**AT&T INC.**

**SEPTEMBER 30, 2025**

**<u>NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)</u>**

Dollars in millions except per share amounts

**NOTE 1. PREPARATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**Basis of Presentation** Throughout this document, AT&T Inc. is referred to as "we," "AT&T" or the "Company." The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries and affiliates which we control. AT&T is a holding company whose subsidiaries and affiliates operate worldwide in the telecommunications and technology industries. You should read this document in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those for the full year. These consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the results for the presented interim periods, consisting of normal recurring accruals and other items.

The consolidated financial statements include our controlled subsidiaries, as well as variable interest entities (VIE) where we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities that we do not control but have significant influence are accounted for under the equity method.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions, including estimates of fair value, probable losses and expenses, that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior period amounts have been conformed to the current period's presentation providing further disaggregation of activities within Cash from Operations in our consolidated statements of cash flows and additional revenue categories for our Business Wireline and Consumer Wireline business units (see Note 5).

**Stock Repurchase Program** In December 2024, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10,000 of AT&T common stock. We began buying back stock under this program in the second quarter of 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we had repurchased approximately 87 million shares totaling $2,444 under this authorization, excluding brokerage fees and the one percent excise tax imposed by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

To implement repurchase authorizations, we use open market repurchase programs, relying on Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 where feasible.

**Tax Legislation** On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted, which restores or makes permanent certain expiring business tax provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. As a result of the legislation, we reduced our taxable income position and, at September 30, 2025, "Prepaid and other current assets" on our consolidated balance sheet included $3,467 of current tax assets, compared to $2,236 at December 31, 2024. The legislation did not materially impact our income tax expense, but we expect it will result in a material decrease to cash taxes paid relative to our expectations.

**New Accounting Standards**

***Internal-Use Software*** In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (ASU 2025-06). ASU 2025-06 removes references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages and requires software cost capitalization when management has authorized and committed to funding, and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software used for its intended function. ASU 2025-06 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are evaluating the impacts of our adoption of ASU 2025-06 and currently do not expect that it will have a material impact on our financial statements.

**AT&T INC.**

**SEPTEMBER 30, 2025**

**<u>NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - Continued</u>**

Dollars in millions except per share amounts

**NOTE 4. SEGMENT INFORMATION**

Our segments are comprised of strategic business units or other operations that offer products and services to different customer segments over various technology platforms and/or in different geographies that are managed accordingly. We have two reportable segments: Communications and Latin America.

Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) is our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President. Our CODM uses operating income to evaluate performance and allocate resources, including capital allocations, when managing the business. Our CODM manages operations through the review of actual and forecasted "Operations and Support Expenses" information at a segment and business unit level, with Communications and Latin America segments primarily evaluated on a direct cost basis and comprised of equipment, compensation, network and technology, sales, advertising and other costs.

Additionally, business unit expenses within the Communications segment include direct and shared costs. Direct costs are incurred in support of products and services offered by the business units, such as equipment costs (predominantly wireless devices), network access, rents, leases, sales support, customer provisioning and commission expenses. Shared costs amongst the business units generally include information technology, network engineering and construction costs, advertising and other general and administrative expenses.

The ***Communications segment*** provides wireless and wireline telecom and broadband services to consumers located in the U.S. and businesses globally. Our business strategies reflect integrated product offerings that cut across product lines and utilize shared assets. This segment contains the following business units:

• **Mobility** provides nationwide wireless service and equipment.

• **Business Wireline** provides advanced ethernet-based fiber services, fixed wireless services, IP Voice and managed professional services, as well as legacy voice and data services and related equipment, to business customers.

• **Consumer Wireline** provides broadband services, including fiber connections that provide multi-gig services, and our fixed wireless access product (AT&T Internet Air or "AIA") that provides internet services delivered over our 5G wireless network, to residential customers in select locations. Consumer Wireline also provides legacy telephony voice communication services.

The ***Latin America segment*** provides wireless services and equipment in Mexico.

*Corporate and Other* reconciles our segment results to consolidated operating income and income before income taxes.

Corporate includes*:*

• *DTV-related retained costs*, which are costs previously allocated to the Video business that were retained, net of reimbursements from DIRECTV Entertainment Holdings, LLC (DIRECTV) under transition service agreements. With the sale of our remaining interest in DIRECTV, we will no longer report these costs in 2026.

• *Parent administration support*, which includes costs borne by AT&T where the business units do not influence decision making.

• *Securitization fees* associated with our sales of receivables (see Note 8).

• *Value portfolio*, which are businesses no longer integral to our operations or which we no longer actively market.

Other items consist of*:*

• *Certain significant items*, which includes items associated with the merger and integration of acquired or divested businesses, including amortization of intangible assets, employee separation charges associated with voluntary and/or strategic offers, asset impairments and abandonments and restructuring, and other items for which the segments are not being evaluated.

"Interest expense," "Other income (expense) – net" and "Equity in net income (loss) of affiliates" are managed only on a total company basis and are, accordingly, reflected only in consolidated results.

**Deferred Customer Contract Acquisition and Fulfillment Costs**

Costs to acquire and fulfill customer contracts, including commissions on service activations for our Mobility, Business Wireline and Consumer Wireline services, are deferred and amortized over the contract period or expected customer relationship life, which typically ranges from three years to five years.

The following table presents the deferred customer contract acquisition and fulfillment costs included on our consolidated balance sheets:

---

|:---|:---|:---|
| | **September 30,** | December 31, |

**Contract Assets and Liabilities**

A contract asset is recorded when revenue is recognized in advance of our right to bill and receive consideration. The contract asset will decrease as services are provided and billed. For example, when installment sales include promotional discounts (e.g., trade-in device credits) the difference between revenue recognized and consideration received is recorded as a contract asset to be amortized over the contract term.

Our contract assets primarily relate to our wireless businesses. Promotional equipment sales where we offer handset credits, which are allocated between equipment and service in proportion to their standalone selling prices, when customers commit to a

Dollars in millions except per share amounts

specified service period result in additional contract assets recognized. These contract assets will amortize over the service contract period, resulting in lower future service revenue.

When consideration is received in advance of the delivery of goods or services, a contract liability is recorded. Reductions in the contract liability will be recorded as we satisfy the performance obligations.

The following table presents contract assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **September 30,** | December 31, |
| ***Consolidated Balance Sheets*** | **2025** | 2024 |
| **Contract asset** | $**7293** | $6855 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Current portion in "Prepaid and other current assets" | **4036** | 3845 |
| **Contract liability** | **4116** | 4272 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Current portion in "Advanced billings and customer deposits" | **3767** | 3981 |

---

Our beginning of period contract liability recorded as customer contract revenue during 2025 was $3,581.

**Remaining Performance Obligations**

Remaining performance obligations represent services we are required to provide to customers under bundled or discounted arrangements, which are satisfied as services are provided over the contract term. In determining the transaction price allocated, we do not include non-recurring charges and estimates for usage, nor do we consider arrangements with an original expected duration of less than one year, which are primarily prepaid wireless and residential internet agreements.

Remaining performance obligations associated with business contracts reflect recurring charges billed, adjusted to reflect estimates for sales incentives and revenue adjustments. Performance obligations associated with wireless contracts are estimated using a portfolio approach in which we review all relevant promotional activities, calculating the remaining performance obligation using the average service component for the portfolio and the average device price. As of September 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $42,017, of which we expect to recognize approximately 65% by the end of 2026, with the balance recognized thereafter.

**NOTE 6. PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS**

Many of our employees are covered by one of our noncontributory pension plans. We also provide certain medical, dental, life insurance and death benefits to certain retired employees under various plans and accrue actuarially determined postretirement benefit costs. Our objective in funding these plans, in combination with the standards of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), is to accumulate assets sufficient to provide benefits described in the plans to employees upon their retirement. We do not have significant funding requirements in 2025. We intend to voluntarily contribute approximately $1,500 to our pension plan by the end of 2026, with more than half of that in 2025, including $400 contributed during the third quarter of 2025.

We recognize actuarial gains and losses on pension and postretirement plan assets in our consolidated results as a component of "Other income (expense) – net" at our annual measurement date of December 31, unless earlier remeasurements are required.

We also provide senior- and middle-management employees with nonqualified, unfunded supplemental retirement and savings plans. Net supplemental pension benefits costs not included in the table above were $16 and $17 in the third quarter and $48 and $50 for the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURE**

The Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure framework in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement," provides a three-tiered fair value hierarchy based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 refers to fair values determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant other observable inputs and Level 3 includes fair values estimated using significant unobservable inputs.

The level of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The valuation methodologies described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of future net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. We believe our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants. The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the methodologies used since December 31, 2024.

The carrying amount of debt with an original maturity of less than one year approximates fair value. The fair value measurements used for notes and debentures are considered Level 2 and are determined using various methods, including quoted prices for identical or similar securities in both active and inactive markets.

