(c)During the Employment Term, and provided that such activities do not contravene the provisions of Sections 3(a), 10, 11, 12, or 13 and provided further, that the Executive does not engage in any other substantial business activity for gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage which materially interferes with the performance of his duties hereunder, the Executive may (i) participate in any governmental, educational, charitable or other community affairs, (ii) subject to the prior approval of the Chief Executive Officer, serve as a member of the governing board of any such organization or any private or public for-profit entity, (iii) manage his personal investments and affairs, and (iv) engage in any other activity that has been approved by the Chief Executive Officer.

(a)Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay to the Executive an annual base salary of $1,500,000 (the “Base Salary”), which Base Salary shall be payable at the times and in the manner consistent with the Company’s general policies regarding payment of salary to the Company’s senior executives but no less frequently then monthly. After March 31, 2019, the Base Salary will be reviewed at least annually by the Compensation Committee and may be increased (but not decreased, except for across-the-board reductions generally applicable to the Company’s senior executives) from time to time in the Compensation Committee’s sole discretion; provided, however, that any decrease in Base Salary shall be

disregarded for purposes of determining the Executive’s benefits (if any) under Sections 5(b), 9(b)(ii), 9(b)(iii) and 9(b)(iv), and any corresponding benefits under Section 9(c) or the CIC Severance Plan.

(b)Incentive Compensation. The Executive will be eligible to participate in any short-term and long-term incentive compensation plans and such other management incentive programs or arrangements of the Company approved by the Board that are generally available to the Company’s senior executives, including, but not limited to, the STIP and the LTIP. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, incentive compensation shall be paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plans, programs and arrangements and the documents evidencing the grant of awards thereunder. Such participation shall include the following.

(i)Annual Performance Bonus. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in the STIP, with such opportunities as may be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion (each such annual opportunity, a “Target Bonus”); provided, however, that for the Company’s bonus performance period that commenced on April 1, 2017, and will end on March 31, 2018 (“FY 2017”), the Executive will participate on a prorated basis for the period in which he is employed by the Company during FY 2017. For FY 2017 the Executive shall be entitled to receive the pro-rated amount at a target of 200% of his Base Salary, which shall provide a payout, based on the greater of actual performance or target; and, provided, further, that beginning with the Company’s 2018 fiscal year (that will commence on April 1, 2018) and for each fiscal year thereafter that commences during the Employment Term, the Executive will participate at an annual Target Bonus opportunity of 200% of his Base Salary (which percentage may be increased, but not decreased, except for across-the-board reductions generally applicable to the Company’s senior executives); provided, however, that any decrease in such percentage shall be disregarded for purposes of determining severance benefits under Sections 9(b)(iii) and 9(b)(iv) and any corresponding benefits under Section 9(c) or the CIC Severance Plan. Each bonus payable pursuant to this Section 4(b)(i) shall be paid in a cash lump sum no later than the date that other senior executives of the Company receive their corresponding STIP bonus payments and shall be referred to herein as a “Bonus Award”.

(ii)Long-Term Performance Bonus. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in the LTIP with such opportunities as may be determined (consistent with this Section 4(b)(ii)) by the Compensation Committee (the target opportunities referred to herein as the “LTIP Target Award Opportunities”);. The Executive shall be granted, effective as of [MM/DD/201__] (the “Grant Date”), an initial LTIP Target Award Opportunity with a total aggregate value of $2.5 million on the Grant Date (the “Initial LTIP Target Award”), with 20% of such value granted as a nonqualified stock option award, 30% of such value granted as a time-vesting restricted stock unit award and 50% of such value granted as a performance-vesting restricted stock unit

award, pursuant to Evidences of Award in substantially the forms attached hereto as Exhibits A, B and C, respectively. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to each such award shall be determined based on the grant methodologies and practices used for other senior executives 2017. For purposes of clarity, the portion of the Initial LTIP Target Award granted in the form of performance-based restricted stock units shall be subject to the performance periods established by the Compensation Committee for the 2017 LTIP for the Company’s senior executives. The Executive’s LTIP Target Award Opportunity for 2018 and each year thereafter that commences during the Employment Term shall be not less than $5 million (determined based on the Company’s then-current methodologies for valuing awards) as of the Date of Grant. The LTIP Target Award Opportunities shall be granted in the form of equity and/or cash-based awards based on the Company’s practices under the applicable LTIP for its senior executives.

(iii)Incentive bonuses, if earned, shall be paid no later than the date that corresponding bonuses are paid to the Company’s senior executives.

(iv)Pursuant to the Company’s applicable incentive or bonus plans as in effect from time to time, the Executive’s incentive compensation during the Employment Term may (except as otherwise provided in Section 4(b)(i) with respect to the performance period ending March 31, 2015) be determined according to criteria intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

(v)Special Turnaround Incentive Award. On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Company shall grant a Turnaround Incentive Award in the form of a restricted stock unit covering 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Turnaround Incentive Award”), with vesting of earned shares occurring May 31, 2022. The Turnaround Incentive Award shall be subject to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan and shall be governed by an Evidence of Award substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D attached hereto

(c)Other Equity Compensation. During the Employment Term, in addition to the LTIP, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in such other equity incentive compensation plans and programs as the Company generally provides to its senior executives under such plans and programs. During the Employment Term, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant equity awards to the Executive, which would be subject to the terms of the award agreements evidencing such grants and the applicable plan or program, to the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

5.Benefits.

(a)During the Employment Term, the Company shall make available to the Executive, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plans, participation for the

Executive and his eligible dependents in: (i) Company-sponsored group health, major medical, dental, vision, life insurance, pension and profit sharing, 401(k) and employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements (the “Employee Plans”) and such other usual and customary benefits in which senior executives of the Company participate from time to time, and (ii) such fringe benefits and perquisites as may be made available to senior executives of the Company as a group, in each case on no less favorable terms and conditions than those applying to other senior executives of the Company generally. Both during and after the Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to indemnification (and advancement of expenses) on terms and conditions no less favorable than those made available generally to the senior officers as such indemnification arrangements shall be in effect from time to time, provided that the applicable terms and conditions shall be no less favorable to the Executive than those applying as of the Effective Date. During his employment with the Company and for not less than six (6) years thereafter, the Executive shall be entitled to coverage under any director’s and officer’s liability insurance policy maintained by or for officers or directors of the Company, in each case on no less favorable a basis than that applying to other officers or directors of the Company.

(b)Without limiting the generality of Section 5(a), in the event the Executive becomes Disabled during the Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to periodic payments in an aggregate amount equal to his Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the date that he is Disabled, which payments shall be paid to the Executive in equal installments on the regular payroll dates under the Company’s payroll practices applicable to its senior executives (but no less frequently than monthly), until the first anniversary of the date he was Disabled, but reduced by any long-term disability benefits paid under the Company’s LTD Plan during such one-year period provided that payments under the LTD are made at the same time as the installments contemplated herein. Each payment payable pursuant to this Section 5(b) is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury regulation section 1.409A-2(b)(2).

In connection with commencing employment under this Agreement, the Executive will establish a residence in or around Overland Park, Kansas. If the Company relocates its corporate headquarters, and thus the Executive’s principal place of work, more than 50 miles from his principal place of work immediately prior to such relocation, the Executive shall, subject to any right to terminate his employment for Good Reason, establish a residence within the greater of (a) 50 miles of such relocated corporate headquarters or (b) the total number of miles the Executive commuted to his principal place of work prior to such relocation. To the extent the Executive establishes new residences as provided in this Section 8, the Company will pay or reimburse the Executive’s relocation expenses in accordance with the Company’s relocation policy that is then applicable to its most senior executives, and in addition the Company will provide as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, a $600,000 relocation bonus; provided that if the Executive resigns other than for Good Reason or is terminated by the Company for Cause within 24 months of the Effective Date, the Executive must repay the relocation bonus to the Company.

