(j)         LeaseCo Financial Statements. Harbinger has delivered to the Company the unaudited consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income of LeaseCo as of December 31, 2007 (the "LeaseCo Financial Statements"). The LeaseCo Financial Statements are accurate and complete in all material respects as at December 31, 2007 and were prepared from the books and records of LeaseCo as at that date. The LeaseCo Financial Statements and any notes related thereto fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and the results of operations of LeaseCo at December 31, 2007 and for the periods referred to in such financial statements. Since December 31, 2007, no event has occurred that has had or is likely to have a material adverse effect on LeaseCo's rights to use the TVCC Spectrum License, other than a material adverse effect that results from conditions generally affecting the industry in which LeaseCo principally operates, or from changes in law, regulation or policy (including, without limitation, FCC Rules and policies) generally affecting similarly situated FCC licensees or lessees in the wireless communications industry or general economic, political or market conditions.
 
(k)         Taxes. LeaseCo has prepared and filed with all appropriate Governmental Entities all material Tax Returns by the Tax date such Tax Returns were due to be filed (after giving effect to extensions timely filed), and all such Tax Returns are correct and complete in all material respects. LeaseCo has paid in full all Taxes due and payable, whether or not shown on such Tax Returns, or has made adequate provisions for all material Taxes on the latest balance sheet date included in the LeaseCo Financial Statements. No examination or audit of any Tax Return relating to any Taxes of LeaseCo or with respect to any Taxes due from or with respect to LeaseCo by any Taxing Authority is currently in progress and no written notice thereof has been received. No assessment of Tax has been proposed in writing against LeaseCo or any of its assets or properties. There are no outstanding agreements, waivers or arrangements extending the statutory period of limitation applicable to any claim for, or the period for the collection or assessment of, Taxes due from or with respect to LeaseCo for any Taxable period. LeaseCo has always been classified as a partnership or a disregarded entity, and not as a corporation, for US federal income tax purposes and for purposes of all applicable state and local income and franchise Taxes imposed on (or measured by) the net income of LeaseCo.
 
(l)           TVCC Lease.
 
(i)         LeaseCo has entered into the TVCC Lease, complete and accurate copies of which have been delivered to the Company. LeaseCo is qualified under the FCC Rules and the Communications Act to lease the TVCC Spectrum License and the FCC has consented to the TVCC Lease. There is no Order outstanding against LeaseCo relating to or involving the TVCC Spectrum License that will, or would reasonably be expected to, materially impair or otherwise materially and adversely affect LeaseCo's interest in the TVCC Spectrum License (other than Encumbrances that are imposed
 

 
37

 
 
generally by the FCC on all licenses and spectrum leases in the same class of service as the TVCC Spectrum License).
 
(ii)        LeaseCo has performed as of the date of this Agreement, and will have performed as of the TVCC Contribution Closing Date, all of its obligations required to have been performed under the TVCC Lease and applicable FCC rules and regulations regarding spectrum leasing ("FCC Spectrum Lease Rules"), except for those the non-performance of which would not have a TVCC Material Adverse Effect. No event has occurred or condition or state of facts exists that constitutes or, after notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a breach or default under the TVCC Lease or FCC Spectrum Lease Rules, which permits or, after notice or lapse of time or both, would permit revocation, cancellation, suspension or adverse modification of the TVCC Lease, or which might adversely affect the rights of LeaseCo under the TVCC Lease, except for those the occurrence of which would not have a TVCC Material Adverse Effect.
 
(iii)        As of the date hereof, LeaseCo has made all regulatory filings required, and paid all applicable fees and assessments imposed, with respect to the TVCC Lease by any Governmental Entity, including but not limited to FCC regulatory fees, Universal Service Fund contributions, Telecommunications Relay Service Fund contributions, and North American Numbering Plan fees, and all such filings and the calculation of such fees, are accurate in all material respects.

The Company or its Subsidiaries may amend or terminate any such plan at any time without incurring any liability thereunder other than in respect of claims incurred prior to such amendment or termination.

No Benefit Plan or other agreement provides any employee, director or other service provider of the Company or its Subsidiaries with any amount of additional compensation if such individual is provided amounts subject to excise or additional Taxes imposed under Sections 409A or 4999 of the Code.

Where it is not possible for Harbinger and/or the Company (or its Subsidiaries as the case may be) to make such filings, applications and notifications to the relevant Regulatory Authorities in order to seek formal regulatory consents, authorizations, approvals, permits or waivers, then Harbinger may, or may direct that it and/or the Company (or its Subsidiaries as the case may be) shall, commence any informal procedures which can be pursued with the relevant Regulatory Authorities until such time as formal regulatory consents, authorizations, approvals, permits or waivers can be sought from such relevant Regulatory Authorities.

This Agreement may be terminated upon notice by either the Company or Harbinger to the other (provided that no Party that is in material breach of this Agreement may terminate this Agreement hereunder) in the event that an Initial Agreed Regulatory Approval cannot be obtained on or before the Closing Date and the failure to so obtain such Initial Agreed Regulatory Approval would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the combined business of the Target and the Company. In the event that a Party decides to terminate the Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.8, such Party shall be required to notify the other Party, in writing, of its decision to terminate the Agreement. Prior to giving any such written notification, the terminating Party shall consult with the other Party with respect to its decision to terminate the Agreement.

Subject to Section 8.11, Harbinger shall have the right to determine, in its sole discretion, whether to waive any Regulatory Approvals, provided that Harbinger shall not be permitted to waive a Regulatory Approval without the Company's prior written consent if (i) failure to obtain such Regulatory Approval would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the combined business of the Target and the Company, or (ii) the matters specified in any of (i) to (iv) of Section 8.1 could not be consummated in the absence of obtaining the relevant Regulatory Approval without the Company breaching any applicable Laws.

OFFER SHARES
 
Section 10.1      Offer Shares. Harbinger may elect to implement the Proposal by way of Offer, and Harbinger may, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Article XIII, elect that all or part of the consideration for the Offer consists of Offer Shares. In connection with an Offer which includes Offer Shares, the Company shall file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the Offer Shares and the Offer (together with any amendments thereto, and including any documents incorporated by reference therein, the "Offer Shares Registration Statement"), within 60 days of a request in writing by Harbinger, provided, however, that if the Company requires additional time to prepare the financial information required to be included in the Offer Shares Registration Statement, such time shall be extended for a reasonable period to allow the Company to prepare the financial information required to be included therein. If Harbinger determines to make a request to the Company to file the Offer Shares Registration Statement, Harbinger shall make such request to the Company at least four (4) calendar months prior to the date that, in the good faith opinion of Harbinger, the Regulatory Approvals are likely to be obtained. The Company will cause the Offer Shares Registration Statement to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. In addition, the Company shall, upon no less than 60 days notice in writing from Harbinger submit a draft prospectus (the "Prospectus") to the FSA for approval in accordance with the Prospectus Rules, provided, however, that if the Company requires additional time to prepare the financial information required to be included in the Prospectus, such time shall be extended for a reasonable period to allow the Company to prepare the financial information required to be included therein. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to have the Offer Shares Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable following the filing of the Offer Shares Registration Statement and to have the Prospectus approved by the FSA in accordance with the Prospectus Rules as soon as reasonably practicable following submission of the Prospectus to the FSA. Harbinger and its counsel shall participate along with and shall co-operate in good faith with the Company and its counsel in the preparation of the Offer Shares Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and the Offer Shares Registration Statement shall only be filed, and the Prospectus shall only be submitted, with the consent of Harbinger, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
 

 
64

 

 
rendered subject to conditions, or delayed. Upon the SEC declaring the Offer Shares Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act (the "SEC Approval") and the FSA approving the Prospectus for the purpose of the Prospectus Rules (the "FSA Approval") the Company shall immediately notify Harbinger of such approval.
 