Following is the fair value leveling for investment securities that are measured at fair value and derivatives as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Derivatives designated as hedging instruments are reflected as "Prepaid and other current assets," "Other Assets," "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities," and "Other noncurrent liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets.

**Investment Securities**

Our investment securities include both equity and debt securities that are measured at fair value, as well as equity securities without readily determinable fair values. A substantial portion of the fair values of our investment securities is estimated based on quoted market prices. Investments in equity securities not traded on a national securities exchange are valued at cost, less any impairment, and adjusted for changes resulting from observable, orderly transactions for identical or similar securities.

**<u>NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - Continued</u>**

Investments in debt securities not traded on a national securities exchange are valued using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows.

The components comprising total gains and losses in the period on equity securities are as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | Three months ended | Three months ended | Nine months ended | Nine months ended |
| | September 30, | September 30, | September 30, | September 30, |

| Gains (losses) recognized on equity securities sold | **1** |  | **1** | (8) |
| Unrealized gains (losses) recognized on equity securities held at end of period | $**42** | $80 | $**63** | $214 |

---

At September 30, 2025, available-for-sale debt securities totaling $661 have maturities as follows - less than one year: $80; one to three years: $120; three to five years: $90; five or more years: $371.

Our cash equivalents (money market securities) and short-term investments (certificate and time deposits) are recorded at amortized cost, and the respective carrying amounts approximate fair values. Short-term investments are recorded in "Prepaid and other current assets" and our investment securities are recorded in "Other Assets" on the consolidated balance sheets.

**Derivative Financial Instruments**

We enter into derivative transactions to manage certain market risks, primarily interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk. This includes the use of interest rate swaps, interest rate locks, foreign exchange forward contracts and combined interest rate foreign exchange contracts (cross-currency swaps). We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We record derivatives on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value that is derived from observable market data, including yield curves and foreign exchange rates (all of our derivatives are Level 2). Cash flows associated with derivative instruments are presented in the same category on the consolidated statements of cash flows as the item being hedged.

*Fair Value Hedging* Periodically, we enter into and designate fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps as fair value hedges. The purpose of these swaps is to manage interest rate risk by managing our mix of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt. These swaps involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts for floating interest rate payments over the life of the swaps without exchange of the underlying principal amount.

We also designate most of our cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange contracts as fair value hedges. The purpose of these contracts is to hedge foreign currency risk associated with changes in spot rates on foreign denominated debt. For cross-currency hedges, we have elected to exclude the change in fair value of the swap related to both time value and cross-currency basis spread from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. For foreign exchange contracts, we have elected to exclude the change in fair value of forward points from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

Unrealized and realized gains or losses from fair value hedges impact the same category on the consolidated statements of income as the item being hedged, including the earnings impact of excluded components. In instances where we have elected to exclude components from the assessment of hedge effectiveness related to fair value hedges, unrealized gains or losses on such excluded components are recorded as a component of accumulated OCI and recognized into earnings over the life of the hedging instrument. Unrealized gains on derivatives designated as fair value hedges are recorded at fair value as assets, and unrealized losses are recorded at fair market value as liabilities. Except for excluded components, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges are offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets or liabilities through earnings. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, no ineffectiveness was measured on fair value hedges.

*Cash Flow Hedging* We designate some of our cross-currency swaps as cash flow hedges to hedge our exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are attributable to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk generated from our foreign-denominated debt. These agreements include initial and final exchanges of principal from fixed foreign denominated amounts to fixed U.S. dollar denominated amounts, to be exchanged at a specified rate that is usually determined by the market spot rate upon issuance. They also include an interest rate swap of a fixed or floating foreign denominated interest rate to a fixed U.S. dollar denominated interest rate.

Unrealized gains on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value as assets and unrealized losses are recorded at fair value as liabilities. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are reported as a component of accumulated OCI and are reclassified into the consolidated statements of income in the same period the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Periodically, we enter into and designate interest rate locks to partially hedge the risk of changes in interest payments attributable to increases in the benchmark interest rate during the period leading up to the probable issuance of fixed-rate debt. We designate our interest rate locks as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses when we settle our interest rate locks are amortized into income over the life of the related debt. Over the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify $59 from accumulated OCI to "Interest expense" due to the amortization of net losses on historical interest rate locks.

*Collateral and Credit-Risk Contingency* We have entered into agreements with our derivative counterparties establishing collateral thresholds based on respective credit ratings and netting agreements. At September 30, 2025, we had posted collateral of $375 (a deposit asset) and held collateral of $405 (a receipt liability). Under the agreements, if AT&T's credit rating had been downgraded two ratings levels by Fitch Ratings, one level by S&P and one level by Moody's before the final collateral exchange in September, we would have been required to post additional collateral of $54. If AT&T's credit rating had been downgraded three ratings levels by Fitch Ratings, two levels by S&P and two levels by Moody's, we would have been required to post additional collateral of $1,756. At December 31, 2024, we had posted collateral of $188 (a deposit asset) and held collateral of $0 (a receipt liability). We do not offset the fair value of collateral, whether the right to reclaim cash collateral (a receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (a payable) exists, against the fair value of the derivative instruments.

**NOTE 8. SALES OF RECEIVABLES**

We have agreements with various third-party financial institutions pertaining to the sales of certain types of our accounts receivable. The most significant of these programs are discussed in detail below and generally consist of (1) receivables arising from equipment installment plans, which are sold for cash and beneficial interests, such as deferred purchase price, when applicable, and (2) revolving trade receivables, which are sold for cash. Under the terms of our agreements for these programs, we continue to service the transferred receivables on behalf of the financial institutions.

**Equipment Installment Receivables Program**

We offer our customers the option to purchase certain wireless devices in installments over a specified period of time and, in many cases, once certain conditions are met, they may be eligible to trade in the original equipment for a new device and have the remaining unpaid balance paid or settled.

We maintain a program under which we transfer a portion of these receivables through our bankruptcy-remote subsidiary in exchange for cash and beneficial interests. In the event a customer trades in a device prior to the end of the installment contract period, we agree to make a payment to the financial institutions equal to any outstanding remaining installment receivable balance. Accordingly, we record a guarantee obligation for this estimated amount at the time the receivables are transferred.

The following table sets forth a summary of equipment installment receivables sold under this program:

Beneficial interests, when applicable, and guarantee obligations are initially recorded at estimated fair value and subsequently adjusted for changes in present value of expected cash flows. The estimation of their fair values is based on remaining installment payments expected to be collected and the expected timing and value of device trade-ins. The estimated value of the device trade-ins considers prices offered to us by independent third parties and contemplates changes in value after the launch of a device model. The fair value measurements used for the beneficial interests and the guarantee obligation are considered Level 3 under the Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure framework (see Note 7).

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our beneficial interests were $1,993 and $3,185, respectively, of which $1,284 and $1,906 are included in "Prepaid and other current assets" on our consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder in "Other Assets." The guarantee obligation at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $222 and $301, respectively, of which $114 and $150 are included in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder in "Other noncurrent liabilities." Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of selling these equipment installment receivables is limited to the total amount of our beneficial interests and guarantee obligation.

**Revolving Receivables Program**

During 2025, we expanded our revolving agreement to transfer up to $2,940 of certain receivables through our bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries to various financial institutions on a recurring basis in exchange for cash equal to the gross receivables transferred. This agreement is subject to renewal on an annual basis and the transfer limit may be expanded or reduced from time to time. As customers pay their balances, we transfer additional receivables into the program, resulting in our gross receivables sold exceeding net cash flow impacts (e.g., collect and reinvest). The transferred receivables are fully guaranteed by our bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries, which hold additional receivables in the amount of $28 that are pledged as collateral under this agreement. The transfers are recorded at fair value of the proceeds received and obligations assumed less derecognized receivables. Our maximum exposure to loss related to these receivables transferred is limited to the derecognized amount outstanding.

**NOTE 9. TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTV**

Prior to its sale, we accounted for our investment in DIRECTV under the equity method and recorded our share of DIRECTV earnings as equity in net income of affiliates, with DIRECTV considered a related party. On July 2, 2025, we sold our interest in DIRECTV to TPG Capital (TPG) and recorded a current note receivable of approximately $3,600, which we expect to receive the majority of by the end of 2025, and a long-term receivable of $500. The disposition of DIRECTV also resulted in the release of approximately $2,900 of historical deferred tax liabilities. We recorded a gain on the sale of DIRECTV of approximately $5,500, which includes the impact of the transfer of deferred tax liabilities, indemnification liabilities and unfavorable contracts, in "Other income (expense) – net" in the consolidated statements of income in the third quarter of 2025.

At September 30, 2025, the current note receivable balance included in "Prepaid and other current assets" on our consolidated balance sheet was $3,291, reflecting approximately $320 collected during the third quarter.

