          2. Company Registration.

               (a) Right to Register. Whenever the Company proposes to Register any of its Common Stock
under the Act, whether for its own account, for the account of others or a combination thereof
(other than (i) a Registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, (ii) a Registration
relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction covered by Rule 145 under the Act,
(iii) a Registration in which the only security being Registered is Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of debt or equity securities, including warrants or similar securities convertible
into or exercisable for Common Stock or Common Stock issued to a financial institution in
connection with a customary share lending facility, provided that such Registration is made
pursuant to a “shelf” registration statement on an appropriate form providing for the
Registration of such Common Stock on a delayed or continuous basis in accordance with Rule 415
(or any similar provision that may be adopted by the Commission) under the Act or (iv) a
Registration pursuant to Section 3 hereof), the Company will: (a) give prompt written notice
thereof to each Holder and (b) upon the written request of any such Holder (which request
shall specify the number of Registrable Securities to be disposed of by such Holder) given
within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice from the Company, the Company will,
subject to the provisions of this Section 2, file a registration statement or amendment
covering all of the Registrable Securities that such Holders have requested to be Registered and use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective under the
Act. A Holder’s right to include its Registrable Securities in a Registration under this
Section 2(a) will be conditioned upon the timely provision by such Holder of such information
as the Company may reasonably request relating to the disclosure requirements of Item 507 of
Regulation S-K (or any similar disclosure requirement applicable to such Registration).

4

 

               (b) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company will have the right to terminate,
withdraw or delay any Registration initiated by it under this Section 2 prior to the
effectiveness of such Registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include
Registrable Securities in such Registration. The Company will give written notice of such
determination to each Holder that has elected to include Registrable Securities in such
Registration and, in the case of a determination to terminate or withdraw the registration
statement, the Company will be relieved of its obligation to Register any Registrable
Securities in connection with such registration statement, and in the case of a determination
to delay effectiveness, the Company will be permitted to delay effectiveness for any period.
The expenses of such terminated, withdrawn or delayed Registration will be borne by the
Company.

               (c) Priority on Registrations. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that, in the case of
an underwritten offering, its rights under this Section 2 will be subject to cutback
provisions imposed by a managing underwriter under Section 2(d). If, as a result of the
cutback provisions of the preceding sentence, a Holder is not entitled to include all of its
requested Registrable Securities in such Registration, then such Holder may elect to withdraw
its request to include any or all of its Registrable Securities in such Registration.

               (d) Underwritten Offerings. In the event of an underwritten offering, the Company and
each Holder will make such arrangements with the underwriters so that such Holder may
participate in the offering on the same terms as the Company and any other party selling
securities in such offering. The Company will not be required under this Section 2 to include
any of a Holder’s Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless such Holder accepts the
terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriter or
underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriter or
underwriters) and enters into an underwriting agreement in customary form with an underwriter
or underwriters selected by the Company, and then only in such quantity as the managing
underwriters determine would not reasonably be expected to jeopardize the success of the
offering by the Company (the “Maximum Offering Size”). Notwithstanding any other provision of
this agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing
factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing
underwriter(s) may exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the Registration and
the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in such Registration and the
underwriting will be allocated in the following priority up to the Maximum Offering Size, (i)
first, to the Company for securities that the Company proposes to Register for its own
account; (ii) second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable
Securities in such registration statement and to any other holders of incidental or
“piggyback” registration rights requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement, on a
pari passu basis based upon the Registrable Securities held by such Holder; and (iii) third,
to other securities of the Company to be registered on behalf of any other holder with
priorities among them as the Company shall determine. Any Registrable Securities excluded and
withdrawn from such underwriting will be withdrawn from the Registration. For any Holder that
is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and shareholders of such
Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any
trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons will be deemed to be a single “Holder,”
and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” will be based upon the aggregate
amount of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such “Holder,” as described
in this sentence.

5

 

          3. Demand, Form S-3 and Shelf Registrations.

               (a) Demand Registration.

               (i) Request by Holders. If the Company receives at any time a written request (specifying the
number of Registrable Securities requested to be Registered and the proposed method of distribution
thereof) from an Initiating Holder that the Company file a registration statement under the Act
covering the Registration of all or a portion of such Initiating Holder’s Registrable Securities
pursuant to this
Section 3(a), then the Company will, within ten (10) business days after the
receipt of such written request, give written notice of such request (a “Request Notice”) to all
Holders, and effect, as soon as practicable thereafter (but in no event later than thirty (30) days
after its receipt of such request), the Registration and all such qualifications and compliances as
may be required to facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of the Registrable
Securities as are specified in such request and any additional requests by other Holders received
by the Company within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Request Notice, subject only to the
limitations of this Section 3(a); except that the Registrable Securities requested to be Registered
pursuant to such request must have an anticipated aggregate price to the public (before any
underwriting discounts and commissions) of not less than $50,000,000. A Holder’s right to include
its Registrable Securities in a Registration will be conditioned upon the timely provision by such
Holder of such information as the Company may reasonably request relating to the disclosure
requirements of Item 507 of Regulation S-K (or any similar disclosure requirement applicable to
such Registration).

               (ii) Maximum Number of Demand Registrations. The Company is obligated pursuant to
Section 3(a)(i) to effect only the number of Demand Registrations for each Investor and its
Permitted Transferees (in their capacity as an Initiating Holder) as follows:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Investor	 	Demand Registrations
	Comcast
	 	 	3	 
	TWC
	 	 	2	 
	BHN
	 	 	1	 
	Google
	 	 	2	 
	Intel
	 	 	3	 
	Eagle River
	 	 	3	 
	Sprint
	 	 	8	 

6

 

except, that if more than 15% of any Initiating Holder’s Registrable Securities that were
requested to be included in a Registration demanded by such Initiating Holder pursuant to this
Section 3(a) were not included in such Registration as a result of cutback provisions imposed by
the managing underwriter pursuant to Section 3(d), then such Registration will not count against
such Initiating Holder as a Demand Registration under this Section 3(a)(ii).

               (iii) Postponement of Demand Registration. The Company will be entitled to postpone (but not
more than once in any 12-month period), for a reasonable period of time not in excess of 90 days
(less the number of days the Company has postponed the filing of a registration statement pursuant
to Section 3(b)(iii)), the filing of a registration statement in accordance with this Section 3(a)
or Section 3(b) if the Company notifies the Holders requesting Registration that, in the good faith
judgment of the board of directors of the Company (in consultation with legal counsel and/or an
investment banking firm of recognized national standing), such Registration and offering would
reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect or materially interfere with any bona
fide material financing of the Company or any material transaction under consideration by the
Company or would require disclosure of information that has not been, and is not otherwise required
to be, disclosed to the public, the premature disclosure of which would materially and adversely
affect the Company. Such notice will contain a statement of the reasons for such postponement and
an approximation of the anticipated delay. If the Company so postpones the filing of a registration
statement, the Initiating Holders will have the right to withdraw the request for Registration (and
the Holders who have requested that their Registrable Securities be included in such Registration
may withdraw such Registrable Securities from such Registration) by giving written notice to the
Company within ten (10) days of the anticipated termination date of the postponement period, as
provided in the notice delivered to the Holders and such withdrawn registration will not count as a
Demand Registration.

               (iv) Expenses for Withdrawn Registrations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5(a), the
Company will not be required to pay for any Registration Expenses under this Section 3(a) if the
registration request is subsequently withdrawn (other than in accordance with Section 3(a)(iii)) at
the request of the Initiating Holder, unless such Initiating Holder agrees to forfeit its right to
one (1) Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 3(a); except that if at the time of
such withdrawal, the Initiating Holder has learned of a material adverse change in the condition,
business, or prospects of the Company not actually known to the Initiating Holder at the time of
its request for such Registration and has withdrawn its request for Registration with reasonable
promptness after learning of such material adverse change, then the Initiating Holder will not be
required to pay any of such Registration Expenses nor forfeit any Demand Registration rights
pursuant to this Section 3(a) notwithstanding such withdrawal.

               (v) Effective Period. The Company will be required to maintain the effectiveness of the
registration statement with respect to any Demand Registration for a period of at least 270 days
after the effective date thereof or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities
included in such registration statement have actually been sold, except that the Company will
extend the time period under this Section 3(a)(v) with respect to the length of time that the
effectiveness of such registration statement must be maintained by the amount of time any Holder is required to discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to
any other provision of this Agreement.

7

 

               (vi) No Demand Registration. No Demand Registration will be deemed to have occurred for
purposes of this Section 3(a) if (x) the registration statement relating thereto (i) does not
become effective or (ii) is not maintained effective for the period required pursuant to this
Section 3, or (y) the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration
statement is subject to a stop order, injunction or similar order or requirement of the Commission
during such period, in which case such Initiating Holder will be entitled to an additional Demand
Registration.

               (b) Form S-3 Registration. 

               (i) After the Company is eligible to Register Registrable Securities on Form S-3, each Holder
will have the right to demand that the Company effect one or more Registrations with respect to all
or a part of its Registrable Securities on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance;
except that no such demand right will apply to Registrable Securities having an anticipated
aggregate price to the public (before any underwriting discounts and commissions) of less than
$10,000,000, unless there shall be other Holders who have requested participation in such
Registration who, in the aggregate with the Initiating Holder, shall have proposed Registration of
Registrable Securities having an anticipated aggregate price to the public (before any underwriting
discounts and commissions) of at least $10,000,000. Any demand for Registration under this
Section 3(b)(i) will not be considered a Demand Registration request pursuant to Section 3(a). Upon
receipt of written request, the Company will, as soon as practicable, (i) give a Request Notice
relating to the proposed registration to all other Holders, and (ii) effect such registration and
all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate
the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Initiating Holder’s Registrable Securities
as are specified in such request together with the Registrable Securities requested to be included
by any other Holders who notify the Company in writing within fifteen (15) days after receipt of
such Request Notice from the Company; except that the Company will not be obligated to
effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 3(b) if Form S-3
is not available for such offering.

               (ii) The Company in its sole discretion may condition the inclusion of Registrable Securities
in a Registration under this Section 3(b) upon the timely provision by such Holder of such
information as the Company may reasonably request relating to the disclosure requirements of Item
507 of Regulation S-K (or any similar disclosure requirement applicable to such Registration).

8

 

               (iii) The Company will be entitled to postpone (but not more than once in any 12-month
period), for a reasonable period of time not in excess of 90 days (less the number of days the
Company has postponed the filing of a registration statement pursuant to Section 3(a)(iii)), the
filing of a registration statement in accordance with this Section 3(b) or Section 3(a) if the
Company notifies the Holders requesting Registration that, in the good faith judgment of the board
of directors of the Company (in consultation with legal counsel and/or an investment banking firm
of recognized national standing), such Registration and offering would reasonably be expected to
materially and adversely affect or materially interfere with any bona fide material financing of the Company or any material transaction under consideration by the
Company or would require disclosure of information that has not been, and is not otherwise required
to be, disclosed to the public, the premature disclosure of which would materially and adversely
affect the Company. Such notice will contain a statement of the reasons for such postponement and
an approximation of the anticipated delay. If the Company so postpones the filing of a registration
statement, the Initiating Holder will have the right to withdraw its request for Registration (and
the Holders who have requested that their Registrable Securities be included in such Registration
may withdraw such Registrable Securities from such Registration) by giving written notice to the
Company within ten (10) days of the anticipated termination date of the postponement period, as
provided in the notice delivered to the Holders.

               (c) Shelf Registration.

               (i) Filing of Shelf Registration. As promptly as practicable (but no later than sixty (60)
days) following the Company’s becoming eligible to use Form S-3, the Company shall file a “shelf”
registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) with the Commission on an appropriate
form providing for the Registration and sale on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415
(or any similar provision that may be adopted by the Commission) under the Act by the Holders of
the Registrable Securities from time to time in the manner described in the Shelf Registration
Statement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf
Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Act as promptly as reasonably practicable
following the filing thereof with the Commission, and to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
continuously effective until the date that all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to
the Shelf Registration Statement or another registration statement filed under the Act;
except that the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any such
registration or to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective pursuant to this
Section 3(c) and may suspend the use of the prospectus included therein, if in the good faith
judgment of the board of directors of the Company (in consultation with legal counsel and/or an
investment banking firm of recognized national standing), such Registration and offering would
reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect or materially interfere with any bona
fide material financing of the Company or any material transaction under consideration by the
Company or would require disclosure of information that has not been, and is not otherwise required
to be, disclosed to the public, the premature disclosure of which would materially and adversely
affect the Company; except in no event shall such deferral or suspension, together with any
deferral or suspension under Section 3(a)(iii) and 3(b)(iii) exceed ninety (90) days in any twelve
(12)-month period. The Company shall provide written notice to the Investors prior to such
deferral or suspension, which notice need not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such
suspension. The Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 3(c)(i) may, subject
to the provisions of Section 3(c)(ii), include other securities of the Company with respect to
which registration rights have been or may be granted, and may include securities being sold for
the account of the Company (collectively, “Other Shares”). The Company in its sole discretion may
condition the inclusion of Registrable Securities in a Registration under this Section 3(c) upon
the timely provision by such Holder of such information as the Company may reasonably request
relating to the disclosure requirements of Item 507 of Regulation S-K (or any similar disclosure
requirement applicable to such Registration). The Company will not be obligated to effect any such
registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 3(c) if Form S-3 is not
available for such registration.

9

 

               (ii) For so long as the Holders have the ability to cause a Demand Registration under
Section 3(a) or Section 3(b), upon a written request from an Initiating Holder to effect an
offering under the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Takedown”), the Company will, as soon as
practicable, (x) deliver a Request Notice relating to the proposed Takedown to all other Holders
and (y) promptly (and in any event not later than twenty (20) days after receiving such Initiating
Holder’s request) supplement the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement as would
permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Initiating Holder’s
Registrable Securities as are specified in such request together with the Registrable Securities
requested to be included in such Takedown by any other Holders who notify the Company in writing
within ten (10) business days after receipt of such Request Notice from the Company; except
that the Registrable Securities requested to be offered pursuant to such Takedown must have an
anticipated aggregate price to the public (before any underwriting discounts and commissions) of
not less than $10,000,000. If the Company and/or the holders of any Other Shares request inclusion
of Other Shares in a Takedown, such Other Shares shall be included in the Takedown if, and only if,
inclusion of such Other Shares would not be reasonably likely to delay in any material respect the
timely effectuation of the Takedown or the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Takedown.
In the case of a request for or effectuation of a Takedown, all references in this agreement to
the effective date of a registration statement shall be deemed to refer to the date of pricing of
such Takedown and all references to Registration shall be deemed to refer to the Takedown.

               (d) Underwriting. If an Initiating Holder intends to distribute the Registrable
Securities covered by its request by means of an underwriting, then it will so advise the
Company as a part of such request made pursuant to this Section 3 and the Company will include
such information in the Request Notices referred to in Section 3(a)(i), Section 3(b)(i) or
Section 3(c)(ii), as applicable. The Initiating Holder shall select the institution or
institutions that shall manage or lead such underwriting, subject to the consent of the
Company which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The right of any
Holder to include his, her or its Registrable Securities in such Registration will be
conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such
Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a
majority in interest of the Holders participating in such Registration) to the extent provided
herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting will
enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or
underwriters. Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 3, if the underwriter or
underwriters determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the
number of shares to be underwritten and so advise(s) in writing the Company and the Holders
requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such Registration, then the
underwriter or underwriters may exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the
Registration and underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in such
Registration and underwriting will be allocated in the following priority up to the Maximum
Offering Size, (i) first, to any Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities
in such Registration pursuant to this Section 3, on a pari passu basis based upon the
Registrable Securities held by such Holders, and (ii) second to other holders of securities of
the Company, with priorities among them as the Company shall so determine. If, as a result of
the cutback provisions of the preceding sentence, a Holder is not entitled to include all of
its requested Registrable Securities in such Registration, then the Holder may elect to withdraw its request to include any or all of
its Registrable Securities in such Registration. Any Registrable Securities excluded and
withdrawn from such underwriting will be withdrawn from the Registration.

10

 

               (e) No Registrations if Effective Shelf. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary
in this agreement, if, prior to any request for registration pursuant to Section 3(a) or
Section 3(b) with respect to a Holder’s Registrable Securities, (i) the Company shall have
filed a Shelf Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, (ii) such Shelf
Registration Statement shall have registered for resale by the requesting Holders such
Registrable Securities, (iii) the plan of distribution set forth in such Shelf Registration
Statement includes underwritten offerings and (iv) the Shelf Registration Statement is
effective when the requesting Holders would otherwise make a request for registration under
Section 3(a) or Section 3(b), as applicable, the Company shall not be required to separately
register any Registrable Securities in response to such request, and such request shall be
deemed to be a request that the Company cooperate in effecting a Takedown of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement.

               (f) No Registrations During Adjustment Period. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary in this Agreement, no demand may be made nor shall the Company be required to file
any Registration Statement under this Section 3 at any time during the period that Investors
are prohibited from transferring Registrable Securities under Section 3.11 of the
Equityholders’ Agreement.

          4. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required to effect the
Registration of any Registrable Securities under the Act as provided in Section 2 and Section 3
hereof, the Company will effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities
in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the
Company will cooperate in the sale of the securities and will, as expeditiously as possible (to the
extent applicable, in the case of a Takedown):

               (a) Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement or registration
statements on such form which will be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by
the Company or the selling Holders in accordance with the intended method or methods of
distribution thereof, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration
statement to become effective and to remain effective as provided herein; except that
before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto
(including documents that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference), the Company will furnish or otherwise make available to the Holders who are
including Registrable Securities in such registration statement, their counsel and the
managing underwriters, if any, copies of all disclosures relating to such Holders and required
by Item 507 of Regulation S-K (or any similar successor requirement), which documents will be
subject to the reasonable review and comment of such counsel, and, if requested by such
counsel, provide such counsel reasonable opportunity to conduct a reasonable investigation
within the meaning of the Act, including reasonable access to the Company’s books and records,
officers, accountants and other advisors. The Company will not include any information
relating to a Holder in any such registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto (including such documents that, upon filing, would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) with
respect to a Registration pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 to which the Holder (if such
registration statement includes Registrable Securities of the Holder) reasonably objects, in
writing, on a timely basis, unless, in the opinion of the Company, the inclusion of such
information is necessary to comply with applicable law. It shall be deemed a reasonable
review and comment opportunity if such counsel shall have submitted comments, which shall be
limited to comments on disclosure relating directly to the affected Holder or Holders, or
failed to submit comments, in each case, within
five (5) business days following receipt of
the relevant documents by such Holder.

11

 

               (b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to
each registration statement as may be necessary to keep such registration statement
continuously effective during the period provided herein and comply in all material respects
with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by
such registration statement; and cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any
prospectus supplement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with
respect to the disposition of the securities covered by such registration statement, and as so
supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under
the Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled at all reasonable times
to suspend a registration statement that includes Registrable Securities during the pendency
of any amendments required by this Section 4(b). Such suspension or suspensions shall be
effective upon the transmittal of notice to an affected Holder in compliance with, and using
the most expeditious practical means of communication permitted by, Section 11 below.

               (c) Notify each selling Holder and the managing underwriters, if any, promptly, and (if
requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing, (i) when a prospectus or any
prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a
registration statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective,
(ii) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for
amendments or supplements to a registration statement or related prospectus or for additional
information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of a registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that
purpose, (iv) if at any time the representations and warranties of the Company contained in
any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 4(o) below cease
to be true and correct, (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to
the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for such purpose, and (vi) of the happening of any event that makes any statement made in such
registration statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making
of any changes in such registration statement, prospectus or documents so that, in the case of
the registration statement, it will not contain any 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, not misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

12

 

               (d) Use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of any order suspending the
effectiveness of a registration statement or any suspension of the qualification (or exemption
from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or, if
issued, to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of any such order or suspension as promptly as
practicable.

               (e) If requested by the managing underwriters, if any, or the Holders of a majority of
the then outstanding Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an underwritten
offering, promptly include in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such
information as the managing underwriters, if any, or such Holders may reasonably request in
order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make all required
filings of such prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable
after the Company has received such request, including without limitation, with respect to any
hedging activity associated with the Registrable Securities; except that the Company
will not be required to take any actions under this Section 4(e) that are not in compliance
with applicable law.

