11 5/8% SENIOR SUBORDINATED DISCOUNT NOTES DUE 2009
FOR OUR REGISTERED
11 5/8% SENIOR SUBORDINATED DISCOUNT NOTES DUE 2009
We hereby offer upon the terms and conditions described in this prospectus and
the accompanying Letter of Transmittal (which together constitute the "Exchange
Offer") to exchange all of our outstanding and unregistered 11 5/8% Senior

Notes except that the Exchange Notes will be registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Notes will not contain certain transfer
restrictions, registration rights and terms providing for an increase in the
interest rate on the Old Notes under certain events relating to registration of
the Exchange Notes. The Exchange Notes will evidence the same debt as the Old
Notes and will be issued under, and entitled to the same benefits of, the
indenture governing the Old Notes. We are making the Exchange Offer in order to
satisfy certain contractual obligations. The Exchange Notes and the Old Notes
are sometimes collectively referred to as the "Notes."

transactions. References to our domestic markets and Pops mean our markets and
Pops in the continental United States and not in Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin

TeleCorp
We intend to become a leading provider of digital wireless communications
services in targeted markets in the south-central and northeast United States
and in Puerto Rico. We are the exclusive provider of facilities-based mobile
wireless communications services for AT&T in our markets. TeleCorp was founded
in 1996 by Gerald T. Vento, Thomas H. Sullivan and certain private equity
investors to acquire strategic PCS licenses. In 1998, we entered into a venture
with AT&T in which AT&T contributed certain PCS licenses to us in exchange for
an equity interest in our company. In addition, we have the right to use the
AT&T brand name and logo together with our own brand name and logo, giving equal
emphasis to each. We are AT&T's preferred roaming partner in our markets and
receive preferred long distance rates from AT&T.
Our PCS licenses cover approximately 16.0 million Pops, including those in the
major population centers of New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Memphis,
Tennessee, Little Rock, Arkansas, Manchester, Concord and Nashua, New Hampshire,
Worcester, Massachusetts and San Juan, Puerto Rico, as well as vacation
destinations such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Cape Cod and Martha's
Vineyard. Our markets have attractive economic and demographic characteristics
and are experiencing strong growth in use of wireless services. These markets,
which attract over 24 million visitors per year, are major roaming markets for
AT&T's customers.
We have successfully launched our services in 14 markets, including all of our
major domestic markets. Our launched network covers approximately 40% of our
domestic licensed Pops, and by year-end 1999 we expect our network will cover
approximately 50% of our total licensed Pops. We have a strong distribution
presence in our launched markets with 22 company-owned stores and more than 140
retail outlets where customers can buy our services. Additionally, we market our
services through business-to-business representatives, telemarketing and the
Internet.
Our goal is to provide our customers with simple, easy-to-use wireless
services with coverage across the nation, superior call quality, personalized
customer care and competitive pricing in the markets we serve. We believe that,
as an AT&T affiliate, we will attract customers through the national brand and
coast-to-coast roaming provided by AT&T and its roaming partners. We have also
entered into an agreement with Triton PCS and Tritel Communications, two other
companies similarly affiliated with AT&T, to adopt SunCom as a common regional
brand that is co-branded with AT&T, giving equal emphasis to each. We and the
other SunCom companies are establishing the SunCom brand as a basis for building
a strong regional presence with a service area covering approximately 43.0
million Pops.

Strategic Alliance with AT&T
To rapidly develop its PCS markets, AT&T has focused on constructing its own
network in selected cities and has entered into agreements with certain
independent wireless operators, such as us and other affiliates, to construct
and operate PCS networks in other markets.
Our strategic alliance with AT&T provides us with many business, operational
and marketing advantages, including:
. Brand. We market our wireless services to our customers giving equal
emphasis to the SunCom and AT&T brand names and logos. Our market
research indicates that association with the AT&T brand name
significantly increases the likelihood that potential customers will
purchase our wireless communications services.
. Exclusivity. We are AT&T's exclusive provider of facilities-based mobile
wireless communications services in our covered markets, and we
participate with AT&T in national programs. We will also work with AT&T
to provide wireless services bundled with other communications services,
such as their P-Net (Personal Network) program. We have entered into an
agreement whereby AT&T provides long distance services to us at preferred
rates.
. Roaming. We are the preferred roaming partner for AT&T's digital
customers who roam into our covered markets. We expect to benefit from
growth in roaming traffic as AT&T's customers take advantage of its
"Digital One Rate" plans while traveling in our markets. AT&T has
recently experienced significant growth in roaming traffic in our
markets. With the use of advanced tri-mode handsets, which transition
between PCS and cellular frequencies, our customers have access to coast-
to-coast coverage through our agreements with AT&T, which provide us with
the benefits of AT&T's roaming agreements with third party carriers.
These agreements, together with AT&T's wireless network, cover
approximately 98% of the U.S. population, including in-region roaming
coverage in all of our covered markets. We believe this coast-to-coast
coverage provides a significant advantage over PCS competitors in our
markets, and it allows us to offer competitive pricing plans similar to
AT&T's Digital One Rate plans.
. Products and Services. We receive preferred terms on certain products and
services, including handsets, infrastructure equipment and back office
support from companies who provide these products and services to AT&T.
For example, we have arrangements with Lucent Technologies, Ericsson and
Nokia to supply us with handsets, mobile telephone equipment, software
and services at preferred prices.
. Marketing. We benefit from AT&T's nationwide marketing and advertising
campaigns, including the success of AT&T's Digital One Rate plans in the
marketing of our own national SunRate plans. In addition, we are working
with AT&T's national sales representatives to jointly market our wireless
services to AT&T corporate customers located in our markets.
Competitive Strengths
In addition to the advantages provided by our strategic alliance with AT&T, we
have the following competitive strengths:
Attractive Market Footprint. Our markets have favorable demographic
characteristics for wireless communications services, and we believe our markets
are strategically important to AT&T's nationwide footprint.
. Our markets include major population and business centers and vacation
destinations.
. We believe our markets, along with those of the other SunCom companies,
are important to AT&T's national wireless strategy, particularly the
success of its Digital One Rate plans, because they represent significant
AT&T roaming markets.
. According to Kagan, the average population density in our markets is
approximately 38% above the national average. Relatively high population
density allows us to cover more people with a lower level of network
infrastructure investment.
-2-
<PAGE>
Active Commercial Operations. Since late December 1998, we have successfully
launched our services in 14 of our markets, including all of our major domestic
markets.
. We cover approximately 4.7 million Pops in our launched markets, which
represent approximately 40% of our licensed domestic Pops.
. We have 22 company-owned stores and over 140 retail outlets where
customers can buy our services, such as Office Depot, Staples, Best Buy
and Office Max.
. We have established the SunCom brand name and logo which we use with
equal emphasis with the AT&T brand name and logo in our marketing
efforts. We and the other SunCom companies are reinforcing SunCom as a
strong local brand with television, radio, and print advertisements in
all our launched markets.
. We developed our marketing strategy based upon extensive research in our
markets and created service packages designed to meet prospective
customers' needs. We offer easy-to-understand rate plans and extensive
coverage areas. We also offer flexible pricing options such as pooled
rate plans, pre-pay plans and our national SunRate plans.
Strong Capital Base. We have committed capital of approximately $1.3 billion,
consisting of the following:
. up to $525.0 million of borrowings under our senior credit facilities
provided by a syndicate of banks led by The Chase Manhattan Bank, TD
Securities (USA) Inc. and Bankers Trust Company;
. approximately $327.6 million of gross proceeds from the offering of the
Old Notes;
. $55.0 million of vendor financing provided by Lucent, with up to an
additional $65.0 million available for the development of new markets;
. $205.3 million of irrevocable equity commitments from AT&T and entities
managed by Chase Capital Partners, Desai Capital Management Incorporated,
Hoak Capital Corporation, J.H. Whitney & Co., M/C Partners, Entergy
Corporation, Northwood Ventures LLC, One Liberty Ventures LLC and Toronto
Dominion Capital (USA) Inc.; and
. $148.0 million of equity issued in exchange for licenses contributed to
us and related agreements.
Superior Technology. We chose to build our network using TDMA technology.
TDMA is the technology used by AT&T, and therefore our network is compatible
with AT&T's and other TDMA networks.
. TDMA technology allows enhanced features and services relative to analog
cellular service, including extended battery life, integrated voicemail,
paging, fax and e-mail delivery, enhanced voice privacy and short-
messaging capability.
. Investment in TDMA product development has led to the development of an
advanced generation of handsets capable of delivering stand-by battery
life of up to 14 days. We believe that wireless users place great value
on the convenience and reliability afforded by this technological
advance.
. TDMA provides high network quality and in-building penetration.
. TDMA provides network capacity at least three times greater than existing
analog cellular networks, which results in operating cost advantages.
. Two of the top three wireless communications companies in the United
States, based on number of customers, use TDMA technology. The increased
volume of TDMA users has driven down handset prices and has increased the
importance of TDMA as an industry standard.
Experienced and Incentivized Management. We have a management team with a
high level of experience in the wireless communications industry. Our 14 member
senior management team has an average of ten years of experience with wireless
leaders such as AT&T, Bell Atlantic, BellSouth, SBC Communications, ALLTEL and
Sprint PCS(R).
-3-
<PAGE>
. Mr. Vento, our co-founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our
Board of Directors, has 20 years of experience in communications and
previously served as Chief Executive Officer of Sprint Spectrum(TM)/APC,
leading the development of the first PCS network launched in North
America.
. Mr. Sullivan, our co-founder, Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, is experienced in the wireless industry, having
formerly served as President of TeleCorp Holding, our predecessor
company, and co-head of the telecommunications law practice at McDermott,
Will & Emery.
. Julie Dobson, our Chief Operating Officer, has extensive operating
experience in the telecommunications industry, including 18 years at Bell
Atlantic, most recently as President of the New York region of Bell
Atlantic Mobile Systems.
. Our senior management team has substantial experience developing PCS
networks in several markets using the three competing PCS technology
standards of TDMA, CDMA and GSM.
. Our senior management team owns approximately 14% of our common stock.
Business Strategy
Our formula for success is to focus on providing our customers with superior
coast-to-coast and in-market coverage, enhanced value at low cost, quality
customer care and superior network clarity.
Provide Superior Coast-to-Coast and In-Market Coverage. Our market research
indicates that scope and quality of coverage are extremely important to
customers in their choice of a wireless service provider. We have designed
extensive local calling areas, and we offer coast-to-coast coverage through our
arrangements with AT&T and its roaming partners. Our network covers those areas
where people are most likely to take advantage of wireless coverage, such as
suburbs, metropolitan areas and vacation locations: the places where they live,
work, and play. Through the use of tri-mode handsets, we offer our customers a
large in-market footprint and coast-to-coast roaming, providing them with
reliable, quality service.
Provide Enhanced Value at Low Cost. We offer our customers advanced services
and features at competitive prices. Our pricing plans are designed to promote
the use of wireless services by enhancing the value of our services to our
customers. We include usage enhancing features such as call waiting, three-way
conference calling, and short message service in our basic packages. We market
our service with a simple, all-in-one focus: digital phone, pager and voice
mail. We offer our customers affordable, simple calling plans, and we take
advantage of the coast-to-coast reach of AT&T and its roaming partners. In May
1998, AT&T introduced Digital One Rate, a suite of rate plans that has caused a
redefinition of local service areas in the U.S. wireless marketplace. These
simplified rate plans allow a customer to purchase a large "bucket" of minutes
per month for a low fixed price. These minutes can generally be used throughout
the United States without paying additional roaming fees or long distance
charges. Our national SunRate plans are similar to AT&T's Digital One Rate
plans. We believe we can offer competitive services because of the cost
advantages provided by our agreements with AT&T and the other SunCom companies,
the cost-effective characteristics of TDMA and our centralized administrative
functions and efficient distribution.
Deliver Quality Customer Care. We believe that superior customer service is
a critical element in attracting and retaining customers. Our marketing strategy
is designed to meet the needs of four primary market segments: corporate
accounts, current wireless users, those with the intent to purchase wireless
service within six months and pre-paid subscribers. We serve our customers from
our state-of-the-art facility in Memphis, Tennessee, which houses our customer
service, collections and anti-fraud personnel. Convergys, a leading provider of
outsourced call center services, provides backup call center support and
bilingual customer service from two facilities in Florida. We have implemented a
"one call resolution" approach to customer care through the use of customer
support tools such as an advanced diagnostic mechanism and access to online
reference information. We are developing a state-of-the-art data warehouse to
provide timely access to critical business information that can be used to
provide customers with desired services, such as real-time billing and automated
notification of remaining account balances. Our pre-paid users hear a
"whispered" announcement of time remaining in their account before each call
they place, which allows them to control usage and reduce balance inquiries to
customer service. In addition, we emphasize proactive and timely customer
service, including welcome packages and anniversary calls. Our Internet site
provides our customers with access to new service information giving us an
additional source of contact with our customers. Finally, we support our
customer care initiatives through employee compensation plans based on
subscriber quotas and retention.
Offer Superior Network Clarity. We are committed to making the capital
investment required to develop a superior network. We intend to invest
approximately $50 per covered Pop for the construction of our network, which we
believe will ensure consistent quality performance and result in a high level of
customer satisfaction. Our capital investment is designed to provide a
-4-
<PAGE>
highly reliable network as measured by performance factors such as percentage of
call completion and number of dropped calls. We maintain a state-of-the-art
network operations center and, to ensure continuous monitoring and maintenance
of our network, we have a disaster recovery plan.
Recent Developments
We participated in the FCC's reauction of C-Block licenses for additional
spectrum through Viper Wireless, a subsidiary formed for this purpose. On April
20, 1999, the FCC announced that the reauction ended, and Viper Wireless was the
high bidder for 15 MHz licenses in New Orleans, Houma and Alexandria, Louisiana,
San Juan, Puerto Rico and Jackson, Tennessee. Viper Wireless was also the high
bidder for a 30 MHz license in Beaumont, Texas. AT&T and certain of our cash
equity investors have committed an aggregate of approximately $32.3 million in
exchange for additional shares of our preferred and common stock in the event
Viper Wireless is ultimately awarded these licenses. AT&T and the investors
funded approximately $6.5 million of their commitment on May 14, 1999, and
approximately $25.8 million will be funded when we make payments to the FCC with
respect to these licenses, or if the FCC does not refund amounts we paid to them
as deposits in connection with the reauction within 180 days of the date of
deposit. On June 3, 1999, a petition was filed by certain secured creditors of
DCR PCS, Inc. and Pocket Communications Inc. against the application of Viper
Wireless for the Houma and New Orleans licenses. The petition seeks deferral of
the grant of these licenses to Viper Wireless until an appeal by the secured
creditors of DCR PCS and Pocket Communications has been resolved or, in the
alternative, a condition noting that a pre-existing claim to the licenses may
exist if the secured creditors of DCR PCS and Pocket Communications are
successful in that appeal. The appeal seeks review of the bankruptcy court's
ruling concerning DCR PCS and Pocket Communications permitting DCR PCS to file
its election notice, which ultimately resulted in the return of these licenses
to the FCC, over the objection of the secured creditors of DCR PCS and Pocket
Communications. Viper Wireless filed an opposition to the petition on June 15,
1999. TeleCorp Holding owns 85% of Viper Wireless, and Mr. Vento and Mr.
Sullivan together own the remaining 15%. Mr. Vento and Mr. Sullivan together
have voting control over Viper Wireless.
On April 20, 1999, we completed the acquisition of 10 MHz F-Block PCS licenses
covering the Baton Rouge, Houma, Hammond and Lafayette, Louisiana BTAs from
Digital PCS. As consideration for these licenses, we issued to Digital PCS $2.3
million of our common and preferred stock, paid Digital PCS approximately $0.3
million in reimbursement of interest paid on U.S. government debt related to the
license and assumed $4.1 million of debt owed to the U.S. government related to
these licenses. This debt is shown on our balance sheet net of a discount of
$0.7 million reflecting the below market interest rate on the debt. These
licenses cover approximately 1.6 million Pops, including 1.2 million Pops in
Baton Rouge and Lafayette covered by licenses we already owned. These licenses
also cover areas contiguous to our existing licensed area, including travel
corridors, which provide us with opportunities to expand our covered area.
On May 25, 1999, we completed the acquisition of a 20 MHz A-Block PCS license
and related assets covering the San Juan MTA from AT&T. On May 24, 1999, we sold
to AT&T $40.0 million of our preferred stock. On May 25, 1999, we purchased the
license and related assets from AT&T for $95.0 million in cash. In addition, we
reimbursed AT&T $3.2 million for microwave relocation and $1.5 million for other
expenses it incurred in connection with the acquisition. This license covers
approximately 4.0 million Pops in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
On June 2, 1999, we completed the acquisition of 15 MHz C-Block PCS licenses
covering the Alexandria, Lake Charles and Monroe, Louisiana BTAs from Wireless
2000. As consideration for these licenses, we issued to Wireless 2000
approximately $0.4 million of common and preferred stock, paid Wireless 2000
$0.2 million for its costs for microwave relocation related to the Monroe
license, $0.4 million in reimbursement of interest paid on government debt
related to the license and assumed $7.4 million of debt owed to the U.S.
government related to these licenses. This debt is shown on our balance sheet
net of a discount of $1.3 million reflecting the below market interest rate on
the debt. These licenses cover approximately 0.8 million Pops. These licenses
also cover areas contiguous to our existing licensed area, including travel
corridors, which provide us with opportunities to expand our covered area. We
have no present intention to develop the markets covered by the Alexandria and
Monroe licenses.
Our agreements with AT&T were extended to cover these markets upon the closing
of the Louisiana and Puerto Rico acquisitions, except for a portion of the
Monroe BTA.
Network Development and Financing Plan
We began commercial operations in December 1998, and we have launched our
services in each of our major domestic markets. Our network now covers
approximately 40% of our domestic licensed Pops. We expect to launch our Puerto
Rico market during the third quarter of 1999.

We estimate that our total capital requirements from our inception until our
network is substantially built out will be approximately $1.2 billion. These
requirements include license acquisition costs, capital expenditures for the
network construction, operating cash flow losses and other working capital
costs, debt service and closing fees and expenses. These requirements have
been, and will be, funded by a variety of sources, including cash equity, the
net proceeds from the offering of the Old Notes, vendor financing and borrowings
under our senior credit facilities.
Substantially all of our operations are conducted through TeleCorp
Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Mr. Vento and Mr. Sullivan provide
supervisory managerial services under a management agreement between TeleCorp
and TeleCorp Management Corp.
We are a Delaware corporation and our principal executive offices are at 1010
N. Glebe Road, Suite 800, Arlington, Virginia 22201. The telephone number at
our executive offices is (703) 236-1100. We maintain a website at

THE EXCHANGE OFFER
The Exchange Offer...... We are offering to exchange $1,000 principal amount of
the Exchange Notes for each $1,000 principal amount of
the Old Notes. As of the date hereof, $575.0 million
aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Old Notes
are outstanding. The terms of the Exchange Notes are
substantially the same as the terms of the Old Notes
except that the Exchange Notes will be registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
Exchange Notes will not contain certain transfer
restrictions, registration rights and terms providing
for us to pay liquidated damages to holders of the Old
Notes under certain events relating to registration of
the Exchange Notes.
Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC, as
set forth in no-action letters issued to certain third
parties unrelated to us in other transactions, we
believe that Exchange Notes issued in the Exchange
Offer in exchange for Old Notes may be offered for
resale, resold or otherwise transferred by holders of
such Exchange Notes, other than any holder which is our
"affiliate" within the meaning of Rule 405 under the
Securities Act, or a broker-dealer who purchased Old
Notes directly from us to resell under Rule 144A or any
other available exemption promulgated under the
Securities Act, without compliance with the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of
the Securities Act, so long as such Exchange Notes are
acquired in the ordinary course of the business of such
holders and such holders have no arrangement with any
person to engage in a distribution of Exchange Notes.
However, the SEC has not considered the Exchange Offer
in the context of a no-action letter and we cannot be
sure that the staff of the SEC would make a similar
determination with respect to the Exchange Offer as in
such other circumstances. Further, each holder, other
than a broker-dealer, must acknowledge that it is not
engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a
distribution of the Exchange Notes and has no
arrangement or understanding to participate in a
distribution of Exchange Notes. Each broker-dealer
that receives the Exchange Notes for its own account in
the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will comply
with the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act in connection with any resale of such
Exchange Notes. Broker-dealers who acquired Old Notes
directly from us and not as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities may not rely on
the staff's interpretations discussed above or
participate in the Exchange Offer and must comply with
the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act in order to resell the Old Notes.
Expiration Date......... The Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, , 1999, or such later date and
time to which we extend it.
Withdrawal.............. The tender of the Old Notes in the Exchange Offer may
be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on , 1999, or such later date
and time to which we extend the offer. We will return
any Old Notes that we do not accept for exchange for
any reason without expense to the tendering holder of
such Notes as soon as practicable after the Exchange
Offer expires or terminates.
Accrued Interest on the
Exchange Notes and the
Old Notes............... Interest on the Exchange Notes will accrue from the
date we issued the Old Notes (April 23, 1999) for which
the Exchange Notes are exchanged until April 15, 2004,
at which time they will have an aggregate principal
amount of $575,000,000. At that time, cash interest on
the Notes will become payable on April 15 and October
15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2004. We
will pay no interest on the Old Notes tendered and
accepted for exchange.
Conditions to the
Exchange Offer.......... The Exchange Offer is subject to certain customary
conditions, certain of which we may waive. See "The
Exchange Offer - Certain Conditions to the Exchange
Offer" beginning on page 54.

<PAGE>
Procedures for Tendering
Old Notes................... Each holder of the Old Notes wishing to accept the
Exchange Offer must complete, sign and date a
Letter of Transmittal in accordance with the
instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal
and in this prospectus, and mail or otherwise
deliver that Letter of Transmittal, together with
the Old Notes and any other required documentation,
to the exchange agent at the address set forth in
this prospectus and registration statement. Holders
may sign and mail copies of the Letter of
Transmittal. Persons holding the Old Notes through
the Depository Trust Company (DTC) and wishing to
accept the Exchange Offer must do so under DTC's
Automated Tender Offer Program, by which each
tendering participant will agree to be bound by the
Letter of Transmittal. By executing or agreeing to
be bound by the Letter of Transmittal, each holder
will represent to us that, among other things, (1)
the Exchange Notes acquired in the Exchange Offer
are being obtained in the ordinary course of
business of the person receiving such Exchange
Notes, whether or not such person is the registered
holder of the Old Notes, (2) that if such holder is
a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act
or is participating in the Exchange Offer for the
purposes of distributing the Exchange Notes, such
holder will comply with the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act in connection with a resale of such holder's
Exchange Notes and cannot rely on the position of
the staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters
(see "The Exchange Offer--Purpose and Effects"),
(3) such holder understands that a resale described
in clause (2) above and any resales of the Exchange
Notes obtained by such holder in exchange for the
Old Notes acquired by such holder directly from us
should be covered by an effective registration
statement containing the seller securityholder
information required by Item 507 or Item 508, as
applicable, of Regulation S-K of the SEC, (4) the
holder does not have any arrangement or
understanding with any person to participate in the
distribution of the Exchange Notes and (5) the
holder is not our "affiliate," as defined in Rule
405 under the Securities Act.
Holders who tender their Old Notes in the Exchange
Offer with the intention of participating in a
distribution of the Exchange Notes will not be able
to rely on the no-action letters described under
the heading "The Exchange Offer" above. If the
holder is a broker-dealer that will receive
Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for
Old Notes that such broker-dealer acquired as a
result of market-making activities or other trading
activities, such holder will be required to
acknowledge in the Letter of Transmittal that such
holder will deliver a prospectus in connection with
any resale of such Exchange Notes; however, by so
acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, such
holder will not be deemed to admit that it is an
"underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities
Act. See "The Exchange Offer--Procedures for
Tendering Old Notes."
We will accept for exchange any and all Old Notes
which are properly tendered (and not withdrawn) in
the Exchange Offer prior to 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on , 1999. The Exchange Notes
issued in the Exchange Offer will be delivered
promptly following the expiration date. See "The
Exchange Offer--Terms of the Exchange Offer"
beginning on page 50.
Special Procedures for
Beneficial Owners........... Any beneficial owner whose Old Notes are registered
in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank,
trust company or other nominee and who wishes to
tender such Old Notes in the Exchange Offer should
contact such registered holder promptly and
instruct such registered holder to tender on such
beneficial owner's behalf. If such beneficial owner
wishes to tender on such owner's own behalf, such
owner must, prior to completing and executing a
Letter of Transmittal and delivering such owner's
Old Notes, either make appropriate arrangements to
register ownership of the Old Notes in such owner's
name or obtain a properly completed bond power from
the registered holder. The transfer of registered
ownership may take considerable time and may not be
able to be completed prior to the Expiration Date.
See "The Exchange Offer--Procedures for Tendering
Old Notes."

<PAGE>
Guaranteed Delivery
Procedures.................. Holders of the Old Notes who wish to tender their
Old Notes and whose Old Notes are not immediately
available or who cannot deliver their Old Notes, a
Letter of Transmittal or any other documentation
required by a Letter of Transmittal to the exchange
agent prior to the Expiration Date must tender
their Old Notes according to the guaranteed
delivery procedures set forth under "The Exchange
Offer--Guaranteed Delivery Procedures."
Exchange Agent.............. Bankers Trust Company is serving as exchange agent
in connection with the Exchange Offer.
U.S. Federal Tax
Considerations.............. The exchange of the Old Notes for the Exchange
Notes in the Exchange Offer should not constitute a
sale or an exchange for U.S. federal income tax
purposes. See "Certain U.S. Federal Tax
Considerations--Exchange Offer" beginning on page
117.
Effect of Not Tendering..... The Old Notes that are not tendered or that are
tendered but not accepted will, following the
completion of the Exchange Offer, continue to be
subject to the existing restrictions upon transfer.
Under certain circumstances, we may register the
Old Notes under a shelf registration statement.
Use of Proceeds............. We will not receive any cash from the exchange of
the Old Notes in the Exchange Offer.

THE NOTES
Issuer.................. TeleCorp PCS, Inc.
Securities Offered...... $575,000,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of
11 5/8% Senior Subordinated Discount Notes due 2009.
Maturity Date........... April 15, 2009.
Interest and Accretion.. The Notes will accrete in value until April 15, 2004,
compounded semi-annually. At that time, cash interest
on the Notes will accrue and become payable on April 15
and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15,
2004. The yield to maturity of the Notes is 11 5/8%
(computed on a semi-annual bond-equivalent basis)
calculated from April 23, 1999.
Original Issue Discount. We issued the Notes with "original issue discount"
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. When computing
gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a
holder of the Notes will be required to include in
gross income a portion of the "original issue discount"
for each day during each taxable year in which any
Notes are held, even though no cash interest payments
on the Notes will be made prior to October 15, 2004.
The "original issue discount" will be equal to the
difference between the sum of all cash payments
(whether denominated as interest or principal) to be
made on the Notes and the issue price of the Notes. See
"Certain U.S. Federal Tax Considerations--Tax
Consequences to U.S. Holders."
Optional Redemption..... On or after April 15, 2004, we may redeem some or all
of the Notes at the redemption prices set forth under
"Description of the Notes--Optional Redemption,"
together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to
the date of redemption.
Before April 15, 2002, we may redeem up to 35% of the
aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Notes
with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings
at a redemption price equal to 111 5/8% of the accreted
value of the Notes as of the date of redemption,
provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal
amount at maturity of the Notes remains outstanding
immediately after the redemption. See "Description of
the Notes--Optional Redemption."
Change of Control....... If we experience a change of control, you will have the
right to require us to repurchase your Notes at a price
equal to 101% of either the accreted value or the
principal amount at maturity of the Notes, as
applicable, together with accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, to the date of repurchase. See "Description of
the Notes--Change of Control."
Subsidiary Guarantees... The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on
an unsecured, senior subordinated basis by TeleCorp
Communications. Certain of our future subsidiaries
that incur debt will fully and unconditionally
guarantee the Notes on an unsecured, senior
subordinated basis. If we fail to make payments on the
Notes, our guarantor subsidiaries must make them
instead. Each of our guarantor subsidiaries also
guarantees our senior credit facilities and are jointly
and severally liable on a senior basis with us for all
obligations thereunder. Not all of our subsidiaries
guarantee payments on the Notes. All obligations under
our senior credit facilities are secured by pledges of
all the capital stock of all our subsidiaries and
security interests in, or liens on, substantially all
of our other tangible and intangible assets and the
tangible and intangible assets of our subsidiaries.
See "Description of the Notes--Subsidiary Guarantees,"
"--Certain Covenants" and "Certain Indebtedness--Senior
Credit Facilities."
-10-
<PAGE>
Ranking................. The Notes and the subsidiary guarantees are unsecured
and:
. subordinate in right of payment to all of our and
our guarantor subsidiaries' existing and future
senior debt (including our and our guarantor
subsidiaries' obligations under our senior credit
facilities);
. equal in right of payment with any of our and our
guarantor subsidiaries' future senior subordinated
debt; and
. senior in right of payment to all of our and our
guarantor subsidiaries' subordinated debt.
Assuming the Transactions had been completed on March
31, 1999, (1) our outstanding senior debt would have
been approximately $225.0 million (excluding unused
commitments under our senior credit facilities and
additional senior indebtedness of our subsidiaries),
(2) we would have had no senior subordinated debt other
than the Notes and (3) our outstanding subordinated
debt would have been approximately $40.5 million,
including $0.5 million of interest that was paid-in-
kind, plus $0.3 million of additional accrued interest.
In addition, (1) the outstanding senior debt of our
guarantor subsidiary would have been approximately
$225.0 million (consisting entirely of a guarantee of
our borrowings under our senior credit facilities), (2)
our subsidiary guarantor would have had no senior
subordinated debt other than the guarantee of the Notes
and (3) our subsidiary guarantor would have had no
subordinated debt. Our subsidiaries who do not
guarantee the Notes would have had a total of
approximately $242.5 million of senior debt, consisting
of approximately $20.7 million of debt owed to the U.S.
government related to our licenses and approximately
$225.0 million consisting of guarantees of our
borrowing under our senior credit facilities. The U.S.
government debt is shown on our balance sheet net of
discounts of $3.2 million reflecting the below market
interest rates on the debt. These subsidiaries would
have had no senior subordinated debt or subordinated
debt. The total liabilities of these subsidiaries would
have been approximately $320.8 million, consisting of
debt owed to the U.S. government related to our
licenses in the approximate amount of $20.7 million,
trade payables in the approximate amount of $24.8
million, accrued and other expenses in the approximate
amount of $4.1 million and intercompany amounts payable
in the approximate amount $274.4 million. The U.S.
government debt is shown on our balance sheet net of
discounts of $3.2 million reflecting the below market
interest rates on the debt. See "Description of Notes--
Ranking."
Restrictive Covenants... We issued the Old Notes, and will issue the Exchange
Notes, under an indenture with Bankers Trust Company,
as trustee. The indenture restricts, among other
things, our ability and the ability of certain of our
subsidiaries to:
. incur debt;
. layer debt;
. pay dividends on or redeem capital stock;
. make certain investments or redeem certain
subordinated debt;
. make certain dispositions of assets;
. engage in transactions with affiliates;
. engage in certain business activities; and
. engage in mergers, consolidations and certain sales
of assets.
-11-
<PAGE>
The indenture governing the Notes also limits our
ability to permit restrictions on the ability of
certain of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make
certain other distributions.
For more details, see "Description of the Notes--
Certain Covenants" and "--Merger, Consolidation and
Certain Sales of Assets."
Risk Factors
You should consider carefully all of the information set forth in this
prospectus and, in particular, you should evaluate the specific factors under
"Risk Factors" beginning on the next page before exchanging the Notes.
-12-
<PAGE>
RISK FACTORS
You should consider carefully the following factors and the other information
in this prospectus before exchanging the Notes.
We are a new company, and we may not be able to manage the construction of our
network or the growth of our business successfully.
We began our operations in December 1998 by servicing roaming customers in
certain of our Louisiana markets, and we began offering our wireless services in
each of our major domestic markets in the first quarter of 1999. As our business
expands, we will have to construct, test and deploy additional portions of our
network, enhance our financial, operational and administrative systems, hire,
train, integrate and manage additional employees and retain qualified personnel.
Our financial performance will depend on our ability to manage the construction
of our network and the successful growth of our business. If management is
unable to direct our development effectively, including by failing to implement
adequate systems and controls in a timely manner or by failing to retain
qualified employees, we could be materially adversely affected. See "--The FCC
may not finally grant our additional licenses," "--Our success depends upon our
relationship with AT&T and its success," "--We may not be able to acquire the
sites necessary to complete our network," "--We may have difficulty in obtaining
infrastructure equipment," "Business--Network Development" and "Management."
We continue to incur significant operating losses, and we may not be able to
generate positive cash flow from our operations in the future.
We incurred cumulative operating losses through March 31, 1999 of
approximately $85.3 million. We expect to continue to incur significant
operating losses and to generate negative cash flow from operating activities
for at least the next several years while we continue to construct our network
and develop our customer base. Our ability to eliminate operating losses and to
generate positive cash flow from operations in the future will depend upon a
variety of factors, many of which we cannot control. These factors include:
. the cost of constructing our network;
. changes in technology;
. changes in governmental regulations;
. the level of demand for wireless communications services;
. the product offerings, pricing strategies and other competitive factors
of our competitors; and
. general economic conditions.
If we are unable to implement our business plan successfully, we may not be
able to eliminate operating losses, generate positive cash flow or achieve or
sustain profitability, which would materially adversely affect us and our
ability to make payments on the Notes. See "--The FCC may not finally grant our
additional licenses," "--Our success depends upon our relationship with AT&T
and its success," "--We may not be able to acquire the sites necessary to
complete our network," "--We may have difficulty in obtaining infrastructure
equipment," and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations."
We have substantial debt which we may not be able to service.
We have a substantial amount of debt. As of March 31, 1999, after giving
effect to the Transactions, our outstanding debt would have been approximately
$610.9 million, consisting of (1) approximately $225.0 million of borrowings
under our senior credit facilities and $20.7 million of debt owed to
the U.S. government related to our licenses, which debt is shown on our balance
sheet net of discounts of $3.2 million reflecting the below market interest
rates on the debt, (2) approximately $327.6 million in accreted value of the
Notes and (3) approximately $40.5 million, including $0.5 million of interest
that was paid in kind, of junior subordinated notes, plus $0.3 million of
additional accrued interest, issued to Lucent in connection with the vendor
financing provided by Lucent. In addition, Lucent has committed to purchase up
to an additional $80.0 million of junior subordinated notes in connection with
our development of new markets. We may incur additional debt in the future.
The indenture governing the Notes permits us to incur additional debt, subject
to certain limitations. Our senior credit facilities provide for total
borrowings in the amount of up to
-13-
<PAGE>
$525.0 million, and, in certain circumstances, for additional borrowings in the
amount of up to $75.0 million. As of March 31, 1999, after giving effect to the
Transactions, the vendor financing provided by Lucent provided for us to issue
up to an additional $15.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes based upon
our current markets and an additional $65.0 million if we develop new markets.
See "Certain Indebtedness" and "Description of the Notes."
The substantial amount of our debt will have a number of important
consequences for our operations, including:
. we may not have sufficient funds to pay interest on, and principal of,
our debt (including the Notes);
. if payments on any debt owed to the U.S. government are not made when
due, the FCC may:
. impose substantial financial penalties;
. reclaim and reauction the related licenses, and impose a significant
financial penalty in respect of each license that is reclaimed and
reauctioned;
. deny renewal of any other licenses; and
. pursue other enforcement measures;
. we will have to dedicate a substantial portion of any cash flow from
operations to the payment of interest on, and principal of, our debt,
which will reduce funds available for other purposes;
. we may not be able to obtain additional financing for capital
requirements, capital expenditures, working capital requirements and
other corporate purposes;
. some of our debt, including borrowings under our senior credit
facilities, will be at variable rates of interest, which could result in
higher interest expense in the event of increases in interest rates;
. pledges of the capital stock of our subsidiaries and liens on
substantially all of our other assets and the assets of such
subsidiaries secure the debt incurred under our senior credit facilities
and this debt matures prior to the maturity of the Notes; and
. our ability to adjust to changing market conditions and to withstand
competitive pressures could be limited, and we may be vulnerable to
additional risk in the event of a downturn in general economic
conditions or our business.
See "--We could lose our F-Block and C-Block licenses if we fail to meet
financial and other tests," "--Government regulation, changes in our licenses or
other governmental action could adversely affect us," "Business--Government
Regulation" and "Certain Indebtedness."
Our ability to make payments on our debt, including the Notes, depends upon
our future operating performance, which is subject to general economic and
competitive conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of
which we cannot control. If our cash flow from operating activities is
insufficient, we may take certain actions, including delaying or reducing
capital expenditures, attempting to restructure or refinance our debt, selling
assets or operations or seeking additional equity capital. We may be unable to
take any of these actions on satisfactory terms or in a timely manner. Further,
any of these actions may not be sufficient to allow us to service our debt
obligations. Our existing debt agreements limit our ability to take certain of
these actions. The indenture governing the Notes contains similar restrictions.
See "--Our debt instruments could restrict our business plans." Our failure to
earn enough to pay our debts or to successfully undertake any of these actions
could, among other things, materially adversely affect the market value of the
Notes. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources," "Certain Indebtedness"
and "Description of the Notes."
We may need additional financing to complete our network and fund operating
losses.
We will make significant capital expenditures to finish the designing,
building, testing and deployment of our network. We estimate that the proceeds
from the offering of the Old Notes, together with the proceeds from sales of our
equity securities, borrowings under our senior credit facilities and the vendor
financing provided by Lucent, and internally generated cash, will be sufficient
to:
-14-
<PAGE>
. fund the planned construction of our network;
. fund operating losses; and
. satisfy debt service requirements through December 31, 2002.
See "Use of Proceeds" and "Business--Network Development." The actual
expenditures necessary to achieve these goals may differ significantly from our
estimates. We would have to obtain additional financing, if:
. any of our sources of capital are unavailable or insufficient;
. we significantly depart from our business plan;
. we experience unexpected delays or cost overruns in the construction of
our network;
. we have increases in operating costs;
. changes in technology or governmental regulations create unanticipated
costs; or
. we acquire additional licenses.
We cannot predict whether any additional financing will be available, the
terms on which any additional financing would be available or whether our
existing debt agreements will allow additional financing. If we cannot obtain
additional financing when needed, we will have to delay, modify or abandon some
of our plans to construct the remainder of our network.
We have sold $205.3 million of equity securities. As of March 31, 1999, we had
received payments of $55.5 million in payment for such securities. The remaining
$149.8 million (including $32.3 million of commitments to reimburse us for costs
incurred in connection with the FCC's reauction of C-Block licenses) has been
irrevocably committed and will be paid within three years. If we do not receive
the proceeds from sales of our equity securities in a timely manner, our ability
to complete construction of our network, successfully implement our business
plan and capitalize on opportunities for growth could be materially adversely
affected.
The FCC may not finally grant our additional licenses.
We participated in the FCC's reauction of C-Block and other licenses for
additional spectrum through Viper Wireless. On April 20, 1999, the FCC
announced that the reauction ended, and Viper Wireless was the high bidder for
additional spectrum in New Orleans, Houma and Alexandria, Louisiana, San Juan,
Puerto Rico, Jackson, Tennessee and Beaumont, Texas. On June 3, 1999, a
petition was filed by certain secured creditors of DCR PCS and Pocket
Communications against the application of Viper Wireless for the Houma and New
Orleans licenses. The petition seeks deferral of the grant of these licenses to
Viper Wireless until an appeal by the secured creditors of DCR PCS and Pocket
Communications has been resolved or, in the alternative, a condition noting that
a pre-existing claim to the licenses may exist if the secured creditors of DCR
PCS and Pocket Communications are successful in that appeal. The appeal seeks
review of the bankruptcy court's ruling concerning DCR PCS and Pocket
Communications permitting DCR PCS to file its election notice, which ultimately
resulted in the return of these licenses to the FCC, over the objection of the
secured creditors of DCR PCS and Pocket Communications. Viper Wireless filed an
opposition to the petition on June 15, 1999. If we transfer these licenses to
TeleCorp Holding Corp., Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, we would need FCC
approval to do so. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that we will consummate
this transaction. See "Summary--Recent Developments."
Our success depends upon our relationship with AT&T and its success.
We have entered into a number of agreements with AT&T, including:
. a license agreement, which allows us to market our services using equal
emphasis co-branding with the AT&T brand name and logo until July 2003
(which will be automatically renewed for a period of five years unless
we or AT&T elects not to renew the agreement);
. a stockholders' agreement, which provides, among other things, that we
will be AT&T's exclusive facilities-based provider of mobile wireless
services in our covered areas until July 2009;
-15-
<PAGE>
. an intercarrier roamer service agreement, which allows us and AT&T to
grant our respective customers the right to roam on the other's network
until July 2018 (if we or AT&T do not previously terminate the agreement
after July 2008);
. a roaming administration service agreement, which allows us to grant to
our customers the right to roam on networks operated by companies who
have entered into roaming agreements with AT&T to the extent provided
in, and subject to the terms of, such agreements, for two years; and
. a long distance agreement, which allows us to purchase long distance
services at preferred rates.
In certain situations, AT&T may withdraw from these agreements with us. If we
experience a change in control, AT&T may terminate the license agreement, the
stockholders' agreement and the long distance agreement. If AT&T combines with
certain other businesses, AT&T may terminate the license agreement or the
exclusive provider provisions of the stockholders' agreement for that portion of
our coverage area in which the acquired company provided wireless services.
Currently, only Sprint Corporation, SBC Communications, Bell Atlantic and Bell
South satisfy the criteria regarding the other business in respect of which a
combination would permit the termination of the exclusive provider provisions of
the stockholders' agreement. If we fail to meet certain construction, quality or
feature set requirements, AT&T may terminate the exclusive provider provisions
of the stockholders' agreement. Upon 180 days' prior notice, both we and AT&T
may terminate the roaming administration service agreement. See "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions--AT&T Agreements." If the rights to use
the AT&T brand name and logo and related rights granted to us under the license
agreement were revoked or otherwise became unavailable, or if any of the
agreements we have entered into with AT&T were not renewed or were terminated,
we could be materially adversely affected.
We use our relationship with AT&T to obtain the infrastructure equipment and
handsets that we use in the construction and operation of our network on
preferred terms from the vendors who supply AT&T. See "--We may have difficulty
obtaining infrastructure equipment." Any disruption in our relationship with
AT&T could have a material adverse effect on our ability to obtain the
infrastructure equipment that we use in our network or on our relationship with
our vendors.
We currently depend upon AT&T's systems to activate our subscribers over-the-
air. If this service were not available to us, it could materially adversely
affect our ability to activate our subscribers.
Our success highly depends upon our relationship with AT&T and its success as
a provider of wireless communications services. AT&T and the other SunCom
companies are subject, to varying degrees, to the same risks that affect us, and
we cannot be sure that AT&T and these companies will succeed in developing their
wireless businesses. Any such failures could materially adversely affect us. See
"--We face significant competition" and "Business--Competition."
The agreements we have entered into with AT&T contain requirements regarding
the construction of our network, and, in many instances, these requirements are
more stringent than those imposed by the FCC. Failure to meet their requirements
could result in termination of certain exclusivity provisions contained in our
agreements with AT&T. The construction of the remainder of our network involves
risks of unanticipated costs and delays. We will need to complete timely the
construction of additional phases of our network to meet such requirements.
We may not be able to acquire the sites necessary to complete our network.
We must lease or otherwise acquire rights to use sites for the location of
base station transmitter equipment and obtain zoning variances and other
governmental approvals to complete the construction of our network and to
provide wireless communications services to customers in our licensed areas. In
addition to the sites used in the areas where we currently offer service, we
have leased 149 sites that will be developed in later phases of construction of
our network. Local zoning ordinances restrict our ability to site and construct
antennas, and such ordinances may prevent us from successfully completing the
buildout of our network. If we encounter significant difficulties in leasing or
otherwise acquiring rights to sites for the location of base station transmitter
equipment, we may need to alter the design of our network, which could
materially adversely affect our ability to complete construction of our network
in a timely manner.
We may have difficulty in obtaining infrastructure equipment.
The demand for the equipment that we require to construct our network is
considerable and manufacturers of this equipment could have substantial backlogs
of orders. Accordingly, the lead time for the delivery of this equipment may be
long. Some of our competitors purchase large quantities of communications
equipment and may have established relationships with the manufacturers of this
equipment. Consequently, they may receive priority in the delivery of this
equipment. Our agreements with
-16-
<PAGE>
vendors contain penalties if vendors do not deliver the equipment according to
schedule. Nevertheless, the vendors may fail to deliver the equipment to us in a
timely manner. If we do not receive the equipment in a timely manner, we may be
unable to provide wireless communications services comparable to those of our
competitors. In addition, we may be unable to satisfy the requirements regarding
the construction of our network contained in FCC regulations or our agreements
with AT&T. If we fail to construct our network in a timely manner, we could
limit our ability to compete effectively, lose our licenses or breach our
agreements with AT&T, which, in turn, could materially adversely affect us. See
"--Our success depends upon our relationship with AT&T and its success," "--
Government regulation, changes in our licenses or other governmental action
could adversely affect us," "--We could lose our F-Block and C-Block licenses if
we fail to meet financial and other tests," "Business--Network Development," "--
Government Regulation" and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--AT&T
Agreements."
The interests of our stockholders may conflict with the interests of the
holders of the Notes.
Under the stockholders' agreement between us and AT&T, AT&T has the right to
elect two of the 13 members of our Board. All of our directors and officers owe
a fiduciary duty to holders of our equity interests, including AT&T. Directors
and officers of a company generally do not owe a fiduciary duty to holders of
debt securities, such as the Notes, and they may not act in the best interests
of the holders of the Notes. In addition, our interests may conflict with those
of AT&T, and we and AT&T may not resolve any such conflict in our favor.
Potential acquisitions may require us to incur additional debt and integrate new
technologies, operations and services.
We may pursue additional strategic acquisitions of licenses and facilities to
enhance our business, operations and financial results and to expand our
commercial operations. To consummate future acquisitions, we may incur
additional debt. In addition, the acquisition of additional licenses and
facilities involves a number of significant risks, including the difficulties
associated with the integration of new technologies, operations and services
with existing technologies, operations and services and the diversion of
management's attention from other business concerns. Accordingly, future
acquisitions could materially adversely affect us. The construction of a network
and the beginning of commercial operations in any new area will be subject to
the same risks that affect the construction of our network and the beginning of
commercial operations in our current markets. See "--We may need additional
financing to complete our network and fund operating losses" and "--Our success
depends upon our relationship with AT&T and its success," "--We may not be able
to acquire the sites necessary to complete our network" and "--We may have
difficulty in obtaining infrastructure equipment."
We face significant competition.
Competition in the wireless communications services industry is intense. Many
of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technological,
marketing and sales and distribution resources than we do. In addition,
competitors who entered the wireless communications services market before us
may have a significant "time-to-market" advantage over us. As a new entrant in
the market, we may have to engage in significant and prolonged discounting to
attract customers, which would materially adversely affect our business. In
addition, some of our competitors may market other services, such as traditional
landline telephone service, cable television access and access to the Internet,
together with their wireless communications services. We may not be able to
compete successfully with competitors who have substantially greater resources
or a significant "time-to-market" advantage or who offer more services than we
do.
We compete in our markets with virtually every major U.S. cellular and PCS
company. Some of these competitors have achieved substantial coverage in
portions of our licensed areas. Certain of our competitors have more extensive
coverage within our licensed areas than we provide and also have broader
regional coverage. In addition, the FCC reauctioned C-Block licenses in
substantially all of our markets, and, to the extent we did not acquire these
licenses, we may face additional competitors in our markets.
We compete with companies that use other communications technologies,
including paging (and digital two-way paging), ESMR and domestic and global
mobile satellite service. In addition, we expect that, in the future, providers
of wireless communications services will compete more directly with providers of
traditional landline telephone services, energy companies, utility companies and
cable operators who expand their services to offer communications services.
Finally, we may compete in the future with companies who offer new technologies.
See "--Changes in technology and customer demands could adversely affect us."
Our ability to compete successfully will depend, in part, upon our ability to
anticipate and respond to various competitive factors affecting the industry,
including the introduction of new services, changes in consumer preferences,
demographic trends, economic conditions and competitors' pricing strategies, all
of which could adversely affect our profitability. In addition, the
-17-
<PAGE>
future level of demand for wireless communications services is uncertain. See
"Business--The Wireless Communications Industry" and "--Competition."
We depend upon consultants and contractors who could fail to perform their
obligations.
We have retained Lucent and other consultants and contractors to assist in the
design and engineering of our systems, construct cell sites, switch facilities
and towers, assist in leasing or otherwise acquiring rights to use sites for the
location of cell sites, deploy our network and install, maintain and support our
information technology systems. See "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions--Other Related Party Transactions." Although we believe that other
vendors can perform the services that such consultants and contractors provide,
the failure by any of these consultants or contractors to fulfill its
contractual obligations could materially adversely affect our ability to
complete the construction of our network in a timely manner, which could
materially adversely affect us. See "--Our success depends upon our relationship
with AT&T and its success," "--We may not be able to acquire the sites necessary
to complete our network" and "--We may have difficulty in obtaining
infrastructure equipment."
Our success depends upon our ability to attract and retain senior management.
Our success depends upon the services of the members of our senior management
team, particularly Mr. Vento, Mr. Sullivan and Ms. Dobson, and their ability to
implement our business plan and manage our business. The loss of the services of
one or more of these individuals could materially adversely affect us. We do not
carry life insurance on any of our senior management. See "--We depend on a
management agreement with TeleCorp Management" and "Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions--Management Agreement."
We depend on a management agreement with TeleCorp Management.
Under the management agreement with TeleCorp Management, TeleCorp Management
provides management services to us regarding the design, development and
operation of our network. We depend upon TeleCorp Management to perform its
obligations under the management agreement. TeleCorp Management, which is wholly
owned by Mr. Vento and Mr. Sullivan, had no operating history before it began
providing services to us. The management agreement terminates:
. upon thirty days' notice from TeleCorp Management;
. upon our or our stockholders removing Mr. Vento or Mr. Sullivan as a
director of TeleCorp;
. if we do not pay TeleCorp Management;
. if we become bankrupt; or
. on July 17, 2003, unless renewed.
If the management agreement is terminated, our success and our ability to
comply with the rules regarding our F-Block and C-Block licenses could be
materially adversely affected. See "--Government regulation, changes in our
licenses and other governmental action could adversely affect us," "We could
lose our F-Block and C-Block licenses if we fail to meet financial and other
tests," "Business--Government Regulation" and "Management--Management
Agreement."
Members of our management own interests in companies that might conflict with
our interests.
Members of our management, including Mr. Vento and Mr. Sullivan, own interests
in companies that hold licenses to provide wireless communications services in
areas outside of our licensed areas and may acquire interests in companies that
hold licenses to provide wireless communications services in the future.
Although we do not expect that these companies will provide services that
compete with our services, our interests may conflict with the interests of
these companies and any conflicts may not be resolved in our favor.
Government regulation, changes in our licenses or other governmental action
could adversely affect us.
Congress, the FCC, state and local regulatory agencies and the courts directly
and indirectly regulate wireless communications networks and the networks with
which they interconnect. The FCC, in conjunction with the Federal Aviation
Administration, regulates the marking and lighting of towers, including those
used in wireless communications networks. Congress, the FCC, the Federal
Aviation Administration, state and local regulatory authorities or the courts
may adopt new
-18-
<PAGE>
regulations, amend existing regulations, alter the administration of existing
regulations or take other actions that materially adversely affect us.
Our licenses to provide wireless communications services, which are our
principal assets, have terms of ten years. Each of our licenses may be renewed
upon expiration of its term for a period of ten years. All of the licenses,
however, are subject to revocation by the FCC at any time "for cause," which
includes the failure to comply with the terms of the licenses, the failure to
remain qualified under applicable FCC rules to hold the licenses, certain
violations of FCC regulations and malfeasance and other misconduct. We cannot
ensure that our licenses will be renewed upon expiration of their terms.
Further, our licenses could be modified in a way that materially adversely
affects us. The nonrenewal or loss of any of our licenses would materially
adversely affect us. Additionally, the threat of nonrenewal or loss of any of
our licenses could materially adversely affect the market value of the Notes.
See "Business--Government Regulation."
TeleCorp Holding participated in the FCC's auction of F-Block licenses as a
"very small business," and TeleCorp Holding must remain a "very small business"
for at least five years to comply with applicable rules of the FCC. TeleCorp
Holding will also acquire certain C-Block licenses in connection with the
Louisiana acquisitions, which are subject to the same regulations. See "--We
could lose our F-Block and C-Block licenses if we fail to meet financial and
other tests." If TeleCorp Holding were found to be in violation of these rules,
the FCC could impose substantial financial and regulatory penalties upon us and
TeleCorp Holding, such as a fine, revocation of our PCS licenses, acceleration
of installment payment obligations or retroactive loss of bidding credits. For
example, the FCC could require that TeleCorp Holding repay all debt owed to the
U.S. government in respect of the award of our F-Block and C-Block licenses,
restrict or revoke TeleCorp Holding's F-Block and C-Block licenses or refuse to
grant similar licenses to us in the future. See "Business--Government
Regulation." The imposition of any of these financial or regulatory penalties
could materially adversely affect us.
In addition, TeleCorp Holding owes substantial debt to the U.S. government in
respect of the award of certain F-Block and C-Block licenses. If interest on,
and principal of, any of this debt is not paid when due, or if any default,
after any applicable grace periods expire, on the payment of amounts owed under
this debt occurs, the FCC may:
. impose substantial financial penalties;
. reclaim and reauction the related licenses, and impose a significant
financial penalty in respect of each license that is reclaimed and
reauctioned;
. deny renewal of other licenses; or
. pursue other enforcement measures.
See "--We could lose our F-Block and C-Block licenses if we fail to meet
financial and other tests." If the FCC were to take any of these actions, then
we could be materially adversely affected. See "Certain Indebtedness--Government
Debt."
Spectrum is the range of electromagnetic frequencies available for use. The
FCC has made additional PCS spectrum available through a reauction of certain C-
Block and other licenses returned to, or repossessed by, the FCC. We
participated in this reauction for additional spectrum through Viper Wireless.
On April 20, 1999, the FCC announced that the reauction ended, and Viper
Wireless was the higher bidder for additional spectrum in New Orleans, Houma and
Alexandria, Louisiana, San Juan, Puerto Rico, Jackson, Tennessee and Beaumont,
Texas. On June 3, 1999, a petition was filed by certain secured creditors of
DCR PCS and Pocket Communications against the application of Viper Wireless for
the Houma and New Orleans licenses. The petition seeks deferral of the grant of
these licenses to Viper Wireless until an appeal, by the secured creditors of
DCR PCS and Pocket Communications has been resolved or in the alternative, a
condition noting that a pre-existing claim to the licenses may exist if the
secured creditors are successful in that appeal. The appeal seeks review of the
bankruptcy court's ruling concerning DCR PCS and Pocket Communications
permitting DCR PCS to file its election notice, which ultimately resulted in the
return of these licenses to the FCC, over the objection of the secured creditors
of DCR PCS and Pocket Communications. Viper Wireless filed an opposition to the
petition on June 15, 1999. All these licenses are C-Block licenses and are
subject to the same restrictions as our current C-Block licenses. To the extent
such licenses are not finally granted to us, we may face additional competitors
in our markets.
In the future, the FCC may auction additional spectrum, including 36 MHz of
spectrum near the cellular band in the year 2000.

We could lose our F-Block and C-Block licenses if we fail to meet financial and
other tests.
TeleCorp Holding participated in the FCC's auction of F-Block licenses as a
"very small business," and TeleCorp Holding must remain a "very small business"
for at least five years to comply with applicable rules of the FCC. TeleCorp
Holding will also acquire certain C-Block businesses in connection with the
Louisiana acquisitions, which are subject to the same regulations. Viper
Wireless participated in the FCC's reauction of C-Block licenses as a "very
small business," and Viper Wireless is subject to the same regulations. The
FCC combines the gross revenues and assets of the applicant or licensee and the
applicant's or licensee's "financial affiliates" to determine whether an
applicant or a licensee qualifies as a "very small business." An entity may be a
"financial affiliate" of an applicant or licensee as a result of common
investments, contractual relationships, joint venture agreements, voting trusts,
stock ownership, ownership of stock options or convertible securities,
agreements to merge or familial relationships. In addition, the FCC may consider
an entity with which an applicant or licensee has formed a "joint venture," as
defined by the FCC, to be a "financial affiliate" of the applicant or licensee
under certain circumstances. Holders of an ownership interest in an applicant or
licensee below certain thresholds are "passive" investors, and such holders are
not "financial affiliates" of the applicant or licensee. Moreover, the FCC will
not attribute to an applicant or licensee the gross revenues and assets of an
entity that makes a bona fide loan to the applicant or licensee unless such
entity is otherwise an affiliate of the applicant or if the FCC treats the loan
as an equity investment. The FCC also requires applicants and licensees with
certain ownership structures, such as ours, to cause certain investors who have
certain financial qualifications to form a "control group." Such a control group
must:
. hold not less than 25% of the applicant's or licensee's equity on a
fully diluted basis;
. hold a majority of the applicant's or licensee's total voting stock; and
. have both actual and legal control of the applicant or licensee.
We believe that our capital structure and our ownership structure allow us to
maintain our status as a "very small business" and to satisfy the FCC's
requirements regarding the presence of a "control group." The FCC reviewed our
capital and ownership structures, as well as the filings required in connection
with the formation of the venture between us and AT&T, as part of our
application for our F-Block licenses. The FCC has granted all our F-Block
licenses to us by "final order" and has not taken any action to challenge our
capital structure or ownership structure under the rules applicable to "very
small businesses," the rules of "financial affiliation" or the rules relating to
the presence of a "control group." The FCC or another party may challenge our
capital or ownership structure under any of these rules in the future, and our
capital structure or ownership structure, our relationship with AT&T, our
financial affiliations with other entities or the loans from Lucent may be found
to violate these rules. If we were found to be in violation of these rules, the
FCC could impose substantial penalties upon us or TeleCorp Holding, such as a
fine, revocation of our PCS licenses, acceleration of installment payment
obligations or retroactive loss of bidding credits. For example, the FCC could
require that TeleCorp Holding repay all debt owed to the U.S. government in
respect of the award of certain F-Block and C-Block licenses to TeleCorp
Holding, restrict or revoke our F-Block and C-Block licenses or refuse to grant
similar licenses to us in the future. See "--Government regulation, changes in
our licenses and other governmental action could adversely affect us" and
"Business--Government Regulation." The imposition of any of these financial or
regulatory penalties could materially adversely affect us.
The FCC has adopted regulations that require companies who have acquired
licenses to provide wireless communications services to meet certain minimum
requirements regarding the construction of their networks. For example,
licensees of 30 MHz Blocks (such as the A-Block, B-Block and C-Block) are
required to offer a signal level that provides adequate service to at least one-
third of the population in their licensed area within five years of receipt of
the license, and to at least two-thirds of such population within ten years of
receipt of the license. Licensees of 10 MHz Blocks (such as the D-Block, E-Block
and F-Block) are required to offer a signal level that provides adequate service
to at least one-quarter of the population in their licensed area within five
years of receipt of the license, or to show substantial service in the licensed
area within five years of receipt of the license. The FCC has ruled that
disaggregated 15 MHz licenses such as those acquired in the FCC's reauction of
C-Block and other licenses are subject to the same build-out requirements as 10
MHz Blocks. See "--Government regulation, changes in our licenses or other
governmental action could adversely affect us" and "Business--Government
Regulation." The FCC could fine us or revoke our licenses if we do not meet such
requirements. After giving effect to final grant of the Viper Wireless licenses,
we will own A-Block, B-Block, C-Block, D-Block and F-Block licenses. A fine or
the revocation of any of our licenses could materially adversely affect us.
Changes in technology and customer demands could adversely affect us.
We use the TDMA technology standard in our network. Other digital
technologies, such as CDMA and GSM, may have significant advantages over TDMA.
If the marketplace demands the advantages of other digital technologies or if
alternative
-20-
<PAGE>
technologies emerge in the marketplace, we may need to purchase and install
equipment necessary to allow migration from TDMA to these technologies or change
our choice of technology to compete in the marketplace. We may not be able to
purchase and install successfully the equipment necessary to allow for migration
to a new or different technology or to adopt a new or different technology at an
acceptable cost, if at all.
The wireless communications services industry is experiencing rapid
technological change, evidenced by the pace of digital upgrades in existing
analog systems, evolution of industry standards, ongoing improvements in the
capacity and quality of digital technology, decrease in the time needed for new
products to come to market and enhancements and changes in the requirements and
preferences of consumers. In addition, industry groups are in the process of
developing standards for the next generation of wireless services. While we
believe that TDMA users will be able to migrate to the next generation systems,
this may not be the case. We will need to develop and implement new technologies
to increase our service offering and cost effectiveness to remain competitive.
The development and implementation of new technologies is highly complex and
uncertain, and we may experience delays in developing or implementing new
technologies. If we are unable to develop and implement new technologies, we may
not be able to compete effectively. An inability to develop and implement new
technologies to meet customer demands and to compete effectively could
materially adversely affect us.
We expect to incur operating costs due to fraud.
Based upon the experiences of other providers of wireless communications
services, we expect to incur costs as a result of the unauthorized use of our
network. These costs include the capital and administrative costs associated
with detecting, monitoring and reducing the incidence of fraud and the costs
associated with payments to other providers of wireless communications services
for "unbillable" fraudulent roaming on their networks. If we are unsuccessful in
our efforts to control the unauthorized use of our network, or if we experience
unanticipated types of fraud, our business could be materially adversely
affected.
Use of hand-held phones may pose health and safety risks.
Media reports have suggested that certain radio frequency emissions from
wireless handsets may be linked to certain health concerns, including the
incidence of cancer. Data gathered in studies performed by manufacturers of
wireless communications equipment dispute these media reports. Further, a major
industry trade association and certain governmental agencies have stated
publicly that the use of wireless handsets does not pose any undue health risks.
Nevertheless, concerns regarding radio frequency emissions could have the effect
of discouraging the use of wireless handsets, which could materially adversely
affect us.
The FCC recently revised the rules specifying the methods to be used in
evaluating radio frequency emissions from radio equipment, including wireless
handsets. The hand-held digital telephones that we offer to our customers comply
with the standards adopted under the new rules. These handsets may not comply
with any rules adopted by the FCC in the future. The failure of these handsets
to remain in compliance with applicable FCC rules and standards could materially
adversely affect us.
Recent studies have shown that hand-held digital telephones interfere with
certain medical devices, including hearing aids and pacemakers. The University
of Oklahoma Center for the Study of Wireless Electromagnetic Compatibility,
together with industry trade associations and other interested parties, are
currently studying the extent of, and possible solutions to, this interference.
If these studies demonstrate significant interference or create public concern
about interference, the results of such studies could materially adversely
affect us.
Measures that would (1) require "hands free" use of cellular phones while
operating motor vehicles, (2) ban cellular phone use while driving, (3) limit
the length of calls while driving or (4) require people to pull to the side of
the road to use cellular phones while driving, have been proposed or are being
considered in 12 state legislatures. Three states have passed legislation
concerning cellular phones while driving. California requires rental cars with
cell phones to include written operating instructions concerning safe use.
Florida permits cellular phone use as long as the motorist has one ear free to
hear surrounding sound. Massachusetts allows cellular phone use as long as it
does not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle and as long as the
motorist keeps one hand on the steering wheel at all times. In addition,
certain commissions and municipalities have passed restrictions on cellular
phone use while driving. In New York, New York, the New York City Taxi and
Limousine Commission approved a regulation that bans taxi drivers from dialing
and talking while driving and requires taxi drivers to pull over to the curb and
be legally parked before using cellular phones. In Brooklyn, Ohio, it is a
misdemeanor to use a cellular phone while driving unless both hands are on the
steering wheel. We cannot predict the success of the proposed laws concerning
car phone use or the effect on use of cellular phones as a result of the
publicity surrounding or passage of such laws. In addition, more restrictive
measures or measures aimed at wireless services companies as opposed to users
may be proposed or passed in state legislatures in the future. The passage or
proliferation of such legislation could materially adversely affect us.

The Notes are subordinate to other debt that encumbers our assets.
The right to payment on the Notes is subordinate to all of our existing and
future senior debt. Similarly, each subsidiary guarantee of the Notes is
subordinate to all existing and future senior debt of the applicable guarantor.
In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or
similar proceeding with respect to us or any guarantor, our or such guarantor's
assets will be available to pay obligations on the Notes or the applicable
guarantee only after all outstanding senior debt of such party has been paid in
full. There may not be sufficient assets remaining to make payments on amounts
due on any or all of the Notes then outstanding or any subsidiary guarantee. In
addition, under certain circumstances, an event of a default in the payment of
certain senior debt will prohibit us and the guarantors of the Notes from paying
the Notes or the guarantees of the Notes. As of March 31, 1999, after giving
effect to the Transactions:
. our outstanding senior debt would have been approximately $225.0 million
(excluding unused commitments under our senior credit facilities and
additional senior indebtedness for our subsidiaries); and
. the outstanding senior debt of our subsidiary guarantor would have been
approximately $225.0 million (consisting entirely of guarantees of
borrowings under our senior credit facilities, but excluding unused
commitments thereunder).
In addition, certain of our subsidiaries will not guarantee the Notes. In the
event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or similar
proceeding with respect to any of these subsidiaries, the assets of these
subsidiaries will be available to pay obligations on the Notes only after all
outstanding liabilities of such subsidiaries has been paid in full. As of March
31, 1999, after giving effect to the Transactions, the total liabilities of
these subsidiaries would have been approximately $320.8 million, consisting of
debt owed to the U.S. government related to our licenses in the approximate
amount of $20.7 million, trade payables in the approximate amount of
$24.8 million, accrued and other expenses in the approximate amount of $4.1
million and intercompany amounts payable in the approximate amount of $274.4
million. The U.S. government debt is shown on our balance sheet net of discounts
of $3.2 million reflecting the below market interest rates on the debt.
Although the indenture governing the Notes limits the amount of debt we and
certain of our subsidiaries may incur, the amount of such debt could be
substantial and could be senior debt. See "Description of the Notes."
The Notes and the guarantees of the Notes are unsecured. Thus, the Notes and
the guarantees of the Notes rank junior in right of payment to any of our
secured debt or the secured debt of the guarantors of the Notes to the extent of
the value of the assets securing such debt. Such debt includes debt incurred
under our senior credit facilities, which is secured by liens on substantially
all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries. If an event of default were to
occur under our senior credit facilities, the lenders could foreclose on such
collateral regardless of any default with respect to the Notes. Such assets
would first be used to repay in full all amounts outstanding under our senior
credit facilities. The use in the wireless communications services business of
our licenses and the infrastructure equipment used in our network creates the
value of such assets. These assets are highly specialized and, taken
individually, have limited marketability. Consequently, in the event the lenders
under our senior credit facilities foreclose on the collateral securing our
debt, these assets are likely to be sold as an entirety. The need to obtain FCC
approval and comply with applicable governmental regulations could reduce the
value obtained for these assets.
We depend upon our subsidiaries for funds necessary to make payments on the
Notes.
We conduct almost all of our operations through our subsidiaries. As a result,
we depend upon dividends from our subsidiaries for the funds necessary to make
payments on the Notes. The indenture governing the Notes limits restrictions on
the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make certain
other distributions. Nonetheless, our senior credit facilities restrict the
ability of these subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions. In
addition, there can be no assurance that any such dividends or distributions
will be adequate to allow us to make payments on the Notes.
Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void
the Notes and the guarantees of the Notes.
Although guarantees of the Notes provide the holders of the Notes with a
direct claim against the assets of the applicable guarantor, creditors of a
bankrupt guarantor may challenge such guarantee. If such a challenge were
upheld, then the applicable guarantee would be invalid and unenforceable.
Without the benefit of any guarantees, holders of the Notes would be junior to
all creditors, including trade creditors, of our subsidiaries. As of March 31,
1999, after giving effect to the Transactions, the total liabilities of our
subsidiaries who do not guarantee the Notes would have been approximately $320.8
million, consisting of debt owed to the U.S. government related to our licenses
in the approximate amount of $20.7 million, trade payables in the approximate
amount of $24.8 million, accrued and
-22-
<PAGE>
other expenses in the approximate amount of $4.1 million and intercompany
amounts payable in the approximate amount of $274.4 million. The U.S. government
debt is shown on our balance sheet net of discounts of $3.2 million reflecting
the below market interest rates on the debt.
The creditors of a bankrupt guarantor could challenge a guarantee on the
grounds that the guarantee constituted a "fraudulent conveyance" under
bankruptcy law. If a court were to rule that a guarantor:
. incurred a guarantee to delay, hinder or defraud present or future
creditors;
. received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for
incurring the guarantee; and
. at the time of incurring the guarantee, the guarantor:
. was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of the guarantee;
. was engaged, or about to engage, in a business or transaction for
which its remaining unencumbered assets were unreasonably small; or
. intended to, or believed it would, incur debts greater than it could
pay as they become due
then the court could void the obligations under the guarantee or subordinate the
guarantee to other debt of such guarantor or take other action detrimental to
the holders of the Notes. In addition, any of the guarantees of the Notes could
be subject to the claim that, since such guarantee was incurred for our benefit
and only indirectly for the benefit of our subsidiary that provided the
guarantee, the obligations of the applicable guarantor were incurred for less
than fair consideration.
Our debt instruments could restrict our business plans.
The indenture governing the Notes restricts our ability and the ability of
certain of our subsidiaries to engage in certain transactions. In addition, our
senior credit facilities require us to maintain certain ratios, including
leverage ratios, an interest coverage ratio and a fixed charges ratio, and to
satisfy certain tests, including tests relating to minimum covered Pops, minimum
number of subscribers to our services and minimum aggregate service revenue per
subscriber. The vendor financing provided by Lucent also restricts our ability
and the ability of our subsidiaries to do the following:
. create liens;
. make certain payments, including payments of dividends and distributions
in respect of capital stock;
. consolidate, merge and sell assets;
. engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and
. fundamentally change our business.
See "Description of the Notes--Certain Covenants," "Certain Indebtedness--
Senior Credit Facilities" and "--Vendor Financing."
The restrictions contained in the indenture governing the Notes, and the
restrictions contained in our senior credit facilities and the vendor financing
provided by Lucent, may limit our ability to implement our business plan,
finance future operations, respond to changing business and economic conditions,
secure additional financing, if needed, and engage in opportunistic
transactions. Moreover, we may not satisfy the financial ratios and tests under
our senior credit facilities due to events that are beyond our control. The
failure to satisfy any of the financial ratios and tests could result in a
default under our senior credit facilities. Following a default under our senior
credit facilities, the lenders could declare all amounts outstanding to be
immediately due and payable. If we could not repay such amounts, the lenders
could foreclose on the collateral granted to them to secure such indebtedness.
See "--The Notes are subordinate to other debt that encumbers our assets." If
the lenders accelerated the indebtedness outstanding under our senior credit
facilities, there can be no assurance that we could repay such indebtedness, and
there can be no assurance that we could pay amounts due in respect of our other
indebtedness with our remaining assets, including the Notes. See "Certain
Indebtedness--Senior Credit Facilities" and "Description of the Notes--Ranking."