Section 10.2      Other Procedural Matters relating to the Offer Shares. The Company and its counsel shall take the lead in preparing and reviewing each letter or submission written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC, the staff of the SEC or the FSA (or other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction, including any domestic or foreign securities exchange), relating to the Offer Shares Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as applicable. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly respond to any and all comments received from the SEC or the FSA, with a view towards causing the Offer Shares Registration Statement or any amendment thereto to be declared effective by the SEC, and the Prospectus to be approved by the FSA, as soon as practicable. The Company shall not permit any officer, manager, broker or any other Person acting on behalf of the Company to use any free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) in connection with the Offer Shares Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement without the prior written consent of Harbinger, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. All expenses in relation to the Offer Shares Registration Statement and the Prospectus shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly make such other SEC and FSA filings and submissions as are necessary in connection with the use of Offer Shares as consideration for the Offer, including without limitation filings pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act, and requests for relief from the staff of the SEC or from the FSA in relation to any particular aspect of the Offer. Any filings, submissions, responses or other communications pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall only be made after consultation with Harbinger and its counsel. The Company shall ensure that Harbinger and its advisors are kept fully apprised of the status of any filings, submissions, responses or other communications pursuant to this Section 10.2, and shall consult Harbinger and its counsel with respect thereto. Harbinger and its counsel shall have the right to review and comment on each such filing, submission, response and other communication, and the Company shall take account any comments so received.
 
Section 10.3      Stock Exchange Listing and Legal Requirements. If Harbinger requests a listing of the Offer Shares on a stock exchange, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such listing, to the extent the consideration for the Firm Offer comprises Offer Shares (and for the avoidance of doubt regardless of whether the Firm Offer proceeds by way of a Scheme or an Offer). The Company shall, with such assistance from Harbinger as may be necessary for the purpose, comply with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements in connection with the issuance and listing of the Offer Shares. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Firm Offer proceeds by way of a Scheme which includes Offer Shares, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to perfect the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 3(a)(10) thereunder, and (ii) the Company, with such assistance from Harbinger as may be necessary for the purpose, shall comply with the Listing Rules, the Prospectus Rules, FSMA, and all applicable state securities or blue sky laws.

EQUITY FINANCING
 
Section 11.1      Funding of the Harbinger Satellite Fund. It is presently contemplated that the Harbinger Satellite Fund will be funded with a total of the Stock Purchase Price from a to-be-determined combination of Harbinger Master, Harbinger Special and third party investors. The Harbinger Satellite Fund shall retain the ability to change the composition of its investors at any time, provided that if, on the advice of its counsel, such new third party investors’ investment has an impact on the Regulatory Approvals pursuant to Article VIII then the Parties shall cooperate with each other to make such filings and notifications, or amendments to existing filings and notifications, with any relevant Competition Authorities or Regulatory Authorities, so as to obtain the relevant Regulatory Approvals, in accordance with Article VIII.
 
Section 11.2      Harbinger Purchased Shares.
 
(a)         Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Article VIII, concurrent with the delivery of a Notification in accordance with Article XIII, the Harbinger Satellite Fund shall, or shall procure that any relevant investor will, provide an equity commitment letter to the Company's Board and to the Financial Advisor (the "Equity Commitment Letter"). The Equity Commitment Letter shall confirm the amount of committed equity financing (such amount, as may be increased pursuant to Article XIV, the "Equity Cash Confirmation Amount") which will be available to the Company on the Closing Date on a Certain Funds Basis pursuant to Section 11.2(b). The Equity Cash Confirmation Amount shall be such amount as, when taken together with the Debt Cash Confirmation Amount, shall enable the Company to satisfy the cash consideration payable pursuant to the Firm Offer in full, including, in the case of an Offer, any amounts which may become payable by virtue of acquisitions of Target Shares in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 3 of Part 28 of the Companies Act 2006. The terms of the Equity Commitment Letter, and other supporting information provided by Harbinger to the Company's Board and to the Financial Advisor shall be such as is reasonable and customary in the UK so as to enable the Financial Advisor, when taken together with the Debt Commitment Letter, to provide the cash confirmation statement with respect to the Equity Cash Confirmation Amount to be included in the Firm Offer Announcement in compliance with the terms of Rule 2.5(c) of the UK Takeover Code and to be included in the Offer Document or Scheme Document in compliance with the terms of Rule 24.7 of the UK Takeover Code (the "Cash Confirmation Statement").
 
(b)         Subject to the Firm Offer Announcement being made pursuant to and in accordance with Article XIII and the Firm Offer proceeding and the Company performing its obligations under Article XIV and Article XV in all material respects, the Harbinger Satellite Fund shall, or shall cause a Harbinger Designee to, purchase from the Company the Harbinger Purchased Shares, each at the Agreed Issue Price, upon and subject to Completion, in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement. The aggregate of such purchase price (the "Cash Purchase Price") pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement shall be no less than the Equity Cash Confirmation Amount less the Financing Rights Amount to the extent such amount is received prior to Completion, provided that, to the extent the Target's shareholders have elected to take Offer Shares rather than cash, the Cash Purchase Price will be reduced on a proportionate basis
 

 
66

 

 
to reflect the reduction in the amount of cash payable to holders of Target Shares pursuant to the Firm Offer. The Company hereby agrees to segregate the Cash Purchase Price received from the Harbinger Satellite Fund or a Harbinger Designee from all other assets of the Company, other than the proceeds of the Debt Financing raised in accordance with this Agreement, and to use such cash proceeds solely (i) to satisfy in full the cash consideration payable to holders of the Target Shares pursuant to the Firm Offer (the "Cash Offer Price"), (ii) to pay expenses resulting from and relating to the Firm Offer, and (iii) to repay any accelerated debt of the Target resulting from the Firm Offer (together, the "Firm Offer Costs").
 
Section 11.3      Financing Rights Offering.
 
(a)         Subject to the Firm Offer Announcement being made pursuant to and in accordance with Article XIII, the Financing Rights Prospectus being declared effective by the SEC in accordance with Section 11.4 and the Firm Offer proceeding, the Company may make a subscription offering to its stockholders other than Harbinger and its controlled Affiliates (the "Financing Rights Offering") to purchase a number of shares of Voting Common Stock such that the aggregate gross proceeds of such Financing Rights Offering is $100,000,000 (the "Financing Rights Amount"). The Financing Rights Offering shall be open to each holder of record of shares of Common Stock as at the Firm Offer Date (other than Harbinger and its controlled Affiliates), and shall confer on each such holder a right to receive, pro rata to the number of shares of Common Stock held by such holder, the non-transferable subscription rights referred to in Section 11.5. Harbinger and its controlled Affiliates and all of its and their direct and indirect transferees and assigns (and subsequent transferees and assigns) of Common Stock shall not have subscription privileges, and shall not exercise any rights (or exercise any over-subscription privilege) made available to stockholders in the Financing Rights Offering.
 
(b)         It shall be a condition precedent to the consummation of the Financing Rights Offering that is completed within 90 days of the Firm Offer Date and the Firm Offer proceeding.
 
Section 11.4      Financing Rights Prospectus, Other Financing Rights Filings.
 
