SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
WITH FULL AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE ABOVE PROVISIONS, HOLDER HEREBY

ARTICLE III
RESTRICTIONS ON SHARES
3.1 Repurchase Option. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2 below,
if Holder has a Termination of Employment before all of the Shares are released
from the Company's Repurchase Option (as defined below), the Company shall, upon
the date of such Termination (as reasonably fixed and determined by the
Company), have an irrevocable, exclusive option, but not the obligation, for a
period of sixty (60) days, commencing on the first day after the date Holder has
a Termination of Employment, to repurchase all or any portion of the Unreleased
Shares (as defined below in Section 3.3) at such time (the "REPURCHASE OPTION")
at the original cash purchase price per share (the "REPURCHASE PRICE"). The
Repurchase Option shall lapse and terminate on the last day of such 60-day
period. The Repurchase Option shall be exercisable by the Company by written
notice to Holder or Holder's executor (with a copy to the escrow agent appointed
pursuant to Section 4.1 below) and shall be exercisable, at the Company's
option, by delivery to Holder or Holder's executor with such notice of a check
in the amount of the Repurchase Price times the number of Shares to be
repurchased (the "AGGREGATE REPURCHASE PRICE"). Upon delivery of such notice and
the payment of the Aggregate Repurchase Price, the Company shall become the
legal and beneficial owner of the Shares being repurchased and all rights and
interests therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have the right to
retain and transfer to its own name the number of Shares being repurchased by
the Company. In the event the Company repurchases any Shares under this Section
3.1, any dividends or other distributions paid on such Shares and held by the
escrow agent pursuant to Section 4.1 and the Joint Escrow Instructions shall be
promptly paid by the escrow agent to the Company.
3.2 Release of Shares from Repurchase Restriction. The Shares shall be
released from the Company's Repurchase Option as indicated in Exhibit B to the
Grant Notice. Any of the Shares released from the Company's Repurchase Option
shall thereupon be released from the restrictions on transfer under Section 3.4.
In the event any of the Shares are released from the Company's Repurchase
Option, any dividends or other distributions paid on such Shares and held by the
escrow agent pursuant to Section 4.1 and the Joint Escrow Instructions shall be
promptly paid by the escrow agent to Holder.
3.3 Unreleased Shares. Any of the Shares which, from time to time, have
not yet been released from the Company's Repurchase Option are referred to
herein as "UNRELEASED SHARES."
3.4 Restrictions on Transfer. Unless otherwise permitted by the
Administrator pursuant to the Plan, no Unreleased Shares or any dividends or
other distributions thereon or any interest or right therein or part thereof,
shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of
-4-
Holder or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition
by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any
other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation
of law, judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable
proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall
be null and void and of no effect.
ARTICLE IV
ESCROW OF SHARES
4.1 Escrow of Shares. To insure the availability for delivery of
▇▇▇▇▇▇'s Unreleased Shares upon repurchase by the Company pursuant to the
Repurchase Option under Section 3.1, Holder hereby appoints the Secretary of the
Company, or any other person designated by the Administrator as escrow agent, as
his attorney-in-fact to assign and transfer unto the Company, such Unreleased
Shares, if any, repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Option
pursuant to Section 3.1 and any dividends or other distributions thereon, and
shall, upon execution of this Agreement, deliver and deposit with the Secretary
of the Company, or such other person designated by the Administrator, any share
certificates representing the Unreleased Shares, together with the stock
assignment duly endorsed in blank, attached to the Grant Notice as Exhibit D to
the Grant Notice. The Unreleased Shares and stock assignment shall be held by
the Secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the
Administrator, in escrow, pursuant to the Joint Escrow Instructions of the
Company and Holder attached as Exhibit E to the Grant Notice, until the Company
exercises its Repurchase Option as provided in Section 3.1, until such
Unreleased Shares are released from the Company's Repurchase Option, or until
such time as this Agreement no longer is in effect. Upon release of the
Unreleased Shares, the escrow agent shall deliver to Holder the certificate or
certificates representing such Shares in the escrow agent's possession belonging
to Holder in accordance with the terms of the Joint Escrow Instructions attached
as Exhibit E to the Grant Notice, and the escrow agent shall be discharged of
all further obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the escrow agent
shall nevertheless retain such certificate or certificates as escrow agent if so
required pursuant to other restrictions imposed pursuant to this Agreement. If
the Shares are held in book entry form, then such entry will reflect that the
Shares are subject to the restrictions of this Agreement. If any dividends or
other distributions are paid on the Unreleased Shares held by the escrow agent
pursuant to this Section 4.1 and the Joint Escrow Instructions, such dividends
or other distributions shall also be subject to the restrictions set forth in
this Agreement and held in escrow pending release of the Unreleased Shares with
respect to which such dividends or other distributions were paid from the
Company's Repurchase Option.
4.2 Transfer of Repurchased Shares. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby authorizes and directs
the Secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the
Administrator, to transfer the Unreleased Shares as to which the Repurchase
Option has been exercised from Holder to the Company.
4.3 No Liability for Actions in Connection with Escrow. The Company, or
its designee, shall not be liable for any act it may do or omit to do with
respect to holding the Shares in escrow and while acting in good faith and in
the exercise of its judgment.
-5-
ARTICLE V
OTHER PROVISIONS
5.1 Adjustment for Stock Split. In the event of any stock dividend,
stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination,
reclassification, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, the
Administrator shall make appropriate and equitable adjustments in the Unreleased
