Purchaser, its Affiliates, and Related Entities shall maintain ownership of, and be the contracting party with, all End Users including those acquired by its IRs, by directly providing all billing, collection, customer service, and all support necessary to provide Private Label Service (provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict or prevent Purchaser from outsourcing or subcontracting any such functions or services to any other Person). Purchaser remains responsible for any such Person with whom Purchaser enters an outsourcing or subcontracting relationship.
2.5. | Control of Sprint Network |
Without limiting the obligation of Sprint to provide the PCS Services in accordance with this Agreement (including Schedule 4.0), no provision of this Agreement will be construed as vesting in Purchaser any control whatsoever in any facilities or operations of Sprint, including the Facilities, or the operations of any Sprint Service Provider Affiliate or contractual third party of Sprint. No provision of this Agreement will be construed as vesting in Sprint any control whatsoever in any facilities or operations of Purchaser, its Affiliates, its Related Entities, its IRs, or its resellers, or any of their respective contractual third parties.
2.6. | No Sale to Other Resellers |
Purchaser will not directly or knowingly through any third party (and will not permit its Affiliates or Related Entities to) enter into any agreement with any Person or other arrangement with any Person granting such Person any rights to purchase Private Label Service for resale to other Persons. For purposes of clarity, an IR shall not be considered a reseller if it only acts as sales agent of Purchaser (i.e. selling Purchasers [***] Service Offering under the Brands), an Affiliate or a Related Entity selling the Private Label Services under a Brand.
2.7. | Compliance of Affiliates, Related Entities and IRs |
Where this Agreement refers to Purchaser, it shall be read to include Purchasers Affiliates and Related Entities with respect to the exercise of Purchaser rights under this Agreement but not with respect to liabilities or responsibilities. Purchaser will be solely responsible for how (if at all) it communicates with its Affiliates, Related Entities and IRs regarding their acts and omissions in connection with this Agreement and the extent to which (if at all) Purchaser contractually requires its Affiliates, Related Entities and IRs to be contractually bound to Purchaser in connection with this Agreement. Further, Purchaser shall be liable to Sprint for the acts and omissions of Purchaser Affiliates, the Related Entities and the IRs as if such acts and omissions were committed by Purchaser as it relates to their compliance with the applicable terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2.7 will be interpreted to expand or limit the substantive scope of such liability as it exists under the terms of this Agreement with respect to Purchaser.
2.8. | Minimum Commitments |
2.8.1. | Minimum Commitments |
(a) For each Contract Year during the Term, Purchaser shall pay Sprint the minimum revenue commitments set forth in Table 1 below (as such minimum revenue commitments may be adjusted or waived as specifically set forth in this Agreement, including Schedules 1.0 and 4.0).

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.8.1(g), the following amounts paid under this Agreement during a Contract Year shall be used to determine whether Purchaser has met its Minimum Annual Revenue Commitment for such Contract Year: (i) all amounts paid during such Contract Year under Schedule 1.0 of this Agreement (including Wireless Data Device usage by End Users); and (ii) those amounts paid for [***] under that certain [***]; provided, however, that Purchaser may not count amounts under clause (ii) with respect to: (x) a Contract Year to the extent such amounts exceed the applicable maximum amount for such Contract Year set forth in Table 1; or (y) such amounts exceed the aggregate maximum set forth in Table 1. The amounts described in (i) and (ii) shall constitute the Annual Revenue Amount.
(c) If, at the end of any Contract Year, the applicable Annual Revenue Amount during such Contract Year is less than the applicable Minimum Annual Revenue Commitment for such Contract Year, Purchaser shall pay Sprint an amount equal to such shortfall amount. Sprint shall include such shortfall amount in the invoice for the next complete billing cycle. If, at the end of any Contract Year(s), the applicable Annual Revenue Amount exceeds the applicable Minimum Annual Revenue Commitment, the

amount of any such excess will be included in the Annual Revenue Amount for succeeding Contract Year(s) to the extent there is a shortfall in any such Contract Year(s).
(d) Subject to any upward adjustment pursuant to Section 14.1.2, once the aggregate Annual Revenue Amounts exceed the Total Minimum Revenue Commitment of $300,000,000, Purchaser shall have no further Minimum Annual Revenue Commitments under this Section 2.8 and all future Minimum Annual Revenue Commitment will be deemed waived. Sprint expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Total Minimum Revenue Commitment shall not exceed $350,000,000.
(e) Subject to Section 16, the provisions of this Section 2.8 shall survive any change of control, business combination, transfer of assets or any other form of transaction such that it will be binding and enforceable on any successor to, or assignee of, Purchaser unless the Agreement is terminated by a Party.
(f) If Purchaser terminates the Agreement in its entirety under Section 13.1, Purchaser shall have no further Minimum Annual Revenue Commitments under this Section 2.8 and all future Minimum Annual Revenue Commitment will be deemed relieved. The Minimum Annual Revenue Commitment for a Contract Year with fewer than 365 days shall be prorated.

(b) Non-Exclusivity. At its discretion, Purchaser may enter into an agreement with any other Person for the purchase and sale of services similar to the PCS Services at any time. Sprint acknowledges and agrees that the only commitment being made by Purchaser with respect to the volume of Private Label Services that it is selling is its obligation to pay the Minimum Annual Revenue Commitment (as it may be adjusted in accordance with this Agreement). At its discretion, Sprint may enter into an agreement with any other Person for the sale of services similar to the PCS Services.
3. | Term and Phase Out Periods |
3.1. | General |
Subject to the breach and early termination provisions set forth in Section 13, the initial term of this Agreement commences on the Effective Date and ends on December 31, 2015 (the Initial Term). The term of this Agreement will renew for successive one year terms unless a Party gives the other Party at least 180 days advance notice of its intent not to renew the Agreement; provided, however, that the Term of this Agreement shall not exceed 10 years.
3.2. | Phase-Out Period |
Upon the effective date of expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Agreement, the applicable phase-out period set forth in Section 13.4 applies.
4. | Representations and Warranties |
Each Party makes the following representations and warranties as of the Effective Date:
4.1. | Due Incorporation or Formation; Authorization of Agreements |
The Party is a company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. The Party has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
4.2. | No Conflict |
Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, nor the consummation by the Party of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, will conflict with, violate or result in a breach of: (a) any applicable law, regulation, order, or determination of any Governmental Authority, (b) any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the certificate of organization, bylaws or other governing documents of the Party, or (c) any material agreement or instrument to which the Party is or may be bound or to which any of its material properties, assets or businesses is subject. Neither Party has received any currently effective notice of material default under any agreement that is required for it to perform under this Agreement and that would have a material adverse impact on the ability of any Party to perform its obligations set forth in this Agreement.
4.3. | Litigation |
There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the Party, threatened against or affecting the Party or any of its properties, assets or businesses in, before or by any Governmental Authority which could, if adversely determined, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Partys ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
5. | Scope of PCS Service |
Sprint shall provide the PCS Service in accordance with this Agreement, including this Section 5 and Schedule 1.0.
5.1. | Limitation on Scope of PCS Service |
5.1.1. | General |
Purchaser/Sprint Confidential Information RESTRICTED
12
Confidential | Execution Copy | |
(a) PCS Service is available to compatible Sprint-certified Devices (see Section 7.1.1) only within the operating range of the Sprint Network.
(b) Sprint shall provide the PCS Service with the same level of quality, performance, reliability and clarity as the services comprising the PCS Service that Sprint provides to its Customers utilizing the services in the same geographic location and the same operating environment. For this purpose, whether Purchaser and the Customers are using the same operating environment will be determined by all relevant factors, including the brand and model of Devices being used by the End Users and other Customers, and the services to be provided by Purchaser, Sprint and/or Sprints other wireless resellers to their respective subscribers.
(c) Subject to and without limiting those specific remedies set forth in Schedule 4.0 (which include termination of this Agreement), Sprint is not liable to Purchaser with respect to any PCS Service interruption, curtailment or other limitation, provided that Sprint is in compliance with subsection (b) above. Sprint is not liable to End Users with respect to any PCS Service interruption, curtailment or other limitation.
(d) In addition to its obligations related to PCS Service, Sprint will provide the services described in this Agreement in a commercially reasonable manner and subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. With respect to other services and support Sprint is obligated to provide under this Agreement (but not including Customized Services, which are addressed in Section 5.8, or handset certification), Sprint will not discriminate against Purchaser in establishing priorities or timelines, other than as necessary for Sprint to address urgent or exigent matters that may not be resolved without such discrimination.
5.1.2. | Availability of Facilities and Licenses |
Sprint shall obtain, retain and maintain suitable Facilities and licenses, including the License for each Market as required to provide the PCS Service hereunder in accordance with this Agreement.
5.1.3. | Purchaser/A2P Short Messaging Service |
All Purchaser SMS must be sent through a dedicated connection to the Pre-Delivery Router (PDR) pre-approved in writing by Sprint. Purchaser SMS must be sent using short message peer-to-peer (SMPP) protocol. Sprints application to person (A2P) SMS will allow Purchaser to send bulk messages to its End Users in accordance with this Agreement and the Private Label Operations Manual. If Purchaser desires to send large batch SMS messages or SMS messages in rapid succession, Purchaser must comply with Sprints then current requirements. If Purchaser is in breach of any of the terms of this Section 5.1.3, Sprint may in its sole discretion, and in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have under this Agreement, immediately discontinue the provision of Purchaser and/or A2P SMS until such time as the noncompliance is remedied in Sprints reasonable opinion.
5.1.4. | End User SMS |
(a) Sprints End User SMS system is run through a dedicated IP address on its PDR. Due to this transmission method, an End Users MDN or other information may be transmitted over the Internet when using End User SMS. In addition, when an End User uses a Device to browse the Internet, the End Users MDN or other information may be transmitted over the Internet. Purchaser is responsible for informing its End Users of the risks associated with such End User SMS use and browsing the Internet with a Device.
(b) If an individual Device is unable to receive an SMS message because such Device is: (i) turned off or (ii) traveling or Roaming in a location that does not have text messaging capabilities, SMS messages will remain in a queue for the time period as established by Sprint and consistently applied with respect to other resellers.
(c) Sprint will provide the ability to deliver mobile-originated SMS from End Users to email recipients and to deliver mobile-terminated SMS from email. Sprint will convert the email subject and body to an SMS message and deliver the SMS to the applicable End User using a conversion process that is consistent with the practices used for Sprints other Customers.

