We are acting as counsel to T-Mobile USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), T-Mobile US, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the direct parent of the Company (the “Parent Guarantor”), the subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule I hereto (together with the Parent Guarantor, the “DE/NY Guarantors”) and the subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule II hereto (the “Non-DE/NY Guarantors” and, collectively with the DE/NY Guarantors, the “Guarantors”), in connection with Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-249079) initially filed on September 28, 2020 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto, filed on March 30, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement, as amended, including the prospectus contained therein, relates to (x) the contemplated issuance from time to time, as set forth in the applicable prospectus contained in the Registration Statement (the “Primary Prospectus”) and as may be set forth in one or more supplements to the Primary Prospectus, of (i) one or more series of debt securities (the “Primary Debt Securities”) which may be issued by the Company and (ii) guarantees by one or more of the Guarantors of the Primary Debt Securities (the “Primary Debt Securities Guarantees”) and (y) the contemplated resale from time to time, as set forth in the applicable prospectus contained in the Registration Statement (the “Resale Prospectus”) and as may be set forth in one or more supplements to the Resale Prospectus by the selling securityholder named in the Registration Statement of (i) certain series of the Company’s outstanding debt securities (the “Resale Debt Securities”) and (ii) guarantees by the Guarantors of the Resale Debt Securities. With your permission, all assumptions and statements of reliance herein have been made without any independent investigation or verification on our part, and we express no opinion with respect to the subject matter or accuracy of such assumptions or items relied upon. The Amendment relates to the addition of a new form of indenture (the “Indenture”), to be entered into among the Company, the Parent Guarantor and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, pursuant to which certain Primary Debt Securities and Primary Debt Securities Guarantees may be issued, as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and the addition to the Registration Statement of the Primary Debt Securities and Primary Debt Securities Guarantees that may be issued under the Indenture.
Primary Debt Securities and the Primary Debt Securities Guarantees may be issued from time to time pursuant to one or more supplemental indentures (each, a “Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture, to be entered into among the Company, the Parent Guarantor and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee. The Indenture, any Supplemental Indentures, any certificates evidencing Primary Debt Securities and any notations of guarantee with respect to Primary Debt Securities Guarantees, and any other documents contemplated thereby or hereby are collectively referred to herein as the “Documents.”
In connection with this opinion, we have (i) investigated such questions of law, (ii) examined originals or certified, conformed, electronic or reproduction copies of such agreements, instruments, documents and records of the Company and the Guarantors, such certificates of public officials and such other documents and (iii) received such information from officers and representatives of the Company, the Guarantors and others, in each case as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.