Holders of the Notes may face tax and bankruptcy concerns.
We issued the Notes at a substantial discount from their principal amount at
maturity. Original issue discount (i.e., the difference between the "stated
redemption price at maturity" of the Notes, including all cash payments of
principal and interest, and the "issue price" of the Notes) accrues from the
original issue date of the Notes and will be included in a holder's gross income
for federal income tax purposes before the holder receives the cash payment of
such interest. See "Certain U.S. Federal Tax Considerations--Tax Consequences to
U.S. Holders." U.S. federal income tax law may postpone or limit our deduction
of interest or original issue discount. See "Certain U.S. Federal Tax
Considerations--Applicable High Yield Discount Obligations." U.S. federal income
tax law limits the use of corporate net operating loss carryforwards following
certain ownership changes in a corporation which may limit our ability to use
the net operating loss carryforwards we have experienced or acquired to date to
reduce future tax liabilities.
If a bankruptcy case were commenced by or against us under the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code, the claim of a holder of the Notes with respect to the principal amount of
such Notes may be limited to an amount equal to the sum of the initial offering
price and that portion of the original issue discount that is not deemed to
constitute "unmatured interest" for purposes of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Any
original issue discount that had not amortized as of the date of any such
bankruptcy filing could constitute "unmatured interest" for purposes of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code. To the extent that the U.S. Bankruptcy Code differs from the
Internal Revenue Code in determining the method of amortization of original
issue discount, a holder of the Notes may recognize taxable gain or loss upon
payment of such holder's claim in bankruptcy.
We may not be able to satisfy our obligations owed to the holders of the Notes
upon a change of control.
Upon the occurrence of a "change of control" as defined in the indenture
governing the Notes, each holder of the Notes will have the right to require us
to repurchase such holder's Notes at a price equal to 101% of the accreted value
of such Notes or the principal amount at maturity, as applicable, together with
accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. Certain events which
would constitute a change of control under the indenture governing the Notes
would also constitute a default under our senior credit facilities. In addition,
our senior credit facilities effectively prevent the repurchase of the Notes by
us in the event of our change of control unless all amounts outstanding under
our senior credit facilities are repaid in full. Our failure to repurchase the
Notes would be a default under the indenture governing the Notes, which would be
a default under our senior credit facilities. The inability to repay all
indebtedness outstanding under our senior credit facilities upon acceleration
would also be a default under the indenture governing the Notes. Any default
under our senior credit facilities or the indenture governing the Notes would
materially adversely affect our business, operations and financial results as
well as the market price of the Notes. In the event of a change of control, we
may not have sufficient assets to satisfy all obligations under our senior
credit facilities and the indenture governing the Notes. Any debt we incur in
the future may also prohibit certain events or transactions that would
constitute a change of control under the indenture governing the Notes. See
"Certain Indebtedness--Senior Credit Facilities" and "Description of the Notes--
Change of Control."
We may enter into transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or
recapitalizations, or highly leveraged transactions, that do not constitute a
change of control under the indenture governing the Notes. Any of these
transactions may result in an increase in our debt or otherwise affect our
capital structure, harm our credit ratings or have a material adverse affect on
holders of the Notes. See "Description of the Notes--Change of Control."
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that may be incorrect.
All statements in this prospectus that are not statements of historical facts
are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements concern our strategy,
future operations, technical capabilities, construction plan and schedule,
commercial operations schedule, funding needs, prospective acquisitions or joint
ventures, financing sources, pricing, future regulatory approvals, markets, size
of markets for wireless communications services, financial position, estimated
revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management, as
well as information concerning expected actions of third parties such as
equipment suppliers, service providers and roaming partners, and expected
characteristics of competing systems. Although we believe that the expectations
underlying such forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking
statements are inherently speculative, and they may be incorrect. Our business,
operations and financial results may differ materially from the expectations
expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements in this prospectus. You
should consider carefully the factors described in this section and the other
information in this prospectus before deciding to exchange the Notes.
The information set forth under "Business--Network Development," other than
historical information, the statements in this prospectus regarding the years
during which we expect to continue to incur significant operating losses and to
generate negative cash flow from operating activities and the statements in this
prospectus regarding our anticipated capital needs are forward-looking
statements based upon a number of specific assumptions. These assumptions
include the following:
-24-
<PAGE>
. we will not incur any unanticipated costs in the construction of our
network;
. we will be able to compete successfully in each of our markets;
. demand for our services will meet wireless communications industry
projections;
. our network will satisfy the requirements set forth in our agreements
with AT&T and support the services we expect to provide;
. the capacity of our network will be sufficient to meet the level of
service reflected in our business plan;
. we will be successful in working with AT&T and the other SunCom
companies, as well as with other providers of wireless communications
services and roaming partners, to ensure effective marketing of our
network and the services we intend to offer;
. there will be no change in any governmental regulation or the
administration of existing governmental regulations that requires a
material change in the operation of our business; and
. there will be no change in any of our material contracts that adversely
affects us.
Although we believe that these assumptions are reasonable, they may be
incorrect. If one or more of these assumptions is incorrect, our business,
operations and financial results may differ materially from the expectations,
expressed or implied, in the forward-looking statements in this prospectus.
If holders fail to exchange the Old Notes for the Exchange Notes, it may weaken
the market for the unexchanged Old Notes, as well as for the Exchange Notes.
We will issue the Exchange Notes in exchange for the Old Notes, only after
timely receipt by the Exchange Agent of such Old Notes, a properly completed and
duly executed Letter of Transmittal and all other required documentation.
Holders of the Old Notes desiring to tender such Old Notes in exchange for the
Exchange Notes should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. Neither
we nor the Exchange Agent is under any duty to notify holders of defects or
irregularities with respect to tenders of the Old Notes for exchange. The Old
Notes that are not tendered or are tendered but not accepted will, following
consummation of the Exchange Offer, continue to be subject to the existing
restrictions upon transfer. In addition, any holder of the Old Notes who
tenders in the Exchange Offer to distribute the Exchange Notes must comply with
the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in
connection with any resale transaction. Each broker-dealer that receives the
Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for the Old Notes, where such
broker-dealer acquired such Old Notes as a result of market-making activities or
any other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus
in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. To the extent that the
Old Notes are tendered and accepted in the Exchange Offer, the trading market
for untendered and tendered but unaccepted Old Notes could be adversely affected
due to the limited amount, or "float," of the Old Notes that are expected to
remain outstanding following the Exchange Offer. Generally, a lower "float" of
a security could result in less demand to purchase such security and could
result in lower prices for such security. For the same reasons, to the extent
that a large amount of the Old Notes are not tendered or are tendered and not
accepted in the Exchange Offer, the trading market for the Exchange Notes could
be adversely affected. See "The Exchange Offer" and "Plan of Distribution."
There is no public market for the Notes and there are restrictions on the resale
of the Notes.
As of the date hereof, the only registered holder of the Old Notes is Cede &
Co., as its nominee. We believe that, as of the date hereof, such holder is not
our "affiliate," as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.
Prior to the private offering of the Old Notes, there had been no market for the
Notes. We cannot ensure that there will be a liquid trading market for the
Notes, or any market at all. We do not intend to list the Exchange Notes on any
securities exchange, but the Old Notes have been designated for trading in the
PORTAL Market. The Exchange Notes are new securities with no established
trading market. The Exchange Notes may trade at a discount from their initial
offering price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar
securities, our performance and other factors. Chase Securities Inc. ("CSI"),
one of the initial purchasers of the Old Notes, has told us that they intend to
make a market in the Exchange Notes, as well as the Old Notes, as the law
permits. CSI is not obligated to make a market, and may discontinue any such
activities at any time without notice. In addition, CSI may limit any market-
making activities during the Exchange Offer and the pendency of the Shelf
Registration Statement, as defined in the
-25-
<PAGE>
"The Exchange Offer-Terms of the Exchange Offer." We cannot ensure that an
active market for the Notes will develop. See "The Exchange Offer" and "Plan of
Distribution."
-26-
<PAGE>
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive proceeds from the Exchange Offer. The net proceeds from
the offering of the Old Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts
and estimated fees and expenses payable by us, were approximately $317.0
million. We used $40.0 million of the net proceeds to repay vendor financing
from Lucent. We intend to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering of
the Old Notes, together with proceeds from sales of our equity securities,
borrowings under our senior credit facilities, other vendor financing provided
by Lucent and internally generated cash, to fund capital expenditures,
acquisitions of PCS licenses, operating losses and other working capital
requirements. See "Business--Network Development" and "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and
Capital Resources."

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
History
TeleCorp Holding was incorporated on July 29, 1996 to participate in the FCC's
auction of F-Block PCS licenses in April 1997 as a "designated entity" and "very
small business," as defined by the FCC. TeleCorp Holding obtained PCS licenses
in the New Orleans, Memphis, Beaumont and Little Rock BTAs, and certain other
licenses that were subsequently transferred to unrelated entities.
TeleCorp PCS, Inc. was incorporated on November 14, 1997 by the controlling
stockholders of TeleCorp Holding. In January 1998, we entered into a venture
with AT&T under which AT&T contributed certain PCS licenses to us in exchange
for an equity interest in TeleCorp and sold additional PCS licenses to us for
$21.0 million. In July 1998, we received final FCC approval for the venture and,
in connection with the consummation of the venture, we entered into exclusivity,
licensing, roaming and long distance agreements. We are AT&T's exclusive
provider of facilities-based mobile wireless communications services in our
licensed markets and we use the AT&T brand name and logo together with the
SunCom name and logo, giving equal emphasis to each. In addition, TeleCorp
Holding became a wholly owned subsidiary of TeleCorp.
In the first quarter of 1999, we commenced commercial operations in each of
our major domestic markets, after having launched our New Orleans market for
roaming services in late December 1998. Accordingly, for periods prior to 1999
we were a development stage company. We plan to launch our service in our Puerto
Rico markets during the third quarter of 1999.
We recently acquired 10 MHz F-Block PCS licenses covering the Baton Rouge,
Houma, Hammond and Lafayette, Louisiana BTAs from Digital PCS, for $2.3 million
of our common and preferred stock and the assumption of $4.1 million of debt
owed to the U.S. government related to these licenses. The debt is shown on our
balance sheet net of a discount of $0.7 million reflecting the below market
interest rate on the debt. We also recently acquired a 20 MHz PCS license and
related assets covering the San Juan MTA from AT&T. On May 24, 1999, we sold to
AT&T $40.0 million of our preferred stock. On May 25, 1999, we purchased the
license and related assets from AT&T for $95.0 million in cash. In addition, we
reimbursed AT&T $3.2 million for microwave relocation and $1.5 million for other
expenses it incurred in connection with such acquisition. In addition, we
recently acquired 15 MHz C-Block PCS licenses covering the Alexandria, Lake
Charles and Monroe, Louisiana BTAs from Wireless 2000, for approximately $0.4
million of common and preferred stock, the assumption of $7.4 million of debt
owed to the U.S. government related to these licenses, $0.2 million in cash in
connection with microwave relocation and $0.4 million in reimbursement of
interest paid on government debt related to the license. The U.S. government
debt is shown net of a discount of $1.3 million reflecting the below market
interest rate on the debt.
From time to time, we may enter into discussions regarding the acquisition of
other PCS licenses, including swapping our licenses for those of other PCS
license holders.
We participated in the FCC's reauction of C-Block and other licenses for
additional spectrum through Viper Wireless. On April 20, 1999, the FCC announced
that the reauction ended, and Viper Wireless was the high bidder for additional
spectrum in New Orleans, Houma and Alexandria, Louisiana, San Juan, Puerto Rico,
Jackson, Tennessee and Beaumont, Texas. On June 3, 1999, a petition was filed by
certain secured creditors of DCR PCS and Pocket Communications against the
application of Viper Wireless for the Houma and New Orleans licenses. The
petition seeks deferral of the grant of these licenses to Viper Wireless until
an appeal by the secured creditors of DCR PCS and Pocket Communications has been
resolved or, in the alternative, a condition noting that a pre-existing claim to
the licenses may exist if the secured creditors of DCR PCS and Pocket
Communications are successful in that appeal. The appeal seeks review of the
bankruptcy court's ruling concerning DCR PCS and Pocket Communications
permitting DCR PCS to file its election notice, which ultimately resulted in the
return of these licenses to the FCC, over the objection of the secured creditors
of DCR PCS and Pocket Communications. Viper Wireless filed an opposition to the
petition on June 15, 1999. At present, TeleCorp Holding owns 85% of Viper
Wireless, and Mr. Vento and Mr. Sullivan together own the remaining 15%. Mr.
Vento and Mr. Sullivan together have voting control over Viper Wireless. AT&T
and certain of our cash equity investors have committed an aggregate of up to
$32.3 million in exchange for additional shares of our preferred and common
stock.
Revenue
We derive our revenue from:
-31-
<PAGE>
. Service. We sell wireless personal communications services. The
various types of service revenue associated with wireless
communications service for our subscribers include monthly recurring
charges and monthly non-recurring airtime charges for local, long
distance and roaming airtime used in excess of pre-subscribed usage.
Our customers' roaming charges are rate plan dependent, based on the
number of pooled minutes included in their plans. Service revenue also
includes monthly non-recurring airtime usage associated with our
prepaid subscribers and non-recurring activation and de-activation
service charges.
. Equipment. We sell wireless personal communications handsets and
accessories that are used by our customers in connection with our
wireless services.
. Roaming. We charge monthly non-recurring outcollect fees for other
wireless companies' customers using our network facilities to place
and receive wireless services.
Cost of Revenue
Equipment. We purchase personal communications handsets and accessories from
third party vendors to resell to our customers for use in connection with our
services. The cost of handsets is inherently higher than the resale price to the
customer. We record the excess cost as a sales and marketing operational
expense. We do not manufacture any of this equipment.
Incollect Fees. We pay fees to other wireless communications companies based
on airtime usage of our customers on other communications networks.
Clearinghouse Fees. We pay fees to a third party clearinghouse for processing
our call data records and performing monthly inter-carrier financial settlements
for all roaming incollect and outcollect charges.
Variable Interconnect. We pay monthly non-recurring charges associated with
interconnection with other carriers' networks. These fees are based on minutes
of use by our customers.
Variable Long Distance. We pay monthly non-recurring usage charges to other
communications companies for long distance service provided to our customers.
These variable charges are based on our subscribers' usage, applied at pre-
negotiated rates with the other carriers.
Operating Expense
Operations and development. Our operations and development expense includes
all employee-based charges, including engineering operations and support, field
technicians, network implementation support, product development, and
engineering management. This expense also includes monthly recurring charges
directly associated with the maintenance of network facilities and equipment.
Selling and marketing. Our selling and marketing expense includes all employee
based charges, including brand management, external communications, retail
distribution, sales training, direct, indirect, third party and telemarketing
support. In addition to employee based charges, we also record the excess cost
of handsets over the resale price as a cost of selling and marketing. We
distribute our products and services through direct and indirect sales efforts,
agents and telemarketing. Our direct sales and marketing efforts focus on
attracting and retaining small, medium and large business customers in our
target markets. We sell through company owned retail stores, indirect sales
partners, third party agents and resellers in an effort to efficiently increase
our consumer based subscribers.
General and administrative. Our general and administrative expense includes
all employee based charges, including customer support, billing, information
technology, finance, accounting and legal services. Certain functions, such as
customer support, billing, finance, accounting and legal services are likely to
remain centralized in order to achieve economies of scale.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is
computed using the straight-line method, generally over three to ten years,
based upon estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the
lesser of the useful lives of the assets or the term of the lease. Network
development costs incurred to ready our network for use are capitalized.
Amortization of network development costs begins when the network equipment is
ready for its intended use and will be amortized over its estimated useful life
ranging from five to ten years.
Capital expenditures. Our principal capital requirements for deployment of our
wireless network include installation of digital equipment and, to a lesser
extent, site development work.

Interest Income (Expense). Interest income is earned primarily on our cash and
cash equivalents. Interest expense through March 31, 1999 consists of interest
due on our senior credit facilities, vendor financing, and debt owed to the U.S.
government related to our licenses.
Results of Operations
Three Months ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months ended March 31, 1998
For the three months ended March 31, 1999, service revenue was approximately
$0.5 million, equipment revenue totaled approximately $1.8 million and roaming
revenue exceeded $1.9 million. We began offering wireless services in each of
our major domestic markets in the first quarter of 1999 and a large portion of
our revenue resulted from servicing AT&T's roaming customers in these markets.
We generated no revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
Cost of revenue, consisting mainly of cost of equipment and incollect expense,
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was approximately $2.8 million. We did
not generate any such cost for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
Operations and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999
was approximately $7.4 million. This expense was primarily related to the
engineering and operating staff required to implement and operate our network.
There was no operations and development expense for the three months ended March
31, 1998.
Selling and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was
approximately $8.0 million, as compared to approximately $0.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998. This increase was due to salary and benefits
for sales and marketing staff, as well as market research. The increase in sales
and marketing expense is mainly due to commencing services in our domestic
markets during the three months ended March 31, 1999.
General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999
was approximately $10.3 million, as compared to approximately $2.2 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase was due to the development
and growth of infrastructure and staffing related to information technology,
customer care and other administrative functions incurred in conjunction with
the commercial launch of our markets during the three months ended March 31,
1999.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31,
1999 was approximately $3.1 million, as compared to approximately $39,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998. This expense was related to depreciation
of our fixed assets, as well as the initiation of amortization on PCS licenses
and AT&T agreements upon the commercial launch of our domestic markets.
Interest expense, net of interest income, for the three months ended March 31,
1999 was approximately $3.0 million, as compared to approximately $90,000 for
the quarter ended March 31, 1998. This increase in interest expenses was related
to borrowings under our senior credit facilities of $225.0 million and the
issuance of $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes under the vendor
financing provided by Lucent.
Year ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year ended December 31, 1997
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $29,231. This revenue
resulted from servicing AT&T's roaming customers in certain of our Louisiana
markets. We began offering wireless services in each of our major domestic
markets in the first quarter of 1999. We generated no revenue for the year ended
1997.
Operations and development expense for the year ended December 31, 1998 was
approximately $9.8 million. This expense was primarily related to an increase in
engineering and operating staff devoted to the implementation of future
operations of our network. There was no operations and development expense for
the year ended December 31, 1997.
Selling and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998 was
approximately $6.3 million, as compared to approximately $0.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 1997. This increase was due to salary and benefits for
sales and marketing staff as well as market research. The year-over-year
increase was due to the increase in corporate and regional sales and marketing
staff in order to prepare for domestic market launches in the first quarter of
1999.
General and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 1998 was
approximately $26.2 million, as compared to approximately $2.6 million for the
year ended December 31, 1997. The year-over-year increase was due to the
development and growth of infrastructure and staffing related to information
technology, customer care and other administrative functions incurred in the
preparation for commercial launch of our markets in the first quarter of 1999.
-33-
<PAGE>
Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 1998 was
approximately $1.6 million, as compared to approximately $11,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1997. This expense was related to depreciation of furniture,
fixtures and office equipment, as well as the initiation of amortization on
certain AT&T agreements.
Interest expense, net of interest income, for the year ended December 31, 1998
was approximately $7.2 million, as compared to approximately $0.4 million for
the year ended December 31, 1997. This interest expense was related to certain
notes payable to shareholders and affiliates. This increase in interest expense
was related to borrowings under the senior credit facilities of $225.0 million
and the issuance of $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes under the
vendor financing provided by Lucent.
From July 29, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 1996
Selling and marketing expense and general and administrative expense for the
period from July 29, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 1996 was approximately
$0.5 million, which were associated with salary, benefits and expenses of
administrative personnel, as well as legal and other costs associated with the
formation of TeleCorp.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, our activities have consisted principally of hiring a
management team, raising capital, negotiating strategic business relationships,
planning and participating in the PCS auction, initiating research and
development, conducting market research and developing our wireless services
offering and network. We have been relying on the proceeds from borrowings and
issuances of capital stock, rather than revenues, for our primary sources of
cash flow. We began commercial operations in December 1998 and began earning
recurring revenues by the end of the first quarter of 1999.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $11.2 million at March 31, 1999, as compared
to $111.7 million at December 31, 1998. This decrease was the result of incoming
cash provided by financing activities of $53.5 million, offset by $21.5 million
of cash used in operating activities and $132.5 million of cash used in network
development and investing activities.
During the three months ended March 31,1999, we increased long-term debt by
$50.0 million and received $3.5 million of preferred stock subscriptions.
Capital expenditures required to develop and construct our network totaled
$114.7 million and we were required to deposit $17.8 million with the FCC for
PCS licenses during the three months ended March 31, 1999. Cash used in
operating activities of $21.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999
resulted from a net loss of $30.3 million that was partially offset by non-cash
charges of $3.9 million and changes in assets and liabilities of $4.9 million.
From inception through June 1998, our primary source of financing was certain
notes issued to our stockholders. In July 1996, we issued $0.5 million of
subordinated promissory notes to our stockholders. We converted these notes into
50 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in April 1997. In December 1997, we
issued various promissory notes to our stockholders. We converted these notes
into mandatorily redeemable preferred stock. From January 1 to June 30, 1998, we
borrowed approximately $22.5 million in the form of promissory notes to existing
and prospective stockholders to satisfy working capital needs. We converted
these notes into equity of TeleCorp in July 1998 in connection with the
consummation of the venture with AT&T.
In connection with consummation of the venture with AT&T, we received
unconditional and irrevocable equity commitments from our stockholders in the
aggregate amount of $128.0 million in return for the issuance of preferred and
common stock. As of March 31, 1999, approximately $55.5 million of such equity
commitments had been funded. The remaining equity commitments will be funded in
an installment of $36.3 million in July 2000 and $36.2 million in July 2001. We
received additional irrevocable equity commitments from our stockholders in the
aggregate amount of $5.0 million in return for the issuance of preferred and
common stock in connection with the Digital PCS acquisition. Our stockholders
funded $2.2 million of these equity commitments on April 30, 1999, and will fund
$1.4 million in each of July 2000 and July 2001. We have received additional
irrevocable equity commitments from our stockholders in the aggregate amount of
approximately $40.0 million in return for the issuance of preferred and common
stock in connection with the Puerto Rico acquisition. We received $12.0 million
of these commitments on May 24, 1999, and $6.0 million will be funded in
December 1999 and $11.0 million will be funded on each of May 24, 2000 and May
24, 2001. We also received irrevocable equity commitments from our stockholders
in the amount of approximately $32.3 million in connection with Viper Wireless'
participation in the FCC's reauction of C-Block licenses. We received
approximately $6.5 million of these equity commitments on May 14, 1999, and the
remaining approximately $25.8 million will be available when we make payments to
the FCC with respect to these licenses or if the FCC does not refund amounts we
paid to them as deposits in connection with the reauction within 180 days of the
date of the deposit. In aggregate we have obtained $205.3 million of equity
commitments.

<PAGE>
In July 1998, we entered into senior credit facilities with a group of lenders
for an aggregate amount of $525.0 million. Our senior credit facilities provide
for (1) a $150.0 million senior secured term loan that matures in January 2007,
(2) a $225.0 million senior secured term loan that matures in January 2008, (3)
a $150.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility that matures in
January 2007, and (4) an uncommitted $75.0 million senior secured term loan in
the form of an expansion facility. We must repay the term loans in quarterly
installments, beginning in September 2002, and the commitments to make loans
under the revolving credit facility are automatically and permanently reduced
beginning in April 2005. As of March 31, 1999, $225.0 million had been drawn
under the senior credit facilities. See "Certain Indebtedness--Senior Credit
Facilities."
In May 1998, we entered into a vendor procurement contract with Lucent, under
which we agreed to purchase radio, switching and related equipment and services
for the development of our network. Lucent agreed to provide us with $80.0
million of junior subordinated vendor financing. This $80.0 million consisted of
$40.0 million aggregate principal amount of Increasing Rate Series A notes due
2012 (the "Series A Notes") and $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of
Increasing Rate Series B notes due 2012 (the "Series B Notes").
As of March 31, 1999, we had outstanding approximately $40.5 million of the
Series A Notes, including $0.5 million of Series A Notes issued as payment in
kind, plus $0.3 million of additional accrued interest. The $40.5 million
principal amount of Series A Notes is subject to mandatory prepayment on a
dollar for dollar basis out of the proceeds of future equity offerings in excess
of $130.0 million.
Lucent has agreed to make available up to an additional $80.0 million of
junior subordinated vendor financing in amounts of up to 30% of the value of
equipment, software and services provided by Lucent in connection with any
additional markets we acquire. Any notes purchased under this facility would be
divided equally between Series A and Series B Notes. As a result of the markets
acquired in connection with the Puerto Rico acquisition, we have $15.0 million
of availability under this facility, consisting of $7.5 million of Series A
Notes and $7.5 million of Series B Notes. The terms of these Series A and Series
B Notes are identical to the terms of the original Series A and Series B Notes,
with the exception of their maturities. These notes will mature 6 months after
the maturity of the Notes. In the event we acquire any new markets, we would
have up to an additional $65.0 million available to us under this facility. See
"Certain Indebtedness--Vendor Financing."
Pro forma for the Transactions as of March 31, 1999, we would have had
approximately $20.7 million of debt owed to the U.S. government related to our
C-Block and F-Block licenses. This debt is shown on our balance sheet net of
discounts of $3.2 million reflecting the below market interest rates on the
debt. We assumed $4.1 million of debt to the U.S. government in connection with
the Digital PCS acquisition. The debt is shown on our balance sheet net of a
discount of $0.7 million reflecting the below market interest rate on the debt.
In addition, we assumed $7.4 million of debt to the U.S. government in
connection with the Wireless 2000 acquisition. This debt is shown on our balance
sheet net of a discount of $1.3 million reflecting the below market interest
rate on the debt.
Total capital expenditures were approximately $194.7 million for 1998. The
continued construction of our network and the marketing and distribution of
wireless communications products and services will require substantial
additional capital. We will incur significant amounts of debt to implement our
business plan and will therefore be highly leveraged. We estimate that our total
capital requirements from our inception until December 31, 2002 will be
approximately $1.2 billion. These requirements include license acquisition
costs, capital expenditures for network construction, operating cash flow losses
and other working capital costs, debt service and closing fees and expenses.
Capital expenditures from inception to March 31, 1999 were approximately $265.5
million. We estimate that capital expenditures will total approximately $159.4
million for the year ended December 31, 1999.
We believe that the capital raised to date, which includes proceeds from the
offering of the Old Notes and the funding of the irrevocable equity commitments
from our stockholders will be sufficient to meet our projected capital
requirements through December 31, 2002. Our ability to meet our capital
requirements is subject to our ability to construct our network and obtain
customers in accordance with our plans and assumptions and a number of other
risks and uncertainties including those discussed under the heading "Risk
Factors." There can be no assurance that the build out of our network will be
completed as projected or that we will be able to generate positive cash flow.
If any of our projections are incorrect, we may not be able to meet our
projected capital requirements.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
We are not exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates since all of our
services are invoiced in U.S. dollars. We are exposed to the impact of interest
rate changes on our short-term cash investments, consisting of U.S. Treasury
obligations and certain other investments in respect of institutions with the
highest credit ratings, all of which have maturities of three months or less.
These short term investments carry a degree of interest rate risk. We believe
that the impact of a 10% increase or decline in interest rates would not be
material to our investment income.
-35-
<PAGE>
We use interest rate swaps to hedge the effects of fluctuations in interest
rates on our senior credit facilities. These transactions meet the requirements
for hedge accounting, including designation and correlation. These interest rate
swaps are managed in accordance with our policies and procedures. We do not
enter into these transactions for trading purposes. The resulting gains or
losses, measured by quoted market prices, are accounted for as part of the
transactions being hedged, except that losses not expected to be recovered upon
the completion of hedged transactions are expensed. Gains or losses associated
with interest rate swaps are computed as the difference between the interest
expense per the amount hedged using the fixed rate compared to a floating rate
over the term of the swap agreement. As of March 31, 1999, we have entered into
six interest rate swap agreements with various counterparties totaling a
notional amount of $225.0 million to convert our variable rate debt to fixed
rate debt. The interest rate swaps had no material impact on our consolidated
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998 or the three
month period ended March 31, 1999.
Year 2000
The year-2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits, rather than four digits, to define the applicable year. Programs that
have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. This could result in a major system failure or
miscalculations, including an inability to process transactions, send invoices
or engage in similar normal business activities. Due to our reliance on computer
hardware and software, telecommunications and related service industries are
highly susceptible to the year-2000 issue. Over the past two years, as we
purchased the various components that comprise our internal information
technology systems, we received representations from our vendors that such
components were year-2000 compliant. We have begun the process of evaluating our
information technology systems to verify the accuracy of the representations
made by our vendors. Our costs to date have been immaterial, and we anticipate
that our total costs in evaluating our information technology system will not
exceed $5.0 million, including costs to build the necessary redundancy into our
systems. We expect to complete such evaluation by the end of the third quarter
of 1999.
Our non-information technology systems may also be susceptible to the year-
2000 issues. In particular, our network switches contain embedded components
that are date sensitive. We have received assurances from Lucent that all our
network hardware purchased from them is year-2000 compliant. The failure of our
network switches would have a material adverse effect on our business.
We are also dependent upon the ability of AT&T, AT&T's roaming partners and
EDS to ensure that their software and equipment are year-2000 compliant. We rely
on AT&T to provide our customers with over-the-air activation and roaming. We
rely on EDS to provide clearinghouse services. There can be no guarantee that
their systems will be year-2000 compliant on a timely basis or that their
systems will be compatible with our systems. This could have a material adverse
effect on our business.

BUSINESS
We intend to become a leading provider of digital wireless communications
services in targeted markets in the south-central and northeast United States
and in Puerto Rico. We are the exclusive provider of facilities-based mobile
wireless communications services for AT&T in our markets. TeleCorp was founded
in 1996 by Gerald T. Vento, Thomas H. Sullivan and certain private equity
investors to acquire strategic PCS licenses. In 1998, we entered into a venture
with AT&T in which AT&T contributed certain PCS licenses to us in exchange for
an equity interest in our company. In addition, we have the right to use the
AT&T brand name and logo together with our own brand name and logo, giving equal
emphasis to each. We are AT&T's preferred roaming partner in our markets and
receive preferred long distance rates from AT&T.
Our PCS licenses cover approximately 16.0 million Pops, including those in the
major population centers of New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Memphis,
Tennessee, Little Rock, Arkansas, Manchester, Concord and Nashua, New Hampshire,
Worcester, Massachusetts and San Juan, Puerto Rico, as well as vacation
destinations such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Cape Cod and Martha's
Vineyard. Our markets have attractive economic and demographic characteristics
and are experiencing strong growth in use of wireless services. These markets,
which attract over 24 million visitors per year, are major roaming markets for
AT&T's customers.
We have successfully launched our services in 14 markets, including all of our
major domestic markets. Our launched network covers approximately 40% of our
domestic licensed Pops, and by year-end 1999 we expect our network will cover
approximately 50% of our total licensed Pops. In December 1998, we began
servicing roaming customers in certain of our Louisiana markets and we carried
more than 4.2 million minutes in the first 60 days of operation in those
markets. We have a strong distribution presence in our launched markets with 22
company-owned stores and more than 140 retail outlets where customers can buy
our services. Additionally, we market our services through business-to-business
representatives, telemarketing and the Internet.
Our goal is to provide our customers with simple, easy-to-use wireless
services with coverage across the nation, superior call quality, personalized
customer care and competitive pricing in the markets we serve. We believe that,
as an AT&T affiliate, we will attract customers through the national brand and
coast-to-coast roaming provided by AT&T and its roaming partners. We have also
entered into an agreement with Triton PCS and Tritel Communications, two other
companies similarly affiliated with AT&T, to adopt SunCom as a common regional
brand that is co-branded with AT&T, giving equal emphasis to each. We and the
other SunCom companies are establishing the SunCom brand as a basis for building
a strong regional presence with a service area covering approximately 43.0
million Pops.

The average population density of our markets is approximately 38% greater
than the national average.
Services and Features
We provide an array of wireless communications services and features through
our network.
Wireless Mobility. Our primary service is wireless mobility, featuring tri-
mode handsets, enhanced voice clarity, improved protection from eavesdropping
and a broad feature set. Our basic wireless service offering includes caller ID,
three-way conference calling, call waiting, voicemail, paging and short-
messaging.
Feature-Rich Handsets. As part of our basic service offering, we provide
easy-to-use, interactive menu-driven handsets that can be activated over the
air. These handsets primarily feature word prompts and easy-to-use menus rather
than numeric codes to operate handset functions. These handsets allow mobile
access to Internet services and will have the ability to interact with personal
computers.
Advanced Tri-Mode Handsets. Through the use of tri-mode handsets, which are
compatible with PCS, digital cellular and analog cellular frequencies and
service modes, we offer customers coast-to-coast roaming across a variety of
wireless networks. Tri-mode handsets incorporate a roaming database (which can
be updated over the air) that controls roaming preferences, typically completing
calls using the best available system (from both quality and cost perspectives).
We offer our customers use of technologically advanced Nokia and Ericsson
handsets.
Extended Battery Life. Tri-mode handsets offer significantly extended
battery life over earlier technologies, providing up to 14 days of stand-by
battery life. Handsets operating on a digital system are capable of "sleep-mode"
while turned on but not in use, thus improving efficiency and extending battery
life. We expect that this feature will increase usage, especially for incoming
calls, as users will be able to leave the phone on for significantly longer
periods. The use of tri-mode handsets further extends battery life by using a
digital system for roaming when in areas covered by digital systems.
Improved Voice Quality. We believe the version of TDMA we are using offers
significantly improved voice quality, more powerful error correction, less
susceptibility to call fading and enhanced interference rejection, which results
in fewer dropped calls, compared to earlier versions of TDMA.
Voice Privacy and Call Security. Digital technology is inherently more
secure than analog technologies. This security provides increased voice privacy
for our customer and enhanced fraud protection.
Paging and Short-Messaging. Our network has the capability to send and
receive pages and short text messages. These services allow customers to use
less expensive forms of wireless communications when conversation is not
necessary. We offer short-messaging as a bundled service on select packages and
as an extra feature available to all customers.
Pre-Paid Services. We offer our customers the option to subscribe for a pre-
paid service which enables them to better monitor and control their usage. Pre-
pay customers are able to use services within our licensed areas and to access
all of AT&T's wireless network as well as those of its participating roaming
partners who have compatible equipment. We provide an expansive feature set to
our pre-pay customers, including caller ID and call waiting, and we market the
pre-paid services to a broad segment of customers.
Wireless In-Building Services. As the use of wireless devices becomes more
widespread, consumers increasingly are demanding wireless services which extend
into office buildings, subways, airports, shopping centers and private homes. We
use "micro-cellular" technology to offer corporate users full in-building
coverage and four-digit wireless office dialing. In addition, we are working
with a number of hardware and software suppliers to develop next generation
full-scale wireless office services including wireless PBX and wireless local
area network services, which will enable users to use wireless handsets both
inside and outside of the office.
Data and Internet Services. Because of the quality of digital signal
transmission, wireless communications systems are suitable for the transmission
of wireless data services such as weather reports, sports summaries, fax
services, access to stock quote services, monitoring of alarm systems and remote
Internet access.
Marketing Strategy
Our marketing strategy has been developed on the basis of extensive market
research in each of our markets. This research indicates that limited coverage
of existing wireless systems, relatively high cost, inconsistent performance and
overall confusion
-39-
<PAGE>
about wireless services drive subscriber dissatisfaction and reduce the
attractiveness of wireless services for potential new subscribers. We believe
that our affiliation with the AT&T brand name and the distinctive advantages of
our TDMA network, combined with simplified, attractive pricing plans, will allow
us to capture significant market share from existing analog cellular providers
in our markets and to attract new wireless users. We are focusing our marketing
efforts on four primary market segments: corporate accounts, current cellular
users, individuals with the intent to purchase a wireless product within six
months and pre-paid subscribers. For each segment, we are creating a specific
marketing program including a service package, pricing plan and promotional
strategy. Management believes that targeted service offerings will increase
customer loyalty and satisfaction, thereby reducing customer turnover.
Brand
We have formed Affiliate License Co. with Triton PCS and Tritel
Communications, other companies similarly affiliated with AT&T, to adopt a
common regional brand, SunCom. Each of the SunCom companies owns one-third of
Affiliate License Co., which owns the SunCom name. We and the other SunCom
companies license the SunCom name from Affiliate License Co. We market our
wireless services as "SunCom, Member of the AT&T Wireless Network" and use the
globally recognized AT&T brand name and logo in equal size and prominence with
the SunCom brand name and logo. The use of the AT&T brand reinforces an
association with reliability and quality. We and the other SunCom companies are
establishing the SunCom brand as a strong local presence with a service area
covering approximately 43 million Pops. We enjoy preferred pricing on equipment,
handset packaging and distribution by virtue of our affiliation with AT&T and
the other SunCom companies. We hope to achieve additional production and
packaging economies of scale by working with the other SunCom companies. See
"Risk Factors--Our success depends upon our relationship with AT&T and its
success," "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--AT&T Agreements" and
"--Other Related Party Transactions."
Pricing
Our pricing plans are competitive and straightforward, offering large buckets
of minutes, large local calling areas and usage enhancing features. We offer
distinctive pricing plans tailored for each of our market segments. One way we
differentiate ourselves from existing wireless competitors is through our
pricing policies. We offer pricing plans designed to encourage customers to
enter into long term service contract plans. We also offer shared minute pools,
which are available for businesses and families who have multiple wireless users
who want to share the bucket of minutes.
In May 1998, AT&T introduced "Digital One Rate," a suite of rate plans that
has caused a redefinition of the concept of local service area in the U.S.
wireless marketplace. These rate plans include large buckets of minutes which
can be used locally, or practically anywhere in the United States, on AT&T's
wireless network and through AT&T's extensive network of roaming agreements.
These plans also bundle long distance and roaming charges. Subscribers can make
calls to or from most locations in the United States and pay no additional
roaming fees or long distance charges. The Digital One Rate and other flat rate
plans are also causing a shift in calling patterns in the wireless industry.
Although these plans are too new to predict the long-range effect on consumer
behavior, it appears that usage, and in particular long distance usage, has
risen since the introduction of these plans.
We offer our customers our national SunRate plans, which allow them to make
calls practically anywhere in the United States without paying additional
roaming or long distance charges. By contrast, competing flat rate plans
generally restrict flat rate usage to such competitors' owned networks. By
virtue of our roaming arrangements with AT&T and its roaming partners, we
believe we can offer a competitive national rate plan.
We believe the pre-paid subscriber segment represents a large market
opportunity, and we offer pricing plans that will drive growth in this category.
Pre-pay plans provide an opportunity for individuals whose credit profiles would
not otherwise allow them access to wireless communications to take advantage of
our services. In addition, our pre-pay plans provide an attractive alternative
for families and business users to control the usage of family members or
employees. We offer our pre-paid subscribers the same digital services and
features available to other customer segments. Typical pre-pay plans of
competitors, by contrast, provide low quality handsets and limited services and
features.
Bundling and Affinity Marketing
We may bundle our wireless communications services with other communications
services, including discounted long distance services, through strategic
alliances and resale agreements with AT&T and others. We also may offer service
options in partnership with local business and affinity marketing groups.
Examples of these arrangements include offering wireless services with utility
services, banking services, cable television, Internet access or alarm
monitoring services in conjunction with local information services. Such
offerings provide the customer access to information, such as account status,
weather and traffic reports, stock quotes, sports scores and text messages from
any location.

<PAGE>
Customer Care
We are committed to building strong customer relationships by providing
customers with service that exceeds expectations. We serve our customers from
our state-of-the-art facility in Memphis, Tennessee, which houses our customer
service, collections and anti-fraud personnel. Convergys provides backup call
center support and bilingual customer service from two facilities in Florida. We
have implemented a "one call resolution" approach to customer service through
the use of customer support tools, including access to online reference
information. In addition, we emphasize proactive and timely customer service,
including welcome packages and anniversary calls. We support our customer
service initiatives through employee compensation plans based on subscriber
quotas and retention. We use innovative service features to improve customer
satisfaction and reduce the cost of service delivery. For example, pre-paid
users hear a "whispered" announcement of time remaining in their account before
each call, which allows them to control usage and reduces balance inquiries to
customer service. We intend to expand our web-based services to include online
account specific information that allows customers to check billing, modify
service or otherwise manage their accounts.
We are developing a state-of-the-art data warehouse to provide timely access
to critical business information that can be used to provide customers with
desired services, such as real-time billing and automated notification of
remaining account balances. We also intend to use the data warehouse to cross-
link billing, marketing and customer care systems to collect customer profile
and usage information. This information provides the tools necessary to
increase revenue by analyzing channel and product profitability and reduces
customer acquisition costs by more effectively implementing marketing
strategies.
Advertising
We believe that the most successful marketing strategy is to establish a
strong local presence in each of our markets. We are directing our media and
promotional efforts at the community level with advertisements in local
publications and sponsorship of local and regional events. We combine our local
efforts with mass market strategies and tactics to build the SunCom and AT&T
brands locally. Our media efforts include television, radio, newspaper,
magazine, outdoor and Internet advertisements to promote our brand. In addition,
we use newspaper and radio advertising and our web page to promote specific
product offerings and direct marketing programs for targeted audiences.
Sales and Distribution
We use a mix of sales and distribution channels, including a network of
company stores, nationally recognized retailers, a direct sales force for
corporate accounts and direct marketing channels such as telesales, neighborhood
sales and online sales. We work with AT&T's sales channels to cooperatively
exchange leads and develop new business.
We are taking advantage of over-the-air activation features intrinsic to
digital technology to separate activation of service from the sale of the phone.
By separating activation and sale, we are able to ensure that knowledgeable
staff is communicating with customers. This allows for better informed customers
at the point of activation, with basic training in the use of their handsets and
appropriate expectations for their wireless service provider. We believe that
having better informed customers will lead to reduced customer turnover. In
addition, the separation of activation and sale of handsets reduces the overall
cost of the retail sales channel, because retailers have less involvement and
therefore lower sales commissions.
Company Stores
We make extensive use of company stores for the distribution and sale of our
handsets and services. Management believes that company stores offer a
considerable competitive advantage by providing a strong local presence, which
is required to achieve high penetration in suburban and rural areas. We also
believe that company stores offer one of the lowest customer acquisition costs
among our different distribution channels. Sales representatives in company
stores receive in-depth training to allow them to explain wireless
communications services simply and clearly. Company stores have three different
formats: flagship stores, express stores and kiosks. Our flagship stores are
located in the principal retail district in each market. Express stores are a
smaller retail format located in secondary markets. Kiosks are being deployed to
maximize our retail presence in each market and to take advantage of high
traffic areas, such as shopping malls and airports. We have opened 22 company-
owned stores.
Retail Outlets
We have negotiated distribution agreements with national and regional mass
merchandisers and consumer electronics retailers, including Office Depot,
Staples, Best Buy and Office Max. We currently have over 140 retail outlet
locations where customers can purchase our services. These distributors are
chosen based upon their ability to reach our target customers in our service
area. Our separation of activation and sale of handsets reduces retailer
involvement, which, in conjunction with the
-41-
<PAGE>
desirability of the AT&T name, we believe, attracts retailers to our handsets.
In some of these retail store locations, we are implementing a store-within-a-
store concept, which uses visual merchandising to leverage the brand awareness
created by both SunCom and AT&T advertising. The ease of distribution of shrink-
wrapped handsets appeals to mass merchandisers who have altered their in-store
merchandising to reflect the changing wireless marketplace. We support their
dedication of valuable floor space to wireless communications products through a
local team of retail merchandisers, attention-grabbing point of sale materials
and consumer appeal.
Direct Sales
We focus our direct sales distribution channel on high-revenue, high-
profitability corporate users. Our direct corporate sales force consists of
dedicated professionals targeting the wireless decision maker within large
corporations. We also benefit from AT&T's national corporate accounts sales
force. AT&T, in conjunction with us, supports marketing of our services to
AT&T's large national accounts located in certain of our service areas. We have
formed regional advisory groups as an additional way to interface with corporate
customers in our markets. These advisory groups are comprised of local business
leaders, who are also wireless users or prospective users, and are designed to
provide timely feedback regarding our proposed wireless offerings and establish
a customer base prior to launch. See "--Marketing Strategy."
Direct Marketing
We use direct marketing efforts such as direct mail and telemarketing. These
efforts are used to generate leads and stimulate prospects for our telemarketing
department. Telesales allow us to maintain low selling costs and to "up sell"
additional features or customized services.
Website
Our web page provides current information about us, our markets and our
product offerings. We are also establishing an online store on our website. The
web page conveys our marketing message and we expect it will generate customers
through online purchasing. We deliver all information that is required to make a
purchasing decision at our website. Customers are able to choose rate plans,
features, handsets and accessories. The online store will provide a secure
environment for transactions, and customers purchasing through the online store
will experience a similar business process to that of customers purchasing
service through other channels.
Network Development
We began commercial operations in December 1998 and have launched our services
in each of our major domestic markets. Our network now covers approximately 40%
of our domestic licensed Pops. We expect to launch our Puerto Rico market during
the third quarter of 1999.
Consistent with our strategy, we launched our services in each of our major
domestic markets, which have attractive characteristics for a high volume of
wireless communications usage, including metropolitan "downtown" areas, the
surrounding suburbs, well-utilized commuting and travel corridors, and popular
leisure and vacation destinations. Immediately upon launch, subscribers had
access to coast-to-coast coverage through roaming arrangements with AT&T and its
roaming partners (both within and outside our licensed areas). Within each
market, geographic coverage will be based upon changes in wireless
communications usage patterns, demographic changes within our licensed areas and
our experiences in those markets.
We intend to continue to meet our network development plan by using the
expertise of vendors recognized in the industry for providing high quality
services. Lucent is providing the necessary radio, switching and related
equipment for construction of our network. In addition, a number of other
experienced wireless vendors are assisting us in deploying our network.
Handsets
We purchase our handsets from Nokia and Ericsson at preferred prices through
our affiliation with AT&T and the other SunCom companies. We also have entered
into an arrangement with Brightpoint, a leading distributor for the wireless
industry, for the packaging and distribution of our handsets.
Network Construction
We have leased over 640 cell sites, including 149 that will be developed in
later phases of construction of our network, and we operate five mobile switches
and four switching centers. We designed our network architecture to optimize the
use of co-
-42-
<PAGE>
location on existing sites which minimizes the construction of new towers and
significantly reduces our need to obtain zoning approvals.
Network Operations
The effective operation of our network requires public switched
interconnection and backhaul agreements with other communications providers,
long distance interconnection, the implementation of roaming arrangements, the
development of network monitoring systems and the implementation of information
technology systems.
Switched Interconnection/Backhaul
Our network is connected to the public switched telephone network to
facilitate the origination and termination of traffic between our network and
both the local exchange and long distance carriers. We have signed agreements
with numerous carriers, including, among others, BellSouth in New Orleans, Time
Warner Telecom in Memphis, SBC Communications in Little Rock, Bell Atlantic in
New England and Puerto Rico Telephone in Puerto Rico.
Long Distance
We have executed a wholesale long distance agreement with AT&T providing for
preferred rates for long distance services.
Roaming
Through our arrangements with AT&T and via the use of tri-mode handsets, our
customers have roaming capabilities on AT&T's wireless network. Further, we have
the benefit of AT&T's roaming agreements with third party carriers at AT&T's
preferred pricing, including in-region roaming agreements covering all of our
launched service areas.
Network Monitoring Systems
Our network operations center provides around-the-clock monitoring and
maintenance of our entire network. The network operations center is equipped
with sophisticated electronics that constantly monitor the status of all base
stations and switches and record network traffic. The network operations center
provides continuous monitoring of system quality for blocked or dropped calls,
call clarity and evidence of tampering, cloning or fraud. We designed our
network operations center to oversee the interface between customer usage, data
collected at switch facilities and our billing systems. Usage reports, feature
activation and related billing items are managed on a timely and accurate basis.
Our network operations center is located in the Memphis switch center, and we
also have back-up network operations center capabilities in our Arlington,
Virginia data center.
Information Technology
We operate management information systems to handle customer care, billing,
network management and financial and administrative services. The systems focus
on three primary areas: (1) network management, including service activation,
pre-pay systems, traffic and usage monitoring, trouble management and
operational support systems; (2) customer care, including billing systems and
customer service and support systems; and (3) business systems, including
financial, purchasing, human resources and other administrative systems.
We have incorporated sophisticated network management and operations support
systems to facilitate network fault detection, correction and management,
performance and usage monitoring and security. System capabilities have been
developed to allow over-the-air activation of handsets and implement fraud
protection measures. We maintain stringent controls for both voluntary and
involuntary deactivations. Subscriber disconnections initiated by us are
minimized by (1) preactivation screening to identify any prior fraudulent or bad
debt activity, (2) credit review and (3) call pattern profiling to identify
where activation and termination policy adjustments are needed. We entered into
a long-term software license, development and implementation agreement with LHS
Communications Systems and CAP Gemini America to provide our billing system, and
we have engaged a variety of industry leaders such as Lucent and Lightbridge to
provide activation, fraud management and support systems.
TDMA Digital Technology
We have chosen digital TDMA technology for our network. TDMA allows for the
use of advanced tri-mode handsets which allow for roaming across PCS and
cellular frequencies, including both analog cellular and digital cellular. TDMA
technology allows for enhanced services and features, such as short-messaging,
extended battery life, added call security and improved voice quality. TDMA's
hierarchical cell structure will enable us to enhance network coverage with
lower incremental investment
-43-
<PAGE>
(through the deployment of micro, as opposed to full-size, cell sites). This
will enable us to offer customized billing options and to track billing
information per individual cell site, which is practical for advanced wireless
applications, such as wireless local loop and wireless office applications. In
addition, TDMA technology allows for three times the capacity of analog systems.
TDMA is the digital technology choice for two of the three largest wireless
communications companies in the United States, AT&T and SBC Communications. TDMA
served an estimated 19 million subscribers worldwide and 9 million subscribers
in North America as of December 31, 1999, according to the Universal Wireless
Communications Consortium ("UWCC"), an association of TDMA service providers and
manufacturers. The increased volume of TDMA users has increased the probability
of TDMA technology remaining an industry standard. TDMA equipment is available
from leading telecommunications vendors, such as Lucent, Ericsson and Northern
Telecom. See "Risk Factors--Changes in technology and customer demands could
adversely affect us."
Competition
We believe subscribers choose a wireless communications service provider
principally based upon network coverage, pricing, quality of service and
customer care. We believe that we enjoy certain advantages over our
competitors. We offer our customers coverage where they live, work and play and
coast-to-coast coverage immediately upon launch through our relationship with
AT&T and its roaming partners. Our pricing plans are competitive and
straightforward, offering large buckets of minutes, large local calling areas
with in-region roaming capabilities to supplement our network and usage-
enhancing features. We believe that our TDMA digital technology provides better
quality services and more enhanced features than analog cellular technology.
Our digital network provides users with improved sound quality, enhanced
security, prolonged battery life and increased data transfer capability over
analog networks, and we believe that customers increasingly will choose digital
service over analog service. We operate a state-of-the-art customer care
facility designed to provide proactive customer service. Our marketing plan
includes at least four customer contacts annually, including welcome calls,
first bill calls and anniversary calls, and we follow a "one call resolution
approach" to customer concerns. We market our wireless services to our
customers giving equal emphasis to the SunCom and AT&T brand names and logos.
Our market research indicates that association with the AT&T brand name
reinforces reliability and quality and significantly increases the likelihood
that potential customers will purchase our wireless communications services.
We compete directly with at least two cellular providers and other PCS
providers in each of our markets and against ESMR operations in certain of our
markets. Most of these existing cellular providers have an infrastructure in
place and have been operational for a number of years, with certain of these
competitors having greater financial and technical resources than we do. Certain
of these cellular operators may upgrade their networks to provide services
comparable to those offered by us. We also compete with other PCS license
holders in each of our markets. In New Orleans, we compete primarily against
Radiofone and BellSouth for cellular services, Sprint PCS and PrimeCo Personal
Communications for PCS services, and Nextel for ESMR. In Memphis, we compete
with GTE, SBC Communications and BellSouth for cellular services, Powertel and
Sprint PCS for PCS services and Nextel for ESMR. In Little Rock, we compete
against ALLTEL and SBC Communications for cellular services and Sprint PCS for
PCS services. In New England, we compete against SBC Communications, Bell
Atlantic and U.S. Cellular for cellular services and Sprint PCS and Omnipoint
Technologies for PCS services. In Puerto Rico, we compete principally against
Puerto Rico Telephone Company and Cellular One for cellular services and
Centennial Cellular for PCS services.
Our ability to compete successfully will depend, in part, upon our ability to
anticipate and respond to various competitive factors affecting the industry,
including the introduction of new services, changes in consumer preferences,
demographic trends, economic conditions and competitors' discount pricing
strategies, all of which could adversely affect our operating margins. See "Risk
Factors--Changes in technology and customer demands could adversely affect us."
The Wireless Communications Industry
Wireless communications systems use a variety of radio frequencies to transmit
voice and data. The wireless communications industry includes one-way radio
applications, such as paging or beeper services, and two-way radio applications,
such as PCS, cellular telephone and ESMR. Each application is licensed and
operates in a distinct radio frequency block.
Since the introduction of commercial cellular in 1983, the wireless
communications industry has experienced dramatic growth. The number of wireless
subscribers has increased from an estimated 340,213 at the end of 1985 to over
69 million as of December 31, 1998, according to the Cellular Telecommunications
Industry Association, an international association for the wireless industry.
Kagan, an independent media and telecommunications association, estimates that
the number of wireless users will increase to 142 million by 2003, with PCS
users representing nearly 34% of total users, a significant increase over the
approximately 11% of total users represented by PCS today. The following chart
illustrates the annual growth in U.S. wireless communications customers
(cellular, ESMR and PCS) through December 31, 1998:

In the wireless communications industry, there are two principal services
licensed by the FCC for transmitting voice and data signals: PCS and cellular.
PCS is a term commonly used in the United States to refer to service carried
over the 1850 MHz to 1990 MHz portion of the radio spectrum. Cellular is a term
commonly used in the United States to refer to service carried over the 824 MHz
to 893 MHz portion of the radio spectrum. Cellular service is the predominant
form of wireless voice communications service available. Cellular systems were
originally analog-based systems, although digital technology has been introduced
in certain markets. PCS systems use digital technology. Analog technology
currently has several limitations, including lack of privacy and limited
capacity. Digital systems convert voice or data signals into a stream of digits
that is compressed before transmission, enabling a single radio channel to carry
multiple simultaneous signal transmissions. This enhanced capacity, along with
improvements in digital signaling, allows digital-based wireless technologies to
offer new and enhanced services, such as greater call privacy and robust data
transmission features, including "mobile office" applications (facsimile, e-mail
and wireless connections to computer/data networks, including the Internet). See
"--Government Regulation" for a discussion of the FCC auction process and
allocation of wireless licenses.
Operation of Wireless Communications Systems
Wireless communications system service areas, whether PCS or cellular, are
divided into multiple cells. In both PCS and cellular systems, each cell
contains a transmitter, a receiver and signaling equipment, which is known as a
"cell site." The cell site is connected by microwave or landline telephone lines
to a switch that uses computers to control the operation of the cellular
communications system for the entire service area. The system controls the
transfer of calls from cell site to cell site as a subscriber's handset travels,
coordinates calls to and from handsets, allocates calls among the cell sites
within the system and connects calls to the local landline telephone system or
to a long distance telephone carrier. Wireless communications providers must
establish interconnection agreements with local exchange carriers and inter-
exchange carriers, thereby integrating their system with the existing landline
communications system.
Because the signal strength of a transmission between a handset and a cell
site declines as the handset moves away from the cell site, the switching office
and the cell site monitor the signal strength of calls in progress. When the
signal strength of a call declines to a predetermined level, the switching
office may hand-off the call to another cell site where the signal strength is
stronger. If a handset leaves the service area of a PCS or cellular system, the
call is disconnected unless there is a technical connection with the adjacent
system. If there is a technical connection with the adjacent system, the
customer may roam onto the adjacent system.
Analog cellular handsets are functionally compatible with cellular systems in
all markets in the United States. As a result, analog cellular handsets may be
used wherever a subscriber is located, as long as a cellular system is
operational in the area and either the service provider's system covers such
area or a roaming arrangement exists with a provider covering such area.
Although PCS and cellular systems utilize similar technologies and hardware,
they operate on different frequencies and use different technical and network
standards. With the introduction of tri-mode phones, it is now possible for
users of one type of system to roam on a different type of system outside of
their service area, and to hand-off calls from one type of system to another if
the appropriate agreements are in place.
Currently, PCS systems operate under one of three principal digital signal
transmission technological standards that have been proposed by various
operators and vendors for use in PCS systems: TDMA, CDMA or GSM. TDMA and GSM
are both "time division-based" standards but are incompatible with each other
and with CDMA. Accordingly, a subscriber of a system that utilizes TDMA
technology is unable to use a TDMA handset when travelling in an area not served
by TDMA-based PCS operators, unless the subscriber carries a dual-mode handset
that permits the subscriber to use the analog or digital cellular system in that
area and the appropriate agreements are in place.
-45-
<PAGE>
With a tri-mode handset, a user can place or receive calls using (1) a PCS
system using the technological standard with which such handset is compatible,
(2) a digital cellular system using the corresponding technological standard or
(3) an analog cellular system. If a PCS system operated by the service provider
or covered by a roaming agreement is operating in the area, the call will be
placed via such system. If there is no PCS system providing coverage, the call
will be placed through a digital cellular system operating in the area and
providing coverage to the user, and if no digital cellular system is providing
coverage, the call will be connected over an analog cellular system providing
coverage. Tri-mode handsets allow for a call in progress to be handed off to an
adjacent system, whether the same mode or band or otherwise, without
interruption if the appropriate agreements are in place. Prior generations of
handsets would cut off the call when the handset left the coverage of one system
and would require the customer to place the call again using the adjacent
system.
Government Regulation
We are subject to substantial regulation by the FCC, state public utility
commissions and, in some cases, local authorities. Our principal operations are
classified as CMRS by the FCC, subject to regulation under Title II of the
Communications Act of 1934 (the "Act") as a common carrier and subject to
regulation under Title III of the Act as a radio licensee. The states are
preempted from regulating our entry into and rates for CMRS offerings, but
remain free to regulate other terms and conditions of our CMRS services and to
regulate other intrastate offerings by us. Congress and the states regularly
enact legislation, and the FCC, state commissions and local authorities
regularly conduct rulemaking and adjudicatory proceedings that could have a
material adverse effect on us and other similarly situated carriers. In
addition, our nature as a regulated entity may adversely affect our ability to
engage in, or rapidly consummate, certain transactions and may require us to
expend additional resources in due diligence and filings related to FCC and
other requirements, as compared to unregulated entities.
FCC Common Carrier Regulation Under Title II
Under Title II of the Act, we are: (1) required to offer service upon
reasonable request; (2) prohibited from imposing unjust or unreasonable rates,
terms or conditions of service; (3) proscribed from unjustly or unreasonably
discriminating among customers; (4) required to reserve communications capacity
for law enforcement surveillance operations and to make technical network
changes to facilitate such surveillance; (5) required to make our services and
products accessible to, and usable by, Americans with disabilities, if readily
achievable; and (6) required to comply with limitations on our use of customer
proprietary network information. We are entitled to certain benefits when
negotiating interconnection arrangements with other communications carriers
(such as resale, number portability and reciprocal compensation), but we are
subject to those same requirements when other carriers seek to interconnect with
our network. While the rates of common carriers are subject to the FCC's
jurisdiction, the FCC forbears from requiring CMRS carriers to file tariffs for
their services. Common carriers, including CMRS providers, are also prohibited
under Sections 201 and 202 of the Act from unreasonably restricting the resale
of their services and are required to offer unrestricted resale. There can be no
assurance that the FCC will not choose to regulate common carriers more
comprehensively, which could have an adverse effect on our operations.
FCC Radio License Regulation Under Title III
Among other things, Title III of the Act:
. does not permit licenses to be granted or held by entities that have
been subject to the denial of federal benefits;
. requires us to seek prior approval from the FCC to transfer control of
us or to assign our radio authorizations (including disaggregating sub-
bands of our radio frequencies or partitioning geographic license
areas), except in very limited circumstances; and
. limits foreign ownership in certain radio licensees, including PCS
providers.
While we believe that we comply with Title III, any future violation of these
limitations could result in license revocation, forfeiture and/or the forced
restructuring of our ownership to comply with the rules, any of which could have
a material adverse effect on us. The Title III restrictions could also
materially adversely affect our ability to attract additional equity financing
from certain entities. See "Risk Factors--Government regulation, changes in our
licenses or other governmental action could adversely affect us."
FCC CMRS Regulation
The FCC rules and policies impose substantial regulations on CMRS providers.
Among other regulations, broadband CMRS providers such as us: (1) incur costs as
a result of required contributions to the Universal Service Fund, the
Telecommunications
-46-
<PAGE>
Relay Service, FCC regulatory fees, the administration of the
North American Numbering Plan and other federal programs; (2) are prohibited
from acquiring or holding an attributable interest in more than 45 MHz of
combined broadband PCS, cellular or SMR spectrum in the same geographic area;
(3) are required to provide "manual" roaming service to enable a customer of one
provider to obtain service while roaming in another carrier's service area; (4)
are required to route emergency calls to Public Safety Answering Points
("PSAPs") and provide PSAPs with certain enhanced 9-1-1 information regarding
the called number and the location of the caller; and (5) will be required to
begin to implement local number portability after March 31, 2000, under certain
circumstances, which will allow subscribers to retain their telephone numbers
when changing service providers. Any violation of the CMRS regulations could
result in a revocation or forfeiture of our licenses that would have a material
adverse effect on us. In addition, there can be no assurance that the FCC will
not choose to regulate CMRS providers more comprehensively, which could have an
adverse effect on our operations.
FCC PCS Regulation
We are subject to service-specific regulations under Part 24 of the FCC's
rules. Among other things, Part 24 provides that PCS licensees, such as us, are
granted licenses for a 10-year term, subject to renewal. Under these policies,
we will be granted a renewal expectancy that would preclude the FCC from
considering competing applications if we have (1) provided "substantial"
performance, that is "sound, favorable and substantially above a level of
mediocre service just minimally justifying renewal" and (2) substantially
complied with FCC rules and policies and the Act. While we intend to structure
our operations to secure a renewal expectancy, there can be no assurance that a
renewal expectancy will be granted and, if the renewal expectancy is not
granted, that our licenses will be renewed. Our failure to obtain renewal of our
licenses would have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Part 24 also contains regulations governing the transmission characteristics
of PCS handsets and base stations and other technical requirements. PCS
licensees are required to comply with limits intended to ensure that such
operations do not interfere with radio services in other markets or in other
spectrum bands and to ensure emissions from mobile transmitters do not cause
adverse health effects. We are also subject to minimum construction requirements
that will require us to deploy facilities with service coverage of a particular
amount of the population of our licensed area within specified time periods. See
"Risk Factors--We could lose our F-Block and C-Block licenses if we fail to meet
financial and other tests." While we intend to comply with all PCS regulations
in effect, any violation of the PCS regulations could result in a revocation or
forfeiture that would have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, there
can be no assurance that the FCC will not choose to regulate PCS licensees more
comprehensively, which could have an adverse effect on our operations.
Relocation of Fixed Microwave Licensees
Because PCS carriers are utilizing spectrum occupied by existing microwave
licensees, the FCC has adopted special regulations governing the relocation of
incumbent systems and cost-sharing among licensees that pay to relocate
microwave incumbents. Relocation usually requires a PCS operator to compensate
an incumbent for the costs of system modifications and new equipment required to
move the incumbent to new spectrum, including possible "premium" costs for early
relocation to alternate spectrum. The transition plan allows most microwave
users to operate in the PCS spectrum for a one-year voluntary negotiation and an
additional one-year mandatory negotiation period following the issuance of the
PCS license. These periods are longer for public safety entities. We have
entered into all necessary agreements for microwave relocation. There can be no
assurance, however, that relocated licenses will not exercise their rights to
move back to their original sites in the event the new sites are inadequate. Any
delay in the relocation of microwave users to other spectrum also may affect
adversely our ability to operate our network. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
FCC and Federal Aviation Administration Facilities Regulation
Because we will acquire antenna sites for use in our network, we will become
subject to FCC and Federal Aviation Administration regulations governing
registration of towers, the marking and lighting of certain structures and
regulations governing compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, which requires carriers to assess the impact of their operations on the
environment, including the health effects of radio frequency radiation on
humans.
FCC Designated Entity and Small Business Regulation
TeleCorp Holding was the winning bidder for four licenses in the auction of F-
Block licenses. With respect to those licenses, and additional C-Block and F-
Block licenses acquired through later auctions and transactions, we (1) believe
we qualify as a "very small business" (as defined) and as Entrepreneurs (as
defined), and (2) intend to diligently pursue and maintain our qualification as
a "very small business" and as Entrepreneur in a manner intended to ensure
compliance with the applicable FCC rules. We rely on representations of our
investors to determine our compliance with the FCC's rules applicable to C-Block
and F-
-47-
<PAGE>
Block licenses. There can be no assurance, however, that our investors or
we will continue to satisfy these requirements during the term of any PCS
license granted to TeleCorp Holding or TeleCorp PCS, LLC, our wholly owned
subsidiary, or that we will be able successfully to implement divestiture or
other mechanisms included in our corporate charter that are designed to ensure
compliance with FCC rules. Any non-compliance with the FCC "very small business"
and Entrepreneurs rules could subject us to penalties, including a fine,
revocation of our PCS licenses, acceleration of installment payment obligations
or retroactive loss of bidding credits. See "Risk Factors--We have substantial
debt which we may not be able to service," "--Government regulation, changes in
our licenses or other governmental action could adversely affect us" and "--We
could lose our F-Block and C-Block licenses if we fail to meet financial and
other tests."
Entrepreneurs. In order to hold a C-Block and F-Block license, an entity and
its affiliates must have had less than $125 million in average gross revenues in
the last two years and less than $500 million in total assets at the time it
filed its application to acquire the C-Block or F-Block licenses (such
qualifying entity, an "Entrepreneur"). In calculating revenues and assets for
such purposes, the FCC includes the gross revenues and total assets of our
affiliates, those entities that hold attributable interests in us and the
affiliates of such entities. However, the revenues and assets of certain
affiliates are not attributable to the licensee if the licensee maintains an
organizational structure that satisfies certain Control Group Requirements (as
defined). For at least five years after the initial licensing of a C-Block or F-
Block license, a licensee must continue to meet the control group requirements
to continue to qualify for the installment payment program and must continue to
meet the "very small business" requirements to continue to qualify for the
bidding credits received in the auction.
Very Small Business. We are also structured under the FCC's rules to qualify
as a "very small business." A "very small business" is an entity that, together
with its affiliates and entities that hold interests in the applicant and their
affiliates, has average annual gross revenues of not more than $15 million for
the previous three calendar years. As a result of our classification as a "very
small business," we were eligible for both a 25% bidding credit and for a
preferential installment payment program. In the more recent reauction, Viper
Wireless qualified as a "very small business," eligible for the same bidding
credit, but the FCC ceased to provide installment payment financing.
Control Group Requirements. To avoid attribution of the revenues and assets
of certain investors, we are required to maintain a conforming control group and
to limit the amount of equity held by such entities on a fully-diluted basis.
These requirements mandate that the Control Group, among other things, have and
maintain both actual (de facto) and legal (de jure) control of the licensee.
Under these control group requirements, (1) an established group of investors
meeting certain financial qualifications must own at least three-fifths of the
control group's equity (i.e., 15% of the licensee's overall equity) on a fully-
diluted basis and at least 50.1% of the voting power in the licensee entity and
(2) additional members of the control group must hold, on a fully-diluted basis,
the remaining 10% equity interest in the licensee entity. Additional Members may
be non-controlling institutional investors, including most venture capital
firms. A C-Block or F-Block licensee must have met the requirements at the time
it filed its application to acquire such licenses and must continue to meet the
requirements for five years following the date that a C-Block or F-Block license
is granted. Commencing the fourth year of the license term, the FCC rules (1)
eliminate the requirement that Additional Members hold the 10% equity interest
and (2) allow the Qualifying Investors to reduce the minimum required equity
interest from 15% to 10%. If the FCC were to determine that we did not comply
with the regulations, we would be required to attribute the revenues of
additional stockholders, which would likely cause the loss of our status both as
an Entrepreneur and a "very small business." Loss of such status would have a
materially adverse effect on us.
FCC C-Block and F-Block Transfer Restrictions. During the first five years of
their license terms, C-Block and F-Block PCS licensees may only transfer or
assign their license, or any partitioned or disaggregated portion of, to other
qualified Entrepreneurs. Such acquiring entities would take over the license, or
any portion of the license, subject to separately established installment
payment obligations. After five years, licenses are transferable to
Entrepreneurs and non-Entrepreneurs alike, subject to unjust enrichment
penalties. If transfer occurs during years six through ten of the initial
license term to a company that does not qualify for the same level of auction
preferences as the transferor, such a sale would be subject to immediate payment
of the outstanding balance of the government installment payment debt and
payment of any unjust enrichment assessments as a condition of transfer. The FCC
has also initiated transfer disclosure regulations that require licensees who
transfer control of or assign a PCS license within the first three years to file
associated contracts for sale, option agreements, management agreements or other
documents disclosing the total consideration that the applicant would receive in
return for the transfer or assignment of its license(s). If the FCC determines
that a transferor or assignor is being "unjustly enriched" by a proposed sale or
transfer of a license, it may condition its approval of the transaction on
payment of money to the U.S. Treasury, accelerate installment payments or
require repayment of bidding credits.