(a)         The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3, or if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, such form of registration statement that is then available to the Company to effect registration of securities (the “Financing Rights Registration Statement”) including a form prospectus relating to the Financing Rights Offering (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Financing Rights Prospectus"). The Company, Harbinger Master, Harbinger Special, Harbinger Fund and Harbinger Satellite Fund shall, or shall cause their respective Affiliates to, prepare and file with the SEC as promptly as practicable all other documents that are required to be filed by such Party in connection with the Financing Rights Offering (the "Other Financing Rights Filings"), including amending the Financing Rights Registration Statement and the Financing Rights Prospectus as may be required, so as to obtain the approval of the SEC to mail the Financing Rights Prospectus to the stockholders of the Company.

Each of the Company, Harbinger Master, Harbinger Special, Harbinger Fund and Harbinger Satellite Fund shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Financing Rights Registration Statement, the Financing Rights Prospectus and Other Financing Rights Filings, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Financing Rights Prospectus to be mailed to the Company's stockholders by the later of (i) the day that is 28 days after the Firm Offer Date (or such longer period as permitted by the UK Takeover Panel after the Firm Offer Date for posting of the Offer Document or the Scheme Document, as the case may be) and (ii) two (2) Business Days after the SEC declares the Financing Rights Prospectus effective. The Company shall promptly notify Harbinger upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any request from the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Financing Rights Prospectus, the Financing Rights Registration Statement and Other Financing Rights Filings and shall provide Harbinger with copies of all correspondence between the Company and its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC and its staff, on the other hand, relating to the Financing Rights Prospectus, the Financing Rights Registration Statement or the Other Registration Rights Filings. If any information relating to the Company, Harbinger or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by the Company or Harbinger which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Financing Rights Registration Statement, the Financing Rights Prospectus or the Other Financing Rights Filings, so that the Financing Rights Registration Statement, the Financing Rights Prospectus or the Other Financing Rights Filings shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Party, and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated above, prior to filing or mailing the Financing Rights Prospectus or filing the Financing Rights Registration Statement or the Other Financing Rights Filings (or, in each case, any amendment or supplement thereto, but not including any Exchange Act filings incorporated by reference in the Financing Rights Prospectus, Financing Rights Registration Statement or the Other Financing Rights) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Harbinger an opportunity to review and comment on the Financing Rights Registration Prospectus, the Financing Rights Registration Statement and the Other Financing Rights Filings and shall give due consideration to the comments proposed by Harbinger.
 
(b)         The Financing Rights Registration Statement, the Financing Rights Prospectus and the Other Financing Rights Filings that are filed by the Company will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that none of the information included or incorporated by reference in the Financing Rights Registration Statement, the Financing Rights Prospectus or in the Other Financing Rights Filings to be made by the Company will, in the case of the Financing Rights Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, at the date it is filed with the SEC, in the case of the Financing Rights Prospectus, at the date it is first mailed to the Company's stockholders or at the time of any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or, in the case of any Other Financing

Each non-transferable subscription right shall entitle the relevant holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at the same net per share price being paid by Harbinger pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Financing Rights Subscription Price").

Such Senior Debt shall not be irrevocably committed until the decision to make a Firm Offer has been made in accordance with Article XIII of this Agreement subject to the Company executing all documentation required to implement the Debt Financing. Any such Debt Offering shall be underwritten on a firm commitment basis by a Qualified Underwriter on such terms so that the Financial Advisor can provide the Cash Confirmation Statement with respect to the Debt Cash Confirmation Amount in accordance with Section 12.1(f) below.
 
(b)         Following written notification from Harbinger to the Company of Harbinger's good faith estimate of the date it is targeting as the Firm Offer Date, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts, in accordance with this Article XII, to assist Harbinger to arrange an offering and issuance of its mezzanine debt for a principal amount of $300,000,000 or such other amount, as is requested by Harbinger, (the "Mezzanine Debt") with such offering and Mezzanine Debt being on such terms and conditions as Harbinger may determine following consultation with the Company.

(c)         The Company shall assist in the facilitation of the Debt Financing. In order to assist Harbinger in the timely consummation of the Debt Financing, the Company, upon Harbinger's reasonable request, and in addition to its obligations pursuant to Section 16.3 to Section 16.5, shall (i) promptly provide to Harbinger all requested financial and other information in the Company's possession relating to the Company and Group, including information and projections prepared by the Company or its advisors relating to the Company and Group and all relevant transactions including the Transactions; (ii) ensure that senior officers and representatives of the Group are available to Harbinger and to the Qualified Underwriter and to their respective advisors in connection with the Debt Financing, including ensuring their availability to assist in the preparation of any relevant documents relating to the Debt Financing (including assistance in obtaining industry data), and ensuring their availability to participate in due diligence sessions and in one or more roadshows to market the Debt Financing, in each case, at reasonable times and following reasonable notice; (iii) prepare a prospectus, offering circular, private placement memorandum or other document, in form and scope that is reasonable and customary for transactions of this type and as is deemed reasonably appropriate by Harbinger and the Qualified Underwriter, to be used in connection with the Debt Financing; and (iv) assist Harbinger and the Qualified Underwriter in preparing other appropriate marketing materials, in each case to be used in connection with the Debt Financing. Harbinger may rely, without independent verification, upon the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by the Company pursuant to this Article XII and Harbinger accepts no responsibility for any such information, except for such information provided by or on behalf of Harbinger in the form provided.
 
(d)         Harbinger shall not be obliged to provide any financial accommodation, but shall have the option to participate in the Senior Debt and/or the Mezzanine Debt and/or any other such form of debt financing as Harbinger may request in accordance with Section 14.1 (the “Other Debt”) if applicable. For the purposes of this Section, the Senior Debt, the Mezzanine Debt and the Other Debt, if applicable, shall be treated independently of each other and the references herein to “Debt Financing” shall be a reference to either the Senior Debt, the Mezzanine Debt or the Other Debt, as appropriate. If Harbinger does participate in the Debt Financing, the Senior Debt, the Mezzanine Debt or the Other Debt, as applicable, shall be regarded as non-compliant unless: (i) more than one-half of the total principal amount of  the relevant Debt Financing is provided by one or more unaffiliated third parties, and Harbinger participates in such Debt Financing on terms at least as favorable to the Company as such unaffiliated third parties; or (ii) if less than one-half of the total principal amount of the relevant Debt Financing is provided by one or more unaffiliated third parties, then (1) a Traditional Financial Institution is one of such unaffiliated third parties providing the relevant Debt Financing and Harbinger participates on terms at least as favorable to the Company as such Traditional Financial Institution or (2) the Company has the right (subject to the overriding requirement that committed Senior Debt, Mezzanine Debt and Other Debt, if applicable, is required to be available as soon as reasonably practical after the Satisfaction Date (and in any event no later than the Business Day prior to making the Firm Offer Announcement)), to seek an alternative participant in the relevant Debt Financing in place of Harbinger on terms at least as favorable, taken as a whole, to the Company as the terms offered by Harbinger or (3) Harbinger's participation in the relevant Debt Financing is on commercially reasonable terms in the opinion of Morgan Stanley or another investment bank acceptable to the Parties.

(e)         The Company agrees to segregate all proceeds received from the Debt Financing from all other assets of the Company, other than the Cash Purchase Price received from the Harbinger Satellite Fund or Harbinger Designee pursuant to this Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Financing Rights Amount, and (subject to Section 12.1(g) below) to use such proceeds solely to satisfy the Firm Offer Costs. The Company has the ability to invest the proceeds in liquid securities with a rating of AAA, or its equivalent, from a reputable credit rating agency pending use thereof.
 
