or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange
Securities; and




               (vii) comply in all material respects with all applicable laws.



          (d) As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company and

principal amount of Exchange Securities equal to the principal amount of the Securities of such
Holder so accepted for exchange.



          (e) Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Broker-Dealer and any such Holder
using the Registered Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Securities (x)
could not under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement rely on the position
of the Commission in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (pub. avail. May 13, 1988) and
Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (pub. avail. June 5, 1991), as interpreted in the Commission’s
letter to Shearman & Sterling LLP dated July 2, 1993 and similar no-action letters; and (y) must
comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act in connection with any
secondary resale transaction, which must be covered by an effective registration statement
containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of
Regulation S-K under the Act if the resales are of Exchange Securities obtained by such Holder in
exchange for Securities acquired by such Holder directly from the Company, the Guarantors or one of
their respective Affiliates. Accordingly, each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange
Offer shall be required to represent to the Company and the Guarantors that, at the time of the

          (f) If any Initial Purchaser determines that it is prohibited by law or Commission policy from
participating in the Registered Exchange Offer with respect to the exchange of Securities
constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, at the request of such Initial Purchaser, the
Company and the Guarantors shall issue and deliver to the person purchasing Securities registered
under a Shelf Registration Statement as contemplated by Section




6









 







3 hereof from such Initial Purchaser, in exchange for such Securities, a like principal amount of
Exchange Securities.




     3. Shelf Registration. (a) If (i) due to any change in law or applicable
interpretations thereof by the Commission’s staff, the Company determines upon advice of its
outside counsel that it is not permitted to effect the Registered Exchange Offer as contemplated by
Section 2 hereof; (ii) the Registered Exchange Offer has not been consummated by the Exchange Date;
or (iii) any Holder notifies the Company within 30 days following the consummation of the
Registered Exchange Offer that (A) it is prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating
in the Registered Exchange Offer; (B) it may not resell the Exchange Securities acquired by it in
the Registered Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such
resales; or (C) it is a broker-dealer and owns Securities acquired directly from the Company or an
affiliate of the Company, then the Company and the Guarantors shall effect a Shelf Registration
Statement in accordance with subsection (b) below.



          (b) (i) The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to
file with the Commission within 30 days after such filing obligation arises, but in no event
earlier than the 210th calendar day after the Closing Date, and shall use their respective
reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective under the Act within 75 days of such
filing, pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 3, a Shelf Registration Statement relating to
the offer and sale of the Securities or the Exchange Securities, as applicable, by the Holders
thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders
and set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that no
Holder shall be entitled to have the Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration
Statement or be entitled to use a Prospectus forming a part thereof unless such Holder agrees in
writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder and has
returned to the Company a completed and signed selling securityholder questionnaire in reasonable
and customary form by the reasonable deadline for responses set forth therein; and
provided, further, that with respect to Exchange Securities received by an Initial
Purchaser in exchange for Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, the Company
and the Guarantors may, if permitted by current interpretations by the Commission’s staff, file a
post-effective amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement containing the information
required by Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable, in satisfaction of their obligations
under this subsection with respect thereto, and any such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as
so amended, shall be referred to herein as, and governed by the provisions herein applicable to, a
Shelf Registration Statement.




          (ii) The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to keep
the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by
the Act, in order to permit the Prospectus forming part thereof to be usable by Holders for a
period (the “Shelf Registration Period”) from the date the Shelf Registration Statement is declared
effective by the Commission until the first to occur of (A) the date upon which all the Securities
or Exchange Securities, as applicable, covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold
pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, become Freely Tradable or cease to be outstanding or
(B) two years after the Closing Date.




7









 








          (iii) Subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, the Company and the Guarantors shall
cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and any amendment or supplement
thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or such amendment or
supplement, (A) to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of
the Act; and (B) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the
case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not
misleading.

not misleading.



          (c) The Company and the Guarantors shall advise the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of

instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the Company and the Guarantors shall have

any event that requires any change in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus so that, as of
such date, they (A) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and (B) do not omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in
the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not
misleading.



          (d) The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to
prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the

Exchanging Dealer and each other person required to deliver a Prospectus during the Exchange Offer
Registration Period, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus included in such Exchange
Offer Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as any such person may
reasonably request. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4, the Company and the Guarantors
consent to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by any Initial
Purchaser, any Exchanging Dealer and any such other person that may be required to deliver a
Prospectus following the Registered Exchange Offer in connection with the offering and sale of the
Exchange Securities covered by the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (in each case, if such Initial Purchaser, Exchanging
Dealer or other person is properly named in such Prospectus, as amended and supplemented), except
during any suspension period referred to in Section 4(c) above or Section 4(k) below.

jurisdictions as any Holder shall reasonably request and shall maintain such qualification in
effect so long as required; provided that in no event shall the Company or any Guarantor be
obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to
take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out
of the Initial Placement, the Registered Exchange Offer or any offering pursuant to a Shelf
Registration Statement, in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject, or to subject
itself to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not now subject.