State and Local Regulation
The FCC permits the states to regulate terms and conditions of our CMRS
services other than rates and entry and may regulate all aspects of our
intrastate toll services. State jurisdiction also extends to regulating the
intrastate portion of services offered by local exchange carriers, and therefore
the rates we must pay to acquire certain critical facilities from other common
carriers. The FCC also delegates authority to the states to administer numbering
resources, subject to federal oversight, and have other responsibilities that
impact the nature and profitability of our operations, including the ability to
specify cost-recovery mechanisms for network modifications to support enhanced
9-1-1 services. States and localities also regulate construction of new antenna
site facilities and are responsible for zoning and developmental regulations
that can materially impact our timely acquisition of sites critical to our radio
network. The states and localities regularly conduct legislative, rulemaking and
adjudicatory proceedings on matters within their jurisdiction that could have a
material adverse effect on us and other similarly situated carriers. States may
petition the FCC to expand their jurisdiction over CMRS rates and entry under
certain conditions. There can be no assurance that a state in which we operate
will not attempt to engage in more comprehensive regulation of our operations,
which could increase the costs of providing service and materially affect our
ability to operate in that state.
Intellectual Property
The AT&T and globe design logo is a service mark registered with the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office. AT&T owns the service mark. We use the AT&T and
globe design logo, on a royalty free basis, with equal emphasis on our SunCom
brand and logo, solely within our licensed area in connection with marketing,
offering and providing certain licensed services to end-users and resellers. Our
license agreement with AT&T grants us the right and license to use certain
licensed marks on certain permitted mobile phones. This license agreement
contains numerous restrictions with respect to the use and modification of
certain licensed marks. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--
AT&T Agreements."
We, Triton PCS and Tritel Communications have adopted a common brand, SunCom,
that is co-branded with equal emphasis with the AT&T brand name and logo. Each
of the SunCom companies owns one-third of Affiliate License Co., which owns the
SunCom name. We and the other SunCom companies license the SunCom name from
Affiliate License Co. We use such brand to market, offer and provide services
to end-users and resellers. See "--Marketing Strategy," "Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions--Other Related Party Transactions."
Triton PCS recently paid $975,000 to settle a potential dispute regarding
prior use of a version of the SunCom brand. In connection with this settlement,
Triton PCS transferred the SunCom trademark to Affiliate License Co. for
$650,000. Each of the other SunCom Companies agreed to pay $325,000 as a royalty
fee to license such trademark from Affiliate License Co.
Employees
As of March 31, 1999, we employed approximately 515 people. None of our
employees currently are represented by a union. We believe that our relations
with our employees are good.
Properties
We lease space for our switches in New Orleans, Boston and Puerto Rico and for
our network operators center, a switch and our customer care and data center in
Memphis. Further, we lease space for our base station transmitter equipment, and
we lease office space for our headquarters and regional offices.
Legal Proceedings
We are not a party to any lawsuit or proceeding which is likely, in the
opinion of management, to have a material adverse effect on our financial
position, results of operations and cash flows. We are a party to routine
filings and customary regulatory proceedings with the FCC relating to our
operations.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER
Purpose and Effects
The Exchange Offer is designed to provide to holders of the Old Notes an
opportunity to acquire the Exchange Notes which, unlike the Old Notes, will be
freely transferable at all times, provided that the holder is not our affiliate.
The Old Notes were originally issued and sold on April 23, 1999 in the
principal amount at maturity of $575.0 million in a transaction exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Old Notes may not be
reoffered, resold or transferred except under a registration statement filed
with the SEC or unless an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act is available.
We are making the Exchange Offer in reliance on the position of the staff of
the SEC as set forth in certain no-action letters addressed to other parties in
other transactions. However, we have not sought our own no-action letter and
there can be no assurance that the staff of the SEC would make a similar
determination with respect to the Exchange Offer as in such other circumstances.
Based upon these interpretations by the staff of the SEC, we believe that the
Exchange Notes issued in the Exchange Offer in exchange for the Old Notes may be
offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by a holder of the Exchange
Notes other than by (1) a broker-dealer who purchased such Old Notes directly
from us to resell under Rule 144A under the Securities Act or any other
available exemption under the Securities Act or (2) a person that is our
"affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, without compliance
with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act,
provided that such Exchange Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such
holder's business and that such holder is not participating, and has no
arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution
of such Exchange Notes. Holders of the Old Notes accepting the Exchange Offer
for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the Exchange Notes may not
rely on the position of the staff of the SEC as set forth in these no-action
letters and would have to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the Exchange
Notes. A resale in the United States by a holder of the Exchange Notes who is
using the Exchange Offer to participate in the distribution of the Exchange
Notes must be covered by a registration statement containing the selling
securityholder information required by Item 507 of Regulation S-K under the
Securities Act.
The Exchange Notes will be freely transferable by the holders of such Notes,
subject to the limitations described in the immediately preceding paragraph.
The Exchange Notes will be identical in all respects, including interest rate,
maturity, security, guaranty and restrictive covenants, to the Old Notes for
which they may be exchanged in the Exchange Offer, except the Exchange Notes
will not confer registration rights or bear penalty interest. Holders who do
not exchange their Old Notes in the Exchange Offer will continue to hold the Old
Notes which are subject to restrictions on transfer.
Each broker-dealer that receives the Exchange Notes for its own account in
exchange for the Old Notes, where such Old Notes were acquired by such broker-
dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities, must
acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of
such Exchange Notes. See "Plan of Distribution."
Terms of the Exchange Offer
Promptly after the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes
a part has been declared effective, we will offer the Exchange Notes in exchange
for surrender of the Old Notes. We will keep the Exchange Offer open for not
less than 30 days (or longer if required by applicable law) after the date on
which notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to the registered holders of the
Old Notes. For each $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the Old Notes
validly tendered to us in the Exchange Offer and not withdrawn by the holder of
such Old Notes, the holder of such Old Notes will receive $1,000 principal
amount at maturity of the Exchange Notes. Interest on each Exchange Note will
accrue from the date of the original issue of the Old Notes. The Exchange Notes
evidence the same debt as the Old Notes and are issued under and entitled to the
same benefits under the indenture governing the Notes as the Old Notes. In
addition, the Exchange Notes and the Old Notes are treated as one series of
securities under the indenture governing the Notes.
In the event that (1) neither the registration statement of which this
prospectus constitutes a part nor a Shelf Registration Statement, as defined in
the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, with respect to the Old Notes is
filed on or prior to the 60th day after the date of original issue of the Old
Notes, (2) neither of such registration statements is declared effective by the
SEC on or prior to the 180th day after the date of original issue of the Old
Notes, or within 45 days after the publication of a change in applicable law or
interpretation of law by the SEC's staff that would require us to file a Shelf
Registration Statement (the "Effectiveness Target Date"), (3) we fail to
consummate the Exchange Offer on or prior to the 210th day after the date of
original issuance of the Old Notes, or (4) the Shelf Registration Statement is
declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection
with resales of the Old Notes during the period specified in the Exchange and
Registration
-50-
<PAGE>
Rights Agreement (each such event referred to in clauses (1)through (4) above as
a "Registration Default"), then we must pay liquidated damages to each holder of
the Old Notes, during the period of one or more such Registration Defaults, in
an amount equal to $0.192 per week per $1,000 of Accreted Value, as defined in
the indenture governing the Notes, of the Old Notes held by such holder until
the cure of all Registration Defaults. Such interest will be payable on the next
scheduled interest payment date.
As of April 23, 1999, $575.0 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of
the Old Notes was outstanding. This prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal
are being sent to all registered holders of the Old Notes.
Tendering holders of the Old Notes will not be required to pay brokerage
commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the Letter of
Transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of the Old Notes in the
Exchange Offer. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain
transfer taxes which may be imposed, in connection with the Exchange Offer. See
"Transfer Taxes" below.
Holders of the Old Notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights under
the Delaware General Corporation Law in connection with the Exchange Offer.
Period for Tendering Old Notes
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and
in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal which together constitute the Exchange
Offer, we will accept for exchange the Old Notes which are properly tendered on
or prior to the Expiration Date and not withdrawn as permitted below. As used
within the Exchange Offer, the term "Expiration Date" means 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on , 1999; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that our obligation to accept the Old
Notes for exchange in the Exchange Offer is subject to certain conditions set
forth under "--Certain Conditions to the Exchange Offer" below.
We expressly reserve the right, at any time or from time to time, to extend
the period of time during which the Exchange Offer is open, and thereby delay
acceptance of exchange of any Old Notes, by giving oral or written notice of
such extension to the holders of such Old Notes as described below. During any
such extension, all Old Notes previously tendered will remain subject to the
Exchange Offer and we may accept them for exchange. Any Old Notes not accepted
for exchange for any reason will be returned without expense to the tendering
holder of such Old Notes as promptly as practicable after the expiration or
termination of the Exchange Offer.
We expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the Exchange Offer, and
not to accept for exchange any Old Notes not already accepted for exchange, upon
the occurrence of any of the conditions specified below under "--Certain
Conditions to the Exchange Offer." We will give oral or written notice of any
extension, amendment, non-acceptance or termination to the holders of the Old
Notes as promptly as practicable. We shall issue such notice, in the case of
any extension, as a press release or other public announcement no later than
9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously
scheduled Expiration Date.
Procedures for Tendering Old Notes
Except as set forth below, a holder of the Old Notes who wishes to tender the
Old Notes for exchange in the Exchange Offer must send a properly completed and
duly executed Letter of Transmittal, including all other documents required by
such Letter of Transmittal, to Bankers Trust Company (the "Exchange Agent") at
the address set forth below under "--Exchange Agent" on or prior to the
Expiration Date. In addition, either (1) certificates for such Old Notes must
be received by the Exchange Agent, or (2) a timely confirmation of a book-entry
transfer (a "Book-Entry Confirmation") of such Old Notes into the Exchange
Agent's account at The Depository Trust Company (the "Book-Entry Transfer
Facility") under the procedure for book-entry transfer described below, must be
received by the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date, or (3) the
holder of the Old Notes must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures
described below.
Each exchanging holder of the Old Notes will be required to represent in its
Letter of Transmittal that such holder is acquiring the Exchange Notes in the
ordinary course of business, is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage
in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes and is not our affiliate or an
affiliate of our subsidiary guarantors.
THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THE OLD NOTES, LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER
REQUIRED DOCUMENTS IS AT THE ELECTION AND RISK OF THE HOLDER OF THE OLD NOTES.
IF SUCH DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT REGISTERED MAIL, PROPERLY
INSURED, WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, BE USED. IN ALL CASES SUFFICIENT TIME
SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ASSURE TIMELY DELIVERY. NO LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL OR OLD
NOTES SHOULD BE SENT TO US.
-51-
<PAGE>
Each broker-dealer that receives the Exchange Notes for its own account in
exchange for the Old Notes, where such Old Notes were acquired by such broker-
dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities, must
acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of
such Exchange Notes. See "Plan of Distribution."
Signatures on a Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case
may be, must be guaranteed unless the Old Notes surrendered for exchange in the
Exchange Offer are tendered (1) by a registered holder of the Old Notes who has
not completed the box entitled "Special Issuance Instructions" or "Special
Delivery Instructions" on the Letter of Transmittal or (2) for the account of an
Eligible Institution, as defined below. In the event that signatures on a
Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal are required to be guaranteed,
such guarantees must be made by a firm which is a member of a registered
national securities exchange or a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. or by a commercial bank or trust company having an
office or correspondent in the United States (collectively, "Eligible
Institutions"). If the Old Notes are registered in the name of a person other
than a signer of the Letter of Transmittal, the Old Notes surrendered for
exchange must be endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer or exchange, in satisfactory form as determined by us in
our sole discretion, duly executed by the registered holder with the signature
guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.
All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of
receipt) and acceptance of the Old Notes tendered for exchange will be
determined by us in our sole discretion, which determination shall be final and
binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all tenders of any
particular Old Notes not properly tendered or to not accept any particular Old
Notes which acceptance might, in our judgment or the judgment of our counsel, be
unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any defects or
irregularities or conditions of the Exchange Offer as to any particular Old
Notes either before or after the Expiration Date. Our interpretation of the
terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer either before or after the Expiration
Date (including the Letter of Transmittal and the instructions) shall be final
and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in
connection with tenders of Old Notes for exchange must be cured within such
reasonable period of time as we shall determine. None of us, the Exchange Agent
nor any other person shall be under any duty to give notification of any defect
or irregularity with respect to any tender of Old Notes for exchange, nor shall
any of us incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of
Old Notes received by the Exchange Agent that are not properly tendered and as
to which the irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by
the Exchange Agent to the tendering holder, unless otherwise provided in the
Letter of Transmittal, as soon as practicable following the Expiration Date.
If the Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person or persons other than the
registered holder or holders of the Old Notes, such Old Notes must be endorsed
or accompanied by appropriate powers of attorney, in either case signed exactly
as the name or names of the registered holder or holders that appear on the Old
Notes.
If the Letter of Transmittal or any Old Notes or powers of attorney are signed
by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers
of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such
persons should so indicate when signing, and, unless waived by us, must submit
to us proper evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act.
In all cases, issuance of the Exchange Notes for the Old Notes that are
accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer will be made only after timely
receipt by the Exchange Agent of certificates for such Old Notes or a timely
Book-Entry Confirmation of such Old Notes in the Exchange Agent's account at the
Book-Entry Transfer Facility, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of
Transmittal and all other required documents. If we do not accept any tendered
Old Notes for any reason or the Old Notes are submitted for a greater principal
amount than the holder of such Old Notes desires to exchange, we will return
such unaccepted or non-exchanged Old Notes without expense to the tendering
holder of such Old Notes as promptly as practicable after the Exchange Offer
expires or terminates. In the case of Old Notes tendered by book-entry transfer
into the Exchange Agent's account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility under the
book-entry procedures described below, such non-exchanged Old Notes will be
credited to an account maintained with such Book-Entry Transfer Facility as
promptly as practicable after the termination of the Exchange Offer.
Book-Entry Transfer
The Exchange Agent will make a request to establish an account with respect to
the Old Notes at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility for purposes of the Exchange
Offer within two business days after the date of this prospectus, and any
financial institution that is a participant in the Book-Entry Transfer
Facility's systems may make book-entry delivery of the Old Notes by causing the
Book-Entry Transfer Facility to transfer such Old Notes into the Exchange
Agent's account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility in accordance with such
Book-Entry Transfer Facility's procedures for transfer. Although the Old Notes
may be delivered through book-entry transfer at the Book-Entry Transfer
Facility, the Letter of Transmittal, with any required signature guarantees and
any other required documents, must, in any case, be sent to and received by the
Exchange Agent at the address set
-52-
<PAGE>
forth below under "--Exchange Agent" on or prior to the Expiration Date or the
guaranteed delivery procedures described below must be complied with. Holders of
Old Notes may use copies of the Letter of Transmittal.
Acceptance of Old Notes for Exchange; Delivery of Exchange Notes
Tenders of Old Notes will be accepted only in principal amounts at maturity of
$1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, we will
accept all Old Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn promptly prior to 5:00
p.m. on the Expiration Date. We will deliver the Exchange Notes in exchange for
the Old Notes promptly following acceptance of the Old Notes.
For purposes of the Exchange Offer, we shall be deemed to have accepted
validly tendered Old Notes when, as and if we have given oral or written notice
to the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent will act as agent for the tendering
holders of the Old Notes for the purposes of receiving the Exchange Notes.
Under no circumstances will we or the Exchange Agent pay interest because of any
delay in making such payment or delivery.
Our acceptance for exchange of the Old Notes tendered in the Exchange Offer
will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering holder and us upon the
terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer.
If any tendered Old Notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid
tender, the occurrence of certain other events or otherwise, we will return any
such unaccepted Old Notes, at our expense, to their tendering holder as promptly
as practicable after the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer.
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures
If a registered holder of the Old Notes desires to tender such Old Notes and
such Old Notes are not immediately available, or time will not permit such
holder's Old Notes or other required documents to reach the Exchange Agent
before the Expiration Date, or the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be
completed on a timely basis, a tender may be effected if (1) the tender is made
through an Eligible Institution, (2) prior to the Expiration Date, the Exchange
Agent receives from such Eligible Institution a properly completed and duly
executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the form provided by
us, by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery, setting forth the name and
address of the holder of the Old Notes, the certificate numbers of such Old
Notes (except in the case of book-entry tenders) and the principal amount of the
Old Notes tendered, stating that the tender is being made thereby and
guaranteeing that, within three NYSE trading days after the Expiration Date, the
Letter of Transmittal together with the certificates for all physically tendered
Old Notes, in proper form for transfer, or a Book-Entry Confirmation, and any
other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal will be deposited by the
Eligible Institution with the Exchange Agent, and (3) such properly completed
and executed Letter of Transmittal (or a copy thereof) together with the
certificates for all physically tendered Old Notes, in proper form for transfer,
or a Book-Entry Confirmation, as the case may be, and all other documents
required by the Letter of Transmittal, are received by the Exchange Agent within
three NYSE trading days after the Expiration Date. Holders of Old Notes may use
copies of the Letter of Transmittal.
Withdrawal Rights
You may withdraw your tender of the Old Notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m.
on the Expiration Date.
For a withdrawal to be effective, the Exchange Agent must receive a written
notice of withdrawal at the address set forth below under "--Exchange Agent."
Any such notice of withdrawal must (1) specify the name of the person having
tendered the Old Notes to be withdrawn, (2) identify the Old Notes to be
withdrawn, including the certificate numbers and principal amount of such Old
Notes (except in the case of book-entry tenders), (3) be signed by the holder of
the Old Notes in the same manner as the original signature on the Letter of
Transmittal by which such Old Notes are tendered or be accompanied by sufficient
documents of transfer and (4) specify the name in which such Old Notes are
registered, if different from that of the withdrawing holder. If certificates
for the Old Notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the Exchange
Agent, then, prior to the release of such certificates, the withdrawing holder
must also submit the certificate numbers of the particular certificates to be
withdrawn and a signed notice of withdrawal with signatures guaranteed by an
Eligible Institution unless such holder of the Old Notes is an Eligible
Institution. If the Old Notes have been tendered for book-entry transfer as
described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of
the account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to be credited with the
withdrawn Old Notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of such facility.
We will determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility
(including time of receipt) of such notices, and our determination shall be
final and binding on all parties. Any Old Notes so withdrawn will be deemed not
to have been validly tendered for exchange. Any Old Notes which have been
tendered for exchange but which are not exchanged for any reason will be
returned to the holder of such Old Notes without cost to such
-53-
<PAGE>
holder as soon as practicable after withdrawal, rejection of tender or
termination of the Exchange Offer. In the case of the Old Notes tendered by
book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent's account at the Book-Entry Transfer
Facility under the book-entry transfer procedures described above, such Old
Notes will be credited to an account maintained with such Book-Entry Transfer
Facility for the Old Notes. Properly withdrawn Old Notes may be retendered by
following one of the procedures described under "--Procedures for Tendering Old
Notes" above at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date.
Certain Conditions to the Exchange Offer
Despite any other provision of the Exchange Offer, we will not be required to
accept for exchange, or to issue the Exchange Notes in exchange for, any Old
Notes, and may terminate or amend the Exchange Offer, if at any time before the
acceptance of such Old Notes for exchange or the exchange of the Exchange Notes
for such Old Notes, any of the following events shall occur:
(1) such acceptance or issuance would violate applicable law or any
applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC;
(2) any action or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency
with respect to the Exchange Offer shall be instituted or pending
which, in our sole judgment, might impair our ability to proceed with
the Exchange Offer; or
(3) any law, statute, rule or regulation shall have been proposed, adopted
or enacted which, in our sole judgment, might materially impair our
ability to proceed with the Exchange Offer.
The foregoing conditions are for our sole benefit and we may assert them
regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition or we may
waive them in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in our sole
discretion. Our failure at any time to exercise any of our rights shall not be
deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing
right which we may assert at any time and from time to time.
In addition, we will not accept for exchange any Old Notes tendered, and no
Exchange Notes will be issued in exchange for any such Old Notes, if at such
time any stop order shall be threatened or in effect with respect to the
registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or the
qualification of the indenture governing the Notes under the Trust Indenture Act
of 1939.

DELIVERY OF THIS INSTRUMENT TO AN ADDRESS OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH ABOVE OR
TRANSMISSION OF INSTRUCTIONS VIA FAX TRANSMISSION OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH ABOVE
DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A VALID DELIVERY.
Fees and Expenses
We will not make any payment to brokers, dealers, or others soliciting
acceptances of the Exchange Offer.
We will pay certain other expenses to be incurred in connection with the
Exchange Offer, including the fees and expenses of the Exchange Agent,
accounting and certain legal fees.
Transfer Taxes
Holders who tender their Old Notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay
any transfer taxes in connection with such exchange, except that if a holder of
the Old Notes instructs us to register the Exchange Notes in the name of, or
requests that the Old Notes not tendered or not accepted in the Exchange Offer
be returned to, a person other than the registered tendering holder, or if a
transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of the Old Notes
in the Exchange Offer, the amount of any such transfer taxes, whether imposed on
the registered holder of the Old Notes or any other person, will be the
responsibility of the registered tendering holder.
Consequences of Failure to Exchange
The Old Notes of holders who do not exchange their Old Notes for the Exchange
Notes in the Exchange Offer will continue to have restrictions on transfer since
we issued the Old Notes under exemptions from, or in transactions not subject
to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws. In general, the Old Notes may not be offered or sold, unless
registered under the Securities Act, except under an exemption from, or in a
transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws.
We do not currently anticipate that we will register the Old Notes under the
Securities Act. To the extent that the Old Notes are tendered in connection
with the Exchange Offer, any trading market for the Old Notes not tendered in
connection with the Exchange Offer could be adversely affected. The tender of
the Old Notes in the Exchange Offer may have an adverse effect upon, and
increase the volatility of, the market prices of the Old Notes due to a
reduction in liquidity.
Accounting Treatment
The Exchange Notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the Old
Notes, as reflected in our accounting records on the date of the exchange.
Accordingly, no gain or loss for accounting purposes will be recognized. The
expenses of the Exchange Offer will be expensed over the term of the Exchange
Notes.

If an executive should die, we will pay any amounts that we owe such executive
under the employee agreements accrued prior to such death to such executive's

such death. Termination for cause is:

order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction;
-60-
<PAGE>
. failing to comply with our Board's directions, or neglecting or refusing

If we terminate an executive for cause, or an executive voluntarily quits, we
will pay such executive any amounts that we owe such executive accrued prior to
such cessation of employment. If we terminate an executive other than for
cause, we will pay such executive an amount equal to such executive's then
annual base salary, at normal payroll intervals, as well as continue to cover
such executive under our employee benefit plans for 12 months.
Under the employee agreements, the executives are subject to confidentiality
provisions, and have agreed, for one year after cessation of employment with us,
to non-competition and non-solicitation provisions and to limit public
statements concerning us.

(a) In accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, for purposes of this table, a person is deemed to be the beneficial
owner of any shares of Common Stock if such person has or shares voting
power or investment power with respect to such Common Stock, or has the
right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time within 60 days of the date
of the table. As used here, "voting power" is the power to vote or direct
the voting of shares and "investment power" is the power to dispose or
direct the disposition of shares.
(b) Under the terms of our restated certificate of incorporation, until the
occurrence of certain events, and subject to specific rights granted to

our capital stock, and the holders of Class A Common Stock possess 49.9% of
the voting power of all shares of our capital stock. If, under circumstances
described under "Description of Capital Stock," we receive FCC approval for
the Class A Common Stock and Voting Preference Common Stock to vote as a
single class, the Class A Common Stock and the Voting Preference Common
Stock will vote as a single class on all matters and be granted one vote per
outstanding share. Holders of certain other classes of our capital stock
have been granted voting rights regarding matters specifically affecting
those classes. Finally, so long as AT&T continues to own not less than two-
thirds of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock it owned on July 16, 1998,
it will have the right to nominate two members of our Board (or one member
following certain events). See "Description of Capital Stock."

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
AT&T Agreements
On January 23, 1998, we and AT&T announced the formation of a venture under
which we are financing, constructing and operating a wireless communications
network using the AT&T and SunCom brand names and logos together, giving equal
emphasis to both. AT&T contributed licenses to us in exchange for an equity
interest in us. The venture provides the basis for a strategic alliance between
us and AT&T for the provision of wireless communications services in certain
markets. The terms of the venture and the strategic alliance are set forth in a
number of agreements, and summaries of these agreements are set forth below.
These summaries are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the agreements. Copies of the agreements are attached as exhibits
to the registration statement.
Securities Purchase Agreement
The Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 23, 1998, as amended,
among AT&T Wireless PCS Inc., TWR Cellular, Inc., CB Capital Investors, Inc.,
Desai Associates, Hoak Capital Corporation, J.H. Whitney & Co., Entergy
Technology Holding Company, M/C Partners, One Liberty Fund III, L.P. and Toronto
Dominion Investments, Inc. and Northwood Capital Partners (the "Cash Equity
Investors"), the former stockholders of TeleCorp Holding (the "THC Stockholders"
and together with the Cash Equity Investors, AT&T Wireless PCS and TWR Cellular,
Inc., the "Purchasers"), Mr. Vento and Mr. Sullivan (the "Management
Stockholders") and us provided for the transfer by AT&T Wireless PCS and TWR
Cellular to us of certain PCS licenses providing, in the aggregate, the right to
use 20 MHz of authorized frequencies within the areas covered by such licenses
in exchange for shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock
and Series F Preferred Stock.
The Securities Purchase Agreement also provides for the contribution by the
Cash Equity Investors of $128.0 million to us in exchange for shares of our
Series C Preferred Stock, Class A Voting Common Stock and Class C Common Stock.
In addition, the Securities Purchase Agreement provides that, upon the
consummation by us of an acquisition of F-Block PCS licenses covering one
million or more Pops (as defined in the Stockholders' Agreement described
below), the Cash Equity Investors will contribute an additional $5.0 million to
us in exchange for additional shares of our Series C Preferred Stock and Class A
Common Stock. Certain of the contributions to be made by the Cash Equity
Investors were made upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
the Securities Purchase Agreement, which occurred on July 17, 1998, and the
remainder of such contributions will be made over a three-year period. The
obligations of each of the Cash Equity Investors to make its remaining
contributions are (1) irrevocable and unconditional, and not subject to
counterclaim, set-off, deduction or defense, or to abatement, suspension,
deferment, diminution or reduction for any reason whatsoever, and (2) under a
pledge agreement between each such Cash Equity Investor and us, secured by a
pledge of all shares of our capital stock issued to such Cash Equity Investor
under the Securities Purchase Agreement. See "Management Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital
Resources."
Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the THC Stockholders exchanged their
shares of stock in TeleCorp Holding for shares of our Series C Preferred Stock,
Class A Common Stock, Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock.
Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Management Stockholders exchanged
their shares of stock in TeleCorp Holding for shares of our Series E Preferred
Stock, Class A Common Stock, Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock. Each
of the Management Stockholders received five shares of our Voting Preference
Stock in exchange for shares of stock we previously issued to them. Upon the
closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement,
we also issued to certain other members of management shares of our Series E
Preferred Stock and Class A Common Stock. Up to 35.71% of the Class A Common
Stock issued to members of management are under our restricted stock plan.
Shares issued under the restricted stock plan are subject to forfeiture
according to a schedule if employment with us is terminated within six years
after the closing of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
Stockholders' Agreement
General. The Stockholders' Agreement, dated as of July 17, 1998, among AT&T
Wireless PCS, TWR Cellular, the Cash Equity Investors, the Management
Stockholders and us provides for certain arrangements regarding our management
and operations and for certain restrictions with respect to the sale, transfer
or other disposition of our capital stock.
Board of Directors. The Stockholders' Agreement provides that our Board
shall initially consist of 13 directors and that any action of our Board be
approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of our entire Board, except in
certain circumstances where voting by certain classes of directors is required.
The Stockholders' Agreement also provides that the members of our Board will
initially be (1) three individuals selected by the Cash Equity Investors who own
a majority of the Class A Common Stock, (2)
-65-
<PAGE>
each of Mr. Vento and Mr. Sullivan, so long as each remains one of our officers
and the Management Agreement remains in effect, (3) two individuals selected by
AT&T Wireless PCS in its capacity as holder of the Series A Preferred Stock, so
long as AT&T Wireless PCS and TWR Cellular own in the aggregate at least two-
thirds of the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock authorized on the
date of our restated certificate of incorporation, (4) three individuals
selected by the holders of the Voting Preference Stock, which three individuals
are reasonably acceptable to the Cash Equity Investors who own a majority of the
Class A Common Stock and (5) three individuals selected by the holders of the
Voting Preference Stock, which three individuals are reasonably acceptable to
the holders of a majority of the Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the
Cash Equity Investors and AT&T Wireless PCS.
Exclusivity. The parties to the Stockholders' Agreement have agreed that,
during the term of the Stockholders' Agreement, neither they nor any of their
respective affiliates will provide or resell, or act as the agent for any person
offering, within the areas covered by our licenses, mobile wireless
communications services initiated or terminated using TDMA and frequencies
licensed by the FCC (collectively, "Company Communications Services"), except
that AT&T and its affiliates may (1) resell or act as agent for us in connection
with the provision of Company Communications Services, (2) provide or resell
wireless communications services to or from certain specific locations, provided
that any equipment sold in connection with such service must be capable of
providing Company Communication Services, and (3) resell Company Communications
Services for another person in any area where we have not placed a system into
commercial service. Additionally, with respect to certain markets identified in
the Intercarrier Roamer Services Agreement with AT&T Wireless Services, Inc.,
each of us and AT&T Wireless PCS has agreed to cause our respective affiliates
in their home carrier capacities to (1) program and direct the programming of
customer equipment so that the other party, in its capacity as the serving
carrier, is the preferred provider in such markets and (2) refrain from inducing
any of its customers to change such programming. AT&T Wireless PCS has retained
up to 10 MHz of authorized frequencies within the areas covered by our licenses
for which we have a right of negotiation in the event of a proposed transfer.
We and the other parties amended the Stockholders' Agreement to terminate the
exclusivity provisions with regard to approximately 100,000 Pops that overlapped
with the coverage area of licenses AT&T purchased from Vanguard Cellular. We
have agreed with AT&T to exchange our licenses covering such Pops for licenses
covering other Pops. Such exchanged Pops will be covered under the scope of our
agreements with AT&T.
Construction. The Stockholders' Agreement establishes a minimum construction
plan for the construction of a PCS system in the areas covered by our licenses
(the "Minimum Construction Plan"), which requires us to deploy service to (1)
20% of the total 1990 population of the area covered by our licenses (the "Total
Population") by July 17, 1999 (focusing on designated areas of Memphis and New
Orleans), (2) 40% of the Total Population by July 17, 2000 (focusing on
designated areas of New England, Little Rock and Missouri and enhancing coverage
in all markets), (3) 55% of the Total Population by July 17, 2001 (focusing on
secondary cities and the important associated connecting highways), (4) 70% of
the Total Population by July 17, 2002 (continuing to expand the secondary cities
and enhancing coverage of the core areas) and (5) 75% of the Total Population by
July 17, 2003 (focusing on adding capacity sites and filling in the remaining
suburban areas). In addition to the Minimum Construction Plan, we are bound to
several other operational obligations, including arranging for all necessary
microwave relocation for our licenses and AT&T's retained licenses, ensuring
compatibility of our systems with the majority of systems in Louisiana,
Oklahoma, Minnesota, Illinois and Texas (excluding Houston), satisfying the FCC
construction requirements in the areas covered by our licenses and AT&T's
retained licenses, offering certain core service features with respect to our
systems, causing our systems to comply with AT&T's TDMA quality standards and
refraining from providing or reselling interexchange services other than
interexchange services that constitute Company Communications Services or that
are procured from AT&T. If we materially breach any of our operational
obligations or if AT&T Wireless PCS and its affiliates decide to adopt a new
technology standard, other than TDMA, in a majority of its markets and we
decline to adopt such new technology, AT&T Wireless PCS may terminate its
exclusivity obligations.
Disqualifying Transaction. In the event of a merger, consolidation, asset
acquisition or disposition or other business combination (a "Disqualifying
Transaction") involving (1) AT&T and (2) a person that (A) derives annual
revenues from communications businesses in excess of $5 billion, (B) derives
less than one-third of its aggregate revenues from the provision of wireless
communications and (C) owns FCC licenses to offer, and does offer, mobile
wireless communications services serving more than 25% of the residents, as
determined by Equifax Marketing Decision Systems Inc., within the areas covered
by our licenses (such person, the "Other Party"), AT&T, upon written notice, may
terminate certain of its exclusivity obligations in the portion of the areas
covered by our licenses in which the Other Party owns an FCC license to offer
CMRS (the "Overlap Territory"); provided, that, upon such termination, we have
the right to cause AT&T, TWR Cellular, or any transferee that acquired any
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock or Series F
Preferred Stock owned by AT&T Wireless PCS on the date of the Stockholders'
Agreement (and any shares of our common stock into which any such shares are
converted) to exchange all or a proportionate share (based upon the overlap of
the residents) of such stock into shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Once so
converted, we may redeem such shares of Series B Preferred Stock at any time in
accordance with our restated
-66-
<PAGE>
certificate of incorporation. Currently, only Sprint, SBC Communications, Bell
Atlantic and BellSouth satisfy the criteria for a business combination partner.
Under certain circumstances, during the period commencing on the date of the
announcement by AT&T of a Disqualifying Transaction and ending upon the later to
occur of six months following the consummation of such transaction and the date,
if any, by which AT&T is required under applicable law to dispose of any
cellular system or any PCS system serving any of the St. Louis, Missouri,
Louisville, Kentucky or Boston, Massachusetts BTAs (the "Subject Markets"), if
AT&T proposes to sell, transfer or assign to any person that is not an affiliate
of AT&T any PCS system owned and operated by AT&T Wireless PCS and its
affiliates in any Subject Market, then AT&T will provide us with the opportunity
to offer for sale jointly with AT&T for a 90-day period wireless communications
services in the applicable Subject Markets and the portion of the areas covered
by our licenses that are included in the MTA that includes such Subject Markets.
Acquisition of Licenses. The Stockholders' Agreement provides that we may
acquire any cellular license that our Board has determined is a demonstrably
superior alternative to constructing a PCS system within the applicable portion
of the areas covered by our licenses; provided, that: (1) a majority of the Pops
covered by such license are within the areas covered by our licenses; (2) AT&T
Wireless PCS and its affiliates do not own CMRS licenses in the area covered by
such license; and (3) our ownership of such license will not cause AT&T Wireless
PCS or any affiliate to be in breach of any law or contract.
Vendor Discounts; Roaming Agreements. AT&T Wireless PCS has agreed, under
the Stockholders' Agreement, that if requested by us, it will use all
commercially reasonable efforts (1) to assist us in obtaining discounts from any
AT&T Wireless PCS vendor with whom we are negotiating for the purchase of any
infrastructure equipment or billing services and (2) to enable us to become a
party to the roaming agreements between AT&T Wireless PCS and its affiliates and
operators of other cellular and PCS systems.
Resale Agreements. Under the Stockholders' Agreement, we, upon the request of
AT&T Wireless PCS, will enter into resale agreements relating to the areas
covered by our licenses. The rates, terms and conditions of service provided by
us are to be at least as favorable (and to the extent permitted by applicable
law, more favorable) to AT&T Wireless PCS, taken as a whole, as the rates, terms
and conditions provided by us to other customers.
Subsidiaries. The Stockholders' Agreement provides that all of our
subsidiaries must be direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. The
Stockholders' Agreement also provides that, without the prior written consent
of, or right of first offer to, AT&T Wireless PCS, we and our subsidiaries,
subject to certain limited exceptions, may not effect any sale or disposition of
a substantial portion of our assets or any of our subsidiaries or the
liquidation, merger or consolidation of us or any of our subsidiaries until we
meet certain minimum construction requirements.
Restrictions on Transfer. The Stockholders' Agreement imposes certain
restrictions with respect to the sale, transfer or other disposition of our
capital stock, such as preemptive, drag along and tag along rights, and provides
certain demand and piggyback registration rights.
Amendments. Amendments to the Stockholders' Agreement require the written
consent of holders of (1) a majority of the shares of the Class A Common Stock,
including AT&T Wireless PCS, (2) two-thirds of the Class A Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Cash Equity Investors and (3) two-thirds of the Class
A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Management Stockholders.
Termination. The Stockholders' Agreement will terminate upon the earliest to
occur of (1) the receipt of the written consent of each such party, (2) July 17,
2009 and (3) under certain circumstances, the date on which a single stockholder
beneficially owns all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.
Network Membership License Agreement
Under the Network Membership License Agreement dated as of July 17, 1998 (the
"License Agreement") between AT&T and us, AT&T granted to us a royalty-free,
non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, limited right and license to
use certain licensed marks, including the logo containing the AT&T name and
globe design, the expression "Member, AT&T Wireless Services Network" and AT&T
colors, graphics and overall configurations (collectively, the "Licensed
Marks"), solely in connection with certain licensed activities (the "Licensed
Activities"). The Licensed Activities include (1) the provision to end-users and
resellers, solely within the areas covered by our licenses, of Company
Communications Services on frequencies licensed to us for CMRS provided in
accordance with the agreements between us and AT&T (collectively, the "Licensed
Services") and (2) marketing and offering the Licensed Services within the areas
covered by our licenses with limited advertising
-67-
<PAGE>
outside our licensed area. The License Agreement also grants to us the right and
license to use Licensed Marks on specified mobile phones distributed to our end-
users.
Except in certain instances, AT&T has agreed not to grant to any other person
a right or license to provide or resell, or act as agent for any person
offering, Company Communications Services under the Licensed Marks. AT&T retains
all rights of ownership in the Licensed Marks, including the rights to license
or transfer, as well as the right to use the Licensed Marks in providing its
services (subject to its exclusivity obligations) in both the areas covered by
our licenses and all other areas.
The License Agreement contains restrictions with respect to the use and
modification of any of the Licensed Marks. Although we may develop our own
marks, we may not use them together with the Licensed Marks without the prior
approval of AT&T. Furthermore, we are obligated to use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause all Licensed Services marketed and provided using the Licensed
Marks to be of comparable quality to similar services marketed and provided by
AT&T in areas that are comparable to the areas covered by our licenses, taking
into account, among other things, the relative stage of development of the areas
in which such services are being provided. The License Agreement also sets forth
specific testing procedures to determine compliance with these standards and
affords us with a grace period to cure any instances of noncompliance.
Following the core period, we must cease using the Licensed Marks until we are
in compliance with the standards or may be deemed to be in breach of the License
Agreement.
We may not assign, sublicense or transfer, by change of control or otherwise,
any of our rights under the License Agreement; provided, however, that the
License Agreement may be, and has been, assigned to our lenders under our senior
credit facilities, and after the expiration of any applicable grace and cure
periods under our senior credit facilities, such lenders may enforce our rights
under the License Agreement and assign the License Agreement to any person with
AT&T's consent.
The initial term of the License Agreement is for a period of five years (the
"Initial Term"), which will be automatically renewed for an additional five-year
period if each party gives written notice to the other party of our election to
renew the term of the License Agreement and neither party gives a notice of non-
renewal. The License Agreement may be terminated by AT&T at any time in the
event of a significant breach by us, including our misuse of any Licensed Marks,
our licensing or assignment of any of our rights under the License Agreement,
except as permitted by the terms of the License Agreement, our loss of the
licenses acquired from AT&T, our failure to maintain AT&T's quality standards or
a change in control of us. After the initial term, AT&T may also terminate the
License Agreement in certain circumstances in connection with a Disqualifying
Transaction.
Upon closing of the Digital PCS acquisition, the License Agreement was
automatically amended to include the Baton Rouge, Houma, Hammond and Lafayette,
Louisiana BTAs under its scope. Upon closing of the Puerto Rico acquisition,
the License Agreement was automatically amended to include the San Juan MTA
under its scope. Upon the closing of the Wireless 2000 acquisition, the License
Agreement was automatically amended to include the Alexandria, Lake Charles and
certain counties under the Monroe, Louisiana BTAs under its scope.
Intercarrier Roamer Service Agreement / Roaming Administration Service Agreement
Under the Intercarrier Roamer Services Agreement dated as of July 17, 1998
between AT&T Wireless Services and certain of its affiliates (collectively,
"AWS") and us, we have agreed with AWS that each of us, in our capacity as a
serving provider, will provide wireless communications services for registered
customers of the other party's customers while such customers are out of their
home carrier's geographic area and in the geographic area where the serving
provider holds a license or permit to construct and operate a wireless
communications system and station. Each home carrier whose customers receive
service from a serving provider will pay to the serving provider all of the
serving provider's charges for wireless service and all of the applicable
charges. Each serving provider's service charges per minute or partial minute
for use for the first three years will be fixed at a declining rate.
The Intercarrier Roamer Service Agreement has a term of 20 years, which is
automatically renewed on a year-to-year basis unless terminated by either party
upon 90 days' prior written notice after 10 years. The Intercarrier Roamer
Service Agreement may be terminated earlier by either party in certain
circumstances, including, after ten years, by either party upon 90 days' prior
written notice. Neither party may assign or transfer its rights and obligations
under the Intercarrier Roamer Service Agreement without the written consent of
the other party, except to an affiliate or an assignee of its license.
Under the Roaming Administrative Service Agreement dated as of July 17, 1998
between AWS and us, AWS has agreed to make available to us the benefits of the
intercarrier roaming services agreements it has entered into with certain other
wireless carriers, subject to the consent of such other wireless carriers and to
our remaining a member in good standing of the North American Cellular Network.
The Roaming Administrative Service Agreement has an initial term of two years,
which is automatically renewed on a year-to-year basis unless terminated by
either party upon 90 days' prior written notice. Either party
-68-
<PAGE>
may terminate the Roaming Administrative Service Agreement for any reason at any
time upon 180 days' prior written notice. Neither party may assign or transfer
its rights and obligations under the Roaming Administrative Service Agreement
without the written consent of the other party, except to an affiliate or an
assignee of its license, except that AWS may subcontract its duties thereunder.
Upon closing of the Digital PCS acquisition, the Intercarrier Roamer Service
Agreement was automatically amended to include the Baton Rouge, Houma, Hammond
and Lafayette BTAs under its scope. Upon closing of the Puerto Rico acquisition,
the Intercarrier Roamer Service Agreement was automatically amended to include
the San Juan MTA under its scope. Upon closing of the Wireless 2000 acquisition,
the Intercarrier Roamer Service Agreement was automatically amended to include
the Alexandria, Lake Charles and certain counties under the Monroe, Louisiana
BTAs under its scope.
Resale Agreement
The Stockholders' Agreement provides that, from time to time, we will enter
into a Resale Agreement with AT&T Wireless PCS or certain of its affiliates that
provides that we grant to AWS the right to purchase and resell access to, and
use of, our wireless services on a non-exclusive basis within a designated area.
AWS will pay charges for any services that are resold, including usage, roaming,
directory assistance and long distance charges, and taxes and tariffs, if any,
according to a specified rate schedule. Each Resale Agreement will have an
initial term of ten years that will be automatically renewed on a year-to-year
basis unless terminated by either party upon 90 days' prior written notice. AWS
will be able to terminate each Resale Agreement for any reason at any time upon
180 days' prior written notice.
In addition, AT&T has agreed to extend the terms of any Resale Agreement to
include the Baton Rouge, Houma, Hammond and Lafayette BTAs in connection with
the Digital PCS acquisition, the San Juan MTA in connection with the Puerto Rico
acquisition and the Alexandria, Lake Charles and certain counties under the
Monroe, Louisiana BTAs in connection with the Wireless 2000 acquisition.
Long Distance Agreement
Under the Long Distance Agreement dated as of December 21, 1998 between AWS
and us, we purchase interstate and intrastate long distance services from AWS at
preferred rates which we resell to our customers. These preferred rates are
contingent upon our continuing affiliation with AWS.
The Long Distance Agreement requires that we meet a minimum traffic volume
commitment during the term of the agreement, which may be up to three years. If
we fail to meet such volume commitments, we must pay to AWS the difference
between the expected fee based on the volume commitment and the fees based on
actual volume.
The long distance services we purchase from AWS may only be used in connection
with (1) our commercial mobile radio services, (2) calls that originate on our
network and (3) those commercial mobile radio services that share our switches.
Puerto Rico License
We acquired a 20 MHz A-Block PCS license and related assets covering the San
Juan MTA from AT&T Wireless PCS on May 25, 1999. The San Juan MTA covers
approximately 4 million Pops in Puerto Rico, as well as the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Under a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, on May 24, 1999, we sold to AT&T
$40.0 million of our preferred stock for cash. Under an Asset Purchase
Agreement, on May 25, 1999, we purchased the license and related assets from
AT&T for $95.0 million in cash. In addition, we reimbursed AT&T $3.2 million
for microwave relocation and $1.5 million for other expenses it incurred in
connection with the acquisition. Our agreements with AT&T were automatically
amended to include the San Juan MTA under the scope of those agreements.
Management Agreement
As of July 17, 1998, we entered into the Management Agreement with TeleCorp
Management, a company owned by Mr. Vento and Mr. Sullivan, for the provision of
certain administrative, operational, marketing, regulatory and general business
services by TeleCorp Management to us. TeleCorp Management receives an annual
fee of approximately $0.5 million and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses
from us, and is eligible for an annual bonus based upon achievement of certain
objectives determined by the compensation committee of our Board. In addition,
the Management Agreement provides that certain shares owned by Mr. Vento and Mr.
Sullivan vest based upon meeting minimum construction requirements. Mr. Vento
and Mr. Sullivan have agreed to devote substantially their entire business time
and attention to the services provided under the Management Agreement.
-69-
<PAGE>
The Management Agreement has a term of five years and may be terminated
earlier by either party in certain circumstances, including by us in the event
TeleCorp Management commits fraud, fails to maintain adequately our debt or one
of the principals of TeleCorp Management is indicted for a felony, and by
TeleCorp Management in the event Mr. Vento and Mr. Sullivan are removed from our
Board, or are demoted or their duties are materially diminished. TeleCorp
Management, Mr. Vento and Mr. Sullivan are subject to certain non-competition,
non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions upon termination of the
Management Agreement. In addition, we must repurchase certain of our shares
owned by Mr. Vento and Mr. Sullivan in the event of termination. For the 1998
fiscal year, we paid approximately $0.5 million for management services and
bonuses under the Management Agreement. See "Management--Management Agreement."
Other Related Party Transactions
Relationship with WFI/Entel Technologies and other Site Acquisition Service
Providers
We receive site acquisition, construction management, program management,
microwave relocation and engineering services under a master services agreement
with WFI/Entel Technologies. Payments under such agreement were approximately
$30.7 million in the 1998 fiscal year. At the time of entering into the master
services agreement, Mr. Vento was a senior officer, and he and Mr. Sullivan were
the controlling stockholders, of WFI/Entel Technologies. In February 1998, they
sold their interests in WFI/Entel Technologies.
Relationship with Certain of the Initial Purchasers of the Notes in the Original
Private Offering
Net proceeds of the original private offering of the Notes to us were
approximately $317.0 million, excluding our repayment of the Series B Notes to
Lucent. CSI and its affiliates perform various investment banking and
commercial banking services from time to time for us and our affiliates. CSI
acted as our lead manager for our offering of the Old Notes. The Chase
Manhattan Bank, an affiliate of CSI, is the agent bank and a lender under our
senior credit facilities. Mr. Michael R. Hannon, a member of our Board, is a
General Partner of Chase Capital Partners, an affiliate of CSI. In addition,
affiliates of Chase Capital Partners own a portion of our common stock. For
further information concerning these relationships, see "Management,"
"Securities Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" and "Plan of
Distribution."
BT Alex. Brown Incorporated, one of the initial purchasers of the Old Notes,
is an affiliate of Bankers Trust Company, the documentation agent and one of the
lenders under our senior credit facilities for $525.0 million, as well as the
trustee under the indenture governing the Notes and the Exchange Agent. We have
also entered into certain other transactions with Bankers Trust Company. See
"Plan of Distribution."
Relationship with Tritel Communications
We have common stockholders with Tritel Communications and may be deemed
affiliates by virtue of such common ownership. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Fuqua, two
of our directors, also serve as directors of Tritel Communications. See
"Management." We have formed Affiliate License Co. with Tritel Communications
and Triton PCS to adopt a common brand, SunCom, that is co-branded with AT&T on
an equal emphasis basis. Under such agreement, we, Tritel Communications and
Triton PCS each own one third of Affiliate License Co., the owner of the SunCom
name. We and the other SunCom companies license the SunCom name from Affiliate
License Co. Mr. Sullivan is a director of Affiliate License Co.
Relationship with Triton PCS
We have common stockholders with Triton PCS and may be deemed affiliates by
virtue of such common ownership. Ms. Hawkins Key and Mr. Anderson, two of our
directors, also serve as directors of Triton PCS. See "Management." We have
formed Affiliate License Co. with Triton PCS and Tritel Communications to adopt
a common brand, SunCom, that is co-branded with AT&T on an equal emphasis basis.
Under such agreement, we, Triton PCS and Tritel Communications each own one
third of Affiliate License Co., the owner of the SunCom name. We and the other
SunCom companies license the SunCom name from Affiliate License Co. Triton PCS
transferred its ownership of the SunCom name to Affiliate License Co. for
approximately $0.6 million. Mr. Sullivan is a director of Affiliate License Co.
Relationship with Other Entities
TeleCorp Holding, our predecessor company, was incorporated on July 29, 1996
to participate in the FCC's auction of F-Block licenses in April 1997. TeleCorp
Holding raised money from investors to develop any such licenses it obtained in
such auction. TeleCorp Holding successfully obtained licenses in the New
Orleans, Memphis, Beaumont, Little Rock, Houston, Tampa, Melbourne and Orlando
BTAs. In August 1997, TeleCorp Holding transferred the Houston, Tampa, Melbourne
and
-70-
<PAGE>
Orlando BTAs to four newly-formed entities created by TeleCorp Holding's
stockholders: THC of Houston; THC of Tampa; THC of Melbourne; and THC of
Orlando; and issued notes in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.7 million
to such entities to develop such licenses. TeleCorp Holding performed certain
administrative and management services and paid costs on behalf of such entities
for the year ended December 31, 1997, worth the aggregate amount of $0.7
million. In 1998, upon the closing of the agreements with AT&T TeleCorp Holding
paid approximately $2.0 million to the entities as payment of the notes, offset
by the approximately $0.7 million in services and costs. We, TeleCorp Holding,
THC of Houston, THC of Tampa, THC of Melbourne, THC of Orlando, TeleCorp WCS and
Telecorp LMDS have common stockholders in Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Vento.
On May 5, 1997, TeleCorp Holding lent approximately $3.0 million to TeleCorp
WCS, Inc. in exchange for interest-free notes from TeleCorp WCS. On May 5,
1997, TeleCorp Holding received equity investments in exchange for the right to
receive (1) the notes from TeleCorp WCS, (2) any cash, notes or other assets
received by TeleCorp Holding on behalf of the notes or (3) any capital stock
into which the notes were converted. TeleCorp WCS repaid approximately $2.7
million of the notes with cash to TeleCorp Holding, and TeleCorp Holding
forwarded such cash to the equity investors. TeleCorp WCS issued a note in the
amount of approximately $0.3 million directly to the investors on behalf of the
remaining $0.3 million outstanding under the notes. TeleCorp WCS converted such
notes into capital stock issued to the investors.
Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Vento are stockholders in us, TeleCorp Holding and
TeleCorp WCS.
Viper Wireless was formed to participate in the FCC's reauction of C-Block PCS
licenses in most of our markets. TeleCorp Holding owns 85% of Viper Wireless,
and Mr. Vento and Mr. Sullivan collectively own the remaining 15%. AT&T and
certain of our cash equity investors have committed an aggregate of
approximately $32.3 million in exchange for additional shares of our preferred
and common stock if Viper Wireless is the successful bidder in the reauction.
AT&T and the investors funded approximately $6.5 million of their commitment on
May 14, 1999, and approximately $25.8 million will be funded when we make
payments to the FCC with respect to these licenses, or if the FCC does not
refund amounts we paid to them as deposits in connection with the reauction
within 180 days of the date of deposit. The FCC has made additional PCS
spectrum available through a reauction of certain C-Block and other licenses
returned to, or repossessed by, the FCC. We participated in this for additional
spectrum through Viper Wireless. On April 20, 1999, the FCC announced that the
reauction ended, and Viper Wireless was the higher bidder for additional
spectrum in New Orleans, Houma and Alexandria, Louisiana, San Juan, Puerto Rico,
Jackson, Tennessee and Beaumont, Texas. On June 3, 1999, a petition was filed
by certain secured creditors of DCR PCS and Pocket Communications against the
application of Viper Wireless for the Houma and New Orleans licenses. The
petition seeks deferral of the grant of these licenses to Viper Wireless until
an appeal, by the secured creditors of DCR PCS and Pocket Communications has
been resolved or in the alternative, a condition noting that a pre-existing
claim to the licenses may exist if the secured creditors are successful in that
appeal. The appeal seeks review of the bankruptcy court's ruling concerning DCR
PCS and Pocket Communications permitting DCR PCS to file its election notice,
which ultimately resulted in the return of these licenses to the FCC, over the
objection of the secured creditors of DCR PCS and Pocket Communications. Viper
Wireless filed an opposition to the petition on June 15, 1999.
Relationship with Toronto Dominion
Toronto Dominion Investments, a Cash Equity Investor, and TD Securities (USA),
a lender under our senior credit facilities for $525.0 million, may be deemed to
be under common control.
Relationships with Stockholders
From inception through June 1998, our primary source of financing was notes
issued to our stockholders. In July 1996, we issued $0.5 million of subordinated
promissory notes to our stockholders. These notes were converted into 50 shares
of our Series A Preferred Stock in April 1997. In December 1997, we issued
various promissory notes to our stockholders. These notes were converted into
mandatorily redeemable preferred stock in July 1998. From January 1, 1998 to
June 30, 1998, we borrowed approximately $22.5 million in the form of promissory
notes to existing and prospective stockholders to satisfy working capital needs.
These notes were converted into equity of TeleCorp in July 1998 in connection
with the consummation of the venture with AT&T.
Relationship with McDermott, Will & Emery
We use the services of a law firm, McDermott, Will & Emery, to which Mr.
Sullivan, our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and a member of
our Board, is counsel. Prior to July 1998, Mr. Sullivan was a partner of
McDermott, Will & Emery. For the 1998 fiscal year we paid McDermott, Will &
Emery approximately $2.1 million.

CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
Senior Credit Facilities
On July 17, 1998 (the "Senior Credit Facilities Effective Date"), we
entered into senior credit facilities for $525.0 million (the "Senior Credit
Facilities") with certain lenders (the "Lenders"), including The Chase Manhattan
Bank, as administrative agent and issuing bank, TD Securities (USA) Inc., as
syndication agent, and Bankers Trust Company, as documentation agent (the credit
agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities, the "Senior Credit
Agreement"). The Senior Credit Facilities provide for (1) a $150.0 million
senior secured term loan (the "Tranche A Term Loan"), which matures in January
2007, (2) a $225.0 million senior secured term loan (the "Tranche B Term Loan,"
and together with the Tranche A Term Loan, the "Term Loans"), which matures in
January 2008, (3) a $150.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the
"Revolving Credit Facility," and together with the Term Loans, the "Senior
Facilities"), which matures in January 2007 and (4) an uncommitted $75.0 million
senior secured term loan in the form of an expansion facility (the "Expansion
Facility," and together with the Senior Facilities, the "Facilities"), which
will mature no sooner than January 2008.
The Tranche A Term Loan must be repaid, beginning in September 2002, in 18
consecutive quarterly installments. The amount of each of the first six
installments is $3.75 million. The amount of each of the next four installments
is $9.4 million. The amount of each of the last eight installments is $11.25
million. The Tranche B Term Loan is required to be repaid, beginning in
September 2002, in 22 consecutive quarterly installments. The amount of each of
the first 18 installments is $0.6 million. The amount of each of the last four
installments is $54.0 million. The commitment to make loans under the Revolving
Credit Facility ("Revolving Credit Loans," and together with the Term Loans, the
"Loans") automatically and permanently is reduced, beginning in April 2005 after
the Senior Credit Facilities Effective Date, by virtue of eight consecutive
quarterly reductions. The amount of each of the first four reductions is $12.5
million. The amount of each of the last four reductions is $25.0 million.
We may select the rate at which interest accrues on all Loans. We may
choose a "Eurodollar Loan," which accrues at LIBOR, multiplied by the ratio of
which one is the numerator and one minus the aggregate of maximum reserve
percentages (including any marginal, special, emergency or supplemental
reserves) expressed as a decimal established by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve system that applies to the administrative agent regarding
eurocurrency funding is the denominator, and added to the Applicable Margin. The
"Applicable Margin" in the case of Eurodollar Loan means:
. a rate between 1.25% and 2.75% per annum, depending upon our
leverage ratio, with respect to the Tranche A Term Loan and the
Revolving Credit Loans; and
. 3.25% per annum, with respect to the Tranche B term loan.
Alternatively, we may choose an "ABR Loan," which accrues at the higher of
either the Administrative Agent's prime rate and the Federal Funds Effective
Rate (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement) plus 0.50% plus the Applicable
Margin. "Applicable Margin" in the case of an ABR Loans means:
. a rate between 0.25% and 1.75% per annum, depending on our leverage
ratio with respect to the Tranche A Term Loan and the Revolving
Credit Loans; and
. 2.25% per annum, with respect to the Tranche B Term Loan.
Interest on any overdue amounts will accrue at a rate per annum equal to
2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such amounts.
The terms of the Senior Credit Facilities require us to pay an annual
commitment fee between 0.50% and 1.25%, depending on the percentage drawn, of
the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Tranche A Term Loan and
Tranche B Term Loan are payable quarterly in arrears, and a separate agent's fee
is payable to the administrative agent. The Senior Credit Facilities also
require us to purchase an interest rate hedging contract covering an amount
equal to at least 50% of the total amount of our outstanding indebtedness,
excluding indebtedness which earns interest at a fixed rate.
The Tranche A Term Loan automatically will be reduced to the extent its
undrawn portion exceeds $50.0 million in July 2000 by the amount of such excess.
The Term Loans will be prepaid, and commitments under the Revolving Credit
Facility will be reduced, in an aggregate amount equal to:
(1) 50% of the excess cash flow of each fiscal year commencing with the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2001;
-72-
<PAGE>
(2) 100% of the net proceeds of asset sales outside of the ordinary course
of business, in excess of a $1.0 million annual threshold, or unused insurance
proceeds;
(3) 100% of the net cash proceeds of issuances of debt obligations (other
than debt obligations permitted by the Senior Credit Agreement, including the
issuance of the Notes); and
(4) 100% of the net cash proceeds of issuances of equity securities (other
than in connection with the Cash Equity);
provided that the prepayments and reductions set forth under clauses (3) and (4)
will not be required if, after giving effect to such issuance, (A) our leverage
ratio would be less than 5.0 to 1.0 and (B) in the case of clause (4), we would
be in pro forma compliance with each covenant contained in the Senior Credit
Agreement.
We may establish the Expansion Facility so long as, both before and after
giving effect to it, no default exists under the Senior Credit Agreement and we
are in pro forma compliance with each of the financial covenants contained in
the Senior Credit Agreement. No Lender is required to participate in the
Expansion Facility. Each of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries
unconditionally guarantees all our obligations under the Senior Credit
Facilities (the "Credit Facility Subsidiary Guarantees"). The Facilities and
the Credit Facility Subsidiary Guarantees, and any related hedging contracts
provided by the Lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities, are secured by
substantially all of our assets and the assets of each of our existing and
future domestic subsidiaries, including a first priority pledge of all of the
capital stock held by us or any of our subsidiaries; provided that the pledge of
shares of foreign subsidiaries will be limited to 65% of the outstanding shares
of such foreign subsidiaries. Under the Senior Credit Facilities, no action may
be taken against our licenses unless and until the requisite approval is
obtained from the FCC. We have organized special purpose subsidiaries to hold
our licenses, our real property and our equipment. Each such single purpose
subsidiary is prohibited from incurring any liabilities or obligations other
than:
. the Credit Facility Subsidiary Guarantee issued by it;
. obligations under the security agreement entered into by it in
connection with the Senior Credit Facilities;
. obligations resulting from regulatory requirements; or
. taxes and liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of its
business incident to its business or necessary to maintain its
existence.
The Senior Credit Agreement contains covenants customary for facilities
similar to the Senior Credit Facilities, including covenants that restrict,
among other things:
. the incurrence of indebtedness and the issuance of certain equity
securities;
. the creation of liens;
. sale and lease-back transactions, mergers, consolidations and
liquidations;
. certain investments, loans, guarantees, advances and acquisitions;
. sales of assets;
. hedging agreements;
. certain payments, including the payment of dividends or
distributions in respect of capital stock and prepayments of the
Notes;
. certain transactions with affiliates;
. the entering into of certain restrictive agreements; and
. the amendment of certain material agreements.
The Senior Credit Agreement requires us to maintain certain ratios,
including:
-73-
<PAGE>
. a senior debt to capital ratio;
. a senior debt to EBITDA ratio;
. a total debt to EBITDA ratio;
. an interest coverage ratio; and
. a fixed charges ratio;
and to satisfy certain tests, including tests relating to:
. the minimum population covered by our network;
. the minimum number of subscribers to our services;
. the minimum aggregate service revenue per subscriber; and
. limits on capital expenditures.
In particular, we may not permit the following ratio to exceed 0.5 to 1.0:
the numerator is senior debt and the denominator is the sum of (1) all of our
indebtedness and the indebtedness of our subsidiaries which matures, in more
than one year, whether, by its terms renewal or extension, plus (2) certain
equity contributions, plus (3) commitments of the Cash Equity Investors to
purchase shares of our capital stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement.
The denominator is known as "Total Capital." However, if (1) the Cash
Equity Investors have satisfied in full in cash all commitments to purchase
shares of our capital stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement and (2) our
network is substantially complete in markets that cover more than 60% of the
aggregate number of residents within the areas that our licenses cover, the
ratio of senior debt to Total Capital may exceed 0.5 to 1.00, but may not exceed
0.55 to 1.00. In the above contingency, the aggregate number of residents are as
determined by the Donnelley Marketing Service Guide published in 1995. The
Senior Credit Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties,
indemnities, conditions precedent to borrowing and events of default.
Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities are available to finance
capital expenditures related to the construction of our network, the acquisition
of related businesses, working capital needs and subscriber acquisition costs.
Vendor Financing
In May 1998, we entered into a vendor procurement contract (the
"Procurement Contract") with Lucent, under which we agreed to purchase radio,
switching and related equipment and services for the development of our network.
In connection with the Procurement Contract, Lucent agreed to provide us with
$80.0 million of junior subordinated vendor financing. In addition, Lucent has
agreed to make available up to an additional $80.0 million of junior
subordinated vendor financing in amounts up to 30% of the value of equipment,
software and services provided by Lucent in connection with any additional
markets we acquire (the "Vendor Expansion Facility"). We have $15.0 million of
availability under the Vendor Expansion Facility agreement as a result of the
Puerto Rico acquisition. The expiration date for any notes issued under the
Vendor Expansion Facility is the date which is six months after the scheduled
maturity of the Notes.
Under a Note Purchase Agreement dated as of May 11, 1998 (the "Note
Purchase Agreement"), between Lucent and us, we have issued to Lucent $40.0
million aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes due 2012. All proceeds from
the sale of these notes are to be used to develop our network in certain
designated areas.
We had also issued to Lucent $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of
Series B Notes due 2012. We repaid these notes with the proceeds from the
offering of the Old Notes. Upon the consummation of the offering of the Old
Notes, Lucent's commitment to provide us with $40.0 million of Series B notes
terminated.
We have a commitment from Lucent to purchase an additional $7.5 million of
Series A Notes and $7.5 million of Series B Notes under to the Vendor Expansion
Facility in connection with the Puerto Rico acquisition. The obligation of
Lucent to purchase notes under the Vendor Expansion Facility is subject to a
number of conditions, including the requirement that we have
-74-
<PAGE>
received certain cash equity contributions in respect of each additional market
and that we irrevocably commit to purchase one mobile switching center and 50
base stations for each additional market from Lucent.
The original $40.0 million principal amount of the Series A Notes is due in
2012, but is subject to mandatory prepayment on a dollar for dollar basis out of
the proceeds of future equity offerings in excess of $130.0 million (exclusive
of the $5.0 million of equity to be contributed in connection with the Louisiana
acquisitions). Any Series A Notes issued under the Vendor Expansion Facility
will mature six months after the Notes, but will be subject to mandatory
prepayment on a dollar for dollar basis out of the proceeds of future equity
offerings in excess of $175.7 million (exclusive of all cash equity received in
the Transactions).
Any Series B Notes issued under the Vendor Expansion Facility will mature
six months after the Notes, but in no event later than May 1, 2012, and will be
subject to mandatory prepayment on a dollar for dollar basis out of the net
proceeds of any future public or private offering or sale of debt securities
(exclusive of borrowings under the Credit Agreement).
The Series A Notes, including any Series A Notes issued under the Vendor
Expansion Facility, will initially accrue interest at a rate of 8.5% per annum.
If the Series A Notes are not redeemed in full on or prior to January 1, 2001,
the rate will increase by 1.5% per annum on each January 1 thereafter, beginning
January 1, 2002, provided that the maximum interest rate will not exceed 12 1/8%
which is 50 basis points per annum over the initial yield on the Notes. Interest
on the Series A Notes will be payable semi-annually, provided that prior to May
11, 2004, interest will be payable in additional Series A Notes and thereafter
will be payable in cash, unless prohibited by the Senior Credit Facilities or
the indenture governing the Notes.
Any Series B Notes issued under the Vendor Expansion Facility will
initially accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum. If the Series B Notes are
not redeemed in full on or prior to January 1, 2000, the rate will increase by
1.5% per annum on each January 1 thereafter beginning on January 1, 2001,
provided that the maximum interest rate will not exceed 12 1/8% which is 50
basis points per annum over the initial yield on the Notes. Interest on the
Series B Notes will be payable semi-annually, provided that prior to May 11,
2004, interest will be payable in additional Series B Notes and thereafter will
be payable in cash unless prohibited by the terms of the Senior Credit
Facilities or the indenture governing the Notes.
Upon a change of control as defined by the Note Purchase Agreement, the
Series A and Series B Notes must be repaid at their principal amount plus a
premium. The Series A and Series B may not be prepaid, however, if prohibited by
the terms of the Senior Credit Facilities, the indenture governing the Notes or
other indebtedness that ranks senior to the Series A and Series B Notes. In the
event a change of control occurs prior to May 1, 2002 in the case of the Series
A Notes, or in the case of the Series B Notes, May 1, 2000, the Series A and
Series B Notes may be prepaid in accordance with the optional prepayment
provisions.
Under the Note Purchase Agreement, Lucent may not engage in any remarketing
efforts of the Series A or Series B Notes, or unused commitments relating to the
Series A or Series B Notes, prior to January 23, 2000. If Lucent has not
completed certain sales in respect of Series A or Series B Notes then
outstanding prior to January 1, 2003, we must pay Lucent up to 3% of the then
outstanding principal amount of all Series A and Series B Notes to defray any
actual marketing distribution and other costs incurred by Lucent in connection
with any such sales remarketing.
The Series A Notes may be prepaid without payment of a premium at any time
prior to May 1, 2002. In addition, the Series A note may be prepaid at any time
after May 1, 2002 without payment of a premium to the extent Lucent or its
affiliates have retained them. The Series B Notes may be prepaid without payment
of a premium at any time prior to May 1, 2000. In addition, the Series B Notes
may be prepaid at any time after May 1, 2000 without payment of a premium to the
extent Lucent or its affiliates have retained them.
If we are subject to any bankruptcy or related procedures or there is any
default in the payment of our debt, including borrowings under the Senior Credit
Facilities and the Notes, that ranks senior in right of payment to the Series A
and Series B Notes, we will pay the senior debt in full before we make payments
on the Series A and Series B Notes. If a non-payment default occurs with
respect to any such debt, the holders of more than $25.0 million principal
amount of such debt may declare a payment blockage period of up to 179 days.
Events of default under the Note Purchase Agreement include, subject to
certain cure periods:
. the failure to pay principal or interest under such agreement when
due;
. violation of covenants;
. inaccuracy of representations and warranties;
-75-
<PAGE>
. cross-default for other indebtedness;
. bankruptcy;
. material judgments; and
. termination of the Procurement Contract.
Government Debt
In connection with our purchase of our F-Block licenses, we issued to the
FCC secured installment payment plan notes in an aggregate principal amount of
$9.2 million (the "FCC Notes"). This debt is shown on our balance sheet net of a
discount of $1.2 million reflecting the below market interest rate on the debt.
The FCC Notes are due April 28, 2007, and bear interest at a rate of 6.25% per
annum. In addition, we assumed $4.1 million in aggregate principal amount of
additional secured installment payment plan notes in connection with the Digital
PCS acquisition (the "Digital PCS Notes"). This debt is shown on our balance
sheet net of a discount of $0.7 million reflecting the below market interest
rate on the debt. The Digital PCS Notes are due August 21, 2007, and bear
interest at a rate of 6.125% per annum. In connection with the Wireless 2000
acquisition, we assumed $7.4 million in aggregate principal amount of additional
secured installment payment plan notes (the "Wireless 2000 Notes"). This debt is
shown on our balance sheet net of a discount of $1.3 million reflecting the
below market interest rate on the debt. The Wireless 2000 Notes are due
September 17, 2006, and bear interest at a rate of 7.0% per annum. A security
agreement secures the FCC Notes, Wireless 2000 Notes and Digital PCS Notes,
which grants the FCC a first priority security interest in the license for which
the applicable note was issued. In the event of a default under the FCC Notes,
Wireless 2000 Notes or Digital PCS Notes, the FCC may revoke the licenses for
which such defaulted notes were issued.

