EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

This EXCHANGE AGREEMENT, dated as of March 27, 2006 (this “Agreement”), is entered into by and among Wave Wireless Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and SDS Capital Group Spc, Ltd. (“SDS”) with reference to the following facts:

A. SDS presently is the holder of a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $4,153,649.72, dated October 1, 2005 (the “Note”). As of the date hereof, the principal amount and accrued interest due under the terms of the Note is $3,707,132.38.

B. SDS agrees to convert $1,230,475 of principal and accrued interest due to SDS by the Company on the date hereof (the “Payoff Amount”), into (i) a number of shares of the Company’s Series J Convertible Preferred Stock with an aggregate face value equal to $1,952,387 (the “Series J Shares”) and (ii) warrants to purchase a total of 7,809,548 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.12 per share (the “Exchange Warrants”). The Series J Shares will be convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate face value of the Series J Shares divided by a conversion price of $0.075 per share, or 26,031,827 shares of Common Stock.

C. SDS desires to accept the Series J Shares and the Exchange Warrants in exchange for the reduction in principal and accrued interest due under the terms of the Note, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree hereby as follows:

1. Conversion

1.1 Conversion of Amounts Due Under Note. The Company agrees to issue to SDS, and SDS agree to accept, the Series J Shares and the Exchange Warrants, in full consideration for the payment of the Payoff Amount. The Company acknowledges and agrees that all rights, including registration rights, conferred upon any additional purchasers of Series J Preferred Stock shall be conferred upon SDS, provided, however, that SDS shall not convert more than 50% of the Series J Shares or exercise any of the Exchange Warrants issued in connection with this Agreement until such time as the Company has sufficient shares of authorized Common Stock available upon such conversion or exercise, as the case may be.

2. Delivery of Securities. Within ten (10) days after the date hereof, (a) SDS shall surrender to the Company the original Note, and (b) the Company shall deliver to SDS (i) one or more certificates evidencing the Series J Shares and the Exchange Warrants issued in the name of SDS; and (ii) a new promissory note (“New Note”) with the same terms and conditions set forth in the Note, except that such New Note shall reflect the reduction of the Payoff Amount, and the principal and accrued interest due under the terms of the New Note shall (y) be due and payable in eight quarterly installments beginning September 30, 2006; and (z) accrue interest at the rate of ten percent (10%).
