For purposes of calculating the *** Co-op fund, the kitted net purchase price will exclude SIM Card, SIM Card fees ("pick fee"), and any incremental NPI specified collateral and associated pick fees. Motorola will issue a credit to NPI's account for all prior month's co-op accruals and net credit against open invoices due on the wire settlement. Appropriate program guidelines are set forth at Appendix E. "Limited Edition" models are defined as those unique versions of current handset models distributed in quantities of less than *** units.

Section 5 "Efficiency Curve Price Adjustments" is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: "5. Efficiency Curve Price Adjustments ("ECPA") *** CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. MOTOROLA & NEXTEL PARTNERS CONFIDENTIAL PROPRIETARY Amendment Three to Subscriber Units and Services Supply Agreement Page 5 of 19 5.1 The 2005 price reductions or ECPAs set forth in Section 5.2 below will apply to iDEN Falcon post-paid Handset Units identified in Appendix B-1 and shipped on a worldwide basis, excluding Special Category, Limited Edition, Special Edition, NASCAR, and DBR models, and excluding NPI sourced/selected items (i.e. SIM Cards, collateral pieces, and associated pick fees) (collectively "2005 Eligible Handset Units"). The following ECPA thresholds are effective January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005 and are not retroactive to any ECPAs that occurred in 2004 (no retro-active impacts to the efficiency curve model). 5.2 Efficiency Curve Price Adjustments for 2005 Eligible Handset Units .1 A *** price reduction after every *** Low Tier ("LT") 2005 Eligible Handset Units (net of returns) shipped on a worldwide basis, where LT handsets are defined in Appendix B-1. .2 A *** price reduction after every *** Mid Tier ("MT") 2005 Eligible Handset Units (net of returns) shipped on a worldwide basis, where MT handsets are defined in Appendix B-1. .3 An *** price reduction after every *** High Tier ("HT") 2005 Eligible Handset Units (net of returns) shipped on a worldwide basis, where HT handsets are defined in Appendix B-1. .4 Volumes of Handset Units are aggregated by tier (not model), meaning that the ECPA occur each time the aggregate number of units shipped in HT total *** or MT total *** or LT total ***. Only models that have shipped at the time of an ECPA are eligible for the corresponding price reduction. Newly introduced models will not be eligible for an ECPA until six (6) months after shipment but purchases of those units will still count toward the aggregate number of Handset Units in a particular tier for purposes of the ECPA thresholds. For example, if an eligible MT Handset Unit model starts shipping on 12/1/04, the units of this model are included in the count toward the *** MT units from 12/1/04. However, if a MT ECPA occurs in April (prior to 6/1/05, i.e., 6 months after shipment), this model will not be eligible for the ECPA in April. The model will only be eligible for the next MT ECPA when it occurs. 5.3 The following 2006 price reductions or ECPAs set forth in Section 5.4 below will apply to iDEN Falcon post-paid Handset Units identified in Appendix B-2 and shipped on a worldwide basis, excluding Special *** CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

However, purchases of those Subscriber Units shall still count towards the ECPA purchase thresholds. This Section 5.5 does not apply to any of the incentives, credits or rebates provided to NPI in Sections 16, 17 or 18 herein. 5.7 Effective for the First Renewal Term, individual Handset Unit models will be limited to: - *** ECPAs per calendar year. - *** ECPAs in a specific Handset Unit model's tier classification, thereafter the Handset Unit model drops down one tier classification. - *** ECPAs in the Handset Unit model's lifetime. 5.8 During the First Renewal Term, to address transitional issues resulting from the implementation of new Handset Unit tier criteria definitions and guiding principles set forth above, NPI and Motorola agree that Handset Unit models that have already received ECPAs prior to January 1, 2005 ("Prior ECPAs") will be treated as follows: - Prior ECPAs count toward lifetime limitation of *** ECPAs (i.e., carry-forward historical count for purposes of lifetime allowable ECPAs) - Prior ECPAs do not count toward the limitation of *** ECPAs in a specific tier classification (i.e., fresh start, do not carry-forward historical count for purposes of per tier classification allowable ECPAs). 5.9 During the First Renewal Term, after a Handset Unit model has received *** ECPAs in a specific Handset Unit model's tier classification, the model will be reclassified to the next lower tier classification for purposes of ECPAs and all of the model's volume from then forward will count towards the achievement of ECPAs in the model's new tier classification.

ECPAs that occur after July 1, 2006 will be reflected in the ECPA Eligible Handset model's price once the ECPA threshold is achieved. 3. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS A. Motorola and NPI agree that the following provision is added to Section 3 entitled "Promotional Programs" of Attachment B of the Agreement entitled "Product Terms for Subscriber Units and Accessories" as a new subsection: "3.6 2006 Volume Rebate Incentive ("2006 VRI") Program for Handsets .1 NPI is to receive 2006 VRIs in accordance with the table below once Motorola's Handset Sales, as defined below, to NPI exceed *** for January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006 ("the 2006 Period").

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchase Advance credits applied to invoiced prices pursuant to Section 4 will not be subtracted from the invoiced price for purposes of calculating the Handset Sales. .3 Except as set forth below, all handset models are eligible for the 2006 VRI program unless otherwise agreed by the Parties from time to time. Items excluded from the calculation of Handset Sales are data devices (such as im1100), specialty items, returned items, *** CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

Based on the handset activations set forth in that report, and subject to the volume commitments set forth in Section 16.1.2, Motorola will remit to NPI the *** of the *** activation rebate that NPI qualifies for as set forth in Section 16.1 above. 16.1.2 In the event that a NPI commitment is not met as specified in Table A (i.e. any shortfalls to minimums or excesses to maximums), NPI will reimburse to Motorola the activation rebates provided by Motorola pursuant to Section 16.1 on a pro-rata basis as specified in Table A. In the event that a reimbursement is due to Motorola, such reimbursement will be settled on the January 2006 wire (which includes shipments and activity ending December 31, 2005).