Shares subject to the Repurchase Option and the number of Shares, consistent
with any adjustment under Section 10.3 of the Plan. The provisions of this
Agreement shall apply, to the full extent set forth herein with respect to the
Shares, to any and all shares of capital stock or other securities which may be
issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in substitution of the Shares, and
shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividends, splits, reverse splits,
combinations, recapitalizations and the like occurring after the date hereof.
5.2 Taxes. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has reviewed with ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s own tax advisors the
federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the
transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement. Holder is
relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of
the Company or any of its agents. Holder understands that Holder (and not the
Company) shall be responsible for ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s own tax liability that may arise as a
result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Holder understands that Holder will recognize ordinary income for federal income
tax purposes under Section 83 of the Code. In this context, "restriction"
includes the right of the Company to repurchase the Shares pursuant to its
Repurchase Option set forth in Section 3.1. Holder understands that Holder may
elect to be taxed for federal income tax purposes at the time the Shares are
purchased rather than as and when the Repurchase Option lapses by filing an
election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service
within thirty (30) days from the date of purchase. A form of election under
Section 83(b) of the Code is attached to the Grant Notice as Exhibit ▇.
▇▇▇▇▇▇ ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS ▇▇▇▇▇▇'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE
COMPANY'S TO TIMELY FILE THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF HOLDER
REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON HOLDER'S
BEHALF
5.3 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Holder is subject to Section
16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Shares and this Agreement shall be subject
to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under
Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the
Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall be deemed
amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
5.4 Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret
the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration,
interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to
interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all
interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall
be
-6-
final and binding upon Holder, the Company and all other interested persons. No
member of the Administrator shall be personally liable for any action,
determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan,
this Agreement or the Shares. In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any
time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the
Administrator under the Plan and this Agreement.
5.5 Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.
(a) Any share certificate(s) evidencing the Shares issued
hereunder shall be endorsed with the following legend and any other legend
required by any applicable federal and state securities laws:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF
REPURCHASE IN FAVOR OF THE COMPANY AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE
SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.
(b) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the
restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate "stop
transfer" instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company
transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same
effect in its own records.
(c) The Company shall not be required: (i) to transfer on its
books any shares of Common Stock that have been sold or otherwise transferred in
violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) to treat as owner
of such shares of Common Stock or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends
to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such shares shall have been so
transferred.
5.6 Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to
the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the
Company, and any notice to be given to Holder shall be addressed to Holder at
the address given beneath ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s signature on the Grant Notice. By a notice
given pursuant to this Section 5.6, either party may hereafter designate a
different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice shall be
deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified mail (return
receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or
branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.
5.7 Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not
to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.
5.8 Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement shall be administered,
interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware without regard
to conflicts of laws thereof. Should any provision of this Agreement be
determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, the other
provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain enforceable.
-7-
5.9 Conformity to Securities Laws. Holder acknowledges that the Plan is
intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and state
securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Shares are to be issued, only
in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed
amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.
5.10 Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or
terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and by a duly
authorized representative of the Company.
5.11 No Employment Rights. If Holder is an Employee, nothing in the Plan
or this Agreement shall confer upon Holder any right to continue in the employ
of the Company or any Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way
the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which are expressly reserved, to
discharge Holder at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause,
except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between
the Company and Holder.
5.12 Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights
under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to
the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Agreement shall be binding
upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns.