5.2. | Included Services and Future Technologies |
5.2.1. | PCS Service Transmission Functionality |
(a) Subject to Section 5.2.1(b), the PCS Services included under this Agreement include all voice and data (including SMS) transmission functionality over the Sprint Network as of the Effective Date (as the same may be modified, enhanced or updated by Sprint from time to time in the normal course of operation of the Sprint Network) (the Core Network Services). Sprint will provide commercially reasonable notice of the modifications, enhancements, and updates to the Sprint Network and will make such modified, enhanced or updated Core Network Services that replace existing voice and data (including SMS) transmission functionality over the Sprint Network available to Purchaser at no additional cost as they are made available to any of Customers outside of a test or trial environment.
(b) If Sprint plans to introduce any new wireless telecommunications services that provide voice and data (including SMS) transmission functionality over the Sprint Network (the New Core Network Services), Sprint will provide Purchaser with commercially reasonable advance notice prior to Sprints planned commercial launch thereof outside of a test or trial environment. Subject to any applicable technical or resource constraints (that the responsible Party will work to expeditiously resolve), Sprint will make such New Core Network Services available to Purchaser in each Market where they have been commercially launched upon the earlier of: (1) 180 days following Sprints commercial launch of such New Core Network Services (outside of a test or trial environment) in such Market, provided that Sprint can demonstrate its efforts to launch such New Core Network Services as a differentiated service offering; or (2) when Sprint makes such New Core Network Services generally available to other resellers as part of its wireless resale program. Upon the election of Purchaser, the Parties shall engage in good faith negotiations to agree the price for such New Core Network Services that will apply to provision of New Core Network Services as part of the PCS Services under this Agreement (and reasonable amendments to any terms that would be, from a technical perspective, unreasonable to apply to the New Core Network Services); provided that such price shall not exceed a commercially reasonable price.
(c) Sprint shall design and implement changes to the Core Network Services and use commercially reasonable efforts to design and implement New Core Network Services and any changes thereto so that Purchasers systems and the End Users Devices will continue to operate after such changes and implementations without material degradation and without requiring a material change to Purchasers systems or the Devices unless otherwise agreed by Purchaser; provided, however, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser and its End Users may not have access to transmission functionality of the replacement or modified Core Network Services or New Core Network Service unless Purchaser makes changes to its systems and the End Users Devices (e.g. a new Device may be required to utilizes an enhanced functionality that becomes available with the change, but the pre-existing services will remain functional). To the extent Purchasers fails to maintain its operations in a commercially reasonable manner and such failure materially impacts Sprints ability to comply with its obligations arising under this Section 5.2.1, Sprint shall not be responsible for a failure to comply with this Section 5.2.1.
5.2.2. | [***] Networks |
Upon the earliest to occur of the date on which (i) Sprint has [***] at least [***]% of its retail subscribers who purchase wireless services directly from Sprint or one of its Affiliates (Retail Subscribers) [***] the Sprint Network [***] Network (measured from the total number of Retail Subscribers on the Sprint Network at the time such [***] begins), (ii) the number of new Retail Subscribers [***] Network that [***] such [***] Network as their primary transmission functionality in any calendar quarter is in excess of [***]% of the aggregate number of new Retail Subscribers [***] Network and the Sprint Network in such calendar quarter or, Sprint will provide Purchaser with notice of the occurrence of any such event, and Purchaser shall have the option from and after the occurrence of any such event to elect, by delivering written notice

thereof to Sprint, to [***] from time to time during the Term [***] Network. During the 90 day period following the exercise of such option, Sprint and Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate a mutually acceptable arrangement under which Sprint would provide Purchaser with [***] Network. While Sprint and Purchaser will look to the terms of this Agreement in determining what terms should apply to the [***] of such [***] Network, unless and until a binding definitive written agreement is entered into, there will be no binding agreement between such Parties with respect to [***] of the [***] Network except as otherwise set forth in this Section 5.2.2 nor will any discussion or course of conduct impose any obligation or liability on any Party with respect to such arrangement. If, after expiration of such 90-day period, Sprint and Purchaser have not entered into a definitive written agreement and such Parties do not otherwise agree, the terms of this Agreement (including the pricing for the services set forth on Schedule 1.0 hereto, as reasonably adjusted to reflect units of measure set forth in Schedule 1.0 (e.g., MB, SMS) that are not used to measure utilization of [***] to the [***] Network, but not including Schedule 4.0 with respect to [***] or other terms dealing specifically with the functionality of the Sprint Network, it being understood that it is [***] network) will continue to apply with respect to Purchasers [***] of services on the [***] Network. Sprint will provide commercially reasonable assistance in [***] Purchasers [***] to the [***] Network, it being understood and agreed that all costs associated with such [***] (including any handset or other Device costs) will be the sole responsibility of Purchaser. Subject to this Section 5.2.2, from and after the date of Purchasers [***] to any [***] Network, references to the [***], as used in the Agreement, shall include the [***] Network.
5.2.3. | Other Networks and iDEN |
Notwithstanding Sections 5.2.1 or 5.2.2 above or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement does not obligate Sprint or any of its Affiliates to provide Purchaser with access to any services operating on any unlicensed spectrum or through the Clearwire Networks. This Agreement does not obligate Sprint or any of its Affiliates to provide iDEN products or services.
5.3. | Sprint Device Handling Services |
Subject to Section 5.12, Purchaser will be responsible for making its own arrangements to purchase compatible, Sprint-certified and approved Devices and accessories from authorized manufacturers or Device fulfillment vendors as specified in the Private Label Operations Manual.
5.4. | Coverage Maps |
Sprint will make coverage maps available to Purchaser for its use as more particularly described in the Private Label Operations Manual. The maps will not be materially different from the maps produced by Sprint in connection with Sprints branded services. Although Purchaser acknowledges the maps are designed to generally show where PCS Service works, but Sprint does not guaranty the accuracy of the maps. The maps provided will be generated using predictive modeling and mapping techniques commonly used in the wireless service industry to depict approximate outdoor coverage under normal operating conditions on the Sprint Network. If a coverage map contains a Sprint logo or identification, it must be removed from the map prior to publication or distribution by Purchaser. Additionally, the maps published or distributed by Purchaser must not imply that the Sprint Network or the Facilities are owned or operated by Purchaser or its IRs.
Sprint is not liable to Purchaser or End Users for any claim or damage related to or arising out of or in connection with any map information, including the accuracy thereof, provided it meets its obligations under this Section 5.4.
5.5. | MDN Pooling |
Purchaser will utilize the MDN Pooling process as described in the Private Label Operations Manual to assign MDNs under this Agreement. MDN Pooling means that all Sprint MDNs will be held in a single
*** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |

repository without systematic sequential numbering restrictions and activated one at a time from the Sprint MDN pool on a next available basis. Sprint may change its policy of MDN administration with 60 days prior written notice to Purchaser; provided that Sprints policies, changes thereto, and application thereof with respect to any Market shall be consistently applied across its retail and wholesale operations such that Sprint will not allocate MDNs to Sprint, its Affiliates, or any other Person in a manner that is more favorable than the allocation of MDNs to Purchaser, its Affiliates or its Related Entities authorized to provide services under this Agreement.
5.6. | Billing Records |
Sprint will regularly (at least monthly) provide billing data or other billing records to Purchaser in accordance with the Private Label Operations Manual. Payment for (i) defective billing records or (ii) stale billing records, which are records that Sprint did not forward to Purchaser within the period described in the Private Label Operations Manual, may be disputed under the procedures set forth in Section 6.4. As set forth below, Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay for any usage for which Sprint failed to submit a billing record within 180 days after the date of the usage.
5.7. | Private Label Operations Manual |
5.7.1. | Generally |
Purchaser, on its behalf and on behalf of Purchaser Affiliates, acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Private Label Operations Manual. The Private Label Operations Manual includes the policies, practices, procedures, and processes under which (and relevant information and directions pertaining to the manner in which) PCS Services are provided to Purchaser by Sprint. The Private Label Operations Manual is in substantially the same terms as those for all resellers receiving services similar to the PCS Services.
5.7.2. | Conflict |
The provisions of this Agreement supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Private Label Operations Manual and any modifications thereto.
5.7.3. | Modifications and Amendments |
Subject to Section 5.7.2, the Private Label Operations Manual may be periodically modified or supplemented by Sprint in the same manner and to the same extent as Sprint modifies the operations manuals of all resellers, provided that Sprint provides Purchaser with 60 days prior written notice before any material modification or supplement.
5.8. | Customized Services |
The Parties will formalize the requirements for any Customized Services through the Work Order process contained in the Private Label Operations Manual. Nothing in this Section 5.8 will be construed as an obligation to purchase Customized Services. Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, from time to time request that Sprint provide a Customized Service. If Purchaser makes such a request, Purchaser will provide Sprint with a Business Request Document or BRD under the Work Order process for any requested Customized Services and the parties will thereafter work together to negotiate in good faith the terms of a definitive Work Order in accordance with the Work Order process. If the requested Customized Service is within the existing technical capabilities of the applicable Facilities and is otherwise within or related to the scope of this Agreement, then Sprint will work in good faith with Purchaser within the Work Order process; provided, however, Sprint will not arbitrarily discriminate against Purchaser in establishing priorities or timelines and any disparate treatment will be based on Sprints reasonable analysis of relevant factors applied consistently across both its retail and wholesale operations. If the requested Customized Service is not within the existing technical capabilities of the applicable Facilities or is not otherwise within or related to the scope of this Agreement, then Sprint may elect to work in good faith with Purchaser within the Work Order process, but will not be compelled to do so. All Customized Services will be provided by Sprint at cost, without markup or margin. In the case of labor, cost means

the rate Sprint uses for internal accounting purposes for similar work that it performs for Sprint and its Affiliates. This rate as of the Effective Date is $[***] per hour.
Sprint shall perform the work required under Schedule 5.0 (the Technical Services and Integration Statement of Work) in accordance with this Agreement. Section 5 of Schedule 5.0 identifies the integration work to be performed by Sprint that shall be treated as a Customized Service (the Customized Integration Work). Any amounts payable by Purchaser for the Customized Integration Work in excess of the applicable not-to-exceed amount set forth in Section 4 of Schedule 5.0 shall be solely for Sprints account. Except as otherwise set forth in Schedule 5.0 or to the extent Purchaser materially changes the scope of work to be performed under Schedule 5.0, there shall be no additional charge to Purchaser for any work that is required under Schedule 5.0.
5.9. | Viruses |
Sprint will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Viruses or similar items are coded or introduced into the Facilities that would have an adverse material impact on the PCS Services, and that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to introduce or code any such Viruses or similar items into any of Purchasers systems. Purchaser agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to introduce or code any such Viruses or similar items into any of Sprints systems. In the event a Virus or similar item is found, Sprint or Purchaser (as applicable) shall reduce the effects of the Virus or similar item and, if the Virus or similar item causes a loss of operational efficiency or loss of data, Sprint or Purchaser (as applicable) shall mitigate and restore such losses as mutually agreed by Purchaser and Sprint.
5.10. | Location Based Services |
As of the Effective Date, Purchaser has elected not to purchase or receive location based services from Sprint, except (i) as set forth in Section 4.7 of Schedule 5.0, and (ii) with respect to Sprints provision of 911 and E911 services to Purchaser. At any point during the Term Purchaser may elect to purchase location based services from Sprint and Sprint agrees that it will provide such services under commercially reasonable terms and prices that are mutually agreed to by the Parties at the time of such election
5.11. | Throughput |
During the Term, Sprint shall provide its standard reports on the physical burst rate for subscribers (Throughput), and deliver such measurements to Purchaser on at least a monthly basis as part of the Reporting Package, as set forth in Schedule 4.0.
5.12. | [***] |
For the primary purpose of selling to End Users in Markets, to the extent each party is permitted to under their agreements with [***], the parties will work in good faith to [***] Devices or accessories by investigating the option of [***].
5.13. | Support |
From and after the In Service Date, Sprint will provide support on a 24x7 basis to Purchaser with respect to incidents affecting and questions regarding the Sprint Network and mission-critical processes, in a manner consistent with the support provisions and processes set forth in the Private Label Operations Manual. During the provision of such support, the Parties shall (a) cooperate as necessary to construct a complete file of all non-privileged information relating to the unresolved issue, and (b) work in good faith to resolve the issue, and meet as required in consideration of the nature of the unresolved issue, either in person, by video conference, phone, or email, as appropriate.

