 1 

 WHEREAS Neutral Tandem has been operating under the assumption that its Local Transit
Service (“LTS”) has been provided to each of the Sprint entities under the Sprint ICA; and 
 WHEREAS, the Parties
desire to terminate the Nextel MSA and IPCS MSA, to amend the Sprint ICA to clarify the applicability of the Sprint ICA to each Sprint entity identified herein, and set forth such further amendments to the Sprint ICA as provided in this Third
Amendment; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows: 

 

	1	Recitals 

 The foregoing
recitals are incorporated by this reference. 
  

	2	Applicability of Sprint ICA and Termination of the Nextel MSA and the IPCS MSA for Local Transit Service 

Neutral Tandem has been operating under the assumption that it is providing transiting service for Local Traffic to each of the Sprint
entities named above under the Sprint ICA and not under the Nextel MSA or IPCS MSA. To avoid any ambiguity, the Parties hereby confirm that Neutral Tandem provides its transiting services for Local Traffic to each of the Sprint entities named above
and Sprint will receive such services from Neutral Tandem pursuant to the Sprint ICA. The terms of any other agreement between the Parties regarding transiting services for Local Traffic (referred to in the IPCS MSA as “Local Transit
Service”) are hereby confirmed as terminated without any liability except to the extent billed and remaining an undisputed outstanding in the ordinary course of business. 

 

	3	Third Amendment Effective Date and Applicability of Rates. 

This Third Amendment and the rates provided herein on Schedules A and B will become effective on April 25, 2010, if this Third
Amendment is executed by Sprint and delivered to Neutral Tandem on or before the close of business on May 5, 2010. If not signed by Sprint until after the close of business on May 5, 2010, then this Third Amendment will be deemed effective
between the Parties on the date executed and delivered by Sprint, and result in Sprint receiving the rates provided herein in the first Neutral Tandem billing cycle after Sprint executes and delivers this Third Amendment to Neutral Tandem. For
purposes of this section “delivery” includes delivery by means of electronic mail.

 2 

	4	Amendment to Sprint ICA Definitions. 

The Sprint ICA paragraph 2 definition of “Local Traffic” (as previously amended), is deleted from the Sprint ICA and replaced
with the following: 
  

	 	2.	Definition of “Local Traffic” means: 

  

	 	2.1	Telecommunications traffic exchanged between a local exchange carrier (“LEC”) and a telecommunication carrier other than a CMRS provider that is an intraLATA
call (an “intraLATA call”); and, 

  

	 	2.2	Telecommunications traffic exchanged between a LEC or CMRS provider and a CMRS provider that, at the beginning of the call, originates and terminates with the same
Major Trading Area, as defined in 47 C.F.R. §24.202(a) (an “intraMTA call”). 

  

	 	2.3	The term “Authorized Codes” means a list of NPA-NXXs assigned to third-parties that Neutral Tandem provides to Sprint, as updated from time to time.

  

	5	Amendment to Sprint ICA Section 5 “Exchange of Traffic”. 

The Sprint ICA paragraph 5 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 

 

	 	5.	Exchange of Traffic: Neutral Tandem may deliver Local Traffic and Non-Local Terminating Traffic (defined below) to Sprint under this Agreement, [***].
Sprint may deliver Local Traffic destined to Authorized Codes, subject to the compensation provisions below. 

  

	6	Amendment to Sprint ICA Section 7 “Compensation for Transit Traffic”. 

The following provisions are added as subsections at the end of the existing Sprint ICA Section 7. “Compensation for Transit
Traffic. 
  

	 	7.1	Preferred Routing Rate Term and Conditions for Local Traffic Terminating to Authorized Codes 

 

	 	7.1.1	The prices contained in Neutral Tandem’s Market Pricing Schedules are not applicable during the months in which Sprint qualifies for the all market flat rate
Preferred Routing Rates. 

