Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of T-Mobile US, Inc. (“T-Mobile,” “we,” “our,” “us” or “the Company”) include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those for the full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the balances and results of operations of T-Mobile and our consolidated subsidiaries. We consolidate majority-owned subsidiaries over which we exercise control, as well as variable interest entities (“VIE”) where we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary and VIEs which cannot be deconsolidated, such as those related to our obligations to pay for the management and operation of certain of our wireless communications tower sites (“Tower Obligations”). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires our management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions which our management believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including but not limited to the potential impacts arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the uncertainty around the magnitude and duration of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, these estimates are inherently subject to judgment and actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Current Year

Receivables and Expected Credit Losses

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” and has since modified the standard with several ASUs (collectively, the “new credit loss standard”). The new credit loss standard requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. The new credit loss standard became effective for us, and we adopted the standard, on January 1, 2020. The new credit loss standard required a cumulative-effect adjustment to Accumulated deficit at the date of initial application, and as a result, we did not restate prior periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Under the new credit loss standard we recognize lifetime expected credit losses at the inception of our credit risk exposures whereas we previously recognized credit losses only when it was probable that they had been incurred. We also recognize expected credit losses on our equipment installment plan (“EIP”) receivables separately from, and in addition to, any unamortized discount on those receivables. Prior to the adoption of the new credit loss standard, we had offset our estimate of probable losses on our EIP receivables by the amount of the related unamortized discounts on those receivables. We have developed an expected credit loss model incorporating forward-looking loss indicators. The cumulative effect of initially applying the new credit loss standard on our receivables portfolio on January 1, 2020 was an increase to our allowance for credit losses of $91 million, a decrease to our net deferred tax liabilities of $24 million and an increase to our Accumulated deficit of $67 million.

Accounts Receivable Portfolio Segment

Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts currently due from customers (e.g., for wireless services), handset insurance administrators, wholesale partners, other carriers and third-party retail channels. Accounts receivable are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the amortized cost basis (i.e., the receivables’ outstanding principal balance adjusted for any write-offs), net of the allowance for expected credit losses. We have an arrangement to sell the majority of customer service accounts receivable on a revolving basis, which are treated as sales of financial assets.
8

EIP Receivables Portfolio Segment

We offer certain retail customers the option to pay for their devices and other purchases in installments over a period of, generally, 24 months and up to 36 months using an EIP. EIP receivables are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the amortized cost basis (i.e., the receivables’ outstanding principal balance adjusted for any write-offs and unamortized discounts), net of the allowance for expected credit losses. At the time of an installment sale, we impute a discount for interest if the EIP term exceeds 12 months as there is no stated rate of interest on the EIP receivables. The EIP receivables are recorded at their present value, which is determined by discounting expected future cash payments at the imputed interest rate. The difference between the recorded amount of the EIP receivables and their unpaid principal balance (i.e., the contractual amount due from the customer) results in a discount which is allocated to the performance obligations of the arrangement and recorded as a reduction in transaction price in Total service revenues and Equipment revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. We determine the imputed discount rate based primarily on current market interest rates and the estimated credit risk on the EIP receivables. The imputed discount on EIP receivables is amortized over the financed installment term using the effective interest method and recognized as Other revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

At the time that we originate EIP loans to customers, we recognize an allowance for credit losses that we expect to incur over the lifetime of such assets. This allowance represents the portion of the amortized cost basis of EIP receivables that we do not expect to collect.

The current portion of the EIP receivables is included in Equipment installment plan receivables, net and the long-term portion of the EIP receivables is included in Equipment installment plan receivables due after one year, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have an arrangement to sell certain EIP receivables on a revolving basis, which are treated as sales of financial assets.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We maintain an allowance for expected credit losses and determine its appropriateness through an established process that assesses the lifetime credit losses that we expect to incur related to our receivable portfolio. We develop and document our allowance methodology at the portfolio segment level for the accounts receivable portfolio and EIP receivables portfolio segments. While we attribute portions of the allowance to our respective accounts receivable and EIP portfolio segments, the entire allowance is available to absorb expected credit losses related to the total receivable portfolio.

Our process involves procedures to appropriately consider the unique risk characteristics of our accounts receivable and EIP receivable portfolio segments. For each portfolio segment, losses are estimated collectively for groups of receivables with similar characteristics. Our allowance levels are influenced by receivable volumes, receivable delinquency status, historical loss experience and other conditions influencing loss expectations, such as changes in credit and collections policies and forecasts of macro-economic conditions.

Total imputed discount and allowances were approximately 8.7% and 7.0% of the total amount of gross accounts receivable, including EIP receivables, at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

We consider a receivable past due when a customer has not paid us by the contractually specified payment due date. We write-off account balances if collection efforts are unsuccessful and the receivable balance is deemed uncollectible, based on customer credit quality and the aging of the receivable.

Cloud Computing Arrangements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Topic 350): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract.” The standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard also requires the presentation of the amortization of the capitalized implementation costs in the same line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as the fees associated with the hosting arrangement. The standard became effective for us, and we adopted the standard, on January 1, 2020. We adopted the standard on a prospective basis applying it to implementation costs incurred subsequent to January 1, 2020 and as a result did not restate the prior periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

9

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. We early adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 and have applied the standard retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Guarantor Financial Information

On March 2, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted amendments to the financial disclosure requirements for guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities, as well for affiliates whose securities collateralize a registrant’s securities. The amendments revise Rules 3-10 and 3-16 of Regulation S-X, and relocate part of Rule 3-10 and all of Rule 3-16 to the new Article 13 in Regulation S-X, which is comprised of new Rules 13-01 and 13-02. We early adopted the requirements of the amendments on January 1, 2020, which included replacing guarantor condensed consolidating financial information with summarized financial information for the consolidated obligor group (Parent, Issuer, and Guarantor Subsidiaries) as well as no longer requiring guarantor cash flow information, financial information for non-guarantor subsidiaries, and a reconciliation to the consolidated results.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not have, or are not expected to have, a significant impact on our present or future condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Business Combination

Business Combination and Amendments

On April 29, 2018, we entered into a Business Combination Agreement to merge with Sprint in an all-stock transaction at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.10256 shares of T-Mobile common stock for each share of Sprint common stock, or 9.75 shares of Sprint common stock for each share of T-Mobile common stock (the “Merger”).

On July 26, 2019, in connection with the entry into the Asset Purchase Agreement, described below, we and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Business Combination Agreement. Amendment No. 1 extended the Outside Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) to November 1, 2019, or, if the Marketing Period (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) had started and was in effect at such date, then January 2, 2020.

On February 20, 2020, we and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement entered into Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Business Combination Agreement, extending the Outside Date to July 1, 2020.

In addition, pursuant to Amendment No. 2, SoftBank Group Corp. (“SoftBank”) agreed to indemnify T-Mobile and its subsidiaries following the closing of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”) against (i) any monetary losses arising out of or resulting from certain specified matters and (ii) the loss of value to T-Mobile and its subsidiaries arising out of or resulting from cessation of access to spectrum of Sprint or its subsidiaries under certain circumstances, subject to limitations and qualifications contained in Amendment No. 2.

Concurrently with entry into Amendment No. 2, T-Mobile, SoftBank and Deutsche Telekom AG (“DT”) entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, SoftBank agreed to cause its applicable affiliates to surrender to T-Mobile, for no additional consideration, an aggregate of 48,751,557 shares of T-Mobile common stock (such number of shares, the “SoftBank Specified Shares Amount”), effective immediately following the Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), making SoftBank’s exchange ratio 11.31 shares of Sprint common stock for each share of T-Mobile common stock. This resulted in an effective exchange ratio of approximately 11.00 shares of Sprint common stock for each share of T-Mobile common stock immediately following the closing of the Merger, an increase from the originally agreed 9.75 shares. Sprint shareholders other than SoftBank received the original fixed exchange ratio of 0.10256 shares of T-Mobile common stock for each share of Sprint common stock, or the equivalent of approximately 9.75 shares of Sprint common stock for each share of T-Mobile common stock.

10

The Letter Agreement further provides that if the trailing 45-day volume-weighted average price per share of T-Mobile common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market is equal to or greater than $150.00 at any time during the period commencing on April 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2025, T-Mobile will issue to SoftBank, for no additional consideration, a number of shares of T-Mobile common stock equal to the SoftBank Specified Shares Amount, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Letter Agreement.

Sprint Merger

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, we completed the Merger, and as a result, Sprint and its subsidiaries became wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries of T-Mobile. Sprint is a communications company offering a comprehensive range of wireless and wireline communications products and services. As a combined company, we expect to be able to rapidly launch a broad and deep nationwide 5G network, accelerate innovation, increase competition in the U.S. wireless, video and broadband industries and achieve synergies.

Upon completion of the Merger, each share of Sprint common stock was exchanged for 0.10256 shares of T-Mobile common stock, or 9.75 shares of Sprint common stock for each share of T-Mobile common stock. After adjustments, including the holdback of the SoftBank Specified Shares Amount and fractional shares, we issued 373,396,310 shares of T-Mobile common stock to Sprint shareholders. Based on the T-Mobile closing share price as of March 31, 2020 of $83.90, the value of the T-Mobile common stock provided in exchange for Sprint common stock was approximately $31.3 billion.

In addition to the exchange of common stock, the consideration transferred also included the assumption and repayment of certain outstanding debt balances of Sprint, the replacement of equity awards of certain Sprint employees for services provided prior to the Merger and contingent consideration payable to SoftBank, pursuant to the Letter Agreement described above. Our valuation of these components of consideration is not yet complete.

The major classes of assets acquired through the Merger include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, equipment installment plan receivables, inventory, fixed assets and network equipment, operating and financing lease right-of-use assets, spectrum licenses and other intangible assets. The major classes of liabilities assumed include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, short-term debt, operating and financing lease liabilities, net pension plan liabilities, deferred tax liabilities and long-term debt with an aggregate principal balance of $26.5 billion.

Due to the limited time since the acquisition date, restrictions on access to Sprint information arising from antitrust considerations prior to the closing of the Merger and the size and complexity of the Transactions, the accounting for the business combination is not yet complete. We are not able to provide the valuation of certain components of consideration transferred or provide the allocation of consideration paid to the assets acquired or liabilities assumed, including any indemnification assets and contingent consideration. Supplemental pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined company are predicated on the completion of the business combination accounting and allocation of consideration.

Immediately following the closing of the Merger and the surrender of the SoftBank Specified Shares Amount, pursuant to the Letter Agreement described above, DT and SoftBank Group held, directly or indirectly, approximately 43.6% and 24.7%, respectively, of the outstanding T-Mobile common stock, with the remaining approximately 31.7% of the outstanding T-Mobile common stock held by other stockholders.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 22, 2020, we filed a Form S-8 to register a total of 25,304,224 shares of common stock, representing those covered by the Sprint Corporation 1997 Long-Term Stock Incentive Program (the “1997 Program”), the Sprint Corporation 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) and the Sprint Corporation Amended and Restated 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the “2015 Plan” and, together with the 2007 Plan and the 1997 Program, the “Sprint Plans”) that T-Mobile assumed in connection with the closing of the Merger.

We recognized Merger-related costs of $143 million and $113 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These costs generally included consulting and legal fees and were recognized as Selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Payments for Merger-related costs were $161 million and $34 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and were recognized within Net cash provided by operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Financing

In connection with the entry into the Business Combination Agreement, T-Mobile USA, Inc. (“T-Mobile USA”) entered into a commitment letter, dated as of April 29, 2018 (as amended and restated on May 15, 2018 and on September 6, 2019, the
11

“Commitment Letter”). The funding of the debt facilities provided for in the Commitment Letter was subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein, including consummation of the Merger. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we drew down on our $19.0 billion New Secured Bridge Loan Facility and our $4.0 billion New Secured Term Loan Facility (each as defined below). We used the net proceeds from the draw down of the secured facilities to refinance certain existing debt of us, Sprint and our and Sprint’s respective subsidiaries and for post-closing general corporate purposes of the combined company. See Note 7 – Debt for further information.

In connection with the financing provided for in the Commitment Letter, we incurred certain fees payable to the financial institutions. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we paid $355 million in Commitment Letter fees to certain financial institutions, of which $30 million were accrued for as of March 31, 2020, and were recognized in Selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. See Note 7 – Debt for further information.

In connection with the entry into the Business Combination Agreement, DT and T-Mobile USA entered into a Financing Matters Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2018 (the “Financing Matters Agreement”), pursuant to which DT agreed, among other things, to consent to, subject to certain conditions, certain amendments to certain existing debt owed to DT, in connection with the Merger. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we made a payment for requisite consents to DT of $13 million. There was no consent payment accrued as of March 31, 2020. See Note 7 – Debt for further information.

On May 18, 2018, under the terms and conditions described in the Consent Solicitation Statement dated as of May 14, 2018 (the "Consent Solicitation Statement"), we obtained consents necessary to effect certain amendments to certain existing debt of us and our subsidiaries. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we made payments for requisite consents to third-party note holders of $95 million. There were no consent payments accrued as of March 31, 2020. See Note 7 – Debt for further information.

Regulatory Matters

On June 18, 2018, we filed a Public Interest Statement and applications for approval of the Merger with the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”). On July 18, 2018, the FCC issued a Public Notice formally accepting our applications and establishing a period for public comment. On May 20, 2019, to facilitate the FCC’s review and approval of the FCC license transfers associated with the proposed Merger, we and Sprint filed with the FCC a written ex parte presentation (the “Presentation”) relating to the proposed Merger. The Presentation included proposed commitments from us and Sprint. The FCC approved the Merger on November 5, 2019.

On June 11, 2019, a number of state attorneys general filed a lawsuit against us, DT, Sprint, and SoftBank in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that the Merger, if consummated, would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act and so should be enjoined. In connection with the lawsuit, we settled with certain state attorneys general by making commitments regarding our operations, employment and network capabilities in those states. See Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies for further information. On February 11, 2020, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York issued judgment in favor of us, Sprint, and the other defendants, concluding the Merger was not reasonably likely to reduce competition, and denying the plaintiffs’ request to enjoin the Merger.

On July 26, 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) filed a complaint and a proposed final judgment (the “Consent Decree”) agreed to by us, DT, Sprint, SoftBank and DISH Network Corporation (“DISH”) with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The Consent Decree, which was approved by the Court on April 1, 2020, fully resolved the DOJ’s investigation into the Merger and requires the parties to, among other things, carry out the divestitures to be made pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement described below upon closing of the Merger.

On April 16, 2020, the California Public Utilities Commission voted unanimously to approve the Merger of our and Sprint’s operations within the state of California with several conditions, including requirements for faster speeds, broader coverage, job creation, and offerings for low-income customers.

Prepaid Transaction

On July 26, 2019, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Sprint and DISH. We and Sprint are collectively referred to as the “Sellers.” Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, following the consummation of the Merger, DISH will acquire Sprint’s prepaid wireless business, currently operated under the Boost Mobile and Sprint prepaid brands (excluding the Assurance brand Lifeline customers and the prepaid wireless customers of Shenandoah Telecommunications Company and Swiftel Communications, Inc.), including customer accounts, inventory, contracts, intellectual property and certain other specified assets (the “Prepaid Business”), and will assume certain related liabilities (the “Prepaid Transaction”). DISH will pay the Sellers $1.4 billion for the Prepaid Business, subject to a working capital adjustment. The consummation of the Prepaid Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the middle of 2020.

At the closing of the Prepaid Transaction, the Sellers and DISH will enter into (i) a License Purchase Agreement pursuant to which (a) the Sellers will sell certain 800 MHz spectrum licenses held by Sprint to DISH for a total of approximately $3.6 billion in a transaction to be completed, subject to certain additional closing conditions, following an application for FCC approval to be filed three years following the closing of the Merger and (b) the Sellers will have the option to lease back from DISH, as needed, a portion of the spectrum sold for an additional two years following the closing of the spectrum sale transaction, (ii) a Transition Services Agreement providing for the Sellers’ provision of transition services to DISH in connection with the Prepaid Business for a period of up to three years following the closing of the Prepaid Transaction, (iii) a Master Network Services Agreement providing for the Sellers’ provision of network services to customers of the Prepaid Business for a period of up to seven years following the closing of the Prepaid Transaction, and (iv) an Option to Acquire Tower and Retail Assets offering DISH the option to acquire certain decommissioned towers and retail locations from the Sellers, subject to obtaining all necessary third-party consents, for a period of up to five years following the closing of the Prepaid Transaction.

Note 3 – Receivables and Expected Credit Losses

Our portfolio of receivables is comprised of two portfolio segments: accounts receivable and EIP receivables.

Accounts Receivable Portfolio Segment

Our accounts receivable segment primarily consists of amounts currently due from customers, including service and leased device receivables, handset insurance administrators, wholesale partners, other carriers and third-party retail channels.

We estimate expected credit losses associated with our accounts receivable portfolio using an aging schedule methodology that utilizes historical information and current conditions to develop expected credit losses by aging bucket, including for receivables that are not past due.

To determine the appropriate credit loss percentages by aging bucket, we consider a number of factors, including our overall historical credit losses, net of recoveries and timely payment experience as well as current collection trends such as write-off frequency and severity, credit quality of the customer base, and other qualitative factors such as macro-economic conditions, including an expected economic slowdown or recession as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We consider the need to adjust our estimate of expected credit losses for reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. To do so, we monitor professional forecasts of changes in real U.S. gross domestic product and forecasts of consumer credit behavior for comparable credit exposures. We also periodically evaluate other economic indicators such as unemployment rates to assess their level of correlation with our historical credit loss statistics.

EIP Receivables Portfolio Segment

Based upon customer credit profiles, we classify the EIP receivables segment into two customer classes of “Prime” and “Subprime.” Prime customer receivables are those with lower credit risk and Subprime customer receivables are those with higher credit risk. Customers may be required to make a down payment on their equipment purchases. In addition, certain customers within the Subprime category are required to pay an advance deposit.

To determine a customer’s credit profile, we use a proprietary credit scoring model that measures the credit quality of a customer using several factors, such as credit bureau information, consumer credit risk scores and service and device plan characteristics.

The following table summarizes the EIP receivables, including imputed discounts and related allowance for credit losses:

Equipment installment plan receivables due after one year, net of allowance for credit losses and imputed discount 1,367    1,583   
EIP receivables, net of allowance for credit losses and imputed discount $ 3,773    $ 4,183   
(1) Allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2020, was impacted by the cumulative effect of initially applying the new credit loss standard on our receivables portfolio on January 1, 2020, of $91 million.

We manage our EIP receivables portfolio using delinquency and customer credit class as key credit quality indicators. The following table presents the amortized cost of our EIP receivables by delinquency status, customer credit class, and year of origination. As a part of the adoption of the new credit loss standard, we now disclose our EIP receivables portfolio disaggregated by origination year. The information is updated as of March 31, 2020.

We estimate expected credit losses on our EIP receivables by using historical data adjusted for current conditions to calculate default probabilities for our outstanding EIP loans. We consider various risk characteristics when calculating default probabilities, such as how long such loans have been outstanding, customer credit ratings, customer tenure, delinquency status and other correlated variables identified through statistical analyses. We multiply these estimated default probabilities by our estimated loss given default, which considers recoveries.

As we do for our accounts receivable portfolio segment, we consider the need to adjust our estimate of expected losses on EIP receivables for reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions through monitoring of external professional forecasts and periodic internal statistical analyses, including the impact from an expected economic slowdown or recession as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The EIP receivables had weighted average effective imputed interest rates of 8.8% as of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Activity for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, in the allowance for credit losses and unamortized imputed discount balances for the accounts receivable and EIP receivables segments were as follows:

Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Exposures

We do not have material, unmitigated off-balance-sheet credit exposures as of March 31, 2020. In connection with the sales of certain service and EIP accounts receivable pursuant to the sale arrangements, we have deferred purchase price assets included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets measured at fair value that are based on a discounted cash flow model using unobservable Level 3 inputs, including customer default rates and credit worthiness, dilutions and recoveries. See Note 4 – Sales of Certain Receivables for further information.

Note 4 – Sales of Certain Receivables

We have entered into transactions to sell certain service and EIP receivables. The transactions, including our continuing involvement with the sold receivables and the respective impacts to our condensed consolidated financial statements, are described below.

Sales of Service Accounts Receivable

Overview of the Transaction

In 2014, we entered into an arrangement to sell certain service accounts receivable on a revolving basis (the “service receivable sale arrangement”). The maximum funding commitment of the service receivable sale arrangement is $950 million. In February 2019, the service receivable sale arrangement was amended to extend the scheduled expiration date, as well as certain third-party credit support under the arrangement, to March 2021. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the service receivable sale arrangement provided funding of $895 million and $924 million, respectively. Sales of receivables occur daily and are settled on a monthly basis. The receivables consist of service charges currently due from customers and are short-term in nature.

In connection with the service receivable sale arrangement, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, which qualifies as a bankruptcy remote entity, to sell service accounts receivable (the “Service BRE”). The Service BRE does not qualify as a VIE, and due to the significant level of control we exercise over the entity, it is consolidated. Pursuant to the service receivable sale arrangement, certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries transfer selected receivables to the Service BRE. The Service BRE then sells the receivables to an unaffiliated entity (the “Service VIE”), which was established to facilitate the sale of beneficial ownership interests in the receivables to certain third parties.

15

Variable Interest Entity

We determined that the Service VIE qualifies as a VIE as it lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities. We have a variable interest in the Service VIE but are not the primary beneficiary as we lack the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Service VIE’s economic performance. Those activities include committing the Service VIE to legal agreements to purchase or sell assets, selecting which receivables are purchased in the service receivable sale arrangement, determining whether the Service VIE will sell interests in the purchased service receivables to other parties, funding of the entity and servicing of receivables. We do not hold the power to direct the key decisions underlying these activities. For example, while we act as the servicer of the sold receivables, which is considered a significant activity of the Service VIE, we are acting as an agent in our capacity as the servicer, and the counterparty to the service receivable sale arrangement has the ability to remove us as the servicing agent of the receivables at will with no recourse available to us. As we have determined we are not the primary beneficiary, the balances and results of the Service VIE are not included in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and classification of assets, which consists primarily of the deferred purchase price and liabilities included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that relate to our variable interest in the Service VIE:
(in millions) March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019
Other current assets $ 353    $ 350   
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 54    25   
Other current liabilities 355    342   

Sales of EIP Receivables

Overview of the Transaction

In 2015, we entered into an arrangement to sell certain EIP accounts receivable on a revolving basis (the “EIP sale arrangement”). The maximum funding commitment of the EIP sale arrangement is $1.3 billion, and the scheduled expiration date is November 2020. In February 2020, we amended the EIP sale arrangement to provide for an alternative advance rate methodology for the EIP accounts receivables sold in the EIP sale arrangement and to make certain other administrative changes.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 30, 2020, we agreed with the purchaser banks to update our collection policies to temporarily allow for flexibility for modifications to the accounts receivable sold that are impacted by COVID-19 and exclusion of such accounts receivable from all pool performance triggers.

As of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the EIP sale arrangement provided funding of $1.3 billion. Sales of EIP receivables occur daily and are settled on a monthly basis.

In connection with this EIP sale arrangement, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, which qualifies as a bankruptcy remote entity (the “EIP BRE”). Pursuant to the EIP sale arrangement, our wholly-owned subsidiary transfers selected receivables to the EIP BRE. The EIP BRE then sells the receivables to a non-consolidated and unaffiliated third-party entity for which we do not exercise any level of control, nor does the third-party entity qualify as a VIE.

Variable Interest Entity

We determined that the EIP BRE is a VIE as its equity investment at risk lacks the obligation to absorb a certain portion of its expected losses. We have a variable interest in the EIP BRE and determined that we are the primary beneficiary based on our ability to direct the activities which most significantly impact the EIP BRE’s economic performance. Those activities include selecting which receivables are transferred into the EIP BRE and sold in the EIP sale arrangement and funding of the EIP BRE. Additionally, our equity interest in the EIP BRE obligates us to absorb losses and gives us the right to receive benefits from the EIP BRE that could potentially be significant to the EIP BRE. Accordingly, we include the balances and results of operations of the EIP BRE in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

16

The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and classification of assets, which consists primarily of the deferred purchase price, and liabilities included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that relate to the EIP BRE:
(in millions) March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019
Other current assets $ 335    $ 344   
Other assets 92    89   
Other long-term liabilities   18   

In addition, the EIP BRE is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, prior to any liquidation of the EIP BRE, to be satisfied prior to any value in the EIP BRE becoming available to us. Accordingly, the assets of the EIP BRE may not be used to settle our general obligations and creditors of the EIP BRE have limited recourse to our general credit.

Sales of Receivables

The transfers of service receivables and EIP receivables to the non-consolidated entities are accounted for as sales of financial assets. Once identified for sale, the receivable is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. Upon sale, we derecognize the net carrying amount of the receivables.

We recognize the cash proceeds received upon sale in Net cash provided by operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We recognize proceeds net of the deferred purchase price, consisting of a receivable from the purchasers that entitles us to certain collections on the receivables. We recognize the collection of the deferred purchase price in Net cash used in investing activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as Proceeds related to beneficial interests in securitization transactions.

The deferred purchase price represents a financial asset that is primarily tied to the creditworthiness of the customers and which can be settled in such a way that we may not recover substantially all of our recorded investment, due to default by the customers on the underlying receivables. We elected, at inception, to measure the deferred purchase price at fair value with changes in fair value included in Selling, general and administrative expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The fair value of the deferred purchase price is determined based on a discounted cash flow model which uses primarily unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs), including customer default rates. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our deferred purchase price related to the sales of service receivables and EIP receivables was $779 million and $781 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the impact of the sale of certain service receivables and EIP receivables in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:
(in millions) March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019
Derecognized net service receivables and EIP receivables $ 2,545    $ 2,584   
Other current assets 688    694   
of which, deferred purchase price 687    692   
Other long-term assets 92    89   
of which, deferred purchase price 92    89   
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 54    25   
Other current liabilities 355    342   
Other long-term liabilities   18   
Net cash proceeds since inception 1,939    1,944   
Of which:
Change in net cash proceeds during the year-to-date period (5)   65   
Net cash proceeds funded by reinvested collections 1,944    1,879   

We recognized losses from sales of receivables, including adjustments to the receivables’ fair values and changes in fair value of the deferred purchase price, of $25 million and $35 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in Selling, general and administrative expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Continuing Involvement

Pursuant to the sale arrangements described above, we have continuing involvement with the service receivables and EIP receivables we sell as we service the receivables and are required to repurchase certain receivables, including ineligible
17

receivables, aged receivables and receivables where write-off is imminent. We continue to service the customers and their related receivables, including facilitating customer payment collection, in exchange for a monthly servicing fee. As the receivables are sold on a revolving basis, the customer payment collections on sold receivables may be reinvested in new receivable sales. At the direction of the purchasers of the sold receivables, we apply the same policies and procedures while servicing the sold receivables as we apply to our owned receivables, and we continue to maintain normal relationships with our customers. Pursuant to the EIP sale arrangement, under certain circumstances, we are required to deposit cash or replacement EIP receivables primarily for contracts terminated by customers under our JUMP! Program.

In addition, we have continuing involvement with the sold receivables as we may be responsible for absorbing additional credit losses pursuant to the sale arrangements. Our maximum exposure to loss related to the involvement with the service receivables and EIP receivables sold under the sale arrangements was $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2020. The maximum exposure to loss, which is a required disclosure under U.S. GAAP, represents an estimated loss that would be incurred under severe, hypothetical circumstances whereby we would not receive the deferred purchase price portion of the contractual proceeds withheld by the purchasers and would also be required to repurchase the maximum amount of receivables pursuant to the sale arrangements without consideration for any recovery. We believe the probability of these circumstances occurring is remote and the maximum exposure to loss is not an indication of our expected loss.

Note 5 - Spectrum License Transactions

In March 2020, the FCC announced that we were the winning bidder of 2,384 licenses in Auction 103 (37/39 GHz and 47 GHz spectrum bands) for an aggregate price of $873 million, net of an incentive payment of $59 million. At the inception of Auction 103 in October 2019, we deposited $82 million with the FCC. Upon conclusion of Auction 103 in March 2020, we made a down payment of $93 million for the purchase price of the licenses won in the auction.

The deposit and down payment are included in Other current assets as of March 31, 2020, in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash payments to acquire spectrum licenses and payments for costs to clear spectrum are included in Purchases of spectrum licenses and other intangible assets, including deposits in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 8, 2020, we paid the FCC the remaining $698 million of the purchase price for the licenses won in the auction.

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable, Accounts receivable from affiliates, Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, borrowings under vendor financing arrangements with our primary network equipment suppliers, and borrowings under our revolving credit facility with DT, our majority stockholder, approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest rate lock derivatives
Periodically, we use derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, such as interest rate risk. We designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship (cash flow hedge) to help minimize significant, unplanned fluctuations in cash flows caused by interest rate volatility. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
We record interest rate lock derivatives on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value that is derived primarily from observable market data, including yield curves. Interest rate lock derivatives were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Cash flows associated with qualifying hedge derivative instruments are presented in the same category on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the item being hedged.
In October 2018, we entered into interest rate lock derivatives with notional amounts of $9.6 billion. The fair value of interest rate lock derivatives was a liability of $2.3 billion and $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and was included in Other current liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, no amounts were accrued or amortized into Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Aggregate changes in fair value, net of tax, of $1.7 billion and $868 million are presented in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
18

In November 2019, we extended the mandatory termination date on our interest rate lock derivatives to June 3, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we made net collateral transfers to certain of our derivative counterparties totaling $580 million, which included variation margin transfers to (or from) such derivative counterparties based on daily market movements. These collateral transfers are included in Other current assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and in Net cash related to derivative contracts under collateral exchange arrangements within Net cash used in investing activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
In March 2020, we received floating rate payments from our derivative counterparties totaling $46 million. These floating rate payments were recognized as an increase to the interest rate lock derivatives liability included in Other current liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and in changes in Other current and long-term liabilities within Net cash provided by operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Subsequent to March 31, 2020, during April 2 to April 6, 2020, in connection with the issuance of senior secured notes, we terminated our interest rate lock derivatives. See Note 7 - Debt for further information regarding the issuance of senior secured notes. At the time of termination, the interest rate lock derivatives were a liability of $2.3 billion, $1.2 billion of which was cash-collateralized. Consequently, the net cash out flow required to settle the interest rate lock derivatives was an additional $1.1 billion and was paid at termination. Total cash payments to settle the swaps of $2.3 billion will be presented in changes in Other current and long-term liabilities within Net cash provided by operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The return of cash collateral of $1.2 billion will be presented as an inflow in Net cash related to derivative contracts under collateral exchange arrangements within Net cash used in investing activities.
Deferred Purchase Price Assets
In connection with the sales of certain service and EIP accounts receivable pursuant to the sale arrangements, we have deferred purchase price assets measured at fair value that are based on a discounted cash flow model using unobservable Level 3 inputs, including customer default rates. See Note 4 – Sales of Certain Receivables for further information.

The carrying amounts and fair values of our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:
Level within the Fair Value Hierarchy March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019
(in millions) Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value
Assets:
Deferred purchase price assets 3 $ 779    $ 779    $ 781    $ 781   

Long-term Debt

The fair value of our Senior Notes to third parties was determined based on quoted market prices in active markets, and therefore was classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of our Senior Notes to affiliates and Incremental Term Loan Facility to affiliates were determined based on a discounted cash flow approach using market interest rates of instruments with similar terms and maturities and an estimate for our standalone credit risk. Accordingly, our Senior Notes to affiliates and Incremental Term Loan Facility to affiliates were classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Although we have determined the estimated fair values using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies, considerable judgment was required in interpreting market data to develop fair value estimates for the Senior Notes to affiliates and Incremental Term Loan Facility to affiliates. The fair value estimates were based on information available as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019. As such, our estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amount we could realize in a current market exchange. As of March 31, 2020, the carrying value of the Incremental Term Loan Facility to affiliates, $2.0 billion of 5.300% Senior Notes to affiliates due 2021 and $2.0 billion of 6.000% Senior Notes to Affiliates due 2024 equated the fair value as the debt was repaid at par value on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger.

19

The carrying amounts and fair values of our short-term and long-term debt included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:
Level within the Fair Value Hierarchy March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019
(in millions) Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value
Liabilities:
Senior Notes to third parties 1 $ 10,959    $ 11,325    $ 10,958    $ 11,479   
Senior Notes to affiliates 2 9,987    10,184    9,986    10,366   
Incremental Term Loan Facility to affiliates 2 4,000    4,000    4,000    4,000   

Guarantee Liabilities

We offer a device trade-in program, JUMP!, which provides eligible customers a specified-price trade-in right to upgrade their device. For customers who enroll in JUMP!, we recognize a liability and reduce revenue for the portion of revenue which represents the estimated fair value of the specified-price trade-in right guarantee, incorporating the expected probability and timing of handset upgrade and the estimated fair value of the handset which is returned. Accordingly, our guarantee liabilities were classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. When customers upgrade their device, the difference between the EIP balance credit to the customer and the fair value of the returned device is recorded against the guarantee liabilities. Guarantee liabilities are included in Other current liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The carrying amounts of our guarantee liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were $59 million and $62 million as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The total estimated remaining gross EIP receivable balances of all enrolled handset upgrade program customers, which are the remaining EIP amounts underlying the JUMP! guarantee, including EIP receivables that have been sold, was $2.9 billion as of March 31, 2020. This is not an indication of our expected loss exposure as it does not consider the expected fair value of the used handset or the probability and timing of the trade-in.

Note 7 – Debt

Commitment Letter

In connection with the entry into the Business Combination Agreement, T-Mobile USA entered into the Commitment Letter, with certain financial institutions named therein that committed to provide up to $27.0 billion in secured debt financing through May 1, 2020, including a $4.0 billion secured revolving credit facility, a $4.0 billion secured term loan facility, and a $19.0 billion secured bridge loan facility. The funding of the debt facilities provided for in the Commitment Letter was subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein, including consummation of the Merger.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, T-Mobile USA and certain of its affiliates, as guarantors, entered into a Bridge Loan Credit Agreement (the “Bridge Loan Credit Agreement”) with certain financial institutions named therein, providing for a $19.0 billion secured bridge loan facility (“New Secured Bridge Loan Facility”). The New Secured Bridge Loan Facility bears interest at a rate equal to a per annum rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 1.25% and matures on March 31, 2021.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, T-Mobile USA and certain of its affiliates, as guarantors, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with certain financial institutions named therein, providing for a $4.0 billion secured term loan facility (“New Secured Term Loan Facility”) and a $4.0 billion revolving credit facility (“New Revolving Credit Facility”). The New Secured Term Loan Facility bears interest at a rate equal to a per annum rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 3.00% and matures on April 1, 2027. The New Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate equal to a per annum rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 1.25% with the margin subject to a reduction to 1.00% if T-Mobile’s Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) is less than or equal to 0.75 to 1.00. The commitments under the New Revolving Credit Facility mature on April 1, 2025. The New Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including a financial maintenance covenant of 3.3x with respect to T-Mobile’s Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and excess cash flow prepayment requirements commencing in 2021.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we drew down on our $19.0 billion New Secured Bridge Loan Facility and our $4.0 billion New Secured Term Loan Facility. We used the net proceeds of $22.6 billion from the draw down of the secured facilities to repay our $4.0 billion Incremental Term Loan Facility with DT and to repurchase from DT $4.0 billion of indebtedness to affiliates, consisting of $2.0 billion of 5.300% Senior Notes due 2021
20

and $2.0 billion of 6.000% Senior Notes due 2024, as well as to redeem certain debt of Sprint and Sprint’s subsidiaries, including the secured term loans due 2024 with a total principal amount outstanding of $5.9 billion, accounts receivable facility with a total amount outstanding of $2.3 billion, and Sprint Corporation 7.250% Guaranteed Notes due 2028 with a total principal amount outstanding of $1.0 billion, and for post-closing general corporate purposes of the combined company.