          (j) The Company and the Guarantors shall cooperate with the Holders of Securities to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Exchange Securities or
Securities to be issued or sold pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive

10









 







(or within the time period provided for by clause (ii) hereof, if applicable) prepare and file
a post-effective amendment to the applicable Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement
to the related Prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to
the Initial Purchasers of the securities included therein, the Prospectus will not include an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading. In such circumstances, the Exchange Offer Registration Period and
the Shelf Registration Period shall be extended by the number of days from and including the date
of the giving of a notice of suspension pursuant to Section 4(c) or Section 4(k)(ii), as
applicable, to and including the date when the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities
covered by any Shelf Registration Statement and any Known Exchanging Dealer shall have received
such amended or supplemented Prospectus pursuant to this Section or shall have been advised in
writing by the Company and the Guarantors that the Prospectus may be used.



(ii) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by subsections (c)(ii) through (v) above, or the
occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development or any other material event that, in
the reasonable judgment of NII Holdings, Inc. (the “Parent”), makes it appropriate to suspend the
availability of a Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, the Parent shall give notice
(without notice of the nature or details of such events) to the Holders of the Securities covered
by any Shelf Registration Statement, the Initial Purchasers and any Known Exchanging Dealer, as
applicable, that the Registration Statement is suspended and, upon actual receipt of any such
notice, each such Holder, Initial Purchaser and Exchanging Dealer, as applicable, agrees not to
sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until such Holder, Initial
Purchaser or Exchanging Dealer, as applicable, shall have received such amended or supplemented
Prospectus pursuant to this Section or have been advised in writing by the Parent that the
Prospectus may be used. The period during which the availability of the Shelf Registration and any
Prospectus is suspended (the “Deferral Period”) shall not exceed 45 days in any three-month period
or 90 days in any twelve-month period.




          (l) The Company and the Guarantors shall comply in all material respects with all applicable
rules and regulations of the Commission and shall make generally available to its security holders
an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act as soon as practicable
after the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement.




          (m) The Company and the Guarantors may require each Holder of Registrable Securities to be
sold pursuant to any Registration Statement to furnish to the Company and the Guarantors such
information regarding the Holder and the distribution of such securities as the Company and the
Guarantors may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in such Registration Statement,
including such information requested or required by the Commission. The Company and the Guarantors
may exclude from such Registration Statement the Registrable Securities of any Holder that fails to
furnish such information within a reasonable time after such request. Each Holder as to which
Registrable Securities are being included in a Registration Statement agrees to furnish to the
Company all information with respect to such Holder necessary to make any information previously
furnished to the Company by such Holder pursuant to this Section 4(m) or otherwise not materially
misleading.




11









 








          (n) In the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall
enter into reasonable and customary agreements (including, if requested, an underwriting agreement
in reasonable and customary form) and take all other reasonably appropriate actions in order to
expedite or facilitate the registration or the disposition of the Securities, and in connection
therewith, if an underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to contain indemnification
provisions and procedures no less favorable than those set forth in Section 6 hereof.




          (o) In the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall, if
requested:




               (i) subject to the execution of confidentiality agreements reasonably satisfactory to the
Parent, upon reasonable prior written notice and during regular business hours, make reasonably
available for inspection by the Holders of Securities to be registered thereunder, any Underwriter
participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement, and any attorney,
accountant or other agent retained by the Holders or any such Underwriter, at the Parent’s
principal place of business, all relevant financial and other records and pertinent corporate
documents of the Parent and its subsidiaries reasonably requested by the Holders or any such
Underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with any such Registration Statement as is
customary for similar due diligence examinations; provided, however, that with
respect to any attorney engaged by the Holders or any Underwriter, the foregoing inspection and
information gathering shall be coordinated by one counsel designated by the Holders and one counsel
designated by the Underwriter or Underwriters;



               (ii) subject to the execution of confidentiality agreements reasonably satisfactory to the
Parent, upon reasonable prior written notice and during regular business hours, cause the Parent’s
officers, employees, accountants and auditors to supply, at the Parent’s principal place of
business, all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders or any such Underwriter,
attorney, accountant or agent in connection with any such Registration Statement as is customary
for similar due diligence examinations; provided, however, that with respect to any
attorney engaged by the Holders or any Underwriter, the foregoing inspection and information
gathering shall be coordinated by one counsel designated by the Holders and one counsel designated
by the Underwriter or Underwriters;



