forever discharges each Noteholder, each Collateral Agent and each of their respective parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, past or present, and each of them, as well as each of their respective directors, officers, agents, servants, employees,
shareholders, representatives, attorneys, administrators, executors, heirs, assigns, predecessors and successors in interest, and all other persons, firms or corporations with whom any of the former have

  
 -8-

 
been, are now, or may hereafter be affiliated, and each of them (collectively, the “Releasees”), from and against any and all claims, demands, liens, agreements, contracts,
covenants, actions, suits, causes of action in law or equity, obligations, controversies, debts, costs, expenses, damages, judgments, orders and liabilities of whatever kind or nature in law, equity or otherwise, whether known or unknown, fixed or
contingent, suspected or unsuspected by the Releasors, and whether concealed or hidden (collectively, “Claims”), which Releasors now own or hold or have at any time heretofore owned or held, which are based upon or arise out of or
in connection with any matter, cause or thing existing at any time prior to the date hereof or anything done, omitted or suffered to be done or omitted at any time prior to the date hereof in connection with the Note Documents or this Amendment and
Waiver (collectively the “Released Matters”). 
 (b) It is expressly understood and agreed that it is the
intent of Releasors to forever release claims against Releasees arising out of the Released Matters, but that nothing herein shall affect the obligations of the Releasees arising subsequent to the date hereof, including, but not by way of
limitation, compliance subsequent to the date hereof with all terms and conditions of this Amendment and Waiver and the Note Documents. 
 (c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Note Party for itself and on behalf of the other Releasors expressly releases any and all past, present and future claims in connection with the
Released Matters, about which the Releasors do not know or suspect to exist in their favor, whether through ignorance, oversight, error, negligence or otherwise, and which, if known, would materially affect any Releasor’s decision to enter into
this release. To this end, to the extent the release under this Section 12 is a release as to which Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or any similar provision of other applicable law applies, each Note Party for itself, and
on behalf of each of the other Releasors, waives all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or such similar provision of other applicable law, and acknowledges that Section 1542 of the California Civil Code provides as
follows: 
 “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his
favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” 
 The
waiver above of rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code is included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to mean that Section 1542 of the California Civil Code is in any way applicable to the
release hereunder. 
 (d) Each Note Party and each other Releasor knowingly and willingly waives the provisions of any law
referenced in paragraph (c) above and acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is an essential and material term of this release. Each Note Party and each other Releasor has reviewed this release with its legal counsel, and understands and
acknowledges the significance and consequence of this release and of the specific waiver thereof contained herein. 

  
 -9-

 (e) Each Releasor executing this Agreement represents, warrants and agrees that in executing
and entering into this release, it is not relying and has not relied upon any representation, promise or statement made by anyone which is not recited, contained or embodied in this Amendment and Waiver or the Note Documents. Each Releasor
understands and expressly assumes the risk that any fact not recited, contained or embodied therein may turn out hereafter to be other than, different from, or contrary to the facts now known to such Releasor or believed by such Releasor to be true.
Nevertheless, each Releasor intends by this release to release fully, finally and forever all Released Matters and agrees that this release shall be effective in all respects notwithstanding any such difference in facts, and shall not be subject to
termination, modification or rescission by reason of any such difference in facts. 
 Section 13. Governing Law. THIS
AMENDMENT AND WAIVER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 Section 14.
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. The scope of this waiver is intended to be
all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this transaction, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims. The
Parties each acknowledge that this waiver is a material inducement for the Parties to enter into a business relationship, that the Parties have already relied on the waiver in entering into this Amendment and Waiver and that each will continue to
rely on the waiver in their related future dealings. The Parties further warrant and represent that each has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that each knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation
with legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 14 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND
THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. In the event of litigation, this Amendment and Waiver may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court. 

Section 15. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Reference to and Effect on the Note Agreements and the Other Note Documents. On and after the date of this Amendment and Waiver, each reference in any Note Agreement to “this
Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of like import referring to such Note Agreement, and each reference in the other Note Documents to the “Purchase Agreement”, “Exchange
Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to such Note Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the applicable Amended Agreement. 

  
 -10-

 (b) Except as specifically amended by this Amendment and Waiver, the Note Agreements and the
other Note Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed. 
 (c) The execution, delivery
and performance of this Amendment and Waiver shall not, except as expressly provided herein, constitute a waiver of any provision of, or operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Holder under, any Note Agreement or any of the other
Note Documents. 
 Section 16. Fees and Expenses. NextWave acknowledges that all costs, fees and expenses as described in
Section 1.4 of the First Lien Purchase Agreement and Section 1.5 of the Second Lien Purchase Agreement incurred by the Holders with respect to this Amendment and Waiver and the documents and transactions contemplated hereby shall be for
the account of NextWave. Parent and NextWave each acknowledge that all costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 1.5 of the Third Lien Exchange Agreement incurred by the Holders with respect to this Amendment and Waiver and the documents
and transactions contemplated hereby shall be for the account of Parent and NextWave. NextWave agrees to pay the outstanding fees and expenses of the Collateral Agent (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses) on the date of
delivery of the Collateral Agent’s signature page to NextWave. 
 Section 17. Headings. Section and subsection headings

 Exhibit 10.1 
 December 15, 2011                     
 Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. 
 2710 Wycliff Road 

Raleigh, NC 27607-3033 
 By this
letter agreement I hereby waive any right to receive any (1) compensation or benefits to which I would be entitled under my Employment Protection Agreement (“EPA”) dated
                     between me and Martin Marietta Materials, Inc, (the “Company”) and (2) enhanced change of control benefits under the
Company’s Amended and Restated Supplemental Excess Retirement Plan (“SERP”), if I terminate my employment with the Company without Good Reason (that otherwise would trigger the foregoing rights) during the 30 day period following the
second anniversary of the consummation of the proposed transaction (including as such proposed transaction may be modified) to combine the Company with Vulcan Materials Company, as described in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4
filed by the Company on December 12, 2011. 
 We agree that, in consideration of my continued employment, effective immediately
this letter agreement amends the EPA, which otherwise shall continue in full force and effect; and that the Company may amend the SERP to implement the terms of this letter agreement. 

 

			
	Very truly yours,