(f)         The Company shall take all of the actions reasonably requested by Harbinger pursuant to Section 12.1(c) with a view to (i) obtaining the committed Debt Financing as soon as reasonably practicable after the Satisfaction Date (and in any event so that committed Debt Financing is available by no later than the Business Day prior to the date for release of the Firm Offer Announcement in accordance with Section 13.7), and (ii) no later than the Business Day prior to the making of the Firm Offer Announcement in accordance with Article XIII, providing a debt commitment letter to the Financial Advisor (the "Debt Commitment Letter"). The Debt Commitment Letter shall confirm the level of committed debt financing available to the Company on a Certain Funds Basis pursuant to the Debt Financing documentation (the "Debt Cash Confirmation Amount"). The terms of the Debt Commitment Letter, and other supporting information provided by the Company to the Financial Advisor shall be such as is reasonable and customary in the UK so as to enable, when taken together with the Equity Commitment Letter, the Financial Advisor to provide the Cash Confirmation Statement in accordance with the UK Takeover Code. The Debt Commitment Letter shall confirm that the Company will have available the Debt Cash Confirmation Amount on or prior to the Firm Offer Date so that, taken together with the Equity Cash Confirmation Amount, it can comply with its obligations to satisfy the cash consideration payable pursuant to the Firm Offer in full, including, in the case of an Offer, any amounts which may become payable by virtue of acquisitions of Target Shares in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 3 of Part 28 of the Companies Act 2006.
 
(g)         To the extent the aggregate of the Debt Financing and the Cash Purchase Price (the "Total Commitment") is in excess of the Firm Offer Costs, then such excess may be used to finance the Company's and the Target's working capital requirements following the Closing Date.

(a)         the proposed Firm Offer Price. The aggregate Firm Offer Price shall: (a) not be in excess of the Financial Advisor's good faith estimate of the Cash Confirmation Amount; and (b) be such as to enable the Parties' accounting advisers to confirm that the aggregate of the Total Commitment and the available cash and operating cashflow of the Group and the Target are sufficient to meet the Firm Offer Costs and the present working capital requirements of the Company and (provided the Target has provided sufficient information to enable the accounting advisers to give such confirmation) the Target;
 
(b)         the number of Offer Shares, if any, to be offered as an equity alternative in exchange for each Target Share as part of the Firm Offer and confirmation that the SEC Approval and FSA Approval of the Offer Shares Registration Statement and the Prospectus, respectively, have been received.

On the Business Day immediately following the Notification Date (the "Bring Down Date"), the Company shall deliver to Harbinger a certificate, dated as of the Bring Down Date, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit G (the "Bring Down Certificate") executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company, together with an opinion from Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, special counsel for the Company, dated as of the Bring Down Date, and addressed to Harbinger in a form reasonably acceptable to Harbinger. If the Company fails to deliver a Bring Down Certificate and/or an opinion in compliance with this Section 13.4 Harbinger may decide whether it wishes to reconfirm the Notification, amend the Notification (in which case the amended Notification shall be considered by the Company's Board pursuant to Section 13.5) or withdraw the Notification (in which case, there shall be no Notification falling to be considered by the Company's Board pursuant to Section 13.5).
 
Section 13.5      Company's Board Meeting. The Company shall convene a meeting of the Company's Board to consider and make a determination as to whether to proceed with the Firm Offer within five (5) Business Days after the Notification. If the Company's Board requests, Harbinger will make itself available to attend such meeting and to discuss the Notification and shall procure that the Financial Advisor delivers a confirmation that it is prepared to deliver, subject to the Company entering into the Debt Commitment Letter relating to the Debt Financing in accordance with Section 12.1(f), a Cash Confirmation Statement within twenty-four (24) hours of the Company executing all documentation with respect to the Debt Financing and providing evidence to the Financial Adviser of the execution of the relevant documentation. If the Company's Board concludes, after receiving advice from outside counsel and an independent financial adviser, that the Firm Offer is not fair to the Company and its stockholders other than Harbinger (taking into account, among other things, the proposed terms and quantum of the Debt Financing), the Company may decline to make the Firm Offer and will give prompt notice to Harbinger that the Company will not make the Firm Offer. If the Company's Board approves making the Firm Offer on the terms and conditions set forth in the Notification (subject only to the Financial Advisor providing a cash confirmation in respect of the Cash Confirmation Amount) it shall so notify Harbinger immediately following its decision (the "Company Approval").

Section 13.7      Firm Offer Announcement. Subject to the preceding provisions of this Article XIII and subject to the Financial Advisor confirming that it is prepared to deliver a Cash Confirmation Statement, subject to the Company entering into the Debt Commitment Letter relating to the Debt Financing in accordance with Section 12.1(f), the Parties, shall promptly procure the release of the Firm Offer Announcement to a Regulatory Information Service at such time and on such date as may be agreed by the Parties.

Section 13.8      Reimbursement of Fees.

If the Reimbursement Payments exceed $40,000,000, then Harbinger shall promptly notify the Company of the allocation of such Reimbursement Payments between this Section 13.8 and Section 15.3 provided that such allocation shall not exceed an aggregate amount of $40,000,000. Such expenses shall be payable in cash to the extent available from the Company's cash resources (after taking into account the funding requirements to implement the Company's Business Plan for the period up to March 31, 2010) or from the proceeds from the No-Deal Rights Offering, if applicable. To the extent that the Company has insufficient cash from such sources to satisfy its obligation to make the Reimbursement Payments, then the shortfall shall be reimbursed by the issuance of further shares of Voting Common Stock at the Company Per Share Value. Prior to the payment of any Reimbursement Payments, Harbinger shall deliver the forms and such other certificates and information set forth in Section 17.1(b) in respect of such Reimbursement Payments. For purposes of determining the amount of any Reimbursement Payments due hereunder, such payments shall be deemed to include any amounts required to be withheld by the Company (as determined in good faith by the Company) in respect of Taxes thereon that are withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority. In addition, to the extent that any withholding in respect of Taxes is required with respect to any Reimbursement Payment comprised in part of shares of Voting Common Stock, and the cash component of such Reimbursement Payment is insufficient to satisfy the withholding Tax liability in respect of such Reimbursement Payment, procedures similar to those set forth in Section 17.1(b) (including the delivery of cash to satisfy any liability in respect of withholding Taxes) shall apply.

INDEMNIFICATION
 
Section 18.1      Indemnification for Misstatements or Omissions in Public Documents. The Company (an "Indemnifying Party") agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by Law, Harbinger, each Harbinger Designee, any of its or their Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors, assigns (an "Indemnified Party"), and Harbinger (an "Indemnifying Party") agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by Law, the Company, MSV the Company’s Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors, assigns and Affiliates (each, an "Indemnified Party") against all Losses arising out of, or based on (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact provided by the Indemnifying Party contained or incorporated by reference in the Information Statement, the Other Filings, the Offer Shares Registration Statement, the Financing Rights Registration Statement, the No-Deal Rights Registration Statement, the Offer Shares Prospectus, the Financing Rights Prospectus, any "issuer free writing prospectus" (as defined in Securities Act Rule 433), the Offer Document or Scheme Document, as applicable, the No-Deal Rights Prospectus or the Other No-Deal Rights Filings or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact provided by the Indemnifying Party required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by an Indemnifying Party of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or applicable blue sky laws in respect of the Information Statement, the Offer Shares Registration Statement, the Financing Rights Registration Statement, the No-Deal Rights Registration Statement, the Offer Shares Prospectus, the Financing Rights Prospectus, any "issuer free writing prospectus" (as defined in Securities Act Rule 433), the Offer Document or Scheme Document, as applicable, the No-Deal Rights Prospectus or the Other No-Deal Rights Filings or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or otherwise in connection with the Transactions. Any Person seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 18.1 shall notify the Indemnifying Party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give notice shall not impair or waive such Person's right to indemnification hereunder) and unless in such Indemnified Party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party may exist with respect to such claim, permit such Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If such defense is assumed, the Indemnifying Party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the Indemnified Party without its consent, unless the relief consists solely of money damages and does not require an express admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party. An Indemnifying Party who is not entitled to,
 