Prior to disposition, in the third quarter of 2024 our investment in DIRECTV was reduced to zero on our consolidated balance sheet, as a result of aggregate cash receipts exceeding our initial investment balance plus our cumulative equity in DIRECTV earnings. As we were not committed, implicitly or explicitly, to provide financial or other support to DIRECTV, we recorded cash distributions received in excess of our share of DIRECTV's earnings in "Equity in net income of affiliates" in the consolidated statements of income and as cash provided by operations in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

**NOTE 10. SUPPLIER AND VENDOR FINANCING PROGRAMS**

**Supplier Financing Program**

We actively manage the timing of our supplier payments for operating items to optimize the use of our cash and seek to make payments on 90-day or greater terms, while providing suppliers with access to bank facilities that permit earlier payment at their cost. Our supplier financing program does not result in changes to our normal, contracted payment cycles or cash from operations.

At the supplier's election, they can receive payment of AT&T obligations prior to the scheduled due dates, at a discounted price from the third-party financial institution. The discounted price paid to participating suppliers is based on a variable rate that is indexed to the overnight borrowing rate. We agree to pay the financial institution the stated amount generally within 90 days of receipt of the invoice. We do not have pledged assets or other guarantees under our supplier financing program.

Suppliers had elected to sell to the third-party financial institutions $4,455 and $2,498 of our outstanding payment obligations as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These amounts are included in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. Our supplier financing programs are reported as operating or investing (when capitalizable) activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows when paid.

**Direct Supplier Financing**

We also have arrangements with suppliers of handset inventory that allow us to extend the stated payment terms by up to 90 days at an additional cost to us (variable rate extension fee). We had $3,992 of direct supplier financing outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and $6,272 as of December 31, 2024, which are included in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. Our direct supplier financing is reported as operating activities in our statements of cash flows when paid.

**Vendor Financing**

We enter into multi-year software licensing arrangements, which, consistent with industry standards, are paid over the license terms of two to five years. Additionally, in connection with capital improvements and the acquisition of other productive assets, we negotiate favorable payment terms of 120 days or more. We refer to these arrangements as vendor financing, with the balances and activities including equipment and software arrangements. Vendor financing payments are reported as financing

activities in our statements of cash flows when paid. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded vendor financing commitments of $1,014 and $581, respectively. We had $1,674 of vendor financing payables at September 30, 2025, with $908 included in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" and $1,448 of vendor financing payables at December 31, 2024, with $749 included in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities."

On March 3, 2025, we also redeemed all outstanding Series B cumulative perpetual preferred shares. The shares had a total liquidation preference of €2.0 billion and were redeemed for $2,075.

***Pending Acquisitions***

On August 25, 2025, we agreed to purchase FCC licenses in the 600 MHz and 3.45 GHz bands from EchoStar Corporation for approximately $23,000, subject to certain adjustments. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026 and is subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions. The FCC licenses will be used to expand our 5G network, meet future capacity demands and support future wireless communications services. We signed a short-term spectrum manager lease on the 3.45 GHz spectrum. We expect these licenses will be deployed in cell sites covering nearly two-thirds of the U.S. population by mid-November 2025.

On May 21, 2025, we agreed to acquire substantially all of Lumen's mass markets fiber business for $5,750 cash, subject to purchase price adjustments. At the time of signing, the pending acquisition covered approximately one million fiber customers, and also included fiber network assets that reached more than four million fiber locations. The transaction is expected to close in early 2026, pending regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.

**Operating revenues** increased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025, reflecting higher Mobility and Consumer Wireline revenues, partially offset by declines in Business Wireline. Operating revenues in Mexico were higher in the third quarter but lower for the first nine months, reflecting unfavorable foreign exchange impacts during the first half of 2025.

**Operations and support expenses** decreased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to a $4,422 noncash goodwill impairment recorded in 2024. Also contributing to lower operating expenses were expense declines from our continued transformation efforts, lower content licensing fees and lower year-to-date restructuring costs. Partially offsetting these declines were higher Mobility equipment costs resulting from increased wireless equipment sales volumes, higher network-related costs and approximately $440 of apportioned legal settlements during the third quarter of 2025.

**Depreciation and amortization** expense increased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to ongoing capital spending for strategic initiatives such as fiber and network upgrades, partially offset by lower depreciation impacts from our Open RAN network modernization efforts. We expect fourth-quarter 2025 depreciation expense to be lower than the comparable prior-year quarter, and full-year expense to be consistent with the prior year as certain legacy assets become fully depreciated.

**Operating income** increased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025. Our operating income margin in the third quarter increased from 7.0% in 2024 to 19.9% in 2025 and for the first nine months increased from 15.2% in 2024 to 19.9% in 2025.

**Interest expense** increased in the third quarter and decreased for the first nine months of 2025. The increase in the third quarter was primarily due to lower capitalized interest associated with spectrum acquisitions. The decrease for the first nine months was

**SEPTEMBER 30, 2025**

**<u>Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations- Continued</u>**

primarily due to lower average debt balances, partially offset by lower capitalized interest associated with spectrum acquisitions.

**Equity in net income (loss) of affiliates** decreased in the third quarter and increased for the first nine months of 2025. The decrease for the quarter is primarily due to the sale of our interest in DIRECTV to TPG Capital on July 2, 2025. The increase for the first nine months is attributable to the cash distributions received by AT&T in excess of the carrying amount of our investment in DIRECTV prior to disposition (see Note 9).

**Other income (expense) – net** increased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025. The increase in the quarter was primarily due to a gain of approximately $5,500 recognized on the sale of our interest in DIRECTV (see Note 9). For the first nine months, the increase was also driven by a second-quarter 2025 gain on a prior disposition and first-quarter 2024 noncash impairment charges for a held-for-sale business and our SKY Mexico equity investment. Partially offsetting the increases in the quarter and for the first nine months were lower pension and postretirement benefit credits and lower returns on other benefit-related investments.

**Income tax expense** decreased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to a lower effective tax rate driven by a tax-free gain on sale of DIRECTV in 2025 and a goodwill impairment in 2024, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

Our effective tax rate was 9.2% in the third quarter and 15.4% for the first nine months of 2025, versus 89.9% and 31.1% in the comparable periods in the prior year, reflecting the nonrecognition of income taxes on the DIRECTV gain and larger discrete state tax benefits in 2025, and the goodwill impairment in 2024, which was not deductible for tax purposes.

**Segment Results** Our segments are comprised of strategic business units or other operations that offer products and services to different customer segments over various technology platforms and/or in different geographies that are managed accordingly. We evaluate segment performance based on operating income as well as EBITDA and/or EBITDA margin. See "Discussion and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" for a reconciliation of EBITDA and EBITDA margin to the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

**Operating revenues** increased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025, primarily driven by increases in our Mobility and Consumer Wireline business units, partially offset by declines in our Business Wireline business unit, which reflects lower demand for legacy services.

**Operating income** decreased in the third quarter and increased for the first nine months of 2025. Our Communications segment operating income margin in the third quarter decreased from 24.6% in 2024 to 24.0% in 2025 and for the first nine months decreased from 24.2% in 2024 to 23.8% in 2025. Our Communications EBITDA margin in the third quarter remained consistent at 41.2% in 2024 and 2025 and for the first nine months increased from 40.7% in 2024 to 40.8% in 2025.

**Service** revenue increased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025, largely due to subscriber gains partially offset by promotional activity. Revenue comparisons in the third quarter were also impacted by approximately $90 of one-time noncash revenues related to administrative fees in 2024.

*ARPU*

Average revenue per subscriber (ARPU) decreased in the third quarter and increased for the first nine months of 2025. The decrease in the quarter includes the impact of one-time revenues related to administrative fees in 2024, as well as promotional activity and our success in attracting customers in underpenetrated segments with lower ARPUs, but attractive lifetime values, such as age 55-plus in our "value customers." The increase for the first nine months was pressured by growth in our base of converged customers, who are typically eligible for service discounts.

*Churn*

The effective management of subscriber churn is critical to our ability to maximize revenue growth and to maintain and improve margins. Postpaid churn and postpaid phone-only churn were higher in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025, partially driven by an increase in our customer base that reached the end of device financing periods, which normalized as we exited the quarter. The increase in churn in the quarter was primarily driven by increased competition.

**Equipment** revenue increased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025, primarily driven by higher wireless device sales volumes.

**Operations and support** expenses increased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to higher equipment costs driven by higher wireless sales volumes. The increase also reflected higher advertising due to the launch of a new campaign in the first quarter, and higher network costs that were partially offset by lower content licensing fees and expense declines from transformation efforts.

**Depreciation** expense increased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to ongoing capital spending for network upgrades and expansion, partially offset by lower depreciation impacts from our network modernization efforts.

**Operating income** increased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025. Our Mobility operating income margin in the third quarter decreased from 33.3% in 2024 to 32.8% in 2025 and for the first nine months decreased from 32.5% in 2024 to 31.9% in 2025. Our Mobility EBITDA margin in the third quarter decreased from 45.1% in 2024 to 44.7% in 2025 and for the first nine months decreased from 44.5% in 2024 to 43.7% in 2025, driven by the increase in low margin equipment revenues.

