W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, SPRINT SPECTRUM CO LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Master Issuer”), SPRINT SPECTRUM CO II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Co-Issuer II”), SPRINT SPECTRUM CO III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (and together with the Master Issuer and Co-Issuer II, the “Issuers” and each, an “Issuer”), the Trustee and Deutsche Bank Trust Company of Americas, as securities intermediary, have entered into the Base Indenture, dated as of the date of this Agreement (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, exclusive of any Series Supplements, the “Base Indenture” and, together with all Series Supplements, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance from time to time of one or more Series of Notes thereunder; and

WHEREAS, the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents require that the parties hereto execute and deliver this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby agrees for the benefit of the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as follows:

SECTION 1

DEFINED TERMS

1.1 Definitions.

(a) Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Base Indenture Definitions List attached to the Base Indenture as Annex A thereto or otherwise defined in the Base Indenture and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in such Base Indenture Definitions List or elsewhere in the Base Indenture. All rules of construction set forth in Section 1.4 of the Base Indenture apply to this Agreement.

(b) Any terms used in this Agreement (including for purposes of Section 3) that are defined in the UCC and pertain to Collateral shall be construed and defined as set forth in the UCC, unless otherwise defined herein.

“Collateral” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 3.1(a).

“Obligations” means all “Obligations” as such term is defined in the Base Indenture (including for the avoidance of doubt any Class A Make-Whole Prepayment Premium) owed by the Issuers to the Secured Parties under the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.

“Payment in Full” means (a) payment in full in cash of the principal of, premium (including the Class A Make-Whole Prepayment Premium), fees and interest (including premium (including the Class A Make-Whole Prepayment Premium), fees or interest accruing on or after the commencement of any bankruptcy proceeding, whether or not such premium (including the Class A Make-Whole Prepayment Premium), fees or interest would be allowed in such bankruptcy proceeding) constituting the Obligations; and (b) payment in full in cash of all other amounts that are due and payable or otherwise accrued under the Transaction Documents in each case, solely to the extent owing by the Guarantors or the Issuers, and excluding any contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim or demand for payment, whether oral or written, has been made at such time.

“Termination Date” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.1(c).

SECTION 2

GUARANTEE

2.1 Guarantee.

(a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the prompt and complete payment and performance by each Issuer when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code) of the Obligations, including all interest, fees, premium and expenses accrued or incurred subsequent to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding with respect to any Obligation, whether or not such interest, fees, premium or expenses are enforceable or allowed as a claim in such proceeding. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Trustee or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Issuer to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally promises to and shall forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Trustee for distribution to the applicable Secured Parties in accordance with the Indenture, in cash, the amount of such unpaid Obligation.

(b) Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Trustee or any other Secured Party hereunder.

(c) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until the date (the “Termination Date”) on which this Agreement ceases to be of further effect in accordance with Article XII of the Base Indenture, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto any Issuer may be free from any Obligations.

(d) The guarantee in this Section 2 is a continuing guarantee and is a guarantee of payment and not merely of collection, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

(e) No payment made by any of the Issuers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Trustee or any other Secured Party from any Issuer, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable hereunder until the Termination Date.

2.2 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Trustee or any other Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any other Secured Party against any Issuer or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Issuer or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until Payment in Full of the Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights at any time when a Payment in Full has not occurred, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

2.3 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Trustee or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by the Trustee or such other Secured Party and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Trustee or any other Secured Party, and the Base Indenture and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Trustee or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released (it being understood that this Section 2.3 is not intended to affect any rights or obligations set forth in any other Transaction Document). Neither the Trustee nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

2.4 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.

