RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

     Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) to which this Restricted Stock Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is attached, Leap Wireless International, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted to Holder the number of shares of Restricted Stock under the Company’s 2009 Employment Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) indicated in the Grant Notice. The Shares are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan which are incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan and the Grant Notice.

ARTICLE I

GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK

     1.1 Grant of Restricted Stock. Effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, the Company irrevocably grants to Holder the number of shares of Common Stock set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Shares”) in consideration for Holder’s employment with or service to the Company or its Subsidiaries on or before the Grant Date, for which the Administrator has determined Holder has not been fully compensated, and the Administrator has determined that the benefit received by the Company as a result of such employment or service has a value that exceeds the aggregate par value of the Shares, which Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The grant of the Shares is an inducement material to Holder’s entering into employment with the Company or a Subsidiary.

     1.2 Issuance of Shares. On the Grant Date, the Company shall issue the Shares to Holder and shall (a) cause a stock certificate or certificates representing the Shares to be registered in the name of Holder, or (b) cause such Shares to be issued in uncertificated form, with such Shares recorded in the name of Holder in the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent, with appropriate notations regarding the restrictions imposed pursuant to this Agreement. If a stock certificate is issued, it shall be delivered to and held in custody by the Company pursuant to Section 1.4 and shall bear the restrictive legends required by Section 3.3 below. The issuance of the Shares shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to issuance set forth in Section 7.9 of the Plan.

     1.3 Rights as Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon issuance of the Shares by the Company, Holder shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to said Shares, subject to the restrictions herein, including the right to vote the Shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares; provided, however, that any and all cash dividends paid on such Shares and any and all shares of Common Stock, capital stock or other securities received by or distributed to Holder with respect to the Shares as a result of any stock dividend stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination,

4-Year Time Based Vesting Restricted Stock Award

reclassification, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company shall also be subject to the Forfeiture Restriction (as defined in Section 2.1 below) and the restrictions on transfer in Section 2.4 below until such restrictions on the underlying Shares lapse or are removed pursuant to this Agreement and shall be held by the Company pursuant to Section 1.4 pending the removal of such restrictions.

     1.4 Escrow. The Secretary of the Company, or such other escrow holder as the Administrator may appoint, may retain physical custody of the certificates, if any, representing the Shares (and any dividends or other distributions paid on such Shares) until all of the restrictions imposed pursuant to this Agreement lapse or shall have been removed. In such event, Holder shall not retain physical custody of any certificates representing Unreleased Shares issued to Holder (or any dividends or other distributions paid on such Shares). Holder, by acceptance of this Award, shall be deemed to appoint, and does so appoint, the Company and each of its authorized representatives as ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s attorney(s)-in-fact to effect any transfer of forfeited Unreleased Shares (and any dividends or other distributions paid on such Shares) to the Company as may be required pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement, and to execute such representations or other documents or assurances as the Company or such representatives deem necessary or advisable in connection with any such transfer.

ARTICLE II

RESTRICTIONS ON SHARES

     2.1 Forfeiture Restriction. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2 below, if Holder has a Termination of Employment, Termination of Directorship or Termination of Consultancy, as applicable, all of the Unreleased Shares (as defined below) shall thereupon be forfeited immediately and without any further action of the Company (the “Forfeiture Restriction”). Upon the occurrence of such a forfeiture, the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Unreleased Shares 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 Unreleased Shares being forfeited by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. In the event any of the Shares are forfeited pursuant to this Section 2.1, any dividends or other distributions paid on such Shares and held by the Company shall be retained by the Company. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby authorizes and directs the Secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Administrator, to transfer the Unreleased Shares which have been forfeited pursuant to this Section 2.1 from Holder to the Company.

     2.2 Release of Shares from Forfeiture Restriction. Subject to Section 2.1 above, the Shares shall be released from the Forfeiture Restriction as indicated in Exhibit B to the Grant Notice. Any of the Shares released from the Forfeiture Restriction shall thereupon be released from the restrictions on transfer under Section 2.4. In the event any of the Shares are released from the Forfeiture Restriction, any dividends or other distributions paid on such Shares and held by the Company pursuant to Section 1.3 shall be promptly paid by the Company to Holder. As soon as administratively practicable following the release of any Shares from the Forfeiture Restriction, the Company shall, as applicable, either deliver to Holder the certificate or certificates representing such Shares in the Company’s possession belonging to Holder, or, if the Shares are held in uncertificated form, then the Company shall remove the notations on any such

4-Year Time Based Vesting Restricted Stock Award

Shares. Holder (or the beneficiary or personal representative of Holder in the event of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s death or incapacity, as the case may be) shall deliver to the Company any representations or other documents or assurances as the Company or its representatives deem necessary or advisable in connection with any such delivery.

