Explanation of Responses:

1. The shares to which this Form 3 relates are held directly by Sola Ltd and Solus Core Opportunities Master Fund Ltd, each of which are Cayman Islands exempt companies (collectively, the "Funds"). This Form 3 shall not be construed as an admission that the Funds are the beneficial owners of any shares of common stock of Nextwave Wireless Inc.

3. Christopher Pucillo is the managing member of Solus GP. Mr. Pucillo disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held directly by the Fund pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(4), except to the extent of the indirect pecuniary interest, if any, in such shares as a result of his interest in affiliates of Solus or the Fund.
