	Re:	Receipt Lease Prepayment and Acknowledgement of Prepayment Terms 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 

Reference is hereby made to (i) that certain Exclusivity Agreement (the “Exclusivity Agreement”), dated as of the
date hereof, by and among TerreStar Corporation (“TerreStar”), TerreStar Networks Inc. (“Networks” and together with TerreStar, the “Company”), Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd.
(“Harbinger Master Fund”), Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, LP (“Harbinger Special Situations Fund”), and HGW Holding Company, L.P. (together with Harbinger Master Fund and Harbinger Special
Situations Fund, “Harbinger”) and (ii) that certain Spectrum Manager Lease Agreement (the “Lease Agreement”), dated September 17, 2009, as amended October 9, 2009, by and among TerreStar,
TerreStar’s subsidiary TerreStar 1.4 Holdings, LLC (“Lessor”), and Harbinger’s affiliate One Dot Four Corp. (“Lessee”). 

Subject to the terms of this letter agreement and the Exclusivity Agreement, contemporaneously with the execution of this letter
agreement and the Exclusivity Agreement, Lessee is pre-paying, and Harbinger is causing Lessee to pre-pay, $30,000,000 (the “Prepayment”) of the amount that may become due and payable by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to the Lease
Agreement. Lessee is not obligated to make the Prepayment pursuant to the Lease Agreement. Lessee would not be willing to pre-pay all or any portion of the Prepayment in the absence of the Exclusivity Agreement, and Harbinger would not be willing to
make all or any portion of the Prepayment funds available to Lessee or cause Lessee to make all or any portion of the Prepayment in the absence of the Exclusivity Agreement. The Prepayment is good and sufficient consideration for the Company’s
execution of the Exclusivity Agreement. 
 The Prepayment shall be applied as a credit in full on account toward payments to
Lessor that Lessee may become obligated to pay pursuant to the Lease Agreement. In the event (a) the Lease Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms at any time when any portion of the $30,000,000 Prepayment remains as prepayment of
payment obligations that would otherwise not 

 
have become due and payable as of the date of such termination, (b) the Company or any of its affiliates (other than Harbinger) terminates the Exclusivity Agreement prior to the Termination
Date (as defined in the Exclusivity Agreement), (c) the Company or any of its affiliates (other than Harbinger) breaches the Exclusivity Agreement in any material respect, (d) the Company does not obtain, or is unable to obtain, the
consents necessary to enter into and effect the Spectrum Pooling Agreement referenced in the Exclusivity Agreement, or (e) the Company or its subsidiaries does not have, or ceases to have, rights to all or substantially all of the S-band
Spectrum (as defined in the Exclusivity Agreement), the remaining unamortized portion of the Prepayment that would not otherwise have been paid as of the date of such triggering event shall be refunded in full to Lessee. 

Please acknowledge your consent to and agreement with the foregoing by signing the acknowledgement and agreement below. By signing below,
each of the signatories acknowledges receipt of the full $30,000,000 Prepayment and agrees to the terms of this letter agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions regarding the repayment obligations set forth in the immediately
preceding paragraph.

EXECUTION COPY 

Exclusivity Agreement 

This Exclusivity Agreement (this “Agreement”) dated January 26, 2010 is among TerreStar Corporation
(“TerreStar”), TerreStar Networks Inc. (“Networks” and together with TerreStar, the “Company”), Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. (“Harbinger Master Fund”), Harbinger
Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, LP (“Harbinger Special Situations Fund”), and HGW Holding Company, L.P. (together with Harbinger Master Fund and Harbinger Special Situations Fund, “Harbinger”). 

Background 

The Company and Harbinger desire to enter into negotiations regarding certain transactions (the “Proposed Transaction”)
described in that certain draft term sheet attached hereto (the “Term Sheet”). 
 TerreStar, TerreStar’s
subsidiary TerreStar 1.4 Holdings, LLC (“Lessor”), and Harbinger’s affiliate One Dot Four Corp. (“Lessee”) entered into that certain Spectrum Manager Lease Agreement, dated September 17, 2009, as amended
October 9, 2009 (the “Lease Agreement”). Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, and in consideration of TerreStar entering into this Agreement, Harbinger is causing Lessee to pre-pay Lessor $30,000,000 (the
“Prepayment”) of Lease Agreement payments that Lessee would not otherwise be obligated to pay at this time, which payments will benefit the Company. Lessee is obtaining the funds from Harbinger. Harbinger would not make the
Prepayment funds available or cause Lessee to make the Prepayment in the absence of this Agreement, and Lessee would not be willing to make the Prepayment in the absence of this Agreement. 

Negotiation of the Proposed Transaction and the associated due diligence have involved and will continue to require a significant
allocation of Harbinger resources. 
 In order to induce Lessee to make the Prepayment and in order to induce Harbinger to cause
Lessee to make the Prepayment and to continue to allocate resources to the negotiation of the Proposed Transaction, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement. 

Therefore, the parties agree as follows: 

1. Negotiations. For the period from the date hereof through April 26, 2010 (or such later date as the parties may agree, the
“Termination Date”), the Company will, and will cause the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Controlled Subsidiaries”) to diligently engage in good faith negotiations with respect to
the Proposed Transaction. 
 2. Alternative Transactions. 