In connection with the financing provided for in the Commitment Letter, we incurred certain fees payable to the financial institutions, including certain financing fees on the secured term loan commitment and fees for structuring, funding, and providing the commitments. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we paid $355 million in Commitment Letter fees to certain financial institutions, of which $30 million were accrued for as of March 31, 2020, and were recognized in Selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 9, 2020, T-Mobile USA and certain of its affiliates, as guarantors, issued $3.0 billion of 3.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2025, $4.0 billion of 3.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2027, $7.0 billion of 3.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2030, $2.0 billion of 4.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2040, and $3.0 billion of 4.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2050 and used the net proceeds of $18.8 billion together with cash on hand to repay at par all of the outstanding amounts under, and terminate, our $19.0 billion New Secured Bridge Loan Facility. Additionally, in connection with the repayment of our New Secured Bridge Loan Facility, we received a reimbursement of $71 million, which represents a portion of the Commitment Letter fees that were paid to certain financial institutions when we drew down on the New Secured Bridge Loan Facility on April 1, 2020.

Financing Matters Agreement

Pursuant to the Financing Matters Agreement, DT agreed, among other things, to consent to the incurrence by T-Mobile USA of secured debt in connection with and after the consummation of the Merger, and to provide a lock up on sales thereby as to certain senior notes of T-Mobile USA held thereby. In addition, T-Mobile USA agreed, among other things:

To repay and terminate, upon closing of the Merger, the Incremental Term Loan Facility and the revolving credit facility of T-Mobile USA which are provided by DT;
To repurchase $2.0 billion of 5.300% Senior Notes to affiliates due 2021 and $2.0 billion of 6.000% Senior Notes to affiliates due 2024; and
Upon closing of the Merger, to amend the $1.25 billion of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2025 and $1.25 billion of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2027, which represent indebtedness to affiliates, to change the maturity dates thereof to April 15, 2021 and April 15, 2022, respectively (the “2025 and 2027 Amendments”).

In connection with receiving the requisite consents, we made upfront payments to DT of $7 million during the second quarter of 2018. These payments were recognized as a reduction to Long-term debt to affiliates in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In accordance with the consents received from DT, on December 20, 2018, T-Mobile USA, the guarantors and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, executed and delivered the 38th supplemental indenture to the Indenture, pursuant to which, with respect to certain T-Mobile USA Senior Notes held by DT, the Debt Amendments (as defined below under “Consents on Debt to Third Parties”) and the 2025 and 2027 Amendments would become effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we repaid our $4.0 billion Incremental Term Loan Facility with DT and repurchased from DT $4.0 billion of indebtedness to affiliates, consisting of $2.0 billion of 5.300% Senior Notes due 2021 and $2.0 billion of 6.000% Senior Notes due 2024, as described above, as well as made an additional payment for requisite consents to DT of $13 million. There was no consent payment accrued as of March 31, 2020.
21


Consents on Debt to Third Parties

On May 18, 2018, under the terms and conditions described in the Consent Solicitation Statement, we obtained consents necessary to effect certain amendments to our Senior Notes to third parties in connection with the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Consent Solicitation Statement, third-party note holders agreed, among other things, to consent to increasing the amount of Secured Indebtedness under Credit Facilities that can be incurred from the greater of $9.0 billion and 150% of Consolidated Cash Flow to the greater of $9.0 billion and an amount that would not cause the Secured Debt to Cash Flow Ratio (calculated net of cash and cash equivalents) to exceed 2.00x (the “Ratio Secured Debt Amendments”) and in each case as such capitalized term is defined in the Indenture. In connection with receiving the requisite consents for the Ratio Secured Debt Amendments, we made upfront payments to third-party note holders of $17 million during the second quarter of 2018. These payments were recognized as a reduction to Long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These upfront payments increased the effective interest rate of the related debt.

In addition, note holders agreed, among other things, to allow certain entities related to Sprint’s existing spectrum securitization notes program (“Existing Sprint Spectrum Program”) to be non-guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries, provided that the principal amount of the spectrum notes issued and outstanding under the Existing Sprint Spectrum Program does not exceed $7.0 billion and that the principal amount of such spectrum notes reduces the amount available under the Credit Facilities ratio basket, and to revise the definition of GAAP to mean generally accepted accounting principles in effect from time to time, unless the Company elects to “freeze” GAAP as of any date, and to exclude the effect of the changes in the accounting treatment of lease obligations (the “Existing Sprint Spectrum and GAAP Amendments,” and together with the Ratio Secured Debt Amendments, the “Debt Amendments”). In connection with receiving the requisite consents for the Existing Sprint Spectrum and GAAP Amendments, we made upfront payments to third-party note holders of $14 million during the second quarter of 2018. These payments were recognized as a reduction to Long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These upfront payments increased the effective interest rate of the related debt.

In connection with obtaining the requisite consents, on May 20, 2018, T-Mobile USA, the guarantors and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, executed and delivered the 37th supplemental indenture to the Indenture, pursuant to which, with respect to each of the Notes, the Debt Amendments would become effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger.

We paid third-party bank fees associated with obtaining the requisite consents related to the Debt Amendments of $6 million during the second quarter of 2018, which we recognized as Selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we made additional payments to third-party note holders for requisite consents related to the Ratio Secured Debt Amendments of $54 million and related to the Existing Sprint Spectrum and GAAP Amendments of $41 million. There were no consent payments accrued as of March 31, 2020.

Note 8 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Disaggregation of Revenue

We provide wireless communications services to three primary categories of customers:

Branded postpaid customers generally include customers who are qualified to pay after receiving wireless communications services utilizing phones, wearables, DIGITS, or other connected devices which includes tablets and SyncUP products;
Branded prepaid customers generally include customers who pay for wireless communications services in advance. Our branded prepaid customers include customers of T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile; and
Wholesale customers include Machine-to-Machine and Mobile Virtual Network Operator customers that operate on our network but are managed by wholesale partners.
22


Branded postpaid service revenues, including branded postpaid phone revenues and branded postpaid other revenues, were as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions) 2020 2019
Branded postpaid service revenues
Branded postpaid phone revenues $ 5,577    $ 5,183   
Branded postpaid other revenues 310    310   
Total branded postpaid service revenues $ 5,887    $ 5,493   

We operate as a single operating segment. The balances presented within each revenue line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income represent categories of revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by type of product and service. Service revenues also include revenues earned for providing value added services to customers, such as handset insurance services. Revenue generated from the lease of mobile communication devices is included within Equipment revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Equipment revenues from the lease of mobile communication devices were as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions) 2020 2019
Equipment revenues from the lease of mobile communication devices $ 165    $ 161   

Contract Balances

The opening and closing balances of our contract asset and contract liability balances from contracts with customers as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, were as follows:
(in millions) Contract Assets Contract Liabilities
Balance as of December 31, 2019 $ 63    $ 560   
Balance as of March 31, 2020 59    534   
Change $ (4)   $ (26)  

Contract assets primarily represent revenue recognized for equipment sales with promotional bill credits offered to customers that are paid over time and are contingent on the customer maintaining a service contract. The change in the contract asset balance includes customer activity related to new promotions, offset by billings on existing contracts and impairment which is recognized as bad debt expense. The current portion of our Contract Assets of approximately $45 million and $50 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, was included in Other current assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contract liabilities are recorded when fees are collected, or we have an unconditional right to consideration (a receivable) in advance of delivery of goods or services. The change in contract liabilities is primarily related to the volume and rate plans of active prepaid subscribers. Contract liabilities are included in Deferred revenue in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, include the following:
Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions) 2020 2019
Amounts included in the beginning of year contract liability balance $ 528    $ 560   

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of March 31, 2020, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining service performance obligations for branded postpaid contracts with promotional bill credits that result in an extended service contract is $157 million. We expect to recognize this revenue as service is provided over the extended contract term in the next 24 months.

Certain of our wholesale, roaming and other service contracts include variable consideration based on usage. This variable consideration has been excluded from the disclosure of remaining performance obligations. As of March 31, 2020, the aggregate amount of the contractual minimum consideration for wholesale, roaming and other service contracts is $998 million,
23

$1.0 billion and $917 million for 2021, 2022 and 2023 and beyond, respectively. These contracts have a remaining duration ranging from less than one year to ten years.

Information about remaining performance obligations that are part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less have been excluded from the above, which primarily consists of monthly service contracts.

Contract Costs

The total balance of deferred incremental costs to obtain contracts was $887 million and $906 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Deferred contract costs incurred to obtain postpaid service contracts are amortized over a period of 24 months. The amortization period is monitored to reflect any significant change in assumptions. Amortization of deferred contract costs is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and was $205 million and $116 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The deferred contract cost asset is assessed for impairment on a periodic basis. There were no impairment losses recognized on deferred contract cost assets for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Lessor

JUMP! On Demand allows customers to lease a device (handset or tablet) over a period of 18 months and upgrade it for a new device up to one time per month. Upon device upgrade or at lease end, customers must return or purchase their device. The purchase price at the expiration of the lease is established at lease commencement and reflects the estimated residual value of the device, which reflects the estimated fair value of the underlying asset at the end of the lease term. The JUMP! On Demand leases do not contain any residual value guarantees or variable lease payments, and there are no restrictions or covenants imposed by these leases. Leased wireless devices are included in Property and equipment, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The components of leased wireless devices under our JUMP! On Demand program were as follows:
(in millions) March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019
Leased wireless devices, gross $ 1,223    $ 1,139

Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

Interest rate lock derivatives

We have entered into interest rate lock derivatives with notional amounts of $9.6 billion. These interest rate lock derivatives were designated as cash flow hedges to reduce variability in cash flows due to changes in interest payments attributable to increases or decreases in the benchmark interest rate during the period leading up to the probable issuance of fixed-rate debt. The fair value of interest rate lock derivatives as of March 31, 2020, was a liability of $2.3 billion and was included in Other current liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, during April 2 to April 6, 2020, in connection with the issuance of senior secured notes, we terminated our interest rate lock derivatives. See Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements for further information.

Merger Commitments
The contractual commitments and purchase obligations of Sprint were assumed upon the completion of the Merger. These contractual commitments and purchase obligations are primarily commitments to purchase wireless devices, network services, equipment, software, marketing sponsorship agreements and other items in the ordinary course of business.

Due to the limited time since the acquisition date and restrictions on access to Sprint information arising from antitrust considerations prior to the closing of the Merger, quantification and assessment of commitments and obligations under the assumed contracts is not yet complete.

In connection with the regulatory proceedings and approvals of the Transactions, we made commitments to various state and federal agencies, including the DOJ and FCC. These commitments include, among other things, extensive 5G network build-out commitments, obligations to deliver high-speed wireless services to the vast majority of Americans, including Americans residing in rural areas, and the marketing of an in-home broadband product where spectrum capacity is available. Other commitments relate to national security, pricing, service and device availability to specified percentages of certain state populations, employment and support of diversity initiatives. Many of the commitments specify time frames for compliance. Failure to fulfill our obligations under these commitments in a timely manner could result in substantial fines, penalties, or other legal and administrative actions.

26

Contingencies and Litigation

Litigation Matters

On February 28, 2020, we received a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture and Admonishment from the FCC (“FCC NAL”), which proposed a penalty against us for allegedly violating section 222 of the Communications Act and the FCC’s regulations governing the privacy of customer information. We recorded an accrual for an estimated payment amount as of March 31, 2020, which was included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We are involved in various lawsuits and disputes, claims, government agency investigations and enforcement actions, and other proceedings (“Litigation Matters”) that arise in the ordinary course of business, which include claims of patent infringement (most of which are asserted by non-practicing entities primarily seeking monetary damages), class actions, and proceedings to enforce FCC rules and regulations. The Litigation Matters described above have progressed to various stages and some of them may proceed to trial, arbitration, hearing or other adjudication that could result in fines, penalties, or awards of monetary or injunctive relief in the coming 12 months if they are not otherwise resolved. We have established an accrual with respect to certain of these matters, where appropriate, which is reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements but that is not considered to be, individually or in the aggregate, material. An accrual is established when we believe it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and an amount can be reasonably estimated. For other matters, where we have not determined that a loss is probable or because the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, we have not recorded an accrual due to various factors typical in contested proceedings, including but not limited to uncertainty concerning legal theories and their resolution by courts or regulators, uncertain damage theories and demands, and a less than fully developed factual record. While we do not expect that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, an unfavorable outcome of some or all of these proceedings could have a material adverse impact on results of operations or cash flows for a particular period. This assessment is based on our current understanding of relevant facts and circumstances. As such, our view of these matters is subject to inherent uncertainties and may change in the future.

Note 12 – Subsequent Events

On April 1, 2020, we closed on the Merger to combine T-Mobile and Sprint pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement dated April 29, 2018. As a result, Sprint became a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary of T-Mobile and we issued 373,396,310 shares of T-Mobile common stock to Sprint shareholders. Subsequently, on April 22, 2020, we filed a Form S-8 to register a total of 25,304,224 shares of common stock, representing those covered by the Sprint Plans that T-Mobile assumed in connection with the closing of the Merger. See Note 2 - Business Combinations for further information.

On April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we drew down on our $19.0 billion New Secured Bridge Loan Facility and our $4.0 billion New Secured Term Loan Facility under the terms of the Bridge Loan Credit Agreement and New Credit Agreement, respectively, with certain financial institutions. We used the net proceeds to redeem certain debt of us, Sprint and our and Sprint’s respective subsidiaries and for post-closing general corporate purposes of the combined company. Subsequently, on April 9, 2020, we repaid our $19.0 billion New Secured Bridge Loan Facility with the net proceeds of an offering of senior secured notes together with cash on hand. See Note 7 - Debt for further information. During April 2 to April 6, 2020, in connection with the issuance of senior secured notes, we terminated our interest rate lock derivatives. See Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements for further information.

On April 8, 2020, we paid the FCC the remaining $698 million of the purchase price for the 2,384 licenses won in Auction 103 (37/39 GHz and 47 GHz spectrum bands). See Note 5 - Spectrum License Transactions for further information.

On April 16, 2020, the California Public Utilities Commission voted unanimously to approve the merger of our and Sprint’s operations within the state of California. See Note 2 - Business Combinations for further information.

On April 30, 2020, we agreed with the purchaser banks to update our collection policies to temporarily allow for flexibility for modifications to the accounts receivable sold that are impacted by COVID-19 and exclusion of such accounts receivable from all pool performance triggers. See Note 4 - Sales of Certain Receivables for further information.

In April, we extended our commitment to the FCC’s Keep Americans Connected Pledge to June 30, 2020.

Business Overview

Sprint Transactions

On April 1, 2020, we closed on the Merger to combine T-Mobile and Sprint, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement dated, April 29, 2018. Immediately following the Merger and the surrender of the SoftBank Specified Shares Amount pursuant to the Letter Agreement (each as defined in Note 2 - Business Combinations of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), Deutsche Telekom AG (“DT”) and SoftBank Group Corp. (“SoftBank”) held, directly or indirectly, approximately 43.6% and 24.7%, respectively, of the outstanding T-Mobile common stock, with the remaining approximately 31.7% of the outstanding T-Mobile common stock held by other stockholders.

For more information regarding our Business Combination Agreement, see Note 2 – Business Combinations of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Debt Transactions

On April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we drew down on our $19.0 billion bridge loan facility and $4.0 billion term loan facility. We used the net proceeds to repay certain of our indebtedness to DT and redeem certain debt of Sprint and its subsidiaries.

On April 9, 2020, we issued senior notes in an aggregate amount of $19.0 billion. We used the proceeds to repay the bridge loan facility.

For more information regarding our debt transactions, see Note 7 - Debt of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected businesses, economies, and financial markets worldwide, and has caused significant volatility in the U.S. and international debt and equity markets. The impact of COVID-19 has been wide-ranging, including, but not limited to, the temporary closures of many businesses, “shelter in place” orders, travel restrictions, social distancing guidelines and other governmental, business and individual actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These restrictions have impacted, and will continue to impact, our business, including the demand for our products and services and the ways in which our customers use them. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in economic uncertainty and a significant increase in unemployment in the United States, which could affect our customers’ purchasing decisions and ability to make timely payments.

As a critical communications infrastructure provider as designated by the government, our focus has been on ensuring the safety and well-being of our employees while providing crucial connectivity to our customers and impacted communities.

Our Response

We have taken a variety of steps to protect the health and well-being of our workforce and customers to help mitigate the impact of COVID-19:

To Protect and Support Our Employees

Before the merger, in mid-March, approximately 80% of T-Mobile and 70% of Sprint company-owned store locations, as well as many third-party retailer locations, which sell our T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile and Sprint brands, were closed. In compliance with the regulations of various states, we have since reopened a number of our previously closed stores;
We supplemented pay for certain of our employees and commissions for third-party dealers impacted by COVID-19 and provided access to incremental paid time off for employees experiencing symptoms, taking care of children who were home due to school closures or caring for individuals impacted by COVID-19;
We implemented remote working arrangements for many employees with more than 14,000 T-Mobile and Sprint internal care employees and over 29,000 T-Mobile and Sprint global care employees transitioned to a work-from-home environment as of May 1, 2020 and we encouraged our corporate and administrative employees to work remotely if possible; and
To keep our employees safe, we perform incremental deep cleaning and keep additional hygiene and cleaning products stocked in the stores that remain open and we are endeavoring to follow the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization and other authorities and health officials.

To Keep Our Customers Connected

We are committed to the FCC’s Keep Americans Connected pledge, which we’ve extended to June 30, 2020. We pledged to:
Not terminate service to any residential or small business customers because of their inability to pay their bills due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; and
Waive any late fees that any residential or small business customers incur because of their economic circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We also took additional temporary steps to ensure that all current T-Mobile customers that have data plans are provided the connectivity they need to learn and work remotely during the pandemic, including:
Providing unlimited high-speed smartphone data to current customers as of March 13, 2020 who have legacy plans without unlimited high-speed data (excluding roaming) through June 30, 2020;
Giving T-Mobile postpaid and Metro by T-Mobile customers on smartphone plans with mobile hotspot data the ability to add 10GB of Smartphone Mobile HotSpot each month (20GB total) through June 30, 2020;
Working with our Lifeline partners to provide customers up to 5GB per month of free data through June 30, 2020;
31

Table of Contents
Increasing the data allowance, at no extra charge, to schools and students using our EmpowerED digital learning program to ensure each participant has access to at least 20GB of data per month through June 30, 2020; and
Providing free international calling to landlines (and in many cases mobile numbers) to countries that were significantly impacted by COVID-19 through May 13, 2020.
We launched T-Mobile Connect, a new, competitive $15 per month prepaid option, in March 2020, ahead of schedule to provide a reliable, low-cost connection for many Americans facing financial strain.
We partnered with multiple spectrum holders and the FCC to successfully deploy additional 600 MHz spectrum on a temporary basis, effectively doubling total 600 MHz LTE capacity across the nation to help ensure customers can stay connected during this critical time; and
We are committed to keeping our network fully operational as an essential service to first responders, 911 communications and our customers and have continued to expand our 5G network while adhering to all governmental guidelines.

We continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts and may adjust our steps as needed to meet the needs of our employees and customers and to continue to provide our products and services.

Impact on Results of Operations and Performance Measures for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred $117 million, before taxes, in supplemental employee payroll, third-party commissions and cleaning-related COVID-19 costs, which are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Substantially all of these costs were incurred during March, as COVID-19 had a minimal impact on our expenses in January and February. These costs have been excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as they represent direct, incremental costs as a result of our response to COVID-19 that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. See “Adjusted EBITDA” in the “Performance Measures” section of this MD&A.

Additional impacts of COVID-19 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which primarily impacted our results during March, include:
Lower net customer additions due to reduced demand from social distancing rules and retail store closures, which impacted our ability to sell devices and to persuade potential customers to switch to our network during the crisis;
Lower branded postpaid phone and branded prepaid churn due to social distancing rules and retail store closures;
Lower Total service revenues from lower net customer additions and customer concessions as part of our commitments to the FCC’s Keep Americans Connected pledge and other efforts to keep our customers connected;
Lower Equipment revenues and lower Cost of equipment sales due to reduced demand from social distancing rules and retail store closures, which impacted our ability to sell devices; and
Higher bad debt expense due to the recording of estimated losses associated with the adoption of the new credit loss standard and the macro-economic impacts of COVID-19. Late in the first quarter of 2020, we noticed an increase in the number of delinquent payments across our retail and business customers base.

Expected Continued Impact on Results of Operations and Performance Measures

We will continue to monitor developments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and evaluate the appropriate steps we need to take as a business to align with guidelines from state, local and federal government agencies to do what is best for our employees and customers. We expect our business, liquidity, financial condition, and operating results to continue to be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic for the remainder of 2020 and thereafter. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous future developments that we are not able to predict at this time, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, the success of governmental, business and individual actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic, and the impact on economic activity from the pandemic and actions taken in response. Such impacts may include:
Lower net customer additions due to reduced demand from social distancing rules, retail store closures and reduced consumer spending caused by widespread unemployment and other adverse economic effects, partially offset by lower churn;
Lower Equipment revenues and lower Cost of equipment sales from lower device sales due to reduced demand from social distancing rules and retail store closures, which will impact our ability to sell devices;
32

Table of Contents
Higher bad debt expense on our service and EIP receivable portfolios due to adverse macro-economic conditions and payment behavior of customers, including those who have been placed on collection hold as part of our commitment to the FCC’s Keep Americans Connected pledge and a continuation of the trend from late in the first quarter of an elevated number of delinquent payments across our retail and business customers bases. Should these delinquencies continue to grow, our operating and financial results could be negatively impacted;
Continued costs to protect and support our employees and customers, which will increase from the costs incurred during the first quarter of 2020 because COVID-19 primarily impacted costs during the last month of the first quarter;
Higher device insurance fulfillment costs due to a lower supply of returned devices; and
Potential disruptions in our supply chains.

In addition, we are in the process of reevaluating our spending, including for marketing purposes like advertising, capital projects like build-out of our stores, travel, third-party services and certain operating expenses. We have taken actions to adjust our spending given the significant uncertainty around the magnitude and duration of any recessionary impacts arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Results of Operations

Highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019

Total revenues of $11.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were essentially flat, primarily driven by growth in Service revenues, offset by a decrease in Equipment revenues, as further discussed below.

Service revenues of $8.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2020, increased $436 million, or 5%, primarily due to growth in our average branded customer base driven by the continued growth in existing and Greenfield markets, including the growing success of new customer segments and rate plans such as Unlimited 55+, Military, Business and Essentials, partially offset by lower postpaid phone Average Revenue Per User (“ARPU”).

Equipment revenues of $2.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2020, decreased $399 million, or 16%, primarily due to a decrease in the number of devices sold, excluding purchased leased devices, resulting from reduced demand from social distancing rules and store closures arising from COVID-19 and lower average revenue per device sold.

Operating income of $1.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2020, increased $63 million, or 4%, primarily due to higher Service revenues and lower net losses on equipment sales, partially offset by higher Selling, general and administrative, Depreciation and amortization, and Cost of services expenses.

The impact of Merger-related costs, net of tax, was $117 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $93 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, of $3.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2020, increased $381 million, or 12%, primarily due to higher Service revenues and lower net losses on equipment sales, partially offset by higher Cost of services and Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Merger-related and COVID-19-related costs are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. See “Performance Measures” for additional information.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $1.6 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2020, increased $225 million, or 16%. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information.

Guarantor Financial Information

On March 2, 2020, the SEC adopted amendments to the financial disclosure requirements for guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities, as well for affiliates whose securities collateralize a registrant’s securities. We early adopted the requirements of the amendments on January 1, 2020, which included replacing guarantor condensed consolidating financial information with summarized financial information for the consolidated obligor group (Parent, Issuer, and Guarantor Subsidiaries) as well as no longer requiring guarantor cash flow information, financial information for non-guarantor subsidiaries, nor a reconciliation to the consolidated results.

Pursuant to the applicable indentures and supplemental indentures, the long-term debt to affiliates and third parties issued by T-Mobile USA, Inc. (“T-Mobile USA” or “Issuer”) is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by T-Mobile (“Parent”) and certain of the Issuer’s 100% owned subsidiaries (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

The guarantees of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are subject to release in limited circumstances only upon the occurrence of certain
customary conditions. The indentures and credit facilities governing the long-term debt contain covenants that, among other
things, limit the ability of the Issuer and the Guarantor Subsidiaries to incur more debt, pay dividends and make distributions,
make certain investments, repurchase stock, create liens or other encumbrances, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into
transactions that restrict dividends or distributions from subsidiaries, and merge, consolidate or sell, or otherwise dispose of,
substantially all of their assets. Certain provisions of each of the credit facilities, indentures and supplemental indentures
37

Table of Contents
relating to the long-term debt restrict the ability of the Issuer to loan funds or make payments to Parent. However, the Issuer and Guarantor Subsidiaries are allowed to make certain permitted payments to the Parent under the terms of the indentures and the
supplemental indentures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. We early adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 and have applied the standard retrospectively to all periods presented. Upon the adoption of the standard, deferred tax assets of non-guarantor entities in aggregate of $163 million were reclassified and netted with the deferred tax liabilities of the guarantor obligor group. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, certain Guarantor Subsidiaries became Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

The summarized balance sheet information for the consolidated obligor group of debt issued by T-Mobile USA, Inc. is presented in the table below:
(in millions) March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019
Current assets $ 8,431    $ 8,177   
Noncurrent assets 77,827    77,684   
Current liabilities 14,125    11,885   
Noncurrent liabilities 43,156    45,187   
Due from non-guarantors 358    346   
Due to related parties 14,215    14,173   
Due from related parties 26    20   

The summarized results of operations information for the consolidated obligor group of debt issued by T-Mobile USA, Inc. is presented in the table below:
Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Year Ended December 31, 2019
(in millions)
Total revenues $ 10,694    $ 43,431   
Operating income 1,309    4,761   
Net income 951    3,468   
Revenue from non-guarantors 259    974   

Performance Measures

In managing our business and assessing financial performance, we supplement the information provided by our financial statements with other operating or statistical data and non-GAAP financial measures. These operating and financial measures are utilized by our management to evaluate our operating performance and, in certain cases, our ability to meet liquidity requirements. Although companies in the wireless industry may not define each of these measures in precisely the same way, we believe that these measures facilitate comparisons with other companies in the wireless industry on key operating and financial measures.

The performance measures presented here relate to historical periods prior to the Merger and do not include Sprint customer results. On May 1, 2020, we provided preliminary standalone Sprint customer results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Those results were calculated based on the customer reporting policies of Sprint prior to the Merger and thus are not indicative of future results of the combined company. The historical Sprint policies differ from those applied by T-Mobile as a combined company, and the customer results will be materially lower once T-Mobile reporting policies are applied and the Sprint prepaid brands divesture is reflected.

Branded Customers

A customer is generally defined as a SIM number with a unique T-Mobile identifier which is associated with an account that generates revenue. Branded customers generally include customers that are qualified either for postpaid service utilizing phones, wearables, DIGITS or other connected devices which includes tablets and SyncUp products, where they generally pay after receiving service, or prepaid service, where they generally pay in advance. Our branded prepaid customers include customers of T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile.

(1) On July 18, 2019, we entered into an agreement whereby certain T-Mobile branded prepaid products will now be offered and distributed by a current MVNO partner. As a result, we included a base adjustment in the third quarter of 2019 to reduce branded prepaid customers by 616,000.

Total branded customers increased 3,799,000, or 6%, primarily from:

Higher branded postpaid phone customers driven by the growing success of new customer segments and rate plans such as Unlimited 55+, Military, Business and Essentials and continued growth in existing and Greenfield markets, along with promotional activities and lower churn; and
Higher branded postpaid other customers, primarily due to strength in additions from wearables, specifically the Apple Watch, and other connected devices; partially offset by
Lower branded prepaid customers driven primarily by a reduction of 616,000 customers resulting from a base adjustment for certain T-Mobile branded prepaid products now being offered and distributed by a current MVNO partner, partially offset by the continued success of our prepaid brands due to promotional activities and rate plan offers.

(1) On July 18, 2019, we entered into an agreement whereby certain T-Mobile branded prepaid products will now be offered and distributed by a current MVNO partner. As a result, we included a base adjustment in the third quarter of 2019 to reduce branded prepaid customers by 616,000.

Total branded net customer additions decreased 439,000, or 40%, primarily from:

Lower branded postpaid phone net customer additions primarily due to lower gross additions impacted by reduced demand from social distancing rules and retail store closures arising from COVID-19, partially offset by lower churn;
Lower branded prepaid net customer additions primarily due to lower gross additions impacted by reduced demand from social distancing rules and retail store closures arising from COVID-19, partially offset by lower churn; and
Lower branded postpaid other net customer additions primarily due to lower gross additions impacted by reduced demand from social distancing rules and retail store closures arising from COVID-19, partially offset by lower churn.

Churn

Churn represents the number of customers whose service was disconnected as a percentage of the average number of customers during the specified period. The number of customers whose service was disconnected is presented net of customers that subsequently have their service restored within a certain period of time. We believe that churn provides management, investors and analysts with useful information to evaluate customer retention and loyalty.

2020 2019
Branded postpaid phone churn 0.86  % 0.88  % -2 bps
Branded prepaid churn 3.52  % 3.85  % -33 bps

Branded postpaid phone churn decreased two basis points, primarily impacted by the beginning effects of reduced demand from social distancing rules and retail store closures arising from COVID-19.

Branded prepaid churn decreased 33 basis points, primarily due to the continued success of our prepaid brands due to promotional activities and rate plan offers and the beginning effects of reduced demand from social distancing rules and retail store closures arising from COVID-19.

Total Branded Postpaid Accounts

A branded postpaid account is generally defined as a billing account number that generates revenue. Branded postpaid accounts are generally comprised of customers that are qualified for postpaid service utilizing phones, wearables, DIGITS or other connected devices which includes tablets and SyncUp products, where they generally pay after receiving service.

Total branded postpaid customer accounts 15,244    14,234    1,010    %

Total branded postpaid customer accounts increased 1,010,000, or 7%, primarily from the growing success of new customer segments and rate plans, continued growth in existing and Greenfield markets, improvements in network quality, industry-leading customer service and the overall value of our offerings.

Average Revenue Per User

ARPU represents the average monthly service revenue earned from customers. We believe ARPU provides management, investors and analysts with useful information to assess and evaluate our service revenue per customer and assist in forecasting our future service revenues generated from our customer base. Branded postpaid phone ARPU excludes Branded postpaid other customers and related revenues which includes wearables, DIGITS and other connected devices such as tablets and SyncUp products.

Branded Postpaid Phone ARPU

Branded postpaid phone ARPU decreased $0.27, or 1%, primarily due to:

An increase in our promotional activities, including the ongoing growth in our Netflix offering, which totaled $0.59 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and decreased branded postpaid phone ARPU by $0.08 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019;
A reduction in regulatory program revenues from the continued adoption of tax inclusive plans; and
A reduction in certain non-recurring charges including the impact of credits for restore fees, international calls and data usage in connection with our response to COVID-19; partially offset by
A decrease in the discount allocation to branded postpaid phone revenue within contracts that involve a mobile internet line; and
The growing success of new customer segments and rate plans.

Branded Prepaid ARPU

Branded prepaid ARPU increased $0.46, or 1%, primarily due to:

The removal of certain branded prepaid customers associated with products now offered and distributed by a current MVNO partner as those customers had lower ARPU; partially offset by
Dilution from our promotional activities;
A reduction in certain non-recurring charges; and
Growth in our Amazon Prime offering which impacted branded prepaid ARPU by $0.40 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and decreased branded prepaid ARPU by $0.08 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Average Revenue Per Account

Average Revenue per Account (“ARPA”) represents the average monthly branded postpaid service revenue earned per account. We believe branded postpaid ARPA provides management, investors and analysts with useful information to assess and evaluate our branded postpaid service revenue realization and assist in forecasting our future branded postpaid service revenues on a per account basis. We consider branded postpaid ARPA to be indicative of our revenue growth potential given the increase in the average number of branded postpaid phone customers per account and increases in postpaid other customers, including wearables, DIGITS or other connected devices which includes tablets and SyncUp products.

The following table illustrates the calculation of our operating measure ARPA and reconciles this measure to the related service revenues:

Branded postpaid ARPA $ 129.47    $ 129.77    $ (0.30)   —  %

Branded Postpaid ARPA

Branded postpaid ARPA was essentially flat, primarily impacted by:

An increase in average customers per account due to the growing success of wearables, specifically the Apple Watch, and other connected devices; offset by
An increase in our promotional activities, including the ongoing growth in our Netflix offering, which totaled $1.58 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and decreased branded postpaid phone ARPU by $0.23 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019;
A reduction in regulatory program revenues from the continued adoption of tax inclusive plans; and
A reduction in certain non-recurring charges including the impact of credits for restore fees, international calls and data usage in connection with our response to COVID-19.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before Interest expense, net of Interest income, Income tax expense, Depreciation and amortization, non-cash Stock-based compensation and certain income and expenses not reflective of our operating performance. Net income margin represents Net income divided by Service revenues. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by Service revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure utilized by our management to monitor the financial performance of our operations. We use Adjusted EBITDA internally as a measure to evaluate and compensate our personnel and management for their performance, and as a benchmark to evaluate our operating performance in comparison to our competitors. Management believes analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate overall operating performance and facilitate comparisons with other wireless communications services companies because it is indicative of our ongoing operating performance and trends by excluding the impact of interest expense from financing, non-cash depreciation and amortization from capital investments, non-cash stock-based compensation, network decommissioning costs, costs related to the Transactions and incremental costs directly attributable to COVID-19, as they are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance, as well as certain other nonrecurring income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for income from operations, net income or any other measure of financial performance reported in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

The following table illustrates the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to Net income, which we consider to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure:

(1)Stock-based compensation includes payroll tax impacts and may not agree to stock-based compensation expense in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, certain stock-based compensation expenses associated with the Transactions have been included in Merger-related costs.
(2)Other, net may not agree to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income primarily due to certain non-routine operating activities, such as other special items that would not be expected to reoccur or are not reflective of T-Mobile’s ongoing operating performance, and are therefore excluded in Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $381 million, or 12%, primarily due to:

Higher service revenues, as further discussed above; and
Lower net losses on equipment sales; partially offset by
Higher Cost of services expenses; and
Higher Selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding Merger-related costs and supplemental employee payroll, third-party commissions and cleaning-related COVID-19 costs.
The impact from commission costs capitalized and amortized beginning upon the adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018, reduced Adjusted EBITDA by $89 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to three months ended March 31, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations, proceeds from issuance of long-term debt and common stock, financing leases, the sale of certain receivables, financing arrangements of vendor payables which effectively extend payment terms and secured and unsecured revolving credit facilities with DT. In connection with the closing of the Merger on April 1, 2020, we incurred a substantial amount of additional third-party indebtedness which increased our future financial commitments, including aggregate interest payments. Further, the incurrence of additional indebtedness may inhibit our ability to incur new debt under the terms governing our existing and future indebtedness, which may make it more difficult for us to incur new debt in the future to finance our business strategy.

