2011 Exhibit 10.50

1.2 Purpose. The Plan is established to supplement the benefits of any Participant whose retirement income under a Qualified Pension Plan is limited in accordance with Section 415 or 401(a)(17) of the Code or whose benefit under such a plan is reduced by his or her Deferred Compensation Plan Deferrals. The Plan is intended to restore such a Participant's overall retirement income to the level which would have been payable under the Qualified Pension Plan absent either such limitation under the Code or absent such deferrals. The Plan is further intended to facilitate the attraction and retention of senior level executives who have significant experience with a former employer prior to becoming employed by an Employer.

It is intended that the Plan qualify as an unfunded plan which is maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees and, to the extent applicable, an unfunded excess benefit plan, so as to qualify for the various applicable exceptions and exemptions to the requirements otherwise imposed by ERISA on employee pension benefit plans.

"Deferred Compensation Plan Deferrals" means the amount of compensation deferred by a Participant in the Sprint Executive Deferred Compensation Plan to the extent such compensation would have been compensation for purposes of determining a Participant’s benefit under the Qualified Pension Plan had the amount not been deferred; provided, however, that a Deferred Compensation Plan Deferral shall not include any amount deferred for which the Participant receives a pension make-up benefit as such term is defined in the Sprint Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.

"Gross Misconduct" occurs if the Committee determines that the Participant has engaged in a willful, deliberate, or gross act of commission or omission which is injurious to the finances or reputation of the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate.

"Involuntary Termination without Cause" means a Participant’s termination of employment from the Company and all Subsidiaries, if involuntary and not for reasons of Gross Misconduct, including but not limited to, termination due to a job elimination pursuant to a reduction-in-force.

“Separation from Service” means “termination of employment” or “separation from service” as defined under Section 409A of the Code. However, Separation from Service will occur when a Participant’s level of services drops to 21 percent or less of the average level of service provided by the Participant over the immediately preceding 36 month period (or if providing services for less than 36 months, such lesser period.) If a Participant’s status changes from an Employee to an independent contractor (other than as a member of the Board), or from an independent contractor (other than as a member of the board) to an Employee, the determination of the date of Separation from Service will take into account the services provided in both capacities.

"Subsidiary" means (a) a member of a controlled group of corporations of which an Employer is a member, (b) an unincorporated trade or business which is under common control with an Employer as determined in accordance with Section 414(c) of the Code or (c) a member of an affiliated service group of which an Employer is a member as determined in accordance with Section 414(m) of the Code. For purposes hereof, a "controlled group of corporations" means a controlled group of corporations as defined in Section 1563(a) of the Code, determined without regard to Sections 1563(a)(4) and 1563(e)(3)(C).

2.2 Construction. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms not defined in Section 2.1 shall have the meaning specified in the Qualified Pension Plan under which the Participant is entitled to a benefit (if defined therein). In addition, except when otherwise clearly indicated by the context, the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

3.1 Covered Employees. Any Employee who is not a member of a collective bargaining unit and whose benefits under a Qualified Pension Plan maintained by the Company are limited in accordance with section 415 or 401(a)(17) of the Code shall become a Participant in this Plan as of the date such benefits are first so limited. Also, any Employee whose Deferred Compensation Plan Deferrals cause a reduction in his or her benefit under the Qualified Pension Plan shall be a Participant in this Plan. An Employee whose employment with the Company and all of its Subsidiaries terminated before January 1, 1994, however, shall not be eligible to be a Participant herein.

3.2 Benefits Frozen. Accruals under the Plan ceased on December 31, 2005, for each Participant, except for any Participant specifically designated by the Employer to provide services to the Employer in connection with the local telecommunications division.

4.1 Computation of Benefit. The monthly amount of benefit restoration payable to a Participant under this Plan, when expressed in the form of a single life annuity beginning on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date, shall be equal to the excess of (a) over (b) where:

(a) equals the Participant's monthly retirement income benefit under the Qualified Pension Plan, payable in the form of a single life annuity beginning on such Participant's Normal Retirement Date, as determined under the terms and conditions of such plan, except that (i) such determination shall disregard the restrictions on retirement income benefits under such plan which are imposed in accordance with Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Code and (ii) compensation for purposes of such determination shall include any Deferred Compensation Plan Deferrals; and

(b) equals such Participant's actual monthly retirement income benefit under such Qualified Pension Plan, payable in the form of a single life annuity beginning on such Participant's Normal Retirement Date, as determined under the terms and conditions of such plan, including the restrictions on retirement income benefits under such plan which are imposed in accordance with sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Code and excluding any Deferred Compensation Plan Deferrals from compensation for purposes of such determination.

