Special Compensation and Non-Compete Agreement

 Exhibit 10.8 
 Special Compensation and Non-Compete Agreement 
 THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of the 12th day of August, 1997
(the “Effective Date”), by and between SPRINT CORPORATION, a Kansas corporation (“Sprint,” and it, together with its Subsidiaries, the “Employer”), and MICHAEL B. FULLER (“Employee”). 
 Recitals 
  

	 	1.	Employer is engaged in the telecommunications and related businesses. This is a worldwide business that may be conducted from sites and serve customers throughout the world.

  

	 	2.	By virtue of his work for Employer, Employee has gained and will continue to gain additional valuable Proprietary Information of Employer. 

  

	 	3.	Employer desires to enter into this Agreement to provide severance and other benefits for Employee in exchange for Employee’s agreement to maintain the confidentiality of
certain information and to refrain from competing with Employer during and after termination of his employment with Employer. 

 Capitalized
terms are defined in Section 6 of, or parenthetically throughout this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Employment At Will. 
 Employee’s employment may be terminated by either party for any reason. Employee shall
provide Employer with written notice of his intent to terminate at least 30 days before the effective date of the termination. Except in the event of Termination for Cause, Employer shall provide Employee with written notice of its intent to
terminate Employee’s employment at least 30 days before the effective date of the termination. 
 2. Employee’s Covenants. 
 2.01 Exclusivity of Services. 
 Employee shall, during his employment
with Employer, owe an undivided duty of loyalty to Employer and agrees to devote his entire business time and attention to the performance of those duties and responsibilities and to use his best efforts to promote and develop the business of
Employer. Employee shall adhere to the conflicts of interest provisions set forth in Section 7 of the Sprint Code of Ethics (or any successor provision, which is incorporated by this reference) as in effect as of the date of this Agreement and
as may be amended from time to time hereafter. The determination of the Committee as to the Employee’s compliance with this provision shall be final. 
 2.02 Proprietary Information. 
 Employee acknowledges that during the course of his employment he has learned or will learn or develop
Proprietary Information. Employee further acknowledges that unauthorized disclosure or use of such Information, other than in discharge of Employee’s duties, will cause Employer irreparable harm. 
 Except in the course of his employment with Employer under this Agreement, in the pursuit of the business of Employer, or as otherwise required in employment with
Employer, Employee shall not, during the course of his employment or at any time following termination of his employment, directly or indirectly, disclose, publish, 

 communicate, or use on his behalf or another’s behalf, any Proprietary Information. If during or after his
employment Employee has any questions about whether particular information is Proprietary Information he shall consult with Employer’s Corporate Secretary. 
 2.03 Non-Competition. 
 Employee shall not, during the Non-Compete Period, engage in Competitive Employment, whether paid or unpaid and
whether as a consultant, employee, or otherwise. This provision shall not apply if, within one year following a Change in Control: 
  

	(i)	Employer terminates Employee’s employment with Employer for any reason other than Termination for Cause or Total Disability; or 

  

	(ii)	Employee terminates his employment with Employer upon Constructive Discharge. 

