[Docket No. 141] (as may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Plan”) to holders of Claims and Equity Interests entitled to vote on the Plan for the purpose of soliciting votes to accept the Plan.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Disclosure Statement shall have the meaning given to those terms in the Plan; the terms of which are adopted and incorporated here by reference.  Nothing in this Disclosure Statement may be relied upon or used by any entity for any other purpose.
 
This Disclosure Statement may not be deemed as providing any legal, financial, securities, tax or business advice.  The TSC Debtors urge any holder of a Claim or Equity Interest to consult with its own advisors for any legal, financial, securities, tax or business advice in reviewing this Disclosure Statement, the Plan and each of the proposed transactions contemplated thereby.  The Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the adequacy of the disclosure contained in this Disclosure Statement does not constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the merits of the Plan.  The TSC Debtors have not authorized any entity to give any information about or concerning the Plan other than the information contained in this Disclosure Statement.  The TSC Debtors have not authorized any representations concerning the TSC Debtors or the value of their property other than as set forth in this Disclosure Statement.
 
The TSC Debtors urge every holder of a Claim or Equity Interest entitled to vote on the Plan to (1) read the entire Disclosure Statement and Plan carefully, (2) consider all of the information in this Disclosure Statement, including, importantly, the risk factors described in section XI of this Disclosure Statement and (3) consult with your own advisors with respect to reviewing this Disclosure Statement, the Plan and all documents that are attached or were filed in connection with the Plan and Disclosure Statement before deciding whether to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
 
This Disclosure Statement contains summaries of the Plan, certain statutory provisions, events in the TSC Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases and certain documents related to the Plan.  Although the TSC Debtors believe that these summaries are fair and accurate, the same are all qualified in their entirety.  In the event of any inconsistency or discrepancy between a description in this Disclosure Statement and the terms and provisions of the Plan or other referenced documents, the Plan or other referenced documents will govern for all purposes.  Except where otherwise specifically noted, factual information contained in this Disclosure Statement has been provided by the TSC Debtors’ management.  The TSC Debtors do not represent or warrant that the information contained in or attached to this Disclosure Statement is without any material inaccuracy or omission.
 
Although the TSC Debtors have used their reasonable business judgment to ensure the accuracy of the financial information contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this Disclosure Statement, much of that financial information has not been audited.  The TSC Debtors are generally making the statements and providing the financial information contained in this Disclosure Statement as of the date hereof where feasible, unless otherwise specifically noted.  Although the TSC Debtors may subsequently update the information in this Disclosure Statement, the TSC Debtors have no affirmative duty to do so, and parties reviewing this Disclosure Statement should be aware that, at the time of their review, the facts may have changed since this Disclosure Statement was filed.

Neither this Disclosure Statement nor the Plan is or should be construed as an admission of fact, liability, stipulation or waiver, and nothing stated herein shall be admissible in any proceeding involving the TSC Debtors or any other person, or be deemed conclusive evidence of the tax or other legal effects of the Plan on the TSC Debtors or holders of Claims or Equity Interests.  Rather, holders of Claims and Equity Interests and other parties in interest should construe this Disclosure Statement as a statement made in settlement negotiations related to contested matters, adversary proceedings and other pending or threatened litigation or actions.  The TSC Debtors or the Reorganized TSC Debtors may seek to investigate, file and prosecute Causes of Action and may object to Claims after the Confirmation or Effective Date irrespective of whether this Disclosure Statement identifies any such Causes of Action or objections to Claims.

SPECIAL NOTICE REGARDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS
 
Neither this Disclosure Statement nor the Plan has been filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or any state authority.  The Plan has not been approved or disapproved by the SEC or any state securities commission, and neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Disclosure Statement or the merits of the Plan.  Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
 
This Disclosure Statement has been prepared pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1125 and Bankruptcy Rule 3016(b) and is not necessarily in accordance with federal or state securities laws or other similar laws.  The securities to be issued on or after the Effective Date will not have been the subject of a registration statement filed with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any securities regulatory authority of any state under any state securities law (“Blue Sky Law”).  The TSC Debtors are relying on the exemption from the Securities Act and equivalent state law registration requirements provided by Bankruptcy Code section 1145(a), to exempt the issuance of new securities in connection with the solicitation and the Plan from registration under the Securities Act and Blue Sky Law.
 
This Disclosure Statement contains “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such statements consist of any statement other than a recitation of historical fact and can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology, such as “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate” or “continue” or the negative thereof, as well as any similar or comparable language.  You are cautioned that all forward looking statements are necessarily speculative, and there are certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those referred to in such forward looking statements.  The Liquidation Analysis, financial projections and other information contained herein and attached hereto are estimates only, and the timing and amount of actual distributions to holders of Allowed Claims and Equity Interests may be affected by many factors that cannot be predicted.  Any analyses, estimates or recovery projections may or may not turn out to be accurate.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 
 
A.
Overview of this Disclosure Statement and the Executive Summary
 
On October 19, 2010 (the “October Petition Date”), the Other TSC Debtors, together with TerreStar Networks Inc. (“TSN”) and certain other of its affiliates (collectively, excluding the Other TSC Debtors, the “TSN Debtors” and, including the Other TSC Debtors, the “October Debtors”), each filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”).  Subsequently, on February 16, 2011 (the “February Petition Date”), the February Debtors each filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Chapter 11 Cases of the February Debtors and the Other TSC Debtors–collectively, the TSC Debtors–are being jointly administered under lead case number 11-10612 (SHL).
 
The TSC Debtors (and, as reorganized pursuant to the Plan, the “Reorganized TSC Debtors”) submit this Disclosure Statement pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1125 to holders of Claims against and Equity Interests in the TSC Debtors because the TSC Debtors are asking holders of Claims and Equity Interests to accept the Plan.2  A copy of the Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
 
Before soliciting acceptances of a proposed chapter 11 plan of reorganization, Bankruptcy Code section 1125 requires a debtor to prepare a disclosure statement that contains information of a kind, and in sufficient detail, to permit a hypothetical reasonable investor to make an informed judgment regarding acceptance of the plan of reorganization.  The Bankruptcy Court approved this Disclosure Statement at a hearing held on January 10, 2012.  A copy of the order approving the Disclosure Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Disclosure Statement Order”).
 
A hearing to consider Confirmation of the Plan is scheduled to be held before the Honorable Sean H. Lane at 10:00 a.m. prevailing Eastern time on March 7, 2012, at the Bankruptcy Court, located at One Bowling Green, New York, New York 10004-1408.  Additional details with respect to Confirmation are provided in section X of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Confirmation of the Plan.”
 
This Disclosure Statement contains, among other things, descriptions and summaries of certain provisions of, and financial transactions contemplated by, the Plan being proposed by the TSC Debtors.  Certain provisions of the Plan (and the descriptions and summaries contained herein) may be the subject of continuing negotiations among the TSC Debtors and various parties and therefore may be modified.
 
This Executive Summary is only a general overview of this Disclosure Statement and the material terms of, and transactions proposed by, the Plan, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed discussions appearing elsewhere in this Disclosure Statement and the exhibits attached to this Disclosure Statement, including the Plan.
 
 
B.
Purpose and Effect of the Plan
 
The TSC Debtors are reorganizing under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, which is the principal business reorganization chapter of the Bankruptcy Code.  Under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, a debtor may reorganize its business for the benefit of its stakeholders.  The consummation of a plan of reorganization is the principal objective of a chapter 11 case.  A plan of reorganization sets forth how a debtor will treat its claims and equity interests.
 
                                                                  
2 Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Disclosure Statement will have the meanings set forth in the Plan.  Please note that the description of the Plan provided throughout this Disclosure Statement is only a summary provided for convenience.  In the case of any inconsistency between the summary of the Plan in this Disclosure Statement and the Plan, the Plan will govern.
 
 
1

 
 
A bankruptcy court’s confirmation of a plan binds the debtor, any entity or person acquiring property under the plan, any creditor of or equity security holder in a debtor and any other entities and persons as may be ordered by the bankruptcy court to the terms of the confirmed plan, whether or not such creditor or equity security holder is impaired under or has voted to accept the plan or receives or retains any property under the plan.
 
Among other things (subject to certain limited exceptions and except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order), the Confirmation Order will discharge the TSC Debtors from any debt arising before the Effective Date, substitute the obligations set forth in the Plan for those pre-bankruptcy claims and terminate all of the rights and interests of pre-bankruptcy equity security holders.  Under the Plan, Claims and Equity Interests are divided into Classes according to their relative priority and other criteria.
 
Each of the TSC Debtors is a proponent of the Plan within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code section 1129.  As described throughout this Disclosure Statement, the Plan provides for a comprehensive restructuring of the TSC Debtors’ pre-bankruptcy obligations, preserves the going-concern value of TSC Debtors, maximizes recoveries available to all constituents and provides for an equitable distribution to the TSC Debtors’ stakeholders.
 
In developing the Plan, the TSC Debtors, with the assistance of their professional advisors, conducted a careful review of their current operations, their prospects as an ongoing business, financial projections included in the business plan developed by management and estimated recoveries in a liquidation scenario.  Following this review, the TSC Debtors concluded that recoveries to their stakeholders would be maximized by the TSC Debtors’ continued operations as a going concern and by the TSC Debtors’ emergence from chapter 11 with the structure proposed in the Plan.
 
The TSC Debtors believe that their businesses and assets have significant value that would not be realized in a liquidation, either in whole or in substantial part.  Consistent with the valuation, liquidation and other analyses prepared by the TSC Debtors with the assistance of their advisors (see Exhibits D, E and F attached hereto), the value of the TSC Debtors is substantially greater as a going concern than in a liquidation.  The TSC Debtors also believe that any alternative to Confirmation, such as an attempt by another party to file a competing plan, would result in significant delays, litigation and additional costs, and could negatively affect the value of the TSC Debtors’ estates, which could ultimately lower the recoveries for all holders of Allowed Claims and Equity Interests.
 
ACCORDINGLY, FOR ALL OF THESE REASONS AND THE OTHER REASONS
DESCRIBED IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, THE TSC DEBTORS URGE YOU
TO RETURN YOUR BALLOT ACCEPTING THE PLAN BY THE VOTING DEADLINE.
 
 
C.
Summary of Treatment of Claims and Equity Interests and Description of Recoveries Under the Plan
 
 
(i)
Summary of Classification of Claims and Equity Interests Under the Plan
 
 
The Plan organizes the TSC Debtors’ creditor and equity constituencies into groups called “Classes.”  For each Class, the Plan describes (a) the underlying “Claim” or “Equity Interest,” (b) the recovery available to the holders of Claims or Equity Interests in that Class under the Plan, (c) whether the Class is “impaired” under the Plan, meaning that each holder will receive less than the full value on account of its Claim or Equity Interest or that the rights of holders under law will be altered in some way (such as receiving stock instead of holding a Claim) and (d) the form of consideration (e.g., cash, stock or a combination thereof), if any, that such holders will receive on account of their respective Claims or Equity Interests.
 
The table below provides a summary of the classification and description of Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan.  This information is provided in summary form below for illustrative purposes only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Plan.  For a more detailed description of the treatment of Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan, see section VIII of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Description of the Joint Plan of Reorganization.”

Payment of Statutory Fees.  Statutory fees include all U.S. Trustee quarterly fees payable under 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a)(6), plus interest due and payable under 31 U.S.C. § 3717, on all disbursements, including Plan payments and disbursements in and outside the ordinary course of the TSC Debtors’ businesses, until the entry of an order closing the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 350(a), dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases or conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
Under the proposed Plan, holders of Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims, Allowed DIP Claims and all statutory fees will be paid in full, in Cash, or will otherwise be left Unimpaired or granted such other treatment as agreed between the TSC Debtors and the applicable creditor, all as further provided in Article III of the Plan and Section VIII of this Disclosure Statement.
 
 
(ii)
Summary of Treatment, Estimated Range of Recoveries and Voting Rights of Claims and Equity Interests Under the Plan
 
As described in further detail in the table below, the Plan provides that holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims will receive full satisfaction of their Claims, in the form of the New TSC Notes.  The remaining value of the Reorganized TSC Debtors will be transferred to the holders of TSC Series A and B Preferred Shares in the form of the New Common Stock of Reorganized TSC.  After taking into account the value distributed to unsecured creditors, and assuming that the Claims asserted by Elektrobit Inc. (“Elektrobit”), Van Vlissingen and Company, Jefferies & Company, Inc. (“Jefferies”) and other vendors are allowed in full, the equity value of Reorganized TSC being transferred to the holders of TSC Series A and B Preferred Shares is between $144.8 million3 and $154.8 million, while the face value of the interests held by the holders of TSC Series A Preferred Shares is $90 million and TSC Series B Preferred Shares is $318.5 million (not including amounts owed on account of earned but unpaid dividends).  In the event the Claims asserted by Elektrobit, Van Vlissingen and Company and Jefferies are disallowed in their entirety, the equity value of Reorganized TSC being transferred to the holders of TSC Series A and B Preferred Shares is between $177.2 million and $187.2 million.  Accordingly, after repaying the holders of TSC Series A and B Preferred Shares, there is simply no value remaining to distribute to any other equity interest holders.
 
The table below summarizes the classification, status, voting rights, treatment and estimated range of recoveries of classified Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan.  These summaries are described in the form below for illustrative purposes only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the provisions of the Plan.  The projected range of Unsecured Claims in this Disclosure Statement is based on both (a) scheduled Claims and (b) Claims filed by certain parties in interest against the TSC Debtors’ estates (as adjusted to reflect disallowed and expunged claims).  Additionally, many of the Claims that were initially scheduled by the TSC Debtors were listed as contingent, unliquidated and/or disputed, and as a result, the amount of such Claims is not captured as part of the low range of estimated claims provided herein.  The high-end range of estimated Claims refers to all filed Claims against the TSC Debtors that have not been allowed in a lower amount or disallowed.  Since the filing of the Plan, certain of these Claims have already been expunged from the claims register [Docket Nos. 176, 234, 286].  Accordingly, the TSC Debtors believe that the true amount of Allowed Unsecured Claims is significantly less than $35 million.
 
For a more detailed description of the treatment of Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan, see section VIII of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Description of the Joint Plan of Reorganization.”

III.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING
THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AND THE PLAN
 
 
A.
What is Chapter 11?
 
Chapter 11 is the principal business reorganization chapter of the Bankruptcy Code.  In addition to permitting debtor rehabilitation, chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code promotes equality of treatment for similarly situated creditors and similarly situated interest holders, subject to the priority of distributions prescribed by the Bankruptcy Code.
 
The commencement of a chapter 11 case creates an estate that includes all of the legal and equitable interests of the debtor in property as of the bankruptcy commencement date.  The Bankruptcy Code provides that the debtor may continue to operate its business and remain in possession of its property as a “debtor in possession.”
 
Consummating a plan of reorganization is the principal objective of a chapter 11 case.  A plan that is confirmed by the bankruptcy court is binding on the debtor, any person acquiring property under the plan, any creditor or interest holder of the debtor and any other entity as may be ordered by the bankruptcy court, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.  Subject to certain limited exceptions, the order issued by a bankruptcy court confirming a plan provides for the treatment of the debtor’s claims and equity interests in accordance with the terms of the confirmed plan.
 
 
B.
Why are the TSC Debtors sending me this Disclosure Statement?
 
The TSC Debtors are seeking to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval of the Plan.  Before soliciting acceptances of the Plan, Bankruptcy Code section 1125 requires the TSC Debtors to prepare a Disclosure Statement containing adequate information of a kind, and in sufficient detail, to enable a hypothetical reasonable investor to make an informed judgment regarding acceptance of the Plan.  On January 10, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court held a hearing to approve, and subsequently entered an order approving, the Disclosure Statement pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1125.  A copy of the Disclosure Statement Order is attached hereto as Exhibit B.  This Disclosure Statement is being submitted to the TSC Debtors’ stakeholders in accordance with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and the Disclosure Statement Order.
 
 
C.
Am I entitled to vote on the Plan?  What will I receive from the TSC Debtors if the Plan is consummated?
 
Your ability to vote and the distribution and consideration that you will receive under the Plan, if any, depend on what kind of claim or interest you hold.  As described in section VIII of this Disclosure Statement, Article III of the Plan creates categories of holders of claims and interests, each of which is referred to as a “Class.”  A summary of the Classes of Claims and Equity Interests and a description of each Class’s voting status are set forth in the Executive Summary of this Disclosure Statement.
 
You should refer to this entire Disclosure Statement and the Plan for a complete description of the classification and treatment of each Class of Claims and Equity Interests.
 
For more information about the treatment of Claims and Equity Interests, see “Description of the Joint Plan of Reorganization,” which begins on page 35.
 
 
D.
If the Plan provides that I get a distribution, do I get it upon Confirmation or when the Plan goes effective, and what do you mean when you refer to “Confirmation,” the “Effective Date” and “consummation”?
 
“Confirmation” refers to approval of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court.  Confirmation does not guarantee that you will receive the distribution indicated under the Plan.  After Confirmation, there are certain conditions that need to be satisfied or waived so that the Plan can be consummated or become effective.  References to the “Effective Date” mean the date that all conditions to the Plan have been satisfied or waived and the Plan has been fully consummated.  Distributions will be made only on the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, in accordance with Article III of the Plan (and for claims that are not yet Allowed, distributions will be further delayed).  See “Confirmation of the Plan,” which begins on page 49, for a discussion of the conditions to consummation.
 
 
15

 
 
 
E.
If the Plan applies solely to the TSC Debtors, what happens to a claim I may have against a related debtor not included in the Plan?
 
The Plan applies to the TSC Debtors only–namely, TerreStar Corporation, Motient Communications Inc., Motient Holdings Inc., Motient License Inc., Motient Services Inc., Motient Ventures Holding Inc., MVH Holdings Inc., TerreStar Holdings Inc. and TerreStar New York Inc.  The Plan does not apply to the TSN Debtors–namely, TerreStar Networks Inc., TerreStar License Inc., TerreStar National Services Inc., TerreStar Networks (Canada) Inc., TerreStar Networks Holdings (Canada) Inc. and 0887729 B.C. Ltd.–who received Bankruptcy Court approval to sell substantially all of their assets to Gamma Acquisition L.L.C., an affiliate of DISH Network Corporation.  The TSN Debtors have filed a plan that proposes to provide for the distribution of the proceeds from such sale [TSN Docket No.850].  Creditors with claims against the TSN Debtors will receive separate notice of the proposed plan for the TSN Debtors.
 
 
F.
What is included in the solicitation packages to be sent to creditors who are eligible to vote on the Plan?
 
All parties in interest will receive notice of the Confirmation Hearing, which is the hearing at which the TSC Debtors will seek Confirmation.  Additionally, creditors who are eligible to vote on the Plan will receive appropriate solicitation materials, including ballots.  Specifically, accompanying this Disclosure Statement are, among other things, copies of:  (1) the Plan (attached as Exhibit A hereto), (2) the notice of, among other things, the time for submitting ballots to accept or reject the Plan, the date, time and place of the hearing to consider the Confirmation of the Plan and related matters and the time for filing objections to the Confirmation of the Plan (the “Confirmation Hearing Notice”) and (3) if you are entitled to vote, one or more ballots (and return envelopes) to be used by you in voting to accept or to reject the Plan (collectively, the “Solicitation Package”).
 
The notices to be sent to parties in interest will state that this Disclosure Statement, the Plan and all of the exhibits thereto are available for viewing by any party free of charge by contacting The Garden City Group, Inc. at:  (i)  1-888-872-9182, (ii) TerreStarCorp@gcginc.com or (iii) www.TerreStarCorpRestructuring.com.

The Bankruptcy Court has scheduled the Confirmation Hearing for March 7, 2012 to take place at 10:00 a.m. (prevailing Eastern time) before the Honorable Sean H. Lane, United States Bankruptcy Judge, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, located at One Bowling Green, New York, New York 10004-1408.  The Confirmation Hearing may be adjourned from time to time without further notice except for an announcement of the adjourned date made at the Confirmation Hearing or any adjournment thereof.
 
 
J.

K.
What is the effect of Confirmation on the TSC Debtors’ ongoing business?
 
The TSC Debtors are reorganizing under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.  As a result, unless otherwise set forth in the Plan, Confirmation means that the TSC Debtors will not be liquidated or forced to go out of business.  Following Confirmation, the Plan will be consummated on the Effective Date, which is a date selected by the TSC Debtors that is the first business day after which all conditions to consummation have been satisfied or waived.  See Article X of the Plan.  On or after the Effective Date, and unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each Reorganized TSC Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire or dispose of property and compromise or settle any Claims, Equity Interests or Causes of Action without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules.
 
In the event that the Plan is not consummated, the Plan would be null and void in all respects.  Accordingly, any settlement or compromise, distribution on account of any Claim or Equity Interest, assumption or rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases effected by the Plan and any document or agreement executed pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed null and void.
 
 
L.
Do the TSC Debtors recommend voting in favor of the Plan?
 
Yes.  It is the TSC Debtors’ opinion and belief that the Plan provides for a larger distribution to the TSC Debtors’ creditors and equity holders than would result from any other available alternative.  The TSC Debtors believe that the Plan is in the best interests of all holders of Claims and Equity Interests.  Any other alternative, including a liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, would realize lesser value than the value to be afforded under the Plan.  Thus, the TSC Debtors recommend that holders of Claims and Equity Interests who are entitled to vote on the Plan vote to accept it.
 
IV.
THE TSC DEBTORS’ HISTORY
 
 
A.
Company Overview
 
TSC is a Delaware corporation whose main assets10 are its equity interests in TS Holdings, its wholly owned subsidiary, which owns 1.4 Holdings (defined below), which has the rights to use 1.4 GHz terrestrial spectrum (“1.4 Spectrum”) pursuant to 64 FCC licenses (the “FCC Licenses”) held by 1.4 Holdings.  Although TSC, through its wholly owned subsidiary Motient Ventures Holding Inc. (“MV Holding”), has an indirect 89.3% ownership interest in TSN, which operates a separate and distinct mobile communications business, it is expected that this ownership interest will be divested through TSN’s chapter 11 proceedings.
 

10 The approximately $162 million in “assets due from affiliated companies” listed on the TSC Debtors’ monthly operating reports consists primarily of amounts due from TSN based on a GAAP adjustment relating to a write-down in value of the 1.4 Spectrum.  The remainder relates to intercompany debts from TSN, TerreStar Global Ltd., TerreStar National Services Inc. and TerreStar New York Inc. (“TerreStar NY”) in connection with operating expenses and cash transfers between TSC and the above-listed companies.  The approximately $322 million in “equity investments in affiliated companies” listed on the TSC Debtors’ monthly operating reports relates primarily to TSC’s indirect 89.3% equity investment in TSN and TSC’s investment in the equity stake at TerreStar Global Ltd.  For the avoidance of doubt, both of the above-described asset valuations are based on GAAP figures and not on the market value of the TSC Debtors’ assets.  Pursuant to the TSN Debtors’ disclosure statement, the TSN Debtors expect that holders of unsecured claims at TSN will recover approximately 6.14% on account of such claims and that holders of unsecured claims at TerreStar National Services Inc. will recover 0% of such claims [TSN Docket No. 851].  The TSN Debtors expect that holders of equity interests will recover 0% on account of such interests at each entity.

B.
The TSC Debtors’ Business Operations
 
The business enterprise of the subsidiaries of the TSC Debtors is dependent in large part on a number of key agreements and other arrangements.  Set forth below is a short summary of some of these significant pre-petition agreements, arrangements and relationships.
 
GENUS Handset, Chipset Development and Related Technology
 
On August 10, 2007, TSN entered into a Master Development & Licensing Agreement with Elektrobit under which Elektrobit would assist with the development of the GENUS handset.11  Pursuant to an amendment dated November 18, 2009, TSC was added as a party to the Master Development & Licensing Agreement and agreed to guarantee TSN’s obligations to Elektrobit under the Master Development & Licensing Agreement, despite TSC having no direct benefit under this agreement.12
 
On December 1, 2009, TSC and TSN entered into a Master Supply Agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) with Elektrobit, which sets the terms for the individual purchase orders for the GENUS.  Additionally, under the Supply Agreement, Elektrobit provides manufacturing services, forward and reverse logistics and after-market services support for certain satellite-terrestrial smartphones, starting with the GENUS smartphone.  The goods and services provided under the Supply Agreement are all for the benefit of TSN’s business, and none of the goods or services are or were utilized by TSC.  While there is no volume commitment from TSC and TSN in the Supply Agreement, pricing and other terms are adjusted based on volume.
 
On or about November 19, 2010, Elektrobit filed suit against TSC in the Supreme Court of the State of New York seeking payment of outstanding receivables in the amount of $25.8 million.  Elektrobit also filed a proof of claim in TSN’s chapter 11 case in the amount of approximately $25.8 million, which Elektrobit later amended to assert a claim in the amount of approximately $27.9 million.
 
As discussed in detail in section IV.E(ii) below, on March 23, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the TSC Debtors and the TSN Debtors to reject all agreements with Elektrobit.
 
Relationship with Harbinger/LightSquared (f/k/a SkyTerra)
 
The TSC Debtors and their non-TSC Debtor affiliates have a number of separate contractual relationships with Harbinger Capital Partners LLC (“Harbinger”) (one of the TSC Debtors’ most significant stakeholders) and certain of its affiliates, including LightSquared, Inc. (“LightSquared” (f/k/a SkyTerra Communications, Inc. (“SkyTerra”)).  Among other things, as described in detail below, a subsidiary of LightSquared and an affiliate of Harbinger leases rights to use 1.4 Holdings’ (as defined below) 1.4 Spectrum.
 
In September 2009, TerreStar 1.4 Holdings LLC (“1.4 Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company that is wholly owned by TS Holdings and that is neither a TSC Debtor nor a TSN Debtor, entered into a lease agreement (the “Spectrum Lease”)13 with One Dot Four Corp. (“One Dot Four”), a subsidiary of LightSquared and an affiliate of Harbinger, under which One Dot Four leases the rights to use the 1.4 Spectrum for which 1.4 Holdings holds the FCC Licenses.14  The Spectrum Lease has an initial term through April 2017, renewable at One Dot Four’s option for two additional terms of ten years each, in both instances subject to FCC renewal of the FCC Licenses.  Pursuant to the Spectrum Lease, One Dot Four pays 1.4 Holdings $2 million per month on the first day of each month.15
 

11 The “GENUS” is the world’s first smartphone with integrated all-IP satellite-terrestrial voice and data capabilities.
12 As discussed in section IV.E(ii) below, Elektrobit has asserted a claim against TSC based on TSC’s alleged liability as guarantor under the Master Development & Licensing Agreement.  The TSC Debtors and certain of the TSC Debtor’s preferred shareholders, Harbinger, Highland and Solus, have objected to such claim.
13 The lease agreement entered into in September 2009 was a spectrum manager lease agreement.  In July 2010, 1.4 Holdings and One Dot Four sought and received FCC consent to replace the spectrum manager lease agreement with a long-term de facto transfer lease agreement, which was amended on October 13, 2010.
14 Certain parties have asserted that the Spectrum Lease may be under market.  At the time the Spectrum Lease was entered into, the terms of the Spectrum Lease were carefully evaluated by the board of directors of 1.4 Holdings, including two members of the board who were appointed by EchoStar Corporation, one of Harbinger’s largest competitors in this area.  The board was advised with respect to the Spectrum Lease by outside professionals as well as management.  In addition, the terms of the Spectrum Lease were publicly disclosed in SEC filings, which were readily available to all parties in interest, including the objecting parties.  Despite the fact that the terms of the Spectrum Lease were publicly available, no parties objected to 1.4 Holdings’ entry into the Spectrum Lease.
15 Pursuant to a pre-petition agreement, One Dot Four prepaid the Spectrum Lease through June 2011.  Beginning in July 2011, One Dot Four resumed making payments under the Spectrum Lease.  Pursuant to the terms of the DIP Loan Agreement, funds received under the Spectrum Lease and upstreamed to TSC are to be used to repay the DIP Loan Agreement on a quarterly basis.  The final payment in full satisfaction of the DIP Facility was made on January 3, 2012.
 
 
19

 
 
To maintain their interest in the 1.4 Spectrum, 1.4 Spectrum’s licensees must make a showing of “substantial service” in their license area within the initial license term (10 years).  Substantial service is defined as service that is sound, favorable and substantially above a level of mediocre service that might minimally warrant renewal.  Any licensee that fails to meet this requirement will forfeit its license and the licensee will be ineligible to regain it.  1.4 Holdings has the right to terminate the Spectrum Lease at any time between April 23, 2015 through April 23, 2017 upon 90 days’ notice and opportunity for cure if (1) One Dot Four fails to materially develop facilities to offer services under the 1.4 Spectrum and (2) 1.4 Holdings reasonably determines, after consultation with One Dot Four, that the substantial service renewal standard for the 1.4 Spectrum will not be satisfied by April 23, 2017.
 
Upon the occurrence of certain events or under certain conditions, One Dot Four has an option, but not the obligation, to purchase the FCC Licenses for a specified purchase price (the “Option Purchase Price”).  One Dot Four also has a right of first refusal to either match an offered price (less credit for certain amounts paid under the Spectrum Lease) or pay the Option Purchase Price (which includes a partial credit for certain amounts paid under the Spectrum Lease) with respect to third-party offers to purchase certain ownership interests in 1.4 Holdings or TS Holdings, or to purchase or otherwise transfer the rights to use the 1.4 Spectrum.  As a result of, among other things, the Spectrum Lease, and as set forth in additional detail in Exhibit F, the TSC Debtors believe the 1.4 Spectrum has a value of between $175 and $185 million.
 
Certain parties have objected to the TSC Debtors’ valuation of the 1.4 Spectrum, based in part on the auctions of 2.0 GHz spectrum in the TSN and DBSD bankruptcy cases.  As a preliminary matter, the 1.4 Spectrum is currently encumbered by the Spectrum Lease and, accordingly, regardless of the value realized for other spectrum auctions and regardless of other value-impacting matters, the value of the 1.4 Spectrum is necessarily limited by the income stream under the Spectrum Lease.
 