               (f) Furnish or make available to each selling Holder, and each managing underwriter
acquiring from or selling on behalf of such Holder, if any, without charge, at least one
conformed copy of the registration statement, the prospectus and prospectus supplements, if
applicable, and each post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements (but
excluding schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference, and all exhibits, unless requested in writing by such Holder, counsel or
underwriter). To the extent electronic prospectus delivery is permitted under the Act, any
delivery of conformed prospectuses, registration statements, and supplements and amendments
thereto, required by any paragraph of this Section 4, may be delivered by electronic means so
long as the form of delivery can reasonably be expected to permit such Holder or Holders, and
such underwriter or underwriters, if any, to satisfy their respective prospectus delivery
obligations arising under the Act or otherwise. The Company’s electronic delivery pursuant to
the preceding sentence is conditioned upon an undertaking by the Company to deliver, to the
extent required under the Act, paper copies of all such documents upon request by a Person
acquiring or proposing to acquire such securities.

               (g) Deliver to each selling Holder, and the underwriters, if any, without charge, as many
copies of the prospectus or prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each
amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request in connection with the
distribution of the Registrable Securities; and the Company, subject to the last paragraph of
this Section 4, hereby consents to the use of such prospectus and each amendment or supplement
thereto by each of the selling Holders and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the
offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such prospectus and any such
amendment or supplement thereto.

13

 

               (h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable
efforts to Register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders, the underwriters, if
any, and their respective counsel in connection with the Registration or qualification (or
exemption from such Registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer
and sale under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United
States as any selling Holder or underwriter reasonably requests in writing and to keep each
such Registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such
registration statement is required to be kept effective and to take any other action that may
be necessary or advisable to enable such selling Holders to consummate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities in such jurisdiction; except that the Company will not be
required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so
qualified, (ii) take any action that would subject it to material taxation or general service
of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject, or (iii) consent to
general service of process in any such jurisdiction.

               (i) Cooperate with the selling Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any legends)
representing Registrable Securities to be sold after receiving written representations from
each relevant Holder that the Registrable Securities represented by the certificates so
delivered by such Holder will be transferred in accordance with the relevant registration
statement and only upon satisfaction of any prospectus delivery requirement arising under the
Act or otherwise, and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and
registered in such names as the managing underwriters, if any, or such Holder may request at
least two (2) business days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities.

               (j) Use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by
the registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental
agencies or authorities within the United States, except as may be required solely as a
consequence of the nature of such selling Holders’ business, in which case the Company will
cooperate in all reasonable respects with the filing of such registration statement and the
granting of such approvals, as may be necessary to enable such Holder or Holders thereof or
the underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

               (k) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4(c)(ii), 4(c)(iii),
4(c)(iv), 4(c)(v) or 4(c)(vi) above, prepare as promptly as practicable a supplement or
post-effective amendment to the registration statement or a supplement to the related
prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or
file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the
Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such prospectus will not contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

               (l) Prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to the Registrable
Securities, provide a CUSIP number for the Registrable Securities.

14

 

               (m) Provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement from and after a date not later than the
effective date of such registration statement.

               (n) Use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all shares of Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement to be authorized to be listed on a national securities
exchange if shares of the particular class of Registrable Securities are at that time, or will
be immediately following the offering, listed on such exchange.

               (o) In connection with any underwritten offering, enter into such agreements (including
an underwriting agreement in form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten
offerings) and take all such other actions reasonably requested by the managing underwriters
to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in such
connection, (i) make such representations and warranties to the underwriters with respect to
the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the registration statement, prospectus
and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each
case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers in underwritten
offerings, and, if true, confirm the same if and when requested, (ii) furnish to the
underwriters and selling Holders opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which
counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) will be reasonably satisfactory to the
managing underwriters), addressed to each of the underwriters and selling Holders covering the
matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other
matters as may be reasonably requested by such underwriters, (iii) use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain comfort letters and updates thereof from the independent registered public
accounting firm of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent registered public
accounting firms of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company
for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the
registration statement) who have certified the financial statements included in such
registration statement, addressed to each of the underwriters and selling Holders, such
letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in
comfort letters in connection with underwritten offerings, (iv) if an underwriting agreement
is entered into, the same will contain indemnification provisions and procedures substantially
to the effect set forth in Section 7 hereof with respect to all parties to be indemnified
pursuant to said Section except as otherwise agreed by the Initiating Holders and (v) deliver
such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriters to
evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties made pursuant to
Section 4(o)(i) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in
the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company.

               (p) Make available for inspection by a representative of the selling Holders, any
underwriter participating in any such disposition of Registrable Securities, if any, and any
attorneys, accountants or other professionals retained by such selling Holders or underwriter,
at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, all financial and other
records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, and
cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to supply all
information in each case reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, attorney, accountant or other professionals in connection
with such registration statement. If so requested in writing by the Company, the Company’s
obligation to disclose information pursuant to the preceding sentence is conditioned upon the
execution and delivery by each Person receiving such disclosure of an agreement satisfactory
to the Company as to form relating to such Person’s obligation to refrain from disclosing
same.

15

 

               (q) Cause its officers to use commercially reasonable efforts to support the marketing of
the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement (including, without
limitation, participation in “road shows” and appearing before analysts and rating agencies)
taking into account the Company’s business needs.

               (r) Cooperate with each selling Holder and each underwriter or agent participating in the
disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any
filings required to be made with FINRA.

               (s) Otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders earnings statements
satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 thereunder, as soon as
reasonably practicable, but not more than 45 days after the end of any 12-month period (or 90
days, if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in
which Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters in an underwritten public offering or
(ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day of the
Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the registration
statement, which statements will cover the 12-month periods.

The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company in writing such
information pursuant to Item 507 of
Regulation S-K (or any similar disclosure requirement
applicable to such Registration) required in connection with such Registration regarding such
Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may, from time to
time, reasonably request in writing and the Company may exclude from such Registration the
Registrable Securities of any Holder who unreasonably fails to furnish such information within
a reasonable time after receiving such request.

Each Holder agrees if such Holder has Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of
the kind described in Section 4(c)(ii), 4(c)(iii), 4(c)(iv), 4(c)(v), 4(c)(vi) or 4(e) hereof,
such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities covered by
such registration statement or prospectus until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4(k) hereof, or until it is advised
in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed, and has
received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated by reference in such prospectus; except that the Company will extend
the time periods under Section 2 and Section 3 with respect to the length of time that the
effectiveness of a registration statement must be maintained by the amount of time such Holder is required to discontinue disposition of such Registrable
Securities.

16

 

          5. Registration Expenses; Delay.

               (a) Expenses of Company Registration. The Company will pay (i) all of the Registration
Expenses and (ii) all transfer taxes and brokerage and underwriters’ discounts and commissions
attributable to the securities being sold by the Company. Each Holder will pay all transfer
taxes and brokerage and underwriters’ discounts and commissions attributable to the
Registrable Securities being sold by such Holder.

               (b) Delay of Registration. No Holder will have any right to obtain or seek an injunction
restraining or otherwise delaying any Registration as the result of any controversy that might
arise with respect to the interpretation of this agreement.

          6. Holdback Agreement.

               (a) In the case of an underwritten offering of securities by the Company (which, for
purposes of this Section 6 shall include an underwritten Takedown but shall not include the
effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement in the absence of an underwritten Takedown)
with respect to which the Company has complied with its obligations hereunder, each Holder
agrees, if and to the extent (i) requested by the managing underwriter of such underwritten
offering and (ii) all of the Company’s executive officers and directors execute agreements
identical to those referred to in this Section 6, that it shall not during the period
beginning on, and ending ninety (90) days (subject to one extension of no more than 17 days if
required by the underwriters in connection with FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) or any similar or
successor provision) (or such shorter period as may be permitted by such managing underwriter)
after, the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such
Registration (the “Holdback Period”), except for Registrable Securities included in such
Registration, (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to
purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to
purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common
Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock held
immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for such offering, or
(ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part,
any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such
transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock
or other securities, in cash or otherwise; provided, however, that such restrictions shall not
apply to (1) any such sales, purchases, grants, transfers, dispositions or arrangements to
settle or otherwise close any hedging instruments that were outstanding prior to the beginning
of the Holdback Period unless the Holder of such Registrable Securities had proposed to sell
Registrable Securities in the offering or (2) (A) any disposition by Intel of the shares of
the Company’s Common Stock that Intel received as Merger Consideration as defined in and
pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Transaction Agreement in exchange for its shares of Clearwire
common stock or (B) any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding entered into by
Intel with respect to the hedging of such shares. No Holder subject to this Section 6 (or any
officer and/or director of the Company bound by these restrictions as required by this Section 6) shall
be released from any obligation under any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into
pursuant to or contemplated by this Section 6 unless all Holders are also released from their
obligations under Section 6(a). In the event of any such release the Company shall notify the
Holders of any such release within three (3) business days after such release. If requested by
the managing underwriter, each Holder shall enter, and shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to ensure that each Affiliate of such Holder holding Registrable Securities enters,
into a lock-up agreement with the applicable underwriters that is consistent with the
agreement in the preceding sentence.

17

 

               (b) In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop transfer
instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder (and the shares or
securities of every other Person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such
period.

               (c) Each Holder agrees that a legend reading substantially as follows shall be placed on
all certificates representing all Registrable Securities of such Holder (and the shares or
securities of every other Person subject to the restriction contained in this Section 6):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE SUBJECT TO A LOCK-UP
PERIOD OF UP TO 90 DAYS (OR LONGER, IF EXTENDED) AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF
THE ISSUER’S REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED, AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE
ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE
ISSUER’S PRINCIPAL OFFICE. SUCH LOCK-UP PERIOD IS BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF
THESE SHARES.

               (d) In the case of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to
Section 3(a) or Section 3(b) or an underwritten Takedown pursuant to Section 3(c), the Company
agrees, if and to the extent requested by the managing underwriter of such underwritten
offering, not to effect (or Register for sale) any public sale or distribution of any shares
of Class A Common Stock for the Company’s own account during the period beginning on, and
ending ninety (90) days (subject to one extension of no more than 17 days if required by the
underwriters in connection with FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) or any similar or successor provision)
(or such shorter period as may be permitted by such managing underwriter) after, the effective
date of the registration statement filed in connection with such Registration, except for
securities of the Company to be offered for the Company’s account in such underwritten
offering. If requested by the managing underwriter, the Company shall enter into a lock-up
agreement with the applicable underwriters that is consistent with the agreement in the
preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may effect a public sale or
distribution of Class A Common Stock and other securities for the Company’s own account during
the period described above (i) pursuant to Registrations on Forms S-4 or S-8 or any successor registration forms or (ii) as part of any Registration of securities for offering and
sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock plan or other benefit plan
arrangement.

18

 

          7. Indemnification.

               (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law,
each Holder, its directors and officers and each Person who controls such Holder (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and any of such Holder’s
agents or representatives, its legal counsel and accountants, any underwriter and any
controlling Person of such underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and its legal counsel against all losses, liabilities,
claims, damages and expenses (“Losses”) caused by or relating to (A) any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement relating to
Registrable Securities, or any prospectus, preliminary prospectus, summary or free writing
prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement to any of the foregoing or any omission or
alleged omission of material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in
any information furnished in writing to the Company or any underwriter by such Holder
expressly for use therein or (B) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Act,
the Exchange Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the
Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities laws in connection with the sale of securities
by such Holder pursuant to any registration statement in which such Holder is participating,
and the Company, in each case, will reimburse each such Holder, officer, director, controlling
Person or other aforementioned Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
them in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses or action as such expenses
are incurred; except that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7 will not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any such Losses if such settlement is effected without the
consent of the Company (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned).

               (b) Each Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement,
severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Company,
its directors and officers and each Person who controls Company (within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), any of the Company’s agents or
representatives, its legal counsel and accountants, any underwriter and any controlling Person
of such underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act) and each other Holder, against any Losses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of material fact contained in the registration statement relating to Registrable
Securities, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, summary or free writing prospectus, or any
amendment thereof or supplement to any of the foregoing or any omission or alleged omission of
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any
information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in such
registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities, and each such
Holder will reimburse any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 7(b) for
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with investigating or defending any such
Losses or action as such expenses are incurred; except that (i) the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 7(b) will not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if
such settlement is made without the consent of such Holder, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (ii) the obligations of such Holder
hereunder will be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder from the sale
of its Registrable Securities in the transaction giving rise to the Losses.

19

 

               (c) The indemnification provided for under this agreement will remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (as
defined herein) or any officer, director, or controlling Person of such Indemnified Party and
will survive the transfer of Registrable Securities.

               (d) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 (the “Indemnified Party”)
will give written notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying
Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which
indemnity may be sought, and will permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any
such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; except that counsel for the
Indemnifying Party, who will conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting
therefrom, will be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval will not unreasonably be
withheld, conditioned or delayed), and the Indemnifying Party shall assume payment of all fees
and expenses of such counsel. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right
to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have
mutually agreed to retention of such counsel or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of such
Indemnified Party representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due
to actual or potential differing interests between them. The failure of any Indemnified Party to
give notice as provided herein or the information required by the last sentence of this
Section 7(d) will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 7
unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. No
Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, will, except with the
consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
to such Indemnified Party of a release of such Indemnified Party from all liability in respect
to such claim or litigation. The Indemnified Party will furnish such information regarding
itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and
as will be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation
resulting therefrom.

               (e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses, then the
Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, will contribute
to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the
one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other, in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations;
except that in no event will any contribution by a Holder under this Section 7(e) exceed the net proceeds to such Holder from the sale of
Registrable Securities in the transaction giving rise to the Losses. The relative fault of the
Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party will be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or
by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

20

 

               (f) The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Losses referred
to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. 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. Each Holder’s obligation to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 is
several in the proportion that the proceeds of the offering received by such Holder bears to
the total proceeds of the offering received by all such Holders and not joint.

               (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification
and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with any
underwritten public offering contemplated by this agreement are in conflict with the foregoing
provisions, the provisions in such underwriting agreement will be controlling as among the
parties thereto.

               (h) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 7 will survive the
completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under
Section 2 or Section 3 and otherwise.

          8. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules
and regulations of the Commission which may permit the sale of restricted securities to the public
without Registration the Company agrees to:

               (a) keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule
144, at all times; and

               (b) so long as any Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder upon
request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting
requirements of Rule 144, and of the Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become
subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report
of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed as such Holder may reasonably
request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to
sell any such securities without Registration.

          9. Rights Granted to Other Investors. The Company will not grant any registration
rights relating to its securities after the date hereof without the written consent of the
Investors unless the priority provisions of Section 2(d) and Section 3(d) continue to apply.

21

 

          10. Termination. The registration rights set forth in this agreement will terminate
upon the transfer or assignment of all of the Registrable Securities held by all Holders to parties
who are not Permitted Transferees. Upon termination pursuant to this Section 10, the Company will
no longer be obligated to provide notice of a proposed Registration.

          11. Notices. All communications provided for hereunder will be personally delivered or
sent by registered or certified mail, nationally recognized overnight courier or facsimile and (a)
if addressed to a Holder, addressed to the Holder at the postal mail address or fax number set
forth beside such Holder’s signature, or at such other postal address or fax number as such Holder
will have furnished to the Company in writing or (b) if addressed to the Company, to the postal
address or fax number set forth beside the Company’s signature or at such other address or fax
number, or to the attention of such other officer, as the Company will have furnished to Holder in
writing. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this agreement will be
in writing and will be deemed effectively given: (w) when personally delivered to the party to be
notified; (x) when sent by confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the
recipient or, if not, then on the next business day, as long as a copy of the notice is also sent
via nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written
verification of receipt; (y) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (z) one business day after deposit with a nationally
recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.

          12. No Assignment. This agreement is personal to the Investors and will not be
assignable to any third party, except as set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an
Investor may assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder to one or more Permitted Transferees
of such Investor and any Permitted Transferee will be entitled to the rights granted hereunder,
provided that the Company is given written notice at the time of said transfer or assignment
identifying the name and address of the Permitted Transferee and that the Permitted Transferee
assumes in writing the obligations of an Investor under this agreement.

          13. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several sections and
paragraphs of this agreement are inserted for reference only and will not limit or otherwise affect
the meaning hereof.

          14. Governing Law. This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the state of New York without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict
of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws
of another jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents
to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United
States of America located in the county of New York for any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any
action or proceeding relating thereto except in such courts), and further agrees that service of
any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to its respective address set
forth beside such party’s signature shall be effective service of process for any action or
proceeding brought against it in any such court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of this agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in
the courts of the state of New York.

22

 

          15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATE HEREBY.

          16. No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not on or after the date of this
agreement enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that conflicts with or would
limit the rights granted to the Holders in this agreement or otherwise conflicts with the
provisions hereof.

          17. Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this agreement may be amended and the
observance of any term may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively) only upon the written consent of the Company and Investors holding
greater than 662/3% of the Registrable Securities then held by the Investors;
except that no amendment may (i) disproportionately adversely affect any Investor as
compared to the other Investors, (ii) reduce the number of Demand Registrations available to such
Investor or (iii) change any Investor’s obligations under Section 6, in each case without the
consent of such Investor. The failure of any party to insist on or to enforce strict performance by
the other parties of any of the provisions of this agreement or to exercise any right or remedy
under this agreement will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of that
party’s right to assert or rely on any provisions, rights or remedies in that or any other
instance; rather, the provisions, rights and remedies will remain in full force and effect.

          18. Entire Agreement. This agreement is intended by the parties to be a complete and
exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the
subject matter contained herein and the registration rights granted by the Company with respect to
the Registrable Securities. This agreement supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings among
the parties with respect to such registration rights. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, (i) Intel acknowledges and agrees that its rights under this agreement supersede and
replace its and its subsidiaries’ registration rights under (w) that certain Investor Rights
Agreement, dated as of August 29, 2006, by and among the Company, Intel and Motorola, Inc. and (x)
that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2004 by and between the Company
and the investors identified on Exhibit A thereto (the “2004 Agreement”) and (ii) Eagle River
acknowledges and agrees that its rights under this agreement supersede and replace its and its
subsidiaries’ rights under (y) that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of November 13,
2003, by and among Flux U.S. Corporation, Flux Fixed Wireless, LLC, Clearwire Holdings, Inc. and
Hispanic Information and Telecommunications Network and (z) the 2004 Agreement.

          19. Specific Performance. Without limiting the rights of each party hereto to pursue
all other legal and equitable rights available to such party for any other parties’ failure to
perform their obligations under this agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the
remedy at law for any failure to perform their obligations hereunder would be inadequate and that
each of them, respectively, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be entitled to
specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies in the event of any such
failure, without bond or other security being required.

23

 

          20. 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 parties shall negotiate in good faith with a view to the
substitution therefor of a suitable and equitable solution in order to carry out, so far as may be
valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid provision, provided, however, that
the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the
remaining provisions contained herein shall not be in any way impaired thereby, it being intended
that all of the rights and privileges of the parties hereto shall be enforceable to the fullest
extent permitted by law.

          21. Counterparts. This agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of
counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all such counterparts will together
constitute one and the same instrument.

24

 

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this agreement to be executed and delivered as of
the date first above written.

Wireless Broadband Business and hold all of its assets related to the Wireless Broadband Business,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired (other than the proceeds of any distributions from the LLC
permitted under this Agreement and any earnings thereon), through the LLC and the Subsidiaries of
the LLC.

     2.8. Powers of the LLC. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the
LLC will possess and may exercise all of the powers and privileges granted to it by the Act, by any
other Law and this Agreement, together with all powers incidental thereto, to the extent those
powers are necessary or convenient to conduct, promote or attain the purpose of the LLC set forth
in Section 2.6.

     2.9. Members; Admission of New Members. The Members of the LLC as of the date hereof
are listed on Exhibit B. The rights and liabilities of the Members are as provided in the
Act, except as is otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. A Person may be admitted from
time to time as a new Member solely in accordance with Section 8.5. Each new Member will execute
an appropriate supplement to this Agreement by which the new Member agrees to be bound by the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time.

     2.10. Withdrawal. No Member may withdraw as a Member of the LLC other than following
the Transfer or exchange (as part of an Exchange Transaction) of all Units owned by such Member in
accordance with Article VIII, except that a new Managing Member or substitute Managing
Member may be admitted to the LLC in accordance with Section 8.5.

