(the "Company"), issued $0.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 2.050% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes"), $0.75 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 2.550% Senior Secured Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes"), $1.25 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 3.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2041 (the "2041 Notes") and $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 3.300% Senior Secured Notes due 2051 (the "2051 Notes" and, together with the 2028 Notes, the 2031 Notes and the 2041 Notes, the "Notes" and the issuance of the Notes, the "Notes Offering") pursuant to the Indenture (the "Base Indenture"), dated as of April 9, 2020, among T-Mobile USA, the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the "Trustee"), as amended and supplemented by (i) the Eighth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 24, 2020 (the "Eighth Supplemental Indenture") and the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 6, 2020 (the "Tenth Supplemental Indenture" and collectively with the Eighth Supplemental Indenture, the "2028 Notes Supplemental Indenture"), with respect to the 2028 Notes, (ii) the Ninth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 24, 2020 (the "Ninth Supplemental Indenture") and the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 6, 2020 (the "Eleventh Supplemental Indenture" and collectively with the Ninth Supplemental Indenture, the "2031 Notes Supplemental Indenture"), with respect to the 2031 Notes, (iii) the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 6, 2020 (the "Twelfth Supplemental Indenture") and (iv) the Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 6, 2020 (the "Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture"), each among T-Mobile USA, the Company, the other guarantors party thereto and the Trustee (the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented by each of the 2028 Notes Supplemental Indenture, the 2031 Notes Supplemental Indenture, the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture and the Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture, each an "Indenture" and, collectively, the "Indentures").

The 2028 Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.050% per year and mature on February 15, 2028. The 2031 Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.550% per year and mature on February 15, 2031. The 2041 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.000% per year and mature on February 15, 2041. The 2051 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.300% per year and mature on February 15, 2051. T-Mobile USA will pay interest on each series of Notes semiannually in arrears on each February 15 and August 15, commencing February 15, 2021. The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes are expected to be used to prepay in full the $4.0 billion of term loans outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest, under the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2020 (the "Credit Agreement"), among T-Mobile USA, as borrower, the banks and financial institutions party thereto as lenders and issuing banks, and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent.

The 2028 Notes are an additional issuance of the 2.050% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 issued by T-Mobile USA in an aggregate principal amount of $1.25 billion on June 24, 2020 (the "Existing 2028 Notes"), are fungible with the Existing 2028 Notes, and are consolidated with and form a single series with the Existing 2028 Notes. The 2031 Notes are an additional issuance of the 2.550% Senior Secured Notes due 2031 issued by T-Mobile USA in an aggregate principal amount of $1.75 billion on June 24, 2020 (the "Existing 2031 Notes"), are fungible with the Existing 2031 Notes, and are consolidated with and form a single series with the Existing 2031 Notes. The 2028 Notes and 2031 Notes have the same terms as the Existing 2028 Notes and the Existing 2031 Notes, respectively, other than the settlement date and offering price, and have the same CUSIP number as the Existing 2028 Notes and the Existing 2031 Notes (other than the 2028 Notes and the 2031 Notes sold pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), which will have a separate CUSIP number from the Existing 2028 Notes and the Existing 2031 Notes, respectively, for the first 40 days after the settlement date).

T-Mobile USA's obligations under the Notes will be guaranteed (such guarantees, the "Guarantees") by the Company and each wholly-owned subsidiary of T-Mobile USA that is not an Excluded Subsidiary (as defined in the Base Indenture) and is or becomes an obligor of the Credit Agreement or issues or guarantees certain capital markets debt securities, and any future direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company or any subsidiary thereof that owns capital stock of T-Mobile USA. The Guarantees will be provided on a senior secured basis except for the Guarantees of Sprint Corporation ("Sprint"), Sprint Communications, Inc. and Sprint Capital Corporation (collectively, the "Unsecured Guarantors"), which will be provided on a senior unsecured basis (the "Unsecured Guarantees"). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Notes and the Guarantees will be T-Mobile USA's and the guarantors' unsubordinated obligations; will be secured (except for the Unsecured Guarantees) by a first priority security interest, subject to permitted liens, in substantially all of T-Mobile USA's and such guarantors' present and future assets other than Excluded Assets (as defined in the Collateral Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2020 (the "Collateral Agreement"), by and among T-Mobile USA, the Company and the other grantors party thereto in favor of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as collateral trustee) on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations under T-Mobile USA's existing secured notes and the Credit Agreement and obligations under any other existing and future permitted first priority secured obligations; will be senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness of T-Mobile USA or any guarantor to the extent that such future indebtedness provides by its terms that it is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the Guarantees; will be effectively senior to all existing and future unsecured indebtedness of T-Mobile USA or any guarantor (other than the Unsecured Guarantors) and any future indebtedness of T-Mobile USA or any guarantor (other than the Unsecured Guarantors) secured by a junior lien on the collateral, in each case to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the obligations under the Notes; will be equal in right of payment with any of T-Mobile USA's and the guarantors' existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities that are not by their terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, including, without limitation, obligations under T-Mobile USA's existing secured notes and the Credit Agreement, T-Mobile USA's existing unsecured notes and the existing unsecured notes issued by the Unsecured Guarantors; and will be structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities and other obligations of the subsidiaries of the Company that are not obligors with respect to the Notes, including the existing spectrum-backed notes issued under Sprint's spectrum securitization program, factoring arrangements and tower obligations.

If T-Mobile USA experiences specific kinds of changes of control as set forth in the Indentures and any such change of control is accompanied or followed by ratings downgrades during a specified period of time after the change of control, any holder of Notes may require T-Mobile USA to repurchase all or a portion of the Notes so held at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase.

The Indentures contain covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of T-Mobile USA and certain of its subsidiaries to (i) create liens or other encumbrances in respect of borrowed money, (ii) merge, consolidate or sell, or otherwise dispose of, substantially all of their assets or (iii) grant a subsidiary guarantee of debt incurred under the Credit Agreement or certain capital markets debt without also providing a guarantee of the Notes. These limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.

Each Indenture contains customary Events of Default (as defined in each Indenture), including:

• default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes of the

applicable series;

• default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of

the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Notes of the applicable series;

• failure by T-Mobile USA or its subsidiaries to comply with their other

obligations under the Indenture, subject to notice and grace periods;

• payment defaults and accelerations with respect to other indebtedness of

T-Mobile USA and certain of its subsidiaries in the aggregate principal amount
   of at least the greater of (x) $250.0 million and (y) 1.0% of Consolidated Cash
   Flow (as defined in the Base Indenture) on a pro forma basis over a
   four-quarter test period;

• specified events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of T-Mobile

USA or certain of its subsidiaries;

• failure by T-Mobile USA or certain of its subsidiaries to pay certain final

judgments aggregating in excess of the greater of (x) $250.0 million and (y)
