(“GSLP” and, together with GS Bank, “Goldman Sachs”), MSSF and Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC” and, together with Barclays, CS, DBNY, DBCI, Goldman Sachs and MSSF, the “Initial Lenders”; the Initial Lenders and the Lead Arrangers are collectively referred to herein as the “Commitment Parties”, “we” or “us”) that it intends to acquire (the “Acquisition”) all the issued and outstanding equity interests of Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”) and to consummate the other Transactions (such term and each other capitalized term used but not defined herein having the meaning assigned to it in the Summary of Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Credit Facilities Term Sheet”) or Exhibit B (the “Secured Bridge Facility Term Sheet”) or Exhibit C (the “Unsecured Bridge Facility Term Sheet”), and together with the Credit Facilities Term Sheet and the Secured Bridge Facility Term Sheet, the “Term Sheets”), as applicable).  In that connection, the Company has requested that the Lead Arrangers agree to structure and arrange (I) senior secured credit facilities in the aggregate amount of US$11.0 billion, comprised of a US$4.0 billion five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a US$7.0 billion seven-year term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”, and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”; and the Senior Credit Facilities together with the Secured Bridge Facility and the Unsecured Bridge Facility, the “Facilities”), and (II) a senior secured 364-day bridge loan facility in the amount of US$19.0 billion (which may (or as required by the Fee Letter, shall) be increased by the Borrower upon delivery of a Reallocation Notice (as defined below)) (the “Secured Bridge Facility”) and (III) a senior unsecured bridge loan facility in the amount of US$8.0 billion (the “Unsecured Bridge Facility” and, together with the Secured Bridge Facility, the “Bridge Facilities”), in each case, to finance the Acquisition and the other Transactions, and the Initial Lenders commit to provide the entire amount of the Facilities as set forth below.

Credit Facility and (z) 16.67% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Facility in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this Commitment Letter and the Term Sheets.  The commitments hereunder of the Initial Lenders are several and not joint. You and the Lead Arrangers further agree that no other titles will be awarded, and no other compensation will be paid (other than as expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter referred to below) in connection with the Facilities unless you and the Lead Arrangers shall so agree. 

 

It is agreed that (i) each of the Lead Arrangers will act as a joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner for the Facilities, (ii) DBNY will act as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Senior Credit Facilities, (iii) GS Bank will act as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Secured Bridge Facility and (iv) an affiliate of a Lead Arranger appointed by the Company will act as administrative agent for the Unsecured Bridge Facility, and each of them will, in such capacities, perform the duties and exercise the authority customarily performed and exercised by it in such roles.  It is further agreed that (i) DBSI shall have “left” placement in any and all marketing materials and documentation used in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) CSLF shall have “left” placement in any and all marketing materials and documentation used in connection with the Term Loan Facility and (iii) Goldman, Sachs & Co. will act as global coordinator with respect to the Facilities.  All other financial institutions and any Lead Arranger will be listed in customary fashion (as mutually agreed to by the Lead Arrangers on the date hereof and you) on any offering or marketing materials in respect of the Facilities.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall have the right (in consultation with the Lead Arrangers) at any time on or prior to the 15th business day following the date this Commitment Letter is executed and delivered by you to appoint an unlimited number of additional joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners and an unlimited number of additional agents or co-agents or confer other titles with respect to the Facilities in a manner and with economics determined by you and reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arrangers (the “Additional Agents”); provided that the aggregate economics payable to such Additional Agents in respect of the Facilities shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total economics which would otherwise be payable to the Initial Lenders pursuant to the Fee Letter (exclusive of any fees payable to the administrative agent in its capacity as such) (it being understood that (i) the commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder will be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the commitments of each such Additional Agent (or its relevant affiliate) (each, an “Additional Initial Lender”) under each Facility, upon the execution of customary joinder documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers, (ii) the commitments assumed by such Additional Initial Lender for each Facility will be in proportion to the economics allocated to such Additional Agent and ratable across all Facilities, and (iii) no Additional Agents (nor any affiliate thereof) shall receive greater economics in respect of any Facility than those received by Barclays, CS, DB, Goldman Sachs, MSSF and RBCCM. Each party hereto agrees to execute such joinder agreements, amendments, amendments and restatements and other documents with respect to this Commitment Letter as are required to give effect to this paragraph.

 

Each Initial Lender reserves the right, prior to or after the execution of definitive documentation for any Facility, to syndicate all or a portion of its commitments in respect of such Facility hereunder to one or more financial institutions identified by the Lead Arrangers in consultation with you and reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arrangers and you (your consent not to be unreasonably withheld), including, without limitation, any relationship lenders designated by you and reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arrangers, that will become parties to such definitive documentation or to this Commitment Letter as set forth herein pursuant to a 

 

3

 

syndication to be managed by the Lead Arrangers (the Initial Lenders and other the financial institutions becoming parties to such definitive documentation or this Commitment Letter being collectively referred to as the “Lenders”).  You agree until the date that is the earlier of (i) 60 days after the Closing Date and (ii) the date on which a Senior Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) is achieved (such earlier date referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Syndication Date”) actively to assist, and to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement) to cause Sprint to assist, the Lead Arrangers in completing an orderly and Senior Successful Syndication of each Facility.  In that regard, you agree promptly to prepare and provide to the Lead Arrangers such information with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries, and to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement) to cause Sprint promptly to prepare and provide to the Lead Arrangers such information with respect to Sprint and its subsidiaries, in each case including financial information, as the Lead Arrangers may reasonably request in connection with the arrangement and syndication of each Facility; provided that the only financial statements that you or Sprint shall be required to deliver are those financial statements described in paragraphs 2 and 3 of Exhibit D attached hereto.  Your assistance shall also include (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts benefit materially from your existing lending and investment banking relationships and (consistent with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement) the existing lending and investment banking relationships of Sprint, (b) direct contact between appropriate senior management of the Company and the proposed Lenders (and your using commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement) to arrange such contact between appropriate senior management of Sprint and the proposed Lenders), (c) your assistance, and your using commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement) to cause Sprint to assist, in the preparation of a confidential information memorandum and other marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndication of each Facility (collectively, “Information Materials”), (d) your using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, prior to the launch of general syndication, indicative pro forma ratings of each Facility and corporate/family ratings for each of the Company and Sprint from each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”), and (e) the hosting, with the Lead Arrangers, of a single lender meeting and a reasonable number of conference calls with prospective Lenders at times to be mutually agreed.  In addition, to facilitate an orderly and successful syndication of each Facility, you agree that, until the later of the Closing Date and the completion of a successful syndication of each Facility (as defined in the Fee Letter referred to below) you and your subsidiaries will not (and you will use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement) to cause Sprint and its subsidiaries not to) issue, sell, offer, place or arrange any debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities of the Company, Sprint or their respective subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely impair the primary syndication of such Facility, other than (i) the Facilities, (ii) the Permanent Financing, (iii) any Debt Offers (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and (iv) any debt excluded from the definition of the term “Debt Incurrence” as defined in the Secured Bridge Facility Term Sheet, in each case without the written consent of the Lead Arrangers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Without limiting your obligations to assist with the syndication efforts as set forth herein and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets, the Fee Letter or the definitive documentation for the Facilities, each Initial Lender agrees that neither the commencement nor the completion of a successful syndication nor the obtaining of ratings nor your compliance with this paragraph in any other manner shall constitute a condition to the funding under any Facility on the Closing Date.

You agree, at the request of the Lead Arrangers, to assist, and to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement) to cause Sprint to assist, in the preparation of an additional version of the Information Materials to be used by prospective Lenders’ public-side employees and representatives who do not wish to receive material non-public information (within the meaning of United States Federal securities laws) with respect to the Company, Sprint, their respective subsidiaries and any securities of any of the foregoing (“MNPI”) and who may be engaged in investment and other market related activities with respect to the Company, Sprint, their respective subsidiaries or any securities of any of the foregoing.  It is understood that, in connection with your assistance described above, you will provide customary authorization letters (and you will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, to have Sprint provide such letter) to the Lead Arrangers authorizing the distribution of the Information Materials to prospective Lenders and, in the case of any distribution of any Information Materials, to “public-siders”, containing a representation that such Information Materials do not contain MNPI and a customary “10b-5” representation.  You agree that the following documents may be distributed to both “private-siders” and “public-siders” unless you advise the Lead Arrangers in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distribution that such materials should only be distributed to “private-siders” and provided that you shall have been given a reasonable opportunity to review such documents: (a) the Term Sheets, (b) administrative materials prepared by any Lead Arranger for prospective Lenders (such as lender meeting invitations, lender allocations and funding and closing memoranda), (c) notifications of changes in the terms of the Facilities, and (d) drafts of the definitive documentation for the Facilities.  If you advise us that any of the foregoing should be distributed only to “private-siders”, then “public-siders” will not receive such materials without further discussions with you.  

