     TeleCorp, Tritel and AT&T Wireless Services Inc., a Delaware corporation,
entered an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Contribution (the
"Reorganization Agreement"), dated as of February 28, 2000.  To induce TeleCorp
to enter into the Reorganization Agreement, E.B. Martin Jr. and William Mounger,
II (each a "Stockholder", and together, the "Stockholders") executed a Voting
Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, the "Voting Agreement"), dated as of
February 28, 2000, among the Stockholders, Tritel and TeleCorp.  By executing
the Voting Agreement, the Stockholders agreed to vote the voting securities of

transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, and (b) against (i)
approval of any proposal made in opposition to or in competition with the

representations, warranties or other obligations or agreements of Tritel under
the Reorganization Agreement which would materially and adversely affect
TeleCorp or Tritel or their respective abilities to consummate the transactions
contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement.  Pursuant to the Voting Agreement
each stockholder granted an irrevocable limited proxy to the President and
Secretary of TeleCorp in connection with the foregoing.

     The purpose of the transaction was to assure the necessary approval by the
stockholders of Tritel of the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization
Agreement.  The securities of Tritel subject to the Voting Agreement constitute
a majority of the outstanding voting securities of Tritel.

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect

By executing the Voting Agreement, the Stockholders agreed to vote the voting
securities of Tritel beneficially owned by them (a) in favor of the approval of
the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, and (b) against
(i) approval of any proposal made in opposition to or in competition with the
transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, (ii) any merger,

covenants, representations, warranties or other obligations or agreements of
Tritel under the Reorganization Agreement which would materially and adversely
affect TeleCorp or Tritel or their respective abilities to consummate the
transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement.

     Additionally, by executing the Voting Agreement, (a) E.B. Martin Jr. agreed
that (other than pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement) he will not, and will

or indirectly.

     TeleCorp intends to consummate the business combination with Tritel as soon
as all conditions to consummation specified in the Reorganization Agreement are
satisfied.  It is currently contemplated that the closing will occur in the
fourth quarter of 2000.

     Except as set forth in Items 3, 4, 5 and 6, neither TeleCorp nor, to the
best knowledge of TeleCorp, any of its directors or executive officers has any

agreements and obligations hereunder will result in any breach or violation of
or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any term of any agreement,
judgment, injunction, order, decree, law, regulation or arrangement to which
such Shareholder is a party or by which such Shareholder (or any of his assets)
is bound, except for any such breach, violation, conflict or default which,
individually or in the aggregate, would not impair or adversely affect such
Shareholder's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

          2.   Restriction on Transfer.  Each Shareholder agrees that (other
               -----------------------
than pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement) he will not, and will not agree
to, sell, assign, dispose of, encumber, mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise
transfer (collectively, "Transfer') any Shares, including, without limitation,
tendering any of the shares in a tender offer.

          3.   Agreement to Vote of Each Shareholder.  Each Shareholder hereby
               -------------------------------------
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to vote or to cause to be voted all
Shares, to the extent the Shares carry the right to vote thereon, at the
Mississippi Stockholders Meeting and at any other annual or special meeting of
shareholders of Mississippi where any such proposal is submitted (a) in favor of
the Mississippi Proposals and (b) against (i) approval of any proposal made in
opposition to or in competition with the transactions contemplated by the
Reorganization Agreement, (ii) any merger, consolidation, sale of assets,
business combination, share exchange, reorganization or recapitalization of
Mississippi or any of its subsidiaries, with or involving any party other than
as contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, (iii) any liquidation or
winding up of Mississippi, (iv) any extraordinary dividend by Mississippi, (v)
any change in the capital structure of Mississippi (other than pursuant to the
Reorganization Agreement) and (vi) any other action that may reasonably be
expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or attempt to discourage the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement or
result in a breach of any of the covenants, representations, warranties or other
obligations or agreements of Mississippi under the Reorganization Agreement
which would materially and adversely affect Virginia or Mississippi or their
respective abilities to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Reorganization Agreement.

