND AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH OPINION IS REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO THE COMPANY AND SUCH OPINION
STATES THAT THE SECURITIES MAY BE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT SUCH REGISTRATION."
 
(b)    The legend requirements of Section 5.2(a) shall terminate as to any
certificate for Purchased Shares when the Company shall have received from the
holder thereof an opinion of counsel to the effect that such legend is not
required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act, and the holder
of such certificate for the Purchased Shares shall be entitled to receive from
the Company, at the expense of the Company, a new certificate for the Purchased
Shares without the legend provided for in Section 5.2(a).
 
(c)    All certificates for Purchased Shares issued upon registration of
transfer, division or combination of, or in substitution for, any other
certificates for Purchased Shares entitled to bear the legend provided for in
Section 5.2(a) shall have a similar legend endorsed thereon.