(f)Further the Executive acknowledges that his obligation of confidentiality will survive, regardless of any other breach of this Agreement or any other agreement, by any party hereto, until and unless such Proprietary Information of the Company Group has become, through no fault of the Executive, generally known to the public. In the event that the Executive is required by law, regulation, or court order to disclose any Proprietary Information, the Executive will promptly notify the Company prior to making any such disclosure to facilitate the Company seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy from the proper authority. The Executive further agrees to cooperate with the Company in seeking such order or other remedy and that, if the Company is not successful in precluding the requesting legal body from requiring the disclosure of the Proprietary Information, the Executive will furnish only that portion of the Proprietary Information that he reasonably believes is legally required to be disclosed, and the Executive will exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to the Proprietary Information; provided that, in each case, the Company agrees to promptly pay any expenses reasonably incurred by the Executive in complying with these obligations following receipt of appropriate documentation from the Executive substantiating such expenses.

(g)The Executive’s obligations under this Section 10 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, all other obligations of confidentiality under the Company’s policies, general legal or equitable principles or statutes. However, nothing in this Agreement or elsewhere shall prohibit the Executive from making truthful statements, or disclosing Proprietary Information in good faith (i) to appropriate members of the Company Group, or to any authorized (or apparently authorized) agent or representatives of any of them, (ii) in connection with the good faith performance of his duties for the Company, (iii) when required to do so by a court, government agency, legislative body, arbitrator or another person with apparent jurisdiction to require such disclosure, (iv) as reasonably necessary in the course of any proceeding under Section 16 or 21,

or (v) in confidence to an attorney or other professional for the purpose of securing professional assistance or advice.

(h)During and after the Employment Term:

(i)the Executive agrees to refrain from making any statements about the Company or its officers or directors that would disparage, or reflect unfavorably upon the image or reputation of the Company or any such officer or director;

(ii)the Company shall refrain from making any statements about the Executive that would disparage, or reflect unfavorably upon the image or reputation of the Executive; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from complying with its policies regarding public statements with respect to the Executive, or otherwise complying with applicable law, and any such statements shall be deemed to be made by the Company only if made or authorized by a member of the Board or a senior executive officer of the Company; and

(iii)nothing in this Agreement or elsewhere shall prohibit honest and good faith reporting by the Executive to appropriate Company or legal enforcement authorities or otherwise complying with applicable law.

11.Non-Competition. In consideration of the Company entering into this Agreement, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the expiration of the Restricted Period:

(a)The Executive covenants and agrees that the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, engage in any activities on behalf of or have an interest in any Competitor of the Company Group, whether as an owner, investor, executive, manager, employee, independent consultant, contractor, advisor, or otherwise. The Executive’s ownership of less than one percent (1%) of any class of stock in a publicly-traded entity shall not be a breach of this Section 11(a).

(b)“Competitor” means, at the time of the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, joint venture, trust, joint stock company, joint venture, or unincorporated organization (a “Person”) or any of such Person’s Divisions doing business in the United States including any territory of the United States (collectively, the “Territory”) or any of such Person’s Divisions employing the Executive doing business in the Territory if such Person or its Division: (i) receives at least 15% of its gross operating revenues from providing wireless communications services of any type (for example, voice, data, including Internet, and video), (ii) is operating for less than 5 years a wireless line of business from which the Company Group derives, and the Company Group has specifically disclosed to the Executive that it derives, or that the Executive knows or should reasonably know based on his position, duties or responsibilities with the Company that it derives, at least 3% of gross operating revenues, notwithstanding such Person’s or Division’s lack of substantial revenues in such line of business,

or (iii) is engaged in any activity or has an interest in any activity in which Proprietary Information to which the Executive had access at any time during the two-year period before his termination of employment that could be of substantial harm to the Company Group. For this purpose, “Division” means any distinct group, subsidiary, or unit organized as a segment or portion of a Person that is devoted to the production, provision, or management of a common product or service or group of related products or services, regardless of whether the group is organized as a legally distinct entity.

For purposes of the foregoing, gross operating revenues of the Company Group and such other Person shall be those of the Company Group or such Person, together with their Company Group, but those of any Division employing or proposing to employ the Executive shall be on a stand-alone basis, all measured by the most recent available financial information of both the Company Group and such other Person or Division at the time the Executive accepts, or proposes to accept, employment with or to otherwise perform services for such Person or Division. If financial information concerning any potential Competitor is not publicly available or is inadequate for purposes of applying this definition, the ultimate burden shall be on the Executive to present information that such Person or Division is not a Competitor.

(c)The Executive acknowledges and agrees that, for purposes of this Section 11, due to the continually evolving nature of the Company Group’s industry, the scope of its business and/or the identities of Competitors may change over time and that breach of this Agreement by accepting employment with a Competitor would irreparably injure the Company Group. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the Company Group currently markets its products and services on a nationwide basis, encompassing the Territory, and may expand such Territory to include any international and foreign markets, in which case the Parties acknowledge that the terms and provisions of this Section 11 shall apply to such expanded markets.

(d)The Executive covenants and agrees that should a court at any time determine that any restriction or limitation in this Section 11 is unreasonable or unenforceable, it will be deemed amended so as to provide the maximum protection to the Company Group and be deemed reasonable and enforceable by the court.

12.Non-Solicitation. In consideration of the Company entering into this Agreement, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the expiration of the Restricted Period, the Executive hereby covenants and agrees that he shall not individually or in cooperation with any other person or entity do any of the following:

(a)solicit, aid, induce or persuade, directly or indirectly, any person who is an employee, representative, or agent of any member of the Company Group to leave his or her employment with any member of the Company Group to accept employment with any other person or entity;

(b)induce any person who is an employee, officer or agent of the Company Group to terminate such relationship;

(c)solicit any customer of the Company Group, or any person or entity whose business the Company Group had solicited during the 180-day period prior to termination of the Executive’s employment, for purposes of engaging in any business which is competitive with the Company Group within the Territory; or

(d)solicit, aid, induce, persuade or attempt to solicit, aid, induce or persuade any person or entity to take any action that would result in a Change in Control of the Company or to seek to control the Board in a material manner without prior written consent of the Board.

(e)For purposes of this Section 12 the term “solicit or persuade” includes, but is not limited to, (i) initiating communications with an employee of the Company Group relating to possible employment, (ii) offering bonuses or additional compensation to encourage an employee of the Company Group to terminate his or her employment, and (iii) initiating communications with any person or entity relating to a possible Change in Control.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither any action taken by the Executive in the course of carrying out his duties under this Agreement nor the Executive’s response to an unsolicited request for an employment reference regarding any former employee of the Company Group shall be a violation of this Section 12.

13.Developments.

(a)The Executive acknowledges and agrees that he will, upon request by the Company, make full and prompt disclosure to the Company of all inventions, improvements, discoveries, methods, developments, software, mask works, and works of authorship, whether patentable or copyrightable or not, (i) which relate to the Company’s business and have heretofore been created, made, conceived or reduced to practice by the Executive or under his direction or jointly with others, and not assigned to prior employers, or (ii) which have utility in or relate to the Company’s business, and which are created, made, conceived or reduced to practice by the Executive or under his direction or jointly with others during his employment with the Company, whether or not during normal working hours or on the premises of the Company (all of the foregoing of which are collectively referred to in this Agreement as “Developments”).

(b)The Executive further agrees to assign and does hereby assign to the Company (or any person or entity designated by the Company) all of the Executive’s rights, title and interest worldwide in and to all Developments and all related patents, patent applications, copyrights and copyright applications, and any other applications for registration of a proprietary right. This Section 13(b) shall not apply to Developments that the Executive developed entirely on his own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or Proprietary Information and that does not, at the time of conception or reduction to practice, have utility in or relate to the Company’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development. The Executive understands that, to the extent this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of any Territory which precludes a requirement in an employee agreement to assign certain classes of inventions made by an employee, this Section 13(b) shall be interpreted

not to apply to any invention which a court or arbitrator rules, or the Company agrees, falls within such classes.