 
91

 

 
or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any Indemnified Party there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are in addition to or may conflict with those available to another Indemnified Party with respect to such claim. Failure to give notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations hereunder. The indemnification provided for under this Section 18.1 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such Indemnified Party. If the indemnification provided under this Section 18.1 is held by a court to be unavailable or unenforceable in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that result in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party, and by such Party 's relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. In no event shall the liability of the Indemnified Parties for contribution pursuant to this Section 18.1 be greater than the amount for which the Indemnified Parties would have been liable pursuant to this Section 18.1 had indemnification been available and enforceable.

AMENDED PROPOSALS
 
Section 20.1      Amended Proposals. If following execution of this Agreement, Harbinger or the Company considers, acting reasonably, that any or all of the Tax costs associated with the Proposal and/or the Contribution and/or the group structure post-Completion could be mitigated or reduced (a "Tax Saving") then Harbinger and the Company shall discuss, in good faith, whether the Proposal and/or the Contribution could be amended (an "Amended Proposal") so as to achieve the Tax Saving. Harbinger and the Company shall also negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing to such amendment to the terms of this Agreement which are reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to give effect to any Amended Proposal. If the Amended Proposal would impose any material incremental Taxes, costs or expense on the Party not proposing such Amended Proposal, the Party proposing such Amended Proposal (i) shall indemnify and hold the other Party harmless from and against any increase in the Tax liability of the other Party resulting as a consequence of the implementation of such Amended Proposal over the Tax liability of such other Party reasonably anticipated to have resulted as a consequence of implementing the transactions as contemplated by the Proposal and Contribution as set forth in this Agreement as in effect on the date first set forth hereinabove, and (ii) shall pay the costs and expenses of the other Party relating to the implementation of such Amended Proposal in excess of the costs and expenses reasonably anticipated to have been incurred in connection with implementing the transactions as contemplated by the Proposal and Contribution as set forth in this Agreement as in effect on the date first set forth hereinabove.
 
Section 20.2      Alternative Method of Contributing the Contribution Shares, the Converted Shares and/or the Convertible Bonds.
 
Each of Harbinger Master and Harbinger Special shall have the right, prior to the relevant Contribution Closing Date, to transfer any or all of the Contribution Shares and/or the Converted Shares and/or the Convertible Bonds (each an “Interest” and together the “Interests”) which it holds to one or more of its newly organized wholly-owned Subsidiaries, from time to time (“NewCos” and each a “NewCo”), and instead of directly transferring, or procuring the direct transfer of, the Interests to the Company pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of this
 

 
96

 

 
Agreement, the Parties agree that each of Harbinger Master and Harbinger Special shall have the right to transfer to the Company its shareholding in the relevant NewCo holding any such Interests, provided such shareholding is the entire issued share capital of such NewCo and provided further that such NewCo shall have good and valid title to the relevant Interest free and clear of all Encumbrances and shall have no other material liabilities. The Parties agree that the transfer of the entire issued share capital of one or more NewCos, and the indirect transfer of any or all Interests held by such NewCos, together with the transfer of any or all remaining Interests which each of Harbinger Master and Harbinger Special continues to directly hold to the Company will satisfy each of Harbinger Master’s and Harbinger Special’s obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to contribute the Interests to the Company. The Parties hereby agree that if each of Harbinger Master and Harbinger Special transfers any or all Interests to a NewCo or NewCos, and intends to transfer such NewCo or NewCos to the Company, then this Agreement shall be amended such that: (i) following the date of such transfer to the relevant NewCos, any of Harbinger’s representations, warranties and  covenants with respect to the Interests shall be taken, as relevant, to refer to Harbinger’s shareholdings in the NewCos holding the relevant Interests; (ii) each of Harbinger Master and Harbinger Special shall receive the same consideration for the transfer of the NewCos and/or the Interests, as it would have received had such Interests been transferred directly to the Company by Harbinger Master and Harbinger Special, together with additional consideration, to be satisfied by way of an issuance by the Company of shares of Voting Common Stock at the Agreed Issue Price, equal to the amount of net cash held by the relevant NewCos at the Contribution Shares Closing Date (subject to a cap of $2,000,000); (iii) any other consequential amendments to this Agreement shall be made to the extent necessary to reflect the transfer of the NewCos; and (iv) all other actions are taken to effect the transfer of the NewCos as contemplated in this Section 20.2. The Parties hereby agree that if each of Harbinger Master and Harbinger Special transfers any or all Interests to a NewCo or NewCos, and intends to transfer such NewCo or NewCos to the Company, then (a) each such NewCo shall be eligible to be disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for United States federal income tax purposes, (b) each of Harbinger Master and Harbinger Special shall cause such NewCo or NewCos to file an election or elections to be so disregarded for United States federal income tax purposes, effective on or prior to the date of the transfer of any Interest, and shall provide a copy of such elections(s) to the Company within ten (10) days of making such election.
 
Section 20.3      Conversion/Exchange of Non-Voting Common Stock.
 
(a)         If Harbinger determines to exercise its rights under this Section 20.3(a), Harbinger shall notify the Company at least four (4) calendar months prior to the date that, in the good faith opinion of Harbinger, the Regulatory Approvals are likely to be obtained. Upon receipt of Harbinger’s notification, the Company agrees that it shall use its best efforts to cause (as soon as reasonably practical but in any event no earlier than the Regulatory Approvals being obtained in accordance with Article VIII or Harbinger serving a notice in accordance with Section 8.12 notifying the Company of the occurrence of the Satisfaction Date) each share of Non-Voting Common Stock either to be converted into or exchanged for one share of Voting Common Stock (collectively, the “Non-Voting Common Stock Conversion”). If the Non-Voting Common Stock Conversion is effected by way of an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, Harbinger agrees to vote all its shares of Voting Common Stock that it is entitled to vote on such amendment in favor thereof (but not any other modification or amendment to the
 

 
97

 

 
Company’s certificate of incorporation). As a result of the Non-Voting Common Stock Conversion, the Company shall have only one class of outstanding stock immediately prior to the first Contribution Closing Date.
 
(b)         It is the intention of the parties that the Non-Voting Common Stock Conversion shall qualify as a recapitalization under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code and an exchange under Section 1036 of the Code and in each case the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
(c)         If the Company has not, by the time of the Notification Date, effected the Non Voting Common Stock Conversion, Harbinger shall have the right to require the Company to effect (by no later than the first Contribution Closing Date) a reorganization pursuant to Section 251(g) of the DGCL, pursuant to which (i) all stockholders of the Company (including Harbinger) shall contribute, or shall be treated as contributing for US federal income tax purposes, their holdings of Common Stock to a corporation (the “New Parent”) in return for the issue of the same amount of common stock in New Parent; and (ii) Harbinger shall contribute the Contribution Assets to New Parent in return for the issue of common stock in New Parent in the same amount as provided in Section 2.1, in each case in a transaction qualifying as an exchange governed by Section 351(a) of the Code. The Parties hereby agree that if such a reorganization occurs, then this Agreement shall be amended such that following the date of such reorganization, (1) New Parent shall become a Party to this Agreement and shall be bound by all of the covenants of the Company; (2) any of the Company’s representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement with respect to its capital structure shall be taken, as relevant, to refer to New Parent’s capital structure; and (3) any other consequential amendments to this Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement shall be made to the extent necessary to reflect the reorganization.
 