ARTICLE III

MANAGEMENT

     3.1. Managing Member.

     (a) The business, property and affairs of the LLC will be managed under the sole,
absolute and exclusive direction of the Managing Member, which may from time to time
delegate authority to officers or to others to act on behalf of the LLC.

4

 

     (b) without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1, the Managing Member
will have the general power to manage or cause the management of the LLC, which may be
delegated to officers of the LLC, including, without limitation, the following powers:

     (i) to develop and prepare a business plan each year setting forth the
operating goals and plans for the LLC;

     (ii) to execute and deliver or to authorize the execution and delivery of
contracts, deeds, leases, licenses, instruments of transfer and other documents on
behalf of the LLC;

     (iii) to employ, retain, consult with and dismiss personnel;

     (iv) to establish and enforce limits of authority and internal controls with
respect to all personnel and functions;

     (v) to engage attorneys, consultants, accountants, investment bankers and other
professionals for the LLC;

     (vi) to develop or cause to be developed accounting procedures for the
maintenance of the LLC’s books of account; and

     (vii) to do all such other acts as may be authorized in this Agreement or by
the Members in writing from time to time.

     (c) The Managing Member will be organized under the Laws of the United States or any
political subdivision thereof.

     3.2. Compensation. In consideration for the services provided by the Company to the
LLC in its capacity as Managing Member and the other benefits afforded to the LLC and its Members
by the Company, the LLC will make payments in cash to the Company (without duplication of any
expenses of the LLC paid directly by the LLC or reimbursed to the Company pursuant to Section 3.3),
at such times and in such amounts as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Company to timely
pay all payables, fees and expenses incurred by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries (other than
the LLC and its Subsidiaries), except to the extent that the Company reasonably determines in good
faith that such payables, fees, and expenses are attributable to Other Business Activities
(“Excluded Amounts”). For this purpose, the Members acknowledge that it is to the LLC’s
benefit, in terms of stricter internal controls, more thorough financial reporting, lower cost of
capital and other reasons, to maintain the Company as a corporation registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and traded on a national securities exchange. Given the foregoing and for
avoidance of doubt, and by way of illustration, payables, fees and expenses of the Company include:
(i) the
Company’s overhead, legal, accounting, investment banking and other professional fees and
expenses (provided that investment banking fees incurred by Clearwire and/or Clearwire Sub LLC with
respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement in the amounts referenced in
Section 6.19 of the Transaction Agreement shall be paid directly by Clearwire Sub LLC and shall not
be subject to the provisions of this Section 3.2), including any judgments, settlements, penalties,
fines or other costs and expenses in respect of any claims against, or any litigation or
proceedings involving the Company, the LLC or any of the LLC’s Subsidiaries; (ii) fees and expenses
of the Company related to any securities offering, investment or acquisition (whether or not
successful) authorized by the Company Board and any costs or expenses associated with being a
public company listed on a national securities exchange; (iii) Taxes other than any Covered Tax
Liability; and (iv) fees and expenses payable by the Company in connection with the implementation
and maintenance of any Incentive Plan and the issuance of Class A Common Stock or other capital
stock under such Incentive Plan (whether by the exercise of a stock option, the grant of a
restricted share award or otherwise), in each case, to the extent such amounts are not Excluded
Amounts. For the avoidance of doubt, the LLC shall have no obligation to make any payments
pursuant to this Section 3.2 in respect of Excluded Amounts. Payments made by the LLC to the
Company under this Section 3.2 will be treated as guaranteed payments to a partner under Code
Section 707(c).

5

 

     3.3.  Expenses; Reimbursement. The LLC will to the maximum extent possible pay
directly all expenses incurred through its own acts or through acts of the Managing Member on
behalf of the LLC in its capacity as the Managing Member. To the extent the Managing Member pays
any such expenses as agent on behalf of the LLC, the LLC shall promptly reimburse the Managing
Member upon invoicing of the same. The Managing Member is authorized to incur expenses jointly on
behalf of the LLC and for its own account and to pay the LLC’s share of such expenses on the LLC’s
behalf, and shall be entitled to reimbursement of the same as provided in this Section 3.3.
Whenever such joint expenses are incurred, the Managing Member shall notify the vendor of the same,
and the Managing Member shall have no liability for the LLC’s share of the expense other than from
funds provided by the LLC for the payment of those expenses.

     3.4. Officers. Subject to the direction of the Managing Member, the day-to-day
administration of the business of the LLC may be carried out by employees and agents of the
Managing Member who may be designated as officers of the LLC or any of its Subsidiaries by the
Managing Member, with titles including “chief executive officer,” “president,” “vice president,”
“treasurer,” “assistant treasurer,” “secretary,” “assistant secretary,” “general manager,” “senior
managing director,” “managing director,” “general counsel,” “director” and “chief financial
officer,” as and to the extent authorized by the Managing Member. The officers of the LLC will
have the titles and powers and perform the duties determined from time to time by the Managing
Member and otherwise as customarily pertain to such offices. Any number of offices may be held by
the same person. All officers will be subject to the supervision and direction of the Managing
Member and may be removed from office by the Managing Member and the authority, duties or
responsibilities of any officer of the LLC may be modified or suspended by the Managing Member from
time to time, in each case in the sole discretion of the Managing Member.

     3.5. Authority of Members. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Units
do not confer any rights on the Members to participate in the conduct, control or management of the
business of the LLC described in this Agreement, which conduct, control and management is vested
exclusively in the Managing Member. Except as required by Law, or as expressly provided in (i)
this Agreement, (ii) the Equityholders’ Agreement, or (iii) another separate written agreement with
the LLC, which has been approved by a majority of the Independent Designees of the Managing Member,
and all of the Members, no Member other than the Managing Member (and acting in that capacity) will
take any part in the management or control of the operation or business of the LLC
in its capacity as a Member, nor will any Member other than the Managing Member (and acting in
that capacity) have any right, authority or power to act for or on behalf of or bind the LLC in his
or its capacity as a Member in any respect.

     3.6. Action by Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the
Members under this Agreement will be taken if all Members holding Voting Units entitled to vote on
such action consent thereto in writing.

ARTICLE IV

DISTRIBUTIONS AND LOANS

     4.1. Distributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Article IV, distributions
will be made by the LLC to the Members from time to time and in such amounts as are determined by
the Managing Member in its discretion, pro rata in accordance with the Members’ respective
Percentage Interests at the record date for the distribution.

     4.2. Liquidation Distributions. Notwithstanding Section 4.1, distributions made on
the occurrence of a Dissolution Event will be made as provided in Section 9.3.

     4.3. Limitations on Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Managing Member will not cause the LLC to make a distribution to
any Member

     (a) unless a corresponding distribution or dividend has been paid by the Company or
declared by the Company Board, with a record date that is prior to or the same as the
record date of the distribution by the LLC to the Members, with respect to the Class A
Common Stock or other securities of the Company that are entitled to receive dividends or
other distributions in accordance with the Charter or other relevant organizational
documents; provided that the LLC shall be entitled to pay the following distributions
without any requirement that the Company declare a corresponding dividend or other
distribution with respect to any shares or equity securities:

     (i) any distribution made under Section 4.4(a), Section 7.4(b) or Section
9.3, and

     (ii) any distribution under Section 4.1 used by the Company to pay or to
establish reserves for payment of Excluded Amounts;

     or

     (b) if the distribution would violate the Act or other Law.

     4.4. Distributions for Taxes of the Company; Tax Loan to Sprint.

     (a) Three Business Days prior to

     (i) each date on which the Company is required to

               (A) make a deposit of U.S. federal estimated Taxes,

               (B) make a payment of U.S. federal Taxes in connection with the filing, or the
extension of the date for filing, of a U.S. federal Tax Return with respect to a Taxable
Year (other than a U.S. federal Tax Return filed in connection with the deposit of U.S.
federal estimated Taxes) or

               (C) make a payment with respect to an assessment of U.S. federal Taxes not described in
clause (A) or clause (B) above (each of clauses (A)-(C), a “Federal Tax Payment”)
and

7

 

     (ii) each date on which the Company is required to

               (A) make a deposit of state estimated Taxes,

               (B) make a payment of state Taxes in connection with the filing, or the extension of
the date for filing, of a state Tax Return with respect to a Taxable Year (other than a
state Tax Return filed in connection with the deposit of state estimated Taxes) or

               (C) make a payment with respect to an assessment of state Taxes not described in clause
(A) or clause (B) above (each of clauses (A)-(C), a “State Tax Payment”),

the Managing Member will cause the LLC to make distributions to the Members pro rata in accordance
with the Members’ respective Percentage Interests (determined as of the date set forth in clauses
(v), (w), (x), (y) and (z) below) in amounts so that the aggregate portion distributed to the
Company and its Company Disregarded Subsidiaries in each instance will be the amount required to
provide the Company with the funds necessary to pay all Taxes then reasonably determined by the
Company to be payable (or reasonably expected, within three Business Days after such distribution,
to become payable) by the Company with respect to its distributive share of the LLC’s taxable
income (including any items of income, gain, loss or deduction allocated to the Company under
principles of Code Section 704(c)), after taking into account all net operating loss deductions and
other Tax benefits reasonably expected to be available to the Company (“Covered Tax
Liability”). For avoidance of doubt, the Covered Tax Liability of the Company for any taxable
period shall be determined by including each Company Disregarded Subsidiary’s distributive share of
the LLC’s taxable income (including any items of income, gain, loss or deduction allocated to such
Company Disregarded Subsidiary under principles of Code Section 704(c)) for such taxable period.
For purposes of this Section 4.4(a), a Member’s Percentage Interest shall be determined:

     (v) with respect to distributions in respect of a Federal Tax Payment described in
clause (i)(A) of this Section 4.4(a), as of the date that is the last day in the immediately
preceding period for which estimated federal Tax deposits are required to be determined by
the Company;

     (w) with respect to distributions in respect of a Federal Tax Payment described in
clause (i)(B) of this Section 4.4(a), as of the date that is the last day of the Taxable
Year of the Company to which such Federal Tax Payment relates;

     (x) with respect to distributions in respect of a State Tax Payment described in clause
(ii)(A) of this Section 4.4(a), as of the date that is the last day in the immediately
preceding period for which state estimated Tax deposits are required to be determined by the
Company

     (y) with respect to distributions in respect of a State Tax Payment described in clause
(ii)(B) of this Section 4.4(a), as of the date that is the last day of the Taxable Year of
the Company to which such State Tax Payment relates; and

     (z) with respect to any distribution pursuant to this Section 4.4(a) not described in
clauses (v), (w), (x) or (y) above, as of the date on which the applicable distribution is
made.

8

 

The provisions of this Section 4.4(a) shall apply to a Person if that Person owned Units as of any
of the dates specified in clauses (v) through (z) above with respect to such distribution, even if
that Person no longer holds such Units on the date of the distribution. Notwithstanding anything
in this Section 4.4(a) to the contrary, if a Person was a Unit Holding
Company Stockholder on a
date specified in clauses (v) through (z) above with respect to a distribution under this Section
4.4(a) but is not a Unit Holding  Company Stockholder with respect to that Unit Holding Company on
the date of such distribution by reason of a Holding Company Exchange, the distribution with
respect to that Unit Holding Company shall be made to the Person that was the Unit Company
Stockholder with respect to that Unit Holding Company on the applicable date specified in clauses
(v) through (z). Any Person otherwise entitled to a distribution under this Section 4.4(a) may, by
written notice to the LLC at any time prior to the payment of such distribution, waive its right to
such distribution, which waiver may be (X) with respect to all of the Units owned or previously
owned by such Person (or with respect to Units owned by a Unit Holding Company that any Person owns
or previously owned) at the times specified in clauses (v) through (z) above, (Y) with respect to
only a portion of such Units, and (Z) limited to a specified amount of distributions or with
respect to specific dates specified in clauses (v) through (z) above, and any such waiver shall be
irrevocable with respect to the distributions described therein. The provisions of this Section
4.4(a) shall apply without duplication with respect to each distribution payable hereunder and if,
under the foregoing provisions, more than one Person would be entitled to receive the same
distribution pursuant to this Section 4.4(a) (each, a “Potential Distributee”), such
distribution shall be paid to the Person identified on a certificate delivered to the Managing
Member and signed by all Potential Distributees with respect to such distribution.

     (b) If the LLC or any of its Subsidiaries enters into a transaction resulting in the
recognition of any portion of the Built-In Gain with respect to a Former Sprint Asset other
than in connection with (i) a Dissolution Event or (ii) the transfer of any Former Sprint
Asset if such transfer results from an inability of the LLC to operate its wireless
broadband network in certain territories or any court ordered requirement of divestiture of
any such assets, in each case as a result of the Indemnified Litigation (a “Sprint Gain
Transaction”), the Managing Member will cause the LLC to make available a loan to
Sprint on terms that are consistent with the terms set forth on attached Exhibit A
(a “Sprint Tax Loan”). The LLC will provide Sprint and the tax representative of
Sprint identified pursuant to Section 5.11(b) with written notice of the transaction within
five Business Days after the closing of a Sprint Gain Transaction and will provide to
Sprint all information concerning the Sprint Gain Transaction as reasonably requested by
Sprint. The LLC shall have no obligation to make a Sprint Tax Loan in respect of a Sprint
Gain Transaction if Sprint has not provided the LLC with written notice of its intent to
obtain a Sprint Tax Loan with respect to such Sprint Gain Transaction within 15 days of the
receipt of such notice by Sprint and its tax representative from the LLC. Any Sprint Tax
Loan in respect of a Sprint Gain Transaction shall be made to Sprint no later than the
later of (x) five Business Days prior to the first date for corporate estimated income Tax
deposits following the closing of the Sprint Gain Transaction and (y) the third Business
Day after Sprint shall have provided the LLC with written notice pursuant to this Section
4.4(b) of its intent to obtain a Sprint Tax Loan with respect to a Sprint Gain Transaction.

ARTICLE V

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS;

TAX ALLOCATIONS; TAX MATTERS

     5.1. Initial Capital Contributions. The Members have made or are deemed to have made,
on or before the Effective Date, Capital Contributions, and have acquired the number of Voting
Units and Non-Voting Units specified opposite their respective names on Exhibit B (the
“Register”). The Capital Account balance of each Member as of the Effective Date (the
“Initial Capital Account”) is set forth opposite that Member’s name on Exhibit C.
If an adjustment is made pursuant to Section 4.3(a) of the Transaction Agreement,

9

 

     (i) the number of Class B Common Units owned by Intel and the Strategic
Investors will be adjusted as provided in Section 4.3(a)(i) or (ii) of the
Transaction Agreement, as the case may be, and

     (ii) the number of Voting Units and Class A Common Units owned by the Company
will be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.3(a)(iii) or (iv) of the Transaction
Agreement, as the case may be,

and, in each case, the Register will be revised accordingly. Upon any such adjustment, the Initial
Capital Account of each of Sprint and the Company will be retroactively adjusted effective as of
the Effective Date (an “Adjusted Initial Capital Account”) as follows (and Exhibit
C shall be revised accordingly): The Adjusted Initial Capital Account will be:

     (x) in the case of Sprint, the product obtained by multiplying (i) Sprint’s
Initial Capital Account by (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the NewCo Volume
Weighted Share Price (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) by $20.00 (i.e., if
the NewCo Volume Weighted Share Price is $17.00, the adjusted Initial Capital
Account of Sprint will be the product of the Initial Capital Account of Sprint
multiplied by the fraction 17/20; alternatively, if the NewCo Volume Weighted Share
Price is $23.00, the Adjusted Initial Capital Account of Sprint will be the product
of the Initial Capital Account of Sprint multiplied by the fraction 23/20); and

     (y) in the case of the Company,

     (A) the amount of cash contributed by the Company to the LLC pursuant
to Section 4.2 of the Transaction Agreement, plus

     (B) the product obtained by multiplying (I) the Company’s Initial
Capital Account (except to the extent such Capital Account is attributable
to the contribution of cash by the Company to the LLC pursuant to Section
4.2 of the Transaction Agreement) by (II) the quotient obtained by dividing
the NewCo Volume Weighted Share Price (as defined in the Transaction
Agreement) by $20.00.

The Members intend that the Adjusted Initial Capital Accounts of the Members (reduced by any
Adjusted Initial Capital Account attributable to the Voting Units) shall be in proportion to their
Percentage Interests
immediately following such adjustments, and this Section 5.1 shall be interpreted consistently with
that intent.

     5.2. No Additional Capital Contributions; Additional Funds. 

     (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article V or Article VII, no
Member will be required to make additional Capital Contributions to the LLC without the
consent of that Member or permitted to make additional Capital Contributions to the LLC
without the consent of the Managing Member.

     (b) Subject to Section 5.2(e) and the obligations of the LLC under Article
VII, the Managing Member may, at any time and from time to time, determine in its sole
and absolute discretion that the LLC requires additional funds for the purposes relating to
the LLC’s business (“Additional Funds”). Additional Funds may be obtained by the
LLC, at the direction of the Managing Member, in any manner provided in, and in accordance
with, the terms of this Agreement without the approval of any other Members.

10

 

     (c) Subject to Section 5.2(e) and the obligations of the LLC under Article
VII, the Managing Member, on behalf of the LLC, may obtain any Additional Funds by
causing the LLC to incur indebtedness to any Person, in each case on the terms as the
Managing Member determines are appropriate, including making the indebtedness convertible,
redeemable or exchangeable for Units or Common Stock, except that the LLC will not incur
that indebtedness if

     (i) a breach, violation or default of the indebtedness would be deemed to occur
by virtue of the Transfer of any LLC interest, or

     (ii) the indebtedness is recourse to any Member (unless the Member otherwise
agrees).

     (d) Subject to Section 5.2(e), the Managing Member, on behalf of the LLC, may obtain
any Additional Funds by causing the LLC to incur indebtedness to the Company if the
indebtedness is, to the extent permitted by Law, on substantially the same terms and
conditions (including interest rate, repayment schedule, and conversion, redemption,
repurchase and exchange rights, but not including financial covenants) as indebtedness
incurred by the Company, the net proceeds of which are loaned to the LLC to provide the
Additional Funds.

     (e) Except for the Secured Note (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), neither the
LLC nor any of its Subsidiaries (other than a Subsidiary that is treated as a corporation
for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will borrow any funds from any Member (including the
Company) or any Member’s Affiliate, incur any indebtedness that is guaranteed by a Member
or a Member’s Affiliate, or otherwise incur a liability that is not a “nonrecourse
liability” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(2) (any such arrangement, a
“Specified Financing”), unless

     (i) the economic terms of such Specified Financing are more favorable, in the
aggregate, than those that could be obtained by the LLC in a borrowing that is
treated as a “nonrecourse liability” within the meaning of Regulations Section
1.752-1(a)(2), and

     (ii) each Member has been provided with at least 15 days’ prior written notice
of the LLC’s intention to obtain the Specified Financing (including all material
terms of the Specified Financing) and an opportunity during such 15-day period to
make a good faith proposal for an alternative structure for the Specified Financing
that:

     (A) has economic terms that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable to
the LLC than the Specified Financing in all respects (other than
insubstantial differences in economic terms),

     (B) has conditions to closing that are, in the aggregate, not more
burdensome to the LLC than those in the Specified Financing (other than de
minimis administrative burdens), and

      (C) will allow the indebtedness to be treated as a “nonrecourse
liability” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(2) (a
“Nonrecourse Alternative Financing”); provided that if the
indebtedness cannot  be structured as a Nonrecourse Alternative Financing
under circumstances described in clauses (A) and (B) above, then any Member
may propose an alternative structure that satisfies the requirements
described in clauses (A) and (B) above and that will result in the
indebtedness being allocated to the proposing Member under Code Section 752
in accordance with the Member’s Percentage Interest (or in such proposing
Member’s discretion, in accordance with a percentage that is less than such
Member’s Percentage Interest) (a “Recourse Alternative Financing”).

