<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following summaries are subject to the complete text of the statutes and organizational
documents of the Company described below and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.
The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter
be amended, which we refer to as the DGCL, permits a Delaware corporation to eliminate or limit the
personal liability of a director to the corporation or to its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liabilities arising from (i)&nbsp;any breach of the
director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii)&nbsp;unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or (iv)&nbsp;any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was,
is or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of such corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The
indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such person&#146;s conduct was unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A Delaware corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents of such
corporation in an action or suit by or in the right of such corporation under the same conditions
against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, except that no indemnification is
permitted without judicial approval if the person to be indemnified has been adjudged to be liable
to the corporation. Where a present or former director or officer of the corporation is successful
on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify such person against
the expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) that such director or officer actually and reasonably
incurred in connection therewith.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such
person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person&#146;s status as such, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify such person under Section&nbsp;145.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s restated certificate of incorporation provides that no director of the Company
shall have any personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for any
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent an exemption from liability or
limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL. In addition, the Company&#146;s restated
certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification of any person who was or is made or
threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or other proceeding, whether criminal, civil,
administrative or investigative, because of his or her status as a director, officer or employee of
the Company, or service as a director, officer, partner, trustee, manager, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company, nonprofit entity
or other enterprise at the request of the Company, to the fullest extent authorized under the DGCL,
against all expenses, liabilities and losses reasonably incurred by such person. Except for
certain unpaid claims to such persons, the Company is not required to indemnify, nor pay expenses
incurred to, any such person, in connection with any proceeding initiated by such person, unless
the commencement of the proceeding by such person was authorized by the Company&#146;s
board of

Further, the Company&#146;s restated certificate of incorporation states that it shall have power
to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, against any liability
asserted against that person or incurred by that person in any such capacity, or arising out of
that person&#146;s status as such, and related expenses, whether or not the corporation would have the
power to indemnify that person against such liability under the DGCL. The Company has and intends
to maintain director and officer liability insurance, if available on reasonable terms.

refer to as the Transaction Agreement, among Clearwire Corporation, a Delaware corporation and the
predecessor entity to the Company, Sprint Nextel Corporation, a Kansas corporation, Intel
Corporation, a Delaware corporation, Google Inc., a Delaware corporation, Comcast Corporation, a
Pennsylvania corporation, Time Warner Cable Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Bright House
Networks, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as more fully described in the Company&#146;s
Registration Statement on Form S-4 initially filed on August&nbsp;22, 2008, provides that all rights to
indemnification, expense advancement and exculpation existing in favor of any current or former
director, officer or employee of Clearwire Corporation, or any of its subsidiaries and contained in
the organizational documents of such entities, or under any other agreements, in each case as in
effect on May&nbsp;7, 2008, shall survive the closing of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Agreement, and remain in full force and effect for a period of at least six years
thereafter.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Transaction Agreement further provides that, for a period of six years after the closing
of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, Clearwire Sub LLC, a subsidiary of
the Company, will maintain in effect the current directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance
policies applicable to Clearwire Corporation and its subsidiaries, or provide replacement policies
providing at least the same coverage on terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the
covered parties.

may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised

as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The following summaries are subject to the complete text of the statutes and organizational
documents of the Company described below and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.
The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter
be amended, which we refer to as the DGCL, permits a Delaware corporation to eliminate or limit the
personal liability of a director to the corporation or to its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liabilities arising from (i) any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or (iv) any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was,
is or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of such corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The
indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful.
A Delaware corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents of such
corporation in an action or suit by or in the right of such corporation under the same conditions
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, except that no indemnification is
permitted without judicial approval if the person to be indemnified has been adjudged to be liable
to the corporation. Where a present or former director or officer of the corporation is successful
on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify such person against
the expenses (including attorneys' fees) that such director or officer actually and reasonably
incurred in connection therewith.
Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such
person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify such person under Section 145.
The Company's restated certificate of incorporation provides that no director of the Company
shall have any personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for any
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent an exemption from liability or
limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL. In addition, the Company's restated
certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification of any person who was or is made or
threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or other proceeding, whether criminal, civil,
administrative or investigative, because of his or her status as a director, officer or employee of
the Company, or service as a director, officer, partner, trustee, manager, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company, nonprofit entity
or other enterprise at the request of the Company, to the fullest extent authorized under the DGCL,
against all expenses, liabilities and losses reasonably incurred by such person. Except for
certain unpaid claims to such persons, the Company is not required to indemnify, nor pay expenses
incurred to, any such person, in connection with any proceeding initiated by such person, unless
the commencement of the proceeding by such person was authorized by the Company's
board of
3
Table of Contents
directors.
Further, the Company's restated certificate of incorporation states that it shall have power
to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, against any liability
asserted against that person or incurred by that person in any such capacity, or arising out of
that person's status as such, and related expenses, whether or not the corporation would have the
power to indemnify that person against such liability under the DGCL. The Company has and intends
to maintain director and officer liability insurance, if available on reasonable terms.
In addition, the Transaction Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 7, 2008, which we
refer to as the Transaction Agreement, among Clearwire Corporation, a Delaware corporation and the
predecessor entity to the Company, Sprint Nextel Corporation, a Kansas corporation, Intel
Corporation, a Delaware corporation, Google Inc., a Delaware corporation, Comcast Corporation, a
Pennsylvania corporation, Time Warner Cable Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Bright House
Networks, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as more fully described in the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-4 initially filed on August 22, 2008, provides that all rights to
indemnification, expense advancement and exculpation existing in favor of any current or former
director, officer or employee of Clearwire Corporation, or any of its subsidiaries and contained in
the organizational documents of such entities, or under any other agreements, in each case as in
effect on May 7, 2008, shall survive the closing of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Agreement, and remain in full force and effect for a period of at least six years
thereafter.
The Transaction Agreement further provides that, for a period of six years after the closing
of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, Clearwire Sub LLC, a subsidiary of
the Company, will maintain in effect the current directors' and officers' liability insurance
policies applicable to Clearwire Corporation and its subsidiaries, or provide replacement policies
providing at least the same coverage on terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the
covered parties.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
Reference
is made to the documents listed on the attached Exhibit Index,
each of which is incorporated
by reference herein.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
the effective Registration Statement;
4
Table of Contents
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof; and
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant
to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised
that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
