Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all such property shall be applied by the Indenture Trustee, first, in respect to amounts due to the Indenture Trustee, together with its agents and attorneys, including reasonable fees and expenses and costs and expenses of collection, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees (unless otherwise paid by the Debtors); and, second, pro rata to the record holders of the Senior Notes. As a condition of receiving any distribution as provided herein, each holder of the Senior Notes must surrender any instruments or certificates representing or evidencing such Senior Notes held by each such holder to the Indenture Trustee accompanied by a letter of transmittal substantially in the form set forth in the Plan Supplement. The Indenture Trustee will cancel and destroy each such instrument or certificate, and then promptly certify to the Debtors the destruction of each such instrument or certificate in accordance with the terms of the Senior Note Indenture. Any holder that fails to (a) surrender such instrument or certificate, or (b) execute and deliver an affidavit of loss and/or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and furnish a bond in form, substance, and amount reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee before the first anniversary of the Effective Date will be deemed to have forfeited all rights and Claims and may not participate in any distribution under the Plan in respect of such Claims. Any distribution so forfeited will become the sole and exclusive property of Reorganized Motient. Following distribution by the Indenture Trustee of the Creditor Plan Securities received in accordance with the Plan pursuant to the Senior Note Indenture, and following the cancellation and certification of the destruction of the instruments or certificates as provided above, the Indenture Trustee and its agents will be relieved of, and released from, all obligations associated with the Senior Notes arising under the Senior Note Indenture or under other applicable agreements or law and the Senior Note Indenture will be deemed to be discharged. On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, the Debtors will pay, in cash, the amounts due, pursuant to the Senior Note Indenture, both pre- and post-petition, to the Indenture Trustee, together with its agents and attorneys, including reasonable fees and expenses and costs and expenses of collection, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees. It is anticipated that such fees will be approximately $50,000.00. 6.9. Manner of Payment Under Plan of Reorganization. Except as specifically provided herein, at the option of the Debtors, any Cash payment to be made hereunder may be made by a check or wire transfer or as otherwise required or provided in applicable agreements. 6.10. Fractional Shares and Fractional Warrants. No fractional shares of New Motient Common Stock or fractional Old Motient Equity Warrants. For purposes of distribution, fractional shares of New Motient Common Stock or fractional Old Motient Equity Warrants shall be rounded down to the next whole number or zero, as applicable. Neither the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors nor the Disbursing Agent shall have any obligation to make a distribution that is less than one (1) Old Motient Equity Warrant or one (1) share of New Motient Common Stock. Fractional shares or New Warrants that are not distributed in accordance with the Plan shall be returned to Reorganized Motient and cancelled. 6.11. Exemption from Securities Laws. The issuance of the Plan Securities and the Old Motient Equity Warrants pursuant to the Plan shall be exempt from any securities laws registration requirements to the fullest extent permitted by section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. 6.12. Compromise of Controversies. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the classification, distribution and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of this Plan shall constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all Claims and controversies resolved pursuant to the Plan, including, without limitation, all Claims arising prior to the Commencement Date, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the business or affairs of or transactions with the Debtors. The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court's approval of each of the foregoing compromises or settlements, and all other compromises and settlements provided for in the Plan of Reorganization, and the Bankruptcy Court's findings shall constitute its determination that such compromises and settlements are in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, creditors and other parties in interest, and are fair, equitable and within the range of reasonableness. SECTION 7. PROCEDURES FOR DISPUTED CLAIMS 7.1. Objections to Claims. Other than with respect to Fee Claims and the Rare Medium Claim, only the Reorganized Debtors shall be entitled to object to Claims. Unless otherwise extended by the Court, any objections to such Claims shall be served and filed on or before the later of: (i) one hundred twenty (120) days after the Effective Date; (ii) thirty (30) days after a request for payment or proof of Claim is timely filed and properly served upon the Debtors; or (iii) such other date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court, whether fixed before or after the date specified in clause (i), hereof. Notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, an objection to a Claim shall be deemed properly served on the claimant if the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors effect service in any of the following manners: (a) in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4, as modified and made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7004; (b) to the extent counsel for a claimant is unknown, by first class mail, postage prepaid, on the signatory on the proof of claim or other representative identified in the proof of claim or any attachment thereto; or (c) by first class mail, postage prepaid, on any counsel that has appeared on the claimant's behalf in the Reorganization Cases. 