**Legacy and other transitional services** revenues decreased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025, driven by lower demand for legacy and VPN services, which we expect to continue. These revenue declines were partially offset by targeted pricing actions in the first quarter of 2025.

**Fiber and advanced connectivity services** revenues increased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025, driven by higher fiber and fixed wireless revenues.

**Equipment** revenues decreased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025.

**Operations and support** expenses decreased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025, primarily driven by lower personnel and customer support costs associated with ongoing transformation initiatives, which were partially offset by favorable vendor settlements in the prior-year third quarter. As part of our transformation activities, we expect operations and support expense improvements through the remainder of 2025 as we further right size our operations in alignment with the strategic direction of the business.

**Depreciation** expense increased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to ongoing capital investment for strategic initiatives such as fiber, which we expect to continue through the remainder of 2025.

**Operating income** decreased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025. Our Business Wireline operating income margin in the third quarter decreased from (0.9)% in 2024 to (8.3)% in 2025 and for the first nine months decreased from 0.9% in 2024 to (5.0)% in 2025. Our Business Wireline EBITDA margin in the third quarter decreased from 29.4% in 2024 to 27.8% in 2025 and for the first nine months remained consistent at 29.9% in 2024 and 2025.

**Broadband** revenues increased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025, driven by increases in fiber revenues of 16.8% and 18.2%. Higher fiber revenues reflect an increase in fiber customers, which we expect to continue as we invest further in building our fiber footprint, and higher ARPU. This increase also includes growth in AIA revenues and was partially offset by declines in copper-based broadband services.

**Legacy voice and data services** revenues decreased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025, reflecting the continued decline in demand for these services in favor of other technologies, such as wireless and fiber services.

**Other service and equipment** revenues decreased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025, reflecting the continued decline in the number of VoIP customers.

**Operations and support** expenses decreased in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2025, primarily driven by lower customer support costs and content licensing fees, largely offset by higher network-related costs and higher marketing costs.

**Operations and support** expenses increased in the third quarter and decreased for the first nine months of 2025. The increase in the quarter was primarily due to higher equipment costs, bad debt expense from higher sales and unfavorable exchange rates. The decrease for the first nine months was primarily due to favorable foreign exchange impacts, partially offset by increased equipment and selling costs.

**Depreciation and amortization** expense increased in the third quarter and decreased for the first nine months of 2025. The increase in the quarter was primarily due to accelerated depreciation on certain network assets. The decrease for the first nine months was primarily due to foreign exchange impacts.

**<u>COMPETITIVE AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT</u>**

**Overview** AT&T subsidiaries operating within the United States are subject to federal and state regulations. AT&T subsidiaries operating outside the United States are subject to the jurisdiction of national and supranational regulations in the markets where service is provided. Complying with these regulations may affect our results of operations and cash flow, and compliance may be very costly.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted, which restores or makes permanent certain expiring business tax provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The legislation did not materially impact our income tax expense, but we expect that it will result in a material decrease to cash taxes paid relative to our expectations.

For further discussion of regulations impacting AT&T and its subsidiaries, please see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Regulatory Landscape" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2024.

For the first nine months of 2025, cash inflows were primarily provided by cash receipts from operations, including cash from our sale and transfer of our receivables to third parties, and distributions from DIRECTV. These inflows exceeded cash used to meet the needs of the business, including, but not limited to, payment of operating expenses, including higher device payments from higher sales volumes. The cash generated from operating activities was primarily used to fund capital improvements, make dividend payments to stockholders, repurchase preferred and common stock, and repay long-term debt. We maintain availability under our credit facilities and our commercial paper program to meet our short-term liquidity requirements.

**Cash Provided by Operating Activities**

During the first nine months of 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $28,964, compared to $26,875 for the first nine months of 2024, with increases resulting from higher cash flows related to DIRECTV, including a first-quarter 2025 dividend of $1,138, and operational growth. Partially offsetting this increase and lowering cash from operations during the first nine months of 2025, were advanced cash payments of approximately $1,000 for wholesale access which can be utilized on invoices over future periods.

We actively manage the timing of our supplier payments for operating items to optimize the use of our cash. Among other things, we seek to make payments on 90-day or greater terms, while providing the suppliers with access to bank facilities that permit earlier payments at their cost (referred to as supplier financing program). In addition, for payments to suppliers of handset inventory, as part of our working capital initiatives, we have arrangements that allow us to extend the stated payment terms by up to 90 days at an additional cost to us (referred to as direct supplier financing). The net impact of direct supplier financing, including principal and interest payments, was to decrease cash from operating activities approximately $2,430 and $3,648 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. All supplier financing payments are due within one year. (See Note 10)

**Cash Used in Investing Activities**

For the first nine months of 2025, cash used in investing activities totaled $14,433 and consisted primarily of $14,061 (including interest during construction) for capital expenditures. During the first nine months of 2025, investing activities also included $110 of FirstNet sustainability payments net of reinvestment, and $620 for our investment in a new strategic partner related to wireline network transformation accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

On July 2, 2025, we completed the sale of our interest in DIRECTV to TPG and recorded a current note receivable of approximately $3,600, which we expect to receive the majority of by the end of 2025, and a long-term note receivable of $500. As of September 30, 2025, we have collected approximately $320 of the current note receivable.

We enter into multi-year software licensing arrangements, which are typically paid over the license terms of two to five years and referred to as vendor financing. Additionally, for capital improvements, we have negotiated favorable vendor payment terms of 120 days or more with some of our vendors, which are also referred to as vendor financing. Vendor financing is excluded from capital expenditures and reported as financing activities. For the first nine months of 2025, vendor financing payments were $823, compared to $1,571 for the first nine months of 2024. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2025 were $14,061, and when including $823 cash paid for vendor financing, capital investment was $14,884 ($107 lower than the prior-year comparable period).

The vast majority of our capital expenditures are spent on our networks, including product development and related support systems. During the first nine months of 2025, we placed $1,014 of productive assets in service under vendor financing arrangements (compared to $581 in the prior-year comparable period). The amount of capital expenditures is influenced by demand for services and products, capacity needs and network enhancements.

In November 2024, we agreed to purchase select spectrum licenses from United States Cellular Corporation (UScellular) for approximately $1,000, subject to closing conditions, including the consummation of UScellular's sale of its wireless operations and select spectrum assets to T-Mobile US, Inc, which was closed on August 1, 2025.

On May 21, 2025, we agreed to acquire substantially all of Lumen's mass markets fiber business for $5,750 cash, subject to purchase price adjustments. At the time of signing, the pending acquisition covered approximately one million fiber customers, and also included fiber network assets that reached more than four million fiber locations. The transaction is expected to close in early 2026, pending regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.

On August 25, 2025, we agreed to purchase FCC licenses in the 600 MHz and 3.45 GHz bands from EchoStar Corporation for approximately $23,000, subject to certain adjustments. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026 and is subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions. The FCC licenses will be used to expand our 5G network, meet future capacity demands and support future wireless communications services. We signed a short-term spectrum manager lease on the 3.45 GHz spectrum. We expect these licenses will be deployed in cell sites covering nearly two-thirds of the U.S. population by mid-November 2025.

**Cash Provided by or Used in Financing Activities**

For the first nine months of 2025, cash provided by financing activities totaled $2,391 and was primarily comprised of issuances of long-term debt and preferred interests, offset by dividend payments, preferred and common stock repurchases, debt repayments and vendor financing payments.

A tabular summary of our debt activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | First<br>Quarter | Second <br>Quarter | Third <br>Quarter | Nine months ended September 30, 2025 |

---

The weighted average interest rate of our long-term debt portfolio, including credit agreement borrowings and the impact of derivatives, was approximately 4.2% as of September 30, 2025 and as of December 31, 2024. We had $138,090 of total notes and debentures outstanding at September 30, 2025. This also included Euro, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Swiss franc and Australian dollar denominated debt that totaled approximately $38,496.

At September 30, 2025, we had $11,378 of long-term debt maturing within one year. We had no outstanding commercial paper or other short-term borrowings on September 30, 2025.

For the first nine months of 2025, we paid $823 of cash under our vendor financing program, compared to $1,571 in the prior-year comparable period. Total vendor financing payables included in our September 30, 2025 consolidated balance sheet were $1,674, with $908 due within one year (in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities") and the remainder predominantly due within five years (in "Other noncurrent liabilities").

During the first nine months of 2025, we repurchased approximately 87 million shares totaling $2,444 under our $10,000 common stock repurchase authorization approved by the Board of Directors in December 2024, excluding brokerage fees and the one percent excise tax imposed by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. At September 30, 2025, we had approximately $7,556 remaining under this repurchase authorization.

We paid dividends on common and preferred shares of $6,168 during the first nine months of 2025, compared with $6,171 for the first nine months of 2024.

Dividends on common stock declared by our Board of Directors totaled $0.8325 per share in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024. Our dividend policy considers the expectations and requirements of stockholders, capital funding requirements of AT&T and long-term growth opportunities.