(c)The Executive further agrees to cooperate with the Company, both during and after the Employment Term and upon the Company’s reasonable request and at the Company’s sole expense, with respect to the procurement, maintenance and enforcement of copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights (both in the United States and other countries) relating to Developments. The Executive shall not be required to incur or pay any costs or expenses in connection with the rendering of such cooperation. Upon reasonable request by the Company, the Executive will sign all papers, including, without limitation, copyright applications, patent applications, declarations, oaths, formal assignments, assignments of priority rights, and powers of attorney, and do all other things reasonably requested by the Company (at its sole expense) to protect the Company’s rights and interests in any Development.

(d)The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that if the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure the Executive’s signature on any such papers as reasonably requested, any executive officer of the Company shall be entitled to execute any such papers as the Executive’s agent and attorney-in-fact, and the Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each executive officer of the Company as his agent and attorney-in-fact for the sole purpose of executing any such papers on the Executive’s behalf under such circumstances and taking any and all actions reasonably requested by the Company (at the Company’s sole expense) in order to protect its rights and interests in any Development, under the conditions described in this sentence.

14.Remedies. The Executive and the Company agree that the covenants contained in Sections 10, 11, 12, and 13 are reasonable under the circumstances, and further agree that if in the opinion of any court of competent jurisdiction any such covenant is not reasonable in any respect, such court will have the right, power and authority to sever or modify any provision or provisions of such covenants as to the court will appear not reasonable and to enforce the remainder of the covenants as so amended. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law available to the Company for breach of any of the Executive’s obligations under Sections 10, 11, 12, and 13 would be inadequate and that damages flowing from such a breach may not readily be susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, the Executive acknowledges, consents and agrees that, in addition to any other rights or remedies that the Company may have at law, in equity or under this Agreement, upon adequate proof of the Executive’s violation of any such provision of this Agreement, the Company will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief and may obtain a temporary order restraining any threatened or further breach, without the necessity of proof of actual damage. Without limiting the applicability of this Section 14 or in any way affecting the right of the Company to seek equitable remedies hereunder, in the event that the Executive materially and willfully breaches any of the provisions of Sections 10, 11, or 12 or engages in any activity that would constitute a material and willful breach save for the Executive’s action being in a state where any of the provisions of Sections 10, 11, 12, or this Section 14 is not enforceable as a matter of law, and, if such breach or activity is susceptible to cure and such breach or activity is not cured by the Executive within 7 days after the Company delivers a notice to the Executive describing the breach or activity in reasonable detail and requesting cure, then the Company’s obligation to pay

any remaining severance compensation and benefits that have not already been paid to the Executive pursuant to Sections 9(a), 9(b), 9(c) or 9(e) (for the avoidance of doubt, after application of Section 9(g), if applicable) shall terminate.

15.Continued Availability and Cooperation.

(a)Following termination of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement, the Executive agrees that, consistent with the Executive’s business and personal affairs and his fiduciary duties both to the Company and to any new employer, he will (upon reasonable request by the Company) cooperate with the Company and with the Company’s counsel in connection with any present and future actual or threatened litigation, administrative proceeding or investigation involving the Company that relates to events, occurrences or conduct occurring (or claimed to have occurred) during the period of the Executive’s employment by the Company (other than any litigation, administrative proceeding or investigation in which the Executive and the Company are opposing parties); provided, however, nothing in this Section 15(a) shall require the Executive to cooperate in such a way that would jeopardize his legal interests. Cooperation may include, but is not limited to:

(i)making himself reasonably available for interviews and discussions with the Company’s counsel as well as for depositions and trial testimony;

(ii)if depositions or trial testimony are to occur, making himself reasonably available and cooperating in the preparation therefore, as and to the extent that the Company or the Company’s counsel reasonably requests;

(iii)refraining from impeding in any way the Company’s prosecution or defense of such litigation or administrative proceeding; and

(iv)cooperating in the development and presentation of the Company’s prosecution or defense of such litigation or administrative proceeding.

(b)The Company will promptly pay directly, or promptly reimburse the Executive for, any expense reasonably incurred by him in connection with rendering cooperation under Section 15(a), including (without limitation) attorneys’ fees and other charges of counsel (if the Executive reasonably determines that he should retain independent legal counsel), incurred in connection with any cooperation, consultation and advice rendered under this Agreement following receipt of appropriate documentation from the Executive substantiating such expenses.

16.Dispute Resolution.

(a)In the event that the Parties are unable to resolve any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with the Company, or any termination of such employment, either Party to the dispute shall refer the dispute to binding arbitration, which shall (except as otherwise provided in Section 16(d)) be the exclusive forum for resolving all such controversies and claims. Such arbitration will be administered by Judicial

Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”). The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator selected by the Parties according to the JAMS Rules. In the event that the Parties fail to agree on the selection of the arbitrator within 30 days after either Party’s request for arbitration, the arbitrator will be chosen by JAMS. Unless the Parties otherwise agree, any arbitration hearings shall commence on a mutually agreeable date within 90 days after the request for arbitration and shall be conducted within thirty (30) miles of the location of the Executive’s then current principal place of work for the Company, or if he is no longer working with the Company, within thirty (30) miles of his most recent principal place of work for the Company.

(b)The Parties agree that each will bear their own costs and attorneys’ fees. The arbitrator shall not have authority to award attorneys’ fees or costs to any Party.

(c)The arbitrator shall have no power or authority to make awards or orders granting relief that would not be available to a Party in a court of law. The arbitrator’s award is limited by and must comply with this Agreement and controlling federal, state, and local laws. The decision of the arbitrator shall otherwise be final and binding on the Parties, except as otherwise provided by law.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, no claim for injunctive or similar non-monetary equitable relief contemplated by or allowed under applicable law with respect to alleged violations of Sections 10, 11, 12, and 13 of this Agreement will be subject to arbitration under this Section 16, but will instead be subject to determination in a court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 21, which court shall apply Delaware law consistent with Section 21 of this Agreement.

17.Other Agreements. No agreements (other than the agreements evidencing grants of equity awards and those expressly referred to in this Agreement, and other Company Arrangements arising out of or relating to the Executive’s service as a member of the Company’s Board) (collectively, “Other Arrangements”)) or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either Party which are not set forth in this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises, or other agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any Party, or anyone acting on behalf of such Party, pertaining to the subject matter hereof, which are not embodied in this Agreement (or in any Other Arrangement), and that no prior and/or contemporaneous agreement, statement or promise pertaining to the subject matter hereof that is not contained in this Agreement (or in any Other Arrangement) shall be valid or binding on either Party.

18.Withholding of Taxes. The Company will withhold from any amounts payable by it under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes that the Company is required to withhold pursuant to any applicable statute or government regulation or ruling.

19.Successors and Binding Agreement.

(a)The Company may assign its rights under the Agreement only to any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or

otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company that expressly agrees to assume and perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would have been required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any such successor to the Company, (and such successor shall thereafter be deemed to be included in the term the “Company” for the purposes of this Agreement, except to the extent that the result would be to expand the restrictions applying to the Executive under Section 11), but will not otherwise be assignable, transferable or delegable by the Company.

(b)This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees and legatees.

(c)This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in Sections 19(a) and 19(b). Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, the Executive’s right to receive payments and benefits hereunder will (except as otherwise expressly provided in any other applicable Company Arrangement) not be assignable, transferable or delegable, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest, or otherwise, other than by a transfer by the Executive’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, in the event of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this Section 19(c), the Company shall have no liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned, transferred or delegated.