6. | Billing and Terms of Payment |
6.1. | General |
Subject to Section 6.4 below with respect to disputes, Purchaser will pay Sprint for all charges associated with the use of the PCS Services by Purchaser as described in Schedule 1.0 and will pay all charges and costs under a Work Order. There are no charges under this Agreement other than those expressly set forth in Schedule 1.0, any charges approved in advance and in writing by Purchaser for Customized Services, and any other charges described in the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Disputed charges are governed by the procedures set forth in Section 6.4. All charges under this Agreement are stated in US dollars.
6.2. | Invoices |
Sprint will provide to Purchaser regular monthly invoices of the charges incurred by Purchaser. Each invoice shall include records and data to document all billings, including complete records of call detail/traffic detail that supports its billing, which may be provided in electronic format separate of any paper invoice. Sprint shall maintain all such records in accordance with generally applicable accounting practices.
Purchaser expressly acknowledges that some charges incurred in a billing cycle may not appear on the invoice or the billing data (or other billing record) for that billing cycle and that those charges may appear on subsequent invoices or billing media; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not owe any charges that are not sent to Purchaser in an invoice within [***] days after such billing cycle and any usage that is not included in the billing data (or other billing media) within [***] days after the end of the applicable billing cycle shall not be counted as usage for purposes of determining any overage charges that would otherwise apply.
Subject to Section 6.4 below with respect to disputes, Purchaser will pay the invoice in accordance with this Section 6.2. Payment for each invoice is due by wire transfer or automated clearing house (ACH) transfer within [***] days of the date of Purchasers receipt of the invoice and billing records meeting the requirements of this Section 6.2 (Due Date). An invoice will be deemed paid when Sprint receives the wire transfer at the location designated by Sprint. Sprint may, from time to time and with commercially reasonable prior written notice to Purchaser, modify the date on which Purchasers monthly billing cycles commence as part of its overall billing cycle management process, provided that Sprint shall provide Leap with at least 60 days notice of any such change and provide Purchaser such support as is required in connection with any operational impacts on Purchaser associated with any such change.
6.3. | Late Payments |
For amounts not disputed in good faith and not paid by the Due Date, Sprint may charge Purchaser a late payment charge of [***]% per month (or the maximum amount allowable under applicable law, whichever is less) (the Interest Rate) on the undisputed amount for the period commencing on the Due Date and ending on the date payment is made.
6.4. | Disputed Charges |
6.4.1. | General |
Purchaser may not dispute amounts aggregating less than $1,000 on any invoice(s) during a single billing cycle. Purchaser may withhold payment of the disputed portion of any invoice until the dispute is resolved under this Section 6.4. Purchaser must timely pay the undisputed amount of any invoice as provided in Section 6.2. Upon resolution of any dispute, payment of any disputed and withheld amount that is determined to be due and owing is due and payable within [***] days following resolution of the dispute. Nothing in this Section 6.4 prohibits Purchaser from informing Sprint of any suspected billing errors on any invoice.

6.4.2. | Standard Dispute Periods |
Purchaser will provide to Sprint written notice of any disputed charges for an invoice on or before the Due Date along with a detailed explanation of the nature of the dispute in accordance with the Private Label Operations Manual, and may withhold amounts for such disputed charges only if Purchaser complies with the terms of this sentence. If Purchaser determines after paying an invoice that there is a dispute with respect to all or part of the amount paid, then Purchaser may provide to Sprint written notice of the disputed charges together with a detailed explanation of the nature of the dispute within 180 days after the original Due Date of the invoice for the disputed amount. Sprint will provide Purchaser with its determination regarding disputed charges within 30 days after receipt of Purchasers dispute notice and explanation, and will credit Purchasers account, if appropriate, within the 30 day period. Subject to the other requirements in this Section 6.4.2, Purchaser may withhold any amounts for disputes related to prior invoices from amounts currently due to Sprint for the most recent invoice.
6.5. | Taxes and Other Levies by Governmental Authorities |
6.5.1. | Taxes |
Purchaser will provide to Sprint valid and complete state resale exemption certificates for PCS Services purchased from Sprint and resold to End Users for each state in which Purchaser resells PCS Services to End Users. Purchaser is solely responsible for the computation, billing, and collection of all applicable Taxes to End Users on PCS Services purchased from Sprint and resold as Private Label Service to End Users. Purchaser is solely responsible for the timely and accurate remittance of those Taxes to the appropriate tax jurisdictions. If Sprint is required to remit Taxes directly to a tax jurisdiction, Sprint will invoice Purchaser for those Taxes and Purchaser will pay them to Sprint under Section 6.2.
6.5.2. | Other Levies by Governmental Authorities |
Purchaser is solely responsible for the timely and accurate remittance of other levies by Governmental Authorities or under such Governmental Authorities orders (i) on PCS Services, (ii) mandated to be paid in proportion to receipts from Private Label Service, or (iii) mandated to be paid in connection with the provision of Private Label Service, including Universal Service Fund (USF) fees. Furthermore, no later than three (3) months following the In Service Date and no later than March 1 of each subsequent calendar year, Purchaser must provide to Sprint a signed statement that they are contributing into the USF based on the PCS Services provided to Purchaser by Sprint. If Purchaser claims an exemption, Purchaser will provide to Sprint a valid and complete exemption certificate. If Sprint is required to remit those levies directly to such Governmental Authority, Sprint will invoice Purchaser for them and Purchaser will pay them to Sprint under Section 6.2.
7. | Purchaser Rights and Obligations |
7.1. | Devices |
7.1.1. | Compatibility |
Purchaser will use, and will require its End Users to use, only Devices that:
(i) | are compatible with the PCS Service, the Sprint Network, and the Facilities; | ||
(ii) | comply with Sprints requirements for compatibility of Devices with the PCS Services which have been disclosed to Purchaser, and the Facilities, including the successful completion of Sprints Device certification process and the use of the Device Proprietary Information licensed by Sprint under Section 7.1.3, and | ||
(iii) | comply with all applicable FCC or other legal requirements for compatibility of Devices with the PCS Services, and the Facilities. |
Sprint shall apply its certification process for Devices under this Agreement on a non-discriminatory basis no less favorable to Purchaser than the certification process Sprint applies to its own Devices of a similar nature and any Devices used by its other resellers. In all cases, Sprint will limit the scope of its certification criteria to Radio Compliance (as such term is defined in the Private Label Operating Manual)
Purchaser/Sprint Confidential Information RESTRICTED

and interoperability testing over the Sprint Network. If any Device used by an End User does not comply with the standards set forth in this Section 7.1.1, Purchaser will ensure that the Device is not used and, if necessary, terminate the use, or terminate the Private Label Service to the offending End User. Purchaser acknowledges and understands that successful completion of Sprints certification process does not indicate that a Device will operate properly on Sprints Network, or even operate at all, but that such Device will not cause unacceptable levels of interference on Sprints Network. Upon the request of Purchaser, Sprint and Purchaser shall reasonably agree on a mutually acceptable roadmap for the certification of each Device requested to be certified by Purchaser, which shall set forth the agreed upon start and end date for the completion of such certification. Sprint hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the certification of each Device no later than 60 days following such agreed upon end date, absent any material delay to the extent such material delay is caused by a third party, including an OEM. An example of such a delay includes a third party not providing device software and hardware consistent with the Lab Entrance Criteria outlined in the Private Label Operations Manual by the agreed upon start date.
7.1.2. | No Activation of Sprint Devices |
Purchaser will not direct its IRs to target activation of Sprint Devices or otherwise offer promotions targeted at the activation of Sprint Devices by its IRs. Purchaser will not directly or indirectly (through IRs or otherwise) establish or otherwise knowingly permit or support any program or arrangement by which Sprint Devices are purchased in bulk or otherwise acquired in bulk (e.g., transshipment) for purposes other than activation and customary use by the individual purchaser of such Sprint Devices. In the event Sprint notifies Purchaser of any activities described in this Section 7.1.2, Purchaser agrees that it will promptly take commercially reasonable steps to cease or cause to have ceased the offending activities. Without limiting the generality of the application of foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.1 shall restrict or prohibit Purchasers ability to purchase refurbished phones, including in bulk.
7.1.3. | Sprint License to Use Certain Device Proprietary Information in Devices Using the Private Label Service |
For the Term (and during any phase-out period under Section 13.4) and subject to this Agreement, Sprint grants to Purchaser a non-transferable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive license for Purchaser and its Affiliates (collectively, the Licensees) to use and sell at retail the Device Proprietary Information, in object code form, solely to permit the Licensees and End Users to use the Private Label Service. Except as provided in this Section 7.1.3, Purchaser may not assign or sublicense any of its license rights or copy, change, alter or modify the Device Proprietary Information. Device Proprietary Information means (i) Sprints preferred roaming list, as changed by Sprint, in its sole discretion, from time to time, (ii) software implementing Sprints Device user interface design features and structure, developed and installed in Devices with or for Sprint by manufacturers under agreements preserving Sprints proprietary rights therein, including changes, updates, modifications and enhancements to the software which may be effected from time to time during the term of this Agreement by Sprint, its agents or vendors; and (iii) software effecting compatibility between Devices and the Facilities and any ancillary systems, developed and installed in Devices with or for Sprint by manufacturers under agreements preserving Sprints proprietary rights therein, including changes, updates, modifications and enhancements to the software which may be effected from time to time during the Term by Sprint, its agents or vendors, which software is embodied in firmware or read-only memory (programmable or otherwise) or both associated with Devices which may be delivered to Purchaser by or on behalf of a manufacturer authorized under the Private Label Operations Manual.
7.1.4. | No Sprint Responsibility |
Sprint will not be responsible to Purchaser or any End User for the operation, testing or maintenance of any Devices. Sprint will not be required to make any changes, modifications or additions to its equipment, operations or Facilities to accommodate Purchaser or the Devices provided by Purchaser.
7.1.5. | Provision of ESN |
Purchaser/Sprint Confidential Information RESTRICTED
20
Confidential | Execution Copy | |
Before Purchaser makes Devices available for sale to End Users or retailers in connection with providing Private Label Service, Purchaser will provide to Sprint the ESN for each End User Device in accordance with the Private Label Operations Manual.
7.1.6. | Activation of Other Reseller Phones |
Purchaser will not directly or indirectly (through IRs or otherwise) establish or otherwise knowingly permit or support any program or arrangement by which other Customer (including other resellers) Devices are purchased in bulk (e.g., transshipment) or otherwise acquired in bulk for purposes other than activation and customary use by the individual purchaser of such Devices. In the event Sprint notifies Purchaser of any activities described in this Section 7.1.6, Purchaser agrees that it will promptly take commercially reasonable steps to cease or cause to have ceased the offending activities.
7.2. | Purchasers Responsibility and Liability |
Without limiting Sprints obligation to provide PCS Services, under the terms and provisions of this Agreement and except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser will be responsible for all services Purchaser provides to its End Users, including any credit verification, billing, collection, customer service, and all support necessary to provide Private Label Service. Purchaser is responsible for the costs and expenses associated with providing Private Label Services to its End Users. Purchaser will report any trouble with respect to the Private Label Service to Sprint only upon reasonable verification that the trouble is due to reasons other than misuse or malfunctioning of End User Devices, the failure of those Devices to meet standards for compatibility with PCS Service, or other elements or conditions within the reasonable control of Purchaser.
7.3. | Purchasers Responsibility for Fraud |
Purchaser is responsible for all costs and procedures associated with End User fraud (other than Cloning Fraud), such as subscription fraud, fraud associated with the use of the Private Label Service, or usage on lost or stolen Devices that Purchaser fails to deactivate, as well as fraud occurring in connection with Purchasers agents, employees or representatives, such as employee-related theft; provided, however that if Purchaser is unable to deactivate services and notifies Sprint in writing of such fraud and requests that Sprint deactivate an End User and Sprint fails to do so within six hours of such notice, any usage (including MOUs) attributable to the period after such six hour period will be excluded from the usage attributable to Purchaser under Schedule 1.0 (including for purposes of determining whether overage charges may apply). The provisions governing Cloning Fraud are set forth in Section 8.3 and the provisions governing fraud on a Roaming providers network are set forth in Section 8.2.3.
7.4. | Interference |
Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent Purchasers agents, employees, IRs, representatives and End Users from interfering with the Facilities, the Sprint Network or the PCS Service in a way as to impair the quality of service provided by Sprint to its Customers. Sprint acknowledges and agrees that absent unique and unanticipated operating scenarios (malfunctioning Devices, intentional misconduct by third parties, etc.), usage of the Sprint Network in accordance with this Agreement shall not constitute interference. Notwithstanding the obligation under the first sentence of this Section 7.4, upon discovery of any such interference by either Sprint or Purchaser, the Party discovering the interference will promptly notify the other Party and Purchaser will promptly order the agent, employee, IR, representative or End User to cease the act(s) constituting the interference. Sprint, concurrent with notice to Purchaser, may terminate the PCS Service to the End User causing the interference and require Purchaser to use commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate the interference by the agent, employee, IR, representative or End User.
7.5. | Subpoena Compliance |
If a law enforcement agency contacts Purchaser with a subpoena relating to End User MDN billing records or any End User information, Purchaser must comply with the subpoena. If the subpoena requests information not in the possession of Purchaser, Purchaser must promptly contact the Sprint representative designated in the Private Label Operations Manual for assistance in compliance with the
Purchaser/Sprint Confidential Information RESTRICTED
21
Confidential | Execution Copy | |
subpoena and if Sprint possesses such information, then Sprint shall provide Purchaser such information as promptly as is reasonably possible. If Purchaser either: (y) fails to comply with the subpoena for reasons other than Sprints violations of the previous sentence; or (z) when applicable, fails to promptly contact the designated Sprint representative for assistance, and if Sprint is fined by a court of law as a direct result of Purchasers failure described in (y) or (z) above, Purchaser will reimburse Sprint for the amount of such fine. If Sprint fails to comply with its obligations contained in this paragraph for reasons other than Purchasers acts or omissions and if Purchaser is fined by a court of law as a direct result of such failure, Sprint will reimburse Purchaser for the amount of such fine.
7.6. | Electronic Surveillance |
If a law enforcement agency issues a court order to Purchaser relating to electronic surveillance of an End User MDN, Purchaser shall confirm all End User information contained in the court order to such law enforcement agency and will promptly contact the Sprint representative designated in the Private Label Operations Manual for technical assistance in performing the electronic surveillance. Thereafter, Sprint shall take such actions as are required for Purchaser to comply with the court order to the extent such actions are within Sprints control. If Purchaser either: (a) fails to confirm the End User information as requested in the court order; or (b) fails to promptly contact the designated Sprint representative for technical assistance in performing the electronic surveillance, and if Sprint is fined by a court of law as a direct result of Purchasers failure described in (a) or (b) above, Purchaser will reimburse Sprint for the amount of such fine. If Purchaser is fined by a court of law as a direct result of Sprints failure to comply with its obligations in this paragraph for reasons other than Purchasers acts or omissions, Sprint shall reimburse Purchaser for the amount of such fine.
7.7. | Purchaser Responsibility for Purchasers Vendors/Contractors |
Purchaser may request that Sprint work with one or more of Purchasers vendors or contractors in order for Sprint to help facilitate Purchasers provisioning and support of the Private Label Service, and if Sprint works with such vendor or contractor, in all such cases Purchaser is responsible for the actions of such vendors or contractors. Sprint shall perform such work at no additional charge, provided, however if such support rises to the level of requiring development, implementation, customization or other work that is of a nature that is beyond general support (and that are typically subject to a Work Order) the Parties will use the Work Order process.
8. | Sprints Rights and Obligations |
8.1. | Modifications |
(a) Sprint may, in its commercially reasonable discretion, change or update the Facilities or Sprints operations, equipment, software, procedures or Core Network Services, and the Private Label Operations Manual (such change or update, a Modification); provided, however, that Sprint shall, prior to implementing such Modification, provide Purchaser with commercially reasonable advance notice if it is reasonable to assume that such Modification will have a material adverse impact on any of Purchaser, its Affiliates, Related Entities, IRs, or End Users. Modifications that affect End Users will be designed such that they would affect Customers in substantially the same manner, provided that Purchaser has established and maintained its operations in a commercially reasonable manner. Sprint shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make all Modifications to its systems that interface with or otherwise provide data to Purchasers systems so that there is no material adverse impact on the functionality, performance and reliability of such systems. Without limiting the generality of Section 5.2.1, Purchaser acknowledges that in order for its End Users to take advantage of some Modifications, Purchaser may be required to make changes to, updates of or modifications of its Devices, accessories, systems or procedures; provided, however, that this acknowledgement shall in no way limit Sprints obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to make all Modifications backwards compatible under Section 5.2.1(c) and this Section 8.1(a).
(b) If a Modification has a material adverse impact on Purchaser or the End Users and Purchaser could not have avoided such adverse effect through reasonable measures at the time of the Modification, or a Modification requires Purchaser to incur a material and costs (not including any Device