 

You hereby represent and covenant that (a) all written information, other than the Projections (as defined below) and information of a general economic or industry nature, that has been or will be made available to any of the Initial Lenders or Lead Arrangers by or on behalf of you in connection with the Transactions (the “Information”) is or, when furnished, will be, in each case when taken as a whole and in light of the circumstances when furnished, correct in all material respects at the time furnished and does not or will not at the time furnished contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, taken as a whole, not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (b) the projections, financial estimates, forecasts and other forward-looking information that have been or will be made available to any of the Initial Lenders or Lead Arrangers by or on behalf of you in connection with the Transactions (the “Projections”) have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time made and at the time the Projections are so made available (it being understood that the Projections, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and no assurances are being given that the results reflected in the Projections will be achieved); provided that, with respect to any Information or Projections prepared by or relating to Sprint or its subsidiaries, the foregoing representations are made only to the best of your knowledge.  You agree that if at any time until the later of the Syndication Date and the Closing Date you become aware that the representations in the immediately preceding sentence would not be true in any material respect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will (and with respect to Sprint, use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause Sprint to) promptly supplement the Information and the Projections so that such representations or warranties would be true in all material respects under those circumstances.  You understand that in connection with the syndication of the Facilities we will use and rely on the Information without independent verification thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that each Initial Lender’s commitments hereunder are not subject 

 

5

 

to or conditioned upon the accuracy of the representations set forth in this paragraph, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets, the Fee Letter or the definitive documentation for the Facilities, the accuracy of such representations shall not constitute a condition to the funding under any Facility on the Closing Date.

 

The Lead Arrangers will, in consultation with you, manage all aspects of the syndication of the Facilities, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocations of the commitments among the Lenders, the allocation of any title or role to any Lender and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders; it being understood and agreed that we will not syndicate to those persons identified in writing to the Lead Arrangers on or prior to our execution of this Commitment Letter and, with respect to persons who are competitors of you or your subsidiaries or Sprint or its subsidiaries, identified in writing from time to time after the date of this Commitment Letter (but without retroactive effect) and, in each case, their affiliates (other than bona fide debt fund affiliates of competitors) to the extent such affiliates are identified in writing or are otherwise clearly identifiable on the basis of name (collectively, the “Disqualified Lenders).  Notwithstanding the Lead Arrangers’ right to syndicate the Facilities (but subject to the fourth paragraph of this Commitment Letter and other than in the case of an assignment of commitments under the Secured Bridge Facility with your consent pursuant to a customary joinder agreement to this Commitment Letter), no Initial Lender shall be relieved or released from its commitment hereunder prior to the funding thereof on the Closing Date in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of such Facility (and unless you otherwise agree in writing, each Initial Lender and each Lead Arranger shall at all times retain exclusive control over all its rights and obligations with respect to such Facility and its commitments in respect thereof, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments of this Commitment Letter and the definitive documentation with respect to such Facility, and each Initial Lender and each Lead Arranger shall notify you of any participation of its commitments in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility hereunder).  In connection with any assignments to Additional Initial Lenders via a customary joinder agreement, you agree, at the request of the Lead Arrangers, to enter into appropriate documentation (including, if requested by the Lead Arrangers, an amendment and restatement of this Commitment Letter, or one or more joinder agreements, pursuant to which such Additional Initial Lender will become parties to this Commitment Letter and extend commitments in respect of such Facility directly to you) containing provisions relating to the allocation of titles and roles (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to your rights set forth in paragraph 4 of this Commitment Letter to determine titles and roles), rights and responsibilities in connection with the syndication of such Facility and the allocation of any reductions in the amount of such Facility and, subject to the provisions hereof and of the Fee Letter, rights of the Additional Initial Lenders to participate in determinations to be made by the Lead Arrangers under this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (but which will not, except as agreed by you, add any new conditions to the availability of any Facility or change the terms of any Facility or increase the aggregate compensation payable by you in connection therewith as set forth in this Commitment Letter and in the Fee Letter). You acknowledge and agree that the amount of the Secured Bridge Facility will be reduced as provided under the “Mandatory Commitment Reduction and Prepayment” section of the Secured Bridge Facility Term Sheet upon the occurrence of any of the events described therein at any time after the date hereof, and that any such reduction will be allocated on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of any Additional Initial Lender, on a less than pro rata basis, if so provided in the joinder or other applicable agreement pursuant to which it become a party hereto) among the commitments of the Initial Lenders and the Additional Initial Lenders in respect of the Secured Bridge Facility or, to the extent permitted in the Secured Bridge Facility Term Sheet, the other Facilities. You

 

6

 

acknowledge and agree that the amount of the Unsecured Bridge Facility will be reduced as provided under the “Mandatory Commitment Reduction and Prepayment” section of the Unsecured Bridge Facility Term Sheet upon the occurrence of any of the events described therein at any time after the date hereof, and that any such reduction will be allocated on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of any Additional Initial Lenders, on a less than pro rata basis, if so provided in the joinder or other applicable agreement pursuant to which it become a party hereto) among the commitments of the Initial Lenders and the Additional Initial Lenders in respect of the Unsecured Bridge Facility or, to the extent permitted in the Secured Bridge Facility Term Sheet, the other Facilities.

 

As consideration for the Initial Lenders’ commitments hereunder and our agreements to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay to us the fees as set forth in the lead arranger fee letter dated the date hereof and delivered herewith (the “Fee Letter”).

 

The commitments of the Initial Lenders and the agreements of the Initial Lenders and the Lead Arrangers hereunder in respect of each Facility are subject only to the following conditions (collectively, the “Funding Conditions”, and the date on which such conditions are satisfied or waived, the “Closing Date”):  (a) except as (i) set forth in any Sprint Filed SEC Documents (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), excluding any disclosures in such Sprint Filed SEC Documents (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) contained in any risk factors section, any section related to forward-looking statements and other disclosures that are predictive, cautionary or forward-looking in nature, or (ii) except as disclosed in the disclosure letter delivered by Sprint to T-Mobile (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) at or prior to the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, since March 31, 2017, there have been no Effects (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) that, individually or in the aggregate, have had or would reasonably be expected to have a “Material Adverse Effect on Sprint” (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), (b) the execution and delivery by the Borrower and the Guarantors of definitive documentation for such Facility consistent with this Commitment Letter, the applicable Term Sheet and the Fee Letter and subject to the Documentation Provision and (c) the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions expressly set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto.  For purposes of the foregoing, “Material Adverse Effect” means any Material Adverse Effect on Sprint (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).  It is understood that there are no conditions (implied or otherwise) to the commitment hereunder (including compliance with the terms of this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets, the Fee Letter, the definitive documentation for the Facilities or otherwise) other than the Funding Conditions (and upon satisfaction or waiver of the Funding Conditions, the funding duly requested by the Borrower under each Facility on the Closing Date shall occur). 

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets, the Fee Letter, the definitive documentation for the Facilities or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (a) the only representations the making and accuracy of which shall be a condition to availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date shall be (i) the representations made by Sprint in the Business Combination Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that you (or your affiliates) have the right under the Business Combination Agreement to terminate your obligations under the Business Combination Agreement or not to consummate the Acquisition as a result of such representations in the Business Combination Agreement being inaccurate (the “Business Combination Agreement Representations”) and (ii) the Specified Representations (as defined below) and (b) the terms of the definitive documentation for each Facility shall be in a form such that such Facility is available on the Closing Date if the Funding Conditions are satisfied or waived (it being understood that, to the extent any Collateral (other than to the extent that a lien 

 

7

 

on such Collateral may be perfected by (x) the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code or (y) the delivery of stock certificates of any material domestic subsidiary of the Company or any Guarantor (other than any subsidiary of Sprint to the extent the stock certificates of such subsidiary were not obtained after the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts on or prior to the Closing Date) which are required to be delivered under the Term Sheets) is not or cannot be provided or perfected on the Closing Date after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so (consistent with the Business Combination Agreement), the provision or perfection of a security interest in such Collateral shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Facilities and the making of the initial loans and other extensions of credit thereunder on the Closing Date, but shall be required to be perfected within 90 days after the Closing Date (in each case subject to extensions granted by the applicable Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion)).  For purposes hereof, (x) “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties of the Borrower and each of the Guarantors set forth in the applicable Term Sheet with respect to (A) organization and power, authorization, due execution and delivery, in each case as they relate to the entering into and performance of the definitive documentation for such Facility by the Borrower and the Guarantors; (B) the enforceability with respect to the Borrower and Guarantors of the definitive documentation for such Facility (subject to customary enforceability exceptions); (C) noncontravention by the definitive documentation for such Facility with respect to the organizational documents of the Borrower and the Guarantors; (D) Federal Reserve margin regulations; (E) Investment Company Act status of the Borrower and the Guarantors; (F) use of proceeds of the loans under such Facility not in violation of OFAC and FCPA; (G) solvency as of the Closing Date of the Company and its subsidiaries (including Sprint and its subsidiaries) on a consolidated basis (with solvency to be defined in a manner consistent with the form of solvency certificate attached as Exhibit E); (H) the creation, validity and perfection of the security interests in the Collateral (subject in all respects to the limitations set forth above in this paragraph), (I) the PATRIOT Act and (J) absence of a Specified Event of Default and (y) “Specified Event of Default” means a bankruptcy event of default with respect to the Company or the Borrower.  The provisions of this paragraph are referred to as the “Documentation Provision”.  

