Gentlemen:
This letter agreement by and between the parties hereto fully amends and restates the letter
agreement dated March 27, 2009 and any related waivers, consents, amendments and letter agreements
provided in connection therewith. In connection with the consideration by S.A.C. Private Capital
Group, LLC (“you”) of a possible negotiated transaction with Airvana, Inc. (“Airvana” and,
collectively with its subsidiaries and affiliates and divisions, the “Company”), you have
requested, and the Company is prepared to make available to you, certain information concerning its
business, operations, assets and liabilities. As a condition to such information being furnished
to you and to your affiliates, and your and their respective directors, officers, employees,
agents, advisors (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers and
financial advisors) and actual and potential sources of financing (collectively, those of the
foregoing to whom Evaluation Material is furnished are referred to herein as “Representatives”),
you agree to treat any information concerning the Company (whether prepared by the Company, its
advisors or otherwise and irrespective of the form of communication) which has been or is furnished
to you or to your Representatives by or on behalf of the Company (herein collectively referred to
as the “Evaluation Material”) in accordance with the provisions of this letter agreement, and to
take or abstain from taking certain other actions hereinafter set forth.
The term “Evaluation Material” shall be deemed to include the portions of any notes, analyses,
reports, compilations, studies, interpretations, memoranda or other documents (regardless of the
form thereof) prepared by you or your Representatives which contain, reflect or are based upon, in
whole or in part, any information furnished to you or your Representatives pursuant hereto. The
term “Evaluation Material” does not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available
to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by you or your
Representatives in violation of this letter agreement; (ii) was within your or your
Representative’s possession prior to it being furnished to you or your Representatives by or on
behalf of the Company pursuant hereto, provided that you or your Representative’s possession of
such information is not subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other contractual,
legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Company or any other party with respect to
such information; (iii) becomes available to you or your Representative on a non-confidential basis
from a source other than the Company or any of its Representatives, provided that such source is
not known by you to have violated a

confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of
confidentiality to the Company or any other party with respect to providing you or your
Representative with such information; or (iv) is independently developed by you or your
Representative without utilizing any Evaluation Material or violating any of your obligations under
this letter agreement.
You hereby agree that you and your Representatives shall use the Evaluation Material solely
for the purpose of evaluating, financing and/or consummating a possible negotiated transaction
between the Company and you (it being acknowledged and agreed, however, that possession of
Evaluation Material shall not, in and of itself, constitute “use” hereunder), that the Evaluation
Material will be kept confidential and that you and your Representatives will not disclose any of
the Evaluation Material in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that (i) you
may make any disclosure of such information to which Airvana gives its prior written consent; and
(ii) any of such information may be disclosed to and among your Representatives who reasonably need
to know such information for the purpose of evaluating, financing and/or consummating a possible
negotiated transaction with the Company and who are directed to keep such information confidential
to the same extent as if they were parties hereto. In any event, you shall be liable for any
breach of this letter agreement by any of your Representatives, and you agree, at your sole
expense, to take reasonable measures to restrain your Representatives from prohibited or
unauthorized disclosure or use of the Evaluation Material.
The term “person” as used in this letter agreement shall be broadly interpreted to include the
media and any governmental representative or authority, corporation, company, partnership, joint
venture, group, limited liability company, other entity or individual.
In the event that you or any of your Representatives are requested or required (by law, rule
or regulation, or by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in
legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any
of the Evaluation Material, then you or your Representative, as the case may be, shall, to the
extent legally permissible and reasonably practicable under the circumstances, provide Airvana with
prompt written notice of any such request or requirement so that the Company may seek a protective
order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this letter
agreement (and, upon the Company obtaining such remedy and/or Airvana providing such waiver, such
disclosure shall be permitted hereunder). If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy
or the receipt of a waiver by Airvana, you or any of your Representatives are nonetheless, based
upon the advice of your or its counsel, legally compelled to disclose Evaluation Material or
disclose the existence of this letter agreement, the fact that the Evaluation Material has been
made available to you, that discussions or negotiations are taking place concerning a possible
transaction involving the Company or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect
thereto (including the status thereof) to any tribunal or other person or else stand liable for
contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, you or your Representatives may, without liability
hereunder, disclose to such tribunal or other entity only that portion of the Evaluation Material
or such information which such counsel advises you or such Representative is legally compelled to
be disclosed, provided that you or your Representatives, as the case may be, if requested by the
Company in writing, shall exercise reasonable efforts at the Company’s

