FCC. Sprint will pay all regulatory costs related to the WLAN Solution and Clearwire’s actual costs
associated with enabling the use of Clearwire’s spectrum for the WLAN Solution.
(b) To the extent required by Clearwire or the FCC, Sprint will prepare, at its cost, and
submit to Clearwire for processing with the FCC and/or the third party license holder (Clearwire’s
Lessor) any documentation required to meet FCC or EBS lease requirements, including consent, lease,
or sublease agreements.
(c) Sprint will take all necessary steps to ensure that deployment of the WLAN Solutions do
not cause material interference to any operations of Clearwire or other network operators. Sprint
will take all necessary steps to protect and preserve the status of the licenses associated with
the WLAN Solutions. Sprint agrees to deploy the WLAN Solutions within Clearwire’s approved
parameters.
(d) Sprint agrees to indemnify Clearwire against any damages caused by Sprint’s operation of
the WLAN Solutions, including, without limitation, the payment of any fines levied by the FCC or
other regulatory authority for any improper use of spectrum, such as, but not limited to, material
interference with other channels or any claims that any WLAN Solution was improperly undertaken in
violation of FCC requirements or regulations.
(e) Sprint acknowledges and agrees that any rights granted to Sprint hereunder with respect to
spectrum are personal to Sprint and may not be assigned or used for any purpose outside of the
express purposes provided for under this Agreement.
4.4 If Clearwire discovers any material interference (as determined by Clearwire in a
commercially reasonable manner) with any In-Building Solution that (i) is outside the normal
operating condition of the In-Building Solution, (ii) materially impairs the quality of the service
provided by Clearwire to its customers, and (iii) is caused by Sprint or its agents, employees,
representatives or Customers, Clearwire will promptly notify Sprint, and Sprint will promptly cease
the act(s) constituting such interference. In the case of any such interference caused by Sprint
or its agents or Customers, Clearwire, concurrent with notice to Sprint, may require that Sprint
immediately correct or, if unable to correct, immediately shut down the applicable In-Building
Solution in the event that the interfering act(s) cause material degradation to Clearwire’s service
or any other network operator’s service or otherwise constitutes an emergency. In other instances
of interference, Clearwire will provide 48 hours notice to Sprint prior to requiring Sprint to shut
Confidential — Subject to Nondisclosure Obligations | 5 |

to reconfigure or shut down the Equipment) as necessary to comply with regulatory requirements; to
resolve RF safety or other safety issues; or to respond to material interference issues (in
accordance with the interference provisions set forth in section 4.4 above).
4.5.1 Clearwire does not have physical access to the Sprint-Controlled Facilities. In order to
comply with the provisions of section 4.5, Sprint will promptly comply with Clearwire’s
instructions with respect to the Equipment as described in section 4.5.
4.5.2 If due to a Customer’s requirement (such as a lease agreement with a third party
landlord requires that Sprint is only permitted to deploy telecommunications technologies at that
location for which it is licensed and/or authorized by the FCC), then Clearwire and Sprint shall
work together in good faith to deploy the 4G Services to such Customer and Clearwire will use good
faith efforts to provide documentation prepared by Sprint that Customer may require at Sprint’s
cost.
4.6 Clearwire will determine the spectrum allocation for each particular Location and will use
commercially reasonable efforts to defer to the lowest cost option among Clearwire’s spectrum
rights (such as the use of BRS first) to the extent Clearwire can reasonably accommodate the lowest
cost option within its network designs. At a minimum, the spectrum allocation for each Location
will take into account each Customer’s requirements.
5. Financial Terms

In-Building Solutions. Clearwire is responsible for initial triage and problem isolation for all
Locations. Clearwire will open a ticket with Sprint within fifteen (15) minutes of an alarm.
10.2 If after initial triage, the Parties determine that the issue is with the Clearwire
Network, backhaul that Clearwire provides (in Clearwire Territory only), or the designated
termination point into the Clearwire Network, then Clearwire will resolve the issue and provide
Sprint status updates every hour and a half until service is restored.
10.3 If after initial triage, the Parties determine that the issue is with the In-Building
Solution or with backhaul that Sprint provides (outside of Clearwire Territory only), then Sprint

the purchased Equipment are assigned to Clearwire no later than the date on which
Confidential — Subject to Nondisclosure Obligations | 21 |
Clearwire takes title to the Equipment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Sprint is
unable to assign such rights and obligations to Clearwire because the support rights are
non-assignable to Clearwire by virtue of the support agreement, then Sprint shall so inform
Clearwire and Sprint shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the applicable vendor’s
consent to provide support to Clearwire under similar terms and conditions either under an existing
or a new support agreement between Clearwire and such vendor. In addition to support agreements,
Sprint further agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to assign to Clearwire all