7.2. Payments and Distributions with Respect to Disputed Claims. (a) General. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any portion of a Claim (other than a Fee Claim) is a Disputed Claim, no payment or distribution provided hereunder shall be made on account of such Claim unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. (b) ADR Procedures. Any Claim as to which a proof of claim was timely filed in the Reorganization Cases shall be determined and liquidated in accordance with the ADR Procedures. Any Claim determined and liquidated pursuant to (i) the ADR Procedures, (ii) an Order of the Bankruptcy Court, or (iii) applicable nonbankruptcy law, which determination shall no longer be appealable or subject to review, shall be deemed, to the extent applicable and subject to any provision in the ADR Procedures to the contrary, an Allowed Claim in such liquidated amount and satisfied in accordance with the Plan (provided, that, to the extent a Claim is an Allowed Insured Claim, such Allowed Claim shall be paid from the insurance proceeds available to satisfy such liquidated amount). Nothing contained in this section 7.2 shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Claim, right, or cause of action that the Debtors may have against any person in connection with or arising out of any Claim, including, without limitation, any rights under section 157(b) of title 28 of the United States Code. 7.3. Preservation of Insurance. The discharge and release of the Debtors as provided in this Plan shall not diminish or impair the enforceability of any insurance policies that may cover Claims against any Debtor or other Person. 7.4. Distributions After Allowance. After such time as a Disputed Claim becomes, in whole or in part, an Allowed Claim, the Disbursing Agent shall distribute to the holder thereof the distributions, if any, to which such holder is then entitled under the Plan in accordance with the provisions hereof. 7.5. No Recourse. Notwithstanding that the allowed amount of any particular Disputed Claim is reconsidered under the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules or is allowed in an amount for which after application of the payment priorities established by this Plan there is insufficient value to provide a recovery equal to that received by other holders of Allowed Claims in the respective Class, no Claim holder shall have recourse against the Disbursing Agent, the Debtors, the Creditors' Committee, the Reorganized Debtors, the Informal Committee or any of their respective professional consultants, attorneys, advisors, officers, directors or members or their successors or assigns, or any of their respective property. However, nothing in the Plan shall modify any right of a holder of a Claim under section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code. SECTION 8. EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES 8.1. General Treatment. All executory contracts and unexpired leases to which any of the Debtors are a party are hereby assumed by the respective Debtors that are parties to such executory contracts and unexpired leases, except for any executory contracts or unexpired leases that (i) have been assumed or rejected pursuant to Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (ii) are designated, specifically or by category, as a contract or lease to be rejected on the Schedule of Rejected Contracts and Leases included in the Plan Supplement, as such Schedule of Rejected Contracts and Leases may be amended from time to time whether prior to or after the Effective Date to include additional contracts and agreements, or (iii) are the subject of a separate motion to assume or reject filed under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code by the Debtors filed prior to the Effective Date. For purposes hereof, each executory contract and unexpired lease that relates to the use or occupancy of real property, whether (i) listed on the Schedule of Rejected Contracts and Leases, (ii) previously assumed or rejected pursuant to Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, or (iii) assumed herein, shall include (a) modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument, or other document that in any manner affects such executory contract or unexpired lease, and (b) executory contracts or unexpired leases appurtenant to the premises, excluding any non-competition and like agreements but including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, powers, uses, usufructs, reciprocal easement agreements, vault, tunnel or bridge agreements or franchises, and any other interests in real estate or rights in rem relating to such premises to the extent any of the foregoing are executory contracts or unexpired leases, unless any of the foregoing agreements are otherwise specifically assumed or rejected. The assumption of executory contracts and unexpired leases shall also include the affirmation of any guarantees or indemnification provided in regard to any such executory contract or unexpired lease by any other Debtor. 