4.2 Vesting and Forfeiture for Cause. A Participant shall be vested in the benefit restoration payable under the Plan to the same degree that the Participant is vested in his or her retirement income benefits under the Qualified Pension Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, any vested supplemental retirement income benefits or survivor benefits payable under this Plan shall be forfeited, and a Participant, together with any of his or her beneficiaries, shall have no right to such benefits if: (a) such Participant has engaged in Gross Misconduct, or (b) the Participant, without the consent of the Committee, while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or after termination of such employment, becomes associated with, employed by, renders services to, or owns any interest in (other than any non-substantial interest, as determined by the Committee), any business that is in competition with the Company or with any business in which the Company

has a substantial interest as determined by the Committee. The restriction from competition after termination of employment described in the preceding sentence shall not apply to a Participant in the event he or she has an Involuntary Termination without Cause.

5.1 Recommendation of Participants for Mid-Career Pension Enhancement. Subject to the approval of the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer may recommend Participants who are Senior Vice President and above to receive a mid-career pension enhancement. Such recommendation shall be delivered, in writing, to the Committee and shall specify the following: (a) the identity of the Participant selected, (b) the number of additional years of service (based on the relevant business experience of the Participant with another employer prior to his or her employment with the Company or a Subsidiary) with which such Participant will be credited for the purpose of calculating benefits in accordance with the benefit formula under the Qualified Pension Plan, (c) the service requirements which a Participant must satisfy to be eligible for such benefits (if different than as described in Section 5.3) and (d) the conditions under which such benefits will be forfeited (if different than as described in Section 5.4).

5.2 Computation of Benefit. The monthly amount of any mid-career pension enhancement benefit payable to a Participant under this Plan, when expressed in the form of a single life annuity beginning on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date, shall be equal to the excess of (a) over (b) where:

(a) equals the Participant's monthly retirement income benefit under Section 4.1 of this Plan and the Qualified Pension Plan, payable in the form of a single life annuity beginning on such Participant's Normal Retirement Date, as determined under the terms and conditions of such plans, except that such determination under this Section 5.2(a) shall be made assuming that the Participant had additional years of credited service as specified in the recommendation under Section 5.1; and

(b) equals the sum of (i) such Participant's actual monthly retirement income benefit under Section 4.1 of this Plan and the Qualified Pension Plan, payable in the form of a single life annuity beginning on such Participant's Normal Retirement Date, as determined under the terms and conditions of such plans, but without assuming the additional years

of credited service as specified in the recommendation under Section 5.1 and (ii) the actuarial equivalent amount, expressed as a single life annuity beginning on such Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, received by such Participant from any pension plans of his or her previous employers, if any, whether qualified under Section 401 of the Code or not.

5.3 Service Requirements. Unless provided otherwise in the recommendation, the number of additional years of service specified in the recommendation shall be credited to a Participant at the rate of one additional year of service for each completed year of service with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries.

5.4 Forfeiture. Unless provided otherwise in the recommendation, mid-career pension enhancement benefits shall be forfeited, and a Participant, together with any of his or her beneficiaries, shall have no right to such benefits if:

(b) the Participant, without the consent of the Committee, while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or after termination of such employment, becomes associated with, employed by, renders services to, or owns any interest in (other than any non-substantial interest, as determined by the Committee), any business that is in competition with the Company or with any business in which the Company has a substantial interest as determined by the Committee (such restriction from competition after termination of employment shall not apply to a Participant in the event he or she has an Involuntary Termination without Cause); or

(c) the Participant terminates employment with the Company and all of its Subsidiaries prior to age 60, unless the Participant terminates such employment for reasons of (i) death, (ii) total and permanent disability, or (iii) Involuntary Termination without Cause.

The provisions of Section 5 are not applicable to a Participant entering the Plan on or after April 19, 2005, or any Participant who has not been granted a mid-career pension enhancement pursuant to Section 5 before April 19, 2005.

6.1 Benefits not Subject to §409A. This Section 6 provides the rules for benefit commencement dates and forms of payment for Plan benefits accrued and vested before January 1, 2005 as described in §1.409A-6(a) of the Treasury Regulations.

