The Plan shall be filed by the Debtors pursuant to this Confirmation Order.

1. FINDINGS OF FACT.

A. Definitions. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan or the Plan Supplement.

B. Notice of Confirmation Hearing. Notice of the Confirmation Hearing and the relevant deadlines for submission of objections and ballots, as prescribed by this Court in the Solicitation Order, has been provided, as more fully reflected in the Affidavit of Mailing, the supplemental Affidavit of Mailing, and the Affidavit of Publication, and such notice is adequate and sufficient pursuant to section 1128 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 2002(b) and 3020(b) and other applicable law and rules.

C. Transmission of Ballots. Ballots were transmitted to holders of Claims in Classes eligible to vote on the Plan in accordance with the Solicitation Order.

D. Good Faith Solicitation. The Debtors solicited votes for the Plan in good faith and, with respect to those votes included to satisfy the requirements of section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, in a manner consistent with the Bankruptcy Code.

E. Vote Certification (Bankruptcy Rule 3018). The Vote Certification and the Second Supplemental Vote Certification provided by the Balloting Agent are consistent with Bankruptcy Rule 3018.

F. COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 1129 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

1. Section 1129(a)(1) — Compliance of the Plan with Applicable Provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, as required by section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, sections 1122 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

a. Sections 1122 and 1128(a)(l)-(I)— Classification and Treatment of Claims and Interests.

Pursuant to sections 1122(a) and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article II of the Plan designates Classes of Claims and Interests, other than Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Fee Claims. As required by section 1122(a), each Class of Claims or Interests contains only Claims or Interests that are substantially similar to the other Claims or Interests within that Class. The Plan establishes the following Classes of Claims and Interests: Class 1 (Unsecured Priority Claims); Class 2 (MEFA/SLA Claims); Class 3 (EFA Secured Claims); Class 4 (Handset Financing Claims); Class 5 (Trade Claims); Class 6 (Old Note Claims and Non-Funded Debt Unsecured Claims); Class 7 (Miscellaneous Secured Claims); Class 8 (Fine, Penalty and Forfeiture Claims); Class 9 (Subordinated Securities Claims); and Class 10 (Existing Equity Interests). Pursuant to sections 1123(a)(2) and 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, Articles II and III of the Plan specify all Classes of Claims and Interests that are impaired or not impaired under the Plan and specify the treatment of all Classes of Claims and Interests that are impaired under the Plan. Pursuant to section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III of the Plan also provides the same treatment for each Claim or Interest within a particular Class, unless the holder of a Claim or interest agrees to less favorable treatment of its Claim or Interest. Therefore, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1122 and 1123(a)(1) through (4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

b. Section 1128(a)(5) — Adequate Means for Implementation of the Plan.

Article IV and various other provisions of the Plan provide adequate means for implementing the Plan, including (i) the continued corporate existence of Nil as Reorganized Nil and the vesting of assets in Reorganized Nil; (ii) the execution of the Registration Rights Agreement, the New Spectrum Use and Build-Out Agreement, the Global Release Agreement, the Amended and Restated Overhead Services Agreement, the Third Amended and Restated Trademark License Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Standstill Agreement; (iii) the issuance and distribution of the Subscription Rights, New Common Stock and the New Senior Notes; (iv) the general releases of the holders of Claims and Interests and the injunction related to those releases; (v) the continuation of substantially similar employee benefit policies, plans and agreements as were provided prior to the Petition Date; (vi) the release of liens; (vii) the assumption, assumption and assignment or rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; (viii) the cancellation of the Capital Subscription, the MEFA, the SLA, the Old Notes, and Prepetition Indentures; (ix) the execution of the New MEFA, the New EFA, and the New Senior Notes Indenture; (x) the preservation of the Debtors’ rights of action by Reorganized Nil; (xi) the substantive consolidation of the Debtors’ estates; and (xii) the adoption, execution delivery and implementation of all contracts, leases, instruments, releases and other agreements or documents related to the foregoing. Moreover, the Debtors will have sufficient cash to make all payments required on the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.

c. Section 1123(a)(6) — Prohibition Against the Issuance of Nonvoting Equity Secunties and Adequate Provisions for Voting Power of Classes of Secunties.