(a) Guarantee Absolute. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Trustee or any other Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; all Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 and the grant of the security interests pursuant to Section 3; and all dealings

between any of the Issuers and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Trustee and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have occurred or been consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 and the grant of the security interests pursuant to Section 3. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any of the Issuers or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 and the grant of the security interests pursuant to Section 3 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to:

(i) the validity or enforceability of the Indenture or any other Transaction Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Trustee or any other Secured Party;

(ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any of the Issuers or any other Person against the Trustee or any other Secured Party;

(iii) any settlement, compromise, release, liquidation or enforcement by any of the Secured Parties of any of the Obligations;

(iv) any application by any of the Secured Parties of the proceeds of any other guaranty of or insurance for any of the Obligations to the payment of any of the Obligations;

(v) the giving by any of the Secured Parties of any consent to the merger or consolidation of, the sale of substantial assets by, or other restructuring or termination of the corporate existence of, the Guarantors or any other Person, or to any disposition of any Equity Interest by the Guarantors or any other Person;

(vi) any proceeding by any of the Secured Parties against the Guarantors or any other Person or in respect to any collateral for any of the Obligations, or the exercise by any of the Secured Parties of any of their rights, remedies, powers and privileges under the Transaction Documents, regardless of whether any of the Secured Parties shall have proceeded against or exhausted any collateral, right, remedy, power or privilege before proceeding to call upon or otherwise enforce this Agreement;

(vii) the entering into any other transaction or business dealings with the Guarantors or any other Person;

(viii) the rejection (or similar concept, such as repudiation or recession) of a Transaction Document in a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; or

(ix) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Issuer or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Issuer for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 and the grant of the security interests pursuant to Section 3, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.

When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Trustee or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar

demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Issuer, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Trustee or any other Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Issuer, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Issuer, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Trustee or any other Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

(b) Waiver of Defenses. The enforceability of this Agreement and the liability of the Guarantors and the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Secured Parties under this Agreement shall not be affected, limited, reduced, discharged or terminated, and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any defense now or in the future arising, by reason of:

(i) the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any of the Obligations, any Transaction Document or any other agreement or instrument whatsoever relating to any of the Obligations;

(ii) any disability or other defense with respect to any of the Obligations, including the effect of any statute of limitations, that may bar the enforcement thereof or the obligations of such Guarantor relating thereto;

(iii) the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any other guaranty of or insurance for any of the Obligations or any lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of the priority of any Lien on any collateral for any of the Obligations;

(iv) the cessation, for any cause whatsoever, of the liability of any Issuer or any Guarantor with respect to any of the Obligations;

(v) any failure of any of the Secured Parties to marshal assets, to exhaust any collateral for any of the Obligations, to pursue or exhaust any right, remedy, power or privilege it may have against any Issuer or any other Person, or to take any action whatsoever to mitigate or reduce the liability of any Guarantor under this Agreement, the Secured Parties being under no obligation to take any such action notwithstanding the fact that any of the Obligations may be due and payable and that any Issuer may be in default of its obligations under any Transaction Document;

(vi) any counterclaim, set-off or other claim which any Issuer or any Guarantor has or claims with respect to any of the Obligations;

(vii) any failure of any of the Secured Parties to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other proceeding with respect to any Person;

(viii) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding-up or adjustment of debts, or appointment of a custodian, liquidator or the like of it, or similar proceedings commenced by or against any Issuer or any other Person, including any discharge of,

or bar, stay or injunction against collecting, any of the Obligations (or any interest on any of the Obligations) in or as a result of any such proceeding;

(ix) any action taken by any of the Secured Parties that is authorized by this Section 2.4 or otherwise in this Agreement or by any other provision of any Transaction Document, or any omission to take any such action; or

(x) any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.

(c) Waiver of Set-off and Counterclaim, Etc. Each Guarantor expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties, any right of set-off and counterclaim with respect to payment of its obligations hereunder, and all diligence, presentment, demand for payment or performance, notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor and all other notices or demands whatsoever, and any requirement that any of the Secured Parties exhaust any right, remedy, power or privilege or proceed against any Issuer under the Indenture or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person, and all notices of acceptance of this Agreement or of the existence, creation, incurring or assumption of new or additional Obligations. Each Guarantor further expressly waives the benefit of any and all statutes of limitation, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(d) Other Waivers. Each Guarantor expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties, any right to which it may be entitled:

(i) that the assets of any Issuer first be used, depleted and/or applied in satisfaction of the Obligations prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Guarantor;

(ii) to require that any Issuer be sued and all claims against the Issuers be completed prior to an action or proceeding being initiated against such Guarantor; and

(iii) to have its obligations hereunder be divided among the Guarantors, such that each Guarantor’s obligation would be less than the full amount claimed.