20.Notices. All communications, including without limitation notices, consents, requests or approvals, required or permitted to be given hereunder will be in writing and will be duly given when hand delivered or dispatched by electronic facsimile transmission (with receipt thereof confirmed), or five business days after having been mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or three business days after having been sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service such as Federal Express or UPS, addressed to the Company (to the attention of the General Counsel of the Company) at its principal executive offices and to the Executive at his principal residence, or to such other address as either Party may have furnished to the other in writing and in accordance herewith, except that notices of changes of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

21.Governing Law and Choice of Forum.

(a)This Agreement will be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

(b)To the extent not otherwise provided for by Section 16 of this Agreement, the Executive and the Company consent to the jurisdiction of all state and federal courts located in Overland Park, Johnson County, Kansas, (or, if the location of the Company’s corporate headquarters is no longer in Overland Park and the Executive’s principal place of work has been relocated to the Company’s corporate headquarter, then within thirty (30) miles of the location of the Executive’s then current principal place of work for the Company, or if he is no longer

working with the Company, within thirty (30) miles of his most recent principal place of work for the Company) as well as to the jurisdiction of all courts of which an appeal may be taken from such courts, for the purpose of any suit, action, or other proceeding arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or that otherwise arise out of the employment relationship. Each Party hereby expressly waives any and all rights to bring any suit, action, or other proceeding in or before any court or tribunal other than the courts described above and covenants that it shall not seek in any manner to resolve any dispute other than as set forth in this paragraph. Further, the Parties each hereby expressly waives any and all objections either may have to venue, including, without limitation, the inconvenience of such forum, in any of such courts. In addition, each of the Parties consents to the service of process by personal service or any manner in which notices may be delivered hereunder in accordance with this Agreement.

22.Validity/Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision is held invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision will not be affected, and the provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal will be reformed to the extent (and only to the extent) necessary to make it enforceable, valid or legal. To the extent any provisions are held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal cannot be reformed, such provisions are to be stricken herefrom and the remainder of this Agreement will be binding on the Parties and their successors and assigns as if such invalid or illegal provisions were never included in this Agreement from the first instance.

23.Survival of Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Parties’ respective rights and obligations under Sections 5(a), 5(b), 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 25 and 26, will survive any termination of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement.

24.Representations and Acknowledgements.

(a)The Executive hereby represents that, except as he has disclosed to the Company, he is not subject to any restriction on his ability to enter into this Agreement or to perform his duties and responsibilities hereunder, including, but not limited to, any covenant not to compete with any former employer that would so restrict him.

(b)The Executive further represents that, to the best of his knowledge, his performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as an employee of the Company does not and will not breach any agreement with another party, and that he will not knowingly disclose to the Company or induce the Company to use any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employer not included in the Company Group or others.

(c)The Executive hereby represents and agrees that, during the Restricted Period, if the Executive is offered employment or the opportunity to enter into any business activity, whether as owner, investor, executive, manager, employee, independent consultant, contractor, advisor or otherwise, the Executive will inform the offeror of the existence of Sections 10, 11, 12, and 13 of this Agreement and provide the offeror a copy thereof. The Executive authorizes the Company to provide a copy of the relevant provisions of this

Agreement to any of the persons or entities described in this Section 24(c) and to make such persons aware of the Executive’s obligations under this Agreement.

(d)The Company represents and warrants that (i) it is fully authorized by action of its Board (and of any other person or body whose action is required) to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations under it, and (ii) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Parties, this Agreement shall be its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

25.Compliance with Code Section 409A. With respect to reimbursements or in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement or under any other Company Arrangement: (a) the Company will not provide for cash in lieu of a right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits to which the Executive has a right under this Agreement or under any other Company Arrangement, (b) any reimbursement of provision of in-kind benefits made during the Executive’s lifetime (or such shorter period prescribed by a specific provision of this Agreement or of any other Company Arrangement) shall be made not later than December 31^st of the year following the year in which the Executive incurs the expense, and (c) in no event will the amount of expenses so reimbursed, or in-kind benefits provided, by the Company in one year affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year. Each payment, reimbursement or in-kind benefit made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or of any other Company Arrangement shall be regarded as a separate payment and not one of a series of payments for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. It is intended that any amounts payable under this Agreement, any Employee Plan or any other Company Arrangement, and any exercise of the Company’s and the Executive’s authority or discretion hereunder, shall comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations relating thereto so as not to subject the Executive to the payment of the additional tax, interest and any tax penalty which may be imposed under Code Section 409A. In furtherance of this interest, to the extent that any provision hereof would result in the Executive being subject to payment of the additional tax, interest and tax penalty under Code Section 409A, the Parties agree to amend this Agreement in order to bring this Agreement into compliance with Code Section 409A; and thereafter to interpret its provisions in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. Reference to Section 409A of the Code is to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and will also include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary, and unless the Executive otherwise agrees in a signed writing executed in connection with the termination of his employment under this Agreement, the Executive shall have no duties or responsibilities after the Termination Date that are inconsistent with his having had a Separation from Service on the Termination Date. If the Executive agrees, in a signed writing that is executed in connection with the termination of his employment under this Agreement, to undertake duties and responsibilities that will result in his not incurring a Separation from Service on the Termination Date, all references to the Termination Date herein for the purposes of determining the commencement of any severance payments and benefits that constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A

shall mean the date Executive incurs a Separation from Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no particular tax result for the Executive with respect to any income recognized by the Executive in connection with this Agreement is guaranteed, and the Executive shall be responsible for any taxes, penalties and interest imposed on him under or as a result of Section 409A of the Code in connection with payments and benefits made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

26.Amendment; Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be modified or amended other than through a writing that is signed by the Parties and that expressly identifies the provision being modified or amended. No waiver by either Party at any time of any breach by the other Party hereto of compliance with any provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other Party will be effective unless in a signed writing that expressly identifies the provision of this Agreement that is being waived, nor shall any such waiver, deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

27.Legal Fees. The Executive shall be entitled to payment or reimbursement of any legal fees and expenses incurred in by him connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement up to a maximum amount of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), any such payment or reimbursement to be made promptly following receipt of appropriate documentation from the Executive substantiating such fees and expenses.

28.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same agreement. Signatures delivered by facsimile (including, without limitation, by “pdf”) shall be effective for all purposes.

EXHIBIT A

Evidence of Award

2017 Long-term Incentive Plan

Stock Options

Throughout this Evidence of Award, we sometimes refer to Sprint Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as “we” or “us” and to the Award recipient as “you.”

1. Award of Option Right

Effective on [MM/DD/2018] (the “Date of Grant”), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted you an Option Right to purchase from us the number of shares shown above of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of Sprint (the “Common Stock”) at an Option Price of $[X.XX] per share. The Option Right is governed by the terms of the Sprint Corporation 2015 Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and is subject to the terms and conditions described in this Evidence of Award. The Option Right is not intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

2. When the Option Right Becomes Exercisable

Your Option Right becomes exercisable (or “vested”) at a rate of 1/3^rd of the total number of shares subject to purchase on each of May 24, 2018, May 24, 2019 and May 24, 2020, conditioned upon you continuously serving as our employee through each applicable vesting date and otherwise complying with the terms of the Plan and this Evidence of Award. The portion of your Option Right that has not yet vested as of your Termination Date will be forfeited immediately after such date, except to the extent vesting accelerates as described in paragraph 3. Termination Date means the later of (a) the last day of your relationship with us as a common-law employee as reflected on our payroll records, and (b) if, after your involuntary termination you receive severance from us paid according to our payroll cycle (i.e., not in a lump sum), the last day of your severance pay period.