Financing activities in the first nine months of 2025 also included the issuance of $2,250 of nonconvertible cumulative preferred interests in Telco LLC, with the funds used to redeem all outstanding Series B preferred stock for $2,075 (see Note 11). We also received approximately $850 in upfront cash proceeds from a structured sale-leaseback of real estate.

**Credit Facilities**

The following summary of our various credit and loan agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to each agreement filed as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We use credit facilities as a tool in managing our liquidity status. We currently have one $12,000 revolving credit agreement that terminates on November 18, 2029 (Revolving Credit Agreement). No amount was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2025.

**<u>Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations- Continued</u>**

Dollars in millions except per share amounts

We also utilize other external financing sources, which include various credit arrangements supported by government agencies to support network equipment purchases as well as a commercial paper program.

Our Revolving Credit Agreement contains covenants that are customary for an issuer with investment grade senior debt credit rating as well as a net debt-to-EBITDA financial ratio covenant requiring AT&T to maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of not more than 3.75-to-1. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants for our credit facilities.

**Collateral Arrangements**

Most of our counterparty collateral arrangements require cash collateral posting by AT&T only when derivative market values exceed certain thresholds. Under these arrangements, which cover the majority of our approximate $39,142 derivative portfolio, counterparties are still required to post collateral. During the first nine months of 2025, we received $218 of cash collateral, on a net basis. Cash postings under these arrangements vary with changes in credit ratings and netting agreements. (See Note 7)

**Other**

Our total capital consists of debt (long-term debt and debt maturing within one year), redeemable noncontrolling interest and stockholders' equity. Our capital structure does not include debt issued by our equity method investments. At September 30, 2025, our debt ratio was 52.0%, compared to 52.2% at September 30, 2024 and 50.7% at December 31, 2024. The debt ratio is affected by the same factors that affect total capital, and reflects our recent debt issuances, repayments and reclassifications related to redemption of noncontrolling interests.

**<u>DISCUSSION AND RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES</u>**

We also evaluate segment and business unit performance based on EBITDA, which is defined as operating income excluding depreciation and amortization, and/or EBITDA margin, which is defined as EBITDA divided by total revenue. EBITDA is used as part of our management reporting, and we believe EBITDA to be a relevant and useful measurement to our investors as it measures the cash generation potential of our business units. EBITDA does not give effect to depreciation and amortization expenses incurred in operating income nor is it burdened by cash used for debt service requirements and thus does not reflect available funds for distributions, reinvestment or other discretionary uses. There are material limitations to using these non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA and EBITDA margin, as we have defined them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

**<u>Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk</u>**

At September 30, 2025, we had no interest rate swaps.

We have fixed-to-fixed and floating-to-fixed cross-currency swaps on foreign currency-denominated debt instruments with a U.S. dollar notional value of $39,142 to hedge our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These derivatives have been designated as fair value or cash flow hedges with a net fair value of $(1,472) at September 30, 2025.

**<u>Item 4. Controls and Procedures</u>**

The registrant maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the registrant is recorded, processed, summarized, accumulated and communicated to its management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**<u>CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS</u>**

Information set forth in this report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially. Many of these factors are discussed in more detail in the "Risk Factors" section herein and in our most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. We claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The following factors could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements:

• Adverse economic and political changes, public health emergencies and our ability to access financial markets on favorable terms.

• Increases in our benefit plans' costs, including due to worse-than-assumed investment returns and discount rates, mortality assumptions, medical cost trends, or healthcare laws or regulations.

• The final outcome of FCC and other federal, state or foreign government agency proceedings (including judicial review of such proceedings) and legislative and regulatory efforts involving issues important to our business, including, without limitation, the results of pending governmental investigations; the transition from legacy technologies to IP-based infrastructure, including the withdrawal of legacy TDM-based services; universal service; broadband deployment; wireless equipment siting regulations; E911 services; rules concerning digital discrimination; competition policy; privacy; net neutrality; copyright protection; availability of new spectrum on fair and reasonable terms; and wireless and satellite license awards and renewals, and our response to such legislative and regulatory efforts.

• Enactment of or changes to state, local, federal and/or foreign tax laws and regulations, and actions by tax agencies and judicial authorities, and the resolution of disputes with any taxing jurisdictions, pertaining to our subsidiaries and foreign investments.

• U.S. and foreign laws and regulations regarding intellectual property rights protection and privacy, personal data protection and user consent, which are rapidly evolving.

• Our ability to compete in an increasingly competitive industry and against competitors that can offer product/service offerings at lower prices due to lower cost structures and regulatory and legislative actions adverse to us, including non-regulation of comparable alternative technologies and/or government-owned or subsidized networks, and our response to such competition and emerging technologies.

• Disruptions in our supply chain that have a material impact on our ability to acquire needed goods and services.

• The development and delivery of attractive and profitable wireless and broadband offerings and devices, including our ability to match speeds offered by competitors; and the availability, cost and/or reliability of technologies required to provide such offerings.

• Our ability to adequately fund additional wireless spectrum and network development, deployment and maintenance; and regulations and conditions relating to spectrum use, licensing, obtaining additional spectrum, technical standards and deployment and usage, including network management rules.

• Our ability to manage growth in wireless data services, including network quality.

• The outcome of pending, threatened or potential litigation and arbitration.

• The impact from major equipment, software or other failures or errors that disrupt our networks or cyber incidents; the effect of security breaches related to the network or customer information; our inability to obtain handsets, equipment/software or have handsets, equipment/software serviced in a timely and cost-effective manner from suppliers; severe weather conditions or other natural disasters including earthquakes and forest fires; public health emergencies; energy shortages; or wars or terrorist attacks.

• The issuance by the FASB or other accounting oversight bodies of new or revised accounting standards.

• The imposition of tariffs and their duration and uncertainty surrounding further tariffs and congressional action regarding spending and taxation, which may result in changes in government spending and affect the ability and willingness of businesses and consumers to spend in general.

• Our ability to realize or sustain the expected benefits of our business transformation initiatives, which are designed to reduce costs, enable legacy rationalization, streamline distribution, remove redundancies and simplify and improve processes and support functions.

• Our ability to successfully complete divestitures, as well as achieve our expectations regarding the financial impact of completed and/or pending transactions.

Readers are cautioned that other factors discussed in this report and in our most recent Form 10-K, although not enumerated here, also could materially affect our future earnings.

Each Party shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law; *<u>provided</u>*, that the Party entitled to deduct and withhold shall provide at least ten (10) Business Days' prior notice to the other Party of any intention to deduct and withhold on any payment to the Seller Parties (and to include in such notice the legal authority and the calculation method for the expected deduction or withholding). To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which the deduction and withholding was made. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to minimize the amount of any deduction or withholding required to the extent permitted under applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4<u>Right to Exclude Certain Licenses</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)During the period from the Effective Date until the Closing Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Buyer, at its option, by written notice to the Seller Parties, may from time to time remove any one or more of (x) the Seller Licenses (an "<u>Excluded License</u>"), or (y) the Hawaii Lease Agreements that would otherwise constitute Extended Hawaii Lease Agreements (an "<u>Excluded Hawaii Lease Agreement</u>," and, together with any Excluded License, an "<u>Excluded Asset</u>") if (A) such Excluded Asset is Impaired; (B) there is any Order by any Governmental Authority (including the FCC Consent) that remains in effect two (2) Business Days prior to the earlier of (x) the end of the Initial Extension Period, or (y) the date on which all of the conditions set forth in <u>ARTICLE 7</u> have been satisfied or waived, other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at Closing, containing a condition that requires Buyer to divest such Seller License or any other FCC Authorization held by Buyer (any such impairment, a "<u>Regulatory Impairment</u>"); or (C) the FCC denies any 600 MHz Build-Out Showings or takes any action to terminate any of the 600 MHz Licenses and such denial or action remains in effect two (2) Business Days prior to prior to (x) the end of the Initial Extension Period, or (y) the date on which all of the conditions set forth in <u>ARTICLE 7</u> have been satisfied or waived, other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at Closing, or denies the separate extension requests filed in June 2025 with respect to certain 600 MHz Licenses, in each case, with respect to such Excluded Asset (each of clauses <u>(A)</u> through <u>(C</u>), a "<u>Buyer Excluded Asset Event</u>"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the Seller Parties, at their option, by written notice to Buyer, may from time to time remove any one or more of the Excluded Assets if such Excluded Asset is Impaired and the Impairment of such Excluded Asset would otherwise cause any of conditions to Buyer's obligations to consummate the Transactions pursuant to <u>Section 7.1</u> or <u>Section 7.3</u> of

