Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Effective August 16, 2012, the Third Lien Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes (the "Third Lien Notes") were amended and restated. In connection with such amendment and restatement, the Third Lien Notes were split into two series to provide that certain of Nextwave Wireless, Inc.'s (the "Issuer") obligations to the holders of the Third Lien Notes remain with the Issuer (including, an obligation in respect of the repayment of outstanding obligations of $325 million by the Issuer to such holders) and the remaining principal balance of the Third Lien Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest as of August 16, 2012, become direct obligations of a new holding company formed by the Issuer ("Nextwave Holdco"). (SEE FOOTNOTE NO. 2 FOR CONTINUATION.)
(2) (CONTINUATION OF FOOTNOTE NO. 1.) Nextwave Holdco was formed in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Issuer by AT&T Inc. by means of a merger to hold all of the Issuer's assets other than its Wireless Communication Services and Advanced Wireless Services wireless spectrum licenses and other assets related thereto. In connection with the amendment and restatement of the Third Lien Notes, the Third Lien Notes were amended to remove the conversion feature and are no longer convertible into shares of common stock of the Issuer. The transactions reported herein reflect the fact that the Third Lien Notes held by the reporting persons are no longer convertible into common stock of the Issuer.
(3) The number of shares reflects the aggregate principal amount of the Third Lien Notes (including Payment In Kind ("PIK") interest) divided by the conversion price of $77.35 (the conversion price was previously $11.05 but was adjusted on June 21, 2010 to reflect the Issuer's 1-for-7 reverse stock split).
(4) The securities are owned directly by Avenue International Master, L.P. ("Avenue International").
(5) The securities are owned directly by Avenue Investments, L.P. ("Avenue Investments").
(6) The securities are owned directly by Avenue Special Situations Fund IV, L.P. ("Avenue Special Situations").
(7) The securities are owned directly by Avenue CDP Global Opportunities Fund, L.P. ("Avenue Global Opportunities").