As of May 31, 1999, and after giving pro forma effect to the Transactions, our
outstanding capital stock consisted of:
. 236,824 shares of Class A Common Stock
. 919 shares of Class C Common Stock

. 210,608 shares of Series C Preferred Stock
. 49,417 shares of Series D Preferred Stock
. 24,150 shares of Series E Preferred Stock
. 48,261 shares of Series F Preferred Stock
The following summaries of certain provisions of the common stock and the
preferred stock are not complete and are subject to, and qualified in their
entirety by, the provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation and
bylaws. Subject to any required approval of holders of any shares of any class
or series of preferred stock, our Board has the power, by resolution, to issue
additional shares of preferred stock with such preferences, rights and
designations as it shall determine.
Voting Rights
Subject to the rights of specific classes of stock to vote as a class on
certain matters, the holders of the Class A Common Stock are entitled to
4,990,000 votes and the holders of Voting Preference Common Stock are entitled
to 5,010,000 votes of all outstanding capital stock. No other class of capital
stock has the right to vote on any matter except as required by law. In
addition, for so long as AT&T and its affiliates continue to hold at least two-
thirds of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock they held as of May 14, 1999,
they will be entitled, but not obliged, to nominate two of our directors. After
an initial public offering of our securities, or after the special voting rights
of Voting Preference Common Stock are eliminated, they may nominate only one
director.
Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that, except where a
class of capital stock has the right to vote as a class, a quorum shall be
present so long as a majority of the outstanding Voting Preference Common Stock
and shares representing at least 5,010,000 votes are present. When a class vote
is required, a majority of such class must also be present. Further, any action
not requiring a class vote may be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority
of Voting Preference Common Stock present at any meeting where a quorum is
present.
-77-
<PAGE>
The holders of each class of preferred stock have the right to vote as a class
on any measure to:
. authorize or issue any shares senior to or on a parity with such
class;
. amend our restated certificate of incorporation to change any of the
characteristics of such class; or
. authorize or issue any security convertible into, exchangeable for or
granting the right to purchase or otherwise receive any shares of
stock senior to or on a parity with such class.
The majority of each such class of preferred stock must affirmatively vote to
act.
Subject to any class voting requirements, shares of Common Stock
representing at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast for the
election of our directors must affirmatively vote for any amendment, alteration
or repeal of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws.
If (1) we receive an opinion of regulatory counsel that Class A Common
Stock and Voting Preference Common Stock can vote and be treated as a single
class of stock for quorum purposes and have one vote per share, (2) not less
than two-thirds of the outstanding Class A Common Stock affirmatively vote for
such single class status, and (3) our Board has not determined that it is likely
to be detrimental to us, we will seek the approval of the FCC to have Class A
Common Stock and Voting Preference Common Stock vote and be treated together as
a single class with one vote per share.
Certain of our stockholders have entered into agreements (including the
Stockholders' Agreement and the Investors Stockholders' Agreement dated as of
July 17, 1998 among the Cash Equity Investors and the Management Stockholders)
regarding the voting of their shares on certain matters, including the election
of directors. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--The AT&T
Agreements--Stockholders Agreement."
Conversion
After July 17, 2006, holders of Series A Preferred Stock may convert their
shares into shares of Class A Common Stock at a conversion rate equal to the
liquidation preference of Series A Preferred Stock divided by the market price
of Class A Common Stock.
On the date of an initial public offering of our capital stock, we may
convert shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock into
shares of Common Stock at a conversion rate equal to the liquidation preference
of Series C Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock, as applicable, divided
by the initial public offering price. If we convert Series C Preferred Stock to
shares of Common Stock on the date of an initial public offering of our capital
stock, shares of Series D Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into
shares of Senior Common Stock on that date at a rate equal to the liquidation
preference of Series D Preferred Stock divided by the initial public offering
price.
At any time, holders of Series F Preferred Stock may convert each share
into one share of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock; provided, that,
until the happening of certain events, the first 631.27 of such shares to be
converted are convertible into shares of Class D Common Stock. If we convert
Series C Preferred Stock into Common Stock upon an initial public offering of
our capital stock, each share of Series F Preferred Stock will be automatically
converted into one share of Senior Common Stock.
At any time, holders of Senior Common Stock may convert each share into one
share of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock; provided, that, until the
happening of certain events, the first 631.27 of such shares to be converted are
convertible into shares of Class D Common Stock.
At any time, holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock may
convert their shares into shares of the other class.
If we receive an opinion of counsel that Class A Common Stock and Voting
Preference Common Stock can vote and be treated as a single class of stock with
one vote per share, then, unless our Board shall determine that it is likely to
be detrimental to us, holders of Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock
may convert their shares into shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common
Stock.
All conversions are subject to obtaining any required FCC approvals.

liquidation preference of the Series Preferred Stock; and
. Shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock:

cause us to redeem our capital stock if, at such time:
. we are insolvent or will be rendered insolvent by such
redemption; or
. law or any of our agreements prohibits such redemption.
Further, our restated certificate of incorporation restricts our ability to
redeem any shares of capital stock to the extent shares of capital stock ranking
senior to or on a parity with such shares remain outstanding or dividends on
such senior or parity shares have not been paid in full.
Our restated certificate of incorporation also provides for our redemption
of any shares of our capital stock that is held by stockholders whose holding of
such shares, in the opinion of our Board, may result in the loss of, or failure
to obtain the reinstatement of, any of our licenses or franchises.
The Management Agreement provides for the redemption by us of certain
shares of Class A Common Stock and Series E Preferred Stock held by Mr. Vento
and Mr. Sullivan in certain circumstances. See "Management--Management

(2) the aggregate par value of Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock, at
our Board's discretion. Dividends may only be paid on the other classes of

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
General
As used in this section entitled "Description of the Notes," the terms
"we," "us" and "our" means TeleCorp PCS, Inc., a Delaware corporation, but does
not include any of our subsidiaries. Capitalized terms used in this section and
not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth under "--Certain Definitions."
The Old Notes have been and the Exchange Notes will be, upon request, from
us issued under the Indenture, dated as of April 23, 1999 (the "Indenture"),
among us, TeleCorp Communications, as our subsidiary guarantor, and Bankers
Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), a copy of which is available.
The following summary of certain provisions of the Indenture, the Old Notes
and the Exchange Notes is not complete and is subject to, and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the Indenture, including the
definitions of certain terms in and those terms made a part of the Indenture and
the Notes by the TIA.
Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be payable,
and the Notes may be exchanged or transferred, at our office or agency in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which initially shall be the
corporate trust office of the Trustee, at 4 Albany Street, New York, New York
10006), except that, at our option, payment of interest may be made by check
mailed to the registered holders of the Notes at their registered addresses.
The Notes are and will be issued only in fully registered form, without
coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. No
service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Notes, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax
or other similar governmental charge payable in connection with such transfer or
exchange.
Terms of the Notes
The Notes are our unsecured senior subordinated obligations, limited to
$575 million aggregate principal amount at maturity, and will mature on April
15, 2009.
Cash interest will not accrue or be payable on the Notes prior to April 15,
2004. Cash interest will accrue at the rate per annum shown on the front cover
page of this prospectus from April 15, 2004, or from the most recent date to
which interest has been paid or provided for, payable semiannually to holders of
record at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1 immediately
preceding the interest payment date on April 15 and October 15 of each year,
commencing October 15, 2004. We will pay cash interest on overdue principal at
1% per annum in excess of such rate, and we will pay interest on overdue
installments of cash interest at such higher rate to the extent lawful.
Optional Redemption
Except as set forth in the next paragraph, the Notes will not be redeemable
at our option prior to April 15, 2004. After April 15, 2004, we may redeem the
Notes, in whole or in part, on not less than 30, nor more than 60, days prior
notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of
principal amount at maturity), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant
record date to receive interest, if any, due on the relevant interest payment
date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on April 15 of the
years set forth below:
Year Redemption Price
- ---- ----------------
2004................................................ 105.813%
2005................................................ 103.875%
2006................................................ 101.938%
2007 and thereafter................................. 100.000%
In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to April 15, 2002, we
may redeem up to a maximum of 35% of the aggregate principal amount at maturity
of the Notes with the proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by us, at a
redemption price equal to 111 5/8% of the Accreted Value on the redemption date;
provided, however, that, after giving effect to any such redemption at least 65%
of the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Notes remains outstanding.
In addition, any such redemption shall be made within 60 days of such Equity
Offering upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice mailed to each
holder of Notes being redeemed and otherwise in accordance with the procedures
set forth in the Indenture.
-82-
<PAGE>
Selection
In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for
redemption will be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such
other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and
appropriate, although Notes in denominations of $1,000 or less will not be
redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of
redemption relating to such Note shall state the portion of such Note to be
redeemed. A new Note equal to the unredeemed portion of such Note will be issued
in the name of the holder upon cancellation of the original Note.
Ranking
The Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes:
. is our unsecured Senior Subordinated Indebtedness;
. is subordinated in right of payment, as set forth in the
Indenture, to all of our existing and future Senior Indebtedness;
. is pari passu in right of payment with all of our existing and
future Senior Subordinated Indebtedness;
. is senior in right of payment to all of our existing and future
Subordinated Indebtedness; and
. is effectively subordinated to any of our Secured Indebtedness
and any Senior Indebtedness of our Subsidiaries to the extent of
the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness.
The Notes are guaranteed by TeleCorp Communications, one of our
Subsidiaries, and may in the future be guaranteed by certain other of our
Subsidiaries that Incur Indebtedness. The Indebtedness evidenced by the
subsidiary guarantees:
. is unsecured Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of each of our
subsidiary guarantors;
. is subordinated in right of payment, as set forth in the
Indenture, to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of each
subsidiary guarantor;
. is pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future
Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of each of our subsidiary
guarantors;
. is senior in right of payment to all existing and future
Subordinated Indebtedness of each of our subsidiary guarantors;
and
. is effectively subordinated to any Secured Indebtedness of each
of our subsidiary guarantors and their subsidiaries to the extent
of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness.
Payment from the money or the proceeds of U.S. Government Obligations held
in any defeasance trust described under "--Defeasance," however, is not
subordinated to any Senior Indebtedness or subject to the restrictions described
within this offer.
We conduct substantially all of our operations through our Subsidiaries.
Claims of creditors of such Subsidiaries, including trade creditors, and claims
of preferred stockholders, if any, of such Subsidiaries generally will have
priority with respect to the assets and earnings of such Subsidiaries over the
claims of our creditors, including holders of the Notes. The Notes, therefore,
are effectively subordinated to creditors, including trade creditors, and
preferred stockholders, if any, of our Subsidiaries. As of March 31, 1999, on a
pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transactions, the total liabilities
of our Subsidiaries would have been approximately $512.1 million, including
trade payables. Although the Indenture contains limitations on the Incurrence of
Indebtedness by, and the issuance of preferred stock of, certain of our
Subsidiaries, such limitations are subject to a number of significant
qualifications.
As of March 31, 1999, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the
Transactions:
. with respect to us,
-83-
<PAGE>
. our outstanding Senior Indebtedness would have been $225.0
million (exclusive of unused commitments under the Credit
Agreement and additional senior indebtedness of our
subsidiaries), all of which would have been Secured
Indebtedness;
. we would have had no outstanding Senior Subordinated
Indebtedness other than the Notes; and
. our outstanding Indebtedness that would have been
subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Notes would
have been $40.5 million, including $0.5 million of interest
paid in kind;
. with respect to our subsidiary guarantors,
. the outstanding debt of our subsidiary guarantors would have
been $225.0 million (consisting entirely of a guarantee of
Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement);
. our subsidiary guarantors would have had no Senior
Subordinated Indebtedness outstanding other than the
Subsidiary Guarantee;
. our subsidiary guarantors would have had no outstanding
Indebtedness that would be subordinate or junior in right of
payment to the Subsidiary Guarantee; and
. with respect to our Subsidiaries that will not guarantee the
Notes,
. the outstanding Indebtedness of the Subsidiaries that will
not guarantee the Notes would have been $242.5 million,
consisting of $20.7 million of FCC Debt, which is shown
on our balance sheet net of discounts of $3.2 million
reflecting the below market interest rates on the debt,
and $225.0 million of guarantees of Indebtedness under the
Credit Agreement;
. our Subsidiaries that will not guarantee the Notes would
have had total liabilities of $320.8 million, consisting of
$20.7 million, of FCC Debt, $24.8 million of trade
payables, $4.1 million of accrued and other expenses and
$274.4 million of intercompany amounts payable. The FCC
Debt is shown on our balance sheet net of discounts of $3.2
million reflecting the below market interest rates on the
debt.
Although the Indenture limits the amount of additional Indebtedness which
we may Incur, under certain circumstances the amount of such Indebtedness could
be substantial and, in any case, such Indebtedness may be Senior Indebtedness.
See "--Certain Covenants--Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness."
"Senior Indebtedness" means the principal of, premium (if any) and accrued
and unpaid interest (including interest accruing on or after our filing of any

claim for post-filing interest is allowed in such proceedings) on, and fees and
other amounts owing in respect of Bank Indebtedness and all of our other
Indebtedness, including FCC Debt, whether outstanding on the date of the
Indenture or thereafter Incurred, unless in the instrument creating or
evidencing the same or under which the same is outstanding it is provided that
such obligations are not superior in right of payment to the Notes; provided,
however, that Senior Indebtedness shall not include:
. any of our obligations to any of our Subsidiaries;
. any liability for federal, state, local or other taxes that we
owe;
. any accounts payable or other liability to trade creditors
arising in the ordinary course of business (including guarantees
of or instruments evidencing such liabilities);
. any of our Indebtedness or obligations, and any accrued and
unpaid interest in respect of such Indebtedness or obligations,
that by its terms is subordinate or junior in any respect to any
of our other Indebtedness or obligations, including any of our
Senior Subordinated Indebtedness and any of our Subordinated
Indebtedness;
. any obligations with respect to any Capital Stock; or
. any Indebtedness Incurred in violation of the Indenture.

"Senior Indebtedness" of any our subsidiary guarantors has a correlative
meaning.
Only Senior Indebtedness will rank senior to the Notes in accordance with
the provisions of the Indenture. The Notes will in all respects rank pari passu
with all of our other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness. We have agreed in the
Indenture that we will not Incur, directly or indirectly, any Indebtedness which
is subordinate or junior in ranking in any respect to Senior Indebtedness unless
such Indebtedness is Senior Subordinated Indebtedness or is expressly
subordinated in right of payment to Senior Subordinated Indebtedness. Unsecured
Indebtedness is not deemed to be subordinate or junior to Secured Indebtedness
merely because it is unsecured.
We may not pay principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes or
make any deposit under the provisions described under "--Defeasance" and may not
otherwise repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire any Notes (collectively, "pay
the Notes"), other than payments made with money or U.S. Government Obligations
previously deposited in the defeasance trust described under "--Defeasance," if:
(1) any Designated Senior Indebtedness is not paid when due; or
(2) any other default on such Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and the
maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in
accordance with its terms
unless, in either case:
(x) the default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been
rescinded; or
(y) such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full.
We may pay the Notes without regard to the foregoing, however, if we and
the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the
Representative of the Designated Senior Indebtedness with respect to whichever
of the events set forth in clause (1) or (2) of the immediately preceding
sentence has occurred and is continuing. During the continuance of any default
(other than a default described in clause (1) or (2) of the second preceding
sentence) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness under which the
maturity may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except such
notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or upon the expiration of
any applicable grace periods, we may not pay the Notes for a period (a "Payment
Blockage Period") commencing upon the receipt by the Trustee (with a copy to us)
of written notice (a "Blockage Notice") of such default from the Representative
of such Designated Senior Indebtedness specifying an election to effect a
Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter (or earlier if such
Payment Blockage Period is terminated:
. by written notice to the Trustee and us from the Person or Persons
who gave such Blockage Notice;
. by repayment in full of such Designated Senior Indebtedness; or
. because the default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is no
longer continuing).
Despite the provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence (but
subject to the provisions contained in the first two sentences of this
paragraph), unless the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the
Representative of such holders have accelerated the maturity of such Designated
Senior Indebtedness, we may resume payments on the Notes after the end of such
Payment Blockage Period.
Not more than one Blockage Notice may be given in any period of 360
consecutive days, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to
Designated Senior Indebtedness during such period. However, if any Blockage
Notice within such 360-day period is given by or on behalf of any holders of
Designated Senior Indebtedness other than the Bank Indebtedness, the
Representative of the Bank Indebtedness may give another Blockage Notice within
such period. In no event, however, may the total number of days during which any
Payment Blockage Period or Payment Blockage Periods is or are in effect exceed
179 days in the aggregate during any period of 360 consecutive days. For
purposes of this paragraph, no default or event of default that existed or was
continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with
respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness initiating such Payment Blockage
Period shall be, or be made, the basis of the commencement of a subsequent
Payment Blockage Period by the Representative of such Designated Senior
Indebtedness, whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless
such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of
not less than 90 consecutive days.

<PAGE>
Upon any payment or distribution of our assets to creditors upon our total
or partial liquidation or our total or partial dissolution or in a bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to us or
our property:
. the holders of our Senior Indebtedness will be entitled to receive
payment in full in cash of such Senior Indebtedness before
Noteholders are entitled to receive any payment of principal of, or
interest on, the Notes; and
. until such Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, any payment or
distribution to which Noteholders would be entitled but for the
subordination provisions of the Indenture will be made to holders
of such Senior Indebtedness as their interests may appear, except
that Noteholders may receive shares of stock and any debt
securities that are subordinated to such Senior Indebtedness and
any securities exchanged for such Senior Indebtedness to at least
the same extent as the Notes.
If a distribution is made to Noteholders that, due to the subordination
provisions of the Indenture, should not have been made to them, such Noteholders
will be required to hold such distribution in trust for the holders of our
Senior Indebtedness and pay it over to them as their interests may appear.
If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, we
or the Trustee shall promptly notify the holders of the Designated Senior
Indebtedness or their Representative of the acceleration. If any Designated
Senior Indebtedness is outstanding, we may not pay the Notes until five Business
Days after such holders or the Representative of the Designated Senior
Indebtedness receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, may pay the
Notes only if the subordination provisions of the Indenture otherwise permit
payment at that time.
By reason of the subordination provisions in the Indenture, in the event of
insolvency, our creditors who are holders of our Senior Indebtedness may recover
more, ratably, than the Noteholders. Our creditors who are not holders of our
Senior Indebtedness or of our Senior Subordinated Indebtedness (including the
Notes) may recover less, ratably, than holders of our Senior Indebtedness and
may recover more, ratably, than the holders of our Subordinated Indebtedness.
The subordination provisions in the Indenture will not apply to payments
made with money or U.S. Government Obligations previously deposited in the
defeasance trust described under "--Defeasance."
Subsidiary Guarantees
Our subsidiary guarantor and certain of our future subsidiaries, as
described below, as primary obligors and not merely as sureties, jointly and
severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee on an unsecured senior
subordinated basis the performance and full and punctual payment when due,
whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of our
obligations under the Indenture and the Notes, whether for payment of principal
of, or interest on, or liquidated damages in respect of, the Notes, expenses,
indemnification or otherwise (all such obligations guaranteed by the subsidiary
guarantors being called the "Guaranteed Obligations") by executing a Subsidiary
Guarantee. Our subsidiary guarantors agree to pay, in addition to the amount
stated above, any and all costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees
and expenses, incurred by the Trustee or the holders of Notes in enforcing any
rights under the Subsidiary Guarantees. Each Subsidiary Guarantee is limited in
amount to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by
the applicable subsidiary guarantor without rendering the Subsidiary Guarantee,
as it relates to such subsidiary guarantor, voidable under applicable law
relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally. We will cause each Restricted
Subsidiary that Incurs Indebtedness to become a subsidiary guarantor; provided
that we will not cause any Special Purpose Subsidiary to become a subsidiary
guarantor unless such Special Purpose Subsidiary Incurs Indebtedness other than
Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (or any Refinancing Indebtedness
Incurred to Refinance any such Indebtedness) or FCC Debt. See "--Certain
Covenants--Future Subsidiary Guarantors."
The obligations of each of our subsidiary guarantors under its Subsidiary
Guarantee are senior subordinated obligations. As such, the rights of
Noteholders to receive payment from our subsidiary guarantor under its
Subsidiary Guarantee are subordinated in right of payment to the rights of
holders of Senior Indebtedness of such subsidiary guarantor. The terms of the
subordination provisions described under "--Ranking" with respect to our
obligations under the Notes apply equally to each of our subsidiary guarantors
and the obligations of such subsidiary guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee.
Each Subsidiary Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and shall:
. remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the
Guaranteed Obligations;
-86-
<PAGE>
. be binding upon each of our subsidiary guarantors and its
successors; and
. inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Trustee, the
holders of the Notes and their successors, transferees and assigns.
The Indenture provides that upon the merger or consolidation of our
subsidiary guarantors with or into any Person, other than us, any of our
Subsidiaries or any of our Affiliates, in a transaction in which such subsidiary
guarantor is not the surviving entity of such merger or consolidation, such
subsidiary guarantor shall be released and discharged from its obligations under
its Subsidiary Guarantee. The Indenture also provides that if we or any of our
Subsidiaries sell all the Capital Stock of any of our subsidiary guarantors,
including by issuance or otherwise, other than to us, to any of our Subsidiaries
or to any of our Affiliates, in a transaction constituting an Asset Disposition
(or which, but for the provisions of clause (3) of such term, would constitute
an Asset Disposition) and:
(1) the Net Available Proceeds from such Asset Disposition are used in
accordance with the covenant described under "--Certain Covenants--
Limitation on Certain Asset Dispositions;" or
(2) we deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate to the effect that the
Net Available Proceeds from such Asset Disposition will be used in
accordance with the covenant described under "--Certain Covenants--
Limitation on Certain Asset Dispositions" within the time limits specified
by such covenant,
then such subsidiary guarantor shall be released and discharged from its
obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee upon such use, in the case of clause
(1) above or upon such delivery, in the case of clause (2) above. In addition,
any of our subsidiary guarantors that becomes our subsidiary guarantor as a
consequence of its guarantee of certain Indebtedness permitted under the
Indenture and that is released and discharged from such guarantee will be
released and discharged from its Subsidiary Guarantee upon delivery of an
Officers' Certificate certifying such release and discharge from such guarantee
to the Trustee.
Change of Control
Upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each a "Change of
Control"), each holder of Notes will have the right to require us to repurchase
all or any part of such holder's Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to (1)
101% of the Accreted Value on the Purchase Date, if such date is on or before
April 15, 2004, or (2) 101% of the principal amount at maturity, plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the Purchase Date (subject to the right of
holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
relevant interest payment date), if such date is after April 15, 2004:
. any "person" or "group" (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d)
and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than a Permitted Holder or
Permitted Holders or a person or group controlled by a Permitted
Holder or Permitted Holders, becomes the "beneficial owner" (as
defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except
that a person shall be deemed to have "beneficial ownership" of all
such securities that such person has the right to acquire within
one year, upon the happening of an event or otherwise) directly or
indirectly, of our securities representing 50% or more of the
combined voting power of our then outstanding Voting Stock;
. the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute more
than a majority of the number of directors then serving on our
Board: individuals who, on April 23, 1999, constituted our Board
and any new director (other than a director whose initial
assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened
election contest, including, but not limited to, a consent
solicitation relating to the election of our directors) whose
appointment or election by our Board or nomination for election by
our stockholders was approved by the vote of at least two-thirds of
the directors then still in office or whose appointment, election
or nomination was previously so approved or recommended or made in
accordance with the terms of the Stockholders' Agreement; or
. our stockholders shall approve any Plan of Liquidation (whether or
not otherwise in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture).
Within 30 days following any Change of Control, we will be required to mail
a notice to each holder of the Notes, with a copy to the Trustee (the "Change of
Control Offer"), stating that we are commencing an Offer to Purchase all Old
Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to (1) 101% of the Accreted Value on the
Purchase Date, if such date is on or before April 15, 2004, or (2) 101% of the
principal amount at maturity, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the
Purchase Date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record
date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if such
date is after April 15, 2004.
-87-
<PAGE>
We will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of
Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the
times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the
Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by us and purchases all
Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.
We will be required to comply, to the extent applicable, with the
requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws
or regulations in connection with the repurchase of the Notes under this
covenant. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with provisions of this covenant, we will be required to
comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be
deemed to have breached our obligations under this covenant by virtue of our
compliance with such securities laws and regulations.
If, at the time of a Change of Control, the terms of the Bank Indebtedness
restrict or prohibit the repurchase of Notes under this covenant, then, prior to
the mailing of the notice to holders of the Notes as provided in the immediately
following paragraph, but in any event within 30 days following any Change of
Control, we will be required to:
. repay in full all Bank Indebtedness; or
. obtain the requisite consent under the agreements governing such
Bank Indebtedness to permit the repurchase of the Notes as required
by this covenant.
The Change of Control purchase feature is a result of negotiations between
us and the initial purchasers of the Old Notes. We have no present intention to
engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible
that we may decide to do so in the future. Subject to the limitations described
under "--Certain Covenants," we could, in the future, enter into certain
transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations,
that would not constitute a Change of Control under the Indenture, but that
could increase the amount of Indebtedness outstanding at such time or otherwise
affect our capital structure or credit ratings. Restrictions on our ability to
Incur additional Indebtedness are contained in the covenant described under
"Certain Covenants--Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness." Such restrictions
may only be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal
amount at maturity of the Notes then outstanding. Except for the limitations
contained in such covenants, however, the Indenture does not contain any
covenants or provisions that may afford holders of the Notes protection in the
event of a highly leveraged transaction.
The occurrence of certain of the events that would constitute a Change of
Control would constitute a default under the Credit Agreement. Our future Senior
Indebtedness may also contain prohibitions of certain events which would
constitute a Change of Control or require such Senior Indebtedness to be
repurchased upon a Change of Control. Moreover, the exercise by holders of the
Notes of their right to require us to repurchase the Notes could cause a default
under such Senior Indebtedness, even if the Change of Control itself does not,
due to the financial effect of such repurchase on us. Finally, our ability to
pay cash to holders of the Notes upon a repurchase may be limited by our then
existing financial resources. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds
will be available when necessary to make any required repurchases. The
provisions of the Indenture related to our obligation to make a Change of
Control Offer as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified with
the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount at maturity
of the Notes.
Certain Covenants
The Indenture contains certain covenants including, among others, the
following:
Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness. The Indenture provides that we
will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or
indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), except:
(1) Indebtedness of us or any of our subsidiary guarantors if, immediately
after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness and the
receipt and application of the net proceeds therefrom (including,
without limitation, the application or use of the net proceeds
therefrom to repay Indebtedness, consummate an Asset Acquisition or
make any Restricted Payment):
(a) the ratio of (x) Total Consolidated Indebtedness to (y)
Annualized Pro Forma Consolidated Operating Cash Flow would be
less than:
7.0 to 1.0, if the Indebtedness is to be Incurred prior to
April 1, 2005; or
6.0 to 1.0 if the Indebtedness is to be Incurred on or after
April 1, 2005;
-88-
<PAGE>
or
(b) in the case of any Incurrence of Indebtedness prior to April 1,
2005 only, Total Consolidated Indebtedness would be equal to or
less than 75% of Total Invested Capital;
(2) Bank Indebtedness of us and our Restricted Subsidiaries in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $600 million;
(3) Indebtedness of us and our Restricted Subsidiaries outstanding from
time to time under any Vendor Credit Arrangement;
(4) Indebtedness owed by us to any Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness
owed by a Restricted Subsidiary to us or another Restricted
Subsidiary; provided, however, that, upon either (a) the transfer or
other disposition by such Restricted Subsidiary or us of any
Indebtedness so permitted under this clause (4) to a Person other than
us or another Restricted Subsidiary or (b) the issuance (other than of
directors' qualifying shares), sale, transfer or other disposition of
shares of Capital Stock or other ownership interests (including by
consolidation or merger) of such Restricted Subsidiary to a Person
other than us or another such Restricted Subsidiary, the exception
provided by this clause (4) shall no longer be applicable to such
Indebtedness and such Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been
Incurred at the time of any such issuance, sale, transfer or other
disposition, as the case may be;
(5) Indebtedness of us or any Restricted Subsidiary under any Hedging
Agreement to the extent entered into to protect us or such Restricted
Subsidiary from fluctuations in interest rates on any other
Indebtedness permitted under the Indenture (including the Notes),
currency exchange rates or commodity prices and not for speculative
purposes;
(6) Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance any Indebtedness
Incurred under the prior clause (1) or (3) above, the Notes or the
Subsidiary Guarantees;
(7) Indebtedness of us under the Notes and Indebtedness of our subsidiary
guarantors under the Subsidiary Guarantees, in each case Incurred in
accordance with the Indenture;
(8) Capital Lease Obligations of us or any Restricted Subsidiary in an
aggregate principal amount not in excess of $25.0 million at any time
outstanding;
(9) FCC Debt assumed in connection with the Digital Acquisition or the
Wireless 2000 Acquisition;
(10) Indebtedness of us or any Restricted Subsidiary consisting of a
guarantee of Indebtedness of us or a Restricted Subsidiary that was
permitted to be Incurred by another provision of this covenant;
(11) Indebtedness of us or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of
statutory obligations, performance, surety or appeal bonds or other
obligations of a like nature Incurred in the ordinary course of
business;
(12) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary existing at the time we
acquired such Restricted Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness Incurred
in connection with, or in contemplation of, the transaction or series
of related transactions in which we acquired such Restricted
Subsidiary); provided, however, that on the date we acquired such
Restricted Subsidiary, we would have been able to Incur $1.00 of
additional Indebtedness under clause (1) above after giving effect to
the Incurrence of such Indebtedness under this clause (12) and the
acquisition of such Restricted Subsidiary and Refinancing Indebtedness
Incurred by us or such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of
Indebtedness Incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary under this clause
(12); and
(13) Indebtedness of us not otherwise permitted to be Incurred under
clauses (1) through (12) above which, together with any other
outstanding Indebtedness Incurred under this clause (13), has an
aggregate principal amount not in excess of $75 million at any time
outstanding.
Indebtedness of a Person existing at the time such Person becomes a
Restricted Subsidiary or which a Lien on an asset we or a Restricted Subsidiary
acquired secures (whether or not such Indebtedness is assumed by the acquiring
person) shall be deemed Incurred at the time the Person becomes a Restricted
Subsidiary or at the time of the asset acquisition, as the case may be.
For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant:
-89-
<PAGE>
(1) if an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the
categories of Indebtedness permitted under clauses (1) through (13)
above, in our sole discretion, we may classify such item of
Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this covenant and may
from time to time reclassify such items of Indebtedness in any manner
that would comply with this covenant at the time of such
reclassification;
(2) Indebtedness permitted by this covenant need not be permitted solely
by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be
permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more
other provisions of this covenant permitting such Indebtedness;
(3) if Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of
Indebtedness described in this covenant, in our sole discretion, we
may classify such Indebtedness and only be required to include the
amount of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses; and
(4) accrual of interest (including interest paid-in-kind) and the
accretion of accreted value will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of
Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant.
Despite any other provision of this covenant:
(1) the maximum amount of Indebtedness that we or any Restricted
Subsidiary may Incur under this covenant shall not be deemed to be
exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of
currencies; and
(2) Indebtedness Incurred under to the Credit Agreement prior to or on the
date of the Indenture shall be treated as Incurred under clause (2) of
the first paragraph of this covenant.
Limitation on Layered Indebtedness. The Indenture provides that we will
not:
(1) directly or indirectly Incur any Indebtedness that by its terms would
expressly rank senior in right of payment to the Notes and rank
subordinate in right of payment to any of our other Indebtedness; or
(2) cause or permit any of our subsidiary guarantors to, and none of our
subsidiary guarantors will, directly or indirectly, Incur any
Indebtedness that by its terms would expressly rank senior in right of
payment to the Subsidiary Guarantee of such subsidiary guarantor and
rank subordinate in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of such
subsidiary guarantor;
provided that no Indebtedness shall be deemed to be subordinated solely by
virtue of being unsecured.
Limitation on Restricted Payments. The Indenture provides that we will not,
and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or
indirectly, on or prior to December 31, 2002:
(1) declare or pay any dividend, or make any distribution of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities, in respect of any
class of our Capital Stock, excluding any dividends or distributions
payable solely in shares of our Qualified Stock or in options,
warrants or other rights to acquire our Qualified Stock;
(2) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any shares
of our Capital Stock, any options, warrants or rights to purchase or
acquire such shares or any securities convertible or exchangeable into
such shares, other than any such shares of Capital Stock, options,
warrants, rights or securities that we or a Restricted Subsidiary own;
(3) make any Investment, other than a Permitted Investment, in any Person
other than us or a Restricted Subsidiary; or
(4) redeem, defease, repurchase, retire or otherwise acquire or retire for
value, prior to its scheduled maturity, repayment or any sinking fund
payment, Subordinated Indebtedness or make any payment of interest or
premium on, or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities, in respect of, the Series A Notes, excluding
payments of interest or distributions payable solely in additional
Series A Notes.
Each of the transactions described in clauses (1) through (4), other than any
exception to any such clause, is a "Restricted Payment."
At any time after December 31, 2002, we will not, and will not cause or permit
any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, make a Restricted Payment
if, at the time of:
-90-
<PAGE>
(A) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
at the time of or after giving effect to such Restricted Payment;
(B) immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, we could
not Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under clause (1)
of the covenant described under "--Limitation on Incurrence of
Indebtedness;" and
(C) immediately upon giving effect to such Restricted Payment, the
aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments declared or made on or
after April 23, 1999, including any Designation Amount, exceeds the
sum, without duplication, of:
(1) the amount of (x) our Consolidated Cash Flow after December 31,
2002, through the end of the latest full fiscal quarter for which
our consolidated financial statements are available preceding the
date of such Restricted Payment (treated as a single accounting
period), less (y) 150% of our cumulative Consolidated Interest
Expense after December 31, 2002, through the end of the latest
full fiscal quarter for which our consolidated financial
statements are available preceding the date of such Restricted
Payment (treated as a single accounting period); plus
(2) the aggregate net cash proceeds, other than Excluded Cash
Proceeds, that we received as a capital contribution in respect
of Qualified Stock or from the proceeds of a sale of Qualified
Stock made after April 23, 1999, excluding in each case (x) the
proceeds from a sale of Qualified Stock to a Restricted
Subsidiary and (y) the proceeds from a sale of Qualified Stock to
an employee stock ownership plan or other trust that we or any of
our Subsidiaries established; plus
(3) the aggregate net cash proceeds that we or any Restricted
Subsidiary received from the sale, disposition or repayment,
other than to us or a Restricted Subsidiary, of any Investment
made after the date of the Indenture and constituting a
Restricted Payment in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the
return of capital with respect to such Investment and (y) the
initial amount of such Investment, in either case, less the cost
of disposition of such Investment; plus
(4) an amount equal to the consolidated Net Investment on the date of
Revocation made by us and/or any Restricted Subsidiary in any of
our Subsidiaries that has been designated as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary after April 23, 1999 upon its redesignation as a
Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the covenant described
under "--Limitation on Designations of Unrestricted
Subsidiaries."
For purposes of:
(1) the preceding clause (C)(2), the value of the aggregate net cash
proceeds that we received from, or as a capital contribution in
connection with, the issuance of Qualified Stock either upon the
conversion of our convertible Indebtedness or the convertible
Indebtedness of any of our Restricted Subsidiaries or in exchange for
our outstanding Indebtedness or the outstanding Indebtedness of any of
our Restricted Subsidiaries or upon the exercise of options, warrants
or rights will be the net cash proceeds that we or any Restricted
Subsidiary received upon the issuance of such Indebtedness, options,
warrants or rights, plus the incremental amount that we or any
Restricted Subsidiary received upon the conversion, exchange or
exercise;
(2) the preceding clause (C)(4), the value of the consolidated Net
Investment on the date of Revocation shall be equal to the Fair Market
Value of the aggregate amount of our or any Restricted Subsidiary's
Investments in such of our Subsidiaries on the applicable date of
Designation; and
(3) determining the amount expended for Restricted Payments, cash
distributed shall be valued at the face amount and property other than
cash shall be valued at its Fair Market Value on the date we make or a
Restricted Subsidiary makes such Restricted Payment, as the case may
be.
The provisions of this covenant shall not prohibit:
(1) the payment of any dividend or distribution within 60 days after the
date of its declaration, if at the date of declaration the payment
would comply with the provisions of the Indenture;
(2) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the purchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition
of any of our Capital Stock out of the net cash proceeds of the
substantially concurrent capital contribution to us in connection with
Qualified Stock or out of the net cash proceeds that we received from
the substantially concurrent issue or sale, other than to a Restricted
Subsidiary or to an employee stock ownership plan or
-91-
<PAGE>
other trust that we or any of our Subsidiaries established, of

Limitation on Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. The Indenture
provides that we will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to
exist any consensual encumbrances or restrictions of any kind on the ability of
any Restricted Subsidiary to:
(1) pay, directly or indirectly, dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make
any other distributions in respect of its Capital Stock or pay any
Indebtedness or other obligation owed to us or any other Restricted
Subsidiary;
(2) make any Investment in us or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or
(3) transfer any of its property or assets to us or any other Restricted
Subsidiary,
except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:
(A) any agreement in effect on April 23, 1999 as in effect on such date;
(B) any agreement relating to any Indebtedness Incurred by such Restricted
Subsidiary prior to the date on which we acquired such Restricted
Subsidiary and outstanding on such date and not Incurred in
anticipation or contemplation of becoming a Restricted Subsidiary;
provided, however, that such encumbrance or restriction shall not
apply to any of our property or assets or any property or assets of
any Restricted Subsidiary other than such Restricted Subsidiary;
(C) customary provisions contained in an agreement which has been entered
into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the
Capital Stock or assets of a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however,
that such encumbrance or restriction is applicable only to such
Restricted Subsidiary or its property and assets;
(D) any agreement effecting a Refinancing or amendment of Indebtedness
Incurred under any agreement referred to in clause (A) or (B) above;
provided, however, that the provisions contained in such Refinancing
or amendment agreement relating to such encumbrance or restriction are
no more restrictive in any material respect than the provisions
contained in such agreement referred to in clause (A) or (B) above in
the reasonable judgment of our Board;
(E) the Indenture;
(F) applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order;
(G) customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease
governing any leasehold interest of any Restricted Subsidiary;
(H) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary
course of business that impose restrictions of the type referred to in
clause (3) of this covenant; and
(I) restrictions of the type referred to in clause (3) of this covenant
contained in security agreements securing Indebtedness of a Restricted
Subsidiary to the extent that such Liens restrict the transfer of
property subject to such agreements.
Limitation on Certain Asset Dispositions. The Indenture provides that we
will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or
indirectly, make any Asset Disposition unless:
(1) we or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives
consideration for such Asset Disposition at least equal to the Fair
Market Value of the assets sold or disposed of as determined by our
Board in good faith and evidenced by a resolution of our Board filed
with the Trustee;
(2) other than in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, not less than 75% of
the consideration received by us or such Restricted Subsidiary from
the disposition consists of:
(A) cash or Cash Equivalents;
(B) the assumption of our Indebtedness or Indebtedness of such
Restricted Subsidiary, other than non-recourse Indebtedness or
any Subordinated Indebtedness, or other obligations relating to
such assets (accompanied by an irrevocable and unconditional
release of us or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on
the Indebtedness or other obligations assumed); or
-94-
<PAGE>
(C) notes or other obligations that we or such Restricted Subsidiary
received from such transferee or such Restricted Subsidiary
convert into cash or Cash Equivalents concurrently with the
receipt of such notes or other obligations (to the extent of the
cash that we actually received); and
(3) all Net Available Proceeds, less any amounts invested within 365 days
of such Asset Disposition to acquire all or substantially all of the
assets of, or a majority of the Voting Stock of, an entity primarily
engaged in a Permitted Business, to make a capital expenditure or to
acquire other long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted
Business, are applied, on or prior to the 365th day after such Asset
Disposition, unless and to the extent that we shall determine to make
an Offer to Purchase, to the permanent reduction and prepayment of any
of our Senior Indebtedness then outstanding, including a permanent
reduction of the commitments in respect of such Senior Indebtedness.
Any Net Available Proceeds from any Asset Disposition which is subject to
the immediately preceding sentence that are not applied as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence shall be used promptly after the expiration of
the 365th day after such Asset Disposition, or earlier if we so elect, to make
an Offer to Purchase Old Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to (a) 100% of
the Accreted Value on the Purchase Date, if such Purchase Date is on or before
April 15, 2004 and (b) 100% of the principal amount at maturity plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the Purchase Date, if such Purchase Date is after April 15,
2004; provided, however, that if we elect or the terms of any other Senior
Subordinated Indebtedness require, an offer may be made ratably to purchase the
Notes and such other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, we may defer making any Offer to Purchase the Old Notes, and any
offer to purchase other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness ratably, until there
are aggregate unutilized Net Available Proceeds from Asset Dispositions
otherwise subject to the two immediately preceding sentences equal to or in
excess of $15.0 million, at which time the entire unutilized Net Available
Proceeds from Asset Dispositions otherwise subject to the two immediately
preceding sentences, and not just the amount in excess of $15.0 million, shall
be applied as required under this paragraph. We may use any remaining Net
Available Proceeds following the completion of the required Offer to Purchase
and any offer to purchase other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness ratably for any
other purpose, subject to the other provisions of the Indenture, and the amount
of Net Available Proceeds then required to be otherwise applied in accordance
with this covenant shall be reset to zero. These provisions will not apply to a
transaction consummated in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture
described under "--Merger, Consolidation and Certain Sales of Assets."
Pending application as set forth above, the Net Available Proceeds of any
Asset Disposition may be invested in cash or Cash Equivalents or used to reduce
temporarily Indebtedness outstanding under any revolving credit agreement to
which we are a party and under which we have Incurred Indebtedness.
We must comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section
14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in
connection with the repurchase of the Notes under this covenant. To the extent
that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with
provisions of this covenant, we must comply with the applicable securities laws
and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached our obligations under
this covenant.
Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. The Indenture provides that we
will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or
indirectly, conduct any business or enter into, renew or extend any transaction
with any of our or their respective Affiliates, including, without limitation,
the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property, the rendering of any service
or the making of any guarantee, loan, advance or Investment, either directly or
indirectly, unless the terms of such transaction are at least as favorable as
the terms that could be obtained at such time by us or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a comparable transaction made on an arms-
length basis with a Person that is not such an Affiliate; provided, however,
that:
(1) in any transaction involving aggregate consideration in excess of
$10.0 million, we shall deliver an Officers' Certificate to the
Trustee stating that a majority of the disinterested directors of our
Board or the board of such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be,
have determined, in their good faith judgment, that the terms of such
transaction are at least as favorable as the terms that could be
obtained by us or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a
comparable transaction made on an arms-length basis between
unaffiliated parties; and
(2) if the aggregate consideration is in excess of $25.0 million, we shall
also deliver to the Trustee, prior to the consummation of the
transaction, the favorable written opinion of a nationally recognized
accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm as to the fairness of
the transaction to the holders of the Notes, from a financial point of
view.
Despite the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this covenant shall
not apply to:
(1) transactions between or among us and/or any Restricted Subsidiaries;
-95-
<PAGE>
(2) any Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment permitted by the
covenant described under "--Limitation on Restricted Payments;"
(3) directors' fees, indemnification and similar arrangements, officers'
indemnification, employee stock option or employee benefit plans and
employee salaries and bonuses paid or created in the ordinary course
of business;
(4) any other agreement in effect on the date of the Indenture, as the
same shall be amended from time to time; provided that any material
amendment shall be required to comply with the provisions of the
immediately preceding paragraph;
(5) the Acquisitions;
(6) transactions with AT&T or any of its Affiliates relating to the
marketing or provision of telecommunication services or related
hardware, software or equipment on terms that are no less favorable,
when taken as a whole, to us such Restricted Subsidiary, as
applicable, than those available from unaffiliated third parties;
(7) transactions involving the leasing or sharing or other use by us or
any Restricted Subsidiary of communications network facilities
(including, without limitation, cable or fiber lines, equipment or
transmission capacity) of any of our Affiliates (such Affiliate being
a "Related Party") on terms that are no less favorable when taken as a
whole to us or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, than those
available from such Related Party to unaffiliated third parties;
(8) transactions involving the provision of telecommunication services by
a Related Party in the ordinary course of its business to us or any
Restricted Subsidiary, or by us or any Restricted Subsidiary to a
Related Party, on terms that are no less favorable when taken as a
whole to us or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, than those
available from such Related Party to unaffiliated third parties;
(9) any sales agency agreements under which an Affiliate has the right to
market any or all of our products or services or the products or
services of any of the Restricted Subsidiaries;
(10) transactions involving the sale, transfer or other disposition of any
shares of Capital Stock of any Marketing Affiliate; provided that such
Marketing Affiliate is not engaged in any activity other than the
registration, holding, maintenance or protection of trademarks and
such related licensing; and
(11) customary commercial banking, investment banking, underwriting,
placement agent or financial advisory fees paid in connection with
services rendered to us and our subsidiaries in the ordinary course.
Limitation on our Activities and Activities of the Restricted Subsidiaries.
The Indenture provides that we will not, and will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than a Permitted Business, except to
such extent as is not material to us and our Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole.
Amendments to Securities Purchase Agreement. The Indenture provides that we
will not amend, modify or waive, or refrain from enforcing, any provision of the
Securities Purchase Agreement in any manner that would cause the net cash
proceeds from capital contributions or sales of our Qualified Stock under the
Securities Purchase Agreement to be less than $128.0 million.
Provision of Financial Information. The Indenture provides that, whether or
not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are
outstanding, we will furnish to the holders of the Notes:
(1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required
to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if we
were required to file such forms, including a section entitled
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" that describes our financial condition and
results of operations and that of our consolidated Subsidiaries and a
report on such annual information only by our certified independent
accountants; and
(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on
Form 8-K if we were required to file such reports, in each case within
the time period specified in the SEC's rules and regulations.
In addition, following the consummation of the Exchange Offer whether or
not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, we will file a copy of all
such information and reports with the SEC for public availability within the
time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations (unless the SEC will
not accept such a filing) and make such information available to prospective
investors upon request. In addition, the Company will, for so long as any Notes
remain outstanding, furnish to the
-96-
<PAGE>
holders of Notes, upon request, the information required to be delivered under
Rule 144A(d)(4) of the Securities Act. The Company will also comply with Section
314(a) of the TIA.
Limitation on Designations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Indenture
provides that we may designate any of our Subsidiaries (other than an Ineligible
Subsidiary) as an "Unrestricted Subsidiary" under the Indenture (a
"Designation") only if:
(1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at
the time of or after giving effect to such Designation;
(2) we would be permitted under the Indenture to make an Investment at the
time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation) in an
amount (the "Designation Amount") equal to the Fair Market Value of the
aggregate amount of its Investments in such Subsidiary on such date; and
(3) except in the case of any of our Subsidiaries in which an Investment is
being made under, and as permitted by, the third paragraph of the covenant
described under "--Limitation on Restricted Payments," we would be
permitted to Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under clause (1) of
the covenant described under "--Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness"
at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such
Designation).
In the event of any such Designation, we shall be deemed to have made an
Investment constituting a Restricted Payment under the covenant described under
"--Limitation on Restricted Payments" for all purposes of the Indenture in the
Designation Amount.
The Indenture further provides that we shall not, and shall not permit any
Restricted Subsidiary to, at any time:
(1) provide direct or indirect credit support for, or a guarantee of, any
Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary including of any undertaking,
agreement or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness;
(2) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted
Subsidiary; or
(3) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness which provides that
the holder of such Indebtedness may upon notice, lapse of time or both
declare a default on such Indebtedness or cause the payment be accelerated
or payable prior to its final scheduled maturity upon the occurrence of a
default with respect to any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary
(including any right to take enforcement action against such Unrestricted
Subsidiary), except, in the case of clause (1) or (2) above, to the extent
permitted under the covenant described under "--Limitation on Restricted
Payments."
The Indenture further provides that we may revoke any Designation of a
Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a "Revocation"), whereupon such
Subsidiary shall then constitute a Restricted Subsidiary, if no Default shall
have occurred and be continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such
Revocation. In the event of any such Revocation, we shall be deemed to continue
to have a permanent Investment in an Unrestricted Subsidiary constituting a
Restricted Payment under the covenant described under "--Limitation on
Restricted Payments" for all purposes under the Indenture in a positive amount
equal to:
(1) the Fair Market Value of the aggregate amount of our Investments in such
Subsidiary at the time of such Revocation; less
(2) the portion proportionate to our equity interest in such Subsidiary of the
Fair Market Value of the net assets of such Subsidiary at the time of such
Revocation.
All Designations and Revocations must be evidenced by a resolution of our
Board delivered to the Trustee certifying compliance with the foregoing
provisions.
Future Subsidiary Guarantors. We will cause each Restricted Subsidiary that
Incurs Indebtedness to become our subsidiary guarantor, and, if applicable,
execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form set
forth in the Indenture under which such Restricted Subsidiary will guarantee
payment of the Notes; provided that we shall not cause any Special Purpose
Subsidiary to become our subsidiary guarantor unless such Special Purpose
Subsidiary Incurs Indebtedness other than Indebtedness in respect of the Credit
Agreement, or any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance such
Indebtedness, or FCC Debt. Each Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited to an
amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that
Restricted Subsidiary without rendering the Subsidiary Guarantee, as it relates
to such Restricted Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally.

<PAGE>
Merger, Consolidation and Certain Sales of Assets
We will not consolidate or merge with or into any Person, or sell, assign,
lease, convey or otherwise dispose of, or cause or permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to consolidate or merge with or into any Person, or to sell, assign,
lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets,
determined on a consolidated basis for us and the Restricted Subsidiaries,
whether as an entirety or substantially an entirety in one transaction or a
series of related transactions, including by way of liquidation or dissolution,
to any Person unless, in each such case:
(1) the entity formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, if
other than us or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, or to
which such sale, assignment, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall
have been made (the "Surviving Entity"), is a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United
States or the District of Columbia;
(2) the Surviving Entity assumes by supplemental indenture all of our
obligations on the Notes and under the Indenture;
(3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the use of any net
proceeds from such transaction on a pro forma basis, we or the Surviving
Entity, as the case may be, could Incur at least $1.00 of Indebtedness
under clause (1) of the covenant described under "--Certain Covenants--
Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness;"
(4) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and treating any
Indebtedness which becomes our obligation or an obligation of any of our
Restricted Subsidiaries as a result of such transactions as having been
Incurred by us or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, at the
time of the transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing;
(5) we deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that such merger, consolidation or sale of assets
and such supplemental indenture, if any, comply with the Indenture; and
(6) we deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that holders
of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income
tax purposes as a result of such merger, consolidation or sale of assets
and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same
manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such merger,
sale or consolidation had not occurred.
The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any merger of a Restricted
Subsidiary with or into us or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary or the release of any of
our subsidiary guarantors in accordance with the terms of its Subsidiary
Guarantee and the Indenture in connection with any transaction complying with
the provisions of covenant described under "--Certain Covenants--Limitation on
Certain Asset Dispositions."
The Indenture provides that we will not permit any of our subsidiary
guarantors to consolidate or merge with or into any Person, or sell, assign,
lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of such
subsidiary guarantor's assets, whether as an entirety or substantially an
entirety in one transaction or a series of related transactions, including by
way of liquidation or dissolution, to any Person unless, in each such case:
(1) the entity formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, if
other than such subsidiary guarantor, or to which such sale, assignment,
lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made, is a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States,
any state of the United States or the District of Columbia;
(2) such corporation assumes by supplemental indenture all of the obligations
of our subsidiary guarantors, if any, under its Subsidiary Guarantee;
(3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and treating any
Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of such subsidiary guarantor as a
result of such transactions as having been Incurred by such subsidiary
guarantor at the time of the transaction, no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing; and
(4) we deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that such merger, consolidation or sale of assets
and such supplemental indenture, if any, comply with the Indenture.
Defaults
Each of the following events constitutes an Event of Default under the
Indenture:
-98-
<PAGE>
(1) a default in any payment of interest on any Note when due and payable,
whether or not prohibited by the provisions described under "--Ranking,"
continued for 30 days;
(2) a default in the payment of the Accreted Value or principal of any Note
when due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon required redemption or
repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise, whether or not such payment is
prohibited by the provisions described under "--Ranking;"
(3) our failure to comply with its obligations under the covenant described
under "--Merger, Consolidation and Certain Sales of Assets;"
(4) our failure to comply for 30 days after notice with any of its obligations
under the covenants described under "--Change of Control" or "--Certain
Covenants" (in each case, other than a failure to purchase the Notes);
(5) our failure to comply for 60 days after notice with its other agreements
contained in the Indenture or the Notes;
(6) our failure or the failure of any Significant Subsidiary to pay any
Indebtedness within any applicable grace period after final maturity or
the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders of such
Indebtedness because of a default if the total amount of such Indebtedness
unpaid or accelerated exceeds $15.0 million or its foreign currency
equivalent (the "cross acceleration provision") and such failure continues
for 10 days after receipt of the notice specified in the Indenture;
(7) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of us or a
Significant Subsidiary (the "bankruptcy provisions");
(8) the rendering of any final judgment or decree, not subject to appeal, for
the payment of money in excess of $15.0 million or its foreign currency
equivalent at the time it is entered against us or a Significant
Subsidiary and is not discharged, waived or stayed if:
(A) an enforcement proceeding thereon is commenced by any creditor; or
(B) such judgment or decree remains outstanding for a period of 60 days
following such judgment and is not discharged, waived or stayed (the
"judgment default provision"); or
(9) any Subsidiary Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect (except as
contemplated by the terms of the Indenture) or any of our subsidiary
guarantors or Person acting by or on behalf of such subsidiary guarantor
denies or disaffirms such subsidiary guarantor's obligations under the
Indenture or any Subsidiary Guarantee and such Default continues for 10
days after receipt of the notice specified in the Indenture.
The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any
such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected
by operation of law or under any judgment, decree or order of any court or any
order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.
However, a default under clauses (4), (5) or (8) will not constitute an Event
of Default until the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount at maturity of the Old Notes notify us of the default and we do
not cure such default within the time specified in clauses (4), (5) or (8) after
receipt of such notice.
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default relating to certain
events of our bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount at maturity of the Old Notes by notice to us may accelerate the maturity
of all the Notes. Upon such an acceleration, the Old Notes will become
immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to certain events
of our bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occurs, the principal of and
interest on all the Notes will become immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the holders of the Notes.
Under certain circumstances, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount at maturity of the Old Notes may rescind any such acceleration with
respect to the Notes and its consequences.
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the
Trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will
be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the
Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the Notes unless
such holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security
against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive
payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no holder of Notes
may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless:
-99-
<PAGE>
(1) such holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of
Default is continuing;
(2) holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the
Old Notes have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy;
(3) such holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
against any loss, liability or expense;
(4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the
receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and
(5) the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the
Old Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such
request within such 60-day period.
Subject to certain restrictions, the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount at maturity of the Old Notes are given the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The
Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or
the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights
of any other holder of Notes or that would involve the Trustee in personal
liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee will be
entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against
all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.
The Indenture provides that, if a Default occurs and is continuing and is
known to the Trustee, the Trustee must mail to each holder of Notes notice of
the Default within the earlier of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is
known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee.
Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any)
or interest on any Note (including payments under the redemption provisions of
such Note), the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its
Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the
interests of the Noteholders. In addition, we will be required to deliver to the
Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a certificate
indicating whether the signers know of any Default that occurred during the
previous year. We will also be required to deliver to the Trustee, within 30
days after the occurrence of such event, written notice of any event which would
constitute certain Events of Default, the status of any such event and the
action we are taking or propose to take in respect of such event.
Amendments and Waivers
Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended with
the written consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
at maturity of the Notes then outstanding, and any past default or compliance
with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Notes then outstanding.
However, without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note affected, no
amendment may, among other things:
(1) reduce the amount of the Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment;
(2) reduce the rate of, or extend the time for payment of, interest or any
liquidated damages on any Note;
(3) reduce the principal of, or extend the Stated Maturity of, any Note;
(4) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the
time at which any Note may be redeemed as described under "--Optional
Redemption;"
(5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note;
(6) make any change to the subordination provisions of the Indenture that
adversely affects the rights of any holder of Notes;
(7) impair the right of any holder of Notes to receive payment of principal of
and interest or any liquidated damages on such holder's Notes on or after
the due dates for such payment or to institute suit for the enforcement of
any payment on or with respect to such holder's Notes;
(8) make any change in the amendment provisions which require the consent of
each holder of the Notes or in the waiver provisions; or
-100-
<PAGE>
(9) modify the Subsidiary Guarantees in any manner adverse to the holders of
the Notes.
Without the consent of any holder of the Notes, we and the Trustee may amend
the Indenture to:
(1) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;
(2) provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of our obligations
under the Indenture;
(3) provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to, or in place of,
certificated Notes (provided that the uncertificated Notes are issued in
registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a
manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section
163(f)(2)(B) of the Code);
(4) make any change in the subordination provisions of the Indenture that
would limit or terminate the benefits available to any holder of our
Senior Indebtedness or any representative of such holder under such
subordination provisions;
(5) add additional guarantees with respect to the Notes;
(6) secure the Notes;
(7) add to our covenants for the benefit of the Noteholders;
(8) surrender any right or power conferred upon us;
(9) make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder
of the Notes;
(10) provide for the issuance of the Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes,
subject to the provisions of the Indenture; or
(11) comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the
qualification of the Indenture under the TIA.
No amendment may be made to the subordination provisions of the Indenture,
however, that adversely affects the rights of any holder of our Senior
Indebtedness then outstanding unless the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, or
any group or representative of such holders authorized to give a consent,
consent to such change.
The consent of the Noteholders will not be necessary under the Indenture to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It will be sufficient if
such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.
After an amendment under the Indenture becomes effective, we will be required
to mail to Noteholders a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the
failure to give such notice to all Noteholders, or any defect in such notice,
will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.
Transfer and Exchange
A Noteholder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture.
Upon any transfer or exchange, the registrar and the Trustee may require a
Noteholder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer
documents, and we may require a Noteholder to pay any taxes required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. We will not be required to transfer or exchange any
Note selected for redemption or to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of
15 days prior to a selection of Notes to be redeemed. The Notes will be issued
in registered form, and the registered holder of a Note will be treated as the
owner of such Note for all purposes.
Defeasance
We at any time may terminate all our obligations under the Indenture and the
Notes ("legal defeasance"), except for certain obligations, including
obligations:
. relating to the defeasance trust;
. to register the transfer or exchange of the Notes;
. to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes; and
-101-
<PAGE>
. to maintain a registrar and paying agent in respect of the Notes.
We at any time may terminate our obligations under:
. the covenants described under "--Certain Covenants;"
. the operation of the cross acceleration provision, the bankruptcy
provisions with respect to Significant Subsidiaries and the judgment
default provision described under "--Defaults;"
. clauses (3), (4) and (5) set forth in the first paragraph under "--
Merger, Consolidation and Certain Sales of Assets" ("covenant
defeasance").
In the event that we exercise our legal defeasance option or our covenant
defeasance option, each of our subsidiary guarantors will be released from all
of its obligations with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee.
We may exercise our legal defeasance option in spite of our prior exercise of
our covenant defeasance option. If we exercise our legal defeasance option,
payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with
respect to our exercise of our legal defeasance option. If we exercise our
covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because
of an Event of Default specified in clause (4), (6), (7) with respect only to
Significant Subsidiaries, (8) with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries or
(9) under "--Defaults" or because of our failure to comply with clause (3), (4)
and (5) set forth in the first paragraph under "--Merger, Consolidation and
Certain Sales of Assets."
In order to exercise either defeasance option, we must irrevocably deposit in
trust (the "defeasance trust") with the Trustee money or U.S. Government
Obligations for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the
Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be, and must comply with
certain other conditions, including delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain
or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and
defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts and in
the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
deposit and defeasance had not occurred and, in the case of legal defeasance
only, such Opinion of Counsel must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue
Service or other change in applicable federal income tax law.

Trust Company has been appointed by the Company as Registrar and Paying Agent
with regard to the Notes.