11

 

     If the Managing Member receives from the Members competing Alternative Financing
proposals, then the Managing Member will choose one such Alternative Financing proposal;
provided, however that (x) Nonrecourse Alternative Financing proposals will be given
precedence over Recourse Alternative Financing proposals and (y) the Managing Member will be
required to implement a proposed Nonrecourse Alternative Financing if such proposal
satisfies the requirements in clauses (A) and (B) above. The Managing Member will deliver
to each Member notice and a description of the Alternative Financing proposal it has chosen.
If that Alternative Financing proposal is a Recourse Alternative Financing, then each
Member will have ten days from receipt of draft definitive documents with respect to such
Recourse Alternative Financing to notify the Managing Member that such Member intends to
participate in such Recourse Alternative Financing and the extent of such Member’s intended
participation (it being understood that each Member will be entitled to participate in such
Recourse Alternative Financing in accordance with the Member’s Percentage Interest (or in
such Member’s discretion, in accordance with a percentage that is less than such Member’s
Percentage Interest)). If the Managing Member does not receive notice from a Member under
the preceding sentence within such ten-day period, the Member will be presumed to have
elected not to participate in that Recourse Alternative Financing. Any Member participating
in a Recourse Alternative Financing proposal will timely execute and deliver any and all
documents that the Managing Member or the applicable lender may reasonably request to
consummate that Recourse Alternative Financing.

     The Managing Member will cause the LLC to use its Reasonable Best Efforts to consummate
the Alternative Financing, and the amount and terms of the Specified Financing shall be
adjusted to take into account the Alternative Financing that is consummated. For the
avoidance of doubt, (X) the LLC may enter into a Specified Financing that satisfies clause
(i) of this Section 5.2(e), notwithstanding a Member’s proposal for Alternative Financing,
if the Managing Member determines in good faith that such Alternative Financing is not,
using
Reasonable Best Efforts, feasible; (Y) no Member shall have any obligation to propose or
participate in any Alternative Financing; and (Z) the LLC shall not enter into any
Alternative Financing if such Alternative Financing would adversely affect a Member (not
taking into account for this purpose an adverse effect to a Member resulting solely from an
Alternative Financing qualifying as a “recourse liability” or a “nonrecourse liability”
within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(1) and (2), as the case may be) not
participating in such Alternative Financing.

     5.3. Capital Accounts. There has been established for each Member on the books of the
LLC, a capital account (each being a “Capital Account”). Each Member’s Capital Account
will be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and
the provisions of this Agreement. The Capital Account of each Member will be

     (a) credited with Capital Contributions made (or deemed to have been made) by that
Member, all Profits (and any individual items of income or gain) allocated to that Member
under Section 5.4 and any items of income or gain that are specially allocated to that
Member under Sections 5.5 and 5.6; and

12

 

     (b) debited with all Losses (and any individual items of loss or deduction) allocated
to that Member under Section 5.4, any items of loss or deduction of the LLC specially
allocated to that Member under Sections 5.5 and 5.6, and all cash and the Carrying Value of
any property (net of liabilities assumed by that Member and the liabilities to which the
property is subject) distributed by the LLC to that Member.

The Capital Account of each Member will also be adjusted appropriately to reflect any other
adjustment required under Regulations Section 1.704-1 or 1.704-2. Any references in any section of
this Agreement to the Capital Account of a Member will be deemed to refer to the Capital Account as
it may be credited or debited from time to time as set forth above. In the event of any Transfer
of any interest in the LLC in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Transferee will
succeed to the Capital Account of the Transferor to the extent it relates to the Transferred
interest.

     5.4. Allocations of Profits and Losses.

     (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Profits, Losses and, to the extent
necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss or deduction will be allocated in a manner
that results in the Partially Adjusted Capital Account Balance of each Member, immediately
after making the allocation, being, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to the
distributions that would be made to the Member under Article IX if the LLC were
dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets were sold for cash equal to their Carrying
Values, all LLC liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each non-recourse
liability to the Carrying Value of the assets securing the liability), including the LLC’s
share of any liabilities of an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax
purposes of which the LLC is a member, and the net assets of the LLC were distributed in
accordance with Article IX to the Members immediately after making the allocation.

     (b) The Members agree that (i) any amount paid to the LLC by Sprint pursuant to Article
13 of the Transaction Agreement shall be treated as an additional Capital Contribution by
Sprint of such amount (without the issuance of any additional Units) and (ii) Section 5.4
shall be
applied by specially allocating to Sprint, to the greatest extent possible, items of
deduction and loss of the LLC attributable to the events giving rise to such payment by
Sprint.

     5.5. Special Allocations. The following special allocations will be made in the
following order:

     (a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in LLC Minimum Gain
during any Taxable Year, each Member will, to the extent required by Regulations Section
1.704-2(f), be specially allocated items of LLC income and gain for the Taxable Year (and,
to the extent required by Regulations Section 1.704-2(j)(2)(iii), subsequent Taxable Years)
in an amount equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in LLC Minimum Gain.
Allocations under the previous sentence will be made in accordance with Regulations Section
1.704-2(f)(6). This Section 5.5(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback
requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and will be interpreted consistently with
that intent.

13

 

     (b) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Member
Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Member who has a share of that
Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain as of the beginning of the Taxable Year will, to  the
extent required by Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), be specially allocated items of LLC
income and gain for the Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) equal to
that Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain.
Allocations under the previous sentence will be made in accordance with Regulations Section
1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 5.5(b) is intended to comply with the requirement in
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and will be interpreted consistently with that intent.

     (c) Limitations on Loss Allocations. With respect to any Member,
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.4, the amount of Loss for any Taxable Year or
other period that would otherwise be allocated to a Member under Section 5.4 will not cause
or increase a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance. Any Loss in excess of the
limitation set forth in this Section 5.5(c) will be allocated among the Members, pro rata,
to the extent each, respectively, has a positive Adjusted Capital Account Balance.

     (d) Qualified Income Offset. If any Member receives an unexpected adjustment,
allocation, or distribution described in Regulations Section l.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4-6) in
any Taxable Year or other period which would cause the Member to have a deficit Adjusted
Capital Account Balance as of the end of the Taxable Year or other period, items of Company
income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including
gross income and gain) will be specifically allocated to the Member in an amount and manner
sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the deficit in the
Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Balance as quickly as possible. This Section 5.5(d) is
intended to comply with the qualified income offset provision in Regulations Section
l.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d) and will be interpreted consistently therewith.

     (e) Gross Income Allocation. If any Member would otherwise have a deficit
Adjusted Capital Account Balance as of the last day of any Taxable Year or other period,
individual items of income and gain of the Company will be specifically allocated to the
Member (in the manner specified in Section 5.5(d)) so as to eliminate the deficit as
quickly as possible.

     (f) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Taxable Year or
other period will be specially allocated to the Members in proportion to their Percentage
Interests.

     (g) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any
Taxable Year or other period will be specially allocated to the Member who bears the
economic risk of loss with respect to the “partner nonrecourse debt” (as that term is
defined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) to which the Member Nonrecourse Deductions
are attributable, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

     5.6. Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 5.5(a) — (g) (the
“Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the
Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory
Allocations that are made be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special
allocations under this Section 5.6. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Article V (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Managing Member will make offsetting
special allocations in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after the offsetting
allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to
the Capital Account balance the Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part
of the Agreement and all LLC items were allocated under Section 5.4. In exercising its discretion
under this Section 5.6, the Managing Member will take into account future Regulatory Allocations
under Sections 5.5(a) and 5.5(b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory
Allocations previously made under Sections 5.5(f) and 5.5(g).

14

 

     5.7. Other Allocation Rules.

     (a) (i) Subject to Section 5.7(a)(ii), for purposes of determining the Profits,
Losses, or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses, and other items will
be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Managing Member
using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder;
provided that in the case of a Transfer of Units or other equity interests in the LLC, the
Managing Member shall, upon request of the Transferor or Transferee, promptly notify the
Transferor and Transferee of the method that it will use to allocate Tax items for the
Taxable Year of the Transfer between the Transferor and Transferee, and unless the next
sentence applies shall use such method to effect such allocation. If the Transferor and
Transferee desire to use a method that differs from such method, and the desired method is
permitted by the Code as determined by the Managing Member in its reasonable discretion,
the Managing Member shall use such other method, but only if (i) the Transferor and
Transferee submit a written request to the Managing Member indicating the method they
desire to use within ten days after the applicable Transfer, (ii) the Transferor and
Transferee agree in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Member to reimburse
the LLC for the reasonable incremental costs, if any, incurred in applying such method and
(iii) such other method does not adversely affect the other Members any more than the
method initially selected by the Managing Member.

     (ii) For purposes of determining Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to
Class B Common Units exchanged pursuant to Section 7.9 (including pursuant to a Holding
Company Exchange), the Managing Member shall, in accordance with Regulations Section
1.706-1(c)(2), allocate such items using an interim closing of the LLC’s books as of the
date of such exchange.

     (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of LLC income, gain,
loss, deduction, and any other allocations not otherwise provided for will be divided among
the
Members in the same proportions as they share Profits or Losses, as the case may be,
for the Taxable Year.

     (c) For purposes of determining the Members’ shares of “nonrecourse liabilities” (as
that term is defined in Regulations
Section 1.752-1(a)(2)), any “excess nonrecourse
liabilities” (as that term is defined in Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3)) will be
allocated among the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

     (d) For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Clearwire Pre-Closing Indebtedness and
the Sprint Pre-Closing Financing are treated as having been assumed by the LLC pursuant to
the Transaction Agreement. The LLC’s assumption of liabilities of Clearwire and Sprint in
connection with their initial Capital Contributions described in Section 5.1 will be
treated by the LLC as the assumption of “qualified liabilities” under Regulations Section
1.707-5(a)(6)(i)(D) except as otherwise required by Law in respect of any indebtedness
issued by Clearwire prior to the Closing in accordance with Sections 10.1(b)(iv)(F) or
10.1(b)(iv)(H) of the Transaction Agreement.

15

 

     5.8. Code Section 704(c); Tax Allocations.

     (a) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income,
gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the
LLC will, solely for Tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of
any variation between the adjusted basis of the property to the LLC for U.S. federal income
tax purposes and its initial Carrying Value (i) using the “remedial method” under
Regulations Section 1.704-3(d) with respect to (x) the Former Clearwire Assets and (y)
Former Sprint Assets having Built-In Gains equal to 50% of the total Built-In Gains in the
Former Sprint Assets (the assets described clause (y), “Sprint Remedial Assets”)
and (ii) using the “traditional method” under Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) with respect
to Former Sprint Assets having Built-In Gains equal to 50% of the total Built-In Gains in
the Former Sprint Assets (the “Sprint Traditional Assets”). The Sprint Remedial
Assets and Sprint Traditional Assets shall be designated in a manner such that the annual
Tax deductions with respect to the Sprint Remedial Assets are, to the greatest extent
possible, equal to the annual Tax deductions that would have been allocated with respect to
the Sprint Traditional Assets had the LLC elected the remedial method with respect to the
Sprint Traditional Assets. The Managing Member shall, as promptly as possible after the
date hereof, designate the Former Sprint Assets as Sprint Remedial Assets and Sprint
Traditional Assets, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Section
5.8(a). Any disagreement concerning the designations of the Sprint Remedial Assets and the
Sprint Traditional Assets will be resolved as provided in Section 5.11(e).

     (b) If the Carrying Value of any LLC asset is adjusted under clauses (i), (ii), or
(iii) of the definition of Carrying Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss,
and deduction with respect to such asset will take account of any variation between the
Carrying Value thereof immediately before such adjustment and the Carrying Value thereof
immediately after such adjustment (such difference, a “Reverse 704(c) Layer”) in
accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) and Regulations Section 1.704-3(a)(6)
using the “traditional method” under Regulations Section 1.704-3(b). For this purpose and
except to the extent required by the Regulations, none of the adjusted basis of an asset
shall be allocated to a Reverse 704(c) Layer.

     (c) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.8, any elections or other decisions
relating to allocations will be made by the Managing Member acting reasonably and in good
faith. Allocations under this Section 5.8 are solely for purposes of U.S. federal,
state, and local Taxes and will not affect, or in any way be taken into account in
computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or
distributions under any provision of this Agreement.

     (d) In accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-3(a)(7), upon the Transfer of any
Units originally issued to Sprint, the Transferee shall be allocated a share of the
built-in gain or loss as of the time of the Transfer, as well as a share of the built-in
gain or loss subject to the remedial method under Regulations Section 1.704-3(d) and a
share of the built-in gain or loss subject to the traditional method under Regulations
Section 1.704-3(b) (in each case prior to any adjustment under Code Section 743(b) that may
apply as a result of such Transfer), that would otherwise be allocable to the Transferor
that is in the same proportion to the total amounts of such built-in gain or loss otherwise
allocable to the Transferor as the number of Units so Transferred is to the total number of
Units held by the Transferor immediately prior to the Transfer.

     (e) Income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the LLC for U.S. federal income tax
purposes shall be allocated in the same manner as the corresponding items were allocated
among the Members pursuant to Sections 5.4, 5.5 or 5.6.

16

 

     5.9. Tax Withholding.

     (a) The LLC will withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue Service or other
applicable Taxing authority all Taxes or withholdings, and all interest, penalties,
additions to Tax, and similar liabilities in connection therewith or attributable thereto
(“Withheld Taxes”) to the extent that the Tax Matters Member in good faith
determines that withholding or payment is required by the Code or any other Law. The Tax
Matters Member in good faith will determine to which Member the Withheld Taxes are
attributable. For example, Withheld Taxes measured with respect to a Member’s distributive
share of the LLC’s income, gain, or other LLC item would be attributable to that Member.
All Withheld Taxes will be withheld against the amounts otherwise distributable to the
Member to which the Withheld Taxes are attributable, and any amounts so withheld will be
treated as a distribution to that Member. If any Withheld Taxes attributable to a Member
exceed the amount otherwise distributable to the Member, the excess will be considered a
loan (a “Withholding Loan”) by the LLC to the Member.

     (b) The borrowing Member shall have the right to prepay, in whole or in part, a
Withholding Loan at any time and shall be required to repay any such Withholding Loan
within ten days after the Tax Matters Member delivers a written demand therefor, together
with interest from the date the loan was made until the date of the repayment at a rate per
annum equal to the LLC’s cost of debt capital, as reasonably determined by the Managing
Member. Absent prior demand, the maturity of the Withholding Loan will be the date of
dissolution of the LLC. If a Withholding Loan is not paid when due, distributions from the
LLC to the borrowing Member (including distributions pursuant to Section 4.4(a)) may be
withheld and applied toward repayment of the accrued and unpaid interest and principal on
such Withholding Loan, with any amounts so withheld being treated as having been
distributed to the borrowing Member for purposes of this Agreement.

     5.10. Successors in Interest. If a Member Transfers all or part of its Units in
accordance with this Agreement, references in this Article V to amounts previously
contributed by the Member or to amounts previously allocated or distributed to the Member will
refer to the Transferee to the extent they pertain to the Transferred interest.

     5.11. Other Tax Matters.

     (a)
The Managing Member will be the initial
“tax matters partner” of the LLC within
the meaning of Code Section 6231(a)(7)
(the “Tax Matters
Member”). The Tax Matters
Member will take reasonable action to cause each other Member to be treated as a “notice
partner” within the meaning of Code Section 6231(a)(8). All reasonable expenses incurred
by a Member while acting in its capacity as Tax Matters Member will be paid or reimbursed
by the LLC and the exculpation and indemnification provisions of Article X will
apply to the Managing Member acting in its capacity as the Tax Matters Member.

     (b) Each Member shall have the right to designate a tax representative (which, with
respect to the Company, will be a tax attorney or accountant appointed, from time to time,
by the chairperson of the Audit Committee (the “Company Tax Representative”)),
which person will be given at least five Business Days advance notice from the Tax Matters
Member of the time and place of, and will have the right to participate in (and the LLC and
the Tax Matters Member will take any actions as may be necessary to cause the tax matters
partner of any Partnership Subsidiary to extend to each Member and the Company Tax
Representative the right to participate in):

     (i) any material aspect of any administrative or judicial proceeding relating
to the determination of partnership items at the LLC level (or at the level of any
Partnership Subsidiary); and

17

 

     (ii) any material discussions with the Internal Revenue Service or other Taxing
authority relating to allocations under Article V (or under the operating
agreement of any Partnership Subsidiary).

The Tax Matters Member will not, and the LLC will not permit the tax matters partner of any
Partnership Subsidiary to, initiate any action or proceeding in any court, extend any
statute of limitations, settle any material income or franchise Tax dispute, or take any
other action contemplated by Code Sections 6222 through 6234 that would legally bind any
other Member, the LLC or any Partnership Subsidiary without approval of the affected
Member(s) (which, in the case of the Company, will require approval of the Company Tax
Representative), which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed,
except that for this purpose, it will not be unreasonable for a Member to withhold the
approval if the action proposed to be taken could materially and adversely affect such
Member. A Member may designate a replacement tax representative by providing written notice
of such change to the Managing Member.

     (c) The Tax Matters Member will timely cause to be prepared all U.S. federal, state,
local and foreign Tax returns and reports (including amended returns) of the LLC or any
Partnership Subsidiary for each year or period that the returns or reports are required to
be filed and, subject to the remainder of this subsection, will cause the Tax returns to be
timely filed. All federal and material state income and franchise Tax returns of the LLC
or any Partnership Subsidiary will be prepared or reviewed by a national accounting firm
selected by the Company Board or a committee of the Company, and no later than 30 days
before filing of such Tax returns, the Tax Matters Member will provide copies of all such
Tax returns to the tax representative of each Member and to the Company Tax Representative
for review. The Members and the Company Tax Representative shall be entitled to provide
comments on such Tax returns to the Tax Matters Member no later than 15 days after
receiving copies of the Tax returns, and the Tax Matters Member will incorporate the
comments, where reasonable, before filing the returns. The other Members and the Company
Tax Representative will take such
actions as are reasonably requested by the Tax Matters Member in connection with the
preparation of the income and franchise Tax returns of the LLC and any Partnership
Subsidiary so as to ensure that all the returns are filed on a timely basis and no filing
penalties are incurred to the extent reasonably possible.

     (d) Within 90 days after the end of each Taxable Year, or as soon as reasonably
practical thereafter, the Tax Matters Member will prepare and send, or cause to be prepared
and sent, to each Person who was a Member at any time during the Taxable Year, copies of
the information required for U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income Tax reporting
purposes, including copies of Form 1065 and Schedule K-1 or any successor form or schedule,
for that Person. At any time after the information has been provided, on at least five
Business Days’ notice from a Member or the Company Tax Representative, the Tax Matters
Member will also provide each Member and the Company Tax Representative with a reasonable
opportunity during ordinary business hours to review and make copies of all work papers
related to the information or to any return prepared under subsection (c) above. At the
request of any Member, as soon as practicable following the end of each period for which
corporate estimated Tax deposits are required to be made (and in any event not later than
ten days after the end of such period), the Tax Matters Member will also cause to be
provided to each Member an estimate of each Member’s share of all items of income, gain,
loss, deduction and credit of the LLC for the estimated Tax period just completed and for
the Taxable Year to date for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Managing Member will
provide to the Members and the Company Tax Representative any material true-ups,
corrections or changes to any information previously provided under this Section 5.11(d) as
soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware that a material true-up, correction or
change is appropriate.

18

 

     (e) At the request of any Member or the Company Tax Representative, the Tax Matters
Member will cause the LLC’s tax attorneys and accountants to confer with the other Members
and the Company Tax Representative and their attorneys and accountants on any material
matters relating to any LLC or Partnership Subsidiary Tax return, Tax election, Tax
dispute, Tax valuation (including the determination of the initial Carrying Value of any
property) or other item affecting the Taxes of the LLC, its Subsidiaries or the Members the
resolution of which is not otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement. The Members
(including the Company Tax Representative) will use their good faith efforts to resolve any
such matters in a mutually satisfactory manner. If, after those efforts have continued for
15 Business Days, no mutually satisfactory solution has been reached, the matter will be
resolved by the unanimous vote of the Members of the CFO Committee. If the CFO Committee
cannot unanimously agree to the resolution of the matter, the matter will be resolved by
the Neutral Accountants.

     (f) With respect to any Tax information provided by the Tax Matters Member to a Member
or the Company Tax Representative under Sections 5.11(b) — (e), the same information will
be provided to the other Members and the Company Tax Representative, as applicable, at the
same time, unless a Member or the Company Tax Representative requests that it not be
provided that information.