expense to preserve the confidentiality of the Evaluation Material and the other matters
specified above, including, without limitation, by reasonably cooperating with the Company to
obtain, at the Company’s expense, an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that
confidential treatment will be accorded the Evaluation Material or such other information by such
tribunal or other entity.
At any time upon the request of the Company for any reason, you and your Representatives will,
not later than five business days after such request, deliver to Airvana or (at your option)
destroy all Evaluation Material (and all copies thereof) furnished to you or your Representatives
by or on behalf of the Company pursuant hereto and you and your Representatives shall not retain
any copies, extracts or other reproductions in whole or in part of such material. In the event of
such a request, all Evaluation Material prepared by you or your Representatives shall be destroyed
and no copy thereof shall be retained and such destruction shall, upon Airvana’s written request,
be certified in writing to Airvana. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Evaluation
Material, you and your Representatives will continue to be bound by your obligations of
confidentiality and other obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and your
Representatives (i) may each retain one copy of the Evaluation Material with its legal/compliance
department for recordkeeping purposes and for the purpose of defending its rights and obligations
hereunder and (ii) will not be required to return or destroy any computer or other electronic
hardware or systems, to render any electronic data irrecoverable or to disable any existing
electronic data backup procedures.
You understand and acknowledge that neither the Company nor any of its Representatives, or any
of their respective directors, officers, stockholders, partners, owners, employees, affiliates or
agents make any representation or warranty herein, express or implied, as to the accuracy or
completeness of the Evaluation Material. You agree that neither the Company nor any of its
Representatives, or any of their respective directors, officers, stockholders, partners, owners,
employees, affiliates or agents shall have any liability hereunder to you or to any of your
Representatives or any other person relating to or resulting from the use of the Evaluation
Material or any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Only those representations or warranties
which are made in a final definitive agreement regarding any transactions contemplated hereby,
when, as and if executed, and subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be specified
therein, will have any legal effect.
In addition, you hereby acknowledge that you are aware (and that prior to their receipt of any
Evaluation Material your Representatives who are apprised of a possible transaction have been or
will be advised) that under certain circumstances the United States and other applicable securities
laws prohibit any person who has material, non-public information about a company obtained directly
or indirectly from that company from purchasing or selling securities of such company or from
communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably
foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities.
In consideration of the Evaluation Material being furnished to you, you hereby agree that, for
a period of one year from March 27, 2009, you will not solicit to employ any of the executive
officers of Airvana or any employees of Airvana or any of its subsidiaries whom you meet in
connection with the possible transaction to which this letter agreement relates, so long as they
are

employed by Airvana or any of its subsidiaries and for a period of six months thereafter,
without obtaining the prior written consent of Airvana. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall
not be a violation of this letter agreement to conduct general solicitations (including via
advertisements and/or search firms) not directly targeted to such prohibited individuals or, for
the avoidance of doubt, to hire any individual who is not solicited in violation of this paragraph.
It is understood and agreed that no failure or delay by a party in exercising any right, power
or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
thereof preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege hereunder.
You recognize and acknowledge the competitive value and confidential nature of the Evaluation
Material and that irreparable damage will result to the Company if information contained therein or
derived therefrom is disclosed to any third party except as herein provided or is used for any
purpose other than the evaluation of a possible negotiated transaction with the Company. It is
further understood and agreed that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of
this letter agreement and that the non-breaching party shall be entitled to equitable relief,
including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach. Such remedies
shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this letter agreement but shall be
in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to the non-breaching party.
To the extent such agreement has not already been entered into and in force prior to the date
hereof, the Company shall enter into confidentiality agreements substantially in the form of this
letter agreement with any person or entity other than you that has expressed interest in
potentially acquiring, or who is being solicited by the Company to potentially acquire, the Company
(a “Third Party”) prior to providing such Third Party any non-public information concerning the
Company. Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
December 17, 2009, by and among the Company, 72 Mobile Holdings, LLC and 72 Mobile Acquisition
Corp. (the “Merger Agreement”), in the event that the Company enters into any agreement in
connection with the potential acquisition or any other strategic transaction involving the Company
with any Third Party that contains confidentiality, non-disclosure, or similar terms that are more
favorable in any material respect to such Third Party than those set forth in this letter agreement
or waives or amends such provisions of any such agreement such that the terms or provisions would
be more favorable in any material respect to such Third Party than those set forth in this letter
agreement (any such more favorable terms, “Potential Purchaser Favorable Provisions”), (a) unless
you elect otherwise in writing to the Company, this letter agreement shall automatically, without
any further action by you or the Company, be amended to incorporate such Potential Purchaser
Favorable Provisions mutatis mutandis and (b) the Company will promptly (and in any event within
two business days of the entry into such a confidentiality, non-disclosure, or similar agreement or
such amendment or waiver) provide you with a form of amendment incorporating such Potential
Purchaser Favorable Provisions into this letter agreement.
This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

Neither you nor Airvana may assign its rights or obligations under this agreement to any
person or entity without the prior written consent of the other. Subject to the foregoing, this
agreement shall be binding on the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties
hereto.
This letter agreement shall apply to all Evaluation Material disclosed between March 1, 2009
and September 30, 2010 (the “End Date”). Unless a shorter period is otherwise expressly stated
herein, the restrictions and obligations set forth in this letter agreement shall continue until
the End Date (and end thereon); provided, however, that as to Evaluation Material
that is subject to a confidentiality obligation on the part of the Company that extends beyond the
End Date, the Company shall so notify you of such extended confidentiality obligation and the
Company shall not disclose such Evaluation Material to you until you agree in writing to abide by
the obligations set forth in this letter agreement with respect to such Evaluation Material for the
term of the Company’s confidentiality obligation applicable to such Evaluation Material, in which
event the term of this letter agreement shall be deemed to be so extended as to such Evaluation
Material.
The letter agreement contains the entire agreement between you and the Company concerning the
subject matter hereof, and no modification of this agreement or waiver of the terms and conditions
hereof will be binding unless approved in writing by you and Airvana; provided,
however, this letter agreement shall not alter the terms of the Merger Agreement.
For the convenience of the parties, this letter agreement may be executed by facsimile and in
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together,
shall constitute one agreement binding on both parties.

Please confirm your agreement with the foregoing by signing and returning one copy of this
letter agreement to the undersigned, whereupon this letter agreement shall become a binding
agreement between you and Airvana.
Very truly yours, AIRVANA, INC. |