               (iii) in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to such Shelf Registration
Statement, make such representations and warranties to the Underwriters, in form, substance and
scope as are reasonably and customarily made by issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten
offerings and covering matters including, but not limited to, those set forth in the Purchase
Agreement;



               (iv) in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to such Shelf Registration
Statement, use reasonable best efforts to obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and the
Guarantors and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Underwriters, if any) addressed to the Underwriters,
covering such matters concerning the Company and the Guarantors as are customarily covered in
opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested
by such Underwriters;



12









 





               (v) in connection with an underwritten public offering pursuant to such Shelf Registration
Statement, use reasonable best efforts to obtain “comfort” letters and updates thereof from the
independent certified public accountants of the Parent (and, if necessary, any other independent
certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Parent or of any business acquired by the
Parent for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in
the Registration Statement), addressed to the Underwriters, in customary form reasonably acceptable
to such independent certified public accountants and covering matters of the type customarily
covered in “comfort” letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings; and



               (vi) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Managing
Underwriters, including those to evidence compliance with Section 4(k) and with any customary
conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or any other customary agreement entered into by
the Company in connection therewith.


The actions set forth in clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of this paragraph (o) shall be performed
at each closing under any underwriting or similar customary agreement as and to the extent required
thereunder.




          (p) In the case of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors
shall, if requested by an Initial Purchaser, or by a Broker-Dealer that holds Securities that were
acquired as a result of market making or other trading activities:




               (i) subject to the execution of confidentiality agreements reasonably satisfactory to the
Parent, upon reasonable prior written notice and during regular business hours, make reasonably
available for inspection by the requesting party, and any attorney, accountant or other agent
retained by the requesting party, at the Parent’s principal place of business, all relevant
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Parent and its
subsidiaries reasonably requested by the requesting party or any such attorney, accountant or agent
in connection with any such Registration Statement as is customary for similar due diligence
examinations; and



               (ii) subject to the execution of confidentiality agreements reasonably satisfactory to the
Parent, upon reasonable prior written notice and during regular business hours, cause the Parent’s
officers, employees, accountants and auditors to supply, at the Parent’s principal place of
business, all relevant information reasonably requested by the requesting party, and any attorney,
accountant or other agent retained by the requesting party in connection with any such Registration
Statement as is customary for similar due diligence examinations.



          (q) If a Registered Exchange Offer is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Securities by
Holders to the Company (or to such other person as directed by the Company) in exchange for the
Exchange Securities, the Company and the Guarantors shall mark, or caused to be marked, on the
Securities so exchanged that such Securities are being cancelled in exchange for the Exchange
Securities. In no event shall the Securities be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied.




13









 








          (r) In the event that any Broker-Dealer shall underwrite any Securities or participate as a
member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or “assist in the distribution” (within the
meaning of the FINRA Rules) thereof, whether as a Holder of such Securities or as an Underwriter, a
placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company and
the Guarantors shall provide reasonable assistance to such Broker-Dealer in making filings in
accordance with the FINRA Rules.




          (s) The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take
all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Securities or the Exchange Securities,
as the case may be, covered by a Registration Statement.




     5. Registration Expenses. The Company and the Guarantors shall bear all expenses
incurred in connection with the performance of their obligations under Sections 2, 3 and 4 hereof
and, in the event of any Shelf Registration Statement, will reimburse the Holders for the
reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel (which shall initially be Shearman &
Sterling LLP, but which may be another nationally recognized law firm experienced in securities
matters designated by the Majority Holders) in connection with the preparation, filing and
effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders of
the Securities or Exchange Securities being registered shall pay all agency fees and commissions
and underwriting discounts, commissions and costs attributable to the sale of such Registrable
Securities and the fees and disbursements of any counsel or other advisors or experts retained by
or on behalf of such Holders (severally or jointly), other than the counsel specifically referred
to above.



     6. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and
severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Securities or Exchange Securities,
as the case may be, covered by any Registration Statement, each Initial Purchaser and, with respect
to any Prospectus delivery as contemplated in Section 4(h) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer, the
directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents of each such Holder, Initial Purchaser or
Exchanging Dealer and each person who controls any such Holder, Initial Purchaser or Exchanging
Dealer within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against
any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them
may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or
regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any
amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof
or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
(in the case of any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made) not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as
incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided,
however, that the Company and any Guarantor will not be liable in any such case to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to



14









 







the Company or any Guarantor by or on behalf of the party claiming indemnification
specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability
that the Company and any Guarantor may otherwise have.