Cash Flows

The following is a condensed schedule of our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:
Three Months Ended March 31, Change
(in millions) 2020 2019 $ %
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 1,617    $ 1,392    $ 225    16  %
Net cash used in investing activities (1,580)   (966)   (614)   64  %
Net cash used in financing activities (453)   (190)   (263)   138  %

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $225 million, or 16%, from:

A $235 million increase in Net income, adjusted for non-cash income and expense.
The net change in working capital was relatively neutral, primarily due to changes in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, Inventories and Short and long-term operating lease liabilities, offset by lower use from Accounts receivable and Equipment installment plan receivables.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $614 million, or 64%. The use of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2020, was primarily from:

$1.8 billion in Purchases of property and equipment, including capitalized interest, primarily driven by growth in network build as we continued deployment of our nationwide 5G network;
$580 million in Net cash related to derivative contracts under collateral exchange arrangements, see Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information; and
$99 million in Purchases of spectrum licenses and other intangible assets, including deposits; partially offset by
$868 million in Proceeds related to beneficial interests in securitization transactions.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased $263 million, or 138%. The use of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2020, was primarily from:

$282 million for Repayments of financing lease obligations;
$141 million for Tax withholdings on share-based awards; and
$25 million for Repayments of short-term debt for purchases of inventory, property and equipment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of March 31, 2020, our Cash and cash equivalents were $1.1 billion compared to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2019.

43

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow represents Net cash provided by operating activities less cash payments for Purchases of property and equipment, including Proceeds from sales of tower sites and Proceeds related to beneficial interests in securitization transactions, less Cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure utilized by our management, investors and analysts of our financial information to evaluate cash available to pay debt and provide further investment in the business.

We have presented the impact of the sales in the table below, which illustrates the calculation of Free Cash Flow and reconciles Free Cash Flow to Net cash provided by operating activities, which we consider to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Three Months Ended March 31, Change
(in millions) 2020 2019 $ %
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 1,617    $ 1,392    $ 225    16  %
Cash purchases of property and equipment (1,753)   (1,931)   178    (9) %
Proceeds related to beneficial interests in securitization transactions 868    1,157    (289)   (25) %
Free Cash Flow $ 732    $ 618    $ 114    18  %

Free Cash Flow increased $114 million, or 18%, primarily from:

Higher Net cash provided by operating activities, as described above; and
Lower Cash purchases of property and equipment, including capitalized interest of $112 million and $118 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively; partially offset by
Lower Proceeds related to our deferred purchase price from securitization transactions.
Free Cash Flow includes $161 million and $34 million in payments for Merger-related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Free Cash Flow includes $46 million and $0 in cash received in settlement of interest rate swaps for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. See Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Free Cash Flow includes $12 million and $0 in payments for supplemental employee payroll, third-party commissions and cleaning-related COVID-19 costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Borrowing Capacity and Debt Financing

As of March 31, 2020, our total debt and financing lease liabilities were $27.1 billion, excluding our tower obligations, of which $22.9 billion was classified as long-term debt.

Prior to the close of the Merger, we maintained a $2.5 billion revolving credit facility with DT which is comprised of a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement and a $1.5 billion secured revolving credit agreement. In December 2019, we amended the terms of the revolving credit facility with DT to extend the maturity date to December 29, 2022. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Subsequent to March 31, 2020 and on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, the revolving credit facility was terminated with DT.

We maintain a financing arrangement with Deutsche Bank AG, which allows for up to $108 million in borrowings. Under the financing arrangement, we can effectively extend payment terms for invoices payable to certain vendors. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no outstanding balances.

We maintain vendor financing arrangements with our primary network equipment suppliers. Under the respective agreements, we can obtain extended financing terms. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repaid $25 million under the vendor financing arrangements. Payments on vendor financing agreements are included in Repayments of short-term debt for purchases of inventory, property and equipment, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of March 31, 2020, there were no outstanding borrowings under the vendor financing agreements. As of December 31, 2019, there was a $25 million outstanding balance.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, T-Mobile USA and certain of its affiliates, as guarantors, entered into a Bridge Loan Credit Agreement (the “Bridge Loan Credit Agreement”) with certain financial institutions named therein, providing for a $19.0 billion secured bridge loan facility (“New Secured Bridge Loan Facility”).

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, T-Mobile USA and certain of its affiliates, as guarantors, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with certain financial institutions named therein, providing for a $4.0 billion secured term loan facility (“New Secured Term Loan Facility”) and a $4.0 billion revolving credit facility (“New Revolving Credit Facility”).

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we drew down on our $19.0 billion New Secured Bridge Loan Facility and our $4.0 billion New Secured Term Loan Facility. We used the net proceeds of $22.6 billion from the draw down of the secured facilities to repay our $4.0 billion Incremental Term Loan Facility with DT and to repurchase from DT $4.0 billion of indebtedness to affiliates, consisting of $2.0 billion of 5.300% Senior Notes due 2021 and $2.0 billion of 6.000% Senior Notes due 2024, as well as to redeem certain debt of Sprint and Sprint’s subsidiaries, including the secured term loans due 2024 with a total principal amount outstanding of $5.9 billion, accounts receivable facility with a total amount outstanding of $2.3 billion, and Sprint Corporation 7.250% Guaranteed Notes due 2028 with a total principal amount outstanding of $1.0 billion, and for post-closing general corporate purposes of the combined company.

In connection with the entry into the Business Combination Agreement, T-Mobile USA entered into a commitment letter, dated as of April 29, 2018 (as amended and restated on May 15, 2018 and on September 6, 2019, the “Commitment Letter”). In connection with the financing provided for in the Commitment Letter, we incurred certain fees payable to the financial institutions, including certain financing fees on the secured term loan commitment and fees for structuring, funding, and providing the commitments. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we paid $355 million in Commitment Letter fees to certain financial institutions, of which $30 million were accrued for as of March 31, 2020, and were recognized in Selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. See Note 7 - Debt of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 9, 2020, T-Mobile USA and certain of its affiliates, as guarantors, issued $3.0 billion of 3.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2025, $4.0 billion of 3.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2027, $7.0 billion of 3.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2030, $2.0 billion of 4.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2040, and $3.0 billion of 4.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2050 and used the net proceeds of $18.8 billion together with cash on hand to repay at par all of the outstanding amounts under, and terminate, our $19.0 billion New Secured Bridge Loan Facility. Additionally, in connection with the repayment of our New Secured Bridge Loan Facility, we received a reimbursement of $71 million, which represents a portion of the Commitment Letter fees that were paid to certain financial institutions when we drew down on the New Secured Bridge Loan Facility on April 1, 2020.

Consents on Debt

On May 18, 2018, under the terms and conditions described in the Consent Solicitation Statement dated as of May 14, 2018, we obtained consents necessary to effect certain amendments to certain of our existing debt and certain existing debt of our subsidiaries. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we made payments for requisite consents to third-party note holders of $95 million. There were no consent payments accrued as of March 31, 2020.

In connection with the entry into the Business Combination Agreement, DT and T-Mobile USA entered into a Financing Matters Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2018, pursuant to which DT agreed, among other things, to consent to the incurrence by T-Mobile USA of secured debt in connection with and after the consummation of the Merger. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we made an additional payment for requisite consents to DT of $13 million. There was no consent payment accrued as of March 31, 2020. See Note 7 - Debt of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Future Sources and Uses of Liquidity

We may seek additional sources of liquidity, including through the issuance of additional long-term debt in 2020, to continue to opportunistically acquire spectrum licenses or other assets in private party transactions or for the refinancing of existing long-term debt on an opportunistic basis. Excluding liquidity that could be needed for spectrum acquisitions, or for other assets, we expect our principal sources of funding to be sufficient to meet our anticipated liquidity needs for business operations for the next 12 months as well as our longer-term liquidity needs. Our intended use of any such funds is for general corporate purposes,
45

including for capital expenditures, spectrum purchases, opportunistic investments and acquisitions and redemption of high yield callable debt.

In October 2018, we entered into interest rate lock derivatives with notional amounts of $9.6 billion. The fair value of interest rate lock derivatives was a liability of $2.3 billion and $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and was included in Other current liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In November 2019, we extended the mandatory termination date on our interest rate lock derivatives to June 3, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we made net collateral transfers to certain of our derivative counterparties totaling $580 million, which included variation margin transfers to (or from) such derivative counterparties based on daily market movements. These collateral transfers are included in Other current assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and in Net cash related to derivative contracts under collateral exchange arrangements within Net cash used in investing activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In March 2020, we received floating rate payments from our derivative counterparties totaling $46 million. These floating rate payments were recognized as an increase to the interest rate lock derivatives liability included in Other current liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and in Changes in other current and long-term liabilities within Net cash provided by operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, during April 2 to April 6, 2020, in connection with the issuance of senior secured notes, we terminated our interest rate lock derivatives. At the time of termination, the interest rate lock derivatives were a liability of $2.3 billion, $1.2 billion of which was cash-collateralized. Consequently, the net cash out flow required to settle the interest rate lock derivatives was an additional $1.1 billion and was paid at termination.

In connection with the closing of the Merger, on April 1, 2020, the major classes of Sprint’s liabilities assumed include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, short-term debt, operating and financing lease liabilities, net pension plan liabilities, deferred tax liabilities and long-term debt with an aggregate principal balance of $26.5 billion.

We determine future liquidity requirements, for both operations and capital expenditures, based in large part upon projected financial and operating performance, and opportunities to acquire additional spectrum. We regularly review and update these projections for changes in current and projected financial and operating results, general economic conditions, the competitive landscape and other factors. We have incurred, and will incur, substantial expenses as a result of completing the Transactions, the Divestiture Transaction and compliance with the Government Commitments, and we are also expected to incur substantial expenses in connection with integrating and coordinating T-Mobile’s and Sprint’s businesses, operations, policies and procedures. While we have assumed that a certain level of transaction-related expenses will be incurred, factors beyond our control could affect the total amount or the timing of these expenses. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately. These expenses could exceed the costs historically borne by us and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. There are a number of additional risks and uncertainties, including those due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, that could cause our financial and operating results and capital requirements to differ materially from our projections, which could cause future liquidity to differ materially from our assessment.

The indentures and credit facilities governing our long-term debt to affiliates and third parties, excluding financing leases, contain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuer and the Guarantor Subsidiaries to incur more debt, pay dividends and make distributions on our common stock, make certain investments, repurchase stock, create liens or other encumbrances, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into transactions that restrict dividends or distributions from subsidiaries, and merge, consolidate or sell, or otherwise dispose of, substantially all of their assets. Certain provisions of each of the credit facilities, indentures and supplemental indentures relating to the long-term debt to affiliates and third parties restrict the ability of the Issuer to loan funds or make payments to the Parent. However, the Issuer is allowed to make certain permitted payments to the Parent under the terms of each of the credit facilities, indentures and supplemental indentures relating to the long-term debt to affiliates and third parties. We were in compliance with all restrictive debt covenants as of March 31, 2020.

Financing Lease Facilities

We have entered into uncommitted financing lease facilities with certain partners, which provide us with the ability to enter into financing leases for network equipment and services. As of March 31, 2020, we have committed to $4.1 billion of financing leases under these financing lease facilities, of which $173 million was executed during the three months ended March 31, 2020. We expect to enter into up to an additional $1.0 billion in financing lease commitments during 2020.
46


Capital Expenditures

Our liquidity requirements have been driven primarily by capital expenditures for spectrum licenses and the construction, expansion and upgrading of our network infrastructure. Property and equipment capital expenditures primarily relate to our network transformation, including the build-out of our network to utilize our 600 MHz spectrum licenses and the deployment of 5G. Subsequent to the closing of the Merger on April 1, 2020, we expect to incur significant capital expenditures in the near term related to the integration of the T-Mobile and Sprint businesses in order to fully realize the anticipated synergies associated with the Merger.

Spectrum Auction

In March 2020, the FCC announced that we were the winning bidder of 2,384 licenses in Auction 103 (37/39 GHz and 47 GHz spectrum bands) for an aggregate price of $873 million, net of an incentive payment of $59 million. At the inception of Auction 103 in October 2019, we deposited $82 million with the FCC. Upon conclusion of Auction 103 in March 2020, we made a down payment of $93 million for the purchase price of the licenses won in the auction. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 8, 2020, we paid the FCC the remaining $698 million of the purchase price for the licenses won in the auction. See Note 5 - Spectrum License Transactions of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Dividends

We have never paid or declared any cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Our credit facilities and the indentures and supplemental indentures governing our long-term debt to affiliates and third parties, excluding financing leases, contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to declare or pay dividends on our common stock.

Contractual Obligations

In connection with the regulatory approvals of the Transactions, we made commitments to various state and federal agencies, including the DOJ and FCC. See Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we became obligated to redeem certain of our indebtedness to DT, pay certain consent fees to DT and third parties and pay certain fees to financing institutions for the provision of financing associated with the closing of the Merger. See Note 7 - Debt of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, during April 2 to April 6, 2020, in connection with the issuance of senior secured notes, we terminated our interest rate lock derivatives. See Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements for further information.

The contractual commitments and purchase obligations of Sprint were assumed upon the completion of the Merger. These contractual commitments and purchase obligations are primarily commitments to purchase wireless devices, network services, equipment, software, marketing sponsorship agreements and other items in the ordinary course of business.

Due to the limited time since the acquisition date and restrictions on access to Sprint information arising from antitrust considerations prior to the closing of the Merger, quantification and assessment of commitments and obligations under the assumed contracts is not yet complete.

Related Party Transactions

We have related party transactions associated with DT or its affiliates in the ordinary course of business, including intercompany servicing and licensing. Upon closing the Merger, we also have related party transactions associated with SoftBank or its affiliates, including a Master Services Agreement with Brightstar US, LLC. In addition, as a result of the Merger, we became party to a number of related party transactions with SoftBank and its affiliates that are being evaluated during the integration process to determine those that will remain in place for the Company.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, on April 1, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we repaid our $4.0 billion Incremental Term Loan Facility with DT and repurchased from DT $4.0 billion of indebtedness to affiliates, consisting of $2.0 billion of 5.300% Senior Notes due 2021 and $2.0 billion of 6.000% Senior Notes due 2024 as well as made an additional
47

payment for requisite consents to DT of $13 million. See Note 7 - Debt of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Disclosure of Iranian Activities under Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 added Section 13(r) to the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Section 13(r) requires an issuer to disclose in its annual or quarterly reports, as applicable, whether it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings relating to Iran or with designated natural persons or entities involved in terrorism or the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Disclosure is required even where the activities, transactions or dealings are conducted outside the U.S. by non-U.S. affiliates in compliance with applicable law, and whether or not the activities are sanctionable under U.S. law.

As of the date of this report, we are not aware of any activity, transaction or dealing by us or any of our affiliates for the three months ended March 31, 2020, that requires disclosure in this report under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act, except as set forth below with respect to affiliates that we do not control and that are our affiliates solely due to their common control with DT. We have relied upon DT for information regarding their activities, transactions and dealings.

DT, through certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, is party to roaming and interconnect agreements with the following mobile and fixed line telecommunication providers in Iran, some of which are or may be government-controlled entities: Irancell Telecommunications Services Company, Telecommunication Kish Company, Mobile Telecommunication Company of Iran, and Telecommunication Infrastructure Company of Iran. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, DT, through certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, provided basic telecommunications services to three customers in Germany identified on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control: Bank Melli, Bank Sepah, and Europäisch-Iranische Handelsbank. These services have been terminated or are in the process of being terminated. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, gross revenues of all DT affiliates generated by roaming and interconnection traffic and telecommunications services with the Iranian parties identified herein were less than $0.1 million, and the estimated net profits were less than $0.1 million.

In addition, DT, through certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate a fixed-line network in their respective European home countries (in particular Germany), provides telecommunications services in the ordinary course of business to the Embassy of Iran in those European countries. Gross revenues and net profits recorded from these activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were less than $0.1 million. We understand that DT intends to continue these activities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have arrangements, as amended from time to time, to sell certain EIP accounts receivable and service accounts receivable on a revolving basis as a source of liquidity. As of March 31, 2020, we derecognized net receivables of $2.5 billion upon sale through these arrangements. See Note 4 – Sales of Certain Receivables of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Except as described below, there have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as previously disclosed in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The policy below is critical because it requires management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors have reviewed and approved these critical accounting policies.

Receivables and Expected Credit Losses

We adopted the new credit loss standard on January 1, 2020 and recognized lifetime expected credit losses at the inception of our credit risk exposures whereas we recognized credit losses only when it was probable that they had been incurred under the previous standard.
48


Allowance for Credit Losses

We maintain an allowance for expected credit losses and determine its appropriateness through an established process that assesses the lifetime credit losses that we expect to incur related to our receivable portfolio. We develop and document our allowance methodology at the portfolio segment level for the accounts receivable portfolio and EIP receivables portfolio segments. While we attribute portions of the allowance to our respective accounts receivable and EIP portfolio segments, the entire allowance is available to absorb expected credit losses related to the total receivable portfolio.

Our process involves procedures to appropriately consider the unique risk characteristics of our accounts receivable and EIP receivable portfolio segments. For each portfolio segment, losses are estimated collectively for groups of receivables with similar characteristics. Our allowance levels are influenced by receivable volumes, receivable delinquency status, historical loss experience and other conditions influencing loss expectations, such as changes in credit and collections policies and forecasts of macro-economic conditions.

We consider a receivable past due when a customer has not paid us by the contractually specified payment due date. We write-off account balances if collection efforts are unsuccessful and the receivable balance is deemed uncollectible, based on customer credit quality and the aging of the receivable.

Accounts Receivable Portfolio Segment

Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts currently due from customers (e.g., for wireless services), handset insurance administrators, wholesale partners, other carriers and third-party retail channels. Accounts receivable are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the amortized cost basis (i.e., the receivables’ outstanding principal balance adjusted for any write-offs), net of the allowance for expected credit losses. We have an arrangement to sell the majority of customer service accounts receivable on a revolving basis, which are treated as sales of financial assets.

We estimate expected credit losses associated with our accounts receivable portfolio using an aging schedule methodology that utilizes historical information and current conditions to develop expected credit losses by aging bucket, including for receivables that are not past due.

To determine the appropriate credit loss percentages by aging bucket, we consider a number of factors, including our overall historical credit losses net of recoveries and timely payment experience as well as current collection trends such as write-off frequency and severity, credit quality of the customer base, and other qualitative factors such as macro-economic conditions, including an expected economic slowdown or recession as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We consider the need to adjust our estimate of expected credit losses for reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. To do so, we monitor professional forecasts of changes in real U.S. gross domestic product and forecasts of consumer credit behavior for comparable credit exposures. We also periodically evaluate other economic indicators such as unemployment rates to assess their level of correlation with our historical credit loss statistics.

EIP Receivables Portfolio Segment

We offer certain retail customers the option to pay for their devices and other purchases in installments over a period of, generally, 24 months and up to 36 months using an EIP. EIP receivables are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the amortized cost basis (i.e., the receivables’ outstanding principal balance adjusted for any write-offs and unamortized discounts), net of the allowance for expected credit losses. At the time of an installment sale, we impute a discount for interest if the EIP term exceeds 12 months as there is no stated rate of interest on the EIP receivables. The EIP receivables are recorded at their present value, which is determined by discounting expected future cash payments at the imputed interest rate. The difference between the recorded amount of the EIP receivables and their unpaid principal balance (i.e., the contractual amount due from the customer) results in a discount which is allocated to the performance obligations of the arrangement and recorded as a reduction in transaction price in Total service revenues and Equipment revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. We determine the imputed discount rate based primarily on current market interest rates and the estimated credit risk on the EIP receivables. The imputed discount on EIP receivables is amortized over the financed installment term using the effective interest method and recognized as Other revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

49

At the time that we originate EIP loans to customers, we recognize an allowance for credit losses that we expect to incur over the lifetime of such assets. This allowance represents the portion of the amortized cost basis of EIP receivables that we do not expect to collect.

We estimate expected credit losses on our EIP receivables by using historical data adjusted for current conditions to calculate default probabilities for our outstanding EIP loans. We consider various risk characteristics when calculating default probabilities, such as how long such loans have been outstanding, customer credit ratings, customer tenure, delinquency status and other correlated variables identified through statistical analyses. We multiply these estimated default probabilities by our estimated loss given default, which considers recoveries.

As we do for our accounts receivable portfolio segment, we consider the need to adjust our estimate of expected losses on EIP receivables for reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions through monitoring of external professional forecasts and periodic internal statistical analyses, including the impact from an expected economic slowdown or recession as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to the interest rate risk as previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q.

The certifications required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) are filed as exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, respectively, to this Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See Note 2 - Business Combinations and Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding certain legal proceedings in which we are involved.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The risk factors presented below amend and restate the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. In addition to the other information contained in this Form 10-Q, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating T-Mobile. Our business, financial condition, liquidity, or operating results, as well as the price of our common stock and other securities, could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. In addition, many of these risks have been or may be heightened by impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Risks Related to Our Business and the Wireless Industry

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected, and will continue to adversely affect, our business, liquidity, financial condition, and operating results.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected businesses, economies and financial markets worldwide. It has impacted, and will continue to impact, the demand for our products and services, the ways in which our customers use them, and our suppliers’ ability to provide products to us. As a result, our business, liquidity, financial condition, and operating results have been, and will continue to be, adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a widespread increase in unemployment and is expected to result in reduced consumer spending and economic slowdown or recession. In addition, public and private sector policies and initiatives to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, such as the imposition of travel restrictions, the promotion of social distancing, the adoption of work-from-home initiatives, government forbearance programs and online learning by companies and institutions, could affect our operations, consumer and business spending, and the amount and ways our customers use our networks and our other products and services. In addition, COVID-19 may affect the ability of our suppliers and vendors to provide products and services to us and our customers’ ability to timely pay for services. Further, the continued spread of COVID-19 has led to extreme disruption and volatility in the global capital markets and may lead to a significant economic recession, which could have a further adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results, including potentially decreased access to capital markets or a reduced ability to issue debt on terms acceptable to us. Additionally, there may be a potential impairment of goodwill, spectrum licenses or long-lived assets if the adverse impact on operating results and cash flows continues for a prolonged period of time.

Before the Merger, in mid-March, approximately 80% of T-Mobile and 70% of Sprint company-owned store locations, as well as many third-party retailer locations that sell our T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile and Sprint brands, were closed. In compliance with the regulations of various states, we have since reopened a number of our previously closed stores. Our plans to potentially reopen additional stores depend on safe and healthy operating environments and local and state mandates and orders.

In addition, in an effort to assist customers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 13, 2020, we pledged our support for the FCC’s Keep Americans Connected Pledge ensuring residential and small business customers with financial impacts resulting from the pandemic do not lose service. Since then, we have taken steps to ensure our customers have temporarily expanded international long distance calling, data services and access to our network. These initiatives could divert our resources from network buildout and put additional strain on our network, potentially leading to slower speeds impacting our customer experience.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our liquidity, financial condition and operating results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, government, social, business and other actions that have been and will be taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and its effect on short-term and long-term economic conditions.

Economic, political and market conditions, including those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results, as well as our access to financing on favorable terms or at all.

Our business, financial condition, and operating results are sensitive to changes in general economic conditions, including interest rates, consumer credit conditions, consumer debt levels, consumer confidence, rates of inflation (or concerns about
51

Table of Contents
deflation), unemployment rates, economic growth, energy costs, and other macro-economic factors. Difficult, or worsening, general economic conditions, including those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic or other events such as terrorist activity, armed conflict, political instability or natural disasters, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Market volatility, political and economic uncertainty, and weak economic conditions, such as a recession or economic slowdown, may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results in a number of ways. Our services and device financing plans are available to a broad customer base, a significant segment of which may be vulnerable to weak economic conditions, particularly our subprime customers. We may have greater difficulty in gaining new customers within this segment, and existing customers may be more likely to terminate service and default on device financing plans due to an inability to pay.

Further, because we offer a device leasing plan, we expect to realize economic benefit from the estimated residual value of a leased device, which reflects the estimated fair value of the underlying asset at the end of the expected lease term. Changes in residual value assumptions made at lease inception affect the amount of depreciation expense and the net amount of equipment under operating leases. If estimated residual values, in the aggregate, significantly decline due to economic factors, including COVID-19 impacts, obsolescence, or other circumstances, we may not realize such residual value. Sprint historically suffered, and we may suffer, negative consequences including increased costs and increased losses on devices as a result of a lease subscriber default, the related termination of a lease, and the attempted repossession of the device, including failure of a lease subscriber to return a leased device.

Weak economic conditions and credit conditions may also adversely impact our suppliers, dealers, and MVNOs, some of which may file for or may be considering bankruptcy, or may experience cash flow or liquidity problems, or may be unable to obtain or refinance credit such that they may no longer be able to operate. Any of these could adversely impact our ability to distribute, market, or sell our products and services.

In addition, instability in the global financial markets could lead to periodic volatility in the credit, equity, and fixed income markets. This volatility could limit our access to the credit markets, leading to higher borrowing costs or, in some cases, the inability to obtain financing on terms that are acceptable to us or at all.

Competition, industry consolidation, and changes in the market for wireless services could negatively affect our ability to attract and retain customers and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.

We have multiple wireless competitors, some of which have greater resources than we have and compete for customers based principally on service/device offerings, price, network coverage, speed and quality and customer service. We expect market saturation to continue to cause the wireless industry’s customer growth rate to be moderate in comparison with historical growth rates, or possibly negative, leading to ongoing competition for customers. We also expect that our customers’ appetite for data services will place increasing demands on our network capacity. This competition and our capacity will continue to put pressure on pricing and margins as companies compete for potential customers. Our ability to compete will depend on, among other things, continued absolute and relative improvement in network quality and customer service, effective marketing and selling of products and services, innovation, and attractive pricing, all of which will involve significant expenses.

Joint ventures, mergers, acquisitions and strategic alliances in the wireless sector have resulted in and are expected to result in larger competitors competing for a limited number of customers. The two largest national wireless communications services providers may be able to enter into exclusive handset, device, or content arrangements, execute pervasive advertising and marketing campaigns, or otherwise improve their cost position relative to ours. In addition, refusal of our large competitors to provide critical access to resources and inputs, such as roaming services on reasonable terms could improve their position within the wireless broadband mobile services industry.

We face intense and increasing competition from other service providers as industry sectors converge, such as cable, telecom services and content, satellite, and other service providers. Companies like Comcast and AT&T (with acquisitions of DirecTV and Time Warner, Inc.) will have the scale and assets to aggressively compete in a converging industry. Verizon, through its acquisitions of AOL, Inc. and Yahoo! Inc. is also a significant competitor focusing on premium content offerings to diversify outside of core wireless. Further, some of our competitors now provide content services in addition to voice and broadband services, and consumers are increasingly accessing video content from Internet-based providers and applications, all of which create increased competition in this area. These factors, together with the effects of the increasing aggregate penetration of wireless services in all metropolitan areas and the ability of our larger competitors to use resources to build out their networks and to quickly deploy advanced technologies, such as 5G, could make it more difficult for us to continue to attract and retain
52

Table of Contents
customers, and may adversely affect our competitive position and ability to grow, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Any acquisition, investment, or merger may subject us to significant risks, any of which may harm our business.

We may pursue acquisitions of, investments in or mergers with businesses, technologies, services and/or products that complement or expand our business. Some of these potential transactions could be significant relative to the size of our business and operations. Any such transaction would involve a number of risks and could present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including:
diversion of management attention from running our existing business;
increased costs to integrate the networks, spectrum, technology, personnel, customer base and business practices of the business involved in any such transaction with our business;
difficulties in effectively integrating the financial and operational systems of the business involved in any such transaction into (or supplanting such systems with) our financial and operational reporting infrastructure and internal control framework in an effective and timely manner;
potential exposure to material liabilities not discovered in the due diligence process or as a result of any litigation arising in connection with any such transaction;
significant transaction-related expenses in connection with any such transaction, whether consummated or not;
risks related to our ability to obtain any required regulatory approvals necessary to consummate any such transaction;
acquisition financing may not be available on reasonable terms or at all and any such financing could significantly increase our outstanding indebtedness or otherwise affect our capital structure or credit ratings; and
any business, technology, service, or product involved in any such transaction may significantly under-perform relative to our expectations, and we may not achieve the benefits we expect from the transaction, which could, among other things, also result in a write-down of goodwill and other intangible assets associated with such transaction.
For any or all of these reasons, acquisitions, investments, or mergers may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Prior to the closing of the Merger, Sprint identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting that could result in material misstatements as well as negatively impact the reliability of our financial statements. This and any other material weaknesses we identify while we work to integrate and align guidelines, principles and practices of the two companies following the Merger, or any other failure by us to maintain effective internal controls, could result in a loss of investor confidence regarding our financial statements. Additionally, the trading price of our stock and our access to capital could be negatively impacted, and we could be subjected to significant costs and reputational damage that could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we, along with our independent registered public accounting firm, will be required to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This requirement is subject to an exemption for business combinations during the most recent fiscal year, which we may choose to utilize due to the Merger.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In connection with the preparation of Sprint’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, a material weakness in Sprint’s internal control over financial reporting was discovered. The material weakness is the result of deficiencies in the operating effectiveness of the controls over testing changes to the functionality that determines qualifying subscriber usage and the validation of the ongoing qualifying subscriber usage under Sprint’s Lifeline program. Sprint provides service to eligible Lifeline subscribers under the Assurance Wireless brand for whom it seeks reimbursement from the Universal Service Fund. In 2016, the FCC enacted changes to the Lifeline program, which required Sprint to update how it determined qualifying subscriber usage. An inadvertent coding issue in the system used to identify qualifying subscriber usage occurred in July 2017 while the system was being updated to address the required changes. As a result, Sprint claimed monthly subsidies for serving Lifeline subscribers that may not have met Sprint’s usage requirements under the Lifeline program. The estimated reimbursements to federal and state governments for subsidies claimed contrary to Sprint’s usage policy reduced Sprint’s ‘‘Service revenue,’’ increased Sprint’s ‘‘Selling, general and administrative expense’’ and increased Sprint’s ‘‘Net loss attributable to Sprint Corporation’’ in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2019. These control deficiencies could have resulted in disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to Sprint’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
53

Table of Contents
Accordingly, Sprint’s management determined that these control deficiencies constituted a material weakness. This material weakness remained unremediated as of December 31, 2019.

While we work to integrate and align guidelines, principles and practices of the two companies following the Merger, as a result of the differences in control environments and cultures, we could potentially identify other material weaknesses that could result in materially inaccurate financial statements, materially inaccurate disclosures, or failure to prevent error or fraud for the combined company. There can be no assurance that remediation of the existing Sprint material weakness, or any other material weaknesses identified during integration of the two companies, will be completed in a timely manner or that the remedial measures will prevent other control deficiencies or material weaknesses. Subsequent testing of the operational effectiveness of the modified systems and validation controls will be necessary to conclude that any material weaknesses identified have been fully remediated. We may also identify other material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting in the future. If we are unable to remediate material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, then our ability to analyze, record and report financial information free of material misstatements, to prepare financial statements within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC and otherwise to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will be adversely affected. The occurrence of, or failure to remediate, this material weakness and any future material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting may result in material misstatements of our financial statements.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including judgments used in decision-making, the nature and complexity of the transactions we undertake, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, cost limitations, and other factors. If we or our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to conclude that we have effective internal control over financial reporting, or if other material weaknesses in our internal controls are discovered, such as through the identification of any additional material weaknesses as we complete our assessment of Sprint’s legacy control environment, or occur in the future or we otherwise must restate our financial statements, it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results, restrict our ability to access the capital markets, require the expenditure of significant resources to correct the weaknesses or deficiencies, subject us to fines, penalties, investigations or judgments, harm our reputation, or otherwise cause a decline in investor confidence.

The difficulties in satisfying the large number of Government Commitments in the required time frames and the significant cost incurred in tracking, monitoring and complying with them, could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In connection with the regulatory proceedings and approvals required to close the Transactions, we agreed to various Government Commitments. These Government Commitments include, among other things, extensive 5G network build-out commitments, obligations to deliver high-speed wireless services to the vast majority of Americans, including Americans residing in rural areas, and the marketing of an in-home broadband product where spectrum capacity is available. Other Government Commitments relate to national security, pricing, service and device availability to specified percentages of certain state populations, employment and support of diversity initiatives. Many of the Government Commitments specify time frames for compliance. Failure to fulfill our obligations under these Government Commitments in a timely manner could result in substantial fines, penalties, or other legal and administrative actions.

We expect to incur significant costs, expenses and fees for professional services to track, monitor, comply with and fulfil our obligations under these Government Commitments. In addition, abiding by the Government Commitments may divert our management’s time and energy away from other business operations and could force us to make business decisions we would not otherwise make and forego taking actions that might be beneficial to us. The difficulties in satisfying the large number of Government Commitments in the required time frames and the cost incurred in tracking, monitoring and complying with them could also adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations and hinder our ability to effectively compete.

We could be harmed by data loss or other security breaches, whether directly or indirectly.

Our business, like that of most retailers and wireless companies, involves the receipt, storage, and transmission of our customers’ confidential information, including sensitive personal information and payment card information, confidential information about our employees and suppliers, and other sensitive information about our Company, such as our business plans, transactions and intellectual property (“Confidential Information”). Unauthorized access to Confidential Information may be difficult to anticipate, detect, or prevent, particularly given that the methods of unauthorized access constantly change and evolve. We are subject to the threat of unauthorized access or disclosure of Confidential Information by state-sponsored parties, malicious actors, third parties or employees, errors or breaches by third-party suppliers, or other security incidents that could compromise the confidentiality and integrity of Confidential Information. In August 2018, November 2019, and March 2020, we notified affected customers of incidents involving unauthorized access to certain customer information. Other than a small
54

Table of Contents
number of customers in connection with the March 2020 incident, these incidents did not involve credit card information, financial data, social security numbers or passwords. While we do not believe these security incidents were material, we expect to continue to be the target of cyber-attacks, data breaches, or security incidents, which may in the future have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, and operating results.

Cyber-attacks, such as denial of service and other malicious attacks, could disrupt our internal systems and applications, impair our ability to provide services to our customers, and have other adverse effects on our business and that of others who depend on our services. As a telecommunications carrier, we are considered a critical infrastructure provider and therefore may be more likely to be the target of such attacks. Such attacks against companies may be perpetrated by a variety of groups or persons, including those in jurisdictions where law enforcement measures to address such attacks are ineffective or unavailable, and such attacks may even be perpetrated by or at the behest of foreign governments.

In addition, we provide confidential, proprietary and personal information to third-party service providers as part of our business operations. These third-party service providers have experienced data breaches and other attacks that included unauthorized access to Confidential Information in the past, and face security challenges common to all parties that collect and process information. Past data breaches include a breach of the networks of one of our credit decisioning providers in September 2015, during which a subset of records containing current and potential customer information was acquired by an external party.

Our procedures and safeguards to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data and to defend against attacks seeking to disrupt our services must be continually evaluated and revised to address the ever-evolving threat landscape. We cannot make assurances that all preventive actions taken will adequately repel a significant attack or prevent information security breaches or the misuses of data, unauthorized access by third parties or employees, or exploits against third-party supplier environments. If we or our third-party suppliers are subject to such attacks or security breaches, we may incur significant costs or other material financial impacts, which may not be covered by, or may exceed the coverage limits of, our cyber insurance, be subject to regulatory investigations, sanctions and private litigation, experience disruptions to our operations or suffer damage to our reputation. Any future cyber-attacks, data breaches, or security incidents may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

System failures and business disruptions may allow unauthorized use of or interference with our network and other systems which could materially adversely affect our reputation and financial condition.

