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.

(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.

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).

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.

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;

(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

(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.

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.

(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.

(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”).

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

(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.

(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).

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.

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.

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

(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.

(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.

(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;

(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.

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.

(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;

(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;

(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.

(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

(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;

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

(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.

(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.

(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;

(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.

(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,

(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, ;

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

(iii) in the case of Intel, ;

(iv) in the case of Comcast, ;

(v) in the case of TWC, ;

(vi) in the case of BHN, ; and

(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.

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.

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.

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.

(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).

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,

(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.

(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

(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

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.

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;

(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);

(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.

(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.

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.

(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 a result of a disclosure by a Member or its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, 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.

(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.