mental illness, or any such actual or anticipated failure after ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s

more senior officer of the Company or any Subsidiary, by the Board of
Directors of the Company after a written demand for substantial
performance is delivered to Holder by the Company, or the Board of
Directors of the Company, as the case may be, which demand specifically
identifies the manner in which the Company or the Board of Directors of
the Company, as the case may be, believes that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has not
substantially performed such duties, provided that Holder shall have been
given a reasonable period, not to exceed fifteen (15) days, in which to

policies of the Company or any Subsidiary which are consistent with
Holder's duties with the Company or any Subsidiary, as reasonably
determined by the Company or, if Holder
B-1
is then employed in a position as a Senior Vice President of the Company
or any Subsidiary or a more senior officer of the Company or any
Subsidiary, by the Board of Directors of the Company (other than any such
failure resulting from ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s incapacity due to death, disability or
physical or mental illness, or any such actual or anticipated failure
after ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s issuance of a Notice of Termination for Good Reason), after
a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Holder by the
Company or the Board of Directors of the Company, as the case may be,
which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Company or
the Board of Directors of the Company, as the case may be, believes that
Holder has not substantially performed such directives, provided that the
Holder shall have been given a reasonable period not to exceed fifteen
(15) days in which to cure such failure (provided such failure is capable
of being cured), (C) upon Holder's commission of an act of fraud or
dishonesty impacting or involving the Company or any Subsidiary (or any
successor thereof), (D) upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s willful engagement in illegal
conduct or gross misconduct affecting the Company or any Subsidiary, or

thereof), a significant adverse alteration in the nature or status of
Holder's responsibilities or the conditions of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s employment with

action that results in a material diminution in Holder's position,

Subsidiary (or any successor thereof); (B) reduction of Holder's annual
base salary as in effect on the Grant Date or as the same may be increased
from time to time thereafter; (C) the relocation of the offices at which

from such location; (D) the Company's or Subsidiary's failure (or the
failure of any successor) to pay Holder any portion of Holder's current
compensation; (E) the Company's or Subsidiary's failure (or the failure of
any successor) to continue in effect any material compensation or benefit
plan in which Holder participates, unless an equitable arrangement
(embodied in an ongoing substitute or alternative plan) has been made with
respect to such plan, or the Company's or Subsidiary's failure to continue
Holder's participation therein (or in such substitute or alternative plan)
on the basis not materially less favorable, both in terms of the amount of
benefits provided and the level of Holder's participation relative to
other participants; (F) the Company's or Subsidiary's failure (or the
failure of any successor) to continue to provide Holder with benefits
substantially similar in the aggregate to those enjoyed by Holder under