 If Employee ceases to be employed by Employer because of a sale, merger, divestiture, or other transaction entered into by Employer, this provision shall continue to apply during the Non-Compete Period, except that Employee’s continued
employment for the subsidiary, division, or other divested unit of the Employer shall not be deemed a violation of this provision. 
 Employee agrees that
because of the worldwide nature of Employer’s business, breach of this agreement by accepting Competitive Employment anywhere in the United States would irreparably injure Employer and that, therefore, a more limited geographic restriction is
neither feasible nor appropriate to protect Employer’s interests. 
 2.04 Inducement of Employees, Customers and Others. 
 During the term of his employment and the Non-Compete Period, Employee shall not directly or indirectly solicit, induce, or encourage any employee, consultant, agent, or
customer of Employer with whom he has worked or about whom he has gained Proprietary Information to terminate his or its employment, agency, or customer relationship with Employer or to render services for or transfer business to any Competitor of
Employer. 
 2.05 Return of Employer’s Property. 
 Employee shall, upon termination of his employment with Employer, return to Employer all property of Employer in his possession, including all notes, reports, sketches, plans, published memoranda or other documents, whether in hard copy or
in computer form, created, developed, generated, received, or held by Employee during employment, concerning or related to Employer’s business, whether containing or relating to Proprietary Information or not. Employee shall not remove, by
e-mail, by removal of computer discs or hard drives, or by other means, any of the above property containing Proprietary Information, or reproductions or copies thereof, or any apparatus from Employer’s premises without Employer’s
authorization. 
 2.06 Exit Interview. 
 At
Employer’s request, Employee shall participate in an exit interview prior to his Severance Date to provide for the orderly transition of his duties, to arrange for the return of Employer’s property, to discuss his intended new employment,
and to discuss and complete such other matters as may be necessary to ensure full compliance with this Agreement. 

 2.07 Confidentiality of Agreement. 
 Employee shall not disclose or discuss the existence of this Agreement, the Stock-Based Award, the Special Compensation, or any other terms of the Agreement except 
  

	(i)	to members of his immediate family, 

  

	(ii)	to his financial advisor or attorney, but then only to the extent necessary for them to assist him, 

  

	(iii)	to a potential employer on a strictly confidential basis, and then only to the extent necessary for reasonable disclosure in the course of serious negotiations, or

  

	(iv)	as required by law or to enforce his legal rights. 

 3. Stock-Based
Award. 
 As partial consideration for Employee’s agreements hereunder, Employee shall be granted the Stock-Based Award on the terms set forth in
this section. 
 3.01 Award of Restricted Stock. 
 Employer hereby grants to Employee an award of 7,500 shares of restricted stock under Sprint’s 1990 Restricted Stock Plan, the terms of which are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by this reference. 
 3.02 Lapse of Restrictions. 
 Employee may not sell, transfer, assign,
pledge, or otherwise encumber or dispose of shares of restricted stock until the restrictions on the shares lapse. Restrictions on the shares covered by this award shall lapse, with respect to 100% of the total shares granted, on the fifth
anniversary of the Effective Date. 
 3.03 Rights as Stockholder and Issuance of Shares. 
 Except as set forth in the 1990 Restricted Stock Plan, Employee shall have all rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of restricted stock, including the right to vote the shares of stock and the right to
dividends on the shares. The shares of restricted stock shall be registered in the name of the Employee and the certificates evidencing the shares shall, at Employer’s sole election, either (i) bear an appropriate legend referring to the
terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to the award or (ii) be held in escrow by the Company. Within 60 days of the Effective Date of this Agreement, the Employee shall execute a stock power or powers assigning the shares of restricted
stock to Sprint, and Sprint shall hold the stock power and the certificate in escrow and may use the stock power to effect forfeiture of the restricted stock to the extent the shares are forfeited under the terms of this Agreement. Sprint shall
cause the certificate evidencing unrestricted shares of common stock to be issued to the Employee as soon as practicable after the restrictions lapse on the restricted shares. 
 3.04 Provisions Applicable to Stock-Based Award. 
  

	(a)	Acceleration of Stock-Based Award. 

  

	 	(1)	Conditions to Acceleration. 

 The restrictions on all
shares of restricted stock that have not otherwise lapsed shall lapse, if, on or after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, Employee is not in breach of this Agreement and 
  

	 	(i)	Employer terminates Employee’s employment with Employer for any reason other than Termination for Cause or Employee’s Total Disability or 

	 	(ii)	Employee terminates his employment with Employer by reason of Employee’s Constructive Discharge or 

  

	 	(iii)	Employee ceases to be employed by Employer because of a sale, merger, divestiture, or other transaction entered into by Employer. 

  

	 	(2)	No Acceleration on Transfer of Employment to Affiliates. 

 In no event shall the restrictions lapse on restricted stock as provided in the prior section upon Employee’s ceasing employment with Employer to commence employment with an Affiliate of Sprint. 
  

	(b)	Forfeiture of Stock-Based Award on Transfer to Affiliates and on Termination of Employment in Certain Circumstances. 

 Employee shall not be entitled to sell or continue to own any unvested shares of restricted stock before such restricted shares vest, 
  

	 	(i)	Employee ceases employment with Employer and begins employment with an Affiliate of Employer, 

  

	 	(ii)	Employer terminates Employee’s employment with Employer for any reason constituting Termination for Cause or by reason of Employee’s Total Disability, or

  

	 	(iii)	Employee terminates his employment with Employer for any reason other than Employee’s Constructive Discharge. 

 Except as to clause (iii), this provision applies regardless of what subsequent employment Employee may take. 
  

	(c)	Tax Withholding. Employer may withhold the amount of any tax attributable to any amount payable or shares issuable under this Agreement. 

 4. Payment of Special Compensation. 
 In lieu of any payments or
benefits available under any and all Employer severance plans or policies but not in lieu of benefits under Sprint’s Long-Term Disability Plan, Employee shall be entitled to Special Compensation plus any vacation pay for vacation accrued but
not taken by Employee on his Severance Date, if 
  

	(i)	Employer terminates Employee’s employment with Employer for any reason other than Termination for Cause or Total Disability or 

  

	(ii)	Employee terminates his employment with Employer upon Constructive Discharge. 

 The payments and benefits provided for in this section shall be in addition to all other sums then payable and owing to Employee hereunder and, except as expressly provided herein, shall not be subject to reduction for any amounts received
by Employee for employment or services provided to any Person other than Employer after the Severance Date and shall be in full settlement and satisfaction of all of Employee’s claims against and demands upon Employer. 
 Employee’s right to receive severance or other benefits pursuant to this section shall cease immediately if Employee is re-employed by Employer or Employee
materially breaches this Agreement. 

 5. Dispute Resolution. 
 5.01 Jurisdiction and Venue. 
 Employee consents to jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts in and for Johnson County, Kansas,
for any and all disputes arising under this Agreement, provided, however, that Employer may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin any violation of the covenants under Section 2, as well as seeking damages
therefor. 
 5.02 Remedies. 
 Employee acknowledges that
the restraints and agreements herein provided are fair and reasonable, that enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement will not cause him undue hardship and that the provisions are reasonably necessary and commensurate with the need to protect
Employer and its legitimate and proprietary business interests and property from irreparable harm. 
 Employee acknowledges that failure to comply with the
terms of this Agreement, particularly the provisions of Section 2, will cause irreparable damage to Employer. Therefore, Employee agrees that, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity available to Employer for Employee’s
breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, Employer is entitled to specific performance or injunctive relief, without bond, against Employee to prevent such damage or breach, and the existence of any claim or cause of action Employee may have
against Employer shall not constitute a defense thereto. 
 If Employee materially breaches any provision of Section 2 or if any of those provisions are
held to be unenforceable against Employee 
  

	(i)	Employee shall return any Special Compensation paid pursuant to this Agreement and 

  

	(ii)	if Employee’s breach occurs within the five-year period beginning on the Effective Date of this Agreement, Employee shall return to Employer the stock received with respect to
the Stock-Based Award, or, if Employee has disposed of the stock, an amount equal to the fair market value thereof on the date of disposition. 

 This remedy is a return of consideration and shall be in addition to any other remedies. During Employee’s employment with Employer, the Committee shall determine whether Employee has materially breached the provisions of
Section 2, and the Committee’s determination shall be final. 
 6. Definitions. 
 6.01 Affiliate. 
 “Affiliate” means, with respect to any

terms are defined in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules thereunder other than 

	 	(A)	a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of Sprint or 

  

	 	(B)	Sprint or a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of Sprint in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of Sprint

	(iii)	in the performance of which Proprietary Information to which Employee had access at any time during the two-year period before the Severance Date could be of substantial economic
value to the Competitor of Employer. 

 6.05 Competitor of Employer.

proposes to accept, employment with or to otherwise perform services for such Person; 

  

	(iii)	any Person doing business in the United States and operating, for less than 5 years, a line of business from which Employer derives more than 15% of its gross operating revenues,

having a lower grade rating, in each case under Employer’s methodology of rating employment positions for its employees generally;

 6. TIME OF PAYMENTS 
 (i) Timing 
 The payments provided for in
Section 15(v), (A) and (B), shall be made commencing not later than the fifth day following the Date of Termination, provided, however, that if the amount of payments to be made on the first payment date cannot be calculated on or before
such day, the Company shall pay to you on such day an estimate, as calculated in good faith by the Company, of the minimum amount of such payments and shall pay the remainder of such payments due on such date (together with interest at the rate
provided in Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code) as soon as the amount thereof can be calculated but in no event later than the sixtieth day after the Date of Termination. 
 (ii) Excess Payments Constitute Loan. 
 In
the event that any estimated payment is determined to be in excess of the amount due, such excess shall constitute a loan by the Company to you, payable on the 90th day after demand by the Company (together with interest at the rate provided in
Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code). 
 7. LUMP SUM ELECTION 
 You shall have the right to elect to have all or a portion of the payments to be made pursuant to paragraph (A) or (B) of Section 15(v) paid in a lump sum.
If you make this election, the amount paid to you shall equal the present value of the payments or portion thereof, as calculated by the Company’s independent auditors using the discount rate specified in Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code.

 8. NO MITIGATION OR OFFSETS 
 You shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for be
reduced by any compensation earned by you as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by you to the Company, or otherwise, except as specifically provided in this
Agreement. 
 9. SUCCESSOR ASSUMPTION OF AGREEMENT 
 The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such
assumption and agreement as of the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle you to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms hereunder as if you had terminated your
employment for Good Reason following a change in control of the Company, provided you give Notice of Termination within 90 days after the effective date of such succession. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as
hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise. 
 10. BENEFITS TO PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES 
 This Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by your personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. All benefits hereunder shall be subject to your beneficiary designations
in effect under the appropriate benefit plan with reference to which you have elected to receive benefits; such designations are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth in this Agreement. If you should die, all amounts payable to you
hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to your devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there is no such designee, to your estate. 
 11. NOTICE 
 Any purported termination of this Agreement or of your employment by the Employer Company or by you shall be
communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable
detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination under the provision so indicated. Notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when
delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth on the first page of this Agreement, provided that all notice to the Company shall be directed to the
Secretary of the Company, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt. 
 12. [DELETED] 
 13. RESOLUTION
OF CONTROVERSIES 
 You shall be entitled to seek specific performance of your right to be paid to the Date of Termination
during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement. All other disputes, claims or controversies arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by binding arbitration
in the greater Kansas City area in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect; provided, however, that three arbitrators shall be appointed, one by the Company, one by you and the third of whom shall be
appointed by the first two arbitrators. 
 14. MISCELLANEOUS 
 (i) No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing. 
 (ii) No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or in compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a
waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

 (iii) No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof
have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement. 
 (iv) The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of
this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Kansas. 
 (v) All references to sections of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange
Act”) or the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) shall be deemed also to refer to any successor provisions to such sections. All references to provisions of the Company’s Pension Plan and all other Company benefit plans shall be
deemed also to refer to amended provisions of such plans and to provisions of successor or substitute plans. 
 (vi) Any payments provided for hereunder
shall be paid net of any applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law. 
 (vii) Captions are intended for reference only and shall not
constitute a part of this Agreement. 
 (viii) The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 (ix) This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 
 (x) The Company shall
take every reasonable step necessary to maximize the payments and benefits received or to be received by you in connection with a change in control of the Company (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or
agreement with the Company, with any person whose actions result in a change in control or with any person affiliated with the Company or such person) (collectively “Total Payments”). 
 15. DEFINITIONS AND DETAILED PROVISIONS 
 (i) Change in Control of the Company 
 (A) Actual Change in Control of the Company 
 For purposes of this Agreement, a “change in control of the Company” shall be deemed to
have occurred if (A) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, and other than the
Company or a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or (B) during any period of two consecutive years (not
including any period prior to the execution of this Agreement), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and any new director (other than a director designated by a
person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clause (A) of this Subsection) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at
least two-thirds ( 2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the
period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof. 
 (B) Potential Change in Control of the Company. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, a “potential change in control of the Company”
shall be deemed to have occurred if (A) the Company enters into an agreement, the consummation of which would result in the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, (B) any person (including the Company) publicly announces an
intention to take or to consider taking actions which if consummated would constitute a change in control of the Company; (C) any person, other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company
who is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 10% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities, increases his beneficial ownership of such
securities by 5% or more over the percentage so owned by such person on the date hereof; or (D) the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes of this Agreement, a potential change in control of the Company has occurred.

 (ii) Retirement 
 Termination
of your employment based on “Retirement” shall mean termination in accordance with the Company’s Pension Plan or in accordance with any retirement arrangement established with your written consent with respect to you. 
 (iii) Cause 
 Termination by the Employer
Company of your employment for “Cause” shall mean termination upon (A) the willful and continued failure by you to substantially perform your duties with the Employer Company (other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity
due to physical or mental illness or any such actual or anticipated failure after the issuance of a Notice of Termination by you for Good Reason) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to you, which demand specifically
identifies the manner in which the Board believes that you have not substantially performed your duties, or (B) the willful engaging by you in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise. For
purposes of this Subsection, no act, or failure to act, on your part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by you not in good faith and without reasonable belief that your action or omission was in the best interest
of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to you a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than
three-quarters ( 3/4) of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such
purpose (after reasonable notice to you and an opportunity for you, together with your counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board you were guilty of conduct set forth above in clauses (A) or
(B) of the first sentence of this subsection and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. Delivery of such Resolution shall constitute Notice of Termination for cause by the Company. 
 (iv) Good Reason 
 You shall be entitled to
terminate your employment for Good Reason, except that you shall not be entitled to give Notice of Termination during any period in which you are unable to substantially perform your duties with the Employer Company due to physical or mental
illness. Your continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstance constituting Good Reason hereunder. For purposes of this 
  

 5

following circumstances unless such circumstances are fully corrected prior to the Date of Termination specified in the Notice of Termination given in respect thereof:

Company; 
 (F) Noncontinuation of Compensation Plans 
 the failure by the Company to continue in effect any compensation plan in which you participate immediately prior to the change in control of the Company which is material to your total compensation, including but not
limited to the Company’s Short-term and Long-term Incentive Plans or any substitute plans adopted prior to the change in control, unless an equitable arrangement (embodied in an ongoing substitute or alternative plan) has been made with respect
to such plan, or the failure by the Company to continue your participation therein (or in such substitute or alternative plan) on a basis not materially less favorable, both in terms of the amount of benefits provided and the level of your
participation relative to other participants, as existed at the time of the change in control;

 In lieu of any payments under, and notwithstanding any provisions of the long-term and short-term incentive plans, the Company shall pay to you in three equal

	 	(2)	if you are at least 55 years of age or have 10 years of credited pension service at the Date of Termination, you will, at the time of your retirement, receive the life and medical
post-retirement benefits that would be due to a retiree under the Company’s Pension Plan; 

  

	 	(3)	for purposes of any Supplemental Employee Retirement Agreement, if applicable, you shall be credited as of the Date of Termination with the maximum number of years of service at
your highest annual compensation rate during the term of this Agreement potentially available to you under such agreement; and 

  

	 	(4)	if you take early retirement, the Company shall supplement your pension so that you are, notwithstanding the Company’s Pension Plan early retirement provisions, not subject to
any early retirement pension reduction. 

 (E) Medical, Dental, Insurance, Disability Insurance