As set forth in Section IV.C.l.a of the Plan, as of the Effective Date the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Reorganized Nil will, inter alia, (i) prohibit the issuance of nonvoting equity securities to the extent required by section 1123(a) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (ii) authorize the issuance of the New Common Stock. Additionally, as of the Effective Date, all Interests issued by or relating to either of the Debtors and outstanding immediately prior to the Petition Date will be canceled. As of the Effective Date, Reorganized Nil will be authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares, par value $0,001, of New Common Stock, 10,000,000 shares, par value $0,001, of preferred stock, and one share of Special Preferred Director Stock, par value $1.00 per share. The holders of New Common Stock will be entitled to one vote for each share of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.

d. Section 1123(a)(7) — Selection of Directors and Officers in a Manner Consistent with the Interests of Creditors and Equity Security Holders and Public Policy.

The initial board of directors of Reorganized Nil will be selected by the Debtors and shall be divided into three classes, with the term of office of one class expiring each year. The three directors of Class I shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting following the Effective Date, the three directors of Class II shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting, and the three directors of Class III shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting. Commencing with the next annual meeting following the Effective Date, each class of directors whose term shall then or thereafter expire shall be elected to hold office for a three-year term. Exhibit IV.C.2 to the Plan identifies the nine initial directors of Reorganized Nil and the class of which each such director is a member. Any vacancies created by the death, resignation or removal of a director shall be filled in accordance with the form of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. In light of the foregoing, the manner of selection of the initial directors and officers of Reorganized Nil and the manner of selection of successor directors and officers of Reorganized Nil are consistent with the interests of the holders of Claims and Interests and public policy and, therefore, satisfies the requirements of section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

e. Section 1123(b)(l)-(%) — Impairment of Claims and Interests and Assumption, Assumption and Assignment or Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

In accordance with section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article III impairs or leaves unimpaired, as the case may be, each Class of Claims or Interests. In accordance with section 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article V of the Plan provides for the assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases of the Debtors that have not been previously assumed, assumed and assigned, or rejected pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and appropriate authorizing orders of the Court. Accordingly, the Plan complies with section 1123(b)(1) and (2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

f. Section 1123(b)(3) — Retention, Enforcement and Settlement of Claims Held by the Debtor.

Section PV.D of the Plan provides that, except as provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument, release or other agreement entered into or delivered in connection with the Plan, in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, Reorganized Nil will retain and may enforce any claims, demands, rights and causes of action that the Debtors or their Estates may hold against any entity, including any Recovery Actions against any person or entity. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

g. Section 1123(b)(5) — Modification of the Rights of Holders of Claims.

Article III of the Plan modifies or leaves unaffected, as the case may be, the rights of holders of each Class of Claims and, therefore, the Plan satisfies section 1123(b)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.

h. Section 1128(b)(6) — Other Provisions Not Inconsistent With Applicable Provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

(i) The Plan includes additional appropriate provisions that are not inconsistent with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including: (i) the provisions of Article IV of the Plan regarding the means for implementing the Plan; (ii) the provisions of Article V of the Plan governing the assumption, assumption and assignment or rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases (including the provisions of Section V.A.1 of the Plan allowing the Debtors to amend Exhibit V.A to the Plan at any time prior to the Effective Date); (iii) the provisions of Article VI of the Plan governing distributions on account of Allowed Claims, particularly as to the timing and calculation of amounts to be distributed; (iv) the provisions of Article VII of the Plan establishing procedures for resolving Disputed Claims and making distributions on account of such Disputed Claims once resolved; (v) the provisions of Article VIII of the Plan providing for the substantive consolidation of the Debtors for the purpose of implementing the Plan; (vi) the provisions of Article XI of the Plan regarding the discharge of Claims and the termination of Interests; and (vii) the provisions of Article XII of the Plan regarding retention of jurisdiction by the Bankruptcy Court over certain matters after the Effective Date.

