Dear Peter:

The Company, with your consent, is separating the positions of Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer and appointing an independent director as non-executive
Chairman, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement to be entered into as of the date
of this letter.

This letter updates your November 2, 2007 Employment Agreement with the Company
to reflect those changes.

In April 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed you as the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and since April 2008 you have been serving as
both the Company’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Section 1 of
the Employment Agreement only refers to your service as Executive Chairman.
Retroactive to the commencement of your service as Chief Executive Officer,
Section 1 shall be construed as also referring to your service as Chief
Executive Officer. In that capacity, you shall have the rights and duties chief
executive officers typically have, and report directly to the Board. Unless
clearly inappropriate in the context, every reference in your Employment
Agreement to your position, authority, rights, or duties shall be construed as
referring to both your Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer position,
authority, rights, or duties while you hold both positions and, when you only
hold one of those positions, to that position and its authority, rights, or
duties.

Section 2.6(viii) of your Employment Agreement provides that “[f]ailure by the
Company to elect you to the position of sole Chairman of the Board of Directors”
would give you “Good Reason” to resign. Your failure to be re-elected to the
Board would be one way this Good Reason event could occur. While you are willing
to give up your Executive Chairman position, you are not willing to give up the
protection that Section 2.6(viii) affords you in the event of non-re-election to
the Board. If the Company implements the Settlement Agreement being signed
concurrently with this letter, you agree that cessation of your Executive
Chairman position and the appointment of a new chairman with the duties
specified in the Position Description, the form of which has previously been
furnished to you, shall not constitute “Good Reason” under Section 2.6 of your
Employment Agreement, and the Company agrees that your failure to be re-elected
to the Company’s Board while you remain willing to serve would remain a “Good
Reason” event under that section.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Except as provided in the two preceding paragraphs, nothing in this letter
amends or waives any provision of your Employment Agreement.

Please confirm you agreement with the foregoing by countersigning this letter in
the space indicated below.

Sincerely,

 

NOVATEL WIRELESS, INC. By:

Accepted and agreed to as of the date first written above:
