            (b)   Assign U.S. citizens, who meet high standards of trustworthiness for maintaining the

                  Sensitive Information;

            (d)   Require that personnel handling Classified Information, if any, shall have been
                  granted appropriate U.S. security clearances; and

            (e)   Provide that the points of contact described in Section 3.4 shall have sufficient
                  authority over any of TerreStar’s employees who may handle Classified or Sensitive
                  Information to maintain the confidentiality and security of such information in
                  accordance with applicable U.S. legal authority and the terms of this Agreement.

3.7      Nondisclosure of Protected Data. TerreStar shall not directly or indirectly disclose
information concerning Lawful U.S. Process, Classified Information, or Sensitive Information to
any third party, or officer, director, shareholder, employee, agent, or Contractor of TerreStar (other
than an Outsourcing Contractor when authorized and when there is a need to know), including
those who serve in a supervisory, managerial or officer role with respect to the employees working
with the information, unless disclosure has been approved by prior written consent obtained from
the Government Parties, or there is an official need for disclosure of the information in order to
fulfill an obligation consistent with the purpose for which the information is collected or
maintained and the disclosure has been approved by the entity that provided the information to
TerreStar. Any such disclosure shall be in strict compliance with Section 3.5 of this Agreement.

TerreStar NSA                                             11


contact information for a senior manager to whom such information may be reported, and shall
also state that TerreStar will not discriminate against, or otherwise take adverse action against,
anyone who reports such information to management or the United States government.

3.9      Access to Classified or Sensitive Information. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
limit or affect the authority of a U.S. Government Authority to deny, limit, or revoke whatever access
TerreStar might have to Classified or Sensitive Information under that Government Authority’s
jurisdiction.

                                       ARTICLE 4: DISPUTES

4.1      Informal Resolution. The Parties shall use their best efforts to resolve any disagreements
that may arise under this Agreement. Disagreements shall be addressed, in the first instance, at the
staff level by the Parties’ designated representatives. Any disagreement that has not been resolved
at that level shall be submitted promptly to higher authorized officials, unless any of the
Government Parties believes that important national interests can be protected, or TerreStar
believes that its paramount commercial interests can be resolved, only by resorting to the measures
set forth in Section 4.2. If, after meeting with higher authorized officials, any of the Parties
determines that further negotiation would be fruitless, then that Party may resort to the remedies
set forth in Section 4.2. If resolution of a disagreement requires access to Classified Information,
the Parties shall designate a person or persons possessing the appropriate security clearances for
the purpose of resolving that disagreement.

4.2     Enforcement of Agreement. Subject to Section 4.1 of this Agreement, if any Party believes
that any other Party has breached or is about to breach this Agreement, that Party may bring an action
against the other Party for appropriate judicial relief. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or affect
the right of a U.S. Government Authority to:

            (a)   require that the Party or Parties believed to have breached, or about to breach, this
                  Agreement cure such breach within thirty (30) days, or whatever shorter time
                  period is appropriate under the circumstances, upon receiving written notice of
                  such breach;

            (b)   request that the FCC modify, condition, revoke, cancel, or render null and void any
                  license, permit, or other authorization granted or given by the FCC to TerreStar or
                  its Affiliates, request that the FCC take other action, or request that the FCC impose
                  any other appropriate sanction, including but not limited to a forfeiture or other
                  monetary penalty, against TerreStar or its Affiliates;

            (c)   seek civil sanctions for any violation of any U.S. law or regulation or term of this
                  Agreement; or

            (d)   pursue criminal sanctions against TerreStar or any of their respective directors,
                  officers, employees, representatives or agents, or against any other person or entity,
                  for violations of the criminal laws of the United States; or




TerreStar NSA                                             12


            (e)   seek suspension or debarment of TerreStar from eligibility for contracting with the
                  U.S. Government.

4.3      Irreparable Injury. TerreStar agrees that the United States would suffer irreparable injury
if for any reason TerreStar failed to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, and that
monetary relief would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, TerreStar agrees that, in seeking
to enforce this Agreement, the U.S. Parties shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy
available at law or equity, to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief.