Mohawk Capital LLC (“Mohawk”) asserts that the TSC Debtors should have, among other things, further explored a bankruptcy filing for 1.4 Holdings and the rejection of the Spectrum Lease.  Even assuming the rejection of the Spectrum Lease would give rise to a significant rejection damage claim, Mohawk asserts that there is no evidence that there would not be an interested bidder that would be willing to pay more than the “Plan valuation” of $175 million to $185 million plus the value of any rejection damage claim that would provide the Preferred Shareholders with an immediate cash recovery that is greater than the recovery that is currently provided for in the Plan.  Additionally, Mohawk asserts that an accommodation could be reached with Harbinger/LightSquared, if they were interested in the 1.4 Spectrum License, to allow them to use an agreed upon rejection damage claim number for purposes of currency to be used in any potential bid that they may make for rights to use the 1.4 Spectrum license.  The TSC Debtors disagree with these assertions.
 
  Even if the 1.4 Spectrum was not encumbered by the Spectrum Lease, results from other auctions of 2.0 GHz spectra are inapplicable in this case because the 1.4 Spectrum is an entirely different asset than the TSN Debtors’ 2.0 GHz spectrum.  Despite the flexible use designation, certain characteristics of the 1.4 GHz bands render the 1.4 Spectrum unique and difficult to compare to other spectrum bands.
 
Technical Parameters.  Power transmission is restricted on adjacent spectrum bands.  These power restrictions limit transmission strength, which, based on current technology, can result in less effective in-building penetration and significantly reduce eligible applications for the 1.4 Spectrum bands.  Furthermore, spectrum that is subject to power limitations may require more base stations and network infrastructure than for an unrestricted spectrum, resulting in higher capital and operating expenses.
 
 
20

 
 
Unfavorable Spectrum Configuration.  Although the 1.4 Spectrum bands comprise 8 MHz of spectrum capacity, narrow configuration limits are currently only used for lower bandwidth-consuming applications, including smart grid/smart utility, radio, supervisory control and data acquisition and point-to-point link applications.
 
Equipment Ecosystem.  The 1.4 Spectrum bands currently suffer from an underdeveloped equipment ecosystem.  Although the 1.4 GHz spectrum equipment ecosystem is beginning to develop, the limited use of the spectrum and applicable devices yield cost and potentially time-to-market disadvantages.  Further, pursuing a voice or smart phone strategy would be challenging (notwithstanding the power limitations previously discussed) as original equipment manufacturers typically are unwilling to develop chipsets and other equipment comparable with other bands unless they identify a significant market for potential customers.
 
In addition to the agreement with One Dot Four, before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, TSC and TSN entered into an exclusivity agreement (which was subsequently extended) with certain affiliates of Harbinger regarding the ability to exclusively negotiate a pooling arrangement of the parties’ various spectrum and satellite capacity.  Specifically, in January 2010, TSC and TSN entered into the original exclusivity agreement (the “Original Exclusivity Agreement”), pursuant to which they agreed that for a period of 90 days, they would negotiate in good faith an agreement with Harbinger and its affiliates under which the S-Band spectrum licensed to TerreStar License Inc. would be combined with other services (such as satellite usage rights) to provide mobile communications services (a “Pooling Arrangement”).  As consideration for entering into the Original Exclusivity Agreement, Harbinger, on behalf of its affiliate, One Dot Four, agreed to prepay $30 million of the amounts due under the Spectrum Lease.  Upon receipt of the funds from Harbinger, 1.4 Holdings paid a dividend to its 100% shareholder TS Holdings in the amount of the funds received.  TS Holdings then made an intercompany loan to MV Holding in the amount of approximately $32 million.  MV Holding then made a capital contribution to TSN, its 89.3% owned subsidiary, of approximately $32 million.
 
Mohawk, a holder of TSC Series B Preferred Shares and common stock of TSC, asserts that TS Holdings, MV Holding and their ultimate parent, TSC, were insolvent at the time of the $32 million transfer to TSN.  Moreover, Mohawk believes that MV Holding had negative equity in TSN before and after the $32 million transfer, and therefore the $32 million transfer did not inure to the benefit of MV Holding as an equity holder of TSN.
 
Mohawk asserts that its allegation that TSN’s severe undercapitalization at the time of the $32 million transfer is supported by the TSN Debtors’ official committee of unsecured creditors Recharacterization Motion that was filed on June 17, 2011. In the Recharacterization Motion, the committee asserts that TSC’s intercompany loan should be recharacterized as an equity contribution because in 2009, at the time that the loan was made, TSN was allegedly severely undercapitalized and had an alleged negative book equity.16  Mohawk believes that if the committee’s assertion is correct that TSN was severely undercapitalized in 2009, then TSC could not have received reasonably equivalent value for its $32 million capital contribution to TSN by way of the $32 million loan from TS Holdings to MV Holding.  Mohawk believes that because TS Holdings and MV Holding, and by extension TSC, were insolvent at the time of the $32 million transfer and did not receive reasonably equivalent value on account of the $32 million transfer, the $32 million transfer to TSN should be avoided as a fraudulent conveyance under Bankruptcy Code section 548.
 

16 Pursuant to the Sprint TSN Stipulation, TSN and the committee have consensually resolved the Recharacterization Motion [TSN Docket No. 830, 851].  As part of the settlement, the Intercompany Funding Claim will be allowed against TSN in the amount of $56,875,342 and the Recharacterization Motion will be withdrawn.
 
 
21

 
 
The TSC Debtors disagree with each of Mohawk’s assertions and believe that pursuit of a fraudulent transfer action under the circumstances of these cases would not benefit the TSC Debtors’ estates.  By their nature, fraudulent transfer actions are difficult to prove, particularly because at the time of the transfer in question, TSN had substantial funds in its bank accounts, and in order to prove a fraudulent transfer, it would be necessary to show insolvency at the time of the transfer.  Accordingly, any attempt by the TSC Debtors to pursue a fraudulent transfer claim against TSN in connection with the $32 million transfer would require significant discovery costs and would necessarily cause extensive delays in the TSC Debtors’ plan process, and thus delay recoveries to all creditors and stakeholders.  Further, even if the TSC Debtors were successful in pursuing a fraudulent transfer claim against TSN, it is unclear whether the amount ultimately received by the TSC Debtors on account of such claim would outweigh the costs expended in pursuing such claim because the holders of unsecured claims against TSN are projected to receive only a minimal recovery.  On January 9, 2012, Mohawk filed a motion seeking standing to assert this claim in the TSC Debtors’ cases [Docket No. 328].  Mohawk’s motion is currently scheduled to be heard on January 25, 2012.
 
 
C.
The TSC Debtors’ Organizational Structure
 
Attached as Exhibit C to this Disclosure Statement is an organizational chart summarizing the corporate structure of the TSC Debtors and their affiliates, as of the February Petition Date.  As demonstrated by the organizational chart, TSC is a Delaware corporation and is the ultimate parent company of each of the other TSC Debtors.  As of the date hereof, TSC has four wholly owned direct subsidiaries, all of which are TSC Debtors:  (a) TerreStar NY, (b) Motient Holdings Inc. (“Motient”), (c) MVH Holdings Inc. (“MVH”) and (d) TS Holdings.
 
 
·
TS Holdings is a Delaware corporation that directly holds 100% of the interests in 1.4 Holdings.  TS Holdings is a TSC Debtor in these proceedings.
 
 
·
1.4 Holdings is a Delaware limited liability company.  1.4 Holdings is a special purpose entity that holds the FCC licenses for the 1.4 Spectrum.  There are a number of reasons the board of directors at 1.4 Holdings did not seek chapter 11 protection.  First, 1.4 Holdings is a solvent entity.  Second, 1.4 Holdings has only one significant creditor—One Dot Four, the counterparty to the Spectrum Lease—to which 1.4 Holdings owes fiduciary duties.  If 1.4 Holdings had filed for chapter 11 relief and rejected the Spectrum Lease, then One Dot Four may have held a significant damages claim against 1.4 Holdings that could likely have resulted in no value remaining for distribution to the equity holders of 1.4 Holdings.  Finally, if 1.4 Holdings were to file for chapter 11 relief, it may trigger One Dot Four’s right to purchase the 1.4 Spectrum pursuant to the Spectrum Lease.  Accordingly, 1.4 Holdings is not a TSC Debtor in these proceedings.
 
 
·
TerreStar NY is a New York corporation that has no subsidiaries.  TerreStar NY is a TSC Debtor in these proceedings.
 
 
·
Motient is a TSC Debtor in these proceedings and holds 100% of the interests in both Motient Services Inc. and Motient Communications Inc., each a Delaware corporation, and each a TSC Debtor in these proceedings.  Motient Communications Inc., in turn, holds 100% of the interests in Motient License Inc., another Delaware corporation, and a TSC Debtor in these proceedings.  These entities have minimal operations, minimal assets and various liabilities they will seek (or have sought already) to reject in the Chapter 11 Cases.
 
 
·
MVH directly holds 100% of the interests in MV Holding, a Delaware corporation.  MV Holding is a TSC Debtor in these proceedings.

D.
The TSC Debtors’ Pre-petition Capital Structure
 
 
(i)
Intercompany Loan
 
Over the course of four months in 200917, TSC provided TSN with funding to finance insurance premiums related to one of TSN’s capital assets, which was comprised of five promissory notes due 201418 each in the face amount of $10 million and each bearing a fixed rate of interest at 15% per year (the “Intercompany Loan”).  On December 10, 2010, TSC filed a proof of claim against TSN asserting the Intercompany Funding Claim in the face amount of $50 million (plus interest).
 
 
(ii)
Pre-petition Indebtedness–Bridge Loan Agreement
 
On November 19, 2010, TSC, as borrower, and TS Holdings, as guarantor, the lenders party thereto, which included Solus Alternative Asset Management LP (“Solus”), Harbinger, Highland Capital Management, L.P. (“Highland”) and/or affiliates thereof, and NexBank, SSB, as agent, entered into that certain Term Loan Credit Agreement in a principal aggregate amount of $2.65 million (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Bridge Loan Agreement”).  The Bridge Loan Agreement contained certain restructuring milestones.  As of the February Petition Date, approximately $4.3 million19 of principal and accrued interest was outstanding under the Bridge Loan Agreement (the “Bridge Loan”).  The funds were advanced pursuant to a Bridge Loan Agreement rather than as part of a post-petition debtor-in-possession financing facility because at the time, the TSC Debtors had not yet filed for chapter 11 relief and the additional funds were necessary to allow the TSC Debtors to meet expenses, particularly those associated with negotiating a consensual restructuring with their key stakeholders, including professional fees in connection with such out-of-court restructuring negotiations.  Accordingly, the funds advanced under the Bridge Loan Agreement ensured that these professionals were paid in full as of the February Debtors’ petition date, avoiding the need for the TSC Debtors to locate and hire new professionals—at significant cost and delay to familiarize any new professionals with the current state of negotiations—if their existing professionals no longer were disinterested.
 
The TSC Debtors understand that Elektrobit believes that in structuring the timing of the repayment of the Bridge Loan, the holders of TSC Preferred Series A and B Shares may have been seeking to engineer an impaired, consenting class of claims.  The TSC Debtors disagree with this position.  The TSC Debtors disagree and note that, when the Bridge Loan was entered into (in November 2010), the Bridge Loan’s proposed treatment under a plan had not yet been fixed.
 
 
(iii)
Stockholders’ Equity
 
 
a.
TSC Common Stock
 
As of January 27, 2011, TSC had authorized 240 million shares of common stock.  As of January 27, 2011, TSC had 139,397,740 shares of common stock outstanding.  For each share of common stock held, common stockholders are entitled to one vote on matters submitted to the stockholders.  The TSC common stock was listed on The NASDAQ Global Market. On June 3, 2010, TSC received notification from The NASDAQ Stock Market’s Listing Qualifications Department that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of TSC’s common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued inclusion in The NASDAQ Global Market.  On November 5, 2010, the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC delisted TSC’s common stock.  TSC’s common stock is currently quoted on the Pink OTC Markets Inc. under the symbol “TSTRQ.”
 

17 TSN issued the notes to TSC on June 8, 2009, July 6, 2009, August 4, 2009, August 26, 2009 and September 21, 2009.
18 The notes’ maturity dates are June 8, 2014, July 6, 2014, August 4, 2014, August 26, 2014 and September 21, 2014, respectively.
19 Prior to the February Petition Date, the Bridge Loan Agreement was amended to provide the TSC Debtors with additional liquidity for the purpose of paying additional operating expenses.

b.
TSC Preferred Stock
 
TSC Series A and B Preferred Shares:  As of the February Petition Date, TSC had $90 million in face amount of non-voting Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “TSC Series A Preferred Shares”) outstanding and had $318.5 million in face amount of non-voting Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “TSC Series B Preferred Shares”) outstanding.  The TSC Series A and B Preferred Shares have rights, preferences and privileges substantially identical to one another.  One hundred percent of the TSC Series A Preferred Shares is owned by Highland, and the majority of the TSC Series B Preferred Shares are owned by Solus and affiliates of Harbinger.  The TSC Series A and B Preferred Shares had a mandatory redemption date of April 15, 2010, at a redemption price of $1,080 per share, or approximately $450,578,385 (as of December 31, 2010).  As of the February Petition Date, the TSC Debtors had not redeemed the TSC Series A and B Preferred Shares.
 
TSC Series C and D Preferred Shares:  TSC has one outstanding share of non-voting Series C preferred stock (the “TSC Series C Preferred Share”), which was issued to EchoStar Corporation (“EchoStar”), and one outstanding share of non-voting Series D preferred stock (the “TSC Series D Preferred Share”), which was issued to an investment fund managed by Harbinger.  The TSC Series C and D Preferred Shares have no voting rights and are not convertible into any other class of capital stock of TSC.  The TSC Series C and D Preferred Shares rank on parity with one another and rank junior to the TSC Series A and B Preferred Shares.
 
TSC Series E Preferred Shares:  TSC has 1.2 million shares of TSC Series E Junior Participating Preferred Stock (“TSC Series E Preferred Shares” and, together with the TSC Series A, B, C and D Preferred Shares, the “TSC Preferred Shares”) outstanding.  The TSC Series E Preferred Shares are held by investment funds managed by Harbinger and are convertible into 30 million shares of TSC common stock.  The TSC Series E Preferred Shares have no voting rights.  The TSC Series E Preferred Shares are junior in priority to all other series of TSC Preferred Shares.

Pre-petition Litigation
 
 
(i)
Sprint Litigation
 
On June 25, 2008, Sprint filed a lawsuit (the “Sprint Litigation”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia naming TSN, but not any of the TSC Debtors, as a defendant.  New ICO Satellite Services, G.P. (“ICO”) was also named as a defendant (together with TSN, the “Defendants”).  Sprint sought, among other things, enforcement of certain FCC orders and reimbursement of not less than $100 million from each Defendant.  Sprint argued that the Defendants owed Sprint reimbursement for certain spectrum relocation costs Sprint incurred or will incur in connection with relocating incumbent licensees from certain frequencies in the 2 GHz spectrum band.  Specifically, in the United States, Sprint is obligated to relocate existing broadcast auxiliary service incumbents and other terrestrial incumbents (collectively, “BAS Incumbents”) in the TSN Debtors’ uplink spectrum.  Sprint completed such band clearing in July 2010 and currently is seeking reimbursement pursuant to applicable FCC rules from the Defendants for a portion of the expenses incurred by Sprint to accomplish such band clearing, which is now the subject of the Sprint Litigation.
 
On TSN’s motion, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia stayed Sprint’s suit on the ground that primary jurisdiction of the dispute resides in the FCC.  The case was stayed while questions posed by the case were referred to the FCC as a matter of primary jurisdiction, and it remains pending.  In September 2010, the FCC issued an order and declaratory ruling (the “September 2010 Order and Declaratory Ruling”) concerning certain regulatory issues related to the obligations of the Defendants and their affiliates to Sprint for the expenses of relocating the BAS Incumbents.  In October 2010, ICO and certain of its affiliates appealed the FCC’s September 2010 Order and Declaratory Ruling, and this appeal remains pending. The Sprint Litigation remains stayed by the automatic stay upon the commencement of the TSN Debtors’ chapter 11 cases.
 
 
24

 
 
While none of the TSC Debtors are named as Defendants in the Sprint Litigation, Sprint nonetheless filed proofs of claim against each of the TSC Debtors, including the Other TSC Debtors, for more than $100 million, each on account of the pending Sprint Litigation.  On December 28, 2010, the October Debtors filed the Debtors’ Omnibus Objection to Proofs of Claim Filed by Sprint Nextel Corporation (the “Sprint Omnibus Objection”), objecting to Sprint’s claims in the TSN Debtors’ cases.  Subsequently, the TSN Debtors, Sprint and the October Creditors’ Committee (as defined below) agreed to a scheduling order regarding summary judgment briefing in connection with the Sprint Omnibus Objection.  Accordingly, on June 17, 2011, certain of the TSN Debtors filed a motion for summary judgment (the “Summary Judgment Motion”) asserting that such entities were not liable to Sprint because, among other reasons, they were not licensees, which the October Creditors’ Committee joined.  Sprint filed its opposition brief to the summary judgment motion and a separate cross motion for summary judgment on July 1, 2011, and the TSN Debtors filed their reply and opposition brief on July 8, 2011.  The October Creditors’ Committee also filed a reply brief on July 8, 2011.  A hearing on these summary judgment motions was held on July 26, 2011.  The parties have not yet received a decision on these motions.
 
As discussed in detail in section VII.B(iii) below, the TSC Debtors have entered into the Sprint TSC Stipulation settling the Sprint Litigation and related proofs of claim asserted by Sprint against the TSC Debtors.

Elektrobit Litigation
 
On November 19, 2010, Elektrobit brought various causes of action against TSC in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, County of New York.  Elektrobit’s complaint seeks payment of approximately $25.8 million under the Master Development & License Agreement and the Supply Agreement.  On January 14, 2011, TSC answered the complaint.  The litigation has been stayed by the filing of these Chapter 11 Cases.  Elektrobit has filed a proof of claim in TSN’s Chapter 11 Case in the amount of $25.8 million.
 
Although TSC was an original party to the Supply Agreement and was later added as a party and guarantor to the Master Development & License Agreement pursuant to an amendment, TSC did not utilize the GENUS handset in its business, nor did it use any of the other goods or services provided under those agreements.  As previously noted, on March 23, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the TSC Debtors and the TSN Debtors to reject all contracts with Elektrobit.  Elektrobit filed an unliquidated claim against TSC in the amount of at least $27,869,769.82 on April 21, 2011 (Claim No. 58).
 
As discussed in detail in section VII.B(iv) below, the TSC Debtors’ and the Preferred Shareholders have objected to Elektrobit’s claim.
 
 
(iii)
Van Vlissingen and Company Demand Letter
 
Motient Communications Inc. was party to a lease of certain non-residential real property with Van Vlissingen and Company.  Pursuant to an amendment to the lease, TSC guaranteed Motient Communication Inc.’s obligations under the lease.  Motient Communications Inc. and TSC received a demand letter from Van Vlissingen and Company alleging that approximately $444,210.00 was outstanding under the lease.  On November 23, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court authorized Motient Communications Inc.’s rejection of the lease retroactive to the October Petition Date [Case No. 10-15446, Docket No. 196].  Subsequently, Van Vlissingen and Company filed proofs of claim against both TSC and Motient Communications Inc., each in the amount of $1,602,336.48 and each alleging that $147,988.69 of each claim is entitled to administrative priority (Claim Nos. 17 and 27).
 
 
(iv)
Highland Litigation
 
Since August 2005, TSC has been engaged in litigation adverse to Highland, as well as certain investment funds managed by Highland and James Dondero, who is the principal owner of Highland and one of TSC’s former directors.  Seven suits were filed by Highland and its affiliates against TSC or related parties.  Of those seven suits, four have been resolved in TSC’s favor.  Of the remaining three lawsuits, the first, brought in Texas state district court in Dallas County, challenged the validity of the TSC Series A Preferred Shares and sought damages and the rescission of the purchase of $90 million in shares.  The second, brought in the Commercial Division of the New York Supreme Court, alleged that certain transactions conducted by TSC entitled Highland to redeem its TSC Series A Preferred Shares.  The third suit was brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, with Highland alleging that a change of control occurred, requiring TSC to redeem Highland’s TSC Series A Preferred Shares.
 
 
25

 
 
In addition, TSC filed two suits against Dondero, one of which was dismissed on Dondero’s motion.  The non-dismissed suit was brought in Texas state court in Dallas County, alleging that Dondero breached fiduciary duties as a director to advance his own personal interests.
 
As part of the Bridge Loan, TSC entered into an agreement with Highland, certain of its affiliates and Dondero, agreeing to dismiss all pending litigation between the parties, without prejudice.  In addition, the parties agreed that in the event that any of the suits are re-filed, the running of the statutes of limitations, laches and other time limitations are tolled during the term of the agreement.
 
V.
EVENTS LEADING TO COMMENCEMENT OF THE CHAPTER 11 CASES
 
The following is a general description of factors that ultimately led to the commencement of the TSC Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases.
 
TSN, TSC’s principal operating subsidiary, has developed an innovative wireless communications system to provide mobile coverage throughout the United States and Canada using integrated satellite-terrestrial smartphones.  Build-out of this system required an enormous amount of capital expenditures with very little in the way of revenue.  Although TSN completed the development process shortly before the October Petition Date and had begun marketing its network, its available cash and borrowing capacity were insufficient to cover its funding needs.  As a result, on the October Petition Date, the TSN Debtors were forced to seek protection under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Through the TSN Debtors’ chapter 11 cases, it is expected that TSC’s ownership interest in the TSN Debtors will be divested.
 
Prior to the TSN Debtors’ chapter 11 filings, the TSN Debtors, TSC, TS Holdings and EchoStar entered into an agreement whereby the parties committed to support a plan of reorganization for the TSN Debtors.20  On July 7, 2011, the TSN Debtors received Bankruptcy Court approval to sell substantially all of their assets to Gamma Acquisition L.L.C., an affiliate of DISH Network Corporation.  After the October Petition Date, certain holders of the TSC Series B Preferred Shares, including Solus and Millennium International Management LP (“Millennium”), filed a motion seeking to have the Other TSC Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases dismissed.  The motion was resolved by a stipulation executed by and between Solus, Millennium, Harbinger, Highland, EchoStar, the TSN Debtors and the Other TSC Debtors.  The stipulation provides that none of the Other TSC Debtors will be party to the TSN Debtors’ plan of reorganization unless a majority of the holders of the TSC Series A Preferred Shares and TSC Series B Preferred Shares consent or the Other TSC Debtors determine in good faith that their fiduciary duties require such action.  The stipulation also provides that the Other TSC Debtors will not be liable for any debtor-in-possession financing extended to the TSN Debtors.  The stipulation further provides that TSC holds an allowed, undisputed and non-contingent claim in TSN’s Chapter 11 Case relating to the Intercompany Loan.  On June 17, 2011, the official committee of unsecured creditors in the TSN Debtors’ cases filed a motion to recharacterize this claim as an equity contribution (the “Recharacterization Motion”).21  Pursuant to an agreed scheduling order [Case No. 10-15446, Docket No. 684], the TSC Debtors’ opposition to the Recharacterization Motion was filed on August 26, 2011.  As discussed more fully in section VII.B(iii) below, the Recharacterization Motion was settled pursuant to the terms of the Sprint TSN Stipulation.
 
Since TSN has generated little to no revenues, the TSC Debtors’ only pre-petition source of income was the lease payments from the Spectrum Lease.  This small revenue stream was insufficient to allow the TSC Debtors to maintain their business.  Thus, on the October Petition Date, the Other TSC Debtors sought chapter 11 protection.
 

20 In mid-February 2011, the TSN Debtors withdrew this plan of reorganization.
21 Based on, among other things, the documentation regarding this claim, the TSC Debtors do not believe that the Recharacterization Motion has merit.
 
 
26

 
 
Up until a few days before the October Petition Date, it was contemplated that TSC and TS Holdings would also file for chapter 11 protection along with the Other TSC Debtors.  However, in October 2010, the TSN Debtors’ plan sponsor, EchoStar Corporation (“EchoStar”), did not support the reorganization of TSC and TS Holdings.  In light of that fact and the separateness of the businesses and in an attempt to preserve value for all creditors and interest holders, TSC and TS Holdings refrained from filing for chapter 11 while they worked with certain of the largest preferred shareholders of the TSC Series A Preferred Shares and TSC Series B Preferred Shares (including Highland, Solus and affiliates of Harbinger) on the terms of a consensual restructuring (100% of the TSC Series A Preferred Shares are owned by Highland, and approximately 55% of the TSC Series B Preferred Shares are owned by Solus and affiliates of Harbinger).
 
Certain parties have questioned why the February Debtors determined to delay filing their chapter 11 petitions.  As discussed above, although the February Debtors “could have” filed for chapter 11 relief in October 2010, in an exercise of their business judgment, they determined that it was prudent to wait to file for such relief until February 2011 and to use that time to negotiate a consensual restructuring with certain of their key stakeholders.  Indeed, the February Debtors believed that filing for bankruptcy protection after further discussions with their major stakeholders had occurred instead of filing a “free fall” chapter 11 petition was the best way to maximize value for all constituents.  However, Elektrobit observes that the solicitation version of the TSN Debtors’ disclosure statement [Doc. No. 874, Chapter 11 Case No. 10-15446(SHL) (the “TSN Disclosure Statement”)], filed on the same date as the First Amended Disclosure Statement and likewise signed for the debtors by TSN’s Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Epstein (Chief Executive Officer of TSC), states that the February Debtors delayed a chapter 11 filing specifically at the request of Preferred Stockholders Solus, Harbinger and Highland, and as an “accommodation” to them, until a consensual restructuring could be achieved.  See TSN Disclosure Statement at 38 n.51.
 
As part of the consensual negotiations, Harbinger, Solus and Highland agreed to provide TSC and TS Holdings with the $2.65 million Bridge Loan and Highland agreed to toll certain litigation it currently has outstanding against TSC (for a description of such litigation, please see TSC’s Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on May 6, 2010).
 
Accordingly, after the October Petition Date, TSC and TS Holdings negotiated a proposed plan structure with Harbinger, Solus and Highland.  TSC and TS Holdings ultimately filed for chapter 11 relief on the Petition Date, and the proposed plan of reorganization for the TSC Debtors was filed on July 22, 2011.
 
VI.
INITIAL MOTIONS OF THE CHAPTER 11 CASES AND CERTAIN RELATED RELIEF
 
On the October Petition Date, the Other TSC Debtors filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.  On the February Petition Date, each of the February Debtors filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.  The TSC Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered for procedural purposes only under the caption In re TerreStar Corporation, et al., Case No. 11-10612 (SHL), before the Honorable Sean H. Lane.  The TSC Debtors continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.
 
 
A.
“First-Day” Motions and Related Relief
 
To ensure a smooth transition to operations in chapter 11, the TSC Debtors filed a number of motions with the Bankruptcy Court seeking relief designed to, among other things, prevent interruptions to the TSC Debtors’ business, ease the strain on the TSC Debtors’ relationship with certain essential constituents and provide access to immediate financing.  At a hearing held on February 23, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered several orders granting various of the TSC Debtors’ initial requests for relief, as discussed below.
 
 
(i)
Procedural Orders
 
To facilitate a smooth and efficient administration of the TSC Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases and minimize the impact on daily business operations, the Bankruptcy Court entered certain “procedural” orders, approving, among other things, the joint administration of the February Debtors with the Other TSC Debtors [Docket No 11].  In connection therewith, the Bankruptcy Court in the TSN Debtors’ chapter 11 cases entered an order modifying the joint administration order in that case so that the Other TSC Debtors would no longer be jointly administered with the TSN Debtors’ chapter 11 cases.  In addition, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders applying certain orders that were entered in the TSN Debtors’ chapter 11 cases to the February Debtors [Docket Nos. 13, 41].22
 

22 The orders entered in the TSN Debtors’ chapter 11 cases that the Bankruptcy Court made applicable to the February Debtors’ cases included orders regarding the cash management systems, interim compensation procedures, matrix, case management, insurance coverage and payment of taxes.  The Bankruptcy Court also applied orders regarding the retention of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, The Garden City Group, Inc. and various law firms and professionals to the February Debtors.
 
 
27

 
 
 
(ii)
Retention of Professionals
 
On March 4, 2011, the February Debtors filed an application seeking Bankruptcy Court approval to retain Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P. (“Blackstone”), as financial advisor and investment banker [Docket No. 35], to assist the TSC Debtors in carrying out their duties as debtors in possession.  On March 23, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving Blackstone’s retention on an interim basis, and on April 27, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final order approving Blackstone’s retention [Docket Nos. 56, 82].  As explained above, the Bankruptcy Court also applied the retention orders in the TSN Debtors’ chapter 11 cases for Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, The Garden City Group, Inc. and certain ordinary course professionals to the February Debtors’ cases [Docket Nos. 13, 41].
 
 
B.
Debtor-in-Possession Financing
 
In addition to the initial procedural and operational relief, the February Debtors and MV Holding filed a motion on the February Petition Date seeking authority to ensure adequate access to liquidity during their Chapter 11 Cases.23  Specifically, the February Debtors and MV Holding sought approval of ongoing access to cash collateral, as well as approval of an aggregate $13,368,421.05 secured debtor-in-possession financing facility (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “DIP Facility”), with the February Debtors as borrowers and MV Holding as guarantor.  The DIP Facility is secured by a first lien on all of the February Debtors’ assets, subject to certain existing liens.
 
The DIP Facility carries a 12.5% interest rate.  The DIP Facility contains negative and affirmative covenants standard for debtor-in-possession financing facilities, as well as various operational performance covenants.  The February Debtors do not believe they will be unable to comply with these covenants.  Further, the DIP Facility contains various events of default, including, without limitation, the failure of the Bankruptcy Court to enter an order confirming a plan of reorganization for the February Debtors on or prior to November 30, 2011.
 
Pursuant to a pre-petition agreement, One Dot Four prepaid the Spectrum Lease through June 2011.  Beginning in July 2011, One Dot Four resumed making payments under the Spectrum Lease.  Pursuant to the terms of the DIP Loan Agreement, funds received under the Spectrum Lease and upstreamed to TSC are to be used to repay the DIP Loan Agreement on a quarterly basis.
 
On March 9, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the TSC Debtors’ entry into the DIP Facility on a final basis [Docket No. 43].
 