related costs associated with the ability to take advantage of an New Core Network Service) Purchaser could not have avoided such adverse effect through reasonable measures at the time of the Modification, any remaining Minimum Annual Revenue Commitments set forth in Sections 2.8 shall be reduced (i) to the extent of such material adverse impact on Purchasers ability to meet such commitments, and (ii) to reflect any such costs (including internal costs) that are incremental to normal operating costs and that are directly attributable to such Modification.
(c) Except as provided in Section 8.1(b) or otherwise in this Agreement, Sprint will not be liable to Purchaser or to End Users if a Modification requires changes to, updates of, or modifications of Purchasers or End Users Devices or other products, accessories, systems or procedures. Sprint may, in its sole discretion, offer service products that are not part of the PCS Service provided that it meets its obligations under this Agreement.
8.2. | Roaming Services |
8.2.1. | General |
Sprint will make Roaming available to Purchaser in any portion of any area in which Sprint has a Roaming agreement on the terms and conditions contained in that agreement and the prices set forth in Schedule 1.0. Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that Sprint is not responsible for the billing practices, service charges or availability of Roaming provided by Roaming providers, and that Sprint is not obligated to provide Roaming in areas in which Sprint has not entered into Roaming agreements or loses its Roaming agreements.
8.2.2. | Blocking Roaming |
Purchaser may request that Sprint block Roaming for its End Users. If Purchaser requests this, Sprint will configure End User profiles to block Roaming. However, due to circumstances outside of Sprints control, a Roaming switch may at times complete a Roaming call for an End User(s). In such case, Purchaser will be liable for Roaming charges at the rate set forth in Schedule 1.0.
8.2.3. | Disputes Concerning Roaming |
If a material dispute concerning charges for Roaming minutes occurs, Sprint will process the dispute with the Roaming provider in accordance with Sprints Roaming agreement. A dispute is considered material if the amount in dispute exceeds $1,000 in the aggregate during any single billing cycle. If the Roaming provider provides an adjustment to Sprint for the disputed charges, Sprint will credit that adjustment to Purchaser. In no event will the credit exceed the lesser of (i) the Roaming charges that Sprint billed to Purchaser or (ii) the credit that Purchaser provided to its End Users. Roaming fraud is Purchasers responsibility and Sprint does not accept any responsibility for End Users being billed for fraudulent calls placed on a Roaming providers network.
8.3. | Sprint Network Fraud Detection and Responsibility |
Sprint will monitor the use of the PCS Service using its customary fraud detection procedures, which are equivalent to the fraud detection procedures used by Sprint with the services similar to the PCS Services that Sprint provides to its Customers and which are designed to attempt to detect fraudulent calls on the Sprint Network made using Purchasers MDNs, it being understood that Sprint does not ensure that all fraud will be detected. The phrase fraudulent calls on the Sprint Network made using Purchasers MDNs means calls associated with the loading by an unrelated and independent third party of a MDN/ESN/MSID combination onto a wireless device to use the PCS Services, as more specifically defined in the Private Label Operations Manual (Cloning Fraud). Sprint will notify the Person(s) identified by Purchaser to address issues related to fraudulent use of the Private Label Service (electronically or in writing, as Sprint deems appropriate) of the detection by Sprint of suspected and confirmed Cloning Fraud, as those terms are defined in the Private Label Operations Manual, within two hours after such detection. Sprint will determine, in its commercially reasonable discretion, whether an incident of Cloning Fraud is suspected or confirmed. Sprint will track and process any credits requested by Purchaser and associated with suspected and confirmed Cloning Fraud, only if the Cloning Fraud exceeds a minimum threshold of $1,000 in the aggregate during any single billing cycle.

8.3.1. | Suspected Cloning Fraud on the Sprint Network |
In case of suspected Cloning Fraud, Sprint will not terminate PCS Services to the affected MDN, unless Purchaser directs Sprint, in writing, to terminate PCS Services with respect to the affected MDN. If Purchaser directs Sprint to terminate service to the affected MDN, Sprint will absorb the costs of the PCS Services associated with that Cloning Fraud on the Sprint Network for up to four hours from the time Sprint provided notice of detection to Purchaser, and Purchaser will be responsible for all charges after expiration of the four-hour period. If Purchaser does not request termination of PCS Services to the affected MDN, Purchaser will be responsible for all charges.
8.3.2. | Confirmed Cloning Fraud on the Sprint Network |
In case of confirmed Cloning Fraud, Sprint will terminate service to the affected MDN concurrently with notice of detection to Purchaser. Sprint will absorb the costs of the PCS Services associated with that Cloning Fraud on the Sprint Network. If Purchaser reactivates the End User or overrides Sprints deactivation of PCS Services, then Purchaser is responsible for all Cloning Fraud and any other fraud or similar activity on the End User account, in each case that occurs on or after the reactivation of override.
8.4. | Sprints Reports to Purchaser |
Sprint will provide to Purchaser the reports specified in the Private Label Operations Manual.
8.5. | [***] |
8.6. | Project Managers; Meetings |
Each of the Parties will identify a qualified and experienced employee responsible for the overall management of the relationship between Sprint and Purchaser regarding the PCS Services. The Sprint PM shall be the Sprint employee who will serve as the primary point of contact for Purchaser with respect to this Agreement. Purchaser may elect to require Sprint to remove (and Sprint shall promptly remove) the employee serving as the Sprint PM if Purchaser has a reasonable belief that he or she has committed or knowingly permitted any fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or a material breach of the Agreement.
The Parties shall hold such meetings (in person or by telephone, as mutually agreed) as Purchaser or Sprint may reasonably request. As of the Effective Date, such meetings shall include the following:
(a) A monthly meeting and review process pursuant to which the Parties will meet to discuss the operations and activities described in this Agreement and to plan future operations and activities; and
(b) A quarterly meeting among Sprints Director of Wholesale Account Management and Purchasers Vice President Retail Channel Management (or their respective designee of appropriate seniority) and other appropriate individuals who may be invited by either of them to review the monthly performance reports for each month during the most recent quarter, review overall performance under the Agreement, review progress on the resolution of issues, provide a strategic outlook for Purchasers requirements, and discuss such other matters as appropriate.
9. | Limitations of Warranties and Liabilities |
9.1. | No Warranties |
Except as specifically set forth in Section 4, neither Party makes any warranties, express or implied. Specifically, all implied warranties are disclaimed, including any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, use, or non-infringement. Neither Party is authorized to make any warranty on the other Partys behalf. Sprint is not the manufacturer of any equipment used with the PCS Service.