8.2. Cure of Defaults. Except to the extent that different treatment has been agreed to by the non-debtor party or parties to any executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed, the amount necessary to cure each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed hereunder (pursuant to sections 1123(a)(5)(G) and 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code and consistent with the requirements of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code), shall each be deemed to be $0.00 unless the non-debtor party to any such executory contract or unexpired lease, within 30 days after the Effective Date, files a pleading with the Bankruptcy Court, and serves such pleading on the Reorganized Debtors, asserting a different cure amount on account of any such executory contract or unexpired lease to be assumed. The Reorganized Debtors will have 15 days from the date of service to object to the cure amount asserted by any such party. If an objection is filed with respect to an executory contract or unexpired lease, the Bankruptcy Court will hold a hearing to determine the amount of the disputed cure amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at all times through the date that is 5 Business Days after the Bankruptcy Court enters an order resolving and fixing the amount of a disputed cure amount, the Debtors will have the right to reject that executory contract or unexpired lease. 8.3. Rejection Claims. Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, in the event that the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease by any of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan results in damages to the other party or parties to such contract or lease, a Claim for such damages shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors, or their respective properties or interests in property as agents, successors, or assigns, unless a proof of claim has been filed with the Bankruptcy Court or its designee and served upon counsel for the Debtors on or before thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. 8.4. Survival of the Debtors' Corporate Indemnities. Any obligation of one or more of the Debtors, pursuant to their corporate charters and bylaws or agreements entered into any time prior to the Commencement Date, to indemnify a Representative with respect to all present and future actions, suits, and proceedings against a Debtor or a Representative, based upon any act or omission for or on behalf of a Debtor shall not be discharged or impaired by confirmation or consummation of the Plan. Such obligations shall be deemed and treated as executory contracts to be assumed by the respective Debtor pursuant to the Plan, and shall continue as obligations of the respective Reorganized Debtor. SECTION 9. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE 9.1. Conditions Precedent. The occurrence of the Effective Date is subject to: (a) the Confirmation Order becoming a Final Order; (b) the Plan Documents to be entered into (rather than assumed) by the Reorganized Debtors being executed and delivered; and (c) The Federal Communications Commission approving the change of control that will take place in the ownership of Motient upon the Effective Date. 9.2. Waiver of Conditions Precedent. (a) The Debtors shall have the right to waive the condition set forth in section 9.1(a) at any time without leave of or notice to the Bankruptcy Court and without any formal action other than proceeding with consummation of the Plan. Further, the stay of the Confirmation Order, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3020(e) shall be deemed waived by entry of the Confirmation Order. (b) If the Debtors perform such a waiver and consummation, the Debtors' waiver of this condition will benefit from the "mootness doctrine," and the act of consummation of the Plan will foreclose any ability to challenge the Plan in court. The failure to satisfy or waive a condition may be asserted by the Debtors regardless of the circumstances that give rise to the failure of the condition to be satisfied (including, without limitation, any act, action, failure to act, or inaction by the Debtors). The failure of the Debtors to assert the non-satisfaction of any conditions will not be deemed a waiver of any other rights under the Plan, and each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted or waived at any time or from time to time. SECTION 10. EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION 10.1. Vesting of Assets. On the Effective Date, pursuant to sections 1141(b) and (c) of the Bankruptcy Code, except for leases and executory contracts that have not yet been assumed or rejected (which leases and contracts shall be deemed vested when and if assumed), all property of the Estates shall vest in one or more of the Reorganized Debtors free and clear of all Claims, liens, encumbrances, charges, and other interests, except as provided herein. Except as may otherwise be ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors shall have the right to cause any property of any Estate to vest in the Reorganized Debtor designated for such purpose by the Debtors. The Reorganized Debtors may operate their businesses and may use, acquire, and dispose of property free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules and in all respects as if there were no pending cases under any chapter or provision of the Bankruptcy Code, except as provided herein. 10.2. Discharge of Claims and Termination of Equity Interests. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Confirmation Order, the rights afforded in the Plan and the payments and distributions to be made hereunder shall discharge all existing debts and Claims, and terminate all Equity Interests of any kind, nature, or description whatsoever against or in the Debtors or any of their assets or properties to the fullest extent permitted by section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Confirmation Order, upon the Effective Date, all existing Claims against the Debtors and Equity Interests in the Debtors, shall be, and shall be deemed to be, discharged and terminated, and all holders of Claims and Equity Interests shall be precluded and enjoined from asserting against the Reorganized Debtors, or any of their assets or properties, any other or further Claim or Equity Interest based upon any act or omission, transaction, or other activity of any kind or nature that occurred prior to the Effective Date, whether or not such holder has filed a proof of claim or proof of equity interest. 10.3. Discharge of Debtors. Upon the Effective Date and in consideration of the distributions to be made hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein, each holder (as well as any trustees and agents on behalf of each holder) of a Claim or Equity Interest and any affiliate of such holder shall be deemed to have forever waived, released, and discharged the Debtors, to the fullest extent permitted by section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, of and from any and all Claims, Equity Interests, rights, and liabilities that arose prior to the Effective Date. Upon the Effective Date, all such persons shall be forever precluded and enjoined, pursuant to sections 105, 524, 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, from prosecuting or asserting any such discharged Claim against or terminated Equity Interest in the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors. 10.4. Term of Injunctions or Stays. Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Plan Documents, all injunctions or stays arising prior to the Confirmation Date in accordance with section 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, and in existence on the Confirmation Date, shall remain in full force and effect until the Effective Date. 10.5. Injunction Against Interference With Plan. Upon the entry of the Confirmation Order, all holders of Claims and Equity Interests and other parties in interest, along with their respective present or former affiliates, employees, agents, officers, directors, or principals, shall be enjoined from taking any actions to interfere with the implementation or consummation of the Plan of Reorganization. 10.6. Exculpation. Except with respect to obligations under the Plan and/or the Plan Documents, neither the Debtors, the Disbursing Agent, the Indenture Trustee and its affiliates, the Creditors' Committee, the Informal Committee, nor any of their respective members, officers, directors, employees, agents, or professionals, solely in their capacity as such, shall have or incur any liability to any holder of any Claim or Equity Interest for any act or omission in connection with, or arising out of, the Reorganization Cases, the confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization, the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization, or the administration of the Plan of Reorganization or property to be distributed pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, except for willful misconduct, recklessness or gross negligence. 10.7. Release of Claims. As of the Effective Date, each Debtor, Reorganized Debtor and Estate hereby waives, releases and discharges its Representatives and, effective as of the discharge of the Senior Note Indenture, the Indenture Trustee and its affiliates, from any Claim arising from the beginning of time through the Confirmation Date related to his or her acts or omissions to act (including, but not limited to, any Claims arising out of any alleged fiduciary or other duty). To the full extent permitted by applicable law, each holder of a Claim (whether or not Allowed) against or Equity Interest in a Debtor shall be enjoined from commencing or continuing any action, employment of process or act to collect, offset or recover and shall be deemed to release any Claim against a Representative and the Indenture Trustee and its affiliates arising from the beginning of time through the Confirmation Date related to such Representative's and such Indenture Trustee's and its affiliates' acts or omissions to act (including, but not limited to, any claims arising out of any alleged fiduciary or other duty). 10.8. Injunction. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, as of the Confirmation Date, but subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, all Persons who have held, hold or may hold Claims against or Equity Interests in any of the Debtors or the Estates are, with respect to any such Claims or Interests, permanently enjoined from and after the Confirmation Date from: (i) commencing, conducting or continuing in any manner, directly or indirectly, any suit, action or other proceeding of any kind (including, without limitation, any proceeding in a judicial, arbitral, administrative or other forum) against or affecting the Debtors, the Estates or the Reorganized Debtors or any of their property, or any direct or indirect transferee of any property of, or direct or indirect successor in interest to, any of the foregoing Persons, or any property of any such transferee or successor; (ii) enforcing, levying, attaching (including, without limitation, any pre-judgment attachment), collecting or otherwise recovering by any manner or means, whether directly or indirectly, of any judgment, award, decree or order against the Debtors, the Estates or the Reorganized Debtors or any of their property, or any direct or indirect transferee of any property of, or direct or indirect successor in interest to, any of the foregoing Persons, or any property of any such transferee or successor; (iii) creating, perfecting or otherwise enforcing in any manner, directly or indirectly, any encumbrance of any kind against the Debtors, the