     The Company and the Guarantors also, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify as provided in
this Section 6(a) or contribute as provided in Section 6(d) hereof to Losses of each Underwriter,
if any, of Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may be, registered under a Shelf
Registration Statement, their directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents and each person
who controls such Underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the
Initial Purchasers and the selling Holders provided in this Section 6(a) and shall, if requested by
any Holder, enter into an underwriting agreement reflecting such agreement, as provided in Section
4(n) hereof.



     (b) Each Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement (including each Initial
Purchaser as a Holder, in such capacity) severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company and the Guarantors, each of their respective directors, officers, employees,
Affiliates and agents and each person who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning
of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the
Company and the Guarantors to each such Holder, but only with reference to written information
relating to such Holder furnished to the Company or any Guarantor by or on behalf of such Holder
specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity
agreement will be in addition to any liability that any such Holder may otherwise have.



     (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 or notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against the indemnifying party under this Section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of
the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve
it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent such failure results in
the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in
any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than
the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party
shall be entitled to appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying party’s choice
at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which
indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible
for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the
indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below);
provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel (including
local counsel) to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have
the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall
bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel
chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with
a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action
include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
parties that are different from or additional to those



15









 







available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within
a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party
shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying
party; provided that, in each case, not more than one such separate counsel shall be employed for
all indemnified parties. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle
or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened
claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought
hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or
action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each
indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding, and
(ii) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to
act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. In addition, no indemnified party shall, without
the written consent of the indemnifying party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed), effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder.



     (d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section is
unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, then each
applicable indemnifying party shall have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the
aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, liability, damage or
action) (collectively “Losses”) to which such indemnified party may be subject in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by such indemnifying party, on the one
hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement and the
Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses; provided, however, that in no
case shall any Initial Purchaser be responsible, in the aggregate, for any amount in excess of the
purchase discount or commission applicable to such Securities, or in the case of an Exchange
Security, as applicable to such Exchange Securities, as set forth in the Final Memorandum, nor
shall any Underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or
commission applicable to the securities purchased by such Underwriter under the Registration
Statement which resulted in such Losses. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding
sentence is unavailable for any reason, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall
contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also
the relative fault of such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the
other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors
shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the Initial Placement (before deducting
expenses) as set forth in the Final Memorandum. Benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall
be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions as set forth on the cover
page of the Final Memorandum, and benefits received by any other Holders shall be deemed to be
equal to the value of receiving Securities or Exchange Securities, as applicable, registered under
the Act. Benefits received by any Underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to the total
underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus forming a
part of the Registration



16









 







Statement which resulted in such Losses. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the
indemnifying party, on the one hand, or by the indemnified party, on the other hand, the intent of
the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such untrue statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated
as one entity for such purpose) or any other method of allocation which does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph
(d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, each person who controls a Holder within the
meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of
such Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls
the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each
director, officer, employee, Affiliate and agent of either the Company or any Guarantor shall have
the same rights to contribution as the Company or any Guarantor, subject in each case to the
applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).



     (e) The provisions of this Section will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or the Company or any Guarantor or any of the
indemnified parties referred to in this Section 6, and will survive the sale by a Holder of
securities covered by a Registration Statement.



     7. Underwritten Registrations. (a) If any of the Securities or Exchange Securities,
as the case may be, covered by any Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten
offering, the Managing Underwriters shall be selected by the Majority Holders, such selection to be
subject to the Company’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed.



     (b) No person may participate in any underwritten offering pursuant to any Shelf Registration
Statement, unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s Securities or Exchange Securities,
as the case may be, on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by
the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; and (ii) completes and executes all
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents
reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.



     8. Registration Defaults and Additional Interest. If (a) the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement has not been filed with the Commission by the 210th calendar day after the
Closing Date, (b) on or prior to the Exchange Date, the Registered Exchange Offer has not been
consummated, (c) on or prior to the 75th day after the filing of a Shelf Registration Statement,
such Shelf Registration Statement has not been declared effective, or (d) after the Shelf
Registration Statement or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has been declared effective,
such Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales
or exchanges of Securities or Exchange Securities in accordance with and during the periods
specified in this Agreement (other than as permitted pursuant to Section 4(c) or Section



17









 




4(k)(ii))(each such event referred to in clauses (a) through (d), (a “Registration Default”),
interest (“Additional Interest”) will accrue, and be paid as liquidated damages, on the principal
amount of the Securities and the Exchange Securities that are not Freely Tradable (“Restricted
Securities”) (in addition to the stated interest on such Restricted Securities) from and including
the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date that is the
earlier of (i) the date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured or (ii) the date such
Restricted Securities become Freely Tradable. Additional Interest will accrue at a rate of 0.25%
per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of such Registration
Default and shall increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in
no event shall such rate exceed 1.00% per annum. If, after the cure of all Registration Defaults
then in effect, there is a subsequent Registration Default, the rate of Additional Interest for
such subsequent Registration Default shall initially be 0.25% regardless of the rate in effect with
respect to any prior Registration Default at the time of cure of such Registration Default.




