2.7 New Section 9.4 of the Agreement. A new Section 9.4 shall be added to the Agreement as follows:
Section 9.4. Specified Claims Indemnification.
(a) Effective from and after the SoftBank US Mergers Effective Time, SoftBank shall fully indemnify T-Mobile and its subsidiaries (including the SoftBank Surviving Entity, the Surviving Corporation and their respective subsidiaries) and each of its and their respective successors and assigns (each, a Section 9.4 Indemnitee) against and shall hold each of them harmless from (i) any and all damages payable to a third party pursuant to a final, non-appealable judgment, and other monetary Losses incurred or suffered by any such Section 9.4 Indemnitee (including amounts incurred or suffered by Sprint or any of its subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date, in accordance with (and subject to) Section 9.4(a)(i) of the Sprint Disclosure Letter) arising out of, attributable to or resulting from any third-party Action arising out of, attributable to or resulting from the matters set forth on Section 9.4(a)(i) of the Sprint Disclosure Letter, and (ii) the loss of value to T-Mobile and its subsidiaries (including the SoftBank Surviving Entity, the Surviving Corporation and their respective subsidiaries) arising out of, attributable to or resulting from any loss, termination, cancellation or other cessation of access to any spectrum owned, held, leased or licensed by, or otherwise made available to, Sprint or any of its subsidiaries as of the Amendment Effective Date (any such spectrum, the Lost Spectrum) that arises out of, is attributable to or results from the matters set forth on Section 9.4(a)(i)(B) of the Sprint Disclosure Letter, which such loss of value shall be determined in accordance with Section 9.4(a)(ii) of the Sprint Disclosure Letter (the matters set forth in (i) and (ii) together, the Specified Claims); provided that until the aggregate amount of all Losses for which indemnification is available under this Section 9.4 for the Specified Claims set forth on Section 9.4(a)(i)(B) of the Sprint Disclosure Letter exceeds $200,000,000, SoftBank shall only bear 50% of such Losses up to an aggregate of $200,000,000 of Losses. For clarity, if the aggregate amount of all Losses for which indemnification is available under this Section 9.4 for the Specified Claims set forth on Section 9.4(a)(i)(B) of the Sprint Disclosure Letter exceeds $200,000,000, SoftBank shall bear 100% of such Losses in excess of $200,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.4, the maximum amount of all Losses for which indemnification is available under this Section 9.4 for the Specified Claims set forth on Section 9.4(a)(i)(B) of the Sprint Disclosure Letter is the amount set forth on Section 9.4(e)(i) of the Sprint Disclosure Letter.
(b) The obligations of SoftBank to indemnify the Section 9.4 Indemnitees for the Specified Claims pursuant to this Section 9.4 shall survive the Closing with respect to any matter for which indemnification is claimed on or prior to the fifth (5th) year anniversary of the Closing Date until the final resolution of such claim.
-6-
(c) Any liability of SoftBank under this Section 9.4 shall be satisfied by payment by SoftBank to T-Mobile of cash in United States dollars.
(d) The amount of any losses for which indemnification is provided under this Section 9.4 will be reduced by any indemnity, contribution or similar payment, or insurance proceeds or similar source of reimbursement, actually recovered by the applicable Section 9.4 Indemnitee from any third party with respect thereto (net of any recovery or collection costs and expenses). If the amount of any payment required under this Section 9.4 is reduced pursuant to the prior sentence of this Section 9.4(d) after the date on which SoftBank is required pursuant to this Section 9.4 to pay such indemnification claim, the Section 9.4 Indemnitee will promptly reimburse SoftBank any amount that SoftBank would not have had to pay pursuant to this Section 9.4 had such amount been recovered or realized by the Section 9.4 Indemnitee, in each case at the time of such indemnification payment by SoftBank.
(e) T-Mobile acknowledges and agrees that, after the Closing, except in the case of fraud, its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Section 9.4 shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 9.4. In furtherance of the foregoing, T-Mobile hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action relating to the subject matter of this Section 9.4 it may have against SoftBank arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 9.4 or in the case of fraud.
(f) The provisions of Sections 9.3(a) (other than the second sentence), 9.3(b), 9.3(c), 9.3(d) and 9.3(f) shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to the obligations of SoftBank to indemnify the Section 9.4 Indemnitees for the Specified Claims pursuant to this Section 9.4; provided, that (i) for clarity, references in each such provision to Article IX Indemnitee shall be understood to mean Section 9.4 Indemnitee and (ii) with respect to the Specified Claims, control of the defense and resolution thereof shall be in accordance with Section 9.4(e)(ii) of the Sprint Disclosure Letter. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9.3(g) shall apply to this Section 9.4.
(g) T-Mobile shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) to, use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses that are indemnifiable or recoverable under Section 9.4(a)(i), provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, no person entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.4 shall be required to, or to commit or agree to, (i) pay any amount, incur any obligation or liability, or offer, grant, commit or agree to any accommodation, limitation, restriction, condition, concession or remedy (financial or otherwise), in each case that is not (A) de minimis and ministerial or
-7-
administrative in nature or (B) reimbursed and indemnified by SoftBank, (ii) take or do, or cause to be taken or done, or forgo from taking or doing, or causing to be taken or done, any action that such person in its reasonable discretion determines would contravene any agreement, instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, authorization, consent, approval or Law, or (iii) have any duty to mitigate any losses that may be indemnifiable or recoverable under this Section 9.4 or in connection herewith, except as expressly set forth in this Section 9.4(g). The right of any person entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.4 to indemnification for any Losses shall not be affected by any investigation conducted, or knowledge or information acquired or capable of being acquired, by such person (or any representative of such person or its affiliates), whether before or after the date hereof or the Closing Date.