 

You agree (a) to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Initial Lenders and Lead Arrangers and each of their affiliates, and each of the respective officers, directors, employees, members, partners, trustees, advisors, agents and controlling persons of the foregoing and their respective successors and assigns (each, an “indemnified person”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, and expenses reasonably related thereto, to which any such indemnified person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets, the Fee Letter, the Facilities and the actual or proposed use of the proceeds thereof or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any indemnified person is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by you or by any other person) (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”), and to reimburse each indemnified person upon demand for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal or other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any Proceeding (it being agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not be responsible for the reimbursement of fees, charges and disbursements of more than one firm of counsel for all the indemnified persons and, if deemed reasonably necessary by us, one firm of regulatory counsel and/or one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction, in each case for all indemnified persons, except where any indemnified person reasonably believes that an actual or perceived conflict of interest exists affecting such indemnified person and informs you of such conflict, in which case you shall also be responsible for the reimbursement of fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel (and, if deemed reasonably necessary by such indemnified person, one firm of regulatory and/or one firm of local

 

8

 

counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction) for such indemnified person); provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any indemnified person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) to the extent they are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such indemnified person or any Related Person thereof (as defined below) or a material breach of the agreements set forth herein of such indemnified person or any of its Related Persons or (ii) to the extent resulting from any Proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of you or any of your affiliates and that is brought by an indemnified person against any other indemnified person, other than claims against any Initial Lender or Lead Arranger in its capacity in fulfilling its role as an agent or arranger or any other similar role under the Facilities; and (b) to reimburse the Initial Lenders, the Lead Arrangers and each of their affiliates upon demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of outside counsel (and, if deemed reasonably necessary by us, one firm of regulatory counsel and/or one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction)) incurred in connection with the Facilities and any related documentation (including this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets, the Fee Letter and the definitive documentation for the Facilities) or the amendment, modification or waiver of any thereof.  No indemnified person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use of Information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent any such damages are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified person or any of its Related Persons, and no party hereto shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets, the Fee Letter, the Facilities or its activities related thereto; provided that nothing contained in this sentence will limit your indemnity and reimbursement obligations set forth in this paragraph.  For purposes hereof, a “Related Person” of an indemnified person means (a) any controlling person, controlled affiliate or subsidiary of such indemnified person, (b) the respective directors, officers or employees of such indemnified person or any of its subsidiaries, controlled affiliates or controlling persons, and (c) the respective agents and advisors of such indemnified person or any of its subsidiaries, controlled affiliates or controlling persons (with respect to this clause (c), in each case acting at the direction of such indemnified person or such subsidiaries, controlled affiliates or controlling persons).

 

You will not, without the prior written consent of the applicable indemnified person (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any Proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified person is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability, or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified person.  You will not be liable for any settlement, compromise, consent or termination of any pending or threatened Proceeding effected without your prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that the foregoing indemnity will apply to any such settlement, compromise, consent or termination in the event that you were offered the ability to assume the defense of the action that was the subject matter of such settlement, compromise, consent or termination and elected not to assume such defense; and provided, further, that if a Proceeding is settled, compromised, consented to or terminated with your prior written consent or if there is a final judgment in any such Proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each indemnified person to the extent and in the manner set forth above.

This Commitment Letter shall not be assignable by you without the prior written consent of each of the Initial Lenders and the Lead Arrangers (and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void), is intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and the indemnified persons and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, create any rights in favor of or be enforceable by or at the request of any person other than the parties hereto and the indemnified persons.  Except (x) as provided in the eighth paragraph of this Commitment Letter and (y) with respect to assignments between GSLP and GS Bank, the Initial Lenders may not assign all or any portion of their respective commitments in respect of any Facility hereunder (and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void).  The commitments hereunder of the Initial Lenders with respect to each Facility shall be superseded by the commitments in respect of such Facility set forth in the definitive credit agreement for such Facility, so long as such definitive credit agreement for such Facility is consistent with the terms of this Commitment Letter and the exhibits and annexes attached hereto (including the terms contained under the caption “Certain Funds” in the applicable Term Sheet) and such facility does not contain any conditions to funding other than the Funding Conditions, and upon the execution and delivery of such definitive credit agreement for such Facility by all of the parties thereto and the effectiveness of such definitive credit agreement, each Initial Lender shall be released from its commitment hereunder.  Any and all obligations of, and services to be provided by, any Initial Lender or Lead Arranger hereunder may be performed, and any and all rights of any Initial Lender or Lead Arranger hereunder may be exercised, by or through its affiliates; provided that such Initial Lender or Lead Arranger shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder in the event any such affiliate shall fail to perform such obligation in accordance with the terms hereof.  

 

This Commitment Letter may not be amended or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by you and us.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Commitment Letter by facsimile transmission or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.  This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter are the only agreements that have been entered into among the parties hereto with respect to the Facilities and set forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect thereto.

 

THIS COMMITMENT LETTER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK; provided that (a) the interpretation of Material Adverse Effect and whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred, (b) the accuracy of any Business Combination Agreement Representations and whether as a result of a breach thereof you (or any of your affiliates) have the right under the Business Combination Agreement to terminate your obligations under the Business Combination Agreement or not to consummate the Acquisition as a result of such representations in the Business Combination Agreement being inaccurate and (c) whether the Acquisition has been consummated in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.  Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or Federal court sitting in the county of New York over any suit, action or proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of, relating to, based upon or as a result of this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets, the Fee Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Each party hereto agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to it at the address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court.  Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding

 

10

 

brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in any inconvenient forum.   Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced in any other courts to whose jurisdiction it is or may be subject, by suit upon judgment.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR BASED UPON OR AS A RESULT OF THIS COMMITMENT LETTER, THE TERM SHEETS, THE FEE LETTER OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

This Commitment Letter is delivered to you on the understanding that none of this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets, the Fee Letter or any of their terms or substance shall be disclosed, directly or indirectly, by you to any other person, except that (a) this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets, the Fee Letter and their terms and substance may be disclosed to your and Deutsche Telekom AG’s (“DT’“), and your and DT’s respective subsidiaries, and the respective directors, officers, employees, agents, auditors, attorneys and other advisors and representatives of each of you, DT and your respective subsidiaries who are directly involved in the consideration of this matter and informed of the confidential nature thereof; (b) this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets and their terms and substance (and a version of the Fee Letter redacted in the manner reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arrangers) may be disclosed (i) to Sprint, SoftBank Group Corp. (“SoftBank”) , and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, auditors, attorneys and other advisors and representations who are directly involved in the consideration of the Acquisition and informed of the confidential nature thereof and (ii) to the extent requested by them, to Moody’s, S&P and Fitch on a confidential basis; (c) this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets and their terms and substance (but not the Fee Letter or, except as specified below, their terms or substance) may be disclosed (i) in any prospectus, offering memorandum or confidential information memorandum relating to any Permanent Financing and (ii) in one or more filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, you may disclose the aggregate amount payable as fees under the Fee Letter in any of the foregoing as part of the generic aggregate transaction expenses included in any sources and uses disclosure; (d) this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets, the Fee Letter and their terms and substance otherwise may be disclosed as may be compelled in a judicial or administrative proceeding or as otherwise required by law or requested by governmental authority (in which case we agree to the extent permitted by applicable law to inform you promptly thereof); or (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or enforcement hereof or thereof; provided that the foregoing restrictions shall cease to apply (except in respect of the Fee Letter and its terms and substance) after this Commitment Letter has been accepted by you and it has become publicly available or, if not made publicly available, on the date that is two years following the termination of this Commitment Letter in accordance with its terms.

 

Each Lead Arranger and Initial Lender shall use all non-public information provided to it by or on behalf of you hereunder solely for the purpose of providing the services that are the subject of this letter agreement and shall treat confidentially all such information, except in each case for information that was or becomes publicly available other than by reason of disclosure by such Lead Arranger or Initial Lender in violation of this letter agreement or was or becomes available to such Lead Arranger or Initial Lender or its affiliates from a source which is not known by such Lead Arranger or Initial Lender to be subject to a confidentiality obligation to the Company, provided that nothing herein shall prevent such Lead Arranger or Initial Lender

 

11

 

from disclosing any such information (i) to lenders or prospective lenders, participants or assignees under the Facilities or prospective hedge providers, in each case, on a confidential basis, (ii) to the extent requested by them, to Moody’s, S&P and Fitch on a confidential basis, (iii) as may be compelled in a judicial or administrative proceeding or as otherwise required by law or requested by governmental authority (in which case you agree to the extent permitted by applicable law to inform us promptly thereof (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any self-regulatory authority or governmental or regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority)), (iv) to such Lead Arranger’s or Initial Lender’s employees, legal counsel, independent auditors and other experts or agents who need to know such information and are informed of the confidential nature of such information, (v) to any of its affiliates (with such Lead Arranger or Initial Lender being responsible for its affiliate’s compliance with this paragraph) and its affiliates’ employees, legal counsel, independent auditors and other experts or agents who need to know such information and are informed of the confidential nature of such information, (vi) upon the request or demand of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over it or any of its affiliates, (vii) to the extent any such information becomes publicly available other than by reason of disclosure by us, our respective affiliates or any of our respective representatives in breach of this Commitment Letter, (viii) to the extent that such information is independently developed by us or is received by us from a third party that is not, to our knowledge, subject to confidentiality obligations owing to you, DT, Sprint, SoftBank or any of your or their respective affiliates or related parties, (ix) to establish a due diligence defense or (x) to enforce their respective rights hereunder or under the Fee Letter.  In addition, each Lead Arranger and Initial Lender may disclose the existence of the Facilities and the information about the Facilities to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Lead Arrangers or Initial Lenders in connection with the administration and management of the Facilities.  This undertaking by each Lead Arranger or Initial Lender shall automatically terminate on the date that is two years from the date hereof.  Nothing in this letter agreement precludes any Lead Arranger or Initial Lender or its affiliates from using or disclosing any confidential information in connection with any suit, action or proceeding for the purpose of defending itself, reducing its liability or protecting or exercising any of its rights, remedies or interests.