4.4     Waiver. The availability of any civil remedy under this Agreement shall not prejudice the
exercise of any other civil remedy under this Agreement or under any provision of law, nor shall any
action taken by a Party in the exercise of any remedy be considered a waiver by that Party of any other
rights or remedies. The failure of any Party to insist on strict performance of any of the provisions of
this Agreement, or to exercise any right they grant, shall not be construed as a relinquishment or future
waiver; rather, the provision or right shall continue in full force. No waiver by any Party of any
provision or right shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by the Party.

4.5     Waiver of Immunity. TerreStar agrees that, to the extent that it or any of its property
(including FCC licenses and authorizations and intangible property) is or becomes entitled at any
time to any immunity on the ground of sovereignty or otherwise based upon a status as an agency
or instrumentality of government from any legal action, suit, or proceeding or from setoff or
counterclaim relating to this Agreement, from the jurisdiction of any competent court or the FCC,
from service of process, from attachment prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution
of a judgment, from execution pursuant to a judgment or arbitral award, or from any other legal
process in any jurisdiction, it, for itself and its property expressly, irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, and agrees not to plead or claim, any such immunity with respect to matters arising with
respect to this Agreement or the obligations herein (including any obligation for the payment of
money) in any proceeding brought by a U.S. federal, state or local Government Authority.
TerreStar agrees that the waiver in this provision is irrevocable and is not subject to withdrawal in
any jurisdiction or under any statute, including the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, 28 U.S.C.
§ 1602 et seq. The foregoing waiver shall constitute a present waiver of immunity at any time any
action is initiated by a U.S. federal, state or local Government Authority against TerreStar with
respect to compliance with this Agreement.

4.6     Forum Selection. Any civil action among the Parties for judicial relief with respect to any
dispute or matter whatsoever arising under, in connection with, or incident to, this Agreement shall be
brought, if at all, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.

4.7     Effectiveness of Article 4. This Article 4, and the obligations imposed and rights conferred
herein, shall become effective upon the execution of this Agreement by all the Parties.

                            ARTICLE 5: REPORTING AND NOTICE

5.1     Filings Concerning De Jure or De Facto Control of TerreStar. If TerreStar makes any filing
with the FCC or any other U.S. Government Authority relating to the de jure or de facto control of

TerreStar NSA                                            13


TerreStar shall promptly provide to the Government Parties written notice and copies of such filing.
This Section 5.1 shall become effective upon execution of this Agreement by all the Parties.

5.2     Changes in Ownership. If any member of the management of TerreStar (including officers
and members of the Board of Directors) acquires any information that reasonably indicates that
any single Foreign entity or individual, Foreign Governmental Authority, or Foreign
Governmental Authority-controlled entity – other than those already identified to the Government
Parties – has or will likely obtain an ownership interest (direct or indirect) in TerreStar of more
than 10 percent, as determined in accordance with 47 C.F.R. § 63.09, or if any Foreign entity or
individual, Foreign Governmental Authority, or Foreign Governmental Authority-controlled
entity singly or in combination with other Foreign entities or individuals, Foreign Governmental
Authority(ies), or Foreign Governmental Authority-controlled entities has or will likely otherwise
gain either (1) Control or (2) de facto or de jure control of TerreStar, then such Director, officer or
manager shall promptly cause TerreStar to notify the Government Parties in writing within ten (10)
calendar days. Notice under this Section 5.2 shall, at a minimum, if such information is known or
reasonably available:

            (a)    identify the Foreign entity or individual(s), Foreign Governmental Authority, or
                   Foreign Governmental Authority-controlled entity (specifying the name, addresses
                   and telephone numbers);

            (b)    identify the beneficial owners of the increased or prospective increased interest in
                   TerreStar by the Foreign entity or individual(s), Foreign Governmental Authority,
                   or Foreign Governmental Authority-controlled entity (specifying the name,
                   addresses and telephone numbers of each beneficial owner); and

            (c)    quantify the amount of ownership interest that the Foreign entity or individual(s),
                   Foreign Governmental Authority, or Foreign Governmental Authority-controlled
                   entity has or will likely obtain in TerreStar and, if applicable, the basis for its
                   prospective Control of TerreStar.