     All obligations of the Company and the Guarantors set forth in the preceding paragraph that
are outstanding with respect to any Security at the time such Security is exchanged for an Exchange
Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such Security have
been satisfied in full.



     9. No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company and the Guarantors have not entered into,
and agree not to enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with
the rights granted to the Holders herein or that otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.



     10. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended,
qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions
hereof may not be given at any time, unless the Company and the Guarantors have obtained the
written consent of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Registrable
Securities then outstanding; provided that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly
affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company and the Guarantors shall obtain
the written consent of each such Initial Purchaser against which such amendment, qualification,
supplement, waiver or consent is to be effective; provided, further, that no
amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver or consent with respect to Section 8 hereof shall be
effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless consented to in writing by such
Holder; and provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 10 may not be
amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the
provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company and the Guarantors have obtained the written
consent of each Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing (except the foregoing provisos), a waiver or
consent to departure from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively
to the rights of Holders whose Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may be, are being
sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the
rights of other Holders in any material respect may be given by the Majority Holders, determined on
the basis of Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may be, being sold rather than
registered under such Registration Statement.



18









 





     11. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder
shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail, telex, telecopier or air courier
guaranteeing overnight delivery:



          (a) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such holder to the Company in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 11, which address initially is, with respect to each
Holder, the address of such Holder maintained by the registrar under the Indenture;




          (b) if to the Initial Purchasers, initially at the address or addresses set forth in the
Purchase Agreement; and




          (c) if to the Company or any Guarantor, initially at its address set forth in the Purchase
Agreement.




     All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when received.



     The Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors by notice to the other parties may
designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.



     12. Remedies. Each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
provided to it herein, in the Indenture or in the Purchase Agreement (if an Initial Purchaser) or
granted by law, including recovery of liquidated or other damages, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and the Guarantors agree that monetary
damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the
provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance the
defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.



     13. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns, including, without the need for an express
assignment or any consent by the Company or any Guarantor thereto, subsequent Holders of Securities
and the Exchange Securities, and the indemnified persons referred to in Section 6 hereof. The
Company and the Guarantors hereby agree to extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder of
Securities and the Exchange Securities, and any such Holder may specifically enforce the provisions
of this Agreement as if an original party hereto.



     14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
agreement.



     15. Headings. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not
affect the construction hereof.



     16. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the
State of New York. The parties hereto each hereby waive any right to trial by jury in any action,
proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement.



19









 





     17. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained
herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in
every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or
affected thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties shall be
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.



     18. Securities Held by the Company, etc. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders
of a specified percentage of principal amount of Securities or Exchange Securities is required
hereunder, Securities or Exchange Securities, as applicable, held by the Company, the Guarantors or
any of their respective Affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Securities or Exchange
Securities if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be Affiliates solely by reason of their
holdings of such Securities or Exchange Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether
such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

such exchange securities. The Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by
delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter”
within the meaning of the Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to

exchange for securities where such securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities. NII Capital Corp. has agreed that, starting
on the expiration date and ending on the close of business one year after the expiration date, it

ANNEX C




PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION




     Each broker-dealer that receives exchange securities for its own account pursuant to the
exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of
such exchange securities. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time,
may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange securities received in
exchange for securities where such securities were acquired as a result of market-making activities
or other trading activities. NII Capital Corp. has agreed that, beginning on the date of
consummation of the exchange offer and ending on the close of business 180-days after the
consummation of the exchange offer, it will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented,
available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until
_________, ___, all dealers effecting transactions in the exchange securities may be required to
deliver a prospectus.



     The company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of exchange securities by
brokers-dealers. Exchange securities received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to
the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the
over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the exchange
securities or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of
resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale
may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation
in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any
such exchange securities. Any broker-dealer that resells exchange securities that were received by
it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in
a distribution of such exchange securities may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning
of the Act and any profit of any such resale of exchange securities and any commissions or
concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the
Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering
a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the
meaning of the Act.



     For a period of one year after the consummation of the exchange offer, NII Capital Corp. will
promptly send a reasonable number of additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or
supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the Letter of
Transmittal. NII Capital Corp. has agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer
(including the expenses of one counsel for the holder of the securities) other than commissions or
concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the securities (including
any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Act.