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income and
estate tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, disposition and exchange
of the Notes. Unless otherwise stated, this discussion is limited to the tax
consequences to those persons who are initial purchasers of the Notes and who
hold such Notes as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (for purposes of this
section, the "Holders"). The discussion does not purport to address specific tax
consequences that may be relevant to particular persons, including, for example,
financial institutions, broker-dealers, insurance companies, tax-exempt
organizations, and persons in special situations, such as those who hold the
Notes as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction, or other integrated
investment. In addition, this discussion does not address U.S. federal
alternative minimum tax consequences or any aspect of state, local or foreign
taxation. This discussion is based upon the Code, the Treasury regulations
promulgated under, and administrative and judicial interpretations of such Code
and regulations, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive
basis.
We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the Internal Revenue
Service (the "Service") with respect to the Notes. There can be no assurance
that the Service will not take a different position concerning the tax
consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Notes or that a
court would not sustain the Service's position.
For purposes of this discussion, a "U.S. Holder" means a Holder that, for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, is (1) a U.S. citizen or resident, (2) a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the
laws of the United States or any political subdivision, (3) an estate the income
of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or
(4) a trust if (A) a U.S. court exercises primary jurisdiction over its
administration and (B) one or more "United States persons" (as defined under
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) has the authority to control all substantial
decisions. A "Non-U.S. Holder" is any Holder other than a U.S. Holder.
PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF THE NOTES ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS
CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF ACQUIRING,
OWNING, DISPOSING AND EXCHANGING OF THE NOTES, AS WELL AS THE APPLICATION OF
STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX LAWS AND OF ANY CHANGE IN FEDERAL
TAX LAW OR ADMINISTRATIVE OR JUDICIAL INTERPRETATION OF SUCH LAW SINCE THE DATE
OF THIS PROSPECTUS.
Exchange Offer
The exchange of Exchange Notes for the Old Notes in the Exchange Offer
should not be treated as an "exchange" for federal income tax purposes because
the Exchange Notes will not be considered to differ materially in kind or extent
from the Old Notes. As a result, there should be no federal income tax
consequences to holders of the Old Notes exchanging the Old Notes for the
Exchanges Notes in the Exchange Offer. No gain or loss should be realized by a
holder upon receipt of an Exchange Note. The basis of the Exchange Notes would
be the same as the adjusted basis of the Notes immediately before the exchange
and the holding period of the Exchange Notes would include the holding period of
the Notes. The Exchange Notes would be subject to the tax rules applicable to
the Notes as described above, including with respect to the accrual and
inclusion in income of OID. It is possible that the Service could take a
different position concerning the exchange of Notes for Exchange Notes in the
event of a Registration Default that results in the payment of liquidated
damages with respect to the Notes. Holders are urged to consult their own tax
advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Exchange Offer.
Characterization of the Notes
We will treat the Notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, and the following discussion assumes that such treatment will be
respected. Accordingly, under Section 385(c) of the Code, a Holder also will
generally be required to treat the Notes as indebtedness. A Holder taking an
inconsistent position must expressly disclose such fact in the Holder's return.
Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders
Original Issue Discount. The Notes will be treated as issued with original
issue discount ("OID"). All U.S. Holders, regardless of their method of
accounting for tax purposes, will be required to include OID in income as it
accrues. Therefore, inclusion of the OID in gross income will occur in advance
of the receipt of some or all of the related cash payments (whether labeled as
interest or otherwise). OID will generally be treated as interest income to a
U.S. Holder and will accrue on a constant yield-to-maturity basis over the life
of the Notes, as discussed below.
-117-
<PAGE>
The amount of OID with respect to a Note will be equal to the excess of the
"stated redemption price at maturity" of such Note over its "issue price." The
"stated redemption price at maturity" of a debt instrument generally includes
all cash payments, including principal and interest, required to be made with
respect to the debt instrument through its maturity, other than "qualified
stated interest." "Qualified stated interest" is generally defined as stated
interest that is unconditionally payable in cash or other property, other than
debt instruments of the issuer, at least annually and at a single fixed rate
that appropriately takes into account the lengths of intervals between payments.
The stated interest on the Notes will not qualify as "qualified stated
interest," and thus the "stated redemption price at maturity" of a Note will
include all cash payments of principal and interest through maturity. The "issue
price" of the Notes will be the first price at which a substantial portion are
sold to investors, excluding bond houses, brokers, or similar persons acting as
underwriters, placement agents, or wholesalers, for cash.
Taxation of Original Issue Discount. The amount of OID accruing to and
includible in income by a U.S. Holder of a Note will be the sum of the "daily
portions" of OID with respect to such Note for each day during the taxable year
or portion of such taxable year on which such Holder owns such Note ("accrued
OID"). The daily portion is determined by allocating to each day in any "accrual
period" a pro rata portion of the OID allocable to that accrual period. The
accrual periods are periods of any length and may vary in length over the term
of a Note, provided that each accrual period is no longer than one year and each
scheduled payment of principal or interest occurs either on the final day or on
the first day of an accrual period. The amount of OID accruing during any
accrual period with respect to a Note will be equal to the product of (x) the
"adjusted issue price" of such Note at the beginning of that accrual period and
(y) the yield to maturity of such Note, taking into account the length of the
accrual period. The "adjusted issue price" of a Note at the beginning of its
first accrual period will be equal to its issue price. The "adjusted issue
price" at the beginning of any subsequent accrual period will be equal to (1)
the adjusted issue price at the beginning of the prior accrual period, plus (2)
the amount of OID accrued during the prior accrual period, minus (3) any
payments made on the Note during the prior accrual period. The "yield to
maturity" of a Note is the discount rate that, when used in computing the
present value of all principal and interest payments to be made on the Note,
produces an amount equal to the issue price of the Note.
OID allocable to a final accrual period is the difference between the
amount payable at maturity and the adjusted issue price at the beginning of the
final accrual period. If all accrual periods are of equal length, except for an
initial short accrual period, the amount of OID allocable to the initial short
accrual period may be computed under any reasonable method.
We are required to report the amount of OID accrued on the Notes held of
record by persons other than corporations and certain other Holders. See "--
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding." Because stated interest on the
Notes is taken into account in the accrual of OID, a U.S. Holder will not be
required to recognize any income upon receipt of interest payments on the Notes.
The tax basis of a Note in the hands of a U.S. Holder will be increased by the
amount of OID, if any, on the Note that is included in the U.S. Holder's income
under these rules and will be decreased by the amount of any payments, whether
stated as interest or principal, made with respect to the Note.
Acquisition Premium. A subsequent U.S. Holder of a Note is generally
subject to the rules for accruing OID described above. However, if such U.S.
Holder's purchase price for the Note exceeds the adjusted issue price but is
less than or equal to the sum of all amounts payable on the Note after the
purchase date, the excess ("acquisition premium") is subject to special rules.
Acquisition premium ratably offsets the amount of accrued OID otherwise
includible in such U.S. Holder's taxable income, i.e., such U.S. Holder may
reduce the daily portions of OID by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
excess of such U.S. Holder's purchase price for the Note over the adjusted issue
price, and the denominator of which is the excess of the sum of all amounts
payable on the Note after the purchase date over the Note's adjusted issue
price. As an alternative to reducing the amount of OID otherwise includible in
income by this fraction, the U.S. Holder may elect to compute OID accruals by
treating the purchase as a purchase at original issuance and applying the
constant yield method described above under "Taxation of Original Issue
Discount."
Market Discount. Under the market discount rules of the Code, a U.S.
Holder who purchases a Note at a "market discount" will generally be required to
treat any gain recognized on the disposition of the Note as ordinary income to
the extent of the lesser of such gain or the portion of the market discount that
accrued during the period that the U.S. Holder held such Note. Market discount
is generally defined as the amount by which a U.S. Holder's purchase price for a
Note is less than the revised issue price of the Note on the date of purchase,
subject to a statutory de minimis exception. A Note's revised issue price equals
the sum of the issue price of the Note and the aggregate amount of the OID
includible in the gross income of all Holders of such Note for periods before
the acquisition of the Note by such Holder, likely reduced, although the Code
does not expressly so provide, by any cash payment in respect of the Note. A
U.S. Holder who acquires a Note at a market discount may be required to defer a
portion of any interest expense that otherwise may be deductible on any
indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry such Note until the U.S.
Holder disposes of the Note in a taxable transaction.
-118-
<PAGE>
A U.S. Holder who has elected under applicable Code provisions to include
market discount in income annually as such discount accrues will not, however,
be required to treat any gain recognized as ordinary income or to defer any
deductions for interest expense under these rules. A U.S. Holder's tax basis in
a Note is increased by each accrual of amounts treated as market discount. This
election to include market discount in income currently, once made, applies to
all market discount obligations acquired on or after the first day of the
taxable year to which the election applies and may not be revoked without the
consent of the Service. Holders should consult their tax advisors as to the
portion of any gain that would be taxable as ordinary income under these
provisions and any other consequences of the market discount rules that may
apply to them in particular.
Election to Treat All Interest as Original Issue Discount. U.S. Holders may
elect to include in gross income all amounts in the nature of interest that
accrue on a Note, including any stated interest, acquisition discount, OID,
market discount, de minimis OID, de minimis market discount and unstated
interest, as adjusted by amortizable bond premium and acquisition premium, by
using the constant yield method described above under "Taxation of Original
Issue Discount." Such an election for a Note with amortizable bond premium
results in a deemed election to amortize bond premium for all debt instruments
owned and later acquired by the U.S. Holder with amortizable bond premium and
may be revoked only with the permission of the Service. Similarly, such an
election for a Note with market discount results in a deemed election to accrue
market discount in income currently for such Note and for all other bonds
acquired by the U.S. Holder with market discount on or after the first day of
the taxable year to which such election first applies, and may be revoked only
with permission of the Service. A U.S. Holder's tax basis in a Note is increased
by each accrual of the amounts treated as OID under the constant yield election
described in this paragraph.
Change of Control. In the event of a change of control, the Holders will
have the right to require us to purchase their Notes. The Treasury regulations
provide that the right of Holders of the Notes to require redemption of the
Notes upon the occurrence of a change of control will not affect the yield or
maturity date of the Notes unless, based on all the facts and circumstances as
of the issue date, it is more likely than not that a change of control giving
rise to the redemption right will occur. We do not intend to treat this
redemption provision of the Notes as affecting the computation of the yield to
maturity of the Notes.
Redemption of Notes. We may redeem the Notes at any time on or after a
certain date, and, in certain circumstances, may redeem or repurchase all or a
portion of the Notes any time prior to the maturity date. Under Treasury
regulations, we are deemed to exercise any option to redeem if the exercise of
such option would lower the yield of the debt instrument. We believe, and intend
to take the position, that we will not be treated as having exercised an option
to redeem under these rules.
Sale, Redemption, Exchange or Retirement of the Notes. Upon the sale,
redemption, exchange or retirement of the Notes, a U.S. Holder will recognize
gain or loss equal to the difference between (1) the amount of cash and the fair
market value of property received upon the sale, redemption, exchange or
retirement and (2) the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the Notes. A U.S.
Holder's adjusted tax basis in the Notes will generally be the U.S. Holder's
cost therefor increased by the amount of OID previously accrued on the Notes
through the sale, redemption, exchange or retirement date and decreased by the
amount of all prior cash payments received with respect to the Notes.
Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on the sale, redemption, exchange,
or retirement of the Notes will be capital gain or loss, except to the extent it
constitutes accrued but unrecognized market discount, and will be long-term
capital gain or loss if the Notes have been held by the U.S. Holder for more
than one year.
U.S. Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders
For purposes of the following discussion, interest income, OID and gain on
the sale, redemption, exchange or retirement of a Note will be U.S. trade or
business income if such income or gain is effectively connected with a trade or
business carried on by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States.
Interest and OID. In general, any interest or OID paid to a Non-U.S.
Holder of a Note will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if (1) the
interest or OID is not U.S. trade or business income, and (2) as discussed
below, the interest or OID qualifies as "portfolio interest."
Interest or OID on the Notes generally will qualify as "portfolio interest"
if (1) the Non-U.S. Holder does not actually or constructively own 10% or more
of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote,
(2) the Non-U.S. Holder is not a controlled foreign corporation (as defined in
the Code) with respect to which we are a "related person" within the meaning of
the Code, and (3) either (A) the Non-U.S. Holder certifies to us or our agent
under penalties of perjury that it is not a U.S. person and such certificate
provides such Non-U.S. Holder's name and address, or (B) in the case of a Note
held by a securities clearing organization, bank, or other financial institution
that holds customers' securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business
(a "financial institution"), the financial institution certifies to us or our
agent under penalties of perjury that such
-119-
<PAGE>
certificate has been received from the Non-U.S. Holder by it or by another
financial institution and the financial institution furnishes the payor with a
copy of the Non-U.S. Holder's certificate. Under recently finalized Treasury
Regulations (the "Final Regulations"), the certification requirements described
above may also be satisfied with other documentary evidence for interest paid
after December 31, 1999, with respect to an offshore account or through certain
foreign intermediaries.
If the interest or OID neither qualifies as portfolio interest nor is
treated as U.S. trade or business income, the gross amount of the payment
generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% unless such
rate is reduced or eliminated by an applicable income tax treaty. U.S. trade or
business income generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular
rates in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. Holder, and, in
the case of a Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation, such income, under certain
circumstances, may be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" at a 30%
rate or such lower rate as may be applicable under an income tax treaty, but
such income generally will not be subject to the 30% withholding tax. To claim
the benefit of a lower or zero withholding rate under an income tax treaty or to
claim exemption from withholding because the income is U.S. trade or business
income, the Non-U.S. Holder must provide the payor with a properly executed IRS
Form 1001 or 4224, respectively or, in the case of payments after December 31,
1999, IRS Form W-8, prior to the payment of interest or OID.
Sale, Exchange, Redemption, or Other Disposition of a Note. Any gain
realized by a Non-U.S. Holder on the sale, redemption, exchange or other
disposition of a Note generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or
withholding taxes unless (1) such gain is effectively connected with the conduct
of a trade or business in the United States by the Non-U.S. Holder or (2) in the
case of an individual, such Non-U.S. Holder is present in the United States for
183 days or more and certain other conditions are met.
U.S. Federal Estate Tax. In general, notes held by an individual who is
neither a citizen nor a resident of the United States for U.S. federal estate
tax purposes at the time of such individual's death will not be subject to U.S.
federal estate tax unless the income from such Notes was effectively connected
with a U.S. trade or business of such individual or would not qualify as
portfolio interest (as described above under "Tax Consequences to Non-U.S.
Holders--Interest and OID"), without regard to the certification requirements,
if received by such individual at the time of his or her death.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
We will be required to report annually to the IRS, and to each Holder of
record, the amount of OID paid on the Notes, and the amount withheld for federal
income taxes, if any, for each calendar year, except as to exempt Holders,
generally, corporations, tax-exempt organizations, qualified pension and profit-
sharing trusts, individual retirement accounts, or nonresident aliens who
provide certification as to their status. Each Holder, other than Holders who
are not subject to the reporting requirements, will be required to provide to
us, under penalties of perjury, a certificate containing the Holder's name,
address, correct federal taxpayer identification number and a statement that the
Holder is not subject to backup withholding. Should a nonexempt Holder fail to
provide the required certificate, we will be required to withhold 31% of the OID
otherwise payable to the Holder and to remit the withheld amount to the Service
as a credit against the Holder's federal income tax liability.
In the case of payments of OID to Non-U.S. Holders, temporary Treasury
regulations provide that the 31% backup withholding tax and certain information
reporting will not apply to such payments with respect to which the requisite
certification, as described above, for the exemption from the 30% withholding
tax, has been received or an exemption has otherwise been established; provided
that neither we nor our payment agent have actual knowledge that the Holder is a
U.S. person or that the conditions of any other exemption are not in fact
satisfied. Under temporary Treasury regulations, these information reporting and
backup withholding requirements will apply, however, to the gross proceeds paid
to a Non-U.S. Holder on the disposition of Notes by or through a U.S. office of
a U.S. or foreign broker, unless the Holder certifies to the broker under
penalties of perjury as to its name, address and status as a foreign person or
the Holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Information reporting
requirements will also apply to a payment of the proceeds of a disposition of
Notes by or through a foreign office of a U.S. broker or foreign brokers with
certain types of relationships to the United States unless such broker has
documentary evidence in its file that the Holder is not a U.S. person, and such
broker has no actual knowledge to the contrary, or the Holder establishes an
exception; backup withholding will not apply to such payment, absent actual
knowledge that the Holder is a U.S. Holder. Neither information reporting nor
backup withholding generally will apply to a payment of the proceeds of a
disposition of Notes by or through a foreign office of a foreign broker not
subject to the previous sentence.
The Treasury Department recently promulgated final regulations regarding
the withholding and information reporting rules relating to Non-U.S. Holders
discussed above. In general, the final regulations do not significantly alter
the substantive withholding and information reporting requirements but rather
unify current certification procedures and forms and clarify reliance standards.
The final regulations are generally effective for payments made after December
31, 1999, subject to certain transition rules. Non-U.S. Holders should consult
their own tax advisors with respect to the impact, if any, of the new final
regulations.

Applicable High Yield Discount Obligations
Section 163 of the Code provides that the yield with respect to certain
"applicable high yield discount obligations" will be bifurcated into two
elements: (1) an interest element that is deductible by the issuer only when
paid (generally in cash) and (2) a disqualified portion, if any, as described
below, for which the issuer receives no deduction (the "disqualified portion").
A U.S. Holder of an applicable high yield discount obligation must continue to
include interest or OID on the obligation in income as it accrues. A corporate
U.S. Holder of such obligation, however, is allowed to claim a dividends-
received deduction for the part of the disqualified portion, if any, as
described below, that would have been treated as a dividend had it been
distributed to such Holder by the issuing corporation with respect to its stock.
The deduction by us of OID on the Notes will be limited if the Notes
constitute applicable high yield discount obligations. A Note will be an
applicable high yield discount obligation if (1) its yield to maturity equals or
exceeds the sum of (x) the long-term applicable federal rate for the month in
which it was issued and (y) 5% and (2) the Note has significant OID. A Note will
have significant OID if (1) the aggregate amount that would be included in gross
income with respect to the Note for periods before the close of any accrual
period that ends more than five years after the date of issue exceeds (2) the
sum of (x) the aggregate amount of interest to be paid, generally in cash, under
the Note before the close of such accrual period and (y) the product of the
Note's issue price and its yield to maturity. If the Notes are applicable high
yield discount obligations, the disqualified portion of OID will equal the
lesser of (x) the amount of the OID on the Note and (y) the product of the total
OID on the Notes and a fraction, the numerator of which is (a) the yield to
maturity minus (b) the sum of 6% and the long-term applicable federal rate in
effect for the month in which the Notes are issued, and the denominator of which
is the yield to maturity.
Corporate U.S. Holders generally will be eligible for the dividends-
received deduction with respect to any disqualified portion of OID on a Note to
the extent of our accumulated or current earnings and profits, if any. The
availability of the dividends-received deduction is subject to a number of
complex limitations. Although the issue is not totally clear, any amount
qualifying as a dividend should not be subject to extraordinary dividend
treatment under Section 1059 of the Code. Corporate U.S. Holders should consult
their tax advisors concerning the availability of the dividends-received
deduction.

BOOK-ENTRY; DELIVERY AND FORM
The Exchange Notes are represented by a permanent global certificate in
definitive, fully registered form (the "Global Note"). The Global Note is
registered in the name of a nominee of DTC.
Certain Book-Entry Procedures for the Global Notes
The descriptions of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Cedel
set forth below are provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations
and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement
systems, and are subject to change by them from time to time. Neither we nor any
of the initial purchasers of the Old Notes takes any responsibility for these
operations or procedures, and investors are urged to contact the relevant system
or its participants directly to discuss these matters.
DTC has advised us that it is (1) a limited purpose trust company organized
under the laws of the State of New York, (2) a "banking organization" within the
meaning of the New York Banking Law, (3) a member of the Federal Reserve System,
(4) a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code,
as amended, and (5) a "clearing agency" registered under Section 17A of the
Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participants
(collectively, the "Participants") and facilitates the clearance and settlement
of securities transactions between Participants through electronic book-entry
changes to the accounts of its Participants, thereby eliminating the need for
physical transfer and delivery of certificates. DTC's Participants include
securities brokers and dealers, including the initial purchasers, banks and
trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Indirect
access to DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks,
brokers, dealers and trust companies (collectively, the "Indirect Participants")
that clear through, or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant,
either directly or indirectly. Investors who are not Participants may
beneficially own securities held by, or on behalf of DTC only through
Participants or Indirect Participants.
We expect that under procedures established by DTC, (1) upon deposit of each
Global Note, DTC will credit the accounts of Participants designated by the
initial purchasers of the Old Notes with an interest in the Global Note and (2)
ownership of the Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership of the
Notes will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC, with respect to
the interests of Participants and the records of Participants and the Indirect
Participants (with respect to the interests of persons other than Participants).
The laws of some jurisdictions may require that certain purchasers of
securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form.
Accordingly, the ability to transfer interests in the Notes represented by a
Global Note to such persons may be limited. In addition, because DTC can act
only on behalf of its Participants, who in turn act on behalf of persons who
hold interests through Participants, the ability of a person having an interest
in the Notes represented by a Global Note to pledge or transfer such interest to
persons or entities that do not participate in DTC's system, or to otherwise
take actions in respect of such interest, may be affected by the lack of a
physical definitive security in respect of such interest.
So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of a Global Note, DTC or
such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of
the Notes represented by the Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture.
Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note will
not be entitled to have the Notes represented by such Global Note registered in
their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of
Certificated Notes and will not be considered the owners or holders under the
Indenture for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any
direction, instruction or approval to the Trustee. Accordingly, each holder
owning a beneficial interest in a Global Note must rely on the procedures of DTC
and, if such holder is not a Participant or an Indirect Participant, on the
procedures of the Participant through which such holder owns its interest, to
exercise any rights of a holder of the Notes under the Indenture or such Global
Note. We understand that, under existing industry practice, if we request any
action of holders of the Notes, or a holder that is an owner of a beneficial
interest in a Global Note desires to take any action that DTC, as the holder of
such Global Note, is entitled to take, DTC would authorize the Participants to
take such action and the Participants would authorize holders owning through
such Participants to take such action or would otherwise act upon the
instruction of such holders. Neither we nor the Trustee will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or
payments made on account of, the Notes by DTC, or for maintaining, supervising
or reviewing any records of DTC relating to such Notes.
Payments with respect to the principal and interest, and premium, if any, and
liquidated damages, if any, on any Notes represented by a Global Note registered
in the name of DTC or its nominee on the applicable record date will be payable
by the Trustee to, or at the direction of, DTC or its nominee in its capacity as
the registered holder of the Global Note representing such Notes under the
Indenture. Under the terms of the Indenture, we and the Trustee will be
permitted to treat the persons in whose names the Notes, including the Global
Notes, are registered as the owners of such Notes for the purpose of receiving
payment thereon and for any and all other purposes whatsoever. Accordingly,
neither we nor the Trustee have or will have any
-122-
<PAGE>
responsibility or liability for the payment of such amounts to owners of
beneficial interests in a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any,
liquidated damages, if any, and interest). Payments by the Participants and the
Indirect Participants to the owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note
will be governed by standing instructions and customary industry practice, and
will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and
DTC.
Transfers between Participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with
DTC's procedures and will be settled in same-day funds. Transfers between
participants in Euroclear or Cedel will be effected in the ordinary way in
accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.
Subject to compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Notes,
cross-market transfers between the Participants in DTC, on the one hand, and
Euroclear or Cedel participants on the other hand, will be effected through DTC
in accordance with DTC's rules on behalf of Euroclear or Cedel, as the case may
be; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of
instructions to Euroclear or Cedel, as the case may be, by the counterparty in
such system in accordance with the rules and procedures, and within the
established deadlines (Brussels time), of such system. Euroclear or Cedel, as
the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements,
deliver instructions to its depositary to take action to effect final settlement
on its behalf, by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant Global Notes
in DTC and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for
same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Cedel
participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositaries for
Euroclear or Cedel.
Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or
Cedel participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a Participant in
DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant
Euroclear or Cedel participant, during the securities settlement processing day,
which must be a business day for Euroclear or Cedel, as the case may be,
immediately following the settlement date of DTC. Cash received by Euroclear or
Cedel as a result of sales of interests in a Global Note by or through a
Euroclear or Cedel participant to a Participant in DTC will be received with
value on the settlement date of DTC, but will be available in the relevant
Euroclear or Cedel cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or
Cedel, as the case may be, following DTC's settlement date.
Although DTC, Euroclear and Cedel have agreed to the foregoing procedures to
facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among participants in DTC,
Euroclear and Cedel, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to
perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time.
Neither we nor the Trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by
DTC, Euroclear or Cedel, or their respective participants or indirect
participants, of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures
governing their operations.
Certificated Notes
If (1) we notify the Trustee in writing that DTC is no longer willing or able
to act as a depositary, or DTC ceases to be registered as a clearing agency
under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90
days of such notice or cessation, (2) we, at our option, notify the Trustee in
writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Notes in definitive form
under the Indenture, or (3) upon the occurrence of certain other events as
provided in the Indenture, then, upon surrender by DTC of the Global Notes,
Certificated Notes will be issued to each person that DTC identifies as the
beneficial owner of the Notes represented by the Global Notes. Upon any such
issuance, the Trustee is required to register such Certificated Notes in the
name of such person or persons, or the nominee of any such person, and cause the
same to be delivered to such person.
Neither we nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay by DTC or any
Participant or Indirect Participant in identifying the beneficial owners of the
related Notes, and each such person may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, instructions from DTC for all purposes, including with
respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts,
of the Notes to be issued.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account in the
Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection
with any resale of such Exchange Notes. A broker-dealer may use this
prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, in
connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Old Notes
where such broker-dealer acquired such Old Notes as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities. For a period of 180 days after the
Expiration Date, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented,
available to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the Letter of
Transmittal, for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until
, 1999 (90 days after the date of this prospectus), all dealers effecting
transactions in the Exchange Notes may be required to deliver a prospectus.
Each holder of Old Notes participating in the Exchange Offer will, by
execution of the Letter of Transmittal, represent to us that such holder is not
engaged in nor intends to engage in a distribution of Exchange Notes.
We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Notes by broker-
dealers. Exchange Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account in the
Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the
over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of
options on the Exchange Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at
market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such
prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made
directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive
compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-
dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange Notes. Any broker-dealer that
resells Exchange Notes that were received by it for its own account in the
Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of
such Exchange Notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of
the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of Exchange Notes and any
commission or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be
underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal
states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a
prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an
"underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.
For a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date we will promptly send
additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this
prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the Letter of
Transmittal. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the Exchange Offer
(including the expenses of one counsel for the holders of the Notes) other than
commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the
holders of the Notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The Exchange Notes are new securities with no established trading market. We
do not intend to list the Exchange Notes on any securities exchange, but the Old
Notes have been designated for trading in the PORTAL market. We cannot assure
you that a liquid market will develop for the Exchange Notes, that you will be
able to sell your Exchange Notes at a particular time or that the prices that
you receive when you sell will be favorable. Future trading prices of the
Exchange Notes will depend on many factors, including our operating performance
and financial condition, prevailing interest rates and the market for similar
securities.
LEGAL MATTERS
Certain legal matters with regard to the validity of the Notes will be passed
upon for us by McDermott, Will & Emery, New York, New York. Mr. Sullivan, our
Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and a member of our Board is
counsel to McDermott, Will & Emery. Mr. Sullivan owns certain shares of our
capital stock.

communications, cellular telephone and ESMR networks,
are licensed and operated. Blocks are categorized as A-
, B- C-, D-, E- or F- Blocks. A- and B- Blocks are each
PCS 30 MHz licenses covering an MTA. C- Block is a PCS
30 MHz license covering a BTA. D-, E- and F- Block are
each PCS 10 MHz licenses covering a BTA.
BTA..................... One of the 493 basic trading areas, which are smaller

has been divided based on the geographic divisions in
the 1992 Rand McNally Commercial Atlas & Marketing
Guide, as modified by the FCC.
CALLER ID............... Caller identification. A service to telephone customers
that allows each such customer to know the identity of
incoming callers.
CDMA.................... Code division multiple access. A digital spread-
spectrum wireless technology which allows a large
number of users to access a single frequency band that

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
TeleCorp PCS Inc. and Subsidiaries and Predecessor Company:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit)
and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of TeleCorp PCS Inc. and Subsidiaries and Predecessor Company (the Company) at
December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the consolidated results of their operations and
their cash flows for the period July 29, 1996 (date of inception) to December
31, 1996, and for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_____________
1. Organization
TeleCorp Holding Corp., Inc. (Holding) was incorporated in the State of
Delaware on July 29, 1996 (date of inception). Holding was formed to
participate in the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Auction of F-
Block Personal Communications Services (PCS) licenses (the Auction) in
April 1997. Holding successfully obtained licenses in the New Orleans,
Memphis, Beaumont, Little Rock, Houston, Tampa, Melbourne and Orlando Basic
Trading Areas (BTAs). Holding qualifies as a Designated Entity and Very
Small Business under Part 24 of the rules of the FCC applicable to
broadband PCS.
In April 1997, Holding entered into an agreement to transfer the PCS
licenses for the Houston, Tampa, Melbourne and Orlando BTAs to four newly-
formed entities created by Holding's existing stockholder group: THC of
Houston, Inc.; THC of Tampa, Inc.; THC of Melbourne, Inc.; and THC of
Orlando, Inc. These licenses were transferred along with the related
operating assets and liabilities in exchange for investment units
consisting of Class A, B and C common stock and Series A preferred stock in
August 1997. Concurrently, Holding distributed the investment units, on a
pro rata basis, in a partial stock redemption to Holding's existing
stockholder group. As a result of this distribution, Holding no longer
retains any ownership equity interest in the newly-formed entities. Because
the above transaction was non-monetary in nature and occurred between
entities of the same stockholder group, the transaction was accounted for
at historical cost.
TeleCorp PCS, Inc. (TeleCorp) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on
November 14, 1997 by the controlling stockholders of Holding. TeleCorp will
be the exclusive provider of wireless mobility services in its licensed
regions in connection with a strategic alliance with AT&T Corporation and
its affiliates (collectively AT&T) (see Note 6). Upon finalization of the
AT&T Transaction, Holding became a wholly-owned subsidiary of TeleCorp.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
Holding was formed to explore various business opportunities in the
wireless telecommunications industry. TeleCorp was formed to continue the
activity of Holding through its strategic alliance with AT&T. Since
inception, Holding's and TeleCorp's activities have consisted principally
of hiring a management team, raising capital, negotiating strategic
business relationships and participating in the Auction. Consequently, for
purposes of the accompanying financial statements, Holding has been treated
as a "predecessor" entity. The Chief Executive Officer and President of
Holding maintain the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Executive
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, of TeleCorp. In
addition, these officers own a majority of the voting stock of TeleCorp
and, prior to the finalization of the AT&T Transaction, owned a majority of
the voting stock of Holding. As a result of this relationship, certain
financing relationships and the similar nature of business activities,
Holding and TeleCorp are considered companies under common control.
Therefore, the accompanying financial statements incorporate the combined
business activities of Holding and TeleCorp. Collectively, TeleCorp and
Holding are referred to as the Company in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
______________
Historical and pro forma loss per share, basic and diluted, have not been
presented.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1999, and the
unaudited consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders'
equity (deficit) and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1998
and 1999, and related footnotes have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months
ended March 31, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.
Unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet
The unaudited pro forma balance sheet gives effect to certain license
acquisitions and the issuance of high yield debt described in Note 15,
which includes the Digital PCS, Viper Wireless, AT&T-Puerto Rico and
Wireless 2000 transactions and the receipt of gross proceeds of
$327,635,000 from the sale of $575,000,000 of Senior Subordinated Discount
Notes due 2009 (the Notes) on April 23, 1999 as if they had occurred on
March 31, 1999.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, the Company has consolidated the results of Viper Wireless,
Inc. (see Note 15).
Development Stage Company
Prior to January 1, 1999, the Company's activities principally have been
planning and participation in the Auction, initiating research and
development, conducting market research, securing capital and developing
its proposed service and network. Since the Auction, the Company has been
relying on the borrowing of funds and the issuance of common and preferred
stock rather than recurring revenues, for its primary sources of cash flow.
Accordingly, the Company's financial statements for all periods prior to
January 1, 1999 were presented as a development stage enterprise, as
prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7,
"Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises." In the first
quarter of 1999, the Company commenced operations in the New Orleans,
Memphis and Little Rock BTA's and began providing wireless mobility
services for its customers. As a result, the Company exited the development
stage in the first quarter ended March 31, 1999.
The Company incurred cumulative losses through December 31, 1998 of
approximately $55,000,000. The Company expects to continue to incur
significant operating losses and to generate negative cash flow from
operating activities for at least the next several years while it
constructs its network and develops its customer base. The Company's
ability to eliminate operating losses and to generate positive cash flow
from operations in the future will depend upon a variety of factors, many
of which it is unable to control. These factors
Continued
F-9
<PAGE>
TELECORP PCS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES AND PREDECESSOR COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
_____________
include: (1) the cost of constructing its network, (2) changes in
technology, (3) changes in governmental regulations, (4) the level of
demand for wireless communications services, (5) the product offerings,
pricing strategies and other competitive factors of the Company's
competitors and (6) general economic conditions. If the Company is unable
to implement its business plan successfully, it may not be able to
eliminate operating losses, generate positive cash flow or achieve or
sustain profitability which would materially adversely affect its business,
operations and financial results as well as its ability to make payments on
its debt obligations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company believes that the carrying amount of its financial instruments
approximate fair value.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash
equivalents. The Company has invested its excess cash in overnight sweep
accounts and U.S. Treasury obligations. The Company has not experienced any
losses on its cash and cash equivalents.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity from
purchase date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents consist of overnight sweep accounts and U.S. Treasury
obligations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company earns revenue by providing wireless mobility services to both
its subscribers and subscribers of other wireless carriers traveling in the
Company's service area, as well as the sales of equipment and accessories.
Wireless mobility services revenue consists of monthly access fees, airtime
and long distance access revenue. Generally, access fees, airtime and long
distance charges are billed monthly and are recognized when service is
provided. Prepaid service revenue collected in advance, is recorded as
deferred revenue and recognized as service is provided. As of March 31,
1999, deferred revenue was insignificant.
Roaming revenue consist of the airtime and long distance charged to the
subscribers of other wireless carriers for use of the Company's network
while traveling in the Company's service area and are recognized when the
service is rendered.

Equipment revenue is recognized upon delivery of the equipment to the
customer and when future obligations are no longer significant.
PCS Licenses and Microwave Relocation Costs
PCS licenses include costs incurred, including capitalized interest related
to the U.S. Government financing, to acquire FCC licenses in the 1850-1990
MHz radio frequency band. Interest capitalization on the U.S. Government
financing began when the activities necessary to get the Company's network
ready for its intended use were initiated. The PCS licenses are issued
conditionally for ten years. Historically, the FCC has granted license
renewals providing the licensees have complied with applicable rules,
policies and the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. The Company
believes it has complied with and intends to continue to comply with these
rules and policies.
As a condition of each PCS license, the FCC requires each license-holder to
relocate existing microwave users (Incumbent) within the awarded spectrum
to microwave frequencies of equal capacity. Microwave relocation costs
include the actual and estimated costs incurred to relocate the Incumbent's
microwave links affecting the Company's licensed frequencies and are
presented in the financial statements at the estimated present value of the
project cost, net of discount of $908,531 as of December 31, 1998. The
microwave relocation costs were discounted using management's best estimate
of the prevailing market interest rate at the time the relocation costs
were incurred.
PCS licenses, microwave relocation costs and capitalized interest consist
of the following:

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Computer equipment 3 to 5 years
Network under development and
wireless network 5 to 10 years upon commencement
of service
Internal use software 3 years
Furniture, fixtures and office 5 years
equipment
Leasehold improvements Lesser of useful life or lease
term
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations when
incurred. Gains and losses from disposals, if any, are included in the
statements of operations. Network under development includes all costs
related to engineering, cell site acquisition, site development, interest
expense and other development costs being incurred to ready the Company's
network for use. Internal and external costs incurred to develop the
Company's billing, network and financial systems during the application
development stage are capitalized as internal use software. Training costs
and all post implementation internal and external costs are expensed as
incurred.
Intangible assets - AT&T Agreements
The AT&T Agreements consist of the fair value of various agreements with
AT&T (see Note 6) exchanged for mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and
Series F preferred stock. The AT&T Agreements are amortized on a straight-
line basis over the related contractual terms, which range from three to
ten years. Amortization on the AT&T Exclusivity Agreement, Long Distance
Agreement and the Intercarrier Roamer Services Agreement began once
wireless services were available to its customers. Amortization of the
Network Membership License Agreement began on July 17, 1998, the date of
the finalization of the AT&T Transaction. For the year ended December 31,
1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company recorded
amortization expense of $772,497 and $916,278 (unaudited), respectively.

_____________
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market and is recorded net of
an allowance for obsolescence. No allowance for obsolescence has been
recorded as of December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999.
Deferred Financing Costs
In connection with entering into a credit facility with a group of
commercial lenders (see Note 5), the Company incurred certain debt issuance
costs. The Company has capitalized financing costs of $9,109,677 and
$9,265,495 (unaudited), as of December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999,
respectively. The financing costs are being amortized using the straight
line method over the term of the credit facility. For the year ended
December 31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1999, the
Company recorded interest expense related to the amortization of the
deferred financing costs of $524,924 and $250,041 (unaudited),
respectively.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value
of property and equipment, network under development, wireless network,
intangible assets, PCS licenses and microwave relocation costs. The Company
considers historical performance and anticipated future results in its
evaluation of potential impairment. Accordingly, when indicators of
impairment are present, the Company evaluates the carrying value of these
assets in relation to the operating performance of the business and future
undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of these assets.
Impairment losses are recognized when the sum of the present value of
expected future cash flows are less than the assets' carrying value. No
such impairment losses have been recognized to date.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the liability
method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences in future
years for differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
their financial reporting amounts at each year-end, based on enacted laws
and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences
are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established, when necessary, to reduce net deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes consists of
the current tax provision and the change during the period in deferred tax
assets and liabilities.
Start-Up and Advertising Costs
Start-up costs are expensed as incurred. The Company expenses production
costs of print, radio and television advertisements and other advertising
costs as such costs are incurred. Advertising expenses in selling and
marketing for 1996, 1997, and 1998 were insignificant. Advertising expenses
in selling and marketing were $2,540,146 (unaudited) for the three months
ended March 31, 1999.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company uses interest swaps to hedge the effects of fluctuations in
interest rates from their Senior Credit Facility (see Note 5). These
transactions meet the requirements for hedge accounting, including
designation and correlation. The interest rate swaps are managed in
accordance with the Company's policies and procedures. The Company does not
enter into these transactions for trading purposes. The resulting gains or
Continued

______
losses, measured by quoted market prices, are accounted for as part of the
transactions being hedged, except that losses not expected to be recovered
upon the completion of hedged transactions are expensed. Gains or losses
associated with interest rate swaps are computed as the difference between
the interest expense per the amount hedged using the fixed rate compared to a
floating rate over the term of the swap agreement. As of December 31, 1998,
the Company has entered into six interest rate swap agreements with various
commercial lenders totaling a notional amount of $225,000,000 to convert the
Company's variable rate debt of LIBOR plus 3.25% to fixed rate debt. The
interest rate swaps had no material impact on the consolidated financial
statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998 and as of and for
the three months ended March 31, 1999.
Segment Reporting
The Company presently operates in a single business segment as a provider of
wireless mobility services in its licensed regions primarily in the south-
central and northeastern United States. The Company operates in various MTAs
including New Orleans, LA, Memphis, TN, Little Rock, AK, and Boston, MA.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 is effective for
all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The
Company has not determined the effect of adopting this standard.

Senior Credit Facility
In July 1998, the Company entered into a credit facility (the Senior Credit
Facility) with a group of commercial lenders, under which the Company may
borrow up to $525,000,000, in the aggregate, consisting of (i) up to
$150,000,000 in revolving loans (the Senior Revolving Credit Facility) with a
maturity date of January 2007, (ii) a $150,000,000 term loan (the Tranche A
Term Loan) with a maturity date of January 2007, and (iii) a $225,000,000
term loan (the Tranche B Term Loan) with a maturity date of January 2008. A
total of $225,000,000 of indebtedness from the Tranche B Term Loan was
outstanding as of December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999 (unaudited). The
Senior Credit Facility also provides for an uncommitted $75,000,000 senior
term loan (the Expansion Facility) with a maturity date of January 2008.
Beginning in September 2002, principal repayments will be made in 18
quarterly installments for the Tranche A Term Loan and 22 quarterly
installments for the Tranche B Term Loan. Quarterly principal repayments for
the Tranche A Term Loan are as follows: first six, $3,750,000; next four,
$9,375,000; last eight, $11,250,000. Quarterly principal repayments for the
Tranche B Term Loan are as follows: first 18, $562,500, last four,
$53,718,750. Interest payments on the senior credit facility are made
quarterly. The Senior Credit Facility contains a prepayment provision
whereby certain amounts borrowed must be repaid upon the occurrence of
certain specified events.
The commitment to make loans under the Tranche A Term loan will terminate in
July 2001, or earlier if elected by the Company. Beginning in April 2005,
the commitment to make loans under the Senior

Revolving Credit Facility will be permanently reduced on a quarterly basis
through April 2007 as follows: first four reductions, $12,500,000; last four
reductions $25,000,000. The unpaid principal on the Senior Revolving Credit
Facility is due January 2007. In July 2000, if the undrawn portion of the
Tranche A Term Loan exceeds $50,000,000 the amount of the Tranche A Term Loan
will be automatically reduced by such excess.
The interest rate applicable to the Senior Credit Facility is based on, at
the Company's option, (i) LIBOR (Eurodollar Loans) plus the Applicable
Margin, as defined, or (ii) the higher of the administrative agent's prime
rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate (ABR Loans), plus the Applicable
Margin, as defined. The Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans will range
from 125 to 325 basis points based upon certain events by the Company, as
specified. The Applicable Margin for ABR Loans will range from 25 to 225
basis points based upon certain events by the Company, as specified. At
December 31, 1998, the interest rate applicable to the Tranche B Term Loan
was 8.75% and interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1998 was
$9,210,187. For the three months ended March 31, 1999, interest expense on
the Tranche B Term Loan was $3,732,196 (unaudited).
The loans from the Senior Credit Facility are subject to an annual commitment
fee which ranges from 0.50% to 1.25% of the available portion of the Tranche
A Term Loan and the Senior Revolving Credit Facility. The Company has
expensed $3,305,905 for the year ended December 31, 1998 related to these
bank commitment fees. The Senior Credit Facility requires the Company to
purchase interest rate hedging contracts covering amounts equal to at least
50% of the total amount of the outstanding indebtedness of the Company. As
of December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999, the Company hedged 100% of its
outstanding indebtedness of $225,000,000 to take advantage of favorable
interest rate swaps.
Initially, borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are subject to a
maximum Senior Debt to Total Capital ratio, as defined, of 50%. This ratio
is increased to 55% if certain specified operating benchmarks are achieved.
In addition, the Company must comply with certain financial and operating
covenants. The financial covenants include various debt to equity, debt to
EBITDA, interest coverage, and fixed charge coverage ratios, as defined in
the Senior Credit Facility. The operating covenants include minimum
subscribers, minimum aggregate service revenue, minimum coverage of
population and maximum capital expenditure thresholds. As of December 31,
1998 and March 31, 1999 (unaudited), the Company was in compliance with these
covenants.
The Company may utilize the Expansion Facility as long as the Company is not
in default of the Senior Credit Facility and is in compliance with each of
the financial covenants. However, none of the lenders are required to
participate in the Expansion Facility.
The Senior Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the
assets of the Company. In addition, the Senior Credit Facility has been
guaranteed by the Company's subsidiaries and shall be guaranteed by
subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries of the Company.

Lucent Note Agreement
In May 1998, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the Lucent
Note Agreement) with Lucent Technologies, Inc. (Lucent) which provides for
the issuance of increasing rate 8.5% Series A (the Series A Notes) and 10.0%
Series B (the Series B Notes) junior subordinated notes (the Subordinated
Notes) with an aggregate face value of $80,000,000. The aggregate face value
of the Subordinated Notes shall decrease dollar for dollar, upon the
occurrence of certain events as defined in the Lucent Note Agreement. The
proceeds of the Subordinated Notes are to be used to develop the Company's
network in certain designated areas. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had
$10,460,400 outstanding under the Series A Notes. As of March 31, 1999, the
Company had $40,815,926 (unaudited) and $20,093,150 (unaudited) outstanding
under the Series A Notes and Series B Notes, respectively. Subsequent to
March 31, 1999, the Company repaid the entire amount outstanding under the
Series B Notes with the proceeds received from the Notes (see Note 2).
The Series A and Series B Notes will not amortize and will have a maturity
date six months after the final maturity of the Company's high yield debt
offering, but in no event later than May 1, 2012. The Series A Notes will
have a mandatory redemption at par plus accrued interest from the proceeds of
a subsequent equity offering to the extent the net proceeds exceed an amount
identified in the Lucent Note Agreement. The Series B Notes will have a
mandatory redemption at par, plus accrued interest from the proceeds of the
Company's initial high yield debt offering to the extent the net proceeds of
that offering exceed an amount identified in the Lucent Note Agreement. If
the Series A Notes and Series B Notes are not redeemed in full by January
2001 and January 2000, respectively, the interest rate on each note will
increase by 1.5% per annum on January 1. However, the interest rate
applicable to the Subordinated Notes shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 12.5%
per annum or (ii) if the Company completes a Qualifying High Yield Offering
before May 2001 (in the case of the Series A Notes) or May 1, 2000 (in the
case of the Series B Notes), the initial yield on such offering plus 0.5% per
annum. Interest payable on the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes on or
prior to May 11, 2004 shall be payable in additional Series A and Series B
Notes. Thereafter, interest shall be paid in arrears in cash on each six
month and yearly anniversary of the Series A and Series B closing date or, if
cash interest payments are prohibited under the Senior Credit Facility and or
the Qualifying High Yield Debt Offering, in additional shares of Series A and
Series B Notes. As of December 31, 1998, interest accrued under the Series A
Notes of $460,400 has been included in long-term debt. As of March 31, 1999,
interest accrued under the Series A Notes and Series B Notes of $815,926
(unaudited) and $93,150 (unaudited), respectively, have been included in
long-term debt.
The Company may redeem the Subordinated Notes held by Lucent or any of its
affiliates at any time. The Series A Notes that are not held by Lucent or
any of its affiliates may be redeemed by the Company prior to May 2002 and
after May 2007. The Series B Notes that are not held by Lucent or any of its
affiliates may be redeemed by the Company prior to May 2000 and after May
2005. Any redemption after May 2007, in the case of the Series A Notes, and
May 2005, in the case of the Series B Notes, shall be subject to an interest
rate premium, as specified. All of the outstanding notes under the Lucent
Note Agreement as of December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999 are held by Lucent.
The Company must comply with certain operating covenants. As of December 31,
1998 and March 31, 1999 (unaudited), the Company was in compliance with these
operating covenants.

In addition, Lucent has agreed to make available up to an additional
$80,000,000 of junior subordinated vendor financing in amounts up to 30% of
the value of the equipment, software and services provided by Lucent in
connection with any additional markets the Company acquires, subject to
certain conditions as specified (the Vendor Expansion Facility). The
expiration date for any notes issued pursuant to the Vendor Expansion
Facility is the date which is six months after the scheduled maturity of the
Notes, subject to mandatory prepayment if certain future events occur.
U.S. Government financing
In 1996, the Company placed $7,500,000 on deposit with the FCC in order to
bid on F Block broadband PCS licenses. In April 1997, the Company's
application for the PCS licenses was approved. The Company made a down
payment of $5,942,835 using the funds from the FCC deposit and issued
promissory notes to the FCC for $23,771,342. The balance of the Company's
deposit of $1,557,165 was refunded in April 1997. In April 1997, certain of
the PCS licenses with a cost of $15,678,814 and related US. Government
financing in the amount of $12,034,212, net of a discount of $2,544,192, was
transferred to four newly-formed entities created by the Company's existing
stockholder group (See Notes 1 and 12) in August 1997. The terms of the
notes include: an interest rate of 6.25%, quarterly interest payments which
commenced in July 1998 and continue for the one year thereafter, then
quarterly principal and interest payments for the remaining 9 years. The
promissory notes are collateralized by the underlying PCS licenses.
The notes are net of a discount of $1,465,616, $1,268,272, and $1,212,552
(unaudited) as of December 31, 1997 and 1998 and March 31, 1999,
respectively. The notes were discounted using management's best estimate of
the prevailing market interest rate at the time of issuance of 10.25%.
Notes payable to stockholders
In July 1996, the Company issued $498,750 of subordinated promissory notes to
two stockholders. The notes bore interest at a rate of 10%, compounded semi-
annually, and were due in full in July 2002. In April 1997, these notes were
converted into 50 shares of Series A preferred stock (See Note 7).
In December 1997, the Company issued various promissory notes totaling
$2,808,500 to stockholders. The notes bore interest at a rate of 6% and were
converted into mandatorily redeemable preferred stock of the Company in July
1998. The notes were discounted using management's best estimate of the
prevailing market interest rate at the time of issuance of 10.25%. The
effect on the Company's 1997 financial statements of discounting these notes
was not material.
From January 1, 1998 to June 30, 1998, the Company borrowed approximately
$22,491,500 in the form of promissory notes from existing and prospective
stockholders to satisfy the working capital needs of the Company. The
promissory notes bore interest at the rate of 6.25% per annum compounded
quarterly and were payable in one lump sum on August 31, 1998. In July 1998,
these notes were converted to mandatorily redeemable preferred stock of the
Company (see Note 9) in connection with the AT&T Transaction.

6. AT&T Transaction
In January 1998, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
(the Securities Purchase Agreement) with AT&T Wireless PCS, Inc. and TWR
Cellular, Inc. (both subsidiaries of AT&T Corporation and collectively
referred to as AT&T PCS), the stockholders of Holding and various venture
capital investment firms (the Cash Equity Investors). The Securities
Purchase Agreement provides the Company will be a provider of wireless
mobility services in its licensed regions utilizing the AT&T brand name.
Upon the receipt of FCC approval in July 1998, the Company finalized the
transaction contemplated in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the AT&T
Transaction). In connection therewith, the Company issued mandatorily
redeemable preferred stock, preferred stock and common stock and paid AT&T
$21,000,000 in exchange for (i) 20 MHz PCS licenses with an independently
appraised value of $94,850,000; (ii) certain operating agreements with AT&T
for exclusivity, network membership, long distance and roaming with an
independently appraised value of $27,050,000; (iii) 100% of the outstanding
ownership interests in Holding, which includes 10 MHz PCS licenses; and (iv)
a cash commitment from the Cash Equity Investors of $128,000,000 to be paid
over a three year term (see Note 9) plus additional $5,000,000 upon the
closing of the Digital PCS transaction (see Note 15).
The general terms of the operating agreements with AT&T are summarized below:
. AT&T Exclusivity: The Company will be AT&T's exclusive
facilities-based provider of mobile wireless telecommunications
services within the Company's BTAs for an initial ten year
period. This agreement will automatically renew for a one-year
term and then operate on a year-to-year basis unless one party
terminates at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of any one-
year term.
The Company has determined the fair value of this agreement to be
$11,870,000 based upon an independent appraisal and is amortizing
this value over the initial 10 year term.

. Network Membership License Agreement: The Network Membership
License Agreement (the License Agreement) defines that AT&T will
make available to the Company use of the AT&T logo and the right
to refer to itself as a "Member of the AT&T Wireless Network" to
market its PCS services. Through the use of these rights, the
Company expects to participate in and benefit from AT&T
promotional and marketing efforts. The License Agreement has an
initial five-year term with a five-year renewal term if both the
Company and AT&T elect to renew at least ninety 90 days prior to
the expiration of the initial term.
The Company has determined the fair value of this agreement to be
$8,480,000 based upon an independent appraisal and is amortizing
this value over the initial five year term.
. Intercarrier Roamer Services Agreement: AT&T and the Company have
entered into a twenty-year reciprocal roaming agreement provided
that their customers who own tri-mode phones will roam on the
other's mobile wireless systems. Thereafter, this agreement shall
renew automatically on a year-to-year basis unless either the
Company or AT&T terminates this agreement by written notice at
least 90 days prior to the conclusion of the original or any
subsequent term. After ten years, this agreement may be
terminated by the Company or AT&T at any time upon 90 days prior
written notice. AT&T also agrees to permit the Company to have
outbound roaming on its network for twenty years at commercially
reasonable rates to the extent commercially and technologically
feasible. The outbound roaming agreement shall continue with
automatic ten-year renewals subject to a one-year cancellation
notice.
. The Company has determined the value of this roaming agreement to
be $3,500,000 based upon an independent appraisal and is
amortizing this value over the initial 10 year term.
. Long Distance Agreement: The long distance agreement provides
that AT&T will be the exclusive provider for long distance
services to the Company's customers within the Company's licensed
regions for an initial three year period. The long distance
agreement requires that the Company meet a minimum traffic volume
commitment during the term of the agreement. If the Company fails
to meet such volume commitments, the Company must pay to AT&T the
difference between the expected fee based on the volume of the
commitment and the fees based on actual volume.
The Company had determined the fair value of this agreement to be
$3,200,000 based upon an independent appraisal and is amortizing
this value over the initial three year term.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preferred stock is callable at the option of the Company at a price
equal to the liquidation preference on the redemption date. The Series A
preferred stock is callable thirty days after the 10th anniversary of the
issuance of such shares. The Series B preferred stock is callable at any
time. The Series C and Series D preferred stock are callable at any time,
provided that the Series C and Series D Preferred Stock are called
concurrently.
The Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D and Series E preferred stock are
redeemable thirty days after the 20th anniversary of the issuance of such
shares at the option of the holder at a price equal to the liquidation
preference on the redemption date. The Series F preferred stock is not
redeemable. Pursuant to a Management Agreement, the Company may redeem
certain shares of Class A common stock and Series E preferred stock held by
the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President (the TMC
officers). For the period from the finalization of the AT&T Transaction to
December 31, 1998, the Company accreted $8,345,248 of dividends in
connection with this redemption feature.
Tracked common stock
The Class C and Class D common stock have been designated as Tracked common
stock. The holders of the Tracked common stock are entitled to a dividend,
when available, equal to the excess of the fair value of the net assets of
Holding over the aggregate par value of the outstanding shares of the
Tracked common stock. After all other preferential liquidating
distributions have been made, the holders of the Tracked common stock will
be entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the excess of the fair
value of the net assets of Holding.
Participating stock
The Series F preferred stock, the Senior common stock and the Class A and B
common stock are participating stock, and the Board of Directors may not
declare dividends on or redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for
consideration any shares of the Participating Stock, unless the Board of
Directors makes such declaration or payment on the same terms with respect
to all shares of participating stock, ratably in accordance with each class
and series of participating stock then outstanding.
8. Restricted Stock Plan
In July 1998, the Company adopted a Restricted Stock Plan (the Plan) to
attract and retain key employees and to reward outstanding performance. Key
employees selected by management may elect to become participants in the
Plan by entering into an agreement which provides for issuance of fixed and
variable units consisting of Series E mandatorily redeemable preferred
stock and Class A common stock. The fixed units typically vest over a five
or six year period. The variable units vest based upon certain events
taking place, such as buildout milestones, Pop coverage and other events.
Unvested shares are forfeited upon termination of employment. The shares
issued under the Plan shall consist of units transferred to participants
without payment as additional compensation for their services to the
Company. The total number of units that may be awarded to key employees
shall not exceed 5,505 units or a defined number of shares of Series E
preferred stock and Class A common stock, respectively, as determined upon
award. Any units not granted on or prior to July 17, 2003 shall be awarded
to two officers of the Company. Each participant has voting, dividend and

distribution rights with respect to all shares of both vested and unvested
common stock. Prior to the Class A shares becoming publicly traded, the
Company retains the right of first offer to buy the employees' vested
shares at the offer price. After the Class A shares become publicly traded,
the right of first offer will no longer exist for the Series E preferred
shares. In addition the shares contain rights of inclusion and first
negotiation. The Company may repurchase unvested shares, and under certain
circumstances, vested shares of participants whose employment with the
Company terminates. The repurchase price is equal to $0.01 per share. Some
of the awards granted under the Plan are variable awards. When it is
probable the future events will occur, the Company determines the fair
value of the variable awards of the Series E preferred stock and Class A
common stock, subject to a final measurement date upon the occurrence of
defined events. Outstanding fixed awards and variable awards as of December
31, 1998 and March 31, 1999 (unaudited) for each class of stock are as

stock. The Securities Purchase Agreement requires the Cash Equity Investors

$ 128,000,000
===========
The initial contributions were provided in the form of short-term interest
bearing promissory notes (see Note 5). These notes were converted to
mandatorily redeemable preferred and common stock of the Company as partial
satisfaction of the $128,000,000 of committed contributions in connection
with the closing of the AT&T Transaction. Through December 31, 1998, the
Company received $51,999,725 of the above committed equity and received
$3,500,285 in January 1999. The Company has recorded a preferred stock
subscription receivable of $75,914,054 as of December 31, 1998 as a
reduction to the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and a common stock
subscription receivable of $86,221 as of December 31, 1998 as a reduction
to stockholders equity (deficit) for the unpaid commitment.
10. Income Taxes
The tax effect of temporary differences which gives rise to significant
portions of the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 1997 and 1998,
respectively, are as follows:
December 31,

1997 1998

Less valuation allowance (1,462,830) (20,855,394)
-------------- ---------------
$ - $ -
============== ===============
For federal income tax purposes, start-up costs will be amortized over five
years once active business operations commence. There may be a limitation
on the annual utilization of net operating losses and capitalized start-up
costs as a result of certain ownership changes that have occurred since the
Company's inception. The net operating losses start expiring in 2017. A
valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available
evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax asset will not be realized. Based on the Company's financial
results, management has concluded that a full valuation allowance for all
of the Company's deferred tax assets is appropriate.
11. Commitments
In May 1998, the Company entered into a vendor procurement contract (the
Vendor Procurement Contract) with Lucent, pursuant to which the Company
will purchase up to $285,000,000 of radio, switching and

wireless communications network. Through December 31, 1998, the Company has
purchased approximately $90,900,000 of equipment and services from Lucent.
The Company has operating leases primarily related to retail store
locations, distribution outlets, office space, and rent for the Company's
network build-out. The terms of some of the leases include a reduction of
rental payments and scheduled rent increases at specified intervals during
the term of the leases. The Company is recognizing rent expense on a
straight-line basis over the life of the lease, which establishes deferred
rent on the balance sheet. As of December 31, 1998, the aggregate minimum
rental commitments under noncancelable operating leases are as follows:
1999 $ 10,755,694
2000 10,752,666
2001 10,507,474

approximately $2,000, $157,000, and $3,193,000 for the period ended
December 31, 1996 and for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998,
respectively.
The Company has entered into a series of agreements for software licenses,
consulting, transition support and maintenance with various vendors. The
total future commitments under the agreements is approximately $6,000,000
as of December 31, 1998.
The Company has entered into letters of credit to facilitate local business
activities. The Company is liable under the letters of credit for
nonperformance of certain criteria under the individual contracts. The
total amount of outstanding letters of credit was $1,425,000 at December
31, 1998. The outstanding letters of credit reduce the amount available to
be drawn under the Senior Credit Facility (see Note 5). The Company is
unaware of any events that would have resulted in nonperformance of a
contract during the year ended December 31, 1998.
12. Related Parties

15. Subsequent Events
In February 1999, Viper Wireless, Inc. (Viper), was formed to participate in
the C-Block PCS license reauction for additional spectrum in most of the
Company's markets. The Company currently owns 85% of Viper and the Company's
Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer collectively own the remaining 15%. Mr. Vento and Mr. Sullivan
together currently have voting control over Viper. Upon final award of
licenses to Viper, the Company will solicit the approval of the FCC for the
consolidation of Viper into the Company. Any such consolidation will be
subject to a final FCC order approving the transaction. In April 1999, Viper
participated in the FCC's reauction of C-Block licenses for additional
spectrum. On April 15, 1999, the FCC announced the reauction ended, and
Viper was the current high bidder for 15 MHz licenses in New Orleans, Houma
and Alexandria, Louisiana, San Juan, Puerto Rico and Jackson, Tennessee.
Viper was also the current high bidder for a 30 MHz licenses in Beaumont,
Texas. The total auction price for these licenses is approximately
$32,286,000 plus legal costs of $46,566. During the quarter ended March 31,
1999, the Company paid the FCC an initial deposit of $17,818,549 (unaudited)
related to the reauction. Subsequent to March 31, 1999, the FCC refunded
$11,361,351(unaudited) of the initial deposit. The finalization of this
transaction is conditioned upon the receipt of final regulatory approval
from the FCC, which is expected in the second half of 1999. The purchase
price will be allocated to the licenses acquired, subject to adjustment,
based upon their estimated fair value as follows:
PCS licenses $ 32,286,000
Other intangible assets relating
to legal costs 46,566
-------------
$ 32,332,566
=============
AT&T and certain of the Company's other stockholders have committed an
aggregate of up to approximately $32,300,000 in exchange for additional
shares of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock, Series F preferred stock
and common stock in the event Viper is ultimately awarded these licenses. As
part of this financing, the Company paid approximately $500,000 to an
affiliate of a Cash Equity Investor in closing this transaction. In May
1999, AT&T and the certain Cash Equity Investors funded approximately
$6,460,000 of their commitment, with the remaining $25,840,000 to be funded
when the Company must make payments to the FCC with respect to these
licenses, or if the FCC does not refund amounts the Company paid to the FCC
as deposits in connection with the reauction within 180 days of the date of
deposit. On June 3, 1999, a petition was filed by
Continued

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
________
certain collateralized creditors of DCR PCS, Inc. and Pocket Communications
Inc. against the application of Viper for the Houma and New Orleans
licenses. The petition seeks deferral of the grant of these licenses to
Viper until an appeal by the collateralized creditors of DCR PCS, Inc. and
Pocket Communications, Inc. has been resolved or, in the alternative, a
condition noting that a pre-existing claim to the licenses may exist if the
collateralized creditors of DCR PCS, Inc. and Pocket Communications are
successful in that appeal. The appeal seeks review of the bankruptcy court's
ruling concering DCR PCS, Inc. and Pocket Communications, Inc. permitting
DCR PCS, Inc. to file its election notice, which ultimately resulted in the
return of these licenses to the FCC, over the objection of the
collateralized creditors of DCR PCS, Inc. and Pocket Communications, Inc.
On June 15, 1999, Viper filed an opposition to the petition.
Triton PCS, Inc. (Triton), Tritel Communications (Tritel), and the Company
have adopted a common brand, SunCom, which is co-branded with equal emphasis
with the AT&T brand name and logo. On April 16, 1999, Triton, Tritel and
TeleCorp Communications, Inc. formed a new company, Affiliate License Co.,
L.L.C., to own, register and maintain the marks SunCom, SunCom Wireless and
other SunCom and Sun formative marks (the SunCom Marks) and to license the
SunCom marks to Triton, Tritel and the Company. Triton, Tritel and TeleCorp
Communications, Inc. each have a 33% membership interest in Affiliate
License Co., L.L.C. On April 16, 1999, Triton entered into an agreement, to
settle a potential dispute regarding prior use of the SunCom brand. In
connection with this settlement, Triton agreed to pay $975,000 to acquire
the SunCom Marks which were contributed to Affiliate License Co., L.L.C. The
Company paid $325,000 in royalty payments to reimburse Triton for the
contributed SunCom Marks.
On April 20, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of 10 MHz PCS
licenses covering the Baton Rouge, Houma, Hammond and Lafayette, Louisiana
BTA's from Digital PCS, Inc. The total purchase price of $5,979,561 was
comprised of $2,310,000 of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and common
stock of the Company, the assumption of U.S. Government financing with the
FCC of $4,100,000, less a discount of $716,995, and $286,556 in cash as
reimbursement to Digital PCS for interest due to the FCC incurred prior to
close and legal costs. The terms of the notes include: interest rate of
6.25%, quarterly interest payments for a two year period and then quarterly
principal and interest payments for the remaining 8 years. The promissory
notes are collateralized by the underlying PCS licenses. The notes and
related PCS licenses will be recorded net of a discount of $716,995 based on
management's best estimate of the prevailing market interest rate at the
time of the transaction. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated
to the assets acquired, subject to adjustment, based upon their estimated
fair value as follows:

(a) On May 24, 1999, the Company sold mandatorily redeemable preferred stock
and preferred stock to AT&T with an aggregate value of $40,000,000.
Subsequently, on May 25, 1999, the Company acquired from AT&T 20 MHz PCS
licenses covering the San Juan MTA, 27 constructed cell sites, a switching
facility, leases for additional cell sites, the extension of the Network
Membership License Agreement, Long Distance Agreement, Intercarrier Roamer
Services Agreement and AT&T Exclusivity Agreement and the reimbursement of
AT&T for microwave relocation costs, salary and lease payments (the Puerto
Rico transaction) incurred prior to acquisition. In addition, the Company
incurred legal fees of $500,000 related to this acquisition. The total
purchase price of this asset acquisition was $99,672,877 in cash. The
purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired,
subject to adjustment, based upon their estimated fair value as follows:

As a result of completing this transaction, the Company's available
borrowings under the Lucent Note Agreement (see Note 6) shall increase
$15,000,000 ($7,500,000 of series A and $7,500,000 of series B) and certain
Cash Equity Investors have committed $39,996,600 in cash in exchange for
mandatorily redeemable preferred and common stock. As part of this
financing, the Company paid $2,000,000 to a Cash Equity Investor upon
closing this transaction. The Cash Equity Investors cash commitment of
$39,996,600 will be funded over a three year period from the close of this
transaction. In addition, certain employees, the Chief Executive Officer
and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company
will be issued a total of 5,643 shares and 8,212 shares of mandatorily
redeemable Series E preferred stock and Class A common stock, respectively.
The value of these shares will be recorded as deferred compensation and
amortized over the related vesting periods resulting in future compensation
expense.
(b) On April 20, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of 10 MHz PCS
licenses covering the Baton Rouge, Houma, Hammond and Lafayette, Louisiana
BTA's from Digital PCS, Inc. The total purchase price of $5,979,561,
comprised of $2,310,000 of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and
common stock of the Company, the assumption of U.S. Government financing
with the FCC of $4,100,000, less a discount of $716,995, and $286,556 in
cash as reimbursement to Digital PCS for interest due to the FCC incurred
prior to close and legal costs. The terms of the notes include: interest
rate of 6.25%, quarterly interest payments for a two year period and then
quarterly principal and interest payments for the remaining 8 years. The
promissory notes are collateralized by the underlying PCS licenses. The
notes and related PCS licenses will be recorded net of a discount of
$716,995 based on management's best estimate of the prevailing market
interest rate at the time of the transaction. The purchase price has been
preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired, subject to adjustment,
based upon their estimated fair value as follows:

In addition, the Cash Equity Investors will contribute $5,000,000 in
exchange for mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and common stock over a
two year period from the close of this transaction.
(c) On June 2, 1999 the Company acquired from Wireless 2000, Inc. 15 MHz PCS
licenses in the Alexandria, Lake Charles and Monroe, Louisiana BTAs. The
total purchase price of $7,192,174, was comprised of $370,810 of
mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and common stock of the Company, the
assumption of U.S. Government financing with the FCC of $7,449,190, less a
discount of $1,277,765 and $649,939 in cash as reimbursement of microwave
relocation costs and reimbursement of FCC interest and legal costs. The
purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired,
subject to adjustment, based upon their estimated fair value as follows:

(d) In February 1999, Viper was formed to participate in the C-Block PCS
license reauction for additional spectrum in most of the Company's markets.
The Company currently owns 85% of Viper and the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
collectively own the remaining 15%. Mr.Vento and Mr.Sullivan together
currently have voting control over Viper. Upon final award of licenses to
Viper, the Company will solicit the approval of the FCC for the
consolidation of Viper into the Company. Any such consolidation will be
subject to a final FCC order approving the transaction.
In April 1999, Viper participated in the FCC's reauction of C-Block
licenses for additional spectrum. On April 15, 1999, the FCC announced the
reauction ended, and Viper was the current high bidder for 15 MHz licenses
in New Orleans, Houma and Alexandria, Louisiana, San Juan, Puerto Rico and
Jackson, Tennessee. Viper was also the current high bidder for a 30 MHz
licenses in Beaumont, Texas. The total auction price for these licenses is
approximately $32,286,000. During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the
Company paid the FCC an initial deposit of $17,818,549 related to the
reauction. Subsequent to March 31, 1999, the FCC refunded $11,361,351 of
the initial deposit. The finalization of this transaction is conditioned
upon the receipt of final regulatory approval from the FCC, which is
expected in the second half of 1999. The purchase price will be allocated
to the licenses acquired, subject to adjustment, based upon their estimated
fair value as follows:

</TABLE>
AT&T and certain of the Company's other stockholders have committed an
aggregate of up to approximately $32,300,000 in exchange for additional
shares of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock, Series F preferred stock
and common stock in the event Viper is ultimately awarded these licenses.
As part of this financing, the Company paid $500,000 to an affliate of a
Cash Equity Investor upon closing this transaction. In May 1999, AT&T and
the certain Cash Equity Investors funded approximately $6,460,000 of their
commitment, with the remaining $25,840,000 to be funded when the Company
must make payments to the FCC with respect to these licenses, or if the FCC
does not refund amounts the Company paid to the FCC as deposits in
connection with the reauction within 180 days of the date of deposit. On
June 3, 1999, a petition was filed by certain collateralized creditors of
DCR PCS, Inc. and Pocket Communications Inc. against the application of
Viper
F-41

TELECORP PCS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES AND PREDECESSOR COMPANY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED

_____
for the Houma and New Orleans licenses. The petition seeks deferral of the
grant of these licenses to Viper until an appeal by the collateralized
creditors of DCR PCS, Inc. and Pocket Communications, Inc. has been
resolved or, in the alternative, a condition noting that a pre-existing
claim to the licenses may exist if the collateralized creditors of DCR PCS,
Inc. and Pocket Communications are successful in that appeal. The appeal
seeks review of the bankruptcy court's ruling concerning DCR PCS, Inc. and
Pocket Communications, Inc. permitting DCR PCS, Inc. to file its election
notice, which ultimately resulted in the return of these licenses to the
FCC, over the objection of the collateralized creditors of DCR PCS, Inc.
and Pocket Communications, Inc. On June 15, 1999, Viper filed an opposition
to the petition.
(e) Adjustments reflect the receipt of $296,960,053 of proceeds for the sale of
the Notes, net of offering expenses of $10,574,947 and the repayment of the
Lucent Series B Notes of approximately $20,100,000 outstanding as of March
31, 1999 (unaudited).

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
All statements contained in this prospectus, as well as statements made in
press releases and oral statements that may be made by us or any of our
officers, directors or employees acting on our behalf, that are not statements
of historical fact, including, but not limited to, statements regarding our
current business strategy, future operations, technical capabilities,
construction plan and schedule, commercial operations schedule, funding needs,
prospective acquisitions or joint ventures, financing sources, pricing, future
regulatory approvals, markets, size of markets for wireless communications
services, financial position, estimated revenues, projected costs, prospects,
plans and objectives of management, as well as information concerning expected
actions of third parties, such as equipment suppliers, service providers and
roaming partners, and expected characteristics of competing systems, are based
upon current expectations and constitute "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such,
speak only as of the date made. Such forward-looking statements involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual
results to be materially different from historical results or from any future
results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Among the
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following:
the availability of sufficient capital to finance our business plan on terms
satisfactory to us; competitive factors; changes in labor, equipment and capital
costs; our ability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals; technological
changes; our ability to comply with the indenture governing the Notes and the
terms of our other credit agreements; future acquisitions or strategic
partnerships; general business and economic conditions; and other factors
described under the heading "Risk Factors." We caution readers not to place
undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. In addition to statements that
explicitly describe such risks and uncertainties, readers are urged to consider
statements that include the terms "believes," "belief," "expects," "plans,"
"anticipates," "intends," "estimates," "projects" or the like to be uncertain
and forward-looking. We have no obligation to update or revise publicly any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. Although we believe that the expectations underlying the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure that such
expectations will prove to be correct.
We disclose important factors that could cause our actual results to differ
materially from our expectations ("cautionary statements") under the heading
"Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the prospectus. The cautionary statements
qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on
our behalf.

