Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Colorado Corporations

The Colorado Business Corporation Act, as revised, provides that if provided in the articles of incorporation, the corporation may eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or to its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; except that any such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director to the corporation or to its shareholders for monetary damages for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or to its shareholders, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, unlawful distributions, or any transaction from which the director directly or indirectly derived an improper personal benefit.

Delaware Corporations

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides, in effect, that any person made a party to any action by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation may and, in some cases, must be indemnified by the corporation against, in the case of a non-derivative action, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by him as a result of such action and in the case of a derivative action, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), if in either type of action he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal action, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. This indemnification does not apply, in a derivative action, to matters as to which it is adjudged that the director, officer, employee or agent is liable to the corporation, unless upon court order it is determined that, despite such adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses.

Delaware Limited Liability Companies

Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act provides that subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its limited liability company agreement, a limited liability company may indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever.

Delaware Limited Partnerships

Section 17-108 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (“DRULPA”) empowers a Delaware limited partnership to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other person from and against all claims and demands whatsoever, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its partnership agreement.

Georgia Corporations

The Georgia Business Corporation Code permits a corporation to indemnify a director or officer if the director or officer seeking indemnification acted in good faith and reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity, that his or her action was in the best interest of the corporation, (ii) in all other cases, that his or her action was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceedings, that he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, provided that indemnification in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding. The Georgia Business Corporation Code prohibits indemnification of a director in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation (other than for reasonable expenses) if it is determined that the director has not met the relevant standard of conduct, or with respect to conduct for which he or she was adjudged liable on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received by him or her, whether or not involving action in his or her official capacity. The Georgia Business Corporation Code additionally prohibits indemnification of an officer for liability arising in connection with appropriation of a business opportunity of the corporation, intentional or knowing violation of law, improper distributions or improper personal benefit.

Kansas Corporations

Section 17-6305 of the Kansas General Corporation Law (the “KGCL”) provides for indemnification by a corporation of its corporate officers, directors, employees and agents. The KGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify such persons who have been, are, or may become a party to an action, suit or proceeding due to his or her status as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. Further, the KGCL grants authority to a corporation to implement its own broader indemnification policy.

Kansas Limited Liability Companies

Section 17-7670 of the Kansas Revised Limited Liability Company Act (the “KLLCA”) provides that subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its operating agreement, a limited liability company may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. To the extent that a present or former member, manager, officer, employee or agent of a limited liability company has been successful on the merits or otherwise as a plaintiff in an action to determine that the plaintiff is a member of a limited liability company or in defense of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a member, manager, officer, employee or agent of the limited liability company, or is or was serving at the request of the limited liability company as a member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such member, manager, officer, employee or agent shall be indemnified by the limited liability company against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, including attorney fees.

Nevada Limited Liability Companies

Sections 86.411 and 86.421 of the Nevada Limited-Liability Companies law permit indemnification of any person who was or is a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a manager, member, employee or agent of the company, including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Indemnification may not be made for any claim as to which such a person has been adjudged to be liable to the company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. Nevada Limited-Liability Companies law allows a company to purchase or maintain insurance for members, managers, employees, and agents of the company.

New Hampshire Corporations

The New Hampshire Business Corporation Act (the “NHBCA”) provides that a corporation may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because he is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (1) he conducted himself in good faith; and (2) he reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in his official capacity with the corporation, that his conduct was in its best interests; and (ii) in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests; and (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding if: (1) the director furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct described in the preceding sentence; and (2) the director furnishes the corporation an undertaking, executed personally or on his behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he did not meet the standard of conduct; and (3) a determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification. Unless a corporation’s articles of incorporation provide otherwise, the corporation may indemnify and advance expense to an officer, employee or agent of the corporation who is not a director to the same extent as to a director. A corporation may not indemnify a director (x) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation; or (y) in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to him, whether or not involving action in his official capacity, in which he was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him. Unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a New Hampshire corporation shall indemnify a director or officer who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director or officer of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.