(d)         It shall be a condition to the consummation of the Transactions as modified pursuant to Section 20.3(c) that each of Harbinger and the Company shall have received from Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, respectively (or other nationally recognized tax counsel reasonably acceptable to each party) a written opinion, dated the first Contribution Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Harbinger and the Company, as applicable, on the basis of the facts, representations and assumptions set forth in such opinion, to the effect that the contribution of the Contribution Assets and the contribution of the Common Stock to New Parent that is deemed to occur as a consequence of the transactions described in Section 20.3(c) in connection with the Transactions as so modified will be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as an exchange governed by Section 351(a) of the Code. Harbinger and the Company shall furnish such certificates to such tax counsel, executed by appropriate officers of Harbinger and the Company, containing representations and covenants as to certain matters as may reasonably be requested by such counsel in connection with (i) such opinion, (ii) any opinion rendered by such counsel in connection with the consummation of the Transactions as modified pursuant to Section 20.3(a) and (iii) any other Tax opinion relating to the Transactions as modified pursuant to Section 20.3(a) or 20.3(c) as may be required in connection with the effectiveness of any registration statement, proxy statement, prospectus or similar document filed with the SEC or FSA, upon which such tax counsel will be entitled to rely in rendering any such opinion.

Section 21.5      Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges that it may be impossible to measure in money the damages to it if the other Parties fail to comply with their obligations under this Agreement or the Stock Purchase Agreement, and that, in the event of any such failure, such non-breaching Party may not have an adequate remedy at Law. Accordingly, the Parties agree that injunctive or other equitable relief, in addition to remedies at Law or damages, is an appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that such non-breaching Party has an adequate remedy at Law. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not seek, and agree to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with seeking or obtaining such equitable relief. Nothing in this Section 21.5 is intended to limit or modify the provisions of Section 21.13 in any respect, and, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 21.5 shall not prevent any Party from terminating this Agreement in accordance with Section 21.13.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing in this Agreement is intended to or will confer any rights or remedies on any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

In pleading or proving this Agreement, it will not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. Facsimile and PDF signatures hereto shall be deemed to be of the same force and effect as originals.
 
Section 21.8      Waivers. No waiver of any breach or default hereunder will be valid unless such waiver is in writing signed by the waiving Party. No failure or other delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder will be or operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Harbinger Draft 24/7/08@3pm (EST)

Harbinger Capital Partners Funds and SkyTerra Communications Inc.
25 July 2008

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS IN THAT JURISDICTION.
 
Proposed offer by the Harbinger Capital Partners Funds and SkyTerra Communications Inc. for Inmarsat plc
 
The board of SkyTerra Communications, Inc (“SkyTerra”) and the management of SkyTerra’s largest shareholders, the Harbinger Capital Partners Funds (“Harbinger” and together with SkyTerra, the “Potential Offeror”), today announce their intention to make an offer to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Inmarsat plc (“Inmarsat”) not already held by the Potential Offeror (the “Proposed Offer”) on terms to be announced following satisfactory outcome of the Regulatory Approvals process.
 
The Proposed Offer
 
On 7 July 2008, Harbinger confirmed that it had made a preliminary approach to Inmarsat in relation to a possible offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Inmarsat not already held by the Potential Offeror. Discussions took place between Harbinger and Inmarsat and their respective advisers and these discussions focussed upon the lengthy regulatory and competition approval process required to effect an offer for Inmarsat. In light of the lengthy process (as further described below) Harbinger did not consider it appropriate to make a firm offer for Inmarsat at that stage and therefore Harbinger and Inmarsat separately announced on 21 July 2008 that they had agreed to suspend discussions in relation to the possible offer.
 
Today the Potential Offeror is announcing a proposed offer for Inmarsat and assuming an acceptable conclusion to the Regulatory Approvals process, the Potential Offeror intends to enter into negotiations with the board of Inmarsat regarding the terms of an offer and endeavour to seek the recommendation of the Inmarsat board at that time.
 
The Potential Offeror strongly believes that the combination of SkyTerra and Inmarsat presents an excellent opportunity to advance the realisation of ubiquitous wireless coverage of the United States and Canada through an integrated satellite-terrestrial communications network.
 
Regulatory Process
 
A number of Regulatory Approvals will need to be obtained in respect of the Proposed Offer, including approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission. The Potential Offeror expects that it will take approximately 12 to 18 months to obtain all of the Regulatory Approvals - a period which significantly exceeds a normal offer period. Therefore, prior to any offer being made by the Potential Offeror for Inmarsat, the Potential Offeror will seek to obtain the principal required consents, including those which are expected to take the longest to obtain. Further details of the Regulatory Approvals are set out in the section below entitled ‘Regulatory Approvals and Timetable’.
 
There is no certainty that the Regulatory Approvals will be obtained, or that they will be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Potential Offeror.
 
Terms of Proposed Offer
 
As a result of the uncertainty in relation to the Regulatory Approvals it is not the intention of the Potential Offeror to announce the formal terms or structure of any offer at this stage.
 

 
Effect of this Announcement
 
This announcement does not constitute an announcement of a firm intention to make an offer under Rule 2.5 of the Code and therefore there can be no certainty that any offer will be made, even if all of the Regulatory Approvals are obtained on terms satisfactory to the Potential Offeror, or that if an offer were made for Inmarsat that it would be successful.
 
The content of this announcement has been agreed with the UK Panel on Takeovers and Mergers and in view of the anticipated length of the Regulatory Approvals process this announcement ends the current offer period for the purposes of the Code. Both the Potential Offeror and Inmarsat have accepted this ruling. As a consequence, inter alia, Rule 8 of the Code does not apply to Inmarsat and/or the Potential Offeror, and as an offer is not imminent, Rule 21 of the Code does not apply either.
 
Information on SkyTerra
 
Harbinger, together with an affiliate, currently own 48.43% of SkyTerra’s issued and outstanding voting shares, and have the right, subject to FCC and other applicable U.S. approvals, to own 60.90% of SkyTerra’s voting shares. If the Proposed Offer is successful then Harbinger’s interest in the issued and outstanding voting shares of SkyTerra will be further increased upon the transfer to SkyTerra of Harbinger’s current holding of Inmarsat Shares and Inmarsat Convertible Bonds, as referred to in ‘Information on the Harbinger Capital Partners Funds’ below.
 
SkyTerra is the parent company of Mobile Satellite Ventures LP ("MSV"), which along with its Canadian joint venture Mobile Satellite Ventures (Canada) Inc. (“MSV Canada”) delivers mobile wireless voice and data services primarily for public safety, security, fleet management and asset tracking in the United States and Canada. MSV and MSV Canada are developing an integrated satellite-terrestrial communications network, which they expect will provide seamless, transparent and ubiquitous wireless coverage of the United States and Canada to consumer handsets. MSV holds the first FCC licence to provide integrated satellite-terrestrial services. MSV and MSV Canada plan to launch two satellites for coverage of the United States and Canada, which are expected to be among the largest and most powerful commercial satellites ever built. When completed, the network is expected to support communications in a variety of areas including public safety, homeland security, aviation, transportation and entertainment, by providing a platform for interoperable, user-friendly and feature-rich voice and high-speed data services.
 
