Explanation of Responses:
1. TMI Communications Delaware, Limited Partnership ("TMI Delaware") had a contractual right to exchange 5,073,715 shares of common stock of TerreStar Networks, Inc and 1,887,133.89202 shares of common stock of TerreStar Global Ltd. (formerly known as TerreStar Networks Bermuda Ltd.) (collectively, the "TerreStar Shares") for 9,031,213 shares (the "Initial Motient Shares") of common stock of Motient Corporation ("Motient"). On January 5, 2007 those rights to exchange were transferred to BCE Inc. ("BCE"), then the parent of TMI Delaware. On January 15, 2007, BCE gave notice that it would be acquiring the Initial Motient Shares pursuant to those rights to exchange. On March 7, 2008 the parties definitively scheduled a closing for that exchange and BCE agreed to sell 4,500,000 of the Initial Motient Shares. On March 8, 2007, BCE exchanged the TerreStar Shares for the Initial Motient Shares and sold 4,500,000 of those shares.
2. The option to acquire was exercised on January 15, 2007 but the parties did not schedule a closing date until March 7, 2007.
Remarks:
The original Form 3 filed for the shares covered by this Form 4 was filed jointly by BCE Inc. ("BCE"), TMI Communications Inc., 3924505 Canada Inc., TMI Communications and Company, Limited Partnership and TMI Communications Delaware, Limited Partnership ("TMI Delaware"). On January 5, 2007, the rights of TMI Delaware under the option to acquire shares covered by that original Form 3 were transferred directly to BCE in a transaction exempt from liability under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and as a result only BCE continued to have beneficial ownership of those shares. Accordingly, the persons other than BCE Inc. who had jointly filed the original Form 3 are no longer filing parties under this Form 4.