     2.3 Unreleased Shares. Any of the Shares which, from time to time, have not yet been released from the Forfeiture Restriction are referred to herein as “Unreleased Shares.”

     2.4 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 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 by 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 III

OTHER PROVISIONS

     3.1 Taxes.

          (a) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 representatives or 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. 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 Forfeiture Restriction 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.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to require payment (which payment may be made in cash, by deduction from other compensation payable to Holder or in any form of consideration permitted by Section 10.4 of the Plan) of any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to the issuance, lapsing of restrictions on or sale of the Shares. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any new certificate representing vested Shares to Holder or Holder’s

4-Year Time Based Vesting Restricted Stock Award

beneficiary or legal representative unless and until Holder or Holder’s beneficiary or legal representative, as applicable, shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of Holder resulting from the issuance, lapsing of restrictions on or sale of the Shares.

     3.2 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.

     3.3 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 MAY BE SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE UNDER, 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 the Plan or 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.

     3.4 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 or to the most recent address for Holder in the Company’s personnel records (or, if sent by email, to the most recent email address for Holder in the Company’s personnel records). By a notice given pursuant to this Section 3.4, 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.

4-Year Time Based Vesting Restricted Stock Award

     3.5 Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

     3.6 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.

     3.7 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.

     3.8 Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed or acknowledged by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and by a duly authorized representative of the Company.

     3.9 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.

     3.10 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.

4-Year Time Based Vesting Restricted Stock Award

Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary or any successor thereof) of its obligations to Holder under a written severance agreement that expressly provides that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s resignation of employment with the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary thereof) following a material breach of such written severance agreement constitutes a resignation of employment for “Good Reason” thereunder.

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

Holder must provide written notice to the Company of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events or conditions without Holder’s written consent within ninety (90) days of the initial occurrence of such event or condition. The Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary or any successor thereof) shall have a period of thirty (30) days to cure such event or condition after receipt of written notice of such event or condition from Holder. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ must resign for Good Reason within one (1) year following the initial existence of the event or condition constituting Good Reason.

          (c) Condition to Release of Shares. The release of Unreleased Shares from the Forfeiture Restriction pursuant to subparagraph 2(a) shall be conditioned on Holder’s delivery to the Company of an executed General Release substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D to the Grant Notice (which General Release shall be subject to revision from time-to-time by the Company due to, among other things, changing legal and regulatory requirements) and the Holder’s non-revocation of such General Release during the time period for such revocation set forth therein.

(collectively, the “Companies”) and their respective stockholders, officers, directors, managers, employees, representatives, related entities, successors and assigns, and all persons acting by, through or in concert with them (collectively, the “Releasees”) of and from any and all claims, actions, charges, complaints, causes of action, rights, demands, debts, damages, or accountings of whatever nature, except for criminal activity, known or unknown, which Holder may have against the Releasees based on any actions or events which occurred prior to the date of this General Release, including, but not limited to, those related to, or arising from, ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s employment with the Companies, or the termination thereof, any claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Federal Age Discrimination and Employment Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (collectively, “Claims”). This General Release shall not, however, constitute a waiver of any of Holder’s vested rights under any outstanding award granted to Holder pursuant to the Plan or under the terms of any employee benefit plan of the Companies in which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is a participant.

     2. Release of Unknown Claims. In addition, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ expressly waives all rights under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which reads as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH A CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

     3. Older Worker’s Benefit Protection Act. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees and expressly acknowledges that this General Release includes a waiver and release of all claims which Holder has or may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 621, et seq.

          ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is advised to consult an attorney before signing this General Release.

          ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is afforded twenty-one (21) days (or, in the event that the Holder is terminated in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program, forty-five (45) days) after ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is provided with this General Release to decide whether or not to sign this General Release. If Holder executes this General Release prior to the expiration of such period, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ does so voluntarily and after having had the opportunity to consult with an attorney.

          f. In the event that any termination of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s employment is in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program, Holder is provided with written information, calculated to be understood by the average individual eligible to participate, as to:
