This Termination and Exchange Form is to be completed by holders of options (“MSV options”) to purchase limited partnership interests of Mobile Satellite Ventures LP (“MSV”) who wish to participate in the offer by SkyTerra Communications, Inc. (“SkyTerra”). SkyTerra will issue options (“SkyTerra options”) to purchase shares of common stock of SkyTerra, par value $0.01 per share (“SkyTerra common stock”), in exchange for your irrevocable agreement to forego your MSV options and any rights you may have under the Mobile Satellite Ventures LP 2001 Unit Incentive Plan and any amendments thereto (the “MSV Plan”), and release SkyTerra, MSV and their respective affiliates from any claims you may have under the MSV Plan and with respect to such MSV options, at a ratio of 2.82 SkyTerra options for each MSV option terminated, with an exercise price equal to the exercise price of the MSV options terminated divided by 2.82. The exchange ratio is equal to the exchange ratio SkyTerra paid other limited partners of MSV in a series of transactions, referred to herein as the “Exchange Transactions,” that resulted in SkyTerra owning approximately 99.3% of the outstanding limited partnership interests of MSV, and reflects a value of approximately $             per limited partnership interest of MSV, based on the closing price of SkyTerra common stock on                     , 2008 of $             per share. You must agree in the manner set forth herein to forego all MSV options you hold in order to participate in the offer. Each SkyTerra option acquired in the offer will be exercisable for one share of SkyTerra common stock. SkyTerra options issued in the offer will not be transferable other than in the limited circumstances described in the Prospectus. Except as described in the Prospectus, the SkyTerra options offered by SkyTerra will have terms generally consistent with the MSV options you have under the MSV Plan, including, but not

limited to, the same vesting and expiration schedule as the MSV options terminated in exchange for such SkyTerra options.

Participants in the offer will not be permitted, without the express permission of SkyTerra’s board of directors, to transfer shares of SkyTerra common stock issued upon exercise of the SkyTerra options received in this offer until May 1, 2010, subject to the exceptions described in the Prospectus. THE SHARES OF SKYTERRA COMMON STOCK ISSUED UPON EXERCISE OF THE SKYTERRA OPTIONS RECEIVED IN THIS OFFER ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. IN ADDITION, THE TERMS OF THIS OFFER ARE DIFFERENT FOR CANADIAN RESIDENTS CHOOSING TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS OFFER DUE TO THE CANADIAN TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM. SEE THE PROSPECTUS FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.

The SkyTerra options are subject to expiration prior to their scheduled expiration dates under certain circumstances relating to the termination of your employment. See the sections of the Prospectus entitled “This Offering—Lockup,” “Questions and Answers about this Offering—Will My SkyTerra options (or MSV options for Canadian Residents) Expire if I Leave MSV?” and “Description of SkyTerra options—Term” for complete descriptions of the terms of the lockup and the SkyTerra options you will receive should you choose to participate in the offer. Any holder of MSV options who would otherwise be entitled to receive SkyTerra options to purchase a fractional interest in our common stock will receive options to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to the fractional interest rounded up to the next whole number.

The offer as described herein is being made on the terms and is subject to all the conditions set forth in the Prospectus.

NOTE:    SIGNATURE(S) MUST BE PROVIDED BELOW. PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS SET FORTH IN THIS TERMINATION AND EXCHANGE FORM.

(“SkyTerra”) on the terms offered to residents of Canada. SkyTerra will issue options (“SkyTerra options”) to purchase shares of common stock of SkyTerra, par value $0.01 per share (“SkyTerra common stock”) at a ratio of 2.82 SkyTerra options for each MSV option terminated, with an exercise price equal to the exercise price of the MSV options terminated divided by 2.82.

Except as described in the Prospectus, the SkyTerra options offered by SkyTerra will have terms generally consistent with the MSV options you have under the MSV Plan, including, but not limited to, the same vesting and expiration schedule as the MSV options terminated in exchange for such SkyTerra options.