New York Limited Liability Companies

Section 420 of the New York Limited Liability Company Law provides that, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its operating agreement, a limited liability company may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless, and advance expenses to, any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. However, no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any member, manager or other person if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such member, manager or other person establishes that (i) such person’s acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or (ii) such person personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which such person was not legally entitled.

Texas Corporations

Sections 8.101 and 8.102 of the Texas Business Organizations Code (“TBOC”) provide that an enterprise may indemnify any governing person (which term excludes officers), former governing person, or a delegate who was, is, or is threatened to be made a respondent or defendant in (i) a threatened, pending, or completed action or other proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative), (ii) an appeal of such an action or proceeding, or (iii) an inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action or proceeding against judgments and reasonable expenses actually incurred, which expenses include reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, penalties, settlements, fines, and excises or similar taxes in connection with a proceeding, if that person (x) acted in good faith, (y) reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in that person’s official capacity, that the person’s conduct was in the enterprise’s best interests and, in any other case, that the person’s conduct was not opposed to the enterprise’s best interests, and (z) in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. With respect to any action in which a person has been found liable to the enterprise or found liable because the person improperly received a personal benefit, indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by that person in connection with the proceeding and will not include a judgment, penalty, fine, excise or similar tax. Indemnification may not be made in relation to a proceeding in which the person has been found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of the person’s duty to the enterprise, breach of the person’s duty of loyalty owed to the enterprise or an act or omission not committed in good faith that constitutes a breach of a duty owed by the person to the enterprise. To limit indemnification, liability must be established by an order and all appeals of the order must be exhausted or foreclosed by law. Section 8.105 of the TBOC provides that an enterprise may indemnify a person who is not a governing person, including officers, agents or employees, and, in the case of officers, shall indemnify such officers to the same extent that indemnification is required for a governing person. Section 8.151 of the TBOC provides that an enterprise may purchase or procure or establish and maintain insurance or another arrangement to indemnify and hold harmless an existing or former governing person, delegate, officer, employee or agent against any liability asserted against and incurred by the person in that capacity or arising out of the person’s status in that capacity, and such insurance or other arrangement may apply without regard to whether the enterprise otherwise would have had the power to indemnify the person against that liability.

Virginia Corporations

The Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “VSCA”) permits a Virginia corporation to indemnify its directors and officers in connection with certain actions, suits and proceedings brought against them if they acted in good faith and believed their conduct to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. The VSCA requires such indemnification when a director or officer entirely prevails in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation. The VSCA further provides that a Virginia corporation may make any other or further indemnity (including indemnity with respect to a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation), and may make additional provision for advances and reimbursement of expenses, if authorized by its articles of incorporation or shareholder-adopted bylaws, except an indemnity against willful misconduct or a knowing violation of criminal law.

The VSCA establishes a statutory limit on liability of directors and officers of a Virginia corporation for damages assessed against them in a suit brought by the corporation or in its right or brought by or on behalf of shareholders of the corporation and authorizes it, with shareholder approval, to specify a lower monetary limit on liability in the corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws; the liability of a director or officer, however, shall not be limited if such director or officer engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or of any federal or state securities law.

General

The certificates of incorporation of T-Mobile US, Inc. (“T-Mobile”) and T-Mobile USA, Inc. (“T-Mobile USA”) each provide for indemnification, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of T-Mobile or T-Mobile USA, respectively, or is or was serving at the request of T-Mobile or T-Mobile USA, respectively, as a director, officer, or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, liabilities, losses, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Each of T-Mobile and T-Mobile USA applies the provisions of its certificate of incorporation to indemnification of directors and officers of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the co-registrants. In addition, the organizational documents governing certain of the co-registrants generally provide directors, managers and officers with similar rights to indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The certificate of incorporation of T-Mobile provides that no director is liable to T-Mobile or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

T-Mobile has entered into indemnification agreements with all of its directors and executive officers and has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Any underwriting agreement may provide for indemnification by the underwriters of the issuer(s), any guarantors and their officers and directors for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.