23 Pre-petition, despite the best efforts of all parties, the TSC Debtors and their preferred shareholders were initially unable to reach agreement regarding post-petition financing.  Because the TSC Debtors were unable to negotiate a post-petition funding agreement, the TSC Debtors turned to Colbeck to procure debtor-in-possession financing.  After the TSC Debtors negotiated and executed a commitment letter with Colbeck, Solus offered to provide the February Debtors with debtor-in-possession financing that the February Debtors and their professionals believed was materially better for the February Debtors.  Accordingly, on February 2, 2011, the February Debtors executed a debtor-in-possession financing commitment letter with Solus.
 
 
28

 
 
On January 3, 2012, TSC made the final payment in full satisfaction of the DIP Facility.
 
VII.
DEVELOPMENTS DURING THE CHAPTER 11 CASES
 
 
A.
Appointment of the Statutory Committee
 
Bankruptcy Code section 1102 requires that, absent an order of the Bankruptcy Court to the contrary, the U.S. Trustee must appoint a committee of unsecured creditors as soon as practicable.

On October 29, 2010, the U.S. Trustee appointed the Creditors’ Committee for the October Debtors (the “October Creditors’ Committee”), including the Other TSC Debtors.  The October Creditors’ Committee comprises the following members:

 
·
Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, Indenture Trustee;
 
 
·
Hughes Network Systems, Inc.;
 
 
·
Nokia Siemens Networks US LLC;
 
 
·
Qualcomm Incorporated;
 
 
·
Shaffer Wilson Sarver & Gray, P.C.;
 
 
·
Space Systems/Loral. Inc.; and
 
 
·
Van Vlissingen and Company.
 
The October Creditors’ Committee subsequently retained Otterbourg, Steindler, Houston & Rosen LLP as legal counsel and FTI Consulting as financial advisor.  The TSC Debtors believe that only one member of the October Creditors’ Committee, Van Vlissingen and Company, is a creditor of one of the TSC Debtors.
 
On March 21, 2011, the U.S. Trustee informed the February Debtors that no committee would be formed for their Chapter 11 Cases.
 
 
B.
The Claims Process
 
 
(i)
Filing of the TSC Debtors’ Statements of Financial Affairs and Schedules of Assets and Liabilities
 
On November 8, 2010, the October Debtors, including the Other TSC Debtors, filed their schedules of assets and liabilities and statements of financial affairs, and on March 2, 2011, the February Debtors filed their schedules of assets and liabilities and statements of financial affairs (collectively, the “SOFAs and Schedules”) pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code section 521 and Bankruptcy Rule 1007.  The SOFAs and Schedules provide information concerning each of the TSC Debtors’ assets, liabilities (including accounts payable), executory contracts and other financial information as of the October Petition Date or February Petition Date, as applicable.  Copies of the TSC Debtors’ SOFAs and Schedules are available free of charge by accessing www.TerreStarCorpRestructuring.com.  The SOFAs and Schedules include, among other things, a list of the intercompany receivables owed to each of the TSC Debtors by other TSC Debtors and non-TSC Debtor affiliates.
 
 
29

 
 
 
(ii)
Establishment of the Claims Bar Date
 
On November 8, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order [Case No. 10-15446, Docket No. 92] (the “October Bar Date Order”) establishing December 10, 2010 (the “December Bar Date”) as the deadline by which each person or entity asserting a claim against any of the October Debtors, including the Other TSC Debtors, was required to file written proof of such claim.  On April 6, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order [Docket No. 64] (the “February Bar Date Order” and, together with the October Bar Date Order, the “Bar Date Orders”) establishing May 13, 2011 (the “May Bar Date” and, together with the December Bar Date, the “Bar Dates”) as the deadline by which each person or entity asserting a claim against any of the February Debtors and by which a TSN Debtor or non-debtor TSC affiliate asserting a claim against any of the Other TSC Debtors was required to file written proof of such claim.  In accordance with the Bar Date Orders, the TSC Debtors provided written notice of the Bar Dates to each of the parties and entities identified as creditors on the SOFAs and Schedules and to all known actual or potential creditors of the TSC Debtors according to the TSC Debtors’ books and records at the time of mailing of the notice.  Where possible, this notice was accompanied by a “personalized” proof of claim form approved by the Bankruptcy Court.  Additionally, in an effort to reach unknown creditors, the TSC Debtors also published notice of the Bar Dates in The Washington Post and USA Today.  The TSC Debtors are reviewing all proofs of claim that have been asserted against their estates and determining whether it is appropriate to object to the validity and/or amount of such claims.
 
 
(iii)
Settlement of Sprint Claims
 
As described in section IV.E(i) above, Sprint filed a proof of claim against each of the TSC Debtors for more than $100 million, each on account of the pending Sprint Litigation (the “Sprint Claims”).  In addition, as discussed in section V above, on June 17, 2011, the October Creditors’ Committee filed the Recharacterization Motion seeking to recharacterize the Intercompany Loan as an equity contribution to TSN on the grounds that, among other things, the Intercompany Loan was advanced at a time when TSN allegedly could not satisfy projected funding needs for 2010 and could not obtain financing on similar terms elsewhere, if at all.  On August 27, 2011, TSC filed in the TSN Chapter 11 Cases its opposition to the Recharacterization Motion, which opposition was thereafter joined by Harbinger, Highland and Solus.
 
As a result of extensive arms-length negotiations, on November 14, 2011, the TSC Debtors filed a motion to approve Sprint TSC Stipulation between, among other parties, the TSC Debtors and Sprint [Docket No. 270] (the “TSN Settlement Motion”).  To resolve the Sprint Litigation, and thereby relieve the TSC Debtors’ estates from needing to file an objection to the Sprint Claims, the TSC Debtors and Sprint agreed that in full and final satisfaction of the Sprint Claims, TSC’s right to receive distributions under a chapter 11 plan confirmed in the TSN Chapter 11 Cases (the “TSN Plan”) on account of the Intercompany Funding Claim, up to $2.6 million, shall be automatically assigned to Sprint, and the Sprint Claims shall be disallowed in their entirety and expunged from the TSC Debtors’ official claims register [Docket No. 299].
 
Concurrently on November 14, 2011, the TSN Debtors filed a motion to approve the Sprint TSN Stipulation between, among other parties, the TSN Debtors, October Creditors’ Committee and Sprint to resolve, among other things, the Sprint Litigation and Recharacterization Motion [TSN Docket No. 830].  Pursuant to the Sprint Stipulations, the Intercompany Funding Claim will be allowed as an unsecured claim in the amount of $56.9 million against TSN, and October Creditors’ Committee will withdraw the Recharacterization Motion pursuant to the terms of the Sprint TSN Stipulation [TSN Docket No. 857].  Pursuant to the Sprint TSN Stipulation, the TSN Debtors agreed to pay to Sprint, on account of the Intercompany Funding Claim (which was assigned to Sprint by TSC), cash in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) $2.6 million and (b) the TSN Debtors’ projected distribution on account of the Intercompany Funding Claim set forth in an updated recovery analysis (the “Sprint Distribution”), on the date that is the earlier of (a) two (2) business days after entry of the TSN  Settlement Motion and (b) December 23, 2011 (the “Payment Date”).
 
The Sprint TSC Stipulation further provides that, in the event that the Sprint Distribution is less than $2.6 million, then Sprint shall have an Allowed unsecured claim against TSC in an amount equal to the difference between $2.6 million and the Sprint Distribution.  The TSC Debtors expected that the Sprint Distribution received by Sprint on the Payment Date would equal $2.6 million.  Sprint agreed, however, that in the event the Sprint Distribution is less than $2.6 million (i) its sole recourse against TSC or any other party on account of the Sprint Settlement Claim shall be to receive the first dollars from any distribution made to which TSC is entitled on account of the Intercompany Funding Claim under the TSN Plan and (ii) Sprint will not seek to obtain a recovery from TSC (or any other party) on account of the Sprint Settlement Claim other than through distributions to which Sprint is otherwise entitled from the TSN Debtors pursuant to the stipulation.  Any distribution on account of the Intercompany Funding Claim in excess of $2.6 million shall be paid to TSC in accordance with the terms of the TSN Plan.  On the Payment Date, the TSN Debtors paid Sprint $2.6 million on account of the Intercompany Funding Claim.   Thus, the amount of the Sprint Settlement Claim is zero.

(iv)
Status of Elektrobit Claims
 
As described in section IV.E(ii) above, Elektrobit filed an unliquidated claim against TSC in the amount of at least $27,869,769.82 on April 21, 2011 (Claim No. 58).  On November 16, 2011, the TSC Debtors filed an objection to Elektrobit’s claim on the basis that the Master Development & License Agreement was modified on four occasions without the consent of TSC to include a different, and far more onerous, obligation than the one that TSC assumed when TSC executed the amendment as a guarantor [Docket No. 275].  The TSC Debtors assert that TSC was released from any guarantee obligations when the Master Development & License Agreement was significantly modified without TSC executing further guarantees.
 
Also on November 16, 2011, Harbinger, Highland and Solus in their capacity as preferred shareholders of TSC filed an objection to Elektrobit’s claim [Docket No. 276].  First, their objection argues that Elektrobit’s claim should be disallowed because TSC was released from any guarantee obligations when the Master Development & License Agreement was significantly modified without TSC executing further guarantees, or, alternatively, because TSC did not provide written consent to modification of the Master Development & License Agreement, TSC is not liable for amounts due and payable under modifications that increased the amount of its guarantee.  Second, their objection argues that Elektrobit’s claim against TSC should be reduced by the administrative claim asserted against TSN.  Finally, the objection argues that Elektrobit’s unliquidated claim should be partially disallowed because Elektrobit is not entitled to attorneys’ fees and costs or post-petition interest.
 
On December 12, 2011, Elektrobit filed an omnibus response to the TSC Debtors’ and the Preferred Shareholders’ claim objections [Docket No. 296].  Elektrobit also filed a motion to approve a case management order with respect to litigation of its claim [Docket No. 297].  Elektrobit disputes the arguments made by the TSC Debtors and the Preferred Shareholders and asserts that its claims should be allowed in full.  Elektrobit also reserves its right to further discovery with respect to the relevant factual background of its claim.
 
 
(v)
Status of Jefferies Claims
 
Prior to the Petition Date, on May 4, 2009, TSC and Jefferies & Company, Inc. (“Jefferies”) entered into an engagement letter, executed by TSC and Jefferies (the “Engagement Letter”), under which Jefferies would provide certain financial advisory services, as more fully described in the Engagement Letter.  TSC asserts that it terminated Jefferies’ engagement under the Engagement Letter in March 2010.  Jefferies asserts that it was not properly notified of such termination at any time, and was not aware of any termination until May 2010, at the earliest.  Regardless, Jefferies ultimately stopped providing services to TSC.
 
In connection with certain claims purportedly arising under the Engagement Letter and the termination thereof, Jefferies filed proofs of claim against each of the TSC Debtors, including the Other TSC Debtors (the original and amended proofs of claim filed against the TSC Debtors, collectively, the “Jefferies TSC Claims”), in each case asserting a general unsecured claim in a liquidated amount of $1,701,524.68 plus unliquidated amounts.24
 
On December 28, 2010, the October Debtors filed an omnibus objection to Jefferies’ claims in the TSN Debtors’ cases [Case No. 10-15446, Docket No. 327] (the “Jefferies Omnibus Objection”).  In addition, in connection with their analysis of the Jefferies TSC Claims, the TSC Debtors advised Jefferies that they intended to object to the Jefferies TSC Claims.  As a result of extensive arms-length negotiations, on January 4, 2012, the TSC Debtors filed a motion to approve a stipulation and agreed order by and between the TSC Debtors and Jefferies to resolve the Jefferies TSC Claims (the “Jefferies TSC Stipulation”) [Docket No. 319].  Concurrently on January 4, 2012, the TSN Debtors filed a motion to approve a stipulation and agreed order between the TSN Debtors and Jefferies to resolve the Jefferies TSN Claims (the “Jefferies TSN Stipulation” and, together with the Jefferies TSC Stipulation, the “Jefferies Stipulations”) [TSN Docket No. 884].
 

24 Jefferies originally filed proofs of claims against the Other TSC Debtors in a liquidated amount of $1,347,991.00 plus unliquidated amounts of approximately $12.5 million.  The proofs of claim were subsequently amended to assert a liquidated amount of $1,701,524.68 plus unliquidated amounts.  Jefferies also filed proofs of claim in the same amounts against each of the TSN Debtors (the original and amended proofs of claim, collectively the “Jefferies TSN Claims”).
 
 
31

 
 
To resolve any potential litigation over the Jefferies TSC Claims, and thereby relieve the TSC Debtors’ estates from needing to file an objection to the Jefferies TSC Claims, the TSC Debtors and Jefferies agreed that, in full and final satisfaction of the Jefferies TSC Claims, as of the effective date of the Jefferies TSC Stipulation, (i) each of the Jefferies TSC Claims will be disallowed in their entirety and expunged from the TSC Debtors’ official claims register, and (ii) pursuant to the terms of the Jefferies TSC Stipulation, Jefferies will be deemed to have an allowed general unsecured claim against TSC (and only TSC) in the amount of $1.7 million (the “Stipulated TSC Claim”).  Under the Jefferies TSN Stipulation, in full and final satisfaction of the Jefferies TSN Claims, (i) each of the Jefferies TSN Claims will be disallowed in their entirety and expunged from the TSN Debtors’ official claims register and (ii) Jefferies will be deemed to have an allowed general unsecured claim against TSN (and only TSN) in the amount of $1.7 million (the “Stipulated TSN Claim” and, together with the Stipulated TSC Claims, the “Stipulated Jefferies Claims”).   Notwithstanding the amounts of the Stipulated Jefferies Claims, Jefferies will be entitled to recover, in the aggregate, an amount equal to $1 million on account of the Stipulated Jefferies Claims.  At TSN, the Stipulated TSN Claim will be treated under TSN’s plan of reorganization as a general unsecured claim against TSN in the amount of $1.7 million.  At TSC, the Stipulated TSC Claim will receive, in cash, any remaining recovery that TSC would be entitled to receive from the Intercompany Claim up to an amount equal to $1 million minus the distribution that Jefferies receives from the Stipulated TSN Claim (the “Jefferies Intercompany Claim Distribution”).  To the extent that these amounts do not equal $1 million, TSC will make a cash payment to Jefferies after the two distributions described above have been made so that Jefferies’ total recovery is $1 million.  The TSC Debtors believe that this settlement, including the agreement to make a cash payment to Jefferies in consideration for Jefferies’ agreement to accept a substantially reduced payment amount, is in the best interests of the TSC Debtors’ estates and all of their stakeholders.
 
A hearing to approve the Jefferies Stipulations is currently scheduled for January 25, 2012.
 
 
(vi)
Omnibus Claims Objections
 
On July 22, 2011, the TSC Debtors filed their first omnibus claims objection (the “First Omnibus Claims Objection”) seeking entry of an order disallowing and expunging from the TSC Debtors’ claims register certain Proofs of Claim that were asserted on account of Equity Interests in the TSC Debtors, and thus did not constitute proper “claims” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code section 101(5) [Docket No. 142].  On August 26, 2011, the Court entered an order approving the First Omnibus Claims Objection and disallowing and expunging such Proofs of Claim in their entirety [Docket No. 176].
 
On September 6, 2011, the TSC Debtors filed their second omnibus claims objection (the “Second Omnibus Claims Objection”) seeking entry of an order (a) disallowing and expunging from the TSC Debtors’ claims register certain Proofs of Claim that have been amended and superseded, were not filed in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and/or the Bar Date Orders or have already been fully satisfied by the TSC Debtors, (b) reducing a certain Proof of Claim asserted against the TSC Debtors that has been partially satisfied and (c) reducing a certain Proof of Claim asserted against the TSC Debtors that was filed in an improper amount [Docket No. 187].  On October 12, 2011, the Court entered an order approving the Second Omnibus Claims Objection [Docket No. 234].  On November 23, 2011, the Court entered a supplemental order disallowing and expunging three claims which had been adjourned pending the TSC Debtors’ communications with the claimants [Docket No. 286].

Under the Bankruptcy Code, a debtor has the exclusive right to file and solicit acceptance of a plan or plans of reorganization for an initial period of 120 days from the date on which the debtor filed for voluntary relief (the “Exclusive Filing Period”).  If a debtor files a plan during the Exclusive Filing Period, then the debtor has the exclusive right for 180 days from the commencement date to solicit acceptance of the plan (the “Exclusive Solicitation Period” and, together with the Exclusive Filing Period, the “Exclusive Periods”).  During the Exclusive Periods, no other party in interest may file a competing plan of reorganization.  However, a court may extend these periods upon the request of a party in interest.

On March 9, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order extending the Exclusive Periods for the Other TSC Debtors through and including May 23, 2011 and July 22, 2011, respectively [Docket No. 42].  On May 19, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order further extending the Exclusive Periods for the Other TSC Debtors through and including June 16, 2011 and August 15, 2011, respectively [Docket No. 96].  The initial Exclusive Filing Period and Exclusive Solicitation Period for the February Debtors were set to expire on June 16, 2011 and August 15, 2011, respectively.  On June 16, 2011, the TSC Debtors filed a motion seeking to extend their Exclusive Periods, thereby automatically extending their Exclusive Periods until a hearing on such motion could be held.  On July 18, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order extending the Exclusive Periods for each of the TSC Debtors through and including August 15, 2011 and October 14, 2011, respectively [Docket No. 132].
 
On August 12, 2011, the TSC Debtors filed a motion to further extend their Exclusive Periods [Docket No. 159].  In connection therewith, on August 15, 2011, the Court entered a bridge order extending the TSC Debtors’ Exclusive Filing Period through and including the date on which the Court finally determines the relief requested in the exclusivity motion [Docket No. 160].  On September 19, 2011, the Court entered an order extending the Exclusive Periods for each of the TSC Debtors through and including November 14, 2011 and January 13, 2012, respectively [Docket No. 209].

D.
The TSC Debtors’ Licenses and Related Applications
 
As further described above (see generally, Section IV of this Disclosure Statement), the TSC Debtors’ principal business is the lease by 1.4 Holdings to One Dot Four of the rights to use the 1.4 Spectrum for which 1.4 Holdings holds the FCC Licenses.  The FCC has regulatory authority in the United States to regulate the FCC Licenses, including renewal of the FCC Licenses.  No later than two business days after the date the Confirmation Order is entered, the TSC Debtors will file an application with the FCC seeking approval for the transfer of control of 1.4 Holdings.
 
 
E.
Management Compensation Program
 
On August 9, 2011, the TSC Debtors, with the support of Harbinger, Highland and Solus, filed a motion seeking an order authorizing the TSC Debtors to implement a compensation program (the “Compensation Program”) in the TSC Debtors’ cases [Docket No. 155].  Pursuant to the Compensation Program, in exchange for the work being performed by Jeffrey Epstein, Douglas Brandon and Vincent Loiacono (each a “Key Executive” and collectively, the “Key Executives”) as officers of TSC during the TSC Debtors’ cases, the TSC Debtors shall pay each Key Executive, who do not currently receive any compensation from TSC, monthly compensation (the “Compensation Payments”), nunc pro tunc to the Petition Date in the following amounts: (a) $12,000 to Jeffrey Epstein, (b) $10,500 to Douglas Brandon and (c) $7,500 to Vincent Loiacono.  The Compensation Payments shall be paid by the TSC Debtors on a bi-monthly basis, prorated for any partial months.  The aggregate amount of Compensation Payments that will be paid to the Key Executives is capped at $300,000.
 
In addition, the Compensation Program contemplates that within two business days of the later of (a) the date on which there are no disputed claims against any TSC Debtor and (b) the Effective Date, the TSC Debtors shall pay a bonus (collectively, the “Transaction Bonuses”) to the Key Executives equal to 20% of any Increased Net Equity Value (as defined below) times the applicable Key Executive’s distribution percentage, as follows: (a) 40% to Jeffrey Epstein, (b) 35% to Douglas Brandon and (c) 25% to Vincent Loiacono.  The term “Increased Net Equity Value” shall mean the amount that the value of any distributions made pursuant to the Plan to holders of Equity Interests exceeds the sum of Base Equity Value (as defined below) and $100 million (the “Initial Threshold”).  The term “Base Equity Value” shall mean $42.7 million, representing the expected distribution to holders of Equity Interests based on current estimates, including the Exit Facility, but not taking into account potential objections to claims asserted against the TSC Debtors’ estates.  For purposes of calculating Increased Net Equity Value, the 1.4 GHz Spectrum shall be valued at $180 million.  The aggregate amount of the Transaction Bonuses and Compensation Payments paid to the Key Executives shall not exceed $500,000.
 
 
33

 
 
On August 18, 2011, Elektrobit objected to the management compensation motion, requesting that the Court disapprove the proposed Transaction Bonuses or, alternatively, defer consideration of the Transaction Bonuses until the Confirmation Hearing [Docket No. 166].  Elektrobit did not object to the proposed Compensation Payments.  To resolve such objection, the TSC Debtors agreed to adjourn consideration of the Transaction Bonuses until the Confirmation Hearing, or any time sooner as may be mutually agreed in writing by the TSC Debtors and Elektrobit.  On August 26, 2011, the Court entered an order approving the management compensation motion with respect to the Compensation Payments [Docket No. 177].

Requests to Appoint an Official Equity Committee
 
On July 12, 2011, August 9, 2011 and August 19, 2011, certain shareholders of TSC filed letters with the Bankruptcy Court requesting the appointment of an official equity committee in the TSC Debtors’ cases.  In connection therewith, on August 12, 2011, the U.S. Trustee requested a response from the TSC Debtors and the October Creditors’ Committee regarding whether the appointment of such a committee was appropriate.  The TSC Debtors and the October Creditors’ Committee each submitted a written response to the U.S. Trustee, and on September 2, 2011, the U.S. Trustee declined to appoint an official equity committee in the TSC Debtors’ cases.
 
 
G.
Request to Appoint an Examiner
 
On August 29, 2011, Jeffrey Swarts filed an objection to the Disclosure Statement, which included a request for the Bankruptcy Court to appoint an independent examiner to conduct a valuation of the 1.4 Spectrum [Docket No. 179].  The Swarts request was joined by Mohawk Capital LLC on September 15, 2011 [Docket No. 203].  On September 15, 2011, Aldo Perez also filed an objection to the Disclosure Statement, together with a request for the Court to appoint an examiner [Docket No. 207].  On September 15, 2011, the TSC Debtors (with the support of Highland and Harbinger) and Solus each filed an objection to such request [Docket Nos. 201, 202].  A hearing on such requests was held on September 19, 2011, and the Court denied such requests on September 21, 2011 [Docket No. 217].
 
On October 11, 2011, Aldo I. Perez filed a motion for reconsideration of the Court’s order denying the requests and for appointment of an examiner [Docket No. 232]. This request was joined by Swarts [Docket No. 272]. A hearing on the motion for reconsideration was held on November 16, 2011, and the Court denied the Perez motion for reconsideration and his request for appointment of an examiner by order entered November 30, 3011 on the basis that Perez failed to set forth a sufficient basis for reconsideration and that Perez failed to set forth a sufficient basis to appoint an examiner under Bankruptcy Code section 1104(c) [Docket No. 290].  On December 14, 2011, Perez filed a notice of appeal of the Bankruptcy Court’s order denying Perez’s request to appoint an examiner, which notice was docketed by the Court on December 23, 2011 [Docket No. 310].
 
 
H.
Ownership of Preferred Series A and B TSC Interests
 
In order to obtain approval from the FCC for the transactions contemplated by the Plan and for the TSC Debtors to emerge from bankruptcy, TSC and certain of its subsidiaries must file an application with the FCC for the transfer of control of the FCC licensee.  These applications must contain, among other things, information regarding all Persons and their affiliates that will hold, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the New Common Stock.  In addition, in connection with certain tax disclosures, it is necessary to determine those Persons or their affiliates that will hold, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of the New Common Stock.
 
As discussed in further detail in section VIII.C(viii) below, holders of Allowed Preferred Series A and B TSC Interests will receive their Pro Rata share of the New Common Stock pursuant to the Plan.  As a result, the TSC Debtors have incorporated a question in the ballot to be used by holders of Allowed Preferred Series A and B TSC Interests to vote to accept or reject the Plan intended to identify all Persons who, directly or indirectly, will hold 5% or more of the New Common Stock, calculated in a manner consistent with applicable FCC and tax rules and policies.

DESCRIPTION OF THE JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
 
 
A.
General Rules of Classification
 
Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1122, set forth below is a designation of Classes of Claims against and Equity Interests in the TSC Debtors.  A Claim or Equity Interest is placed in a particular Class only to the extent that the Claim or Equity Interest falls within the description of that Class and is classified in other Classes to the extent that any portion of the Claim or Equity Interest falls within the description of such other Classes.  A Claim or Equity Interest is also placed in a particular Class for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan only to the extent that such Claim or Equity Interest is an Allowed Claim in that Class and such Claim or Equity Interest has not been paid, released or otherwise settled prior to the Effective Date.
 
The Plan constitutes a separate chapter 11 plan of reorganization for each TSC Debtor, each of which shall include the classifications set forth below.  For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a Class contains Allowed Claims or Equity Interests with respect to a particular TSC Debtor, such Class is designated with respect to such TSC Debtor.  To the extent that there are no Allowed Claims or Equity Interests in a Class with respect to a particular TSC Debtor, such Class is deemed to be omitted with respect to such TSC Debtor.

Article IX of the Plan provides for release of certain claims against non-debtors in consideration of services provided to the Estates and the settlements, compromises and/or investments made by the non-debtor Released Parties.  The non-debtor Released Parties are:  (a) the DIP Lenders; (b) the DIP Agent; (c) the Bridge Lenders; (d) the Bridge Loan Agent; (e) each holder of Preferred Series A TSC Interests; (f) each holder of Preferred Series B TSC Interests; (g) with respect to each of the foregoing Entities in clauses (a) through (f), such Entities’ current and former subsidiaries, affiliates, members, officers, directors, agents, financial advisors, accountants, investment bankers, consultants, attorneys, employees, partners and representatives, in each case, only in their capacity as such; and (h) the current officers, directors, agents, financial advisors, accountants, investment bankers, consultants, attorneys, employees, partners and representatives of the TSC Debtors, in each case, only in their capacity as such.
 
The Releasing Parties are all Entities that have held, hold or may hold Claims or Equity Interests that have been released pursuant to Article IX.A or Article IX.B of the Plan, have been discharged pursuant to Article IX.D or are subject to exculpation pursuant to Article IX.C of the Plan.  The released claims are any and all claims or causes of action, including those in connection with, related to or arising out of the Chapter 11 Cases.  The releases under the Plan are voluntary.  Specifically, as described in detail in sections VIII.D(ii) through VIII.D(xi) below, if a party who is entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan fails to return its ballot, such party shall be deemed not to have opted out of the release provisions in the Plan.  Any party who is not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan shall be deemed to have opted out of the release provisions in the Plan.
 
The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has determined that releases of non-debtors may be approved as part of a chapter 11 plan of reorganization if there are “unusual circumstances” that render the release terms important to the success of the plan. Deutsche Bank AG v. Metromedia Fiber Network Inc. (In re Metromedia Fiber Network, Inc.), 416 F.3d 136, 143 (2d Cir. 2005).  Courts have approved releases of non-debtors when, for example, (a) the estate received substantial consideration; (b) the enjoined claims were channeled to a settlement fund rather than extinguished; (c) the enjoined claims would indirectly impact the reorganization by way of indemnity or contribution; (d) the plan otherwise provided for the full payment of the enjoined claims; and (e) the affected creditors consented to the release.  Id. at 142.  Before a determination can be made as to whether releases are appropriate as warranted by “unusual circumstances,” the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has concluded that there is a threshold jurisdictional inquiry as to whether the Bankruptcy Court has subject matter jurisdiction to grant such releases.  In re Johns-Manville Corp., 517 F.3d 52, 65 (2d Cir. 2008); see also In re Dreier LLP, 429 B.R. 112, 132 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2010) (finding no jurisdiction to approve releases of claims that did not affect the estate); In re Metcalf & Mansfield Alternative Investments, 421 B.R. 685, 695 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2010) (discussing and approving releases in a case under chapter 15 of the Bankruptcy Code).  Courts have jurisdiction over a third party cause of action or claim if it will “directly and adversely impact the reorganization.”  Dreier, 429 B.R. at 132. Conversely, the Bankruptcy Court may lack jurisdiction if the released claim is one that would “not affect the property of the estate or the administration of the estate.” Id. at 133. Here, all of the released claims would “directly and adversely impact the reorganization” of the TSC Debtors’ Estates.  Each of the entities and individuals granted a release under the Plan would have a potential claim for indemnification and/or contribution against the TSC Debtors for any liabilities incurred on such claims, as well as for any expenses incurred to defend against such claims. Satisfying such claims would reduce the equity value of Reorganized TSC Debtors and thus would reduce recoveries for Holders of Claims and Equity Interests. The TSC Debtors’ Estates therefore would be directly and adversely impacted if the released claims were pursued, and the Bankruptcy Court has jurisdiction to approve them as part of the Plan. The circumstances of the TSC Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases are unique and satisfy the Metromedia requirements. The TSC Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases are notable for their complexity and for the number of stakeholders with divergent interests involved.
 
 
41

 
 
The non-debtors receiving the releases have provided substantial consideration to the Estates, and the inclusion of the non-debtor releases in the Plan is an important element of the consideration provided by these parties.  The recipients of the releases could have potential claims for indemnification and/or contribution against the TSC Debtors. Because the Plan provides a substantial recovery for Holders of Claims, the releases are appropriate under the Metromedia decision and other case law.
 