Estates or the Reorganized Debtors or any of their property, or any direct or indirect transferee of any property of, or successor in interest to, any of the foregoing Persons; (iv) asserting any right of setoff, subrogation, or recoupment of any kind, directly or indirectly, against any obligation due the Debtors, the Estates or the Reorganized Debtors, any of their property, or any direct or indirect transferee of any property of, or successor in interest to, any of the foregoing Persons; and (v) acting or proceeding in any manner, in any place whatsoever, that does not conform to or comply with the provisions of the Plan to the full extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing in this Plan should be construed to preclude the United States from pursuing any regulatory or police action against any Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, or any other party to the extent not prohibited by the automatic stay of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or discharged or enjoined pursuant to Sections 524 or 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law. 10.9. Retention of Causes of Action/Reservation of Rights. (a) Except as specifically provided herein, nothing contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to be a waiver or the relinquishment of any rights, Claims, or causes of action that the Debtors, the Estates or the Reorganized Debtors may have or which the Reorganized Debtors may choose to assert on behalf of the Estates in accordance with any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable nonbankruptcy law, including, without limitation, (i) any and all Claims against any person or entity, to the extent such person or entity asserts a crossclaim, counterclaim, and/or Claim for setoff which seeks affirmative relief against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their officers, directors, or representatives, (ii) the avoidance of any transfer by or obligation of the Estates or the Debtors or the recovery of the value of such transfer including without limitation any claims against Rare Medium, or (iii) the turnover of any property of the Estates. All such rights, Claims and causes of action are retained by the Debtors, their Estates and the Reorganized Debtors for enforcement. (b) Nothing contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to be a waiver or relinquishment of any claim, cause of action, right of setoff, or other legal or equitable defense that the Debtors had immediately prior to the Commencement Date, against or with respect to any Claim left unimpaired by the Plan. The Reorganized Debtors shall have, retain, reserve, and be entitled to assert all such claims, causes of action, rights of setoff, or other legal or equitable defenses which they or any of them had immediately prior to the Commencement Date fully as if the Reorganization Cases had not been commenced, and all legal and/or equitable rights of any Reorganized Debtor respecting any Claim left unimpaired by the Plan of Reorganization may be asserted after the Confirmation Date to the same extent as if the Reorganization Cases had not been commenced. SECTION 11. RETENTION OF JURISDICTION On and after the Effective Date, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction over all matters arising in, arising under, or related to the Reorganization Cases for, among other things, the following purposes: (a) To hear and determine applications for the assumption or rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases and the allowance of Claims resulting therefrom. (b) To determine any motion, adversary proceeding, avoidance action, application, contested matter, and other litigated matter pending on or commenced after the Confirmation Date, including without limitation, any claim or cause of action asserted against Rare Medium. (c) To ensure that distributions to holders of Allowed Claims are accomplished as provided herein. (d) To consider Claims or the allowance, classification, priority, compromise, estimation, or payment of any Claim, Administrative Expense Claim, or Equity Interest. (e) To enter, implement, or enforce such orders as may be appropriate in the event the Confirmation Order is for any reason stayed, reversed, revoked, modified, or vacated. (f) To issue injunctions, enter and implement other orders, and take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate to restrain interference by any person with the consummation, implementation, or enforcement of the Plan of Reorganization, the Confirmation Order, or any other order of the Bankruptcy Court. (g) To hear and determine any application to modify the Plan in accordance with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, to remedy any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or any order of the Bankruptcy Court, including the Confirmation Order, in such a manner as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and effects thereof. (h) To hear and determine all Fee Claims. (i) To hear and determine disputes arising in connection with the interpretation, implementation, or enforcement of the Plan, the Confirmation Order, any transactions or payments contemplated hereby, or any agreement, instrument, or other document governing or relating to any of the foregoing. (j) To take any action and issue such orders as may be necessary to construe, enforce, implement, execute, and consummate the Plan, including any release or injunction provisions set forth herein, or to maintain the integrity of the Plan following consummation. (k) To determine such other matters and for such other purposes as may be provided in the Confirmation Order. (l) To hear and determine matters concerning state, local, and federal taxes in accordance with sections 346, 505, and 1146 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(n) To enter a final decree closing the Reorganization Cases. (o) To recover all assets of the Debtors and property of the Estates, wherever located. SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 12.1. Exemption from Certain Transfer Taxes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any transfer or encumbrance of assets or any portion(s) of assets pursuant to, in furtherance of, or in connection with the Plan shall constitute a "transfer under a plan" within the purview of section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall not be subject to transfer, stamp or similar taxes. 