 

You agree that each of us will act under this Commitment Letter as an independent contractor and that nothing in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter, or the communications pursuant hereto or otherwise, will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary duty between any of us, on the one hand, and you, Sprint or your or its subsidiaries, affiliates or equityholders, on the other, irrespective of whether any of us has advised or is advising you on other matters.  You acknowledge and agree that (a) the financing transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter are arm’s-length commercial transactions among us and you, (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transactions, each of us is acting solely as a principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of you, Sprint, your or its subsidiaries and affiliates or any other person, and none of us has assumed (and will not be deemed on the basis of our communications or activities hereunder to have assumed) an advisory or fiduciary responsibility or any other obligation in favor of you, Sprint, your or its subsidiaries or affiliates or any other person (irrespective of whether any of us or any of our affiliates are concurrently providing other services to you), and (c) you are responsible for making your own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto and have consulted your own legal and financial advisors to the extent you have deemed appropriate.  You hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims you may have against any of us for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the financing transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter and agree that none of us shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect) in connection with the

 

12

 

financing transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter to you in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of you, including your stockholders, employees and creditors.

 

You acknowledge that each of us and our affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which you or Sprint may have conflicting interests.  Each of us agrees that it will not use confidential information obtained from you in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby in connection with the performance by it of services for other companies, or will furnish any such information to other companies.  You also acknowledge that none of us has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or to furnish to you, confidential information obtained from other companies.

 

You further acknowledge that each of us, together with our affiliates, is a full service securities firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services.  In the ordinary course of business, each of us and our affiliates may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for our own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, you and your subsidiaries and other companies with which you or your subsidiaries may have commercial or other relationships.  With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any of us, any of our affiliates or any of our or their customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.

 

As you know, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC has been retained by the Company (or one of its affiliates) and DT as financial advisor (in such capacity, the “Financial Advisor”) in connection with the Transactions. You agree to such retention, and further agree not to assert any claim you might allege based on any actual or potential conflicts of interest that might be asserted to arise or result from the engagement of the Financial Advisor, on the one hand, and our and our affiliates’ relationships with you as described and referred to herein, on the other. Each of the Commitment Parties hereto acknowledges (i) the retention of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC as the Financial Advisor and (ii) that such relationship does not create any fiduciary duties or fiduciary responsibilities to such Commitment Party on the part of Goldman Sachs or its affiliates.

 

The provisions contained herein relating to compensation, expense reimbursement, indemnification, governing law, submission to jurisdiction, waiver of jury trial and confidentiality and in the Fee Letter shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Commitment Letter or the commitment hereunder, and whether or not definitive documentation for any Facility shall be executed (except to the extent a similar provision relating to expense reimbursement and indemnification (covering the parties and matters covered by the analogous provisions of this Commitment Letter) is also in the definitive documentation for such Facility, in which case such provision in the definitive documentation for such Facility shall govern upon execution thereof).  The provisions contained herein relating to syndication and information shall remain in full force and effect whether or not definitive documentation for any Facility shall be executed.

 

Each of the Initial Lenders and Lead Arrangers hereby notifies you that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it and the Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Guarantors, which information includes the name

 

13

 

and address and other information of the Borrower and the Guarantors that will allow the Initial Lenders, Lead Arrangers and Lenders to identify the Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the Patriot Act.

 

Each of the parties hereto agrees that this Commitment Letter is a binding and enforceable agreement (subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity) with respect to the subject matter contained herein, including an agreement to fund or otherwise extend credit under the commitments hereunder subject only to satisfaction of the Funding Conditions.

 

If the foregoing correctly sets forth our agreement, please indicate your acceptance of the terms hereof and of the Term Sheets and the Fee Letter by returning to us an executed counterpart hereof and of the Fee Letter, to the Lead Arrangers, in each case not later than 11:59 p.m. New York City time, on April 30, 2018, failing which the Initial Lenders’ commitments and the agreements of the Initial Lenders and Lead Arrangers hereunder will expire at such time.  In the event the Closing Date does not occur on or before 11:59 p.m. (New York time), on the Outside Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement as in effect on the date hereof) (or, if the Outside Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement as in effect on the date hereof) shall have been extended (on one or more occasions) as provided in Section 8.1(b)(i) of the Business Combination Agreement, then on such extended Outside Date), the Initial Lenders’ commitments and the agreements of the Commitment Parties hereunder will automatically expire and terminate at such time, without any further action or notice and without any further obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Commitment Letter shall also terminate upon the earlier of (i) the valid termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms or (ii) the consummation of the Acquisition with the use of the Facilities (after the funding thereof) or without the use of the Facilities (unless the Commitment Parties have failed to fund in breach of their obligations hereunder); provided that the termination of any commitment pursuant to this sentence does not prejudice our or your rights and remedies in respect of any breach of this Commitment Letter.

iii.       any domestic subsidiary that owns no material   assets (directly or through subsidiaries) other than equity interests of one   or more foreign subsidiaries of the Borrower that are CFCs (a “FSHCO”);

 

iv.       any insurance subsidiary;

 

v.        any subsidiary organized in a jurisdiction   other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia   (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any subsidiary organized in a   territory of the United States);

 

vi.       existing and future spectrum SPVs (each, a “Spectrum   SPV”), receivables SPVs and tower SPVs;

 

vii.      any subsidiary that is prohibited from   guaranteeing the 
    

 

A-2

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
obligations under the   loan documents by any applicable law or that would require consent, approval,   license or authorization of a governmental authority to guarantee such   obligations (unless such consent, approval, license or authorization has been   received);

 

viii.     each subsidiary that is prohibited by any   applicable contractual requirement on the Closing Date or on the date of the   acquisition of such subsidiary (not created in contemplation of the   acquisition by the Borrower of such subsidiary) from guaranteeing the   obligations under the loan documents (and for so long as such restriction or   any replacement or renewal thereof is in effect);

 

ix.       any other subsidiary if in the reasonable good   faith determination of the Borrower in consultation with the Senior   Administrative Agent, a guarantee by such subsidiary would result in   materially adverse tax or regulatory consequences to the Borrower or any of   its subsidiaries; and

 

x.        any other subsidiary with respect to which   the Senior Administrative Agent reasonably agrees that the cost or other   consequences of providing a guarantee is likely to be excessive in relation to   the value to be afforded thereby.

 

Notwithstanding the   foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, (I) each of Sprint and its   subsidiaries will not be required to guarantee the Senior Credit Facilities   until the first date on or after the Closing Date that Sprint or such   subsidiary actually guarantees the Existing T-Mobile Notes; (II) the   guarantees of the Senior Credit Facilities by Sprint, Sprint   Communications, Inc. (“Sprint Communications”) and Sprint Capital   Corp. (“Sprint Capital”, and together with Sprint and Sprint   Communications, the “Unsecured Guarantors”) will not be secured; and   (III) each Subsidiary of the Parent that guarantees any of the Existing   T-Mobile Notes will guarantee the Senior Credit Facilities.

 

In addition,   notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Guarantor shall   be jointly and severally liable or guarantee or provide any collateral as   security for any Permitted Secured Hedging Obligations if, and to the extent   that such liability or such guaranty of such swap obligation is or becomes   illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Security:
    	
 
    	
Subject to the   limitations set forth below in this section and the Documentation Provision,   the obligations of the Borrower and each Guarantor (other than each Unsecured   Guarantor and each SPV Holdco for which the Borrower has made an Unsecured   SPV Holdco Election (as defined below)) in respect of the Senior Credit   Facilities, (unless the
    

 

A-3

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
Borrower otherwise   elects by notice to the Senior Administrative Agent at the time it enters   into such obligation or the agreement governing such obligation) any hedging   obligations of the Borrower owed to a Lender, the Senior Administrative   Agent, the Lead Arrangers or their respective affiliates or to an entity that   was a Lender, the Senior Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger or affiliate   thereof at the time of such transaction (“Permitted Secured Hedging   Obligations”) and (unless the Borrower otherwise elects by notice to the   Senior Administrative Agent at the time it enters into such obligation or the   agreement governing such obligation) any treasury management obligations of   the Borrower owed to a Lender, the Senior Administrative Agent, the Lead   Arrangers or their respective affiliates or to an entity that was a Lender,   the Senior Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger or affiliate thereof at the   time of such transaction (“Permitted Cash Management Obligations”)   will be secured by the following: a perfected first priority (subject to   liens permitted under the Senior Credit Facilities) security interest in   substantially all of its tangible and intangible personal property assets,   including U.S. intellectual property, licenses, permits, material   intercompany indebtedness, and all of the capital stock directly owned by the   Borrower and each such Guarantor (but limited in the case of voting stock of   any CFC or FSHCO to 65% of the voting stock of such CFC or FSHCO) (the items   described above, but excluding the Excluded Assets (as defined below),   collectively, the “Collateral”).