     (g) (i) Unless the LLC has a Bona Fide Non-Tax Business Need, the LLC and its
Subsidiaries will not enter into a taxable sale or other taxable disposition of Former
Clearwire Assets or Former Sprint Assets that are intangible property and that would cause
the recognition for income Tax purposes (disregarding the possible use of the installment
reporting method under Code Section 453) of Built-In Gains arising from such sales or other
dispositions in excess of $10 million to be allocated to the Company or Sprint under Code
Section 704(c)
during any period of 36 months (a “Significant BIG Disposition”); provided
that a Significant BIG Disposition will not include the disposition of any Former Clearwire
Assets or Former Sprint Assets if such disposition results from an inability of the LLC to
operate its wireless broadband network in certain territories or any court ordered
requirement of divestiture of any such assets, in each case as a result of the Indemnified
Litigation.

     (ii) At least ten Business Days prior to entering into a binding contract for a
Significant BIG Disposition, the Managing Member will send a written notice to all
Members and their tax representatives that sets forth all material terms of the
Significant BIG Disposition. Within ten Business Days of receipt of such notice,
the Company Tax Representative or Sprint, as the case may be, will have the right to
request a written certification by the chief financial officer of the Managing
Member that the Significant BIG Disposition is motivated by a Bona Fide Non-Tax
Business Need (a “CFO Certificate”). If a CFO Certificate is requested with
respect to a Significant BIG Disposition, the LLC and its Subsidiaries will not
consummate the Significant BIG Disposition unless the CFO Certificate is delivered
to the Members.

19

 

     (iii) If the Managing Member approves a Significant BIG Disposition that
involves a taxable sale or other taxable disposition of Former Sprint Assets, Sprint
shall have the right, within 15 Business Days of receipt of the CFO Certificate, to
transfer Class B Common Stock and Class B Common Units to one or more Sprint Unit
Holding Companies that will be entitled to complete Holding Company Exchanges.
During such 15-Business Day period, the LLC shall not enter into a binding contract
for the Significant BIG Disposition, and the Managing Member will reasonably
cooperate with Sprint in consummating any such Holding Company Exchanges within the
15-Business Day period.

     5.12. Tax Classification. The parties will treat the LLC as a partnership for U.S.
federal and all applicable state and local income tax purposes, and no Member will take any action
inconsistent with such treatment for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes unless
(i) the Company causes the LLC to be treated other than as a partnership in accordance with, and
subject to the conditions of, the Equityholders’ Agreement or (ii) there has occurred a change in
law or final determination to the contrary. The Managing Member will take any reasonable action
within its power required under the Code and applicable Regulations to cause the LLC to be treated
as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent the previous sentence does
not govern the state and local classification of the LLC, the Managing Member will take any
reasonable action within its power as may be required under any state or local Law applicable to
the LLC to cause the LLC to be treated as, and in a manner consistent with, a partnership for state
or local income tax purposes. The parties will treat Clearwire Sub LLC, Sprint LLC and each of the
Transfer Entities as entities disregarded as separate from the LLC in accordance with Regulations
Section 301.7701-2(c)(2). The LLC will not take any action inconsistent with that treatment for
U.S. federal income tax purposes other than in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section
2.7(a)(vi) of the Equityholders’ Agreement.

     5.13. Tax Elections. Except as otherwise provided this Agreement, all elections
required or permitted to be made by the LLC under the Code (or Law) will be made as determined by
the Managing Member, acting reasonably and in good faith, to be in the best interest of the Members
as a group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the LLC shall make and maintain in effect a valid
election under Code Section 754 and (ii) if the LLC does not otherwise qualify as a partnership
under Code Section 6231(a)(l) which is subject to the TEFRA partnership audit rules, the Tax
Matters Member will cause the LLC to make an election under Code Section 6231(a)(1)(B)(ii) to
subject the LLC to the TEFRA partnership audit rules.

ARTICLE VI

BOOKS AND RECORDS; REPORTS

     At all times during the continuance of the LLC, the LLC will prepare and maintain separate
books of account for the LLC in accordance with GAAP. The LLC will keep at its principal office
the following:

     (a) a current list of the full name and the last known street address of each Member;

     (b) a copy of the Original Operating Agreement;

     (c) a copy of the Certificate and this Agreement and all amendments thereto;

     (d) copies of the LLC’s federal, state and local income Tax returns and reports, if
any, for the three most recent years; and

     (e) copies of any financial statements, if any, of the LLC for the six most recent
Taxable Years.

20

 

ARTICLE VII

COMPANY UNITS

     7.1. Units.

     (a) Interests in the LLC are represented by one or more classes of Units. The Units
initially will be divided into Voting Units and
Non-Voting Units, and the Non-Voting Units
will be designated as Class A Common Units or Class B Common Units. The Register contains
the name, Class and number of Units owned by each Member as of the Effective Date. The
Register will be revised from time to time by the Managing Member to reflect the admission
or withdrawal of a Member or the issuance, Transfer, assignment, redemption, repurchase,
acquisition, conversion, relinquishment to the Company or other cancellation or termination
of Units in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and other modifications to or
changes in the information set forth on the Register.

     (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Units issued by the LLC
after the Effective Date to Persons who are not members of an Equityholder Group will be
deemed for purposes of Section 8.1(a)(iii) to be Units proposed to be Transferred by the
Managing Member and will, accordingly, be subject to the provisions of Section 8.1(a)(iii),
mutatis mutandis, as if such issuance by the LLC were a transfer by the Managing Member and
treating holders of Units so issued as members of the Managing Member’s Equityholder Group.

     7.2. Register. The Register will be the definitive record of ownership of each Unit
and all relevant information with respect to each Member. Unless the Managing Member determines
otherwise, Units will be uncertificated and recorded in the books and records of the LLC.

     7.3. Splits, Distributions and Reclassifications. The LLC will not in any manner
subdivide (by any Unit split, Unit
distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combine (by reverse Unit
split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) any class or series of the outstanding
Units unless an identical event is occurring with respect to

     (a) all other classes or series of the outstanding Units, and

     (b) all classes or series of Equity Securities (including Class A Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock),

in which event the Managing Member will cause the classes or series of Units to be subdivided or
combined concurrently with and in the same manner and to the same extent as the classes or series
of Equity Securities of the Company.

     7.4. Cancellation or Redemption of Equity Securities and Units. 

     (a) Any time a share of Class B Common Stock is exchanged as set forth in Section 7.9
for a share of Class A Common Stock, then one Class B Common Unit will be cancelled without
any further consideration other than that specified in Section 7.9, and one Class A Common
Unit and one Voting Unit will be issued to the Company.

21

 

     (b) Any time any shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities are
redeemed, repurchased, acquired, cancelled or terminated by the Company (other than any
shares of Class A Common Stock or Equity Securities that were issued by the Company to fund
Other Business Activities), the Managing Member will cause the same number of Class A
Common Units and the same number of Voting Units (or the same number of comparable
securities of the LLC, as applicable) in the name of the Company to be redeemed,
repurchased, acquired, cancelled or terminated by the LLC for the same consideration, if
any, as the consideration paid by the Company so that the number of Class A Common Units
held by the Company at all times equals the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
outstanding. If the Company redeems shares of Class B Common Stock (other than any shares
of Class B Common Stock that were issued by the Company to fund Other Business Activities)
for cash, the Managing Member will simultaneously cause the same number of Voting Units in
the name of the Company to be redeemed for the same cash consideration.

     (c) If a Member Transfers a share of Class B Common Stock (as otherwise permitted by
the Equityholders’ Agreement and the Charter) without Transferring a corresponding Unit in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the share of Class B Common Stock will be
immediately redeemed by the Company for its Par Value per share in accordance with the
terms of the Equityholders’ Agreement and the Charter.

     (d) If a Member Transfers a Class B Common Unit (as permitted by this Agreement)
without Transferring a corresponding share of Class B Common Stock, the corresponding
number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by that Member will be immediately redeemed
by the Company for its Par Value per share in accordance with the terms of the
Equityholders’ Agreement and the Charter.

     (e) If, pursuant to Section 2.13(e) or Section 2.13(f) of the Equityholders’
Agreement, Sprint is reissued shares of Class B Common Stock in exchange for a payment to
the Company of an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Par Value of the shares of Class B
Common Stock to be so reissued, then the Company will contribute to the LLC the amount of
cash so received from Sprint and the LLC will issue to the Company a number of Voting
Units equal to the number of shares of Class B Common Stock reissued to Sprint.

     7.5. Incentive Plans. At any time the Company issues a share of Class A Common Stock
under an Incentive Plan (whether by the exercise of a stock option or the grant of a restricted
share award or otherwise), the following will occur: 

     (a) the net proceeds (including without limitation the amount of the exercise price
paid by the owner or the promissory note representing any loan made by the Company to the
owner with respect to a stock purchase award, which promissory note will be deemed to have
a fair market value equal to the original principal balance of that promissory note)
received by the Company with respect to the share of Class A Common Stock, if any, will be
paid or transferred by the Company to the LLC, which amounts will be treated for U.S.
federal income tax purposes as having been paid to the LLC by the person to whom the share
of Class A Common Stock is to be issued;

22

 

     (b) the Company will be deemed to make an additional Capital Contribution to the LLC
of an amount of cash equal to

     (i) the current per share market price of a share of Class A Common Stock on
the date the share is issued (or, if earlier, the date the related option is
exercised), reduced by

     (ii) the amount paid to the LLC as described under subsection (a) above;

     (c) the LLC will be deemed to purchase from the Company a share of Class A Common
Stock for an amount of cash equal to the sum of

     (i) the additional deemed Capital Contribution made by the Company to the LLC
in subsection (b) above and

     (ii) the amount paid to the LLC as described under subsection (a) above,

and to deliver such share of Class A Common Stock to its owner under the Incentive Plan (the
parties acknowledging that the deemed purchase will not cause the LLC to own the shares for
any purpose, including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining stockholders
entitled to receive dividends or vote);

     (d) in exchange for the payment by the Company to the LLC described in subsection (a)
above and the deemed Capital Contribution by the Company to the LLC described in subsection
(b) above (which aggregate amount will be credited to the Capital Account of the Company),
the LLC will issue to the Company one Class A Common Unit and one Voting Unit registered in
the name of the Company for each share of Class A Common Stock issued by the Company under
the Incentive Plan;

     (e) the LLC will claim any compensation deductions attributable to the issuance or
vesting, as the case may be, of shares of Class A Common Stock and any other deductions
available by reason of shares issued pursuant to an Incentive Plan (including, as
applicable, as a result of an election under Code Section 83(b)), which deductions will be
allocated among the Members in accordance with the allocation rules in Article V;

     (f) if the owner of any share of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to an Incentive
Plan has timely made an election under Code Section 83(b) with respect to that share of
Class A Common Stock and the share of Class A Common Stock is subsequently forfeited, then
each of the actual and deemed steps described in subsections (a) through (e) above with
respect to that share of Class A Common Stock will be reversed including, without
limitation, the reversion of that share of Class A Common Stock to the Company, the
cancellation of the Class A Common Unit and Voting Unit issued to the Company and the
reversal, if and to the extent required by Regulations
Section 1.83-6(c) or other
applicable Tax law, of any compensation deductions previously allocated to the Members; and

     (g) if a share of Class A Common Stock issued under an Incentive Plan is subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture and is not transferable for purposes of Code Section 83, and
if a valid election under Code Section 83(b) has not been made with respect to such share
of Class A Common Stock, the foregoing transactions shall be deemed to occur for U.S.
federal income tax purposes when such share of Class A Common Stock is either transferable
or no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for purposes of Code Section 83.
Until such time, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including for purposes of
maintaining Capital Accounts and computing Profits, Losses and related items), such share
of Class A Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued and any distributions with
respect to such share of Class A Common Stock shall for such purposes be treated as
compensation paid to the holder thereof by the LLC.

     7.6. Exercisable Rights. Except as provided in Section 7.5 and Section 7.9, any time
the Company issues any shares of capital stock on the exercise of any rights, options, warrants or
any convertible or exchangeable securities having the right to convert into, exchange for,
subscribe for or purchase any shares of Class A Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company
(“Exercisable Rights”), other than shares of Class A Common Stock or other capital stock
issued on the exercise of Exercisable Rights attributable to the funding by the Company of any
Other Business Activities, the following will occur:

     (a) the net proceeds (including without limitation the amount of the exercise price
paid by the owner) received by the Company with respect to the share of Class A Common
Stock or other capital stock of the Company, if any, will be concurrently transferred and
paid by the Company to the LLC as an additional Capital Contribution; and

     (b) on the date an Exercisable Right is exercised, the LLC will issue Units as
follows:

     (i) in the case of an issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock on the
exercise of Exercisable Rights, the LLC will issue to the Company an equal number of
Class A Common Units and an equal number of Voting Units registered in the name of
the Company; and

     (ii) in the case of an issuance by the Company of any other capital stock on
the exercise of Exercisable Rights, then the LLC will issue an equal number of Units
of a class or series of Units as the corresponding class or series of Equity
Securities issued by the Company with respect to the exercise of the Exercisable
Rights.

The Members agree to treat the issuance of Units pursuant to this Section 7.6 as having been issued
upon the exercise of rights issued under Section 7.7(a) and in accordance with Proposed Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s) and 1.704-1(b)(4)(ix) (and any successor provisions
thereto).

     7.7. Issuances of Equity Securities.

     (a) Except as provided in Sections 7.5 or 7.6 or Sections 7.7(b) and (c) below, and
except for any Equity Securities issued by the Company to fund Other Business Activities,
which will not be taken into consideration for purposes of applying this Section 7.7, any
time the Company issues any Equity Securities (other than compensatory options issued
pursuant to an Incentive Plan), the following will occur:

     (i) the Company will contribute to the capital of the LLC an amount of cash
equal to the issue price of the Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities (or,
in the case of the issuance of Equity Securities in exchange for property, then the
property received in exchange for the issuance of those Equity Securities) and the
Capital Account of the Company will be increased by the amount of cash and the fair
market value of the property contributed;

24

 

     (ii) the LLC will issue Units or other securities as follows:

     (A) in the case of an issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock, the
LLC will issue an equal number of Class A Common Units to the Company and an
equal number of Voting Units registered in the name of the Company; and

     (B) in the case of an issuance of any securities not covered under
clause (A), the LLC will issue an equal number of Units or other securities
(including Voting Units, if applicable) with designations, preferences and
other rights, terms and conditions (other than financial covenants
applicable to the Company, its Subsidiaries or direct or indirect parent
entities) that are substantially the same as the designations, preferences
and other rights, terms and conditions of the other Equity Securities,
registered in the name of the Company.

     (b) If a holder of Class B Common Units exercises its preemptive rights under Section
3.5(c) of the Equityholders’ Agreement to purchase Alternative New Securities (as described
in such Section 3.5(c)) in lieu of New Securities (as defined in the Equityholders’
Agreement), the holder of Class B Common Units will be entitled to purchase a number of
Alternative Units as provided under
Section 3.5(c) of the Equityholders’ Agreement in
connection with that exercise of preemptive rights. The Alternative Units purchased in
accordance with the preceding sentence will have economic and other rights (other than
voting rights) that are the same as the economic and other rights (other than voting
rights) of the applicable New Securities. The price paid for the Alternative Units will be
that portion of the price for the New Securities set forth in the Notice of Issuance
delivered pursuant to Section 3.5(b) of the Equityholders’ Agreement allocated between the
Company and the LLC based on the relative value of the Alternative Voting Securities and
the Alternative Units. The portion of the purchase price attributable to Alternative
Voting Securities will be payable to the Company and the Company will contribute such
amount to the LLC in exchange for an equal number of Voting Units registered in the name of
the Company. The portion of the purchase price attributable to the Alternative Units will
be payable directly to the LLC as provided in Section 3.5(g) of the Equityholders’
Agreement and the Capital Account of the holder of Class B Common Units shall be adjusted
accordingly.

     (c) The intent of this Section 7.7 and Sections 7.3, 7.4, 7.5 and 7.6 is to ensure
that

     (i) the number of Voting Units held by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries
will at all times equal the sum of

     (A) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, and

     (B) the number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding, and

     (C) without duplication, the number of Voting Securities (as defined in
the Equityholders’ Agreement) outstanding, and

     (ii) the number of Class A Common Units held by the Company will at all times
equal the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding; and

     (iii) the number of Class B Common Units outstanding will at all times equal
the number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding;

25

 

except that, (x) with respect to subsection (iii) above, if a redemption of shares of Class
B Common Stock has occurred under
Sections 7.4(c), 7.4(d), 7.11(b), 8.2(b) or 8.2(c) or
Section 2.13(d) of the Equityholders’ Agreement, then the number of shares of Class B Common
Stock that are outstanding will equal the number of outstanding Class B Common Units less
the number of shares of Class B Common Stock so redeemed, and the provisions of this Section
7.7 and Sections 7.3, 7.4, 7.5 and 7.6 will be interpreted consistently with that intent and
(y) any Equity Securities issued by the Company to fund Other Business Activities, will not
be taken into consideration for purposes of applying this Section 7.7.

     7.8. Registered Members. The LLC will be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of
a Person registered on its records as the owner of Units for all purposes and will not be bound to
recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in Units on the part of any other Person,
whether or not it will have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the
Act.

     7.9. Exchange of Units.

     (a) Subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 7.9, and on or after the date
that is 91 days after the Adjustment Date in the case of all holders of Class B Common
Units (the “Lock-up Period”), each holder of a Unit (other than the Company and its
Subsidiaries) will be entitled to exchange, from time to time, any or all of the holder’s
Units, as follows:

     (i) in the case of Class B Common Units, one Class B Common Unit together with
one share of Class B Common Stock will be exchangeable for one share of Class A
Common Stock (the “Common Unit Exchange Rate”), as provided in Section 5.1
of the Charter, and

     (ii) in the case of Units other than Class B Common Units, the Units will be
exchangeable for the Equity Securities or Units as are provided in the terms of the
exchangeable Units, including the designated exchange rate (the “Unit Exchange
Rate” and, together with the Common Unit Exchange Rate, the “Exchange
Rate”).

If any such exchange is being made to enable the holder to participate in a tender offer
made pursuant to Section 8.1(e), the exchange may, at the option of such holder, be
conditioned upon
the closing of such tender offer, in which case such holder shall not be deemed to have
effected such exchange until immediately prior to the expiration of the relevant tender
offer period (any such exchange, a “Conditional Exchange”).

     (b) Notwithstanding the Lock-Up Period, each Member holding Class B Common Units may
at any time following the Adjustment Date exchange pursuant to Section 7.9(a) a number of
shares of Class B Common Stock together with a corresponding number of Class B Common
Units, not in excess of ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares of Class B Common
Stock and a corresponding number of Class B Common Units, issued to such Member at the
Closing for an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock.

     (c) Any exchange right under Section 7.9(a) will be exercised by a written notice to
the Company and the LLC from the holder of the Units (the “Exchange Notice”)

     (i) stating that the holder desires to exchange a stated number of Units and
capital stock of the Company under Section 5.1 of the Charter and Section 7.9(a),
and

26

 

     (ii) specifying (x) a date that is not less than seven Business Days nor more
than 20 Business Days after delivery of the Exchange Notice on which the exchange is
to be completed or (y) that the exchange is a Conditional Exchange (the
“Exchange Date”).

The Exchange Notice must be accompanied by instruments of transfer to the Company, in form
satisfactory to the Company and to the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer
Agent”), duly executed by the holder or the holder’s duly authorized attorney, and
transfer Tax stamps or funds therefor, if required under Section 7.9(g), in respect of the
Units to be exchanged, in each case delivered during normal business hours at the offices of
the Company or at the office of the Transfer Agent. Once an Exchange Notice has been
validly delivered to the Company and the LLC, such Exchange Notice shall be binding on the
applicable holder of Units delivering such Exchange Notice, and may not be rescinded or
withdrawn or otherwise amended by such holder of Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
holder of a Unit will be entitled to exchange the Unit if the exchange would be prohibited
under Law.

     (d) On the Exchange Date, following the surrender for exchange of Units in the manner
provided in this Section 7.9 and the payment in cash to the Company of any amount required
by Section 7.9(g), the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered, as the case may be,
at the offices of the Company or at the office of the Transfer Agent, the number of shares
of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities issuable on the exchange, issued in the
name or names as the holder may direct. On the Exchange Date, all rights of the holder of
the exchanged Units as a Member of the LLC with respect to the Units will cease, and the
person or persons in whose name or names the shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity
Securities are to be issued will be treated for all purposes as having become the record
holder or holders of the shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities.

