    Ladies
and Gentlemen:

     

    You have
advised Avenue Capital Management II, L.P. (“Avenue Capital”),
acting on behalf of its managed investment funds set forth on the signature page
hereto (collectively, the “Avenue Capital
Funds,” and together with Avenue Capital, “Avenue Capital
Group”) and Solus Core Opportunities Master Fund Ltd (“Core”) or one or more
of its affiliates or co-investors (collectively, the “Core Funds” and
together with Solus Alternative Asset Management LP, “Sola Group”) that
NextWave Wireless Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of
Delaware (the “Parent”), and
NextWave Wireless LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of
the State of Delaware (the “Company”, and
together with the Parent, “you”), are seeking
financing for the Company in light of build-out requirements with respect to
certain spectrum holdings owned by the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the form of
additional senior secured first lien issuances of notes providing aggregate cash
proceeds of up to $25.0 million (the “Incremental
Indebtedness” or the “Financing”).  The
Incremental Indebtedness will be a further issuance of, and part of the same
series of indebtedness of $350 million (original principal amount) of senior
secured notes (the “Existing First Lien
Notes”), that were issued under the Purchase Agreement dated July 17,
2006, governing the Existing First Lien Notes (as amended from time to time, the
“First Lien Purchase
Agreement”), and will be evidenced by notes (collectively, the “Senior Incremental
Notes”) substantially in the form attached as Annex III to the Amendment
and Limited Waiver to the Note Agreements dated as of March 16, 2010 (the “March
Amendment”).  All references to “dollars” or “$” in this agreement
and the attachments and annexes hereto (collectively, this “Commitment Letter”)
are references to United States dollars.

    Commitments.

     

    You have
requested that the Avenue Capital Funds and the Core Funds commit to purchase
the Senior Incremental Notes.  The Avenue Capital Funds and the Core
Funds are pleased to advise you of the Avenue Capital Funds’ commitment to
purchase 80% of the Senior Incremental Notes of the Company and of the Core
Funds’ commitment to purchase 20% of the Senior Incremental Notes of the Company
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this
Commitment Letter. The commitments of the Avenue Capital Funds and the Core
Funds are several and not joint.

     

    The
Avenue Capital Funds’ commitment and the Core Funds’ commitment are subject to
(i) the execution, delivery and effectiveness on the date hereof of the March
Amendment, (ii) the satisfaction, on  and as of each date on which
Senior Incremental Notes are to be issued and purchased (each, a “Purchase Date”) of
the conditions set forth on Annex I hereto, and
(iii) the execution and delivery of the Senior Incremental Notes and related
purchase, guaranty and security documentation substantially in the form of the
Second Lien Incremental Indebtedness Agreement dated as of July 2, 2009 by and
among certain purchasers, the Company, Parent and each Guarantor (the “Incremental
Agreement”) with such changes as are necessary or appropriate to reflect
the issuance of the Senior Incremental Notes (including certain provisions from
the First Lien Purchase Agreement that shall be incorporated mutatis mutandis into such
documentation but excluding (i) the requirements to deliver a solvency opinion,
related certificate and fairness opinion referred to in Sections 4(e), 4(f) and
4(g) of the Incremental Agreement and (ii) the representations and warranties
set forth in Section 4.25 of the First Lien Purchase Agreement) and otherwise in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Avenue Capital Funds and the
Core Funds, in respect of each Purchase Date (collectively with the Senior
Incremental Notes, the “Notes
Documentation”).

     

    Independent
Parties.

     

    Each of
Avenue Capital and Core hereby represents that they are separate and distinct
parties with respect to the Financing and have acted as such when working with
the Company to structure the Financing.  Each of Avenue Capital and
Core hereby confirms that it is making its investment decision independently and
has no agreement with the other party to acquire, hold, vote or dispose of any
securities of the Company.

     

    Information.

     

    You
hereby represent and covenant that (a) all information (other than the financial
projections (the “Projections”)) that
has been made available to Avenue Capital Group and Sola Group by you or any of
your representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby
(the “Information”), when
taken as a whole, is complete and correct in all material respects and does not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which such statements are made, not misleading, (b) the
Projections that have been made available to Avenue Capital Group and Sola Group
by you or any of your representatives in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions
believed by you to be reasonable (it being understood that projections by their
nature are inherently uncertain and no assurances are being given that the
results reflected in the Projections will be achieved) and (c) the Company
individually and the Company and the Guarantors (as defined in the First Lien
Purchase Agreement), taken as a whole on a consolidated basis,

     

    
      
         

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    after
giving effect to (i) the incurrence of all indebtedness and obligations being
incurred in connection herewith and (ii) the March Amendment, will be Solvent
(as defined in the First Lien Purchase Agreement).  By your acceptance
below, you hereby agree to deliver, not later than the Deadline (as hereinafter
defined), to Avenue Capital and Core a solvency certificate from the Company and
the Parent dated on or about the date of this Commitment Letter and addressed to
Avenue Capital and Core, in form, scope and substance satisfactory to Avenue
Capital and Core, with appropriate attachments and demonstrating that after
giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Commitment Letter and the March Amendment, the Company and the Parent, each
individually, and the Parent and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole on a
consolidated basis, will be Solvent (as such term is defined in the First Lien
Purchase Agreement).

     

    Indemnity and
Expenses.

     

    By your
acceptance below, you hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Avenue
Capital, the Avenue Capital Funds, Solus Alternative Asset Management LP (“Solus”), the Core
Funds and each of their respective affiliates (including, without limitation,
controlling persons) and the directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents
of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Person”)
from and against any and all losses, claims, costs, expenses, damages or
liabilities (or actions or other proceedings commenced or threatened in respect
thereof) that arise out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter, the
Senior Incremental Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, and to reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly upon its written
demand for any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with
investigating, preparing to defend or defending against, or participating in,
any such loss, claim, cost, expense, damage, liability or action or other
proceeding (whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party to any action or
proceeding); provided
that any such obligation to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse an
Indemnified Person shall not be applicable to the extent determined by a final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified
Person.

     

    You shall
not be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected without your
written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there shall be a final
judgment against an Indemnified Person, you shall, subject to the proviso in the
preceding sentence, indemnify such Indemnified Person from and against any loss
or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  You shall not,
without the prior written consent of any Indemnified Person, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such
Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (i) includes
an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability or claims
that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a
statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability, or a failure to act by or
on behalf of such Indemnified Person.  None of Avenue Capital, the
Avenue Capital Funds, Solus or the Core Funds shall be responsible or liable to
you or any of your respective subsidiaries, affiliates or stockholders or any
other person or entity for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential
damages which may be alleged as a result of this Commitment Letter, the Senior
Incremental Notes or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby.  In addition, you hereby agree to reimburse Avenue Capital
Group and Sola Group, respectively, upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees of separate
counsel to each of Avenue Capital Group and Sola Group, costs and expenses and
all costs relating to due diligence and the preparation and negotiation of all
documents relating to the transactions contemplated by this

Incremental Notes and the transactions contemplated thereby, and the
preparation, review, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Commitment
Letter and the Notes Documentation and the administration, amendment,
modification or waiver thereof (or any proposed amendment, modification or
waiver), whether or not any of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment
Letter close or any documentation is executed and delivered or any extensions of
credit are made under any portion of the Senior Incremental
Notes.  The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall be in
addition to any rights that any Indemnified Person may have at common law or
otherwise.