<br> <br>

------

this Agreement not to be satisfied (a "<u>Seller Party Excluded Asset Event</u>," and, together with the Buyer Excluded Asset Events, the "<u>Excluded Asset Events</u>"); <u>provided</u> that no FCC action with respect to the 600 MHz Build-Out Extensions, 600 MHz Build-Out Obligations or 600 MHz Build-Out Showings shall trigger a Seller Party Excluded Asset Event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Closing Purchase Price shall be reduced, with respect to each such Excluded Asset, by an amount equal to the portion of the Closing Purchase Price allocated to such Excluded Asset as set forth on <u>Exhibit A</u> (each such individual allocated amount, the "<u>Exclusion Reduction</u>"); <u>provided</u> that, if Buyer is either (x) in breach of any Buyer Fundamental Representations, or (y) in breach of any other representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements set forth in this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, and such breach is the direct cause of any Seller License or Hawaii Lease Agreement to be excluded pursuant to this <u>Section 2.4</u>, then the Closing Purchase Price shall not be reduced by the Exclusion Reduction related to such Excluded Asset.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)In the event (1) all of the conditions set forth in <u>ARTICLE 7</u> have been satisfied or waived, other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing, (2) one or more Seller Licenses or Hawaii Licenses are determined to be Impaired and (3) the Exclusion Reduction amounts associated with such Seller License or Hawaii License, together with all other Exclusion Reduction amounts, would not result in the Excluded Asset Materiality Threshold being exceeded, then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the portion of the Closing Purchase Price associated with such Seller License and/or Hawaii License that remain Impaired shall not be paid at Closing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)if the Seller Parties cure such Impairment within ninety (90) days after any Seller Party becomes aware of such Impairment, such Excluded Asset shall be transferred to the Buyer Assignee Parties (or their designees) promptly following the date on which such Impairment is fully cured and subject to the satisfaction of the condition set forth in <u>Section 7.2(a)</u> with respect to such Excluded Asset, in exchange for the payment by the Seller Parties of the portion of the Closing Purchase Price allocated to such Seller License or Hawaii License as set forth in <u>Exhibit A.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)The Parties understand and agree that for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the condition set forth in <u>Section 7.3(e)</u>, any Seller License or Hawaii License that would be deemed to be Impaired but for the provision of the cure period allowing for the Impairment to be cured shall, at the time that all other conditions set forward in <u>ARTICLE 7</u> have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing) be deemed to be Impaired.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Removal of any Excluded Asset pursuant to this <u>Section 2.4</u> shall not affect any rights Buyer may have based on any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder with respect to any matter relating to such Seller License, Extended Hawaii Lease Agreement or any Seller License arising prior to notice by Buyer to the Seller Parties of the removal of the Seller License or Extended Hawaii Lease Agreement, as applicable, or prior to such Seller License or Extended Hawaii Lease Agreement, as applicable, being deemed an Excluded Asset, as the case may be.

<br> <br>

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5<u>Tax Treatment</u>. The Parties agree that extending the term of each Hawaii Lease Agreement for a period of ninety-nine (99) years qualifies as a sale for all applicable Tax purposes. The Parties agree to report the amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement in a manner consistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar state, local or non-U.S. law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6<u>Pending Assignments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Seller License that, as of the Effective Date, is subject to a pending assignment as set forth on <u>Exhibit A</u> to a Seller Party (or its Affiliates) and, as of the Closing Date, has not yet been assigned or transferred to such Seller Party (a "<u>Pending Assignment License</u>") shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)be excluded from determining the satisfaction of any condition set forth in <u>Article 7</u>, including <u>Section 7.2(d)</u> and <u>Section 7.3(e)</u>;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)not constitute a breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant set forth in this Agreement as a result of the assignment of such Pending Assignment Licenses to the Seller Parties not being consummated at or prior to the Closing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary, if and to the extent that the subject matter of a representation or warranty in <u>Article 3</u> relates to a Pending Assignment License in respect of a period during which such Pending Assignment License was not directly or indirectly owned by any Seller Party, such representation or warranty will be deemed not to apply, with respect to such applicable Pending Assignment Licenses during such period of Seller Party non-ownership.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)For the avoidance of doubt, any Seller License that is a Pending Assignment License for the purposes of this <u>Section 2.6</u> shall not be treated as an Excluded License pursuant to <u>Section 2.4</u>.

<br> <br>

------

**ARTICLE 3<br>REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER PARTIES**

Except as disclosed in the corresponding section of the confidential letter delivered by the Seller Parties to Buyer on the Effective Date (the "<u>Seller Disclosure Letter</u>"), each of the Seller Parties, jointly and severally, hereby represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1<u>Organization</u>. Each Seller Party is duly formed and organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent the concept is recognized by the applicable jurisdiction) under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, with full power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets (including the Seller Licenses and the Hawaii Licenses held by such Seller Party) and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, to execute, deliver and, subject to obtaining the FCC Consent and any other required Consents, to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to consummate the Transactions. Each Seller Party is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the nature of the assets held by it or the nature of the businesses conducted by it make such qualification necessary, except in each case where the failure to do so would not have or reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the consummation of the Transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2<u>Authorization; Enforceability</u>. The execution, delivery and performance by each Seller Party of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to which such Seller Party is a party have been duly and validly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of such Seller Party. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered and is, and each of the other Transaction Documents when executed and delivered will be, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Seller Party, enforceable against each such Seller Party in accordance with its terms subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. Other than with respect to wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Seller, no Seller Party requires the approval of its equityholders for the Transactions. The Transactions do not constitute a sale of substantially all of the assets of Seller.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3<u>No Violation or Conflict</u>. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, nor the consummation of any of the Transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor compliance with or fulfillment of the terms, conditions and provisions hereof will:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)violate or conflict with, result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a Default under: (i) the Organizational Documents of any Seller Party or any of its Affiliates; (ii) any material Contract or material Permit to which any Seller Party or any of its Affiliates is a party or by which it is bound, including the Seller Party Indebtedness Agreements; (iii) any Order to which any Seller Party or any of its Affiliates is a party or by which it is bound; or (iv) any Laws to which such Seller Licenses, the Hawaii Licenses, any Seller Party or any of its Affiliates are subject, except, to the extent applicable, 47 C.F.R. § 27.1606(a) and 47 C.F.R. § 1.9020(m); or

<br> <br>

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)except for the Required Regulatory Approvals, the FCC Lease Notifications, and any post-Closing notifications required by the FCC, require any Consent of, or the making by any Seller Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any notice to or declaration, filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority or other Person; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Seller License or Hawaii License.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4<u>Litigation; Orders</u>. Except for proceedings affecting the wireless communications services industry generally or 600 MHz or 3.45 GHz licenses or licensees generally, as of the date hereof, there is no pending or, to the Seller Parties' Knowledge, threatened Litigation (at law or in equity or admiralty) or Order against, relating to or involving any Seller Party or any of its Subsidiaries that (a) relates to or involves the Seller Licenses or the Hawaii Licenses or questions or contests the validity of any Seller Party's qualification to hold any Seller License or Hawaii License, (b) would reasonably be expected to impose any fine, sanction, penalty, forfeiture, damage or contribution in connection with the ownership or use of any Seller License or Hawaii License, (c) would reasonably be expected to result in the revocation, cancellation, non-renewal, suspension or material adverse modification of any Seller License or Hawaii License or (d) would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. No Seller Party or any of its Affiliates is a party to or bound by any Order that affects, relates to or involves any Seller License or Hawaii License.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5<u>Seller Licenses</u>; <u>Hawaii Licenses</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Seller Parties are the exclusive, authorized and legal license holders of the Seller Licenses and the Hawaii Licenses, and hold good and marketable title to the Seller Licenses and the Hawaii Licenses, free and clear of all Liens.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Upon consummation of the Closing, subject to receipt of the Required Regulatory Approvals, the Buyer Assignee Parties (i) will be the license holders of the Seller Licenses assigned at Closing (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded License) and (ii) will be conveyed good and marketable title to all Seller Licenses (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded License) free and clear of all Liens.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)None of the spectrum covered by the Seller Licenses or the Hawaii Licenses is subject to any lease or other agreement or arrangement with any third party (other than Buyer), including any agreement giving any third party any right to use such spectrum.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)There are no Liabilities of any Seller Party or any Subsidiary thereof (whether matured or unmatured, direct or indirect, or absolute, contingent or otherwise), whether related to, associated with, or attached to, any Seller License, Hawaii License or otherwise to which Buyer or any of its Affiliates will be subject from and after the Closing as a result of the consummation of the Transactions other than Liabilities arising out of Buyer's ownership or operation of such Seller Licenses or the Hawaii Lease Agreements from and after the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6<u>Compliance with Laws; Permits; Contracts</u>. Since the date set forth on Schedule 3.6 of the Seller Disclosure Letter with respect to each Seller License or Hawaii License representing such date that the Seller Licenses or Hawaii Licenses were first issued or transferred to the respective Seller Party or its Affiliates (the "<u>Lookback Date</u>"), the Seller Parties and their Affiliates have complied in all material respects with all Laws which are applicable to the Seller Licenses, the Hawaii Licenses or to the Seller Parties' ownership, operation and holding thereof