To be successful, we must provide our customers with reliable, trustworthy service and protect the communications, location, and personal information shared or generated by our customers. We rely upon both our systems and networks and the systems and networks of other providers and suppliers to provide and support our services and, in some cases, protect our customers’ information and our information. Failure of our or others’ systems, networks, or infrastructure may prevent us from providing reliable service or may allow for the unauthorized use of or interference with our networks and other systems or for the compromise of customer information. Examples of these risks include:
human error such as responding to deceptive communications or unintentionally executing malicious code;
physical damage, power surges or outages, or equipment failure with respect to both our wireless and wireline networks, including those as a result of severe weather, natural disasters, public health crises, terrorist attacks, political instability and volatility, and acts of war;
theft of customer and/or proprietary information offered for sale for competitive advantage or corporate extortion;
unauthorized access to our IT and business systems or to our network and critical infrastructure and those of our suppliers and other providers;
supplier failures or delays; and
system failures or outages of our business systems or communications network.
Such events could cause us to lose customers, lose revenue, incur expenses, suffer reputational damage, and subject us to litigation or governmental investigation. Remediation costs could include liability for information loss, repairing infrastructure and systems, and/or costs of incentives offered to customers. Our insurance may not cover, or be adequate to fully reimburse us for, costs and losses associated with such events.

If we are unable to take advantage of technological developments on a timely basis, we may experience a decline in demand for our services or face challenges in implementing or evolving our business strategy.

Significant technological changes continue to impact the communications industry. In general, these technological changes enhance communications and enable a broader array of companies to offer services competitive with ours. In order to grow and
55

Table of Contents
remain competitive with new and evolving technologies in our industry, we will need to adapt to future changes in technology, continually invest in our network, increase network capacity, enhance our existing offerings, and introduce new offerings to address our current and potential customers’ changing demands. Enhancing our network, including our 5G network, is subject to risk from equipment changes and migration of customers from older technologies. Adopting new and sophisticated technologies may result in implementation issues such as scheduling and supplier delays, unexpected or increased costs, technological constraints, regulatory permitting issues, customer dissatisfaction, and other issues that could cause delays in launching new technological capabilities, which in turn could result in significant costs or reduce the anticipated benefits of the upgrades. In general, the development of new services in the wireless telecommunications industry will require us to anticipate and respond to the continuously changing demands of our customers, which we may not be able to do accurately or timely. If our new services fail to retain or gain acceptance in the marketplace or if costs associated with these services are higher than anticipated, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

We continue to implement a new billing system, which will support a portion of our subscribers, while maintaining our legacy billing systems and integrating Sprint’s billing system as a result of the Merger. The combined company will have multiple billing systems and our go-forward billing system strategy will need to be evaluated. Any unanticipated difficulties, disruption, or significant delays could have adverse operational, financial, and reputational effects on our business.

We continue to implement a new customer billing system that involves a new third-party supported platform and utilization of a phased deployment approach. Elements of the billing system have been placed into service and are operational and we plan to operate both the existing and new billing systems in parallel to aid in the transition to the new system until all phases of the conversion are complete.

The ongoing implementation as well as integration efforts with respect to billing as a result of the Merger may cause major system or business disruptions, or we may fail to implement the new billing system in its entirety or in a timely or effective manner. In addition, we or the supporting vendor may experience errors, cyber-attacks, or other operational disruptions that could negatively impact us and over which we may have limited control. Interruptions and/or failure of this billing services system could disrupt our operations and impact our ability to provide or bill for our services, retain customers, attract new customers, or negatively impact overall customer experience. Any occurrence of the foregoing could cause material adverse effects on our operations and financial condition, material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and reputational damage.

We rely on third parties to provide products and services for the operation of our business, and the failure or inability of such parties to provide these products or services could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.

We depend heavily on suppliers, service providers, their subcontractors and other third parties for us to efficiently operate our business. Due to the complexity of our business, it is not unusual to engage a diverse set of suppliers to help us develop, maintain, and troubleshoot products and services such as wireless and wireline network components, software development services, and billing and customer service support. Some of our suppliers may provide services from outside of the United States, which carries additional regulatory and legal obligations. We commonly rely on suppliers to provide us with contractual assurances and to disclose accurate information regarding risks associated with their provision of products or services in accordance with our policies and standards, including our Supplier Code of Conduct and our third party-risk management practices. The failure of our suppliers to comply with our expectations and policies could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Many of the products and services we use are available through multiple sources and suppliers. However, there are a limited number of suppliers who can support or provide billing services, voice and data communications transport services, wireless or wireline network infrastructure, equipment, handsets, other devices, and payment processing services, among other products and services. Disruptions or failure of such suppliers to adequately perform could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

In the past, our suppliers, service providers and their subcontractors may not have always performed at the levels we expected or at the levels required by their contracts. Our business could be severely disrupted if critical suppliers or service providers fail to comply with their contracts or if we experience delays or service degradation during any transition to a new outsourcing provider or other supplier or if we are required to replace the supplied products or services with those from another source, especially if the replacement becomes necessary on short notice. Any such disruptions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Our indebtedness is substantially greater than the indebtedness of each of T-Mobile and Sprint on a standalone basis prior to the Transactions. This increased level of indebtedness could adversely affect our business flexibility and increase our borrowing costs.

In connection with the Transactions, T-Mobile and Sprint conducted financing transactions that were used in part to prepay a portion of T-Mobile’s and Sprint’s existing indebtedness and to fund liquidity needs. Immediately following the Transactions, we have consolidated indebtedness, including financing lease liabilities, of approximately $69.0 billion, excluding our obligations to pay for the management and operation of certain of our wireless communications tower sites (“Tower Obligations”) and operating lease liabilities.

Our substantially increased indebtedness following the Transactions could have the effect, among other things, of reducing our flexibility to respond to changing business, economic, market and industry conditions and increasing the amount of cash required to meet interest payments. In addition, this increased level of indebtedness following the Transactions may reduce funds available to support efforts to integrate T-Mobile’s and Sprint’s businesses and realize the expected benefits of the Transactions, and may also reduce funds available for capital expenditures, share repurchases and other activities. Those impacts may put us at a competitive disadvantage relative to other companies with lower debt levels. Further, we may need to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, subject to the restrictions contained in our debt instruments, which could increase the risks associated with our capital structure.

Because of our substantial indebtedness, there is a risk that we may not be able to service our debt obligations in accordance with their terms.

We have, and we expect that we will continue to have, a significant amount of debt. Immediately following the Transactions, we have consolidated indebtedness, including financing lease liabilities, of approximately $69.0 billion, excluding Tower Obligations and operating lease liabilities.

Our ability to service our substantial debt obligations will depend on future performance, which will be affected by business, economic, market and industry conditions and other factors, including our ability to achieve the expected benefits of the Transactions. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt obligations when due. If we are unable to meet such obligations or fail to comply with the financial and other restrictive covenants contained in the agreements governing such debt obligations, we may be required to refinance all or part of our debt, sell important strategic assets at unfavorable prices or make additional borrowings. We may not be able to, at any given time, refinance our debt, sell assets or make additional borrowings on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations after the Transactions.

Some or all of our variable-rate indebtedness may use the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as a benchmark for establishing the rate. LIBOR will be discontinued after 2021 and will be replaced with an alternative reference rate. The consequence of this development cannot be entirely predicted but could include an increase in the cost of our variable rate indebtedness. In addition, any hedging agreements we have and may continue to enter into to limit our exposure to interest rate increases or foreign currency fluctuations may not offer complete protection from these risks or may be unsuccessful, and consequently may effectively increase the interest rate we pay on our debt or the exchange rate with respect to such debt, and any portion not subject to such hedging agreements would have full exposure to interest rate increases or foreign currency fluctuations, as applicable. If any financial institutions that are parties to our hedging agreements were to default on their payment obligations to us, declare bankruptcy or become insolvent, we would be unhedged against the underlying exposures. Any posting of collateral by us under our hedging agreements and the modification or termination of any of our hedging agreements could negatively impact our liquidity or other financial metrics. Any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

The agreements governing our indebtedness and other financings include restrictive covenants that limit our operating flexibility.

The agreements governing our indebtedness and other financings impose material operating and financial restrictions. These restrictions, subject in certain cases to customary baskets, exceptions and maintenance and incurrence-based financial tests, together with our debt service obligations, may limit our ability to engage in transactions and pursue strategic business opportunities, including the following:
incurring additional indebtedness and issuing preferred stock;
paying dividends, redeeming capital stock or making other restricted payments or investments;
selling, buying or leasing assets, properties or licenses, including spectrum;
57

Table of Contents
developing assets, properties or licenses that we have or in the future may procure;
creating liens on assets securing indebtedness or other obligations;
participating in future Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) auctions of spectrum or private sales of spectrum;
engaging in mergers, acquisitions, business combinations or other transactions;
entering into transactions with affiliates; and
placing restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments.
These restrictions could limit our ability to obtain debt financing, make share repurchases, refinance or pay principal on our outstanding indebtedness, complete acquisitions for cash or indebtedness or react to business, economic, market and industry conditions and other changes in our operating environment or the economy. Any future indebtedness that we incur may contain similar or more restrictive covenants. Any failure to comply with the restrictions of our debt agreements may result in an event of default under these agreements, which in turn may result in defaults or acceleration of obligations under these and other agreements, giving our lenders the right to terminate the commitments they had made or the right to require us to repay all amounts then outstanding plus any interest, fees, penalties or premiums. An event of default may also compel us to sell certain assets securing indebtedness under these agreements.

Credit rating downgrades could adversely affect our businesses, cash flows, financial condition and operating results, which relies on investment-grade markets.

Credit ratings impact the cost and availability of future borrowings, and, as a result, cost of capital. Our current ratings reflect each rating agency’s opinion of our financial strength, operating performance and ability to meet our debt obligations. Our capital structure and business model are reliant on continued access to the investment-grade debt markets. Each rating agency reviews our ratings periodically and there can be no assurance that such ratings will be maintained in the future. A downgrade in our corporate rating and/or our issued investment-grade debt ratings could impact our ability to access the investment-grade debt market and adversely affect our businesses, cash flows, financial condition and operating results.

The scarcity and cost of additional wireless spectrum, and regulations relating to spectrum use, may adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

As a result of completing the Transactions, we acquired additional spectrum from Sprint, including 2.5 GHz spectrum, that we need in order to continue our customer growth, expand and deepen our coverage, maintain our quality of service, meet increasing customer demands, and deploy new technologies. Although the Merger has reduced our immediate need to acquire additional spectrum, as we continue to enhance the quality of our services in certain geographic areas and deploy new technologies, we may need to acquire additional spectrum in the future. As a result, we will continue to actively seek to make additional investment in spectrum, which could be significant.

The continued interest in, and acquisition of, spectrum by existing carriers and others may reduce our ability to acquire and/or increase the cost of acquiring spectrum in the secondary market or negatively impact our ability to gain access to spectrum through other means, including government auctions. We may need to enter into spectrum sharing or leasing arrangements, which are subject to certain risks and uncertainties and may involve significant expenditures. In addition, our return on investment in spectrum depends on our ability to attract additional customers and to provide additional services and usage to existing customers. As a result, the return on any investment in spectrum that we make may not be as much as we anticipate or take longer than expected. Additionally, the FCC may not be able to provide sufficient additional spectrum to auction or we may be unable to secure the spectrum we need in any auction we may elect to participate in or in the secondary market, on favorable terms or at all.

The FCC may impose conditions on the use of new wireless broadband mobile spectrum that may negatively impact our ability to obtain spectrum economically or in appropriate configurations or coverage areas. Additional conditions that may be imposed by the FCC include heightened build-out requirements, limited license terms or renewal rights, and clearing obligations that may make it less attractive or less economical to acquire spectrum. In addition, rules may be established for future government spectrum auctions that may negatively impact our ability to obtain spectrum economically or in appropriate configurations or coverage areas.

If we cannot acquire needed spectrum from the government or otherwise, if competitors acquire spectrum that will allow them to provide services competitive with our services, or if we cannot deploy services over acquired spectrum on a timely basis without burdensome conditions, at reasonable cost, and while maintaining network quality levels, then our ability to attract and retain customers and our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

We have incurred, and will incur, direct and indirect costs as a result of the Transactions.

We have incurred, and will incur, substantial expenses as a result of completing the Transactions, the Divestiture Transaction and compliance with the Government Commitments, and we are also expected to incur substantial expenses in connection with integrating and coordinating T-Mobile’s and Sprint’s businesses, operations, policies and procedures. While we have assumed that a certain level of transaction-related expenses will be incurred, factors beyond our control could affect the total amount or the timing of these expenses. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately. These expenses could exceed the costs historically borne by us and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our financial condition and operating results will be impaired if we experience high fraud rates related to device financing, customer credit cards, dealers, subscriptions, or account take over fraud.

Our operating costs could increase substantially as a result of fraud, including any fraud related to device financing, customer credit cards, dealers, subscriptions, or account take over fraud. If our fraud detection strategies and processes are not successful in detecting and controlling fraud, whether directly or by way of the systems, processes, and operations of third parties such as national retailers, dealers, and others, the resulting loss of revenue or increased expenses could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

We rely on highly skilled personnel throughout all levels of our business. Our business could be harmed if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel, hire qualified personnel or maintain our corporate culture.

The market for highly skilled workers and leaders in our industry is extremely competitive. We believe that our future success depends in substantial part on our ability to recruit, hire, motivate, develop, and retain talented and highly-skilled personnel for all areas of our organization, including our CEO, the other members of our senior leadership team and highly skilled employees in technical, marketing and staff positions. Doing so may be difficult due to many factors, including fluctuations in economic and industry conditions, changes to U.S. immigration policy, competitors’ hiring practices, employee tolerance for the significant amount of change within and demands on our Company and our industry, and the effectiveness of our compensation programs.

Uncertainty about the process of integrating T-Mobile’s and Sprint’s businesses could have an adverse impact on our employees. These uncertainties may impair the ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel, as existing and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with us. If key employees depart because of issues related to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with us, our business could be negatively impacted. We may have to incur significant costs in identifying, hiring and retaining replacements for departing employees and may lose significant expertise and talent. As a result, we may not be able to meet our business plan and our revenue growth and profitability may be materially adversely affected.

In addition, certain members of our senior leadership team, including our CEO, have term employment agreements with us. Our inability to extend the terms of these employment agreements or to replace these members or our senior leadership team at the end of their terms with qualified and capable successors could hinder our strategic planning and execution. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain the executives of T-Mobile and Sprint or that we will otherwise succeed in attracting, hiring and retaining candidates with the qualifications and skills necessary to our success. Our failure to attract, hire and retain such candidates, from within T-Mobile or Sprint or otherwise, could negatively affect our operations and profitability.

Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Matters

Changes in regulations or in the regulatory framework under which we operate could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

The FCC regulates the licensing, construction, modification, operation, ownership, sale, and interconnection of wireless communications systems, as do some state and local regulatory agencies. In particular, the FCC imposes significant regulation on licensees of wireless spectrum with respect to how radio spectrum is used by licensees, the nature of the services that licensees may offer and how the services may be offered, and the resolution of issues of interference between spectrum bands. Additionally, the FTC and other federal and state agencies have asserted that they have jurisdiction over some consumer protection, and elimination and prevention of anticompetitive business practices with respect to the provision of wireless products and services. We are subject to regulatory oversight by various federal, state and local agencies, as well as judicial review and actions, on issues related to the wireless industry that include, but are not limited to: roaming, interconnection, spectrum allocation and licensing, facilities siting, pole attachments, intercarrier compensation, Universal Service Fund (“USF”), net neutrality, 911 services, consumer protection, consumer privacy, and cybersecurity. We are also subject to regulations in connection with other aspects of our business, including handset financing and insurance activities.

We cannot assure you that the FCC or any other federal, state or local agencies will not adopt regulations, implement new programs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, or take enforcement or other actions that would adversely affect our business, impose new costs, or require changes in current or planned operations. For example, under the Obama administration, the FCC established net neutrality and privacy regimes that applied to our operations. Both sets of rules potentially subjected some of our initiatives and practices to more burdensome requirements and heightened scrutiny by federal and state regulators, the public, edge providers, and private litigants regarding whether such initiatives or practices are compliant. While the FCC rules are now largely rolled back under the Trump administration, some states and other jurisdictions have enacted, or are considering enacting, laws in these areas (including for example the CCPA as discussed below), perpetuating the risk and uncertainty regarding the regulatory environment and compliance around these issues.

In addition, states are increasingly focused on the quality of service and support that wireless communications services providers provide to their customers and several states have proposed or enacted new and potentially burdensome regulations in this area. We also face potential investigations by, and inquiries from or actions by state public utility commissions. We also cannot assure you that Congress will not amend the Communications Act, from which the FCC obtains its authority, and which serves to limit state authority, or enact other legislation in a manner that could be adverse to our business.

Additionally, in June 2018, California passed the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”), which became effective in January 2020, creating new data privacy rights for California residents and new compliance obligations for us. We have incurred and will continue to incur significant implementation costs to ensure compliance with the CCPA, and we could see increased litigation costs with the law now in effect. The California Attorney General has proposed related CCPA regulations, which could be adopted in a form that increases our costs and/or litigation exposure. If we are unable to put proper controls and procedures in place to ensure compliance, it could have an adverse effect on our business. A California ballot initiative has recently been introduced by the original proponent of the CCPA that would provide additional data privacy rights and require additional implementation processes if passed. Other states, such as Nevada and Washington, have passed or are considering similar legislation, which, if passed, could create more risks and potential costs for us, especially to the extent the specific requirements of these laws vary significantly from those in California, Nevada and other existing laws.

Failure to comply with applicable regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. We could be subject to fines, forfeitures, and other penalties (including, in extreme cases, revocation of our spectrum licenses) for failure to comply with FCC or other governmental regulations, even if any such non-compliance was unintentional. The loss of any licenses, or any related fines or forfeitures, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Unfavorable outcomes of legal proceedings may adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We and our affiliates are involved in various disputes, governmental and/or regulatory inspections, investigations and proceedings and litigation matters. Such legal proceedings can be complex, costly, and highly disruptive to our business operations by diverting the attention and energy of management and other key personnel.

In connection with the Transactions, it is possible that stockholders of T-Mobile and/or Sprint may file putative class action lawsuits against the legacy T-Mobile board of directors and/or the Sprint board of directors. Among other remedies, these
60

Table of Contents
stockholders could seek damages. The outcome of any litigation is uncertain and any such potential lawsuits could result in substantial costs and may be costly and distracting to management.

Additionally, prior to the closing of the Merger, Sprint notified the FCC and state regulators that Sprint had claimed monthly subsidies for serving subscribers even though these subscribers may not have met usage requirements under Sprint’s usage policy for its Lifeline program. It is possible that an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters or other future matters could adversely affect us and our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

On February 28, 2020, we received a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture and Admonishment from the FCC, which proposed a penalty against us for allegedly violating section 222 of the Communications Act and the FCC’s regulations governing the privacy of customer information. We recorded an accrual for an estimated payment amount as of March 31, 2020, which was included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The assessment of the outcome of legal proceedings, including our potential liability, if any, is a highly subjective process that requires judgments about future events that are not within our control. The amounts ultimately received or paid upon settlement or pursuant to final judgment, order or decree may differ materially from amounts accrued in our financial statements. In addition, litigation or similar proceedings could impose restraints on our current or future manner of doing business. Such potential outcomes including judgments, awards, settlements or orders could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

We offer highly regulated financial services products. These products expose us to a wide variety of state and federal regulations.

The financing of devices, such as through our EIP, JUMP! On Demand or other leasing programs such as those acquired in the Merger, has expanded our regulatory compliance obligations. Failure to remain compliant with applicable regulations, may increase our risk exposure in the following areas:
consumer complaints and potential examinations or enforcement actions by federal and state regulatory agencies, including but not limited to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, state attorneys general, the FCC and the FTC; and
regulatory fines, penalties, enforcement actions, civil litigation, and/or class action lawsuits.
Failure to comply with applicable regulations and the realization of any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

We may not be able to adequately protect the intellectual property rights on which our business depends or may be accused of infringing intellectual property rights of third parties.

We rely on a combination of patent, service mark, trademark, and trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect our proprietary rights, all of which offer only limited protection. The steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property may not prevent the misappropriation of our proprietary rights. We may not have the ability in certain jurisdictions to adequately protect intellectual property rights. Moreover, others may independently develop processes and technologies that are competitive to ours. Also, we may not be able to discover or determine the extent of any unauthorized use of our proprietary rights. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights may increase the cost of protecting these rights or reduce our revenues. We cannot be sure that any legal actions against such infringers will be successful, even when our rights have been infringed. We cannot assure you that our pending or future patent applications will be granted or enforceable, or that the rights granted under any patent that may be issued will provide us with any competitive advantages. In addition, we cannot assure you that any trademark or service mark registrations will be issued with respect to pending or future applications or will provide adequate protection of our brands. We do not have insurance coverage for intellectual property losses, and as such, a charge for an anticipated settlement or an adverse ruling awarding damages represents an unplanned loss event. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Third parties may claim we infringe upon their intellectual property rights. We are a defendant in numerous intellectual property lawsuits, including patent infringement lawsuits, which expose us to the risk of adverse financial impact either by way of significant settlement amounts or damage awards. As we adopt new technologies and new business systems and provide customers with new products and/or services, we may face additional infringement claims. These claims could require us to cease certain activities or to cease selling relevant products and services. These claims can be time-consuming and costly to defend, and divert management resources, and expose us to significant damages awards or settlements, any or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition. In addition to litigation directly involving our Company, our vendors and suppliers can be threatened with patent litigation and/or subjected to the threat of disruption or
61

Table of Contents
blockage of sale, use, or importation of products, posing the risk of supply chain interruption to particular products and associated services which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our business may be impacted by new or amended tax laws or regulations, judicial interpretations of same or administrative actions by federal, state, and/or local taxing authorities.

In connection with the products and services we sell, we calculate, collect, and remit various federal, state, and local taxes, fees and regulatory charges (“tax” or “taxes”) to numerous federal, state and local governmental authorities, including federal USF contributions and common carrier regulatory fees. In addition, we incur and pay state and local taxes and fees on purchases of goods and services used in our business.

Tax laws are dynamic and subject to change as new laws are passed and new interpretations of the law are issued or applied. In many cases, the application of existing, newly enacted or amended tax laws (such as the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017) may be uncertain and subject to differing interpretations, especially when evaluated against new technologies and telecommunications services, such as broadband internet access and cloud related services. Changes in tax laws could also impact revenue reported on tax inclusive plans.

In the event that we have incorrectly described, disclosed, determined, calculated, assessed, or remitted amounts that were due to governmental authorities, we could be subject to additional taxes, fines, penalties, or other adverse actions, which could materially impact our business, financial condition and operating results. In the event that federal, state, and/or local municipalities were to significantly increase taxes on our network, operations, or services, or seek to impose new taxes, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our wireless licenses are subject to renewal and may be revoked in the event that we violate applicable laws.

Our existing wireless licenses are subject to renewal upon the expiration of the 10-year or 15-year period for which they are granted. Historically, the FCC has approved our license renewal applications. However, the Communications Act provides that licenses may be revoked for cause and license renewal applications denied if the FCC determines that a renewal would not serve the public interest. If we fail to timely file to renew any wireless license or fail to meet any regulatory requirements for renewal, including construction and substantial service requirements, we could be denied a license renewal. Many of our wireless licenses are subject to interim or final construction requirements and there is no guarantee that the FCC will find our construction, or the construction of prior licensees, sufficient to meet the build-out or renewal requirements. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the FCC will renew our wireless licenses upon their expiration. If any of our wireless licenses were to be revoked or not renewed upon expiration, we would not be permitted to provide services under that license, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

For our Educational Broadband Service (“EBS”) licenses in the 2.5 GHz band, FCC rules generally limit eligibility to hold EBS licenses to accredited educational institutions and certain governmental, religious and nonprofit entities, but permit those license holders to lease up to 95% of their capacity for non-educational purposes. Therefore, we primarily access EBS spectrum through long-term leasing arrangements with EBS license holders. Our EBS spectrum leases typically have an initial term equal to the remaining term of the EBS license, with an option to renew the lease for additional terms, for a total lease term of up to 30 years. We rely on the EBS license holders from whom we lease the EBS spectrum to take necessary and appropriate steps to meet the FCC requirements to continue to hold these licenses. If the EBS license holders fail to meet those requirements, we could be denied our rights under the leasing arrangements, which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition or operating results. On April 27, 2020, the FCC lifted the restriction on who can hold EBS licenses, which would allow current license holders to sell their licenses to other parties, including to T-Mobile. We will continue to monitor the impact of this change on our ability to access the EBS spectrum.

Our business could be adversely affected by findings of product liability for health or safety risks from wireless devices and transmission equipment, as well as by changes to regulations or radio frequency emission standards.

We do not manufacture the devices or other equipment that we sell, and we depend on our suppliers to provide defect-free and safe equipment. Suppliers are required by applicable law to manufacture their devices to meet certain governmentally imposed safety criteria. However, even if the devices we sell meet the regulatory safety criteria, we could be held liable with the equipment manufacturers and suppliers for any harm caused by products we sell if such products are later found to have design or manufacturing defects. We generally seek to enter into indemnification agreements with the manufacturers who supply us with devices to protect us from losses associated with product liability, but we cannot guarantee that we will be protected in whole or in part against losses associated with a product that is found to be defective.

62

Table of Contents
Allegations have been made that the use of wireless handsets and wireless transmission equipment, such as cell towers, may be linked to various health concerns, including cancer and brain tumors. Lawsuits have been filed against manufacturers and carriers in the industry claiming damages for alleged health problems arising from the use of wireless handsets. In addition, the FCC has from time to time gathered data regarding wireless handset emissions and its assessment of this issue may evolve based on its findings. The media has also reported incidents of handset battery malfunction, including reports of batteries that have overheated. These allegations may lead to changes in regulatory standards. There have also been other allegations regarding wireless technology, including allegations that wireless handset emissions may interfere with various electronic medical devices (including hearing aids and pacemakers), airbags and anti-lock brakes. Defects in the products of our suppliers, such as the 2016 recall by a handset original equipment manufacturer of one of its smartphone devices, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. Any of these allegations or risks could result in customers purchasing fewer devices and wireless services, and could also result in significant legal and regulatory liability.

Additionally, there are safety risks associated with the use of wireless devices while operating vehicles or equipment. Concerns over any of these risks and the effect of any legislation, rules or regulations that have been and may be adopted in response to these risks could limit our ability to sell our wireless services.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock

Each of DT, which controls a majority of the voting power of our common stock, and SoftBank, a significant stockholder of T-Mobile, may have interests that differ from the interests of our other stockholders.

Upon the completion of the Transactions, DT and SoftBank entered into a proxy, lock-up and right of first refusal agreement (the “Proxy Agreement”). Pursuant to the Proxy Agreement, at any meeting of our stockholders, the shares of our common stock beneficially owned by SoftBank will be voted in the manner as directed by DT.

Accordingly, DT controls a majority of the voting power of our common stock and therefore we are a “controlled company,” as defined in The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) listing rules, and are not subject to NASDAQ requirements that would otherwise require us to have a majority of independent directors, a nominating committee composed solely of independent directors or a compensation committee composed solely of independent directors. Accordingly, our stockholders will not be afforded the same protections generally as stockholders of other NASDAQ-listed companies with respect to corporate governance for so long as we rely on these exemptions from the corporate governance requirements.

In addition, pursuant to our certificate of incorporation and the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement (i) as long as DT beneficially owns 30% or more of our outstanding common stock, we are restricted from taking certain actions without DT’s prior written consent, including (a) incurring indebtedness above certain levels based on a specified debt to cash flow ratio, (b) taking any action that would cause a default under any instrument evidencing indebtedness involving DT or its affiliates, (c) acquiring or disposing of assets or entering into mergers or similar acquisitions in excess of $1.0 billion, (d) changing the size of our board of directors, (e) subject to certain exceptions, issuing equity of 10% or more of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock, or issuing equity to redeem debt held by DT, (f) repurchasing or redeeming equity securities or making any extraordinary or in-kind dividend other than on a pro rata basis, or (g) making certain changes involving our CEO; and (ii) as long as SoftBank beneficially owns 22.5% or more of our outstanding common stock, we are restricted from taking certain actions without SoftBank’s prior written consent, including (a) acquiring or disposing of assets or entering into mergers or similar acquisitions in excess of $1.0 billion (other than a Sale of the Company (as defined in the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement), for which the prior written consent of SoftBank will not be required, but for which SoftBank has a match right as set forth in the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement), or (b) subject to certain exceptions, issuing equity of 10% or more of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock. We are also restricted from amending our certificate of incorporation and bylaws in any manner that could adversely affect DT’s or SoftBank’s rights under the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement for as long as the applicable stockholder beneficially owns 5% or more of our outstanding common stock. These restrictions could prevent us from taking actions that our board of directors may otherwise determine are in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders or that may be in the best interests of our other stockholders.

Subject to SoftBank’s rights described above and SoftBank’s right to designate a certain number of individuals to be nominees for election to our board of directors pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement, DT effectively has control over all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election or removal of directors, changes to our certificate of incorporation, a sale or merger of our Company and other transactions requiring stockholder approval under Delaware law. DT’s controlling interest may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discouraging a third party from seeking to acquire, the Company. DT and SoftBank as significant shareholders may have strategic, financial, or other interests different from our other stockholders, including as the holder of a substantial amount of
63

Table of Contents
our indebtedness and as the counterparty in a number of commercial arrangements, and may make decisions adverse to the interests of our other stockholders.

In addition, we license certain trademarks from DT, including the right to use the trademark “T-Mobile” as a name for the Company and our flagship brand, under a trademark license agreement, as amended, with DT. As described in more detail in our Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on April 21, 2020 under the heading “Transactions with Related Persons and Approval,” we are obligated to pay DT a royalty in an amount equal to 0.25% (the “royalty rate”) of the net revenue (as defined in the trademark license) generated by products and services sold by the Company under the licensed trademarks subject to a cap of $80.0 million per calendar year through December 31, 2028. We and DT are obligated to negotiate a new trademark license when (i) DT has 50% or less of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company or (ii) any third party owns or controls, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, or otherwise has the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company. If we and DT fail to agree on a new trademark license, either we or DT may terminate the trademark license and such termination shall be effective, in the case of clause (i) above, on the third anniversary after notice of termination and, in the case of clause (ii) above, on the second anniversary after notice of termination. A further increase in the royalty rate or termination of the trademark license could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Future sales or issuances of our common stock, including sales by DT and SoftBank, could have a negative impact on our stock price.

We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares or the availability of shares of our common stock will have on the prevailing trading price of our common stock from time to time. Sales or issuances of a substantial number of shares of our common stock could cause our stock price to decline and could result in dilution of your shares.

We, DT and SoftBank are parties to the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement pursuant to which DT and SoftBank are free to transfer their shares in public sales without notice, as long as such transactions would not result in a third party owning more than 30% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If a transfer would exceed the 30% threshold, it is prohibited unless the transfer is approved by our board of directors or the transferee makes a binding offer to purchase all of the other outstanding shares on the same price and terms. The Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement does not otherwise impose any other restrictions on the sales of common stock by DT or SoftBank. Moreover, we may be required to file a shelf registration statement with respect to the common stock and certain debt securities held by DT and SoftBank, which would facilitate the resale by DT or SoftBank of all or any portion of the shares of our common stock they hold. The sale of shares of our common stock by DT or SoftBank (other than in transactions involving the purchase of all of our outstanding shares) could significantly increase the number of shares available in the market, which could cause a decrease in our stock price. In addition, even if DT or SoftBank does not sell a large number of their shares into the market, their right to transfer a large number of shares into the market may depress our stock price.

Our stock price may be volatile and may fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with our business, financial condition and operating results.

The trading prices of the securities of communications companies historically have been highly volatile, and the trading price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations. Our stock price may fluctuate in reaction to a number of events and factors that may include, among other things:
adverse economic, political or market conditions in the U.S. and international markets, including those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic;
our or our competitors’ actual or anticipated operating and financial results;
introduction of new products and services by us or our competitors or changes in service plans or pricing by us or our competitors;
analyst projections, predictions and forecasts, analyst target prices for our securities and changes in, or our failure to meet, securities analysts’ expectations;
realization of the expected benefits and synergies of the Transactions, or market or analyst expectations with respect thereto;
transactions in our common stock by major investors;
share repurchases by us or purchases by DT or SoftBank;
DT’s financial performance and results of operations, or actions implied or taken by DT or SoftBank;
64

Table of Contents
entry of new competitors into our markets or perceptions of increased price competition, including a price war;
our performance, including subscriber growth, and our financial and operational performance;
market perceptions relating to our services, network, handsets, and deployment of our LTE and 5G platforms and our access to iconic handsets, services, applications, or content;
market perceptions of the wireless communications services industry and valuation models for us and the industry;
conditions or trends in the Internet and the industry sectors in which we operate;
changes in our credit rating or future prospects;
changes in interest rates;
changes in our capital structure, including issuance of additional debt or equity to the public;
the availability or perceived availability of additional capital in general and our access to such capital;
actual or anticipated consolidation, or other strategic mergers or acquisition activities involving us or our competitors, or other participants in related or adjacent industries, or market speculation regarding such activities;
disruptions of our operations or service providers or other vendors necessary to our network operations; and
availability of additional spectrum, whether by the announcement, commencement, bidding and closing of auctions for new spectrum or the acquisition of companies that own spectrum, and the extent to which we or our competitors succeed in acquiring additional spectrum.
In addition, the stock market has been volatile and has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations in the past, which may continue for the foreseeable future. Severe market fluctuations, such as those experienced recently with regard to COVID-19, oil and other commodity prices, concerns over sovereign debt risk, trade policies and tariffs affecting other countries, and those that may arise from global and political tensions or weak economic conditions, have had and may continue to have a significant impact on the trading price of securities issued by many companies, including companies in the communications industry. These changes frequently occur irrespective of the operating performance of the affected companies. Hence, the trading price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with our business, financial condition and operating results.

We have never paid or declared any cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

We have never paid or declared any cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Our credit facilities and indentures governing our long-term debt to affiliates and third parties contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to declare or pay dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to use future earnings, if any, to invest in our business and for general corporate purposes, including the integration of T-Mobile’s and Sprint’s businesses. Therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, and capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be the sole source of potential gain.

Risks Related to Integration

Although we expect that the Transactions will result in synergies and other benefits, those synergies and benefits may not be realized in the amounts anticipated, or may not be realized within the expected time frame, and risks associated with the foregoing may also result from the extended delay in the completion of the Transactions.

Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions will depend, to a large extent, on our ability to integrate our and Sprint’s businesses in a manner that facilitates growth opportunities and achieves the projected standalone cost savings and revenue growth trends identified by each company without adversely affecting current revenues and investments in future growth. In addition, some of the anticipated synergies are not expected to occur for a significant time period following the completion of the Transactions and will require substantial capital expenditures in the near term.

As a result of the delays experienced in the completion of the Transactions and the COVID-19 pandemic, our anticipated synergies and other benefits of the Transactions may be reduced or eliminated, including a delay in the integration of, or inability to integrate, the networks of T-Mobile and Sprint to launch a broad and deep nationwide 5G network. In addition, asset divestitures, such as the Divestiture Transaction and Government Commitments, may further reduce the amounts of realized synergies from our initial estimates.

Even if we are able to integrate the two companies successfully, the anticipated benefits of the Transactions, including the expected synergies and network benefits, may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected.