3. Acceleration of Vesting

The unvested portion of your Option Right may become vested before the time at which it would normally become vested by the passage of time - that is, the vesting may accelerate. Your unvested portion of your Option Right will vest fully on your Termination Date under the following circumstances:



Event	Condition for Vesting Acceleration
Death	Your death.
Disability	Your Termination Date is under circumstances that make you eligible for benefits under the Sprint Long-Term Disability Plan.
Change in Control Involuntary Termination	Your Termination Date is during the CIC Severance Protection Period under circumstances that you receive severance benefits under the Sprint Separation Plan (or its successor), the CIC Severance Plan, or your employment agreement (if applicable).



Normal Retirement	Your Termination Date (for any other reason except for Cause) is on or after the later of your 65^th birthday and one year after the Date of Grant.

CIC Severance Plan means the Sprint Change in Control Severance Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, or any successor plan.

CIC Severance Protection Period is defined in the Plan. Generally, it means the time period commencing on the date of the first occurrence of a “Change in Control” and continuing until the earlier of (i) the 18-month anniversary of such date or (ii) your death. For purposes of the Option Right under this Award, the CIC Severance Protection Period applies only with respect to a Change in Control occurring after the Date of Grant.

4. Exercise of Option Right

To the extent it has vested, you may exercise your Option Right under this Award in whole or in part at the time or times as permitted by the Plan if the Option Right has not otherwise expired, been forfeited or terminated. To exercise you must:


•	deliver a written election under procedures we establish (including by approved electronic medium) and


•	pay the Option Price.

You may pay the Option Price by


•	check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds,


•	actual or constructive transfer of shares of Common Stock you have owned for at least six months having a market value on the Exercise Date equal to the Option Price, or


•	any combination of cash, shares of Common Stock and other consideration as the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company may permit.

If you pay the Option Price by delivery of funds or shares of Common Stock, the value per share for purposes of determining your taxable income from such an exercise will be the Market Value Per Share of the Common Stock on the immediately preceding day before the exercise except that we will use the average of the high and low prices on that date in lieu of the closing price.

To the extent permitted by law, you may pay the Option Price from the proceeds of a sale through a broker we designate. The Market Value Per Share for purposes of determining your taxable income from such an exercise will be the actual price at which the broker sold the shares.

5. Expiration of Option Right

Unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of this Evidence of Award or the Plan, the Option Right granted herein will expire at 4:00 P.M., U.S. Eastern Time, on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Expiration Date”). If the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, however, is a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which the market on which our Common Stock trades is closed (a “Non-Business Day”), then the Expiration Date will occur at 4:00 P.M., U.S. Eastern Time, on the first business day before the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.

6. Effect of your Termination of Employment

The length of time you have to exercise your vested Option Right after your termination of employment with us depends on the reason for your termination. The table below describes the post-termination exercise period for the various termination reasons. The Option Right will expire as of the end of the applicable period. In no event, however, may you exercise your Option Right after the Expiration Date.



Event (as Defined Above)	Time to Exercise Vested Options
Death	Up through the 12^th month after your Termination Date
Disability	Up through 60 months after your Termination Date
Normal Retirement, or Early Retirement (i.e., your Termination Date (for any other reason except for Cause) is on or after the date you would be eligible to commence early or special early retirement benefits under the Sprint Retirement Pension Plan, whether or not you are a participant in that plan)	Up through 60 months after your Termination Date
Any other Termination of Employment not for Cause	Up through the 90^th day after your Termination Date
For Cause	Forfeited as of Termination Date
Breach of restrictive covenants during the Restricted Period as defined in your employment agreement	Forfeited as of breach

If the last day to exercise under the schedule described in the table above is a Non-Business Day, then you must exercise no later than the previous business day. You are solely responsible for managing the exercise of your Option Award in order to avoid inadvertent expiration.

7. Transfer of your Option Right and Designation of Beneficiaries

Your Option Right represents a contract between the Company and you, and your rights under the contract are not assignable to any other party during your lifetime. Upon your death, your Option Right may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the Award by any beneficiary you name in a beneficiary designation or, if you make no designation, by your estate.

8. Plan Terms

All capitalized terms used in this Evidence of Award that are not defined in this Evidence of Award have the same meaning as those terms have in the Plan. The terms of the Plan are hereby incorporated by this reference. The Plan is available on line at <link>

9. Adjustment

In the event of any change in the number or kind of outstanding shares of our Common Stock by reason of a recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, separation, liquidation, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or any other change in our corporate structure or shares of our Common Stock, an appropriate adjustment will be made consistent with applicable provisions of the Code and applicable Treasury Department rulings and regulations in the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards and any other adjustments as the Board deems appropriate.

10. Amendment; Discretionary Nature of Plan

This Evidence of Award is subject to the terms of the Plan, as may be amended from time to time, except that the Award which is the subject of this Evidence of Award may not be materially impaired by any amendment or termination of the Plan approved after the Date of Grant without your written consent. You acknowledge and agree that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time. The grant of the Option Award under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of Option Awards, other types of grants under the Plan, or benefits in lieu of such grants in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the timing of any grant, the number of shares underlying the Option Award granted, and vesting provisions.

11. Data Privacy

By accepting this Award, you (i) authorize us, and any agent of ours administering the Plan or providing Plan recordkeeping services, to disclose to us or our subsidiaries such information and data as we or our subsidiaries request in order to facilitate the grant of the Option Right and the administration of the Plan; (ii) waive any data privacy rights you may have with respect to such information; and (iii) authorize us to store and transmit such information in electronic form.

12. Governing Law and Exclusive Forum

This Evidence of Award will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and any dispute in connection therewith may only be brought in the state or federal courts in Delaware. No shares of Common Stock will be delivered upon the exercise of the Option Right unless counsel for the Company is satisfied that such delivery will be in compliance with all applicable laws.

13. Severability

The various provisions of this Evidence of Award are severable, and any determination of invalidity or unenforceability of any one provision shall have no effect on the remaining provisions.

14. Clawback

fraudulent or illegal conduct and that such forfeiture or recovery is appropriate, or as may be required under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

15. Entire Understanding

You hereby acknowledge that you have read the Sprint Corporation 2015 Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan Information Statement dated November, 2016 (the “Information Statement”) available on line at <link>. To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Evidence of Award, the terms of the Information Statement and the Plan are hereby incorporated by reference. This Evidence of Award, along with the Information Statement and the Plan, contain the entire understanding of the parties.

EXHIBIT B

Evidence of Award

2017 Long-term Incentive Plan

Restricted Stock Units

Throughout this Evidence of Award, we sometimes refer to Sprint Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as “we” or “us.”

1. Award of Restricted Stock Units

Effective on [MM/DD/2018] (the “Date of Grant”), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted you an Award of the number of Restricted Stock Units (the “RSUs”) shown above under the terms of the Sprint Corporation 2015 Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Evidence of Award, an RSU represents the right for you to receive from us one share of Common Stock.

2. Restriction Period

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Award, your RSUs will vest at a rate of 1/3^rd of the total number of RSUs on each of May 24, 2018, May 24, 2019 and May 24, 2020, or, if earlier, the date vesting is accelerated as described in paragraph 3 below (the “Vested RSUs”), conditioned on you continuously serving as our employee to such date (the “Vesting Date”).