 
(ii)
Releases by the TSC Debtors
 
Article IX(A) of the Plan provides that pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1123(b), and except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or the Plan Supplement, for good and valuable consideration, including the contributions of the Released Parties to facilitate the expeditious reorganization of the TSC Debtors and the implementation of the restructuring contemplated by the Plan and the other contracts, instruments, releases, agreements or documents executed and delivered in connection with the Plan, each Released Party, solely in its capacity as a Released Party, is deemed released and discharged by the TSC Debtors, the Reorganized TSC Debtors, the Estates and their Affiliates from any and all claims, obligations, rights, suits, damages, Causes of Action, remedies and liabilities whatsoever, including any derivative claims, asserted or assertable on behalf of the TSC Debtors, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, existing or hereinafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that the TSC Debtors, the Reorganized TSC Debtors, the Estates or their Affiliates would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of the holder of any Claim or Equity Interest or other Entity, based in whole or in part on any act, omission, transaction, event or other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date in any way relating to the TSC Debtors, the Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan or the Disclosure Statement, or related agreements, instruments or other documents, other than Claims or liabilities arising out of or relating to any act or omission of a Released Party that constitutes gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct.
 
 
(iii)
Releases by Holders of Claims and Equity Interests
 
Article IX(B) of the Plan provides that as of the Effective Date, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, as such law may be extended or interpreted subsequent to the Effective Date,25 for good and valuable consideration, including the contributions of the Released Parties to facilitate the expeditious reorganization of the TSC Debtors and the implementation of the restructuring contemplated by the Plan and the other contracts, instruments, releases, agreements or documents executed and delivered in connection with the Plan, each holder of a Claim or an Equity Interest who does not opt out of the release provisions in the Plan on their ballot shall be deemed to have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably and forever, released and discharged the TSC Debtors, the Reorganized TSC Debtors and the Released Parties from any and all Claims, Equity Interests, obligations, rights, suits, damages, causes of action, remedies and liabilities whatsoever, including any derivative Claims, asserted on behalf of a TSC Debtor, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that such Entity would have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively), based in whole or in part on any act, omission, transaction, event or other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date in any way relating to the TSC Debtors, the Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan or the Disclosure Statement or related agreements, instruments or other documents, other than Claims or liabilities arising out of or relating to any act or omission of a Released Party that constitutes gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct; provided, that nothing herein shall be deemed a waiver or release of a Releasing Party’s right to receive a distribution pursuant to the terms of the Plan.
 

25  The failure by the Bankruptcy Court to approve these releases shall not render the Plan unconfirmable or otherwise affect the distributions to be made pursuant thereto.
 
 
42

 
 
For the avoidance of doubt, if a party who is entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan fails to return its ballot, such party shall be deemed not to have opted out of the release provisions in the Plan.  Any party who is not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan shall be deemed to have opted out of the release provisions in the Plan.
 
 
(iv)
Exculpation
 
Article IX(c) of the Plan provides that except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or Plan Supplement, no Exculpated Party shall have or incur, and each Exculpated Party is hereby released and exculpated from, any Exculpated Claim, obligation, cause of action or liability for any Exculpated Claim, except any such claim arising out of or relating to any act or omission of an Exculpated Party that constitutes gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, but in all respects such Entities shall be entitled to reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities pursuant to the Plan.  The TSC Debtors and the Reorganized TSC Debtors (and each of their respective Affiliates, agents, directors, officers, employees, advisors and attorneys) have, and upon Confirmation of the Plan shall be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to the solicitation and distribution of the New Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, and, therefore, are not, and on account of such distributions shall not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or such distributions made pursuant to the Plan.
 
Article IX(C) of the Plan provides that notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, nothing in the foregoing “Exculpation” provision shall (1) release any Person or Entity from any liability resulting from any act or omission constituting fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, criminal conduct, malpractice, misuse of confidential information that causes damages or ultra vires act as determined by a Final Order or (2) limit the liability of the professionals of the Exculpated Parties to their respective clients pursuant to N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. tit. 22 § 1200.8 Rule 1.8(h)(1) (2009) or other applicable rules of professional conduct.
 
 
(v)
Discharge of Claims and Termination of Equity Interests
 
Article IX(D) of the Plan provides that pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1141(d), and except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, the distributions, rights and treatment that are provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan shall be in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge, effective as of the Effective Date, of all Claims, Equity Interests and causes of action of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on Claims or Equity Interests from and after the Petition Date, whether known or unknown, against, liabilities of, Liens on, obligations of, rights against and Equity Interests in, the TSC Debtors or any of their assets or properties, regardless of whether any property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims and Equity Interests, including demands, liabilities and causes of action that arose before the Effective Date, liability (including withdrawal liability) to the extent such Claims or Equity Interests relate to services performed by employees of the TSC Debtors before the Effective Date and arise from a termination of employment, any contingent or non-contingent liability on account of representations or warranties issued on or before the Effective Date and all debts of the kind specified in Bankruptcy Code section 502(g), 502(h) or 502(i), in each case whether or not:  (1) a Proof of Claim or Equity Interest based upon such Claim, debt, right or Equity Interest is filed or deemed filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 501; (2) a Claim or Equity Interest based upon such Claim, debt, right or Equity Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 502; or (3) the holder of such Claim or Equity Interest has accepted the Plan.  Except as otherwise provided herein, any default by the TSC Debtors or their Affiliates with respect to any Claim or Equity Interest that existed before or on account of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases shall be deemed cured on the Effective Date.  The Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims and Equity Interests subject to the Effective Date occurring, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan.

 As to the United States, nothing in the Plan or Confirmation Order shall limit or expand the scope of discharge or injunction to which the TSC Debtors or Reorganized TSC Debtors are entitled under the Bankruptcy Code.  The discharge and injunction provisions contained in the Plan and Confirmation Order are not intended and shall not be construed to bar the United States from, subsequent to the Effective Date, pursuing any police or regulatory action.
 
IX.
SOLICITATION AND VOTING PROCEDURES
 
This Disclosure Statement, accompanied by a ballot to be used for voting on the Plan, is being distributed to the holders of Claims and Equity Interests in Classes 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f, 4g, 4h, 4i, 6, 8a and 8b.  Only the holders of Claims and Equity Interests in these Classes are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan and may do so by completing the ballot and returning it in the envelope provided.  Additionally, a discussion of the procedures used to tabulate the votes cast for or against the Plan can be found in Exhibit B, attached hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference and should be read in conjunction with this Disclosure Statement and in formulating a decision to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

The TSC Debtors, with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, have engaged The Garden City Group, Inc. as their Voting and Claims Agent to assist in the solicitation process.  The Voting and Claims Agent will, among other things, answer questions, provide additional copies of all solicitation materials, and generally oversee the solicitation process.  The Voting and Claims Agent will also process and tabulate ballots for each of the respective Classes that are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan and will file a voting report as soon as practicable before the Confirmation Hearing.

 
A.
Holders of Claims and Equity Interests Entitled To Vote on the Plan
 
Under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, not all holders of claims against and interests in a debtor are entitled to vote on a chapter 11 plan.  As shown in the table below, the TSC Debtors are soliciting votes to accept the Plan only from holders of Claims and Equity Interests in Classes 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f, 4g, 4h, 4i, 6, 8a and 8b (collectively, the “Voting Classes”).  The holders of Claims and Equity Interests in the Voting Classes are Impaired under the Plan and are receiving property under the Plan.  Therefore, holders of Claims and Equity Interests in the Voting Classes have the right to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
 
 
46

 
 
The TSC Debtors are not soliciting votes from (a) holders of Unimpaired Claims and Unimpaired Equity Interests in Classes 1, 2, 5, 7, 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d, 9e, 9f, 9g, 9h and 9i because those parties are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan or (b) holders of Claims and Equity Interests in Classes 8c, 8d, 8e and 8a because those parties are conclusively presumed to have rejected the Plan.  Additionally, as set forth in the voting and tabulation procedures, certain holders of Claims in the Voting Classes, such as those holders whose Claims have been disallowed or subject to a pending objection, are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.  The following table provides a summary of the status and voting rights of each Class (and, therefore, of each holder within such Class) under the Plan:

C.
Confirmation Hearing
 
The Confirmation Hearing will commence at 10:00 a.m. prevailing Eastern time on March 7, 2012.  The Confirmation Hearing will be held before the Honorable Sean H.

D.
Requirements for Confirmation of the Plan
 
Among the requirements for Confirmation are the following:  (i) the Plan is accepted by all Impaired Classes or, if the Plan is rejected by an Impaired Class, it “does not discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” as to such Class, (ii) the Plan is feasible and (iii) the Plan is in the “best interests” of holders of Claims and Equity Interests that are Impaired under its provisions.
 
At the Confirmation Hearing, the Bankruptcy Court will determine whether the Plan satisfies the requirements of Bankruptcy Code section 1129.  The TSC Debtors believe that the Plan satisfies or will satisfy all of the necessary requirements of chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Specifically, in addition to other applicable requirements, the TSC Debtors believe that the Plan satisfies or will satisfy the applicable confirmation requirements of the Bankruptcy Code section 1129 set forth below:
 
 
·
The Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
 
·
The TSC Debtors, as the Plan proponents, have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
 
·
The Plan has been proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law.
 
 
·
Any payment made or promised under the Plan for services or for costs and expenses in, or in connection with, the Chapter 11 Cases, or in connection with the Plan and incident to the case, has been disclosed to the Bankruptcy Court, and any such payment (i) made before Confirmation is reasonable or (ii) subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court is reasonable, if it is to be fixed after Confirmation.
 
 
·
Either each holder of an Impaired Claim or Equity Interest in the TSC Debtors has accepted (or is deemed to have accepted) the Plan, or each non-accepting creditor will receive or retain under the Plan on account of such Claim or Equity Interest, property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, that is not less than the amount that the holder would receive or retain if the TSC Debtors were liquidated on that date under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
 
·
Each Class of Claims or Equity Interests that is entitled to vote on the Plan will have accepted the Plan, or the Plan can be confirmed without the approval of the Class pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1129(b).
 
 
·
Except to the extent that the holder of a particular Claim will agree to a different treatment of its Claim, the Plan provides that Administrative Claims and Priority Non-Tax Claims will be paid in full on the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable.
 
 
50

 
 
 
·
At least one Class of Impaired Claims will have accepted the Plan, determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider holding a Claim in that Class.
 
 
·
Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of the TSC Debtors or any successors thereto under the Plan.
 
 
·
All fees of the type described in 28 U.S.C. § 1930, including the fees of the U.S. Trustee, will be paid as of the Effective Date.
 
 
E.
Best Interests of Creditors/Liquidation Analysis
 
Often called the “best interests” test, Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(7) requires that a bankruptcy court find, as a condition to confirmation, that a chapter 11 plan provides, with respect to each class, that each holder of a claim or an interest in such class either (i) has accepted the plan or (ii) will receive or retain under the plan property of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, that is not less than the amount that such holder would receive or retain if the debtors liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.  To make these findings, a bankruptcy court must (i) estimate the cash liquidation proceeds that a chapter 7 trustee would generate if each of the debtor’s chapter 11 cases were converted to a chapter 7 case and the assets of such debtor’s estate were liquidated, (ii) determine the liquidation distribution that each non-accepting holder of a claim or an interest would receive from such liquidation proceeds under the priority scheme dictated in chapter 7 and (iii) compare the holder’s liquidation distribution to the distribution under the plan that the holder would receive if the plan were confirmed and consummated.
 
To satisfy the requirements of Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(7), the TSC Debtors, together with their retained advisors, prepared the liquidation analysis attached as Exhibit D to this Disclosure Statement (the “Liquidation Analysis”).  Based on the Liquidation Analysis, the TSC Debtors believe that holders of Claims against and Equity Interests in the TSC Debtors will receive property of equal or greater value as of the Effective Date under the Plan than such holders would receive in a chapter 7 liquidation and that the Plan will therefore meet the “best interests” test provided in Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(7).
 
 
F.
Feasibility/Financial Projections
 
Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(11) requires that confirmation of the plan of reorganization is not likely to be followed by the liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of the debtor, or any successor to the debtor (unless such liquidation or reorganization is proposed in the plan of reorganization).
 
To determine whether the Plan meets this feasibility requirement, the TSC Debtors have analyzed their ability to meet their respective obligations under the Plan.  As part of this analysis, the TSC Debtors have prepared the projections, attached to this Disclosure Statement as Exhibit E.  Based upon the projections, the TSC Debtors believe that they will be a viable entity following the Chapter 11 Cases and that the Plan will meet the feasibility requirements of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
THE PROJECTIONS ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT E, INCLUDING THE UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS, SHOULD BE CAREFULLY REVIEWED IN EVALUATING THE PLAN.  THE PROJECTIONS WERE PREPARED IN JULY 2011.  WHILE MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE PROJECTIONS, WHEN CONSIDERED ON AN OVERALL BASIS, WERE REASONABLE WHEN PREPARED IN LIGHT OF CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES AND EXPECTATIONS, NO ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT THE PROJECTIONS WILL BE REALIZED.  THE TSC DEBTORS MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE ACCURACY OF THE PROJECTIONS.
 
 
51

 
 
 
G.
Acceptance by Impaired Classes
 
The Bankruptcy Code requires that, except as described in the following section, with respect to each debtor entity, each impaired class of claims or interests must accept a plan in order for it to be confirmed.  A class that is not impaired under a plan is deemed to have accepted the plan, and, therefore, solicitation of acceptances with respect to the class is not required.  A class is impaired unless the plan:  (i) leaves unaltered the legal, equitable and contractual rights to which the claim or the interest entitles the holder of the claim or interest or (ii) cures any default, reinstates the original terms of such obligation, compensates the holder for certain damages or losses, as applicable, and does not otherwise alter the legal, equitable or contractual rights to which such claim or interest entitles the holder of such claim or interest.
 
Bankruptcy Code section 1126(c) defines acceptance of a plan by a class of impaired claims as acceptance by holders of at least two-thirds in dollar amount and more than one-half in number of allowed claims in that class, counting only those claims that actually voted to accept or to reject the plan.  Thus, a class of claims will have voted to accept the plan only if two-thirds in amount and a majority in number actually voting cast their ballots in favor of acceptance.  For a class of impaired interests to accept a plan, Bankruptcy Code section 1126(d) requires acceptance by interest holders that hold at least two-thirds in amount of the allowed interests of such class, counting only those interests that actually voted to accept or reject the plan.  Thus, a class of interests will have voted to accept the plan only if two-thirds in amount actually voting cast their ballots in favor of acceptance.
 
 
H.
Confirmation Without Acceptance by All Impaired Classes/Fair and Equitable Test
 
Bankruptcy Code section 1129(b) allows a bankruptcy court to confirm a plan even if all impaired classes of a debtor’s plan have not accepted the plan, provided that the plan has been accepted by at least one impaired class.  Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1129(b), notwithstanding an impaired class rejection or deemed rejection of the plan, the plan will be confirmed, at the plan proponent’s request, in a procedure commonly known as “cramdown,” so long as the plan does not “discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to each class of claims or interests that is impaired under, and has not accepted, the plan.
 
 
(i)
No Unfair Discrimination
 
Often referred to as the “horizontal test,” this test applies to classes of claims or interests that are of equal priority and are receiving different treatment under a proposed plan.  The test does not require that the treatment be the same or equivalent, but that such treatment be “fair.”  In general, bankruptcy courts consider whether a plan discriminates unfairly in its treatment of classes of claims of equal rank (e.g., classes of the same legal character).  Bankruptcy courts will take into account a number of factors in determining whether a plan discriminates unfairly.  A proposed plan could treat two classes of unsecured creditors differently without unfairly discriminating against either class.
 
 
(ii)
Fair and Equitable Test
 
Often referred to as the “vertical test,” this test applies to classes of different priority and status (e.g., secured versus unsecured) and includes the general requirement that no class of claims receive more than 100% of the amount of the allowed claims in such class.  As to the dissenting class, this test sets different standards depending upon the type of claims or interests in such class:
 
 
a.
Secured Claims
 
The condition that a plan be “fair and equitable” to a non-accepting class of secured claims includes the requirements that:  (i) the holders of such secured claims retain the liens securing such claims to the extent of the allowed amount of the claims, whether the property subject to the liens is retained by the debtor or transferred to another entity under the Plan and (ii) each holder of a secured claim in the class receives deferred cash payments totaling at least the allowed amount of such claim with a value, as of the effective date of the plan, at least equivalent to the value of the secured claimant’s interest in the debtor’s property subject to the liens.
 
 
52

 
 
 
b.
Unsecured Claims
 
The condition that a plan be “fair and equitable” to a non-accepting class of unsecured claims includes the requirement that either:  (i) the plan provides that each holder of a claim of such class receives or retains on account of such claim property of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, equal to the allowed amount of such claim or (ii) the holder of any claim or any interest that is junior to the claims of such class will not receive or retain under the plan on account of such junior claim or junior interest any property, subject to certain exceptions.
 
 
c.
Equity Interests
 
The condition that a plan be “fair and equitable” to a non-accepting class of interests includes the requirements that either:  (i) the plan provides that each holder of an interest in that class receives or retains under the plan on account of that interest property of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, equal to the greater of:  (A) the allowed amount of any fixed liquidation preference to which such holder is entitled, (B) any fixed redemption price to which such holder is entitled or (C) the value of such interest; or (ii) if the class does not receive the amount as required under (i) hereof, no class of interests junior to the non-accepting class may receive a distribution under the plan.
 
If any Impaired Class rejects the Plan, the TSC Debtors reserve the right to seek Confirmation of the Plan utilizing the “cramdown” provision of Bankruptcy Code section 1129(b).  Specifically, to the extent that any Impaired Class rejects the Plan or is deemed to have rejected the Plan, the TSC Debtors will request Confirmation of the Plan, as it may be modified from time to time, under Bankruptcy Code section 1129(b).  The TSC Debtors reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, revoke or withdraw the Plan prior to Confirmation, including to amend or modify the Plan to satisfy the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code section 1129(b).
 
The TSC Debtors submit that if the TSC Debtors “cramdown” the Plan pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1129(b), the Plan is structured such that it does not “discriminate unfairly” and satisfies the “fair and equitable” requirement.  The TSC Debtors believe that the Plan and the treatment of all Classes of Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan satisfy the foregoing requirements for nonconsensual Confirmation of the Plan.
 
 
I.
Valuation of the TSC Debtors
 
In conjunction with formulating the Plan, the TSC Debtors determined that it was necessary to estimate the post-Confirmation going-concern value of the Reorganized TSC Debtors (the “Valuation Analysis”).  The Valuation Analysis is set forth on the exhibit attached hereto as Exhibit F.  The TSC Debtors relied on the discounted cash flow analysis of the Spectrum Lease because, in their view, the cash flows reflected the actual market-tested economic value of the 1.4 Spectrum as of September, 2009.  Certain creditors, including Elektrobit, believe that this valuation does not represent the fair market value of the 1.4 Spectrum today.  The TSC Debtors disagree with this position.
 
THE VALUATION INFORMATION SET FORTH IN EXHIBIT F REPRESENTS A HYPOTHETICAL VALUATION OF THE REORGANIZED TSC DEBTORS, WHICH ASSUMES THAT SUCH REORGANIZED TSC DEBTORS CONTINUE AS AN OPERATING BUSINESS.  THE ESTIMATED VALUE SET FORTH IN EXHIBIT F DOES NOT PURPORT TO CONSTITUTE AN APPRAISAL OR NECESSARILY REFLECT THE ACTUAL MARKET VALUE THAT MIGHT BE REALIZED THROUGH A SALE OR LIQUIDATION OF THE REORGANIZED TSC DEBTORS, THEIR SECURITIES OR THEIR ASSETS, WHICH VALUE MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER OR LOWER THAN THE ESTIMATE SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION.  ACCORDINGLY, SUCH ESTIMATED VALUE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF THE PRICES AT WHICH THE NEW COMMON STOCK OR OTHER SECURITIES OF THE REORGANIZED TSC DEBTORS MAY TRADE AFTER GIVING EFFECT TO THE REORGANIZATION AND TRANSACTIONS SET FORTH IN THE PLAN, WHICH PRICES MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER OR LOWER THAN INDICATED BY THIS VALUATION.
 
 
53

 
 
In connection with the Valuation Analysis, Mohawk asserts that the TSC Debtors’ valuation of $0.07/MHz-POP has dropped significantly from the $0.13/MHz-POP valuation that Jefferies came up with for the very same license in that certain Fairness Opinion, issued by Jefferies on February 3, 2008 (the “Jefferies Fairness Opinion”) and that this decline is questionable since, Mohawk asserts, spectrum valuations in the industry have actually increased in the last 5 years.  Moreover, Mohawk highlights that the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) valuation performed in the Jefferies Fairness Opinion yielded a valuation range of $533.4-$856.2 million as compared to the DCF valuation set forth herein of $175-$185 million.  Mohawk argues that if the DCF valuation set forth herein is based on the Spectrum License, this raises the question as to whether the Spectrum Lease really is below market.  The TSC Debtors disagree with these assertions.
 
 
J.
Effect of Confirmation and Consummation of the Plan
 
Following Confirmation, subject to Article X of the Plan, the Plan will be consummated on the Effective Date.  Among other things, on the Effective Date, certain release, injunction, exculpation and discharge provisions set forth in Article IX of the Plan will become effective.  As such, it is important to read the provisions contained in Article IX of the Plan very carefully so that you understand how Confirmation and consummation of the Plan–which effectuates such provisions–will affect you and any Claim or Equity Interest you may hold against the TSC Debtors and other claim or interest holders so that you cast your vote accordingly.  Further discussion of the releases contemplated in the Plan is provided in Section VIII of this Disclosure Statement.

XI.
RISK FACTORS
 
Holders of Claims and Equity Interests should read and consider carefully the risk factors set forth below, as well as the other information set forth in this Disclosure Statement and the documents delivered together herewith, referred to or incorporated by reference herein, before voting to accept or reject the Plan.  Although these risk factors are many, they should not be regarded as constituting the only risks present in connection with the TSC Debtors’ business or the Plan and its implementation.
 
 
A.
Risks Related to Confirmation of the Plan
 
 
(i)
The TSC Debtors May Not Be Able To Obtain Confirmation of the Plan.
 
To emerge successfully from chapter 11 as a viable business, the TSC Debtors, like any debtor, must obtain approval of a plan of reorganization, and thereafter confirm and successfully implement the Plan.  This process requires the TSC Debtors to (a) meet certain statutory requirements concerning the adequacy of disclosure with respect to any proposed plan, (b) solicit and obtain creditor acceptances of the proposed plan and (c) fulfill other statutory conditions with respect to plan confirmation.
 
With regard to any proposed plan of reorganization, the TSC Debtors may not receive the requisite acceptances to confirm the Plan.  If the requisite acceptances of the Plan are received, the TSC Debtors intend to seek Confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court, notwithstanding the dissent of certain Classes of Claims or Equity Interests pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1129(b).  The Bankruptcy Court may confirm the Plan pursuant to the cramdown provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, which allows the Bankruptcy Court to confirm a plan that has been rejected by an impaired class of claims or interests if it determines that the plan satisfies Bankruptcy Code section 1129(b).  To confirm a plan over the objection of a dissenting class, a bankruptcy court also must find that at least one impaired class has accepted the plan, with such acceptance being determined without including the acceptance of any “insider” in such class.
 
Although the TSC Debtors do not believe that Harbinger meets the statutory predicates to be deemed an insider, there is the possibility that Harbinger could be classified as an insider pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 101(31)(E), such that Harbinger’s votes may not be counted for purposes of fulfilling the requirements of Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(10).  In such a situation, for any Voting Class of which Harbinger is a member, more than two-thirds in amount and more than one-half in number of the remaining creditors actually voting will be required to vote in favor of the Plan for such Class to satisfy Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(10).
 
 
54

 
 
Even if the requisite acceptances of the Plan are received, the Bankruptcy Court might not confirm the Plan as proposed.  A dissenting holder of a Claim against or Equity Interest in the TSC Debtors could challenge the balloting procedures and results as not being in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code.  Further, even if the Bankruptcy Court determined that the balloting procedures and results were appropriate, the Bankruptcy Court could still decline to confirm the Plan if it found that any of the statutory requirements for Confirmation had not been met.  Specifically, Bankruptcy Code section 1129 sets forth the requirements for confirmation and requires, among other things, a finding by the bankruptcy court that (a) a debtor’s plan “does not unfairly discriminate” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to any non-accepting classes, (b) confirmation of the debtor’s plan is not likely to be followed by a liquidation or a need for further financial reorganization and (c) the value of distributions to non-accepting holders of claims within a particular class under the debtor’s plan will not be less than the value of distributions such holders would receive if the debtor were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.  A bankruptcy court may determine that a proposed plan does not satisfy one or more of these requirements, in which case the proposed plan would not be confirmed by a bankruptcy court.
 
In its objection to the Disclosure Statement, Elektrobit asserts that the Plan may be patently unconfirmable because it may not satisfy Bankruptcy Code sections 1123(a)(4), 1129(a)(1), 1129(a)(7), 1129(a)(11) and/or 1129(b).  The TSC Debtors believe that the Plan as currently proposed satisfies all requirements of the Bankruptcy Code.  Nevertheless, there is a risk that the Bankruptcy Court may not agree.
 
If the Plan is not confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, it is unclear whether and when the TSC Debtors would be able to reorganize their businesses and what, if any, distributions holders of Claims or Equity Interests ultimately would receive on account of their Claims or Equity Interests.  There also can be no assurance that the TSC Debtors will be able to successfully develop, prosecute, confirm and consummate an alternative plan of reorganization that is acceptable to the Bankruptcy Court and the TSC Debtors’ creditors and other parties in interest.  Additionally, it is possible that third parties may seek and obtain approval to terminate or shorten the exclusive period under Bankruptcy Code section 1121 during which only the TSC Debtors may propose and solicit votes on a plan of reorganization.  Finally, the TSC Debtors’ emergence from bankruptcy is not assured.  Although the TSC Debtors expect to emerge from bankruptcy, there can be no assurance that the TSC Debtors will successfully reorganize or when this reorganization will occur.
 
 
(ii)
Parties in Interest May Object to the TSC Debtors’ Classification of Claims and Equity Interests.
 
Bankruptcy Code section 1122 provides that a plan may place a claim or an interest in a particular class only if the claim or interest is substantially similar to the other claims or interests in that class.  The TSC Debtors believe that the classification of holders of claims against and interests in the TSC Debtors under the Plan complies with the requirements set forth in the Bankruptcy Code because the classes established under the Plan each encompass claims or interests that are substantially similar to similarly classified claims or interests.  Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will reach the same conclusion.
 
 
(iii)
The Conditions Precedent to the Effective Date of the Plan May Not Occur.
 
As more fully set forth in Article X of the Plan, the Effective Date is subject to a number of conditions precedent.  If these conditions precedent are not met or waived pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Effective Date will not occur.
 
 
(iv)
Historical Financial Information of the TSC Debtors May Not Be Comparable to the Financial Information of the Reorganized TSC Debtors.
 
As a result of the consummation of the Plan and the transactions contemplated thereby, the financial condition and results of operations of the Reorganized TSC Debtors from and after the Effective Date may not be comparable to the financial condition or results of operations reflected in the TSC Debtors’ historical financial statements.
 
 
(v)
The TSC Debtors May Object to the Amount or Classification of a Claim.
 
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the TSC Debtors reserve the right to object (prior to or after the occurrence of the Effective Date) to the amount or classification of any Claim under the Plan.  The estimates set forth in this Disclosure Statement cannot be relied on by any holder of a Claim where such Claim is subject to an objection.  Any holder of a Claim that is subject to an objection thus may not receive its expected share of the estimated distributions described in this Disclosure Statement.
 
 
55

 
 
 
B.
Risks That May Affect the Value of the Securities to Be Issued Under the Plan
 
 
(i)
A Liquid Trading Market for the New Common Stock or the New TSC Notes May Not Develop.
 
There can be no assurances that a liquid trading market for the New Common Stock or New TSC Notes will develop.  The liquidity of any market for the New Common Stock or New TSC Notes will depend, among other things, upon the number of respective holders of New Common Stock and New TSC Notes, the Reorganized TSC Debtors’ financial performance and the market for similar securities, none of which can be determined or predicted.  Therefore, the TSC Debtors cannot provide assurances that an active trading market will develop, or if a market develops, what the liquidity or pricing characteristics of that market will be.  If an active trading market does not develop, holders of New Common Stock and New TSC Notes may have difficulty selling their shares or notes, as the case may be.
 
 
(ii)
The Resale of the New Common Stock and New TSC Notes May Be Restricted by Law.
 
As described in Article XII of the Plan, titled “Application of Securities Laws,” the TSC Debtors intend to rely on the exemption from registration, pursuant to the exemptions contained in Bankruptcy Code section 1145, the Securities Act and/or equivalent exemptions in state securities laws, as applicable.  However, if a holder of New Common Stock or New TSC Notes (to the extent the New TSC Notes are securities) is deemed to be an “underwriter” with respect to such securities (with certain exceptions for “ordinary trading transactions” by certain persons) or an “affiliate” of the issuer of such securities, resales of such securities by such holder would not be exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws under Securities Act section 4(1).  Accordingly, such sales could be effected only pursuant to an effective registration statement or in reliance on another applicable exemption from these registration requirements, which may not be available to such holder.
 
 
(iii)
The Valuation of New Common Stock and New TSC Notes Is Not Intended To Represent the Trading Value of the Securities To Be Issued.
 
The valuation of the Reorganized TSC Debtors, set forth on Exhibit F hereto, is based on the assumption that the holders of Claims and Equity Interests will receive substantially all of the issued New Common Stock or New TSC Notes on behalf of their Claims and Equity Interests, as applicable, and is not intended to represent the trading values of New Common Stock or New TSC Notes in public or private markets.
 
 
(iv)
The Reorganized TSC Debtors May Not Achieve Projected Financial Results or Meet Post-reorganization Debt Obligations and May Not Finance All Operating Expenses, Working Capital Needs and Capital Expenditures.
 
The projected financial results of the Reorganized TSC Debtors are based on numerous assumptions, including the timing, Confirmation and consummation of the Plan in accordance with its terms, the anticipated future performance of the Reorganized TSC Debtors, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of the Reorganized TSC Debtors and which may not materialize.
 