Our business and Sprint’s businesses may not be integrated successfully or such integration may be more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected. Operating costs, customer loss and business disruption, including difficulties in completing the Divestiture Transaction, satisfying all of the Government Commitments and maintaining relationships with employees, customers, suppliers or vendors, may be greater than expected.

The combination of two independent businesses is complex, costly and time-consuming, and may divert significant management attention and resources to combining our and Sprint’s business practices and operations. This process, as well as the Divestiture Transaction and the Government Commitments, may disrupt our business or otherwise impact our ability to compete. The failure to meet the challenges involved in combining our and Sprint’s businesses, and to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions could cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, our activities and could adversely affect our results of operations. The overall combination of our and Sprint’s businesses, the completion of the Divestiture Transaction and compliance with the Government Commitments may also result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, competitive responses and impacts, and loss of customer and other business relationships. The difficulties of combining the operations of the companies, completing the Divestiture Transaction and satisfying all of the Government Commitments include, among others:
diversion of management attention to integration matters;
difficulties in integrating operations and systems, including intellectual property and communications systems, administrative and information technology infrastructure, supplier and vendor arrangements and financial reporting and internal control systems;
challenges in conforming standards, controls, procedures and accounting and other policies, business cultures and compensation structures between the two companies;
the material weakness in Sprint’s internal control over financial reporting and differences in control environments and cultures, and the potential identification of other material weaknesses while we work to integrate the companies and align guidelines, principles and practices;
differences in control environments and cultures, and the potential identification of other material weaknesses while we work to integrate and align guidelines, principles and practices;
alignment of key performance measurements may result in a greater need to communicate and manage clear expectations while we work to integrate and align guidelines and practices;
difficulties in integrating employees and attracting and retaining key personnel;
the transition of management to the combined company management team, and the need to address possible differences in corporate cultures and management philosophies;
challenges in retaining existing customers and obtaining new customers;
difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, accretion targets, business opportunities, financing plans and growth prospects from the combination;
difficulties in managing the expanded operations of a significantly larger and more complex company;
the impact of the additional debt financing incurred in connection with the Transactions;
challenges in managing the Divestiture Transaction process, the ongoing commercial and transition services arrangements to be entered into in connection with the Divestiture Transaction, and known or unknown liabilities arising in connection therewith;
an increase in competition from DISH and other third parties that DISH may enter into commercial agreements with, who are significantly larger and with greater resources and scale advantages as compared to us;
known or potential unknown liabilities of Sprint that are larger than expected; and
other potential adverse consequences and unforeseen increased expenses or liabilities associated with the Transactions, the Divestiture Transaction and the Government Commitments.
Additionally, uncertainties over the integration process could cause customers, suppliers, distributors, dealers, retailers and others to seek to change or cancel our existing business relationships or to refuse to renew existing relationships. Suppliers, distributors and content and application providers may also delay or cease developing new products for us that are necessary for the operations of our business due to uncertainties. Competitors may also target our existing customers by highlighting potential uncertainties and integration difficulties.
Some of these factors are outside our control, and any one of them could result in lower revenues, higher costs and diversion of management time and energy, which could materially impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, even if the integration is successful, the full benefits of the Transactions including, among others, the synergies, cost
66

Table of Contents
savings or sales or growth opportunities may not be realized, as a result of the Divestiture Transaction, the Government Commitments and/or the other actions and conditions we have agreed to in connection with the Transactions, or otherwise. Further, we have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant costs, expenses and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the Transactions. Additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the integration process and in connection with the Divestiture Transaction and the Government Commitments, including potential penalties that could arise if we fail to fulfill our obligations thereunder. As a result, it cannot be assured that we will realize the full benefits expected from the Transactions within the anticipated time frames or at all.

Failure to complete the Divestiture Transaction could compel us to pursue an alternative divestiture transaction, which we may not be able to complete on favorable terms or at all.

To facilitate the FCC’s review and approval of the FCC license transfers associated with the Transactions, and to resolve the DOJ’s investigation into the Transactions, we committed to the Divestiture Transaction.

If we are unable to complete the Divestiture Transaction, subject to certain limitations, we would be required to pursue an alternative divestiture transaction or transactions. In particular, we committed to the FCC (i) to divest Sprint’s Boost Mobile and Sprint prepaid wireless brands (excluding the Assurance brand Lifeline customers and the prepaid wireless customers of Shenandoah Telecommunications Company and Swiftel Communications, Inc.) (the “Boost Assets”) through a market-based process to a serious and credible buyer, (ii) to offer the Boost Assets buyer terms for a six-year wholesale MVNO agreement with wholesale rates that will meaningfully improve upon the commercial terms reflected in the most favorable of T-Mobile’s and Sprint’s three largest MVNO agreements, and (iii) to identify the buyer of the Boost Assets and submit the negotiated MVNO agreement to the FCC within 120 days of the closing of the Transactions (subject to two 30-day extensions). There is no assurance that we will be able to complete the Divestiture Transaction or any other divestiture transactions on terms that are favorable to us, or at all. Moreover, any such alternative divestiture transaction would be subject to FCC review and approval and could cause the DOJ, other regulators or other parties to challenge the Transactions, potentially resulting in monetary liability, civil penalties, litigation expense and divestiture of some or all of the other assets acquired in the Transactions.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

None.

Item 5. Other Information

On April 30, 2020, we entered into an amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Third Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase and Administration Agreement, dated as of October 23, 2018 (as amended on December 21, 2018 and on February 14, 2020, and as further amended by the Third Amendment, the “EIP Receivables Facility”), by and among T-Mobile Handset Funding LLC, as transferor, T-Mobile Financial LLC, individually and as servicer, T-Mobile US, Inc. and T-Mobile USA, Inc., jointly and severally as guarantors, Royal Bank of Canada, as Administrative Agent, and the various funding agents party thereto. The Third Amendment provides, for a period of up to 7 months, (i) flexibility for modifications to accounts receivable sold in the EIP Receivables Facility that are impacted by COVID-19 and (ii) exclusion of such accounts receivable from all pool performance triggers.

This summary of the Third Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Third Amendment, a copy of which will be subsequently filed with the SEC.

EXHIBIT 10.1 EXECUTION VERSION SECOND AMENDMENT TO THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AND ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AND ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of February 14, 2020 (the “Second Amendment Closing Date”), is by and among T- MOBILE HANDSET FUNDING LLC, as transferor (the “Transferor”), T-MOBILE FINANCIAL LLC (“Finco”), individually and as servicer, T-MOBILE US, INC.

(f) The Transferor shall on or prior to (i) the Original Closing Date, in the case of Initial Receivables, and (ii) the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Receivables, indicate in its books and records and in the appropriate computer files that such Receivables and -54- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
the related Transferred Assets have been conveyed by the Transferor to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners) pursuant to this Agreement. Section 2.2 Incremental Fundings. (a) Subject to the conditions specified in this Section 2.2, the Transferor may from time to time on any date during the Revolving Period request that the Owners make an Incremental Funding and the Owners shall make such Incremental Funding to the extent that the applicable conditions set forth below and in Section 4.2 are satisfied. To the extent an Ownership Group consists of only a Committed Purchaser, thesuch Committed Purchaser shall make such Incremental Funding; and to the extent an Ownership Group includes one or more Conduit Purchasers, each Conduit Purchaser in such Ownership Group may, in its sole discretion, make an Incremental Funding in connection therewith and in the event such Conduit Purchaser elects not to make such Incremental Funding, each related Committed Purchaser shall make such Incremental Funding instead; provided, that no Incremental Funding shall be made by any Owner to the extent that, after giving effect thereto, (x) the Aggregate Net Investment would exceed the Purchase Limit or (y) the aggregate of the Net Investments of the Owners in any Ownership Group would exceed the Ownership Group Purchase Limit for such Ownership Group, and no Incremental Funding shall be made by any Owner in a Reducing Ownership Group or a Defaulting Ownership Group. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (and except as expressly contemplated in Section 2.1(a), Section 2.2(c), Section 2.17, Section 2.18 or Section 2.19(b)), Incremental Fundings shall be allocated among the Owners pro rata in accordance with the respective Ownership Group Percentages of their related Ownership Groups. The aggregate minimum amount of any Incremental Funding shall be in an aggregate minimum amount equal to $500,000 (or an integral multiple of $100,000 if in excess thereof). (b) No Incremental Funding shall be made by any Owner unless: (i) at least four (4) Combined Business Days preceding the requested Funding Date, the Transferor and Finco, in its individual capacity and as Servicer, shall have executed a funding notice in substantially the form of Exhibit G to this Agreement (a “Funding Notice”), and the Servicer shall have delivered to each Funding Agent and the Administrative Agent, a signed copy of such Funding Notice (which may be in electronic form), which Funding Notice shall contain the information contemplated in Exhibit G hereto (and such additional information as the Administrative Agent (on behalf of any Funding Agent) may reasonably request); provided, that such notice requirement shall not apply to any funding to occur on the Original Closing Date or the 2016 Amendment Closing Date; and (ii) on or prior to such Funding Date, all of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2 shall have been satisfied. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including Section 2.2(a) and 2.2(b)), after the Servicer delivers a Funding Notice in connection with a proposed -55- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
Incremental Funding pursuant to Section 2.2(b), a Committed Purchaser (or its related Funding Agent) may, not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time), on the Business Day immediately preceding the proposed Funding Date, deliver a written notice (a “Delayed Purchase Notice” to the Transferor and the Administrative Agent of its intention to fund its share of the related Incremental Funding (such share, the “Delayed Amount”) on a date (the date of such funding, the “Delayed Purchase Date”) that is on or before the thirty-fifth (35th) day following the requested Funding Date (or if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day) rather than on the requested Funding Date. Any such Committed Purchaser (or its Funding Agent) shall also deliver to the Transferor and the Servicer such Committed Purchaser’s certification that it intends to take similar action in other substantially similar financing arrangements (which are subject to comparable funding levels) in which it is involved in a correlative role. A Committed Purchaser that delivers a Delayed Purchase Notice with respect to any Funding Date shall be referred to herein as a “Delaying Purchaser” with respect to such Funding Date, and any Ownership Group containing a Delaying Purchaser shall be referred to as a “Delaying Ownership Group” with respect to such Funding Date. (ii) If one or more Delaying Purchasers timely deliver Delayed Purchase Notices with respect to any Funding Date, the Administrative Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time), on the Combined Business Day preceding such Funding Date, request the Owners in each Ownership Group that is not a Delaying Ownership Group with respect to such Funding Date (each a “Non-Delaying Ownership Group”) to fund an additional portion of the related Incremental Funding on such Funding Date, equal to such Non-Delaying Ownership Group’s proportionate share (based upon its respective Ownership Group Purchase Limit relative to the sum of the Ownership Group Purchase Limits for all Non-Delaying Ownership Groups) of the aggregate Delayed Amount with respect to such Funding Date (not to exceed such Non-Delaying Ownership Group’s Ownership Group Purchase Limit). Each Non-Delaying Ownership Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fund such portion of the aggregate Delayed Amount with respect to such Funding Date, on the requested Funding Date, but in any event shall fund such amount, not later than two (2) Combined Business Days after such requested Funding Date. For the avoidance of doubt, each Non-Delaying Ownership Group’s obligation to fund any portion of the aggregate Delayed Amount under this Section 2.2(c)(ii) shall, as contemplated in Section 2.2(b), be subject to satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.2(b) and Section 4.2, and shall be subject to the limits set forth in Section 2.2(a). (iii) If the additional amounts to be funded by the Non-Delaying Ownership Groups under Section 2.2(c)(ii) are not sufficient to provide the aggregate amount requested by the Transferor in the related Funding Notice, the Transferor may (x) revoke the related Funding Notice or (y) reduce the amount of the requested Incremental Funding by prompt written notice to the Administrative Agent following such determination. (d) (i) If the conditions to the Incremental Funding on the requested Funding Date described in Section 2.2(a), Section 2.2(b) and Section 4.2 are satisfied on the requested Funding Date, there shall be no conditions whatsoever (including, without limitation, the occurrence of -56- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
the Amortization Date, notwithstanding any statement to the contrary in Section 2.2(a)) to the obligation of any Committed Purchaser in a Delaying Ownership Group to fund the amount described in this Section 2.2(d)(i) on the related Delayed Purchase Date except as expressly set forth in this clause (i). On each Delayed Purchase Date with respect to a Funding Date, the Funding Agent for each Delaying Ownership Group shall fund its proportionate share (based upon the Ownership Group Purchase Limit for such Delaying Ownership Group relative to the sum of the Ownership Group Purchase Limits for all Delaying Ownership Groups) of an amount equal to (A) the Delayed Amount for such Delayed Purchase Date minus (B) the portion of payments in reduction of the Aggregate Net Investment made to the Non-Delaying Ownership Groups pursuant to Section 2.8(f)(z) on any date occurring after delivery of the Delayed Purchase Notice for such Delayed Purchase Date but prior to such Delayed Purchase Date, and such amount shall be distributed to (x) first, the Funding Agent for each Non-Delaying Ownership Group, pro rata, based on the relative amount funded by such Non-Delaying Ownership Group pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii), up to the amount funded by such Non-Delaying Ownership Group, such that after giving effect to the funding and payments to take place on such Delayed Purchase Date, the aggregate amount of the Net Investments of the Owners in each Non-Delaying Ownership Group as a percentage of the Aggregate Net Investment is equal to the Ownership Group Percentage for each such Non-Delaying Ownership Group and (y) second, any excess shall be paid to an account specified by the Transferor to the extent that such payment will not result in an Asset Base Deficiency. (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Related Document, the parties acknowledge and agree that an Ownership Group which includes a Committed Purchaser that (i) has timely delivered a Delayed Purchase Notice to the Transferor with respect to any Funding Date and (ii) funds its full share of the requested Incremental Funding (as such amount may have been reduced pursuant to any updated Funding Notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(iii)) on or before the applicable Delayed Purchase Date will not constitute a Defaulting Ownership Group solely due to such Committed Purchaser’s failure to fund its share of such Incremental Funding on the requested Funding Date. Section 2.3 Payment of Cash Purchase Price. On the Original Closing Date (subject to the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 4.1), each Funding Agent, on behalf of its applicable Owners, paid its Ownership Group Percentage of the Initial Cash Purchase Price for the Transferred Assets relating to the Initial Receivables, not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the Original Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Transferor’s account specified by the Transferor in a notice to each Funding Agent. On the 2016 Amendment Closing Date and on each Funding Date (subject to the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 4.2), each Funding Agent, on behalf of its applicable Owners, shall pay its Ownership Group Percentage of the Incremental Funding not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on such Funding Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Transferor’s account specified by the Transferor in a notice to each Funding Agent at least four (4) Combined Business Days prior to such Funding Date. -57- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
Section 2.4 Filing of UCC Statements. The Transferor agrees to record and file, at its own expense, a UCC-1 financing statement on the Original Closing Date and any financing statements (and amendments and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to the Transferred Assets sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed by the Transferor existing on the Initial Cut-Off Date (in connection with the Initial Receivables) and thereafter created or arising in connection with Additional Receivables sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed on each Addition Date, meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary or desirable to perfect, and maintain the perfection of, the sale, transfer, assignment conveyances of its interest in the Transferred Receivables and the other Transferred Assets to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners), and to deliver a file stamped copy of each such financing statement and amendment or other evidence of such filing to the Administrative Agent as soon as practicable after receipt thereof. Each of the Transferor and Finco, as applicable, hereby authorizes the filing of the Form UCC-1 financing statements (and amendments and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) described in this Section 2.4 and Section 4.1(f) Section 2.5 Acceptance by Agent. The Administrative Agent hereby acknowledges its acceptance (for the benefit of the Owners) of all right, title and interest to the property, now existing and hereafter acquired and transferred pursuant to Section 2.1, and acknowledges that the Servicer has delivered the initial Receivables Schedule. Section 2.6 Transfers and Sales; Security Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Transferred Assets to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners) shall constitute a sale of the Transferred Assets by the Transferor to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners) and the beneficial interest in and title to the Transferred Assets sold, transferred, assigned and conveyed pursuant to Section 2.1 shall not be part of the Transferor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Transferor under any bankruptcy law. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such transfer and conveyance did not constitute such a sale or that such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable or that such beneficial interest is a part of the Transferor’s estate (any of the foregoing, a “Recharacterization”), then this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement and the conveyances provided for in Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Transferor to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners) of, and the Transferor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners), a security interest in all of the Transferor’s right, title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Transferred Assets to secure the performance of the obligations of the Transferor under this Agreement. In the case of any Recharacterization, it is the Transferor’s intention that each remittance of Collections by or on behalf of the Transferor hereunder or in connection herewith will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Transferor in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Transferor and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Transferor. -58- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Agreement, the Transferor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners) a security interest in, all of the Transferor’s right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets and each Eligible Interest Rate Cap. Section 2.7 Non-Recourse Nature of Deferred Purchase Price. (a) The aggregate unpaid Deferred Purchase Price for all purchases hereunder shall be payable solely from Collections on the Transferred Receivables available therefore at the times and in the manner provided herein. (b) Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Related Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents, on behalf of their respective Owners, shall not, and shall not be obligated to, pay any amount to the Transferor in respect of any portion of the Deferred Purchase Price, except to the extent of Collections on Transferred Receivables available for distribution to the Transferor in accordance with this Agreement. Any amount that the Administrative Agent or any Funding Agent is not obligated to pay pursuant to the prior sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code) against, or corporate obligation of, the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents, or any Owner, as applicable, for any such insufficiency unless and until such amount becomes available from Collections for distribution to the Transferor pursuant to the terms hereof. Section 2.8 General Settlement Procedures. (a) The Servicer shall, no later than two (2) Business Days following the Date of Processing of Collections of Transferred Receivables by the Servicer (subject to the provisions of Section 2.8(g) in the event of any Outage Day), apply such Collections in the following order of priority: (i) If the Amortization Date has not occurred: (A) first, to deposit such Collections into the Collection Account until such time as the amount on deposit is equal to the product of (I) the distributions anticipated by the Servicer to be required to make the payments contemplated by Section 2.8(d)(i)(A)-(D) and (F) on the following Payment Date, and (II) a fraction, the numerator of which is twenty (20) and the denominator of which is nineteen (19); (B) second, to the extent any Additional Receivables are sold on such day, to pay on behalf of the Administrative Agent to the Transferor a Cash Purchase Price for each Additional Receivable in an amount equal to the applicable Receivable Balance for each such Transferred Receivable (which amounts shall be aggregated and paid to the Transferor in a single payment on each such date); provided, that following any such sale of Additional Receivables -59- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
and remittance of the related Cash Purchase Price(s) pursuant to this Section 2.8(a)(i)(B), no Asset Base Deficiency shall exist; and (C) finally, to deposit any remaining Collections in the Collection Account for application on the next succeeding Payment Date (provided that with respect to the period from the 2018 Amendment Closing Date to the Payment Date occurring in November 2018, any such remaining Collections may be paid to the Transferor on any Business Day during such period in payment of the Deferred Purchase Price so long as no Asset Base Deficiency shall exist before or after giving effect to any such payment); and (ii) if the Amortization Date has occurred, to deposit such Collections in the Collection Account. (b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the Total Distribution Amount, the Owner Distribution Amount, the Transferor Distribution Amount, the Principal Distribution Amount, the amount, if any, payable to the Transferor under the Eligible Interest Rate Caps, and all other amounts required to be paid on the next Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.8(d). (c) Each Owner’s Net Investment shall accrue yield for each Accrual Period at a rate per annum equal to the Yield Rate applicable to such Owner. On or prior to the fourth (4th) Combined Business Day preceding the last day of each Accrual Period, each Funding Agent will provide to the Servicer and the Transferor an invoice showing the amount of yield (“Yield”) due for such Accrual Period (including a good faith estimate for the remaining days in such Accrual Period), which shall be an amount for each Owner during each day during such Accrual Period equal to the product of (i) the Yield Rate for such Ownership Group on such day, (ii) the aggregate Net Investment of the related Ownership Group on such day and (iii) 1/360; provided, however, that when calculating the Yield Rate for any Ownership Group by reference to LIBOR, in the event LIBOR would be a rate less than zero percent per annum, such rate shall be rounded up to zero percent per annum. If any such invoice contains an estimate that does not equal the actual Yield due for the related Accrual Period, (1) the invoice delivered by the applicable Funding Agent to the Servicer and the Transferor for the immediately following Accrual Period shall include, as applicable, the amount by which (A) the Yield shown in the current invoice exceeds the estimated Yield shown in the immediately prior month’s invoice (a “Yield Shortfall”) or (B) the Yield shown in the current invoice is less than the Yield shown in the immediately prior month’s invoice (a “Yield Overage”), and (2) the amount of such Yield Shortfall shall be added to, or the amount such Yield Overage shall be deducted from, the Yield payable to the applicable Funding Agent on the following Payment Date. Yield shall accrue on each day occurring during the applicable Accrual Period and shall be payable to the Administrative Agent (for distribution in accordance with Section 2.8(d), to each Funding Agent), on each Payment Date. The Transferor hereby agrees to cause the Servicer to pay, and the Servicer shall pay, to the Owners entitled thereto in accordance with this Agreement, from -60- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
Collections in respect of the Transferred Receivables and other available amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on each Payment Date, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, all amounts due and payable with respect to the accrued Yield owed to the respective Owners on such day. If any amount hereunder shall be payable on a day which is not a Combined Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Combined Business Day. (d) Total Distribution Amount. (i) On each Payment Date, the Servicer shall apply the Owner Distribution Amount for such Payment Date as follows: (A) first, to pay to the Servicer 95% of the sum of (1) the Servicing Fee for the preceding Collection Period and (2) any unpaid Servicing Fee from prior Collection Periods; (B) second, to pay to each Funding Agent (on behalf of the Owners in its Ownership Group) in accordance with Section 2.8(f), any Yield due on such Payment Date subject to the provisions of Section 2.8(c); provided, that following the occurrence of an Amortization Event or a Termination Event, the portion of the applicable Yield payable to any Funding Agent (on behalf of the Owners in its Ownership Group) relating to the applicable Amortization Rate or Default Rate shall be paid pursuant to clause (vii) below; (C) third, to pay to each Funding Agent (on behalf of the Owners in its Ownership Group) in accordance with Section 2.8(f), the Principal Distribution Amount with respect to such Payment Date and any unpaid Principal Distribution Amount with respect to any prior Payment Date to be used, in each case, to reduce the Aggregate Net Investment; (D) fourth, to pay to the Administrative Agent (for its own account) 95% of any accrued and unpaid fees then due and owing in accordance with the Administrative Agent Fee Letter; (E) fifth, if the Amortization Date has occurred, to pay to each Funding Agent (on behalf of the Owners in its Ownership Group) in accordance with Section 2.8(f), amounts remaining to reduce the Aggregate Net Investment to zero; (F) sixth, to pay any other Aggregate Unpaids (other than those payable under Section 2.8(d)(i)(G) or Section 2.8(d)(i)(H), if any) then due and owing; (G) seventh, following the occurrence of an Amortization Event or Termination Event, the portion of the Yield payable to each Funding Agent (on -61- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
behalf of the Owners in its Ownership Group) relating to the applicable Amortization Rate or Default Rate due on such Payment Date; (H) eighth, during the Revolving Period, to pay to the Funding Agent (on behalf of the Owners in its Ownership Group) for each Reducing Ownership Group (if any), the outstanding Net Investment of such Reducing Ownership Group as of such Payment Date; and (I) ninth, to pay to the Transferor any amount remaining with respect to such Payment Date as payment of the Deferred Purchase Price. (ii) On each Payment Date, the Servicer shall apply the Transferor Distribution Amount for such Payment Date as follows: (A) first, to pay to the Servicer 5% of the sum of (1) the Servicing Fee for the preceding Collection Period and (2) any unpaid Servicing Fee from prior Collection Periods; (B) second, to pay to the Transferor as payment of the Deferred Purchase Price an amount equal to the product of (1) the aggregate amount distributed to the Funding Agents pursuant to Section 2.8(d)(i)(B) on such Payment Date, and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is five (5) and the denominator of which is ninety-five (95); provided, that in the event any Yield payable to the Funding Agents is attributable to any Yield Rate in excess of the Required Hedge Rate, the amount of such payment shall be reduced by an amount equal to (1) the amount of such excess multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is five (5) and the denominator of which is ninety-five (95); (C) third, to pay to the Transferor as payment of the Deferred Purchase Price an amount equal to the product of (1) the aggregate amount distributed to the Funding Agents pursuant to Section 2.8(d)(i)(C) on such Payment Date, and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is five (5) and the denominator of which is ninety-five (95); (D) fourth, to pay to the Administrative Agent (for its own account) 5% of any accrued and unpaid fees then due and owing in accordance with the Administrative Agent Fee Letter; and (E) fifth, to pay to the Transferor any amount remaining with respect to such Payment Date as payment of the Deferred Purchase Price. In the event that, pursuant to Section 6.5(i) and the Control Agreement, the Administrative Agent delivers a “shifting control notice” to the depositary bank at which the Collection Account is maintained following a Servicer Default or Termination Event, the Administrative Agent will -62- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
direct or cause the direction of the depositary bank in connection with the application of Collections in the Collection Account pursuant to this Section 2.8(d) and otherwise as required under this Agreement. (e) On any Payment Date, the Transferor may elect to cause a reduction of the Aggregate Net Investment in accordance with this Section 2.8(e). For the avoidance of doubt, the Transferor shall only be permitted to reduce the Aggregate Net Investment from Collections and other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account. The Transferor may do so as follows: (i) the Transferor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and the Servicer written notice in substantially the form of Exhibit H (the “Investment Reduction Notice”) at least four (4) Combined Business Days’ prior to the Payment Date for such reduction of the Aggregate Net Investment, which notice shall include the amount of such proposed reduction (the “Investment Reduction Amount”) and the proposed date on which such reduction will commence; (ii) on the proposed date of the commencement of such reduction and on each day thereafter, the Servicer shall cause Collections to be applied to reduce the Aggregate Net Investment until the amount thereof not so used shall equal the desired amount of the reduction of the Aggregate Net Investment; and (iii) the Servicer shall hold (or cause the Transferor to set aside and hold) such Collections in trust for the Owners, for payment to the Funding Agents on behalf of such Owners on the Payment Date specified in the notice described in clause (i) above; provided, (A) that the amount of any such reduction (if not a reduction to zero) shall be not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; (B) the Transferor shall choose a reduction amount, and the date of commencement thereof, so that to the extent practicable such reduction shall commence and conclude in the same Collection Period, (C) such reduction shall be applied to reduce the Net Investment of each Ownership Group ratably in accordance with its Ownership Group Percentage and (D) the Transferor shall pay to the Funding Agents (for the account of the Owners in the related Ownership Group), the amount of any Early Collection Fee incurred by the Owners in connection with such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, any such reduction in the Aggregate Net Investment shall only be funded by Collections and any other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and available for distribution in accordance with Section 2.8(d). (f) All amounts payable to the Funding Agents (for the account of the Owners in the related Ownership Group) (x) in reduction of the Aggregate Net Investment pursuant to Section 2.8(d) or Section 2.8(e) shall be distributed by 1:30 p.m. (New York time) on the day such amounts are payable in immediately available funds; (y) in payment of Yield and the Monthly Non-Use Fee pursuant to Section 2.8(d) shall be distributed by 1:30 p.m. (New York time) on the day such amounts are payable in immediately available funds based on the applicable Monthly -63- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
Report delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.12; and (z) in reduction of the Aggregate Net Investment pursuant to Section 2.8(d) occurring after a Delayed Purchase Notice but before the related Delayed Purchase Date, shall be distributed by 1:30 p.m. (New York time) (A) first, to the related Funding Agents for each Non-Delaying Ownership Group, pro rata based on the relative amounts funded by each such Non-Delaying Ownership Group pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii), until the aggregate of the Net Investments of the Owners in each Ownership Group as a percentage of the Aggregate Net Investment is equal to the Ownership Group Percentage for each such Ownership Group and (B) second, to each Funding Agent in accordance with its respective Ownership Group Percentage. All amounts distributed by the Servicer to any Funding Agent shall in turn be distributed by such Funding Agent to the Owners entitled thereto and such Funding Agent shall be responsible for the proper allocation of such amounts among the Owners in its Ownership Group. Any payment received after 1:30pm (New York time) pursuant to this Section 2.8(f) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day (or with respect to Helaba, the next Combined Business Day). (g) To the extent an Outage Day shall have occurred and is continuing, the Servicer shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent (which notification may be delivered via email) of the occurrence of each such Outage Day, and (ii) assume that Collections were received in an amount equal to the prior four-week average daily Collections of Transferred Receivables received on the same day of the week (that were not Outage Days) that the related Date of Processing for the Outage Day should have occurred (each such amount, the “Outage Amount”) and shall make a servicing advance of such amount and treat it as Collections in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.8(a)(i). By way of illustration and for the avoidance of doubt, if the Date of Processing for an Outage Day would have been a Monday, the four-week average referenced in the immediately preceding sentence shall mean the average of the amount of Collections received on the four immediately preceding Mondays that were not Outage Days. Upon determination of the actual amount of Collections received on an Outage Day, (1) the Servicer will reimburse itself for the servicing advance made on such Outage Day from Collections received on such Outage Day or subsequent Business Days, up to the amount actually advanced, (2) to the extent the actual amount of Collections received on the Outage Day is greater than the Outage Amount for such Outage Day, the Servicer will increase the amount of Collections applied in accordance with Section 2.8(a)(i) on the next Business Day by the amount of such excess, and (3) to the extent the actual amount of Collections received on the Outage Day is less than the Outage Amount for such Outage Day, the Servicer shall reduce the amount of Collections applied in accordance with Section 2.8(a)(i) on the next Business Day by the amount of such deficiency. The provisions of this Section 2.8(g) shall apply to each Outage Day, not to exceed thirty (30) consecutive Outage Days. Following thirty (30) consecutive Outage Days, the estimates, Servicer advances and reconciliations provided in this Section 2.8(g) shall not apply and the Servicer shall be required to deposit Collections pursuant to Section 2.8(a) (without giving effect to this Section 2.8(g)). (h) If, at any time, Helaba’s Cost of Funds Rate is more than the Acceptable Differential in excess of LIBOR, then the Transferor may give irrevocable notice to Helaba that -64- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
it wishes to base future payments of the Yield due to the Helaba Owners under this Agreement on LIBOR beginning with the first day of the Accrual Period (the “Helaba LIBOR Election Date”) following the date of delivery of such notice. For the avoidance of doubt, upon delivery of such notice, the Transferor shall not again be permitted to request to base any future payments of such Yield on Helaba’s Cost of Funds Rate. Section 2.9 Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Transferor or the Servicer to (i) any Funding Agent on behalf of its respective Owners hereunder shall be paid or deposited to such Funding Agent’s account for funds transfers specified from time to time in Schedule I thereto (until otherwise notified by such Funding Agent in accordance with the terms hereof) and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall be paid or deposited to account number 920-1-033363 (Reference: T-Mobile Handset Funding LLC) and maintained at JP Morgan Chase, New York, Account Name: Royal Bank of Canada New York (ABA Number 0210-0002-1) (until otherwise notified by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof), in each case, no later than 1:30pm (New York time) on the day when due in immediately available funds; provided, that any payment or deposit received after 1:30pm (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day (or with respect to Helaba, the next Combined Business Day). The Transferor shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to (or for the account of) the applicable Funding Agents (for the account of the Owners in the related Ownership Group), upon demand, interest (but without duplication for Yield) on all amounts not paid or deposited when due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement at a rate equal to the Default Rate. All computations of interest hereunder shall be made on a monthly basis based on the actual number of days in any given month assuming a 360-day year. Any payment to be made to (or for the account of) the Owners hereunder shall be made to their respective Funding Agents on behalf of such Owners as described above and such payment shall conclusively satisfy the Transferor’s or Servicer’s payment duties hereunder.

The representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 shall survive the sales of the Transferred Assets to the Administrative Agent and the pledge of the Transferred Assets to the Administrative Agent. Upon discovery by any Authorized Officer of the Transferor or the Servicer of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.3 or Section 3.4, the party discovering such breach shall give notice to the other parties and to the Servicer and the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days following such discovery; provided that the failure to give notice within five (5) Business Days does not preclude subsequent notice after such five (5) Business Day period. (b) In the event any representation or warranty contained in Sections 3.2(b) through 3.2(j) (x) is not true and correct in any material respect as of the date specified therein with respect to any Transferred Receivable and (y) such breach will have a material adverse effect on such Transferred Receivable or could have an Adverse Effect, then the Transferor shall repurchase or replace such Receivable (each, an “Ineligible Receivable”) on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.12(c) below; provided, that such Transferred Receivables will not be deemed to be Ineligible Receivables but will be deemed Eligible Receivables and such Transferred Receivables shall be included in determining the Pool Balance if, on any day prior to the end of the sixty-day period referenced in Section 2.12(c) below, (x) the relevant representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as if made on such day and (y) the Transferor shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate of the Transferor to the Administrative Agent describing the nature of such breach and the manner in which the relevant representation and warranty became true and correct.