3. Acceleration of Vesting

Unvested RSUs may vest before the time at which they would normally become vested - that is, the vesting of RSUs may accelerate. Your RSUs will vest fully, except as noted below, on your Separation from Service under the following circumstances:



Event	Condition for Vesting Acceleration
Death	Your death.
Disability	You have a termination of employment that constitutes a Separation from Service under circumstances that make you eligible for benefits under the Sprint Long-Term Disability Plan.
Change in Control Involuntary Termination	You have a termination of employment that constitutes a Separation from Service during the CIC Severance Protection Period under circumstances that you receive severance benefits under the Sprint Separation Plan (or its successor), the CIC Severance Plan, or your employment agreement (if applicable).
Non-Change in Control Involuntary Termination*	You have a termination of employment that constitutes a Separation from Service other than during the CIC Severance Protection Period under circumstances that you receive severance benefits under the Sprint Separation Plan (or its successor), the CIC Severance Plan or your employment agreement (if applicable).*
Normal Retirement*	You have any other termination of employment without Cause that constitutes a Separation from Service on or after the later of your 65^th birthday and the second anniversary of the Date of Grant.*

*The number of your RSUs that vest is your RSUs times the factor based on the period beginning on the Date of Grant, inclusive, through your Separation from Service in relation to the period of the Date of Grant, through May 24, 2020, and then subtracting any RSUs that have already vested as of your Separation from Service with the remainder of your RSUs forfeited as of your Separation from Service.

Separation from Service is defined in the Plan. Generally, it means the last day of your relationship with us as an employee as reflected on our payroll records.

CIC Severance Plan means the Sprint Change in Control Severance Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, or any successor plan.

CIC Severance Protection Period is defined in the Plan. Generally, it means the time period commencing on the date of the first occurrence of a “Change in Control” and continuing until the earlier of (i) the 18-month anniversary of such date or (ii) the Participant’s death. For purposes of the RSUs under this Award, the CIC Severance Protection Period applies only with respect to a Change in Control occurring after the Date of Grant.

4. Forfeiture of RSUs

You will forfeit as of your Separation from Service RSUs that are not vested pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs. In addition, you will forfeit undelivered RSUs if you breach a restrictive covenant in your employment agreement during the Restricted Period as defined in your employment agreement.

5. Dividends

If cash dividends are paid on the Common Stock underlying RSUs, which you hold on the dividend record date, you will receive a cash payment equal to the amount of the dividend that would be paid on such Common Stock, subject to the vesting provisions (including any applicable proration) with respect to, and delivery at the same time as the shares underlying, your RSUs.

If non-cash dividends are paid on the Common Stock underlying your RSUs, and you hold the RSUs on the dividend record date, the Board of Directors of the Company, or a sub-committee thereof, in its sole discretion, may (1) adjust your RSUs as described in paragraph 9 of this Evidence of Award, or (2) provide for distribution of the property distributed in the non-cash dividend. The additional RSUs or property distributed is subject to vesting provisions (including any applicable proration) with respect to, and delivery at the same time as the shares underlying, the original RSUs.

6. Delivery Date; Market Value Per Share

The Delivery Date (the date as of which we distribute to you the Common Stock underlying your Vested RSUs) is the Vesting Date, or the day after the Six-Month Payment Delay if that delay applies to your RSUs. We calculate your taxable income on the Delivery Date using the Market Value Per Share on the immediately preceding trading day, but we use the average of the high and low reported prices of our Common Stock instead of the closing price.

We will distribute the Common Stock underlying your Vested RSUs as soon as practicable after the Delivery Date, but in no event later than 45 days after the Delivery Date. Six-Month Payment Delay is defined in the Plan to mean the required delay in payment to a Participant who is a “specified employee” of amounts subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) that are paid upon Separation from Service.

7. Transfer of your RSUs and Designation of Beneficiaries

Your RSUs represent a contract between the Company and you, and your rights under the contract are not assignable to any other party during your lifetime nor do they give you a preferred claim to any particular assets or shares of the Company. Upon your death, shares of Common Stock underlying your RSUs will be delivered in accordance with the terms of the Award to any beneficiaries you name in a beneficiary designation or, if you make no designation, to your estate.

8. Plan Terms

9. Adjustment

In the event of any change in the number or kind of outstanding shares of our Common Stock by reason of a recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, separation, liquidation, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or any other change in our corporate structure or shares of our Common Stock, an appropriate adjustment will be made consistent with applicable provisions of the Code and applicable Treasury Department rulings and regulations in the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards and any other adjustments as the Board deems appropriate.

10. Amendment; Discretionary Nature of Plan

This Evidence of Award is subject to the terms of the Plan, as may be amended from time to time, except that the Award which is the subject of this Evidence of Award may not be materially impaired by any amendment or termination of the Plan approved after the Date of Grant without your written consent. You acknowledge and agree that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by us, in our sole discretion, at any time. The grant of RSUs under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of RSUs, other types of grants under the Plan, or benefits in lieu of such grants in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the timing of any grant, the number of RSUs granted, the payment of dividend equivalents, and vesting provisions.

11. Data Privacy

any data privacy rights you may have with respect to such information; and (iii) authorize us to store and transmit such information in electronic form.

12. Governing Law and Exclusive Forum

This Evidence of Award will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and any dispute in connection therewith may only be brought in the state or federal courts in Delaware. No shares of Common Stock will be delivered to you upon the vesting of the RSUs unless our counsel is satisfied that such delivery will be in compliance with all applicable laws.

13. Severability

The various provisions of this Evidence of Award are severable, and any determination of invalidity or unenforceability of any one provision shall have no effect on the remaining provisions.

14. Taxes

You are liable for any and all taxes, including withholding taxes, arising out of this grant or the issuance of the Common Stock on vesting of RSUs. We are authorized to deduct the amount of the tax withholding from the amount payable to you upon settlement of the RSUs. We will withhold from the total number of shares of Common Stock you are to receive a number of shares the value of which is sufficient to satisfy any such withholding obligation at the minimum applicable withholding rate. In addition, if you become subject to FICA or Medicare tax, but you are not yet entitled to delivery of the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs, you hereby authorize us to withhold the resulting FICA or Medicare tax from other income payable to you.

15. Clawback

We may recover any compensation related to this Long-Term Incentive Plan award to the extent the Board of Directors of the Company determines that the value of that compensation is based on financial results or operating objectives impacted by your knowing or intentional fraudulent or illegal conduct and that such forfeiture or recovery is appropriate, or as may be required under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Unvested RSUs may vest before the time at which they would normally become vested - that is, the vesting of RSUs may accelerate. Your RSUs will vest, fully (or pro rata as indicated below), on your Separation from Service under the following circumstances:



Event	Condition for Vesting Acceleration
Death	Your death.
Disability	You have a termination of employment that constitutes a Separation from Service under circumstances that make you eligible for benefits under the Sprint Long-Term Disability Plan.
Change in Control Involuntary Termination	You have a termination of employment that constitutes a Separation from Service during the CIC Severance Protection Period under circumstances that you receive severance benefits under the Sprint Separation Plan (or its successor), the CIC Severance Plan, or your



	employment agreement (if applicable).
Non-Change in Control Involuntary Termination*	You have a termination of employment that constitutes a Separation from Service other than during the CIC Severance Protection Period under circumstances that you receive severance benefits under the Sprint Separation Plan (or its successor) or your employment agreement (if applicable).*
Normal Retirement*	You have any other termination of employment without Cause that constitutes a Separation from Service on or after the later of your 65^th birthday and the second anniversary of the Date of Grant.*

*The number of your RSUs that vests is your RSUs times the factor based on your period of employment from the Date of Grant, inclusive, through your Separation from Service in relation to the period of the Date of Grant, inclusive, through May 24, 2020, with the remainder of your RSUs forfeited as of your Separation from Service.

In the case of Death, Disability, or Change in Control Involuntary Termination, the RSUs vest and are delivered without Performance Adjustment as soon as practicable thereafter, subject to Section 7. In the case of Non-Change in Control Involuntary Termination or Normal Retirement, the RSUs vest and delivery is deferred until as soon as practicable after the Performance Adjustment, subject to Section 7.

Separation from Service is defined in the Plan. Generally, it means the last day of your relationship with us as an employee as reflected on our payroll records.

CIC Severance Plan means the Sprint Change in Control Severance Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, or any successor plan.

