*CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.

The Parties acknowledge that the [*] may be changed by mutual agreement to some other model and/or models [*], and in such case this clause would be appropriately modified to reflect the mutually agreed upon changes. If any of the aforementioned models, and/or their mutually agreed replacements, have their Ship Acceptance dates delayed, unless the delays are agreed to by both parties, the [*] mix requirement will become effective in the same month that the Motorola Ship Acceptance has been achieved for the last remaining product of the aforementioned models or their substitutes, as may be agreed upon.

In the event any of the above stated conditions in items 1) and 2) above are not satisfied, then the following conditions will apply:

I.

With the exception of [*], in the event a comparable post-paid Handset unit model does not exist [*], the base package price of the pre-paid Handset Unit model will increase by [*] of the base package price specified in Exhibit B-1 and all volumes of pre-paid Handset Units will be included in the appropriate Efficiency Curve calculations going forward. The pre-paid handsets will receive the associated price reduction based on its tier classification.

II. If either of the conditions set forth in Item 2) are not met, all pre-paid Handset Units will be priced equivalent to [*], adjusted for any Efficiency Curve Pricing Adjustments, PA credit (per unit), or competitive benchmarking adjustment for the remainder of the term of the Agreement. With the exception of [*], in the event a comparable post-paid Handset unit model does not exist [*], the base package price of the pre-paid Handset Unit model will increase by [*] of the base package price specified in Exhibit B-1 and all volumes of pre-paid Handset Units will be included in the appropriate Efficiency Curve calculations going forward. The price adjustment (via a debit memo) will be applied retroactively to all pre-paid units shipped from [*], 2004. The pre-paid handsets will receive the associated price reduction based on its tier classification.

2.5   Purchase Advance (“PA”) and Ongoing Falcon PA Process:
 
    For certain proposed products or features, Motorola will, at its sole discretion, offer Nextel, including Boost, the option to purchase the specified product or feature on special terms and conditions called the “PA Model.” Under the PA Model, Nextel will pre-pay agreed amounts,

*CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.

    pursuant to an agreed payment schedule, for specified finished products or features to be delivered by Motorola as part of the agreed PA Model project. Except as otherwise agreed in Section 2.5.3 below, all pre-payments must be made according to the project’s milestone dates with the final pre-payment being made on the project prior to a project’s commercial release by Motorola (hereinafter “Ship Acceptance”) to be eligible as an PA Model project.
 
    The 2003-05 Agreement shall address the process applicable to the ISUF projects.
 
2.5.1   PA Process
 
    For each product or feature offered under the PA Model, Motorola will provide the following information in the given timeframes to Nextel as part of the Product Development Process (“PDP”), and Nextel will participate and provide the following responses as part of the PDP process.

1) MRD Draft to Nextel

a)   Motorola to provide initial NTE pricing to Nextel.
 
b)   Motorola to provide NTE PA total amount and maximum time period over which product purchases by Nextel will be eligible for the PA credit (“PA period”) described below. In no event will the PA period be greater than [*] from the Ship Acceptance date of each specific model.
 
c)   Motorola to provide PA payment schedule by quarter (Timing of payments may be subject to change).
 
d)   Nextel to provide initial feedback and responses to Motorola

2) Review and Approval of MRD by Nextel.

a)   Motorola to provide updated, if needed, PA total amount, NTE pricing and PA period (considering MRD draft inputs, comments, and responses from Nextel).
 
b)   Motorola to provide final PA payment schedule by quarter (Timing of payments may be subject to change).
 
c)   Nextel to provide approval of MRD and/or feedback. Approval of the MRD signifies Nextel’s agreement to proceed.

3) Schedule Baseline

a)   Motorola to provide final PA payment schedule by due date specified in Exhibits C-1 and C-2.
 
b)   The PA Model project schedule will commence only upon receipt of the Nextel/Boost approval signatures on MRD and pricing addendum for the project and any PA payment(s) due prior to project commencement.
 
c)   The Parties agree to review the project schedule progress for each PA Model project monthly, for a period of [*] (i.e., a rolling [*] quarter view), after commencement of the PA Model

*CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.

    project. The Parties will utilize the current PDP and Subscriber Roadmap process as the forum for such discussions.
 
d)   Motorola’s obligation to perform the agreed project is contingent upon Nextel making scheduled PA payments. Subject to Motorola’s written notification to Nextel of late payment, Motorola will offer a 10 calendar day cure period for the PA payment to be made. In the event that Nextel fails to make any PA payments when due or within the cure period, Motorola reserves the right to continue, postpone, substantially modify or cancel any PA Model project, in whole or in part, for which payment was not timely made without any further liability whatsoever.
 
e)   In the event that a PA Model project is postponed, substantially modified or canceled by Nextel, all PA Model payments made up to that date for that PA Model project will be forfeited by Nextel and, in the event the project is continued and commercially released by Motorola, no PA credits will be applied to the Nextel purchases of that product or feature. In the event that a PA Model project is materially delayed through no fault of Nextel, or Motorola is in material breach of this Section 2.5, all PA payments made up to that date for that PA Model project only will be returned at Nextel’s discretion, without further liability for that PA Model project whatsoever, and no PA credits will be applied to the Nextel purchases of that product or feature. For purposes of the above sentence, a material delay will in no event be less than a period of [*] days.