Section 2.13 Retransfer of Written-Off Receivables. -66- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
(a) Receivables Subject to Imminent Write-Offs. On each Business Day, each Transferred Receivable that the Servicer has determined will become a Written-Off Receivable in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies (each such Transferred Receivable, an “Imminent Written-Off Receivable”) shall be retransferred by the Administrative Agent to the Transferor, automatically, and without any further action by the Administrative Agent or the Transferor. (b) Order of Retransfer. The Transferor may designate the order in which Imminent Written-Off Receivables are retransferred back during a Collection Period in a notice delivered to the Servicer and the Administrative Agent. The Transferor may change such order at any time by notice delivered by it to the Servicer and the Administrative Agent. (c) Retransfer Consideration. For each Imminent Written-Off Receivable retransferred pursuant to this Section 2.13, the consideration for such retransfer shall be a reduction in the Deferred Purchase Price payable to the Transferor. Section 2.14 No Warranty Upon Retransfer. (a) Upon a repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to Section 2.12, Section 2.13 or Section 2.15(d), the Administrative Agent shall automatically and without further action on the part of the Administrative Agent transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Transferor or its designee, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent in and to such Receivable, as applicable, and all Related Rights allocable thereto, all Collections with respect thereto, all monies and amounts due or to become due and all proceeds thereof, and such repurchased Ineligible Receivable or Imminent Written-Off Receivable, as applicable, shall be treated by the Administrative Agent as collected in full as of the date on which it was repurchased. The obligation of the Transferor to accept repurchase of any Ineligible Receivables or Imminent Written-Off Receivables sold to the Administrative Agent by the Transferor, and to make the deposits, if any, as provided in this Section 2.14, shall constitute the sole remedy respecting the event giving rise to such obligation available to the Administrative Agent or any other Person. The Administrative Agent shall take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested and provided by the Transferor to effect the conveyance of such Ineligible Receivables or Imminent Written-Off Receivables pursuant to this Section 2.14. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue to monitor the status of all of the Receivables transferred back to the Transferor pursuant to this Section 2.14 in order to determine when such Receivables become Written-Off Receivables and to identify and report to the Transferor and the Administrative Agent any Recoveries thereon. The Administrative Agent shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested and provided by the Transferor to effect the retransfer of such Receivables pursuant to this Section 2.14. (b) The Servicer and the Transferor shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account the aggregate Repurchase Amount with respect to Repurchased Receivables as specified in Section 2.12, Section 2.13 and Section 2.15(d), as applicable. -67- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
Section 2.15 Jump Contracts; Credit Agreement Responsibility Transfers. (a) Prior to the Occurrence of a Jump Termination Date. In the event that an Obligor initiates the exercise of the Jump Contract Feature of a Jump Contract prior to the occurrence of a Jump Termination Date, and as a result an Asset Base Deficiency would exist if one of the actions described in clauses (i) or (ii) below is not taken, the Transferor shall, within two (2) Business Days of such exercise, either (i) deposit cash into the Collection Account in an amount equal to the Receivable Matrix Amount of the related Eligible Jump Receivable immediately prior to the exercise of the Jump Contract Feature, or (ii) replace the original Eligible Jump Receivable with one or more Replacement Receivables having aggregate Receivable Matrix Amounts equal to or greater than the remaining Receivable Matrix Amount of the original Receivable being replaced; provided, that the Transferor shall transfer Replacement Receivables in an amount necessary to cure the amount of an Asset Base Deficiency that would exist solely as a result of such replacement. The Transferor shall cause any such Replacement Receivable to be transferred to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners), and such Replacement Receivable shall be an Additional Receivable and shall be deemed to be transferred on an Addition Date, and the terms of this Agreement shall apply to such Replacement Receivable as if it had been sold under Article II herein without further action from any party hereto. Following this deposit of cash or transfer of a Replacement Receivable (or if no action is required pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above), the Third PartyJump Contract Payment Right relating to the original Receivable that has been terminated shall hereby be automatically reassigned to the Transferor without any further action and the Administrative Agent, Funding Agents and Owners shall no longer have any interest in or right to the Third PartyJump Contract Payment Right with respect to the original Receivable. The Replacement Receivable will be an Additional Receivable for purposes of this Agreement. (b) Following the Occurrence of a Jump Termination Event. Following the occurrence of a Jump Termination Event, the Required Owners will have the right to require that the Jump Contract Feature of Eligible Jump Receivables that are part of the Transferred Assets be terminated by notice to the Servicer. WithinAs soon as is reasonably practicable, but in any event within two (2) Business Days of, following receipt by the Servicer of the original notice from the Required Owners, the Servicer will send (or will cause TMUS to send) notice to the related third party to the Jump Contracts (the “Third Party Jump Payor”) directing the Third Party Jump Payor to send to the Obligors of Eligible Jump Receivables a notice as soon as is reasonably practicable, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days, following receipt of the notice to the Third Party Jump Payor that the Jump Contract Feature will be terminated (the “Third Party “Jump Termination Notice”). The Third Party Jump Termination Notice will provide that the Jump Contract Feature of the Eligible Jump Receivables that are part of the Transferred Assets be terminated thirty (30) days following the date of delivery of such notice (the “Jump Termination Date”). The Servicer and TMUS will agree to terminate (or cause their Affiliates to terminate) the Jump Contracts of the Eligible Jump Receivables that are part of the Transferred Assets on the Jump Termination Date. The Servicer and TMUS shall execute (or cause their Affiliates to execute) such termination documents and take such other actions as shall -68- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
reasonably be requested by the Required Owners. In connection with this Section 2.15(b), TMUS acknowledges and agrees that it shall act upon the direction of the Servicer (including any Successor Servicer) in connection with any termination of the Jump Contracts of the Eligible Jump Receivables that are part of the Transferred Assets on the Jump Termination Date. (c) [Reserved] (d) Credit Agreement Responsibility Transfers. (i) Subject to clause (iii) below, in the event that a Transferred Receivable becomes a Change of Responsibility Receivable, and as a result of such event an Asset Base Deficiency would occur if one of the actions described in clauses (A) or (B) below is not taken, the Transferor shall, no later than the next date on which a Monthly Report is deliverable in accordance with this Agreement, either (A) replace such Change of Responsibility Receivable with one or more Replacement Receivables having aggregate Receivable Matrix Amounts equal to or greater than the remaining Receivable Matrix Amount of such Transferred Receivable immediately prior to the time it became a Change of Responsibility Receivable or (B) repurchase the related Change of Responsibility Receivable in an amount equal to the Receivable Matrix Amount of such Transferred Receivable immediately prior to the time it became a Change of Responsibility Receivable, and deposit such funds in the Collection Account, to be treated as Collections. The Transferor shall cause any such Replacement Receivable to be transferred to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners), and such Replacement Receivable shall be an Additional Receivable and shall be deemed to be transferred on an Addition Date, and the terms of this Agreement shall apply to such Replacement Receivable as if it had been sold under Article II herein without further action from any party hereto. Following this deposit of cash or transfer of a Replacement Receivable (in accordance with clauses (A) or (B) above), the Administrative Agent, Funding Agents and Owners shall no longer have any interest in or right to the Change of Responsibility Receivable. The Replacement Receivable will be an Additional Receivable for purposes of this Agreement. (ii) Subject to clause (iii) below, in the event that an Asset Base Deficiency would not occur as a result of a Transferred Receivable becoming a Change of Responsibility Receivable, the Transferor shall have the option (but not obligation) to either replace or repurchase, as applicable, the Change of Responsibility Receivable under the same terms and conditions set forth in clause (i) above. (iii) For purposes of this Section 2.15(d), the Transferor shall be prohibited from repurchasing or replacing Change of Responsibility Receivables pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above if at the time of such repurchase or replacement, as applicable, and after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Receivables Balances immediately prior to the repurchase or replacement, as applicable, for all repurchased and replaced Change of -69- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
Responsibility Receivables during the past twelve (12) months would exceed 3.75% of the Pool Balance. In the event that such prohibition applies, Finco will no longer consent to (or permit its Affiliates to consent to) any Transferred Receivable becoming a Change of Responsibility Receivable. Section 2.16 No Representation or Warranty. The parties acknowledge and agree that any transfer to the Transferor or the Servicer of any Repurchased Receivable and Related Rights hereunder shall be made without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind by the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents or the Owners other than such Repurchased Receivable and Related Rights shall be free and clear of any Lien, or other right or claim in, of or on such Repurchased Receivable and Related Rights, in each case, created by or through the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent or such Owner. Section 2.17 Procedures for Extension of the Scheduled Expiry Date. So long as the Amortization Date has not occurred and no Potential Termination Event or Potential Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, no more than sixty (60) and no less than forty-five (45) days prior to the then current Scheduled Expiry Date, the Transferor may request that each Funding Agent consent to the extension of the Scheduled Expiry Date for an additional period of up to 364 days as provided in this Section 2.17, which decision shall be made by each Funding Agent (after consultation with its related Owners) in its sole discretion. Each Funding Agent shall notify the Transferor of its willingness or its determination not to consent to such extension of the Scheduled Expiry Date as soon as practical after receiving such notice, and in any event by the thirtieth (30th) day preceding the then current Scheduled Expiry Date (the “Response Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Funding Agent acting only on behalf of any then Reducing Ownership Group or the Funding Agent acting on behalf of any then Defaulting Ownership Group shall have no right to consent (or withhold its consent) to the extension of the Scheduled Expiry Date. Any Funding Agent which notifies the Transferor of its determination not to extend or which does not expressly notify the Transferor that it is willing to extend prior to the Response Date shall be deemed to be a “Non-Extending Purchaser” and each Funding Agent which notifies the Transferor that it is willing to extend shall be an “Extending Purchaser.” If (i) each Funding Agent has agreed by the Response Date to the extension of the Scheduled Expiry Date and (ii) as of the then-current Scheduled Expiry Date, the Amortization Date shall not have occurred and no Potential Termination Event or Potential Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, then, in such event, on the then-current Scheduled Expiry Date, the Scheduled Expiry Date shall be extended to the date selected by the Transferor (or to such other date as may be agreed in writing among the Transferor and the Extending Purchasers) or, if such day is not a Combined Business Day, the next preceding Combined Business Day. If there are one or more Non-Extending Purchasers and there is at least one Extending Purchaser on the then-current Scheduled Expiry Date, then one or more of the following shall occur (in the following order) on or before the then-current Scheduled Expiry Date, and the Scheduled Expiry Date shall be extended to the date selected by the Transferor (or to such other date as may be agreed in writing among the Transferor and the Extending -70- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
Purchasers) or, if such day is not a Combined Business Day, the next preceding Combined Business Day: (i) the Transferor may request that one or more Extending Purchasers (on behalf of their related Owners), or a replacement Ownership Group, acquire by assignment all of such Non-Extending Purchaser’s (and its related Owners’) interest in the Transferred Assets and all rights and obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 9.7(a), subject to (A) the execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement and (B) payment to the Funding Agent for such Non-Extending Purchaser (for distribution to such Non-Extending Purchaser and the applicable Owners entitled thereto) of an amount equal to its Ownership Group Percentage of the Aggregate Net Investment together with accrued and unpaid Yield thereon, their respective Ownership Group Percentage of the accrued and unpaid Monthly Non-Use Fee and any other Aggregate Unpaids then due and owing to such Non-Extending Purchaser and its related Owners; or (ii) if on the then-current Scheduled Expiry Date the Amortization Date has not occurred and no Potential Termination Event or Potential Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, then, on the then-current Scheduled Expiry Date: (A) the Purchase Limit and the Ownership Group Purchase Limit of each Non-Extending Purchaser (each such Ownership Group, during the Revolving Period only, a “Reducing Ownership Group”) shall each be automatically reduced by an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Ownership Group Purchase Limit of each such Reducing Ownership Group (as in effect immediately before such Ownership Group became a Reducing Ownership Group) on such date over the aggregate of the Net Investments of the Owners in each such Reducing Ownership Group on such date, and (B) the Ownership Group Percentage of each Reducing Ownership Group and the Ownership Group Percentage of each Extending Purchaser shall be recalculated as follows during the Revolving Period (only): (1) except as expressly provided in Section 2.18, solely for purposes of making distributions pursuant to Section 2.8(d)(i)(C) and Section 2.8(d)(i)(H) during the Revolving Period, the Ownership Group Percentage for each Ownership Group (including each Reducing Ownership Group) shall continue to equal its respective percentage set forth in Schedule I, which Ownership Group Percentages shall (for such purpose only) remain in effect without modification during the Revolving Period; and (2) except as provided in preceding clause (1), the Ownership Group Percentage of each Ownership Group shall, on any date, equal the percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the Ownership Group Purchase Limit of such Ownership Group on such date and the denominator of which is the Purchase Limit on such date. -71- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
In connection with this clause (ii), any Reducing Ownership Group will be paid amounts owing to such Reducing Ownership Group pursuant to Section 2.8(d) until the Net Investment and any other Aggregate Unpaids of each such Reducing Ownership Group have been paid in full. In addition to the foregoing, each of the Purchase Limit and the Ownership Group Purchase Limit for each Reducing Ownership Group shall, during the Revolving Period, be reduced by the amount of all payments to each Funding Agent for a Reducing Ownership Group which are applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to reduce the Net Investments of the Owners in each such Reducing Ownership Group, and upon payment in full of all amounts owing to the Funding Agent and the Owners comprising any Reducing Ownership Group, the Ownership Group Percentage and the Ownership Group Purchase Limit of such Reducing Ownership Group shall thereafter be zero and Schedule I attached hereto shall be revised to reflect the Ownership Group Percentage of each Ownership Group (which shall equal, for each Ownership Group, the percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the Ownership Group Purchase Limit of such Ownership Group and the denominator of which is the Purchase Limit); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on and after the Amortization Date, the Ownership Group Percentage of each Ownership Group shall be determined in accordance with the definition of “Ownership Group Percentage” without reference to this Section 2.17(ii). Section 2.18 Defaulting Ownership Groups. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time there exists a Defaulting Ownership Group, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as there exists a Defaulting Ownership Group: (a) The Funding Agent acting on behalf of a Defaulting Ownership Group shall not be included in determining whether the Required Owners have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.2), provided, however, that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Funding Agents shall require the consent of the Funding Agent acting on behalf of such Defaulting Ownership Group. (b) On the date on which an Ownership Group becomes a Defaulting Ownership Group (A) the Purchase Limit and the Ownership Group Purchase Limit of such Defaulting Ownership Group shall each be automatically reduced by an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Ownership Group Purchase Limit of such Defaulting Ownership Group (as in effect immediately before such Ownership Group became a Defaulting Ownership Group) on such date over the aggregate of the Net Investments of the Owners in such Defaulting Ownership Group on such date and (B) the Ownership Group Percentage of each Ownership Group shall be recalculated as follows during the Revolving Period (only): (i) solely for purposes of making distributions pursuant to Section 2.8(d)(i)(C) on any Payment Date during the Revolving Period, the Ownership Group -72- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
Percentage for each Reducing Ownership Group (if any) shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.17(ii) and the Ownership Group Percentage for each other Ownership Group (including each Defaulting Ownership Group) shall, on such Payment Date, equal the product of (x) 100% minus the aggregate of the Ownership Group Percentages of the Reducing Ownership Groups (if any) on such Payment Date and (y) the percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate of the Net Investments of the Owners in such Ownership Group (before giving effect to such distribution) on such Payment Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate of the Net Investments of all Owners in all Ownership Groups (other than the Owners in any Reducing Ownership Group) on such Payment Date; (ii) for purposes of making Incremental Fundings, the Ownership Group Percentage of each Defaulting Ownership Group shall be zero and the Ownership Group Percentage of each other Ownership Group (other than a Reducing Ownership Group) shall equal the percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the Ownership Group Purchase Limit of such Ownership Group and the denominator of which is the sum of the Ownership Group Purchase Limits for all Ownership Groups (other than Defaulting Ownership Groups and Reducing Ownership Groups); and (iii) except as provided in preceding clause (i) or (ii), the Ownership Group Percentage of each Ownership Group shall, on any date, equal the percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the Ownership Group Purchase Limit of such Ownership Group on such date and the denominator of which is the Purchase Limit on such date. (c) On and after the date on which an Ownership Group becomes a Defaulting Ownership Group, all amounts received hereunder by the Funding Agent (on behalf of such Defaulting Ownership Group) shall continue to be applied in accordance with this Agreement; provided, that such Funding Agent shall make no further Incremental Fundings (and no such amount shall be applied to make any Incremental Funding). In addition to the foregoing, each of the Purchase Limit and the Ownership Group Purchase Limit for each Defaulting Ownership Group shall, during the Revolving Period, be reduced by the amount of all payments to each Funding Agent for a Defaulting Ownership Group which are applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to reduce the Net Investments of the Owners in each such Defaulting Ownership Group and, upon payment in full of all amounts owing to the Funding Agent and the Owners comprising any Defaulting Ownership Group, the Ownership Group Percentage and the Ownership Group Purchase Limit of such Defaulting Ownership Group shall thereafter be zero and Schedule I attached hereto shall be revised to reflect the Ownership Group Percentage of each Ownership Group (which shall, except as expressly provided in Section 2.17(ii)), equal, for each Ownership Group, the percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the Ownership Group Purchase Limit of such Ownership Group and the denominator of which is the Purchase Limit); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on and after the Amortization Date, the Ownership Group Percentage of each Ownership Group shall be determined in -73- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
accordance with the definition of “Ownership Group Percentage” without reference to this Section 2.18(c). (d) Without limiting the generality of Section 2.18(b)(ii) (but notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement), but subject in all respects to Section 2.2(c), if on any Addition Date a Funding Agent (acting on behalf of the Owners in its related Ownership Group) fails to make its portion of the Incremental Funding (or any portion thereof) on such Addition Date, and such failure is not cured in all respects within two (2) Combined Business Days of such Addition Date, then upon the written request of the Transferor to the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent (other than the Funding Agent which failed to make such Incremental Funding), made not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on or prior to such second Combined Business Day, each Funding Agent (acting on behalf of the Owners in its related Ownership Group) other than the Funding Agent acting on behalf of the Defaulting Ownership Group shall, on the day such notice is delivered (or, if such day is not a Combined Business Day, the next succeeding Combined Business Day), fund the portion of the Incremental Funding not made by the Funding Agent acting on behalf of such Defaulting Ownership Group on such Addition Date, pro rata based on its Ownership Group Purchase Limit as a percentage of the Ownership Group Purchase Limits for all Ownership Groups other than the Defaulting Ownership Group (and any Reducing Ownership Group); provided, that a Funding Agent (acting on behalf of the Owners in its related Ownership Group) shall not be obligated to make that portion (if any) of its share of such Incremental Funding which would, after giving effect thereto, cause the aggregate of the Net Investments of the Owners in its related Ownership Group to exceed the Ownership Group Purchase Limit for such Ownership Group. (e) If at any time the Funding Agent acting on behalf of a Defaulting Ownership Group is also the Administrative Agent, then the Transferor shall have the right to replace the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 10.7(b) but without regard to the obligation to deliver notice at least 120 days prior to the then current Scheduled Expiry Date. (f) For the avoidance of doubt, no provision of this Agreement, including without limitation, this Section 2.18, shall be deemed to relieve any Committed Purchaser of its commitment to make Incremental Fundings in accordance with Section 2.2. Section 2.19 Reduction and Increase of Purchase Limit. (a) The Transferor may at any time, upon at least ten (10) Combined Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent, request to terminate in whole or reduce in part the Purchase Limit (but not below the Aggregate Net Investment or any Ownership Group’s Net Investment at such time); provided, however, that each partial reduction shall (i) be in an amount equal to $10,000,000 or any integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) reduce each Ownership Group Purchase Limit hereunder ratably in accordance with the respective Ownership Group’s Ownership Group Percentage of such reduction to the Purchase Limit. Upon the date specified in such notice and agreement, if the conditions set forth in this Section 2.19 have been met, the Purchase Limit shall be reduced by the amount specified in such notice. -74- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
(b) The Transferor may, from time to time upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent (or such shorter period as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents of the Ownership Groups increasing their commitments), request an increase to the Purchase Limit. Each such notice shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall specify (i) the proposed date such increase shall become effective, (ii) the proposed amount of such increase, which amount shall be at least $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof; (iii) the identity of the Ownership Group(s) (and members thereof) whose Ownership Group Purchase Limit(s) will be increased in connection therewith; (iv) the identity of all Owners in such Ownership Group; and (v) a recalculation of the Ownership Group Percentages which will become effective upon such increase in the Purchase Limit. No such increase shall become effective unless and until (A) the Ownership Group Purchase Limit(s) of the Owners in one or more existing Ownership Groups have been increased by the amount of such increase in the Purchase Limit (or a portion thereof, if such increase is accomplished by a combination of means pursuant to clause (D) below), as evidenced by an agreement in writing executed by the Transferor, the Servicer, the Committed Purchasers and the Funding Agents for such increasing Ownership Groups, (B) one or more additional Ownership Groups have become parties to this Agreement by executing a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Owners and the Transferor, which new Ownership Groups have Ownership Group Purchase Limits equal to the amount of such increase in the Purchase Limit (or a portion thereof, if such increase is accomplished by a combination of means pursuant to clause (D) below), (C) the available commitments of the Conduit Support Providers hereunder or under the applicable Conduit Support Documents of the applicable Conduit Purchasers are increased as necessary to maintain the then-current ratings of such Conduit Purchaser’s Commercial Paper, or (D) a combination of the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute a commitment or obligation on the part of any Owner to increase its Ownership Group Purchase Limit hereunder. (c) The Transferor may, upon at least ten (10) days’ (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents may agree) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly forward such written notice to each Funding Agent), cause an increase in the Purchase Limit, upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the Transferor shall offer each Ownership Group the right to increase its Ownership Group Purchase Limit by its ratable share of the increase in the Purchase Limit; (ii) if any Ownership Group elects not to increase its Ownership Group Purchase Limit pursuant to clause (i) above, the Transferor shall offer such Ownership Group’s portion to the other Ownership Groups, or another Owner in a new Ownership Group; (iii) each new Ownership Group, if any, shall execute a joinder agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Transferor and the Administrative Agent; (iv) no Termination Event, Amortization Event or Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (v) the Purchase Limit shall not exceed $1,500,000,000 immediately after giving effect to any such increase. Schedule I to this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended in connection with any such increase to add each new -75- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
Ownership Group (if any), to reflect the Ownership Group Purchase Limit of each Ownership Group with a new or increasing Ownership Group Purchase Limit. The Transferor shall repay or cause to be repaid through the applicable joinder agreement any Net Investment outstanding on the effective date of any such increase (and pay any outstanding fees due hereunder or under any Fee Letter) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Net Investment of the Owners in each Ownership Group equal to such Ownership Group’s ratable share (after giving effect to the increase in any Ownership Group Purchase Limit pursuant to this Section 2.19(c)). Section 2.20 Protection of Ownership Interest.

Any such delegation or assignment shall not affect the Servicer’s liability for performance of its duties and obligations pursuant to the terms hereof. The Servicer may delegate its servicing duties hereunder to any Person for the servicing, administration or collection of the Transferred Receivables except for its Primary Servicing Duties. Any such delegation shall not affect the Servicer’s liability for performance of its duties and obligations pursuant to the terms hereof.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to Section 6.7, the Servicer or its designee is hereby authorized and empowered, unless such power is revoked by the Administrative Agent following the occurrence and continuance of a Servicer Default pursuant to Section 6.7, (i) to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account as set forth in this Agreement, (ii) to take any action required or permitted in this Agreement, (iii) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Administrative Agent, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Transferred Receivables and Related Rights and, after the delinquency of any Transferred Receivables and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable Requirements of Law, to commence collection proceedings with respect to such Transferred Receivables and (iv) to make any filings, reports, notices, applications and registrations with, and to seek any consents or authorizations from, the Securities and Exchange Commission and any state securities authority on behalf of the Transferor as may be necessary or advisable to comply with any federal or state securities or reporting requirements or other laws or regulations.

Transferred Assets in such Person’s possession reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. (c) The Servicer shall comply with and perform its servicing obligations with respect to the Transferred Receivables in accordance with the Credit Agreements relating to the Transferred Receivables and the Credit and Collection Policies, except insofar as any failure to so comply or perform would not have an Adverse Effect. Subject to compliance with all Requirements of Law, the Servicer, may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies, extend the maturity or adjust the Principal Balance of any Transferred Receivables or otherwise modify the payment terms of any Transferred Receivables as it deems appropriate; provided, that such extension, adjustment or modification shall not (i) modify or alter the status of any Transferred Receivable as a Defaulted Receivable or a Delinquent Receivable, (ii) after giving effect to any such adjustment or modification cause an Adverse Effect, or (iii) after giving effect to any such adjustment or modification cause an Asset Base Deficiency to exist. (d) Finco, the Servicer and their Affiliates shall perform their respective obligations under the Credit Agreements related to the Transferred Receivables to the same extent as if Transferred Receivables had not been sold and the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its rights under this Agreement shall not release Finco, the Servicer and their Affiliates from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Transferred Receivables or related Credit Agreements. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any Transferred Receivables or related Credit Agreements, nor shall it be obligated to perform the obligations of Finco, the Servicer and their Affiliates thereunder. (e) The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt, turn over to the owner thereof any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to receivables not constituting Transferred Receivables.

(h) The Servicer shall take no action in violation of this Agreement which, nor omit to take in violation of this Agreement any action the omission of which, would substantially impair the rights of the Administrative Agent in any Transferred Receivable, nor shall it reschedule, revise or defer payments due on any Transferred Receivable except in accordance -121- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
with the Credit and Collection Policies or in accordance with its customary and usual servicing procedures. (i) Collection Account. The Transferor shall establish and maintain an Eligible Account (the “Collection Account”) for receiving and disbursing amounts in accordance with Section 2.8. The Servicer shall advise the Administrative Agent in writing of the location of the Collection Account. The Collection Account shall be used only for the collection of the amounts and for application of such amounts as described in Section 2.8. The Collection Account will be governed by the Control Agreement pursuant to which the Administrative Agent shall have Control pursuant to the terms of the Control Agreement. If the Collection Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Servicer shall within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of notice of such change in eligibility transfer the property credited to the Collection Account to an account meeting the requirements of an Eligible Account, which is established pursuant to a substitute Control Agreement, and as to which the Administrative Agent shall have Control. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the establishment of a replacement Collection Account and shall provide the Administrative Agent with such information with respect thereto as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. To the extent of its interest therein (if any), the Servicer hereby grants to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners) a security interest in all of the Servicer’s right, title and interest in the Collection Account and all amounts from time to time credited to the Collection Account (including, without limitation, interest, cash and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in connection with amounts on deposit in the Collection Account). In the event there shall have been deposited in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein and so identified to the Administrative Agent, such amount shall be withdrawn from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, and any such amounts shall not be deemed to be a part of the Collection Account. All amounts deposited in the Collection Account shall remain in a deposit account maintained at the Account Bank. On each Payment Date, all interest received on funds on deposit in the Collection Account, if any, shall be deposited into the Collection Account and shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Total Distribution Amount. The Servicer and the Transferor agree to take all actions reasonably necessary, including the filing of appropriate financing statements and the giving of proper registration instructions relating to any investments, to protect the Administrative Agent’s interest (on behalf of the Owners) in the Collection Account and any moneys therein and to enable the Administrative Agent to enforce its rights (on behalf of the Owners) under the Control Agreement(s) relating to the Collection Account. Following a Servicer Default or Termination Event, the Administrative Agent may, or shall at the direction of the Required Owners, deliver a “shifting control notice” to the depositary bank at which the Collection Account is maintained, upon receipt of which notice, such depositary bank will follow the direction of the Administrative Agent as to application of Collections in such Collection Account. -122- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
(j) Enforcement Proceedings. In the event of a default under any Transferred Receivable, the Servicer shall, at the Servicer’s sole expense, to the full extent permitted by law and pursuant to its customary servicing procedures, have the power and authority, on behalf of each Owner, to take or cause to be taken any action in respect of any such Transferred Receivable as the Servicer may deem advisable. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to realize upon the Transferred Receivable as to which the Servicer, pursuant to its customary servicing procedures, shall have determined eventual payment in full is unlikely. The Servicer shall follow such customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of comparable receivables. In no event shall the Servicer or the Transferor, as the case may be, be entitled to make or authorize any Person to make the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent or any Owner a party to any litigation without such Person’s express prior written consent. (k) Direction of Servicer Following Certain Events. Subject to any other more specific terms of this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Servicer Default or Termination Event, the Administrative Agent may direct the Servicer to take all steps and actions permitted to be taken under this Agreement with respect to any Transferred Receivable which the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may deem necessary or advisable to negotiate or otherwise realize on any right in connection with the Transferred Assets. Section 6.6 Complete Servicing Transfer. (a) General. If at any time a Servicer Default or a Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent, or shall at the direction, of the Required Owners, by notice in writing to the Servicer (a “Termination Notice”), terminate the Servicer’s capacity as Servicer in respect of the Transferred Receivables (such termination referred to herein as a “Complete Servicing Transfer”). (b) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 6.6(a), the Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall as promptly as possible after the giving of a Termination Notice appoint an Eligible Servicer as a successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), acting at the written direction of the Required Owners, and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed or has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Administrative Agent shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any Person qualifying as an Eligible Servicer as the Successor Servicer hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Transferor upon the appointment of a Successor Servicer. -123- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
(c) Upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer. In connection with any Termination Notice, the Administrative Agent will review any bids which it obtains from Eligible Servicers and may appoint, or at the written direction of the Required Owners shall appoint, any Eligible Servicer submitting such a reasonable market bid to act as the Successor Servicer; provided, however, that the Transferor shall be responsible for payment of any portion of the Servicing Fee and other amounts paid to a Successor Servicer as servicing compensation in excess of the Servicing Fee and amounts paid to the Servicer prior to the Complete Servicing Transfer. The Administrative Agent shall have the right, at the Servicer’s and the Transferor’s expense, to retain the services of a financial advisor or consultant to assist with the appointment of a Successor Servicer. (d) Transition. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Successor Servicer and the Transferor in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing of the Transferred Receivables. Upon a Complete Servicing Transfer, the Servicer shall within fifteen (15) days of such Complete Servicing Transfer, transfer the Records relating to the Transferred Assets or facilitate the transfer of such Records to the Successor Servicer. To the extent that compliance with this Section 6.6 shall require the Servicer to disclose to the Successor Servicer information of any kind which the Servicer deems to be confidential, the Successor Servicer shall be required to enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its interests. (e) Collections. If at any time there shall be a Complete Servicing Transfer, the existing Servicer will cause to be transmitted and delivered directly to the Successor Servicer, for the account of the Owners, or deposited in the Collection Account, all Collections in respect of Transferred Receivables (properly endorsed, where required), so that such items may be collected by the Successor Servicer. All such Collections consisting of cash shall not be commingled with other items or monies of the existing Servicer for a period longer than two Business Days. If the Administrative Agent (or its designated agent) or the Successor Servicer receives items or monies that are not payments on account of the Transferred Receivables, such items or monies shall be held in trust by the Administrative Agent or the Successor Servicer for Finco’s benefit and delivered promptly to the existing Servicer after being so identified by the Administrative Agent (or its designated agent) or the Successor Servicer. (f) Collection and Administration at Expense of the Transferor. The Servicer agrees that in the event of a Complete Servicing Transfer, it will reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and accountants’ and other third parties’ reasonable fees and expenses, expenses incurred by each such Person, as the case may be, expenses of litigation or preparation therefor, and expenses of audits and visits -124- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398

If any Conduit Purchaser is an Affected Party and such Affected Party enters into agreements for the acquisition of interests in receivables from one or more other Persons under its commercial paper program (“Other Transferors”), such Conduit Purchaser shall allocate ratably such Indemnified Amounts which are attributable to the Transferor and to the Other Transferors to the Transferor and each Other Transferor; provided, however, that if such Indemnified Amounts are attributable to the Transferor and not attributable to any Other Transferor, the Transferor shall be solely liable for such Indemnified Amounts or if such Indemnified Amounts are attributable to Other Transferors and not attributable to the Transferor, such Other Transferors shall be solely liable for such Indemnified Amounts. (b) The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless each Affected Party against Indemnified Amounts, as incurred (payable promptly upon written request), for or on account of or arising from or in connection with, or otherwise with respect to (i) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement or any other Related Document (or any certificate or report of the Servicer delivered pursuant hereto or thereto) to which the Servicer is a party, (ii) the failure by the Servicer to comply with any applicable Requirement of Law with respect to any Credit Agreement or Transferred Receivable, (iii) the commingling of Collections of Transferred Receivables at any time with other funds, (iv) any action or omission by the Servicer not in compliance with the Credit and Collection Policies that has the effect of reducing or impairing the rights of any Owner with respect to any Transferred Receivable or the value of any Transferred Receivable; or (v) any dispute, defense, claim, offset or defense of the Obligor to the payment of any Transferred Receivable resulting from or related to the collection activities with respect to such Transferred Receivable; provided, however, that (A) the Servicer shall not be so required to indemnify any such Affected Party or otherwise be liable to any such Affected Party hereunder for any Indemnified Amounts incurred for or on account of or arising from or in connection with or otherwise with respect to any breach of any covenant set forth herein a remedy for the breach of which is provided in Section 2.12 or Section 2.13 of this Agreement and (B) the Servicer shall not be required to indemnify any Affected Party for (x) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Affected Party seeking indemnification; (y) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in respect of -139- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor; or (z) Excluded Taxes relating to an Indemnified Amount solely in respect of Taxes. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) shall be had only from the assets of the Servicer. The provisions of such indemnity shall run directly to and be enforceable by such Affected Parties. The provisions of this Section 8.1(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. (c) Promptly after receipt by an Affected Party under this Section 8.1 of written notice of any damage, loss or expense in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder by it, such Affected Party will, if a claim is to be made against the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, notify the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, thereof in writing; but the omission so to notify the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, will not relieve the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, from any liability (otherwise than under this Section 8.1) which it may have to any Affected Party except as may be required or provided otherwise than under this Section 8.1, unless and to the extent any such liability is caused by such omission. Thereafter, the Affected Party and the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, to the extent appropriate, with a view to minimizing the cost to the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, of its obligations hereunder. In case any Affected Party receives written notice of any damage, loss or expense in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder by it and it notifies the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, thereof, the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the Affected Party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Affected Party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory at all times to such Affected Party; provided, however, that if the parties against which any damage, loss or expense arises include both the Affected Party and the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, and counsel to the Affected Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, and may conflict therewith, the Affected Party or Parties shall have the right to select one separate counsel for such Affected Party or Parties to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such damage, loss or expense on behalf of such Affected Party or Parties. Upon receipt of notice from the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, to such Affected Party of its election so to assume the defense of such damage, loss or expense and approval by the Affected Party of counsel, the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, shall not be liable to such Affected Party under this Section 8.1 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Affected Party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the Affected Party shall have employed such counsel in connection with assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, (ii) the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, shall not have employed and continued to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Affected Party to represent the Affected Party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, shall have authorized the employment of counsel for the Affected Party at the expense of the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable. -140- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Section 8.1, (i) the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, shall not be liable for any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of any order adjudicating or otherwise disposing of any damage, loss, or expense effected without its consent and (ii) after the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, has assumed the defense of any damage, loss or expense under Section 8.1(b) with respect to any Affected Party, it will not settle, compromise or consent to entry of any order adjudicating or otherwise disposing thereof (1) if such settlement, compromise or order involved the payment of money damages except if the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, agrees with such Affected Party to pay such money damages and, if not simultaneously paid, to furnish such Affected Party with satisfactory evidence of its ability to pay such money damages, and (2) if such settlement, compromise or order involves any relief against such Affected Party, other than the payment of money damages, except with the prior written consent of such Affected Party. Section 8.2 Tax Indemnification. (a) Any and all payments by the Transferor or the Servicer hereunder to any Owner, any Funding Agent or the Administrative Agent (each an “Indemnified Party”) under this Agreement, to the extent allowed by law, shall be made in accordance with Section 2.8 free and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings (including backup withholding), assessments, fees or other similar charges imposed by any United States or foreign governmental authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto, including any related penalties or interest (all such items and amounts being collectively referred to as “Taxes”) excluding any such Taxes that are (i) net income taxes (including branch profit taxes, minimum taxes and taxes computed under alternative methods, at least one of which is based on or measured by net income), franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of income taxes), or any other taxes based on or measured by the net income of such Indemnified Party or the gross receipts or income of such Indemnified Party, in each case (x) imposed as a result of the recipient being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office or, in the case of any Owner or Participant, its applicable lending office located in, the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (or any political subdivision thereof) or (y) imposed as a result of a present or former connection between the recipient and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than connections arising from such recipient having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced this Agreement, any Conduit Support Document or any Related Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Transferred Assets), (ii) any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the failure of such Owner, Participant, Funding Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to provide and keep current (to the extent legally able) any certification or other documentation required to qualify for an exemption from, or reduced rate of, any such Taxes or required by this Agreement to be furnished by such Owner, Participant, Funding Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable, (iii) any Taxes imposed as a result of a change by an Owner or Participant of its lending office (other than changes mandated by this Agreement or required by law), (iv) any withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, and (v) in the case of an Owner, U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the -141- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
account of such Owner with respect to an applicable interest in any Transferred Assets pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (1) such Owner became a party hereto (other than pursuant to an assignment under Section 8.2(d) or Section 8.2(e) hereof), or (2) such Owner otherwise changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to Section 8.2(a), amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Owner’s assignor immediately before such Owner became a party hereto or to such Owner immediately before it changed its lending office (all such excluded taxes being hereinafter called “Excluded Taxes” but, for the avoidance of doubt, Excluded Taxes shall not include any Taxes payable by the Helaba Owners contemplated by Section 8.1(a)(xviii)). If the Transferor or the Servicer shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to an Indemnified Party on account of Collections on the Transferred Receivables, (A) in the case of Taxes other than Excluded Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions of Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes), including deductions of Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.2(a) so that such Indemnified Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) the Transferor or the Servicer shall make the required deductions of Taxes, and (C) the Transferor or the Servicer shall pay the full amount of Taxes so deducted to the relevant taxation authority in accordance with applicable law. If the Transferor or the Servicer fail to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit to the Funding Agent, on behalf of itself or such Owner, or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, shall within thirty (30) Business Days after demand therefor pay to such Funding Agent, on behalf of itself or such Owner, or to the Administrative Agent for its own account, as applicable, any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Owner, Funding Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable, as a result of any such failure; provided, however, that if such Owner, Funding Agent or Administrative Agent fails to provide notice to the Transferor or the Servicer, as applicable, of the imposition of any such Taxes within thirty (30) Business Days following the receipt of actual written notice of the imposition of such Taxes, there will be no obligation for the Transferor or the Servicer to make a payment pursuant to this Section 8.2(a) in respect of any interest or penalties reasonably attributable to the period beginning on such 30th day and ending ten (10) Business Days after the Transferor or the Servicer receives notice from such Owner, Funding Agent or the Administrative Agent. The Transferor will not have an obligation to make a payment pursuant to this Section 8.2(a) in respect of incremental taxes, interest or penalties reasonably attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of any such Owner or Funding Agent or the Administrative Agent. (b) An Owner claiming increased amounts under this Section 8.2 for Taxes paid or payable by such Owner will furnish to the applicable Funding Agent a certificate prepared in good faith setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Owner for such Taxes, and such Funding Agent shall deliver a copy thereof to the Transferor, the Administrative Agent and the Servicer. A Funding Agent or the Administrative Agent claiming increased amounts under this Section 8.2 for its own account for Taxes paid or payable by such Funding Agent or the -142- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
Administrative Agent, as applicable, will furnish to the Transferor and the Servicer a certificate prepared in good faith setting forth the basis and amount of each request by the Funding Agent or the Administrative Agent for such Taxes. Any such certificate of an Owner or Funding Agent or the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Failure on the part of any Owner or Funding Agent or the Administrative Agent to demand additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8.2 with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such Owner or Funding Agent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to demand compensation with respect to such period. Each Owner agrees that it will not demand compensation under this Section 8.2 for amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date of demand, provided, that if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall extend to include the period of retroactive effect. All such amounts shall be due and payable to such Funding Agent on behalf of such Owner or to such Funding Agent or the Administrative Agent for its own account, as the case may be, on the Payment Date following receipt by the Transferor of such certificate, if such certificate is received by the Transferor at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Determination Date related to such Payment Date and otherwise shall be due and payable on the following Payment Date. (c) Each Owner and each Participant agrees that prior to the date on which the first interest or fee payment hereunder is due thereto, it will deliver to the Transferor, the Servicer, the applicable Funding Agent and the Administrative Agent (i) (x) if such Owner is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code, two duly completed (in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Transferor) copies of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8EXP, or successor applicable forms required to evidence that the Owner is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes (or in the case of an assignee or Participant at a rate no greater than that applicable to the related Owner if such Owner is entitled to receive amounts pursuant to this Section 8.2), or (y) if such Owner is a “United States person,” a duly completed (in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Transferor) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor applicable or required forms, and (ii) such other forms and information as may be required to confirm the availability of any applicable exemption from United States federal, state or local withholding and backup withholding taxes. Each Owner also agrees to deliver to the Transferor, the Servicer, the applicable Funding Agent and the Administrative Agent two further duly completed (in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Transferor) copies of such U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8EXP or Form W-9, as applicable, or such successor applicable forms or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it hereunder, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Servicer, the Transferor, a Funding Agent or the Administrative Agent, unless in any such case, solely as a result of a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring prior to the date on which any -143- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
such delivery would otherwise be required, the Owner is no longer eligible as a result of such change to deliver the then-applicable form set forth above and so advises the Servicer, the Transferor, the applicable Funding Agent and the Administrative Agent. (d) Each Owner agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any amount due under this Section 8.2, including but not limited to designating a different lending office if such designation will eliminate or reduce any amount due under this Section 8.2 and will not, in the reasonable opinion of such Owner, be unlawful or otherwise disadvantageous to such Owner or inconsistent with its policies or result in any unreimbursed cost or expense to such Owner or in an increase in the aggregate amount payable under Section 8.3 hereof. (e) If any Owner requests compensation under this Section 8.2, the Transferor may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Owner, the related Funding Agent and the Administrative Agent, request that such Owner assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.2 of this Agreement), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to this Section 8.2) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Owner, if an Owner accepts such assignment), or if such Owner and its related Funding Agent do not consent to such assignment, the Transferor may terminate such Owner’s or the related Ownership Group’s interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that (i) with respect to any such assignment described above, the Transferor shall have received the prior written consent of the Funding Agent for the related Owner and the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) such assigning or terminated Owner shall have received payment of an amount equal to the Net Investment, accrued yield thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder or relating to this Agreement, and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under this Section 8.2, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. The Transferor shall not request that any Owner make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Owner or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Transferor to request such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Transferor shall not be required to make any payment under this Section 8.3 relating to (i) any amount included in the computation of LIBOR, or (ii) increased expenses incurred, amounts not received, or required payments made more than 60 days prior to the date of the certificate of notice of such Additional Costs delivered by the Affected Party to the Transferor. If at any time a demand for payment is to be made pursuant to this Section 8.3(a), the applicable Affected Party shall deliver to the Transferor a certificate in reasonable detail setting forth the amount to be paid to such Affected Party at such time. (b) Determinations and allocations by the Affected Party for purposes of this Section 8.3 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, provided that such determinations and allocations are made in good faith and on a reasonable basis, reasonable written evidence (including an explanation of the applicable Regulatory Change and a reasonably detailed -145- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398

