 SPRINT NEXTEL CORPORATION, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Kansas
(herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum
of [    ] MILLION DOLLARS on November 15, 2021, and to pay interest and Additional Interest (if any) thereon from November 9, 2011, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or
duly provided for, semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 in each year, commencing May 15, 2012, at the rate of 11.500% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment, provided that any
principal and premium, and any such installment of interest and Additional Interest (if any), which is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of 11.500% per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable),
from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand. If any Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity of this 2021 Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the
required payment shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date the payment was due and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity of this
2021 Note, as the case may be, until the next Business Day. The interest and Additional Interest (if any) so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (or the next Business Day, as applicable) will, as provided
in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this 2021 Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest and Additional Interest (if any), which shall be the
May 1 or November 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest and Additional Interest (if any) not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be
payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this 2021 Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of 2021 Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which the 2021 Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this 2021 Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for

 Reverse of Note 

SPRINT NEXTEL CORPORATION 
 11.500% Notes Due 2021 
 This 2021 Note is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Company (herein called the “2021 Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of November 20, 2006 (herein called the “Indenture” which term shall have
the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as
supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 9, 2011 (the “Supplemental Indenture”). Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties
and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the 2021 Notes and of the terms upon which the 2021 Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. 

Any payments of interest on this 2021 Note shall include Additional Interest, if any, to the extent applicable under the Registration
Rights Agreement. 
 “Registration Rights Agreement” means the Registration Rights Agreement, dated
November 9, 2011, among the Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC for itself and for each of the other initial purchasers named on Schedule A thereto. 
 The Company may redeem the 2021 Notes at any time and from time to time, as a whole or in part, at the Company’s option, on at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice mailed to the
registered address of each Holder of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: 
 (1) 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed; and 
 (2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, discounted to the Redemption Date, on a semi-annual basis, assuming a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months, at the
Treasury Rate, plus 50 basis points; 
 plus, in each case, accrued interest to the Redemption Date that has not been paid (such
redemption price, the “Redemption Price”). 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United
States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the 2021 Notes that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in
pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the 2021 Notes. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date: (1) the average of four Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or (2) if the 

  
 A-6









 
Trustee is provided fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all quotations provided to the Trustee. 

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and their successors, and one other firm that is a primary U.S. Government securities dealer (each a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) which the Company shall specify from time to time;
provided, that if any of them ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury
Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means with respect to each 2021 Note to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of
the principal thereof and interest and Additional Interest (if any) thereon, that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; provided, that, if such Redemption Date is not an interest payment date with respect to
such 2021 Note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be deemed reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such Redemption Date. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to an applicable Redemption Date for the 2021 Notes: (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding
week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication that is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively
traded United States Treasury Notes adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that if no maturity is within three months
before or after the Stated Maturity of the 2021 Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those
yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month; or (2) if that release, or any successor release, is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the
semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the Redemption Date.
The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date. 
 On and after the Redemption
Date, interest and Additional Interest (if any) will cease to accrue on the 2021 Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price. 

  
 A-7









 In the event of redemption of this 2021 Note in part only, a new 2021 Note or 2021 Notes of
this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 Section 8.01 If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, each Holder of a 2021 Note will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part, equal to $2,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 thereafter, of that Holder’s 2021 Notes pursuant to an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in the Indenture. 

Section 8.02 The Company, in each Change of Control Offer, will offer a cash payment (a “Change of Control
Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of 2021 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest (if any) on the 2021 Notes up to but excluding the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of
Control Triggering Event, if the Company had not, prior to the Change of Control Triggering Event, sent a redemption notice for all the 2021 Notes in connection with an optional redemption permitted by the Indenture, the Company will mail or cause
to be mailed a notice to each registered Holder briefly describing the event or events that constitute a Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase 2021 Notes on the date specified in such notice (the “Change of Control
Payment Date”), which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date the notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture (as modified by this Supplemental Indenture) and described in such
notice. 
 Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, if the 2021 Notes receive an Investment Grade Rating by both of the
Rating Agencies, and notwithstanding that the 2021 Notes may later cease to have an Investment Grade Rating by either of the Rating Agencies, the Company will be released from its obligation to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control
Triggering Event. 
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: 