Except as set forth in Section 9.2.3 and any Partys payment obligations under this Agreement, in no event shall any Partys cumulative liability arising from or related to this Agreement exceed the greater of: (a) $[***]; or (b) an amount equal to [***].
9.2.2. | No Liability for Certain Damages |
Except as set forth in Section 9.2.3, neither Party shall be liable to the other for special, indirect, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages, including loss of profits, related to or arising out of a Partys performance under this Agreement.
9.2.3. | Exceptions |
Neither the limitation of liability under Section 9.2.1 nor the exclusion of certain categories of damages under Section 9.2.2 shall apply with respect to: (i) damages arising from a Partys gross negligence or willful misconduct; (ii) damages arising from a Partys failure to comply with Sections 10 or 15; (iii) damages arising from Sprints abandonment of its obligations under this Agreement; and (iv) a Partys obligations with respect to third party claims under Section 12. As used in this Section, abandonment means Sprints refusal to perform its material obligations under this Agreement that is not excused under this Agreement or applicable law.
10. | Trade Name, Trade Marks and Service Marks |
10.1. | Sprints Rights |
Purchaser recognizes Sprints ownership of service marks, trademarks, and trade names used in connection with the service and products sold by Sprint and Sprint Affiliates, including Sprint and all other Sprint-owned trademarks and logos (Sprint Marks). Purchaser will not engage in any activities or commit any acts, directly or indirectly, that contest, dispute, or otherwise impair Sprints rights in the Sprint Marks. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement grants to Purchaser the right to use any Sprint Mark or any service mark, trademark, or trade name that is confusingly similar to or a colorable imitation of any of the Sprint Marks, including in any of Purchasers advertisements, and will not incorporate the Sprint Marks into any service mark, trademark or trade name used or developed by Purchaser. Purchaser does not acquire or claim any right, title or interest in or to the Sprint Marks through purchase of PCS Services, the provision of Private Label Service or otherwise. Purchaser agrees that it will not identify Sprint by name, Sprint Marks or otherwise including as set forth in the Private Label Operations Manual with respect to network identification. Upon Sprints request, Purchaser will provide to Sprint any materials using the Sprint Marks for Sprints review to determine compliance with this Agreement. Purchaser may delete non-public price information prior to submitting those materials for Sprints review. Sprint will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Purchaser within 10 business days of receipt of any requested materials, if any sections need to be modified or deleted in order to ensure compliance with this Agreement. Purchaser must comply with any adjustments or requests from Sprint on any requested materials and may not use a Sprint Mark without Sprints express written consent.
10.2. | Purchasers Rights |
Sprint recognizes Purchasers ownership of service marks, trademarks, and trade names used in connection with the service and products sold by Purchaser and Purchasers Affiliates (Purchaser Marks). Sprint will not engage in any activities or commit any acts, directly or indirectly, that contest, dispute, or otherwise impair Purchasers rights in Purchasers Marks. Sprint acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement grants to Sprint the right to use any Purchaser Mark or any service mark, trademark, or trade name that is confusingly similar to or a colorable imitation of any of the Purchaser Marks and will not incorporate the Purchaser Marks into service mark, trademark or trade name used or

developed by Sprint. Sprint does not acquire or claim any right, title or interest in or to the Purchaser Marks through sale of PCS Services, or otherwise.
10.3. | Remedies for Violations |
The limitations in Section 9.2 do not apply to either Partys violations of Section 10. If either Party violates or threatens to violate Section 10, the other Party may exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement and any other right or remedy that it may have (now or hereafter existing) at law, in equity or under statute. The Parties agree that damages for violations of Section 10 may be difficult to ascertain or inadequate and that if either Party violates or threatens to violate Section 10, the other Party may suffer irreparable harm and therefore may seek injunctive relief in addition to any other right or remedy under this Agreement and any other right or remedy that it may have (now or hereafter existing) at law, in equity or under statute. The Party that violates or threatens to violate Section 10 will not raise the defense of an adequate remedy at law.
11. | Insurance |
Both Parties will obtain and keep commercially reasonable levels of insurance (or reasonable self insurance policies and practices) and will provide the other Party with evidence of such insurance as reasonably requested from time to time.
12. | Indemnification |
12.1. | Purchasers General Third Party Indemnity |
Purchaser will indemnify and defend Sprint, the Sprint Service Provider Affiliates, the Sprint Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, agents, and employees (each, a Sprint Indemnitee) from and against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys fees (collectively Damages) arising out of a claim by a third party against a Sprint Indemnitee (i) of actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation of any patent, copyright, trademark, trade name, trade dress, trade secret or any other intellectual property right, now known or later developed arising from any product or service supplied by Purchaser including any claim by a third party regarding Devices or accessories provided by Purchaser or the Private Label Services (except to the extent such Private Label Services are included under subsection (i) of Section 12.2 below); (ii) that results from or is alleged to have resulted from any failure of Purchaser to comply with Section 15; (iii) that results from or alleged to have resulted from any violation of applicable law or regulation by Purchaser or its Affiliates or any representations made by Purchaser to its End Users; or (iv) that results from or alleged to have resulted from fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by Purchaser, its Affiliates, or any of their respective agents.
12.2. | Sprints General Third Party Indemnity |
Sprint will indemnify and defend Purchaser, its Affiliates its Related Entities, their respective Resellers and IRs, and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees and End Users (each, a Purchaser Indemnitee) from and against all Damages arising out of a claim by a third party against a Purchaser Indemnitee (i) of actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation of any patent, copyright, trademark, trade name, trade dress, trade secret or any other intellectual property right, now known or later developed based on any product or service supplied by Sprint, including any claim by a third party regarding the Facilities or PCS Services; (ii) that results from or is alleged to have resulted from any failure of Sprint to comply with Section 15; (iii) that results from or alleged to have resulted from any violation of applicable law or regulation by Sprint, its Affiliates, or any of their respective agents; or (iv) that results from or alleged to have resulted from fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by Sprint, its Affiliates, or any of their respective agents. Sprints obligations to indemnify under clause (i) above will not apply to the extent that the infringement or misappropriation (1) is caused by Sprints adherence to functional or other specifications that were provided by Purchaser, (2) is caused by Purchasers continued use of infringing services after Sprint provides reasonable notice to Purchaser of the infringement and completes its obligations under the next paragraph; or (3) the Claim alleges that the specific Devices chosen by Purchaser or other materials provided by Purchaser infringe or misappropriate the applicable third partys intellectual property rights.

26
Confidential | Execution Copy | |
For any third party claim that the PCS Services infringes or misappropriates a third partys intellectual property rights that Sprint receives, or to minimize the potential for such a claim, Sprint shall, at its option and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to either: (1) procure the right for Purchaser and the End Users to continue using the applicable PCS Services; or (2) replace or modify the applicable PCS Services to address the infringement claim provided it does so without adversely affect the reliability, performance, quality and functionality of the Sprint Network, Purchaser, or the End Users. If neither option (1) nor option (2) in the previous sentence is commercially reasonable as determined by Sprint in its reasonable discretion, Purchaser may terminate the applicable PCS Services, and Purchasers Total Minimum Revenue Commitment and to the extent the removal materially and adversely impacts a material component of the services to be provided under this Agreement, the charges and rates under this Agreement shall be equitably and proportionately reduced. Sprints obligation to obtain a right or replace PCS Services under this paragraph and Purchasers right to terminate the applicable PCS Services under this paragraph shall not apply to the extent Sprint is not obligated to indemnify Purchaser under the immediately preceding paragraph.
12.3. | Indemnification Procedures |
(i) | Promptly, upon becoming aware of any matter which is subject to the provisions of Section 12.1 and 12.2 (a Claim), the Party seeking indemnification (the Indemnified Party) must give notice of the Claim to the other Party (the Indemnifying Party), accompanied by a copy of any written documentation regarding the Claim received by the Indemnified Party. | ||
(ii) | The Indemnifying Party will, at its option, settle or defend, at its own expense and with its own counsel, the Claim. The Indemnified Party will have the right, at its option, to participate in the settlement or defense of the Claim, with its own counsel and at its own expense; but the Indemnifying Party will have the right to control the settlement or defense to the extent the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party will not enter into any settlement that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party without the Indemnified Partys prior written consent. The Parties will cooperate in the settlement or defense of any Claim for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Agreement and in such event shall give each other full access to all relevant information. | ||
(iii) | If the Indemnifying Party (i) fails to notify the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Partys intent to take any action within 30 days after receipt of a notice of a Claim or (ii) fails to proceed in good faith with the prompt resolution of the Claim, the Indemnified Party, with prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party and without waiving any rights to indemnification, including reimbursement of reasonable attorneys fees and legal costs, may defend or settle the Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party on demand for all Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending or settling the Claim. | ||
(iv) | Neither Party is obligated to indemnify and defend the other with respect to a Claim (or portions of a Claim) if and to the extent both of the following conditions are met: |
(a) | the Indemnified Party fails to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the Claim and fails to provide reasonable cooperation and information to defend or settle the Claim; and | ||
(b) | such failure to so notify materially prejudices the Indemnifying Partys ability to satisfactorily defend or settle the Claim. |
13. | Breach, Remedies and Early Termination of the Agreement |
13.1. | Breach |
In addition to other events of breach set forth in this Agreement, each of the following constitutes a Material Breach of this Agreement:
(i) | Sprint or Purchaser fails to make a payment of money that is not subject to dispute under Section 6.4, which failure continues for more than 10 days after notice from the other Party; |

Confidential | Execution Copy | |
(ii) | Sprint fails to comply with any material representation, warranty, obligation or covenant set forth in this Agreement, which breach is not cured within 30 days after written notice detailing such breach is provided; provided, however, that if the breach is of a type that cannot be cured within the 30 day period or cannot be cured within 30 days because of circumstances beyond Sprints control, then the period for cure will be extended if Sprint proceeds in a diligent and determined manner and continuously works to cure such breach, but in no event beyond 90 days after Purchaser sends written notice to Sprint regarding the breach; |
(iii) | Purchaser: |
(A) materially breaches its obligations under any of Section 2.2, Section 2.3, the notice obligations set forth in Section 14, or Section 15; or
(B) fails to comply with any material representation, warranty, obligation or covenant set forth in this Agreement that results in a material adverse effect (1) on the Sprint Network (or [***] Network as applicable) or (2) on the use of Sprint services by a significant number of Customers;
which breach is not cured within 30 days after written notice detailing such breach is provided; provided, however, that if the breach is of a type that cannot be cured within the 30 day period or cannot be cured within thirty (30) days because of circumstances beyond Purchasers control, then the period for cure will be extended if Purchaser proceeds in a diligent and determined manner and continuously works to cure such breach, but in no event beyond one-hundred eighty (180) days after Sprint sends written notice to Purchaser regarding the breach. Moreover, if the breach is of a nature that it cannot be cured, Sprint will not have a termination right under this subsection (iii) unless such breach has a material and adverse impact on Sprint; provided that Purchaser proceeds in a diligent and determined manner to minimize the likelihood of future breaches that are the same as or substantially similar to the breach that could not be cured. |
(iv) | Sprint or Purchaser fails to comply with Section 10, if that failure is not cured immediately upon receipt of notice from the Party owning or enforcing that mark or in the case of repeated violations after receipt of the notice on one occasion; | ||
(v) | Sprint or Purchaser ceases to do business as a going concern, liquidates or dissolves; or | ||
(vi) | Sprint or Purchaser is unable to pay or admits its inability to pay its debts as they become due. |
If a Party Materially Breaches this Agreement, the other Party may, upon notice to the breaching Party, terminate this Agreement in its entirety without any liability, and pursue any other right or remedy under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided, the termination will be effective on the day following the end of the applicable phase-out period.
The pricing for each Market in effect immediately before the date of the termination notice will remain in effect during the phase-out period. Sprint will invoice Purchaser for the amounts due under this Section and Purchaser will pay those amounts in accordance with Section 6.
13.2. | Early Termination Due to Loss of Licenses |
In the unlikely event a Governmental Authority revokes Sprints License to provide PCS Services in one or more Market(s), Sprint may terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected Market(s) without liability to the extent that the basis for the revocation is solely due to factors other than Sprints acts or omissions; provided, however, in the event the termination includes Markets that, along with any previous

