Amended and Restated Employment Agreement

On November 6, 2015 (the “Amendment Effective Date”), Sprint Nextel Corporation, now known as Sprint Communications, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Amendment”) to that certain Employment Agreement by and between the Company and Joseph J. Euteneuer, Senior Financial Advisor and former Chief Financial Officer, dated as of December 20, 2010 and amended on November 20, 2012, November 11, 2013, and November 14, 2014 (the “Agreement”). The Amendment amends the Agreement and restricted stock unit award agreements for grants on July 24, 2013, May 20, 2014, and May 20, 2015 (the “RSU Award Agreements”) to provide that, for purposes of calculation of pro rata payouts under the Company’s short-term incentive plan and the awards under the RSU Award Agreements, Mr. Euteneuer will be treated as if his last day of employment with the Company was October 31, 2015, rather than his actual last day which will be December 9, 2015. In addition, the Amendment provides that Mr. Euteneuer will no longer receive vacation accruals under the Company’s Paid Time Off policy, effective as of October 31.

The foregoing summary of the material terms of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the full terms of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