     (e) The Exchange Rate will be adjusted accordingly if there is:

     (i) any Recapitalization Event with respect to any class or series of Units
that is not accompanied by an identical Recapitalization Event with respect to the
corresponding class or series of Equity Securities; or

     (ii) any Recapitalization Event with respect to any class or series of Equity
Securities that is not accompanied by an identical Recapitalization Event with
respect to
the corresponding class or series of Units. In the event of a Recapitalization
Event as a result of which one class or series of Equity Securities is converted
into another class or series of Equity Securities, then a holder of the
corresponding class or series of Units will be entitled to receive on exchange the
amount of the security that the holder would have received if the exchange of Units
had occurred immediately before the effective date of the Recapitalization Event.
Except as may be required in the immediately preceding sentence, no adjustments in
respect of dividends will be made on the exchange of any Unit, except that if the
Exchange Date with respect to a Unit occurs after the record date for the payment of
a dividend or other distribution on Units but before the date of the payment, then
the registered holder of the Unit at the close of business on the record date will
be entitled to receive the dividend or other distribution payable on the Unit on the
payment date (without duplication of any distribution to which such holder may be
entitled under Section 4.4(a)) notwithstanding the exchange of the Unit or the
default in payment of the dividend or distribution due on the Exchange Date.

27

 

     (f) The Company will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but
unissued Equity Securities, solely for the purpose of issuance on exchange of Units
(together with any corresponding Equity Securities), the number of Equity Securities
issuable on the exchange of all the outstanding Units, except that nothing in this
Agreement will be construed to preclude the Company from satisfying its obligations in
respect of the exchange of the Units by delivery of purchased Equity Securities that are
held in the treasury of the Company. The Company covenants that all Equity Securities that
are issued on exchange of Units will, on issue, be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.

     (g) The issuance of Equity Securities on exchange of Units will be made without charge
to the holders of the Units for any stamp or other similar Tax in respect of the issuance,
except that if the shares are to be issued in a name other than that of the holder of the
Units exchanged, then the person or persons requesting the issuance will pay to the Company
the amount of any Tax payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or will
establish to the satisfaction of the Company that the Tax has been paid or is not payable.

     (h) In addition to the exchange right set forth in Section 7.9(a), at the option of a
Unit Holding Company to be exercised by delivery of a written notice in a manner similar to
an Exchange Notice under Section 7.9(c), any holder of 100% of the equity securities of a
Unit Holding Company (a “Unit Holding Company Stockholder”) may cause a Unit
Holding Company to merge with and into a Company Disregarded Subsidiary in a merger in
which the Company Disregarded Subsidiary is the surviving entity, in exchange for a number
of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of Class B Common Units (and a
corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock) held by such Unit Holding Company
(a “Holding Company Exchange”). The Company and its Affiliates will use Reasonable
Best Efforts (x) to effect each Holding Company Exchange in a manner that is tax-free to
the Unit Holding Company and the owner of such Unit Holding Company for U.S. federal income
tax purposes and (y) not to take any action that would reasonably be expected to cause a
Holding Company Exchange not to be treated as a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. If a Holding Company Exchange is effected pursuant to this Section
7.9(h), the Unit Holding Company Stockholder and its Affiliates will be responsible for,
and will indemnify and hold the Company and each of its Affiliates harmless against, (X)
Tax of a Unit Holding Company incurred in such Holding Company Exchange and (Y) all
liabilities of the Unit Holding Company and its Affiliates (including liabilities for Taxes
not described in clause (X)) to the extent such liabilities are attributable to periods
through and including the effective date of the Holding Company Exchange, except to the
extent attributable to the period after the closing of
the Holding Company Exchange, including any liability of the Unit Holding Company
arising by reason of being a member of an affiliated, combined, consolidated or other Tax
group on or prior to the Holding Company Exchange, in each case, in a manner that is
reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

     7.10. Preemptive Rights.

     (a) Each Member (other than the Company, but including Eagle River for purposes of
this Section 7.10) will have the right to purchase its Preemptive Right Pro Rata Share (as
defined below) of New Units (as defined in Section 7.10(d)) that the LLC may from time to
time propose to issue. A Member’s (other than Eagle River’s) “Preemptive Right Pro
Rata Share” will be, at any given time, that proportion, calculated before any proposed
issuance of New Units, that the number of Common Units owned by a Member at that time bears
to the total number of Common Units issued and outstanding at that time. For purposes of
this Section 7.10, Eagle River’s Preemptive Right Pro Rata Share will equal a number of
Units that corresponds to the number of shares of New Securities that Eagle River would
have been entitled to purchase as its Preemptive Right Pro Rata Share under Section 3.5 of
the Equityholders’ Agreement had the New Units been New Securities issued by the Company.

28

 

     (b) If the LLC proposes to issue New Units, it will give the Members a written notice
(the “Notice of Issuance”) of its intention to sell New Units, setting forth the
price, the identity of the proposed purchaser(s) (if known) and the principal terms on
which the LLC proposes to issue the New Units. Each Member (other than the Company) will
have 30 days from the date of receipt of any Notice of Issuance (“New Units Notice
Period”) to elect to purchase a number of New Units up to its Preemptive Right Pro Rata
Share of New Units (in each case calculated before the issuance and rounded to the nearest
whole Unit), for the price and on the terms specified in the Notice of Issuance, by giving
written notice to the LLC stating the number of New Units to be purchased.

     (c) The LLC will have 180 days after the date of the Notice of Issuance to consummate
the sale of any New Units with respect to which the Members’ preemptive rights were not
exercised, at or above the price and on terms not more favorable, in the aggregate, to the
purchasers of the New Units than the terms specified in the initial Notice of Issuance
given in connection with that sale.

     (d) For purposes of this Agreement, “New Units” means any Units of the LLC
issued (or to be issued) after the Effective Date, whether now or hereafter authorized, and
any rights, options, warrants or other rights to purchase or acquire Units, and securities
of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, exchangeable or exercisable for or
convertible into Units. The term “New Units” does not include, and the preemptive
rights described in this Section 7.10 will not be exercisable with respect to, any of the
following:

     (i) Units issued under Sections 7.4(a), 7.5 and 7.6;

     (ii) Units or other securities issued to officers, employees or directors of
the LLC in connection with a person’s employment or director arrangements with the
LLC under any employee benefit plan of the LLC adopted by the Managing Member
including but not limited to any Incentive Plan;

     (iii) Units or other securities issued in connection with any Recapitalization
Event of the LLC approved by the Managing Member;

     (iv) Units or other securities issued in connection with the acquisition of
another business entity or business segment of another entity by the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company, or in connection with the acquisition of 2.5 GHz Spectrum
by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company;

     (v) Units issued in connection with the exercise of any right, option or
warrant to acquire Units, or the conversion of any securities into Units, in any
case that (x) were outstanding prior to the Effective Date or (y) were issued after
the Effective Date and were treated as New Units in respect of which preemptive
rights were offered pursuant to this Section 7.10;

     (vi) Units issued under Section 4.3 of the Transaction Agreement;

29

 

     (vii) Units or other securities issuable or issued to consultants, vendors,
lessors or others with whom the LLC conducts business (other than the Members and
their respective Affiliates), as long as

     (A) the Units or other securities are issued directly in a transaction
approved by the Company Board, and

     (B) the issuance of Units or other securities is not for financing
purposes;

     (viii) Units or other securities issued to financial institutions or lessors in
connection with commercial credit arrangements, equipment financing or similar
transactions, as long as the Units or other securities are issued directly in a
transaction approved by the Company Board;

     (ix) Units or other securities issued (other than to any Member or any of its
Affiliates) in transactions involving technology licensing, research or development
activities, the use or acquisition of strategic assets, properties or rights, or the
distribution, manufacture or marketing of the LLC’s products, as long as

     (A) the Unit or other securities are issued directly in a
transaction approved by the Company Board and

     (B) the issuance of Units or other securities is not for
financing purposes,

     and

     (x) Units issued under Section 7.7(b) of this Agreement and Section 3.5(c) of
the Equityholders’ Agreement in connection with the exercise of preemptive rights by
certain Equityholders.

     (e) The closing of the purchases of a Member’s Preemptive Right Pro Rata Share of New
Units under this Section 7.10 will take place at the offices of the Company on a date
specified by the exercising Members, which will be within 30 days after the exercise of the
Member’s rights under this Section 7.10, or (if later) within 10 days after the receipt of
all required regulatory approvals. At the closing, the LLC and the Company will deliver,
or cause
to be delivered, to the purchasing Member, certificates (if applicable) representing
the New Units to be purchased by the purchasing Member, in the name of the purchasing
Member, against payment of the purchase price therefor, as provided below; and the
purchasing Member will deliver to the LLC and to the Company an amount in cash by wire
transfer in immediately available funds equal to the product of the applicable price per
share determined in the Notice of Issuance multiplied by the number of New Units to be
acquired by the purchasing Member.

     (f) After giving a Notice of Issuance, the LLC may close (prior to the expiration of
the New Units Notice Period) the sale of any portion of the New Units that is not subject
to preemptive rights under this Section 7.10 or as to which any Member has affirmatively
waived its rights under this Section 7.10.

30

 

     (g) The rights under this Section 7.10 will terminate with respect to a Member if and
when such Member and its Permitted Transferees and Permitted Designees cease to own, in the aggregate, a number of Non-Voting Units equal to at least 50% of the Original Units of such
Member. The rights under this Section 7.10 with respect to Eagle River will terminate when
Eagle River ceases to have the right to exercise its preemptive rights under Section 3.5 of
the Equityholders’ Agreement.

     (h) The Strategic Investors, acting through the Strategic Investor Representative,
will exercise their rights pursuant to this Section 7.10 as a group, and the Strategic
Investor Group will be deemed to be a single “Member” for purposes of calculating its
Preemptive Right Pro Rata Share under Section 7.10(a). Unless the Strategic Investors
otherwise agree (as notified by the Strategic Investor Representative to the Managing
Member and the remaining Members) New Units acquired by the Strategic Investor Group will
be allocated among the Strategic Investors based on their relative Percentage Interests
within the Strategic Investor Group.

     7.11. Permitted Designee.

     (a) Any right of a Member under this Agreement to acquire additional Units may be
exercised, at the option of the Member, by a Permitted Designee of such Member, subject to
the remainder of this Section 7.11 and the limit on the applicable Equityholder Group’s
Maximum Number of Holders under Section 8.1(a). If a Member desires for a Permitted
Designee to acquire Units in lieu of the Member, the Member will notify the Managing Member
in writing. As a condition to such acquisition, the Member will cause the Permitted
Designee to execute and deliver to the Managing Member and each other Member an Assignment
and Assumption Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit D, and upon consummation
of the acquisition of Units, the Permitted Designee will be a Member and will be subject to
all rights and obligations of a Member owning the acquired Units under this Agreement.

     (b) Except as provided in Section 8.12, before any Permitted Designee ceases to
qualify as a Permitted Designee of the relevant Member, it will Transfer full legal and
beneficial ownership of its Units to the relevant Member or, subject to this Section 7.11,
another Permitted Designee of the relevant Member. If such Transfer is not made in
accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, then in addition to all other remedies
available at law or in equity, any shares of Class B Common Stock held by such
non-qualifying Permitted Designee will be immediately redeemed by the Company for their Par
Value per share in accordance with the terms of the Equityholders’ Agreement and the
Charter.

ARTICLE VIII

TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

     8.1. Member Transfers.

     (a) A Member (including the Managing Member) may Transfer all or any portion of its
Units (either with or without the corresponding shares of Common Stock), and may permit its
Transferees to Transfer all or any portion of the Units Transferred to them (either with or
without the corresponding shares of Common Stock), as long as (and in addition to any other
requirements of the Member under this Agreement with respect to such Transfer):

     (i) at least ten days prior to consummating a Transfer (whether by the Member
or by its Transferee), the Member (or the applicable Transferee) notifies the
Managing Member in writing,

31

 

     (ii) as a condition to consummating the Transfer, any Transferee (other than
(x) a Transferee in an Exchange Transaction, (y) a Permitted Transferee or a
Permitted Designee and (z) as provided in Section 8.8(h), Eagle River) (any such
Transferee, an “Assignee”) executes and delivers to the LLC and the Members
an Assignee Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit E, and

     (iii) the Transfer (whether by the Member or by its Transferee) would not cause
the Initial Units of the applicable Member’s Equityholder Group (as defined in
subsection (b) below) to be held of record by more than that Equityholder Group’s
Maximum Number of Holders (as set forth on Exhibit F) and would not cause
the Initial Units of the applicable Member’s Equityholder Group to be considered to
be held, for purposes of Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(1), taking into account the
rules of Regulations
Section 1.7704-1(h)(3), by a number of partners for purposes of
Code Section 7704 that is greater than the Maximum Number of Holders of the
applicable Equityholder Group. For purposes of determining the number of holders of
record of an Equityholder Group’s Initial Units, except as provided in the remainder
of this subsection (iii), each Person will be treated as a separate holder,
regardless of whether the Person is an Affiliate of another holder, a Permitted
Transferee of another holder, or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, another
Person will not be treated as a separate holder of record (solely for determining
the number of holders of record as a result of the Transfer to that Person) as long
as that Person already held Units immediately prior to the applicable Transfer
(“Preexisting Holder”). Any subsequent Transfers by a Preexisting Holder of
the Units Transferred to it in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence
will be treated as subsequent Transfers by the Equityholder Group whose Initial
Units were Transferred to the Preexisting Holder, and any holders that result from
that subsequent Transfer (other than holders that are also Preexisting Holders) will
be treated as additional holders of the Initial Units of that Equityholder Group.
Accordingly, the Preexisting Holder will comply with any Transfer limitations
imposed on the applicable Equityholder Group by this Section 8.1. For purposes of
this subsection (iii), if a Preexisting Holder holds the Initial Units of more than
one Equityholder Group, Units that were received first by the Preexisting Holder
will be deemed to be Transferred first.

     (b) For purposes of this Section 8.1, an “Equityholder Group” means,

     (i) in the case of Sprint, Sprint HoldCo, LLC;

     (ii) in the case of Eagle River, Eagle River;

     (iii) in the case of Intel, Intel Capital Wireless Investment Corporation
2008A, Intel Capital Wireless Investment Corporation 2008B, and Intel Capital
Wireless Investment Corporation 2008C.

     (iv) in the case of Comcast, Comcast Wireless Investment I, Inc., Comcast
Wireless Investment II, Inc., Comcast Wireless Investment III, Inc., Comcast
Wireless Investment IV, Inc., and Comcast Wireless Investment V, Inc.;

     (v) in the case of TWC, TWC Wireless Holdings I LLC, TWC Wireless Holdings II
LLC, and TWC Wireless Holdings III LLC;

     (vi) in the case of BHN, BHN Spectrum Investments, LLC and

32

 

     (vii) in the case of the Managing Member, the Managing Member.

     (c) If any of its Units are Transferred in a Transfer that is not permitted under
Section 8.1(a) above, such Transfer will be void ab initio.

     (d) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.1 will limit

     (i) the right of any holder of Class B Common Units (and corresponding shares
of Class B Common Stock) to exchange all or any portion of its Class B Common Units
(together with the corresponding shares of Class B Common Stock) for shares of Class
A Common Stock pursuant to Section 7.9 and Article 5 of the Charter, or

     (ii) any subsequent Transfer of those shares of Class A Common Stock.

     (e) None of Sprint, the Strategic Investors, Intel or any of their respective
Affiliates will Transfer (other than to a Permitted Transferee pursuant to Section 8.2),
whether directly or indirectly, all or any portion of its Units (or the Equity Securities
that correspond to the Units) to a single person or group (as those terms are defined
below) in a transaction or a series of related transactions that would result in the
Transferee person or group (other than any of Sprint, the Strategic Investors or Intel or
their respective Permitted Transferees or Permitted Designees), together with its or their
Permitted Transferees or Permitted Designees, having an aggregate Percentage Interest
immediately after the proposed Transfer equal to or greater than the Specified Percentage,
unless the following occurs:

     (i) The provisions of Sections 3.3 and 3.6 of the Equityholders’ Agreement have
been complied with in full.

     (ii) As a condition to consummating the Transfer,

     (A) the Transferee makes (or causes another Person to make) a tender
offer to the holders of Class A Common Stock to purchase all shares of Class
A Common Stock at a price per share equal to or greater than the price per
Unit that the Transferee proposes to pay for the Units (including the
corresponding Equity Securities) proposed to be Transferred, and

     (B) all shares of Class A Common Stock that are properly tendered and
not withdrawn are purchased by the Transferee.

     (iii) If the consideration proposed to be paid for the Units (including the
corresponding Equity Securities) is other than cash, then the same form of
consideration is offered to the holders of Class A Common Stock.

     (iv) The tender offer described in subsection (ii) above is conducted in
compliance with Law, including the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, and
is not subject to any conditions other than those contained in the agreement
governing the proposed Transfer.

     (v) The agreement governing the proposed Transfer sets forth the obligation
described in this Section 8.1(e) and states that the holders of Class A Common Stock
are intended third party beneficiaries of the provision setting forth such
obligation.

33

 

For purposes of this Section 8.1(e), “person” and “group” have the meanings given to
them for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor
provisions, and the term “group” includes any group acting for the purpose of
acquiring, holding or disposing of securities within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1)
under the Exchange Act, or any successor provision.

     (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, without the prior written
consent of Members (other than the Managing Member) collectively holding a Percentage
Interest relative to the Percentage Interests of all such Members equal to at least 75%,
the Managing Member may not transfer all or any portion of its Units other than a Transfer
of Units that is part of a merger, consolidation, share or unit exchange, recapitalization,
business combination or other similar transaction involving the LLC, in each case, that
constitutes a Change of Control of the Company and the LLC and that has been approved by
the Company Board and the stockholders of the Company as required by the Equityholders’
Agreement and Law.

     8.2. Permitted Transferees.

     (a) Subject to Section 8.1, a Member may Transfer all or any portion of its Units to a
Permitted Transferee; provided that such Member gives written notice to the LLC of its
intention to make a Transfer to such Transferee, stating the name and address of the
Permitted Transferee, the Member’s relationship to the Permitted Transferee and the type
and amount of Units to be Transferred. The LLC will give prompt notice of the Transfer to
each other Member. As a condition to such Transfer, the Transferor Member will cause the
Permitted Transferee to execute and deliver to the Managing Member and each other Member an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form of Exhibit D, and upon consummation
of the Transfer, such Permitted Transferee will be a Member and will be subject to all
rights and obligations of the Transferor Member under this Agreement.

     (b) Except as provided in Section 7.9(h) or Section 8.12, before any Permitted
Transferee ceases to qualify as a Permitted Transferee of the relevant Member, such
Permitted Transferee will Transfer full legal and beneficial ownership of the Units to the
relevant Member or, subject to this Article VIII, another Permitted Transferee of the
relevant Member. If such a Transfer is not made in accordance with the immediately
preceding sentence, then in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity,
any Class B Common Stock held by such non-
qualifying Permitted Transferee will be immediately redeemed by the Company for its
Par Value per share in accordance with the terms of the Equityholders’ Agreement and the
Charter.

     (c) Except as provided in Section 8.12, before any Member (if not a Parent), or any
Subsidiary of a Parent that Controls such Member, ceases to be a direct or indirect wholly
owned Subsidiary of its Parent, or, in the case of BHN, less than 100% of the economic and
voting interests in BHN cease to be Controlled by BHN’s Parent, such Member will Transfer
full legal and beneficial ownership of its Units to its Parent or, subject to this Article
VIII, another Permitted Transferee of its Parent. In the event of a breach of the
immediately preceding sentence, then, in addition to all other remedies available at law or
in equity, each share of Class B Common Stock held by such Member will be immediately
redeemed by the Company for its Par Value per share in accordance with the terms of the
Equityholders’ Agreement and the Charter.