(d) Each Affected Party agrees to promptly notify the Transferor or the Servicer, as the case may be, if such Person receives notice of any potential tax assessment by any federal, state or local tax authority for which the Transferor or the Servicer as the case may be, may be liable pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3. Each Owner and each Funding Agent further agree that the Transferor and Finco shall bear no cost (including costs relating to penalties and interest) relating to the failure of such Person to file in a timely manner any tax returns required to be filed by such Person in accordance with applicable statutes and regulations.

The Transferor and the Servicer agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII as though they were Owners; provided, that all such amounts payable by the Transferor or the Servicer to any such Participant shall be limited to the amounts which would have been payable to the Owner selling such participating interest had such interest not been sold.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, the parties hereto agree that they will be bound by the additional confidentiality provisions contained in Annex C hereto. Section 9.9 No Bankruptcy Petition Against the Conduit Purchasers. Each of the parties hereto hereby covenants and agrees, for the benefit of the holders of the privately or publicly placed indebtedness for borrowed money of any Conduit Purchaser, and any Committed Purchaser that is also a Conduit Purchaser, prior to the date which is two years and one day after the payment in full of all privately or publicly placed indebtedness for borrowed money of such Conduit Purchaser or Committed Purchaser, not to acquiesce, petition or otherwise, directly or indirectly, invoke, or cause to invoke, the process of any court or any other governmental authority for the purpose of (i) commencing, or sustaining, a case against such Conduit Purchaser or Committed Purchaser under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (including the Federal Bankruptcy Code), (ii) appointing a receiver, examiner, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of such Conduit Purchaser, or any substantial part of its property or (iii) ordering the winding up, examinership or liquidation of the affairs of such Conduit Purchaser. Section 9.10 Limited Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligations of any Conduit Purchaser under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of such Conduit Purchaser and shall be payable only to the extent set forth in Section 9.11. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of any obligation of, or claim against, any Conduit Purchaser arising out of or based upon this Agreement against any stockholder, employee, officer, director, member, manager or incorporator of such Conduit -154- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof, against any dealer or placement agent for any Commercial Paper, against any Funding Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Conduit Support Provider or any stockholder, employee, officer, director, member, manager, incorporator or Affiliate of any Funding Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Conduit Support Provider; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve any such Person or entity from any liability they might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions or fraudulent omissions taken by them. Section 9.11 Excess Funds. (a) No Conduit Purchaser shall be required to make payment of the amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement unless such Conduit Purchaser has Excess Funds (as defined below). In the event that any Conduit Purchaser does not have Excess Funds, the excess of the amount due under this Agreement (and subject to this Section 9.11) over the amount paid shall not constitute a “claim” against the Conduit Purchaser as defined in Section 101(5) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code until such time, if any, as the Conduit Purchaser shall have Excess Funds. If at any time any Conduit Purchaser does not have sufficient funds to make any payment due under this Agreement, then such Conduit Purchaser may pay a lesser amount and make additional payments which in the aggregate equal the amount of such deficiency as soon as possible thereafter. The term “Excess Funds” of any Conduit Purchaser shall mean the excess (redetermined daily based on the current available information) of (a) the aggregate projected value of such Conduit Purchaser’s assets and other property (including cash and cash equivalents), minus (b) the sum of (i) the sum of all scheduled payments of principal, interest and any other scheduled amounts payable on publicly or privately placed indebtedness of such Conduit Purchaser for borrowed money, plus (ii) the sum of all other liabilities, indebtedness and other obligations of such Conduit Purchaser for borrowed money or owed to any credit or liquidity provider, together with all unpaid interest then accrued thereon, plus (iii) all taxes payable by such Conduit Purchaser to the Internal Revenue Service, plus (iv) all other indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of such Conduit Purchaser then due and payable; provided, however, that the amount of any liability, indebtedness or obligation of such Conduit Purchaser shall not exceed the projected value of the assets to which recourse for such liability, indebtedness or obligation is limited; provided further, however, in determining Excess Funds, a determination will be made by the related Funding Agent once each Business Day; provided further, however, that so long as there are any Excess Funds, then all amounts reflected in such calculation may be paid on such Business Day if then due and payable; provided further, however, that if there are no Excess Funds, then the payment of any amount which may be paid only if there are Excess Funds shall not be paid until there are Excess Funds. Nothing in this Section 9.11 shall restrict or limit the right of the Transferor to receive or make claim for payments of Deferred Purchase Price to the extent funds are available to pay Deferred Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.8(d)(i)(I). (b) The Transferor shall not be required to make payment of the amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement unless the Transferor has funds available to make such payment. In the event that the Transferor does not have funds available to make any such payment, the excess of the amount due under this Agreement (and subject to this Section 9.11) over the amount paid shall not constitute a “claim” against the Transferor as defined in Section -155- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
101(5) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code until such time, if any, as the Transferor shall have funds available to make such payment. If at any time the Transferor does not have sufficient funds to make any payment due under this Agreement, then the Transferor may pay a lesser amount and make additional payments which in the aggregate equal the amount of such deficiency as soon as possible thereafter. In determining whether the Transferor has funds available to make payment of the amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement, a determination will be made by the Transferor once each Business Day; provided, that so long as there are any funds available, then all amounts reflected in such calculation may be paid on such Business Day if then due and payable; provided further, however, that if there are no funds available, then the payment of any amount which may be paid only if there are funds available shall not be paid until there are funds available. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.11(b) shall not prevent the occurrence of any Amortization Event or Termination Event which would otherwise occur in the absence of this Section 9.11(b). Section 9.12 Conflict Waiver. Royal Bank of Canada, each Funding Agent, each Owner and their respective Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Transferor or Finco or any Obligor, any of their respective Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Transferor, Finco or any Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if such parties did not have the agency agreements contemplated by this Agreement and without any duty to account therefor hereunder or in connection herewith. Section 9.13 Funding Notices and Receivables Schedule. Any references to this Agreement herein shall, wherever applicable, be read to include each Funding Notice and Receivables Schedule, as updated from time to time. Section 9.14 Recourse Limited to Transferred Receivables; Subordination. (a) The obligations of the Transferor under this Agreement are obligations solely of the Transferor and shall not constitute a claim against the Transferor to the extent that the Transferor does not have funds sufficient to make payment of such obligations. The Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each Owner and each other Affected Party acknowledge and agree that they have no interest in any assets of the Transferor other than the Transferred Assets, the Related Rights and other property conveyed to them pursuant to Section 2.1. In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, to the extent the Transferor enters into other securitization transactions, the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each Owner and each other Affected Party acknowledge and agree that they shall have no right, title or interest in or to Other Assets. To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentences of this subsection, the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, any Owner or any other Affected Party either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Federal Bankruptcy Code), then the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each Owner and each other Affected Party further acknowledge and -156- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
agree that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and liabilities of the Transferor which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distribution or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether asserted against the Transferor), including the payment of post- petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. The Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each Owner and each other Affected Party further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 9.14 and the terms of this Section 9.14 may be enforced by an action for specific performance. (b) The provisions of this Section 9.14 shall be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and shall survive the termination of this Agreement. (c) The Transferor covenants and agrees that if it enters into securitization transactions with respect to Other Assets, it shall cause the appropriate documentation with respect thereto to include provisions substantially similar to those contained in this Section 9.14 pursuant to which the Person(s) to which Other Assets are conveyed disclaims (and subordinates) any interest it may have in the assets of the Transferor other than the specific Other Assets related to such securitization. Section 9.15 Integration. This Agreement and the other Related Documents contain the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings. Section 9.16 Tax Characterization. Each party to this Agreement (a) acknowledges and agrees that it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes and for state and local income tax and transactional tax purposes, the interest in the Transferred Assets will be treated as evidence of indebtedness secured by the Transferred Receivables and Related Rights, (b) agrees, except as otherwise required by applicable law, to so treat the Transferred Assets as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes and for state and local income tax and transactional tax purposes and (c) agrees that the provisions of this Agreement and all Related Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties as it relates to these tax characterizations. Section 9.17 Right of First Refusal. Subject to the terms and restrictions set forth herein, except following any Insolvency Event of the Transferor, Finco or the Guarantor, the parties hereto hereby agree and acknowledge that to the extent the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners) has the ability to sell, transfer or assign all or part of the Transferred -157- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
Receivables, the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Owners) shall offer the Transferor a right of first refusal to purchase such Transferred Receivables in cash at a purchase price equal to or greater than the price at which the Administrative Agent could sell such Transferred Receivables to another Person pursuant to a bona fide offer, but not less than the fair market value of such Transferred Receivables; provided, that the Transferor shall be deemed to have rejected such right of first refusal if the Transferor does not notify the Administrative Agent in writing of its acceptance within two (2) Business Days of notification by the Administrative Agent and promptly arrange for payment therefor. Section 9.18 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEAAffected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any other Related Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEAAffected Financial Institution arising under this Agreement or any Related Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEAthe applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEAthe applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEAAffected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEAAffected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Related Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEAthe applicable Resolution Authority. Section 9.19 No Novation. Each of the parties hereto agrees that is their intention that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to extinguish, release or discharge or constitute, create or effect a novation of (a) any of the prior obligations of the parties hereto or any other party, or (b) any security interest or lien granted to the Administrative Agent. -158- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
ARTICLE X. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE FUNDING AGENTS Section 10.1 Authorization and Action. (a) Each Funding Agent and each Owner hereby appoints Royal Bank of Canada, as Administrative Agent hereunder and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. When requested to do so by any Funding Agent or Funding Agents and/or any Owner or Owners (as the context herein requires or allows), the Administrative Agent shall take such action or refrain from taking such action as such Person or Persons, as the case may be, shall direct under or in connection with or on any matter relating to the Transferor, the Servicer or Finco, this Agreement and all Related Documents. In the event of a conflict between a determination or calculation made by the Administrative Agent and a determination or calculation made by the Owners or the Funding Agents, the determination or calculation of the Owners or the Funding Agents, as the case may be, shall control absent manifest error. (b) Each Owner hereby accepts the appointment of the related Funding Agent specified on Schedule I hereto as its Funding Agent hereunder, and authorizes such Funding Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Funding Agent by the terms of this Agreement, if any, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. (c) Except for actions which the Administrative Agent or any Funding Agent is expressly required to take pursuant to this Agreement or any Conduit Support Document, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Funding Agent shall be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent or such Funding Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to applicable law unless the Administrative Agent or such Funding Agent shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Owners of the indemnification obligations under Section 10.6 against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred in taking or continuing to take such action. The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Funding Agent and each Owner prompt notice of each notice and determination given to it by the Transferor, the Servicer or Finco, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each Funding Agent agrees to give the Administrative Agent and such Funding Agent’s respective Conduit Purchasers, Committed Purchasers and Conduit Support Providers prompt notice of each notice and determination given to it by the Transferor, Finco, the Servicer or the Administrative Agent, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Funding Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Servicer Default, Potential Servicer Default, Amortization Event, Potential Amortization Event, Termination Event or Potential Termination Event unless the Administrative Agent or such Funding Agent has received written notice from an Owner, any other Funding Agent, the -159- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
Transferor, the Servicer or Finco referring to this Agreement, describing such Servicer Default, Potential Servicer Default, Amortization Event, Potential Amortization Event, Termination Event or Potential Termination Event and stating that such notice is a “notice of a Servicer Default,” “notice of Potential Servicer Default,” “notice of Amortization Event,” “notice of Potential Amortization Event,” “notice of Termination Event,” or “Notice of Potential Termination Event” as the case may be. Subject to Section 10.7, the appointment and authority of the Administrative Agent hereunder shall terminate at the later to occur of (i) the payment to (A) each Owner and each Funding Agent of all amounts owing to such Owner and Funding Agent hereunder and (B) the Administrative Agent of all amounts due hereunder and (ii) the termination of this Agreement. Section 10.2 UCC Filings. The Owners, the Funding Agents, the Transferor and Finco expressly recognize and agree that the Administrative Agent may be listed as the assignee or secured party of record on, and the Owners and the Funding Agents expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and file on their behalf as their agent, the various UCC filings required to be made hereunder and under this Agreement and the Related Documents in order to perfect and protect the Administrative Agent’s security interest (for the benefit of the Owners) in the Transferred Assets, that such listing and/or execution shall be for administrative convenience only in creating a record or nominee holder to take certain actions hereunder on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Owners and the Funding Agents and that such listing and/or execution will not affect in any way the status of the Administrative Agent, the Owners and the Funding Agents as the beneficial holders of the security interest in the Transferred Assets. In addition, such listing, execution or filing shall impose no duties on the Administrative Agent other than those expressly and specifically undertaken in accordance with this Article X. Section 10.3 Administrative Agent’s and Funding Agents’ Reliance, Etc. (a) Neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Funding Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent or Funding Agent under or in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent’s servicing, administering or collecting Transferred Receivables as Servicer pursuant to Article VI), except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Owner and shall not be responsible to any Owner for any statements, warranties or representations made by the Transferor or Finco in connection with this Agreement or any Related Document; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any Related Document on the part of the Transferor or Finco or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Transferor or Finco; (iv) shall have no responsibility to any Owner for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any Related Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant -160- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any Related Document by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telex or electronic means) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. (b) Each Funding Agent shall determine with the related Owners in its Ownership Group the manner in which each such Owner shall request or direct such Funding Agent to take action, or refrain from taking action, under this Agreement and the Related Documents on behalf of such Owner. Such Funding Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with such determination, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon such Funding Agent’s related Owners. (c) Unless otherwise advised in writing by a Funding Agent or by any Owner on whose behalf such Funding Agent is purportedly acting, each party to this Agreement may assume that (i) such Funding Agent is acting for the benefit of the Conduit Purchaser, the Committed Purchaser and/or the Conduit Support Provider(s) in its related Ownership Group, as well as for the benefit of each assignee or transferee of any of them and (ii) such action taken by such Funding Agent has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of the Owners on whose behalf it is purportedly acting. The Owners in each Ownership Group shall have the right to designate a new Funding Agent (which may be itself) to act on their behalf and on behalf of their respective assignees and transferees for purposes of this Agreement by giving to the Administrative Agent and the Transferor written notice thereof signed by such Owner(s) and the newly designated Funding Agent; provided, however, if such new Funding Agent is not an Affiliate of a Funding Agent that is party hereto, any such designation of a new Funding Agent shall require the consent of the Transferor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such notice shall be effective when receipt thereof is acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, which acknowledgement the Administrative Agent shall not unreasonably delay giving, and thereafter the party named as such therein shall be the Funding Agent for such Ownership Group under this Agreement. Each Funding Agent and its related Owner shall agree among themselves as to the circumstances and procedures for removal and resignation of such Funding Agent. Section 10.4 Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents. Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Agreement: (a) Each of the Owners and the Funding Agents expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Transferor or Finco, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any such Person. Each of the Owners and the Funding Agents represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative -161- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398

Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Funding Agents and the Owners by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Owner or any Funding Agent with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Transferor or Finco which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates. (b) Each of the Conduit Support Providers shall be deemed to acknowledge that neither its Funding Agent (or any other Funding Agent) nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by its Funding Agent (or any other Funding Agent) hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Transferor or Finco shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Funding Agent to any such Person. Each of the Conduit Support Providers represents to the Funding Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon its Funding Agent or any other Conduit Support Providers or Funding Agents and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Transferor and Finco and made its own decision to enter into the Conduit Support Document relating to this Agreement.

Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to any Conduit Support Providers by its Funding Agent hereunder, no Funding Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Conduit Support Providers with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Transferor or -162- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
Finco which may come into the possession of such Funding Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates. Section 10.5 Administrative Agent, Funding Agents and Affiliates. Any Funding Agent may act as a Committed Purchaser, the Administrative Agent, a Funding Agent and a Conduit Support Provider for its related Conduit Purchaser, and the issuing and paying agent for its related Conduit Purchaser’s Commercial Paper and may provide other services or facilities from time to time. Without limiting the generality of Section 9.12, each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and consents to any and all such roles of any Funding Agent, waives any objections it may have to any actual or potential conflicts of interest caused by such Funding Agent’s acting as or maintaining any of such roles, and agrees that in connection with any such role, such Funding Agent may take, or refrain from taking, any action which it in its discretion deems appropriate. Section 10.6 Indemnification. Each Owner (proportionately in accordance with its Owner’s Percentage and the relevant Ownership Group Percentage) other than any Conduit Purchaser, severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not indemnified by the Transferor or Finco), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Sale Agreement or any other Related Document or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent as the case may be, under this Agreement, the Sale Agreement or any other Related Document; provided, that (i) an Owner shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting or arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, and (ii) an Owner shall not be liable for any amount in respect of any compromise or settlement of any of the foregoing unless such compromise or settlement is approved by such Owner or, if appropriate, its related Funding Agent. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Owner (proportionately in accordance with its Owner’s Percentage and the relevant Ownership Group Percentage), other than any Conduit Purchaser, agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Transferor or Finco), promptly upon demand, for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, the Sale Agreement or any other Related Document; provided, that an Owner shall not be responsible for the costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in defending itself against any claim alleging the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent to the extent such gross negligence or willful misconduct is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. -163- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
Section 10.7 Successor Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving at least ninety (90) days’ written notice thereof to the Funding Agents, the Transferor and Finco. Upon any such resignation, the Required Owners shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent approved by the Transferor (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Owners (and approved by the Transferor) and shall have accepted such appointment within ninety (90) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Owners and the Funding Agents, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which, if such successor Administrative Agent is not an Affiliate of any of the Funding Agents, is approved by the Transferor (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and which successor Administrative Agent shall be (x) either (i) a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000, (ii) an Affiliate of such a bank, or (iii) an Affiliate of Royal Bank of Canada, and (y) experienced in the types of transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (b) The Owners, acting unanimously through their respective Funding Agents (excluding the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent and Owner), may replace the Administrative Agent by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent. Any such replacement Administrative Agent shall be appointed and subject to the prior written approval of all Owners (excluding the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent and Owner), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The replacement Administrative Agent shall notify the Transferor and the Servicer of such replacement. (c) The Transferor may replace the Administrative Agent by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and Finco at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the then current Scheduled Expiry Date. Any such replacement Administrative Agent shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Required Owners, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Required Owners have not approved a replacement Administrative Agent on or before the then current Scheduled Expiry Date, the Administrative Agent shall continue to serve in such capacity until it resigns in accordance with Section 10.7(a) or is replaced in accordance with this Section 10.7(c). (d) Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or replaced Administrative Agent, and the retiring or replaced Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring or replaced Administrative Agent’s resignation or replacement hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. -164- 98660380 T-Mobile (EIP) Third A&R RPAA NJ 231109207v1 736153181 19632398


 
Section 10.8 Helaba Funding Agent’s Undertakings Related To German VAT. Neither the Helaba Funding Agent nor any of its Affiliates shall exercise any option (if any) available under German law to have value added tax apply with respect to any supply, for German value added tax purposes, rendered in connection with the sale of the Receivables contemplated by the Related Documents, unless the recipient of such Taxes suffers no disadvantage. In addition to the foregoing, the Transferor, the Servicer and the Guarantor believe that the servicing obligations of the Servicer in connection with this Agreement rendered to a Committed Purchaser located in Germany are subject to German value added tax and that such value added tax should be fully recoverable as input value added tax by such Committed Purchaser.

If the Company or its Subsidiaries cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, and the Grantee has a Separation from Service due to such condition (notwithstanding its cure), then the Grantee will not be deemed to have had a Separation from Service for Good Reason.
        “Performance Period” means each of the Synergy Performance Period and the FCC Performance Period.
        “Pro Rata Fraction” means a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the Closing Date to the date of Separation from Service and the denominator of which is the number of days from the Closing Date through the Year 3 Vesting Date.
        “Workforce Reduction” means the Grantee’s Separation from Service as a result of a reduction in force, realignment or similar measure as determined by the Grantee’s employer and (i) the Grantee is officially notified in writing of such Separation from Service due to a workforce reduction and eligibility for the Company’s severance program under which the Grantee is covered, or (ii) if not covered by a Company severance program, the Grantee is notified in writing by an authorized officer of the Company or any Subsidiary that the Separation from Service is as a result of such action.

3.TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD
The Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) granted by T-Mobile US, Inc. (the “Company”) to the Grantee specified in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Notice”) to which these Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Terms”) are attached, is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Notice, and these Terms. The terms and conditions of the Plan are incorporated by reference in their entirety into these Terms. Together, the Notice, all Exhibits to the Notice and these Terms constitute the “Agreement.” A Prospectus describing the Plan has been delivered to the Grantee. The Plan itself is available upon request. When used in this Agreement, the terms which are defined in the Plan shall have the meanings given to them in the Plan, as modified herein (if applicable). For purposes this Agreement, any reference to the Company shall include a reference to any Affiliate.
a.Grant of Units.
i.As of the Grant Date set forth in the Notice, the Company grants to the Grantee the number Restricted Stock Units (“Units”) set forth in the Notice. Each Unit represents the right to receive one share of Stock at a future date after the Unit has become earned and vested, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
ii.The Units covered by this Award shall become earned and vested in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Notice. Each earned and vested Unit shall be settled on the date(s) specified in the Notice by issuance of one share of Stock on or as soon as administratively practicable (but no more than 60 days) after the date on which such Unit becomes a Vested Restricted Stock Unit as specified in the Notice, subject to the requirements of (i) Section 4 (Withholding), Section 6 (Regulatory Restrictions on the Shares Issued Upon Settlement), and Section 7(m) (Recovery of Compensation) of this Agreement and (ii) Section 17.9 of the Plan regarding a potential six-month delay in settlement for awards to certain Grantees to the extent determined by the Company to be necessary to comply with Section 409A.
iii.Units constitute an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company. The Grantee shall not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Stock underlying the Units unless and until the Units become earned and vested and are settled by the issuance of shares of Stock. Upon issuance of shares of Stock in connection with the settlement of vested Units, the Grantee shall be the record owner of the shares of Stock unless and until such shares are sold or otherwise disposed of, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a stockholder of the Company (including voting rights).
iv.The Grantee may designate a beneficiary to receive payment in connection with the Units in the event of the Grantee’s death in accordance with the Company’s beneficiary designation procedures, as in effect from time to time. If the Grantee does not designate a beneficiary, or if the Grantee’s designated beneficiary does not survive the Grantee, then the Grantee’s beneficiary will be the Grantee’s estate.
v.The Units shall not entitle the Grantee to receive any dividend equivalents with respect to any cash dividend that is otherwise paid with respect to shares of the Stock.



b.Restrictions. Subject to any exceptions set forth in this Agreement, until such time as the Units become earned and vested and are settled in shares of Stock in accordance with Section 1, the Units or the rights relating thereto may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Grantee. Any attempt to assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the Units or the rights relating thereto shall be wholly ineffective and, if any such attempt is made, the Units will be forfeited by the Grantee and all of the Grantee’s rights to such Units shall immediately terminate without any payment of consideration by the Company.
c.Cancellation of Rights. If any portion of the Units fail to become earned and vested (for example, because the Grantee fails to satisfy the vesting conditions specified in the Notice prior to a Separation from Service), then such Units shall be immediately forfeited as of the date of such failure and all of the Grantee’s rights to such Units shall immediately terminate without any payment of consideration by the Company.
d.Withholding.
i.Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, payroll tax or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items owed by the Grantee is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant or vesting of the Units or the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired upon vesting; and (ii) does not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.
ii.Prior to vesting of the Units, the Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all withholding obligations of the Company. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Grantee from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company or from proceeds of the sale of the shares of Stock. Alternatively, or in addition, to the extent permissible under applicable law, the Company may (i) sell or arrange for the sale of shares of Stock that the Grantee acquires to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (ii) withhold in shares of Stock, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of shares of Stock necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue and deliver shares of Stock in payment of any earned and vested Units if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this Section 4.
e.Grantee Representations. The Grantee hereby represents to the Company that the Grantee has read and fully understands the provisions of this Agreement, the Prospectus and the Plan, and the Grantee’s decision to participate in the Plan is completely voluntary. Further, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee is relying solely on his or her own advisors with respect to the tax consequences of this Award.



f.Regulatory Restrictions on the Shares Issued Upon Settlement. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Committee shall have the sole discretion to impose such conditions, restrictions and limitations on the issuance of shares of Stock with respect to this Award unless and until the Committee determines that such issuance complies with (i) any applicable registration requirements under the Securities Act or the Committee has determined that an exemption therefrom is available, (ii) any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange on which the Stock is listed, (iii) any applicable Company policy or administrative rules, and (iv) any other applicable provision of state, federal or foreign law, including foreign securities laws where applicable.
g.Miscellaneous.
i.Notices. Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give to the other shall be in writing and may be delivered personally, by intraoffice mail, by fax, by electronic mail or other electronic means, or via a postal service, postage prepaid, to such electronic mail or postal address and directed to such person as the Company may notify the Grantee from time to time; and to the Grantee at the Grantee’s electronic mail or postal address as shown on the records of the Company from time to time, or at such other electronic mail or postal address as the Grantee, by notice to the Company, may designate in writing from time to time.
ii.Waiver. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
iii.Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Award are superseded.
iv.Binding Effect; Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and to the extent not prohibited herein, their respective heirs, successors, assigns and representatives. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the parties hereto and as provided above, their respective heirs, successors, assigns and representatives any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities.
v.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable Federal law and the laws of the State of Delaware, except with respect to the provisions of sub-paragraphs 7(n) and 7(o) which shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington for employees employed in the State of Washington.
vi.Arbitration. The Company and the Grantee shall make a good faith attempt to resolve any and all claims and disputes regarding the Award or the Agreement in accordance with any dispute resolution adopted by the Company before resorting to any other dispute resolution procedure. If the claim or dispute is not resolved in that manner and involves any rights or obligations under the Agreement, then the claim or dispute will be determined by arbitration in



accordance with the then-current American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) national rules for the resolution of employment disputes by arbitration, except as modified herein. The arbitration will be conducted by a sole neutral arbitrator who has had both training and experience as an arbitrator of employee compensation matters. If the Company and the Grantee cannot agree on an arbitrator, then the arbitrator will be selected by the AAA applying the criteria in this provision. Reasonable discovery will be permitted and the arbitrator may decide any issue as to discovery. The arbitrator may decide any issue as to whether or as to the extent to which, any dispute is subject to the dispute resolution provisions of this Section 7(f). The arbitrator may award only relief at law contemplated under the Agreement and the Plan and the arbitrator may not award incidental, consequential or punitive damages, attorney’s fees or any form or equitable relief, to either party. The arbitrator must base the arbitration award on the provisions of this Section 7(f) and applicable law and must render the award in writing, including an explanation of the reasons for the award. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction of the matter, and the decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding. The statute of limitations applicable to the commencement of a lawsuit will apply to the commencement of an arbitration. The arbitrator’s fees will be paid in equal portions by the Company and the Grantee, unless the Company agrees to pay all such fees.
vii.Venue. Any arbitration, legal or equitable action or any proceeding arising directly, indirectly, or otherwise in connection with, out of, related to or from the Agreement, or any provision hereof, shall exclusively be filed and adjudicated in King County, Washington and no other venue.
viii.Headings. The headings contained herein are for the sole purpose of convenience of reference, and shall not in any way limit or affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement.
ix.Conflicts; Amendment. The provisions of the Plan are incorporated in this Agreement in their entirety. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control. This Agreement may be amended at any time by the Committee, provided that no amendment may, without the consent of the Grantee, materially impair the Grantee’s rights with respect to the Award. The Committee shall have full authority and discretion, subject only to the terms of the Plan, to decide all matters relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan, the Award, and the Agreement, and all such action by the Committee shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon the Company and the Grantee.
x.No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or affect the right of the Company to terminate the Grantee’s employment or service at any time.
xi.Further Assurances. The Grantee agrees, upon demand of the Company or the Committee, to do all acts and execute, deliver and perform all additional documents, instruments and agreements which may be reasonably required by the Company or the Committee, as the case may be, to implement the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Plan.



xii.Personal Data. By accepting the Award under this Agreement, the Grantee hereby consents to the Company’s use, dissemination and disclosure of any information pertaining to the Grantee that the Company determines to be necessary or desirable for the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.
xiii.Recovery of Compensation. In accordance with Section 3.3 of the Plan, the Award is subject to the requirements of (i) Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (regarding recovery of erroneously awarded compensation) and any implementing rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any policies adopted by the Company to implement such requirements, and (iii) any other compensation recovery policies as may be adopted from time to time by the Company, all to the extent determined by the Committee in its discretion to be applicable to the Grantee.
xiv.Restrictive Covenants. The Grantee has previously entered into a Restrictive Covenant and Confidentiality Agreement (or similarly titled document) (“Restrictive Covenant Agreement”). The vesting and receipt of benefits under this Award is specifically conditioned on the Grantee’s compliance with the Restrictive Covenant Agreement except for the Covenant Not to Compete in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement. To the extent allowed by and consistent with applicable law and any applicable limitations period, if it is determined at any time that the Grantee has materially breached the Restrictive Covenant Agreement (not including the Covenant Not to Compete), the Company will be entitled to (i) cause any unvested portion of the Award to be immediately canceled without any payment of consideration by the Company and (ii) recover from the Grantee in its sole discretion some or all of the shares of Stock (or proceeds received by the Grantee from such shares of Stock) paid to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement. The Grantee recognizes that if the Grantee materially breaches the Restrictive Covenant Agreement (not including the Covenant Not to Compete), the losses to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may amount to the full value of any shares of Stock paid to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement.
        (o) Covenant Not to Compete. The Grantee agrees that, during the term of the Grantee’s employment and for a period of 18 months immediately following the termination of such employment, the Grantee shall not either directly or indirectly, with or without compensation: (a) engage in, provide, offer to provide, or assist anyone in providing, services to or for a business, entity or individual that is substantially the same as or similar to the Company’s Business (as defined in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement) or that competes with the Company’s Business, directly or indirectly, in the geographic areas where the Grantee provides services; or (b) compete with the Company, its Affiliates or its dealers within the geographic areas where such entities provide or are permitted to provide services. The Grantee understands that the noncompetition obligations in this paragraph shall not apply unless at the time this Agreement is executed, or at a later date, the Grantee’s annualized earnings meet or exceed the minimum amount required by Section 49.62 of the Revised Code of Washington. The Grantee agrees that the noncompetition obligation contained in this Agreement, if not enforceable at the time this Agreement is entered into, may nevertheless become enforceable in the future due to changes in the Grantee’s compensation.