Accordingly, the Reorganized TSC Debtors may not be able to achieve the revenue or cash flow relied upon to make their projections or to otherwise meet their projected financial results.  To the extent that the Reorganized TSC Debtors do not meet their projected financial results or achieve projected revenues and cash flows, the Reorganized TSC Debtors may lack sufficient liquidity to continue operating as planned after the Effective Date, may be unable to service their debt obligations as they come due or may be unable to meet their operational needs.  Any one of these failures may preclude the Reorganized TSC Debtors from, among other things:  (a) taking advantage of future opportunities, (b) growing their business or (c) responding to competitive pressures.  Further, a failure of the Reorganized TSC Debtors to meet their projected financial results or achieve their projected revenues and cash flows could lead to cash flow and working capital constraints, which constraints may require the Reorganized TSC Debtors to seek additional working capital.  The Reorganized TSC Debtors may not be able to obtain such working capital when it is required.  Further, even if the Reorganized TSC Debtors were able to obtain additional working capital, it may be available only on unreasonable terms.  If any such required capital is obtained in the form of equity, the interests of the holders of the then-outstanding New Common Stock could be diluted.  While the TSC Debtors’ financial projections represent management’s view based on current known facts and assumptions about the future operations of the Reorganized TSC Debtors, there is no guarantee that the financial projections will be realized.
 
 
56

 
 
 
(v)
The Reorganized TSC Debtors May Be Controlled by a Small Number of Holders.
 
Consummation of the Plan may result in a small number of holders owning a significant percentage of the outstanding shares of New Common Stock.  These holders may, among other things, exercise a controlling influence over the business and affairs of the Reorganized TSC Debtors and have the power to elect directors and approve significant mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and other material corporate transactions, including the sale of the Reorganized TSC Debtors, or delay, prevent or deter such transactions.  The interests of such holders may differ from the interests of the other holders of New Common Stock and the New TSC Notes.  The TSC Debtors can make no assurances regarding the future actions of the holders of New Common Stock and the impact such actions may have on the value of the New Common Stock and the New TSC Notes.
 
 
C.
Risks Related to the TSC Debtors’ Businesses
 
 
(i)
There are Risks and Uncertainties Associated with the Chapter 11 Cases.
 
Although the TSC Debtors believe that the Chapter 11 Cases, commenced in order to implement an agreed-upon restructuring, will be of short duration and will not be materially disruptive to their businesses, the TSC Debtors cannot be certain that this will be the case.  The Plan is designed to minimize the length of the bankruptcy proceeding; however, it is impossible to predict with certainty the amount of time that the TSC Debtors may spend in bankruptcy or to assure parties in interest that the Plan will be confirmed.
 
Even if the Plan is confirmed on a timely basis, for the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, the TSC Debtors’ ability to execute their business strategy will be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with bankruptcy.  These risks include:
 
 
·
the TSC Debtors’ ability to obtain approval of the Bankruptcy Court with respect to motions filed in the Chapter 11 Cases from time to time;
 
 
·
the TSC Debtors’ ability to maintain contracts that are critical to their operations;
 
 
·
the TSC Debtors’ ability to fund and execute their business plan; and
 
 
·
the TSC Debtors’ ability to obtain creditor, equity holder and Bankruptcy Court approval for, and then to consummate, the Plan and emerge from bankruptcy.
 
The TSC Debtors will also be subject to risks and uncertainties with respect to the actions and decisions of the creditors and other third parties who have interests in the Chapter 11 Cases that may be inconsistent with the TSC Debtors’ restructuring and business goals.
 
These risks and uncertainties could affect the TSC Debtors’ business in various ways.  For example, negative events or publicity associated with the Chapter 11 Cases could adversely affect the TSC Debtors’ operations and financial condition.  In addition, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the TSC Debtors need approval of the Bankruptcy Court for transactions outside the ordinary course of business, which may limit their ability to respond timely to certain events or take advantage of certain opportunities.  Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, the TSC Debtors cannot predict or quantify the ultimate impact that events occurring during the reorganization process will have on their business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
57

 
 
As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities are subject to uncertainty.  While operating as debtors in possession, and subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court, or otherwise as permitted in the normal course of business or by Bankruptcy Court order, the TSC Debtors may sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or settle liabilities for amounts other than those reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements included in TSC’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010.  Further, the Plan could materially change the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities reported in the historical consolidated financial statements.  As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the TSC Debtors do not have audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.  The historical consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the reported amounts of assets or liabilities that might be necessary as a result of Confirmation of the Plan.
 
 
(ii)
The Reorganized TSC Debtors Will Have Indebtedness Upon Emergence.
 
On the Effective Date, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Plan, the Reorganized TSC Debtors will, on a consolidated basis, have up to approximately $5 million in secured indebtedness as a result of the Exit Facility and up to approximately $35 million in unsecured indebtedness in the form of the New TSC Notes.  The total amount of the unsecured indebtedness will be a function of the total amount of Unsecured Claims allowed against TSC and TS Holdings in these Chapter 11 Cases, including, without limitation, the Claims filed by Sprint, Jefferies and Elektrobit, which Claims the TSC Debtors dispute.  Of this amount, approximately $27.8 million relates to the claim asserted by Elektrobit.  As discussed in section VII.B(iv) hereof, the TSC Debtors and the Preferred Shareholders have objected to this claim and believe that it will be allowed, if at all, in a significantly lower amount.
 
The Reorganized TSC Debtors’ indebtedness could have important consequences because:
 
 
·
a portion of the Reorganized TSC Debtors’ cash flow from operations will be dedicated to debt service and be unavailable to support operations, working capital, capital expenditures, expansion, acquisitions or general corporate or other purposes,
 
 
·
the Reorganized TSC Debtors’ ability to obtain additional financing in the future may be limited,
 
 
·
the Reorganized TSC Debtors’ flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in their business may be limited, and
 
 
·
it may make the Reorganized TSC Debtors more vulnerable in the event of a downturn in their business or the economy in general.
 
The Reorganized TSC Debtors’ ability to make payments on and to refinance their debt will depend on their ability to generate cash in the future.  This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, business, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond the control of the Reorganized TSC Debtors.
 
There can be no assurance that the Reorganized TSC Debtors will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that sufficient future borrowings will be available to pay off the Reorganized TSC Debtors’ debt obligations.  The Reorganized TSC Debtors may need to refinance all or a portion of their debt on or before maturity; however, there can be no assurance that the Reorganized TSC Debtors will be able to refinance any of their debt on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
 
 
(iii)
The TSC Debtors May Require Funding After Emergence.
 
The TSC Debtors may require funds for general and administrative expenses, working capital, interest on borrowings, financing costs, potential capital expenditures and operating expenses.  Such capital expenditures could exceed current estimates, in which case, the TSC Debtors may need to modify certain portions of their business plan.  If the TSC Debtors require more funding than they currently anticipate, or cannot meet their financing needs, their ability to operate their business, financial condition and results of operation could be adversely affected.
 
 
58

 
 
 
(iv)
The Current Weakening of U.S. Economic Conditions, as Well as Any Future Downturns or Changes in Consumer Spending, Could Adversely Affect the TSC Debtors’ Financial Condition.
 
The United States has experienced an economic downturn, and spending by consumers has dropped.  If this downturn and decrease in spending continues, the TSC Debtors’ business may be adversely affected. Specifically, demand for use of the 1.4 Spectrum may wane.  A lack of demand could adversely affect the TSC Debtors’ ability to realize the full economic benefits of the Spectrum Lease or enter into other strategic relationships.
 
 
(v)
The TSC Debtors May Be Negatively Affected by Industry Consolidation.
 
Consolidation in the communications industry could adversely affect the TSC Debtors by increasing the scale or scope of the TSC Debtors’ competitors, or creating a competitor that is capable of providing services similar to those the TSC Debtors intend to offer, thereby making it more difficult for the TSC Debtors to compete. Industry consolidation also may impede the TSC Debtors’ ability to identify acquisition, joint venture or other strategic opportunities.
 
 
(vi)
Certain Tax Implications of the TSC Debtors’ Bankruptcy and Reorganization May Increase the Tax Liability of the Reorganized TSC Debtors.
 
Holders of Claims and Equity Interests should carefully review Section XIII herein, titled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Plan,” to determine how the tax implications of the Plan and the TSC Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases may adversely affect the Reorganized TSC Debtors.  Certain tax implications of the TSC Debtors’ bankruptcy and reorganization may increase the tax liability of the Reorganized TSC Debtors.
 
 
D.
Risks Relating to Government Regulations
 
 
(i)
The TSC Debtors’ Business Is Subject to a High Degree of Government Regulation.
 
The communications industry is highly regulated by governmental entities and regulatory authorities, including the FCC.  The TSC Debtors’ business is completely dependent upon 1.4 Holdings holding the FCC Licenses for the 1.4 Spectrum.  Failure to obtain or maintain necessary governmental authorizations, specifically the FCC Licenses, would impair the TSC Debtors’ ability to continue to use the 1.4 Spectrum and would have a material adverse effect on their financial condition.
 
 
(ii)
The TSC Debtors Could Lose Their FCC Licenses and Be Subject to Fines or Other Penalties.
 
The TSC Debtors must comply with complex and changing FCC rules and regulations to maintain the FCC Licenses held by 1.4 Holdings for the 1.4 Spectrum.  Non-compliance with FCC technical and legal requirements could result in fines, additional conditions, revocation, cancellation or non-renewal of the FCC Licenses, or other adverse FCC actions.
 
Each of the FCC Licenses for the 1.4 Spectrum was issued for a ten-year term that expires on April 23, 2017 and will have to be renewed prior to expiration.  At such time, 1.4 Holdings will receive a renewal expectancy for each FCC License that is used to provide substantial service to the public.  Presently, One Dot Four is just beginning to use the 1.4 Spectrum, and it is not possible to determine the likelihood that 1.4 Holdings, or One Dot Four on behalf of 1.4 Holdings, will be able to satisfy the substantial service requirement in April 2017.  If this substantial service requirement is not satisfied and a waiver of the requirement is not obtained from the FCC for any FCC License, such FCC License will not be renewed by the FCC.  The loss of the TSC Debtors’ FCC Licenses, including failure to renew such FCC Licenses, would prevent the TSC Debtors from implementing their business plan.
 
 
59

 
 
 
(iii)
The TSC Debtors May Face Unforeseen Regulations with Which They Find It Difficult, Costly or Impossible To Comply.
 
The provision of communications services is highly regulated. As a provider of communications services in the United States, the TSC Debtors will be subject to the laws and regulations of the United States.  Violations of United States laws or regulations may result in various sanctions, including fines, loss of authorizations and the denial of applications for new authorizations or for the renewal of existing FCC licenses.
 
From time to time, the FCC or other United States governmental entities may impose new or modified conditions on the TSC Debtors’ FCC Licenses, which could adversely affect their ability to generate revenues and implement their business plan.  For example, the TSC Debtors are currently required to pay certain fees, and it is possible that the TSC Debtors may be subject to increased fees in the future.
 
 
(iv)
FCC Regulations and the Approval Process Could Delay or Impede a Transfer of Control of the TSC Debtors.
 
Any investment that could result in a transfer of control of the TSC Debtors and, potentially also a transfer of control of the TSN Debtors, or an assignment of the TSC Debtors’ FCC Licenses to another party is subject to prior FCC approval and, in some cases, could involve a lengthy review period prior to FCC approval.  The TSC Debtors anticipate that they will need FCC approval before the emergence of the TSC Debtors from bankruptcy reorganization.  The TSC Debtors may not be able to obtain such FCC approval on a timely basis, if at all, and the FCC may impose new or additional license conditions as part of any review of such a request.  As a result, these approval requirements could impede or prevent a transfer of control of the TSC Debtors as part of their intended reorganization.
 
 
E.
Risks Relating to Forward-Looking Statements
 
The financial information contained in this Disclosure Statement has not been audited.  In preparing this Disclosure Statement, the TSC Debtors relied on financial data derived from their books and records that was available at the time of such preparation.  Although the TSC Debtors have used their reasonable business judgment to ensure the accuracy of the financial information provided in this Disclosure Statement, and while the TSC Debtors believe that such financial information fairly reflects, in all material respects, the financial results of the TSC Debtors, the TSC Debtors are unable to warrant or represent that the financial information contained herein and attached hereto is without inaccuracies.
 
This Disclosure Statement contains various projections concerning the financial results of the Reorganized TSC Debtors’ operations, including the financial projections that are, by their nature, forward-looking, and which projections are necessarily based on certain assumptions or estimates that may ultimately prove to be incorrect.  The actual future financial results of the Reorganized TSC Debtors may turn out to be different from the financial projections.  The financial projections do not reflect emergence adjustments, including the impact of “fresh start” accounting.
 
Specifically, the projected financial results contained in this Disclosure Statement reflect numerous assumptions concerning the anticipated future performance of the Reorganized TSC Debtors, some of which may not materialize, including, without limitation, assumptions concerning:  (a) the magnitude of the potential adverse impacts of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases on the TSC Debtors’ business, financial condition or results of operations, (b) the TSC Debtors’ ability to obtain approval of Bankruptcy Court with respect to motions in the Chapter 11 Cases prosecuted from time to time and to develop, prosecute, confirm and consummate one or more plans of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases and to consummate all of the transactions contemplated by one or more such plans or upon which consummation of such plans may be conditioned, (c) the timing of confirmation and consummation of one or more plans of reorganization in accordance with its terms, (d) the anticipated future performance of the Reorganized TSC Debtors, (e) general economic conditions in the markets in which the TSC Debtors operate, including changes in interest rates or currency exchange rates, (f) the financial condition of the TSC Debtors’ service providers and (g) other risks described herein and from time to time in TSC’s SEC filings.
 
 
60

 
 
Due to inherent uncertainties associated with projecting financial results generally, the projections contained in this Disclosure Statement will not be considered assurances or guarantees of the amount of funds or the amount of Claims that may be Allowed in the various Classes.  While the TSC Debtors believe that the financial projections contained in this Disclosure Statement are reasonable, there can be no assurance that they will be realized.
 
 
F.
Risks Relating to Recoveries Under the Plan
 
 
(i)
Risks Relating to Recovery Projections.
 
This Disclosure Statement contains various projections concerning the financial results of the Reorganized TSC Debtors’ operations, including the financial projections, that are, by their nature, forward looking, and which projections are necessarily based on certain assumptions and estimates regarding the anticipated future performance of the Reorganized TSC Debtors, including, without limitation, their ability to maintain or increase revenue and gross margins, control future operating expenses or make necessary capital, as well as assumptions concerning general business and economic conditions and overall industry performance and trends, which the TSC Debtors are unable to control.  Should any or all of these assumptions or estimates ultimately prove to be incorrect or not materialize, the actual future experiences of the Reorganized TSC Debtors may turn out to be different from the financial projections.
 
Due to the inherent uncertainties associated with projecting financial results generally, the projections contained in this Disclosure Statement will not be considered assurances or guarantees of the amount of funds or the amount of Claims that may be Allowed in the various Classes.  While the TSC Debtors believe that the financial projections contained in this Disclosure Statement are reasonable, there can be no assurance that they will be realized.  Also, because the liquidation analysis, distribution projections and other information contained herein and attached hereto are estimates only, the timing and amount of actual distributions to holders of Allowed Claims may be affected by many factors that cannot be predicted.
 
The Claims estimates set forth herein are based on various assumptions.  The actual amounts of Allowed Claims may differ significantly from those estimates should one or more underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect.  Such differences may adversely affect the percentage recovery to holders of such Allowed Claims under the Plan.  Moreover, the estimated recoveries set forth herein are necessarily based on numerous assumptions, the realization of many of which are beyond the TSC Debtors’ control, including, without limitation, (a) the successful reorganization of the TSC Debtors, (b) an assumed date for the occurrence of the Effective Date, (c) the TSC Debtors’ ability to achieve the operating and financial results included in the financial projections, (d) the TSC Debtors’ ability to maintain adequate liquidity to fund operations and (e) the assumption that capital and equity markets remain consistent with current conditions.  The actual amounts of Allowed Claims may differ significantly from those estimates should one or more underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, which could affect the percentage recovery to holders of such Allowed Claims under the Plan, in some instances adversely.  Also, the estimated recoveries to holders of Allowed Claims are not intended to represent the private sale values of the Reorganized TSC Debtors’ securities.
 
The TSC Debtors understand that there is a risk that One Dot Four may not continue to meet its obligations under the Spectrum Lease.  If this were to occur, the Debtors believe sufficient value will be generated either by re-leasing the Spectrum or by selling the Debtors’ equity interest in 1.4 Holdings to allow the Reorganized TSC Debtors to satisfy their obligations under the New TSC Notes.  Should such a default occur, the Reorganized TSC Debtors will be unable to re-lease the spectrum to another lessee without first seeking and obtaining the approval of the FCC, which Elektrobit believes could result in lengthy delays and which approval cannot be assured.  The TSC Debtors do not believe such approval process will result in a substantial delay.  Additionally, Blackstone does not believe that the risk of a default under the Spectrum Lease necessitates an adjustment of either the valuation analysis or of the New TSC Notes because of the sufficient asset value coverage.
 
The distributions available to holders of Allowed Claims under the Plan can be affected by a variety of contingencies, including, without limitation, whether the Bankruptcy Court orders the subordination of any Allowed Claims to other Allowed Claims, whether the TSC Debtors object to the amount or classification of any Claim or whether, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the TSC Debtors are required to modify certain terms or conditions of the Plan in order to confirm the Plan.  The occurrence of contingencies that could affect distributions available to holders of Allowed Claims under the Plan, however, will not affect the validity of the vote taken by the Impaired Classes to accept or reject the Plan or require any sort of revote by the Impaired Classes.
 
 
61

 
 
 
(ii)
The Spectrum Lease May Be a Below-market Lease.
 
The Spectrum Lease may be a below-market lease, meaning that recoveries under the Plan related to the Spectrum Lease may be less than could be achieved if the Spectrum Lease could be rejected.  Additionally, under certain conditions, One Dot Four has an option, but not the obligation, to purchase the FCC Licenses for a specified purchase price (less credit for certain amounts paid under the Spectrum Lease), which purchase price may be below the market value of the FCC Licenses.  Specifically, the Spectrum Lease provides that One Dot Four has the option to purchase the FCC Licenses for $250 million if certain events occur.  Such events include, but are not limited to, the chapter 11 filing of any direct parent of 1.4 Holdings or if any person or group becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the total voting power of the voting stock or membership interests of 1.4 Holdings.  The chapter 11 filings of TSC and TS Holdings, as well as the issuance of New Common Stock under the Plan, may entitle One Dot Four to exercise its purchase right.  Further information regarding 1.4 Holdings and the Spectrum Lease is contained in Sections IV.B and IV.C of this Disclosure Statement.

XII.
APPLICATION OF SECURITIES LAWS
 
 
A.
Issuance and Resale of Securities Under the Plan
 
Bankruptcy Code section 1145 generally exempts the issuance of a security from registration under the Securities Act (and any equivalent state securities or “blue sky” laws) if the following conditions are satisfied:  (i) the security is issued by a debtor (or its successor) under a chapter 11 plan, (ii) the recipient of the security holds a claim against, an interest in or a claim for an administrative expense against the debtor and (iii) the security is issued entirely in exchange for such claim or interest or is issued “principally” in exchange for such claim or interest and “partly” for cash or property.
 
Bankruptcy Code section 1145 is not available to any entity that is defined as an underwriter as defined in Bankruptcy Code section 1145(b).  Bankruptcy Code section 1145(b) defines an “underwriter” as an entity who:  (A) purchases a claim against, interest in or claim for an administrative expense in the case concerning the debtor, if such purchase is with a view to the distribution of any security received or to be received in exchange for such a claim or interest, (B) offers to sell securities offered or sold under a plan for the holder of such securities, (C) offers to buy securities offered or sold under a plan from the holder of such securities, if such offer to buy is (i) with a view to the distribution of such securities and (ii) under an agreement made in connection with the plan, with the consummation of the plan or with the offer or sale of securities under the plan or (D) is an issuer, as used in Securities Act section 2(a)(11), with respect to such securities.  “Issuer” for these purposes is defined as any person who, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with, the issuer.  “Control” (as such term is defined in Rule 405 of Regulation C under the Securities Act) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
 
 
64

 
 
Securities exempt from registration under Bankruptcy Code section 1145 may be resold without registration under the Securities Act or other federal securities laws pursuant to the exemption provided in Securities Act section 4(1), which provides that the registration provisions of the Securities Act do not apply to transactions by persons other than issuers, underwriters or dealers.  In addition, such securities generally may be resold without registration under the state securities laws pursuant to various exemptions provided by the respective laws of several states.  However, recipients of securities issued under the Plan are advised to consult their own counsel as to the availability of any such exemption from registration in any given instance and as to any applicable requirements or conditions to such availability.
 
Securities distributed under the Plan to affiliates of the TSC Debtors, meaning persons in a “control” relationship with the TSC Debtors, would not be eligible for the exemption provided in Securities Act section 4(1).  However, affiliates who receive securities under the Plan that would otherwise qualify for the exemption of Bankruptcy Code section 1145 might still be able to sell those securities without registration pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.  Rule 144 allows a holder of securities that is an affiliate of an issuer to sell, without registration, the number of such securities that does not exceed, together with all sales of securities of the same class sold for the account of such holder within the preceding three months, the greater of 1% of the number of outstanding securities in question or the average weekly trading volume in the securities in question during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of such sale was filed pursuant to Rule 144, subject to the satisfaction of certain other requirements of Rule 144 regarding the manner of sale, notice requirements and the availability of specified current public information regarding the issuer.
 
There can be no assurance that an active market for any of the securities to be distributed under the Plan will develop, and no assurance can be given as to the prices at which they might be traded.
 
BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEX, SUBJECTIVE NATURE OF THE QUESTION OF WHETHER A PARTICULAR HOLDER MAY BE AN UNDERWRITER, AFFILIATE OR DEALER, THE TSC DEBTORS MAKE NO REPRESENTATION CONCERNING THE ABILITY OF ANY PERSON TO DISPOSE OF THE SECURITIES TO BE DISTRIBUTED UNDER THE PLAN.
 
MOREOVER, SUCH SECURITIES, OR THE DOCUMENTS THAT ESTABLISH THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, MAY CONTAIN TERMS AND LEGENDS THAT RESTRICT OR INDICATE THE EXISTENCE OF RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRANSFERABILITY OF SUCH SECURITIES.
 
THE TSC DEBTORS RECOMMEND THAT RECIPIENTS OF SECURITIES UNDER THE PLAN CONSULT WITH LEGAL COUNSEL CONCERNING THE LIMITATIONS ON THEIR ABILITY TO DISPOSE OF SUCH SECURITIES.
 
 
B.
New Common Stock and New TSC Notes
 
The Plan provides that each holder of a Class 4a or 4b Allowed Unsecured Claim will receive on the Initial Distribution Date and in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for such Class 4a and/or 4b Allowed Unsecured Claim, its Pro Rata share (calculated with reference to all Allowed Unsecured Claims in Classes 4a and 4b) of New TSC Notes in an aggregate amount such that each holder of an Allowed Unsecured Claim in Class 4a or 4b receives a 100% recovery on account of such Allowed Unsecured Claim in Class 4a or 4b, including post-petition interest at the federal judgment rate.  Furthermore, each holder of Preferred Series A TSC Interests or Preferred Series B TSC Interests in Classes 7a and 7b, respectively, shall receive their Pro Rata share of the New Common Stock.
 
 
65

 
 
As discussed above, the TSC Debtors believe that the issuance of the New Common Stock and New TSC Notes (to the extent the New TSC Notes are securities) is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and equivalent state securities or “blue sky” laws pursuant to the exemptions contained, as applicable, in Bankruptcy Code section 1145, the Securities Act of 1933 and/or equivalent exemptions in state securities laws.
 
XIII.
CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN
 
The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan to the TSC Debtors and certain holders of Claims and Equity Interests.  This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”), Treasury Regulations thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations and practice, all as in effect on the date of this Disclosure Statement and all of which are subject to change, with possible retroactive effect.  Due to the lack of definitive judicial and administrative authority in a number of areas, substantial uncertainty may exist with respect to some of the tax consequences described below.  No opinion of counsel has been obtained, and the TSC Debtors do not intend to seek a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) as to any of the tax consequences of the Plan discussed below.  Events occurring after the date of this Disclosure Statement, including changes in law and changes in administrative positions, could affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the restructuring of the TSC Debtors.  No representations are being made regarding the particular tax consequences of Confirmation and consummation of the Plan to the TSC Debtors or any holder. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge one or more of the tax consequences of the Plan described below.
 
This summary does not apply to holders of Claims or Equity Interests that are otherwise subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law (including, for example, banks, governmental authorities or agencies, financial institutions, insurance companies, pass-through entities, tax-exempt organizations, brokers and dealers in securities, mutual funds, small business investment companies, employees, persons who receive their Claims or Equity Interests pursuant to the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as compensation, persons holding Claims or Equity Interests that are a hedge against, or that are hedged against, currency risk or that are part of a straddle, constructive sale or conversion transaction and regulated investment companies).  The following discussion assumes that holders of Allowed Claims hold such Claims as “capital assets” within the meaning of Tax Code section 1221.  Moreover, this summary does not purport to cover all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may apply to the TSC Debtors and holders of Allowed Claims and Equity Interests based upon their particular circumstances.  Additionally, this summary does not discuss any tax consequences that may arise under any laws other than U.S. federal income tax law, including under state, local or foreign tax law.
 
For purposes of this summary, a “U.S. Holder” means a holder of Claims or Equity Interests that, in any case, is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:  (i) an individual that is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source or (iv) a trust (x) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of such trust or (y) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.  A “Non-U.S. Holder” means a holder of Claims or Equity Interests that is not a U.S. Holder and is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an individual, corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes), estate or trust.
 
If an entity taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Claims or Equity Interests, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner (or other owner) of the entity generally will depend on the status of the partner (or other owner) and the activities of the entity.  Such partner (or other owner) should consult its tax advisor as to the tax consequences of the entity’s ownership or disposition of Claims, Equity Interests or New Common Stock.
 
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan are complex.  The following summary is for information purposes only and is not a substitute for careful tax planning and advice based on the particular circumstances of each holder of a Claim or Equity Interest.  Each holder of a Claim or Equity Interest is urged to consult his, her or its own tax advisors as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences, as well as other tax consequences, including under any applicable state, local and foreign law, of the restructuring described in the Plan.

A.
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to the Reorganized TSC Debtors
 
 
(i)
Cancellation of Debt and Reduction of Tax Attributes
 
As a result of the Plan, the TSC Debtors’ aggregate outstanding indebtedness will be reduced.  In general, absent an exception, a debtor will recognize cancellation of debt (“COD”) income upon discharge of its outstanding indebtedness for an amount less than its adjusted issue price.  The amount of COD income, in general, is the excess of (a) the adjusted issue price of the indebtedness discharged over (b) the sum of the issue price of any new indebtedness of the taxpayer issued, the amount of cash paid and the fair market value of any other consideration, including stock of Reorganized TSC, given in exchange for such indebtedness at the time of the exchange.
 
A debtor is not, however, required to include any amount of COD income in gross income if such debtor is under the jurisdiction of a court in a chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding and the discharge of debt occurs pursuant to that proceeding.  Instead, as a price for the exclusion of COD income under the foregoing rule, Tax Code section 108 requires the debtor to reduce (as of the first day of the taxable year following the year of the debt discharge) its tax attributes by the amount of COD income that it excluded from gross income.  As a general rule, tax attributes will be reduced in the following order:  (i) net operating losses (“NOLs”), (ii) most tax credits, (iii) capital loss carryovers, (iv) tax basis in assets (but not below the amount of liabilities to which the debtor remains subject) and (v) foreign tax credits.  A debtor with COD income may elect first to reduce the basis of its depreciable assets under Tax Code section 108(b)(5).
 
The amount of COD income (and, accordingly, the amount of tax attributes required to be reduced) cannot be known with certainty until after the Effective Date.  Thus, although it is expected that a reduction of tax attributes will be required, the exact amount of such reduction cannot be predicted with certainty.
 
Any required reduction in tax attributes of a member of a consolidated group applies first to any tax attributes attributable to the debtor realizing the COD income at issue. To the extent that the debtor reduces its tax basis in the stock of another member of the consolidated group (which basis may not be reduced below zero), such other member is required to reduce its tax attributes by an equivalent amount.  It is not anticipated that the TSC Debtors will utilize tax attributes of other members of the TSC consolidated tax group due to the realization of COD income.
 
 
(ii)
Limitation of Net Operating Loss Carry Forwards and Other Tax Attributes
 
The TSC Debtors collectively will have unexpired NOL carryovers at the time of the Effective Date of approximately $918 million, a significant portion of which is or may be subject to limitations, as discussed below, from prior ownership changes.  Of this amount, approximately $845 million was incurred by Motient Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, primarily Motient Services Inc. and Motient Communications Inc.  No active business has been conducted by Motient Services Inc. since 2003, following the sale of its business or by Motient Communications Inc. since 2006, following the sale of its business.  It is unclear whether the NOLs held by Motient Holdings, Inc. remain available for use by the TSC Debtors.  Additionally, the TSC Debtors collectively have approximately $110 million in capital losses located in MVH Holdings Inc. from 2008 available for a five-year carryforward at the time of the Effective Date.  The precise amount of NOL carryovers and other tax attributes, including capital losses, that will be available to the TSC Debtors collectively and individually after emergence is based on a number of factors and is impossible to calculate at this time.  Some of the factors that will impact the amount of available NOLs include the amount of tax losses incurred by the TSC Debtors in 2010 and 2011, the value of the New Common Stock and whether its terms will cause it to be considered in this determination, the amount of COD income, if any, realized by the TSC Debtors under the Plan and the extent to which different TSC Debtors are affiliated or combined pursuant to the Plan.  It is possible that an ownership change may have occurred in the last year, which would significantly reduce the TSC Debtors’ ability to utilize the NOLs.  Moreover, some of the NOL and capital loss carryovers may be utilized in connection with steps necessary to implement TSN’s chapter 11 plan.
 