6.2 Benefit Commencement Date. Subject to Section 10.6 and the following sentence, benefits payable to a Participant under the Plan shall commence as of the same annuity starting date as the benefits under the Qualified Pension Plan to which such benefits relate. In addition, mid-career pension enhancement benefits payable under the Plan will not commence until the Participant has cooperated, to the satisfaction of the Committee, in disclosing the benefits he or she will receive from any pension plans of a previous employer as described in Section 5.2(b)(ii).

(ii) if the Participant is married as of his or her annuity starting date, and such date is before February 1, 2002, in the form of an annuity for the Participant’s life with a survivor annuity for the life of the Participant’s spouse where the survivor annuity is 50% of the amount of the annuity payable during

(b) in any form provided under the Qualified Pension Plan which the Participant elects. Such election must be made by the Participant in writing and will only be effective if it is received by the Committee no later than one year prior to the Participant’s annuity starting date for benefits under the Qualified Pension Plan. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, a married participant who has not made an election under this paragraph (b) may elect, before his or her annuity starting date and during the period between the dates of January 1, 2002 through January 31, 2002, to elect to receive his benefit in the form of an annuity for the Participant’s life with a survivor annuity for the life of the Participant’s spouse where the survivor annuity is 50% of the amount of the annuity payable during the joint lives of the Participant and the Participant’s spouse.

(c) The amount payable under an optional form shall be subject to application of the same actuarial equivalence factors as are applicable to the amount payable under the Qualified Pension Plan to which the benefit under this Plan relates.

7.1 Benefits Subject to §409A. This Section 7 provides the rules for benefit commencement dates and forms of payment for Plan benefits accrued or vested after December 31, 2004 as described in §1.409A-6(a) of the Treasury Regulations, and commencing as of a date on or after January 1, 2009.

Under no circumstances, however, may amounts scheduled to be paid in a given calendar year actually be paid after the later of (i) December 31^st of that calendar year, or (ii) the 15^th day of the third month following the scheduled payment date.

7.4 Delay for Specified Employees. Notwithstanding the benefit commencement date specified in Section 7.2, and effective for benefits payable under this Section 7 with a benefit commencement date after December 31, 2004, benefits payable to a Participant who is a “specified employee” will be subject to a “six-month payment delay.” A “six-month payment delay” means the required delay in payment to a Participant who is a “specified employee” of amounts subject to Section 409A that are paid upon Separation from Service, pursuant to Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. When a “six-month payment delay” is required, any benefit payment otherwise payable before the date which is six months after the date of Separation from Service, will be held and distributed as soon as practicable after the “six-month payment delay” but in no event later than 90 days after that delay or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death. The term “specified employee” shall have the meaning ascribed to this term under Section 409A of the Code.

equivalent of a Participant’s vested benefits under this Section 7 is less than $15,000, such benefits will be paid in a lump sum within 60 days after such Separation from Service, provided, that such payment results in the termination and liquidation of the entirety of such Participant’s interest under the Plan, including all agreements, methods, programs or other arrangements which would be aggregated with the Plan under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(c)(2).

(a) If a Participant dies on or after his or her annuity starting date with respect to his or her benefits under Section 6 that are not subject to §409A, the survivor benefits payable under the Plan with respect to such benefits, if any, shall be payable in accordance with the form of distribution in effect for such Participant under the Plan as of the date of his or her death.

(b) If a Participant dies on or after his or her annuity starting date with respect to his or her benefits under Section 7 that are subject to §409A, the survivor benefits payable under the Plan with respect to such benefits, if any, shall be payable in accordance with the form of distribution in effect for such Participant under the Plan as of the date of his or her death.

8.2 Computation of Surviving Spouse Benefit in Event of Participant’s Death Before Annuity Starting Date. If a Participant dies before his or her annuity starting date, and such Participant is survived by a spouse to whom he or she was married for at least one year immediately prior to the date of such Participant's death, such surviving spouse shall be entitled to a survivor benefit hereunder. Any such survivor benefit payable to a Participant’s spouse shall be equal to the excess of (a) over (b) where:

(a) equals the monthly amount of the survivor benefit payable to the Participant's surviving spouse under the Qualified Pension Plan, as determined under the terms and conditions of such plan, except that (i) such determination, computed as described in Section 4.1, shall disregard the restrictions under such plan which are imposed in accordance with Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Code and shall include as compensation any Deferred Compensation Plan Deferrals, and (ii) such determination shall include any additional years of credited service specified in Section 5.1 for such Participant computed as described in Section 5.2; and

(b) equals the sum of (i) the monthly amount of the survivor benefit which is actually paid to such surviving spouse from such Qualified Pension Plan, as determined under the terms and conditions of such plan, including the restrictions under such plan which are imposed in accordance with sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Code and excluding any Deferred Compensation Plan Deferrals and any additional years of credited service specified in Section 5.1 for such Participant and (ii) for Participants entitled to a mid-career pension enhancement under Section 5, the monthly amount of the survivor benefit which is actually paid to such surviving spouse from any pension plan of the Participant’s previous employers, if any, whether qualified under Section 401 of the Code or not.