(a) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation),
in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company and its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets, taken as a whole, to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act);

 (b) the adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution; or 

(c) any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act)
becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting power of the Company’s Voting Securities; provided that a transaction in which the Company becomes a Subsidiary of another person shall not constitute a
Change of Control if (a) the Company’s stockholders immediately prior to such transaction Beneficially Own, directly or indirectly through one or more 

  
 A-8









 
intermediaries, 50% or more of the voting power of the outstanding Voting Securities of such other Person of whom the Company is a Subsidiary immediately following such transaction and
(b) immediately following such transaction no person (as defined above) other than such other person, Beneficially Owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting power of the Company’s Voting Securities. 

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Ratings Decline. 

“Investment Grade Rating” means a rating equal to or greater than Baa3 by Moody’s and BBB- by S&P or the
equivalent thereof under any new ratings system if the ratings systems of either such Rating Agency shall be modified after the issue date of the 2021 Notes, or the equivalent rating of any other Ratings Agency the Company selects as provided in the
definition of Ratings Agencies. 
 “Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or any successor
to the rating agency business thereof. 
 “Ratings Agencies” means (1) Moody’s and S&P; and
(2) if either Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the 2021 Notes or ceases to make a rating on the 2021 Notes publicly available, an entity registered as a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (registered as such
pursuant to Rule l7g-1 of the Exchange Act) then making a rating on the 2021 Notes publicly available selected by the Company (as certified by an officer’s certificate), which shall be substituted for Moody’s or S&P, as the case may
be. 
 “Ratings Decline” means the occurrence, during the period commencing on the date of the first public
announcement of the Change of Control or the intention to effect a Change of Control and ending 90 days after the occurrence of the Change of Control, of a downgrade of the rating of the 2021 Notes by both Rating Agencies by one or more gradations
(including gradations within ratings categories as well as between rating categories). 
 “S&P” means
Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., or any successor to the rating agency business thereof. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this 2021 Note or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this 2021 Note, in each
case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to the 2021
Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the 2021 Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities
of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities affected. With respect to any series of Securities, the


  
 A-9









 
consent of the Holders of that series of Securities required by the Indenture may be obtained from either the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of that series, or from
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of that series and all other series affected by that consent, voting as a single class. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in
principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. With respect to any series of Securities issued under the Indenture, in addition to obtaining waivers from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Outstanding Securities of that series, a waiver of
compliance with the Indenture and a waiver of past defaults under the Indenture can also be obtained from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of debt securities of that series and all other series affected by the waiver, whether issued
under the Indenture or any other indenture of the Company providing for such aggregated voting, all as a single class. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this 2021 Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this 2021 Note and of any 2021 Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this 2021 Note. 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this 2021 Note shall not have the right to institute any
proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to
the 2021 Notes, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the 2021 Notes at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the
Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of 2021 Notes at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such
proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this 2021 Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or
interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision
of this 2021 Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this 2021 Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer
of this 2021 Note is registerable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this 2021 Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this 2021 Note are
payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more
new 2021 Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

  
 A-10









 The 2021 Notes of this series are issuable only in registered form, without coupons, in
minimum denominations of $2,000 and thereafter any integral multiple of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, 2021 Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of
2021 Notes of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection therewith. 
 Prior to due presentment of this 2021 Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and
any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this 2021 Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this 2021 Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary. 
 No recourse for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this 2021
Note, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company contained in the Indenture, or in any 2021 Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness
represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator or any past, present or future partner, shareholder, other equity holder, officer, director, employee or controlling person, as such, of the Company or of any successor Person, either
directly or through the Company or any successor Person, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, it being expressly understood that all such liability, either at
common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, is hereby waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issuance of this 2021 Note. 

THIS 2021 NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