5.3    Joint Ventures. In the event that TerreStar enters into joint ventures or other arrangements
under which the joint venture or another entity may provide Domestic Communications:

            (a)    if TerreStar has the power or authority to exercise de facto or de jure control over
            such joint venture or entity, then TerreStar will require the entity to fully comply with the
            terms of this Agreement; or

            (b)      if TerreStar does not have de facto or de jure control over such joint venture or
            entity, the provisions of Section 5.4, Outsourcing Contracts, shall apply as if the joint
            venture or other arrangement was an Outsourcing Contract.

5.4   Outsourcing Contracts. TerreStar shall ensure the following with regard to any
Outsourcing Contracts, including any contracts for the resale or distribution of TerreStar Service:

            (a)    TerreStar shall include written provisions in any Outsourcing Contract that require
            the contractor to comply with all applicable terms of this Agreement and the



TerreStar NSA                                             14


            Implementation Plan, or shall take other reasonable, good-faith measures to ensure that the
            contractor is aware of, agrees to, and is bound to comply with all such terms.

            (b)     TerreStar shall not enter into any Outsourcing Contract that affords the contractor
            access to Sensitive Information, unless such access has been lawfully approved by the
            entity that provided the information.

            (c)     TerreStar shall not induce the contractor either to violate its obligations to TerreStar
            related to this Agreement or the Implementation Plan, or to take any action that, if taken by
            TerreStar, would violate this Agreement.

            (d)     If TerreStar receives any information that a contractor or any of its employees or
            agents has taken an action that, had it been taken by TerreStar, would violate a provision
            of this Agreement or the Implementation Plan, or has violated its obligations to TerreStar
            related to this Agreement or the Implementation Plan, TerreStar (1) will notify the
            Government Parties promptly, and (2) in consultation and cooperation with them, will take
            all reasonable steps necessary to rectify promptly the situation, including terminating the
            Outsourcing Contract (with or without notice and opportunity for cure) or initiating and
            pursuing litigation or other remedies at law and equity.

            (e)      Neither an Outsourcing Contract nor any provision of this Section 5.4 does nor
            shall it be construed to relieve TerreStar of any of its obligations under this Agreement or
            the Implementation Plan.

5.5     Notice of Foreign Influence. If TerreStar or its agent (including officers and members of
the Board of Directors) acquires any information that reasonably indicates that any Foreign entity
or individual, Foreign Governmental Authority, or Foreign Governmental Authority-controlled
entity plans to participate or has participated in any aspect of the day-to-day management of
TerreStar or to exercise any Control of TerreStar in such a way that (1) interferes with or impedes
the performance by TerreStar of its duties and obligations under the terms of this Agreement; (2)
interferes with or impedes the exercise by TerreStar of its rights under the Agreement; or (3) raises
a concern with respect to the fulfillment by TerreStar of its obligations under this Agreement, then

of the Foreign entity’s or individual’s, Foreign Governmental Authority’s, or Foreign
Governmental Authority-controlled entity’s plans or actions.

5.6    Procedure and Process on Reporting. Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date,
TerreStar shall adopt and distribute to all officers and directors a written procedure or process for
the reporting by officers and directors of noncompliance with this Agreement or the
Implementation Plan, which shall incorporate the notice of reporting obligations by officials,
employees, agents and contractors required under Section 3.8 of this Agreement. Any violation by
TerreStar of any material term of such corporate policy shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.

5.7     Non-retaliation. Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, TerreStar shall, by duly
authorized action of its Board of Directors, adopt and distribute to all officers and directors an
official corporate policy that strictly prohibits TerreStar from discriminating or taking any adverse
action against any officer, director, employee, contractor, or agent because he or she has in good

faith initiated or attempted to initiate a notice or report under Sections 5.2, 5.5, or 5.8 of this

she believes in good faith is required to be reported to the Government Parties under either
Sections 5.2, 5.5, or 5.8 of this Agreement or under TerreStar’s written notice to employees on the
reporting of any such information. Any violation by TerreStar of any material term of such
corporate policy shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.

