Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 16, 2012, NextWave Wireless Inc. (“we” or “NextWave”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) of a warrant originally issued on April 8, 2009 (the “Warrant”) to Sola Ltd. (“Sola”). As of December 31, 2011, Sola and its affiliates beneficially owned 3,747,694 shares, or 14.2%, of our issued and outstanding common stock; $34.3 million, or 25%, of the aggregate principal amount of our Senior Secured Notes due 2012; $42.8 million, or 22%, of the aggregate principal amount of our Senior-Subordinated Secured Second Lien Notes due 2013; and $79.8 million, or 12%, of the aggregate principal amount of our Third Lien Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes due 2013. The Warrant is exercisable for 357,143 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $0.07 per share. Under the terms of the Amendment, the expiration of the exercise period of the Warrant was extended to April 5, 2013. Sola agreed to pay any costs incurred by NextWave in connection with the warrant extension and had indicated its intention to exercise the warrant on a cashless exercise basis absent the extension.

The Amendment is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 4.1.