In the event the Participant dies after the annuity starting date of a portion of his or her benefit (such as the portion of the benefit under Section 7), but before the annuity starting date of a portion of his or her benefit (such as the portion of the benefit under Section 6), any benefit due the surviving spouse for the portion of the benefit for which the annuity starting date has not occurred will be calculated as described above for such portion.

(a) With respect to the Surviving Spouse benefits attributable to benefits accrued and vested before January 1, 2005 as described in §1.409A-6(a) of the Treasury Regulations (i.e., that are not subject to §409A), subject to Section 10.6, such survivor benefit shall commence as of the same date that the survivor benefit to such spouse under the Qualified Pension Plan begins and shall be payable in the form of a single life annuity.

Regulations (i.e., that are subject to §409A) and commencing as of a date on or after January 1, 2009, subject to Section 7.5, such survivor benefit shall commence as of the first day of the month following the Participant’s death and shall be payable in the form of a single life annuity.

9.1 The Committee and the Plan Administrator. The Plan will be administered by a Committee consisting of not less than three persons designated from time to time by the Board. The Committee shall appoint a Plan Administrator to assist the Committee in the Plan’s administration. The Plan Administrator shall be responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Plan and shall have other powers and responsibilities delegated to him or her by the Committee. The Committee may authorize the Plan Administrator to designate agents to carry out certain of his or her responsibilities.

(a) to, in its sole discretion, make decisions and take any action with respect to questions arising in connection with the Plan, including but not limited to, the construction and interpretation of the Plan and to make equitable adjustments for any mistakes or errors made in the administration of the Plan;

(b) to, in its sole discretion, determine all questions arising in the administration of the Plan, including the power to determine the rights of Participants and their beneficiaries and the amount of their respective interests;

9.3 Coordination of Benefit payments. The Committee shall take such action as it deems necessary or appropriate to establish procedures to coordinate the payment of benefits under the Plan with the payment of the corresponding benefits under the Qualified Pension Plan to which the benefits payable hereunder relate.

9.4 Committee Actions. The Committee shall act by the vote or concurrence of the majority of its members and shall maintain a written record of its decisions and actions. Resolutions may be adopted or other action may be taken without a meeting upon the unanimous written consent of the Committee. No member of the Committee shall have any personal liability to anyone, either as such member or as an individual, for anything done or omitted to be done in good faith in carrying out the provisions of the Plan.

9.5 Indemnification. The Employers will indemnify and hold harmless the directors and officers of the Employers, and of all Subsidiaries, the members of the Committee and all other Employees of the Employers, or of any Subsidiary, from any liability, loss, cost or damage that such individuals may incur in the exercise and performance of their duties and powers hereunder, except as may result from their own gross negligence or willful default. The Employers also will assume the defense of any and all actions, suits or proceedings brought or advanced by any person (other than an Employer) against any such individual arising under the Plan.

9.6 Claim for Benefits. Any claim for benefits under this Plan shall be made in writing to the Plan Administrator. If a claim for benefits is wholly or partially denied, the Plan Administrator shall so notify the Participant or beneficiary within 90 days after receipt of the claim. The notice of denial shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Participant or beneficiary and shall contain (a) the specific reason or reasons for denial of the claim, (b) specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the denial is based, (c) a description of any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim together with an explanation of why such material or information is necessary and (d) an explanation of the claims review procedure. The

9.7 Review of Claim. Within 60 days after the receipt by the Participant or beneficiary of notice of denial of a claim, the Participant or beneficiary may (a) file a request with the Committee that it conduct a full and fair review of the denial of the claim, (b) review pertinent documents and (c) submit questions and comments to the Committee in writing.

9.8 Decision After Review. Within 60 days after the receipt of a request for review under Section 9.7, the Committee, or its delegate, shall deliver to the Participant or beneficiary a written decision with respect to the claim, except that if there are special circumstances (such as the need to hold a hearing) which require more time for processing, the 60-day period shall be extended to 120 days upon notice to the Participant or beneficiary to that effect. The decision shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Participant or beneficiary and shall (a) include the specific reason or reasons for the decision and (b) contain a specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the decision is based.

