Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On August 22, 2008, SkyTerra Communications, Inc. ("SkyTerra"), Mobile Satellite Ventures L.P. ("MSV LP"), Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC ("MSV LLC"), Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. ("Harbinger Master"), Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P. ("Harbinger Special"), Harbinger Capital Partners Fund I, L.P. ("Harbinger Fund"), and Harbinger Co-Investment Fund, L.P. ("Harbinger Satellite Fund", and together with Harbinger Master, Harbinger Special and Harbinger Fund, "Harbinger") entered into a letter agreement (the "Agreement") to set forth the framework of certain amendments to the Master Contribution and Support Agreement between SkyTerra, MSV LP, MSV LLC and Harbinger, dated July 24, 2008 (the "Master Agreement"), and the Registration Rights Agreement between SkyTerra and Harbinger, dated July 24, 2008 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). The Master Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement will be amended to incorporate the terms of the Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the Agreement, SkyTerra and Harbinger have agreed to amend the Master Agreement to eliminate Harbinger's contribution to SkyTerra of any equity interests in TVCC Holding Company, LLC ("TVCC") and to eliminate SkyTerra's obligation to issue to Harbinger shares of SkyTerra common stock in exchange for such contribution. In consideration of the amendment, SkyTerra has agreed to issue 10.3 million additional shares of SkyTerra voting common stock to Harbinger if the business combination with Inmarsat plc contemplated by the Master Agreement is consummated.
 
The Agreement also provides that the Master Agreement will be amended so as to no longer contain any references, terms, conditions, representations, warranties, covenants, liabilities or other obligations with respect to TVCC, and that the definition of "Registrable Shares" in the Registration Rights Agreement will be amended to include the voting common stock to be issued to Harbinger pursuant to the Agreement to the extent not already included therein.
 
The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, which is incorporated by reference herein.