employment with the Company or Subsidiary (or any successor thereof)
pursuant to this subparagraph shall not be affected by ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s incapacity
due to disability or physical or mental illness. ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s continued
employment with the Company or Subsidiary (or any successor thereof) shall
not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any
circumstance constituting Good Reason thereunder.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
As escrow agent (the "ESCROW AGENT") for both Leap Wireless International,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), and the undersigned recipient of
stock of the Company (the "HOLDER"), you are hereby authorized and directed to
hold in escrow the documents delivered to you pursuant to the terms of that
certain Restricted Stock Award Agreement ("AGREEMENT") between the Company and
the undersigned (the "Escrow"), including the stock certificate and the
Assignment in Blank, in accordance with the following instructions:
1. In the event the Company and/or any assignee of the Company
(referred to collectively for convenience herein as the "COMPANY") exercises the
Company's Repurchase Option as defined in the Agreement), the Company shall give
to the Holder and you a written notice specifying the number of shares of stock
to be purchased, the purchase price and the time for a closing hereunder at the
principal office of the Company. The Holder and the Company hereby irrevocably
authorize and direct you to close the transaction contemplated by such notice in
accordance with the terms of said notice.
2. As of the date of closing of the repurchase indicated in such
notice, you are directed (a) to date the stock assignments necessary for the
repurchase and transfer in question, (b) to fill in the number of shares being
repurchased and transferred, and (c) to deliver the same, together with the
certificate evidencing the shares of stock to be repurchased and transferred, to
the Company or its assignee.
3. Holder irrevocably authorizes the Company to deposit with you any
certificates evidencing shares of stock to be held by you hereunder and any
additions and substitutions to said shares as defined in the Agreement. ▇▇▇▇▇▇
does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint you as ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s attorney-in-fact
and agent for the term of this escrow to execute with respect to such securities
all documents necessary or appropriate to make such securities negotiable and to
complete any transaction herein contemplated, including but not limited to the
filing with any applicable state blue sky authority of any required applications
for consent to, or notice of transfer of, the securities. Subject to the
provisions of this paragraph and the Agreement, Holder shall exercise all rights
and privileges of a stockholder of the Company while the stock is held by you.

4. Upon written request of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, but no more than once per calendar
year, unless the Company's Repurchase Option has been exercised, you will
deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates representing so many shares of
stock as are not then subject to the Repurchase Option. At the written request
of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, on or prior to the later of (i) seventy (70) days after any voluntary
or involuntary termination of Holder's services to the Company for any or no
reason and (ii) ten (10) days after your receipt of Holder's written request,
you will deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates representing the
aggregate number of shares held or issued pursuant to the Agreement and not
repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Option set forth in Section 3.1 of the
Agreement.
5. If at the time of termination of this escrow you should have in your
possession any documents, securities, or other property belonging to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, you
shall deliver all of the same to the Holder and shall be discharged of all
further obligations hereunder.
6. Your duties hereunder may be altered, amended, modified or revoked
only by a writing signed by all of the parties hereto.
7. You shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as

genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. You
shall not be personally liable for any act you may do or omit to do hereunder as
Escrow Agent or as attorney-in-fact for Holder while acting in good faith, and
any act done or omitted by you pursuant to the advice of your own attorneys
shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.
8. You are hereby expressly authorized to disregard any and all
warnings given by any of the parties hereto or by any other person or
corporation, excepting only orders or process of courts of law and are hereby
expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any
court. In case you obey or comply with any such order, judgment or decree, you
shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person, firm or
corporation by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order,
judgment or decree being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside,
vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.
9. You shall not be liable in any respect on account of the identity,
authorities or rights of the parties executing or delivering or purporting to
execute or deliver the Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or called
for hereunder.
10. You shall not be liable for the expiration of any rights under any
applicable state, federal or local statute of limitations or similar statute or
regulation with respect to these Joint Escrow Instructions or any documents
deposited with you.

as you may deem necessary properly to advise you in connection with your
obligations hereunder, may rely upon the advice of such counsel, and may pay
such counsel reasonable compensation therefor. The Company will reimburse you
for any reasonable attorneys' fees with respect thereto.

12. Your responsibilities as Escrow Agent hereunder shall terminate if
you shall cease to be an officer or agent of the Company or if you shall resign
by written notice to each party. In the event of any such termination, the
Company shall appoint a successor ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Agent.
13. If you reasonably require other or further instruments in connection
with these Joint Escrow Instructions or obligations in respect hereto, the
necessary parties hereto shall join in furnishing such instruments.
14. It is understood and agreed that should any dispute arise with
respect to the delivery and/or ownership or right of possession of the
securities held by you hereunder, you are authorized and directed to retain in
your possession without liability to anyone all or any part of said securities
until such disputes shall have been settled either by mutual written agreement
of the parties concerned or by a final order, decree or judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction after the time for appeal has expired and no appeal has
been perfected, but you shall be under no duty whatsoever to institute or defend
any such proceedings.
15. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the
Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the
Company, and any notice to be given to the Holder or you shall be addressed to
the address given beneath Holder's and your signatures on the signature page to
this Agreement. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 15, any party may

notice under this Section 15. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent

the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without
regard to conflicts of law thereof.