 
67

 
 
Under Tax Code sections 382 and 383, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” the amount of its pre-change losses that may be utilized to offset future taxable income generally is subject to an annual limitation.  At this time, the TSC Debtors anticipate that the issuance of the New Common Stock under the Plan is likely to result in an “ownership change” of the TSC Debtors for these purposes and that the TSC Debtors’ use of their pre-change losses is likely to be subject to limitation unless an exception to the general rules of Tax Code sections 382 and 383 applies.
 
 
a.
General Section 382 Annual Limitation
 
In general, the amount of the annual limitation to which a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” would be subject is equal to the product of (i) the fair market value of the stock of the corporation immediately before the “ownership change” (with certain adjustments) multiplied by (ii) the “long-term tax-exempt rate” (which is the highest of the adjusted federal long-term rates in effect for any month in the three-calendar-month period ending with the calendar month in which the “ownership change” occurs; 4.17% for August 2011).  Any unused limitation may be carried forward, thereby increasing the annual limitation in the subsequent taxable year.
 
 
b.
Special Bankruptcy Exceptions
 
An exception to the foregoing annual limitation rules generally applies when so-called “qualified creditors” of a debtor company in chapter 11 receive, in respect of their claims, at least 50% of the vote and value of the stock of the reorganized debtor (or a controlling corporation if also in chapter 11) pursuant to a confirmed chapter 11 plan (the “382(l)(5) Exception”).  Under the 382(l)(5) Exception, a debtor’s pre-change losses are not limited on an annual basis but, instead, are required to be reduced by the amount of any interest deductions claimed during the three taxable years preceding the effective date of the plan of reorganization, and during the part of the taxable year prior to and including the effective date of the plan of reorganization, in respect of all debt converted into stock in the reorganization.  If the 382(l)(5) Exception applies and the TSC Debtors undergo another “ownership change” within two years after consummation of the Plan, then the TSC Debtors’ annual limitation to use their pre-change losses against their future income would be reduced to zero.
 
Where the 382(l)(5) Exception is not applicable (either because the debtor does not qualify for it or the debtor elects not to utilize it a second special rule will generally apply (the “382(l)(6) Exception”).  Under the 382(l)(6) Exception, the limitation will be calculated by reference to the lesser of (i) the value of the debtor corporation’s new stock (with certain adjustments) immediately after the ownership change or (ii) the value of such debtor corporation’s assets (determined without regard to liabilities) immediately before the ownership change.  This differs from the ordinary rule that requires the fair market value of a debtor corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” to be determined before the events giving rise to the change.  The 382(l)(6) Exception also differs from the 382(l)(5) Exception in that under the 382(l)(6) Exception, the debtor corporation is not required to reduce its NOLs by the amount of interest deductions claimed during the current year and three preceding years with respect to the debt converted to equity, and the debtor may undergo a change of ownership within two years without reducing the annual limitation on its NOLs to zero.
 
The TSC Debtors have not yet determined whether the issuance under the Plan of New Common Stock if any, along with the cancellation of existing stock of the TSC Debtors, will cause an ownership change with respect to the TSC Debtors.  Upon an ownership change, if any NOLs remain after any reduction to offset COD income, the TSC Debtors’ pre-change losses would be subject to the section 382 limitation (as described above) if the TSC Debtors elect to apply the 382(l)(6) Exception.  It currently appears that the TSC Debtors should be eligible to qualify for the 382(l)(5) Exception because more than 50 percent of the New Common Stock will be received by former owners of TSC’s Series A and B Preferred Shares as a result of the exchange under the Plan.  The TSC Debtors will consider whether the favorable consequences of the 382(l)(5) Exception (i.e., no limitation on the annual use of pre-Effective Date NOLs) outweigh the adverse consequences (i.e., an inability to use the NOLs if an ownership change occurs during the two years after emergence).
 
 
68

 
 
 
(iii)
Special Considerations in the Application of COD Rules and Reduction of Tax Attributes to Debtors
 
As described above, the TSC Debtors will have NOLs at the time of the Effective Date.  These tax attributes may be available for reduction as part of the COD income exclusion under Tax Code section 108.  A critical issue is the entity that incurred the particular NOLs or capital losses.  The entity that realizes but does not recognize COD income is required to reduce its tax attributes.  However, NOLs or other tax attributes, including capital losses in a sister company, generally cannot be utilized to the extent that the company with COD income has tax attributes that can be reduced–whether NOLs, capital losses, tax credits or basis in its assets or a subsidiary.  It is not anticipated that the TSC Debtors will utilize tax attributes of members of the TSC consolidated group other than the TSC Debtors due to the realization of COD income.
 
 
(iv)
Alternative Minimum Tax
 
In general, an alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) is imposed on a corporation’s alternative minimum taxable income at a 20% rate to the extent that such tax exceeds the corporation’s regular federal income tax.  For purposes of computing taxable income for AMT purposes, certain tax deductions and other beneficial allowances are modified or eliminated.  In particular, even though a corporation otherwise might be able to offset all of its taxable income for regular tax purposes by available NOL carryforwards, only 90% of a corporation’s taxable income from AMT purposes may be offset by available NOL carryforwards (as computed for AMT purposes).
 
In addition, if a corporation undergoes an ownership change within the meaning of Tax Code section 382 and is in a net unrealized built-in loss position (as determined for AMT purposes) on the date of the ownership change, the corporation’s aggregate tax basis in its assets would be adjusted for certain AMT purposes to reflect the fair market value of such assets as of the change date.
 
 
B.
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to the U.S. Holders Under the Plan
 
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan to U.S. Holders and the character, amount and timing of income, gain or loss recognized as a consequence of the Plan and the distributions provided for or by the Plan generally will depend upon, among other things, (i) the manner in which a holder acquired a Claim, (ii) the length of time a Claim has been held, (iii) whether the Claim was acquired at a discount, (iv) whether the holder has taken a bad debt deduction in the current or prior years, (v) whether the holder has previously included accrued but unpaid interest with respect to a Claim, (vi) the holder’s method of tax accounting, (vii) whether the holder will realize foreign currency exchange gain or loss with respect to a Claim and (viii) whether a Claim is an installment obligation for federal income tax purposes.  Therefore, holders of Claims are urged to consult their tax advisors for information that may be relevant to their particular situation and circumstances and the particular tax consequences to such holders as a result thereof.
 
 
(i)
Consequences to U.S. Holders of Allowed Class 4a and 4b Unsecured Claims
 
Except to the extent that a holder of an Allowed Class 4a or 4b Unsecured Claim agrees to a less favorable treatment, each U.S. Holder of an Allowed Class 4a or 4b Unsecured Claim shall receive in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for such Class 4a or 4b Allowed Unsecured Claim, its Pro Rata share (calculated with reference to all Allowed Unsecured Claims in Classes 4a and 4b) of New TSC Notes in an aggregate amount such that each holder of an Allowed Unsecured Claim in Class 4a or 4b receives a 100% recovery on account of such Allowed Unsecured Claim in Class 4a or 4b, including post-petition interest at the federal judgment rate.
 
 
69

 
 
A U.S. Holder should be treated as exchanging its Claims for New TSC Notes received, in a fully taxable exchange.  Though the treatment is uncertain, the U.S. Holder should recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (1) the fair market value of the New TSC Notes received, that is not allocable to accrued interest (not previously included in income) and (2) the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Claims surrendered by the U.S. Holder (other than any tax basis attributable to accrued interest not previously included in income). Such gain or loss should be capital in nature if the Claims were held as capital assets by the U.S. Holder and should be long-term capital gain or loss if the Claims were held for more than one year by the U.S. Holder.  If the U.S. Holder is a non-corporate taxpayer, any such long-term capital gain will be taxed at preferential rates.  The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations, see discussion below.  See “Accrued but Unpaid Interest” below.
 
Depending on the timing and resolution of certain Disputed Claims, each holder of an Allowed Class 4a or 4b Unsecured Claim may receive the New TSC Notes at some time after the Effective Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, holders of Allowed Class 4a or 4b Unsecured Claims will receive the same treatment regardless of whether such Claims are Allowed as of the Effective Date or at some time after the Effective Date.
 
Generally, it is anticipated that a U.S. Holder of an Allowed Class 4a or 4b Unsecured Claim will recognize gain, if any, on the Effective Date on the portion of such Claim satisfied with a New TSC Note, with any loss recognition from the exchange, as well as any additional gain on the balance of its exchanged claim recognized on the ultimate distribution of additional New TSC Notes by the Claims Reserve.
 
A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the New TSC Notes should equal the fair market value as of the applicable deemed distribution date – the Effective Date or distribution by the Claims Reserve.  A U.S. Holder’s holding period for the New TSC Notes should begin on the day following such date.
 
 
(ii)
Consequences to U.S. Holders of Allowed Class 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f, 4g, 4h and 4i Unsecured Claims
 
Except to the extent that a holder of an Allowed Class 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f, 4g, 4h or 4i Unsecured Claim agrees to a less favorable treatment, each U.S. Holder of an Allowed Class 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f, 4g, 4h or 4i Unsecured Claim, to the extent that any holder of an Allowed Unsecured Claim in Class 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f, 4g, 4h or 4i is also the holder of an Allowed Unsecured Claim in Class 4a or 4b arising out of the same agreement, transaction or circumstance, such Claim shall be satisfied in full by TSC or TS Holdings, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Plan; provided, however, that each holder of an Allowed Unsecured Claim in Class 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f, 4g, 4h or 4i that (a) is not also the holder of an Allowed Unsecured Claim in Class 4a or 4b arising out of the same agreement, transaction or circumstance or (b) is the holder of an Allowed Unsecured Claim in Class 4a or 4b, but such Allowed Unsecured Claim in Class 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f, 4g, 4h or 4i is greater in amount than such Allowed Unsecured Claim in Class 4a or 4b, shall, at the option of the applicable TSC Debtors, with the reasonable consent of each of the Designated Holders, receive:  (i)  payment in Cash in full on the first Distribution Date after such Claim becomes due and payable in the ordinary course of business or (ii) its Pro Rata share of the equity of the reorganized entity corresponding to such Allowed Unsecured Claim.
 
If the Cash option is chosen, U.S. Holders should recognize capital gain or loss (which capital gain or loss would be long-term capital gain or loss to the extent that the U.S. Holder has held the debt instrument underlying its Claim for more than one year) in an amount equal to the amount of Cash received over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in its Allowed Unsecured Claim.  To the extent that a portion of the Cash received represents accrued but unpaid interest that the holder has not already taken into income, the holder should recognize ordinary interest income.  See “Accrued but Unpaid Interest” below.
 
If the equity option is chosen, the receipt by a U.S. Holder of equity will be treated as a recapitalization, and therefore a tax-free exchange, under the Tax Code.  A U.S. Holder generally will not recognize gain or loss with respect to the exchange.  Instead, a U.S. Holder should obtain a tax basis in the equity equal to the tax basis of the Allowed Unsecured Claim exchanged therefor.  A U.S. Holder should have a holding period for the equity that includes the holding period for the Allowed Unsecured Claim.
 
 
70

 
 
 
(iii)
Consequences to U.S. Holders of Allowed Classes 7a and 7b Preferred Series A TSC Interests and Preferred Series B TSC Interests
 
Except to the extent that a holder of an Allowed Class 7a or 7b Unsecured Claim agrees to a less favorable treatment, each U.S. Holder of an Allowed Class 6a or 6b Preferred TSC Interest shall receive its Pro Rata share of the New Common Stock.
 
The receipt by a U.S. Holder of Preferred TSC Interests of New Common Stock will be treated as a recapitalization, and therefore a tax-free reorganization, under the Tax Code.  A U.S. Holder generally will not recognize gain or loss with respect to the exchange.  Instead, a U.S. Holder should obtain a tax basis in the New Common Stock equal to the tax basis of the Preferred TSC Interests exchanged therefore.  A U.S. Holder should have a holding period for the New Common Stock that includes the holding period for the Preferred TSC Interests.  To the extent that Cash is received for fractional shares, gain or loss will be recognized based on the difference between the Cash received and the basis allocable to the fractional share.
 
 
(iv)
Consequences to U.S. Holders of Allowed Classes 7c, 7d and 7e Other Preferred TSC Interests and Class 8a Other TSC Equity Interests
 
Pursuant to the Plan, all Other Preferred TSC Interests and Other TSC Equity Interests shall be deemed canceled, and there shall be no distribution to U.S. Holders of Other Preferred TSC Interests and Other TSC Equity Interests.
 
A U.S. Holder of a canceled Equity Interest should be entitled to claim a loss for tax purposes equal to the holder’s adjusted basis in such Equity Interest unless the U.S. Holder previously claimed a loss with respect to such Equity Interests under its regular method of accounting. In general, if the holder held its Other Preferred TSC Interests or Other TSC Equity Interests as a capital asset, the loss will be treated as a loss from the sale or exchange of such capital asset.  The capital loss will be long-term if the Other Preferred TSC Interests or Other TSC Equity Interests were held by the holder for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term.  The use of capital losses may be subject to limitations, as discussed below.
 
 
(v)
Claims Reserve
 
Holders of Disputed Claims will recognize gain or loss in accordance with the treatment of their underlying Claim (as set forth above) when and if such Claim is Allowed.  If the Disputed Claim is denied, such holder will recognize its loss, if any, at such time.
 
The TSC Debtors or Reorganized TSC Debtors currently expect (a) to elect to treat any New TSC Notes allocable to, or retained on account of, Disputed Claims as a qualified settlement fund taxed as a “disputed ownership fund” governed by Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9 and (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, to report consistently with the foregoing for state and local income tax purposes.  As a result, the Claims Reserve would be subject to tax annually on a separate entity basis on any net income earned with respect to the assets in such reserves, including interest on the New TSC Notes, and all distributions from such reserves (which distributions will be net of the related expenses of the reserve) will be treated as received by holders in respect of their Claims as if distributed by the TSC Debtors or Reorganized TSC Debtors.  The Claims Reserve also would be required to recognize and pay tax on any gain on the New TSC Notes.  All parties (including, without limitation, the TSC Debtors, the Reorganized TSC Debtors and the holders of Disputed Claims) will be required to report for tax purposes consistently with the foregoing.  If the Claims Reserve has insufficient assets to pay such taxes, it might be required to sell a portion of the New TSC Notes to pay such taxes and reduce the amount of New TSC Notes.
 
If appropriate, the TSC Debtors or Reorganized TSC Debtors may consider seeking a ruling from the IRS permitting the Claims Reserve to be treated as a trust such that it would not be required to recognize gain or loss on the distribution of the New TSC Notes, although it would be required to pay taxes on its interest income in years prior to making distributions.
 
 
71

 
 
 
(vi)
Ownership and Disposition of New Common Stock
 
Distributions made with respect to New Common Stock received under the Plan generally will be treated as dividends to a U.S. Holder to the extent of current and accumulated earnings and profits of the Reorganized TSC Debtors as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, at the end of the tax year of the distribution.  To the extent that the distributions exceed the current and accumulated earnings and profits of the Reorganized TSC, the excess will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Common Stock and thereafter as capital gain.  Corporate U.S. Holders generally will be entitled to claim the dividends-received deduction with respect to dividends paid on New Common Stock, subject to applicable restrictions, including satisfaction of applicable holding period requirements.
 
Upon the sale or other disposition of New Common Stock received under the Plan, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received upon the sale or other disposition and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Common Stock.  Such capital gain or loss will be long-term if the U.S. Holder’s holding period in respect of such New Common Stock is more than one year.  The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.  See discussion below.
 
 
(vii)
Accrued but Unpaid Interest
 
A portion of the consideration received by participating U.S. Holders may be attributable to accrued but unpaid interest with respect to their Claims.  Such amount should be taxable to the U.S. Holders as ordinary interest income to the extent that the accrued interest has not been previously included in the U.S. Holder’s gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  Conversely, a U.S. Holder generally recognizes a deductible loss to the extent that any accrued interest was previously included in income and is not paid in full.  If the Plan is consummated, the TSC Debtors will allocate for U.S. federal income tax purposes all distributions in respect of any Claim first to the principal amount of such Claim, and thereafter to accrued but unpaid interest, pursuant to the Plan. Certain legislative history indicates that an allocation of consideration between principal and interest provided for in a bankruptcy plan of reorganization is binding for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  However, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge such allocation.  If a distribution with respect to a Claim is allocated entirely to the principal amount of such Claim, a U.S. Holder may be entitled to claim a loss to the extent of any accrued but unpaid interest on the Claim that was previously included in the U.S. Holder’s gross income.  U.S. Holders of Claims should consult their tax advisors regarding the proper allocation of the consideration received by them under the Plan, as well as the character of any loss claimed with respect to accrued but unpaid interest previously included in gross income.
 
 
(viii)
Limitations on Use of Capital Losses
 
U.S. Holders of Claims who recognize capital losses as a result of the distributions under the Plan will be subject to limits on their use of capital losses.  For non-corporate holders, capital losses may be used to offset any capital gains (without regard to holding periods) plus ordinary income to the extent of the lesser of (1) $3,000 ($1,500 for married individuals filing separate returns) or (2) the excess of the capital losses over the capital gains.  Holders, other than corporations, may carry over unused capital losses and apply them to capital gains and a portion of their ordinary income for an unlimited number of years.
 
For corporate holders, losses from the sale or exchange of capital assets may be used only to offset capital gains.  Holders who have more capital losses than can be used in a tax year may be allowed to carry over the excess capital losses for use in succeeding tax years.  Corporate holders may carry over unused capital losses for only the five years following the capital loss year, but they are allowed to carry back unused capital losses to the three years preceding the capital loss year.
 
 
(ix)
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
 
In general, U.S. Holders (other than corporations and other exempt holders) will be subject to information reporting requirements with respect to interest, dividends and other taxable distributions paid in respect of, and the proceeds from a sale, redemption or other disposition of, the New Common Stock.  In addition, such U.S. Holders may be subject to backup withholding on such payments if such U.S. Holder (i) fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number to the payor, (ii) has been notified by the IRS of a failure to report all interest or dividends required to be shown on its U.S. federal income tax returns or (iii) in certain circumstances, fails to comply with applicable certification requirements.
 
 
72

 
 
Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS on a timely basis.  A U.S. Holder should consult its tax advisors regarding the application of information reporting and backup withholding rules in their particular situations, the availability of an exemption therefrom and the procedure for obtaining such an exemption, if applicable.
 
 
C.
General U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders
 
The rules governing U.S. federal income taxation of a Non-U.S. Holder are complex.  Each Non-U.S. Holder should consult with its own tax advisor to determine the effect of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income tax laws, as well as treaties, with regard to its participation in the transactions contemplated by the Plan, and its ownership of Claims, New Common Stock.
 
 
(i)
Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders of Plan
 
 
a.
Tax Consequences of Non-U.S. Holders Under the Plan
 
A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to any New Common Stock and Cash received in the Plan, unless (i) such Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a trade or business in the United States to which income, gain or loss from the exchange is “effectively connected” for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) such Non-U.S. Holder is an individual and is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the exchange and certain other requirements are met.
 
 
b.
Non-U.S. Holders of New Common Stock
 
If a Non-U.S. Holder receives New Common Stock under the Plan, distributions of cash and property that Reorganized TSC Debtors make in respect of New Common Stock will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of its current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles).  Distributions of cash and property that constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding at a 30% rate, unless a reduced rate is prescribed by an applicable income tax treaty.  If the amount of a distribution exceeds the Reorganized TSC Debtors’ current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess first will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of a Non-U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the New Common Stock and thereafter will be treated as gain from the disposition of such New Common Stock, subject to tax as described below in “Sale, Exchange or Disposition of New Common Stock.”
 
In order to obtain a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty, a Non-U.S. Holder will be required to provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN certifying its entitlement to benefits under the treaty.  If a Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax under a treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS.  Each Non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding its possible entitlement to benefits under a treaty.
 
The U.S. federal withholding tax described above will not apply to dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder if such dividends represent U.S. trade or business income for the Non-U.S. Holder and the Non-U.S. Holder provides a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the U.S. because the dividends are otherwise subject to tax in the U.S. as part of their trade or business income.
 
 
73

 
 
 
c.
Effectively Connected Income and Loss
 
If a Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a trade or business in the U.S. and if dividends received in respect of New Common Stock, or gain or loss realized on the disposition of New Common Stock are “effectively connected” with the conduct of such U.S. trade or business, any such dividends, gain or loss realized by the Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to full net-basis U.S. federal income tax in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. Holder, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise.  In addition, if the Non-U.S. Holder is a foreign corporation, the Non-U.S. Holder may also be subject to a “branch profits tax” on earnings and profits effectively connected with such U.S. trade or business (subject to certain adjustments) at a rate of 30%, unless the branch profits tax is reduced or eliminated by an applicable income tax treaty.  Even though any such effectively connected income would be subject to income tax, and might also be subject to branch profits tax, it would not be subject to withholding tax if the Non-U.S. Holder satisfied the applicable certification requirements described above.  Non-U.S. Holders should discuss the applicability of the “effectively connected” rules with their tax advisors.

Sale, Exchange or Disposition of New Common Stock
 
Subject to the discussion below concerning backup withholding, if a Non-U.S. Holder owns New Common Stock, the Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to any gain or loss realized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of such New Common Stock, unless:
 
 
·
the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition, and certain other conditions are met or
 
 
·
such gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States.
 
 
(ii)
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding for Non-U.S. Holders
 
Unless certain exceptions apply, the TSC Debtors must report annually to the IRS and to each Non-U.S. Holder any interest paid during the taxable year, as well as the amount of any dividends paid to the Non-U.S. Holder (whether such dividend income is subject to U.S. withholding tax or is exempt from such tax pursuant to an income tax treaty).  Copies of these information returns may also be made available under the provisions of a specific treaty or other agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which a Non-U.S. Holder resides.
 
Under current U.S. federal income tax law, backup withholding tax will not apply to payments of dividends by the TSC Debtors or its paying agent if the Non-U.S. Holder provides a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form), or otherwise establishes its eligibility for an exemption, provided that the TSC Debtors or their paying agent, as the case may be, do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the payee Non-U.S. Holder is a U.S. person.
 
Withholding and backup withholding are not additional taxes.  Any amounts withheld from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder under the withholding or backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the holder to a refund, provided that the holder furnishes the required information to the IRS.  A Non-U.S. Holder should consult its tax advisor regarding the application of information reporting, withholding and backup withholding in such holder’s particular situation, the availability of an exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining such an exemption, if available.
 
 
D.
Importance of Obtaining Professional Tax Assistance
 
THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION IS INTENDED ONLY AS A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL TAX PLANNING WITH A TAX PROFESSIONAL. THE ABOVE DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE.  THE TAX CONSEQUENCES ARE, IN MANY CASES, UNCERTAIN AND MAY VARY, DEPENDING ON A HOLDER’S PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES. ACCORDINGLY, HOLDERS OF CLAIMS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS ABOUT THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND APPLICABLE FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN.

XIV.
RECOMMENDATION
 
TSC and its TSC Debtor affiliates submit that the Plan is preferable to the alternatives described in this Disclosure Statement because it provides for a larger distribution to the TSC Debtors’ creditors than would otherwise result in liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.  In addition, any alternative other than Confirmation could result in extensive delays and increased administrative expenses, resulting in smaller distributions to holders of Allowed Claims against (and, potentially, Equity Interests, in) the TSC Debtors than those proposed under the Plan.  The TSC Debtors thus believe that approval of the Plan is in the best interests of all stakeholders in the TSC Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases, and accordingly, the TSC Debtors recommend that holders of Claims and Equity Interests entitled to vote on the Plan vote to accept the Plan.

A Claim for Accrued Professional Compensation in respect of which a final fee application has been properly filed and served pursuant to Article II.A.2(a) shall be payable to the extent approved by order of the Bankruptcy Court.  Subject to the Holdback Amount, on the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, to the extent not otherwise paid, all Allowed Claims for Accrued Professional Compensation (including estimated Accrued Professional Compensation through the Effective Date) shall be paid in full in Cash.  To receive payment on the Effective Date for unbilled fees and expenses incurred through the Effective Date, each Professional shall reasonably estimate fees and expenses due for unbilled fees and expenses for periods that will not have been billed as of the Effective Date and shall deliver such estimates to the TSC Debtors and the U.S. Trustee prior to the Effective Date.  If the estimated payment received by such Professional exceeds the actual allowed Accrued Professional Compensation for the estimated period, such excess amount shall be deducted from the Holdback Amount for such Professional, and if the Holdback Amount is insufficient, such Professional shall disgorge the difference.  If the estimated payment received by the Professional is lower than the Accrued Professional Compensation of such Professional, the difference shall be paid promptly to the Professional.
 
On the Effective Date, the Reorganized TSC Debtors shall fund the Holdback Amount Reserve for payment of the Holdback Amount.  Upon final allowance by the Bankruptcy Court of the Accrued Professional Compensation, or entry of an earlier order of the Bankruptcy Court granting the release of the Holdback Amount, such amount, less any excess paid in connection with estimated fees and expenses through the Effective Date, shall be paid promptly and directly to the Professionals.

(c)
Post-Effective Date Fees and Expenses
 
Upon the Effective Date, any requirement that Professionals comply with Bankruptcy Code sections 327 through 331 and 1103 in seeking retention or compensation for services rendered after such date shall terminate, and the Reorganized TSC Debtors may employ and pay any Professional for services rendered or expenses incurred after the Effective Date in the ordinary course of business without any further notice to any party or action (including, without limitation, the need to file a fee application), order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
 
3.             Administrative Claim Bar Date
 
Except as otherwise provided in this Article II.A, requests for payment of Administrative Claims must be filed and served on the Reorganized TSC Debtors pursuant to the procedures specified in the Confirmation Order and the notice of entry of the Confirmation Order no later than 45 days after the Effective Date.  Holders of Administrative Claims that are required to, but do not, file and serve a request for payment of such Administrative Claims by such date shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from asserting such Administrative Claims against the TSC Debtors or Reorganized TSC Debtors or their property, and such Administrative Claims shall be deemed discharged as of the Effective Date.  Objections to such requests, if any, must be filed and served on the Reorganized TSC Debtors and the requesting party no later than 90 days after the Effective Date or such later date as the Bankruptcy Court may approve.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no request for payment of an Administrative Claim need be filed with respect to (i) a DIP Claim or (ii) any other Administrative Claim made an Allowed Administrative Claim by Final Order, including all Administrative Claims expressly made Allowed Administrative Claims under this Plan.
 
B.            DIP Claims
 
On the Effective Date, unless otherwise agreed to by all of the DIP Lenders, the DIP Claims (if any) shall be paid in full in Cash as provided under the DIP Loan Agreement.  Upon payment and satisfaction in full of all Allowed DIP Claims, all Liens and security interests granted to secure such obligations shall be terminated and immediately released, and the DIP Lenders shall execute and deliver to the Reorganized TSC Debtors such instruments of release, satisfaction and/or assignments (in recordable form) as may be reasonably requested by the Reorganized TSC Debtors.  The TSC Debtors anticipate that the DIP Claims will be satisfied in full prior to the Effective Date.
 
C.            U.S. Trustee Fees
 
On the Effective Date, the TSC Debtors shall pay all U.S. Trustee Fees that are due and owing on the Effective Date.
 
D.            Priority Tax Claims
 
Each holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim due and payable on or before the Effective Date shall receive, at the option of the TSC Debtor against which such Allowed Priority Tax Claim is asserted (which option shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Designated Holders), one of the following treatments, in complete satisfaction of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim:  (1) Cash on the Initial Distribution Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim, (2) Cash payable in installment payments over a period of time not to exceed five years after the Petition Date with an aggregate value, as of the Effective Date, equal to the amount of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(9)(C) or (3) such other treatment as may be agreed upon by such holder and the TSC Debtors or otherwise determined upon an order of the Bankruptcy Court.

CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND EQUITY INTERESTS
 
A.            General Rules of Classification
 
(i)           Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1122, set forth below is a designation of Classes of Claims against and Equity Interests in the TSC Debtors.  A Claim or Equity Interest is placed in a particular Class only to the extent that the Claim or Equity Interest falls within the description of that Class and is classified in other Classes to the extent that any portion of the Claim or Equity Interest falls within the description of such other Classes.  A Claim or Equity Interest is also placed in a particular Class for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan only to the extent that such Claim or Equity Interest is an Allowed Claim in that Class and such Claim or Equity Interest has not been paid, released or otherwise settled prior to the Effective Date.
 
(ii)           This Plan constitutes a separate chapter 11 plan of reorganization for each TSC Debtor, each of which shall include the classifications set forth below.  For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a Class contains Allowed Claims or Equity Interests with respect to a particular TSC Debtor, such Class is designated with respect to such TSC Debtor.  To the extent that there are no Allowed Claims or Equity Interests in a Class with respect to a particular TSC Debtor, such Class is deemed to be omitted with respect to such TSC Debtor.

(a)
Classification:  Class 1 consists of Other Priority Claims against each TSC Debtor.  Although all Other Priority Claims have been placed in one Class for the purposes of nomenclature, the Other Priority Claims against each TSC Debtor shall be treated as being in a separate sub-Class for the purpose of receiving distributions under the Plan.
 
 
(b)
Treatment:  Except to the extent that a holder of an Allowed Other Priority Claim (i) has been paid by the applicable TSC Debtor, in whole or in part, prior to the Effective Date or (ii) agrees to a less favorable treatment, each holder of an Allowed Other Priority Claim shall receive from the TSC Debtor that is obligated on such Other Priority Claim, in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for such Other Priority Claim, Cash in the full amount of such Allowed Other Priority Claim.
 
 
(c)
Voting:  Class 1 is Unimpaired and the holders of Other Priority Claims are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1126(f).  Therefore, holders of Other Priority Claims are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

Classification:  Class 2 consists of Other Secured Claims.  Although all Other Secured Claims have been placed in one Class for the purposes of nomenclature, each Other Secured Claim, to the extent secured by a Lien on any property or interest in property of the TSC Debtors different than that securing any other Other Secured Claims, shall be treated as being in a separate sub-Class for the purpose of receiving distributions under the Plan.
 
 
16

 
 
 
(b)
Treatment:  Except to the extent that a holder of an Allowed Other Secured Claim agrees to a less favorable treatment, in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for such Allowed Other Secured Claim, each holder of an Allowed Other Secured Claim shall, at the option of the TSC Debtors (with the reasonable consent of each of the Designated Holders), be paid: (i) in Cash in full on the first Distribution Date after such claim becomes due and payable in the ordinary course of business or (ii) in Cash on such other terms and conditions as may be agreed between the holder of such claim and the TSC Debtors.
 