  

 ***The confidential content of this Exhibit 10.1 has been omitted and filed separately with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions 
  

 3 

	 	7.1.2	Neutral Tandem’s Preferred Routing rates and charges for Local Traffic terminating to Authorized Codes for Sprint PCS, Nextel, Nextel Partners and IPCS in all
markets are set forth on Schedule A attached hereto. 

  

	 	7.1.3	Neutral Tandem’s Preferred Routing Rates and charges for Local Traffic terminating to Authorized Codes provided to SCCLP are set forth on Schedule B attached
hereto. 

  

	 	7.1.4	The Preferred Routing Rates contained in Schedules A and B become effective as provided in Section 3 of this Third Amendment to the Sprint ICA and end on
December 24, 2011 (the “initial term”). The effective date of such Preferred Routing Rates will automatically renew for successive periods ending on the last day of each subsequent calendar month, unless terminated by written notice
provided by either Party to the other no less than 30 days prior to the end of the initial term or any monthly renewal period. 

  

	 	7.1.5	Subject to the transition period described in Section 7.1.6, while the Preferred Routing Rates remain in effect, Sprint will make Neutral Tandem the first choice
in Sprint’s routing tables for all Local Traffic destined for Authorized Codes. Such Local Traffic will be routed to Neutral Tandem if (a) Neutral Tandem has available capacity and such capacity is not affected by a service problem, and
(b) Sprint does not have a direct connection to the terminating carrier. For purposes of this, Agreement, this requirement will be defined as the “Preferred Routing Requirement”. For clarity’s sake, subject to the transition
period described in Section 7.1.6, to be in compliance with the Preferred Routing Requirement, the Local Traffic that Sprint will route via Neutral Tandem includes all traffic for a given market for which Sprint is currently using another
alternative tandem provider. 

  

	 	7.1.6	Recognizing a reasonable transition period is necessary to complete ramp-up and re-routing (which period will not exceed [***] days) Sprint will use best efforts to
move the Local Traffic destined for Authorized Codes as soon as possible. Thereafter, if either Party becomes aware of misrouting (i.e., any failure to comply with the Preferred Routing Requirement whether intentional or not) in a market, such
misrouting will be promptly brought to the other’s attention and best efforts will be made to get such traffic appropriately re-routed. If Sprint fails to re-route such traffic and regain compliance with the Preferred Routing Requirement within
[***] days, Sprint will be deemed to have failed to achieve the Preferred Routing Requirement for that month and will pay the Local Traffic rates that would have applied under the applicable current market Pricing Schedules for that month.

 4 

	7	Amendment to Sprint ICA Paragraph 2 titled “Compensation for Termination” as previously added by the Amendment dated November 4, 2005,
“Compensation for Transit Traffic. 

 The “Compensation For Termination” provision added by the
Parties’ November 4, 2005 amendment to the Sprint ICA is deleted and the following provisions are added as further subsections at the end of the existing Sprint ICA Section “7. Compensation For Termination of Transiting
Traffic:” 
  

	 	7.2	Receipt of Terminating Traffic. Neutral Tandem will terminate Local Traffic to Sprint without providing Sprint with any compensation or credit for such Local
Traffic. During each monthly billing cycle in which Sprint satisfies the Preferred Routing Requirement, Sprint [***] (e.g., interLATA or interMTA IP originated traffic, traffic for which Neutral Tandem may charge a carrier switched access and
deliver to Sprint under any other agreement, or any other traffic that is not Local Traffic, all of which is collectively, referred to herein as “Non-Local Terminating Traffic”). [***] For clarity’s sake, Neutral Tandem may continue
to terminate Non-Local Terminating Traffic [***] during a timer period in which the Preferred Routing Requirement may not be met. For the avoidance of doubt, the “Changes in Law; Reservation of Rights” provision in the parties
November 4, 2005 “Amendment to Interconnection Agreements” applies to the terms of this Section 7.2 

  

	8	Effect on Agreement 

Except as otherwise modified by this Third Amendment, the Agreement shall remain in full force an effect.