(a) For the period from the date hereof through the Termination Date, the Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its
affiliates, or any of the representatives or employees of or advisors to the Company or any of its affiliates to, directly or indirectly, take any 

 Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit and such portions have been
filed separately with the Commission. The copy filed herewith omits the information for which confidential treatment has been requested and replaces it with [***]. 
  

 
action to (i) encourage, entertain, solicit, facilitate or initiate the submission of any Alternative Transaction Proposal, (ii) enter into any written or oral agreement for or relating
to a Third Party Transaction (as hereinafter defined), or (iii) participate in any way in discussions or negotiations with, or furnish any non-public information to, any person in connection with any Alternative Transaction Proposal. The
Company shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of its affiliates or any of their respective representatives or advisors. The Company will immediately communicate to Harbinger the receipt of any third party solicitation,
proposal or inquiry that the Company, its affiliates or any of their respective representatives or advisors may receive in respect of any Third Party Transaction, or of any request for such information, including in each case the material terms of
any such third party solicitation, proposal or bona fide inquiry. 
 (b) “Alternative Transaction
Proposal” means any proposed Third Party Transaction. “Third Party Transaction” means an Alternative Transaction with a party other than Harbinger or an affiliate of Harbinger. “Alternative Transaction”
means, except for any Proposed Transaction, any transaction that would grant any third party rights with respect to, or take or fail to take any other action with respect to, the S-band Spectrum (as defined in the Term Sheet) that would interfere
with or obstruct the use of the S-band Spectrum by Harbinger or otherwise make it unavailable for use by Harbinger or limit the ability of the Company or Harbinger to enter into the Proposed Transaction. 

3. No Conflict. Each party represents and warrants to the other that the first party’s entry into this Agreement does not
violate any contract, order, judgment, law or regulation binding on it, or result in any material change in its right against or obligation to any third party. 

4. Access. So long as negotiations are continuing, the Company will make records in its possession or control, and relevant
personnel of the Company, its accountants and its advisors, available to Harbinger and its officers, employees, affiliates, managers, partners, agents and advisors (including, without limitation, accountants, attorneys, consultants, financial
advisors and bankers) as Harbinger reasonably requests in connection with Harbinger’s due diligence, in accordance with the terms of that certain Confidentiality Agreement, dated December 22, 2009 (the “Confidentiality
Agreement”), by and among the Company, Harbinger Master Fund, and Harbinger Special Situations Fund. 
 5.
Confidentiality, Publicity. The existence and terms of this Agreement, the Term Sheet and of the discussions between the parties as to the Proposed Transaction are to remain confidential, except as disclosure of its contents is required by
applicable law, regulatory authority or stock exchange listing agreement; provided, however, the Term Sheet shall not be disclosed to the public in any event. In the event a party hereto or any of its representatives is required by applicable law,
regulatory authority or stock exchange listing agreement to disclose any of such information, such party will (a) promptly notify the other party prior to any such disclosure, (b) reasonably accept the other party’s revisions to the
proposed disclosure and (c) cooperate with the other party in any attempt it may make to obtain a protective order or other appropriate assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded the applicable information. Each party agrees that it
will treat the existence and terms of this Agreement and of such discussions with the same care as it would take to preserve the confidentiality of its own confidential information. Prior to the execution of definitive agreements among the
parties regarding the Proposed Transaction, neither party will make any announcement to the public, to third parties, or to its respective employees

concerning the Proposed Transaction without prior consultation with, and the approval of, the other party, which may be withheld in its discretion. This Section 5 will not preclude any of
the parties hereto from complying with legal or regulatory requirements applicable to it. If any party believes that it is subject to such a requirement, it will give the other parties prompt prior notice thereof prior to disclosing the information
in question. The provisions of this Section 5 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, or any other confidentiality agreement among the parties. 

6. Fees and Expenses. Each Party to this Agreement will pay all of its own expenses incurred in connection with the Proposed
Transaction, whether or not the Proposed Transaction is entered into or consummated. 
 7. General. 

(a) Binding and Non-Binding Provisions. Except for the express obligations set forth in this Agreement, which are intended to be
legally binding, this Agreement does not create any legally binding obligation with respect to the Proposed Transaction itself or as to anything preliminary thereto. No term sheet or other document, or any act or course of dealing, other than a
writing signed by both parties that expressly states that it is intended to be legally binding, shall create any legally binding obligations. This Section 7(a) sets forth the complete understanding of the parties as to the legal status of this
Agreement and any such other document, act or course of dealing. 
 (b) Modifications. This Agreement may not be
modified, supplemented or waived except by an instrument in writing expressly to that effect signed by the party against whom such modification, supplement or waiver is asserted. Any such waiver will apply only to the specific instance set forth in
such writing. 
 (c) Assignment. All rights and obligations of Harbinger under this Agreement may be freely assigned or
otherwise transferred by Harbinger to any affiliate of Harbinger. This Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by the Company. 

(d) Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be exclusively governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the
State of New York without regard to its rules of conflicts of laws. 
 (e) Equitable Relief. The parties agree that
monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by the Company and that Harbinger shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for such breaches. Such remedy
shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for a breach by the Company of this Agreement but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to Harbinger. 

(f) Descriptive Headings; Construction. The descriptive headings contained herein are for convenience of reference only and shall
not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied
against any party.

 (g) Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute but one agreement. 

(h) Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the Termination Date, provided, however that Sections 5 – 7 shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and continue in full force and effect according to their terms. Harbinger may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the Termination Date to an earlier date.
