(the “Election Form”)

Sprint Nextel Corporation (Sprint), by an offer to Exchange Certain Outstanding Stock Options for New Stock Options (Offer to Exchange), is offering Eligible Employees the opportunity to exchange Eligible Options for New Options covering a lesser number of Sprint common shares. The Offer will remain open until 11:00 p.m. Central time on June 16, 2010 (or if we extend the Offer a later date that we will specify).

The terms and conditions of the Offer are provided in the Offer to Exchange, which is included in the Offer packet. Capitalized words used in this Election Form are defined in the Offer to Exchange. Before proceeding, you are encouraged to carefully read the Offer to Exchange document, the related documents and this Election Form. No one from Sprint, Stock & Option Solutions or any other entity related to this program is permitted to provide any advice, recommendation or additional information about the Stock Option Exchange Program, and we encourage you to consult with your own advisors about your decision.

You may use this Election Form to:

1. Elect to exchange your Eligible Options;

2. Withdraw an election you previously made; or

3. Change an election you previously made.

We have provided you with two identical copies of this Election Form so that you will have an extra one if, after you have submitted an election, you wish to withdraw or change it. You may wish to make additional copies of this Election Form for this purpose. If you would like to request additional copies of this Election Form or the other material in the Offer packet, e-mail stockoptionexchangeprogram@sprint.com or call 913-762-6617. All copies will be furnished promptly at Sprint’s expense.

To properly elect to exchange your Eligible Options or withdraw or change a previous election, Sprint must receive page four of this Election Form before 11 p.m. Central time, on the expiration date, which is currently June 16, 2010, or, if the Offer is extended, the extended expiration date of the Offer (the “Expiration Date”).

You are not required to return this Election Form if you do not wish to participate in the Offer. If Sprint does not receive an Election Form from you before 11 p.m. Central time on the Expiration Date (the “Expiration Time”), we will interpret that as your election not to participate in the Offer and you will retain all of your outstanding Eligible Options with their current terms and conditions.

exchanged Eligible Options. By electing to exchange my Eligible Options, I also agree that if my election is accepted, my election also constitutes my acceptance of New Options granted in exchange therefor and my agreement to and acceptance of the terms and conditions set forth in the Award Agreement. If I have previously submitted an election to exchange some or all of my Eligible Options and wish to withdraw one or more of my tendered options from the Offer and/or change my election to tender Eligible Options, by submitting this election, I elect to exchange or not exchange the Eligible Options now indicated.

I understand that I am not required to tender my Eligible Options for exchange, and participation in the Offer is completely voluntary. If I elect to participate in the Offer, I may elect to tender any or all of my Eligible Options on a grant-by-grant basis. If I do not wish to participate in the Offer, no action is required on my part.

I understand that if I do not elect to exchange some or all of my Eligible Options, I will not receive any New Options in exchange for such Eligible Options and will continue to hold the Eligible Options that I do not elect to exchange, which will continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable existing stock option award agreements between Sprint and me.

Sprint has advised me to consult with my own tax, financial and legal advisors as to the consequences of participating or not participating in this Offer before making any decision whether to participate.

I understand that participation in the Offer will not be construed as a right to my continued employment with Sprint or any of its subsidiaries. I understand that participation in the Offer will not alter or affect any provisions of my employment relationship with Sprint or one of its subsidiaries (other than to the extent that New Options replace Eligible Options). I understand that the New Options will not create any contractual or other right to receive any other future equity or cash compensation, payments or benefits.

I understand that my right to participate in the Offer or be granted a New Option will terminate effective as of the date that I am no longer employed with Sprint or a subsidiary, as determined by Sprint for purposes of the Offer.

I understand that Sprint, subject to applicable law, may extend or amend the Offer and postpone its acceptance and cancellation of my Eligible Options that I have tendered for exchange. I understand that Sprint may terminate the Offer if any of the conditions specified in Section III of the Offer to Exchange occurs. In such event, I understand that my Eligible Options tendered for exchange but not accepted will remain in effect with their current terms and conditions.

I understand that my elections and agreements will survive my death or incapacity and will be binding upon my heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

The Election Form is governed by and subject to United States federal law and Kansas state law, as well as the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Exchange. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under the Election Form, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of Kansas and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of the State of Kansas, or the federal courts of the United States for the District of Kansas, where this Offer is made and/or to be performed. Sprint will determine, in its sole discretion, all questions about the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any Eligible Options and any Election Forms. Sprint’s determination of these matters will be given the maximum deference permitted by law. However, I have all rights accorded to me under applicable law to challenge such determination in a court of competent jurisdiction. Only a court of competent jurisdiction can make a determination that will be final and binding upon the parties.
