        <footnote id="F1">On November 12, 2004, in connection with a private placement of shares of Common Stock by Motient Corporation (the &quot;Offering&quot;), Tudor Proprietary Trading, L.L.C. (&quot;TPT&quot;), The Altar Rock Fund L.P. (&quot;Altar Rock&quot;), The Raptor Global Portfolio Ltd. (&quot;Raptor&quot;), and The Tudor BVI Global Portfolio Ltd. (&quot;BVI&quot;) purchased  79,462,  6,907,   698,364,  and  148,756  shares of Common Stock, respectively.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">These shares of Common Stock are reported herein as indirectly beneficially owned by Paul T. Jones, II.  These shares are owned indirectly by Tudor Investment Corporation (&quot;Tudor&quot;) (3,996,976 shares) (see footnote 3) and directly by TPT (381,968 shares).  Because Mr. Jones is the controlling shareholder of Tudor and the indirect controlling equity holder of TPT, Mr. Jones may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned by each of such entities.  Mr. Jones expressly disclaims such beneficial ownership.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">These shares of Common Stock are reported herein as indirectly beneficially owned by Tudor Investment Corporation (&quot;Tudor&quot;).  These shares are owned directly by Altar Rock (34,975 shares), Raptor (3,248,275 shares), and BVI (713,726 shares) . Because Tudor is the sole General Partner of Altar Rock and provides investment advisory services to Raptor and BVI, Tudor may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock owned by each of such entities. Tudor expressly disclaims such beneficial ownership.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">Following the Offering, none of the Reporting Persons remained the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the shares of Common Stock.</footnote>