2.5 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Trustee or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Issuer or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Issuer or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. The reinstatement provided for in this Section 2.5 shall survive the removal of, or a resignation by, any Person as Trustee as well as the termination of this Agreement.

2.6 Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Secured Parties, the obligations of the Issuers under the Indenture may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article IX of the Base Indenture (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Article IX) for purposes of Section 2.1 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Issuers and

that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Issuers) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 2.1.

2.7 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder shall be paid to the Trustee without set-off or deduction or counterclaim in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars at the office of the Trustee.

2.8 Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Issuer’s and each other Guarantor’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Trustee nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

2.9 Rights of Contribution. The License Holders hereby agree, as between themselves, that if any License Holder shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such License Holder of any Guaranteed Obligations, then each other License Holder, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such License Holder’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations. The payment obligation of a License Holder to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section 2.9 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such License Holder under the other provisions of this Section 2 and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until Payment in Full.

For purposes of this Section 2.9, (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, a License Holder that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) “Excess Payment” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) “Pro Rata Share” means, for any License Holder, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of such License Holder (excluding any shares of stock or other Equity Interest of any other License Holder) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such License Holder (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such License Holder hereunder and any obligations of any other License Holder that have been Guaranteed by such License Holder) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of all of the License Holders exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the License Holders hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents) of all of the License Holders, determined with respect to the License Holders that are a party hereto on the Closing Date.

2.10 General Limitation on Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 2.1 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 2.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Secured Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in

such action or proceeding. Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time be incurred or permitted in an amount exceeding the maximum liability of such Guarantor under this Section 2.10 without impairing the guarantee contained in Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of any Secured Party hereunder.

SECTION 3

SECURITY

3.1 Grant of Security Interest.

(a) As collateral security for the payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors under this Agreement, each Guarantor hereby pledges and grants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties as hereinafter provided a security interest in all of such Guarantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following property, in each case whether tangible or intangible, wherever located, and whether now owned by such Guarantor or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence (all of the property described in this Section 3.1(a) being collectively referred to herein as “Collateral”):

(b) The foregoing grant is made in trust to secure the Obligations and to secure compliance with the provisions of this Agreement by the Guarantors, all as provided in this Agreement. The Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, acknowledges such grant and accepts the trusts under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Collateral shall secure the Obligations equally and ratably without prejudice, priority or distinction (except, with respect to any Series of Notes, as otherwise stated in the applicable Series Supplement or in the applicable provisions of the Base Indenture).

3.2 Certain Rights and Obligations of the Guarantors Unaffected.

(a) Notwithstanding the grant of the security interest in the Collateral hereunder to the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, the Guarantors acknowledge that the Manager, on behalf of the Securitization Entities, shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the Management Agreement, have the right, subject to the Trustee’s right to revoke such right in whole or in part, in the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default, (i) to give, in accordance with the Manager Standard, all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, extensions or waivers, if any, which are required or permitted to be given by any Securitization Entity under the Collateral Transaction Documents, and to enforce all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Securitization Entities under the Collateral Transaction Documents and (ii) to take any other actions required or permitted to be taken by a Securitization Entity under the terms of the Management Agreement.

(b) The grant of the security interest by the Guarantors in the Collateral to the Trustee on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties shall not (i) relieve any Guarantor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Guarantor’s part to be performed or observed under or in connection with any of the Collateral Transaction Documents or (ii) impose any obligation on the Trustee or any of the Secured Parties to perform or observe any such term, covenant,

condition or agreement on such Guarantor’s part to be so performed or observed or impose any liability on the Trustee or any of the Secured Parties for any act or omission on the part of such Guarantor or from any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of such Guarantor.