<br> <br>

------

(including the Communications Act and all FCC Rules). Each Seller Party is in compliance with all applicable FCC-imposed performance and continuity-of-service requirements with respect to the Seller Licenses and the Hawaii Licenses held by such Seller Party and, since the Lookback Date, has timely filed with the FCC all material requisite notices with respect to that compliance. As of the Effective Date, no Seller Party nor any Affiliate of any Seller Party has received any written notice or communication from any Governmental Authority of non-compliance with any such Laws which has not been fully cured as of the Effective Date. The Seller Parties are qualified under the FCC Rules and the Communications Act to hold the Seller Licenses and the Hawaii Licenses and, subject to the receipt of the Required Regulatory Approvals and any post-Closing notifications required by the FCC, convey the Seller Licenses to the Buyer Assignee Parties. The Seller Parties and their Affiliates possess all material Permits necessary for the lawful ownership of the Seller Licenses and are in material compliance with all such Permits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.7<u>FCC Matters</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Seller Licenses and the Hawaii Licenses are validly held in the applicable Seller Party's name as shown on <u>Exhibit A</u>, and, except with respect to the Seller Licenses as contemplated by any Pre-Closing Spectrum Lease, no other Person has any right, title or interest in or with respect to any Seller License or Hawaii License. Since the Lookback Date, each Seller License and Hawaii License has met all performance requirements necessary to obtain renewals. As of the date hereof, there are no existing applications, petitions to deny or complaints or proceedings pending or, to such Seller Party's Knowledge, threatened, before the FCC or any other tribunal, Governmental Authority relating to any of the Seller Licenses or Hawaii Licenses or which otherwise will or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect any such Seller License or Hawaii License, other than proceedings affecting the wireless telecommunications industry, 3.45 GHz licenses generally, 600 MHz licenses generally or the license types leased pursuant to the Hawaii Lease Agreement generally. Since the Lookback Date and as of the date hereof, no Governmental Authority has, to such Seller Party's Knowledge, threatened to terminate, fail to renew or suspend any of such Seller Licenses or Hawaii Licenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Schedule 3.7(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, correct and complete list in all material respects of the 600 MHz Build-Out Obligations applicable to the 600 MHz Licenses. All 600 MHz Build-Out Showings filed with the FCC as of the Effective Date are true, correct and complete in all material respects. As of the date hereof, there is no event, condition or circumstance which would reasonably be expected to preclude any Seller License from being renewed in the ordinary course. The Seller Licenses and Hawaii Licenses (x) were granted or renewed on the dates specified on <u>Exhibit A</u> and (y) will expire on the expiration dates specified on <u>Exhibit A</u>. <u>Exhibit A</u> also sets forth, with respect to each Seller License and each Hawaii License, the true and correct (subject to *de minimis* inaccuracies) (i) FCC call sign, (ii) authorized frequencies, (iii) geographic market area and (iv) frequency block.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each Seller License and Hawaii License is a regular license and not an experimental, special temporary, demonstration or developmental authorization issued by the FCC. <u>Schedule 3.7(c)</u> of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete and accurate description, in all material respects, of all services being provided by the Seller Parties under the Seller Licenses and the Hawaii Licenses, and all other activities for which the Seller Parties are using the Seller Licenses and the Hawaii Licenses. Except as contemplated by any Pre-Closing Spectrum Lease, since June 14, 2025, each Seller Party has continued to provide services and radiate a radiofrequency signal in the applicable geographic area designated on <u>Exhibit A</u> for any 600 MHz License at least to the extent required by Section 27.14 of the FCC Rules, and each

<br> <br>

------

Seller Party has not had a Permanent Discontinuance of Service with respect to any 600 MHz License.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Since the Lookback Date, the Seller Parties and their Affiliates have performed in all material respects all of their respective obligations required to have been performed under the Seller Licenses and the Hawaii Licenses. There is no material Default under any Seller License or any Hawaii License, nor has any Seller Party received any written notice of any such Default, which permits or, after notice or lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to permit revocation, cancellation, non-renewal, suspension or adverse modification of any Seller License or Hawaii License, or which might adversely affect the rights of any Seller Party or Buyer under any Seller License or Hawaii License. Each Seller License and Hawaii License is valid and in full force and effect without condition (except conditions applicable to holders of 3.45 GHz licenses generally, 600 MHz licenses generally or the license types leased pursuant to the Hawaii Lease Agreement generally), has been granted or renewed by the FCC by Final Order and authorizes, without further Consent from the FCC, construction and operation in the geographic area designated on <u>Exhibit A</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)All reports and other documents required to be filed by the Seller Parties or their Affiliates with the FCC or other Governmental Authorities with respect to the Seller Licenses have been timely filed and are complete and correct in all material respects. No Seller Party nor any of its Affiliates has made any material misstatements of fact, or omitted to disclose any material fact, to any Governmental Authority or in any material report, document or certificate filed therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)There is no debt or other payment existing, outstanding, or owing to the FCC or any Governmental Authority with respect to any Seller License or Hawaii License or by reason of the ownership or operation thereof. All payments, debts, fees and contributions required to be paid to the FCC or any other Governmental Authority by the Seller Parties or their Affiliates with respect to the Seller Licenses and the Hawaii Licenses have been timely paid. No unjust enrichment payments will be assessed by reason of the application of Section 1.2111 of the FCC Rules to the assignment of the Seller Licenses contemplated hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)As of the Effective Date, no Seller License or Hawaii License has been modified in any material respect, including through disaggregation or partition, and there is no pending or planned application or request by the Seller Parties to modify the Seller Licenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)Prior to the Effective Date, the Seller Parties have made available to Buyer true, correct and complete copies of all material written correspondence with the FCC or any other Governmental Authority relating to the Seller Licenses or the Hawaii Licenses that have been made since January 1, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.8<u>Hawaii Lease Agreements</u>. As of the Effective Date, the representations and warranties made by the Seller Parties and their Affiliates in each Hawaii Lease Agreement remain true and correct in all material respects.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)All material Tax Returns required to be filed by the Seller Parties and their Affiliates with respect to the Seller Licenses or Hawaii Licenses have been timely filed with the appropriate Governmental Authorities, and all such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all material respects.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)All material Taxes with respect to the Seller Licenses or Hawaii Licenses required to be paid by the Seller Parties and their Affiliates (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been timely paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)There are no Liens for Taxes on any of the Seller Licenses or Hawaii Licenses (other than Liens for Taxes that are not yet due and payable).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)With respect to Direct Claims, following receipt of a Claim Notice from the Claimant, the Indemnifying Party shall have sixty (60) days to make such investigation of the Direct Claim as the Indemnifying Party deems necessary or desirable and, in the case of a Third-Party Claim, to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Claimant at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, of the settlement or defense of such Third-Party Claim by notifying the Claimant in writing of such assumption of control; <u>provided</u> that if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense and control of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall allow the Claimant a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim with the Claimant's own counsel and at the Claimant's own expense, subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense and settlement thereof. For the purposes of such investigation, the Claimant agrees to make available to the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives the information, to the extent such information is under the Claimant's possession or control, relied upon by the Claimant as reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party to substantiate the claim. The Claimant shall cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, in each case, to the extent such information is under the Claimant's possession or control, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party or its counsel in connection with such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party and the Claimant shall use reasonable best efforts to (A) avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law) to third parties and (B) cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third-Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work product privileges. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall defend such Third-Party Claim diligently to final conclusion or settlement of such Third-Party Claim; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, without prior written consent of the Claimant (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim on a basis that would reasonably be expected to result in (i) injunctive or other nonmonetary relief against the Claimant, including the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Claimant, (ii) a finding or admission of fault or misconduct by the Claimant or (iii) the monetary relief being sought is in excess of the amount that the Indemnifying Party is required to indemnify the Claimant for.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)If the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party agree at or prior to the expiration of such sixty (60)-day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay to the Claimant the full amount of such Direct Claim. If the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party do

<br> <br>

------

not agree within such sixty (60)-day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof), the Claimant may then seek all appropriate remedies at law or equity available to the Claimant to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Any claim for indemnity pursuant to this <u>ARTICLE 9</u> with respect to which (i) the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party agree as to its validity and amount, (ii) an Order of a court of competent jurisdiction deciding such claim has been rendered, or (iii) the Indemnifying Party has not given written notice to the Claimant disputing and/or assuming the conduct and control of such claim in whole or in part within sixty (60) days of receiving a Claim Notice thereof, is referred to as a "<u>Settled Claim</u>".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)If the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense within the applicable time periods set forth in this <u>Section 9.4</u>, then the Claimant shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third-Party Claim against such Claimant as to which indemnification will be sought by any Claimant from any Indemnifying Party hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall cooperate and assist the Claimant and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, in each case, to the extent such information is under the Indemnifying Party's possession or control, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Claimant or its counsel in connection with such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any Third-Party Claim as to which the Claimant has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Claimant shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party's prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Claimant shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim without such consent; <u>provided</u> that, in such event, the Claimant shall waive any right to indemnity hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense and control of, and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by, the Claimant in connection with a Third-Party Claim as they are incurred if: (i) any Third-Party Claim against any Claimant relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (ii) such Third-Party Claim seeks non-monetary relief which, if granted, could adversely affect the Claimant, and that after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be readily separated from any related claim for money damages (<u>provided,</u> that if such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Third-Party Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages), or (iii) the Claimant has been advised in writing by outside counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Claimant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Party or any of their Affiliates have any rights with respect to any audit, examination, contest, proceeding or other Litigation relating to Taxes or any Tax Return of any other Party or any of its Affiliates or any Taxes or Tax Returns of or with respect to any consolidated, combined, affiliated, aggregated, unitary or similar group for Tax purposes that includes any such Party or any of its Affiliates (including by reason of any Person being treated as an entity