34

 

     8.3. Further Restrictions.

     (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event may any
Transfer of a Unit be made by any Member, Assignee, Permitted Transferee or Permitted
Designee if:

     (i) the Transfer is made to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or
capacity to own the Unit;

     (ii) the Transfer would require the registration of the Transferred Unit or of
any class or series of Unit under any applicable United States federal or state
securities Laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act) or other foreign securities Laws or would constitute a non-exempt distribution
under applicable state securities Laws;

     (iii) the Transfer would cause any portion of the assets of the LLC to
constitute assets of any employee benefit plan under the regulations issued by the
U.S. Department of Labor at Section 2510.3-101 of Part 2510 of Chapter XXV, Title 29
of the Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor regulations;

     (iv) the Transfer would cause any portion of the assets of the LLC to become
“plan assets” of any benefit plan investor within the meaning of regulations issued
by the U.S. Department of Labor at Section 2510.3-101 of Part 2510 of Chapter XXV,
Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor regulations, or to be
regulated under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from
time to time; or

     (v) to the extent reasonably requested by the Managing Member, the LLC does not
receive the legal and tax opinions and written instruments (including, without
limitation, copies of any instruments of Transfer and the Assignee’s consent to be
bound by this Agreement as an Assignee) that are in a form reasonably satisfactory
to the Managing Member.

     (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Member (including the
Managing Member), Assignee, Permitted Transferee or Permitted Designee will Transfer any or
all of its Units, or take (or permit any Affiliate to take) any other action, if the
Transfer or action would cause the LLC to have more than 100 partners for purposes of
Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(1), taking into account the rules of Regulations
Section 1.7704-1(h)(3), or
otherwise could (by itself or in conjunction with other actions) reasonably be
expected to result in the LLC being treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the
meaning of Code Section 7704 and the Regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of
the preceding sentence, each Member (including the Managing Member), Assignee, Permitted
Transferee or Permitted Designee shall both be permitted and required, as the case may be,
to assume that the Initial Units of each other Equityholder Group are held, for purposes of
Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(1), taking into account the rules of Regulations Section
1.7704-1(h)(3), by a number of partners equal to the Maximum Number of Holders of the
applicable Equityholder Group, and shall be required to take into account any additional
information as to the number of partners for purposes of Code Section 7704 (for example, as
to Units issued after the Effective Date) provided to such Member in writing by the
Managing Member. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no such Member,
Assignee, Permitted Transferee or Permitted Designee will Transfer its Units, or take (or
permit any Affiliate to take) any other action, to the extent that such Transfer or action
would cause the Initial Units of the applicable Equityholder Group to be held, for purposes
of Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(1), taking into account the rules of Regulations Section
1.7704-1(h)(3), by a number of partners that is greater than the Maximum Number of Holders of such Equityholder Group. For this purpose, except to the
extent that Code Section 7704 requires otherwise, Section 8.1(a)(iii) (other than the first
and last sentences thereof) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, in determining the number of
partners for purposes of Code Section 7704 that hold Initial Units of an Equityholder
Group. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, any Transfer or action in violation of this
Section 8.3(b) will be null and void, ab initio.

35

 

     8.4. Rights of Assignees. The Transferee of any permitted Transfer under this
Article VIII (other than (x) a Transfer in an Exchange Transaction, (y) a Transfer to a
Permitted Transferee or a Permitted Designee and (z) as otherwise provided in Section 8.8(h) with
respect to Eagle River) will be an Assignee, and only will receive, to the extent Transferred, the
distributions and allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit or similar item to which the
Member that Transferred its Units would otherwise be entitled, and, unless otherwise required by
Law, the Assignee will not be entitled or enabled to exercise any other rights or powers of a
Member including any information rights that may be available to a Member under this Agreement, the
Equityholders’ Agreement or under the Act.

     8.5. Admissions, Withdrawals and Removals. Except for Permitted Transferees and
Permitted Designees and as otherwise provided in Section 8.8(h) with respect to Eagle River, no
Person may be admitted to the LLC as an additional Member or substitute Member. No Member will be
removed or entitled to withdraw from being a Member of the LLC except in accordance with Section
7.9 or Section 8.7. The Company may be removed as Managing Member only upon the affirmative vote
of 75% of the outstanding Voting Units. The Managing Member may not Transfer all of its Units or
withdraw from being the Managing Member of the LLC unless a new or substitute Managing Member has
been admitted under this Agreement (and has not previously withdrawn), which new or substitute
Managing Member may be deemed admitted effective simultaneously with the Transfer, and is hereby
authorized to, and will, continue the LLC without dissolution. Except as otherwise provided in
Article IX, no admission, substitution, withdrawal or removal of a Member will cause the
dissolution of the LLC. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, any purported admission,
withdrawal or removal that is not in accordance with this Agreement will be null and void.

     8.6. Void Transfers. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of Units in violation of any
provision of this Agreement will be void, ab initio.

     8.7. Withdrawal of Certain Members. If a Member ceases to hold any Units, then the
Member will cease to be a Member and to have the power to exercise any rights or powers of a Member
under this Agreement.

     8.8. Right of First Offer.

     (a) Subject to Section 8.1, 8.11 and the remaining provisions of this Section 8.8, if
a Member (for purposes of this Section 8.8, a “Selling Member”) desires to Transfer
(other than as part of an Excluded Transfer) all or any portion of its Units (the Units
proposed to be Transferred by the Selling Member, the “Subject Units”), the Selling
Member will notify each of the remaining Members that then owns (together with the
particular Member’s Permitted Transferees and Permitted Designees) a number of Units equal
to at least 50% of its Original Units (for purposes of this Section 8.8, such remaining
Members and their respective Permitted Transferees and Permitted Designees, the
“Non-Selling Members”) in writing prior to entering into any agreement with respect
to the proposed Transfer of the Subject Units. That notice (the “Interest Notice”)
will set forth the number of Subject Units that the Selling Member desires to Transfer, and
the material terms of a transaction in which the Selling Member is willing to engage,
including a proposed Transfer price, payable in cash.

36

 

     (b) Within 30 days of its receipt of the Interest Notice, each of the Non-Selling
Members may notify the Selling Member in writing as to whether it intends to purchase all
or any portion of the Subject Units on the terms and conditions set forth in the Interest
Notice (the “Response Notice”). Any Response Notice from a Non-Selling Member who
wishes to exercise its right to purchase more than the number of Subject Units set forth in
subsection (i) below assuming all Non-Selling Members do not exercise their rights in full
under this Section 8.8 will state the maximum number of Subject Units that it wishes to
purchase. A Response Notice will constitute a binding and irrevocable election by the
Non-Selling Member delivering such Response Notice to purchase the portion of the Subject
Units specified therein.

     (i) If the Response Notices of the Non-Selling Members present an offer,
collectively, for all but not less than all of the Subject Units, the parties will
consummate the sale of the Subject Units at the time and in the manner set forth in
Sections 8.8(b) and 8.8(c). Unless otherwise agreed by the Non-Selling Members, the
right to purchase the Subject Units will be allocated among the Non-Selling Members
pro rata based on their relative Percentage Interests as of the date of the Interest
Notice (or, if fewer than all of the Non-Selling Members elect to purchase, based on
the relative Percentage Interests (as of the date of the Interest Notice) of the
Non-Selling Members that elect to purchase the Subject Units in accordance with this
Section 8.8). If there are two or more Non-Selling Members that exercise their
option to purchase more than their pro rata share of Subject Units for a total
number of excess Subject Units in excess of the number of available Subject Units,
such excess Subject Units shall be allocated among such Non-Selling Members on a pro
rata basis based on their respective Percentage Interests as of the date of the
Interest Notice. All calculations under this subsection (i) will be made on an
as-converted to Class A Common Stock basis (i.e., each share of Class B Common
Stock, plus one Class B Common Unit, will equal one share of Class A Common Stock in
such calculations).

     (ii) If none of the Non-Selling Members delivers a Response Notice or if the
Response Notices of the Non-Selling Members, collectively, present an offer for less
than all of the Subject Units, the Non-Selling Members will be deemed to have
declined to exercise their rights under this Section 8.8 and, subject to
Section 8.1, Section 8.3, Sections 8.8(c) and 8.8(d), and Section 8.9 (if the
Selling Member is the Principal Member), the Selling Member may proceed with the
proposed Transfer of such Subject Units to the proposed Transferee based on the
terms and conditions set forth in the Interest Notice.

     (c) A Selling Member may Transfer Subject Units pursuant to Section 8.8(b)(ii) to a
proposed Transferee (other than a Non-Selling Member) only if:

     (i) the proposed Transferee is not an Affiliate of the Selling Member,

     (ii) the Transfer is consummated on arm’s-length terms at a price not lower,
and on other terms and conditions no more favorable, in the aggregate, to the
Transferee than those last offered by the Non-Selling Members, and

     (iii) the Selling Member enters into a definitive agreement to Transfer all of
the Subject Units within 90 days of obtaining the right to do so in accordance with
Section 8.8(b)(i) or (ii), as applicable, and consummates the Transfer within 180
days after entering into the definitive agreement (which 180-day period will be
extended if the Transfer is subject to regulatory approval until the expiration of
five Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than 270 days
after entering into the definitive agreement).

37

 

If the proposed Transfer does not comply with clauses (i) or (ii) above, or if the
Selling Member fails to enter into a definitive agreement within the 90-day period,
or fails to consummate the Transfer within the 180-day period (as may be extended
pursuant to clause (iii) above), the Selling Member’s right to Transfer the Subject
Units under those clauses will terminate, and the Selling Member will be required to
initiate the process set forth in this Section 8.8 before Transferring all or any
portion of its Units (other than in an Excluded Transfer).

     (d) If a Selling Member Transfers Subject Units to a proposed Transferee (other than a
Non-Selling Member) in accordance with this Section 8.8, the Transfer by the Selling Member
will be subject to the other terms and restrictions of this Agreement.

     (e) The closing of the purchase of any Subject Units by the Non-Selling Members will
take place at the offices of the Company, or at another location mutually agreed by the
parties to the sale, on a date mutually agreed by the parties to the sale that is no later
than the latest of

     (i) the date specified in the Interest Notice as the intended date of the
proposed Transfer, and

     (ii) 45 days after delivery of the applicable Response Notice or if approvals
of any Governmental Authority are required, then five Business Days following the
expiration of whatever period is required to obtain any necessary regulatory
approvals in connection with the sale, but in no event more than 180 days after
delivery of the applicable Response Notice.

     (f) At the closing of the purchase of any Subject Units by the Non-Selling Members,
the Selling Member will deliver

     (i) if the Subject Units are certificated, a certificate or certificates for
the Subject Units to be sold, in each case accompanied by stock powers with
signatures guaranteed and all necessary stock transfer Taxes paid and stamps
affixed, if necessary, or

     (ii) if the Subject Units are uncertificated, proper transfer instructions from
the Selling Member or the Selling Member’s lawfully constituted attorney-in-fact,
accompanied by evidence that all necessary stock transfer Taxes have been paid and
evidence of compliance with appropriate procedures for transferring Units in
uncertificated form, in either case against receipt of the purchase price therefor
by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available
funds.

     (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 8.8 will not apply
to (an “Excluded Transfer”):

     (i) any Transfer of Units that is part of a merger, consolidation, share or
unit exchange, recapitalization, business combination or other similar transaction
involving the LLC, in each case, that constitutes a Change of Control of the Company
and the LLC and that has been approved by the Company Board and the stockholders of the
Company as required by the Equityholders’ Agreement and Law,

38

 

     (ii) a Spin-Off Transaction; provided, however, that following a Spin-Off
Transaction, the Spin-Off Entity will be subject to each of the obligations and
enjoy each of the rights of the Spinning Entity for all purposes under this
Agreement,

     (iii) a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee,

     (iv) any Exchange Transaction, or

     (v) any Transfer by a Tag-Along Member pursuant to Section 8.9.

     (h) For purposes of this Section 8.8, if the Company does not exercise its right to
acquire any Subject Units pursuant to this Section 8.8, then

     (i) Eagle River will be considered a “Non-Selling Member” as long as Eagle
River owns (together with Eagle River’s Permitted Transferees), at the time of
delivery of a particular Interest Notice, at least 50% of the Eagle River Original
Shares (as that term is defined in the Equityholders’ Agreement), and

     (ii) Eagle River’s Percentage Interest will be deemed to be its Percentage
Interest in the Company (as that term is used in the Equityholders’ Agreement).

If Eagle River exercises its rights under this Section 8.8 and acquires Units in the LLC,
then at that time, if not previously admitted as a Member, Eagle River will be admitted as a
Member of the LLC by the Managing Member in accordance with Section 8.5.

     (i) The Strategic Investors, acting through the Strategic Investor Representative,
will exercise their rights pursuant to this Section 8.8 as a group, and the Strategic
Investor Group will be deemed to be a single “Non-Selling Member” for purposes of
calculating the number of Subject Units which the Strategic Investor Group is entitled to
purchase under Section 8.8(b)(i). Unless the Strategic Investors otherwise agree (as
notified by the Strategic Investor Representative to the Selling Member and the other
Members), Subject Units to be Transferred by or to the Strategic Investor Group (whether as
a Selling Member or a Non-Selling Member) will be allocated among the Strategic Investors
based on their relative Percentage Interests within the Strategic Investor Group.

     8.9. Tag-Along Rights.

     (a) Subject to Sections 8.1, 8.8 and 8.11 and the remaining provisions of this Section
8.9, if the Principal Member proposes to Transfer (other than as part of an Excluded
Transfer described in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 8.8(g)), in one
transaction or a series of related transactions, directly or indirectly, all or any portion
of its Units, and such transaction or series of related transactions would result in the
proposed Transferee and its Affiliates (collectively referred to as the “Proposed
Transferee”) having a Percentage Interest (assuming the Transferee would be admitted as
a Member) immediately after the proposed Transfer equal to or greater than the Specified
Percentage, then the Principal Member will promptly notify the other Members (other than
the Company, but including Eagle River, if Eagle River has become a Member in accordance
with this Agreement) (for purposes of this Section 8.9, the “Tag-Along Members”),
in writing at least 30 days before the closing of the proposed Transfer (a “Tag-Along Notice”) setting forth the number of Units proposed to be Transferred
(for purposes of this Section 8.9, the “Sale Units”), the nature of the proposed
Transfer, the aggregate consideration to be paid for the Sale Units (including the type of
consideration to be paid), the name and address of each Proposed Transferee, the proposed
closing date of the Transfer and any other material information regarding the terms of the
proposed Transfer and the Proposed Transferee.

39

 

     (b) With respect to Sale Units, each of the
Tag-Along Members will have the right,
exercisable on delivery of written notice to the Principal Member within 30 days after
receipt of the Tag-Along Notice, to irrevocably elect to sell a portion of its Units, on
the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, in lieu of Sale Units.
The number of Units to be substituted by each electing Tag-Along Member will equal the
product of the number of Sale Units, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of Units owned by such Tag-Along Member and the denominator of which is the
total number of Units owned by the Members at the time the Tag-Along Notice is delivered.

     (c) If none of the
Tag-Along Members makes a timely election to exercise its
tag-along rights under Section 8.9(b), the Principal Member may sell all, but not less than all, of
the Sale Units to the Proposed Transferee provided that such Transfer is consummated on
arm’s-length terms at a price not higher, and on other terms and conditions no more
favorable, in the aggregate, to the Principal Member than the terms and conditions set
forth in the Tag-Along Notice. In addition,

     (i) any material change in the terms and conditions contained in the
Tag-Along Notice (that is more favorable to the Principal Member) will constitute a new
proposal to Transfer for purposes of this Section 8.9, and

     (ii) definitive documents for the sale by the Principal Member must be executed
on or prior to the 90th day following the expiration of the
Tag-Along Members’
tag-along rights under this Section 8.9 and consummated within 180 days following
the expiration of such
tag-along rights (which 180-day period will be extended if
the Transfer is subject to regulatory approval until the expiration of five Business
Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than 270
days following the expiration of such tag-along rights), and if the sale is not
executed within the 90-day period and consummated within the 180-day period (as may
be extended for the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals), the Sale Units will
again become subject to the rights of the Tag-Along
Members under this Section 8.9.

     (d) If any of the
Tag-Along Members elects to exercise its
tag-along rights under
Section 8.9(b), the number of Sale Units to be Transferred by the Principal Member to the
Proposed Transferee will be reduced by the applicable number of Units to be included in the
Transfer by the applicable Tag-Along Members, and the Transfer to the Proposed Transferee
will otherwise proceed in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.9 and the
Tag-Along Notice.

     (e) The closing of the sale of any Units elected to be sold by the
Tag-Along Members
pursuant to this Section 8.9, will take place at the offices of the Company, or at another
location mutually agreed by the parties to the sale, and on a date mutually agreed by the
parties to the sale that is no later than the latest of

40

 

     (i) the date specified in the Tag-Along Notice as the intended date of the
proposed Transfer to the Proposed Transferee,

     (ii) 90 days after delivery of the applicable Tag-Along Notice, and

     (iii) five Business Days following the expiration of whatever period is
required to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals in connection with the sale.

     (f) The following will apply to any Transfer of Sale Units (whether by the Principal
Member or by the Tag-Along Members):

     (i) the Transfer by the Principal Member (and any Tag-Along Members, if
applicable) will be subject to the other terms and restrictions of this Agreement,
and

     (ii) any future proposed Transfer of Units other than the Sale Units by the
Principal Member (and any Tag-Along Members, if applicable) will remain subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including this Article VIII.

   (g) The Strategic Investors, acting through the Strategic Investor Representative,
will exercise their rights pursuant to this Section 8.9 as a group, and the Strategic
Investor Group will be deemed to be a single “Tag-Along Member” for purposes of calculating
the number of Units which the Strategic Investor Group is entitled to sell as a Tag-Along
Member. Unless the Strategic Investors otherwise agree (as notified by the Strategic
Investor Representative to the Principal Member and the other Members), Sale Units to be
Transferred by the Strategic Investor Group (whether as a Principal Member or as a
Tag-Along Member) will be allocated among the Strategic Investors based on their relative
Percentage Interests within the Strategic Investor Group.

     8.10. Transfers to a Restricted Entity. For purposes of this Section 8.10,
“Consenting Member” means, at any time, each of Sprint, Intel and the Strategic Investor
Group if, at the applicable time, such Member together with its Permitted Transferees or Permitted
Designees (or the Strategic Investor Group, as the case may be):

     (x)
owns a number of Units equal, in the aggregate, to at least 50% of its Original
Units, and

     (y) holds an aggregate Percentage Interest of at least 5%.

The Principal Member and its Permitted Transferees and Permitted Designees will not Transfer any of
their Units to:

     (a) any Strategic Investor Restricted Entity without the prior written consent of the
Strategic Investor Representative (acting on behalf of the Strategic Investors), if the
Strategic Investor Group is then a Consenting Member,

     (b) any Intel Restricted Entity without Intel’s prior written consent, if Intel is
then a Consenting Member, or

     (c) any Sprint Restricted Entity without Sprint’ prior written consent, if Sprint is
then a Consenting Member,

41

 

     in each case, if:

     (x) such Transfer would constitute a Change of Control of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, or

     (y) after giving effect to such Transfer, the applicable Restricted Entity
would have a Percentage Interest (assuming the applicable Restricted Entity would be
admitted as a Member) in excess of the Specified Percentage, or would have the
contractual right to acquire Units that would give the Restricted Entity, in the
aggregate, a Percentage Interest (assuming the applicable Restricted Entity would be
admitted as a Member) in excess of the Specified Percentage immediately after the
acquisition of those Units, as applicable.

     8.11. Limitations Prior to the Adjustment Date. Notwithstanding anything in this
Article VIII to the contrary, prior to the Adjustment Date:

     (a) the Members and their Permitted Transferees and Permitted Designees will not, and
will cause their Controlled Affiliates not to, in any manner, directly or indirectly
(through an agent, representative or otherwise), Transfer (other than to a Permitted
Transferee) any Units or exchange any Class B Common Units (together with shares of Class B
Common Stock) for shares of Class A Common Stock;

     (b) none of the Members will, or will permit any of its Affiliates to, in any manner,
directly or indirectly (whether through an agent, representative or otherwise), acquire,
offer to acquire, publicly announce an intention to acquire, or agree to acquire, by
purchase, gift or otherwise, any Units or any direct or indirect interest in any Units
(including any arrangement to provide the economic performance of all or any portion of
such Units (including by means of any option, swap, forward or other contract or
arrangement the value of which is linked in whole or in part to the value of such Units));

     (c) the LLC shall not take, authorize, commit or agree to take, any of the following
actions (or publicly announce any intention to do so):

     (i) issue, deliver, grant or sell, or authorize or propose the issuance,
delivery, grant or sale of, any Units other than any issuance of securities
described in clause (ii), (iii) or (v) of Section 7.10(d);

     (ii) repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any Units, except for any
repurchase or redemption deemed to occur upon any “cashless exercise” in connection
with the issuance of any securities described in clause (ii) or (v) of Section
7.10(d); or

     (iii) declare, set aside for payment or pay any dividends on or make other
distributions (whether in cash, stock or property) in respect of any Units.