Each Guarantor has all limited liability company, corporate or other powers and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to (i) carry on its business as now conducted except where the failure to be in good standing or to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

4.2 Company Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by each Guarantor of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party (a) are within such Guarantor’s limited liability company, corporate or other powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company, corporate or other action and (b) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any Requirements of Law with respect to such Guarantor or any Contractual Obligation with respect to such Guarantor or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any property of any

Guarantor (other than Permitted Liens), except for Liens created by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, except in the case of clause (b) above, the violation of which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. This Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to which each Guarantor is a party has been executed and delivered by a duly Authorized Officer of such Guarantor.

4.3 No Consent. No consent, action by or in respect of, approval or other authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person is required for the valid execution and delivery by each Guarantor of this Agreement or any Transaction Document to which it is a party or for the performance of any of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder or thereunder other than such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations, declarations or filings as shall have been obtained or made by such Guarantor prior to the Closing Date or as are permitted to be obtained subsequent to the Closing Date in accordance with Section 4.6 hereof.

4.5 Subsidiaries. No Guarantor has any subsidiaries or owns any Equity Interests in any other Person, other than with respect to the Issuers.

4.6 Security Interests.

(a) Each Guarantor owns and has good title to or leasehold interests in, as applicable, its Collateral, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. This Agreement constitutes a valid and continuing Lien on the Collateral in favor of the Trustee on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which Lien on the Collateral has been perfected or evidence of which Lien has been recorded, in each case in accordance with the provisions of the Base Indenture, and is prior to all other Liens (other than Permitted Liens), and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from each Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, and by an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The Guarantors have received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Collateral to the pledge of the Collateral to the Trustee hereunder. Each Guarantor has caused, or shall have caused, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect or otherwise record evidence, as applicable, of the first-priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in the Collateral granted to the Trustee hereunder within ten (10) days of the date of hereof.

(b) Other than the security interest granted to the Trustee hereunder, pursuant to the other Transaction Documents or any other Permitted Lien, none of the Guarantors has pledged, assigned, sold or granted a security interest in the Collateral by grant, pledge, sale, assignment or other means.

(c) All authorizations in this Agreement for the Trustee to execute or file financing statements, continuation statements, security agreements and other instruments with respect to the Collateral and to take such other actions with respect to the Collateral authorized by this Agreement are powers coupled with an interest and are irrevocable.

SECTION 5

COVENANTS

If any Guarantor fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Section 5.1(a), after written notice to such Guarantor by the Trustee or the Back-Up Manager, then the Back-Up Manager may perform such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Back-Up Manager incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Guarantors upon the Back-Up Manager’s demand therefor in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Back-Up Manager is hereby authorized to execute and file any financing statements, continuation statements, amendments or other instruments necessary or appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection or record evidence, as applicable, of the Trustee’s security interest in the Collateral in the manner authorized in Section 3.5(a).

(b) Each Guarantor shall warrant and defend the Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral and the income, distributions and proceeds thereof, for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties, against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever subject to Permitted Liens.

5.4 No Petition. Each Guarantor agrees that, prior to the date that is one year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) and one day after the Obligations have been satisfied and performed in full of all outstanding obligations to pay interest, principal and any other amounts due at maturity or earlier redemption in full under any Securitization Entity financing, it will not initiate against, or join any person in initiating against, the Securitization Entities, in connection with this Agreement, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy or similar law (collectively, an “Insolvency Proceeding”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 4.04 does not prohibit or limit any Guarantor from proving any claim, exercising any rights or taking any other action in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding initiated by or against the Securitization Entities not in breach of this Section 5.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 5.4 shall restrict the Guarantors from taking action only against the Securitization Entities.