<br> <br>

------

disregarded as separate from such Party or such Affiliate for Tax purposes), in each case, other than solely with respect to any Taxes with respect to any Seller License or Hawaii License.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.5<u>Limitations</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)neither the Seller Parties nor Buyer, as the case may be, shall be liable for any claim for indemnification (i) in the case of the Seller Parties, pursuant to <u>Section 9.2(a)</u> (solely with respect to the Seller Fundamental Representations) or <u>Section 9.2(b),</u> or (ii) in the case of Buyer pursuant to <u>Section 9.3(a)</u> or <u>Section 9.3(b)</u> (solely with respect to the Buyer Fundamental Representations), in an aggregate amount in excess of the Closing Purchase Price at any time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)neither the Seller Parties nor Buyer, as the case may be, shall be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to <u>Section 9.2(a)</u> (other than with respect to the Seller Fundamental Representations) or <u>Section 9.3(a)</u> (other than with respect to the Buyer Fundamental Representations), as applicable, in an aggregate amount in excess of the amount that is equal to eight percent (8%) of the Closing Purchase Price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)with respect to any claims for indemnification pursuant to (i) in the case of the Seller Parties, pursuant to <u>Section 9.2(a)</u> or <u>Section 9.2(b),</u> or (ii) in the case of Buyer pursuant to <u>Section 9.3(a)</u> or <u>Section 9.3(b)</u>, the Buyer Indemnified Persons and the Seller Indemnified Persons, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to indemnification for any claim thereunder unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses for which the Seller Parties or Buyer, as applicable, would, but for this clause (c), be liable thereunder exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to 0.5% of the Closing Purchase Price (the "<u>Deductible</u>"), and thereafter the Seller Parties and Buyer, as the case may be, shall be liable only for the amount of Losses in excess of the Deductible; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)neither the Buyer Indemnified Persons nor the Seller Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to indemnification for any particular Loss pursuant to <u>Section 9.2(a)</u>, <u>Section 9.2(b)</u>, <u>Section 9.3(a)</u>, or <u>Section 9.3(b)</u>, as the case may be, unless such Loss (or series of related Losses) equals or exceeds $250,000; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that this limitation shall not apply to Losses arising from claims for breaches of any Seller Fundamental Representation or Buyer Fundamental Representation, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.6<u>Losses Net of Insurance, etc</u>. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under <u>Section 9.2</u> or <u>Section 9.3</u> shall be net of (a) any amounts actually recovered by the Seller Indemnified Person or the Buyer Indemnified Person (as the case may be) (net of any reasonable and documented costs of investigation of the underlying claim and of collection) pursuant to any indemnification by, contribution, reimbursement, indemnification agreement with any Person (other than this Agreement) or any other recovery proceeds relating to the such Loss, and (b) any insurance proceeds (net of any reasonable and documented costs of investigation of the underlying claim and of collection) actually received as an offset against such Loss (each source of recovery referred to in <u>clauses (a)</u> and <u>(b)</u>, a "<u>Collateral Source</u>"). If the amount to be netted hereunder in connection with a Collateral Source from any payment required under <u>Section 9.2</u> or <u>Section 9.3</u> is received after payment by the Person required to indemnify under this <u>ARTICLE 9</u> of any amount otherwise required to be paid to a Claimant, the Claimant shall repay to the Person required to indemnify, promptly after such receipt, any amount that would not have been payable pursuant to this <u>ARTICLE 9</u> had such receipt occurred

<br> <br>

------

at the time of such payment. The Seller Indemnified Persons and the Buyer Indemnified Persons (as the case may be) shall take commercially reasonable steps to the extent required by New York law to mitigate any Losses as soon as reasonably practicable after such Claimant becomes aware of any event which does, or could reasonably be expected to, give rise to any such Losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.7<u>Payments</u>. Within ten (10) Business Days of any claim under this <u>ARTICLE 9</u> becoming a Settled Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the Claimant the full amount of such Settled Claim by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated by the Claimant. Any payment made pursuant to this <u>Section 9.7</u> shall, for Tax purposes, be deemed to be an adjustment to the consideration payable to the Seller Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.8 <u>No Consequential Damages; Exclusive Remedy</u>. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in no event shall either Party hereto be liable hereunder for Losses for lost profits or that are consequential, incidental, special or punitive (except to the extent payable by a Claimant to a third Person) and following the Closing indemnification pursuant to this <u>ARTICLE 9</u> shall be the exclusive and sole remedy of the Parties for any Loss arising out of or related to the Transactions, except as contemplated by <u>Section 11.8</u>. Neither of the Buyer Indemnified Persons nor the Seller Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once in respect of any one Loss or related group of Losses.

Neither Party hereto may assign this Agreement directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that Buyer may, without the consent of the other party, assign any and all of its rights hereunder to any Affiliate that is wholly owned by it or by a common parent; *<u>provided</u>* that (a) such assignment would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the Closing; (b) such assignee shall assume all of such Party's obligations under this Agreement; and (c) such assignment shall not relieve Buyer of their obligations under this Agreement.

Except for the Buyer Indemnified Persons and the Seller Indemnified Persons set forth in <u>Sections 9.2</u> and <u>9.3</u>, the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the exclusive benefit of the Parties hereto (and their successors and permitted assigns) and shall not be for the benefit of any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.4<u>No Third-Party Beneficiaries</u>. Except for <u>Section 11.15</u> (with respect to the Non-Recourse Parties), a Person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no right to enforce any of its terms and this Agreement is not intended to give any Person other than the Parties their permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.5<u>Governing Law</u>. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, including its statute of limitations, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.6<u>Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Parties agree that the courts of the State of New York, sitting in New York County, and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate courts from any thereof shall have exclusive jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Agreement and to decide any claims or disputes which may arise or result from, or be connected with, this Agreement, any breach or Default hereunder, or the Transactions and any and all Litigation related to the foregoing shall be filed and maintained only in the such courts. The Parties agree to unconditionally and irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts the resolution of any such claim or dispute.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Parties hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby brought in any court specified in <u>Section 11.6(a)</u> above, or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the Parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each of the Parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by the other Party to this Agreement in any Litigation by the mailing of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of <u>Section 11.2</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.7<u>Waiver of Jury Trial</u>. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT THAT EITHER MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF

<br> <br>

------

ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION, OR IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS <u>SECTION 11.7</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.8<u>Specific Performance</u>. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the Seller Licenses are unique and irreplaceable and that the other Party would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with the their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone and that, in addition to any other right or remedy to which a Party may be entitled, at law or in equity, it shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree or order of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Each of the Parties further hereby waives any defense in any action for specific performance that (i) a remedy at law for monetary damages would be adequate, (ii) the equitable remedy for specific performance is unavailable, invalid, unenforceable or inequitable and (iii) any requirement under any Law to post bond or other security as a prerequisite for obtaining equitable relief.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.9<u>Entire Agreement</u>. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and thereto collectively represent the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior understandings and agreements among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Each Party hereby represents, acknowledges and agrees that they have participated in the drafting of this Agreement and any ambiguity shall not be construed against either Party as the drafter of this Agreement. Each Party hereby represents, acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are independent of, and not in any way conditioned on, connected to, or to be construed with, any other agreement, understanding or arrangement, written or oral between the Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.10<u>Amendments; Waivers</u>. No amendment, alteration, modification or change of this Agreement shall be valid except by agreement in writing that makes specific reference to this Agreement that is signed by a duly authorized officer of the Parties hereto. Any failure of either Party hereto to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein or any Default in the performance of any term of this Agreement by either Party hereto may be waived by the other Party hereto or the time for performance waived or extended only by a written instrument signed by the Party granting such waiver. The failure of either Party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right of such Party at a later time to enforce the same or any other provision of this Agreement. No waiver of any condition or of the breach of any term contained in this Agreement in one or more instances shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of such condition or breach or a waiver of any other condition or of the breach of any other term of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.11<u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts which may be delivered by electronic mail, each of which shall be considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become binding when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties hereto and delivered to each of the other Parties hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.12<u>Severability</u>. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this

<br> <br>

------

Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by Law.