Information on the Harbinger Capital Partners Funds
 
Founded in 2001 by Philip A. Falcone and Harbert Management Corporation, the Harbinger Capital Partners Funds, managed out of offices in New York, have grown to be one of the 15 largest hedge funds, by assets, in the United States. The Harbinger Capital Partners Funds’ mission is to achieve superior returns through investments in various asset classes, special situations and private loans and notes. The Harbinger Capital Partners Funds may also make strategic investments, controlling or otherwise, when they see development opportunities and value creation. The firm consists of a team of investment professionals who seek to develop investment opportunities through analytical rigour coupled with a contrarian viewpoint. As of 1 July 2008, the Harbinger Capital Partners Funds had over $26.0 billion in assets under management and committed capital. Harbinger currently holds 132,041,000 Inmarsat Shares and Inmarsat Convertible Bonds having an aggregate principal amount of $37,600,000 which, if the Proposed Offer is successful, it will transfer to SkyTerra in return for newly issued shares in SkyTerra.
 

 
Information on Inmarsat
 
Inmarsat is a leading provider of global mobile satellite communications. Inmarsat provides voice and high-speed data services to almost anywhere on the planet on land, at sea and in the air. Its services are delivered through one of the most versatile and reliable satellite networks in the world. Inmarsat owns and operates 10 satellites in geostationary orbit 35,786km above the Earth, controlled from its HQ in London via ground stations located around the globe. Inmarsat works to develop innovative, customised solutions for businesses and organisations all over the world. These include major corporations from the maritime, media, oil and gas, construction and aeronautical industries, as well as governments and aid agencies. Inmarsat is relied upon for mission-critical mobile communications and is a trusted and integral part of its customers’ global operations.
 
Reasons for the Proposed Offer
 
With its global satellite fleet and complementary plans for next generation satellites, Inmarsat offers a compelling strategic fit to SkyTerra, and its subsidiary MSV, which together with MSV Canada, is developing an integrated satellite-terrestrial communications network, to provide seamless, transparent and ubiquitous wireless coverage of the United States and Canada to consumer handsets. In an effort to realise additional value embedded in the combination of both companies’ radio spectrum, MSV and Inmarsat recently signed a cooperation agreement for L-Band operations in North America. The Proposed Offer would allow MSV and Inmarsat to increase substantially the scope of their existing cooperation, further enhancing spectrum efficiency to support the development of an integrated satellite-terrestrial communications network in North America, based on MSV's patented ancillary terrestrial component technology.
 
Regulatory Approval and Timetable
 
In order to effect the Proposed Offer it will be necessary for the Potential Offeror to obtain the following Regulatory Approvals: (i) approval of the FCC for transfer of control of the FCC licences held by MSV LLC and Inmarsat; (ii) FCC approval to increase Harbinger’s “foreign” ownership of SkyTerra up to 100%; (iii) FCC approval for transfer of control of the TVCC Lease which relates to the control of the 1.6 Spectrum, which is subject to an option agreement; (iv) HSR Act clearance by the DoJ and the FTC for acquisition of Inmarsat voting securities; (v) European Commission or national Member State antitrust approval for acquisition of Inmarsat; and (vi) such other antitrust, regulatory and governmental approvals that the Potential Offeror identifies that it considers necessary in order to be able to effect the Proposed Offer.
 
The Potential Offeror expects that each of the FCC and DoJ will undertake a substantive review of the consequence of the Proposed Offer and therefore it is likely to take approximately 12 to 18 months for the Potential Offeror to obtain those Regulatory Approvals. Given the time needed to obtain those Regulatory Approvals, the Potential Offeror intends to obtain a number of the required consents prior to any firm offer being made by the Potential Offeror for Inmarsat.
 
In a number of jurisdictions where Regulatory Approvals may be necessary or desirable, the relevant satellite, antitrust and/or governmental authorities may not permit filings on the basis of this announcement. It is the Potential Offeror's expectation that such approvals can either be obtained within the normal offer timetable or would not impede the Potential Offeror’s ability to complete the acquisition of Inmarsat.
 

 
Assuming an acceptable conclusion to the Regulatory Approvals process, the Potential Offeror intends to enter into negotiations with the board of Inmarsat regarding the terms of an offer and endeavour to seek the recommendation of the Inmarsat board.
 
The Potential Offeror expects that any offer, if made, would be made to shareholders of Inmarsat in the second half of 2009 and that such an offer would be completed as quickly as possible thereafter.
 
A further announcement may be made, if and when appropriate.

FORM OF CONSULTING AGREEMENT
 
This Consulting Agreement ("Agreement") is made this ___ day of _____, 2008 (the "Effective Date"), by and between TVCC One Six Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("TVCC") and SkyTerra Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Consultant").  TVCC and Consultant are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the "Parties" and individually each of TVCC and Consultant may be referred to herein as a "Party."
 
WHEREAS, TVCC is the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC")-authorized lessee of certain nationwide spectrum rights for 5 MHz in the 1670-1675 MHz band (the "Spectrum") licensed to OP LLC ("OP"), FCC Call Sign WPYQ831 (the "Spectrum License"), pursuant to a "Long Term De Facto Transfer Lease Agreement," dated July 23, 2007, by and between TVCC and OP, and a Master Agreement, dated July 16, 2007, by and among TVCC, OP, and a parent company of OP, Crown Castle MM Holding LLC (the "Spectrum Lease Agreements"); and
 
WHEREAS, in connection with Consultant's entry into that certain Master Contribution and Support Agreement, dated July 24, 2008 (the "Master Agreement"), by and between Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd., Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, LP, Harbinger Co-Investment Fund, L.P., the Consultant, Mobile Satellite Ventures LP and Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC, TVCC has requested Consultant to provide, and Consultant has agreed to provide, certain consulting services to TVCC in connection with TVCC's use of the Spectrum.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, TVCC and Consultant hereby agree as follows:
 
1.           CONSULTING SERVICES
 
1.1        Subject to the  ultimate authority, control, and approval of TVCC and the terms and conditions set forth herein, Consultant shall provide or cause to be provided to TVCC, as TVCC may reasonably request, the following consulting services (the "Consulting Services"):
 
(i)           assist TVCC in performing the activities in accordance with the instructions of TVCC for the continued operation, maintenance and repair of the networks used by TVCC to provide service to the White Mountain Apache Reservation as reasonably necessary to preserve the tribal lands bidding credit that OP received in connection with the auction of the spectrum relating to the White Mountain Indian Reservation and in accordance with the FCC Memorandum Opinion and Order, File No. 0002271317, FCC 07-16 (rel. February 26, 2007) that permitted OP to operate at increased power and all applicable FCC rules and regulations;
 
(ii)          assist TVCC in accordance with the instructions of TVCC in (a) compliance with all site leases ("Site Leases") entered into with CCMM I, LLC ("CCMM"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TVCC, in connection with the use of the Spectrum; (b) to the extent therein permitted, the termination of such Site Leases; (c)
 

 
decommissioning, dismantling, removing and disposing the equipment on the sites covered by such Site Leases, and (d) repairing and restoring the premises covered by such Site Leases.
 
(iii)         subject to Section 4(b) hereof, assist TVCC and CCMM in accordance with the instructions of TVCC in maintaining compliance by TVCC and CCMM with all applicable Federal, state and local regulations to which its facilities and operations may be subject;
 
(iv)         maintain reasonable records related to all of the foregoing activities; and
 
(v)          to the extent commercially reasonable, in accordance with the instructions of TVCC, analyze, perform and provide a study showing the possible integration of services employing the Spectrum and ATC services that may be provided in adjacent bands on a nationwide basis.
 
