Director and Officer Indemnification (a) It is understood and agreed that all rights to indemnification, expense advancement, and exculpation existing in favor of each present and former director, officer and employee of Clearwire or any of its Subsidiaries as provided in Clearwire’s Certificate of Incorporation or Clearwire’s Bylaws or the charter or organizational documents of Clearwire’s Subsidiaries, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or under any other agreements in effect on the date hereof, will survive the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Surviving Entity will, and NewCo will cause the Surviving Entity to, (i) continue in full force and effect for a period of at least 6 years from the Effective Time (or, if any relevant claim is asserted or made within such six year period, until final disposition of such claim) such rights to indemnification and (ii) perform, in a timely manner, the Surviving Entity’s obligation with respect thereto. Any claims for indemnification under this Section 10.6 as to which the Surviving Entity has received written notice before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time will survive, whether or not those claims will have been finally adjudicated or settled, and no action taken during such period may be deemed to diminish the obligations set forth in this Section 10.6. (b) The Surviving Entity will, maintain in effect for 6 years from the Effective Time the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies applicable to Clearwire and its Subsidiaries (“D&O Insurance”) (except the Surviving Entity may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are not less favorable) providing coverage with respect to matters occurring before the Effective Time and such policies or endorsements must name as insureds thereunder all present and former directors, officers and employees of Clearwire and its Subsidiaries, except that in no event will the Surviving Entity be required to expend under this Section 10.6(b) more than an amount per year equal to two hundred percent (200%) of current annual premiums paid by Clearwire for that insurance. If, but for the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the Surviving Entity would be required to expend more than two hundred percent (200%) of current annual premiums, the Surviving Entity will obtain the maximum amount of that insurance obtainable by payment of annual premiums equal to two hundred percent (200%) of current annual premiums. To the extent that a “tail” policy is available that complies with the foregoing requirements of this Section 10.6(b) with respect to the coverage, terms, and conditions applicable to all present and former directors, officers and employees of Clearwire and its Subsidiaries the Surviving Entity may satisfy its obligation under this Section 10.6(b) by obtaining such policy. If the Surviving Entity or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and will not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of that consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Entity will assume the obligations set forth in this Section 10.6.

Any D&O Indemnifiable Claims shall continue until such D&O Indemnifiable Claim is disposed of or all judgments, orders, decrees or other rulings in connection with such D&O Indemnifiable Claim are fully satisfied. For the purposes of this Section 7.06(b), "D&O Expenses" means attorneys' fees and all other costs, charges and expenses paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness in or participate in any D&O Indemnifiable Claim, in each case solely to the extent such amounts would be subject to indemnification, reimbursement or advancement under the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other applicable organizational documents, but shall exclude losses, claims, damages, judgments or amounts paid in settlement (which items are, for the avoidance of doubt, included in the definition of D&O Costs).

Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects such indemnification obligations in accordance with their terms. Subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under applicable Law, the provisions with respect to indemnification set forth in the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Person. (b) Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any claim is brought against any Indemnified Party (whether arising before or after the Effective Time) after the Effective Time (i) such Indemnified Party may retain counsel satisfactory to it (subject to approval by Parent and the Surviving Corporation, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for such Indemnified Party promptly as statements therefor are received, and (iii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation will use all reasonable efforts to assist in the vigorous defense of any such matter, provided that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable for any settlement of any Claim effected without its written consent, which consent, however, shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 6.03, upon learning of any such Claim, shall notify Parent (but the failure so to notify Parent shall not relieve it from any liability for indemnification under this Section 6.03 which it may have except to the extent such failure materially prejudices Parent), and shall deliver to Parent, upon request, the undertaking, if any, contemplated by the FBCA in connection with the advance of expenses. To the extent that a Claim is brought against more than one Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one law firm to represent them with respect to each such matter unless there is, in the opinion of counsel to an Indemnified Party, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between the positions of any two or more Indemnified Parties. (c) Immediately prior to the Effective Time the Company shall, at the direction of the Parent, purchase a non-cancelable extended reporting period endorsement under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the Company’s officers and directors (the “Tail Policy”) in the same form as presently maintained by the Company, which shall provide such officers and directors with coverage until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time (the “Tail Period”) with not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms not less favorable to the coverage presently maintained by the Company; provided, however, that Parent shall have the right to shop the insurance policy through their own insurance agent and cause the Company to purchase the insurance policy through the Parent’s insurance agent if the policy can be purchased at a lower cost to the Company; provided, however, that Company may engage a qualified insurance consultant to confirm that such Tail Policy satisfies the above criteria; and, provided further, that Parent shall not be required to pay for the Tail Period, if the aggregate annual premium for the Tail Policy is in excess of two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the annual premium for the existing policy. In the event the premium for the Tail Policy exceeds two hundred and fifty percent (250%) of the annual premium for the existing policy the amount of coverage of the Tail Policy shall be reduced to the greatest amount of coverage that can be obtained for any annual premium for the existing policy. A copy of the proposed policy shall be provided to the Parent by the Company at least five (5) business days prior to Closing. A copy of a binder for such policy shall be provided to the Company prior to Closing.

(b) An Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing promptly upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding, investigation or other matter in respect of which such indemnification may be sought, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 4.7 except to the extent that it is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of, including the investigation of, and corrective action required to be undertaken in response to, any litigation, claim or proceeding (each, a "Claim") relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 4.7 with counsel selected by the Company, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee (and, if the Company shall have assumed such defense, it shall not be liable for the fees or expenses of any separate counsel retained by the Indemnitee); provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall be permitted to participate in the defense of such Claim at his or her own expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall the Company be liable for any settlement or compromise effected without its written consent. (c) In the event any Claim is asserted or made, any determination required to be made with respect to whether an Indemnitee's conduct complies with the standards set forth under applicable Law, the applicable Company Charter Documents and Subsidiary Documents as the case may be, shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee; provided that nothing in this Section 4.7 shall impair any rights of any current or former director or officer of the Company or such subsidiaries, including pursuant to the respective Company Charter Documents and the Subsidiary Documents of such subsidiaries, under applicable Law or otherwise.

The provisions of this Section 4.7 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. (f) In the event that the Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 4.7.