Once the MRD has been approved, any modifications to projects, including changes in schedules, must be submitted by Nextel to Motorola’s Change Control Board (“CCB”) for review and evaluation, and will be effective only upon mutual agreement of the Parties. Failure to approve a change proposed by Nextel to the approved MRD does not constitute a material breach on the part of Motorola with respect to that PA Model project. If the PA Model does not meet the specifications as stated in the approved MRD, the Parties will negotiate in good faith a mutually acceptable solution.

2.5.2 PA Administration

For all PA Model projects, if Nextel makes the PA Model payments in full for the respective PA Models, through PA Model Ship Acceptance, Motorola will apply an account credit in an amount equal to the total PA Model payments made for the respective PA Model projects, [*] against actual purchases of the PA Model product or feature completed under that PA Model project. Until the PA amount is exhausted for a specific PA Model project, the purchase price of the unit on the Nextel purchase order to Motorola shall be as indicated on the line entitled “BASE PACKAGE PRICE (*Feature/Accessory is included)” in Exhibits B-1 and B-2. The applicable PA credit amount may be shown as a line item on the purchase order. The net amount that will be due to Motorola by Nextel for the respective models is indicated in Exhibits B-1 and B-2 on the line entitled “WITH PA CREDIT, BALANCE OF BASE PACKAGE PRICE AMOUNT DUE AT SHIPMENT”. The PA Model account credit will be allocated on the invoice for each Nextel purchase of the PA Model product (“PA Credit”) until such time as all PA Model funds paid by Nextel for the PA Model project have been exhausted or the PA period elapses, whichever

*CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.

event occurs earlier. If the PA model payments are not fully exhausted within the PA period, the portion of the PA model payment that has not been exhausted is forfeited to Motorola [*]. PA payments and PA credits cannot be redeemed for cash, are non-transferable, and PA payments made for one product model or feature may not be applied toward the purchase of any other product model or feature.

The Parties previously agreed to apply the PA Model to certain products set forth in Exhibits C-1 and C-2 and certain payments related to supplying ISUF as set forth in Exhibit C-3. Accordingly, no later than January 10th 2004, Nextel will pay Motorola (via a special wire transfer) the following PA Model payments and ISUF payments, as outlined in Exhibit C-1, Exhibit C-2 and Exhibit C-3:

a)   All of the life-to-date 2002 and 2003 PA payments due for completed project work on the following [*] models: [*]. The PA period for the products in exhibit C-1 and exhibit C-2 shall not be greater than [*] months from the earlier of Ship Acceptance date of each specific model [*].
 
b)   All of the life-to-date ISUF payments due for completed project work on the [*] and [*] features. All the ISUF payments to Motorola as stated in Exhibit C-3 are non-refundable and no credit shall be applied to product purchases.

Nextel further agrees to pay the remaining PA Model and ISUF payments as outlined in Exhibits C-1, C-2 and C-3 via the Rebate File as the respective milestones are completed. For each ISUF project or feature, assuming that all ISUF payments are made per project or feature, the sum of the ISUF payments for individual features (as identified in Exhibit C-3) represent fees for an irrevocable and perpetual right to use the feature with respect to iDEN subscriber units sold by Motorola to Nextel under this Term Sheet.

2.5.3 Special Treatment of PA for [*] Handset Units

The [*] handsets have been shipped [*] prior to the signing of the Term Sheet. The Parties mutually acknowledge that these models do not represent the completed work product as specified in the executed MRDs [*]. Motorola and Nextel agree to recognize these Handset Unit models as PA Model projects. Accordingly, the PA Model and Efficiency Curve structure will be implemented with the initial shipments of

*CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO AN APPLICATION FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.

these Handset Units [*]. For these handset models, Nextel shall make PA payments up through completion of the respective “Beta” milestone as shown in Exhibit-C1. The final payment per the “Ship Acceptance” milestone for these models shall be due no later than 10 days after these handsets start shipping [*]. For each PA Model project addressed by this Section 2.5.3, upon full payment of all PA amounts up through completion of the respective “Beta” milestone set forth in Exhibits C-1 and C-2, Motorola will begin to apply the associated PA Model per unit credits to Nextel’s purchases of these [*] products such that the amount due and payable for each purchase will equal the per unit amount indicated on Exhibits B-1 and B-2 to this Term Sheet as “With PA Credit, Balance of Base Package Price Amount Due at Shipment” (plus applicable “Kit Adders”). In the event that such pending PA payments are not made prior to January 10th 2004, no PA credit will apply to those [*] products, and the amount due and payable for each purchase will equal the Base Package Price per unit price indicated on Exhibits B-1 and B-2. Accordingly, respective purchase orders, shipments, and invoices will be reconciled and adjustments made thereto such that the net corrected unit pricing and PA credits per unit for purchase orders, shipments and invoices to date (starting with [*] shipments) will conform to Exhibits B-1 and B-2 (Base Package Price + “Kit Adders” – 9% of Base Package Price). Other promotions, rebates, terms and conditions outlined within this Term Sheet remain in effect. The Parties mutually agree to:

1.   Reconcile [*] shipments, invoices and any required adjustments by December 30, 2003 and reconcile December shipments, invoices and any required adjustments by January 10, 2004. Motorola will issue PA credits applicable to these products shipped September through November 2003 on the January 2004 Rebate File, provided Nextel has remitted all amounts in accordance with Section 2.5.2 a) above.
 