For the avoidance of doubt, Consultants duties under this Agreement do not include the build out of TVCCs system or meeting any FCC build out requirement.
 
1.2        Consultant shall perform the Consulting Services and devote such time and resources as are reasonably necessary for the performance of its obligations hereunder,  employing a commercially reasonable standard of care.  Consultant may use subcontractors to provide any of the Consulting Services; provided that their selection shall be subject to the prior written consent of TVCC, and further provided, that no such consent shall be required in connection with services provided by (i) any subcontractor that Consultant has engaged or engages in its business, (ii) any contractor engaged by TVCC or CCMM as of the date hereof, or (iii) Crown Castle USA Inc. or any of its affiliates.  If Consultant delegates any of its responsibilities under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates (as such term is used in the Master Agreement) or uses subcontractors in the performance thereof, then Consultant shall remain responsible for the actions and performance of such Affiliate or subcontractor to the extent Consultant would be responsible hereunder if directly performing such obligations itself.  Certain of the services provided hereunder may require the utilization of third party software licenses, or otherwise are subject to restrictions of third parties, and the provision of Consulting Services hereunder is subject to such licenses or restrictions; provided that no such use shall subject TVCC to any licensing fee, nor shall any restriction on use be binding upon TVCC without its express prior written consent.  In no event shall Consultant use any software or other intellectual property in the performance of its work hereunder to which it does not have the full right to use in the manner so employed.
 
1.3        TVCC and Consultant, and their Affiliates, shall reasonably cooperate with each other (including any of their Affiliates) in the provision of Consulting Services contemplated by this Agreement.
 
1.4        TVCC shall make available on a timely basis to the Consultant all information requested by the Consultant reasonably necessary to perform the Consulting Services.  TVCC shall give the Consultant reasonable access, during normal business hours and at such other
 
2

 
times as are reasonably required, to TVCC's premises to the extent reasonably necessary to enable it to provide the Consulting Services.
 
1.5        All work performed by Consultant, including all reports and records produced or maintained, shall be performed and maintained as a work for hire for TVCC and TVCC shall have full right, title and interest therein.
 
1.6        For the avoidance of doubt, the facilities and Spectrum rights used to provide services by TVCC shall remain the property of, or, as applicable, under licenses or leases granted to TVCC, and nothing herein shall constitute any conveyance or assignment of any right, title, or interest therein to Consultant.  TVCC shall have unfettered access to all of its facilities used to provide any services that employ the Spectrum, the operation of which shall remain under TVCC's control.  Nothing herein shall give Consultant any rights to hire, fire, or supervise any personnel of TVCC.
 
1.7           TVCC (or CCMM, as applicable) shall remain responsible for any payments as may be due and payable by it (i) under the Spectrum Lease Agreements and Site Leases, (ii) pursuant to all agreements currently in place, or as TVCC may subsequently enter into or modify, to provide the White Mountain Apache Reservation service, and (iii) under any and all other agreements to which TVCC and/or CCMM is or may in the future become a party concerning the use of the Spectrum.  TVCC shall also be entitled to any payment received for any services provided over the Spectrum.

11.           ARBITRATION
 
 Consultant and TVCC hereby agree that any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of and/or relating to this Agreement only, the relationship between Consultant and TVCC or the termination thereof, or the arbitrability of any controversy or claim, will be finally settled by confidential and binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et. seq.  Consultant and the Company knowingly and voluntarily hereby waive any rights that they may have to a jury trial for any such disputes, controversies or claims.  After the arbitration has been initiated, any party may assert any cross-claims in the arbitration.  The arbitration shall be conducted in New York, NY and administered by the New York City office of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") according to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA Rules") then in effect.
 
 The arbitration shall be conducted before a panel of three (3) neutral arbitrators (the "Panel").  Each party shall nominate one arbitrator and deliver written notification of such nomination to the other party and to the AAA within 30 days after delivery of the Demand for Arbitration (as defined in the AAA Rules).  In the event a party fails to nominate an arbitrator or deliver notification of such nomination to the other party and to the AAA within this time period, upon request of either party, such arbitrator shall instead be appointed by the AAA if practicable within 30 days of receiving such request.  The two arbitrators appointed in accordance with the above provisions shall nominate the third arbitrator and notify the parties and the AAA in writing of such nomination within 15 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator.  If the first two appointed arbitrators fail to nominate a third arbitrator or notify the parties and the AAA of that nomination within this time period, then, upon request of either party, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA if practicable within 15 days of receiving such request.  Any arbitrator appointed by the AAA shall have significant experience as an arbitrator of cases involving complex commercial contracts.  The third arbitrator shall serve as Chairman of the Tribunal.  The Panel shall have the power to determine its own jurisdiction and shall render a single written decision.  The Panel may enter a default decision against any party who fails to participate in the arbitration proceedings.
 
7

 
 The decision of the Panel on the points in dispute will be final, conclusive, unappealable and binding.  The award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the parties.  Judgment on such award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  Without limiting the authority conferred on the Panel by this Agreement and the Rules, the Panel shall have the authority to award specific performance.
 
 The parties agree that this Section 11 has been adopted by the parties to rapidly and inexpensively resolve any disputes between them and that this Section 11 will be grounds for dismissal of any court action commenced by either party arising out of this Agreement, other than post-arbitration actions by either party seeking to enforce an arbitration award.  In the event that any court determines that this arbitration procedure is not binding, or otherwise allows any litigation regarding a dispute, claim, or controversy covered by this Agreement to proceed in court, the parties hereto hereby waive any and all right to a trial by jury in or with respect to such litigation.
 
 Each of the parties hereto hereby unconditionally and irrevocably consents to submit itself to (i) the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (the "New York Courts"), in any suit, action or proceeding seeking to compel arbitration and for preliminary injunctive relief to maintain the status quo or prevent irreparable harm or any other provisional remedy in aid of arbitration and to (ii) the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts to enforce an arbitral award rendered under this Agreement.  For purposes of the foregoing actions in (i) and (ii), each of the parties hereto (x) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat personal jurisdiction in the New York Courts by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and waives any objection based on forum non conveniens or any other objection to venue thereof and (y) unconditionally and irrevocably consents to the service of process outside the territorial jurisdiction of such court by delivery of copies thereof to the address of such party indicated in Section 9 and such service of process shall be deemed effective service of process on such party; provided, however, the foregoing shall not limit the right of any party to effect service of process on the other party by any other legally available method.
 
 The arbitration administration fees and arbitration administration expenses shall be borne equally by Consultant and TVCC, provided that Consultant and TVCC shall pay for and bear the costs of their own experts, evidence, and representation, and provided that the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of the costs and expenses detailed in this paragraph.
 
12.           ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT
 
 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and cancels and supersedes all prior agreements, proposals, negotiations, representations, discussions, and correspondence, either written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof.  No alterations, changes or amendments to this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties hereto.

13.           WAIVER
 
 No waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other breach or of the future performance of such provision.
 
14.           GOVERNING LAW
 
 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard for the provisions thereof regarding choice of law.  Any action to enforce this Agreement shall be brought in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, NY.
 
15.           SEVERABILITY
 
 If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be modified and construed in a manner which preserves the intent and effect of the remainder of this Agreement to the maximum extent permitted by law.
 
16.           RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES
 
 Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed or construed to create any relationship of principal and agent, partnership or joint venture between the parties.  In no event shall either party have, or assert, the right to bind the other for any purpose.