 
(c)
Voting:  Class 2 is Unimpaired and the holders of Other Secured Claims are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1126(f).  Therefore, holders of Other Secured Claims are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

(c)
Voting: Class 6 is Impaired under the Plan.  However, the TSN Debtors have paid Sprint $2.6 million on account of the Intercompany Funding Claim.   Thus, the amount of the Sprint Settlement Claim is zero, and Class 6 is an empty class, deemed automatically eliminated.  Any such votes cast in Class 6 shall be disregarded.

Except as otherwise provided herein, or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, each of the TSC Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall be deemed rejected as of the Effective Date, unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease:  (1) was assumed or rejected previously by the TSC Debtors; (2) expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms before the Effective Date; (3) is the subject of a motion to assume filed on or before, and pending on, the Effective Date; or (4) is identified on the Assumed Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List.  Each of the TSC Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that has been, or, pursuant to the terms of this Article VI.A, shall be, rejected shall be identified on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List.

Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy related defaults, arising under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time before the effective date of the assumption.  Any Proof of Claim filed with respect to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that has been assumed shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged, without further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

F.            Reservation of Rights
 
Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease on the Assumed Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List or the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List, nor anything contained in the Plan, shall constitute an admission by the TSC Debtors that any such contract or lease is, in fact, an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized TSC Debtor has any liability thereunder.  If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the TSC Debtors or Reorganized TSC Debtors, as applicable, shall have 45 days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.

The Disbursing Agent shall be empowered to:  (a) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments and other documents necessary to perform its duties under the Plan; (b) make all distributions contemplated hereby; (c) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (d) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Disbursing Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to the Plan or as deemed by the Disbursing Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions hereof.
 
2.           Expenses Incurred on or After the Effective Date
 
Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent in carrying out its obligations under this Article VII of the Plan on or after the Effective Date (including taxes) and any reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement claims (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) made by the Disbursing Agent related thereto shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized TSC Debtors in their reasonable discretion.
 
F.            Distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims
 
Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan and except as may be agreed to by the TSC Debtors (in consultation with the Designated Holders) or the Reorganized TSC Debtors, in each case in their sole discretion, and the holder of a Disputed Claim, no partial payments and no partial distributions shall be made with respect to any Disputed Claim until all Disputed Claims held by the holder of such Disputed Claim have become Allowed Claims or have otherwise been resolved by settlement or Final Order.
 
 
31

 
 
G.            Delivery of Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions
 
1.           Delivery of Distributions in General
 
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan and subject to Bankruptcy Rule 9010, distributions to holders of Allowed Claims and Equity Interests shall be made to holders of record as of the Distribution Record Date by the Disbursing Agent: (a) to the signatory set forth on any of the Proofs of Claim filed by such holder or other representative identified therein (or at the last known addresses of such holder if no Proof of Claim is filed or if the TSC Debtors have been notified in writing of a change of address); (b) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Disbursing Agent after the date of any related Proof of Claim; (c) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no Proof of Claim has been filed and the Disbursing Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address; or (d) on any counsel that has appeared in the Chapter 11 Cases on the holder’s behalf.  Distributions under the Plan on account of Allowed Claims and Equity Interests shall not be subject to levy, garnishment, attachment or like legal process, so that each holder of an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest shall have and receive the benefit of the distributions in the manner set forth in the Plan.  None of the TSC Debtors, the Reorganized TSC Debtors or the applicable Disbursing Agent shall incur any liability whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan, except for gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud.
 
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, all distributions to holders of Bridge Loan Claims shall be governed by the Bridge Loan Agreement and shall be deemed completed when made to the Bridge Loan Agent, who shall, in turn, make distributions in accordance with the Bridge Loan Agreement.
 
2.           Undeliverable Distributions and Unclaimed Property
 
In the event that any distribution to any holder is returned as undeliverable, no distribution to such holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent has determined the then-current address of such holder, at which time such distribution shall be made as soon as practicable after such distribution has become deliverable or has been claimed to such holder without interest; provided, however, that such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under Bankruptcy Code section 347(b) and forfeited at the expiration of six months from the applicable Distribution Date.  After such date, all “unclaimed property” or interests in property shall revert to the Reorganized TSC Debtors (notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned or unclaimed property laws to the contrary), and the Claim of any holder to such property or Equity Interest in property shall be discharged and forever barred.
 
H.           Hart-Scott-Rodino Compliance
 
Any shares of New Common Stock to be distributed under the Plan to any Entity required to file a Premerger Notification and Report Form under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, or to meet any similar requirements under applicable non-U.S. law, shall not be distributed until the notification and waiting periods applicable under such law to such entity shall have expired or been terminated.
 
I.            Withholding and Reporting Requirements
 
In connection with the Plan and all instruments issued in connection therewith, the Disbursing Agent and the Reorganized TSC Debtors shall comply with all applicable withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state or local taxing authority and all distributions under the Plan shall be subject to any such withholding or reporting requirements.
 
 
32

 
 
J.             Setoffs
 
The TSC Debtors and the Reorganized TSC Debtors may withhold (but not set off except as set forth below) from the distributions called for under the Plan on account of any Allowed Claim an amount equal to any claims, equity interests, rights and Causes of Action of any nature that the TSC Debtors or the Reorganized TSC Debtors may hold against the holder of any such Allowed Claim.  In the event that any such claims, equity interests, rights and Causes of Action of any nature that the TSC Debtors or the Reorganized TSC Debtors may hold against the holder of any such Allowed Claim are adjudicated by Final Order or otherwise resolved, the TSC Debtors may, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 553 or applicable non-bankruptcy law, set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant hereto on account of such Allowed Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Allowed Claim) the amount of any adjudicated or resolved claims, equity interests, rights and Causes of Action of any nature that the TSC Debtors or the Reorganized TSC Debtors may hold against the holder of any such Allowed Claim, but only to the extent of such adjudicated or resolved amount.  Neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim under the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by the TSC Debtors or the Reorganized TSC Debtors of any such claims, equity interests, rights and Causes of Action that the TSC Debtors or the Reorganized TSC Debtors may possess against any such holder, except as specifically provided herein.
 
K.           Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties
 
1.           Claims or Equity Interests Paid by Third Parties
 
The TSC Debtors or the Reorganized TSC Debtors, as applicable, shall reduce in part or in full a Claim or Equity Interest to the extent that the holder of such Claim or Equity Interest receives payment in part or in full on account of such Claim or Equity Interest from a party that is not a TSC Debtor or Reorganized TSC Debtor.  To the extent a holder of a Claim or Equity Interest receives a distribution on account of such Claim or Equity Interest and receives payment from a party that is not a TSC Debtor or a Reorganized TSC Debtor on account of such Claim or Equity Interest, such holder shall, within two weeks of receipt thereof, repay or return the distribution to the applicable Reorganized TSC Debtor, to the extent the holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim or Equity Interest from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim or Equity Interest as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan.  The failure of such holder to timely repay or return such distribution shall result in such holder owing the applicable Reorganized TSC Debtor annualized interest at the rate of 5.00% on such amount owed for each Business Day after the two-week grace period specified above until the amount is repaid.
 
2.           Claims Payable by Third Parties
 
No distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of an Allowed Claim that is payable pursuant to any of the TSC Debtors’ Insurance Policies until the holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such Insurance Policies.  To the extent that one or more of the TSC Debtors’ insurers agrees to satisfy in full or in part a Claim (if and to the extent adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction), then immediately upon such insurers’ agreement, the applicable portion of such Claim may be expunged without a Claim objection having to be filed and without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
 
3.           Applicability of Insurance Policies
 
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, distributions to holders of Allowed Claims shall be in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Insurance Policy.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the TSC Debtors or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including insurers under any policies of insurance, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be deemed a waiver by such insurers of any defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such insurers.
 
L.            Post-petition Interest
 
Unless expressly provided in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, the DIP Financing Order or any contract, instrument, release, settlement or other agreement entered into in connection with the Plan or required by the Bankruptcy Code (including without limitation Bankruptcy Code sections 506(b) and 1129(b)), post-petition interest shall not accrue on or after the Petition Date on account of any Claim.
 
 
33

 
 
M.           Section 506(c) Reservation
 
The TSC Debtors and the Reorganized TSC Debtors reserve all rights under Bankruptcy Code section 506(c) with respect to any and all Secured Claims, except to the extent waived pursuant to the DIP Financing Order.
 
N.            Single Satisfaction of Claims
 
Holders of Allowed Claims may assert such Claims against each TSC Debtor obligated with respect to such Claim and such Claims shall be entitled to share in the recovery provided for the applicable Class of Claims against each obligated TSC Debtor based upon the full amount of the Allowed Claim.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall the aggregate value of all property received or retained under the Plan on account of Allowed Claims exceed 100% of the underlying Allowed Claim.
 
ARTICLE VIII.
 
PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CONTINGENT,
UNLIQUIDATED AND DISPUTED CLAIMS
 
A.           Prosecution of Objections to Claims
 
The TSC Debtors (in consultation with the Designated Holders) or the Reorganized TSC Debtors, as applicable, shall have the exclusive authority to file, settle, compromise, withdraw or litigate to judgment any objections to Claims as permitted under the Plan; provided, however, that the filing, settlement, compromise, withdrawal or litigation to judgment of any objections to Claims after the Confirmation Date but before the Effective Date shall require the consent of the Requisite Designated Holders; provided, further, however, that if the Designated Holders (or any one Designated Holder) are providing at least 75% of the Exit Facility, the consent of the Designated Holders that are providing such portion of the Exit Facility shall also be required.  From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized TSC Debtors may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.  The TSC Debtors reserve all rights to resolve any Disputed Claim outside the Bankruptcy Court under applicable governing law.
 
B.           Allowance of Claims
 
Except as expressly provided herein or in any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases before the Effective Date (including the Confirmation Order), the Reorganized TSC Debtors after the Effective Date will have and retain any and all rights and defenses held by the TSC Debtors with respect to any Claim as of the Petition Date.  All Claims of any Entity against any TSC Debtor shall be Disallowed unless and until such Entity pays, in full, the amount it owes each such TSC Debtor.
 
C.           Claims Reserve
 
On the Effective Date (or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable), the Reorganized TSC Debtors shall deposit in the Claims Reserve New TSC Notes in an amount equal to the Aggregate Effective Date Amount.
 
D.           Distributions After Allowance
 
On the Distribution Date following the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order, the Disbursing Agent shall provide to the holder of such Claim the distribution (if any) to which such holder is entitled in accordance with Article VII of the Plan, with interest from the Effective Date only to be paid on account of such Claim (unless otherwise specified by the Plan).  For the avoidance of doubt, holders of Allowed Claims will receive the same treatment regardless of whether such Claims are Allowed as of the Effective Date or at some time after the Effective Date.
 
 
34

 
 
E.            Distribution of Excess Amounts in the Disputed Claims Reserve
 
Any New TSC Notes held in the Claims Reserve after all Disputed Unsecured Claims have become Allowed Claims or been Disallowed shall be cancelled and the accrued interest thereon shall be remitted to the Reorganized TSC Debtors for their own account.
 
F.            Property Held in the Disputed Claims Reserve
 
To the extent the New TSC Notes are distributed to holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims, each holder of (i) a Disputed Unsecured Claim that ultimately becomes an Allowed Unsecured Claim and (ii) with respect to amounts in addition to the distribution made on the Initial Distribution Date, any other Allowed Unsecured Claim will have recourse only to the undistributed New TSC Notes held in the Claims Reserve for satisfaction of the distributions to which holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims are entitled under the Plan.  No holder of any Unsecured Claim shall have recourse against any Reorganized TSC Debtor, their property or any assets previously distributed on account of any such Unsecured Claim.
 
G.            Estimation of Claims
 
The TSC Debtors (before the Effective Date) or Reorganized TSC Debtors (on or after the Effective Date) may, at any time, and from time to time, request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 502(c) regardless of whether an objection was previously filed with the Bankruptcy Court with respect to such Claim, or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time including, without limitation, during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim and during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection.  In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any Disputed Claim, that estimated amount will constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim against any party or Entity, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court.  If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on such Claim, the TSC Debtors (before the Effective Date) or the Reorganized TSC Debtors (after the Effective Date), may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim.  All of the objection, estimation, settlement and resolution procedures set forth in the Plan are cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of one another.  Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, objected to, settled, withdrawn or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
 
H.            Deadline to File Objections to Claims
 
Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, any objections to Claims shall be filed on or before the date that is the later of (a) 180 days after the Effective Date and (b) the last day of such other period of limitation as may be specifically fixed by an order of the Bankruptcy Court for objecting to certain Claims.
 
ARTICLE IX.
 
SETTLEMENT, RELEASE, INJUNCTION AND RELATED PROVISIONS
 
A.           Releases by the TSC Debtors
 
Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1123(b), and except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or the Plan Supplement, for good and valuable consideration, including the contributions of the Released Parties to facilitate the expeditious reorganization of the TSC Debtors and the implementation of the restructuring contemplated by the Plan and the other contracts, instruments, releases, agreements or documents executed and delivered in connection with the Plan, each Released Party, solely in its capacity as a Released Party, is deemed released and discharged by the TSC Debtors, the Reorganized TSC Debtors, the Estates and their Affiliates from any and all claims, obligations, rights, suits, damages, Causes of Action, remedies and liabilities whatsoever, including any derivative claims, asserted or assertable on behalf of the TSC Debtors, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, existing or hereinafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that the TSC Debtors, the Reorganized TSC Debtors, the Estates or their Affiliates would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of the holder of any Claim or Equity Interest or other Entity, based in whole or in part on any act, omission, transaction, event or other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date in any way relating to the TSC Debtors, the Chapter 11 Cases, this Plan or the Disclosure Statement, or related agreements, instruments or other documents, other than Claims or liabilities arising out of or relating to any act or omission of a Released Party that constitutes gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct.
 
 
35

 
 
B.            Releases by Holders of Claims and Equity Interests
 
As of the Effective Date, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, as such law may be extended or interpreted subsequent to the Effective Date,4 for good and valuable consideration, including the contributions of the Released Parties to facilitate the expeditious reorganization of the TSC Debtors and the implementation of the restructuring contemplated by the Plan and the other contracts, instruments, releases, agreements or documents executed and delivered in connection with the Plan, each holder of a Claim or an Equity Interest who does not opt out of the release provisions in the Plan on their ballot shall be deemed to have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably and forever, released and discharged the TSC Debtors, the Reorganized TSC Debtors and the Released Parties from any and all Claims, Equity Interests, obligations, rights, suits, damages, causes of action, remedies and liabilities whatsoever, including any derivative Claims, asserted on behalf of a TSC Debtor, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that such Entity would have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively), based in whole or in part on any act, omission, transaction, event or other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date in any way relating to the TSC Debtors, the Chapter 11 Cases, this Plan or the Disclosure Statement or related agreements, instruments or other documents, other than Claims or liabilities arising out of or relating to any act or omission of a Released Party that constitutes gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct; provided, that nothing herein shall be deemed a waiver or release of a Releasing Party’s right to receive a distribution pursuant to the terms of this Plan.
 
For the avoidance of doubt, if a party who is entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan fails to return its ballot, such party shall be deemed not to have opted out of the release provisions in the Plan.  Any party who is not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan shall be deemed to have opted out of the release provisions in this Plan.
 
C.            Exculpation
 
Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or Plan Supplement, no Exculpated Party shall have or incur, and each Exculpated Party is hereby released and exculpated from, any Exculpated Claim, obligation, cause of action or liability for any Exculpated Claim, except any such claim arising out of or relating to any act or omission of an Exculpated Party that constitutes gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, but in all respects such Entities shall be entitled to reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities pursuant to the Plan.  The TSC Debtors and the Reorganized TSC Debtors (and each of their respective Affiliates, agents, directors, officers, employees, advisors and attorneys) have, and upon Confirmation of the Plan shall be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to the solicitation and distribution of the New Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, and, therefore, are not, and on account of such distributions shall not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or such distributions made pursuant to the Plan.
                                                            
4
The failure by the Bankruptcy Court to approve these releases shall not render the Plan unconfirmable or otherwise affect the distributions to be made pursuant thereto.
 
 
36

 
 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in the foregoing “Exculpation” shall (1) release any Person or Entity from any liability resulting from any act or omission constituting fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, criminal conduct, malpractice, misuse of confidential information that causes damages or ultra vires act as determined by a Final Order or (2) limit the liability of the professionals of the Exculpated Parties to their respective clients pursuant to N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. tit. 22 § 1200.8 Rule 1.8(h)(1) (2009) or other applicable rules of professional conduct.
 
D.            Discharge of Claims and Termination of Equity Interests
 
Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1141(d), and except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, the distributions, rights and treatment that are provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan shall be in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge, effective as of the Effective Date, of all Claims, Equity Interests and causes of action of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on Claims or Equity Interests from and after the Petition Date, whether known or unknown, against, liabilities of, Liens on, obligations of, rights against and Equity Interests in, the TSC Debtors or any of their assets or properties, regardless of whether any property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims and Equity Interests, including demands, liabilities and causes of action that arose before the Effective Date, liability (including withdrawal liability) to the extent such Claims or Equity Interests relate to services performed by employees of the TSC Debtors before the Effective Date and arise from a termination of employment, any contingent or non-contingent liability on account of representations or warranties issued on or before the Effective Date and all debts of the kind specified in Bankruptcy Code section 502(g), 502(h) or 502(i), in each case whether or not:  (1) a Proof of Claim or Equity Interest based upon such Claim, debt, right or Equity Interest is filed or deemed filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 501; (2) a Claim or Equity Interest based upon such Claim, debt, right or Equity Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 502; or (3) the holder of such Claim or Equity Interest has accepted the Plan.  Except as otherwise provided herein, any default by the TSC Debtors or their Affiliates with respect to any Claim or Equity Interest that existed before or on account of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases shall be deemed cured on the Effective Date.  The Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims and Equity Interests subject to the Effective Date occurring, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan.

Consistent with Bankruptcy Code section 525 and the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, all Entities, including governmental units (as defined in Bankruptcy Code section 101(27)), shall not discriminate against the Reorganized TSC Debtors or deny, revoke, suspend or refuse to renew a license, permit, charter, franchise or other similar grant to, condition such a grant to, or discriminate with respect to such a grant against the Reorganized TSC Debtors or another Entity with which such Reorganized TSC Debtors have been associated, solely because one of the TSC Debtors has been a debtor under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, has been insolvent before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (or during the Chapter 11 Cases but before the TSC Debtor is granted or denied a discharge) or has not paid a debt that is dischargeable in the Chapter 11 Cases.

15.           The TSC Debtors are not required to mail Solicitation Packages or other solicitation materials to: (a) holders of Claims that have already been paid in full during these chapter 11 cases or that are authorized to be paid in full in the ordinary course of business pursuant to an order previously entered by this Court or (b) any party to whom the Disclosure Statement Hearing Notice was sent but returned as undeliverable.  Failure to mail Solicitation Packages or other solicitation materials to those entities described in (a) and (b) in this paragraph 15 will not constitute inadequate notice of the Confirmation Hearing and the Voting Deadline.
16.           Publication of the Confirmation Hearing Notice (in a format modified for publication) within seven business days after the Solicitation Deadline in the national edition of the Washington Post and USA Today comports with Bankruptcy Rule 2002 and constitutes sufficient notice to all unknown creditors and parties in interest consistent with principles of due process and is hereby approved.

18.          The TSC Debtors are authorized to solicit, receive and tabulate votes to accept the Plan in accordance with the Solicitation and Voting Procedures set forth herein, which are hereby approved in their entirety; provided, however, that the TSC Debtors reserve the right to amend or supplement the Solicitation and Voting Procedures where, in the TSC Debtors’ best judgment, doing so would better facilitate the solicitation process.
 
(i)
Procedures to Tabulate All Ballots and Master Preferred Stock Ballots:
 
 
(a)
Except in the TSC Debtors’ sole discretion, or as otherwise expressly set forth herein or by a final order of the Court, each and every Ballot, Preferred Stock Ballot or Master Preferred Stock Ballot that is not timely submitted and actually received by the Claims Agent on or before the Voting Deadline shall not be counted.
 
 
(b)
The Claims Agent shall date and time-stamp all Ballots and Master Preferred Stock Ballots when received.  The Claims Agent shall retain originals and copies of all Ballots and Master Preferred Stock Ballots for a period of one year after the effective date of the Plan, unless otherwise ordered by the Court.
                                                              
4 The Voting Record Date is established for voting purposes only and shall have no impact with respect to who is entitled to receive distributions under the Plan.
 
 
7

 
 
 
(c)
Each party permitted to submit a Ballot or Master Preferred Stock Ballot shall submit an originally executed version of such Ballot or Master Preferred Stock Ballot in paper form to the Claims Agent.  Submission of a Ballot or Master Preferred Stock Ballot by facsimile, email or any other electronic means shall not be valid and the TSC Debtors shall decline to count such Ballot or Master Preferred Stock Ballot in tabulating votes to accept or reject the Plan.
 
 
(d)
The TSC Debtors shall file a report of all votes received (a “Voting Report”) with the Court no later than seven calendar days before the Confirmation Hearing.  The Voting Report shall, among other things, delineate every irregular Ballot and Master Preferred Stock Ballot including, without limitation, those Ballots and Master Preferred Stock Ballots that are late or (in whole or in material part as determined by the Claims Agent) illegible, unidentifiable, lacking signatures or lacking necessary information, received via facsimile or electronic mail or damaged.  The Voting Report shall indicate the TSC Debtors’ intentions with regard to such irregular Ballots and Master Preferred Stock Ballots.
 
 
(e)
The method of delivery of Ballots and Master Preferred Stock Ballots to the Claims Agent is at the election and risk of each holder of a Claim or Equity Interest.  Except as otherwise provided herein, such delivery will be deemed made only when the Claims Agent actually receives the originally executed Ballot or Master Preferred Stock Ballot.
 
 
(f)
No Ballot, Preferred Stock Ballot or Master Preferred Stock Ballot shall be sent to any of the TSC Debtors, the TSC Debtors’ agents (other than the Claims Agent) or the TSC Debtors’ financial or legal advisors and if so sent shall not be counted and debt instruments or securities should not be sent with any Ballots, Preferred Stock Ballots or Master Preferred Stock Ballots.
 
 
(g)
Except in the TSC Debtors’ sole discretion, if multiple Ballots, Preferred Stock Ballots or Master Preferred Stock Ballots are received from the same holder of a Claim or Equity Interest with respect to the same Claim or Equity Interest before the Voting Deadline, the last valid Ballot, Preferred Stock Ballot or Master Preferred Stock Ballot timely received will supersede and revoke in its entirety any previously received Ballot, Preferred Stock Ballot or Master Preferred Stock Ballot.
 
 
(h)
Except in the TSC Debtors’ sole discretion, if Ballots, Preferred Stock Ballots or Master Preferred Stock Ballots are received from a holder of a Claim or Equity Interest and the holder’s attorney or legal representative with respect to the same Claim or Equity Interest before the Voting Deadline, the last valid Ballot, Preferred Stock Ballot or Master Preferred Stock Ballot timely received will supersede and revoke in its entirety any previously received Ballot, Preferred Stock Ballot or Master Preferred Stock Ballot.
 
 
(i)
Holders must vote all of their Claims or Equity Interests within a particular Class either to accept or reject the Plan and may not split any such votes.  A Ballot, Preferred Stock Ballot or Master Preferred Stock Ballot that includes an individual Claim or Equity Interest, the amount of which partially rejects and partially accepts an individual Plan, shall not be counted. Further, if a holder has multiple Claims or Equity Interests within the same Class, the TSC Debtors may, in their discretion, aggregate the Claims or Equity Interests of any particular holder within a Class for the purpose of counting votes.
 
 
8

 
 
 
(j)
A person signing a Ballot or Preferred Stock Ballot in its capacity as a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney in fact, officer of a corporation or otherwise acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity must indicate such capacity when signing and, if required or requested by the applicable nominee or its agent, the Claims Agent, the TSC Debtors or the Court, must submit proper evidence to the requesting party to so act on behalf of such holder or beneficial holder.
 
 
(k)
The TSC Debtors, in their sole discretion, subject to contrary order of the Court, may waive any defects or irregularities as to any particular Ballot, Preferred Stock Ballot or Master Preferred Stock Ballot at any time, either before or after the close of voting, and any such waivers shall be documented in the Voting Report.
 
 
(l)
Neither the TSC Debtors, nor any other party (at the direction of counsel of the TSC Debtors), shall be required to provide notification of defects or irregularities with respect to delivered Ballots, Preferred Stock Ballots or Master Preferred Stock Ballots other than as provided in the Voting Report (although such parties are authorized to provide such notification), nor will any such party incur any liability for failure to provide such notification.
 
 
(m)
Unless waived by the TSC Debtors in their sole discretion and subject to contrary order of the Court, any defects or irregularities in connection with the delivery of a Ballot, Preferred Stock Ballot or Master Preferred Stock Ballot must be cured before the Voting Deadline or such Ballots, Preferred Stock Ballots or Master Preferred Stock Ballots will not be counted in voting to accept or reject the Plan.
 
 
(n)
The Voting Deadline may be extended by (i) agreement between the holder of a Claim or Equity Interest entitled to vote and the TSC Debtors, in their sole discretion or (ii) order of the Court.
 
 
(o)
A Ballot, Preferred Stock Ballot or Master Preferred Stock Ballot shall not be counted in determining the acceptance or rejection of the Plan if it:  (a) is illegible or contains insufficient information to permit the identification of the holder of the Claim or Equity Interest; (b) is submitted by a party that does not hold a Claim or Equity Interest in a Class that is entitled to vote on the Plan; (c) is submitted by a holder of a Claim listed in the Schedules as contingent, unliquidated or disputed, or any combination thereof, or in a zero or unknown amount, for which the applicable bar date has passed and no Proof of Claim was timely filed; (d) is unsigned or submitted without an original signature; (e) is not clearly marked to accept or reject the Plan or marked both to accept and reject the Plan; (f) is submitted by a holder of a Claim whose Claim is the subject of an objection that was filed on or before the Voting Record Date, except to the extent such Claim is undisputed, and which was not allowed (temporarily or otherwise) pursuant to a Resolution Event; or (g) is submitted by any entity not entitled to vote pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules or the procedures described herein.
 
 
9

 
 
 
(p)
Consistent with the language set forth in the Plan, to the extent that there are no Allowed Claims or Equity Interests in a Class with respect to a particular TSC Debtor (because all such claims have been resolved and satisfied in full or for any other reason), and such Class does not contain any Claim that has been temporarily allowed or estimated for voting purposes or whose holder by order of the Court is entitled to vote such Claim, such Class is deemed to be automatically eliminated with respect to such TSC Debtor and such Class shall be disregarded for all purposes.
 
 
(ii)
Procedures to Tabulate Votes Submitted to the Beneficial Holders of Equity Interests:
 
 
(a)
No later than three weeks before the Voting Deadline, the Claims Agent shall distribute or cause to be distributed the appropriate number of copies of Master Preferred Stock Ballots to each Nominee identified by the Claims Agent as a party through which beneficial holders hold equity interests in TSC.
 
 
(b)
Any Nominee that is a holder of record with respect to such equity interests shall vote on behalf of beneficial holders of such equity interests by:  (a) distributing the Solicitation Package, including Preferred Stock Ballots, it receives from the Claims Agent to all such beneficial holders within five business days of receipt of such materials; (b) promptly collecting Preferred Stock Ballots from such beneficial holders that cast votes on the Plan; (c) compiling and validating the votes and other relevant information of all such beneficial holders on the Master Preferred Stock Ballot; and (d) transmitting the Master Preferred Stock Ballot to the Claims Agent by the Voting Deadline.
 
 
(c)
Any beneficial holder holding equity interests as a record holder in its own name shall vote on each of the applicable Plans by completing and signing a Preferred Stock Ballot and returning it directly to the Claims Agent on or before the Voting Deadline.
 
 
(d)
Any beneficial holder holding equity interests in “street name” through a Nominee (i.e., a brokerage firm, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee (or an agent thereof) or agent) must vote on the Plan through such Nominee by completing and signing the Preferred Stock Ballot and returning such Preferred Stock Ballot to the appropriate Nominee as promptly as possible and in sufficient time to allow such Nominee to process the Preferred Stock Ballot and return the Master Preferred Stock Ballot to the Claims Agent before the Voting Deadline.  Any beneficial holder holding equity interests in “street name” that submits a Preferred Stock Ballot to the TSC Debtors, the TSC Debtors’ agents or the TSC Debtors’ financial or legal advisors will not have such Preferred Stock Ballot counted for purposes of accepting or rejecting the Plan.
 
 
(e)
Any Preferred Stock Ballot returned to a Nominee by a beneficial holder shall not be counted for purposes of accepting or rejecting the Plan until such Nominee properly completes and delivers to the Claims Agent a Master Preferred Stock Ballot that reflects the vote of such beneficial holders by the Voting Deadline or otherwise validates the Preferred Stock Ballot in a manner acceptable to the Claims Agent.  Nominees shall retain all Preferred Stock Ballots returned by beneficial holders for a period of one year after the effective date of the Plan.
 
 
10

 
 
 
(f)
If a beneficial holder holds equity interests through more than one Nominee or through multiple accounts, such beneficial holder may receive more than one Preferred Stock Ballot and each such beneficial holder should execute a separate Preferred Stock Ballot for each block of equity interests that it holds through any Nominee and vote in the same manner to accept or reject (cannot split the vote) and must return each such Preferred Stock Ballot to the appropriate Nominee.
 
 
(g)
If a beneficial holder holds a portion of its equity interests through a Nominee or Nominees and another portion in its own name as the record holder, such beneficial holder should follow the procedures described in this subsection to vote the portion held in its own name and to vote the portion held by the Nominee(s).
 