terminations under this Section, result in a loss of covered POPs in excess of [***]% of the total covered POPs as of the Effective Date, all future Minimum Annual Revenue Commitments (including any additional Minimum Annual Revenue Commitments under Section 14.1.2) will be equitably reduced taking into consideration the adverse impacts (if any) on Purchaser resulting from the loss of such Markets. Sprint will provide commercially reasonable notice to Purchaser of any reasonably anticipated limitations under this Section and the Parties will work together to minimize any adverse impacts on End Users.
In the unlikely event that a Governmental Authority revokes Sprints License to provide PCS Services in one or more Market(s), Purchaser may terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected Market(s) without liability to the extent that the basis for the revocation is solely due to Sprints acts or omissions; provided, however, in the event the termination includes Markets that, along with any previous terminations under this Section, result in a loss of covered POPs in excess of [***]% of the total covered POPs as of the Effective Date, all future Minimum Annual Revenue Commitments (including any additional Minimum Annual Revenue Commitments under Section 14.1.2) will be equitably reduced taking into consideration the adverse impacts (if any) on Purchaser resulting from the loss of such Markets.
13.3. | Early Termination by Purchaser for Extended Force Majeure |
Purchaser may terminate this Agreement without liability and with respect to impacted Markets by providing notice to Sprint if there is one or more Force Majeure Events that materially affect Sprints ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement in such Markets for ninety (90) or more days; provided, however, in the event the terminated Markets result in a loss of covered POPs in excess of [***]% of the total covered POPs as of the Effective Date, Purchaser may terminate the Agreement without liability. In the event Purchaser terminates fewer than all Markets, all future Minimum Annual Revenue Commitments (including any additional Minimum Annual Revenue Commitments under Section 14.1.2) will be equitably reduced taking into consideration the adverse impacts (if any) on Purchaser resulting from the loss of such Markets.
13.4. | Length of and Duties During the Phase-out Period |
Upon giving of notice of termination of this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to a specific Market or Markets, at Purchasers (or its successor in interest) request, Sprint will continue to provide PCS Services and any ancillary service to Purchaser (or its successor in interest) in the terminated Market(s) during the applicable phase-out period as described below. Purchaser (or its successor in interest) may continue to add new End Users or MDNs during the initial thirty (30) days of the phase-out period. After the initial thirty (30) days of the phase-out period, Purchaser is prohibited from adding new End Users, and Sprint may enforce this by prohibiting Purchaser from accessing the API described in Schedule 1.0 if an API has been implemented for Purchaser as described in Schedule 1.0. At the end of the phase-out period, Sprint may terminate the PCS Services to Purchaser (or its successor in interest) and the End Users on the Sprint Network without incurring any liability. The pricing for each Market in effect immediately before the date of the termination notice will remain in effect during the phase-out period.
(i) | The phase-out period for termination under Section 13.2 is 365 days (to the extent legally able) after the date of the notice of termination and applies to those End Users on the Sprint Network as of the 30th day after the date of the notice of termination. | ||
(ii) | The phase-out period for termination under Sections 13.1(ii) through (vi) is [***] days after the date of the notice of termination and applies to those End Users on the Sprint Network as of the date of the notice of termination. | ||
(iii) | The phase-out period for termination under Section 13.1(i) is 10 days after the date of the notice of termination and applies to those End Users on the Sprint Network as of the date of the notice of termination. |

(iv) | Upon expiration of the Term, the phase-out period will be [***] days after the expiration date and applies to those End Users on the Sprint Network as of the expiration date. | ||
(v) | The phase-out period for termination under Section 14.1 is [***] days after the date of termination and applies to those End Users on the Sprint Network as of the date of the notice of termination. | ||
(vi) | The phase-out period for termination under Section 17.13 is [***] days after the date of the notice of termination and applies to those End Users on the Sprint Network as of the date of the notice of termination. |
13.5. | Effect of Termination |
Termination of this Agreement is without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Parties under this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement for any cause does not release either Party from any liability which, at the time of termination, has already accrued to the other Party, or which may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior to termination or from any obligation which is expressly stated to survive the termination. Purchaser will remain responsible for its obligations to its agents and End Users.
Sprint shall provide Purchaser, its Affiliates, and its Related Entities with all commercially reasonable assistance with the transition to Purchaser or another successor provider (including by providing information regarding the End Users that is reasonably and customarily required to activate such End Users on the new network), provided that Purchaser will be responsible for the costs of such transition. Sprint shall not refuse to take any action or withhold any information that is necessary for Purchaser to effect such transition in a reasonable manner. Sprint acknowledges and agrees that damages at law are an inadequate remedy for the breach of this paragraph and, accordingly, Purchaser shall be entitled to injunctive relief with respect to any such breach or violation without having to establish that monetary damages are inadequate.
Except as permitted under Section 14.3, Sprint agrees that the End Users are Purchasers End Users and Sprint shall not market (as a targeted group, but not as the recipient of any general marketing or promotion)or authorize others to market (as a targeted group, but not as the recipient of any general marketing or promotion) wireless telecommunications services to the End User accounts until the third anniversary of the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement.
14. | Change of Control; Liquidation and Other Events |
14.1. | Termination Option Upon the Occurrence of Change of Control |
14.1.1. | Change of Control Event Involving Purchaser and a Facilities Based Wireless Services Provider Other than MetroPCS |
(a) In the event Purchaser or any of its Affiliates directly or indirectly enters into an agreement with a Facilities-Based Wireless Services Provider (other than MetroPCS or any of its Affiliates) that effects or upon consummation will effect a Change of Control Event, Purchaser will provide immediate (within three (3) days) written notice (CoC Event Notice) to Sprint of such event. In such event, either Party may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of termination (CoC Termination Notice) to the other Party, which Notice must be provided no earlier than the date of closing of the Change of Control Event and no later than sixty (60) days after the closing of the Change of Control Event. The termination will be effective as of the date of the CoC Termination Notice. If the agreement effects the Change of Control Event upon execution, closing will be deemed to have occurred as of date Purchaser executes such agreement. If, however, the agreement effects the Change of Control Event at some point after the execution date of such agreement, closing will be deemed to have occurred on the date the Change of Control Event is consummated in accordance with the agreement. In all events, Purchaser will provide Sprint with immediate (within three (3) days) notice of the closing of the Change of Control Event.

(b) If either Party elects to terminate under this paragraph, Purchaser will pay to Sprint on the effective date of termination an amount equal to:
A x (B C), where:
A = The Payment Percentage set forth in Table 3 below, determined as of the date that Purchaser enters into an agreement that effects or upon consummation will effect a Change of Control Event. | |||
B = the Total Minimum Revenue Commitment as may be adjusted in accordance with the Agreement. | |||
C = all amounts paid by Purchaser (i) under Schedule 1.0 of this Agreement from and after the Effective Date through the last day of the applicable Phase-Out Period (including amounts paid for Wireless Data Device usage by End Users), plus (ii) those amounts paid under the [***] during a monthly billing cycle after the Effective Date and through the last day of the applicable Phase-Out Period; subject to, in the case of clause (ii), the limitations on the charges under the [***] that can be applied against a Minimum Annual Revenue Commitment set forth in Section 2.8. |

(c) As an example to illustrate application of this Section 14.1.1, assume that during 2012, Purchaser enters into an agreement that contemplates a Change of Control Event involving Purchaser and a Facilities-Based Wireless Services Provider (other than MetroPCS Communications). Assume further, that Sprint or Purchaser provides the CoC Termination Notice on the last day of 2013 and that during 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, that there have been no adjustments to any Minimum Annual Revenue Commitment, and that Purchaser paid the following amounts in PCS Service Usage Charges and monthly payments under the [***]; subject to the limitations on the charges under the [***] that can be applied against a Minimum Annual Revenue Commitment set forth in Section 2.8:
Paid PCS Service | Commitment Shortfall | |||||||||||
Contract Year | Usage Charges | Paid[***] | Payments | |||||||||
Effective Date through December 31, 2011 | $ | 15,000,000 | $ | 1,000,000 | $9,000,000 * paid in first billing cycle following completion of Contract Year 1 | |||||||
*($25,000,000-$16,000,000) | ||||||||||||
2012 | $ | 80,000,000 | $ | 2,000,000 | $0 | |||||||
2013 | $ | 50,000,000 | $ | 3,000,000 | $15,000,000* paid in first billing cycle following completion of Contract Year 1 | |||||||
($75,000,000 - $53,000,000 - $7000,000**) | ||||||||||||
**carry-forward from Contract Year 2 |
In this example, if either Sprint or Purchaser were to exercise its termination right under this provision, Purchaser would pay to Sprint $37,500,000 determined as follows:
30% x ($300M - ($15M+$1M+$9M+$80M+$2M+$50M+$3M+$15M))
This amount would be due and owing in the last billing cycle during the applicable phase-out period.
(d) The terms and provisions of Section 2.8.1 will continue to apply during the period from the date Purchaser enters into the transaction through the date of the CoC Termination Notice, with any Minimum Annual Revenue Commitment (including any additional Minimum Annual Revenue Commitments under Section 14.1.2) for a partial Contract Year pro-rated based on the number of days in such Contract Year prior to the date of the CoC Termination Notice. For example, if the date of the CoC Termination Notice described in the example in (c) above were to occur on the 253rd day of Contract Year 3, the Minimum Annual Revenue Commitment for Contract Year 3 would be $51,780,821 (252/365ths or 69.04% of $75,000,000) and measurement of any shortfall liability under Section 2.8.1 would occur on such date.
14.1.2. | Change of Control Event of Purchaser or a Competitive Acquisition by Purchaser of MetroPCS |
(a) In the event Purchaser or any of its Affiliates directly or indirectly enters into an agreement with MetroPCS or any of its Affiliates that effects or upon consummation will effect a Change of Control Event or a Competitive Acquisition by Purchaser or its Affiliates of MetroPCS or its Affiliates,
*** | Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. |

Confidential | Execution Copy | |
Purchaser will provide immediate (within three (3) days) written notice (Metro Event Notice) to Sprint of such event. The Agreement shall continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that the adjustments described in Section 14.1.2(b) shall be made, which adjustments shall be effective as of the first day of the first full billing cycle following the closing date of the Change of Control Event or Competitive Acquisition, as the case may be. If the agreement effects the Change of Control Event or Competitive Acquisition upon execution, closing will be deemed to have occurred as of the date Purchaser or its Affiliates executes such agreement. If, however, the agreement effects the Change of Control Event or Competitive Acquisition at some point after the execution date of such agreement, closing will be deemed to have occurred on the date the Change of Control Event or Competitive Acquisition is consummated in accordance with the agreement. In all events, Purchaser will provide Sprint with immediate (within 3 days) notice of the closing of the Change of Control Event or Competitive Acquisition.
(b) The following adjustments will be made:
i. | The lowest monthly recurring charge for each Pricing Bundle set forth in Schedule 1.0 will no longer be available in the Secondary Markets and the next lowest monthly recurring charge shall apply. |
ii. | The Total Minimum Revenue Commitment will be increased to $350,000,000 with the Minimum Annual Revenue Commitments for the Contract Year after the closing date of the Change of Control Event or Competitive Acquisition and each subsequent Contract Year for which there is a Minimum Annual Revenue Commitment increased by $50,000,000 (in the aggregate), which increase shall be allocated in proportion to the relative weightings of the Minimum Annual Revenue Commitment among such years; provided however in the event Purchaser has, as of the date of closing, fulfilled its $300,000,000 Total Minimum Revenue Commitment, the $50,000,000 (less any amounts in excess of such $300,000,000 Total Minimum Revenue Commitment paid by Purchaser under this Agreement that would be contributory to its Total Minimum Revenue Commitment under Section 2.8.1) shall be treated as a new Minimum Annual Revenue Commitment under Section 2.8.1 for the 12 month period beginning with the date of closing (and the Term shall be extended to be coterminous with such 12 month period if less than 12 months remain in the Term) and, provided further, if closing occurs after expiration of the Term and Purchaser has not paid more than the $350,000,000 Total Minimum Revenue Commitment, Purchaser will pay the difference between total spend during the Term and $350,000,000 Total Minimum Revenue Commitment at the end of the Term. For purposes of clarity, in no event shall Purchaser be obligated to pay a Total Minimum Revenue Commitment that exceeds $350,000,000, and any additional commitments under this Section 14.1.2(b)ii shall be subject to reduction to the extent the otherwise applicable Minimum Annual Revenue Commitments would be subject to reduction under this Agreement. |
(c) Once Purchaser has fulfilled its $350,000,000 Total Minimum Revenue Commitment (as it may have been adjusted in accordance with this Agreement), Sprint will have the option to remove the lowest monthly recurring charge for each Pricing Bundle set forth in Schedule 1.0 from Primary Markets and the next lowest monthly recurring charge shall apply.
14.1.3. | Definition of Change of Control Event and Competitive Acquisition |
(a) Change of Control Event means:
(i) | A transaction of merger or consolidation pursuant to which Purchaser merges or consolidates with or into a Person unless, immediately following such transaction, more than 50% of the voting power of the then outstanding Voting Securities of Purchaser (or, |