CIC Severance Protection Period is defined in the Plan. Generally, it means the time period commencing on the date of the first occurrence of a “Change in Control” and continuing until the earlier of (i) the 18-month anniversary of such date or (ii) the Participant’s death. For purposes of the RSUs under this Award, the CIC Severance Protection Period applies only with respect to a Change in Control occurring after the Date of Grant.

5. Forfeiture of RSUs

6. Dividends

If cash dividends are paid on the Common Stock underlying your RSUs (as adjusted under paragraph 2 if applicable and determined retrospectively), which you hold on the dividend record date (the “Dividend RSUs”), you will receive a cash payment equal to the amount of the dividend that would be paid on such Common Stock, subject to the vesting provisions (including

any applicable proration) with respect to, and delivery at the same time as the shares underlying, your RSUs.

If non-cash dividends are paid on the Common Stock underlying your Dividend RSUs, the Board of Directors of the Company, or a sub-committee thereof, in its sole discretion, may (1) adjust your RSUs as described in paragraph 10 of this Evidence of Award, or (2) provide for distribution of the property distributed in the non-cash dividend. The additional RSUs or property distributed is subject to vesting provisions (including any applicable proration) with respect to, and delivery at the same time as the shares underlying, the original RSUs.

7. Delivery Date; Market Value Per Share

The Delivery Date (the date as of which we distribute to you the Common Stock underlying your RSUs, as adjusted if applicable) is the latest of the Vesting Date, the Adjustment Date if applicable, and the day after the Six-Month Payment Delay if that delay applies to your RSUs. We calculate your taxable income on the Delivery Date using the Market Value Per Share on the immediately preceding trading day, but we use the average of the high and low reported prices of our Common Stock instead of the closing price. We will distribute the Common Stock as soon as practicable after the Delivery Date, but in no event later than 45 days after the Delivery Date. Six-Month Payment Delay is defined in the Plan to mean the required delay in payment to a Participant who is a “specified employee” of amounts subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) that are paid upon Separation from Service.

11. Amendment; Discretionary Nature of Plan

This Evidence of Award is subject to the terms of the Plan, as may be amended from time to time, except that the Award which is the subject of this Evidence of Award may not be materially impaired by any amendment or termination of the Plan approved after the Date of Grant without your written consent. You acknowledge and agree that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by us, in our sole discretion, at any time. The grant of RSUs under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of RSUs, other types of grants under the Plan, or benefits in lieu of such grants in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the timing of any grant, the number of RSUs granted, the payment of dividend equivalents, and vesting provisions.

12. Data Privacy

By accepting this Award, you (i) authorize us, and any agent of ours administering the Plan or providing Plan recordkeeping services, to disclose to us such information and data as we request in order to facilitate the grant of the RSUs and the administration of the Plan; (ii) waive any data privacy rights you may have with respect to such information; and (iii) authorize us to store and transmit such information in electronic form.

13. Governing Law and Exclusive Forum

This Evidence of Award will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and any dispute in connection therewith may only be brought in the state or federal courts in Delaware. No shares of Common Stock will be delivered to you upon the vesting of the RSUs unless our counsel is satisfied that such delivery will be in compliance with all applicable laws.

14. Severability

The various provisions of this Evidence of Award are severable, and any determination of invalidity or unenforceability of any one provision shall have no effect on the remaining provisions.

15. Taxes

You are liable for any and all taxes, including withholding taxes, arising out of this grant or the issuance of the Common Stock on vesting of RSUs. We are authorized to deduct the amount of the tax withholding from the amount payable to you upon settlement of the RSUs. We will withhold from the total number of shares of Common Stock you are to receive a number of shares the value of which is sufficient to satisfy any such withholding obligation at the minimum applicable withholding rate. In addition, if you become subject to FICA (Social Security or Medicare tax), but you are not yet entitled to delivery of the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs, you hereby authorize us to withhold the resulting FICA tax from other income payable to you.

EXHIBIT D

Evidence of Award

Turnaround Incentive Award

Restricted Stock Units

Throughout this Evidence of Award, we sometimes refer to Sprint Corporation (“Sprint” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as “we” or “us,” and we refer to the Award recipient as “you.”

1. Award of Restricted Stock Units

Effective ____________, 201[X]_ (the “Date of Grant”), the Compensation Committee of the Company granted you 3,000,000 restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) under the terms of the Sprint Corporation Amended and Restated 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Evidence of Award, an RSU represents the right for you to receive from us one share of Common Stock of the Company. This award is intended to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award as defined in the Plan.

2. Determination of Earned Shares

Your RSUs will be earned (the “Earned Shares”) upon the achievement of specified volume-weighted average prices of Common Stock during regular trading on the NYSE over any 150-calendar day period during a period from your Date of Grant through May 31, 2021 (the “Performance Period”). The volume-weighted average prices associated with the Earned Shares are as set forth below:


•	<$8.00: Earned Shares = 0% of target


•	$8.00: Earned Shares = 100% of target


•	=>$10.00: Earned Shares = 120% of target

In determining Earned Shares, there is no interpolation between the above price targets. For example, if the highest volume-weighted average price over any 150-calendar day period during the Performance Period is $8.50, then the Earned Shares would be 100% of target.

3. Vesting and Forfeiture

If the price targets specified in paragraph 2 are not achieved by the conclusion of the Performance Period, the opportunity is forfeited. Once shares are earned - that is, the price target has been attained during the Performance Period - they are subject to forfeiture if you are not continuously serving as our employee through the Vesting Date (subject to the exceptions in Paragraphs 4 and 5 below), but they are not subject to forfeiture based on subsequent share price performance. The Earned Shares vest on May 31, 2022 (referred to as the “Vesting Date”).

4. Treatment of Certain Terminations before a Vesting Date

If, (1) before a Vesting Date and after two years following the Date of Grant, your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or (2) before a Vesting Date you have a termination by death, or termination by Disability, you will receive on the Vesting Date a pro-rata number of the Earned Shares you would have otherwise received without such termination, based on the number of days you were employed during the Performance Period over the entire Performance Period. Cause and Disability are defined in the Plan.

5. Treatment of Change in Control during the Performance Period

If a Change in Control, as defined in this Evidence of Award, occurs during the Performance Period,

Earned Shares (if any) will be the greater of the achievement based on (1) volume-weighted average prices of

Common Stock over any 150-calendar day period as specified in Paragraph 2 as of the date of the Change in

Control, or (2) the consideration per share of Common Stock in connection with the Change in Control using the prices specified in Paragraph 2. Any Earned Shares under the previous sentence will vest on the Vesting Date as specified in Paragraph 3, unless the continuing entity fails to assume the RSUs, in which case vesting will accelerate without proration as of the date of the Change in Control. In addition, if during the CIC Severance Protection

Period, your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or you terminate employment for Good Reason, any Earned Shares will immediately vest and become payable without proration. Change in Control for this award is as defined in the Plan, except that acquisition by SoftBank Group Corp. or its subsidiaries of 100% of the Company’s shares (such that the Company ceases to have any class of equity securities listed on a national securities exchange) will not constitute a Change in Control. CIC Severance Protection Period is also defined in the Plan. It means the time period commencing on the date of the first occurrence of a Change in Control and continuing until the earlier of (i) the 18-month anniversary of such date or (ii) the Participant’s death.

6. Dividends

Your RSUs are not eligible for dividends.

7. Delivery Date; Market Value Per Share

The Delivery Date (the date as of which we distribute to you the Common Stock underlying your Vested

RSUs) is the Vesting Date, or the day after the Six-Month Payment Delay if that delay applies to your RSUs. We calculate your taxable income on the Delivery Date using the Market Value Per Share on the immediately preceding trading day, but we use the average of the high and low reported prices of our Common Stock instead of the closing price. We will distribute the Common Stock underlying your Vested RSUs as soon as practicable after the Delivery Date, but in no event later than 45 days after the Delivery Date. Six-Month Payment Delay is defined in the Plan to mean the required delay in payment to a Participant who is a “specified employee” of amounts subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) that are paid upon Separation from Service.