 

Notwithstanding   anything to the contrary, the Collateral shall exclude the following:

 

i.         any interest in real property;

 

ii.        motor vehicles and other assets subject to   certificates of title (except to the extent perfection can be obtained by   filing of financing statements), letter of credit rights (except to the   extent perfection can be obtained by filing of financing statements) and   commercial tort claims (except to the extent perfection can be obtained by   filing of financing statements);

 

iii.       any lease, license or other similar agreement   or any property subject to a purchase money security interest, capital lease   or similar arrangement to the extent that a grant of a security interest   therein would violate or invalidate such lease, license or other agreement or   purchase money arrangement, capital lease, or similar arrangement or create a   right of termination in favor of any other party thereto (other than a   Borrower or a Guarantor) after giving effect to the applicable   anti-assignment provisions of applicable law, other than proceeds and   receivables thereof, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective   under applicable law notwithstanding such prohibition;

 

iv.       any “intent to use” trademark applications   prior to the issuance of a statement of use with respect thereto;
    

 

A-4

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
v.        (i) any governmental licenses or state   or local franchises, licenses, permits, charters and authorizations, to the   extent security interests therein are prohibited or restricted thereby and   (ii) any equity in a regulated subsidiary or any asset owned by a   regulated subsidiary to the extent prohibited by any law, rule or   regulation or that would if pledged, in the good faith judgment of Parent,   result in adverse regulatory consequences or impair the conduct of the   business of Parent or such subsidiaries, in each case of clauses (i) and   (ii) after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of   applicable law;

 

vi.       any equity interests of (a) unrestricted   subsidiaries, (b) Parent, (c) any Immaterial Subsidiary,   (d) any captive insurance subsidiaries, (e) any not-for-profit   subsidiaries, (f) any receivables SPVs and tower SPVs, and (g) any   person that is not a wholly-owned restricted subsidiary to the extent the   granting of a security interest therein would violate the terms of such   person’s organizational documents or any shareholders’ agreement or joint   venture agreement relating to such person;

 

vii.      assets securing any permitted receivables   transaction;

 

viii.     any assets to the extent a pledge thereof would   be prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation after giving effect   to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of applicable law, or by any   applicable contractual requirement on the Closing Date or on the date of the   acquisition of such subsidiary (not created in contemplation of the   acquisition by the Borrower of such subsidiary) (and for so long as such   restriction or any replacement or renewal thereof is in effect);

 

ix.       any assets to the extent a security interest   in such assets would result in material adverse tax consequences (including   as a result of any law or regulation in any applicable jurisdiction similar   to Section 956 of the Internal Revenue Code) as reasonably determined by   the Borrower in consultation with the Senior Administrative Agent;

 

x.        margin stock;

 

xi.       any assets as to which the Senior Collateral   Agent reasonably determines in consultation with the Borrower that the costs   of obtaining a security interest are excessive in relation to the value of   the security afforded thereby;

 

xii.      any assets (including equity interests) held by   a Spectrum SPV;

 

xiii.     for the avoidance of doubt, any assets held by   an Unsecured Guarantor and, if the Borrower makes the Unsecured SPV Holdco   Election, any assets (any equity interests issued by any Spectrum SPV) held   by the applicable SPV Holdco;

 

xiv.     FCC Licenses, but solely to the extent that at   any time the 
    

 

A-5

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
Senior Administrative   Agent may not validly possess a security interest directly in the FCC   Licenses pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the   regulations promulgated thereunder, as in effect at such time provided that,   to the maximum extent permitted by law, the economic value of the FCC   Licenses, all rights incident or appurtenant to the FCC Licenses and the   right to receive all monies, consideration and proceeds derived from or in   connection with the sale, assignment or transfer of the FCC License, shall   not be excluded pursuant to this clause (xiii); and

 

xv.      other exceptions to be mutually agreed upon   (the foregoing described in clauses (i) through (xiv) are   collectively, the “Excluded Assets”).

 

In addition, in no   event shall (1) deposit or securities account control agreements or   control, lockbox or similar arrangements be required, (2) notices be   required to be sent to account debtors or other contractual third parties   unless an event of default has occurred and is continuing or   (3) foreign-law governed security documents or perfection under foreign   law be required.

 

The liens on the   Collateral securing the Senior Credit Facilities will rank equally and   ratably with the liens securing the Secured Bridge Facility and/or any   Permanent Financing designated by the Borrower, existing and future secured   spectrum leases under which the Borrower or any of its restricted   subsidiaries are a party, and other secured debt or other obligations   permitted to be incurred on an equal and ratable basis from time to time   consistent with the Precedent Senior Credit Agreement, pursuant to a   customary intercreditor or collateral trust agreement.  Such intercreditor or collateral trust   agreement will provide for control of collateral release decisions and other   terms necessary to ensure that Section 314(d) of the Trust   Indenture Act is inapplicable to any secured notes (including the Initial   Secured Notes) secured thereunder.

 

Notwithstanding the   foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, (i) no liens shall secure   obligations of Sprint, Sprint Communications or Sprint Capital under the   Guarantees thereof and (ii) to the extent that the granting, or   continuation, of any lien or security interest on any assets of Sprint or any   subsidiary of Sprint would require any Unsecured Guarantor’s existing senior   notes to be secured on an equal and ratable basis, such lien shall not be   required to be granted, or shall be released.

 

If the Borrower or any   Subsidiary sells, transfers, conveys or otherwise disposes of any FCC   Licenses or other spectrum or related property or assets to a Spectrum SPV in   connection with the incurrence of Indebtedness by such Spectrum SPV, the   liens on such property or assets securing the Senior Credit Facilities will   be automatically released.

 

At any time or from   time to time, the Borrower may by written notice to the Senior Administrative   Agent elect (a “Unsecured SPV Holdco
    

 

A-6

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
Election”)   to cause the Guarantee by any Subsidiary that owns no material assets other   than equity interests in one or more Spectrum SPVs or a holding company of   one or more Spectrum SPVs (any such Subsidiary, a “SPV Holdco”) to   become unsecured, so long as from and after such election the applicable SPV   Holdco does not guarantee (except on a subordinated basis) the Existing   T-Mobile Notes, the Unsecured Bridge Facility or any other Indebtedness,   other than (a) the Secured Bridge Facility, (b) any Initial Secured   Notes or other secured notes, (c) any other Indebtedness that is secured   equal and ratably with the Senior Credit Facilities, the Secured Bridge   Facility and/or the Initial Secured Notes, or (d) any Indebtedness of   subsidiaries of such SPV Holdco.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Unrestricted Subsidiaries:
    	
 
    	
The definitive   documents for the Senior Credit Facilities will contain customary provisions   allowing the Borrower to, subject to no event of default, designate any   restricted subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary or any unrestricted   subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary.    Unrestricted subsidiaries shall not be subject to the representations,   warranties, covenants and events of default and the indebtedness, interest   expense and results of operations of unrestricted subsidiaries will be   excluded from financial calculations; provided that, the net income of   any unrestricted subsidiary may be included in any period to the extent of   any cash dividends actually paid in such period by such unrestricted   subsidiaries to the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries.  The designation of an unrestricted   subsidiary shall be deemed to be an investment in an amount equal to the fair   market value of such subsidiary at the time of such designation and shall be   subject to the restrictions on investments.    The redesignation of an unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted   subsidiary shall be deemed to be a return of investments equal to the fair   market value of the subsidiary at the time of such redesignation and the   incurrence at the time of such redesignation of any indebtedness and liens of   such unrestricted subsidiary existing at such time.

 

On the Closing Date,   the Borrower may designate as unrestricted subsidiaries (1) any   receivables or towers SPV entities and (2) any subsidiaries which are   also designated as unrestricted subsidiaries for purposes of the Borrower’s   existing senior notes, in each case without any reduction of the borrower’s   investment baskets. 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Use of Proceeds:
    	
 
    	
The proceeds of the   Term Loan Facility will be used by the Borrower on the Closing Date, together   with cash on hand and/or drawings on other committed financing, to finance   the Refinancing and the other Transactions, and otherwise for working capital   and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries   (including permitted acquisitions, capital expenditures and permitted   distributions).

 

The proceeds of the   Revolving Credit Loans will be used (i) on the Closing Date, together   with cash on hand and drawings on other committed financing, to finance the   Refinancing and the other Transactions and (ii) on and after the Closing   Date for the working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower   and its subsidiaries (including permitted acquisitions, capital expenditures   and 
    

 

A-7

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
permitted   distributions). It is understood and agreed that Letters of Credit may be   issued on the Closing Date to replace or provide credit support for any   existing letters of credit of Sprint and its subsidiaries (including by   “grandfathering” such existing letters of credit into the Revolving Credit   Facility).
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Maturity:
    	
 
    	
The Revolving Credit   Facility will mature on the five-year anniversary of the Closing Date and,   prior to the final maturity thereof, will not be subject to any scheduled   amortization.

 

The Term Loan Facility   will mature on the seven-year anniversary of the Closing Date and will   amortize at a rate of 1% per annum (payable in four (4) equal quarterly   installments, beginning after the first full quarter ending after the Closing   Date), with the balance payable on the seventh anniversary of the Closing   Date.

 

The definitive   documents for the Senior Credit Facilities shall provide the right for   individual Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and/or the Term Loan   Facility to agree to extend the maturity date of the outstanding commitments   under such Facility upon the request of the Borrower and without the consent   of any other Lender pursuant to customary procedures to be agreed; provided, that no existing Lender will have any obligation   to commit to any such extension; and, provided, further, that the   commitment fees and/or interest rate payable with respect to the extended   portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and/or Term Loan Facility may be   increased as may be agreed with the extending Lenders, with such extension   not subject to any financial test or “most favored nation” pricing provision.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Incremental Facilities:
    	
 
    	
The definitive   documentation with respect to the Senior Credit Facilities will permit the   Borrower to add one or more incremental term loan facilities to the Senior   Credit Facilities (each, an “Incremental Term Facility” and the loans made   under such facility or facilities, the “Incremental Term Loans”)   and/or increase commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility (any such   increase, an “Incremental Revolving Increase”; the Incremental Term   Facilities and the Incremental Revolving Increases are collectively referred   to as “Incremental Facilities”) in an aggregate principal amount for   all such increases and incremental facilities not to exceed the sum of   (a) the greater of (i) $22.0 billion and (ii) 1.00x   Consolidated Cash Flow, (b)(i) the amount of any voluntary repayments of   the Term Loan Facility (and/or any incremental term loan facility)  other than those funded with the proceeds   of long-term indebtedness and (ii) the amount of any permanent reduction   in the commitments in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility (and/or any   incremental revolving credit facility) other than those funded with the   proceeds of long-term indebtedness, and (c) an unlimited amount, so long   as on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of any such   Incremental Facility and the use of the proceeds thereof (and after giving   effect to any acquisition consummated concurrently therewith and all other   appropriate pro forma adjustment events and calculated (x) as if any   Incremental Revolving Increase were fully drawn on the effective date thereof   and (y) excluding any cash constituting proceeds of any Incremental

