Transfer of your RSUs and Designation of Beneficiaries
Your RSUs represent a contract between Sprint Nextel 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 Sprint Nextel. 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.

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.
11.
Amendment; Discretionary Nature of Plan
This Agreement 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 Agreement 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.

By entering into this Agreement, 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 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
This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Kansas. No shares of Common Stock will be delivered to you
upon the vesting of the RSUs unless counsel for the Corporation is satisfied that such delivery will be in compliance with all applicable
laws.
14.
Severability
The various provisions of this Agreement are severable, and any determination of invalidity or unenforceability of any one
provision shall have no effect on the remaining provisions.