Participants in the offer will not be permitted, without the express permission of SkyTerra’s board of directors, to transfer shares of SkyTerra common stock issued upon exercise of the SkyTerra options received in connection with this offer until May 1, 2010, subject to the exceptions described in the Prospectus.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned hereby consents to the terms of the offer on the terms offered to residents of Canada, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in accordance with this Canadian Termination and Exchange Form (which, as amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the “Offer”). These terms include (i) the termination, at the time and subject to the conditions set out below, of all MSV options held by the undersigned pursuant to the Offer, which number of options is listed in the table above entitled “Description of MSV Options Held” under the row heading “Total Number of MSV Options Held by the Undersigned,” and in the event that such number of MSV options listed does not equal the total number of MSV options held by the undersigned, the undersigned consents to submit for termination all the MSV options held by the undersigned; (ii) subject to the exceptions described below, the undersigned’s retroactive covenant to fully and finally release any rights, claims or causes of action arising under or related to the MSV Plan; (iii) subject to the exceptions described below, the full and final release by the undersigned of SkyTerra, MSV and their respective affiliates of any rights, claims, or cause of action the undersigned may have arising under or related to the MSV options; (iv) the terms and conditions of SkyTerra options, as set forth in the Exchange Stock Option Agreement to be delivered on the date of exchange; and (v) as set forth in the Prospectus and the Exchange Stock Option Agreement, the agreement of the undersigned not to sell, transfer or dispose, without the express permission of SkyTerra’s board of directors or unless this lockup provision is automatically terminated as described in the Prospectus, shares of SkyTerra’s common stock issued upon exercise of the SkyTerra options received in connection with the Offer until May 1, 2010 (the “Lockup Period”), subject to the exceptions described in the Prospectus. Further, the undersigned expressly agrees and acknowledges that, by the completion, execution and delivery hereof, the undersigned makes and delivers the written consent to the items set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above with respect to all the MSV options held by the undersigned.

As further described in the Prospectus, as a Canadian resident who has chosen to participate in this Offer on the terms offered only to residents of Canada, by the completion, execution and delivery of this form, the undersigned hereby consents to the items set forth below:

1. Subject to 4 below, the undersigned will make the exchange on the tenth business day after the lockup is released to the extent the undersigned is still employed by MSV at such time or the undersigned has previously terminated his or her employment for “good reason” or the undersigned’s employment was terminated “without cause” (as defined in the Prospectus).

2. Except for any options the undersigned has that qualify for the extended one-year-post liquidity exercise benefit (see the section in the Prospectus entitled “Questions and Answers About the Offering—If I Have Exchanged MSV Options for SkyTerra Options, What Happens If I Voluntarily Terminate My Employment?”) and subject to 4 below, the undersigned will make the exchange on the tenth business day following the undersigned’s voluntary termination of his or her employment or service with MSV and the SkyTerra options the undersigned will then hold will expire on the 90th day following such termination. The lockup on any SkyTerra common stock the undersigned holds will continue in effect in accordance with the lockup release schedule.

3. Prior to the release of the lockup, or termination of the undersigned’s employment, the undersigned will remain entitled to exercise his or her MSV options in accordance with their

 

A-3


terms; however, the undersigned will agree, at the time of election to participate in this Offer, that if the undersigned exercises his or her MSV options at any time prior to the release of the lockup, the undersigned will be deemed to have withdrawn from participating in this Offer and any MSV limited partnership interests acquired as a result of such exercise may not be transferred to any person other than SkyTerra and its subsidiaries, which shall be under no obligation to make the exchange.

4. At the time of release from the lockup (or termination of employment), the undersigned may choose to retain his or her MSV options and allow them to expire in accordance with their terms rather than exchange such MSV options for SkyTerra options; however, the undersigned will agree, at the time of election to participate in this Offer, that if the undersigned foregoes exchanging his or her MSV options for SkyTerra options at the time of the release of the lockup (or termination of employment), the undersigned will not exercise his or her MSV options at all. If the undersigned chooses to retain his or her MSV options and allows them to expire in accordance with their terms rather than exchange such MSV options for SkyTerra options, the undersigned must notify SkyTerra at the address set forth on the back cover page of this Canadian Termination and Exchange Form by completing and executing the notification form attached as Exhibit A hereto.