Facility), with respect   to any Incremental Facilities secured on an equal and ratable basis to the   Senior Credit Facilities, the First Lien Secured Net Leverage   Ratio(4) (to be defined in the definitive documentation for the Senior   Credit Facilities) does not exceed 2.00 to 1.00 (or, with respect to any   Incremental Facilities secured on a junior basis to the Senior Credit   Facilities, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (to be defined in the   definitive documentation for the Senior Credit Facilities) does not exceed   2.50 to 1.00, or with respect to any unsecured Incremental Facilities, the   Total Net Leverage Ratio (to be defined in the definitive documentation for   the Senior Credit Facilities) does not exceed 6.00 to 1.00) (provided   that (I) Incremental Facilities will be deemed to be incurred under the   foregoing clause (c) before clauses (a) and (b) and   (II) to the extent amounts are incurred concurrently under the foregoing   clauses (a), (b) and (c), the applicable ratio may exceed the applicable   ratio level set forth in clause (c) to the extent of such amounts   incurred in reliance on clauses (a) and (b)), provided that:

 

i.         no existing Lender will   be required to participate in any such Incremental Facility without its   consent;

 

ii.        no event of default   under the Senior Credit Facilities would exist after giving effect thereto (provided   that, in the case of Incremental Facilities used to finance a permitted   acquisition and to the extent the lenders participating in such Incremental   Facility agree, this clause (ii) shall be tested at the time of the   execution of the acquisition agreement related to such permitted   acquisition);

 

iii.       all of the   representations and warranties contained in the definitive documentation for   the Senior Credit Facilities shall be true and correct in all material   respects (or, in all respects, if qualified by materiality); provided   that in the case of Incremental Term Facilities used to finance a permitted   acquisition and to the extent the lenders participating in such Incremental   Term Facility agree, this clause (iii) shall be subject only to customary   “specified representations” and “acquisition agreement representations”   (i.e., those representations of the seller or the target (as applicable) in   the applicable acquisition agreement that are material to the interests of   the Lenders and only to the extent that the Company or its applicable   subsidiary has the right to terminate its obligations under the applicable   acquisition agreement as a result of the failure of such representations to   be accurate);

 

iv.       the maturity date of any   such Incremental Term Facility shall be no earlier than the maturity date of   the Term Loan Facility and
    

 

(4)           Indebtedness for purposes of determining the First Lien Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio and Total Net Leverage Ratio shall be limited to indebtedness for borrowed money (including indebtedness of any Spectrum SPV, but excluding indebtedness in respect of tower securitizations, capital leases and purchase money debt, and other exceptions to be agreed), and such ratios shall allow all unrestricted cash and cash equivalent of the Company and its subsidiaries to be netted.

 

A-9

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
the weighted average   life of such Incremental Term Facility shall not be shorter than the then   longest remaining weighted average life of the Term Loan Facility (in each   case, other than with respect to (I) any Incremental Term Facility with   amortization in excess of 1% per year that are marketed principally to   commercial banks (as determined by the Borrower), (II) up to $5 billion   of Incremental Facilities and (III) any “bridge loan” facilities that   automatically convert or exchange into long-term debt otherwise meeting the   requirements of this clause (iv) subject only to customary conditions   and (IV) any Incremental Term Facility incurred to refinance the Secured   Bridge Facility);

 

v.        in the case of an   Incremental Revolving Increase, the maturity date of such Incremental   Revolving Increase shall be the same as the maturity date of the Revolving   Credit Facility, such Incremental Revolving Increase shall require no   scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the final   maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Incremental Revolving   Increase shall be on the same terms and pursuant to the exact same   documentation applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility;

 

vi.       the Incremental   Facilities will not be guaranteed by any subsidiaries of the Parent that do   not guarantee the Senior Credit Facilities and, if secured, will be secured   on an equal and ratable basis or junior basis by the same Collateral (as   defined above) securing the Senior Credit Facilities;

 

vii.      any Incremental Term   Facility shall share not greater than ratably in any mandatory prepayments of   the Term Loan Facility and such Incremental Term Facility;

 

viii.     any Incremental Term   Facility shall otherwise be on terms (including pricing and fees) and   pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrowers and the   Additional Incremental Lenders (as defined below) providing the Incremental   Term Facility; provided that to the extent such terms (other than   pricing and fees) and documentation are not consistent with the applicable   Senior Credit Facility (except to the extent permitted above in clauses   (i)-(vii)), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Senior Administrative   Agent (it being understood that, to the extent that any term is added for the   benefit of any Incremental Term Facility, no consent shall be required from   Lenders under the Term Loan Facility to the extent that such term is   (a) also added for the benefit of the Term Loan Facility or (b) is   only applicable after the maturity of the Term Loan Facility);

 

ix.       the Company shall be in   compliance with the Financial Covenant on a pro forma basis (provided   that, in the case of Incremental Facilities used to finance a Limited   Condition 
    

 

A-10

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
Acquisition (to be   defined in a manner to be agreed) and to the extent the lenders participating   in such Incremental Facility agree, this clause (ix) and compliance with   any representations, warranties, defaults or events of default shall be   tested at the time of the execution of the acquisition agreement related to   such Limited Condition Acquisition).

 

The definitive   documentation with respect to the Senior Credit Facilities will not include   any financial test with respect to the Incremental Facilities (other than as   expressly set forth above).

 

The Borrowers may seek   commitments in respect of the Incremental Facilities from existing Lenders   (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its   sole discretion) and additional banks, financial institutions and other   lenders (other than Disqualified Lenders) who will become Lenders in   connection therewith (“Additional Incremental Lenders”); provided,   further, that solely with respect to any Incremental Revolving   Increase, the Senior Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders shall have   consent rights (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) with   respect to such Additional Incremental Lender, if such consent would be   required for an assignment of Revolving Loans or commitments, as applicable,   to such Additional Incremental Lender.

 

The Senior Credit   Facilities will permit the Borrower to utilize availability under the   Incremental Facilities to issue notes that are (at the option of the   Borrower) unsecured or secured by the Collateral on an equal and ratable or   junior basis (“Incremental Notes”); provided that such notes:

 

i.         do not mature prior to the date that is 91   days after the final stated maturity of, or have a shorter weighted average   life than, loans under the initial Term Loans;

 

ii.        do not require mandatory prepayments to be   made except, in the case of secured Incremental Notes, to the extent required   to be applied pro rata to the Term Facility and any other equal and ratable   secured debt;

 

iii.       to the extent secured, shall not be secured by   any lien on any asset of any Borrower or any Guarantor (as defined below)   that does not also secure the Term Facility, or be guaranteed by any person   other than the Guarantors;

 

iv.       to the extent secured, shall be secured on an   equal and ratable basis to the Senior Secured Credit Facility or a junior   basis to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities; and

 

v.        to the extent secured, shall be subject to   intercreditor terms reasonably agreed between the Borrower and the Senior   Administrative Agent.
    

 

A-11

 

	
Refinancing Facilities:
    	
 
    	
The definitive documentation   with respect to the Senior Credit Facilities will permit the Borrower to   refinance loans under the Term Loan Facility, indebtedness under the Initial   Secured Notes and any other secured notes or other obligations ranking   equally and ratably with the Senior Credit Facilities and any prior   Refinancing Facility or replace commitments under the Revolving Credit   Facility from time to time, in whole or part, with one or more new term   facilities (each, a “Refinancing Term Facility”) or new revolving credit   facilities (each, a “Refinancing Revolving Facility”; the Refinancing   Term Facilities and the Refinancing Revolving Facilities are collectively   referred to as “Refinancing Facilities”), respectively, with the   consent of the Borrower and the institutions providing such Refinancing Term   Facility or Refinancing Revolving Facility or with one or more additional   series of senior unsecured notes or loans or senior secured notes or loans   that will be secured by the Collateral on a equal and ratable basis with the   Credit Facilities or secured notes or loans that are junior in right of   security in the Collateral (any such notes or loans, “Refinancing Notes”);   provided that

 

i.         any Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing   Notes do not mature prior to the maturity date of, or have a shorter weighted   average life than, or, with respect to notes, have mandatory prepayment   provisions (other than related to customary asset sale and change of control   offers) that could result in prepayments of such Refinancing Notes prior to,   the loans under the Term Loan Facility or other obligations being refinanced   or repaid;

 

ii.        any Refinancing Revolving Facility does not   mature (or require commitment reductions or amortization) prior to the   maturity date of the revolving commitments being replaced;

 

iii.       there shall be no borrowers or guarantors in   respect of any Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes that are not the   Borrower or the Guarantors;

 

iv.       with respect to (1) Refinancing Notes or   (2) any Refinancing Term Facility secured by liens on the Collateral   that are junior in priority to the liens on the Collateral securing the   Senior Credit Facilities, such agreements or liens will be subject to a   customary intercreditor agreement;

 

v.        the covenants and events of default applicable   to the Refinancing Facilities or Refinancing Notes shall either be no more   restrictive taken as a whole as determined in good faith by the Borrower than   the terms applicable to the Term Loan Facility or Revolving Credit Facility,   as applicable, or such terms and conditions shall not apply until all then   outstanding Revolving Commitments and Term Loans are no longer outstanding   (unless such more restrictive terms are also added for the benefit of the   existing Senior Credit Facilities); and
    

 