10.3 Severability. In the event that any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, any illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan. The Plan shall be construed and enforced, however, as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted, and the Company shall have the privilege to correct and remedy such questions of illegality or invalidity by amendment as provided in the Plan.

10.4 Trust. The Employers shall make all distributions under this Plan. Alternatively, the Company may, on behalf of itself and the other Employers, transfer assets to a trust established with an independent trustee to make distributions under the Plan. The assets so held in such trust shall remain the general assets of the Company which at all times shall be subject to the rights and claims of the Company's general creditors in accordance with the terms of the trust. The rights of Participants and their beneficiaries under this Plan and any such trust shall be exclusively unsecured contractual rights. No Participant or beneficiary shall have any right, title or interest whatsoever in the trust.

(a) This Plan, to the extent considered an unfunded deferred compensation plan for a select group of management or highly compensated employees which is not an excess benefit plan, is fully exempt from Titles II, III and IV of ERISA. However, this Plan, to the

10.6 Lump Sum Cash Outs. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, direct that the actuarial equivalent of an individual's benefits under Section 6 or Section 8.3(a) payable hereunder be paid to such individual in a lump sum payment on such date as the Committee may determine. Such actuarial equivalent amount shall be determined in the same manner that the amount of an involuntary cash out distribution is computed under the Qualified Pension Plan to which the benefits payable hereunder relate. In no event, however, shall lump sum payments under this Section 10.6 be limited by the $3,500 ceiling (adjusted for inflation) on involuntary cash out distributions set forth in such Qualified Pension Plan. The payment of an immediate lump sum amount under this Section 10.6 shall be a complete discharge of any obligations to such individual and his or her beneficiaries hereunder.

10.7 Incapacity of Benefit recipient. In the event any benefits (including survivor benefits) hereunder are payable to an individual who is physically or mentally incompetent to receive such payment, such benefits shall be paid on such individual's behalf to the same party to whom the corresponding benefits from the Qualified Pension Plan are paid.

10.8 Effect on Qualified Retirement Plans. Amounts credited or paid under this Plan shall not be considered to be compensation for purposes of the Qualified Pension Plans or any other qualified retirement plan maintained by an Employer.

10.9 Withholding of Taxes. An Employer, or a person designated by the Employer, will withhold any required taxes related to the vesting of accrued benefits or the payment of supplemental retirement income or survivor benefits hereunder. In addition, an Employer may

withhold such sum as the Employer or such person may reasonably estimate to be necessary to cover taxes for which the Employer or such person may be liable and which may be assessed with regard to such payment of supplemental retirement income or survivor benefits.

10.10 Amendments. The Board may amend this Plan in its sole discretion. Any such amendment shall be effective at such date as the Board may determine, except that no such amendment, other than an amendment of a minor nature or permitted in accordance with the terms of the trust, if any, described in Section 10.4, may apply to any period prior to the announcement of the amendment. The Committee may also amend the Plan, both retroactively and prospectively, but only to make minor changes which are technical or administrative in nature.

10.11 Plan Termination. The Board may at any time terminate this Plan in whole or in part in which case no further benefits shall accrue hereunder with respect to any affected Participant. If an Employer ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company, the participation in this Plan of all Participants employed by that Employer will terminate and no further benefits for such Participants shall accrue hereunder.

10.12 Non Alienation. Subject to Section 10.13, no right or benefit under the Plan shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void. No right or benefit under the Plan shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled to such benefits, except such claims as may be made by the Company or any other Employer.

10.13 Qualified Domestic Relations Orders. Section 10.12 shall not apply to the creation, assignment or recognition of a right to the benefit under the Plan pursuant to a “domestic relations order” (as defined in Section 206(d)(3)(B)(ii) of ERISA) which meets the requirements of a “qualified domestic relations order” (as defined in Section 206(d)(3)(B)(i) of ERISA) and which is consistent with the nature of benefits provided under the Plan.

10.14 Notices. Notices, reports and statements to be given, made or delivered to a Participant shall be deemed duly given, made or delivered, when addressed to the Participant, and delivered by ordinary mail, or by Employer mail, to such Participant's business address or resident address on the employee information system of the Employer. All notices required to be given by a Participant or beneficiary shall be given on a form provided for the purpose and shall be deemed received when delivered to the Committee or such Participant's local human resources department.