     8.12. Holding Company Transfers.

     (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

     (i) Any Transfer that is permitted under this Article VIII (other than a
Holding Company Exchange under Section 7.9(h)) may, at the option of a Member that
is a Unit Holding Company, be effected as a transfer by the Unit Holding Company
Stockholder of all of its securities in such Unit Holding Company (a “Holding
Company Transfer”).

     (ii) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) prior to effecting any Holding Company
Transfer, the transferor must comply, mutatis mutandis, with the provisions of
(x) Section 8.8 by offering to the Non-Selling Members the opportunity to purchase
directly the Units held by the Unit Holding Company that is the subject of the
proposed Holding Company Transfer (as opposed to the equity securities of the Unit
Holding Company) and (y) Section 8.9, and (ii) any Tag-Along Member may propose that
a Transfer of its Units pursuant to Section 8.9 be effected as a Holding Company
Transfer of the Unit Holding Company holding such Tag-Along Member’s Units, but such
proposal will not be binding upon the transferee, in which case such Tag-Along
Member may Transfer its Units in the Tag-Along Sale. Notwithstanding
Section 8.8(c)(ii), the price paid for securities of the Unit Holding Company in a
transfer to a transferee (other than a Non-Selling Member) will be not lower than
the product of (x) the transfer price proposed to the Non-Selling Members in the
Interest Notice (assuming that 100% of the Unit Holding Company is being
transferred) and (y) the number of Subject Units held by the Unit Holding Company.
The purchase price to be received by any Tag-Along Member pursuant to Section 8.9 in
a Holding Company Transfer will equal the quotient of (x) the aggregate
consideration received for the equity securities of the Unit Holding Company being
transferred (assuming that 100% of the Unit Holding Company is being Transferred)
divided by (y) the number of Units held by the Unit Holding Company.

     (iii) If a Holding Company Transfer is effected pursuant to this Section 8.12
in connection with a Transfer described in
Section 8.8(b)(i) or Section 8.9, the
Unit Holding Company Stockholder and its Affiliates will be responsible for, and
will indemnify and hold the Transferee and each of its Affiliates harmless against,
(x) Tax of a Unit Holding Company incurred in such Holding Company Transfer and (y)
all liabilities of the Unit Holding Company and its Affiliates (including
liabilities for Taxes not described in clause (x)) to the extent such liabilities
are attributable to periods through and including the date of the Holding Company
Transfer (except to the extent attributable to the period after the closing of the
Holding Company Transfer), including any liability of the Unit Holding Company
arising by reason of being a member of an affiliated, combined, consolidated or
other Tax group on or prior to the Holding Company Transfer.

     8.13. Transfers, Assignments of Interest Subject to Required Governmental Notices and/or
Consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any transfer, assignment or other
disposition of interests in the LLC shall be subject to the prior receipt of any required consents
from, or the submission of any required notices to, any Governmental Authorities.

ARTICLE IX

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

     9.1. No Dissolution. The LLC will not be dissolved by the admission of additional
Members in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The LLC may be dissolved, liquidated and
terminated only under the provisions of this Article IX, and the Members irrevocably waive to the fullest
extent permitted by Law any and all other rights they may have to cause a dissolution of the LLC or
a sale or partition of any or all of the LLC assets.

43

 

     9.2. Events Causing Dissolution. Subject to Sections 2.6 and 2.7 of the
Equityholders’ Agreement, the LLC will be dissolved and its affairs will be wound up on the
occurrence of any of the following events (each, a “Dissolution Event”):

     (a) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, other than any dissolution, liquidation or winding up in connection with any
reincorporation of the Company in another jurisdiction;

     (b) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 17-802 of the Act;

     (c) at any time there are no Members of the LLC, unless the LLC is continued in
accordance with the Act;

     (d) the Incapacity of the Managing Member or the occurrence of a Disabling Event with
respect to the Managing Member, except that the LLC will not be dissolved or required to be
wound up and no Dissolution Event will occur in connection with any of the events specified
in this Section 9.2(d) if:

     (i) when the event occurs there is at least one other Managing Member of the
LLC who is authorized to, and elects to, carry on the business of the LLC;

     (ii) all remaining Members consent to or ratify the continuation of the
business of the LLC and the appointment of another Managing Member of the LLC within
90 days following the effective date of the Incapacity (to be effective as of the
date of Incapacity), which consent will be deemed (and if requested each Member will
provide a written consent for ratification) to have been given for all Members if
the holders of more than two-thirds of the Units then outstanding held by Members
other than the Managing Member agree in writing to continue the business of the LLC;
or

     (e) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets owned
directly or indirectly by the LLC.

     9.3. Distribution on Dissolution Events. If a Dissolution Event occurs, the LLC will
not be terminated and will continue until the winding up of the affairs of the LLC is complete. On
the winding up of the LLC, the Managing Member, or any other Person designated by the Managing
Member (the “Liquidation Agent”), will take full account of the assets and liabilities of
the LLC and will, unless the Managing Member determines otherwise, liquidate the assets of the LLC
as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value of the assets. The proceeds of any
Dissolution Event will be applied and distributed in the following order:

     (a) first, to satisfy debts and liabilities of the LLC (including any amounts payable
or reimbursable to the Company pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 and all other indebtedness
to Members and their Affiliates to the extent otherwise permitted by Law) including the
expenses of liquidation (whether by payment or making reasonable provision for payment);

44

 

     (b) second, to the Company in redemption and complete liquidation of its Voting Units
that were issued in connection with the issuance of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, an amount equal to the aggregate Par Value of
all outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (excluding for this
purpose any shares of Class A Common Stock issued by the Company to fund Other Business
Activities); and

     (c) the balance, if any, to the holders of Common Units in redemption and complete
liquidation of their Common Units, to be distributed among those holders pro rata in
proportion to their respective Common Units.

To the extent feasible, any indebtedness owed to the LLC by a Member will be distributed to that
Member and will be deemed to have a fair market value equal to its principal amount plus accrued
but unpaid interest. It is intended that the allocation provisions of Article V will
produce final Capital Account balances of the Members that would permit liquidating distributions,
if those distributions were made in accordance with final Capital Account balances (instead of
being made in the order of priorities set forth in this Section 9.3) to be made in a manner
identical to the order of priorities set forth in this Section 9.3. To the extent that the
allocation provisions of Article V would fail to produce the intended final Capital Account
balances, Profits and Losses (including items of gross income or deductions if required to fulfill
the intent of this Section 9.3) will be reallocated among the Members for the Taxable Year of the
liquidation (and, if necessary and to the extent that the reallocation of corresponding Tax items
is permissible under the Code, prior and subsequent Taxable Years) so as to cause the balances in
the Capital Accounts to be in the intended amounts.

     9.4. Time for Liquidation. A reasonable amount of time will be allowed for the
orderly liquidation of the assets of the LLC and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to
enable the Liquidation Agent to minimize the losses attendant on the liquidation.

     9.5. Termination. The LLC will terminate when all of the assets of the LLC, after
payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the LLC, have been
distributed to the holders of Units in the manner provided for in this Article IX, and the
Certificate has been cancelled in the manner required by the Act.

     9.6. Claims of the Members. The Members will look solely to the LLC’s assets for the
return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the LLC remaining after payment of or
due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the LLC are insufficient to return the
Capital Contributions, the Members will have no recourse against the LLC or any other Member
(including the Managing Member) or any other Person. No Member with a negative balance in the
Member’s Capital Account will have any obligation to the LLC or to the other Members or to any
creditor or other Person to restore the negative balance during the existence of the LLC, on
dissolution or termination of the LLC, or otherwise.

     9.7. Survival of Certain Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, the provisions of Sections 8.6, 11.4, 11.6, 11.7, 11.8, 11.12, 11.14, 11.15, 11.16 and
11.17 will survive the termination of the LLC.

ARTICLE X

LIABILITY OF MEMBERS

     10.1. Liability of Members.

     (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided by the Act, no Member will be liable for
any debt obligation or liability of the LLC or of any other Member or have any obligation
to restore any deficit balance in its Capital Account solely by reason of being a Member
of the LLC.

45

 

     (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any duty otherwise
existing at Law or in equity, each Member (including the Managing Member), will, to the
maximum extent permitted by Law, including Section 18-1101(d) of the Act, owe no fiduciary
duties to the LLC, the other Members or any other Person bound by this Agreement as long as
the Members (including the Managing Member) act in accordance with the implied contractual
covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement,
whenever in this Agreement a Member is permitted or required to take any action or to make
a decision, the Member may take the action or make the decision in its sole discretion, and
the Member may consider, and make its determination based on, the interests and factors as
it desires. No Member will have any liability to the LLC or the other Members except as
provided in this Agreement.

     (c) The Members (including without limitation, the Managing Member) acting under this
Agreement will not be liable to the LLC or to any other Member for breach of fiduciary duty
for their good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this
Agreement, to the extent that they expand or restrict or eliminate the duties and
liabilities of any Member (including without limitation, the Managing Member) otherwise
existing at Law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to modify to that extent the other
duties and liabilities of the Members (including without limitation, the Managing Member).

     (d) The Managing Member may consult with legal counsel, accountants and financial or
other advisors and any act or omission suffered or taken by the Managing Member on behalf
of the LLC or in furtherance of the interests of the LLC in good faith in reliance on and
in accordance with the advice of the counsel, accountants or financial or other advisors
will be full justification for that act or omission, and the Managing Member will be fully
protected in acting or omitting to act so long as the counsel or accountants or financial
or other advisors were selected with reasonable care.

     (e) Except as specifically and expressly set forth in

     (i) this Agreement,

     (ii) any other written agreement with the LLC, the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries to which a Member or its Affiliate is a party, or

     (iii) the organizational documents of the Company (including the Charter),

(x) the Members and their respective Affiliates may engage in the same or similar business
activities or lines of business as the LLC, compete against the LLC, do business with any
potential or actual competitor, customer or supplier of the LLC and employ or otherwise
engage any officer or employee of the Company, in each case only to the extent that a
Founding Stockholder of the Company is permitted to do so under Section 11.1 of the Charter
and (y) if a Member acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a
corporate opportunity or otherwise of interest to the Member and the LLC, the Member will
have a duty to communicate or present the corporate opportunity to the LLC, only to the
extent that a Founding Stockholder of the Company would have an obligation to present the
corporate opportunity to the Company in accordance with Section 11.1 of the Charter.

of the affected Member;

     (ii) the admission, substitution or withdrawal of Members in accordance with
this Agreement;

     (iii) a change in the name of the LLC, the location of the principal place of

The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by Law.

47

 

     (d) Except as may be otherwise required by Law in connection with the winding-up,

the LLC’s property.

     11.6. Confidentiality.

     (a) Each Member agrees that Confidential Information has been and may in the future be
made available in connection with such Member’s investment in the LLC. Each Member
acknowledges and agrees that it shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any
Person or use any Confidential Information, except that Confidential Information (x) may be
used solely in connection with the Member’s investment in the Company and the LLC and not
in connection with any of its other business operations and (y) may be disclosed:

     (i) to such Member’s Representatives in the normal course of the performance of
their duties,

     (ii) to the extent required by Law, rule or regulation (including complying
with any oral or written questions, interrogatories, requests for information or
documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process to which a Member
is subject, provided that such Member agrees to give the LLC prompt notice of such
request(s), to the extent practicable, so that the LLC may seek an appropriate
protective order or similar relief (and the Member shall cooperate with such efforts
by the LLC, and shall in any event make only the minimum disclosure required by such
Law, rule or regulation)),

     (iii) to any Person with whom such Member is contemplating a financing
transaction or to whom such Member is contemplating a Transfer of its Units,
provided that such Transfer would not be in violation of the provisions of this
Agreement and such potential transferee is advised of the confidential nature of
such information and agrees to be bound by a confidentiality agreement consistent
with the provisions hereof,

     (iv) to any regulatory authority or rating agency to which such Member or any
of its Affiliates is subject or with which it has regular dealings, as long as such
authority or agency is advised of the confidential nature of such information,

     (v) to the extent related to the tax treatment and tax structure of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including all materials of any kind,
such as opinions or other tax analyses that the LLC, its Affiliates or its
Representatives have provided to such Member relating to such tax treatment and tax
structure), provided that the foregoing does not constitute an authorization to
disclose the identity of any existing or future party to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or their Affiliates or Representatives, or, except to
the extent relating to such tax structure or tax treatment, any specific pricing
terms or commercial or financial information,

     (vi) in the case of the Strategic Investor Representative or any member of the
Strategic Investor Group, to any other member of the Strategic Investor Group, or

     (vii) if the prior written consent of the Company Board shall have been
obtained.

Nothing contained herein shall prevent the use (subject, to the extent possible, to a
protective order) of Confidential Information in connection with the assertion or defense of
any claim by or against the Company, the LLC or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any
Member.

52

 

     (b) “Confidential Information” means any information concerning the LLC or any
Persons that are or become its Subsidiaries or the financial condition, business,
operations or prospects of the LLC or any such Persons in the possession of or furnished to
any Member under this Agreement, provided that the term “Confidential Information” does not
include information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as

stockholders, members, partners, agents, counsel, auditors, investment advisers or other
representatives (all such persons being collectively referred to as
“Representatives”) in violation of this Agreement, (ii) was available to such
Member on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to such Member or its
Representatives by the LLC, (iii) becomes available to such Member on a non-confidential
basis from a source other than the LLC after the disclosure of such information to such
Member or its Representatives by the LLC, which source is (at the time of receipt of the
relevant information) not, to the best of such Member’s knowledge, bound by a
confidentiality agreement with (or other confidentiality obligation to) the LLC or another
Person, (iv) is independently developed by such Member without violating any
confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation of secrecy to, the LLC or (v) is
received by a Member under or in connection with other commercial contracts, agreements or
arrangements with the Company (which information shall be governed by the terms of those
contracts, agreements or arrangements).

     11.7. Strategic Investor Representative.

     (a) Each Strategic Investor hereby acknowledges that the Strategic Investor
Representative is authorized to take all actions that are designated herein to be performed
by the Strategic Investor Group, as a group, and to do or refrain from doing all further
acts and things, and to execute all documents, as the Strategic Investor Representative
deems necessary or appropriate in furtherance of any of the foregoing, including:

     (i) to receive and deliver all notices, communications and deliveries on behalf
of the Strategic Investor Group under this Agreement;

     (ii) to provide consent on behalf of the Strategic Investor Group for any
matter that requires the consent of the Strategic Investor Group under this
Agreement; and

     (iii) to exercise any right or election on behalf of the Strategic Investor
Group under this Agreement.

     (b) The Company, the LLC and each Member (other than the Strategic Investors) may
conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, on any actions of the Strategic Investor
Representative authorized under this Agreement as the acts of the Strategic Investor Group
in all matters referred to in this Agreement.

     (c) Each of the Strategic Investors hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that the
Strategic Investor Representative is authorized to act on behalf of the Strategic Investor
Group notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among the Strategic Investors, and that
the Company, the LLC and any Member (other than the Strategic Investors) is entitled to
rely on any and all action by the Strategic Investor Representative specifically authorized
under this Agreement without liability to, or obligation to inquire of, any of the
Strategic Investors. The Strategic Investor Representative may, at any time upon notice to
the Managing Member and the other Members (upon which notice the Managing Member and the
other Members will be entitled to rely), appoint a substitute or replacement Strategic
Investor Representative.

53

 

     (d) Without in any way limiting the rights of the Company, the LLC and the Members
(other than the Strategic Investors), under this Section 11.7 or otherwise, to rely on any
and all action by the Strategic Investor Representative pursuant to this Agreement, each
Strategic Investor expressly acknowledges and agrees that the appointment of the Strategic
Investor Representative pursuant to Section 11.7(a) above, and all of the rights,
obligations, power and authority of the Strategic Investor under this Agreement, are
subject in all respects to the Strategic Investor Agreement.

     11.8. No Joint and Several Liability of the Members. The LLC, the Company and each
other Member acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will any Member be held jointly or
severally liable for the breach of any provision of this Agreement by any other Member or the
Strategic Investor Representative (it being understood that this Section 11.8 will not otherwise
limit the liability of any Member for its own breaches of this Agreement); provided that, in the
event of any breach of this Agreement by the Strategic Investor Representative (acting in its
capacity as such), each Strategic Investor shall be severally liable for a portion of any
liability, loss, cost, damage or expense (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or in connection
with such breach that is equal to such Strategic Investor’s Percentage Interest divided by the
aggregate Percentage Interest of the Strategic Investor Group.

     11.9. Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the Effective Date,
the parties will cooperate with each other as may be reasonably requested, and at the request of
any other party, will execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and, to the fullest
extent permitted by Law, will take all further action as the other party may reasonably request in
order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and to otherwise carry out the agreements and the intent of the parties under this Agreement.

     11.10. Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement,
this Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents (and, as among the Strategic
Investors only, the Strategic Investor Agreement), embodies the complete agreement and
understanding among the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or
among the parties, written or oral, that may have related to the subject matter of this Agreement
in any way.

     11.11. Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or
remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by another party under this
Agreement, will impair any right, power or remedy of any non-breaching and non-defaulting party,
nor will it be construed to be a waiver of any breach, default or noncompliance, or any
acquiescence in it, or of or in any similar breach, default or noncompliance later occurring. Any
waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party to this
Agreement of any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement or any waiver on that
party’s part of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and will be
effective only to the extent specifically set forth in that writing and to the extent permitted
under this Agreement. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or
requirement of this Agreement will be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of
any other provision, condition or requirement hereof. All remedies, either under this Agreement,
by Law, or otherwise afforded to any party, will be cumulative and not alternative.

     11.12. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement will be
governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Delaware. No suit, action or proceeding with
respect to this Agreement may be brought in any court or before any similar authority other than in a court of
competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, and the parties to this Agreement submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of those courts for the purpose of a suit, proceeding or judgment. Each
party to this Agreement irrevocably waives any right it may have had to bring an action in any
other court, domestic or foreign, or before any similar domestic or foreign authority. Each of the
parties to this Agreement irrevocably and unconditionally waives trial by jury in any legal action
or proceeding (including any counterclaim) in relation to this Agreement.

     11.13. Severability. When possible, each provision of this Agreement will be
interpreted so as to be effective and valid under Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any Law in any jurisdiction, that
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other
jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in that jurisdiction as
if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained in this Agreement and
the parties to this Agreement will use their Reasonable Best Efforts to find and employ an
alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by that
provision.

     11.14. Enforcement. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that money damages
would not be an adequate remedy if any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not
performed in accordance with its terms. If a party seeks an injunction, temporary restraining
order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin an alleged breach
and enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the other parties will not
raise the defense of an adequate remedy at law.

     11.15. No Recourse. Except as provided in any Guaranty, neither the LLC nor any
Member will, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding,
or by virtue of any Law, seek to hold liable under this Agreement or any documents or instruments
delivered in connection with this Agreement, any current or future stockholder, director, officer,
employee, general or limited partner or member of any Member or of any Affiliate or assignee
thereof. No current or future officer, agent or employee of any Member or any current or future
member of any Member or any current or future stockholder, director, officer, employee, partner or
member of any Member or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, will have any personal liability
whatsoever for any obligation of any Member under this Agreement or any documents or instruments
delivered in connection with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of
those obligations or their creation.

     11.16. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is entered into solely for the
benefit of the LLC and the Members, their respective Permitted Transferees, Permitted Designees and
successors and permitted assigns, and no other Person may exercise any right or enforce any
obligation under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, any obligation of the Members to
make Capital Contributions to the LLC under this Agreement is an agreement only among the Members
and no other person or entity, including the LLC, will have any rights to enforce those
obligations.

     11.17. Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which will be an original, but all of which together will
constitute one instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or pdf signature(s).

55

Agreement, authorizes the Managing Member to make, execute, sign, acknowledge, swear to, record and
file, in each case, on behalf of the LLC:
