*        *        *         *        *        *

1. Irrevocable Exchange of Shares.

(a) Upon execution of this Agreement, Intel hereby irrevocably elects to exchange (the “Share Exchange”) each share of Class B Common Stock (together with each corresponding Class B Unit) held by or on account of itself and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Intel Interests”), into the corresponding number of shares of Class A Common Stock, in

accordance with Section 7.9 of the Operating Agreement and Section 5.1 of the Charter, effective immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement); provided, however, that if the Merger is not consummated for any reason at such time, the Share Exchange shall be void ab initio and Intel shall retain the Intel Interests.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.9 of the Operating Agreement, the parties to this Agreement agree that execution of this Agreement shall constitute timely delivery of an Exchange Notice to the Company.

2. Escrow. Upon execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto, Intel covenants and agrees to deposit, within five (5) Business Days after the date hereof, all of the Intel Interests with the Company to hold such Intel Interests in escrow (the “Escrow”) until the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of the Share Exchange or (ii) termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company shall promptly return to Intel all Intel Interests then being held by the Company. At any time that the Intel Shares are being held in the Escrow in accordance with this Agreement, Intel shall not Transfer the Intel Shares except as permitted by the Voting Agreement. Following any Transfer permitted by the Voting Agreement, the Intel Interests shall remain in the Escrow in accordance with this Agreement and, prior to any such transfer, Intel shall cause the transferee to be bound by the terms of, and execute a joinder to, this Agreement with respect to the Intel Interests.

3. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the Effective Time, (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, and (iii) the written agreement of Intel, the Company and Sprint; provided, however, that Intel shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Company and Sprint if the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes or the Indenture are amended, modified or waived without the prior written consent of Intel, but only if such amendment, modification or waiver creates any additional condition to the consummation of the Merger or the transactions contemplated under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes and the Indenture, reduces the amount of the Merger Consideration, changes the form of the Merger Consideration or otherwise adversely affects Intel (in its capacity as a stockholder of Clearwire or equityholder of Clearwire LLC), provided that any amendment, waiver or modification that results in a delay in the timing of the Closing (but not beyond December 31, 2013) but does not have any other adverse effect on Intel in such capacity will not constitute grounds for termination of this Agreement.

4. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.

5. Assignment. No party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.

The consents to jurisdiction set forth in this paragraph shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the parties hereto.