Risk Factors
You should consider carefully all of the information set forth in this
prospectus and, in particular, you should evaluate the specific factors under
"Risk Factors" beginning on the next page before you invest in the Notes.
A-3
<PAGE>
[ALTERNATIVE PROVISIONS]
[The following provisions replace the provisions under the same headings in the
prospectus in the "Risk Factors" section.]
RISK FACTORS
We may need additional financing to complete our network and fund operating
losses.
We will make significant capital expenditures to finish the designing,
building, testing and deployment of our network. We estimate that the proceeds
from the original private offering of the Notes, together with the proceeds from
sales of our equity securities, borrowings under our senior credit facilities
and the vendor financing provided by Lucent, and internally generated cash, will
be sufficient to:
. fund the planned construction of our network;
. fund operating losses; and
. satisfy debt service requirements through December 31, 2002.
See "Use of Proceeds" and "Business--Network Development." The actual
expenditures necessary to achieve these goals may differ significantly from our
estimates. We would have to obtain additional financing, if:
. any of our sources of capital are unavailable or insufficient;
. we significantly depart from our business plan;
. we experience unexpected delays or cost overruns in the
construction of our network;
. we have increases in operating costs;
. changes in technology or governmental regulations create
unanticipated costs; or
. we acquire additional licenses.
We cannot predict whether any additional financing will be available, the
terms on which any additional financing would be available or whether our
existing debt agreements will allow additional financing. If we cannot obtain
additional financing when needed, we will have to delay, modify or abandon some
of our plans to construct the remainder of our network.
We have sold $205.3 million of equity securities. As of March 31, 1999, we
had received payments of $55.5 million in payment for such securities. The
remaining $149.8 million (including $32.3 million of commitments to reimburse us
for costs incurred in connection with the FCC's reauction of C-Block licenses)
has been irrevocably committed and will be paid within three years. If we do not
receive the proceeds from sales of our equity securities in a timely manner, our
ability to complete construction of our network, successfully implement our
business plan and capitalize on opportunities for growth could be materially
adversely affected.
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that may be incorrect.
All statements in this prospectus that are not statements of historical
facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements concern our
strategy, future operations, technical capabilities, construction plan and
schedule, commercial operations schedule, funding needs, prospective
acquisitions or joint ventures, financing sources, pricing, future regulatory
approvals, markets, size of markets for wireless communications services,
financial position, estimated revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and
objectives of management, as well as information concerning expected actions of
third parties such as equipment suppliers, service providers and roaming
partners, and expected characteristics of competing systems. Although we believe
that the expectations underlying such forward-looking statements are reasonable,
forward-looking statements are inherently speculative, and they may be
incorrect. Our business, operations and financial results may differ materially
from the expectations expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements in
this prospectus. You should consider carefully the factors described in this
section and the other information in this prospectus before you invest in the
Notes.
A-4
<PAGE>
[ALTERNATIVE PROVISIONS]
The information set forth under "Business--Network Development," other than
historical information, the statements in this prospectus regarding the years
during which we expect to continue to incur significant operating losses and to
generate negative cash flow from operating activities and the statements in this
prospectus regarding our anticipated capital needs are forward-looking
statements based upon a number of specific assumptions. These assumptions
include the following:
. we will not incur any unanticipated costs in the construction of
our network;
. we will be able to compete successfully in each of our markets;
. demand for our services will meet wireless communications industry
projections;
. our network will satisfy the requirements set forth in our
agreements with AT&T and support the services we expect to provide;
. the capacity of our network will be sufficient to meet the level of
service reflected in our business plan;
. we will be successful in working with AT&T and the other SunCom
companies, as well as with other providers of wireless
communications services and roaming partners, to ensure effective
marketing of our network and the services we intend to offer;
. there will be no change in any governmental regulation or the
administration of existing governmental regulations that requires a
material change in the operation of our business; and
. there will be no change in any of our material contracts that
adversely affects us.
Although we believe that these assumptions are reasonable, they may be
incorrect. If one or more of these assumptions is incorrect, our business,
operations and financial results may differ materially from the expectations,
expressed or implied, in the forward-looking statements in this prospectus.
A market for unregistered Notes may weaken the market for the registered Notes,
and vice versa.
The existence of a market for registered Notes could adversely affect the
market for unregistered Notes due to the limited amount, or "float," of the
unregistered Notes that remain outstanding. Generally, a lower "float" of a
security could result in less demand to purchase such security and could result
in lower prices for such security. For the same reasons, the existence of a
market for unregistered Notes could adversely affect the trading market for the
registered Notes.
There is no public market for the Notes and there are restrictions on the resale
of the Notes.
The Notes are new securities with no established trading market. We do not
intend to list the Notes on any securities exchange. CSI, one of the initial
purchasers of the Notes in the original private offering, has told us that they
intend to make a market in the Notes, as the law permits. CSI is not obligated
to make a market, and may discontinue any such activities at any time without
notice. If CSI conducts any market-making activities, it may be required to
deliver a market-making prospectus when effecting offers and sales of the Notes
because affiliates of CSI beneficially own some of our capital stock. For so
long as a market-making prospectus is required to be delivered, the ability of
CSI to make a market in the Notes depends, in part, on our ability to maintain a
current market-making prospectus. We cannot ensure that an active market for
the Notes will develop.

<PAGE>
[ALTERNATIVE SECTION]
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds from the original private offering of the Notes, after
deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and estimated fees and expenses
payable by us, were approximately $317.0 million. We used $40.0 million of the
net proceeds to repay vendor financing from Lucent. We intend to use the
remaining net proceeds from the private offering of the Notes, together with
proceeds from sales of our equity securities, borrowings under our senior credit
facilities, other vendor financing provided by Lucent and internally generated
cash, to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions of PCS licenses, operating
losses and other working capital requirements. We did not receive proceeds from
the exchange offer relating to the Notes, and will not receive any proceeds from
market-making transactions by CSI. See "Business--Network Development" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

[ALTERNATIVE PROVISIONS]
[The following provisions replace the provisions under the same headings in the
prospectus in the "Description of the Notes" section.]
DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

guarantor, and Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), a copy of
which is available.
The following summary of certain provisions of the Indenture and the Notes
is not complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to, all the provisions of the Indenture, including the definitions of certain

mailed to the registered holders of the Notes at their registered addresses.
The Notes are and will be issued only in fully registered form, without
coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. No
service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Notes, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax
or other similar governmental charge payable in connection with such transfer or
exchange.
Certain Covenants
Provision of Financial Information. The Indenture provides that, whether or
not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are
outstanding, we will furnish to the holders of the Notes:
(1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required
to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if we
were required to file such forms, including a section entitled
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" that describes our financial condition and
results of operations and that of our consolidated Subsidiaries and a
report on such annual information only by our certified independent
accountants; and
(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on
Form 8-K if we were required to file such reports, in each case within
the time period specified in the SEC's rules and regulations.
We will file a copy of all such information and reports with the SEC for
public availability within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and
regulations (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing) and make such
information available to prospective investors upon request. In addition, the
Company will, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, furnish to the
holders of Notes, upon request, the information required to be delivered under
Rule 144A(d)(4) of the Securities Act. The Company will also comply with Section
314(a) of the TIA.
Amendments and Waivers
Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended
with the written consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount at maturity of the Notes then outstanding, and any past default or
compliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Notes then
outstanding. However, without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note
affected, no amendment may, among other things:
(1) reduce the amount of the Notes whose holders must consent to an
amendment;
A-7

[ALTERNATIVE PROVISIONS]
(2) reduce the rate of, or extend the time for payment of, interest or any
liquidated damages on any Note;
(3) reduce the principal of, or extend the Stated Maturity of, any Note;
(4) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change
the time at which any Note may be redeemed as described under "--
Optional Redemption;"

required to mail to Noteholders a notice briefly describing such amendment.
However, the failure to give such notice to all Noteholders, or any defect in
such notice, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

[ALTERNATIVE PROVISIONS]
[The following provisions replace the provisions under the same headings in the
prospectus in the "Book-Entry; Delivery and Form" section.]
BOOK-ENTRY; DELIVERY AND FORM
The Notes are represented by a permanent global certificate in definitive,
fully registered form (the "Global Note"). The Global Note is registered in the
name of a nominee of DTC.
Certain Book-Entry Procedures for the Global Notes
The descriptions of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and
Cedel set forth below are provided solely as a matter of convenience. These
operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective
settlement systems, and are subject to change by them from time to time. Neither
we nor any of the initial purchasers of the Notes takes any responsibility for
these operations or procedures, and investors are urged to contact the relevant
system or its participants directly to discuss these matters.
DTC has advised us that it is (1) a limited purpose trust company organized
under the laws of the State of New York, (2) a "banking organization" within the
meaning of the New York Banking Law, (3) a member of the Federal Reserve System,
(4) a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code,
as amended, and (5) a "clearing agency" registered under Section 17A of the
Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participants
(collectively, the "Participants") and facilitates the clearance and settlement
of securities transactions between Participants through electronic book-entry
changes to the accounts of its Participants, thereby eliminating the need for
physical transfer and delivery of certificates. DTC's Participants include
securities brokers and dealers, including the initial purchasers, banks and
trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Indirect
access to DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks,
brokers, dealers and trust companies (collectively, the "Indirect Participants")
that clear through, or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant,
either directly or indirectly. Investors who are not Participants may
beneficially own securities held by, or on behalf of DTC only through
Participants or Indirect Participants.
We expect that under procedures established by DTC, (1) upon deposit of
each Global Note, DTC will credit the accounts of Participants designated by the
initial purchasers of the Notes in the original private offering with an
interest in the Global Note and (2) ownership of the Notes will be shown on, and
the transfer of ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by
DTC, with respect to the interests of Participants and the records of
Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to the interests of
persons other than Participants).
The laws of some jurisdictions may require that certain purchasers of
securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form.
Accordingly, the ability to transfer interests in the Notes represented by a
Global Note to such persons may be limited. In addition, because DTC can act
only on behalf of its Participants, who in turn act on behalf of persons who
hold interests through Participants, the ability of a person having an interest
in the Notes represented by a Global Note to pledge or transfer such interest to
persons or entities that do not participate in DTC's system, or to otherwise
take actions in respect of such interest, may be affected by the lack of a
physical definitive security in respect of such interest.
So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of a Global Note, DTC
or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder
of the Notes represented by the Global Note for all purposes under the
Indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a Global
Note will not be entitled to have the Notes represented by such Global Note
registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical
delivery of Certificated Notes and will not be considered the owners or holders
under the Indenture for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any
direction, instruction or approval to the Trustee. Accordingly, each holder
owning a beneficial interest in a Global Note must rely on the procedures of DTC
and, if such holder is not a Participant or an Indirect Participant, on the
procedures of the Participant through which such holder owns its interest, to
exercise any rights of a holder of the Notes under the Indenture or such Global
Note. We understand that, under existing industry practice, if we request any
action of holders of the Notes, or a holder that is an owner of a beneficial
interest in a Global Note desires to take any action that DTC, as the holder of
such Global Note, is entitled to take, DTC would authorize the Participants to
take such action and the Participants would authorize holders owning through
such Participants to take such action or would otherwise act upon the
instruction of such holders. Neither we nor the Trustee will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or
payments made on account of, the Notes by DTC, or for maintaining, supervising
or reviewing any records of DTC relating to such Notes.
Payments with respect to the principal and interest, and premium, if any,
and liquidated damages, if any, on any Notes represented by a Global Note
registered in the name of DTC or its nominee on the applicable record date will
be payable by the Trustee to, or at the direction of, DTC or its nominee in its
capacity as the registered holder of the Global Note representing such
A-23
<PAGE>
[ALTERNATIVE PROVISIONS]
Notes under the Indenture. Under the terms of the Indenture, we and the Trustee
will be permitted to treat the persons in whose names the Notes, including the
Global Notes, are registered as the owners of such Notes for the purpose of
receiving payment thereon and for any and all other purposes whatsoever.
Accordingly, neither we nor the Trustee have or will have any responsibility or
liability for the payment of such amounts to owners of beneficial interests in a
Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, liquidated damages, if any,
and interest). Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the
owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be governed by standing
instructions and customary industry practice, and will be the responsibility of
the Participants or the Indirect Participants and DTC.
Transfers between Participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with
DTC's procedures and will be settled in same-day funds. Transfers between
participants in Euroclear or Cedel will be effected in the ordinary way in
accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.
Subject to compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the
Notes, cross-market transfers between the Participants in DTC, on the one hand,
and Euroclear or Cedel participants on the other hand, will be effected through
DTC in accordance with DTC's rules on behalf of Euroclear or Cedel, as the case
may be; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of
instructions to Euroclear or Cedel, as the case may be, by the counterparty in
such system in accordance with the rules and procedures, and within the
established deadlines (Brussels time), of such system. Euroclear or Cedel, as
the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements,
deliver instructions to its depositary to take action to effect final settlement
on its behalf, by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant Global Notes
in DTC and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for
same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Cedel
participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositaries for
Euroclear or Cedel.
Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or
Cedel participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a Participant in
DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant
Euroclear or Cedel participant, during the securities settlement processing day,
which must be a business day for Euroclear or Cedel, as the case may be,
immediately following the settlement date of DTC. Cash received by Euroclear or
Cedel as a result of sales of interests in a Global Note by or through a
Euroclear or Cedel participant to a Participant in DTC will be received with
value on the settlement date of DTC, but will be available in the relevant
Euroclear or Cedel cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or
Cedel, as the case may be, following DTC's settlement date.
Although DTC, Euroclear and Cedel have agreed to the foregoing procedures
to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among participants in
DTC, Euroclear and Cedel, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue
to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time.
Neither we nor the Trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by
DTC, Euroclear or Cedel, or their respective participants or indirect
participants, of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures
governing their operations.
Certificated Notes
If (1) we notify the Trustee in writing that DTC is no longer willing or
able to act as a depositary, or DTC ceases to be registered as a clearing agency
under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90
days of such notice or cessation, (2) we, at our option, notify the Trustee in
writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Notes in definitive form
under the Indenture, or (3) upon the occurrence of certain other events as
provided in the Indenture, then, upon surrender by DTC of the Global Notes,
Certificated Notes will be issued to each person that DTC identifies as the
beneficial owner of the Notes represented by the Global Notes. Upon any such
issuance, the Trustee is required to register such Certificated Notes in the
name of such person or persons, or the nominee of any such person, and cause the
same to be delivered to such person.
Neither we nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay by DTC or any
Participant or Indirect Participant in identifying the beneficial owners of the
related Notes, and each such person may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, instructions from DTC for all purposes, including with
respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts,
of the Notes to be issued.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
CSI may use this prospectus in connection with offers and sales of the
Notes in market-making transactions at negotiated prices relating to prevailing
market prices at the time of sale. CSI may act as principal or agent in such
transaction.
The Notes are new securities with no established trading market. We do
not intend to list the Notes on any securities exchange. Any trading that does
develop will occur on the over-the-counter market. CSI has advised us that it
intends to make a market in the Notes, but it has no obligation to do so. CSI
may discontinue any market-making at any time. We cannot assure you that a
liquid market will develop for the Notes, that you will be able to sell your
Notes at a particular time or that the prices that you receive when you sell
will be favorable. Future trading prices of the Notes will depend on many
factors, including our operating performance and financial condition, prevailing
interest rates and the market for similar securities.
CSI acted as an initial purchaser in connection with the initial
private offering of the Notes, and received customary compensation in connection
with such offering. CSI and its affiliates perform various investment banking
and commercial banking services from time to time for us and our affiliates. The
Chase Manhattan Bank, an affiliate of CSI, is the agent bank and a lender under
our senior credit facilities. Mr. Michael R. Hannon, a member of our Board,
is a General Partner of Chase Capital Partners, an affiliate of CSI. In
addition, affiliates of Chase Capital Partners own a portion of our common
stock. For further information concerning these relationships, see "Securities
Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management."
Although there are no agreements to do so, CSI, and others, may act as
a broker or dealer in connection with the sale of Notes contemplated by this
prospectus and may receive fees or commissions in connection with such sales.
We have agreed to indemnify CSI against certain liabilities under the
Securities Act or to contribute to payments that CSI may have to make in respect
of such liabilities.

PART II INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") provides that a
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that
such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was
unlawful. Section 145 further provides that a corporation similarly may
indemnify any such person serving in any such capacity who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action
or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its
favor, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court
in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. The
provisions regarding indemnification and advancement of expenses under Section
145 of the DGCL shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those
seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any
bylaw, agreement, stockholders' or disinterested directors' vote or otherwise.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to include in its
certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision
shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director: (i) for any breach of
the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to
unlawful payment of dividends and unlawful stock purchase and redemption); or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
As permitted by Section 145(e) of the DGCL, our Third Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that we
shall indemnify our directors and officers, and, to the extent our Board at any
time authorizes, incorporators, employees or agents, as such, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, and that expenses reasonably incurred by any
officer or director or such other person entitled to indemnification in
connection with a threatened or actual action or proceeding shall be advanced or
promptly reimbursed by us in advance of the final disposition of such action or
proceeding, provided that, if required to do so under the DGCL, we receive an
undertaking by or on behalf of such officer or director or other person to repay
such amount if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined by final
judicial decision from which there is no further right of appeal that such
officer or director or other person is not entitled to indemnification. Our
Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that such
rights are not exclusive.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-
effective amendment) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. In spite of the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low
or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the SEC under Rule 424(b) if , in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20%
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration.
(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering.
(c) To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by
reference into the prospectus under Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form,
within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated
documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes
information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the
registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
(d) To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information
concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved, that was not
the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became
effective.
(e) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to
any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a
prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or
party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the
issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information
called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by
persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called
for by the other Items of the applicable form.
(f) The registrant undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is filed
under paragraph (c) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purposes to meet the
requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in
connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as
part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until
such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effectiveness amendment shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
here, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to the
initial bona fide offering.
(g) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant under the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling persons of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

-------
payment of dividends and the distribution of assets on liquidation, dissolution
or winding up, rank on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, and rank
senior to Junior Stock.
(b) Dividends and Distributions.
---------------------------
(i) Dividends. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall
---------
be entitled to receive, as and when declared by the Board of Directors, out of
funds legally available therefor, dividends on each outstanding share of Series
A Preferred Stock, at an annual rate per share equal to ten percent (10%) of the
Liquidation Preference, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months. Dividends shall be paid quarterly in arrears on the
Dividend Payment Date commencing September 30, 1998 in the manner provided in
paragraph (iii) below.
(ii) Accrued Dividends, Record Date. Dividends payable pursuant to
------------------------------
paragraph (i) above shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from the date on
which shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued, and shall begin to accrue
on a daily basis, in each case whether or not earned or declared. The Board of
Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of the dividends payable
pursuant to paragraph (i) above, which record date shall not be more than 60
days prior to the Dividend Payment Date.
(iii) Payment. All dividends shall be payable in cash. Until the 42nd
-------

dividends payable at any Dividend Payment Date, subject to Section 4.3(c), such
funds shall be allocated for the payment of dividends with respect to the shares
of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock pro rata based upon the
Liquidation Preference of the outstanding shares.
(c) Certain Restrictions.
--------------------
(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.3(b), (e) and (f), cash
-4-
<PAGE>
dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock may not be declared, paid or set apart
for payment, nor may the Corporation redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, if (A) the Corporation is not solvent or
would be rendered insolvent thereby or (B) at such time the terms and provisions
of any law or agreement of the Corporation, including any agreement relating to
its indebtedness, specifically prohibit such declaration, payment or setting
apart for payment or such redemption, purchase or other acquisition, or provide
that such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or such redemption,
purchase or other acquisition would constitute a violation or breach thereof or
a default thereunder.
(ii) So long as shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding or
dividends payable on shares of Series A Preferred Stock have not been paid in
full in cash, then the Corporation shall not declare or pay cash dividends on,
or redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration, any shares of Common
Stock or other shares of Junior Stock, except with the prior written consent of
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
except that the Corporation may acquire, in accordance with the terms of any
agreement between the Corporation and its employees, shares of Common Stock or
Preferred Stock at a price not greater than the Market Price as of such date.
(iii) The Corporation shall not permit any Subsidiary of the Corporation,
or cause any other Person, to make any distribution with respect to, or purchase
or otherwise acquire for consideration, any shares of capital stock of the
Corporation, unless the Corporation could, pursuant to paragraph (ii) above,
make such distribution or purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time
and in such manner.
(d) Voting Rights; Election of Directors.
------------------------------------
(i) The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any
right to vote on any matters to be voted on by the stockholders of the
Corporation, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) below or
as provided by law, and the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be
included in determining the number of shares voting or entitled to vote on any
such matters (other than the matters described in paragraphs (ii) and (iii)
below or as otherwise required by law).
(ii) Unless the consent or approval of a greater number of shares shall
then be required by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock in person or by proxy, at
each special and annual meeting of stockholders called for the purpose, or by
written consent, shall be necessary to (A) authorize, increase the authorized
number of shares of or issue (including on conversion or exchange of any
convertible or exchangeable securities or by reclassification) any shares of any
class or classes of Senior Stock or Parity Stock or any additional shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, (B) authorize, adopt or approve each amendment to this
Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would increase or decrease the par
value of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, alter or change the
-5-
<PAGE>
powers, preferences or rights of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or alter
or change the powers, preferences or rights of any other capital stock of the
Corporation if such alteration or change results in such capital stock being
Senior Stock or Parity Stock, (C) amend, alter or repeal any provision of this
Restated Certificate of Incorporation so as to affect the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock adversely, or (D) authorize or issue any security convertible
into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to purchase or otherwise receive
any shares of any class or classes of Senior Stock or Parity Stock.
(iii) So long as the Initial Holders own in the aggregate at least two-
thirds (2/3) of the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by it on
the date hereof, holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the
exclusive right, voting separately as a single class, to nominate two directors
of the Corporation or, at any time after the later of (x) the IPO Date or (y)
the date on which shares of Class A Common Stock and Voting Preference Common
Stock vote as a single class for all purposes, one director. The foregoing
right to nominate two directors (or one director) may be exercised at any annual
meeting of stockholders or a special meeting of stockholders or holders of
Series A Preferred Stock held for such purpose or any adjournment thereof, or by
the written consent, delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, of the
holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initial Holders shall have the right,
exercisable at any time by written notice delivered to the Secretary of the
Corporation, to surrender and cancel irrevocably such right to nominate two
directors (or one director) of the Corporation.
(e) Redemption at Option of the Corporation. The Corporation shall have
---------------------------------------
the right to redeem shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the following
provisions:
(i) The Corporation shall not have any right to redeem shares of the
Series A Preferred Stock prior to, with respect to any share of the Series A
Preferred Stock, the 30th day after the tenth anniversary of the issuance of

Corporation shall have the right, at its sole option and election, to redeem the
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part, at any time at
a redemption price (the "Series A Redemption Price") per share equal to the
-------------------------
Liquidation Preference as of the redemption date;
(ii) Notice of any redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be
mailed at least ten, but not more than 60, days prior to the date fixed for
redemption to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, at such
holder's address as it appears on the books of the Corporation. In order to
facilitate the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Board of
Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of Series A
Preferred Stock to be redeemed, or may cause the transfer books of the
Corporation to be closed for the transfer of the Series A Preferred Stock, not
more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption;
(iii) Within two Business Days after the redemption date specified in the
notice given pursuant to paragraph (ii) above and the surrender of the
certificate(s) representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation
shall pay to the holder of the shares
-6-
<PAGE>
being redeemed the Series A Redemption Price therefor. Such payment shall be
made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by
such holder or by overnight delivery (by a nationally recognized courier) of a
bank check to such holder's address as it appears on the books of the
Corporation; and
(iv) Effective upon the date of the notice given pursuant to paragraph
(ii) above, notwithstanding that any certificate for such shares shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the shares represented thereby shall no
longer be deemed outstanding, the rights to receive dividends thereon shall
cease to accrue from and after the date of redemption designated in the notice
of redemption and all rights of the holders of the shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock called for redemption shall cease and terminate, excepting only
the right to receive the Series A Redemption Price therefor in accordance with
paragraph (iii) above and the right to convert such shares into shares of Class
A Common Stock until the close of business on the third Business Day preceding
the redemption date, as provided in Section 4.3(i).
(f) Redemption at Option of Holder.
------------------------------
(i) No holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have any right
to require the Corporation to redeem any shares of Series A Preferred Stock
prior to, with respect to any share of the Series A Preferred Stock, the 30th
day after the twentieth anniversary of the issuance of such share. Thereafter,
subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 4.3(c)(i), each holder of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right, at the sole option and
election of such holder, to require the Corporation to redeem all (but not less
than all) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by such holder at a
price per share equal to the Series A Redemption Price;
(ii) The holder of any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock may
exercise such holder's right to require the Corporation to redeem such shares by
surrendering for such purpose to the Corporation, at its principal office or at
such other office or agency maintained by the Corporation for that purpose,
certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed,
accompanied by a written notice stating that such holder elects to require the
Corporation to redeem all (but not less than all) of such shares in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 4.3(f), which notice may specify an account
for delivery of the Series A Redemption Price;
(iii) Within two Business Days after the surrender of such certificates,
the Corporation shall pay to the holder of the shares being redeemed the Series
A Redemption Price therefor. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account designated by such holder or by
overnight delivery (by a nationally recognized courier) of a bank check to such
holder's address as it appears on the books of the Corporation; and
(iv) Such redemptions shall be deemed to have been made at the close of
business on the date of the receipt of such notice and of such surrender of the
certificates representing the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to be
redeemed and the rights of
-7-
<PAGE>
the holder thereof, except for the right to receive the Series A Redemption
Price therefor in accordance herewith, shall cease on such date of receipt and
surrender.
(g) Reacquired Shares. Any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock
-----------------
redeemed or purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner
whatsoever shall be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof.
All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued
shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued pursuant to Section 4.2(c) as part
of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of
the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions or restrictions on issuance
set forth herein.
(h) Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.
--------------------------------------
(i) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution or payment
to holders of Junior Stock, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to be paid an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference with
respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock.
(ii) If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment in
full to such holders of the sums which such holders are entitled to receive in
such case, then all of the assets available for distribution to holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall be distributed among
and paid to such holders ratably in proportion to the amounts that would be
payable to such holders if such assets were sufficient to permit payment in
full.
(iii) Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into
any other Person nor the sale or other distribution to another Person of all or
substantially all the assets, property or business of the Corporation, shall be
deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation for
purposes of this Section 4.3(h).
(i) Conversion.
----------
(i) Stockholders' Right To Convert. No holder of shares of Series A
------------------------------
Preferred Stock shall have any right to convert any shares of Series A Preferred
Stock into Class A Common Stock or any other securities of the Corporation prior
to July 17, 2006. Thereafter, each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by the
Initial Holders or a Qualified Transferee shall be convertible, at the sole
option and election of the Initial Holders or Qualified Transferee, into fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock.
(ii) Number of Shares of Class A Common Stock Issuable upon Conversion.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (i) above shall be
equal to the product of (A) the Series A Conversion Rate as of the date of the
applicable notice pursuant to
-8-
<PAGE>
paragraph (iv) below, multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock to be converted.
(iii) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
-----------------
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation shall not be required to
issue fractions of shares upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred
Stock or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional shares. In lieu
of fractional shares, the Corporation may pay therefor, at the time of any
conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as herein provided, an amount
in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Market Price of a share of
Class A Common Stock on such date.
(iv) Mechanics of Conversion. The Initial Holders or Qualified Transferee
-----------------------
may exercise its option to convert by surrendering for such purpose to the
Corporation, at its principal office or such other office or agency maintained
by the Corporation for that purpose, certificates representing the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, accompanied by a written notice,
delivered in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, stating
that such holder elects to convert such shares in accordance with this Section
4.3(i). The date of receipt of such certificates and notice by the Corporation
at such office shall be the conversion date (the "Series A Conversion Date").
------------------------
If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be
endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in
form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or
his or its attorney duly authorized in writing. Within ten Business Days after
the Series A Conversion Date (or, if at the time of such surrender the shares of
Class A Common Stock are not listed or admitted for trading on any national
securities exchange and are not quoted on NASDAQ or any similar service, within
ten Business Days of the determination of the Market Price pursuant to the
Appraisal Procedure), the Corporation shall issue to such holder a number of
shares of Class A Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred
Stock are convertible pursuant to paragraph (ii) above. Certificates
representing such shares of Class A Common Stock shall be delivered to such
holder at such holder's address as it appears on the books of the Corporation.
(v) Termination of Rights. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock which
---------------------
shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be
deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including
the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall immediately cease and
terminate on the Series A Conversion Date, except only the right of the holders
thereof to receive shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange therefor and
payment of any declared and unpaid dividends thereon.
(vi) No Conversion Charge or Tax. The issuance and delivery of
---------------------------
certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the holder of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock for any issue or transfer tax, or other incidental
expense in respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the
securities represented thereby, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by
the Corporation.
-9-
<PAGE>
(vii) Reorganization, Reclassification and Merger Adjustment. If there
------------------------------------------------------
occurs any capital reorganization or any reclassification of the Class A Common
Stock of the Corporation, the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or
into another Person (other than a merger or consolidation of the Corporation in
which the Corporation is the continuing corporation and which does not result in
any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of its Class A Common
Stock) or the sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Corporation to another Person, then each share of Series A Preferred Stock
shall thereafter be convertible into the same kind and amounts of securities
(including shares of stock) or other assets, or both, which were issuable or
distributable to the holders of outstanding Class A Common Stock of the
Corporation upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale or conveyance, in respect of that number of shares of Class A Common Stock
into which such share of Series A Preferred Stock might have been converted
immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance; and, in any such case, appropriate adjustments (as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, whose
determination shall be conclusive) shall be made to assure that the provisions
set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be
practicable, in relation to any securities or other assets thereafter
deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.
(viii) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the securities or other property
--------------------
deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be
adjusted pursuant to the provisions hereof, the Corporation shall promptly give
written notice thereof to each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock at
such holder's address as it appears on the transfer books of the Corporation and
shall forthwith file, at its principal executive office and with any transfer
agent or agents for the Series A Preferred Stock and the Class A Common Stock, a
certificate, signed by the Chairman of the Board, President or one of the Vice
Presidents of the Corporation, and by its Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or
one of its Assistant Treasurers, stating the securities or other property
deliverable per share of Series A Preferred Stock calculated to the nearest cent
or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share and setting forth in reasonable
detail the method of calculation and the facts requiring such adjustment and

----------
convertible into shares of Common Stock as follows:
(i) Optional Conversion. On the IPO Date, each share of Series C
-------------------
Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be convertible, at the option of the

(ii) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be
-----------------
issued upon conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock. In lieu of any
fractional share to which the holder would otherwise be entitled after
determination of the aggregate full number of shares of Common Stock issuable in
respect of the Series C Preferred Stock then being converted, the Corporation
shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the IPO Price.
(iii) Mechanics of Conversion. All holders of record of shares of Series C
-----------------------
Preferred Stock will be given at least 30 but not more than 60 days' prior
written notice of the IPO Date and the place designated for conversion of all
shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4.5(e). Such notice
will be sent by first class or registered mail, postage prepaid, to each record
holder of Series C Preferred Stock at such holder's address last shown on the

of the Corporation if it serves as its own transfer agent). Within ten days
after the date of such notice, each holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock
shall notify the Corporation as to whether it desires to receive shares of Class
A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock. Any holder who fails to give such notice
shall be deemed to have selected Class A Common Stock. On or before the IPO

designated in such notice. If required by the Corporation, certificates
surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation,
duly executed by the registered holder or his or its attorney duly authorized in
writing. As soon as practicable after the IPO Date and the surrender of the
certificate(s) representing shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation
shall issue and deliver to such holder, or on his or its written order to his or
its nominees, one or more certificates for the number of whole shares of Common

-14-
<PAGE>
but unissued stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series C
Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as
shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Before taking any action which
would cause Common Stock, upon the conversion of Series C Preferred Stock, to be
issued below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock, the Corporation
will take any corporate action that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be
necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid

Stock.
(v) Termination of Rights. All shares of Series C Preferred Stock which
---------------------

and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to
receive notices and to vote, shall immediately cease and terminate on the IPO
Date, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common
Stock in exchange therefor. On and as of the IPO Date, the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to be outstanding, and the
holder thereof shall be entitled to exercise and enjoy all rights with respect
to such shares of Common Stock, including the rights, if any, to receive notices
and to vote. Shares of Series C Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock will
be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock
without designation as to series, and may thereafter be issued, whether or not
designated as shares of Series C Preferred Stock.
(vi) No Conversion Charge or Tax. The issuance and delivery of
---------------------------
certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of Series
C Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the holder of shares of Series
C Preferred Stock for any issue or transfer tax, or other incidental expense in
respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the securities
represented thereby, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the
Corporation.

-----------------------------------
times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the shares
of Series C Preferred Stock the maximum number of its authorized but unissued
shares of Class A Common Stock as is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to
permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and
shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of
Class A Common Stock if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized but
unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to permit such reservation or to permit
the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock.
(f) Redemption at Option of the Corporation. The Corporation shall have
---------------------------------------
the right to redeem shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the following

the redemption date;

fixed for such redemption;

cease to accrue from and after the date of redemption designated in the notice
of redemption and all rights of the holders of the shares of the Series C
Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, as the case may be, called for

receive out of the assets of the Corporation, whether such assets are capital or
surplus of any nature, after payment is made to holders of all series of
preferred stock ranking senior to the Series F Preferred Stock with respect to
rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up, but before any payment shall
be made or any assets distributed to the holders of Common Stock or any series
of preferred stock ranking junior to the Series F Preferred Stock with respect
to rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up, an amount equal to the
Liquidation Preference and no more.
(ii) If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation the assets of the Corporation to be distributed are insufficient to
permit the payment to all holders of Series F Preferred Stock and any other
series of preferred stock ranking on a parity with Series F Preferred Stock with
respect to rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to receive their
full preferential amounts, the entire assets of the Corporation shall be
distributed among the holders of Series F Preferred Stock and all such other
series ratably in accordance with their respective Liquidation Preference.
(iii) After payment to the holders of Series F Preferred Stock of the
amounts set forth in paragraph (i) above, the entire remaining assets and funds

(d) Voting Rights.
-------------
(i) The holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall not have any
right to vote on any matters to be voted on by the stockholders of the
Corporation, except as otherwise provided in paragraph (ii) below or as provided
by law, and the shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall not be included in
determining the number of shares voting or entitled to vote on any such matters
(other than the matters described in paragraph (ii) below or as otherwise
required by law).
(ii) The affirmative vote of holders of not less than a majority of
Series F Preferred Stock shall be required to (A) authorize, increase the
authorized number of shares of or issue (including on conversion or exchange of
any convertible or exchangeable securities or by reclassification) any shares of
any class or classes of stock ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series F
Preferred Stock or any additional shares of Series F Preferred Stock, (B)
authorize, adopt or approve each amendment to this Restated Certificate of
Incorporation that would increase or decrease the par value of the shares of
Series F Preferred Stock, alter or change the powers, preferences or rights of
the shares of Series F Preferred Stock or alter or change the powers,
preferences or rights of any other capital stock of the Corporation if such
alteration or change results in such capital stock ranking senior to or pari
passu with the Series F Preferred Stock, (C) amend, alter or repeal any
provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation so as to affect the
shares of Series F Preferred Stock adversely, or (D) authorize or issue any
security convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to purchase
or otherwise receive any shares of any class or classes of stock senior to or
pari passu with the Series F Preferred Stock.
(e) Conversion. The shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be
----------
convertible into shares of Common Stock or Senior Common Stock as follows:
(i) Optional Conversion. Each share of Series F Preferred Stock shall be
-------------------
convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to
time, into one fully paid and non-assessable share of Non-Tracked Common Stock;
provided that, unless and until the Tracked Common Stock shall be convertible
into Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock in accordance with Section
4.10(e)(iii), each of the first 631.27 shares of Series F Preferred Stock
converted pursuant to this paragraph shall be convertible into one fully paid
and non-assessable share of Class D Common Stock.
(ii) Automatic Conversion. In the event that the Series C Preferred Stock
--------------------
is converted into Common Stock in accordance with Section 4.5(e), then on the
IPO Date, each share of Series F Preferred Stock then outstanding shall
automatically be converted into one fully paid and non-assessable share of
Senior Common Stock.
(iii) Mechanics of Optional Conversion. In order for a holder of Series F
--------------------------------
Preferred Stock to convert such shares into shares of Common Stock, such holder
shall surrender the certificate(s) for such shares of Series F Preferred Stock
at the office of the transfer agent for the Series F Preferred Stock (or if the
Corporation serves as its own
-22-
<PAGE>
transfer agent, at the principal office of the Corporation), together with
written notice that such holder elects to convert all or any number of the
shares of the Series F Preferred Stock represented by such certificate(s). If
required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be
endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in
form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or
his or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of receipt of such
certificates and notice by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the
Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) shall be the conversion date (the
"Optional Conversion Date"). The Corporation shall, within ten Business Days
------------------------
after the Optional Conversion Date, issue and deliver at such office to such
holder of Series F Preferred Stock, or to his or its nominees, one or more
certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock (and any shares of
Series F Preferred Stock represented by the certificate delivered to the
Corporation by the holder thereof that are not converted into Common Stock)
issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof.
(iv) Mechanics of Automatic Conversion. All holders of record of shares
---------------------------------
of Series F Preferred Stock will be given at least 30 but not more than 60 days'
prior written notice of the IPO Date and the place designated for conversion of
all shares of Series F Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4.8(e). Such
notice will be sent by first class or registered mail, postage prepaid, to each
record holder of Series F Preferred Stock at such holder's address last shown on
the records of the transfer agent for the Series F Preferred Stock (or the
records of the Corporation if it serves as its own transfer agent). On or
before the IPO Date, each holder of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall
surrender his or its certificate(s) for all such shares to the Corporation at
the place designated in such notice. If required by the Corporation,
certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a
written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the
Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his or its attorney duly
authorized in writing. As soon as practicable after the IPO Date and the
surrender of the certificates representing shares of Series F Preferred Stock,
the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder, or on his or its written
order to his or its nominees, one or more certificates for the number of whole
shares of Senior Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with
the provisions hereof.
(v) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when the
---------------------
Series F Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of
its authorized but unissued stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion
of the Series F Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of
Common Stock and Senior Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to
effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock.
Before taking any action which would cause Common Stock or Senior Common Stock,
upon the conversion of Series F Preferred Stock, to be issued below the then par
value of the shares of Common Stock or Senior Common Stock, as the case may be,
the Corporation will take any corporate action that may, in the opinion of its
counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally
issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock or Senior Common
Stock, as the case may be, to the holders of Series F Preferred Stock.
-23-
<PAGE>
(vi) Adjustments for Dividends. Upon any conversion of Series F Preferred
-------------------------
Stock, no adjustment to the conversion ratio shall be made for declared and
unpaid dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or
on the Common Stock or Senior Common Stock delivered upon conversion.
(vii) Termination of Rights. All shares of Series F Preferred Stock which
---------------------
shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided or, as to shares
of Series F Preferred Stock which are subject to automatic conversion pursuant
to paragraph (ii) above, which have not been so surrendered prior to the IPO
Date, shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to
such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall
immediately cease and terminate on the Optional Conversion Date or the IPO Date,
as the case may be, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive
shares of Common Stock or Senior Common Stock, as the case may be, in exchange
therefor and payment of any declared and unpaid dividends thereon. On and as of
the Optional Conversion Date or the IPO Date, the shares of Common Stock or
Senior Common Stock, as the case may be, issuable upon such conversion shall be
deemed to be outstanding, and the holder thereof shall be entitled to exercise
and enjoy all rights with respect to such shares of Common Stock or Senior
Common Stock, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote.
Shares of Series F Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or Senior Common
Stock will be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock or preferred stock without designation as to class or series, and may
thereafter be issued, whether or not designated as shares of Class A Common
Stock or Series F Preferred Stock.
(viii) No Conversion Charge or Tax. The issuance and delivery of
---------------------------
certificates for shares of Common Stock or Senior Common Stock upon the
conversion of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to
the holder of shares of Series F Preferred Stock for any issue or transfer tax,
or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance or delivery of such
certificates or the securities represented thereby, all of which taxes and
expenses shall be paid by the Corporation.
(ix) Reorganization, Reclassification and Merger Adjustment. If there
------------------------------------------------------
occurs any capital reorganization or any reclassification of the Common Stock of
the Corporation, the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into
another Person (other than a merger or consolidation of the Corporation in which
the Corporation is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification or change of outstanding shares of its Common Stock) or the
sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation
to another Person, then each share of Series F Preferred Stock shall thereafter
be convertible into the same kind and amounts of securities (including shares of
stock) or other assets, or both, which were issuable or distributable to the
holders of outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, in respect of that
number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series F Preferred
Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance; and, in any such
case, appropriate adjustments (as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the
-24-
<PAGE>
Corporation, whose determination shall be conclusive) shall be made to assure
that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly
as reasonably may be practicable, in relation to any securities or other assets
thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock.
(f) Certain Restrictions.
--------------------
(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.8(b), cash dividends on
the Series F Preferred Stock may not be declared, paid or set apart for payment,
nor may the Corporation redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of
Series F Preferred Stock, if (A) the Corporation is not solvent or would be
rendered insolvent thereby or (B) at such time the terms and provisions of any
law or agreement of the Corporation, including any agreement relating to its
indebtedness, specifically prohibit such declaration, payment or setting apart
for payment or such redemption, purchase or other acquisition, or provide that
such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or such redemption,
purchase or other acquisition would constitute a violation or breach thereof or
a default thereunder.
(ii) The Corporation shall not permit any Subsidiary of the Corporation,
or cause any other Person, to make any distribution with respect to, or purchase
or otherwise acquire for consideration, any shares of Common Stock or other
shares of capital stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity
basis with the Series F Preferred Stock unless the Corporation could, pursuant
to paragraph (i) above, make such distribution or purchase or otherwise acquire
such shares at such time and in such manner.
(g) Redemption. The Series F Preferred Stock is not redeemable.
----------
(h) Sinking Fund. There shall be no sinking fund for the payment of
------------
dividends or Liquidation Preferences on the Series F Preferred Stock.
4.9 Powers, Preferences and Rights of the Senior Common Stock. The
---------------------------------------------------------
powers, preferences and rights of the Senior Common Stock, and the
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof are as follows:
(a) Ranking. The Senior Common Stock shall rank, with respect to the

payment of dividends and the distribution of assets on liquidation, dissolution

ranking senior to the Senior Common Stock with respect to rights on liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, but before any payment shall be made or any assets
distributed to the holders of Common Stock or any series of preferred stock
ranking junior to the Senior Common Stock with respect to rights on liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference and no
more.
(ii) If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation the assets of the Corporation to be distributed are insufficient to
permit the payment to all holders of Senior Common Stock and any other series of
preferred stock ranking on a parity with Senior Common Stock with respect to
rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to receive their full
preferential amounts, the entire assets of the Corporation shall be distributed
among the holders of Senior Common Stock and all such other series ratably in
accordance with their respective Liquidation Preference.
(iii) After payment to the holders of Senior Common Stock of the amounts
set forth in paragraph (i) above, the entire remaining assets and funds of the

dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.
(iv) Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into
any other Person nor the sale or other distribution to another Person of all or
substantially all the assets, property or business of the Corporation, shall be
deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation for
purposes of this Section 4.9(c).
(d) Voting Rights.

right to vote on any matters to be voted on by the stockholders of the

-26-
<PAGE>
Certificate of Incorporation that would increase or decrease the par value of

passu with the Senior Common Stock, (C) amend, alter or repeal any provision of
this Restated Certificate of Incorporation so as to affect the shares of Senior

number of the shares of the Senior Common Stock represented by such
certificate(s). If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for
conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed
by the registered holder or his or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The
date of receipt of such certificates and notice by the transfer agent (or by the

conversion date. The Corporation shall, within ten Business Days after the
conversion date, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Senior
Common Stock, or to his or its nominees, one or more certificates for the number
of whole shares of Common Stock (and any shares of Senior Common Stock

-27-
<PAGE>
Senior Common Stock, to be issued below the then par value of the shares of
Common Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action that may, in the
opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly
and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock to the
holders of Senior Common Stock.
(iv) Adjustments for Dividends. Upon any conversion of Senior Common

the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall immediately cease and
terminate on the conversion date, except only the right of the holders thereof
to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and payment of any
declared and unpaid dividends thereon. On and as of the conversion date, the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to be
outstanding, and the holder thereof shall be entitled to exercise and enjoy all
rights with respect to such shares of Common Stock, including the rights, if
any, to receive notices and to vote. Shares of Senior Common Stock converted

the Corporation is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification or change of outstanding shares of its Common Stock) or the
sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation
to another Person, then each share of Senior Common Stock shall thereafter be
convertible into the same kind and amounts of securities (including shares of
stock) or other assets, or both, which were issuable or distributable to the
holders of outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, in respect of that
number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Senior Common Stock
might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization,

---------------------------------------
Amount").
- ------
(ii) Dividends on Tracked Common Stock. Dividends on the Tracked Common
---------------------------------
Stock may be declared and paid only out of the lesser of (A) the funds of the
Corporation legally available therefor and (B) the Tracked Business Available

redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration, any shares of Tracked
Common Stock unless concurrently therewith the Corporation shall declare or pay
cash dividends on, or redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration,
as the case may be, on the same terms, all shares of Tracked Common Stock
ratably in accordance with the number of shares of each class of Tracked Common
Stock then outstanding.
(iii) Discrimination in Dividends Among the Tracked and Non-Tracked Common
--------------------------------------------------------------------

voting rights as hereinafter provided, and shall be entitled to notice of any
stockholders' meeting and to vote upon such matters as provided herein and in
the by-laws of the Corporation, and as may be provided by law. Holders of any
class of Common Stock shall not be entitled to cumulate their votes for any
purpose. Except as otherwise required by law or provided herein, regardless of
the number of shares of any class of Common Stock then outstanding, each class
of Common Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes enumerated below and
the number of votes or fractional votes to which each share of a particular
class of Common Stock shall be entitled shall be the quotient determined by

vote of a majority vote of the Class C Common Stock, the presence of a majority
of the outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock shall also be required for a

(iii) In any matter requiring a separate class vote of holders of any
class of Common Stock or a separate vote of two or more classes of Common Stock
voting together as a single class, for the purposes of such a class vote, each
share of Common Stock of such classes shall be entitled to one vote per share.
(iv) In the event that the Corporation shall have received an opinion of
regulatory counsel of nationally recognized standing to the effect that the
rules, regulations or policies of the Federal Communications Commission (the
"FCC") permit the Class A Common Stock and the Voting Preference Common Stock
---
(x) to be voted as a single class on all matters, (y) to be treated as a single
class for purposes of all quorum requirements and (z) to have one vote per
share, then, unless the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have
determined, within 30 days after the date of receipt of such opinion, that
obtaining the FCC consent described below would be reasonably expected
-30-
<PAGE>
to have a significant detrimental effect on the Corporation, the Corporation
shall, upon the affirmative vote of 66-2/3% or more of the Class A Common Stock,
seek consent from the FCC to permit the Class A Common Stock and Voting
Preference Common Stock to vote and act as a single class in the manner
described above. From and after the date that such consent is obtained, the
Class A Common Stock and the Voting Preference Common Stock shall be voted as a
single class on all matters, shall be treated as a single class for purposes of
all quorum requirements, and shall have one vote per share; provided, that the
voting rights of the Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock and Class D
Common Stock and the Preferred Stock shall remain unaffected.
(v) The holders of shares of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to vote as
a separate class on any amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of
this Restated Certificate of Incorporation that adversely affects the powers,
preferences or special rights of the holders of the Class B Common Stock.
(d) Dissolution, Liquidation or Winding Up. Upon the dissolution, liquidation
--------------------------------------
or winding up of the Corporation, after any preferential amounts to be
distributed to the holders of the Preferred Stock and any other class or series
of stock having a preference over the Common Stock then outstanding have been
paid or declared and funds sufficient for the payment thereof in full set apart
for payment, (i) the holders of the Tracked Common Stock shall be entitled to
receive pro rata the Tracked Business Available Liquidation Amount and (ii) the

thereof, at any time, be converted into one fully paid and non-assessable share

(iii) In the event that the Corporation shall have received an opinion of
regulatory counsel of nationally recognized standing to the effect that the
rules, regulations or policies of the FCC permit the conversion of shares of
Tracked Common Stock into Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, then,
unless the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have determined, within
30 days after receipt of such opinion, that permitting such conversion would be
reasonably expected to have a significant detrimental effect on the Corporation,
shares of Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock shall, upon the
affirmative vote of 66-2/3% or more of the Class
-31-
<PAGE>
A Common Stock, be convertible as follows: (x) each share of Class C Common

7.2 Advancement of Expenses. The Corporation shall, from time to time,
-----------------------
reimburse or advance to any Director or officer or other person entitled to
indemnification hereunder the funds necessary for payment of expenses, including
attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any Proceeding,
in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding; provided, however, that,
if (and only if) required by the GCL, such expenses incurred by or on behalf of
any Director or officer or other person may be paid in advance of the final
disposition of a Proceeding only upon receipt by the Corporation of an
undertaking, by or on behalf of such Director or officer (or other person
indemnified hereunder), to repay any such amount so advanced if it shall
ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no
further right of appeal that such Director, officer or other person is not
entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.
7.3 Rights Not Exclusive. The rights to indemnification and reimbursement or
--------------------
advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VII
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking
indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses may have or
hereafter be entitled under any statute, this Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, the Bylaws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or
disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
7.4 Continuing Rights. The rights to indemnification and reimbursement or
-----------------
advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VII
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director or officer (or
other person indemnified hereunder), shall inure to the benefit of the
executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such person, and in
either case, shall inure whether or not the claim asserted is based on matters
which antedate the adoption of this Article VII.
7.5 Insurance. The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain
---------
insurance on
-43-
<PAGE>
behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation, as a
director, officer, employee or agent of an Other Entity, against any liability
asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity,
or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the Corporation
would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the
provisions of this Article VII, the Bylaws or under Section 145 of the GCL or
any other provision of law.
7.6 Contract Rights; No Repeal. The provisions of this Article VII shall be
--------------------------
a contract between the Corporation, on the one hand, and each Director and
officer who serves in such capacity at any time while this Article VII is in
effect and any other person indemnified hereunder, on the other hand, pursuant
to which the Corporation and each such Director, officer, or other person intend
to be legally bound. No repeal or modification of this Article VII shall affect
any rights or obligations with respect to any state of facts then or, heretofore
or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such
state of facts.
7.7 Enforceability; Burden of Proof. The rights to indemnification and
-------------------------------
reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to,
this Article VII shall be enforceable by any person entitled to such
indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses in any court of
competent jurisdiction. The burden of proving that such indemnification or
reimbursement or advancement of expenses is not appropriate shall be on the
Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of
Directors, its independent legal counsel and its stockholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such action that such indemnification
or reimbursement or advancement of expenses is proper in the circumstances nor
an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors,
its independent legal counsel and its stockholders) that such person is not
entitled to such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses
shall constitute a defense to the action or create a presumption that such
person is not so entitled. Such a person shall also be indemnified for any
expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right
to such indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses, in whole or
in part, in any such Proceeding.
7.8 Service at the Request of the Corporation. Any Director or officer of
-----------------------------------------
the Corporation serving in any capacity in (a) another corporation of which a
majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of its directors is
held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation or (b) any employee benefit
plan of the Corporation or any corporation referred to in clause (a) shall be
deemed to be doing so at the request of the Corporation.
7.9 Right to Be Covered by Applicable Law. Any person entitled to be
-------------------------------------
indemnified or to reimbursement or advancement of expenses as a matter of right
pursuant to this Article VII may elect to have the right to indemnification or
reimbursement or advancement of expenses interpreted on the basis of the
applicable law in effect at the time of the occurrence of the event or events
giving rise to the applicable Proceeding, to the extent permitted by law, or on
the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time such indemnification or
reimbursement or advancement of expenses is sought. Such election shall be
made, by a notice in writing to the Corporation, at the time indemnification or
reimbursement or advancement of expenses is sought; provided, however, that if
no such notice is given, the right to indemnification or reimbursement or
-44-
<PAGE>
advancement of expenses shall be determined by the law in effect at the time
indemnification or reimbursement or advancement of expenses is sought.
ARTICLE VIII
No Director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or
any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
Director, provided that this provision does not eliminate the liability of the
Director (i) for any breach of the Director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation
or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the GCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the Director
derived an improper personal benefit. For purposes of the prior sentence, the
term "damages" shall, to the extent permitted by law, include without
limitation, any judgment, fine, amount paid in settlement, penalty, punitive
damages, excise or other tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan,
or expense of any nature (including, without limitation, counsel fees and
disbursements). Each person who serves as a Director of the Corporation while
this Article VIII is in effect shall be deemed to be doing so in reliance on the
provisions of this Article VIII, and neither the amendment or repeal of this
Article VIII, nor the adoption of any provision of this Restated Certificate of
Incorporation inconsistent with this Article VIII, shall apply to or have any
effect on the liability or alleged liability of any Director of the Corporation
for, arising out of, based upon, or in connection with any acts or omissions of
such Director occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, or adoption of an
inconsistent provision. The provisions of this Article VIII are cumulative and
shall be in addition to and independent of any and all other limitations on or
eliminations of the liabilities of Directors of the Corporation, as such,
whether such limitations or eliminations arise under or are created by any law,
rule, regulation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
Directors, or otherwise.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned officer of the Corporation has
executed this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation this 14th
day of May, 1999.

absence or disability, by the President), or by the Secretary, immediately upon
receipt of a written request therefor by stockholders holding in the aggregate
not less than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation at the time
entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders. If such officers or the
Board of Directors shall fail to call such meeting within 20 days after receipt

purposes for which such meeting is called, to be given personally or by mail,
not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting, to each
stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If such notice is
mailed, it shall be deemed to have been given to a stockholder when deposited in
the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his
address as it appears on the record of stockholders of the Corporation, or, if
he shall have filed with the Secretary a written request that notices to him be
mailed to some other address, then directed to him at such other address. Such
further notice shall be given as may be required by law.
<PAGE>
Whenever notice is required to be given to stockholders hereunder, a
written waiver, signed by a stockholder, whether before or after the time stated
therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Neither the business to be
transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the
stockholders need be specified in a written waiver of notice. The attendance of
any stockholder at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice
of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express
purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any
business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
1.4 Quorum. Except as otherwise required by law or by the
------
Certificate of Incorporation, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders

1.5 Voting. Except as set forth in the Certificate of
------
Incorporation, if, pursuant to Section 5.5 of these Bylaws, a record date has
been fixed, every holder of record of shares entitled to vote at a meeting of
stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share outstanding in his
name on the books of the Corporation at the close of business on such record

entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for
each share of stock standing in his name on the books of the Corporation at the
close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice of the
meeting is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day
next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. Except as otherwise
required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the vote of a majority
of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any meeting at which a quorum
is present shall be sufficient for the transaction of any business at such
meeting.
1.6 Voting by Ballot. No vote of the stockholders need be taken by
----------------
written ballot or conducted by inspectors of election, unless otherwise required
by law. Any vote which need not be taken by ballot may be conducted in any
manner approved by the meeting.

-----------
stockholders, the stockholders present in person or by proxy shall have the
power to adjourn any such meeting from time to time until a quorum is present.
Notice of any adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation need not
be given if the place, date and hour thereof are announced at the meeting at
which the adjournment is taken, provided, however, that if the adjournment is
for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date for the
adjourned meeting is fixed pursuant to Section 5.5 of these Bylaws, a notice of
the adjourned meeting, conforming to the requirements of Section 1.3 hereof,
shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.

-------
the stockholders or to express consent to or dissent from corporate action
without a meeting may, by a written instrument signed by such stockholder or his
attorney-in-fact, authorize another person or persons to vote at any such
meeting and express such consent or dissent for him by proxy. No such proxy
shall be voted or acted upon after the expiration of three years from the date
of such proxy, unless such proxy provides for a longer period. Every proxy shall
be revocable at the pleasure of the stockholder executing it, except in those
cases where applicable law provides that a proxy shall be irrevocable. A
stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the
meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the
proxy or by filing another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the
Secretary.
1.9 Organization; Procedure. At every meeting of stockholders the
-----------------------
presiding officer shall be the Chairman of the Board or, in the event of his
absence or disability, the President or, in the event of his absence or
disability, a presiding officer chosen by a majority of the stockholders present
in person or by proxy. The Secretary, or in the event of his absence or
disability, the Assistant Secretary, if any, or if there be no Assistant
Secretary, in the absence of the Secretary, an appointee of the presiding
officer, shall act as Secretary of the meeting. The order of business and all
other matters of procedure at every meeting of stockholders may be determined by
such presiding officer.

------------------------------------------
extent permitted by law, whenever the vote of the stockholders at a meeting
thereof is required or permitted to be taken for or in connection with any
corporate action, such action may be taken without a meeting, without prior
notice and without a vote of stockholders, if the holders of outstanding stock
having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to
authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote
thereon were present and voted shall consent in writing to such corporate action
being taken. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a
meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those
stockholders who have not so consented in writing.

Agent, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest then so becoming
due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Company or the
Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the
benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for
the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities and shall notify the
Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company
or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the
money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The
Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to
the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon
complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability
for the money delivered to the Trustee.
SECTION 2.05. Securityholder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as
--------------------
current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it
of the names and addresses of Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the
Registrar, the Company shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the
Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment
date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in
such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names
and addresses of Securityholders.
SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. The Securities shall be issued
---------------------
in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a
Security for registration of transfer and in compliance with the Appendix. When
a Security is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer,
the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of
Section 8-401(a)(l) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met. When Securities are
presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal
principal amount at maturity of Securities of other denominations, the Registrar
shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit
registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate Securities (in the form of Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as
appropriate) at the Registrar's request. The Company may require payment of a
sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in
connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section 2.06. The
Company shall not be required to make and the Registrar need not register
transfers or exchanges of Securities selected for redemption (except, in the
case of Securities to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be
redeemed) or any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of
Securities to be redeemed.
Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any
Security, the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent
and the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Security is
registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving
payment of principal of and interest, if any, on such Security and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the
Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, or the
Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global
Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interest in such Global Security
may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (i) the Holder of
such Global Security (or its agent) or (ii) any Holder of a beneficial interest
in such Global Security, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such
Global Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.
All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the
terms of this Indenture will evidence the same debt and will be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such
transfer or exchange.
SECTION 2.07. Replacement Securities. If a mutilated Security is
----------------------
surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the
Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue
and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of
Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the Holder (i)
satisfies the Company and the Trustee within a reasonable time after such Holder
has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does
not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (ii) makes such
request to the Company or the Trustee prior to the Security being acquired by a
protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code
(a "protected purchaser") and (iii) satisfies any other reasonable requirements
of the Trustee. If required by the Company or the Trustee, such Holder shall
furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the
Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar
from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company
and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a
Security. In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken
Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its
discretion may pay such Security instead of issuing a new Security in
replacement thereof.
Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company.
The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude
(to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken
Securities.
SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any
----------------------
time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled
by it, those delivered to it for cancelation and those described in this Section
2.08 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 13.06, a Security does not cease to
be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the
Security.
If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to
them that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.
If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with
this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay
all principal and interest and liquidated damages payable on that date with
respect to the Securities (or portions
<PAGE>
32
thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and the Paying Agent is
not prohibited from paying such money to the Securityholders on that date
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such
Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them
ceases to accrue.
SECTION 2.09. Temporary Securities. In the event that Definitive
--------------------
Securities (as defined in the Appendix) are to be issued under the terms of this
Indenture, until such Definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company
may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary
Securities shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Securities but may
have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities.
Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate Definitive Securities and deliver them in exchange for temporary
Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency
of the Company, without charge to the Holder.
SECTION 2.10. Cancelation. The Company at any time may deliver
-----------
Securities to the Trustee for cancelation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent
shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration
of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all
Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or
cancelation and deliver canceled Securities to the Company pursuant to written
direction by an Officer. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace
Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancelation.
The Trustee shall not authenticate Securities in place of canceled Securities
other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.
SECTION 2.11. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a
------------------
payment of interest on the Securities, the Company shall pay the defaulted
interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any
lawful manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are
Securityholders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or
cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail or cause to be
mailed to each Securityholder a notice that states the special record date, the
payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.
SECTION 2.12. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities
-------------
may use CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall
use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption solely as a convenience to Holders;
provided, however, that any such notice may state that (i) none of the Company,
- -------- -------
any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall be responsible
for selection or use of such CUSIP numbers, (ii) no representation is made as to
the correctness of such CUSIP numbers either as printed on the Securities or as
contained in any notice of a redemption and (iii) reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such
redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

SECTION 3.01. Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem
------------------
Securities pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities, it shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount at maturity
of Securities to be redeemed.
The Company shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this
Section 3.01 at least 60 days before the redemption date unless the Trustee
consents to a shorter period. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers'
Certificate (which Officers' Certificate shall comply with the requirements of
Section 13.04(1) and 13.05) and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel
shall comply with the requirements of Section 13.04(2) and 13.05) from the
Company to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions
herein. If fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the record date
relating to such redemption shall be selected by the Company and given to the
Trustee, which record date shall be not fewer than 15 days after the date of
notice to the Trustee. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to
notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall thereby be void
and of no effect.
SECTION 3.02. Selection of Securities To Be Redeemed. If fewer than
--------------------------------------
all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities
to be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by a method that complies with applicable
--- ----
legal and securities exchange requirements, if any, and that the Trustee in its
sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate and in accordance with
methods generally used at the time of selection by fiduciaries in similar
circumstances. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Securities
not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption
portions of the principal amount at maturity of Securities that have
denominations larger than $1,000. Securities and portions thereof the Trustee
selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 of principal amount at maturity or a whole
multiple of $1,000 thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to
Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for
redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Securities or
portions of Securities to be redeemed.
SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days but not more
--------------------
than 60 days before a date for redemption of Securities, the Company shall mail
a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Securities to be
redeemed at such Holder's registered address.
The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall
state:
(1) the redemption date;
(2) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest to the
redemption date;
(3) the name and address of the Paying Agent;
<PAGE>
34
(4) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the
Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;
(5) if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed,
the certificate numbers of certificated securities and principal amounts at
maturity of the particular Securities to be redeemed;
(6) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption
payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant
to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Securities (or portion thereof)
called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;
(7) the CUSIP number, if any, printed on the Securities being
redeemed; and
(8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy
of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the
Securities.
At the Company's written request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at the Company's expense. In such event,
the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this
Section.
SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of
------------------------------
redemption is mailed, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on
the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon
surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption
price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest and liquidated damages, if
any, to the redemption date; provided, however, that if the redemption date is
-------- -------
after a regular record date and on or prior to the interest payment date, the
accrued interest shall be payable to the Securityholder of the redeemed
Securities registered on the relevant record date. Failure to give notice or any
defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice
to any other Holder.
SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. on
---------------------------
the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the
Company or a Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust)
money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest and
liquidated damages (if any) on all Securities to be redeemed on that date other
than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption that have been
delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancelation. On and after the
redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof
called for redemption so long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent
funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest and
liquidated damages (if any) on, the Securities to be redeemed.
SECTION 3.06. Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a
---------------------------
Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company's expense) a new Security
equal in principal amount at maturity to the unredeemed portion of the Security
surrendered.

be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying
Agent holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all
principal and interest then due and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case
may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the Securityholders on that

(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the

prior to the date on which the exchange offer registration statement is required
by the terms of the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement to be filed with
the Commission.
(b) Following the consummation of the Exchange Offer contemplated by
the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, whether or not required by the
rules and regulations of the Commission, the Company shall file a copy of all
such information and reports with the Commission for public availability within
the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and regulations (unless the
Commission will not accept such a filing) and make such information available to
prospective investors upon request. In addition, the Company shall, for so long
as any Securities remain outstanding, furnish to the holders of Securities, upon
request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4)
under the Securities Act. The Company shall also comply with Section 314(a) of

immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness and
the receipt and application of the net proceeds therefrom (including,

of any Indebtedness so permitted under this clause (4) to a Person other
than the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary or (b) the issuance
(other than of directors' qualifying shares), sale, transfer or other
disposition of shares of Capital Stock or other ownership interests
(including by consolidation or merger) of such Restricted Subsidiary to a
Person other than the Company or another such Restricted Subsidiary, the

respect of statutory obligations, performance, surety or appeal bonds or

Restricted Subsidiary was acquired by the Company (other than Indebtedness
Incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, the transaction or
series of related transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary
was acquired by the Company); provided, however, that on the date such
-------- -------
Restricted Subsidiary is acquired by the Company, the Company would have
been able to Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to clause (1)
above after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant

becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of the asset acquisition, as the
case may be.