(ii) Section 1129(a)(2) — Compliance with Applicable Provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Plan, as required by section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, including section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules 3017 and 3018. The Disclosure Statement and the procedures by which the Ballots for acceptance or rejection of the Plan were solicited and tabulated were fair, properly conducted and in accordance with sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 3017 and 3018 and the Solicitation Order. The Court determined that the Debtors solicited the votes of certain parties (the “Designated Parties”) in violation of section 1125(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and, accordingly, the Court has designated the Designated Parties pursuant to section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors, the Debtors’ officers, directors and professionals, have acted in “good faith,” within the meaning of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Designated Parties’ votes have not been included as acceptances of the Plan, pursuant to section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, the Debtors have satisfied the requirements of section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

i.Section 1123(d) — Cure of Defaults.

Section V.B of the Plan provides for the satisfaction of Cure Amount Claims associated with each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan in accordance with section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. All Cure Amount Claims will be determined in accordance with the underlying agreements and applicable nonbankruptcy law.

j. Section 1129(a)(3) — Proposal of the Plan in Good Faith.

The Debtors proposed the Plan in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law. In determining that the Plan has been proposed in good faith, the Court has examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the formulation of the Plan. Based on the uncontroverted evidence presented at the Confirmation Hearing, the Court finds and concludes that the Plan has been proposed with the legitimate purpose of reorganizing the business affairs of each of the Debtors and maximizing the returns available to creditors of the Debtors. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

k. Section 1129(a) (tí — Bankruptcy Court Approval of Certain Payments as Reasonable.

(i) Section III.A.l.f.ii of the Plan provides that, except as otherwise provided in the Ordinary Course Professionals Order, Professionals or other entities asserting a Fee Claim for services rendered before the Effective Date must file and serve on Reorganized Nil and such other entities who are designated by the Bankruptcy Rules, this Confirmation Order, the Fee Order, or other order of the Court an application for final allowance of such Fee Claim no later than 60 days after the Effective Date. The Court will review such applications under sections 328 and 330 of the Bankruptcy Code and any applicable case law. Pursuant to the Fee Order, the Court has authorized periodic payments of the fees and expenses of Professionals incurred in connection with these chapter 11 cases. All such fees and expenses, however, remain subject to final review by the Court. Additionally, any fee and expense claims of the Ad Hoc Noteholder Committee advisors shall be subject to Court review.

(ii) Section III.D sets forth special provisions regarding the payment of the Indenture Trustees’ claims. Pursuant to the Plan, the Court will determine whether to approve the fees and expenses requested by each Indenture Trustee upon consideration of whether such amounts are appropriate under the terms of the applicable Prepetition Indenture and applicable law.

(iii) In connection with the foregoing, Article XII of the Plan provides that the Court will retain jurisdiction after the Effective Date to hear and determine all applications for allowance of compensation or reimbursement of expenses authorized pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or the Plan. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

1.Section 1129(a)(5) — Disclosure of Identity of Proposed Management, Compensation of Insiders and Consistency of Management Proposals with the Interests of Creditors and Public Policy.

In the Disclosure Statement and Exhibit IV.C.2 to the Plan, the Debtors have disclosed the identity of the initial proposed directors and officers of Reorganized Nil and the identity and the compensation of insiders who will be employed or retained by Reorganized Nil. The appointment or continuance of the proposed directors and officers is consistent with the interests of holders of Claims and Interests and public policy and, therefore, satisfies the requirements under section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.

m. Section 1129(a)(6) — Approval of Rate Changes.

The Debtors’ current business does not involve the establishment of rates over which any regulating commission has jurisdiction or will have jurisdiction after confirmation.

n. Section 1129(a)(7) — Best Interests of Holders of Claims and Interests.

