Liability of Warrant Agent The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent, and its duties shall be determined solely by the provisions hereof. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement except for its own negligence or bad faith.
Resignation of Warrant Agent The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving sixty (60) days’ notice in writing to the Company. If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of ninety (90) days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the holder of a Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit his, her or its Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the holder of any Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent at the Company’s cost. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, in good standing and having its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Warrant Agent the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations.
Protection of Warrant Agent By way of supplement to the provisions of any law for the time being relating to the Warrant Agent, it is expressly declared and agreed as follows: (a) the Warrant Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any statements of fact or recitals in this Indenture or in the Warrant Certificates (except the representation contained in Section 9.9 or in the Authentication of the Warrant Agent on the Warrant Certificates) or be required to verify the same, but all such statements or recitals are and shall be deemed to be made by the Corporation; (b) nothing herein contained shall impose any obligation on the Warrant Agent to see to or to require evidence of the registration or filing (or renewal thereof) of this Indenture or any instrument ancillary or supplemental hereto; (c) the Warrant Agent shall not be bound to give notice to any person or persons of the execution hereof; (d) the Warrant Agent shall not incur any liability or responsibility whatever or be in any way responsible for the consequence of any breach on the part of the Corporation of any of its covenants herein contained or of any acts of any directors, officers, employees, agents or servants of the Corporation; (e) the Corporation hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless the Warrant Agent, its affiliates, their officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities whatsoever, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, costs, charges, assessments, judgments, expenses and disbursements, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of whatever kind and nature which may at any time be imposed on or incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Parties, or any of them, whether at law or in equity, in any way caused by or arising, directly or indirectly, in respect of any act, deed, matter or thing whatsoever made, done, acquiesced in or omitted in or about or in relation to the execution of the Indemnified Parties’ duties, or any other services that Warrant Agent may provide in connection with or in any way relating to this Indenture. The Corporation agrees that its liability hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional regardless of the correctness of any representations of any third parties and regardless of any liability of third parties to the Indemnified Parties, and shall accrue and become enforceable without prior demand or any other precedent action or proceeding; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Corporation shall not be required to hold harmless or indemnify the Indemnified Parties in the event of the gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or fraud of the Warrant Agent or any Indemnified Party, and this provision shall survive the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent or the termination or discharge of this Indenture; and (f) notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Indenture, any liability of the Warrant Agent, other than arising as a result of the gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or fraud of the Warrant Agent, shall be limited, in the aggregate, to the amount of annual retainer fees paid by the Corporation to the Warrant Agent under this Indenture in the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the Warrant Agent receiving the first notice of the claim. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, and whether such losses or damages are foreseeable or unforeseeable, the Warrant Agent shall not be liable under any circumstances whatsoever for any (a) breach by any other party of securities law or other rule of any securities regulatory authority, (b) lost profits or (c) special, indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, aggravated or punitive losses or damages.

The Company also agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Person for all Expenses as they are incurred in connection with such Indemnified Person’s enforcement of his or its rights under this Agreement.

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.