if Purchaser does not survive the transaction, of the surviving entity resulting from consummation of such transaction) is held by the shareholders (or their Affiliates) of Purchaser immediately prior to such transaction; or | |||
(ii) | A transaction of merger or consolidation pursuant to which any Parent of Purchaser merges or consolidates with or into a Person unless, immediately following such transaction, more than 50% of the voting power of the then outstanding Voting Securities of such Parent (or, if such Parent does not survive the transaction, of the surviving entity resulting from consummation of such transaction) is held by the shareholders (or their Affiliates) of such Parent immediately prior to such transaction; or | ||
(iii) | Purchaser, directly or indirectly, sells, assigns, conveys, transfers, leases or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of the assets of Purchaser (including all of its End User accounts), to a Person other than (A) to a Person who is an Affiliate of Purchaser immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, or (B) subject to subsections (i) and (ii) above, by way of merger or consolidation); or | ||
(iv) | The acquisition of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Voting Securities of Purchaser or of any Parent of Purchaser, in either case by a Person or group (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of Persons (other than any acquisition by a Person (A) who is an Affiliate of Purchaser immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction or by a group of Persons that is comprised of Persons who are Affiliates of Purchaser immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, or (B) subject to subsections (i) and (ii) above, by way of merger or consolidation). |
(b) As used herein, the term Parent means any Person that (A) directly owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Voting Securities of Purchaser, or (B) indirectly owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Voting Securities of Purchaser, through one or more subsidiaries of which more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Voting Securities of each such subsidiary is owned, directly or indirectly, by such Person. As used herein, the term Voting Securities means any securities entitled to vote in the ordinary course (and without regard to the occurrence of any contingency) in the election of directors of a corporation or Persons serving in a similar governing capacity of any partnership, limited liability company or other Person.
(c) Competitive Acquisition means a Change of Control Event involving MetroPCS or any of its Affiliates with the definition in subsections (a)(i)-(iv) immediately above modified such that MetroPCS is Purchaser and Purchaser or its Affiliates are a Person, in each case in determining whether a Change of Control Event that constitutes a Competitive Acquisition has occurred.
14.2. | Rights to Market to End User Accounts in Connection with Liquidation or Dissolution |
If Purchaser, directly or indirectly, approves any plan or proposal for liquidation or dissolution of Purchaser (other than into an Affiliate of Purchaser or in connection with a Change of Control Event) or winds up, liquidates, or dissolves and in connection with that action (or independent of that action) Purchaser and its Affiliates cease to provide Private Label Service to End Users as a result of such winding up, liquidation, or dissolution, Purchaser will (i) permit Sprint to market a Sprint or Sprint Affiliate provided alternative service to all of Purchasers End User accounts (whether or not those accounts are active) and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to remove any impediments to Sprints solicitation efforts and (iii) provide to Sprint all necessary End User information, as permitted by applicable law. For purposes of clarification, this provision will not apply if such liquidation or dissolution is a result of a Change of Control Event.
14.3. | Non-Solicitation/Non-Disclosure Obligations |

34
Confidential | Execution Copy | |
Purchaser agrees not to market or authorize others to market wireless telecommunications services specifically targeted to the End User accounts purchased by Sprint under Section 14.2 for a period of three (3) years from the such liquidation, dissolution or cessation. Purchaser further agrees that all information regarding the End User accounts on and after the date of such liquidation, dissolution or cessation is Sprint Confidential Information.
14.4. | Remedies |
The limitations in Section 9.2 do not apply to Purchasers violations of Section 14. If Purchaser violates or threatens to violate Section 14, Sprint may exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement and any other right or remedy that it may have (now or hereafter existing) at law, in equity or under statute. The Parties agree that damages for violations of Section 14 may be difficult to ascertain or inadequate and that if Purchaser violates or threatens to violate Section 14, Sprint may suffer irreparable harm and therefore may seek injunctive relief in addition to any other right or remedy under this Agreement and any other right or remedy that it may have (now or hereafter existing) at law, in equity or under statute. Purchaser will not raise the defense of an adequate remedy at law.
15. | Restrictions on Disclosure, Use, Storage, and Handling of Confidential and End User Account Information |
15.1. | Restrictions on Use and Disclosure |
Neither Party will disclose any Confidential Information received from the other Party, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or to exert its rights or assert a defense in connection with a dispute between the Parties and/or their Affiliates. Each Party will use the Confidential Information received from the other Party only for the purpose of this Agreement except as otherwise permitted under this Section 15. Sprint agrees that End User Account Information received in the course of providing PCS Services to such End Users will not be (a) disclosed to any Person, except as expressly authorized in advance by Purchaser; and (b) used except as necessary to provide PCS Services under and as contemplated by this Agreement. Sprint shall not communicate directly with End Users for any purposes, including marketing purposes, except as permitted in Section 14.2. Sprint may disclose Confidential Information, subject to the terms of this Agreement, to any entity (i) for which it is building a wireless network, or (ii) for which it has an obligation to associate the wireless network of the entity to the Sprint Network; provided, however that such disclosure is necessary for such build or association.
15.2. | Care |
The receiving Party must provide the same care to avoid disclosure or unauthorized use of the Confidential Information as it provides to protect its own similar proprietary information. All Confidential Information must be retained by the receiving Party in a secure place with access limited to only those of the receiving Partys employees, lenders, purchasers, investors, agents, Affiliates, attorneys, accountants, consultants, or content providers who need to know that information for purposes of this Agreement and to third parties as the disclosing Party has consented to by prior written approval provided any such recipient of the other Partys Confidential Information either agree in writing to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in a manner substantially equivalent to that required under this Section 15.2 or are otherwise under an obligation of confidentiality under (i) applicable law or regulation or (ii) any mandatory industry code or policy and any standard enforceable by law (e.g., a states bar rules on professional conduct). Confidential Information supplied is not to be reproduced in any form except as required to accomplish the intent of this Agreement. In the case of End User Account Information, Sprint shall use the same level of care to avoid disclosure or unauthorized use of End User Account Information as it provides to protect similar information with respect to its Retail Subscribers.
15.3. | Return |
All Confidential Information, unless otherwise specified in writing, must be returned to the disclosing Party or destroyed after the receiving Partys need for it has expired or upon request of the disclosing Party. At the request of the disclosing Party, the receiving Party will furnish a certificate of an officer of the receiving Party certifying that Confidential Information not returned to disclosing Party has been destroyed.

15.5. | Relief |
The limitations of liability in this Agreement do not apply to either Partys violations of this Section. If either Party violates or threatens to violate this Section, the other Party may exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement and any other right or remedy that it may have (now or hereafter existing) at law, in equity or under statute. The Parties agree that damages for violations of this Section may be difficult to ascertain or inadequate and that if either Party violates or threatens to violate this Section, the other Party may suffer irreparable harm and therefore may seek injunctive relief in addition to any other right or remedy under this Agreement and any other right or remedy that it may have (now or hereafter existing) at law, in equity or under statute.
15.6. | Information Security |
For purposes of this Section 15.6, Security Standards means best commercial security features in all material hardware and software systems and platforms that Purchaser uses to access Sprints Confidential Information.
(i) | To protect Sprints Confidential Information from unauthorized use, including disclosure, loss or alteration, Purchaser will meet the Security Standards and (ii) inventory and test Security Standards before accepting Sprints Confidential Information. | ||

(iii) | Purchaser will promptly inform Sprint of any known or suspected compromises of Sprints Confidential Information as a result of Purchasers failure to comply with the Security Standards. |
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 15, if Purchaser fails to meet the obligations in this Section 15.6, Sprint will notify Purchaser of this failure as provided in this Agreement. Purchaser will have 30 days from receiving that notice to correct the cause for such failure. If Purchaser has failed to remedy the failure within this 30-day period, Sprint has the right to terminate this Agreement to the extent provided in Section 13.1.
15.7. | SEC Filing |
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 15, if Purchaser is required by law to disclose and file this Agreement with the SEC, Purchaser may disclose and file this Agreement with the SEC, provided that Purchaser must notify Sprint and allow Sprint to identify language in the Agreement it deems should be redacted prior to such filing and disclosure. Purchaser will use its reasonable efforts to redact portions of the Agreement that Sprint identifies as described herein prior to its disclosure and filing with the SEC,

except to the extent that disclosure of any such portions are required by the applicable rules, regulations, bulletins, and practices of the SEC. If Purchaser receives any notice or other indication from the SEC that its request for confidential treatment has been denied with respect to the identified pricing under this Agreement, it will promptly notify Sprint and the Parties will thereafter work together to coordinate the appropriate response.
16. | Assignment |
Purchaser may not assign this Agreement without Sprints prior written consent unless the assignment is to an Affiliate or in connection with a Change of Control Event or Competitive Acquisition with regard to which the Agreement is not terminated pursuant to Section 14.1 above, which consent may be granted or denied in Sprints sole discretion. Sprint may not assign this Agreement without Purchasers prior written consent unless the assignment is to an Affiliate or in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of Sprint (and its Affiliates) assets, which consent may be granted or denied in Purchasers sole discretion. Neither Party shall be relieved of their obligations under this Agreement as a result of any assignment permitted under this Section 16 or otherwise. Any assignment in violation of this provision is null and void.

Any other rates and charges will be as mutually agreed by the Parties pursuant to a written amendment to this Agreement; provided, however, that Sprint acknowledges and agrees that there are a number of its obligations for which there is not a separate charge or rate specified in this Agreement and that nothing in this Schedule 1.0 shall limit Sprints responsibility to perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement. | ||

2.1. | Handset and Aircard Service Usage Pricing |
2.1.1. | MRC Price Plans Handsets. |
Purchaser may assign each End User with a Handset to any Pricing Bundle (as defined in Section 2.1.1(a)) or, subject to applicable restrictions, the Suspend Plan described in Section 2.1.1(b).
(a) | Monthly Recurring Charge Handsets. |
For purposes of this Schedule 1.0,
Base MRC Bundles mean the bundle plans set forth in Table 1-2 below, as the usage in such plans may be adjusted in accordance with Section 2.1.3.
EOP Active End User means an End User who is assigned to a Pricing Bundle as of the end of a monthly billing cycle.
Monthly Average Handset End Users for a monthly billing cycle means the total number of Net End Users on the first day of the monthly billing cycle and the number of Net End Users at the end of the monthly billing cycle, divided by two (2). For this purpose, Net End Users exclude End Users who only have a Wireless Data Device.
Pricing Bundles means the Base MRC Bundles and any of the bundle plans established pursuant to Section 2.1.3 or 2.1.4.
For each End User assigned to any Pricing Bundle during a monthly billing cycle, Sprint will determine the applicable Monthly Average Handset End User tier set forth in Table 1-1 for such billing cycle based on the number of Monthly Average Handset End Users assigned to any and all Pricing Bundles or the Suspend Plan, which is calculated as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month.
The Monthly Recurring Charges for a monthly billing cycle shall be the sum of the Pricing Bundle MRCs for such cycle. Pricing Bundle MRC for a Pricing Bundle is:
1
Confidential | Execution Copy |
(i) the Monthly Recurring Charge under Table 1-1 that applies to the Pricing Bundle during such cycle; multiplied by
(ii) the total number of End Users assigned to such Pricing Bundle during the monthly billing cycle;
as reduced to reflect any partial monthly billing cycle in accordance with the immediately following paragraph.
The Monthly Recurring Charges for an End User shall be prorated for any partial monthly billing cycle during which the End User is assigned to a Pricing Bundle in accordance with the pro-rating methodology described in Attachment No. 2. For example, if an End User is assigned to a Base MRC Bundle for the first half of a monthly billing cycle, then the Monthly Recurring Charges for such End User for such monthly billing cycle of that Contract Year shall be 50% of the applicable Monthly Recurring Charge. More detailed examples of proration are set forth in Attachment No. 2.