(1) in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of
more than one of the categories of Indebtedness permitted pursuant to
clauses (1) through (13) above, the Company shall, in its sole discretion,
be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that

4.03 at the time of such reclassification;

solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may
be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other
provisions of this Section 4.03 permitting such Indebtedness;
(3) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one
of the types of Indebtedness described in this Section 4.03, the Company,

required to include the amount of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses;
and
(4) accrual of interest (including interest paid-in-kind) and the

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.03:
(1) the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall not be
deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange
rates of currencies; and
(2) Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to the Credit Agreement prior to or

Defaults and Remedies
---------------------
SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. An Event of Default occurs under

(1) the Company defaults in any payment of interest on any Security
when due and payable, whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by
Article 10, continued for 30 days;

4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14 or
<PAGE>
53
4.15 (in each case, other than a failure to purchase Securities when
required under Section 4.06 or 4.08);
(5) the Company fails to comply for 60 days after notice with its
other agreements contained in this Indenture or the Securities (other than
those referred to in clause (1), (2), (3) or (4) above;
(6) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary fails to pay any
Indebtedness within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the
acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a
default if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated
exceeds $15,000,000 or its foreign currency equivalent (the "cross
acceleration provision") and such failure continues for 10 days after
receipt of the notice specified below;
(7) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within
the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:
(A) commences a voluntary case;
(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an
involuntary case;
(C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any
substantial part of its property; or
(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors
or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to
insolvency;
(8) a court of competent jurisdiction renders a final judgment or
decree (not subject to appeal) for the payment of money in excess of
$15,000,000 or its foreign currency equivalent at the time it is entered
against the Company or a Significant Subsidiary and such judgment or decree
is not discharged, waived or stayed if:
(A) an enforcement proceeding thereon is commenced by any
creditor;
or
(B) such judgment or decree remains outstanding for a period of
60 days following such judgment and is not discharged, waived or
stayed (the "judgment default provision"); or
(9) any Subsidiary Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect
(except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or any Subsidiary Guarantor
or Person acting by or on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor denies or
disaffirms such Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations under this Indenture or
any Subsidiary Guarantee and such Default continues for 10 days after
receipt of the notice specified below.
The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason
for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is
effected by operation of
<PAGE>
54
law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule
or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.
A Default under clause (4), (5) or (8) shall not constitute an Event
of Default until the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount at maturity of the outstanding Securities notify the Company of
the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified
in clauses (4), (5) or (8) after receipt of such notice. Such notice must
specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a
"Notice of Default".
SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an
-------------
Event of Default specified in clause (7) of Section 6.01 with respect to the
Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount at maturity of the outstanding
Securities by notice to the Company, may declare the principal of and accrued
but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. Upon such a
declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately.
If an Event of Default specified in clause (7) of Section 6.01 with respect to
the Company occurs, the principal of and interest on all the Securities shall
ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or
- ---- -----
other act on the part of the Trustee or any Securityholders. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount at maturity of the Securities by notice to the
Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would
not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default
have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has
become due solely because of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any
subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is
---------------
continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment
of principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of
any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any
of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or
omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy
accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is
exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.
SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in
------------------------
principal amount at maturity of the Securities by notice to the Trustee may
waive an existing Default and its consequences except (i) a Default in the
payment of the Accreted Value of, principal amount at maturity of, or interest
on a Security or (ii) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase
any Security when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (iii) a
Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended
without the consent of each Securityholder affected. When a Default is waived,
it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Default or impair any consequent right.
<PAGE>
55
SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in
--------------------
principal amount at maturity of the Securities may direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee
may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or,
subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to
the rights of other Securityholders or would involve the Trustee in personal
liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed
-------- -------
proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to
taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification
satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused
by taking or not taking such action.
SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to
--------------------
receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no
Securityholder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the
Securities unless:
(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an
Event of Default is continuing;
(2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount at maturity of the
Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee security or indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or
expense;
(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after
receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and
(5) the Holders of a majority in principal amount at maturity of the
Securities do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the
request during such 60-day period.
A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of
another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another
Securityholder.
SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders To Receive Payment. Notwithstanding
-------------------------------------
any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive
payment of principal of and liquidated damages and interest on the Securities
held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the
Securities, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of
such Holder.
SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default
---------------------------
specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust
against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with
interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided
for in Section 7.07.
<PAGE>
56
SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file
---------------------------------
such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Securityholders
allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, any Subsidiary or
Subsidiary Guarantor, their creditors or their property and, unless prohibited
by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any
election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar
functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that
the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.
SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or
-----------
property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in
the following order:
FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;
SECOND: to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to the
extent required by Article 10;
THIRD: to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the
Securities for principal and interest, ratably, and any liquidated damages
without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due
and payable on the Securities for principal, any liquidated damages and
interest, respectively; and
FOURTH: to the Company.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Securityholders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record
date, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder and the Company a notice
that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.
SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement
----------------------
of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee
for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may
require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay
the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the
suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses
made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the
Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of
more than 10% in principal amount at maturity of the Securities.
<PAGE>
57
SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Neither the Company
---------------------------------
nor any Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall at any
time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance
of this Indenture; and the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent
that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of
any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
ARTICLE 7
Trustee
-------
SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has
------------------
occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers
vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of such Person's own affairs.
(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties
as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to
the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However,
the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.
(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own wilful misconduct,
except that:
(1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this
Section;
(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in
good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it
takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction
received by it pursuant to Section 6.05.

received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.
(f) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.
(g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment
of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it.
(h) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01 and to the provisions of the TIA.
SECTION 7.02. Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may conclusively
------------------
rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document
believed to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party
or parties.
(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require
an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be
liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the
Officers' Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.
(c) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through, agents,
attorneys, custodians or nominees and the Trustee shall not be responsible for
any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, attorney, custodian or
nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder.
(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits
to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or
powers; provided, however, that the Trustee's conduct does not constitute wilful
-------- -------
misconduct or negligence.
(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion
of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the
Securities shall be full and complete authorization and protection from
liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in
good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.
(f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the
facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture,
note or other paper or document unless requested in writing to do so by the
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount at maturity of the
Securities at the time outstanding, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make
such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see
fit, and, if the
<PAGE>
59
Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall
be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company,
personally or by agent or attorney.
(g) The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use by the Company
of the proceeds of the Securities.
SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its
-----------------------------
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities
and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-paying
agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with
Sections 7.10 and 7.11.
SECTION 7.04. Trustee's Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be
---------------------
responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of
this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company's
use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any
statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in
connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the
Trustee's certificate of authentication.
SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is
-------------------
continuing and if it is actually known to a Trust Officer, the Trustee shall
mail to each Securityholder notice of the Default within the earlier of 90 days
after it occurs or 30 days after it actually becomes known to a Trust Officer.
Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any
Security (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of
such Security, if any), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a
committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the
notice is in the interests of Securityholders.
SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. As promptly as
------------------------------
practicable after each March 1 beginning with the March 1 following the date of
this Indenture, and in any event prior to May 1 in each year, the Trustee shall
mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of May 1 that complies with
Section 313(a) of the TIA. The Trustee shall also comply with Section 313(b) of
the TIA.
A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders
shall be filed with the Commission and each stock exchange (if any) on which the
Securities are listed. The Company agrees to notify promptly the Trustee in
writing whenever the Securities become listed on any stock exchange and of any
delisting thereof.
SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to
---------------------------
the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The
Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a
trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon
request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it,
including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services.
Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and
experts. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor, jointly and severally shall
indemnify the Trustee, its directors, officers, employees and agents against any
and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
<PAGE>
60
expenses) incurred by or in connection with the administration of this trust and
the performance of its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company of
any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual
knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Company
-------- -------
shall not relieve the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of its indemnity
obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the indemnified
party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Company's expense in the
defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Company and
the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable shall pay the fees and expenses of such
counsel; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay such
-------- -------
fees and expenses if it assumes such indemnified parties' defense and, in such
indemnified parties' reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest
between the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, and such
parties in connection with such defense. The Company need not reimburse any
expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an
indemnified party through such party's own wilful misconduct, negligence or bad
faith.
To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the
Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held
or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay
principal of and interest and any liquidated damages on particular Securities.
The Company's payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall
survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or
termination of this Indenture under any Bankruptcy Law or the resignation or
removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of
a Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 with respect to the
Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under the Bankruptcy Law.
SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any
----------------------
time by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount
at maturity of the Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee
and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if:
(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;
(2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;
(3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or
its property;
(4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting; or
(5) the Trustee increases its fees (exclusive of fees for
extraordinary services) by more than 10% in any twelve month period.
If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of
a majority in principal amount at maturity of the Securities and such Holders do
not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in
the office of Trustee for any
<PAGE>
61
reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring
Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.
A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its
succession to Securityholders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all
property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien
provided for in Section 7.07.
If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of
10% in principal amount at maturity of the Securities may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Securityholder
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee
and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section, the Company's obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.
SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee
---------------------------
consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking
association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any
further act shall be the successor Trustee.
In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion
or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this
Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered,
any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of
any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in
case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any
successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities in the name of the
successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the
full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided
that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.
SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at
-----------------------------
all times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a) of the TIA. The Trustee
shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth
in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall
comply with Section 3.01(b) of the TIA; provided, however, that there shall be
-------- -------
excluded from the operation of Section 3.01(b)(1) of the TIA any indenture or
indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or
participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the
requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 3.01(b)(1) of the TIA are
met.
SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The
-------------------------------------------------
Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the TIA, excluding any creditor
relationship listed in
<PAGE>
62
Section 311(b) of the TIA. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be
subject to Section 311(a) of the TIA to the extent indicated.
SECTION 7.12. Trustee Acting as Paying Agent or Registrar. In the
-------------------------------------------
event that the Trustee is also acting as a Paying Agent or Registrar hereunder,
the rights and protections afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this Article 7
shall also be afforded to such Paying Agent or Registrar.
ARTICLE 8
Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance
----------------------------------
SECTION 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance. (a)
------------------------------------------------
When (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Securities (other
than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.07) for cancelation or (ii) all
outstanding Securities have become due and payable, whether at maturity or as a
result of the mailing of a notice of redemption pursuant to Article 3, and the
Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee funds or U.S. Government
Obligations on which payment of principal and interest when due will be
sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all outstanding Securities,
including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date (other than
Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.07), and if in either case the Company
pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall,
subject to Section 8.01(c), cease to be of further effect. The Trustee shall
acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the
Company accompanied by an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at
the cost and expense of the Company.
(b) Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Company at any time may
terminate (i) all of its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture
("legal defeasance option") or (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03,
4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14 and 4.15 and
the operation of Section 5.01(a)(3), 6.01(4), 6.01(6), 6.01(7) (with respect to
Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only) and 6.01(8) (with respect to
Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only) ("covenant defeasance option").
The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior
exercise of its covenant defeasance option. In the event that the Company
terminates all of its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture by
exercising its legal defeasance option, the obligations under the Subsidiary
Guarantees shall each be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such
obligations.
If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the
Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Company
exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be
accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(4),
6.01(6), 6.01(7) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only)
or 6.01(8) because of the failure of the Company to comply with clauses (3) and
(4) of Section 5.01(a).
Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request
of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those
obligations that the Company terminates.
<PAGE>
63
(c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company's
obligations in Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 7.07, 7.08 and
in this Article 8 shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full.
Thereafter, the Company's obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.04 and 8.05 shall
survive.
SECTION 8.02. Conditions to Defeasance. The Company may exercise its
------------------------
legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if:
(1) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money
or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal, premium (if
any) and interest on the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case
may be;
(2) the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a
nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their
opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without
reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any
deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in
such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal and interest when due
on all the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;
(3) 123 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 123-day
period no Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 with
respect to the Company occurs which is continuing at the end of the period;
(4) the deposit does not constitute a default under any other
agreement binding on the Company and is not prohibited by Article 10;
(5) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is
qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company
Act of 1940;
(6) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal
Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture there
has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case
to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm
that, the Securityholders will not recognize income, gain or loss for
Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be
subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and
at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not
occurred;
(7) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
Securityholders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income
tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to
Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same
times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not
occurred; and
<PAGE>
64
(8) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the
defeasance and discharge of the Securities as contemplated by this Article
8 have been complied with.
Before or after a deposit, the Company may make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Securities at a future date in
accordance with Article 3.
SECTION 8.03. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in
--------------------------
trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this
Article 8. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government
Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to
the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities. Money and securities
so held in trust are not subject to Article 10.
SECTION 8.04. Repayment to Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent
--------------------
shall promptly turn over to the Company upon request any excess money or
securities held by them at any time.
Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the
Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by
them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two
years, and, thereafter, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the
Company for payment as general creditors.
SECTION 8.05. Indemnity for Government Obligations. The Company
------------------------------------
shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge
imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the
principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations.
SECTION 8.06. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is
-------------
unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this
Article 8 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or
judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company's obligations under this
Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee
or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, if the
-------- -------
Company has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Securities
because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated
to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the
money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
ARTICLE 9
Amendments
----------
SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. (a) Without the consent
--------------------------
of any Holder of Securities, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the
Trustee may amend this Indenture to:
<PAGE>
65
(1) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;
(2) comply with Article 5;
(3) provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to, or in place
of, certificated Securities; provided, however, that the uncertificated
-------- -------
Securities are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of
the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Securities are
described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code;
(4) make any change in Article 10 or Article 12 that would limit or
terminate the benefits available to any holder of Senior Indebtedness of
the Company (or any Representative thereof) under Article 10 or Article 12;
(5) add additional guarantees with respect to the Securities;
(6) secure the Securities;
(7) add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the
Securityholders;
(8) surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company;
(9) make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any

(11) comply with any requirement of the Commission in connection with
the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA.
(b) No amendment may be made under this Section 9.01, that adversely
affects the rights under Article 10 or Article 12 of any holder of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company then outstanding unless the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness (or any group or representative thereof authorized to give a
consent) consent to such change.
(c) After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such
amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect
therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.
SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders. The Company, the Subsidiary
-----------------------
Guarantors and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities without
notice to any Securityholder but with the written consent of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Securities then
outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or
exchange for the Securities). However, without the consent of each
Securityholder affected, an amendment may not:
<PAGE>
66
(1) reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an
amendment;
(2) reduce the rate of, or extend the time for payment of, interest or
any liquidated damages on any Security;
(3) reduce the principal of, or extend the Stated Maturity of, any
Security;
(4) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Security or
change the time at which any Security may be redeemed in accordance with
Article 3;
(5) make any Security payable in money other than that stated in the
Security;
(6) make any change in Article 10 or Article 12 that adversely affects
the rights of any Holder of Securities under Article 10 or Article 12;
(7) impair the right of any Holder of Securities to receive payment of
principal of and interest or any liquidated damages on such Holder's
Securities on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the
enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder's Securities;
(8) make any change in the amendment provisions which require the
consent of each Holder of Securities or in the waiver provisions; or
(9) modify the Subsidiary Guarantees in any manner adverse to the
Holders of Securities.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this
Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such
amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect
therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this
Section 9.02.
SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment
-----------------------------------
to this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.
SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. A
---------------------------------------------
consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the
Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security
that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security, even if
notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. However, any such
Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder's
Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of
revocation before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers'
Certificate from the Company certifying that
<PAGE>
67
the requisite number of consents have been received. After an amendment or
waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder. An amendment or
waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the Company or the Trustee of
the requisite number of consents, (ii) satisfaction of conditions to
effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and any indenture supplemental
hereto containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment
or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Company and the Trustee.
The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for
the purpose of determining the Securityholders entitled to give their consent or
take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken
pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the
immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Securityholders at such
record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be
entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to
take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after
such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120
days after such record date.
SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment
-------------------------------------
changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the
Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate
notation on the Security regarding the changed terms and return it to the
Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company
in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a
new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate
notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such
amendment.
SECTION 9.06. Trustee To Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any
--------------------------
amendment authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.
If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and
to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying
upon, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such
amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment
is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to
customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section
9.03).
SECTION 9.07. Payment for Consent. Neither the Company nor any
-------------------
Affiliate of the Company shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid
any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder
for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms
or provisions of this Indenture or the Securities unless such consideration is
offered to be paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in
the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent,
waiver or agreement.
ARTICLE 10
Subordination
-------------
<PAGE>
68
SECTION 10.01. Agreement To Subordinate. The Company agrees, and
------------------------
each Securityholder by accepting a Security agrees, that the Indebtedness
evidenced by the Securities is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent
and in the manner provided in this Article 10, to the prior payment in full of
all Senior Indebtedness of the Company and that the subordination is for the
benefit of and enforceable by the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. The
Securities shall in all respects rank pari passu with all other Senior
---- -----
Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company and only Indebtedness of the Company
that is Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall rank senior to the Securities
in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. For purposes of this Article
10, the Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities shall be deemed to include the
liquidated damages payable pursuant to the provisions set forth in the
Securities and the Registration Agreement. All provisions of this Article 10
shall be subject to Section 10.12.
SECTION 10.02. Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. Upon any
------------------------------------
payment or distribution of the assets of the Company to creditors upon a total
or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of the Company or in a
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding
relating to the Company or its property:
(1) holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be entitled to
receive payment in full of such Senior Indebtedness before Securityholders
shall be entitled to receive any payment of principal of or interest on the
Securities; and
(2) until the Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full, any
payment or distribution to which Securityholders would be entitled but for
this Article 10 shall be made to holders of such Senior Indebtedness as
their interests may appear, except that Securityholders may receive shares
of stock and any debt securities that are subordinated to such Senior
Indebtedness to at least the same extent as the Securities.
SECTION 10.03. Default on Senior Indebtedness. The Company may not
------------------------------
pay the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on the Securities or make any
deposit pursuant to Section 8.01 and may not otherwise repurchase, redeem or
otherwise retire any Securities (collectively, "pay the Securities") if (i) any
Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company is not paid when due or (ii) any
other default on such Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and the maturity of
such Designated Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms
unless, in either case, (x) the default has been cured or waived and any such
acceleration has been rescinded or (y) such Designated Senior Indebtedness has
been paid in full; provided, however, that the Company may pay the Securities
-------- -------
without regard to the foregoing if the Company and the Trustee receive written
notice approving such payment from the Representative of such Designated Senior
Indebtedness with respect to which either of the events set forth in clause (i)
or (ii) of this sentence has occurred and is continuing. During the continuance
of any default (other than a default described in clause (i) or (ii) of the
preceding sentence) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the
Company pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately
without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such
acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, the Company may
not pay the Securities for a period (a "Payment Blockage Period") commencing
upon the receipt by the Trustee (with a copy to the Company) of written notice
(a "Blockage Notice") of such default from the Representative of such Designated
Senior Indebtedness specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period
and ending 179 days
<PAGE>
69
thereafter (or earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated (i) by
written notice to the Trustee and the Company from the Person or Persons who
gave such Blockage Notice, (ii) by repayment in full of such Designated Senior
Indebtedness or (iii) because the default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is
no longer continuing). Notwithstanding the provisions described in the
immediately preceding sentence (but subject to the provisions contained in the
first sentence of this Section 10.03), unless the holders of such Designated
Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such holders shall have accelerated
the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, the Company may resume
payments on the Securities after the end of such Payment Blockage Period. Not
more than one Blockage Notice may be given in any consecutive 360-day period,
irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Designated Senior
Indebtedness during such period; provided, however, that if any Blockage Notice
-------- -------
within such 360-day period is given by or on behalf of any holders of Designated
Senior Indebtedness other than the Bank Indebtedness, the Representative of the
Bank Indebtedness may give another Blockage Notice within such period; provided
--------
further, however, that in no event may the total number of days during which any
- ------- -------
Payment Blockage Period or Periods is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate
during any 360 consecutive day period. For purposes of this Section 10.03, no
default or event of default that existed or was continuing on the date of the
commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated
Senior Indebtedness initiating such Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be
made, the basis of the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period by
the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, whether or not within
a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such default or event of default shall
have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.
SECTION 10.04. Acceleration of Payment of Securities. If payment of
-------------------------------------
the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company or the
Trustee shall promptly notify the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness
of the Company (or their Representative) of the acceleration. If any Designated
Senior Indebtedness of the Company is outstanding, the Company may not pay the
Securities until five Business Days after such holders or the Representative of
such Designated Senior Indebtedness receive notice of such acceleration and,
thereafter, may pay the Securities only if this Article 10 otherwise permits
payment at that time.
SECTION 10.05. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. If a
-----------------------------------
distribution is made to Securityholders that because of this Article 10 should
not have been made to them, the Securityholders who receive the distribution
shall hold it in trust for holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and pay
it over to them as their interests may appear.
SECTION 10.06. Subrogation. After all Senior Indebtedness of the
-----------
Company is paid in full and until the Securities are paid in full,
Securityholders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of such Senior
Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness. A
distribution made under this Article 10 to holders of such Senior Indebtedness
which otherwise would have been made to Securityholders is not, as between the
Company and Securityholders, a payment by the Company on such Senior
Indebtedness.
<PAGE>
70
SECTION 10.07. Relative Rights. This Article 10 defines the relative
----------------
rights of Securityholders and holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company.
Nothing in this Indenture shall:
(1) impair, as between the Company and Securityholders, the obligation
of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of
and interest on and liquidated damages in respect of, the Securities in
accordance with their terms; or
(2) prevent the Trustee or any Securityholder from exercising its
available remedies upon a Default, subject to the rights of holders of
Senior Indebtedness of the Company to receive distributions otherwise
payable to Securityholders.
SECTION 10.08. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company. No
---------------------------------------------
right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to enforce the
subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities shall be impaired
by any act or failure to act by the Company or by its failure to comply with
this Indenture.
SECTION 10.09. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. Notwithstanding
-----------------------------------
Section 10.03, the Trustee or Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the
Securities and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts
that would prohibit the making of any such payments unless, not less than two
Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Trust Officer of the Trustee
receives notice satisfactory to it that payments may not be made under this
Article 10. The Company, the Registrar, the Paying Agent, a Representative or a
holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company may give the notice; provided,
--------
however, that, if an issue of Senior Indebtedness of the Company has a
- -------
Representative, only the Representative may give the notice.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior
Indebtedness of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. The Registrar and the Paying Agent may do the same with like rights.
The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 10
with respect to any Senior Indebtedness of the Company which may at any time be
held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Indebtedness;
and nothing in Article 7 shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such
holder. Nothing in this Article 10 shall apply to claims of, or payments to,
the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07.
SECTION 10.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a
-----------------------------------------
distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness
of the Company, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their
Representative (if any).
SECTION 10.11. Article 10 Not To Prevent Events of Default or Limit
----------------------------------------------------
Right To Accelerate. The failure to make a payment pursuant to the Securities
- --------------------
by reason of any provision in this Article 10 shall not be construed as
preventing the occurrence of a Default. Nothing in this Article 10 shall have
any effect on the right of the Securityholders or the Trustee to accelerate the
maturity of the Securities.
SECTION 10.12. Trust Moneys Not Subordinated. Notwithstanding
------------------------------
anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds
of U.S. Government
<PAGE>
71
Obligations held in trust under Article 8 by the Trustee for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Securities shall not be subordinated to the
prior payment of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company or subject to the
restrictions set forth in this Article 10, and none of the Securityholders shall
be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Company or any holder of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company or any other creditor of the Company.
SECTION 10.13. Trustee Entitled To Rely. Upon any payment or
-------------------------
distribution pursuant to this Article 10, the Trustee and the Securityholders
shall be entitled to rely conclusively (i) upon any order or decree of a court
of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in
Section 10.02 are pending, (ii) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or
agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to
the Securityholders or (iii) upon the Representatives for the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled
to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or
payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other
facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 10. In the event that the Trustee
determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right
of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to participate
in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 10, the Trustee may
request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the
extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this
Article 10, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any
payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such
Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall
be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to
this Article 10.
SECTION 10.14. Trustee To Effectuate Subordination. Each
------------------------------------
Securityholder by accepting a Security authorizes and directs the Trustee on his
behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or
effectuate the subordination between the Securityholders and the holders of
Senior Indebtedness of the Company as provided in this Article 10 and appoints
the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
SECTION 10.15. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior
-------------------------------------------
Indebtedness. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the
- -------------
holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and shall not be liable to any
such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Securityholders or
the Company or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 10 or
otherwise.
SECTION 10.16. Reliance by Holders of Senior Indebtedness on
---------------------------------------------
Subordination Provisions. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security
- -------------------------
acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are
intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or
acquired before or after the issuance of the Securities, to acquire and continue
to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of
such Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such
subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing
to hold, such Senior Indebtedness.
<PAGE>
72
SECTION 10.17. Trustee's Compensation Not Prejudiced. Nothing in
--------------------------------------
this Article shall apply to amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to other
sections of this Indenture.
SECTION 10.18. Defeasance. The terms of this Article 10 shall not
-----------
apply to payments from money or the proceeds of U.S. Government Obligations held
in trust by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the
Securities pursuant to the provisions described in Section 8.03.
ARTICLE 11
Subsidiary Guarantees
---------------------
SECTION 11.01. Subsidiary Guarantees. Each Subsidiary Guarantor
----------------------
hereby jointly and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a
primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Holder and to the Trustee
and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment when due,
whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of all
obligations of the Company under this Indenture (including obligations to the
Trustee) and the Securities, whether for payment of principal of, interest on or
liquidated damages in respect of, the Securities and all other monetary
obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities and (b) the
full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other
obligations of the Company whether for expenses, indemnification or otherwise
under this Indenture and the Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter
collectively called the "Guaranteed Obligations"). Each Subsidiary Guarantor
further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in
whole or in part, without notice or further assent from each such Subsidiary
Guarantor, and that each such Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain bound under this
Article 11 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed
Obligation.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment
from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also
waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives
notice of any default under the Securities or the Guaranteed Obligations. The
obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a)
the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to
enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this
Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension
or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification
of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other
agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for
the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder or
Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the
Guaranteed Obligations; or (f) any change in the ownership of such Subsidiary
Guarantor, except as provided in Section 11.02(b).
Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be
entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the Subsidiary
Guarantors, such that such Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations would be less than
the full amount claimed. Each Subsidiary
<PAGE>
73
Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets
of the Company first be used and depleted as payment of the Company's or such
Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed
from or paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. Each Subsidiary Guarantor
hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Company
be sued prior to an action being initiated against such Subsidiary Guarantor.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee
herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due
(and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any
resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of
the Guaranteed Obligations.
The Subsidiary Guarantee of each Subsidiary Guarantor is, to the
extent and in the manner set forth in Article 12, subordinated and subject in
right of payment to the prior payment in full of the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on all Senior Indebtedness of the relevant Subsidiary
Guarantor and is made subject to such provisions of this Indenture.
Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 11.02 and 11.06,
the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to
any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including
any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not
be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the
Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be
discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the
Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this
Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification
of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the
performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or
delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any
extent vary the risk of any Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a
discharge of any Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall
remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed
Obligations (except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01(b)). Each Subsidiary
Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein shall continue to
be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or
any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.
In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other
right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any
Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay
the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same
shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or
otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each
Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written
demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the
Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of
<PAGE>
74
(i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and
unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not
prohibited by law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Company to
the Holders and the Trustee.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any
right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guaranteed
Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed
Obligations and all obligations to which the Guaranteed Obligations are
subordinated as provided in Article 12. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further
agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on
the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby
may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of any Subsidiary
Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed
hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such
Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such
Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 11.01.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by the
Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 11.01.
Upon request of the Trustee, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute
and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be
reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this
Indenture.
SECTION 11.02. Limitation on Liability. (a) Any term or provision
------------------------
of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum, aggregate amount
of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor
shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without
rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable
under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or
similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
(b) A Subsidiary Guarantee as to any Subsidiary Guarantor shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect and such Subsidiary Guarantor
shall be deemed to be released from all obligations under this Article 11 upon
(i) the merger or consolidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor with or into any
Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company where
such Subsidiary Guarantor is not the surviving entity of such consolidation or
merger or (ii) the sale by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (or any
pledgee of the Company) of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor,
where, after such sale, such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of
the Company; provided, however, that each such merger, consolidation or sale
-------- -------
(or, in the case of a sale by such a pledgee, the disposition of the proceeds of
such sale) shall comply with Section 4.06 and Section 5.01(b). At the written
request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate
instrument evidencing such release.
SECTION 11.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article 11 shall be
-----------------------
binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall
inure to the benefit of
<PAGE>
75
the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of
any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights
and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Securities
shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all
subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.
SECTION 11.04. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part
----------
of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege
under this Article 11 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or
partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right,
power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the
Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other
rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 11 at law,
in equity, by statute or otherwise.
SECTION 11.05. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of
-------------
any provision of this Article 11, nor the consent to any departure by any
Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given. No notice to or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall
entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in
the same, similar or other circumstances.
SECTION 11.06. Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future
----------------------------------------------
Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Subsidiary which is required to become a Subsidiary
- ----------------------
Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.11 shall promptly execute and deliver to the
Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit C hereto pursuant to
which such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article 11
and shall guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations. Concurrently with the execution
and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers' Certificate to the effect that
such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
such Subsidiary and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws relating to
creditors' rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered
in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary
Guarantor is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor,
enforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with its terms.
<PAGE>
76
ARTICLE 12
Subordination of the Subsidiary Guarantees
------------------------------------------
SECTION 12.01. Agreement To Subordinate. Each Subsidiary Guarantor
-------------------------
agrees, and each Securityholder by accepting a Security agrees, that the
obligations of a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder are subordinated in right of
payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 12, to the
prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor
and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders
of such Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor. The obligations
hereunder with respect to a Subsidiary Guarantor shall in all respects rank pari
----
passu with all other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of such Subsidiary
- -----
Guarantor and shall rank senior to all existing and future Subordinated
Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor; and only Indebtedness of such
Subsidiary Guarantor that is Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor
shall rank senior to the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance
with the provisions set forth herein.
SECTION 12.02. Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. Upon any
-------------------------------------
payment or distribution of the assets of a Subsidiary Guarantor to creditors
upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of such
Subsidiary Guarantor or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
receivership or similar proceeding relating to such Subsidiary Guarantor and its
properties:
(1) holders of Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall
be entitled to receive payment in full of such Senior Indebtedness before
Securityholders shall be entitled to receive any payment pursuant to any
Guaranteed Obligations from such Subsidiary Guarantor; and
(2) until the Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor is paid
in full, any payment or distribution to which Securityholders would be
entitled but for this Article 12 shall be made to holders of such Senior
Indebtedness as their respective interests may appear, except that
Securityholders may receive shares of stock and any debt securities that
are subordinated to such Senior Indebtedness to at least the same extent as
the Guarantees.
SECTION 12.03. Default on Designated Senior Indebtedness of a
----------------------------------------------
Subsidiary Guarantor. A Subsidiary Guarantor may not make any payment pursuant
- ---------------------
to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire
any Securities (collectively, "pay its Guarantee") if (i) any Designated Senior
Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor is not paid when due or (ii) any other
default on Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor occurs
and the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in
accordance with its terms unless, in either case, (x) the default has been cured
or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or (y) such Designated
Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full; provided, however, that such
-------- -------
Subsidiary Guarantor may pay its Guarantee without regard to the foregoing if
such Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee receive written notice approving such
payment from the Representative of the holders of such Designated Senior
Indebtedness with respect to which either of the events in clause (i) or (ii) of
this sentence has occurred and is
<PAGE>
77
continuing. During the continuance of any default (other than a default
described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence) with respect to any
Designated Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to which the
maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except
such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of
any applicable grace periods, such Subsidiary Guarantor may not pay its
Guarantee for a Payment Blockage Period commencing upon the receipt by the
Trustee (with a copy to such Subsidiary Guarantor and the Company) of a Blockage
Notice of such default from the Representative of the holders of the Designated
Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor specifying an election to
effect a Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter (or earlier if
such Payment Blockage Period is terminated (i) by written notice to the Trustee
(with a copy to such Subsidiary Guarantor and the Company) from the Person or
Persons who gave such Blockage Notice, (ii) because such Designated Senior
Indebtedness has been repaid in full or (iii) because the default giving rise to
such Blockage Notice is no longer continuing). Notwithstanding the provisions
described in the immediately preceding sentence (but subject to the provisions
contained in the first sentence of this Section 12.03), unless the holders of
such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such holders shall
have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, such
Subsidiary Guarantor may resume paying its Guarantee after such Payment Blockage
Period, including any missed payments. Not more than one Blockage Notice may be
given with respect to a Subsidiary Guarantor in any consecutive 360-day period,
irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Designated Senior
Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor during such period.
SECTION 12.04. Demand for Payment. If payment of the Securities is
-------------------
accelerated because of an Event of Default and a demand for payment is made on a
Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Article 11, the Trustee shall promptly notify
the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor
(or the Representative of such holders) of such demand. If any Designated
Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor is outstanding, such Subsidiary
Guarantor may not pay its Guarantee until five Business Days after such holders
or the Representative of the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness of
such Subsidiary Guarantor receive notice of such demand and, thereafter, may pay
its Guarantee only if this Article 12 otherwise permits payment at that time.
SECTION 12.05. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. If a payment or
------------------------------------
distribution is made to Securityholders that because of this Article 12 should
not have been made to them, the Securityholders who receive the payment or
distribution shall hold such payment or distribution in trust for holders of the
Senior Indebtedness of the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor and pay it over to them
as their respective interests may appear.
SECTION 12.06. Subrogation. After all Senior Indebtedness of a
------------
Subsidiary Guarantor is paid in full and until the Securities are paid in full
in cash, Securityholders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior
Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor to receive distributions applicable to
Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor. A distribution
made under this Article 12 to holders of Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary
Guarantor which otherwise would have been made to Securityholders is not, as
between such Subsidiary Guarantor and Securityholders, a payment by such
Subsidiary Guarantor on Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor.
<PAGE>
78
SECTION 12.07. Relative Rights. This Article 12 defines the relative
----------------
rights of Securityholders and holders of Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary
Guarantor. Nothing in this Indenture shall:
(1) impair, as between a Subsidiary Guarantor and Securityholders, the
obligation of a Subsidiary Guarantor which is absolute and unconditional,
to make payments with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent
set forth in Article 11; or
(2) prevent the Trustee or any Securityholder from exercising its
available remedies upon a default by a Subsidiary Guarantor under its
obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, subject to the
rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor to
receive distributions otherwise payable to Securityholders.
SECTION 12.08. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by a Subsidiary
-------------------------------------------------
Guarantor. No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary
- ----------
Guarantor to enforce the subordination of the obligations of such Subsidiary
Guarantor hereunder shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by such
Subsidiary Guarantor or by its failure to comply with this Indenture.
SECTION 12.09. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. Notwithstanding
-----------------------------------
Section 12.03, the Trustee or the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on
the Securities and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts
that would prohibit the making of any such payments unless, not less than two
Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Trust Officer of the Trustee
receives notice satisfactory to it that payments may not be made under this
Article 12. A Subsidiary Guarantor, the Registrar or co-registrar, the Paying
Agent, a Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary
Guarantor may give the notice; provided, however, that if an issue of Senior
-------- -------
Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor has a Representative, only the
Representative may give the notice.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior
Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it
were not Trustee. The Registrar and co-registrar and the Paying Agent may do
the same with like rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set
forth in this Article 12 with respect to any Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary
Guarantor which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other
holder of Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor; and nothing in
Article 7 shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.
Nothing in this Article 12 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee
under or pursuant to Section 7.07.
SECTION 12.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a
-----------------------------------------
distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness
of a Subsidiary Guarantor, the distribution may be made and the notice given to
their Representative (if any).
SECTION 12.11. Article 12 Not To Prevent Events of Default or Limit
----------------------------------------------------
Right To Accelerate. The failure of a Subsidiary Guarantor to make a payment on
- --------------------
any of its obligations by reason of any provision in this Article 12 shall not
be construed as preventing the occurrence of a default by such Subsidiary
Guarantor under such obligations. Nothing in this
<PAGE>
79
Article 12 shall have any effect on the right of the Securityholders or the
Trustee to make a demand for payment on a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to
Article 11.
SECTION 12.12. Trustee Entitled To Rely. Upon any payment or
-------------------------
distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee and the Securityholders
shall be entitled to rely conclusively (i) upon any order or decree of a court
of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in
Section 12.02 are pending, (ii) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or
agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to
the Securityholders or (iii) upon the Representatives for the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor for the purpose of ascertaining the
Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of
the Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor and other Indebtedness of a
Subsidiary Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or
amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to
this Article 12. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that
evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of
Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor to participate in any payment or
distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee may request such Person to
furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount
of Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor held by such Person, the
extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this
Article 12, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any
payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such
Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall
be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to
this Article 12.
SECTION 12.13. Trustee To Effectuate Subordination. Each
------------------------------------
Securityholder by accepting a Security authorizes and directs the Trustee on his
or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to
acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Securityholders and the
holders of Senior Indebtedness of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors as provided
in this Article 12 and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all
such purposes.
SECTION 12.14. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior
-------------------------------------------
Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe
- ---------------------------------------
any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary
Guarantor and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay
over or distribute to Securityholders or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor or
any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness of
such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 12 or
otherwise.
SECTION 12.15. Reliance by Holders of Senior Indebtedness of a
-----------------------------------------------
Subsidiary Guarantor on Subordination Provisions. Each Securityholder by
- -------------------------------------------------
accepting a Security acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination
provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to
each holder of any Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor, whether such
Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the
Securities, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior
Indebtedness and such holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively
to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to
hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness.
<PAGE>
80
SECTION 12.16. Defeasance. The terms of this Article 12 shall not
-----------
apply to payments from money or the proceeds of U.S. Government Obligations held
in trust by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the
Securities pursuant to the provisions described in Section 8.03.
ARTICLE 13
Miscellaneous

the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of
such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the
Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or
other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the
Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such
Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial
interest in any Global Security.

---------------------- -----------------------------------
Securities. When Definitive Securities are presented to the Registrar with a
- -----------
request:
(x) to register the transfer of such Definitive Securities; or
(y) to exchange such Definitive Securities for an equal principal
amount at maturity of Definitive Securities of other authorized
denominations,
<PAGE>
5
the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if
its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however,
-------- -------
that the Definitive Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange:
(i) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar,
duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing; and
(ii) are accompanied by the following additional information and
documents, as applicable:
(A) if such Definitive Securities are being delivered to the
Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder,
without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect (in
the form set forth on the reverse side of the Initial Security); or
(B) if such Definitive Securities are being transferred to the
Company, a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the
reverse side of the Initial Security); or
(C) if such Definitive Securities are being transferred
pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 144
under the Securities Act or in reliance upon another exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act, (i) a
certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse
side of the Initial Security) and (ii) if the Company so requests, an
opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as
to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set

(b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Security for a
-------------------------------------------------------
Beneficial Interest in a Global Security. A Definitive Security may not be
- -----------------------------------------
exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Security except upon
satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee
of a Definitive Security, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument
of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar,
together with:
(i) certification (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the
Initial Security) that such Definitive Security is being transferred (A) to
a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A, (B) to an IAI that has furnished to the
Trustee a signed letter substantially in the form of Exhibit D or (C)
outside the United States in an offshore transaction within the meaning of
Regulation S and in compliance with Rule 904 under the Securities Act; and
(ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct
the Securities Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records
with respect to such Global Security to reflect an increase in the aggregate
principal amount at maturity of the Securities represented by the Global

<PAGE>
6
then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Security and cause, or direct the
Securities Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and
procedures existing between the Depositary and the Securities Custodian, the
aggregate principal amount at maturity of Securities represented by the Global
Security to be increased by the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the
Definitive Security to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to
the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest
in the Global Security equal to the principal amount at maturity of the
Definitive Security so canceled. If no Global Securities are then outstanding
and the Global Security has not been previously exchanged for certificated
securities pursuant to Section 2.4, the Company shall issue and the Trustee
shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of an
Officers' Certificate, a new Global Security in the appropriate principal amount
at maturity.
(c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities. (i) The transfer
-------------------------------------------
and exchange of Global Securities or beneficial interests therein shall be
effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Indenture (including
applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures
of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global
Security shall deliver a written order given in accordance with the Depositary's
procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the
Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Security or
another Global Security and such account shall be credited in accordance with
such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Security and the
account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to
the beneficial interest in the Global Security being transferred. Transfers by
an owner of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security or the IAI
Global Security to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the
Regulation S Global Security, whether before or after the expiration of the
Restricted Period, shall be made only upon receipt by the Trustee of a
certification from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made
in accordance with Regulation S or (if available) Rule 144 under the Securities
Act and that, if such transfer is being made prior to the expiration of the
Restricted Period, the interest transferred shall be held immediately thereafter
through Euroclear or Cedel. In the case of a transfer of a beneficial interest
in either the Regulation S Global Security or the Rule 144A Global Security for
an interest in the IAI Global Security, the transferee must furnish a signed
letter substantially in the form of Exhibit D to the Trustee.
(ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest
in one Global Security to a beneficial interest in another Global Security,
the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an
increase in the principal amount at maturity of the Global Security to which
such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal
amount at maturity of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar
shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease
in the principal amount at maturity of Global Security from which such
interest is being transferred.
(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix (other
than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Security may not be
transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the
Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another
nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary
<PAGE>
7
or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor
Depositary.
(iv) In the event that a Global Security is exchanged for Definitive
Securities pursuant to Section 2.4 prior to the consummation of the
Registered Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration
Statement with respect to such Securities, such Securities may be exchanged
only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with
the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements
set forth on the reverse of the Initial Securities intended to ensure that
such transfers comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or such other applicable
exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as the case may be)
and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the
Company.
(d) Restrictions on Transfer of Regulation S Global Security. (i)
---------------------------------------------------------
Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, interests in the Regulation S
Global Security may only be held through Euroclear or Cedel. During the
Restricted Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global
Security may only be sold, pledged or transferred through Euroclear or Cedel in
accordance with the Applicable Procedures and only (A) to the Company, (B) so
long as such security is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person
whom the selling holder reasonably believes is a QIB that purchases for its own
account or for the account of a QIB to whom notice is given that the resale,
pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (C) in an offshore
transaction in accordance with Regulation S, (D) pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 (if applicable) under
the Securities Act, (E) to an IAI purchasing for its own account, or for the
account of such an IAI, in a minimum principal amount at maturity of Securities
of $250,000 or (F) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws
of any state of the United States. Prior to the expiration of the Restricted
Period, transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S
Global Security to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the
Rule 144A Global Security or the IAI Global Security shall be made only in
accordance with Applicable Procedures and upon receipt by the Trustee of a
written certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form
provided on the reverse of the Initial Security to the effect that such transfer
is being made to (i) a person whom the transferor reasonably believes is a QIB
within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of
Rule 144A or (ii) an IAI purchasing for its own account, or for the account of
such an IAI, in a minimum principal amount at maturity of the Securities of
$250,000. Such written certification shall no longer be required after the
expiration of the Restricted Period. In the case of a transfer of a beneficial
interest in the Regulation S Global Security for an interest in the IAI Global
Security, the transferee must furnish a signed letter substantially in the form
of Exhibit D to the Trustee.
(ii) Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period, beneficial
ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Security shall be
transferable in accordance with applicable law and the other terms of this
Indenture.

of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. The Company shall pay
interest semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year commencing October
15, 2004. Interest on the Securities shall accrue from the most recent date to
which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from April 15,
2004. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. The Company shall pay cash interest on overdue principal at the rate
borne by the Securities plus 1% per annum, and it shall pay interest on overdue
installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.
(b) Liquidated Damages. The holder of this Security is entitled to
------------------
the benefits of an Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of April
23, 1999, among the Company, TeleCorp Communications, Inc. (the "Subsidiary
Guarantor") and the Initial Purchasers named therein (the "Registration
Agreement"). Capitalized terms used in this paragraph (b) but not defined herein
have the meanings assigned to them in the Registration Agreement. If (i) the
Shelf Registration Statement or Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as
applicable under the Registration Agreement, is not filed with the Commission on
or prior to 60 days after the Issue Date, (ii) the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, is not
declared effective within 180 days after the Issue Date, (iii) the Registered
Exchange Offer is not consummated on or prior to 210 days after the Issue Date,
or (iv) the Shelf Registration Statement is filed and declared effective within
180 days after the Issue Date but shall thereafter cease to be effective (at any
time that the Company is obligated to maintain the effectiveness thereof)
without being succeeded within 45 days by an additional Registration Statement
filed and declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through
(iv), a "Registration Default"), the Company shall pay liquidated damages to
each holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, during the period of such
Registration Default, in an amount equal to $0.192 per week per $1,000 of
Accreted Value of the Securities constituting Transfer Restricted Securities
held by such holder until the applicable Registration Statement is filed or
declared effective, the Registered Exchange Offer is consummated or the Shelf
Registration Statement again becomes effective, as the case may be. All accrued
liquidated damages shall be paid to holders in the same manner as interest
payments on the Securities on semi-annual payment dates which correspond to
interest payment dates for the Securities. Following the cure of all
Registration Defaults, the accrual of liquidated damages shall cease. The
Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to the determination of the
amount of any such liquidated damages. For purposes of the foregoing, "Transfer
Restricted Securities" means (i) each Initial Security until the date on which
such Initial Security has been exchanged for a freely transferable Exchange
Security in the Registered Exchange Offer, (ii) each Initial Security or Private
Exchange Security until the date on which such Initial Security or Private
Exchange Security has been effectively registered under the Securities Act
<PAGE>
4
and disposed of in accordance with a Shelf Registration Statement or (iii) each
Initial Security or Private Exchange Security until the date on which such
Initial Security or Private Exchange Security is distributed to the public
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or is saleable pursuant to Rule
144(k) under the Securities Act.
2. Method of Payment
-----------------
The Company shall pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted
interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Securities at the close
of business on the April 1 or October 1 next preceding the interest payment date
even if Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the
interest payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to
collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal, premium, liquidated
damages and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time
of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in
respect of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal,
premium, liquidated damages and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust
Company. The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated
Security (including principal, premium and interest), by mailing a check to the
registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on
-------- -------
the Securities may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000
aggregate principal amount at maturity of Securities, by wire transfer to a U.S.
dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such
Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee
or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30
days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date
as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).
3. Paying Agent and Registrar
--------------------------
Initially, Bankers Trust Company, a New York banking corporation (the
"Trustee"), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and
change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Company
or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as
Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.
4. Indenture
---------
The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of April
23, 1999 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor and the
Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and
those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939
(15 U.S.C. (S)(S) 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the
-----
"TIA"). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings
ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all terms and
provisions of the Indenture, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture
and the TIA for a statement of such terms and provisions.
The Securities are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of the
Company limited to $575,000,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity at any
one time outstanding (subject to Sections 2.01 and 2.08 of the Indenture). This
Security is one of the Initial Securities
<PAGE>
5
referred to in the Indenture. The Securities include the Initial Securities and
any Exchange Securities and Private Exchange Securities issued in exchange for
Initial Securities. The Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities and the
Private Exchange Securities are treated as a single class of securities under
the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain
Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other
distributions, Incur Indebtedness, enter into consensual restrictions upon the
payment of certain dividends and distributions by Restricted Subsidiaries, enter
into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates Asset Dispositions. The
Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Company to consolidate
or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or
substantially all of the property of the Company.
To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and
interest on the Securities and all other amounts payable by the Company under
the Indenture and the Securities when and as the same shall be due and payable,
whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the
Securities and the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally,
unconditionally guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations on a senior subordinated
basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.
5. Optional Redemption
-------------------
Except as set forth in the following paragraph, the Securities will
not be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to April 15, 2004.
Thereafter, the Securities will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in
whole or in part, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, at
the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount at
maturity), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date
(subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest, if any, due on the relevant interest payment date), if
redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on April 15 of the years set
forth below:

amount at maturity of the Securities with the proceeds of one or more Equity
Offerings by the Company, at a redemption price equal to 111 5/8% of the
Accreted Value on the redemption date; provided, however, that, after giving
-------- -------
effect to any such redemption at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount at
maturity of the Securities remains outstanding. In addition, any such redemption
shall be made within 60 days of such Equity Offering upon not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days' notice mailed to each holder of Securities being redeemed and
otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.
6. Sinking Fund

7. Notice of Redemption
--------------------
Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30
days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of
Securities to be redeemed at his or her registered address. Securities in
denominations larger than $1,000 of principal amount at maturity may be redeemed
in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 of principal amount at maturity.
If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid
interest and liquidated damages, if any, on all Securities (or portions thereof)
to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or
before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and
after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions
thereof) called for redemption.
<PAGE>

8. Repurchase of Securities at the Option of Holders upon Change of Control
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upon a Change of Control, each Holder of Securities will have the
right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to require the
Company to repurchase all or any part of such holder's Securities at a purchase
price in cash equal to (a) 101% of the Accreted Value on the Purchase Date, if
such date is on or before April 15, 2004, or (b) 101% of the principal amount at
maturity, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Purchase Date
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if such date is
after April 15, 2004, as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the
Indenture.
9. Subordination
-------------
The Securities are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness, as defined in
the Indenture. To the extent provided in the Indenture, Senior Indebtedness must
be paid before the Securities may be paid. The Company and each Subsidiary
Guarantor agrees, and each Securityholder by accepting a Security agrees, to the
subordination provisions contained in the Indenture and authorizes the Trustee
to give it effect and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for such purpose.
10. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange
---------------------------------
The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations
of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange
Securities in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the
Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish
appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by
law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer
of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a
Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed)
or to transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days prior to a
selection of Securities to be redeemed.
11. Persons Deemed Owners
---------------------
The registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of
it for all purposes.
12. Unclaimed Money
---------------
If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed
for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the
Company at its written request unless an abandoned property law designates
another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look
only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.
<PAGE>
8
13. Discharge and Defeasance
------------------------
Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate
some of or all its obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the
Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the
payment of principal and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity,
as the case may be.
14. Amendment, Waiver
-----------------
Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the
Indenture or the Securities may be amended without prior notice to any
Securityholder but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities and (ii)
any default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount at maturity of
the outstanding Securities. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the
Indenture, without the consent of any Holder of Securities, the Company and the
Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Securities (i) to cure any ambiguity,
omission, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to comply with Article 5 of the
Indenture; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in
place of certificated Securities; (iv) to add Subsidiary Guarantees with respect
to the Securities; (v) to secure the Securities; (vi) to add additional
covenants or to surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company; (vii) to
comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain
the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (viii) to make any change that
does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder; (ix) to make any
change in the subordination provisions of the Indenture that would limit or
terminate the benefits available to any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company (or any representative thereof) under such subordination provisions; or
(x) to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Securities or Private Exchange
Securities.
15. Defaults and Remedies
---------------------
If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating
to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company)
and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount at maturity of the outstanding Securities may declare the principal of
and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. If
an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization of the Company occurs, the principal of and interest on all the
Securities shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or
other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain
circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount at maturity of the
outstanding Securities may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the
Securities and its consequences.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be
under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture
at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have
offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss,
liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of
principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any
remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Securities unless (i) such Holder
has previously given the Trustee notice
<PAGE>
9
that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount at maturity of the outstanding Securities have requested the
Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy, (iii) such Holders have offered the
Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense,
(iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the
receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and (v) the
Holders of a majority in principal amount at maturity of the outstanding
Securities have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request
within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a
majority in principal amount at maturity of the outstanding Securities are given
the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee
determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would
involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the
Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it
in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not
taking such action.
16. Trustee Dealings with the Company
---------------------------------
Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under
the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed
to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company
or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
17. No Recourse Against Others
--------------------------
A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company
or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of
the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in
respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a
Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver
and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.
18. Authentication
--------------
This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the
Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of
authentication on the other side of this Security.
19. Abbreviations
-------------
Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or
an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the
entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as
tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors
Act).

20. Governing Law
-------------
THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF
ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
21. CUSIP Numbers
-------------
Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be
printed on the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in
notices of redemption as a convenience to Securityholders. No representation is
made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or
as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers placed thereon.

agrees to the provisions of the Registration Agreement, including, without
limitation, the obligations of the Holders with respect to a registration and

be paid before the Securities may be paid. The Company and each Subsidiary

selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in

any Securities for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Securities to be
redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date.

it for all purposes.
12. Unclaimed Money

If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed
for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the
Company at its written request unless an abandoned property law designates
another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look
only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.
<PAGE>
7
13. Discharge and Defeasance
------------------------
Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate
some of or all its obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the

payment of principal and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity,
as the case may be.
14. Amendment, Waiver
-----------------
Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the
Indenture or the Securities may be amended without prior notice to any
Securityholder but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the outstanding Securities
and (ii) any default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the
written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount at
maturity of the outstanding Securities. Subject to certain exceptions set forth
in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder of Securities, the Company
and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Securities (i) to cure any
ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to comply with Article 5 of
the Indenture; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or
in place of certificated Securities; (iv) to add Subsidiary Guarantees with
respect to the Securities; (v) to secure the Securities; (vi) to add additional
covenants or to surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company; (vii) to
comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain
the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (viii) to make any change
that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder; (ix) to make
any change in the subordination provisions of the Indenture that would limit or
terminate the benefits available to any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company (or any representative thereof) under such subordination provisions; or
(x) to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Securities or Private Exchange
Securities.
15. Defaults and Remedies
---------------------
If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating
to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company)
and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount at maturity of the outstanding Securities may declare the principal of
and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. If
an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization of the Company occurs, the principal of and interest on all the
Securities shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or
other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain
circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount at maturity of the
outstanding Securities may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the
Securities and its consequences.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be
under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture
at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have
offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss,
liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of
principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any
remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Securities unless (i) such Holder
has previously given the Trustee notice
<PAGE>
8
that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount at maturity of the outstanding Securities have requested the
Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy, (iii) such Holders have offered the
Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense,
(iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the
receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and (v) the
Holders of a majority in principal amount at maturity of the outstanding
Securities have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request
within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a
majority in principal amount at maturity of the outstanding Securities are given
the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee
determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would
involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the
Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it
in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not
taking such action.
16. Trustee Dealings with the Company
---------------------------------
Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under
the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed
to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company
or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
17. No Recourse Against Others
--------------------------
A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company
or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of
the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in
respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a
Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all such liability. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities.
18. Authentication
--------------
This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the
Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of
authentication on the other side of this Security.
19. Abbreviations
-------------
Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or
an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the
entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as
tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors
Act).

20. Governing Law
-------------
THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF
ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
21. CUSIP Numbers
-------------
Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be
printed on the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in
notices of redemption as a convenience to Securityholders. No representation is
made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or
as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers placed thereon.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $ principal
amount at maturity of the 11 5/8% Senior Subordinated Discount Notes due 2009
(the "Notes") of TeleCorp PCS, Inc. (the "Company").
Upon transfer, the Notes would be registered in the name of the new

Name:________________________
Address:_____________________
Taxpayer ID Number:__________
The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:
1. We are an institutional "accredited investor" (as defined in Rule
501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act")), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an
institutional "accredited investor" at least $250,000 principal amount at
maturity of the Securities, and we are acquiring the Securities not with a view
to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of
the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our
investment in the Securities, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to
the Securities in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for
which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its
investment.
<PAGE>

2. We understand that the Securities have not been registered under the
Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in
the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any
investor account for which we are purchasing the Securities to offer, sell or
otherwise transfer such Securities prior to the date that is two years after the
later of the date of original issue and the last date on which TeleCorp or any
affiliate of TeleCorp was the owner of such Securities (or any predecessor
thereto) (the "Resale Restriction Termination Date") only (a) to TeleCorp, (b)
pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the
Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the requirements of Rule
144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A"), to a person we reasonably believe
is a qualified institutional buyer under Rule 144A (a "QIB") that is purchasing
for its own account or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that
the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) in an offshore
transaction within the meaning of, and in compliance with, Regulation S under
the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional "accredited investor" within the
meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is
purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an institutional
"accredited investor", in each case in a minimum principal amount at maturity of
Notes of $250,000, or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the
foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property
or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our
or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws.
The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale
Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is
proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction
Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee
substantially in the form of this letter to TeleCorp and the Trustee, which
shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7)
under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment
purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each
purchaser acknowledges that TeleCorp and the Trustee reserve the right prior to
the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination
Date of the Notes pursuant to clause (d), (e) or (f) above to require the
delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information
satisfactory to TeleCorp and the Trustee.

---------------------------
the proceeds of the sale of the Notes for the purpose, whether immediate,
incidental or ultimate, of buying a "margin stock" or of maintaining, reducing
or retiring any indebtedness originally incurred to purchase a stock that is
currently a "margin stock", or for any other purpose which might constitute this
transaction a "purpose credit", in each case, within the meaning of Regulation G
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 C.F.R. 207, as

any Governmental Authority.

buy any of the same from, or otherwise approached or negotiated in respect

(b) each of the Company and its Subsidiaries will be able to pay its debts as
they mature; and (c) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary will have
unreasonably small capital for the business in which it is proposed to be
engaged. For purposes of this section 6.20, the "fair valuation" of any asset
will be that amount which may be realized within a reasonable time, either
through collection or sale of such asset at fair market value, defining the
latter as the amount which could be obtained for the property in question within
such period by a willing seller from a willing buyer, each having reasonable
knowledge of the relevant facts, neither being under any compulsion to act, with
equity to both. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any intent to
hinder, delay or defraud any entity to which it is, or will become, on or after
the Initial Series A Closing Date, indebted or to incur debts that would be
beyond its ability to pay as they mature.

transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
6.21 Regulatory Compliance. (a) The Company and its Subsidiaries

chief financial officer, general counsel or any other officer or employee of the
Company specifically charged with having knowledge of or monitoring FCC matters
has knowledge of any investigation, notice of apparent liability, violation,
forfeiture or other order or complaint issued by or before the FCC, or of any
other proceedings of or before the FCC, which could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries holds all Licenses
necessary for the operation of its business as currently conducted except where
the failure to hold such Licenses could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect (it being understood that on the date hereof neither
Company nor its Subsidiary has any Licenses and no Licenses are required for the
operation of the business of the Company or such Subsidiary as
-17-
<PAGE>
currently conducted). No event has occurred which (i) results in, or after
notice or lapse of time or both would result in, revocation, suspension, adverse
modification, non-renewal, impairment, restriction or termination of, or order
of forfeiture with respect to, any such License in any respect that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) affects or
could reasonably be expected in the future to affect any of the rights of the
Borrower or its Subsidiaries under any License in any respect that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

manner all material filings, reports, applications, documents, instruments and
information required to be filed by it under the Communications Act, the
Telecommunications Act and under any other applicable federal, state and local
laws, and all such filings were when made true, correct and complete in all
material respects, except to the extent that the failure of any of the foregoing
to be true and correct could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(e) TeleCorp Holdings currently qualifies, and at all times since it
has held any Licenses from the FCC has qualified and will qualify, as a "very
small business," as defined in 47 C.F.R. 101.112(b), and neither the Company nor
Telecorp Holdings has committed or has any present intention to take any action
that would result in Telecorp Holdings not being qualified as a "very small
business" other than by reason of its annual gross revenues. As a result of the
closing of the transactions under Article II and Article III of the Securities
Purchase Agreement the Company owns (or, prior to such closing, the Company will
own) 100% of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of TeleCorp Holdings.
6.22 Disclosure. Neither this Agreement nor any other document,
----------
certificate or instrument delivered to you by or on behalf of the Company in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement taken as a whole
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein and therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being
understood that, except as set forth in section 6.4, no representation or
warranty is made with respect to any projections or other prospective financial
information). There is no fact known to the Company (other than matters of a
general economic or political nature which do not affect the Company uniquely)

terminate and (B) with respect to any other Event of Default, the Required
Holders of the Notes (subject to section 17) may by notice to the Company
declare the Commitments terminated forthwith whereupon the Commitments shall be
terminated, and (ii) (A) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described
in paragraphs (h) and (i) of this section 12, the unpaid principal amount of and
accrued interest on the Notes shall automatically be due and payable or (B) with
respect to any other Event of Default (x) if such event is an Event of Default
described in paragraphs (a), (b), (f), (j), or (k), of this section 12 the
Required Holders of Notes at such time outstanding (subject to section 17) may
at any time (unless all defaults shall have been remedied) at its or their
option, by written notice or notices to the Company, declare the Notes to be due
and payable; or (y) if such event is an Event of Default described in any other
-
paragraph of this section 12 and such event occurs before the Credit Agreement
shall have been executed and delivered and shall be in full force and effect,
the Required Holders of the Notes (subject to section 17) may declare the Notes
due and payable; whereupon, with reference to any such declaration, the Notes
shall forthwith mature and become due and payable together with interest accrued

solely by reason of such declaration, and all conditions and events which
constitute Events of Default or Potential Events of Default have been cured or
waived and (3) no judgment or decree shall have been entered for the payment of

vacated; but no such rescission and
-33-
<PAGE>
annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Potential

13. Remedies on Default, etc. If any Event of Default shall occur
------------------------
and be continuing, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, proceed to protect and enforce the rights of
such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding,
whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in
such Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof
or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or
by law or otherwise. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any
holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a
waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder's rights, powers or remedies.
No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any
holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred
to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute
or otherwise.
14. Subordination.
-------------
14.1 Notes Subordinate to Senior Debt. The Company covenants and
--------------------------------
agrees, and each holder of a Note, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants
and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this
section, the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on each
and all the Notes and the repurchase, redemption or other retirement of the
Notes is hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to
the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents or, as acceptable to the
holders of Senior Debt, in any other manner, of all Senior Debt in the manner
set forth in this section 14. The terms of this section 14 are for the benefit
of, and shall be enforceable directly by, each holder of Senior Debt, and each
holder of Senior Debt whether now outstanding or hereafter created, incurred,
assumed or guaranteed shall be deemed to have acquired such Senior Debt in
reliance upon the covenants and provisions contained in this Agreement.
14.2 Payment of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc. Upon any payment or
-----------------------------------------
distribution of assets of the Company to creditors upon any liquidation,
dissolution, winding-up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of
creditors, marshaling of assets or liabilities or any bankruptcy,
reorganization, receivership, insolvency or similar proceedings of the Company
or its property, whether voluntary or involuntary (each such event, if any,
herein sometimes referred to as a "Proceeding"):
(a) The holders of Senior Debt shall receive payment in full in cash
or cash equivalents or, as acceptable to the holders of Senior Debt, in any
other manner, of all amounts due on or to become due on or in respect of all
Senior Debt (including any interest accruing thereon after the commencement of
any such Proceeding, whether or not allowed as a claim against the Company in
such Proceeding) or provision shall be made for such payment in a
-34-
<PAGE>
manner acceptable to such holders before the holders of the Notes are entitled
to receive any payment or distribution whether by setoff, exercising contractual
or statutory rights or otherwise and whether in the form of cash, stock or
property or otherwise (excluding any payment or distribution described in the
last paragraph of this section 14.2(b)), on account of the principal of,
premium, if any, interest on or any other obligation owing in respect of the
Notes or on account of any purchase, redemption or other acquisition of Notes by
the Company (all such payments, distributions, purchases, redemptions and
acquisitions, whether or not in connection with a Proceeding (but excluding any
payment or distribution described in the last paragraph of this section 14.2),
being herein referred to, individually and collectively, as a "Securities
Payment"); and
(b) Any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind
or character, whether in cash, property or securities, by set-off or otherwise,
to which the holders of the Notes would be entitled but for the provisions of
this section 14, shall be paid by the Company or the liquidating trustee or
agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in
bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the
holders of Senior Debt or their representatives or trustees under any credit
agreement, indenture or other agreement under which any such Senior Debt may
have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on
account of the Senior Debt held or represented by each, to the extent necessary
to make payment in full in cash or cash equivalents or, as acceptable to the
holders of Senior Debt, in any other manner, of all Senior Debt remaining
unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the
holders of such Senior Debt.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
section, the holder of any Notes shall have received in connection with any
Proceeding any Securities Payment before all Senior Debt is paid in full or
payment thereof is provided for in cash or cash equivalents, then and in such
event such Securities Payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of and paid
over or delivered forthwith to the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating
trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment or
distribution of assets of the Company for application to the payment of all
Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to make payment in full in
cash or cash equivalents or, as acceptable to the holders of the Senior Debt, in
any other manner, of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid after giving effect to any
concurrent payment to or for the holders of Senior Debt.
For purposes of this section 14 only, the words "payment or
distribution" or "any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether
in cash, property or securities" shall not be deemed to include a payment or
distribution of stock or securities of the Company provided for by a plan of
reorganization or readjustment authorized by an order or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction in a reorganization proceeding under any applicable
bankruptcy law or of any other corporation provided for by such plan of
reorganization or readjustment, which stock
-35-
<PAGE>
or securities are subordinated in right of payment to all then outstanding
Senior Debt to substantially the same extent, or to a greater extent than, the
Notes are so subordinated as provided in this section 14. The consolidation of
the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another Person or the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance, transfer or
lease of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to another Person
upon the terms and conditions set forth in section 11.5 and so long as permitted
under the terms of the Senior Debt shall not be deemed a Proceeding for the
purposes of this section if the Person formed by such consolidation or into
which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance, transfer
or lease such properties and assets, as the case may be, shall, as a part of
such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, comply with the
conditions set forth in section 14.
(c) To the extent any payment of Senior Debt (whether by or on
behalf of the Company, as proceeds of security or enforcement of any right of
setoff or otherwise) is declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or
required to be paid to any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee,
agent or other similar Person under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
fraudulent conveyance or similar law, then if such payment is recovered by, or
paid over to, such receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent
or other similar Person, the Senior Debt or part thereof originally intended to
be satisfied shall be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment
had not occurred.
14.3 No Payment When Senior Debt in Default. In the event that any
--------------------------------------
Senior Payment Default (as defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing,
then no Securities Payment whether by setoff, exercising contractual or
statutory rights or otherwise and whether in the form of cash, stock or property
or otherwise shall be made, unless and until such Senior Payment Default shall
have been cured or waived in writing or shall have ceased to exist or all
amounts then due and payable in respect of such Senior Debt (including, without
limitation, amounts that have become and remain due by acceleration) shall have
been paid in full in cash. "Senior Payment Default" means any default in the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Senior Debt
when due, whether at the stated maturity of any such payment or by declaration
of acceleration, call for redemption, notice of the exercise of an option to
require such repayment, mandatory payment or prepayment or otherwise.
In the event that any Senior Nonmonetary Default (as defined below)
shall have occurred and be continuing, then, upon the receipt by the Company of
written notice of such Senior Nonmonetary Default from the agent under the
Credit Agreement to which such Senior Nonmonetary Default relates or, if no
loans or other amounts are then outstanding under the Credit Agreement or any
renewal, extension or refunding thereof, and the Credit Agreement and any such
renewal, extension or refunding have been terminated, upon receipt of such
notice by or on behalf of any other holder or holders of Senior Debt in an
aggregate amount in excess of $25,000,000, no Securities Payment shall be made
whether by setoff, exercising contractual or
-36-
<PAGE>
statutory rights or otherwise and whether in the form of cash, stock or property
or otherwise be made during the period (the "Payment Blockage Period")
commencing on the date of such receipt by the Company of such written notice and
ending on the earlier of (a) the date, if any, on which the Senior Debt to which
such Senior Nonmonetary Default relates is discharged or such Senior Nonmonetary
Default shall have been cured or waived in writing or shall have ceased to exist
and any acceleration of Senior Debt to which such Senior Nonmonetary Default
relates shall have been rescinded or annulled and (b) the 179th day after the
date of such receipt of such written notice. No more than one Payment Blockage
Period may be commenced with respect to the Notes during any period of 360
consecutive days and there shall be a period of at least 181 consecutive days in
each period of 360 consecutive days when no Payment Blockage Period is in
effect. Following the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period, the holders
of Senior Debt shall be precluded from commencing a subsequent Payment Blockage
Period until the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence shall have been
satisfied. For all purposes of this paragraph, no Senior Nonmonetary Default
that existed and was continuing on the date of commencement of any Payment
Blockage Period with respect to the Senior Debt initiating such Payment Blockage
Period shall be, or may be made, the basis for the commencement of a subsequent
Payment Blockage Period by any holder of Senior Debt or any representative or
trustee under any indenture under which any such Senior Debt may have been
issued unless such Senior Nonmonetary Default shall have been cured for a period
of not less than 90 consecutive days. "Senior Nonmonetary Default" means any
default (other than a Senior Payment Default), under the terms of any instrument
or agreement pursuant to which any Senior Debt is outstanding, permitting one or
more holders of such Senior Debt or any representative or trustee under any
indenture under which any such Senior Debt may have been issued to declare such
Senior Debt due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise become
due and payable.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
make any Securities Payment to any holder prohibited by the foregoing provisions
of this section 14.3, then in such event such Securities Payment shall be held
in trust and paid over and delivered forthwith to the representatives or trustee
under any indenture under which any such Senior Debt may have been issued
ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the
Senior Debt held or represented by under the Senior Debt or, if there is no such
representative or trustee with respect to such Senior Debt, to the holders of
such Senior Debt.
The provisions of this section 14.3 shall not apply to any Securities
Payment with respect to which section 14.2 hereof would be applicable.
14.4 Acceleration of Subordinated Debt. If an Event of Default shall
---------------------------------
have occurred and be continuing (other than an Event of Default pursuant to
paragraphs (h) or (i) of section 12), the holders of the Notes shall give the
holders of the Senior Debt not less than 30 days prior written notice before
accelerating the Notes which notice shall state it is a "Notice of
-37-
<PAGE>
Intent to Accelerate". Upon such declaration, the holders of Senior Debt
outstanding at the time such Subordinated Debt so becomes due and payable shall
be entitled to receive payment in full in cash, cash equivalents or, as
acceptable to the holders of the Senior Debt, in any other manner on all amounts
due or to become due on or in respect of such Senior Debt, before the Company
may make, and before any holder of Subordinated Debt is entitled to receive, any
payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character,
whether in cash, securities or other property on account of any Subordinated
Debt. All payments in respect of the Subordinated Debt postponed under this
section 14.4 shall be immediately due and payable upon the termination of such
postponement; the remittance in full of such payments by the Company in
accordance with the terms of the this Agreement and the acceptance thereof by
the holders of the Notes shall be deemed to constitute a cure by the Company and
a waiver by the holders of the Notes of any Event of Default that existed
immediately prior to such remittance and acceptance to the extent that such
Event of Default existed solely as a consequence of the previous non-payment of
such postponed payments during such period of postponement.
14.5 Payment Permitted If No Default. Nothing contained in this
-------------------------------
section 14 or elsewhere in this Agreement or in any of the Notes shall prevent
the Company, at any time except during the pendency of any Proceeding referred
to in section 14.2 or under the conditions described in section 14.3, from
making Securities Payments in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Nothing in this section 14 shall have any effect on the right of the holders to
accelerate the maturity of the Notes upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
but, in that event, no payment may be made in violation of the provisions of
this section 14 with respect to the Notes. If payment of the Notes is
accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify
the holders of the Senior Debt (or their representatives) of such acceleration.
14.6 Subrogation To Rights of Holders of Senior Debt. Subject to the
-----------------------------------------------
payment in full in cash or cash equivalents, or as acceptable to the holders of
Senior Debt, in any other manner, of all Senior Debt, the holders of the Notes
shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive
payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the
Senior Debt until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes
shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or
distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of any cash, property or
securities to which the holders of the Notes would be entitled except for the
provisions of this section 14, and no payments pursuant to the provisions of
this section 14 to the holders of Senior Debt by holders of the Notes, shall, as
among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt and the
holders of the Notes, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company
to or on account of the Senior Debt.
14.7 Provisions Solely To Define Relative Rights. The provisions of
-------------------------------------------
this section 14 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the
relative rights of the holders of the Notes on the one hand and the holders of
Senior Debt on the other hand. Nothing
-38-
<PAGE>
contained in this section 14 or elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Notes is
intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than
holders of Senior Debt and the holders of the Notes, the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional (and which, subject to the rights
under this section 14 of the holders of Senior Debt, is intended to rank equally
with all other general obligations of the Company), to pay to the holders of the
Notes the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes as and when
the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms; or (b)
affect the relative rights against the Company of the holders of the Notes and
creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Debt; or (c) prevent
the holder of any Note from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law upon default under this Agreement, subject to this section 14,
including the rights, if any, under this section 14 of the holders of Senior
Debt to receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable
to such holder or, under the conditions specified in section 14.3, to prevent
any payment prohibited by such section or enforce their rights pursuant to the
penultimate paragraph in section 14.
14.8 No Waiver of Subordination Provisions. No right of any present
-------------------------------------
or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce the subordination provisions
provided herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any
act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to
act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company
with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, regardless of any
knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph,
the holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the
consent of or notice to the holders of the Notes, without incurring
responsibility to the holders of the Notes and without impairing or releasing
the subordination provided in this section 14 or the obligations hereunder of
the holders of the Notes to the holders of Senior Debt, do any one or more of
the following: (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the
time of payment of, or renew, refinance or alter, Senior Debt, or otherwise
amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the
same or any agreement under which Senior Debt is outstanding; (b) permit the
Company to borrow, repay and then reborrow any or all the Senior Debt; (c) sell,
exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or
otherwise securing Senior Debt; (d) release any Person liable in any manner for
the collection of Senior Debt; (e) exercise or refrain from exercising any
rights against the Company and any other Person; and (f) apply any sums received
by such holders to Senior Debt.
14.9 Reliance On Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this
section 14, the holders of the Notes shall be entitled to rely upon any order or
decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding
is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating
trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person
-39-
<PAGE>
making such payment or distribution, delivered to the holders of Notes, for the
purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt, the amount thereof or payable
thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts
pertinent thereto or to this section 14; provided that the foregoing shall apply

rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the Notes; provided that
--------
the Company shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any
holder (or Transferee) that is not organized under the laws of the United States
of America or a state thereof if such holder (or Transferee) fails to comply
with the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section. Whenever any Non-
Excluded Taxes are payable by the Company, as promptly as possible thereafter,
the Company shall send to such holder (or Transferee) a certified copy of an
original official receipt received by the Company showing payment thereof. If
the Company fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate
taxing authority or fails to remit to the holder (or Transferee) the required
receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Company shall indemnify
such holder or (Transferee) for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties
that may become payable by any holder or (Transferee) as a result of any such
failure. The covenants in this section shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Notes and payment of the Obligations hereunder.
(b) Each holder (or Transferee) of any Notes shall:
(i) in the case of a holder (or Transferee) that is a "bank"
under Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code;
(A) on or before the date on which the first payment becomes
payable to it hereunder or under any Note (or in the case of a
Participant, on or before the date such Participant becomes a
Participant hereunder) deliver to the Company (1) in the case of a
holder (or Transferee) that is not incorporated under the laws of the
United States or any State thereof, two duly completed copies of
United States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224, or successor
applicable form, as the case may be, and an Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, and
(2) in the case of any other holder (or