 
(iii)
Establishing Claim Amounts for Voting Purposes:
 
 
(a)
For purposes of tabulating the amount of the Claim associated with each properly received vote, the TSC Debtors, with the assistance of the Claims Agent, shall, for voting purposes only, use the Claim amounts in accordance with the following hierarchy:
 
 
(1)
the Claim amount settled and/or agreed upon by the TSC Debtors as reflected in a pleading, stipulation, agreement or other document filed with the Court, in an order of the Court or in a document executed by the TSC Debtors pursuant to authority granted by the Court;
 
 
(2)
the Claim amount allowed (temporarily or otherwise) pursuant to a Resolution Event;
 
 
(3)
except to the extent a Claim has been paid during the TSC Debtors’ chapter 11 cases pursuant to the terms of a settlement, stipulation, order of the Court or otherwise, the Claim amount contained in a Proof of Claim that has been timely filed by the applicable bar date or determined to be timely filed by an order of the Court, except for any amounts in such Proofs of Claim asserted on account of any interest accrued after the Petition Date; provided, however, that Ballots cast by holders of Claims whose Claims are not listed on the Schedules, but that timely file a Proof of Claim in an unliquidated or unknown amount and whose Claims are not the subject of an objection will count, solely for the purposes of satisfying the dollar amount provisions of Bankruptcy Code section 1126(c), in the amount of $1.00, provided further that with respect to a Proof of Claim that is filed in a partially liquidated amount, such Claim will be counted in the liquidated amount for voting purposes;
 
 
11

 
 
 
(4)
the Claim amount listed in the Schedules to the extent that such Claim (I) is not listed on the Schedules as contingent, disputed or unliquidated or in an unknown or zero amount and (II) has not been paid during the TSC Debtors’ chapter 11 cases pursuant to the terms of a settlement, stipulation, order of the Court or otherwise; provided, however, that if the bar date applicable to a holder of a contingent, unliquidated or disputed Claim has not passed, then the amount of the Claim listed in the Schedules, solely for voting purposes;
 
 
(5)
holders of Claims for which Proofs of Claim have been timely filed, as reflected on the claims register as of the Voting Record Date; provided, however, that such Proofs of Claim have not been withdrawn, expunged or disallowed as of the Voting Record Date; provided, however, that holders of Claims to which an objection is pending as of the Voting Record Date shall receive a Solicitation Package with a Ballot in the amount of $1.00 (or a Ballot reflecting the undisputed portion of the Claim plus $1.00) and shall only be entitled to vote the disputed portion of such Claim in the amount of $1.00 unless such holders become eligible to vote the disputed portion of such Claim through a Resolution Event in accordance with the Solicitation and Voting Procedures; and
 
 
(6)
in the absence of any of the foregoing, zero dollars, in which case the creditor shall not be allowed to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
 
 
(b)
If a party that is entitled to vote has more than one Claim (either scheduled or filed or both) against a TSC Debtor based upon different transactions, said party shall be entitled to one vote per Class for numerosity purposes in the aggregate dollar amount of all of said Claims.
 
 
(c)
The Claim amount established pursuant to this section shall control for voting purposes only, and shall not constitute the allowed amount of any Claim.
 
 
(iv)
Criteria to Tabulate Preferred Stock Ballots and Master Preferred Stock Ballots Cast by Nominees and Beneficial Holders of Equity Interests:
 
 
(a)
Votes cast by beneficial holders through Nominees will be applied to the applicable positions held by such Nominees in Class 8 as of the Voting Record Date, as evidenced by the record and depository listings.  Votes submitted by a Nominee, whether pursuant to a Master Preferred Stock Ballot or prevalidated Preferred Stock Ballot, will not be counted in excess of the amount of such equity interests held by such Nominee as of the Voting Record Date.
 
 
(b)
If conflicting votes or “over-votes” are submitted by a Nominee, whether pursuant to a Master Preferred Stock Ballot or prevalidated Preferred Stock Ballot, the TSC Debtors will use reasonable efforts to reconcile discrepancies with the Nominees.
 
 
(c)
If over-votes on a Master Preferred Stock Ballot or prevalidated Preferred Stock Ballot are not reconciled before the preparation of the Voting Report, the TSC Debtors shall apply the votes to accept and to reject the Plan in the same proportion as the votes to accept and to reject the Plan submitted on the Master Preferred Stock Ballot or prevalidated Preferred Stock Ballot that contained the overvote, but only to the extent of the Nominee’s position in Class 8.
 
 
12

 
 
 
(d)
For purposes of tabulating votes, each Nominee or beneficial holder will be deemed to have voted the aggregate number of its equity interests in Class 8.
 
 
(e)
A single Nominee may complete and deliver to the Claims Agent multiple Master Preferred Stock Ballots.  Votes reflected on multiple Master Preferred Stock Ballots will be counted, except to the extent that they are duplicative of other Master Preferred Stock Ballots.  If two or more Master Preferred Stock Ballots are inconsistent, the latest valid-dated Master Preferred Stock Ballot received prior to the Voting Deadline will, to the extent of such inconsistency, supersede and revoke any prior Master Preferred Stock Ballot.
 
 
(v)
Temporary Allowance of Claims for Voting Purposes
 
 
(a)
The amount of a Claim for voting purposes shall be calculated in accordance with Section C hereof.  The holder of a Disputed Claim may seek to obtain one of the following “Resolution Events” by filing a motion with the Court pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3018(a) (each, a “Rule 3018 Motion”) to have its Claim allowed in a specified amount and/or classification for the purpose of accepting or rejecting the Plan.  In order for the holder of a Disputed Claim to be entitled to vote on the Plan with respect to the disputed portion of its Claim, however, any such Resolution Event must occur no later than five business days before the Voting Deadline:
 
 
(1)
an order entered by the Court, after notice and a hearing, allowing a Disputed Claim in a specified amount;
 
 
(2)
an order entered by the Court temporarily allowing a Disputed Claim in a specified amount for voting purposes only pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3018(a), after notice and a hearing;
 
 
(3)
a stipulation or other agreement executed between the holder of a Disputed Claim and the TSC Debtors resolving the objection and allowing such Disputed Claim in an agreed-upon amount;
 
 
(4)
a stipulation or other agreement executed between the holder of the Disputed Claim and the TSC Debtors temporarily allowing the holder of such Disputed Claim to vote its Claim in an agreed-upon amount; or
 
 
(5)
a voluntary withdrawal by the TSC Debtors of a pending objection to the Disputed Claim.
 
 
(b)
If a Resolution Event occurs, then, no later than two business days thereafter, the Claims Agent shall distribute a Ballot and a pre-addressed, postage pre-paid envelope to the holder of Claim that has been Allowed for voting purposes only, which must be returned to the Claims Agent no later than the Voting Deadline.

RE:
In re TerreStar Corporation, et al., Chapter 11 Case No. 11-10612 (SHL) (Jointly Administered)
 
On October 19, 2010, TerreStar New York Inc., Motient Communications Inc., Motient Holdings Inc., Motient License Inc., Motient Services Inc., Motient Ventures Holding Inc. and MVH Holdings Inc. (collectively, the “Other TSC Debtors”), each filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”).  On February 16, 2011, TerreStar Corporation and TerreStar Holdings Inc. (together, the “February Debtors” and, together with the Other TSC Debtors, the “TSC Debtors”) each filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Court.  On February 23, 2011, the Court entered an order jointly administering the chapter 11 cases of the TSC Debtors.
 
You have received this letter and the enclosed materials because you are entitled to vote on the Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of TerreStar Corporation, Motient Communications Inc., Motient Holdings Inc., Motient License Inc., Motient Services Inc., Motient Ventures Holding Inc., MVH Holdings Inc., TerreStar Holdings Inc. and TerreStar New York Inc. (as may be modified or amended from time to time, the “Plan”) (Docket No. 336) filed by the TSC Debtors.  On [________], the Court entered an order (the “Disclosure Statement Order”) (Docket No. [___]) (a) approving the Second Amended Disclosure Statement for the Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of TerreStar Corporation, Motient Communications Inc., Motient Holdings Inc., Motient License Inc., Motient Services Inc., Motient Ventures Holding Inc., MVH Holdings Inc., TerreStar Holdings Inc. and TerreStar New York Inc. (as may be modified or amended from time to time, the “Disclosure Statement”) (Docket No. 338), (b) fixing the dates and deadlines related to confirmation of the Plan, (c) approving the procedures for soliciting and tabulating the votes on, and for objecting to, the Plan and (d) approving the manner and form of notices and documents relating to the Plan.
 
YOU ARE RECEIVING THIS LETTER BECAUSE YOU ARE ENTITLED TO
VOTE ON THE PLAN.  THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD READ THIS LETTER
CAREFULLY AND DISCUSS IT WITH YOUR ATTORNEY.  IF YOU DO
NOT HAVE AN ATTORNEY, YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT ONE.
 
In addition to this cover letter, the enclosed materials (collectively, the “Solicitation Package”) were approved by the Court for distribution to holders of claims and equity interests in connection with the solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Plan, and consist of the following:
 
 
i.
the Disclosure Statement, as approved by the Court (with all exhibits, including the Plan);
 
 
ii.
the Disclosure Statement Order (only including Exhibit 6 attached thereto);
 
 
iii.
the notice of the hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan; and
 
 
iv.
a ballot or preferred stock ballot, as applicable (together with detailed voting instructions and a postage prepaid return envelope, pre-addressed to the Claims Agent (identified below) or the nominee, as applicable).
 
The board of directors of TerreStar Corporation (on behalf of each of the TSC Debtors) has approved the filing of the Plan and the solicitation of votes to accept the Plan.  The TSC Debtors believe that the acceptance of the Plan is in the best interests of the estates, holders of claims and equity interests, including holders of claims and equity interests that are entitled to vote on the Plan, and all other parties in interest.  Moreover, the TSC Debtors believe that any alternative, other than confirmation of the Plan, could result in extensive delays and increased administrative expenses, which, in turn, would likely result in smaller distributions (or no distributions) on account of claims and equity interests asserted in these chapter 11 cases.
 
 
 

 
 
The hearing at which the Court will consider confirmation of the Plan (the “Confirmation Hearing”) will commence at 10:00 a.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) on March 7, 2012 before the Honorable Sean H. Lane, United States Bankruptcy Judge, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, located at One Bowling Green, New York, New York 10004.

Liquidation Analysis
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS

 
I.            Introduction

Section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code(1) requires that each holder of an impaired Allowed Claim or Equity Interest either (i) accept the Plan or (ii) receive or retain under the Plan property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the value such holder would receive or retain if the TSC Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on the Effective Date of the Plan.  To demonstrate that the Plan satisfies this standard, the TSC Debtors, in consultation with their legal and financial advisors, have prepared the Liquidation Analysis, which (a) estimates the realizable value of the TSC Debtors (the “Liquidating Debtors”) under a hypothetical chapter 7 liquidation (the “Liquidation”) and (b) estimates the distribution to creditors resulting from the Liquidation.

The Liquidation Analysis is based on a number of estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant economic, competitive and operational uncertainties and contingencies.  Further, Allowed Claims against the Liquidating Debtors’ estates could vary materially from the estimates set forth in the Liquidation Analysis.  Accordingly, while the information contained in the Liquidation Analysis is presented with numerical specificity, the TSC Debtors make no assurances that the asset values and Claim amounts presented in the Liquidation Analysis would not vary materially from actual amounts in the event of a chapter 7 liquidation.

Following is a summary of certain assumptions used in the Liquidation Analysis.  The notes to the Liquidation Analysis provide additional assumptions and should be read in conjunction with the Liquidation Analysis.

II.           General Assumptions

The Liquidation Analysis assumes the conversion of the TSC Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases to chapter 7 cases on March 31, 2012 (the “Conversion Date”).  On the Conversion Date, it is assumed that the Bankruptcy Court would appoint a chapter 7 trustee (the “Trustee”) to oversee the Liquidation, which would be completed over a period of six months (the “Liquidation Period”).
 
The Liquidation Analysis includes expenses expected to be incurred during the Liquidation Period, including those related to Trustee fees, receiver fees, legal fees and other professional fees and operating / wind-down expenses.
 
                                                                 
 (1) Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Disclosure Statement or the Plan, as applicable.
 
 

 
 
For purposes of the Liquidation Analysis, it is assumed that any Claims against the Other TSC Debtors are de minimis and will receive no distribution in the Liquidation.  Furthermore, substantially all assets of the TSC Debtors are held at TSC or TS Holdings.  Because the authorization held by TerreStar Global Ltd. is non-transferable (and would be expected to have only a very limited number of potentially interested parties, if any), no value is attributed to the TSC Debtors’ equity interest in TerreStar Global Ltd.  Accordingly, if this Liquidation Analysis were presented on a debtor-by-debtor basis, recoveries to holders of Allowed Claims at any of the TSC Debtors would not materially increase.

Notes to Liquidation Analysis

Note A – Cash and cash equivalents
 
The amount shown for Cash and cash equivalents is an estimate of the TSC Debtors’ Cash as of the Liquidation.  To estimate the TSC Debtors’ Cash as of the Liquidation, the projected book value of Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2012, is adjusted for the following assumptions.  It is assumed that six monthly payments in the amount of $2 million per payment are received on account of the Spectrum Lease during the Liquidation Period.  Additionally, it is assumed that the TSC Debtors do not make any amortization payments toward the Bridge Loan from March 2012 until the date of the Liquidation and cash interest is not paid on the Bridge Loan during the same period.
 
Note B – Due from Affiliated Companies
 
Included in the amount shown for due from affiliated companies at TerreStar Networks Inc. is a note in the amount of $61.3 million.  The TSC Debtors have asserted the Intercompany Funding Claim in the TSN Debtors’ chapter 11 cases on account of the note.  Pursuant to an agreement with Sprint (as more fully described in the Disclosure Statement), TSC’s right to receive distributions under the TSN Plan on account of the Intercompany Funding Claim, up to $2.6 million, shall be automatically assigned to Sprint.  The TSC Debtors will receive any amount recoverable to the Intercompany Funding Claim in excess of $2.6 million.  In addition to the $2.6 million that has been assigned to Sprint, it is currently assumed that the TSC Debtors will recover approximately $1.0 million on account of such claim.  This estimate reflects current assumptions concerning recoveries to unsecured creditors in the TSN Debtors’ chapter 11 cases.  These assumptions are subject to change.  Additionally, the TSC Debtors’ recovery on account of the Intercompany Funding Claim is subject to reduction in the event the Jefferies Stipulations are approved.
 
The balance of the intercompany receivables due from TSN are the result of accounting entries related to certain TSN financings and may not represent valid claims that may be asserted in the TSN Debtors’ chapter 11 cases.
 
Note C – Intangible Assets
 
As described in Exhibit F to the Disclosure Statement, Blackstone performed a discounted cash flow analysis of the cash flows pursuant to the Spectrum Lease to derive a value of the 1.4 Spectrum.  Blackstone determined that the value attributable to the 1.4 Spectrum ranges from $175 - $185 million.  The TSC Debtors applied a 25% - 35% discount to the $180 million midpoint value to reflect the potential inability to realize full value for the assets in a forced sale in Liquidation and the likely chilling effect on any sale process resulting from the existence of certain rights One Dot Four possesses pursuant to the Spectrum Lease.
 
 
4

 
 
Note D – Equity Investments in Affiliates
 
The TSC Debtors possess an 86.5% equity stake in TerreStar Global Ltd., a Bermuda entity established to conduct foreign operations.  TerreStar Global Ltd. holds a license to utilize an orbital slot allocated to the government of Bermuda by the Office of Communications, which functions as the independent regulator and competition authority for the United Kingdom communications industries.  TerreStar Global Ltd. currently conducts no business or operations.  For purposes of the Liquidation Analysis, no value is attributed to the TSC Debtors’ equity interest in TerreStar Global Ltd.
 
Note E - Costs Associated with Liquidation
 
Liquidation and wind-down costs for the orderly disposition of assets are estimated to include occupancy expenses such as rent, utilities, property taxes and building insurance and operating expenses such as telephone, supply, security and maintenance expenses.  Such costs are approximated at $1 million over the Liquidation Period.
 
Trustee fees include those fees associated with the appointment of a chapter 7 trustee in accordance with section 326 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Trustee fees are estimated based on the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and experience in other similar cases and are calculated at 3% of the TSC Debtors’ total liquidation value.
 
Fees for professionals (legal, investment banking, appraisal, brokerage and accounting) to assist the Liquidating Debtors and the Trustee with the Liquidation are assumed to start at approximately $500,000 per month, gradually declining to $250,000 per month during the Liquidation Period.
 
Note F – Unpaid Chapter 11 Professional Fees
 
For purposes of the Liquidation Analysis, it is assumed that approximately $4.4 million of chapter 11 professional fees will be outstanding at the Conversion Date.  It is assumed that a holder of a claim for unpaid chapter 11 professional fees will receive Cash in the amount of such claim.
 
Note G – Priority Tax Claims
 
The amount of Priority Tax Claims asserted against the TSC Debtors is currently estimated to be $0.06 million.  For purposes of the Liquidation Analysis, it is assumed that a holder of a Priority Tax Claim will receive Cash in the amount of such Priority Tax Claim.
 
Note H – Bridge Loan Claims
 
The amount estimated outstanding under the Bridge Loan Agreement as of the liquidation date is approximately $4.7 million.  It is assumed that a holder of an Allowed Bridge Loan Claim will receive Cash in an amount equal to such Bridge Loan Claim.  It is further assumed that the TSC Debtors do not make any amortization payments or cash interest payments on account of the Bridge Loan from March 2012 until the date of the Liquidation.  Interest on the Bridge Loan is assumed to accrue at the default rate from the filing date through the date of Liquidation.

Note I – General Unsecured Claims
 
For purposes of the Liquidation Analysis, the TSC Debtors’ management has assumed that Allowed Unsecured Claims will consist of estimated Allowed Unsecured Claims of $32.5 million, Claims asserted by TSN and 1.4 Holdings against TSC of $1.2 million, and incremental claims of $25.0 million to reflect additional Claims that may be asserted upon conversion of the TSC Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases to chapter 7 cases. (1)

 
 
 
 
                                                              
(1)  The estimated amount of Claims contained herein represents the TSC Debtors’ best estimate of Claims against the TSC Debtors.  The TSC Debtors are continuing to evaluate whether additional claim objections may be appropriate that would reduce the estimated amount of Claims.

Exhibit E
 
Financial Projections
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
A.
Purpose and Objectives

The TSC Debtors(1) prepared the Reorganized TerreStar Corporation Pro Forma Balance Sheet, Projected Income Statement, Projected Balance Sheet, and Projected Cash Flow Statement (collectively, the “Financial Projections”) for the years 2012 through 2018 (the “Projection Period”).  The Financial Projections are based on a number of assumptions made by the TSC Debtors’ management with respect to the future performance of the TSC Debtors’ operations.  The Financial Projections and related assumptions in this Exhibit E are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Although the TSC Debtors’ management has prepared the Financial Projections in good faith and believes the assumptions to be reasonable, it is important to note that the TSC Debtors can provide no assurance that such Financial Projections and assumptions will be realized.  As described in detail in the Disclosure Statement, a variety of risk factors could affect the TSC Debtors’ actual financial results and must be considered.  You are encouraged to read these risk factors in their entirety.  See Article XI of the Disclosure Statement.  The Financial Projections should be reviewed in conjunction with a review of the assumptions set forth in this Exhibit E, including the accompanying qualifications and footnotes.  The actual results and financial condition of the TSC Debtors may differ materially from those presented in the Financial Projections.

The TSC Debtors did not prepare the Financial Projections with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission or guidelines established by the FASB, particularly for reorganization accounting.  The TSC Debtors’ independent accountants have neither examined nor compiled the Financial Projections and accordingly do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to the Financial Projections, assume no responsibility for the Financial Projections and disclaim any association with the Financial Projections.

All dollar amounts in the Financial Projections are US dollars unless otherwise indicated.

 
B.
General Assumptions

 
1.
Methodology

The Financial Projections have been prepared by the TSC Debtors’ management and are based on the TSC Debtors’ operating forecast for 2012-2018.  The Financial Projections assume that the TSC Debtors’ existing Spectrum Lease remains in effect under its current terms as described below.

 
2.
Plan Consummation

The Financial Projections assume that the Plan will be confirmed and consummated by March 31, 2012.

 
3.
New TSC Notes

The Financial Projections assume that existing Unsecured Claims against the TSC Debtors are restructured into New TSC Notes with face amount equivalent to estimated Allowed Claims.  The New TSC Notes are assumed to mature in 7 years.  Interest on the New TSC Notes will be paid in cash at a rate of 6.0% per year.  The TSC Debtors will be required to repay a portion of the New TSC Notes with 30-50% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the New TSC Notes Indenture).
 
                                                                 
(1)             Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Disclosure Statement or the Plan, as applicable.
 
 

 
 
 
4.
The Spectrum Lease

An indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of TerreStar Corporation, 1.4 Holdings, has the right to use 8 MHz of non-contiguous spectrum in the 1.4 GHz band which covers the entire population of the United States.  In September 2009, 1.4 Holdings entered into the Spectrum Lease with One Dot Four, a subsidiary of LightSquared and an affiliate of Harbinger under which One Dot Four is leasing the TSC Debtors’ rights to use the 1.4 GHz terrestrial spectrum.  The Spectrum Lease has an initial term through April 2017, renewable at One Dot Four’s option for two additional terms of ten years each subject to FCC renewal of the FCC licenses.  Under certain conditions, One Dot Four has an option, but not the obligation, to purchase the FCC licenses.  One Dot Four also has a right of first refusal to match an offered price (less credit for certain amounts paid under the agreement) in any potential transfer of the licenses by 1.4 Holdings to a third party.  Per the terms of the agreement, the lease payments are projected at $2.0 million per month during the Projection Period.

5.  Exit Facility

The Plan provides that the TSC Debtors may seek approval for a single draw term loan Exit Facility in an amount of not more than $5.0 million.  Based upon a number of assumptions of the TSC Debtors’ management, including assumptions with respect to the performance of the TSC Debtors’ operations through the Effective Date, the TSC Debtors will require proceeds of approximately $2.0 million from the Exit Facility to repay the Bridge Loan Claims and fund general corporate purposes.  The Financial Projections therefore assume that a $2.0 million Exit Facility will be in place at the Effective Date.  This assumption is subject to change.

 
C.
Projected March 31, 2012 Balance Sheet and Reorganized TerreStar Corporation Pro Forma Balance Sheet

The Projected March 31, 2012 Balance Sheet was developed using the TSC Debtors’ actual January 31, 2011 unaudited balance sheet adjusted to reflect actual results of operations through November 30, 2011 and the TSC Debtors’ management’s projected operating results through March 31, 2012.  On the Effective Date, actual results may materially differ due to a variety of factors, including as a result of the risk factors discussed in Article XI of the Disclosure Statement.  Adjustments were made to the Reorganized TerreStar Corporation Pro Forma Balance Sheet to give effect to the consummation of the Plan.  Adjustments to the reorganized equity value will be based upon the fair value of the assets and liabilities as of the Effective Date.

As described more fully below, the Reorganized TerreStar Corporation Pro Forma Balance Sheet reflects the Reorganized TerreStar Corporation pro forma capital structure resulting from the consummation of the Plan.  Specifically, and consistent with the assumptions set forth above, the Reorganized TerreStar Corporation Pro Forma Balance Sheet assumes the TSC Debtors will have pro forma funded indebtedness of $34.5 million consisting of the $2.0 million Exit Facility and $32.5 million of New TSC Notes.  As set forth more fully in the Disclosure Statement, the TSC Debtors dispute certain of the Unsecured Claims that might receive New TSC Notes, and the actual amount of the New TSC Notes issued might be significantly lower.  The estimated amount of New TSC Notes includes approximately $1.7 million on account of the Jefferies TSC Claims.  In the event the Jefferies Stipulations are approved, the face amount of the New TSC Notes will therefore be reduced by approximately $1.7 million.

Notes to the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet

 
(1)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The adjustment of $2.9 million reflects the repayment of the Bridge Loan Claims ($4.2 million), Priority Tax Claims ($0.06 million) and Convenience Class Claims ($0.07 million), as well as payment of the transaction fee Blackstone is entitled to collect in accordance with its Court approved retention ($0.5 million) and receipt of $2.0 million in proceeds from the Exit Facility.

 
(2)
Notes Due From TerreStar Networks Inc.

Notes to the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Income Statement

 
(1)
Income Statement for Nine Months Ended December 31, 2012

Amounts shown for the 2012 period reflect Financial Projections for the nine months ended December 31, 2012.

 
(2)
Revenue

The TSC Debtors are expected to generate revenue exclusively from the Spectrum Lease pursuant to the terms of the Spectrum Lease with One Dot Four.  For purposes of the Financial Projections, it is assumed that One Dot Four renews the Spectrum Lease for an additional term beyond the initial term.

 
(3)
Operating Expenses

The Reorganized TSC Debtors’ expenses predominantly relate to staff, insurance, legal, board and reporting costs.  Costs are projected to grow 2.0% annually.
 
 
6

 
 
 
(4)
Interest Expense

Interest expense projections are based on the Reorganized TSC Debtors’ estimated post-emergence capital structure assumed to be effective on March 31, 2012.  The post-emergence debt is comprised of the Exit Facility and New TSC Notes with cash interest coupons of 5.25% and 6.0%, respectively.  The amount of post-emergence debt is subject to change.

 
(5)
Income Taxes

The Financial Projections assume the Reorganized TSC Debtors will qualify for treatment under Section 382(l)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code.  In that case, the Reorganized TSC Debtors would have significant NOLs and therefore would not expect to pay United States federal income taxes in the Projection Period.

For purposes of the Plan, the reorganization value (the “Reorganization Value”) of the TSC Debtors is estimated to range from approximately $175 - $185 million.  The Reorganization Value reflects the going concern value of the Reorganized TSC Debtors after giving effect to the implementation of the Plan and is primarily based upon a discounted cash flow analysis of the payments under the Spectrum Lease as discussed below.

Although Blackstone conducted a review and analysis of the TSC Debtors’ business, operating assets and liabilities and the Reorganized TSC Debtors’ business plan, Blackstone assumed and relied on the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other information furnished to it by the TSC Debtors, as well as publicly available information.

The preparation of a valuation is a complex process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate analyses and factors to consider, as well as the application of those analyses and factors under the particular circumstances.  As a result, the process involved in preparing a valuation is not readily summarized.  The results of the analyses performed by Blackstone are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses.  Blackstone’s estimated Reorganization Value of the TSC Debtors does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of Allowed Claims as to how such person should vote or otherwise act with respect to the Plan.  Blackstone has not been asked to and does not express any view as to what the trading value of the TSC Debtors’ securities would be when issued pursuant to the Plan or the prices at which they may trade in the future.

B.           VALUATION ANALYSIS

Below is a brief summary of the financial analyses performed by Blackstone to arrive at the Reorganization Value.

Historical FCC Spectrum Auctions and Precedent Transactions. The historical FCC spectrum auctions and precedent transaction analyses estimate the value of the 1.4 Spectrum by observing transaction prices / MHz-POP multiples paid by acquirers of comparable assets or businesses and applying those observed transaction multiples to the relevant financial information of the 1.4 Spectrum.  MHz-POP takes a company’s spectrum measured in MHz and multiplies it by the number of people living in the region covered by the spectrum.  Blackstone reviewed a wide range of FCC spectrum auctions and precedent transactions, and evaluated each based on the following characteristics: (i) frequency range in close proximity to the 1.4 Spectrum, (ii) comparable-sized blocks of capacity, (iii) similar intended / permissible uses, (iv) similar geographic coverage, (v) transaction date / similar economic environment, (vi) availability of equipment and (vii) emission and power restrictions.  Blackstone determined historical FCC spectrum auctions and precedent transactions to be less relevant in deriving the Reorganization Value for several reasons, including as a result of (a) the purchase option contained within the Spectrum Lease, the terms of which place a cap on the value of the 1.4 Spectrum attributable to the TSC Debtors(1), (b) certain unique characteristics of the 1.4 Spectrum which render it unique and difficult to compare to other spectrum bands(2) and (c) the broad range of the valuation implied by this analysis ($0.01 - $0.47 / MHz-POP).

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. A DCF analysis relates the value of an asset or business to the present value of expected cash flows to be generated by that asset or business.  A DCF analysis is a “forward looking” valuation methodology that discounts the expected future cash flows by a theoretical or observed discount rate that is a function of the riskiness of the cash flows.  In this case, the primary asset of the TSC Debtors is the equity interest that it will maintain in its non-Debtor subsidiary 1.4 Holdings.  Blackstone believes that the primary value driver for 1.4 Holdings is its income stream under the Spectrum Lease.  Accordingly, Blackstone believes it appropriate to perform a DCF analysis on the Spectrum Lease to arrive at the value of the TSC Debtors.
 
                                                                       
(1) The purchase option contained within the Spectrum Lease is subject to certain conditions and approvals, as described in Articles IV and XI of the Disclosure Statement.
(2) Unique characteristics of the 1.4 Spectrum include (1) technical parameters limiting power transmission, (2) spectrum configuration (i.e., 2 x 1.5 MHz, 2 x 1.5 MHz, 2 MHz) and (3) equipment ecosystem.

Blackstone performed a DCF analysis of the expected cash flows pursuant to the Spectrum Lease to derive a value of the 1.4 Spectrum.  These cash flows were comprised of both monthly lease payments and the purchase option contained within the Spectrum Lease.  Blackstone considered various scenarios regarding potential timing of exercise of the purchase option.  Based on the DCF analysis, Blackstone determined the value of the 1.4 Spectrum to be between $175 - $185 million, or approximately $0.07 / MHz-POP.

Blackstone believes that a DCF analysis of the expected cash flows pursuant to the Spectrum Lease is the most relevant benchmark for valuation purposes for several reasons: (i) lease terms were agreed upon based on arms-length negotiations with One Dot Four, (ii) limited ability of 1.4 Holdings to terminate the Spectrum Lease and (iii) the Spectrum Lease is subject to a purchase option, which places a cap on the value of the 1.4 Spectrum attributable to the TSC Debtors.(3)  As a result, Blackstone determined the Reorganization Value to range from $175 - $185 million, or approximately $0.07 / MHz-POP.
 
 
 
 
 
 
                                                                       
(3) The purchase option provision has the effect of allowing One Dot Four—and not TSC—to benefit from any incremental value of the 1.4 Spectrum.  Blackstone understands that the 1.4 Spectrum was subject to prior transactions that might theoretically provide an implied valuation range for the 1.4 Spectrum, and prior valuation analyses of the 1.4 Spectrum were performed by other third parties, including Jefferies.  However, such transactions and analyses occurred prior to the existence of the Spectrum Lease.  The existence of the Spectrum Lease, as well as additional distinguishing facts and circumstances, render such transactions and analyses irrelevant to a valuation of the 1.4 Spectrum at present.