6.1     Confidentiality. The Government Parties shall take all measures required by law to protect
from public disclosure all information submitted by TerreStar (or other entities in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement including the Implementation Plan) to them in connection with this
Agreement and clearly marked with the legend “Business Confidential; subject to protection under

position that the information so marked constitutes “trade secrets” and/or “commercial or financial
information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential,” or otherwise warrants
protection within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4). For the purposes of 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4),
the Parties agree that information so marked is voluntarily submitted. If a request is made under

procedures required by law, including those specified in Executive Order 12600, 52 Fed. Reg.

Agreement shall prevent the Government Parties or any other U.S. Governmental Authority from
lawfully disseminating this Agreement or using any information produced under or otherwise
related to this Agreement to seek enforcement of this Agreement, or for any other lawful purpose.

                               ARTICLE 7: FCC CONDITION

7.1     FCC Approval. Upon the execution of this Agreement, including the Implementation Plan,

or pending FCC authorizations, substantially the same as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (the
“Condition to FCC Authorization”).

7.2     Right to Object to Future FCC Filings. TerreStar agrees that in any application or petition
by TerreStar, filed with or granted by the FCC after the execution of this Agreement by all the

transfers of control), and to seek additional or different terms that would, consistent with the public
interest, address any concerns regarding the ability of the United States to enforce the laws,
preserve the national security, and protect the public safety, raised by the services and transactions
underlying any such application or petition.

possible modifications to this Agreement if TerreStar believes that the obligations imposed on it

enforcement, and public safety concerns. Any substantial modification to this Agreement shall be
reported to the FCC within thirty (30) days after approval in writing by the Parties. For purposes of

modification to this Agreement.

8.7     Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable and if any provision
thereof or the application of such provision under any circumstances is held invalid by a court of
competent jurisdiction, it shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or the application
of any provision thereof.

8.8     Changes in Circumstances for TerreStar. The Government Parties agree to negotiate in
good faith and promptly with respect to any request by TerreStar for relief from application of
specific provisions of this Agreement if those provisions become unduly burdensome or have an
adverse affect on TerreStar’s competitive position.

8.9     Changes in Circumstances for the Government Parties. If after the date that all the Parties

Domestic Communications in the United States, unless any of the Government Parties, within that
30-day period, seeks additional information or objects to the suspension.

8.15 Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall be terminated in its entirety upon the
written determination of the Government Parties that TerreStar has provided notice and reasonably
satisfactory documentation that no foreign entity or combination of foreign entities (including one
or more persons under common Control) either Controls TerreStar or holds, directly or indirectly,
a ten (10) percent or greater interest in TerreStar, and that this Agreement is no longer necessary
to in order to protect U.S. national security, law enforcement, or public safety concerns. It is
expressly acknowledged that this Agreement shall not be terminated with respect to TerreStar



TerreStar NSA                                         20


during such time as the TerreStar Service is provided or facilitated within the United States by
TerreStar via any facilities or equipment, including but not limited to any land earth station,
located outside of the U.S. If this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to this provision, the
Government Parties agree to consider promptly and in good faith possible modifications to this
Agreement.

advance notice to the Government Parties in the event that TerreStar or any Affiliate changes or
intends to change its present services with respect to Domestic Communications, as set forth in the
Recitals to this Agreement, such that the material representations made therein are no longer fully
accurate, true and complete. In no event will such notice relieve any Party to this Agreement of

Cayman Islands exempted company, and Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P.,
which is a Delaware limited partnership (collectively, the “Harbinger Funds”) are shareholders of
TerreStar. In light of the fact that one of the Harbinger Funds is organized under the laws of another
country, and in light of the fact that the Harbinger Funds have a substantial minority interest in
TerreStar, the Government Parties, in accordance with their policies, have requested, and the
Harbinger Funds have agreed, that the Harbinger Funds execute this Agreement to acknowledge its
terms.