With respect to each impaired Class of Claims or Interests, each holder of a Claim or Interest in such impaired Class has accepted or is deemed to have accepted the Plan, or as demonstrated by the liquidation analysis included as Exhibit IV to the Disclosure Statement, will receive or retain under the Plan on account of such Claim or Interest property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the amount that such holder would receive or retain if the Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on the Effective Date. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

o. Section 1129(a)(8) — Acceptance of the Plan by Each Impaired Class.

Pursuant to sections 1124 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code: (a) as indicated in Article III of the Plan, Classes 1, 4, 5, and 7 are Classes of unimpaired Claims or Interests; and (b) as indicated in the Vote Certification and the Second Supplemental Vote Certification, impaired Class 6 has accepted the Plan. Because the holders of Claims and Interests in Classes 8, 9 and 10 will not receive or retain any property on account of such Claims or Interests. Classes 8, 9 and 10 are deemed not to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Holder of all Claims in Classes 2 and 3 has voted to accept the Plan, however, pursuant to separate order of this Court, such Holder has been designated and its accepting votes shall not be counted as acceptances of the Plan. Classes 2 and 3 have not accepted the Plan for purposes of section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code, however, as demonstrated at the Confirmation Hearing, the Holder of Claims in Classes 2 and 3 has consented to its treatment under the Plan. Notwithstanding the lack of compliance with section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to Classes 2, 3, 8, 9 and 10, the Plan is confirmable because, as described below, the Plan satisfies the “cramdown” requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to such Classes. Additionally, the Holder of Claims in Classes 2 and 3, as demonstrated at the Confirmation Hearing, will receive the “indubitable equivalent” with respect to their Claims.

p. Section 1129(a)(9) — Treatment of Claims Entitled to Priority Pursuant to Section 507(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Plan provides for treatment of Allowed Administrative Claims, Priority Claims and Fee Claims in the manner required by section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code.

q. Section 1129 (a) (10) — Acceptance By at Least One Impaired, Non-Insider Class.

As indicated in the Vote Certification, the Second Supplemental Vote Certification and as reflected in the record of the Confirmation Hearing, impaired Class 6 has voted to accept the Plan, which acceptance has been determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider of the Debtors. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code.

r. Section 1129(a)(ll) — Feasibility of the Plan.

Although the Debtors’ business is highly competitive, and although it is impossible to predict with certainty the precise future profitability of the Debtors’ business, confirmation is not likely to be followed by the liquidation of, or the need for further financial reorganization of the Debtors or Reorganized Nil as demonstrated by the McKenna Affidavit and the description of the Debtors’ financial projections contained in the Disclosure Statement. Upon the Effective Date, Reorganized Nil will have sufficient cash flow and capital resources to pay its liabilities as they become due and to satisfy its capital needs for the conduct of its business. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(ll) of the Bankruptcy Code.

s. Section 1129(a)(12) — Payment of Bankruptcy Fees.

The Plan provides that all fees payable to the United States Trustee pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930 shall be paid in cash on or before the Effective Date. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code.

t. Section 1129(a)(lS) — Continuation of Retiree Benefits.

Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors had no “retiree benefits” programs, as such term is defined by Section 1114(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

u. Section 1129(b) — Confirmation of the Plan over the Nonacceptance of Impaired Classes.

