Any other rates and charges will be as mutually agreed by the Parties pursuant to a written amendment to this Agreement; provided, however, that Sprint acknowledges and agrees that there are a number of its obligations for which there is not a separate charge or rate specified in this Agreement and that nothing in this Schedule 1.0 shall limit Sprint's responsibility to perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement.
There shall be no adjustments to the charges or rates under this Agreement or additional amounts payable under this Agreement except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, including this Schedule 1.0.
Allocation of responsibility for taxes and certain other applicable fees and surcharges between the Parties is set forth in Section 6.5 of the Agreement.

Plan, which is calculated as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month.
Cricket-2nd Amendment Sprint / Cricket Confidential Information - Restricted 2
The Monthly Recurring Charges for a monthly billing cycle shall be the sum of the Pricing Bundle MRCs for such cycle. “Pricing Bundle MRC” for a Pricing Bundle is:
(i) the Monthly Recurring Charge under Table 1-1 that applies to the Pricing Bundle during such cycle (provided that for the period up to and including January 8, 2014, the Monthly Recurring Charge for each Pricing Bundle shall not exceed the price set forth in Table 1-1 for the “[***]” Monthly Average Handset End Users tier for that Pricing Bundle); multiplied by
(ii) the total number of End Users assigned to such Pricing Bundle during the monthly billing cycle;
as reduced to reflect any partial monthly billing cycle in accordance with the immediately following paragraph.
The Monthly Recurring Charges for an End User shall be prorated for any partial monthly billing cycle during which the End User is assigned to a Pricing Bundle in accordance with the pro-rating methodology described in Attachment No. 2. For example, if an End User is assigned to a Base MRC Bundle for the first half of a monthly billing cycle, then the Monthly Recurring Charges for such End User for such monthly billing cycle of that Contract Year shall be 50% of the applicable Monthly Recurring Charge. More detailed examples of proration are set forth in Attachment No. 2.

Cricket-2nd Amendment Sprint / Cricket Confidential Information - Restricted 4
As used above, “MB” means megabytes (i.e., 1,048,576 bytes, or 2 to the 20th power) of data usage by an End User on the Sprint Network other than in connection with sending or receiving SMSs and “KB” means Kilobytes (i.e., 1,024 bytes, or 2 to the 10th power) of data usage by an End User on the Sprint Network other than in connection with sending or receiving SMSs. MB exclude all Roaming (domestic and international). For purposes of clarity, the usage of data and charges therefor are set forth in this Schedule 1.0 in MBs, but Sprint shall measure and invoice for such usage on a per KB basis.
In addition, if in any monthly billing cycle Purchaser has MOU, SMS or MB Overage (as defined below), Sprint shall charge Purchaser an amount equal to [***]
[***]
[***]
The calculation of the overage charges for a monthly billing cycle will be made [***] for each of MOU, SMS and Data. For purposes of this Schedule 1.0, “MOU, SMS or MB Overage” with respect to a monthly billing cycle is calculated as follows:
MOU, SMS or MB Overage = [***]
A = total usage of the applicable category of usage (MOU, SMS, and MB) for [***] during the monthly billing cycle
Bx = Dx x Ex, where “x” is the number assigned to the Pricing Bundle (e.g., Pricing Bundle 1, [***])
C = the applicable overage rate set forth in Table 1-3
Dx = the total number of EOP [***] as of the last day of the monthly billing cycle, where “x” is the number assigned to such Pricing Bundle
Ex = the level of usage set forth in Table 1-2 included in the applicable category of usage with respect to the applicable Pricing Bundle, where “x” is the number assigned to such Pricing Bundle

An example of the calculation of overage charges is set forth in Attachment 4.0. For reference, the per KB rate is $[***].
(b) Suspend Plan.
For End Users assigned to the Suspend Plan, Sprint will charge Purchaser the usage rates set forth in Table 1-4 below for minutes of use of Service. There is no Monthly Recurring Charge or Overage for End Users assigned the Suspend Plan and all usage of such End Users will be billed on a per unit basis as set forth below.