As used above, MB means megabytes (i.e., 1,048,576 bytes, or 2 to the 20th power) of data usage by an End User on the Sprint Network other than in connection with sending or receiving SMSs and KB means Kilobytes (i.e., 1,024 bytes, or 2 to the 10th power) of data usage by an End User on the Sprint Network other than in connection with sending or receiving SMSs. MB exclude all Roaming (domestic and international). For purposes of clarity, the usage of data and charges therefor are set forth in this Schedule 1.0 in MBs, but Sprint shall measure and invoice for such usage on a per KB basis.
In addition, if in any monthly billing cycle Purchaser has MOU, SMS or MB Overage (as defined below), Sprint shall charge Purchaser an amount equal to [***]
The calculation of the overage charges for a monthly billing cycle will be made [***] for each of MOU, SMS and Data. For purposes of this Schedule 1.0, MOU, SMS or MB Overage with respect to a monthly billing cycle is calculated as follows:
MOU, SMS or MB Overage = [***]
A = total usage of the applicable category of usage (MOU, SMS, and MB) for [***] during the monthly billing cycle
Bx = Dx x Ex, where x is the number assigned to the Pricing Bundle (e.g., Pricing Bundle 1, [***])
C = the applicable overage rate set forth in Table 1-3
Dx = the total number of EOP [***] as of the last day of the monthly billing cycle, where x is the number assigned to such Pricing Bundle
Ex = the level of usage set forth in Table 1-2 included in the applicable category of usage with respect to the applicable Pricing Bundle, where x is the number assigned to such Pricing Bundle

(b) | Suspend Plan. |
For End Users assigned to the Suspend Plan, Sprint will charge Purchaser the usage rates set forth in Table 1-4 below for minutes of use of Service. There is no Monthly Recurring Charge or Overage for End Users assigned the Suspend Plan and all usage of such End Users will be billed on a per unit basis as set forth below.

Purchaser will not knowingly assign an End User to the Suspend Plan for greater than [***] days. If Sprint provides notice to Purchaser that an End User has been assigned to the Suspend Plan for a period of greater than [***] days Purchaser will thereafter terminate the End User or assign such End User to one of the other Pricing Bundles. If Purchaser does not terminate such End User or assign such End User to another Pricing Bundle within five days of receipt of notice, Sprint may assign the End User to Pricing Bundle 1 under Section 2.1.1(a), and charge the Bundle 1 Monthly Recurring Charge set forth in Table 1-1, and such End Users will be included in the calculation of Net End Users for such plan and will otherwise be treated as an End User assigned Pricing Bundle 1. Purchaser agrees that it will not change plan assignments with the purpose of artificially extending the [***] day period.
2.1.2. | Price Plans Wireless Data Device |
The charge for End Users use of a Wireless Data Device during a billing cycle is the product of the aggregate number of MBs of usage on the Sprint Network by such Wireless Data Devices and $[***]. For reference, the per KB rate is $[***]. There is no Monthly Recurring Charge or Overage for use of Wireless Data Devices.
2.1.3. | Review of Existing Pricing Bundles. |
At the end of each [***] during the Term commencing with [***], Purchaser may request that Sprint and Purchaser review the actual average MOU, SMS and MB across all End Users with respect to any of the then-current Pricing Bundles. If the actual average MOUs, SMSs or MBs by Handsets assigned to End Users who have selected the same Pricing Bundle during the [***] deviates from the MOU, SMS and/or MB included in such Pricing Bundle by more than the Deadband Percentage, Purchaser may request, and Sprint shall propose within 30 days of such request, commercially reasonable adjustments to the MOU, SMS or MB levels of the applicable then-current Pricing Bundle and the Monthly Recurring Charges associated therewith. The Deadband Percentage for a category of usage (i.e., MOU, SMS or MB) with fewer than [***] units is [***]% and for a category of usage with [***] or more units is [***]%. If the Parties are unable to agree to such Monthly Recurring Charge within 60 days of Purchasers request and Purchaser still wishes to implement a change to the existing Pricing Bundle(s), Purchaser may treat the reasonableness of Sprints proposed adjustment as a dispute under the Agreement. Once the Parties have established a change to an existing Pricing Bundle under this paragraph, such Pricing Bundle will be effective on the first day of the monthly billing cycle immediately following such establishment.

2.1.4. | New Pricing Bundles |
From time to time during the Term, Purchaser may request that new Pricing Bundles be created and implemented. Within 30 days of receipt of such a request, Sprint shall propose a commercially reasonable Monthly Recurring Charge for the new Pricing Bundle. The Parties will then meet to negotiate in good faith such request and response, it being understand that if the Parties are unable to agree to the applicable Monthly Recurring Charge within 60 days after Purchasers request under this Section 2.1.4, and Purchaser still wishes to establish the new Pricing Bundle(s), Purchaser may treat the reasonableness of Sprints proposed Monthly Recurring Charge as a dispute under the Agreement Once the Parties have established a new Pricing Bundle under this paragraph, such Pricing Bundle will be effective on the first day of the monthly billing cycle immediately following such establishment.
2.1.5. | Price Protection |
(a) | General. On August 4, 2010, the In-Service Date and every [***] anniversary of the In-Service Date during the Term (each, a Benchmark Date), the Parties will determine the Benchmark Retail Price [***] (as defined in Section 2.1.5(h) below) and conduct the analysis set forth in this Section 2.1.5. | ||

Attachment No. 2 Billing Rounding and Pro-Ration Policies
There are two types of rounding that take place in Sprints billing system:
| Event Duration: The rounding of events (e.g., calls; data usage) |
| Event Rating: The rounding of charges that result in fractional cents to the nearest whole cent |
Sprint currently rounds each event (call/data usage) up to the next whole second/minute/kilobyte, as applicable. At the end of the bill cycle, each event is rated by multiplying the individual rounded events by the applicable rate(s) at 4 decimal places for voice/SMS/2G data and at 8 decimal places for 3G data, subtotaled at the end user level with the subtotal rounded to four decimal places (whole cent). The billing system then adds all end user subtotaled amounts together per invoice category and rounds the totals to two decimal places for invoice presentation.
The specific rounding policies for voice PCS, 2G data service and 3G data transport service are described in more detail below.
Without limiting the generality of Section 3 of Schedule 1.0, the rounding policies described below are subject to change by Sprint.

Confidential | Execution Copy |
Service | Policy | |
Voice PCS and 2G Data | Sprint will round voice PCS and 2G data service usage on a per-call basis up to the next whole minute or second dependent upon established period rules. At the end of the bill cycle, each rounded call is multiplied by the applicable rate(s) at 4 decimal places and subtotaled by end user, with the subtotal for each end user rounded at the 4th decimal place ($.XXX4 and below is rounded down and $.XXX5 and above is rounded up). Finally, each end users rounded subtotal is then added together based on invoice line item and rounded to 2 decimal places for invoice presentation. |
Service | Policy | |
Sprint 3G Data Transport | Sprint 3G data transport service usage is rounded up to the next whole kilobyte. | |
Rounding up occurs, and a new usage record (IPDR) is created upon the earliest to occur of: | ||
Sprint 3G data transport service usage exceeds 10,000 kilobytes | ||
The beginning of each clock hour | ||
The end of a 3G data session. | ||
An individual 3G data session, depending on the length and number of kilobytes used may generate multiple IPDRs. Sprint will round Sprint 3G data transport service usage on a per IPDR basis up to the next kilobyte. At the end of the bill cycle, each rounded IPDR multiplied by the applicable rate(s) at 8 decimal places and subtotaled by end user, with the subtotal for each end user rounded at the 4th decimal place ($.XXX4 and below is rounded down and $.XXX5 and above is rounded up). Finally, each end users rounded subtotal is then added together based on invoice line item and rounded to 2 decimal places for invoice presentation. |

Sprint bills monthly recurring charges (MRC) in advance on its invoices. Sprint will pro-rate the MRC based upon a set 30 day period (not calendar month) when an end user (1) activates in the middle of a bill cycle, or (2) if an end users price plan changes in the middle of a bill cycle, or (3) if an end user deactivates or cancels service in the middle of a bill cycle.
Pro-rated MRC is based upon the number of days remaining in the bill cycle and include a charge or credit amount on the invoice, if applicable, as well as the regular MRC for the next month, where applicable. MRC credits are applied a month in arrears.
The following is an example of how Sprint applies a pro-rated charge to an MRC.
Step | Action | |
1 | The MVNO is on bill cycle 29, which covers the timeframe from the 29th of the month to the 28th of the following month, or for this example, June Cycle 29 covers all activity from 5/29 to 6/28. | |
2 | A new end user activates on 6/22 under a price plan with a $10 MRC. | |
3 | On the MVNOs 6/29 invoice, they will be charged the following : $2.33 pro-rated MRC for 6/22 to 6/28 plus $10 advance MRC for 6/29 to 7/28 for a total charge of $12.33. Pro-rated MRC will be calculated as follows: ($10 divided by 30 days = $.3333 daily MRC rate, multiplied by 7 days). | |
4 | The MVNO will be billed an advanced MRC of $10 on each subsequent bill cycle as long as the end user remains on the $10 plan. |
The following is an example of how Sprint applies a pro-rated credit and charge to an MRC.
Step | Action | |
1 | The MVNO is in bill cycle 29, which covers the period beginning on the 29th of each month to the 28th of the following month, or for this example, July Cycle 29 covers all activity from 6/29 to 7/28. | |
2 | An end user has a plan swap from a $10 plan to a $20 plan. $10 plan expires on 7/5 and the $20 plan has an Effective Date of 7/6. | |
3 | On the MVNOs 7/29 invoice, they will receive a MRC Credit of $7.67 for the advance MRC charge that was billed on their 6/29 invoice for the $10 plan. MRC Credit will calculate as follows: ($10 divided by 30 days = $.3333 daily MRC rate, multiplied by 23 days) for the period 7/6 to 7/28. |

Step | Action | |
4 | In addition, the MVNO will be charged a pro-rated MRC of $15.33 for being on the new price plan from 7/6 to 7/28 plus a $20 advance MRC for the period 7/29 to 8/28. The pro-rated MRC charge will calculate as follows: ($20 divided by 30 days = $.6666 daily MRC rate, multiplied by 23 days). The total MRC Charge that will appear on the MVNOs 7/29 invoice will be $27.66, which breaks out as follows: | |
$15.33 (pro-rated MRC new $20 plan) plus $20 (advance MRC new $20 plan) minus $7.67 (advance MRC credit from old $10 plan). | ||
5 | The MVNO will be billed an advanced MRC of $20 on each subsequent bill cycle as long as the end user remains on the $20 plan. |
The following is an example of an End User who is on the Suspend Plan during a given month and reactivates on the same $20 Pricing Bundle in the same month.
Step | Action | |
1. | The MVNO is in bill cycle 29, which covers the period beginning on the 29th of each month to the 28th of each following month, or for this example, July Cycle 29 covers all activity from 6/29 to 7/28. | |
2. | An end user who was active on 6/29 on a $20 Pricing Bundle swaps to the Suspend Plan on 7/15 and then swaps back to the same $20 Pricing Bundle on 7/20. | |
3. | On the MVNOs 7/29 invoice, they will receive a MRC Credit of $8.67 for the advance MRC charge that was billed on their 6/29 invoice for the $20 Pricing Bundle Plan. The MRC Credit will calculate as follows: ($20 divided by 30 days = $.6666 daily MRC rate, multiplied by 13 days) for the period 7/16 to 7/28. Then when the end user is swapped back to the $20 Pricing Bundle Plan a pro-rated MRC of $5.33 will be charged. The pro-rated MRC charge will calculate as follows: | |
($20 divided by 30 days = $.6666 daily MRC rate, multiplied by 8 days) for the period 7/21 to 7/28. In addition on the 7/29 invoice the end user will be charged a $20 Advance MRC for period of 7/29 8/28 | ||
4. | The MVNO will be billed an advanced MRC of $20 on each subsequent bill cycle as long as the end user remains on the $20 plan. |
