Clearwire LLC is proposing to issue up to approximately $750 million in aggregate principal amount of exchangeable senior notes (the “Exchangeable Notes”) which will be exchangeable, at the option of the holder, for shares of Class A common stock of the Company at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date of the Exchangeable Notes, which is expected to be seven (7) years from the date of issuance. The interest rate and exchange rate will be determined upon the pricing of the Exchangeable Notes. The Exchangeable Notes will be offered to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and non-U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Each Investor has the right, under Section 3.5 of the Equityholders’ Agreement, to purchase its Preemptive Right Pro Rata Share (as defined in the Equityholders’ Agreement) of the Exchangeable Notes. Please acknowledge on Annex A whether you wish to waive or exercise your preemptive rights with respect to the Exchangeable Notes. Please return the signed stockholder acknowledgement by Tuesday, November 30, 2010 to Frederick Williams at frederick.williams@clearwire.com. Please note that the rights of the Strategic Investors under Section 3.5 must be exercised by Comcast, as Strategic Investor Representative on behalf of the Strategic Investors.

Each Investor is required (pursuant to Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of November 28, 2008, among the Company and the Investors) to sign the Lock-Up Agreement attached hereto as Annex B in connection with the offering of the Exchangeable Notes. Please sign and return the Lock-Up Agreement by Monday, November 29, 2010 to Frederick Williams at the email address above.

This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any conflicts of law provisions thereof that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. This letter agreement may be relied upon by the Company, Clearwire LLC, any of their respective officers or directors or any other party.

This letter agreement constitutes the notice required to be delivered by the Company to the Investors pursuant to Section 3.5(b) of the Equityholders’ Agreement. This letter agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all counterparts when taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.

Sincerely,

CLEARWIRE CORPORATION