          4.   Granting of Proxy.  In furtherance of the terms and provisions of
               -----------------
this Agreement, each Shareholder hereby grants an irrevocable proxy (subject to
Section 10(b)), coupled with an interest, to the President and Secretary of
Virginia to vote all Shares beneficially

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

owned by such Shareholder in favor of the approval of the Mississippi Proposals
and against any of the matters specified in clause (b) of Section 3. Each
Shareholder hereby ratifies and approves of each and every action taken by
Virginia pursuant to the foregoing proxy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
requested by Virginia, each Shareholder will execute and deliver applicable
proxy material in furtherance of the provisions of Section 3.

          5.   Action in Shareholder Capacity Only.  Each Shareholder makes no
               -----------------------------------
agreement or understanding herein as director or officer of Mississippi.  Each
Shareholder signs solely in his capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner
of the Shares, and nothing herein shall limit or affect any actions taken in his
capacity as an officer or director of Mississippi.

          6.   Invalid Provisions.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be
               ------------------
invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability only, without
it affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

          7.   Executed in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in
               ------------------------
counterparts each of which shall be an original with the same effect as if the
signatures hereto and thereto were upon the same instrument.

          8.   Specific Performance.  The parties hereto agree that if for any
               --------------------
reason any Shareholder fails to perform any of his agreements or obligations
under this Agreement irreparable harm or injury to Virginia and Mississippi
would be caused with respect to which money damages would not be an adequate
remedy.  Accordingly, each Shareholder agrees that, in seeking to enforce this
Agreement against each Shareholder, each of Virginia and Mississippi shall be
entitled, in addition to any other remedy available at law, equity or otherwise,
to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief.

          9.   Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.  The Agreement shall
               -----------------------------------------
be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the domestic laws
of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict
of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other
jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction
other than the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees
that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or for
recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof brought by the
other party hereto or its successors or assigns may be brought and determined in
the courts of the State of Delaware, and each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and
in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense,
counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this
Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction
of the above-named courts for any reason, (b) that it or its property is exempt
or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process
commenced in such courts (whether through service of judgment, execution of
judgment, or otherwise), and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by the
applicable law, that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought
in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

is improper and (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be
enforced in or by such courts.

          10.  Amendments; Termination.  (a) This Agreement may not be modified,
               -----------------------
amended, altered or supplemented, except upon the execution and delivery of a
written agreement executed by all parties hereto.

          (b)  The provisions of this Agreement shall terminate upon the
earliest to occur of (i) the consummation of the Mergers, and (ii) the date
which is two years after the date hereof and (iii) the termination of the
Reorganization Agreement.

          (c)  For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Reorganization
Agreement" includes the Reorganization Agreement, as the same may be modified or
amended from time to time.

          11.  Additional Shares.  If, after the date hereof, any Shareholder
               -----------------
acquires beneficial ownership of any additional shares of capital stock of
Mississippi (any such shares, "Additional Shares"), including, without
limitation, upon exercise of any option, warrant or right to acquire Shares of
capital stock of Mississippi or through any stock dividend or stock split, the
provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Shares shall be applicable to
such Additional Shares as if such Additional Shares had been Shares as of the
date hereof.  The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be
effective with respect to Additional Shares without action by any person or
entity immediately upon the acquisition by any Shareholder of beneficial
ownership of such Additional Shares.

          12.  Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this Agreement shall
               ----------------------
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective legal successors (including, in the case of any Shareholder or any
other individual, any executors, administrators, estates, legal representatives
and heirs of such Shareholder or such individual) and permitted assigns;
provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no
- --------  -------
party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations, under this Agreement, without the consent of Virginia and
Mississippi, in the case of any Shareholder, the Shareholders and Mississippi,
in the case of Virginia, and the Shareholders and Virginia in the case of
Mississippi. Without limiting the scope or effect of the restrictions on
Transfer set forth in Section 2 hereof, each Shareholder agrees that this
Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to the Shares and shall be
binding upon any person or entity to which legal or beneficial ownership of such
Shares shall pass, whether by operation of law or otherwise.