A-12

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
vi.       the aggregate principal amount of any   Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Notes shall not be greater than the   aggregate principal amount (or committed amount) of the Term Loan Facility,   Revolving Credit Facility or other obligations (as applicable) being   refinanced or replaced plus any fees, premiums, original issue discount and   accrued interest associated therewith, and costs and expenses related   thereto, and such Term Loan Facility, Revolving Credit Facility or other   obligations being refinanced or replaced will be permanently reduced,   retired, redeemed or called for redemption substantially simultaneously with   the issuance thereof.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Letters of Credit:
    	
 
    	
A portion of the Revolving   Credit Facility not in excess of an amount to be agreed shall be available   for the issuance of standby letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”)   by each of the Lead Arrangers (or an affiliate thereof) and other Lenders   designated from time to time by the Borrower (with such Lender’s consent),   with such sublimit to be divided among the Lead Arrangers (and their   affiliates) based on the amount of their respective commitments under the   Revolving Credit Facility on the Closing Date (in such capacity, each, an “Issuing   Lender”), which Letters of Credit shall be risk participated to all   Lenders with commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility on a pro rata   basis, to support obligations of the Borrower and its restricted   subsidiaries.  The face amount of any   outstanding Letters of Credit will reduce availability under the Revolving   Credit Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis.    No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date after the earlier of   (i) one year after the date of issuance, unless otherwise agreed by the   Issuing Lender and (ii) five business days prior to the maturity date of   the Revolving Credit Facility; provided that any Letter of Credit may provide   for the automatic renewal thereof for additional periods (which shall in no   event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above, except to   the extent cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements   reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lender). Drawings under any   Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed by the Borrower (whether with the   Borrower’s own funds or with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans) on the   immediately succeeding business day.    To the extent that the Borrower does not so reimburse the Issuing   Lender, the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be irrevocably   and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Issuing Lender on a pro rata   basis based on their respective Revolving Credit Facility commitments.

Prepayment Premium:
    	
 
    	
In the event that,   prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date, the Borrower   (i) makes any repayment, prepayment or repurchase of loans under the   Term Loan Facility in connection with any Repricing Event (as defined below)   or (ii) effects any amendment of the definitive documentation for the   Senior Credit Facilities resulting in a Repricing Event, the Borrower shall   pay to the Administrative Agent on the date of effectiveness of such   Repricing Event, for the ratable account of each of the Lender (x) in   the case of clause (i), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate   principal amount of the loans under the Term Loan Facility so being prepaid,   repaid or purchased and (y) in the case of clause (ii), an amount equal   to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the loans under the Term Loan   Facility that are the subject of such Repricing Event and outstanding   immediately prior to such amendment.

 

“Repricing Event”:    (a) any repayment, prepayment or   repurchase of all or a portion of the loans under the Term Loan Facility with   the proceeds of, or any conversion of loans under the Term Loan Facility   into, any new or replacement debt financing (including new term loans under   the definitive documentation for the Senior Credit Facilities) bearing   interest with an all-in yield (as reasonably determined by the Administrative   Agent in consultation with the Borrower and taking into account interest rate   margin and benchmark floors, recurring fees and all upfront or similar fees   or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (A) the   weighted average life to maturity of such term loans and (B) four   years), but excluding any bona fide arrangement, underwriting, structuring,   syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared   ratably with all lenders or holders of such debt financing in their   capacities as lenders or holders of such debt financing) less than the all-in   yield applicable to the loans under the Term Loan Facility (determined on the   same basis as provided in the preceding parenthetical) and (b) any   amendment (including pursuant to a replacement term loan) to the loans under   the Term Loan Facility or any tranche thereof, in each case of clauses   (a) and (b) above, if the primary purpose of such repayment,   prepayment or repurchase (as reasonably determined by the Administrative   Agent in consultation with the Borrower) is to lower the all-in yield   applicable to the loans under the Term Loan Facility that are repaid, prepaid   or repurchased using the proceeds thereof (as determined on the same basis as   provided in clause (a)). It is understood that “Repricing Events” shall not   include any repayment, prepayment or refinancing of all or a portion of the   Loans under the Term Loan Facility in connection with a “Change of Control”   or a Specified Acquisition (as defined below).

A-14

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
prior to the   consummation of such acquisition or (b) if permitted by the definitive   documentation for the Senior Credit Facilities immediately prior to the   consummation of such acquisition, would not provide Parent and its   subsidiaries with adequate flexibility under the definitive documentation for   the Senior Credit Facilities for the continuation and/or expansion of their   combined operations following such consummation, as determined by the   Borrower acting in good faith.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Mandatory Commitment Reduction and   Prepayment:
    	
 
    	
The following amounts   will be applied to prepay loans under the Term Loan Facility, in each case   consistent with the Credit Agreement Documentation Principles:

 

·      100% of the Net Cash   Proceeds of any incurrence of Indebtedness after the Closing Date (other than   indebtedness permitted under the definitive documents for the Senior Credit   Facilities) by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries;

 

·      100% (stepping down to 75% and 50% at First   Lien Secured Net Leverage Ratios to be agreed) of the net cash proceeds in   excess of an annual threshold to be mutually and reasonably agreed of any   non-ordinary course Asset Sales (as defined in the Existing T-Mobile Notes)   after the Closing Date of assets by the Borrower or any of its restricted   subsidiaries ((subject to exceptions (including reinvestment rights and the   ability to repay pari passu   indebtedness ratably) consistent with the Precedent Senior Credit   Agreement).  Any Lender may elect not   to accept its pro rata portion of any mandatory prepayment (each a “Declining   Lender”).  Any prepayment amount   declined by a Declining Lender (“Declined Amounts”) may be retained by   the Borrower and shall increase the amount available under the restricted   payment “builder basket”; and

 

·      50% (stepping down to 25% and 0% at First Lien   Secured Net Leverage Ratios 0.25x and 0.50x less than the closing date First   Lien Secured Net Leverage Ratio, respectively) of Excess Cash Flow (to be   defined in a manner to be agreed consistent with the Credit Agreement   Documentation Principles, but in any event to be net the amount of funds   expended during the applicable year in respect of permitted restricted payments,   capital expenditures, acquisitions and other permitted investments and   repayments and prepayments of indebtedness, in each case, to the extent not   funded with the proceeds of long-term indebtedness); and without duplication   of the foregoing, such repayments will be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the   amount of any voluntary repayments of the Term Loan Facilities or the   Revolving Credit Facility, to the extent such prepayments of the Revolving   Credit Facility are accompanied by a permanent commitment reduction, and to   any other debt (that is secured on a equal and ratable   basis with the Secured Facilities) for each fiscal year of the Borrower,   commencing with full fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.

Notwithstanding the   foregoing, the Term Loan Facility shall not be required to be repaid with the   proceeds of Asset Sales pursuant to the second bullet point above to the   extent the Borrower optionally reduces the commitments in respect of the   Secured Bridge Facility (or, if such facilities have been funded, to repay   any of the loans thereunder) by the amount of such mandatory reduction of the   Term Loan Facility otherwise required hereby.

(a)      in the case of Eurodollar loans, Adjusted LIBOR   plus the Applicable Margin per annum, and

 

(b)      in the case of ABR loans, the ABR plus the   Applicable Margin per annum.

 

As used herein:

 

“Adjusted   LIBOR” means the London Interbank Offered Rate (adjusted for statutory   reserve requirements); provided that Adjusted LIBOR shall in all cases   not be less than 0%. The definitive documentation for the Senior Credit   Facilities shall include successor LIBOR provisions reasonably acceptable to   the Senior Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

 

“ABR” means the   highest of (a) the Senior Administrative Agent’s Prime Rate,   (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1⁄2 of 1% and (c) the   Adjusted LIBOR for a one month interest period on any day plus 1%.

 

“Applicable Margin”   means (x) with respect to the Term Loan Facility, Adjusted LIBOR plus   1.75% or ABR plus 0.75% and (y) with respect to the Revolving Credit   Facility, Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.25% or ABR plus 0.25%.

 

From and after the date   of delivery of the Borrower’s financial statements for the first full fiscal   quarter ended after the Closing Date, (i) interest rate margins under   the Term Loan Facility will be subject to one 25 bps reduction based upon a   First Lien Secured Net Leverage Ratio level to be agreed (the “Term Loan Pricing Step-Down”) and   (ii) interest rate margins under the Revolving Credit Facility will be   subject to an agreed amount of 25 bps reductions based upon First Lien   Secured Net Leverage Ratio levels to be agreed.

 

“Prime Rate”   means the rate of interest per annum from time to time published in the   “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street   Journal as being the “Prime Lending Rate” or, if more than one   rate is published as the Prime Lending Rate, then the highest of such rates   (each 
    

 

A-I-1

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
change in the Prime   Rate to be effective as of the date of publication in The Wall Street Journal of a “Prime   Lending Rate” that is different from that published on the preceding domestic   business day); provided, that in the event that The Wall Street Journal shall, for any   reason, fail or cease to publish the Prime Lending Rate, the Senior   Administrative Agent shall choose a reasonably comparable index or source to   use as the basis for the Prime Lending Rate.

 

From and after the   Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay a commitment fee calculated on the   average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility at the rate per   annum of 0.375%, with one 12.5bps step-up and one 12.5bps step-down at First   Lien Secured Net Leverage levels to be agreed.

 

The Borrower shall pay   a commission on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal   to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Revolving Credit   Loans made or maintained as Eurodollar loans on the face amount of each such   Letter of Credit.  Such commission   shall be shared ratably among the Lenders participating in the Revolving Credit   Facility and shall be payable quarterly in arrears.