2.   After initial reconciliation, PA credits will be applied to subsequent shipments in accordance with the PA methodology set forth in Section 2.5.2 above.

Unless agreed in writing otherwise, in no event will a price reduction pursuant to the PA Model occur for these Handset Units if the final PA payment milestone due at Ship Acceptance has not been made by Nextel.

2.5.4 Additional PA Projects

It is the Parties’ intent that additional 2003 – 2004 [*] projects ([*]) will also proceed under the PA Model, pursuant to the PA Model process set forth in Sections 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 above, and will be added to the appropriate respective Exhibits once the details are agreed to by the Parties.

2.6   “Efficiency Curve Price Adjustments”:
 
    The following price reductions or Efficiency Curve Price Adjustments will apply to iDEN [*] Handset Units purchased by Nextel, excluding Limited Edition, Special

2.7   Benchmarking Process
 
2.7.1   Benchmarking Process Framework Overview
 
[*]   
 
2.7.2   Pre-Ship Acceptance
 
    Approximately sixty (60) days prior to Ship Acceptance of each new Eligible Post-Paid Handset, the Parties will benchmark the new handset per the Benchmarking Process set forth above. [*]
 
2.7.3   Post-Ship Acceptance
 
    The Parties will perform the Benchmarking Process described above on an annual basis during the month of [*] for those Eligible [*] Handset models that have not undergone the benchmarking process within the past [*]. The consolidation of the benchmarking activities for the Eligible models is intended to reduce administrative impact.
 
    In the event that the Parties mutually agree that market conditions warrant an interim review, the Parties will perform such benchmarking activities or engage in pricing review discussions on an exception basis. Any Eligible [*] Handset Unit model that receives an Interim Price Adjustment pursuant to the Benchmarking Process will be excluded from the next subsequent Efficiency Curve Price Adjustment, however, purchases of those units will still count toward the Efficiency Curve purchase milestones
 
2.8   Soft Launch Handsets for Initial Launch:
 
    Prior to each Eligible [*] Handset Unit or data device initial launch, Motorola will provide Nextel with up to a [*] discount off of the Base Package price on up to [*] units, to be negotiated by the Parties, (typically a quantity of [*] units). The discount will be applied to the “Total Package” price (i.e., “Fully Kitted” price which includes all “Adders”), but

The purpose of this meeting will be to discuss and document potential issues and financial impacts to handset pricing and PA funding that may arise due to changes in product specifications, marketing programs, or other discussions that occur during the monthly PDP subscriber unit meeting.
 
3   Intellectual Property:
 
    The parties agree to negotiate in good faith on terms and conditions related to intellectual property rights for the definitive 2003-05 Agreement. However, during this Term Sheet and any extensions thereto, and in the absence of an express written provision as to ownership of intellectual property, the ownership of any intellectual property created as a direct result of the fulfillment of the terms and conditions of this Term Sheet shall be determined by application of law, and Nextel shall have the normal non-exclusive royalty-free license, which is implied or otherwise arises by operation of law, solely to use and sell to its customers only those products sold by Motorola to Nextel under this Term sheet. .

The validity, performance, and all matters relating to the effect of this Term Sheet and any amendment hereto shall be governed by the laws of the state of Illinois without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.

Motorola and Nextel will attempt to settle any claim or controversy arising out of this Term Sheet through consultation and negotiation in good faith and a spirit of mutual cooperation. If those attempts fail, then, except for disputes related to alleged patent, copyright, or trademark infringement, or breach of confidentiality, the dispute will be mediated by a mutually acceptable mediator to be chosen by Motorola and Nextel within thirty (30) days after written notice by the other demanding mediation. Neither Party may unreasonably withhold consent to the selection of a mediator, and Motorola and Nextel will share the costs of the mediation equally. Venue for mediation shall be the United States of America. By mutual agreement, however, the parties may postpone mediation until they have each completed some specified but limited discovery about the dispute. The Parties may also agree to replace mediation with some other form of alternative dispute (ADR), such as neutral fact-finding or a mini-trial.

Any dispute which the Parties cannot resolve through negotiation, mediation, or other form of ADR within four (4) months of the date of the initial demand for it may then be submitted to the Federal District Court of Delaware for resolution. The use of any ADR procedures will not be construed under the doctrines of latches, waiver, or estoppel to affect adversely the rights of either Party. And nothing in this section will prevent either party from resorting to judicial proceedings if (a) good faith efforts to resolve the dispute under these procedures have been unsuccessful or (b) interim relief from a court is necessary to prevent serious and irreparable injury to one party or to others.