Pursuant to section 1129(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan may be confirmed notwithstanding that Classes 8, 9 and 10 are impaired and are deemed not to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Additionally, the Holder of Claims voting in Classes 2 and 3 has been designated pursuant to section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and, as a result, there are no parties voting to accept or reject the Plan in Classes 2 and 3. Accordingly, Classes 2 and 3 have not voted to accept the Plan. Other than the failure to satisfy the requirement in section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to Classes 2, 3, 8, 9 and 10, all of the requirements of section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code have been met. The Plan does not discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable with respect to Classes 2, 3, 8, 9 and 10. No holders of Claims or Interests junior to the Claims or Interests of Classes 2, 3, 8, 9 and 10 will receive or retain any property under the Plan on account of their respective junior Claims or Interests and, as evidenced by the estimates contained in the Disclosure Statement and by the evidence in the record, no holders of Claims or Interests senior to Classes 2, 3, 8, 9 and 10 are receiving more than full payment on account of such senior Claims and Interests. Additionally, the Holder of Claims in Classes 2 and 3, as demonstrated at the Confirmation Hearing, has consented to the treatment provided to it pursuant to the Plan and will receive the “indubitable equivalent” with respect to its Claims.

v. Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a).

The Plan is dated and identifies the entities submitting the Plan.

w. Compliance with Bankruptcy Rule 3016(c).

In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3016(c), the Disclosure Statement describes in specific and conspicuous italicized language all acts to be enjoined and identifies the entities that would be subject to the injunction.

x. Section 1129(c) — Only One Plan.

Other than the Plan (including previous versions thereof), no plan has been filed in these Cases. Accordingly, the requirements of section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code have been satisfied.

y. Section 1129(d) — Principal Purpose of the Plan.

The primary purpose of the Plan is not the avoidance of taxes or avoidance of the requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act, and there has been no objection filed by any governmental unit asserting such avoidance. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

G. SETTLEMENTS, RELEASES AND INDEMNIFICATION.

1. Fairness and Necessity of Releases and Indemnification.

a. The releases set forth in Section IV. D.2.a of the Plan, including the release of nondebtor parties pursuant to the general releases by holders of Claims or Interests in Section 3V.D.2 of the Plan, are (i) integral to the agreements that form the basis of the Plan, (ii) necessary for the reorganization of the Debtors, and (iii) supported by reasonable consideration.

b. The releases of the Debtors’ post-petition and present directors, officers and employees contained in Section IV.D.2.a of the Plan are necessary and appropriate, among other things, to avoid the assertion of indemnification claims by such directors, officers and employees against Reorganized NII for liabilities arising prior to the Effective Date and to avoid distracting and disruptive litigation against such persons relating to the management of the Debtors’ business prior to the Effective Date.

c. The Debtors, Reorganized Nil, NCI, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Committee, the Indenture Trustee, MCC, Motorola, as well as each creditor that voted to accept the Plan on their respective ballots, have specifically consented to the releases contained in Section IV.D.2 of the Plan. The Court’s designation of the votes of MCC and the Ad Hoc Noteholder Committee shall have no effect on such consents given by such parties under the Plan.

d. In light of all of the circumstances, the releases in Section IV.D.2 of the Plan are fair to the releasing parties.

e. The releases contained in Section IV.D.2 are not binding upon or effective against the Securities and Exchange Commission.

H. SUBSTANTIVE CONSOLIDATION.

The substantive consolidation of the Debtors’ Estates for the purpose of implementing the Plan, as described in Article VIII of the Plan, will promote a more equitable distribution of the Debtors’ assets and is appropriate under section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code. Among the factors supporting the substantive consolidation of the Debtors’ Estates are the following: (1) Nil Holdings, Inc. is the direct parent corporation of Nil Holdings (Delaware), Inc.; (2) virtually all of the Debtors’ employees are employees of Nil Holdings, Inc.; (3) the Debtors maintain consolidated financial statements and other consolidated books and records; (4) the Debtors generally have represented themselves to creditors as a single entity; and (5) no creditors will be substantially prejudiced by the aggregation of the Debtors’ assets and liabilities.

II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW.

A.JURISDICTION AND VENUE.

This Court has jurisdiction over these Cases pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334. The Confirmation Hearing is a “core proceeding” pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2), and this Court has jurisdiction to enter a Final Order with respect thereto. Venue of these chapter 11 Cases in this Court is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. Each of the Debtors is an entity eligible for relief under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code.

B. MODIFICATIONS.