        (p) Severability. If any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, or excessively broad, the remaining covenants and restrictions or portions thereof shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest degree possible to achieve the purposes of this Agreement and to afford the Company the maximum protections allowed by law, and if the invalidity or unenforceability is due to the unreasonableness of time or geographical restrictions, such covenants and restrictions shall be effective for such period of time and for such area as may be determined to be reasonable by a court of competent jurisdiction.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO
AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Second Amendment”) dated and effective as of March 26, 2020, is hereby made between T-Mobile US, Inc. (the “Company”) and John Legere (“Executive”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of April 1, 2017, between the Company and Executive, as amended pursuant to the FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of April 28, 2019, between the Company and Executive (such employment agreement, as amended by such first amendment and this Second Amendment, the “Employment Agreement”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Employment Agreement provides that Executive shall serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer until April 30, 2020 (or, if earlier, until Executive’s employment is terminated by Executive or the Company in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement);
WHEREAS, on April 29, 2018, the Company, Sprint Corporation (“Sprint Corp.”) and certain other parties named therein entered into a business combination agreement (such agreement, as amended from time to time, the “BCA”, and the closing of the transactions contemplated under the BCA, the “Closing”); and
WHEREAS, in order to support and facilitate an orderly succession of the Chief Executive Officer’s duties from Executive to his successor, the Company and Executive mutually desire to amend the Employment Agreement as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Executive’s continued service with the Company until the Closing, and the mutual covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by both parties, the Company and Executive hereby agree as follows:
AMENDMENT
1.Termination. The Employment Agreement is hereby amended to provide that the “Term” of the Employment Agreement shall end on the earlier of (i) immediately following the Closing on the date on which the Closing occurs or (ii) April 30, 2020 (the “Termination Date”), and to clarify that Executive’s employment with the Company will automatically terminate on the Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 5(b) of the Employment Agreement shall govern the treatment of Executive’s termination-related compensation, benefits and equity awards, including the treatment of all RSUs and PRSUs, in connection with Executive’s termination on the Termination Date.




2.Treatment of Transaction PRSUs. Any provision of the Employment Agreement or the award notice and agreement governing Executive’s Transaction PRSUs (the “Transaction PRSU Award Notice”) to the contrary notwithstanding, all Transaction PRSUs that become earned and vested by reason of, and based upon, Executive’s termination of employment on the Termination Date shall be treated in accordance with Section 5(b)(v)(B) of the Employment Agreement, in the same manner as other PRSUs held by Executive as of the Termination Date (and without regard to any provision in Section 3(c) of the Employment Agreement which would otherwise apply to the Transaction PRSUs upon the Closing), and the “Ending Price” (as defined in the Transaction PRSU Award Notice) for purposes of calculating the actual level of performance of the Transaction PRSUs shall be the average of the closing prices of the applicable stock for the thirty (30) calendar days ending on (and including) the last trading day immediately prior to the Termination Date.

3.Treatment of True-Up PRSUs And Incremental PRSUs. Effective as of the Termination Date, the additional conditions for accelerated vesting of Executive’s True-Up PRSUs and Incremental PRSUs, as set forth in Section 5(b)(v)(C) of the Employment Agreement, are hereby deemed satisfied by the Committee.

4.Peer Group. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction PRSU Award Notice or any other award notices and agreements governing Executive’s PRSUs (collectively, “Award Notices”), if the Closing occurs on or prior to May 1, 2020, then for purpose of determining the level of performance for all PRSUs (including Transaction PRSUs) (collectively, “Executive PRSUs”) in the manner set forth in Section 5(b)(v)(B) of the Employment Agreement, Sprint Corp. is hereby removed from the definition of “Peer Group” in each and every Award Notice, and for the avoidance of doubt, in determining the total shareholder return for the Peer Group during the “applicable performance period” referenced in Section 5(b)(v)(B) of the Employment Agreement (the “Peer Group R-TSR Calculation”), the performance of Sprint Corp. common stock during such period shall be disregarded. For clarity, if the Closing does not occur on or prior to May 1, 2020, the Executive PRSUs will vest as provided in Section 5(b)(v)(B) of the Employment Agreement by reason of Executive’s termination of employment on the Termination Date, with Sprint Corp. included in the definition of “Peer Group” for purposes of the Peer Group R-TSR Calculation (any Executive PSUs that vest as provided in this sentence, the “Base Vested PRSUs”), subject to such additional vesting of Executive PRSUs which may occur by operation of Section 5 below. All Base Vested PRSUs will be paid to Executive as provided in Section 5(b)(v)(B) of the Employment Agreement and in the applicable Award Notices.

5.Additional Vesting of Executive PRSUs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4 above or in the Award Notices, if the Closing does not occur on or prior to May 1, 2020, but does occur on or prior to July 1, 2020, Executive will become vested in an additional number of PRSUs at the Closing, determined as follows: With respect to each separate award of Executive PRSUs, (i) that number of Executive PRSUs subject to such award that would have become vested and earned upon the Termination Date under Section 4 above had



Sprint Corp. been excluded from the definition of “Peer Group” in the applicable Award Notice and for purposes of the Peer Group R-TSR Calculation for such award, minus (ii) the number of Base Vested PRSUs subject to such award. The aggregate of all Executive PRSUs which become vested by operation of the preceding sentence (i.e. with respect to all awards collectively) are referred to as “Closing True-Up PRSUs.” All Closing True-Up PRSUs will be paid to Executive within 60 days following the date on which the Closing occurs. For clarity, if the Closing occurs after May 1, 2020, Executive PRSUs which are not Base Vested PRSUs, and which do not become Closing True-Up PRSUs by operation of this Section 5, will be forfeited on the earlier of the Closing or July 1, 2020. The Award Notices are hereby deemed amended to the extent necessary to reflect Sections 2 through 5 of this Amendment.

6.Payment In Lieu of Office Space Allowance. In lieu of the eighteen (18)-month allowance for office space and an exclusive assistant which is described in Section 5(b)(vii) of the Employment Agreement, the Company shall pay Executive, upon Executive’s timely execution and non-revocation of the Separation Agreement in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 5(b) of the Employment Agreement, a single lump-sum cash payment in an amount equal to $450,000.

7.Board Service. Executive hereby agrees to continue to serve as a member of the Board through the date of the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company to occur following the Termination Date, without any additional compensation therefor.

8.Miscellaneous.

a.The Company shall pay directly or reimburse Executive for (at the Company’s election) the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the Executive’s collection of his personal belongings from the Company’s Bellevue, Washington offices and the winding up of his affairs in the greater Bellevue, Washington area (including the costs of one round-trip by Executive to the Bellevue, Washington area for such purpose, which travel shall be consistent with the past travel method(s) utilized by Executive for business travel), subject to Executive’s reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If so requested by Executive, then in lieu of the foregoing payment or reimbursement, the Company shall mail or otherwise deliver (at the Company’s sole expense) any such personal belongings located at the Company’s offices to Executive at his home address. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive shall be solely liable for any taxes (if any) arising in connection with the foregoing.

b.This Second Amendment shall be and hereby is incorporated into and forms a part of the Employment Agreement.

c.Except as expressly provided herein, all terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

The Grantee must accept this Agreement electronically pursuant to the online acceptance procedure established by the Company within 90 days after the Agreement is presented to the Grantee for review. If the Grantee fails to accept the Award within such 90-day period, the Company may, in its sole discretion, rescind the Award in its entirety.

1.EXHIBIT A
Separation from Service and Change in Control
(i)Impact of Separation from Service; Change in Control. If the Grantee has a Separation from Service before any of the vesting date(s) specified under “Vesting Schedule” in the Notice, then any unearned Restricted Stock Units shall become earned and vested or be canceled depending on the reason for Separation from Service as follows.
(1)Death or Disability. If the Grantee has a Separation from Service due to the Grantee’s death or Disability, any unearned Restricted Stock Units shall become immediately earned and vested as of the date of such Separation from Service.
(2)Workforce Reduction or Divestiture. If the Grantee has a Separation from Service as a result of a Workforce Reduction or Divestiture, then the unearned Restricted Stock Units otherwise scheduled to become earned and vested at the next scheduled vesting date specified under “Vesting Schedule” in the Notice shall become immediately earned and vested as of the date of such Separation from Service and any remaining unearned Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately canceled as of that date; provided, however, that the Grantee will not be eligible to receive any vesting of the Restricted Stock Units under this paragraph (a)(ii) unless the Grantee executes all documents required under the applicable Company severance program or otherwise, including without limitation any required release of claims, within the applicable time frames set forth in such documents or as prescribed by the Company. In the event the Grantee fails to execute all required documents in a timely fashion, if any portion of the Award has been earned or paid to the Grantee after the Separation from Service but before the Grantee’s failure to execute all required documents, the Grantee covenants and agrees that the Grantee will have no right, title or interest in such amount earned or paid and that the Grantee will cause such amount to be returned immediately to the Company upon notice.
(3)[For Mr. Sievert only, clause (ii) is replaced in its entirety with the following: Without Cause or For Good Reason. If the Grantee has a Separation from Service (other than as provided in section (a)(iii) below) either (1) by action of the Company for any reason other than Cause (including due to non-renewal of Grantee’s Employment Agreement with the Company dated November 15, 2019, as amended from time to time, or any successor agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) by notice given by the Company, but excluding due to the Grantee’s death or Disability) or (2) for Good Reason, then any unearned Restricted Stock Units shall become immediately earned and vested as of the date of such Separation from Service; provided, however, that the Grantee will not be eligible to receive any vesting of the Restricted Stock Units under this paragraph (a)(ii) unless the Grantee executes all documents required under the Employment Agreement, including without limitation, any required release of claims, within the applicable time frames set forth in the Employment Agreement. In the event the Grantee fails to execute all required documents in a timely fashion, if any portion of the Award has been earned or paid to the Grantee after the Separation from Service but before the Grantee’s failure to execute all required documents, the Grantee covenants and agrees that the Grantee will have no right, title or interest in such amount earned or paid and that the Grantee will cause such amount to be returned immediately to the Company upon notice.]





(4)Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary but subject to the provisions of Section 15.3.1(i) of the Plan, if (A) a Change in Control occurs and (B) on or after the Change in Control and on or before the first anniversary of the Change in Control either (1) the Grantee has a Separation from Service by action of the Company or the Grantee’s employing Subsidiary for any reason other than Cause ([For Mr. Sievert only: including due to non-renewal of the Employment Agreement by notice given by the Company, but] excluding due to the Grantee’s death or Disability) or (2) the Grantee has a Separation from Service for Good Reason, then any unearned Restricted Stock Units shall become immediately earned and vested as of the date of such Separation from Service.
(5)Any other Separation from Service. If the Grantee has a Separation from Service for any reason other than as specified in subparagraphs (i), (ii) or (iii) above, any Restricted Stock Units that were not already earned and vested pursuant to the schedule specified under “Vesting Schedule” in the Notice as of the date of the Separation from Service shall be immediately canceled as of the date of Separation from Service.

2.TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD
The Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) granted by T-Mobile US, Inc. (the “Company”) to the Grantee specified in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Notice”) to which these Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Terms”) are attached, is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Notice, and these Terms. The terms and conditions of the Plan are incorporated by reference in their entirety into these Terms. Together, the Notice, all Exhibits to the Notice and these Terms constitute the “Agreement.” A Prospectus describing the Plan has been delivered to the Grantee. The Plan itself is available upon request. When used in this Agreement, the terms which are defined in the Plan shall have the meanings given to them in the Plan, as modified herein (if applicable). For purposes this Agreement, any reference to the Company shall include a reference to any Affiliate.
a.Grant of Units.
i.As of the Grant Date set forth in the Notice, the Company grants to the Grantee the number Restricted Stock Units (“Units”) set forth in the Notice. Each Unit represents the right to receive one share of Stock at a future date after the Unit has become earned and vested, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
ii.The Units covered by this Award shall become earned and vested in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Notice. Except as otherwise provided by a deferral election pursuant to Section 1(f) below, each earned and vested Unit shall be settled on the date(s) specified in the Notice by issuance of one share of Stock on or as soon as administratively practicable (but no more than 60 days) after the applicable vesting and/or settlement date specified in the Notice, subject to the requirements of (i) Section 4 (Withholding), Section 6 (Regulatory Restrictions on the Shares Issued Upon Settlement), and Section 7(m) (Recovery of Compensation) of this Agreement and (ii) Section 17.9 of the Plan regarding a potential six-month delay in settlement for awards to certain Grantees to the extent determined by the Company to be necessary to comply with Section 409A. If the Grantee elects to defer issuance of shares of Stock in settlement of earned and vested Units pursuant to Section 1(f) below, each earned and vested Unit shall be settled in accordance with such deferral.
iii.Units constitute an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company. The Grantee shall not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Stock underlying the Units unless and until the Units become earned and vested and are settled by the issuance of shares of Stock. Upon issuance of shares of Stock in connection with the settlement of vested Units, the Grantee shall be the record owner of the shares of Stock unless and until such shares are sold or otherwise disposed of, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a stockholder of the Company (including voting rights).
iv.The Grantee may designate a beneficiary to receive payment in connection with the Units in the event of the Grantee’s death in accordance with the Company’s beneficiary designation procedures, as in effect from time to time. If the Grantee does not designate a beneficiary, or if



the Grantee’s designated beneficiary does not survive the Grantee, then the Grantee’s beneficiary will be the Grantee’s estate.
v.The Units shall not entitle the Grantee to receive any dividend equivalents with respect to any cash dividend that is otherwise paid with respect to shares of the Stock.
        (f) Subject to Section 17.9 of the Plan, the Grantee may elect to defer delivery of the shares of Stock that otherwise would be due by virtue of the satisfaction of the requirements for distribution of the shares of Stock under the Award in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (as amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2014 and as may be further amended from time to time), any successor plan or any other deferred compensation arrangement.

b.Restrictions. Subject to any exceptions set forth in this Agreement, until such time as the Units become earned and vested and are settled in shares of Stock in accordance with Section 1, the Units or the rights relating thereto may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Grantee. Any attempt to assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the Units or the rights relating thereto shall be wholly ineffective and, if any such attempt is made, the Units will be forfeited by the Grantee and all of the Grantee’s rights to such Units shall immediately terminate without any payment of consideration by the Company.
c.Cancellation of Rights. If any portion of the Units fail to become earned and vested (for example, because the Grantee fails to satisfy the vesting conditions specified in the Notice prior to a Separation from Service), then such Units shall be immediately forfeited as of the date of such failure and all of the Grantee’s rights to such Units shall immediately terminate without any payment of consideration by the Company.
d.Withholding.
i.Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, payroll tax or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items owed by the Grantee is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant or vesting of the Units or the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired upon vesting; and (ii) does not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.
ii.Prior to vesting of the Units, the Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all withholding obligations of the Company. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Grantee from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company or from proceeds of the sale of the shares of Stock. Alternatively, or in addition, to the extent permissible under applicable law, the Company may (i) sell or arrange for the sale of shares of Stock that the Grantee acquires to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-



Related Items, and/or (ii) withhold in shares of Stock, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of shares of Stock necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue and deliver shares of Stock in payment of any earned and vested Units if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this Section 4.
e.Grantee Representations. The Grantee hereby represents to the Company that the Grantee has read and fully understands the provisions of this Agreement, the Prospectus and the Plan, and the Grantee’s decision to participate in the Plan is completely voluntary. Further, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee is relying solely on his or her own advisors with respect to the tax consequences of this Award.
f.Regulatory Restrictions on the Shares Issued Upon Settlement. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Committee shall have the sole discretion to impose such conditions, restrictions and limitations on the issuance of shares of Stock with respect to this Award unless and until the Committee determines that such issuance complies with (i) any applicable registration requirements under the Securities Act or the Committee has determined that an exemption therefrom is available, (ii) any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange on which the Stock is listed, (iii) any applicable Company policy or administrative rules, and (iv) any other applicable provision of state, federal or foreign law, including foreign securities laws where applicable.
g.Miscellaneous.
i.Notices. Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give to the other shall be in writing and may be delivered personally, by intraoffice mail, by fax, by electronic mail or other electronic means, or via a postal service, postage prepaid, to such electronic mail or postal address and directed to such person as the Company may notify the Grantee from time to time; and to the Grantee at the Grantee’s electronic mail or postal address as shown on the records of the Company from time to time, or at such other electronic mail or postal address as the Grantee, by notice to the Company, may designate in writing from time to time.
ii.Waiver. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
iii.Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Award are superseded [For Mr. Sievert only: , including without limitation, any provisions of the Employment Agreement that would otherwise apply to the Award.]



iv.Binding Effect; Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and to the extent not prohibited herein, their respective heirs, successors, assigns and representatives. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the parties hereto and as provided above, their respective heirs, successors, assigns and representatives any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities.
v.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable Federal law and the laws of the State of Delaware,. except with respect to the provisions of sub-paragraphs 7(n) and 7(o) which shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington for employees employed in the State of Washington. [For Mr. Sievert only: delete “for employees employed in the State of Washington”]
vi.Arbitration. The Company and the Grantee shall make a good faith attempt to resolve any and all claims and disputes regarding the Award or the Agreement in accordance with any dispute resolution adopted by the Company before resorting to any other dispute resolution procedure. If the claim or dispute is not resolved in that manner and involves any rights or obligations under the Agreement, then the claim or dispute will be determined by arbitration in accordance with the then-current American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) national rules for the resolution of employment disputes by arbitration, except as modified herein. The arbitration will be conducted by a sole neutral arbitrator who has had both training and experience as an arbitrator of employee compensation matters. If the Company and the Grantee cannot agree on an arbitrator, then the arbitrator will be selected by the AAA applying the criteria in this provision. Reasonable discovery will be permitted and the arbitrator may decide any issue as to discovery. The arbitrator may decide any issue as to whether or as to the extent to which, any dispute is subject to the dispute resolution provisions of this Section 7(f). The arbitrator may award only relief at law contemplated under the Agreement and the Plan and the arbitrator may not award incidental, consequential or punitive damages, attorney’s fees or any form or equitable relief, to either party. The arbitrator must base the arbitration award on the provisions of this Section 7(f) and applicable law and must render the award in writing, including an explanation of the reasons for the award. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction of the matter, and the decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding. The statute of limitations applicable to the commencement of a lawsuit will apply to the commencement of an arbitration. The arbitrator’s fees will be paid in equal portions by the Company and the Grantee, unless the Company agrees to pay all such fees.
vii.Venue. Any arbitration, legal or equitable action or any proceeding arising directly, indirectly, or otherwise in connection with, out of, related to or from the Agreement, or any provision hereof, shall exclusively be filed and adjudicated in King County, Washington and no other venue.
viii.Headings. The headings contained herein are for the sole purpose of convenience of reference, and shall not in any way limit or affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement.



ix.Conflicts; Amendment. The provisions of the Plan are incorporated in this Agreement in their entirety. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control. This Agreement may be amended at any time by the Committee, provided that no amendment may, without the consent of the Grantee, materially impair the Grantee’s rights with respect to the Award. The Committee shall have full authority and discretion, subject only to the terms of the Plan, to decide all matters relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan, the Award, and the Agreement, and all such action by the Committee shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon the Company and the Grantee.
x.No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or affect the right of the Company to terminate the Grantee’s employment or service at any time.
xi.Further Assurances. The Grantee agrees, upon demand of the Company or the Committee, to do all acts and execute, deliver and perform all additional documents, instruments and agreements which may be reasonably required by the Company or the Committee, as the case may be, to implement the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Plan.
xii.Personal Data. By accepting the Award under this Agreement, the Grantee hereby consents to the Company’s use, dissemination and disclosure of any information pertaining to the Grantee that the Company determines to be necessary or desirable for the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.
xiii.Recovery of Compensation. In accordance with Section 3.3 of the Plan, the Award is subject to the requirements of (i) Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (regarding recovery of erroneously awarded compensation) and any implementing rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any policies adopted by the Company to implement such requirements, and (iii) any other compensation recovery policies as may be adopted from time to time by the Company, all to the extent determined by the Committee in its discretion to be applicable to the Grantee.
xiv.Restrictive Covenants. The Grantee has previously entered into a Restrictive Covenant and Confidentiality Agreement (or similarly titled document) (“Restrictive Covenant Agreement”). The vesting and receipt of benefits under this Award is specifically conditioned on the Grantee’s compliance with the Restrictive Covenant Agreement except for the Covenant Not to Compete in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement. To the extent allowed by and consistent with applicable law and any applicable limitations period, if it is determined at any time that the Grantee has materially breached the Restrictive Covenant Agreement (not including the Covenant Not to Compete),, the Company will be entitled to (i) cause any unvested portion of the Award to be immediately canceled without any payment of consideration by the Company and (ii) recover from the Grantee in its sole discretion some or all of the shares of Stock (or proceeds received by the Grantee from such shares of Stock) paid to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement. The Grantee recognizes that if the Grantee materially breaches the Restrictive Covenant Agreement (not including the Covenant Not to Compete),, the losses to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may amount to the full value of any shares of Stock paid to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement.



xv.Covenant Not to Compete. Employee agrees that, during the term of Employee’s employment and for a period of one year [For Mr. Sievert only: replace “one year” with “18 months”] immediately following the termination of such employment, Employee shall not either directly or indirectly, with or without compensation: (a) engage in, provide, offer to provide, or assist anyone in providing, services to or for a business, entity or individual that is substantially the same as or similar to Employer’s Business or that competes with Employer’s Business, directly or indirectly, in the geographic areas where Employer provides services; or (b) compete with Employer, its Affiliates or its dealers within the geographic areas where such entities provide or are permitted to provide services. Employee understands that the noncompetition obligations in this paragraph shall not apply unless at the time this Agreement is executed, or at a later date, Employee’s annualized earnings meet or exceed the minimum amount required by RCW 49.62. Employee agrees that the noncompetition obligation contained in this Agreement, if not enforceable at the time this Agreement is entered into, may nevertheless become enforceable in the future due to changes in Employee’s compensation.

xvi.Severability. If any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, or excessively broad, the remaining covenants and restrictions or portions thereof shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest degree possible to achieve the purposes of this Agreement and to afford Employer the maximum protections allowed by law, and if the invalidity or unenforceability is due to the unreasonableness of time or geographical restrictions, such covenants and restrictions shall be effective for such period of time and for such area as may be determined to be reasonable by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(2)Workforce Reduction or Divestiture.

In the event the Grantee fails to execute all required documents in a timely fashion, if any portion of the Award has been earned or paid to the Grantee after the Separation from Service but before the Grantee’s failure to execute all required documents, the Grantee covenants and agrees that the Grantee will have no right, title or interest in such amount earned or paid and that the Grantee will cause such amount to be returned immediately to the Company upon notice.

        -4- 


number of Restricted Stock Units by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of days from the date of such Separation from Service through the end of the Performance Period and the denominator of which equals the total number of days in the Performance Period, shall become immediately earned and vested as of the Release Effective Date at the greater of (x) the actual level of performance under Exhibit A determined as if the Performance Period had ended as of the last trading day immediately preceding the Grantee’s Separation from Service and (y) target; provided, however, that the Grantee will not be eligible to receive any vesting of the Restricted Stock Units under this paragraph (a)(ii) unless the Grantee executes all documents required under the Employment Agreement, including without limitation, any required release of claims, within the applicable time frames set forth in the Employment Agreement.

[For Mr. Sievert only, section “(iv) Change in Control” is omitted in its entirety.]

(5)Any other Separation from Service. If the Grantee has a Separation from Service for any reason other than as specified in subparagraphs (a)(i), (ii) or (iii) above before the vesting date specified under “Time-Vesting Conditions” in the Notice, the Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately canceled as of the date of such Separation from Service.
(ii)Impact of Continuation of Service After Change in Control.

3.TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD
The Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) granted by T-Mobile US, Inc. (the “Company”) to the Grantee specified in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Notice”) to which these Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Terms”) are attached, is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Notice, and these Terms. The terms and conditions of the Plan are incorporated by reference in their entirety into these Terms. Together, the Notice, all Exhibits to the Notice and these Terms constitute the “Agreement.” A Prospectus describing the Plan has been delivered to the Grantee. The Plan itself is available upon request. When used in this Agreement, the terms which are defined in the Plan shall have the meanings given to them in the Plan, as modified herein (if applicable). For purposes this Agreement, any reference to the Company shall include a reference to any Affiliate.
a.Grant of Units.
i.As of the Grant Date set forth in the Notice, the Company grants to the Grantee the number Restricted Stock Units (“Units”) set forth in the Notice. Each Unit represents the right to receive one share of Stock at a future date after the Unit has become earned and vested, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
ii.The Units covered by this Award shall become earned and vested in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Notice. Except as otherwise provided by a deferral election pursuant to Section 1(f) below, each earned and vested Unit shall be settled on the date(s) specified in the Notice by issuance of one share of Stock on or as soon as administratively practicable (but no more than 60 days) after the applicable vesting and/or settlement date specified in the Notice, subject to the requirements of (i) Section 4 (Withholding), Section 6 (Regulatory Restrictions on the Shares Issued Upon Settlement), and Section 7(m) (Recovery of Compensation) of this Agreement and (ii) Section 17.9 of the Plan regarding a potential six-month delay in settlement for awards to certain Grantees to the extent determined by the Company to be necessary to comply with Section 409A. If the Grantee elects to defer issuance of shares of Stock in settlement of earned and vested Units pursuant to Section 1(f) below, each earned and vested Unit shall be settled in accordance with such deferral.
iii.Units constitute an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company. The Grantee shall not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Stock underlying the Units unless and until the Units become earned and vested and are settled by the issuance of shares of Stock. Upon issuance of shares of Stock in connection with the settlement of vested Units, the Grantee shall be the record owner of the shares of Stock unless and until such shares are sold or otherwise disposed of, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a stockholder of the Company (including voting rights).
iv.The Grantee may designate a beneficiary to receive payment in connection with the Units in the event of the Grantee’s death in accordance with the Company’s beneficiary designation procedures, as in effect from time to time. If the Grantee does not designate a beneficiary, or if the Grantee’s designated beneficiary does not survive the Grantee, then the Grantee’s beneficiary will be the Grantee’s estate.



v.The Units shall not entitle the Grantee to receive any dividend equivalents with respect to any cash dividend that is otherwise paid with respect to shares of the Stock.
(f) Subject to Section 17.9 of the Plan, the Grantee may elect to defer delivery of the shares of Stock that otherwise would be due by virtue of the satisfaction of the requirements for distribution of the shares of Stock under the Award in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (as amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2014 and as may be further amended from time to time), any successor plan or any other deferred compensation arrangement.

b.Restrictions. Subject to any exceptions set forth in this Agreement, until such time as the Units become earned and vested and are settled in shares of Stock in accordance with Section 1, the Units or the rights relating thereto may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Grantee. Any attempt to assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the Units or the rights relating thereto shall be wholly ineffective and, if any such attempt is made, the Units will be forfeited by the Grantee and all of the Grantee’s rights to such Units shall immediately terminate without any payment of consideration by the Company.
c.Cancellation of Rights. If any portion of the Units fail to become earned and vested (for example, because the Grantee fails to satisfy the vesting conditions specified in the Notice prior to a Separation from Service), then such Units shall be immediately forfeited as of the date of such failure and all of the Grantee’s rights to such Units shall immediately terminate without any payment of consideration by the Company.
d.Withholding.
i.Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, payroll tax or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items owed by the Grantee is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant or vesting of the Units or the subsequent sale of shares of Stock acquired upon vesting; and (ii) does not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.
ii.Prior to vesting of the Units, the Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all withholding obligations of the Company. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Grantee from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company or from proceeds of the sale of the shares of Stock. Alternatively, or in addition, to the extent permissible under applicable law, the Company may (i) sell or arrange for the sale of shares of Stock that the Grantee acquires to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (ii) withhold in shares of Stock, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of shares of Stock necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may



be required to withhold as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue and deliver shares of Stock in payment of any earned and vested Units if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this Section 4.
e.Grantee Representations. The Grantee hereby represents to the Company that the Grantee has read and fully understands the provisions of this Agreement, the Prospectus and the Plan, and the Grantee’s decision to participate in the Plan is completely voluntary. Further, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee is relying solely on his or her own advisors with respect to the tax consequences of this Award.
f.Regulatory Restrictions on the Shares Issued Upon Settlement. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Committee shall have the sole discretion to impose such conditions, restrictions and limitations on the issuance of shares of Stock with respect to this Award unless and until the Committee determines that such issuance complies with (i) any applicable registration requirements under the Securities Act or the Committee has determined that an exemption therefrom is available, (ii) any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange on which the Stock is listed, (iii) any applicable Company policy or administrative rules, and (iv) any other applicable provision of state, federal or foreign law, including foreign securities laws where applicable.
g.Miscellaneous.
i.Notices. Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give to the other shall be in writing and may be delivered personally, by intraoffice mail, by fax, by electronic mail or other electronic means, or via a postal service, postage prepaid, to such electronic mail or postal address and directed to such person as the Company may notify the Grantee from time to time; and to the Grantee at the Grantee’s electronic mail or postal address as shown on the records of the Company from time to time, or at such other electronic mail or postal address as the Grantee, by notice to the Company, may designate in writing from time to time.
ii.Waiver. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
iii.Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Award are superseded [For Mr. Sievert only, the following is added: , including without limitation, any provisions of the Employment Agreement that would otherwise apply to the Award.]
iv.Binding Effect; Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and to the extent not prohibited herein, their respective heirs, successors, assigns and representatives. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer



on any person other than the parties hereto and as provided above, their respective heirs, successors, assigns and representatives any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities.
v.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable Federal law and the laws of the State of Delaware, except with respect to the provisions of sub-paragraphs 7(n) and 7(o) which shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington for employees employed in the State of Washington. [For Mr. Sievert only: the entire provision is replaced with the following: Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law, and applicable Federal law.]
vi.Arbitration. The Company and the Grantee shall make a good faith attempt to resolve any and all claims and disputes regarding the Award or the Agreement in accordance with any dispute resolution adopted by the Company before resorting to any other dispute resolution procedure. If the claim or dispute is not resolved in that manner and involves any rights or obligations under the Agreement, then the claim or dispute will be determined by arbitration in accordance with the then-current American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) national rules for the resolution of employment disputes by arbitration, except as modified herein. The arbitration will be conducted by a sole neutral arbitrator who has had both training and experience as an arbitrator of employee compensation matters. If the Company and the Grantee cannot agree on an arbitrator, then the arbitrator will be selected by the AAA applying the criteria in this provision. Reasonable discovery will be permitted and the arbitrator may decide any issue as to discovery. The arbitrator may decide any issue as to whether or as to the extent to which, any dispute is subject to the dispute resolution provisions of this Section 7(f). The arbitrator may award only relief at law contemplated under the Agreement and the Plan and the arbitrator may not award incidental, consequential or punitive damages, attorney’s fees or any form or equitable relief, to either party. The arbitrator must base the arbitration award on the provisions of this Section 7(f) and applicable law and must render the award in writing, including an explanation of the reasons for the award. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction of the matter, and the decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding. The statute of limitations applicable to the commencement of a lawsuit will apply to the commencement of an arbitration. The arbitrator’s fees will be paid in equal portions by the Company and the Grantee, unless the Company agrees to pay all such fees.
vii.Venue. Any arbitration, legal or equitable action or any proceeding arising directly, indirectly, or otherwise in connection with, out of, related to or from the Agreement, or any provision hereof, shall exclusively be filed and adjudicated in King County, Washington and no other venue.
viii.Headings. The headings contained herein are for the sole purpose of convenience of reference, and shall not in any way limit or affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement.
ix.Conflicts; Amendment. The provisions of the Plan are incorporated in this Agreement in their entirety. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the



Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control. This Agreement may be amended at any time by the Committee, provided that no amendment may, without the consent of the Grantee, materially impair the Grantee’s rights with respect to the Award. The Committee shall have full authority and discretion, subject only to the terms of the Plan, to decide all matters relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan, the Award, and the Agreement, and all such action by the Committee shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon the Company and the Grantee.
x.No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or affect the right of the Company to terminate the Grantee’s employment or service at any time.
xi.Further Assurances. The Grantee agrees, upon demand of the Company or the Committee, to do all acts and execute, deliver and perform all additional documents, instruments and agreements which may be reasonably required by the Company or the Committee, as the case may be, to implement the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Plan.
xii.Personal Data. By accepting the Award under this Agreement, the Grantee hereby consents to the Company’s use, dissemination and disclosure of any information pertaining to the Grantee that the Company determines to be necessary or desirable for the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.
xiii.Recovery of Compensation. In accordance with Section 3.3 of the Plan, the Award is subject to the requirements of (i) Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (regarding recovery of erroneously awarded compensation) and any implementing rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any policies adopted by the Company to implement such requirements, and (iii) any other compensation recovery policies as may be adopted from time to time by the Company, all to the extent determined by the Committee in its discretion to be applicable to the Grantee.
xiv.Restrictive Covenants. The Grantee has previously entered into a Restrictive Covenant and Confidentiality Agreement (or similarly titled document) (“Restrictive Covenant Agreement”). The vesting and receipt of benefits under this Award is specifically conditioned on the Grantee’s compliance with the Restrictive Covenant Agreement except for the Covenant Not to Compete in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement. To the extent allowed by and consistent with applicable law and any applicable limitations period, if it is determined at any time that the Grantee has materially breached the Restrictive Covenant Agreement (not including the Covenant Not to Compete), the Company will be entitled to (i) cause any unvested portion of the Award to be immediately canceled without any payment of consideration by the Company and (ii) recover from the Grantee in its sole discretion some or all of the shares of Stock (or proceeds received by the Grantee from such shares of Stock) paid to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement. The Grantee recognizes that if the Grantee materially breaches the Restrictive Covenant Agreement (not including the Covenant Not to Compete),, the losses to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may amount to the full value of any shares of Stock paid to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement.



xv.Covenant Not to Compete. Employee agrees that, during the term of Employee’s employment and for a period of one year [For Mr. Sievert only: replace “one year” with “18 months”] immediately following the termination of such employment, Employee shall not either directly or indirectly, with or without compensation: (a) engage in, provide, offer to provide, or assist anyone in providing, services to or for a business, entity or individual that is substantially the same as or similar to Employer’s Business or that competes with Employer’s Business, directly or indirectly, in the geographic areas where Employer provides services; or (b) compete with Employer, its Affiliates or its dealers within the geographic areas where such entities provide or are permitted to provide services. Employee understands that the noncompetition obligations in this paragraph shall not apply unless at the time this Agreement is executed, or at a later date, Employee’s annualized earnings meet or exceed the minimum amount required by RCW 49.62. Employee agrees that the noncompetition obligation contained in this Agreement, if not enforceable at the time this Agreement is entered into, may nevertheless become enforceable in the future due to changes in Employee’s compensation.

xvi.Severability. If any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, or excessively broad, the remaining covenants and restrictions or portions thereof shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest degree possible to achieve the purposes of this Agreement and to afford Employer the maximum protections allowed by law, and if the invalidity or unenforceability is due to the unreasonableness of time or geographical restrictions, such covenants and restrictions shall be effective for such period of time and for such area as may be determined to be reasonable by a court of competent jurisdiction.