12.2. Essential Trade Creditor and Other Payments. Notwithstanding the contents of the Schedules, Claims listed therein as undisputed, liquidated and not contingent shall be reduced by the amount, if any, that was paid by one or more of the Debtors pursuant to orders of the Bankruptcy Court, including, but not limited to, that certain Order Pursuant to Sections 363(b) and 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code Authorizing Payment of Prepetition Trade Claims of Essential Trade Creditors and Granting Related Relief, dated January 11, 2002. To the extent such payments are not reflected in the Schedules, such Schedules are hereby amended and reduced to reflect that such payments were made. Nothing in this Plan shall preclude the Reorganized Debtors from paying Claims that the Debtors were authorized to pay pursuant to any Final Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Confirmation Date. 12.3. Dissolution of Creditors' Committee. The Creditors' Committee shall dissolve on the later of (i) the Effective Date, or (ii) the conclusion of any litigation by or on behalf of the Estates (including, without limitation, claims objections or avoidance actions) against Rare Medium. 12.4. Substantial Consummation. On the Effective Date, the Plan shall be deemed to be substantially consummated pursuant to sections 1101 and 1127(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. 12.5. Amendments. (a) Plan of Reorganization Modifications. The Plan of Reorganization may be amended, modified, or supplemented by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors in the manner provided for by section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code or as otherwise permitted by law without additional disclosure pursuant to section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, except as the Bankruptcy Court may otherwise direct. In addition, after the Confirmation Date, so long as such action does not materially and adversely affect the treatment of holders of Claims or Equity Interests pursuant to the Plan, the Debtors may institute proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court to remedy any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistencies in the Plan of Reorganization or the Confirmation Order, with respect to such matters as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and effects of the Plan. (b) Other Amendments. Prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors may make appropriate technical adjustments and modifications to the Plan without further order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, provided that such technical adjustments and modifications do not adversely affect in a material way the treatment of holders of Claims or Equity Interests. 12.6. Revocation or Withdrawal of the Plan. The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan prior to the Effective Date. If the Debtors take such action, the Plan of Reorganization shall be deemed null and void. 12.7. Cramdown. In the event a Class votes against the Plan, and the Plan is not withdrawn as provided above, the Debtors reserve the right to effect a "cram down" of the Plan pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent any Class is deemed to reject the Plan by virtue of the treatment provided to such Class, the Plan shall be "crammed down" on the claimants within such Class pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. 12.8. Confirmation Order. The Confirmation Order shall, and is hereby deemed to, ratify all transactions effected by the Debtors during the period commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the Confirmation Date except for any acts constituting willful misconduct, gross negligence, recklessness or fraud. 12.9. Severability. If, prior to the entry of the Confirmation Order, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court, at the request of the Debtors, shall have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation. The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms. 12.10. Governing Law. Except to the extent that the Bankruptcy Code or other federal law is applicable, or to the extent an Exhibit hereto or a Plan Document provides otherwise, the rights, duties, and obligations arising under the Plan and the Plan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. 12.11. Time. In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by the Plan, unless otherwise set forth herein or determined by the Bankruptcy Court, the provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 9006 shall apply. 12.12. Notices. All notices, requests, and demands to or upon the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to be effective shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission) and, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when only actually delivered or, in the case of notice by facsimile transmission, when received and telephonically confirmed, addressed as follows: Motient Corporation 10802 Parkridge Boulevard Reston, Virginia 20191-5416 Attn: David H.
