WHEREAS, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2007 (the
“Purchase Agreement”), with the Investors party thereto pursuant to which, among other things, the
Company issued an aggregate of 5.1 million shares (the “Old Shares”) of the Company’s Class A
Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”); and
WHEREAS, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration
Rights Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2007 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to
which, among other things, the Company agreed to register the Old Shares with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for resale pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Company has not registered the Old Shares for resale under
the Securities Act; and
WHEREAS, certain disputes have arisen among the Company and the Investors regarding such
failure and certain other matters; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto believe it is in their respective best interest to settle such
disputes as provided herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and intending to be
legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Exchange. At the Closing (as defined below), the Company shall exchange each Old
Share owned by an Investor for 1.125 shares (“Shares”) of the Company’s Series A Convertible
Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), such Preferred Stock
to have the relative rights, preferences and designations set forth in Exhibit A attached
hereto (the “Certificate of Designations”). In accordance with the terms of the Certificate of
Designations, the Preferred Stock shall be convertible into or otherwise exchangeable for Common
Stock of the Company to the extent specified therein.
Section 2. Registration Rights.
(a) Effective at the Closing, the Registration Rights Agreement shall be amended as follows:
(i) Section 1 shall be amended to include the following definitions:
“‘Exchange and Settlement Agreement’ means the Exchange and Settlement Agreement,
dated as of December 27, 2007), among the Company and the Investors.”
“‘Preferred Stock’ means the Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par
value $0.01 per share, issued pursuant to the terms of the Exchange and Settlement Agreement.”
(ii) The definition of “Shares” shall be amended to read as follows:
“‘Shares’ shall mean the shares of Common Stock then issuable (without satisfaction of
any conditions to issuance) pursuant to the conversion of the Preferred Stock or otherwise issued
in respect of the Preferred Stock or any security issued in respect of the Preferred Stock.”
(iii) The first sentence of Section 2(a)(i) shall be amended to read as follows:
“The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement covering all shares
of Common Stock then constituting Registrable Securities for a secondary or resale offering made on
a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 promptly after the date (“SEC Report Compliance Date”) that
the Company becomes fully current in its obligations with respect to filings with the SEC,
including its 2006
Form 10-K, its 2006 Form 10-Qs and the reports on Form 8-K (and amendments thereto) required to include financial statements and pro formas for the division of Wireless Facilities, Inc. (WFI) purchased by the Company in June 2007. The Company agrees to continue to use reasonable best efforts to become fully current in its filing obligations, provided that the Parties agree that the Company shall not be liable to the Investors for any delays with respect to such filings. In the event that additional shares of Common Stock constitute Registrable Securities after such registration statement is filed, the Company shall either amend such Registration Statement on a pre-effective basis, or if it has already become effective, shall prepare and file with the SEC one or more additional Registration Statements covering such additional shares of Common Stock for a secondary or resale offering made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415.”
Form 10-K, its 2006 Form 10-Qs and the reports on Form 8-K (and amendments thereto) required to include financial statements and pro formas for the division of Wireless Facilities, Inc. (WFI) purchased by the Company in June 2007. The Company agrees to continue to use reasonable best efforts to become fully current in its filing obligations, provided that the Parties agree that the Company shall not be liable to the Investors for any delays with respect to such filings. In the event that additional shares of Common Stock constitute Registrable Securities after such registration statement is filed, the Company shall either amend such Registration Statement on a pre-effective basis, or if it has already become effective, shall prepare and file with the SEC one or more additional Registration Statements covering such additional shares of Common Stock for a secondary or resale offering made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415.”
(iv) Section 2(a)(iii) shall be deleted in its entirety.
(v) Section 2(c) shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:
“The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement (and any
subsequent Registration Statements) declared effective as promptly as practicable after the filing
of the Registration Statement, provided that the Parties agree that the Company shall not be liable
to the Investors for any delays with respect to such effectiveness. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company shall respond to any SEC comments on the Registration
Statement within 15 business days of the Company’s receipt thereof. The Company shall notify the
Investors by facsimile or e-mail within one business day after the Company has been advised that
the Registration Statement has been declared effective and shall simultaneously provide the
Investors with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other
disposition of the securities covered thereby.”
(vi) All instances of non-compliance with Section 3(o) and 3(p)(ii) occurring prior to the SEC
Reports Compliance Date resulting from the Company not being fully current in its obligations with
respect to filings with the SEC are hereby waived.
(b) Except as expressly modified hereby, the Registration Rights Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.
(c) In the event that the Company determines to file any registration statement for an
offering of its equity securities on its own behalf or on behalf of one or more selling
stockholders (other than a registration statement filed on Form X-0, Xxxx X-0 or on Form S-3, in
the case of a dividend reinvestment plan), the Company shall include the Registrable Securities in
such registration statement (a “Piggy-back Registration Statement”) unless the Registrable
Securities have been included in a Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
and the Company is using commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement
effective. Subject to the rights of any third parties, the Company shall have right to determine
in its sole discretion whether to withdraw or seek the effectiveness of any Piggy-back Registration
Statement.
Section 3. Releases. Effective as of the Closing Date, each of the Investors, on their own
behalf and on behalf of their respective partners, stockholders, members, managers, investment
advisers, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, and any and all persons or
entities claiming by or through any of them (the “Investor Parties”), hereby release and forever
discharge the Company and its affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors, assigns,
legal representatives (collectively, the “Company Released Persons”) of and from any and all manner
of actions, causes of action, suits, account reckonings, covenants, agreements, damages, judgments,
claims and demands whatsoever, at law or in equity, whether known or unknown, contingent or
matured, and whether currently existing or hereafter arising, which the Investor Parties ever had,
now have or may hereafter have (collectively, “Claims”) against the Company Released Persons
arising on or prior to the Closing Date, other than any Claims arising as a result of any failure
by the Company to comply with this Agreement. This release shall include, without limitation, any
and all Claims (i) to the extent arising from failures of the Company to file registration
statements or other filings with the SEC in a timely manner prior to the SEC Reports Compliance
Date, or (ii) relating to the acquisition of the Old Shares by the Investors to the extent arising
from violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder by any Company
Released Person, whether or not known to the Investor Parties on the date hereof not based on the
public filings of the Company. This release shall not cover any Claims any of the Investor Parties
may have against any of the Company Released Persons (x) under this Agreement or (y) arising from
any violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder by any Company
Released Person, to the extent not covered by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence.
None of the Investor Parties shall institute any action, claim or complaint of whatever kind or
nature in any federal, state or local court or other governmental agency or administrative tribunal
relating to any Claim which has been released hereby or any contract, agreement, understanding or
arrangement that has been canceled hereby.

contemplated hereby shall be issued by the Company or the Investors without the prior consent of
the Company (in the case of a release or announcement by the Investors) or the Investors (in the

Section 17. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof but shall
be interpreted as if it were written so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which renders any
provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
Section 18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits, constitutes the entire

proceeding may be served on each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are

consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or
proceeding and to the laying of venue in such court. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any

Investor hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no
Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Investor hereunder. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant
thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint
venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way
acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated
hereby. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in
connection herewith and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection
with monitoring its investment in the Company or enforcing its rights hereunder. Each Investor
shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation,
the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to
be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
Section 21. No Strict Construction. Each of the parties hereto acknowledge that this
Agreement has been prepared jointly by the parties hereto, and shall not be strictly construed
against any party.