SECTION 6

REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

6.1 Certain Rights of the Control Party and the Trustee upon Event of Default and Lessee Payment Default Rapid Am Event.

(a) Proceedings To Collect Money. In case any Guarantor shall fail to pay any amounts payable under this Agreement when due, the Trustee at the direction of the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against any Guarantor and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of any Guarantor, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

(b) Other Proceedings. As Control Party, the Back-Up Manager acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative will (a) upon acceleration of the Class A Notes following an Event of Default and (b) following a Lessee Payment Default Rapid Am Event promptly direct the Trustee to:

(i) proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders and the other Secured Parties, by such appropriate proceedings (including any FCC and/or other regulatory filings) as the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or in aid of the exercise of any power granted therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or by law, including any remedies of a secured party under applicable law;

(ii) (A) direct any Guarantor to exercise (and each Guarantor agrees to exercise) all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of any Guarantor against any party to any Collateral Transaction Document arising as a result of the occurrence of such Event of Default or otherwise, including the right or power to take any action to compel performance or observance by any such party of its obligations to any Guarantor, any the right of any Guarantor to take such action independent of such direction shall be suspended, and (B) if (x) any Guarantor shall have failed, within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the direction of the Trustee (given at the direction of the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative)), to take commercially reasonable action to accomplish such directions of the Trustee, (y) any Guarantor refuses to take such action or (z) the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) reasonably determines that such action must be taken immediately, take (or the Control Party on behalf of the Trustee shall take) such previously directed action (and any related action as permitted under this Agreement thereafter determined by the Trustee or the Control Party to be appropriate without the need under this provision or any other provision under this Agreement to direct the Guarantors to take such action);

(iii) institute proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure with respect to the Collateral; and/or

(iv) sell all or a portion of the Collateral at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law and otherwise in compliance with Communications Laws; provided that (i) the Trustee shall not proceed with any such sale without the prior written consent of the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) and the Trustee shall provide notice to the Guarantors and the Issuers of a proposed sale of Collateral and (ii) in no event shall the Trustee sell the claim under the Spectrum Lease to any Person not an Affiliate of the Lessee other than in connection with a disposition of the Spectrum Portfolio.

(c) Sale of Collateral. In connection with any sale of the Collateral (which may proceed separately and independently from the exercise of other remedies under the Indenture) or under any judgment, order or decree in any judicial proceeding for the foreclosure or involving the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the extent permitted by law:

(i) any of the Trustee, any Noteholder and/or any other Secured Party may bid for and purchase the property being sold, subject to the Communications Laws, and upon compliance with the terms of the sale may hold, retain, possess and dispose of such property in its own absolute right without further accountability;

(iv) the receipt of the Trustee making such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to any purchaser at such sale for their purchase money, and such purchaser, and their assigns or personal representatives, shall not, after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt of the Trustee, be obliged to see to the application of such purchase money or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or non-application thereof.

(d) Application of Proceeds. Any amounts obtained by the Trustee on account of or as a result of the exercise by the Trustee or the Control Party of any of their respective rights hereunder shall be held by the Trustee or the Control Party as additional collateral for the repayment of the Obligations, shall be deposited into the Collection Account and shall be applied as provided in Article V of the Base Indenture.

(e) Attorney in Fact. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default each of the Trustee and the Control Party is hereby appointed (without the obligation) the attorney in fact of each Guarantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 6 and taking any action and executing any instruments that the Trustee and the Control Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney in fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Trustee shall be entitled under this Section 6 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Trustee shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of any Guarantor representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

(e) Additional Remedies. In addition to any rights and remedies now or hereafter granted hereunder or under applicable law with respect to the Collateral, the Trustee shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction.

(f) Proceedings. The Trustee may maintain a Proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the Proceeding, and any such Proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be in its own name as trustee. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

may (upon direction by the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative)) determine.

6.3 Limited Recourse. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise, the liability of the Guarantors to the Noteholders and any other Secured Parties under or in relation to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise, is limited in recourse to the property and assets of the Securitization Entities. The proceeds of the property and assets of the Securitization Entities having been applied in accordance with the terms hereof, none of the Noteholders or any other Secured Parties shall be entitled to take any further steps against any Guarantor to recover any sums due but still unpaid hereunder or under any of the other agreements or documents described in this Section 6.3, all claims in respect of which shall be extinguished.