8. Transfer of your RSUs and Designation of Beneficiaries

Your RSUs represent a contract between the Company and you, and your rights under the contract are not assignable to any other party during your lifetime nor do they give you a preferred claim to any particular assets or shares of the Company. Upon the Vesting Date following your death, any Earned Shares prorated as described in Paragraph 4 will be delivered in accordance with the terms of the Award to any beneficiaries you name in a beneficiary designation or, if you make no designation, to your estate.

9. Plan Terms

10. Adjustment

In the event of any change in the number or kind of outstanding shares of our Common Stock by reason of a recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, separation, liquidation, stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, combination of shares or any other change in our corporate structure or shares of our Common Stock, an appropriate adjustment will be made consistent with applicable provisions of the Code and applicable Treasury Department rulings and regulations in the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards and any other adjustments as the Board deems appropriate.

11. Amendment; Discretionary Nature of Plan

This Evidence of Award is subject to the terms of the Plan, as may be amended from time to time, except that the Award which is the subject of this Evidence of Award may not be materially impaired by any amendment or termination of the Plan approved either before or after the Date of Grant, without your written consent. Subject to the above restriction, you acknowledge and agree that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by us, in our sole discretion, at any time. The grant of RSUs under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive any other grant of RSUs, other types of grants under the Plan, or benefits in lieu of such grants in the future. Future grants (other than as contained herein), if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but

not limited to, the timing of any grant, the number of RSUs granted, the payment of dividend equivalents, and vesting provisions.

12. Data Privacy

13. Governing Law

This Evidence of Award will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. No shares of Common

Stock will be delivered to you upon the vesting of the RSUs unless our counsel is satisfied that such delivery will be in compliance with all applicable laws.

14. Severability

The various provisions of this Evidence of Award are severable, and any determination of invalidity or unenforceability of any one provision shall have no effect on the remaining provisions.

15. Taxes

You are liable for any and all taxes, including withholding taxes, arising out of this grant or the issuance of the

Common Stock on vesting of RSUs. We are authorized to deduct the amount of the tax withholding from the amount payable to you upon settlement of the RSUs. We will withhold from the total number of shares of Common Stock you are to receive a number of shares the value of which is sufficient to satisfy any such withholding obligation at the minimum applicable withholding rate. In addition, if you become subject to FICA or Medicare tax, but you are not yet entitled to delivery of the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs, you hereby authorize us to withhold the resulting FICA or Medicare tax from other income payable to you.

16. Clawback

We may recover any compensation related to this award to the extent the Board of Directors of the Company determines that the value of that compensation is based on financial results or operating objectives impacted by your knowing or intentional fraudulent or illegal conduct and that such forfeiture or recovery is appropriate, or as may be required under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

17. Entire Understanding

You hereby acknowledge that you have read the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan Information Statement (the “Information Statement”) available on Sprint’s intranet. To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Evidence of Award, the terms of the Information Statement and the Plan are hereby incorporated by reference. This Evidence of Award, along with the Information Statement and the Plan, contain the entire understanding of the parties.

(vi) any Claim that arises after the Effective Date; and

(vii)any Claim the Executive has against any of the Company Releasees solely in his capacity as a shareholder of Sprint Corporation or of any Affiliate of the Company (with the term “Affiliate” having the meaning ascribed to it in the Agreement) or as a former shareholder of Sprint Nextel Corporation.

The Executive understands and acknowledges that the Company does not admit any violation of law, liability or invasion of any of his rights and that any such violation, liability or invasion is expressly denied. The consideration provided to the Executive for this Release is made for the purpose of settling and extinguishing all Claims arising prior to the Effective Date that relate to his employment or termination of employment with the Company that the Executive ever had or now may have against the Company or any of the other Company Releasees to the extent provided in this Release. The Executive further agrees and acknowledges that no representations, promises or inducements have been made by any of the Company Releasees to the Executive with respect to this Release other than as appear in the Agreement or this Release.


3.	The Executive agrees to release and discharge each Company Releasee, not only from any and all Claims which he could make on his own behalf, but also Claims that may or could be brought by any person or organization on his behalf,

for monetary relief, and he specifically waives any right to recovery, directly or indirectly, in connection with any class or collective action or representative proceeding in which a Claim or Claims against any Company Releasee for monetary relief may arise, in whole or in part, from any event which occurred up through and including the Effective Date.


4.	The Executive acknowledges that his waiver and release of rights and claims as set forth in this Release is in exchange for valuable consideration which he would not otherwise be entitled to receive.

The parties understand, agree and intend that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1(b) above, upon the Executive’s receipt of all of the payments and benefits to be paid or provided to him by the Company pursuant to Section 9(b) and 9(c) of the Agreement, he will have received complete satisfaction of any and all Claims arising prior to the Effective Date , whether known, suspected, or unknown, that he may have or had against any of the Company Releasees that are related to his employment, or termination of employment, with any of them.

The Executive agrees to pay any reasonable legal fees or costs incurred by any of the Company Affiliated Group as a result of any breach of his promises in this Release, including his promise to fully release each member of the Company Affiliated Group from all Claims and to compensate any such company for its legal costs, including attorneys’ fees incurred by such company as a result of any breach of the Release, except to the extent that he challenges the validity of the Release under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, in which case such company may only recover such fees and expenses as may be permitted by state and federal law.

7. The Executive further represents, agrees and acknowledges that:


(a)	he has been advised by the Company to consult with his own legal counsel prior to executing and delivering this Release, has had an opportunity to consult with and to be advised by legal counsel of his choice, fully understands the terms of this Release, and enters into this Release freely, voluntarily, without coercion or duress of any kind and intending to be bound;


(b)	he has been given the opportunity to consider this Release for a period of at least [45 or 21, as applicable] days after the Termination Date (as defined in the Agreement). In the event that the Executive has executed this Release within less than such [45- or 21-, as applicable] day period, the Executive acknowledges that his decision to so execute the Release was entirely

voluntary and that he had the opportunity to consider this Release for the entire [45- or 21-, as applicable] day period.

Provided that this Release is not revoked pursuant to the preceding sentence, this Release shall become effective, binding, irrevocable and enforceable on the date immediately following the last day of the Revocation Period (the “Effective Date”). If the Executive timely exercises his right to revoke this Release, the Executive will forfeit his right to receive any of the benefits that were conditioned on this Release becoming effective, without affecting the effectiveness of the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, and without altering the termination of the Executive’s employment from all offices and any directorships and any fiduciary positions;


(c)	in executing this Release, the Executive does not rely and has not relied upon any representation or statement not set forth herein or in the Agreement made by the Company with regard to the subject matter, basis, or effect of this Release or otherwise; and

(d)

for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of all Claims against the Company Affiliated Group, the Executive expressly acknowledges that this Release is intended to include in its effect, to the extent herein provided, all Claims related to his employment or termination of employment with any of the Company Affiliated Group arising before the Effective Date , which the Executive does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of execution hereof, and that this Release contemplates the extinguishment of any such Claim or Claims. IN EXECUTING THIS RELEASE, THE EXECUTIVE EXPRESSLY REPRESENTS THAT HE IS DOING SO VOLUNTARILY AND OF HIS OWN FREE WILL AND THAT HE IS OF SOUND MIND AT THE TIME OF SAID EXECUTION.


8.	The Executive represents that he will not seek to recover any monetary damages in the future with respect to Claims that arose prior to the Effective Date; provided, however, that nothing in this Release shall not limit the Executive from commencing any proceeding for the purpose of enforcing the Executive’s rights arising under, or preserved by, this Release or the Agreement.


9.	The Executive waives and releases any Claim that the Executive has or may have to reemployment.

10.