 

In   addition to letter of credit commissions, a fronting fee calculated at a rate   per annum to be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Issuing Lender on the   face amount of each Letter of Credit shall be payable quarterly in arrears to   the Issuing Lender for its own account.    In addition, customary (as determined by the Issuing Lender)   administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges shall be   payable to the Issuing Lender for its own account.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Eurodollar Interest   Periods:
    	
 
    	
At the Borrower’s   option, 1, 2, 3 or 6 months (or, if agreed by all relevant Lenders, 12   months).  Interest on Eurodollar loans   will be payable on the last day of each interest period and upon repayment or   prepayment.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Interest Rate Basis:
    	
 
    	
Interest   on Eurodollar loans will be payable in arrears on the basis of a 360-day year   (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed).  Interest on ABR loans will be payable   quarterly in arrears on the basis of a 365/366-day year when ABR is based on   the Senior Administrative Agent’s Prime Rate and otherwise on a 360-day year   (in each case calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed).
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Default Rate:
    	
 
    	
With respect to overdue   principal, the applicable interest rate plus 2.00% per annum and, with   respect to any other overdue amount, the interest rate applicable to ABR   loans under the Senior Credit Facilities plus 2.00% per annum.

Interest Rates:
    	
Interest   will be payable on loans under the Secured Bridge Facility at the following   rates per annum:

 

(a)                 in the case of Eurodollar loans,   Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum, and

 

(b)                 in the case of ABR loans, the ABR   plus 0.25% per annum.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
The interest   margins shall increase by an additional 25 basis points at the beginning of   each three-month period subsequent to the initial three-month period for so   long as the loans under the Secured Bridge Facility are outstanding.

 

As used herein:

 

“Adjusted   LIBOR” means the London Interbank Offered Rate (adjusted for statutory   reserve requirements); provided that Adjusted LIBOR shall in all cases   not be less than 0%. The definitive documentation for the Secured Bridge   Facility shall include successor LIBOR provisions reasonably acceptable to   the Secured Bridge Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

 

“ABR” means the   highest of (a) the Secured Bridge Administrative Agent’s Prime Rate,   (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1⁄2 of 1% and (c) the   Adjusted LIBOR for a one month interest period on any day plus 1%.

 

“Prime Rate”   means the rate of interest per annum from time to time published in the   “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street   Journal as being the “Prime Lending Rate” or, if more than one   rate is published as the Prime Lending Rate, then the highest of such rates   (each change in the Prime Rate to be effective as of the date of publication   in The Wall Street Journal of a   “Prime Lending Rate” that is different from that published on the preceding   domestic business day); provided, that in the event that The Wall Street Journal shall, for any   reason, fail or cease to publish the Prime Lending Rate, the Secured Bridge   Administrative Agent shall choose a reasonably comparable index or source to   use as the basis for the Prime Lending Rate.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
Eurodollar Interest   Periods:
    	
At the Borrower’s   option, 1, 2, 3 or 6 months (or, if agreed by all relevant Lenders, 12   months).  Interest on Eurodollar loans   will be payable on the last day of each interest period and upon repayment or   prepayment.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
Interest Rate Basis:
    	
Interest   on Eurodollar loans will be payable in arrears on the basis of a 360-day year   (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed).  Interest on ABR loans will be payable   quarterly in arrears on the basis of a 365/366-day year when ABR is based on the   Secured Bridge Administrative Agent’s Prime Rate and otherwise on a 360-day   year (in each case calculated on the basis of the actual

 number of days elapsed).
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
Default Rate:
    	
With respect to overdue   principal, the applicable interest rate plus 2.00% per annum and, with   respect to any other overdue amount, the interest rate applicable to ABR   loans under the Secured Bridge Facility plus 2.00% per annum.

Interest will be payable on loans under the 8 Year   Unsecured Bridge Facility at the following rates per annum:

   (a)         in the   case of Eurodollar loans, Adjusted LIBOR plus 3.50% per annum, and

   (b)         in the   case of ABR loans, the ABR plus 2.50% per annum.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The interest margins shall increase by an additional   50 basis points at the beginning of each three-month period subsequent to the   initial three-month period for so long as the loans under the 8 Year Secured   Bridge Facility are outstanding up to the 8 Year Unsecured Total Cap.
   Interest will be payable on loans under the 10 Year Unsecured Bridge Facility   at the following rates per annum:

   (a)         in the   case of Eurodollar loans, Adjusted LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum, and

   (b)         in the   case of ABR loans, the ABR plus 2.75% per annum.

   The interest margins shall increase by an additional 50 basis points at the   beginning of each three-month period subsequent to the initial three-month   period for so long as the loans under the 10 Year Secured Bridge Facility are   outstanding up to the 10 Year Unsecured Total Cap.

   As used herein:

   “Adjusted LIBOR” means the London Interbank Offered Rate (adjusted for   statutory reserve requirements); provided that Adjusted LIBOR shall in   all cases not be less than 0%. The definitive documentation for the Unsecured   Bridge Facility shall include successor LIBOR provisions reasonably   acceptable to the Unsecured Bridge Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

   “ABR” means the highest of (a) the Bridge Administrative Agent’s   Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1⁄2 of 1% and   (c) the Adjusted LIBOR for a one month interest period on any day plus   1%.

   “Prime Rate” means the rate of interest per annum from time to time   published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal   as being the “Prime Lending Rate” or, if more than one rate is published as   the Prime Lending Rate, then the highest of such rates (each change in the   Prime Rate to be effective as of the date of publication in The Wall Street Journal of a “Prime Lending Rate” that is   different from that published on the preceding domestic business day); 
    

 

C-III-1

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
provided, that in the event that The Wall Street Journal shall, for any reason, fail or   cease to publish the Prime Lending Rate, the Bridge Administrative Agent   shall choose a reasonably comparable index or source to use as the basis for   the Prime Lending Rate.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Eurodollar Interest Periods:
    	
 
    	
At the Borrower’s option, 1, 2, 3 or 6 months   (or, if agreed by all relevant Lenders, 12 months). Interest on Eurodollar   loans will be payable on the last day of each interest period and upon   repayment or prepayment.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Interest Rate Basis:
    	
 
    	
Interest on Eurodollar loans will be payable in   arrears on the basis of a 360-day year (calculated on the basis of the actual   number of days elapsed). Interest on ABR loans will be payable quarterly in   arrears on the basis of a 365/366-day year when ABR is based on the Bridge   Administrative Agent’s Prime Rate and otherwise on a 360-day year (in each   case calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed).
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Default Rate:
    	
 
    	
With respect to overdue principal, the applicable   interest rate plus 2.00% per annum and, with respect to any other overdue   amount, the interest rate applicable to ABR loans under the Bridge Facility   plus 2.00% per annum.

The Lead Arrangers shall have received at least 3 business days prior to the Closing Date, all documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities with respect to the Borrower and the Guarantors under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act, as reasonably requested by the Lead Arrangers in writing at least 10 business days prior to the Closing Date.

FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

 

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the undersigned hereby certifies, solely in such undersigned’s capacity as [chief financial officer] of [the Borrower] (the “Borrower”), and not individually, and without any personal liability, as follows:

 

As of the date hereof, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transaction, including the making of the Loans under the Credit Agreement on the date hereof, and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loans, he is of the opinion that:

 

a.                                      The fair value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, exceeds, on a consolidated basis, their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise;

 

b.                                      The present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability, on a consolidated basis, of their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured;

 

c.                                       The Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such liabilities become absolute and matured; and

 

d.                                      The Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are not engaged in, and are not about to engage in, business for which they have unreasonably small capital.

 

For purposes of this certificate, the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that would reasonably be expected to become an actual and matured liability. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

 

The undersigned is familiar with the business and financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. In reaching the conclusions set forth in this Certificate, the undersigned has made such other investigations and inquiries as the undersigned has deemed appropriate, having taken into account the nature of the particular business anticipated to be conducted by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries after consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Commitment Letter.

ARTICLE IX

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 9.1                                    Injunctive Relief.

 

Each party hereto acknowledges that it would be impossible to determine the amount of damages that would result from any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement and that the remedy at law for any breach, or threatened breach, of any of such provisions would likely be inadequate and, accordingly, agrees that the other party shall, in addition to any other rights or remedies which it may have, be entitled to such equitable and injunctive relief as may be available from any court of competent jurisdiction to compel specific performance of, or restrain any party from violating, any of such provisions.  In connection with any action or proceeding for injunctive relief, each party hereto hereby waives the claim or defense that a remedy at law alone is adequate and agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, to have each provision of this Agreement specifically enforced against it, without the necessity of posting bond or other security against it, and consents to the entry of injunctive relief against it enjoining or restraining any breach or threatened breach of such provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 9.2                                    Assignment.

 

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, legal representatives and permitted assigns.  Neither party may directly or indirectly assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party other than, for the avoidance of doubt, to any successor to DT in connection with a change in control of DT.  Any purported direct or indirect assignment in violation of this Section 9.2 shall be null and void ab initio.

 

Section 9.3                                    Amendments; Waiver.

 

No amendment, modification or discharge of this Agreement, and no waiver hereunder, and no extension of time for the performance of any of the obligations hereunder, shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by (a) the Company where enforcement of the amendment, modification, discharge, waiver or extension is sought against the Company or (b) DT where enforcement of the amendment, modification, discharge, waiver or extension is sought against DT.  Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time.  The waiver by the Company or DT of a

 

8

 

breach of, or a default under, any of the provisions hereof, or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall not be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and none is exclusive of any other, or of any rights or remedies that any party may otherwise have at law or in equity.

 

Section 9.4                                    Termination.

 

This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms and without the consummation of the Merger or (b) the repayment in full of the DT Debt; provided, however, that the provisions of this Article 9.4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any willful and material breach of this Agreement occurring prior to any termination hereof or to impair the right of a party to compel specific performance by the other party of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

Section 9.5                                    Notices.