For reference, the per KB rate is $[***].
Purchaser will not knowingly assign an End User to the Suspend Plan for greater than [***] days. If Sprint provides notice to Purchaser that an End User has been assigned to the Suspend Plan for a period of greater than [***] days Purchaser will thereafter terminate the End User or assign such End User to one of the other Pricing Bundles. If Purchaser does not terminate such End User or assign such End User to another Pricing Bundle within five days of receipt of notice, Sprint may assign the End User to Pricing Bundle 1 under Section 2.1.1(a), and charge the Bundle 1 Monthly Recurring Charge set forth in Table 1-1, and such End Users will be included in the calculation of Net End Users for such plan and will otherwise be treated as an End User assigned Pricing Bundle 1. Purchaser agrees that it will not change plan assignments with the purpose of artificially extending the [***] day period.
2.1.2. Price Plans - Wireless Data Device
The charge for End Users' use of a Wireless Data Device during a billing cycle is the product of the aggregate number of MBs of usage on the Sprint Network by such Wireless Data Devices and $[***]. For reference, the per KB rate is
$[***]. There is no Monthly Recurring Charge or Overage for use of
Wireless Data Devices.
2.1.3. Review of Existing Pricing Bundles.
At the end of each [***] during the Term commencing with [***], Purchaser may request that Sprint and Purchaser review the actual average MOU, SMS and MB across all End Users with respect to any of the then-current Pricing Bundles. If the actual average MOUs, SMSs or MBs by Handsets assigned to End Users who have selected the same Pricing Bundle during the [***] deviates from the MOU, SMS and/or MB included in such Pricing Bundle by more than the Deadband Percentage, Purchaser may request, and Sprint shall propose within 30 days of such request, commercially reasonable adjustments to the MOU, SMS or MB levels of the applicable then-current Pricing Bundle and the Monthly Recurring Charges associated therewith. The “Deadband Percentage” for a category of usage (i.e., MOU, SMS or MB) with fewer than [***] units is [***]% and for a category of usage with [***] or more units is [***]%. If the Parties are unable to agree to such Monthly Recurring Charge within 60 days of Purchaser's request and Purchaser still wishes to implement a change to the existing Pricing Bundle(s), Purchaser may treat the reasonableness of Sprint's proposed adjustment as a dispute under the Agreement. Once the Parties have established a change to an existing Pricing Bundle under this paragraph, such Pricing Bundle will be effective on the first day of the monthly billing cycle immediately following such establishment.
*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted procedures.
2.1.4. New Pricing Bundles
Cricket-2nd Amendment Sprint / Cricket Confidential Information - Restricted 6
From time to time during the Term, Purchaser may request that new Pricing Bundles be created and implemented. Within 30 days of receipt of such a request, Sprint shall propose a commercially reasonable Monthly Recurring Charge for the new Pricing Bundle. The Parties will then meet to negotiate in good faith such request and response, it being understand that if the Parties are unable to agree to the applicable Monthly Recurring Charge within 60 days after Purchaser's request under this Section 2.1.4, and Purchaser still wishes to establish the new Pricing Bundle(s), Purchaser may treat the reasonableness of Sprint's proposed Monthly Recurring Charge as a dispute under the Agreement Once the Parties have established a new Pricing Bundle under this paragraph, such Pricing Bundle will be effective on the first day of the monthly billing cycle immediately following such establishment.
2.1.5. Price Protection
(a) | General. On August 4, 2010, the In-Service Date and every [***] anniversary of the In-Service Date during the Term (each, a “Benchmark Date”), the Parties will determine the Benchmark Retail Price - [***] (as defined in Section 2.1.5(f) below) and conduct the analysis set forth in this Section 2.1.5. For avoidance of doubt, this analysis will never be performed [***]. Rather, the calculations in this Section 2.1.5 will always be performed [***]. Further, in the event a reduction is triggered under [***] this Section 2.1.5 [***]. |
(b) | Adjustment Amount. In the event of any change in the [***] from the [***] determined as of the immediately preceding Benchmark Date, each Monthly Recurring Charge shall be modified in an amount equal to [***]; provided, however, that although there shall [***] adjustment under this provision, any [***] adjustment that [***] applied will be used to [***] any [***] adjustments until such time as the [***] of such [***] adjustments have been [***] (i.e. if there is [***] will be used to [***] has been [***]). In addition to the foregoing, there shall be [***] adjustment under this Section 2.1.5(b) as a result of a change in the [***] during the period commencing on August 4, 2010 and ending on the In Service Date unless the such change is [***] of the [***] as of August 4, 2010 and only by an amount equal to [***] of the adjustment that [***] apply under this Section 2.1.5(b). |
(c) | Implementation of Adjustments. The Parties will determine each Benchmark Retail Price [***] to be used to calculate the [***] and calculate the [***] within 30 days of each Benchmark Date. Any adjustments under this Section 2.1.5 will be prospective only and will be effective as of the first day of the first full billing cycle following the applicable Benchmark Date. For the Benchmark Dates that occur before the twelve (12) month anniversary of the In Service Date, any downward adjustment, if any, under Section 2.1.5 will not be applied until the end of such period, at which time, any such downward adjustments calculated during such period will be effective as of the first day of the first full billing cycle following the end of such period. For avoidance of doubt, the In Service Date is triggered by Purchaser's commercial launch of services using the PCS Service, but not by any testing or trials. |
(d) Limited Application of Adjustments. For purposes of clarification, any adjustment determined under this Section 2.1.5 will be used to adjust only the Monthly Recurring Charges for Handsets set forth in Section 2.1.1(a) of this Schedule 1.0 and any additional Monthly Recurring Charges for new Pricing Bundles that may be established pursuant to

(f) | If, absent the limitation under Section 2.1.5(e), an adjustment would result in a Monthly Recurring Charge of less than $[***] for [***] at Purchaser's then-effective volume tier in Table 1-1, prior to implementing such adjustment, Sprint may elect to either: (A) [***] of the adjustments to Monthly Recurring Charges for [***] Pricing Bundles in accordance with this Section 2.1.5; or (B) [***] such adjustments to the extent such adjustments would result in a monthly recurring charge of [***] than the applicable amounts from Table 1-5 (i.e. the Monthly Recurring Charge would thereafter be set at [***] Monthly Recurring Charge for each Pricing Bundle in effect as of the applicable Benchmarking Date). If Sprint elects to [***] any such adjustment, [***]. |
(g) | Sprint shall make its election under Section 2.1.5(f) within 30 days of the determination of the adjustment that that gives rise to the election. |

[***].
[***] means with respect to a Benchmark [***] Plan as of a Benchmark Date, the most recently published monthly charge for such Benchmark [***] Plan as of such Benchmark Date, plus any applicable fees and surcharges associated with such plan that are not included in the monthly charge.
