The Reporting Persons have entered into amendments to agreements regarding the
acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer for investment. Other than as
expressly set forth in Item 4 and Item 6 herein, the Reporting Persons have no
plans or proposals as of the date of this filing which relate to, or would
result in, any of the actions enumerated in Item 4 of the instructions to
Schedule 13D.
On January 7, 2009, Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. (the "Master
Fund"), Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P. (the "Special
Fund"), the Issuer, SkyTerra LP (formerly named Mobile Satellite Ventures LP)
("SkyTerra LP") and SkyTerra Finance Co. (formerly named MSV Finance Co.)
("SkyTerra Finance"), entered into Amendment No. 1 (the "SPA Amendment") to the
Securities Purchase Agreement between the Master Fund, the Special Fund, the
Issuer, SkyTerra LP and SkyTerra Finance (collectively, the "SPA Parties"),
dated July 24, 2008 (as amended, the "Securities Purchase Agreement").
Pursuant to the SPA Amendment, the SPA Parties have agreed that certain of the
conditions to the obligations of the Master Fund and the Special Fund to
consummate the closing of the second of the four previously announced issuances
of SkyTerra LP's Senior Notes due 2013 (the "Notes") on April 1, 2009 will be
deemed satisfied by the delivery of a certificate from management of the Issuer,
subject to certain exceptions. The SPA Amendment also increases the rate of
interest on the Notes from 16% to 18% per annum.
The SPA Amendment increases the aggregate number of shares of the Issuer's
voting common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or non-voting common stock, par
value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock") issuable pursuant to warrants to be
issued to the Master Fund and the Special Fund from 25.0 million shares to 32.50
million shares. The warrants to be issued to the Master Fund and the Special
Fund upon the closing of the second of the four issuances of the Notes on April
1, 2009 will represent a right to purchase an aggregate of 21.25 million shares
of Common Stock, at an initial exercise price of $0.01 per share, instead of
17.50 million shares of Common Stock as originally contemplated by the
Securities Purchase Agreement. The Issuer has also agreed to issue warrants to
the Master Fund and the Special Fund to purchase an aggregate of 3.75 million
shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $0.01 per share upon the
closing of the last of the four issuances of the Notes on January 4, 2010.
Additionally, in connection with the entry into the SPA Amendment, on January 7,
2009, the Issuer, SkyTerra LP, SkyTerra Subsidiary LLC (formerly named Mobile
Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC) ("SkyTerra Subsidiary"), the Master Fund, the
Special Fund, Harbinger Capital Partners Fund I, L.P. (the "Capital Fund"), and
Harbinger Co-Investment Fund, L.P. (together with the Master Fund, the Special
Fund and the Capital Fund, "Harbinger") entered into a Second Amendment (the
"MCSA Amendment") to the Master Contribution and Support Agreement between the
Issuer, SkyTerra LP, SkyTerra Subsidiary and Harbinger, dated July 24, 2008, as
amended (the "Master Contribution Agreement"). The MCSA Amendment modifies
certain of the restrictions on the Issuer's conduct of business during the term
of the Master Contribution Agreement.
Also on January 7, 2009, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) the
Master Fund purchased Notes with an aggregate principal value of $112,500,000,
and the Special Fund purchased Notes with an aggregate principal value of
$37,500,000 and (ii) and the Issuer issued the Master Fund a warrant to purchase
5,625,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $0.01 per share
and the Issuer issued the Special Fund a warrant to purchase 1,875,000 shares of
Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $0.01 per share, in each case, on
the form of January 2009 Warrant attached as an Exhibit to the SPA Amendment.
A copy of the SPA Amendment is filed as Exhibit T hereto and is incorporated
herein by reference. A copy of the forms of the January 2009 Warrant, April 2009
Warrant, January 2010 Warrant and Indenture that constitute the exhibits
attached to the SPA Amendment are filed as Exhibits U, V, W and X hereto and are
incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the MCSA Amendment is filed as
Exhibit Y hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The descriptions set
forth herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the SPA Amendment,
January 2009 Warrant, April 2009 Warrant, January 2010 Warrant, Indenture and

The Reporting Persons reserve the right to be in contact with members of the
Issuer's management, the members of the Board of Directors, other significant
stockholders and others regarding alternatives that the Issuer could employ to
increase stockholder value.
The Reporting Persons reserve the right to effect transactions that would change