6.5 Control by the Control Party. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative, subject to Section 11.4(f) of the Base Indenture) may institute and direct the time, method and place of conducting, any proceeding in respect of any enforcement of the Collateral or conducting any proceeding in respect of any enforcement of Liens on the Collateral or conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee and to direct the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided that:

(b) the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) may take any other action deemed proper by the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) that is not inconsistent with such direction (as the same may be modified by the Control Party (with the consent of the Controlling Class Representative)); and

provided further that, subject to Section 10.1 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction if it reasonably believes such direction violates law, the Back-Up Management Standard, the Base Indenture or this Agreement or it has not received reasonably satisfactory indemnity. The Trustee will take no action referred to in this Section 6.5 unless instructed to do so by the Control Party in writing.

6.6 The Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Trustee, its agents and counsel), the Noteholders and any other Secured Party (as applicable) allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders or any other Secured Party, to pay the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.5 of the Base Indenture. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.5 of the Base Indenture out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money and other properties which any of the Noteholders or any other

Secured Party may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder or any other Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Noteholder or any other Secured Party, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder or any other Secured Party in any such proceeding.

6.7 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of any undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.7 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Noteholder pursuant to Section 9.8 of the Base Indenture, a suit by the Control Party or a suit by Noteholders of more than 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of all Series of Notes.

6.8 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee, any Noteholder or any other Secured Party has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned or dismissed for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Noteholder or other Secured Party, then and in every such case the Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, the Noteholders and the other Secured Parties shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

6.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes or any other Secured Party is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right or remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent or future assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

6.10 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, any Holder of any Note or any other Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Potential Rapid Amortization Event, Rapid Amortization Event, Lessee Payment Default Rapid Am Event, Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Potential Rapid Amortization Event, Rapid Amortization Event, Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Section 6 or by law to the Trustee, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, the Holders of Notes or any other Secured Party may be exercised from time to time to the extent not inconsistent with the Indenture or this Agreement, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, the Holders of Notes or any other Secured Party, as the case may be.

6.11 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Each Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement or any other

Transaction Document; and each Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantages of any such law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, the Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

6.12 Government Approvals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, any foreclosure on or sale or other transfer or disposition of any of the Collateral pursuant to the Spectrum Realization Procedures or otherwise, including by way of a sale, transfer, or disposition of Equity Interests in the License Holders or the Issuers, or other exercise of remedies in respect of the Collateral (a “Disposition”), that results in changing the de jure or de facto control of the Directly-Held Licenses or de facto control of the Third-Party Leased Licenses from the License Holders to any other Person shall be conducted in accordance with the Communications Laws and, if and to the extent required thereby, subject to the prior approval of the FCC or any other applicable Governmental Authority. Any Disposition that results in the transfer of any rights to use the spectrum encompassed by any Third-Party Lease Agreement shall require the consent of the Third-Party Lease Counterparty thereunder to the extent required therein, after giving effect to the Third-Party Lease Consent/Assignments. Each Guarantor agrees to take any lawful action that may be necessary or desirable which the Back-Up Manager or the Trustee may reasonably request in order to obtain and enjoy the full rights and benefits granted to the Secured Parties by the Transaction Documents, including specifically, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or after the occurrence of a Lessee Payment Default Rapid Am Event, the use of such Guarantor’s best efforts to assist in obtaining any approval of the FCC and any other Governmental Authority that is then required under the Communications Laws or under any other applicable Requirements of Law and any required consents under the Third-Party Lease Agreements after giving effect to the Third-Party Lease Consent/Assignments for any action or transaction contemplated by any Transaction Document, including the sale or other transfer or disposition of Collateral pursuant to the Spectrum Realization Procedures or otherwise following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Such efforts shall include, to the extent permitted by the Communications Laws, sharing with the Back-Up Manager and the Trustee any FCC registration numbers, account numbers and passwords for the FCC’s electronic filing system, and preparing, certifying and filing (or causing to be prepared, certified and filed) with the FCC or any other applicable Governmental Authority any portion of any application or applications for approval of the assignment or other transfer of control of the Licenses, the Third-Party Lease Agreements or any Issuer or Guarantor required to be filed under Communications Laws for approval of any sale or other transfer or disposition of any part of the Collateral.