Transferee), an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or successor
applicable form;
(B) deliver to the Company two further copies of any such form
or certification on or before the date that any such form or
certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of
any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously
delivered by it to the Company, and
(C) obtain such extensions of time for filing and timely
complete and deliver such forms or certifications as may reasonably be
requested by the Company;
(ii) in the case of a holder (or Transferee) that is not a

Participant hereunder) deliver to the Company (1) in the case of a
holder (or Transferee) that is not organized under the laws of the
United States or any state thereof, (I) a statement under penalties
of perjury that such holder (or Transferee) (x) is not a "bank" under
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not subject to regulatory or
other legal requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction, and has not
been treated as a bank for purposes of any tax, securities law or

completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or
applicable successor form, and where applicable, an Internal Revenue
Form W-9 or applicable successor form, and (2) in the case of any
other holder (or Transferee), an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or
successor applicable form.
(B) deliver to the Company two further properly completed and
duly executed copies of said form or certification or any successor
applicable form or certification on or before the date that any such
form or certification expires or becomes obsolete or after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or
certification previously delivered by it to the Company or upon the
request of the Company; and
-56-
<PAGE>
(C) obtain such extensions of time for filing and timely complete
and deliver such forms or certifications as may be reasonably
requested by the Company;
unless in any such case any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred
subsequent to the date such holder (or Transferee) became a party to this
Agreement (or, in the case of a Participant, the date such Participant became a
Participant hereunder) which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would
prevent such holder from properly completing and executing any such form with
respect to it and such holder (or Transferee) so advises the Company in writing
no later than 15 calendar days before any payment hereunder or under any Note is
due. Each such holder (and each Transferee) shall certify (i) in the case of a
Form 1001 or 4224 or in the case of a holder providing certification pursuant to
section 16.1(b)(ii), that it is entitled to receive payments under this
Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income
taxes and (ii) in the case of a Form W-8 or W-9 delivered pursuant to section
16.1(b), that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup
withholding tax. Each Person that shall become a holder or a Participant

provide all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this section;
provided that, in the case of a Participant, such Participant shall furnish all
- --------
such required forms and statements to the holder from which the related
participation shall have been purchased.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
section 16.1, the Company shall only be required to pay any additional amounts
to any holder (or Transferee) in respect of any amounts pursuant to such
paragraph (a) if such holder (or Transferee), in addition to complying with the
requirements of paragraph (b), shall have taken such other steps as such holder
or Transferee may determine in the exercise of its business judgment (utilizing
criteria it determines to be appropriate) are reasonably available to it under
applicable laws and any applicable tax treaty or convention to obtain an
exemption from, or reduction (to the lowest applicable rate) of, such tax (it
being understood that no holder shall be required to take any action that it
concludes could subject it to heightened audit scrutiny or extend the period
that such holder's tax returns remain open for review by any taxing authority).
(d) Any claim by a holder (or Transferee) for payment from the
Company of any amounts under this section 16.1 shall be made within ninety (90)
days after such holder (or Transferee) determines the exact amount of any such
claim.
17. Notes held by Company, etc., Deemed Not Outstanding. For the
---------------------------------------------------
purposes of determining whether the holders of the Notes of the requisite
principal amount at the time outstanding have taken any action authorized by
this Agreement with respect to the giving of consents or approvals or with
respect to ac celeration upon an Event of Default, any Notes
-57-
<PAGE>
directly or indirectly owned by any of the Company or any Subsidiary or

shall designate the principal office of another bank or trust company in such
Borough as such place of payment, in which case the principal office of such
other bank or trust company shall thereafter be such place of payment.
18.2 Home Office Payment. So long as you or your nominee shall be the
-------------------
holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in section 18.1 or in
such Note to the contrary, the Company, at its election, shall pay all sums
becoming due on such Note for principal, premium, if any, and interest
(including pay-in-kind interest) by the method and at the address specified for
such purpose in Schedule A, or by such other method or at such other address as
you shall have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such
purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any
notation thereon, except that any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be
surrendered to the Company at its principal office or at the place of payment
maintained by the Company pursuant to section 18.1 for cancellation. Prior to
any sale or other disposition of any Note held by you or your nominee you will,
at your election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon
and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note
to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to section 23.7.
Each transferee of a Note, as a condition to completing such transfer shall
agree that the Company, at its election, may make payments to such transferee in
the manner contemplated in the first sentence hereof. The Company will afford
the benefits of this section 18.2 to any institutional investor which is the
direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by you under this Agreement
and which has made the same agreement relating to such Note as you have made in
this section 18.2.

cost and expenses of preparing and reproducing this Agreement and the Notes, of

and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part
to be performed or complied with; (b) the cost of delivering to your principal
office, insured to your satisfaction, the Notes sold to you hereunder

such transactions and any such amendments or waivers; and (d) the reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by you in connection with such transactions and
any such amendments or waivers. The Company also will pay, and will save you and
each holder of any Notes harmless from, all claims in respect of the fees, if
any, of brokers and finders and, subject to section 16, any and all liabilities
with respect to any taxes (including interest and penalties but excluding taxes
measured by or payable with respect to gross or net income) which may be payable
in respect of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the issue of the
Notes and any amendment or waiver under or in respect of this Agreement and the
Notes. The obligation of the Company under this section 18.3 shall survive any
disposition or payment of the Notes and the termination of this Agreement.
19. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations
------------------------------------------
and warranties contained in this Agreement or made in writing by or on behalf of
the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

any time made by you or on your behalf, the purchase of the Notes by you under
this Agreement and any disposition or payment of the Notes. All statements

the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and
warranties of the Company under this Agreement. The provisions of this section

----------------------
Notes may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement or of the
Notes may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company
and the Required Holders (subject to section 17); provided that, without the
--------
prior written consent of the holders of all the Notes at the time outstanding
(subject to section 17), no such amendment or waiver shall (a) change the
maturity or the principal amount of, or reduce the rate or change the time of
payment of interest on, or change the amount or the time of payment of any
principal or premium payable on any prepayment of, any Note, (b) reduce the
percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are
required to consent to any such amendment or waiver, or (c) change the
percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which may declare

waiver effected in accordance with this section 20 shall be binding upon each
holder of any Note at the time outstanding, each future holder of any Note and
the Company.
21. Notices, etc. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
-------------
notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and

provided in section 18 with respect to payments on Notes held by you or your
nominee, or (b) if to any other holder of any Note, at such address as such
other holder shall have furnished to the Company in writing, or, until any such

Agreement, to the attention of General Counsel and Chief Financial Officer, with

such other officer, as the Company shall have furnished to you and each such
other holder in writing. Any notice so addressed and delivered by hand or
courier shall be deemed to be given when received, and any notice so addressed
and mailed by registered or certified mail shall be deemed to be given three
Business Days after being so mailed.
22. Indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless
---------------
each holder of Notes and each person who controls a holder within the meaning of
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each of the holder's subsidiaries and
each holder's respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors
(any and all of whom are referred to as the "Indemnified Party") from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, whether joint or
several (including all legal fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by
counsel for any Indemnified Party in connection with the preparation for or
defense of any pending or threatened third party claim, action or proceeding,
whether or not resulting in any liability), to which such Indemnified Party may
become subject (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) under
any applicable federal or state law or otherwise, caused by or arising out of,
the Financing Transactions, or this Agreement or any transaction contemplated
hereby or thereby (including without limitation, any of the foregoing relating
to the violation of, non-compliance with or liability under any Environmental
Law applicable to the operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries), other
than, with respect to any Indemnified Party, losses, claims, damages or
liabilities that are the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnified Party.
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any claim,
action or proceeding with respect to which an Indemnified Party is entitled to
indemnity hereunder, such Indemnified Party will notify the Company of such
claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided that the
--------
failure of an Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not
relieve the Company of its obligations under this section 22 with respect to
such Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Company is actually
prejudiced by such failure. The Company will assume the defense of such claim,
action or proceeding and will employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party and will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party will be entitled,
at the expense of the Company, to employ counsel separate from counsel for the
Company and for
-60-
<PAGE>
any other party in such action if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines
that a conflict of interest or other reasonable basis exists which makes
representation by counsel chosen by the Company not advisable, but the Company
will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for
all Indemnified Parties.
The agreements in this section shall survive repayment of the Notes
and all other amounts payable hereunder.
23. Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments; Replacement
----------------------------------------------------------------
of Notes.
- --------
23.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and

inure to the benefit of the Company, the holders and their respective successors
and assigns, except that the Company may not assign or transfer any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of
each holder.
23.2 Participations. Subject to section 24, any holder may, in
--------------
accordance with applicable law, including compliance with applicable federal and
state securities and "blue sky" laws and regulations, at any time sell to one or
more Eligible Assignees ("Participants") participating interests in any Note
owned by such holder, the Commitments of such holder or any other interest of
such holder hereunder. In the event of any such sale by a holder of a
participating interest to a Participant, such holder's obligations under this
Agreement to the Company and any other holder shall remain unchanged, such
holder shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such holder
shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under this Agreement,
and the Company shall continue to deal solely and directly with such holder in
connection with such holder's rights and obligations under this Agreement. No
holder shall be entitled to create in favor of any Participant, in the
participation agreement pursuant to which such Participant's participating
interest shall be created or otherwise, any right to vote on, consent to or
approve any matter relating to this Agreement except for those specified in
clauses (a) and (b) of section 20. The Company also agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of section 16 with respect to its
participation in the Commitments and the Notes outstanding from time to time as
if it were a holder; provided that, in the case of section 16, such Participant
--------
shall have complied with the requirements of such section and provided,
--------
further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount
- -------
pursuant to such section than the transferor holder would have been entitled to
receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such
transferor holder to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.
23.3 Assignments. Subject to section 24, any holder may, in
-----------
accordance with applicable law, including compliance with applicable federal and
state securities and "blue sky" laws and regulations, at any time and from time
to time assign to any other holder or to an
-61-
<PAGE>
Eligible Assignee (an "Assignee") all or any part of its Notes and Commitments
pursuant to an assignment and acceptance executed by such Assignee and such
assigning holder and delivered to the Company for acceptance and recording in
the Register; provided that, in the case of any such assignment to an Eligible
--------
Assignee, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes and the
aggregate amount of Unused Commitment being assigned is not less than $5,000,000
(or such lesser amount as constitutes the assigning holder's entire aggregate
principal amount of Notes and Unused Commitment) and, if such assignment is of
less than all of the Notes and Commitments of the assigning holder, the sum of
the aggregate principal amount of the assigning holder's remaining Notes and the
aggregate amount of Unused Commitment is not less than $5,000,000 (or such
lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Company). Upon such execution,
delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be
a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance,
have the rights and obligations of a holder hereunder, and (ii) the assigning
holder thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and
Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an
assigning holder's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning
holder shall cease to be a party hereto but shall be entitled to the benefits of
section 16 in respect of the period prior to such assignment).
23.4 Register. The Company shall maintain a copy of each Assignment
--------
and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the holders, the registered owners of
the Obligations evidenced by the Notes and the principal amount of the Notes
owing to each holder from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be
prima facie evidence of the accuracy thereof, and the Company and the holders
shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a
Note hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment or transfer of all or
part of any Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for
registration of assignment or transfer of such Note, duly endorsed by (or
accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or transfer duly executed by)
the holder thereof, and thereupon one or more new Note(s) in the same aggregate
principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee(s) and the old Note
shall be returned to the Company marked "canceled". The Register shall be
available for inspection by any holder at any reasonable time and from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice.

Subject to section 30, the Company authorizes each holder to disclose to any
Participant or Assignee (each, a "Transferee") and any prospective Transferee
and its advisers and agents, any and all information in such holder's possession
concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries which has been delivered to such

been delivered to such holder by or on behalf of the Company in connection with
such
-62-
<PAGE>
holder's credit evaluation of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to becoming
a party to this Agreement; provided that no such disclosure may be made unless

such Transferee or prospective Transferee and its advisers and agents shall have
executed and delivered to the Company an agreement reasonably acceptable to the
Company to keep such information confidential.
23.6 Assignment to Federal Reserve Bank. Nothing contained herein
----------------------------------
shall prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without
limitation, any pledge or assignment by a holder of any Note to any Federal

--------------------
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any
Note and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of any Note, upon
delivery of an indemnity bond in such reasonable amount as the Company may
determine (or, in the case of any Note held by you or another institutional
holder or your or its nominee, of an indemnity agreement from you or such other
holder) or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon the surrender of such Note
for cancellation to the Company at its principal office, the Company at its
expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note in the unpaid
principal amount of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note, dated so
that there will be no loss of interest on such Note and otherwise of like tenor.
Any Note in lieu of which any such new Note has been so executed and delivered
by the Company shall not be deemed to be an outstanding Note for any purpose of
this Agreement.
24. Remarketing
-----------
(a) You shall not engage in any remarketing efforts (i) prior to the
earlier of 9 months after the consummation of the Company's initial High Yield
Offering and January 1, 2001, with respect to any assignment of any Unused

initial High Yield Offering and June 30, 2000, with respect to any assignment of

that the Company shorten the period in which you are restricted from remarketing
the Notes. The Company will consider any such request and will not object to
any such request if it concludes (in the exercise of its business judgement
based on such criteria as it considers appropriate) that any such remarketing
will not impair the ability of the Company to any High Yield Offering. The
restrictions set forth in this section 24 shall not apply to any remarketing of
the Notes to any of your Affiliates.
(b) You shall provide the Company at least with 60 days prior written
notice (a "Remarketing Notice") if you wish the Company to assist in any

<PAGE>
applicable to the Notes being so assigned (a "Remarketing Transfer"). Upon
receipt of a Remarketing Notice, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall
cooperate with you and your underwriters or agents in each remarketing effort
undertaken by you. Such cooperation shall include, if requested by you, (i) the
Company providing customary information in respect of the Company and its
Subsidiaries and making customary representations and warranties with respect to
such information in connection with any Offering and, if required by the
Securities Act, the Company acting as co-registrant, issuer or co-issuer of such
Offering, (ii) senior officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries participating

assisting in the drafting of a registration statement or offering circular used
in marketing of any Offering; provided that the Company may elect to combine the

other High Yield Debt. The Company will promptly after delivery of a Remarketing
Notice, upon your request, direct its counsel (i) to prepare required
documentation for Refinancing Securities and/or any required amendments to this
Agreement to permit a Remarketing Transfer or (ii) to review any such
documentation prepared by your counsel, and the Company will work diligently
with you to finalize such documentation and issue such Refinancing Securities in
the manner you request.
(c) In connection with any Remarketing Transfer involving a sale of
Notes, the holders of the Notes or Refinancing Securities that are the subject
of such Remarketing Transfer shall, if you so request, be granted the right to
decline any optional or mandatory prepayments of such Notes or Refinancing
Securities (excluding regularly scheduled installments of principal) for a
period of up to five years from the date of consummation of such Remarketing
Transfer (the "Five-Year No-Call").
(d) If you have not completed a Remarketing Transfer for all the
Series A Notes and the Series B Notes then outstanding prior to January 1, 2003,
then the Company will pay you up to 3% of the then outstanding principal amount
of all Notes to defray any actual marketing distribution and other costs
incurred by you in connection with any such remarketing.
(e) At any time after the earlier to occur of (i) the disposition by
you of more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Series A Notes or
Series B Notes then outstanding and (ii) January 1, 2001, you or the Required
Holders may request the issuance of Refinancing Securities in place of such
Series A Notes or Series B Notes, as applicable.
25. Adjustments. If any holder (a "Benefitted Holder") shall at any
-----------
time receive any payment of all or part of its Notes, or interest thereon,
(whether voluntarily or involuntarily) in a greater proportion than any such
payment to any other holder, if any, in respect of such other holder's Notes, or
interest thereon, such Benefitted Holder shall purchase for cash from the other
holders a participating interest in such portion of each such other holder's
-64-
<PAGE>
Notes, Notes as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Holder to share the
excess payment ratably with each of the other holders, provided, that if all or
--------
any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted
Holder, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price returned, to
the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
26. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
-------------
the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of
the parties hereto, whether so expressed or not, and, in particular, shall inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by any holder or holders at the time of the
Notes or any part thereof. Except as stated in section 19, this Agreement

matter hereof. This Agreement and the Notes shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. The headings

TeleCorp PCS, Inc.
------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special New York counsel to TeleCorp PCS Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement,
-------
dated as of May 11, 1998 (the "Note Agreement"), between the Company and Lucent
--------------
Technologies Inc. ("Lucent", together with each holder of a Note, being
------
individually a "Noteholder" and collectively the "Noteholders"). This opinion
---------- -----------
is furnished to you pursuant to Section 5.1(e) of the Note Agreement. Unless
otherwise defined herein (a) terms used herein have the meanings provided for in
the Note Agreement and (b) terms for which meanings are provided for in the New
York Uniform Commercial Code (the "UCC") are used herein as defined therein.
---
In connection with this opinion we have examined (a) originals, or copies
identified to our satisfaction as being true copies, of such records, documents
and other instruments as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this
opinion and (b) the form of execution copies of the Note Agreement, the Series A
Note and the Security Agreement (collectively, the "Subject Documents"). In
-----------------
addition, we have examined the (i) the certificate of incorporation and by-laws
of the Company and (ii) the good standing certificates of the Company attached
at Annex A hereto.
-------
With regard to factual matters, we have been furnished with, and with your
consent have relied (without independent verification) upon and assumed the
accuracy of, (a) certificates of the Company, (b) the representations of the
Company set forth in the Subject Documents and (c) certificates and assurances
from public officials as we have deemed necessary for purposes of expressing the
opinions expressed herein.
Whenever our opinion with respect to the existence or absence of facts is
indicated to be based on our knowledge or awareness, we are referring solely to
the actual knowledge of the particular McDermott, Will & Emery attorneys who
have represented the Company in connection with the Subject Documents. Except
as expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent
investigation (including, without limitation, conducting any
<PAGE>
review, search or investigation of any public files, records or documents) to
determine the existence or absence of such facts and no inference as to our
knowledge concerning such facts should be drawn from the fact that we have
relied upon such representations and warranties in connection with the
preparation and delivery of this opinion.
In our examination, and for all purposes of the opinions expressed herein, we
have assumed, with your permission, and without independent investigation, that:
(a) the signatures of individuals (other than individuals signing on
behalf of the Company) signing the Subject Documents are genuine and
authorized;
(b) all documents submitted to us as copies conform to authentic original
documents;
(c) all parties (other than the Company) to the Subject Documents (i) have
full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform thereunder and under
the documents required or permitted to be delivered and performed thereunder
and (ii) all such documents (A) have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate or other actions on the part of such parties, (B) have been duly
executed by such parties, (C) have been duly delivered by such parties and (D)
are legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable against such parties; and
(d) the representations and warranties in the Subject Documents as to
factual matters are accurate and complete in all respects.
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the limitations, qualifications and
exceptions set forth in lettered paragraphs (A) through (G) below, we are of the
-------------- ---
opinion that:
1. Corporate Status. The Company is a corporation validly existing under the
----------------
laws of the State of Delaware and has the corporate power and authority to own
its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is currently
engaged as described in the Note Agreement. Based solely upon our review of the
certificates of good standing attached at Annex A hereto, the Company is a
-------
corporation in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation
and is authorized to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction
listed on Annex B attached hereto.
-------
2. Corporate Power and Authority. The Company has the corporate power and
-----------------------------
authority to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of each
Subject Document to which it is party and has taken all necessary corporate
action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of each such
Subject Document.
3. Due Execution, Validity and Enforceability. The Company has duly executed
------------------------------------------
and delivered each Subject Document to which it is party, and each such Subject
Document constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of
the Company.
-2-
<PAGE>
4. No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery nor performance by the
------------
Company of any Subject Document, nor compliance by the Company with the terms
and provisions thereof,
(a) violate, based on our review of those laws, rules and regulations
which, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the
contemplated by the Subject Documents, any present law, statute or regulation
of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
or the United States; or
(b) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws
of the Company; or
(c) result in any breach of any of the terms of, or constitute a default
under, or with respect to any of the Article Nine Collateral (as defined in
opinion paragraph 6 below) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien
-----------
(except as contemplated by the Subject Documents) upon any of such Article
Nine Collateral, in each case pursuant to the terms of any written
agreement of the Company set forth on Annex C attached hereto.
-------
5. Governmental Approvals. Based on our review of those laws, rules and
----------------------
regulations which, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of
the type contemplated by the Subject Documents, no consent, approval or
authorization of, or filing with, any governmental authority of the United
States, the State of New York or pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation
Law, is required for (a) the due execution, delivery and performance by the
Company of any Subject Document or (b) the legality, validity, binding effect or
enforceability of any Subject Document, except (i) for filings, recordings and
other actions which have previously been made or obtained, (ii) consents,
approvals, authorizations and filings as may be required to be obtained or made
by each Noteholder as a result of its involvement in the transaction
contemplated by the Subject Documents, (iii) routine filings to be made after
the date hereof in the ordinary course of business of the Company and (iv)
filings which are necessary to perfect the security interest granted under the
Security Agreement.
6. Security Interests. After giving effect to the issuance and payment of
------------------
the Series A Note on the date hereof, the Security Agreement creates a valid
security interest in favor of Lucent to secure the Obligations (as defined in
each Security Agreement) in all right, title and interest of the Company in and
to all personal property included within the definition of the term Collateral
(as defined in the Security Agreement) in which a security interest can be
granted under Article 9 of the UCC (collectively, the "Article Nine
------------
Collateral").
- ----------
7. Judgments, Actions and Proceedings. To the best of our knowledge, there
----------------------------------
are no outstanding judgments, actions, suits or proceedings pending against the
Company before any court or governmental authority which purports to affect the
legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Subject
Documents.
The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications:
-3-
<PAGE>
(A) Our opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the State of
New York, the Federal law of the United States and the Delaware General
Corporation Law, and we do not express any opinion concerning any other law.
(B) Our opinions expressed herein are subject to the effect of any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally.
(C) Our opinions expressed herein are subject to the effect of general
principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality,
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law). In applying such principles a court,
among other things, might limit the availability of specific equitable
remedies (such as injunctive relief and the remedy of specific performance),
might not allow a creditor to accelerate maturity of debt or any portion
thereof upon the occurrence of a default deemed immaterial or for non-credit
reasons or might decline to order a debtor to perform covenants in a Subject
Document. In addition, a court may refuse to enforce a covenant if and to the
extent that it deems such covenant to be violative of applicable public
policy, including, for example, provisions indemnifying a party against
liability for its own wrongful or negligent acts.
(D) We call your attention to the following matters (as well as those
matters set out in paragraph (G) below) as to which we express no opinion:
-------------
(1) the agreement of the Company in the Subject Documents relating to
indemnification, contribution or exculpation of costs, expenses
or other liabilities incurred by the Noteholders that arise out
of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Subject Documents;
(2) fraudulent transfer laws and principles of equitable
subordination;
(3) the agreement of the Company in the Subject Documents to submit
to the jurisdiction of courts of the State of New York, or to
waive the right to jury trial or to establish evidentiary
standards;
(4) the creation of any trust relationship by the Company on
behalf of any Noteholder;
(5) the ordinances and statutes, the administrative decisions and
orders and the rules and regulations of any municipality, county,
special district or other political subdivision of the State of
New York;
-4-
<PAGE>
(6) any waiver or remedy contained in the Loan Documents, whether or
not any Loan Document deems any such waiver or remedy
commercially reasonable, if such waiver or remedy is determined
(a) not to be commercially reasonable, (b) to conflict with
mandatory provisions under the UCC or any other applicable law or
(c) to be taken in a manner determined to be unreasonable; and
(7) certain of the provisions contained in the Subject Documents may
be unenforceable or ineffective in whole or in part, but the
inclusion of such provisions does not render any of Subject
Documents invalid as a whole and each of the Subject Documents
contains, in our opinion, adequate remedial provisions for the
practical realization of the principal rights and benefits
purported to be afforded by the Subject Documents, subject to the
other qualifications contained in this opinion. We note, however,
that the unenforceability of such provisions may result in delays
in enforcement of the rights and remedies of the Noteholders
under the Subject Documents (and we express no opinion as to the
economic consequences, if any, of such delays).
(E) With respect to our opinions in paragraph 4 we express no opinion as
-----------
to any violation not readily ascertainable from the face of the agreement
referred to therein or arising from any cross-default provision insofar as
it relates to a default under an agreement not referred to therein or
arising under a covenant of a financial or numerical nature or requiring
computation.
(F) Our opinions in paragraph 6 above are subject to the following:
-----------
(1) the continuation of Lucent's security interest in the proceeds of
the Collateral is limited to the extent set forth in Section 9-306 of the
UCC;
(2) in the case of property which becomes part of the Collateral
after the date hereof, Section 552 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code limits
the extent to which property acquired by a debtor after the commencement of
a case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code may be subject to a security
interest arising from a security agreement entered into by the debtor
before the commencement of such case;
(3) in the case of property which becomes part of the Collateral
after the date hereof, Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a
transfer is not made until the debtor has rights in the property
transferred, so a security interest in after-acquired property which is
security for other than a contemporaneous advance may be treated as a
voidable preference under the
-5-
<PAGE>
conditions (and subject to the exceptions) provided by Section 547 of the
Bankruptcy Code;
(4) Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that the extension of
secured credit after the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code
requires court approval;
(5) the rights of Lucent with respect to the Collateral consisting of
accounts, instruments, licenses, leases, contracts or other agreements will
be subject to the claims, rights and defenses of the other parties thereto
against the Company; and
(6) in the case of any Collateral consisting of licenses or permits
issued by governmental authorities, the Company may not have sufficient
rights therein for the security interest of Lucent to attach and, even if
the Company has sufficient rights for the security interest of Lucent to
attach, the exercise of remedies may be limited by the terms of the license
or permit or require the consent of the governmental authority issuing such
license or permit.
(G) With respect to our opinions in paragraph 6 above, we express no
-----------
opinion as to:
(1) the Company's ownership rights in or title to, or perfection of
any Lien on or with respect to, any property or assets forming any part of
the Collateral; and
(2) the creation, validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of
any security interest purported to be granted in or in respect of (a) any
real property, fixtures, equipment used in farming operations, farm
products, crops, timber or minerals and the like (including oil and gas) or
accounts resulting from the sale of any of the foregoing; (b) patents,
trademarks, copyrights, trade names, service marks and other intellectual
property; (c) policies or insurance, deposit accounts, receivables due from
any government or agency thereof, inventory which is subject to any
negotiable documents of title (such as negotiable bills of lading or
warehouse receipts), consumer goods, beneficial interests in a trust,
letters of credit or accounts resulting from the sale of any of the
foregoing; or (d) any other property or assets the creation, perfection or
priority of a security interest in which is excluded from the coverage of
Article 9 of the UCC, including such property or assets the creation,
perfection or priority of a security in which are subject to (i) a statute
or treaty of the United States which provides for a national or
international registration or a national or international certificate of
title for the perfection or recordation of a security interest therein or
which specifies a place of filing different from that specified in the UCC
for filing to perfect or record such security interest or (ii) a
certificate of title statute.

furnished to Lucent for the purpose referred to in the first two sentences of
this opinion, and this opinion is not to be used, furnished to any Person (other
than Persons who have purchased participations from Lucent in accordance with

representatives during normal business hours at the request of the Grantee.

respects with all Requirements of Law applicable to the Collateral or any
part thereof or to the operation of the Grantor's business; provided that

opinion of the Grantee, adversely affect the Grantee's rights or the
priority of its Liens on the Collateral.

(i) Maintenance of Insurance. The Grantor will maintain, with
------------------------
financially sound and reputable companies, insurance policies on the
Equipment in at least such amounts and against at least such risks (but
including in any event public liability, business interruption and storm
damage) as are usually insured against in the same general area by
companies engaged in the same or a similar business. All such policies
shall (i) contain a breach of warranty clause in favor of the Grantee, (ii)
provide that no cancellation, material reduction in amount or material
change in coverage thereof shall be effective until at least 30 days after
receipt by the Grantee of written notice thereof, (iii) name the Grantee as

4(d) or remove its books and records from the location specified in Section
---- -------
4(e), (ii) permit any of the Equipment to be kept at a location other than
----
those listed on Schedule I hereto or (iii) change its name, identity or
corporate structure to such an extent that any financing statement filed by
the Grantee in connection with this Security Agreement would become
seriously misleading.
6. Grantee's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.
-----------------------------------------
(a) Powers. The Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints
------
the Grantee and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution,
as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and
authority in the place and stead of the Grantor and in the name of the Grantor
or in its own name, from time to time in the Grantee's discretion, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, for the purpose
of carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which
may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security
Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor
hereby gives the Grantee the power and right, on behalf of the Grantor, without
notice to or assent by the Grantor, to do the following:
(i) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or
threatened against the Collateral, to effect any repairs or any insurance
called for by the terms of this Security Agreement and to pay all or any
part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and
(ii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the
Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due
thereunder directly to the Grantee or as the Grantee shall direct; (B) to
ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all
moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in
respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any

receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and

court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any thereof
and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend
any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Grantor with respect to
any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or
proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to
give such discharges or releases as the Grantee may deem appropriate; and
(G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any
-6-
<PAGE>
agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as
fully and completely as though the Grantee were the absolute owner thereof
for all purposes, and to do, at the Grantee's option and the Grantor's
expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the
Grantee deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral
and the Grantee's thereon and to effect the intent of this Security
Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Grantor might do.
The Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause
to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable.
(b) Other Powers. The Grantor also authorizes the Grantee, at any
------------
time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with the sale provided for
in this Section 6 or in Section 9 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other
--------- ---------
instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.
(c) No Duty on Grantee's Part. The powers conferred on the Grantee
-------------------------
hereunder are solely to protect the Grantee's interests in the Collateral and
shall not impose any duty upon the Grantee to exercise any such powers. The
Grantee shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a
result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers,
directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Grantor for any act
or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
7. Proceeds. It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur
--------
and be continuing (a) upon written notice by the Grantee to the Grantor, all
Proceeds (relating to the Collateral) received by the Grantor consisting of
cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by the Grantor in trust for
the Grantee, segregated from other funds of the Grantor, and, forthwith upon
receipt by the Grantor, shall be turned over to the Grantee in the exact form
received by the Grantor (duly endorsed by the Grantor to the Grantee, if
required), and (b) any and all such Proceeds received by the Grantee (whether
from the Grantor or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of the Grantee, be
held by the Grantee as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time
thereafter may be applied by the Grantee against, the Obligations (whether
matured or unmatured), such application to be in such order as the Grantee shall
elect. Any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have
been paid in full and the Commitments shall have been terminated shall be paid
over to the Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the
same.
8. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
--------
the Grantee may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted
to it in this Security Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement
securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of
a secured party under the Code. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Grantee, without demand of performance or other demand,
presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice
required by law
-7-
<PAGE>
referred to below) to or upon the Grantor, any guarantor, or any other Person
(all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices being
hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive,
appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may
forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise
dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any
of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at
any office of the Grantee or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may
deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or
for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Grantee shall
have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted
by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part
of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the
Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. The Grantor further
agrees, at the Grantee's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it
available to the Grantee at such places as the Grantee shall reasonably select,
whether at the Grantor's premises or elsewhere. The Grantee shall apply the net
proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization
or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind
incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the
Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Grantee
and the Lenders hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations,
in such order as the Grantee may elect, and only after such application and
after the payment by the Grantee of any other amount required by any provision
of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-504(i)(c) of the Code, need the
Grantee account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantor. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may
acquire against the Grantee arising out of the exercise by it of any rights
hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral
shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if
given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. The Grantor shall
remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other
disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the
fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Grantee to collect such
deficiency.
9. Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. The
---------------------------------------------------------
Grantee's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical
preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the
Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Grantee
deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Grantee nor any of
its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to
demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any
delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose
of any Collateral upon the request of the Grantor or otherwise.
10. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies
-------------------------------
herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers
coupled with an interest.
-8-
<PAGE>
11. Limitation on Lines of Business. Nothing contained in this
-------------------------------
Security Agreement shall be deemed or construed as modifying in any way the
restrictions on Grantor's activities as set forth in Section 11.9 of the Note
Purchase Agreement.
12. Severability. Any provision of this Security Agreement which is
------------
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
13. Section Headings. The section headings used in this Security
----------------
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the
construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
14. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The Grantee shall not by any act
------------------------------
(except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 15), delay, indulgence,
----------
omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or
to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of
the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in
exercising, on the part of the Grantee, any right, power or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the
Grantee of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be
construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Grantee or such Lender would
otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided
are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of
any rights or remedies provided by law.
15. Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns. None of the
----------------------------------------------
terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by
the Grantor and the Grantee; provided that any provision of this Security
--------
Agreement may be waived by the Grantee; in a written letter or agreement
executed by the Grantee; or by telex or facsimile transmission from the Grantee.
This Security Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the
Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Grantee and its successors and
assigns.
16. Governing Law. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND
-------------
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND BE CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THEREOF OTHER THAN
SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT
FOR PERFECTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY INTERESTS AND LIENS IN OTHER
-9-
<PAGE>
JURISDICTIONS TO THE EXTENT THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION IS MANDATORILY
APPLICABLE PURSUANT TO THE LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.
17. Notices. Notices hereunder may be given by mail, by telex or by
-------
facsimile transmission, addressed or transmitted to the Person to which it is
being given at such Person's address or transmission number set forth in the
Note Purchase Agreement and shall be effective (a) in the case of mail, three
days after deposit in the postal system, first class postage pre-paid and (b) in
the case of telex or facsimile notices, when sent. The Grantor may change its
address and transmission number by written notice to the Grantee, and the

25%.
Except for the initial order, nine (9) months prior to requested ship date,
Customer shall provide to Seller an updated forecast of the quantity of Products
necessary for the PCS System as indicated above. This forecast is expected to be
accurate within +/- 25%. If the accuracy of this forecast deviates from the
stated parameters, Seller will not be penalized for any resulting delays for
quantities above the forecast.
There shall be a twelve (12) week interval between order and ship date for
switching equipment orders for each Initial System, unless the parties mutually
agree to a shorter interval. For all other switch orders, no less than twenty
(20) weeks prior to the requested ship date for switching equipment, Customer
shall provide to Seller a final forecast of the number of units of switch
equipment required for the PCS System as indicated above. No less than four (4)
weeks prior to the requested ship date for base stations, Customer shall provide
to Seller a final forecast of the number of base station units required for the
PCS System as indicated above. The final forecasts shall be submitted as orders
under clauses 1.7 and 1.8. Customer may postpone orders for base stations
without penalty up to one (1) week prior to the requested ship date, however
Seller may elect to ship base stations in accordance with Section 1.17. Customer
may postpone orders for switching equipment without penalty up to three weeks
prior to the requested ship date provided that the equipment ships within 4
weeks of the original requested ship date.
Any postponement of an order by Customer pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall
not relieve Customer of its purchase obligations for the Initial Systems set
forth in Section 1.4 and
<PAGE>
Attachment A and the New Market Incentive purchase commitment set forth in
Section 1.10.1.1.10.
1.7 ORDERS
All orders submitted by Customer shall be deemed to incorporate and be
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless otherwise agreed by
both parties in writing.
All orders, including electronic orders, shall contain the information
necessary for Seller to fulfill the order.
All schedules and requested dates are subject to Seller's concurrence;
provided if orders are made within the agreed to lead times Seller shall not
withhold its concurrence to the requested dates.
No provision or data on any order or contained in any documents attached to
or referenced in any order, any subordinate document (such as shipping
releases), shall be binding, except data necessary for Seller to fill the order.
All such other data and provisions are hereby rejected. Electronic orders shall
be binding on Customer notwithstanding the absence of a signature, so long as
such orders have been verified as valid purchase orders by Customer's technical
department and finance department in accordance with procedures to be mutually
agreed upon by the parties.
1.8 ORDER ACCEPTANCE
All orders are subject to acceptance by Seller. Seller shall acknowledge
the date of order receipt either in writing or electronic data interface format
within 72 hours. The acknowledged date of order receipt is the price effective
date for purposes of this Agreement.
Seller agrees to deliver and install Products and Licensed Materials and
perform Services in accordance with Seller's standard delivery and installation
schedules being quoted at the time such order is placed, or the delivery and
installation schedules otherwise agreed pursuant to Section 1.6.
If Customer submits an order requesting a delivery or completion interval
less than the interval listed in the applicable Customer Price List, or as set
forth in Section 1.6, Seller will accept such order only for its standard
interval. Seller will, however, attempt to meet Customer's requested interval
and provide confirmation or denial of the requested
<PAGE>
guidelines for accruals and reimbursements of qualifying promotional
activities and the procedures and documentation necessary for such
reimbursements.
b. Without limiting the foregoing or anything in this Agreement, Customer
expressly agrees to submit all proposed usage of Seller's Indicia (as
defined under "USE OF MARKS" below) for approval by the Seller Co-
Marketing Program Office on such forms as may be developed by Seller
from time to time, and shall not use such Indicia unless and until the
Seller Co-Marketing Program Office grants such approval. Seller shall
either accept or reject Customer's proposed usage of Seller's Indicia
within three (3) business days of acknowledged receipt of Customer's
request. If no response is rendered within this time period, the
proposed usage shall be deemed approved.
c. Without limiting the foregoing or anything in this Agreement, Customer
acknowledges it has no ownership or other interest in the Indicia and
shall make no claim to such Indicia.
d. Without limiting the foregoing or anything in this Agreement, Customer
expressly agrees that accruals shall be only for qualifying purchases
of specific Products or Software for its own use and not for resale.
e. Without limiting the foregoing or anything in this Agreement, Customer
expressly agrees to submit requests for reimbursement for qualifying
promotions within ninety days after deployment of the subject
promotional activity and to utilize reimbursement funds within one
year of the time the accrual is reported to Customer.
USE OF MARKS

codes, Co-Marketing Brand and logo or other symbols (collectively

permitted by the Program Documentation. Seller hereby grants Customer
permission to use Indicia in Customer's marketing and advertising of,
and in Customer's publicity relating to, the Products and Agreements
identified in Program Documentation, PROVIDED such use conforms to
Seller
<PAGE>
standards and guidelines contained in the Program Documentation which
Seller may furnish from time to time. Without limiting the terms of
such Program Documentation, the following shall also apply: (1)
Customer may not conduct business under Seller's name or logo; (2)

identify Customer or Customer's products or services except as
specifically permitted by the Seller Co-Marketing Program Office
identified in the Program Documentation; and (3) Customer may not use
any of Seller's Indicia in a manner that is likely to confuse the
public concerning the relationship of the parties. Customer's use of
Indicia shall inure to the benefit of Seller and shall not invest in
Customer any rights in or to the Indicia. All uses of Indicia by
Customer shall be subject to prepublication or pre-use review and
written approval by Seller. If, in Seller's judgment, any use of
Indicia by Customer is deemed detrimental to the Indicia or Seller's
reputation, or is deemed otherwise undesirable, Seller may withdraw
such permission without liability as a result thereof.
b. Customer agrees that it has no exclusive right to use of Indicia as
defined herein in any Market or for any Product identified herein.

promote, market, sell and/or install Products, to use the Indicia and

escalation within fifteen (15) days after the date of escalation, either party
shall have the right to submit the dispute to a sole mediator selected by the
parties which shall be a nonbinding mediation. If not thus resolved, it shall be
referred to a sole arbitrator, experienced in wireless
<PAGE>
infrastructure and transactions, selected by the parties within thirty (30) days
of the mediation or, in the absence of such selection, by the American
Arbitration Association, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding
on both parties. The arbitrator may determine issues of arbitrability, but may
not award punitive damages or limit, expand or otherwise modify the terms of
this Agreement. All post award proceedings shall be governed by the United
States Arbitration Act. Each party shall bear the cost of preparing and
presenting its case. The cost of the arbitration, including the fees and
expenses of the arbitrator, will be shared equally by the parties unless the
award otherwise provides. The parties, their representatives, other participants
and the mediator and arbitrator shall hold the existence, content and result of
mediation and arbitration in confidence, except as such disclosure may be
necessary for the purpose of recording or otherwise acting upon the arbitrator's
award.

the sole responsibility of Customer.
2.6 PRODUCT CHANGES
Prior to the shipment of a Product, Seller may at any time make changes in
a Product furnished pursuant to this Agreement, or modify the drawings and
published specifications relating thereto, or substitute Products of later
design to fill an order, provided the changes, modifications, or substitutions
under normal and proper use do not impact upon the Form, Fit, or Function of an
ordered Product as identified in Seller's specifications.
Seller shall notify Customer, usually at least one (1) year, before Seller
discontinues accepting orders for an item of Seller's Manufactured Product sold
u this Agreement. Where Seller offers a product for sale that is equivalent in
Form, Fit, and Function, the notification period may vary.
Seller further agrees that, in issuing Licensed Material Updates and
Licensed Material Generic Releases of Network Wireless System Licensed
Materials, Seller shall assure that any changes and modifications to existing
features and
<PAGE>
functionalities effected thereby shall not result in a Material Service Impact.
Seller agrees to maintain a standard, supported, generic version of the
Licensed Materials necessary for or integral to operation of Products furnished
by Seller pursuant to this Agreement for a period of not less than seven (7)
years from the effective date of this Agreement. If Seller ceases to maintain a
standard, supported, generic version of any such Licensed Materials furnished by
Seller pursuant to this Agreement, and such maintenance is not available from
another entity, then Seller shall furnish Customer, under a suitable
confidentiality agreement, to the extent that it is authorized to do so, the
then existing Licensed Materials Source Code, Licensed Materials development
programs, and associated documentation for such standard version to the extent
necessary for Customer to maintain and enhance for its own Use the standard
version of that Licensed Material for which it has the right to Use.
Seller agrees that it shall use all reasonable efforts to qualify as
Seller's Manufactured Product any Vendor Items orderable under this Agreement,
the unavailability of which would result in a Material Service Impact. If such
efforts are successful, such item shall thereafter be treated as Seller
Manufactured Product for purposes of Section 2.7 "CONTINUING PRODUCT/SUPPORT-
PARTS AND SERVICES." If such item cannot be so qualified, Seller agrees that it
will use all reasonable efforts to establish or locate a secondary source for
such item, to identify an item of equivalent Form, Fit, and Function, or to take
other steps, so as to minimize the circumstances in which Seller shall not be
able to provide the notice of discontinuance and the continuing supply of Repair
Parts and repair Services as contemplated by Section 2.7 "CONTINUING
PRODUCT/SUPPORT-PARTS AND SERVICES."
2.7 CONTINUING PRODUCT SUPPORT- PARTS AND SERVICES
In addition to repairs provided for under Product Warranty, Seller offers
repair Services and Repair Parts in accordance with Seller's repair and Repair
Parts practices and term and conditions then in effect, for Seller's Products
furnished pursuant to this Agreement. Such repair Services and Repair Parts
shall be available while Seller is manufacturing or stocking such Products or
Repair Parts, but in no event less than five (5) years after such Product's
discontinued availability effective date. Seller may use either new,
remanufactured, reconditioned, refurbished, or functionally
<PAGE>
equivalent Products or parts in the furnishing of repairs or replacements under
this Agreement.
If during the agreed to support period Seller is unable to provide Repair
Part(s) and/or repair Service(s) and a functionally equivalent replacement has
not been designated, Seller shall advise Customer, by written notice prior to
such discontinuance to allow Customer to plan appropriately, and if Seller is
unable to identify another source of supply for such Repair Part(s) and/or
repair Service(s), Seller shall provide Customer, upon request, with non-
exclusive licenses for Product Manufacturing Information to the extent Seller
can grant such licenses, so that Customer will have sufficient information to
have manufactured, or obtain such Service or parts from other sources. License
terms will be in accordance with Seller's licensing procedures then in effect.
2.8 SPECIFICATIONS
Upon request, Seller shall provide to Customer, at no charge, two (2)
copies of Seller's available commercial specifications applicable to Products
orderable hereunder. Additional copies are available at the applicable price
therefor.
2.9 CUSTOMER TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Seller provides Customer Technical Support for the PCS through the Customer
Technical Support Organization (CTSO). The CTSO provides diagnostic center
support, performance measurement and system engineering services at its then
standard prices, term and conditions for such services. Special, unusual or
customized services may be billable, depending upon the nature of the request.
Seller shall provide Customer access to emergency technical diagnostic
assistance Service, twenty-four (24) hours a day, 365/366 days per year. Such
Service is currently provided at no charge to Seller's customers. Seller agrees
that during the term of this Agreement it shall not commence to charge Customer
for such Service unless and until it commences generally to charge its other
customers in comparable circumstances for such Services. In all cases, however,
such Service shall be free of charge to Customer if it relates to service
affecting warranty defects.
2.9A CLASS A AND B CHANGES
<PAGE>
Class A and B Changes - After a Product has been shipped to Customer, if
Seller issues a Class A or Class B Change, or where modification to correct an
error in field documentation is to be introduced, Seller shall promptly notify
Customer of such change.
Customer may notify Seller of any problems which it considers to require
Class A Change. Seller shall then make a determination as to whether such
problem requires a Class A Change. However, if Customer disagrees with Seller's
determination, then, Customer may submit such disagreement to arbitration in
accordance with Section 1.40.
With respect to a Product which is subject to a Class A Change, Seller will
implement such change, at its expense, if such change is announced (or Customer
notifies Seller that such change is required) within seven (7) years from the
date of shipment of the applicable Product, by, at Seller's option, either (1)
modifying the Product at Customer's site; (2) modifying the Product which
Customer has returned to Seller in accordance with Seller's instructions; or (3)
replacing the Product requiring the change with replacement Product for which
such change has already been implemented.
If Seller did not engineer the original Product and, accordingly, office
records are not available to Seller, and/or Seller did not install the original
Product, Seller will, at its expense, provide the generic Class A Change
information and associated parts for Customer's use in applying such change, if
it is announced within seven (7) years from the date of shipment of that
Product. Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the first attempt to
implement such change cannot reasonably be expected to be successful without the
on-site assistance of Seller, Seller also shall, at no expense to Customer,
furnish reasonable amounts of on-site assistance to effect the first such
change.
If Seller determines that the applicable Product or part thereof is readily
returnable, Customer, at its expense, shall remove such Product or part and
return it to Seller's designated location and Seller, at its expense, shall
implement such change (or replace it with Product or part for which such change
has already been implemented) and return such changed (or replacement) Product
or part to Customer's designated location within the Territory. Reinstallation
shall be performed by Customer, at its expense.
<PAGE>
In unusual situations where Customer's spares or plug-in stocks are not
available to implement a rotational program for a Class A Change, Seller will
provide a seed stock.
In administering the Class A Change procedure provided for herein, Seller
shall use all reasonable efforts to assure that implementation of a Class A
Change will not result in the System being out of service or otherwise result in
a Material Service Impact. If, in spite of such efforts, such an impact would
occur during implementation of the change, Seller shall work with Customer and
Seller shall use its best efforts to establish procedures to ensure that such
impact will be minimized and limited to off peak hours.
If Customer does not make or permit Seller to make a Class A Change as
stated above within one (1) year from the date of change notification or two (2)
years in the case of Customer Change Notices (CCNs), subsequent changes, repairs
or replacements affected by the failure to make such change may, at Seller's
option, be billed to Customer whether or not such subsequent change, repair or
replacement is covered under warranty.
If requested, Class A Changes announced more than seven (7) years from date
of shipment will be implemented at Customer's expense.
If Seller issues a Class B Change after a Product has been shipped to
Customer, Seller shall promptly notify Customer of such Class B Change. If such
Class B Change is being generally offered to Seller's customers then Seller
shall perform such Class B Change for Customer at no cost to Customer. With
respect to Class B Changes not being generally offered to Seller's customers,
Customer may request Seller's performance of such Class B Change; provided,
however, that Seller may charge Customer its then-standard rates for such Class
B Change.
All change notifications for Class A Changes and Class B Changes shall
contain the following information: (1) a description of the change; (2)
reason(s) for the change; (3) the price impact such change will have, if known,
(4) the effective date of the change; (5) the procedure for implementing the
change, and (6) the implementation schedule for the change.
In administering the Class A Change procedure provided for in this Section
2.10, and where the items necessary to effect a change are in limited
availability, Seller agrees to allocate reasonably such items among its
customers in a way that does not
<PAGE>
discriminate against Customer on account of any lesser volume of business they
may give to Seller than other customers may give to Seller.
Epidemic Failures - In the event that Customer experiences failures of a
Product, which Customer's Chief Technical Officer (the "Customer CTO") believes
in good faith to be excessive, the Customer CTO may bring such failures to the
attention of Seller by giving written notice to Seller and Seller shall give
highest priority to the remedy of the cause of such failures. If such failures
are as a result of defects or nonconformitites which would be covered by the
applicable warranty provisions of this Agreement, they shall be dealt with under
this Section 2.10 as a matter requiring a Class A Change.
If such failures have occurred in a circuit board, radio base station
subassembly or other Product that is intended for deinstallation and
reinstallation by Customer in the ordinary course of business, and such failures
have materially depleted Customer's spares complement of such board, subassembly
or Product, Seller shall, without charge to Customer, supply to Customer such
additional units of the affected board, subassembly, or Product as are necessary
to maintain an adequate emergency replacement stock, until implementation of a
permanent remedy. Upon implementation of the permanent remedy, such additional
boards, subassemblies or Products shall, at Customer's expense, be returned to
Seller in the same condition as originally supplied by Seller, reasonable wear
and tear accepted.
Where excessive failure occurs in a Product the unavailability of which
would result in a Material Service Impact, Seller agrees to use, at no
additional cost to Customer, expedited freight handling when forwarding fixes,
replacements or additional Products.
Disputes - The parties acknowledge that because the classification of
charges will determine whether charges to Products must be performed at Seller's
expense, the parties may dispute the classification given to an identified
problem, including alleged problems of excessive failures identified by the
Customer CTO. If the Customer CTO in good faith contends that such failures are
resulting or shall result in a Material Service Impact or, if not remedied, are
likely to result in such an impact, Seller shall, upon written request of the
Customer CTO, undertake to remedy the identified problem hereunder. If it is
ultimately determined that the problem should not be classified as a problem
requiring Class A Change treatment,
<PAGE>
Seller shall be entitled to invoice Customer at Seller's then-standard charges
for the work to remedy such problem.
2.10 PRODUCT WARRANTY

furnished by Seller, and Customer notifies Seller in writing of
such defect or nonconformity promptly after Customer discovers
such defect or nonconformity and follows Seller's instructions
<PAGE>
regarding the return of the defective or nonconforming Product,
Seller shall take the following action:
(i) Seller, at its option, shall attempt first to repair or
replace such Product without charge at its facility or, if
not feasible, provide a refund or credit based on the
original purchase price, and installation charges if
installed by Seller, provided however, if such removal will

required prior to any such removal. Customer must return
the Product to Seller for repair and replacement, except as
noted below.
(ii) Where Seller has elected to repair or replace a Product
which has been installed by Seller and Seller ascertains
that the Product is not readily returnable by Customer,
Seller will repair or replace the Product at Customer's
site.
d) If Seller has elected to repair or replace a defective Product,
Customer is responsible for removing and reinstalling and, in
addition, for on-site repair or replacement of cable and wire
Products, Customer must make the Product accessible for repair or

representatives or agents; use in a manner not in accordance with
Seller's or vendor's specifications, or operating instructions or
failure of Customer to apply previously applicable Seller
modifications and corrections. In addition, Seller makes no
warranty with respect to Products which have had their serial

fuses, light bulbs, motor brushes, and the like.
i) THE FOREGOING PRODUCT WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND ARE IN LIEU OF
ALL OTHER EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A

If Customer and Seller have a disagreement as to whether or not a problem
is a defect or non-conformity covered by this warranty, Seller agrees to correct
the problem and bill Customer for the corrective action under Section "Invoices
and Terms of Payment" of the Agreement. Seller will segregate such bills. Such
disputed warranty claims will be subject to resolution by the arbitration in
accordance with Section 1.40 of this Agreement, and if resolved in Customer's
favor, Seller agrees to credit Customer for the costs of corrective action
covered by warranty.
<PAGE>
Seller agrees that if Customer acquired equipment, software, or licensed
materials (including, without limitation, radio frequency and network equipment,
but not including components internal to Products furnished under this
Agreement) from a source other than Seller, and if Customer installs such an
item in or interconnects such an item with any PCS System, Products or Licensed
Materials obtained under this Agreement, Seller agrees that Seller's warranties
hereunder shall not be voided or affected; provided, however, Seller's
warranties shall not apply to damage, defects, nonconformities, or degradation
in performance in Products and/or Licensed Materials purchased (or, with respect
to Licensed Materials, licensed) under this Agreement to the extent they are
caused by installation or interconnection of the item in violation of Seller's
instructions, which such instructions shall be based upon reasonable and
appropriate technical considerations, or caused by (but not simply revealed by)
such installed or interconnected items. Seller shall be entitled to bill
Customer Seller's Standard Charges for Seller's efforts to identify and/or
correct any such damage, defect, nonconformity, or degradation in performance so
caused, and to test and transport the corrected item. Nothing in this paragraph
shall itself be deemed to require Seller to publish interface information or
otherwise to facilitate such installation or interconnection of items not
obtained from Seller.
If as a result of a defect or non-conformity covered by this warranty a
Material Service Impact is experienced, Seller shall at its sole cost and
expense repair or correct the problem or replace the defective Products or
Licensed Materials and ship any required replacement Products (or components
thereof) or replacement Licensed Materials to Customer as promptly as possible.
If such repair, replacement or installation or replacement Products or Licensed
Materials require the Services of Seller service personnel at Customer's sites,
Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, dispatch such service personnel as
are required to correct such problem as promptly as possible upon being notified
thereof by Customer.
The warranties provided for Licensed Materials are transferable to the
extent provided in Section 3.11 "LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY" of this Agreement.
The warranties on Products (including any warranties for the installation and
repair thereof) shall be transferable along with the Products with which they
are associated. No charge shall be made by Seller to Customer in respect of any
such transfer of warranty; but, Seller shall have the right to charge the
transferee a nominal
<PAGE>
fee to compensate Seller for registering the transferee as entitled to the
transferred warranty and otherwise readying Seller to react to warranty claims
made by the transferee. Warranties provided in this Agreement are otherwise non-
transferable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of the transfer of
Licensed Materials or Products it would be used or operated in a country other
than the United States, the warranties furnished hereunder shall not be
transferable; however, should the Warranty Period for such item have not expired
by the time of such transfer, Seller agrees to offer to the transferee Seller's
standard warranty for such item offered (or intended to be offered) by Seller in
such country, if any, for the remainder of such unexpired Warranty Period.
Furthermore, Seller shall have no obligation hereunder to honor any warranty
claim made by any equipment manufacturer competitor of Seller, including any
party whose principal business is the sales of new or used telecommunications
equipment, it being the intention of the parties that only claims from a user of
such equipment directly in the provision of telecommunications services to the
public are authorized under any transferred warranty.

g) THE FOREGOING SOFTWARE WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND ARE IN LIEU
OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE
SELLER'S OBLIGATION TO CORRECT, REPLACE, CREDIT, OR REFUND AS SET
FORTH ABOVE IN THIS WARRANTY.
If Customer and Seller have a disagreement as to whether or not a problem
is a defect or non-conformity covered by this warranty, Seller agrees to correct
the problem and bill Customer for the corrective action under Section "Invoices
and Term of Payment" of the Agreement- Seller will segregate such bills. Such
disputed warranty claims will be subject to resolution by the arbitration in

covered by warranty.
Seller agrees that if Customer acquired equipment, software, or licensed

but not including components internal to Products furnished under this
Agreement) from a source other than Seller, and if Customer installs such an
item in or interconnects such an item with any PCS System, Products or Licensed
Materials obtained under this Agreement, Seller agrees that Seller's warranties
hereunder shall not be voided or affected; provided, however, Seller's
warranties shall not apply to damage, defects, nonconformities, or degradation
in performance in Products and/or Licensed Materials purchased (or, with respect
to Licensed Materials, licensed)under this Agreement to the extent they are
caused by installation or interconnection of the item in violation of Seller's
instructions, which such instructions shall be based upon reasonable and
appropriate technical considerations, or caused by (but not simply revealed by)
such installed or interconnected items. Seller shall be entitled to bill
Customer Seller's Standard Charges for Seller's efforts to identify and/or
correct any such damage, defect, nonconformity, or degradation in performance so
caused, and to test and transport the corrected item. Nothing in this paragraph
shall itself be deemed to require Seller to publish interface information or
otherwise to
<PAGE>
facilitate such installation or interconnection of items not obtained from
Seller.
If as a result of a defect or non-conformity covered by this warranty a
Material Service Impact is experienced, seller shall at its sole cost and
expense repair or correct the problem or replace the defective Products or
Licensed Materials and ship any required replacement Products (or components
thereof) or replacement Licensed Materials to Customer as promptly as possible.
If such repair, replacement, or installation or replacement Products or Licensed

Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, dispatch such service personnel as
are required to correct such problem as promptly as possible upon being notified
thereof by Customer.
The warranties provided for Licensed Materials are transferable to the
extent provided in Section 3.11 "LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY" of this Agreement. The
warranties on Products (including any warranties for the installation and repair
thereof) shall be transferable along with the Products with which they are
associated. No charge shall be made by Seller to Customer in respect of any such
transfer of warranty; but, Seller shall have the right to charge the transferee
a nominal fee to compensate Seller for registering the transferee as entitled to
the transferred warranty and otherwise readying Seller to react to warranty
claims made by the transferee. Warranties provided in this Agreement are
otherwise non-transferable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of the
transfer of Licensed Materials or Products it would be used or operated in a
country other than the United States, the warranties furnished hereunder shall
not be transferable; however, should the Warranty Period for such item have not
expired by the time of such transfer, Seller agrees to offer to the transferee
Seller's standard warranty for such item offered (or intended to be offered) by
Seller in such country, if any, for the remainder of such unexpired Warranty
Period Furthermore, Seller shall have no obligation hereunder to honor any
warranty claim made by any equipment manufacturer competitor of Seller,
including any party whose principal business is the sales of new or used
telecommunications equipment, it being the intention of the parties that only
claims from a user of such equipment directly in the provision of
telecommunications services to the public are authorized under any transferred
warranty.

not bill, collect, or remit any state or local sales or use tax with respect to
the license of Software under this Agreement, or with respect to the performance
of Services related to such software, which Customer represents to Seller is not
properly due under Customer's interpretation of the law of the taxing
jurisdiction, if (1) Customer submits to Seller a written explanation of the
authorities upon which Customer bases its position that the license or
performance of Services is not subject to sales or use tax, and (2) Seller
agrees that there is authority for Customer's position, provided, however, that
Customer shall hold Seller harmless for all costs and expenses (including, but
not limited to, taxes and related charges payable under clause TAXES, and
attorneys fees) arising from the assertion by a taxing authority that the
license of, or the performance of Services with respect to, the Software was
subject to state or local sales or use tax.
3.11 LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY
a. Where Customer elects to transfer Products furnished under this
Agreement to a third party and where such Products will remain in
place and operational for the purpose of continuing to provide
wireless telecommunications services in the area for which such
Products were installed, or where Customer elects to transfer Products
to another of its Markets or to an Operating Affiliate for reuse
within the United States (including Puerto Rico), Customer may
transfer its right to use the Licensed Materials furnished under this
Agreement for Use with such Products without Seller's consent and
without the payment of any additional Licensed Materials right-to-use
fee(s) by the transferee, except where feature or size sensitive units
are a factor, but only under the following conditions:
(1) The right to use such Licensed Materials may be transferred
only together with the
<PAGE>
Products with which Customer has a right to use such
Licensed Materials, and such right to use the Licensed
Materials shall continue to be limited to Use with such

Materials warranty and Licensed Materials maintenance for
such Licensed Materials as the transferor, provided the
transferee continues to pay the fees, including recurring
Licensed Materials Update fees, if any, associated with such
Licensed Materials or maintenance.
b. Except as may otherwise in this Agreement be provided expressly,
Customer shall have no right to transfer Licensed Materials furnished
by Seller under this Agreement without consent of Seller. If Customer
elects to transfer Products purchased under this Agreement for which
it does not under this Agreement have the right to transfer the
related Licensed Materials, Seller agrees that upon written request of
the transferee of such Products, or of Customer, Seller shall not
without reasonable cause fail to grant to the transferee a license to
use such Licensed Materials with the Products upon Seller's then
standard license terms and conditions, including any and all recurring
or continuing fees associated with such Licensed Materials, but
excluding any nonrecurring initial license fees previously paid for
such Licensed Materials by Customer.

shall be known as "Year 2000 Capable."
b. When Customer purchases more than one version of Year 2000 Capable
software, if they are intended by Seller to interoperate, all such
versions of Year 2000 Capable Software will be compatible and
interoperate in such manner as to process between them, as applicable,
date related data correctly as described in Section (a) above.
c. The foregoing sets forth an additional warranty for Seller's Products
and Software. The failure of the Products and Software to meet the
foregoing
<PAGE>
requirements during the warranty period set forth in subsection 3.8(b)
entitles Customer to the remedies set forth in subsection 3.8(c).
d. Nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed to make Seller responsible
for the Year 2000 capability of any third party Software

4. ARTICLE IV
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ENGINEERING, INSTALLATION, AND OTHER SERVICES
4.1 GENERAL
The provisions of this Article IV shall be applicable to the furnishing by
Seller of Services other than Services furnished pursuant to any other Article
of this Agreement.
4.2 ACCEPTANCE OF INSTALLATION
At reasonable times during the course of Seller's installation, Customer,
at its request may, or upon Seller's request, shall, inspect completed portions
of such installation. Seller shall provide Customer with at least seven (7) days
prior notice before Seller commences installation completion tests, and Customer
shall have the right to observe Seller's testing of the Product being installed
to determine that such testing and the test results are in accordance with
Seller's acceptance standards or acceptance procedures, as described in
Attachment D. If Customer does not attend Seller's tests, Seller shall proceed
with the tests and promptly provide the test results to Customer. The
installation work shall be considered complete and ready for acceptance by
Customer when the Product has been installed and tested by Seller in accordance
with its standard procedures, and Seller represents such Product to be in
working order. Upon completion of the installation, Seller will submit to
Customer a Notice of Completion, pursuant to section "1.27 -Notices" of this
Agreement. The issuance of said Notice of Completion shall be deemed
"Provisional Acceptance."
Upon receipt by Customer from Seller of a Notice of Completion, Customer
has the right to perform an Acceptance Test
<PAGE>
with respect to Products, Software or other items furnished pursuant to this
Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, Customer shall have an
Acceptance Test Period of thirty (30) consecutive calendar days from the date of
the Notice of Completion to conduct the Acceptance Test. The job will be
considered as meeting Final Acceptance unless Seller receives notification to
the contrary within thirty (30) days after submitting the notice of completion.
In Revenue Service at any time after completion of the installation shall
automatically constitute Final Acceptance of the relevant installation. The
provisions of this Section 4.2 shall not apply to acceptance of an Initial
System in each Market. A separate process for determination of System Acceptance
for an Initial System shall be conducted pursuant to the provisions of
Attachment D.
If an item so fails the Acceptance Test during the Acceptance Test Period,
the Acceptance Date shall be extended on a day-to-day basis until the item as
modified, is accepted. If no notification is submitted to Seller by Customer
within such Acceptance Test Period stating that the item has initially failed
the Acceptance Test, then the date on which such period commences shall be the
Acceptance Date. When an item has initially failed acceptance testing, prior to
Customer resuming the Acceptance Test Customer and Seller must agree that all
problems which would cause a Material Service Impact have been corrected by
Seller. Should the parties disagree as to whether a problem would cause a
Material Service Impact, the matter will be submitted to arbitration in
accordance with Section 1.40. Problems which would not cause Material Service
Impact shall be corrected by Seller at Seller's expense as quickly as
practicable after Acceptance.
No later than thirty (30) days after the effective date of this Agreement,
Seller shall provide Customer with a proposed Acceptance Test Plan (ATP).
Customer shall within 30 days of receipt of Seller's ATP, provide proposed
changes or additions to the ATP. Seller, upon receipt of such Customer proposed
changes or additions, shall provide a final ATP to Customer within seven (7)
days. The completed ATP shall be incorporated as Attachment D to this Agreement.

RF Performance Criteria for System Acceptance
1.0 Metrics and procedures. The performance metrics defined below (section
5.0) are part of the contract. The procedures for measuring the performance
metrics shall be executed as described below. The metrics and associated
measurement techniques apply to the entire as-built TDMA system (i.e., all
clusters). Metrics assessed on a per cluster basis may be computed but are for
information only and shall not be used in assessing system acceptance.
2.0 Test setup. All tests shall be performed using test vehicles equipped with
a calibrated test mobile(s) that meet or exceed the minimum performance
specifications (TIA/EIA IS-136 and IS-137) for a TDMA mobile subscriber unit.
Test mobiles shall have fixed attenuators connected between the transceiver and
antenna to compensate for the test setup. The compensation shall be computed to
render the test data equivalent to that which would be obtained with an
operational subscriber unit under common conditions (e.g., attenuation shall be
added in order to compensate for the benefit offered by the additional gain and
height of the test vehicle antenna.). The values of any attenuators shall be
mutually agreed upon and determined via calibration procedure. No attenuators
shall be added into the mobile path to compensate for vehicle or building
penetration losses. The net value of attenuation used shall take into account
the cable loss from test vehicle antenna to test unit, as this loss would not
present in an operational subscriber unit under common conditions.
3.0 RF Design. The RF design is to be done by the Customer and audited by the
Vendor; accordingly, mutual agreement shall be reached in determining the design
service area. The design service area consists of those areas predicted via
design tools and processes to be covered. In addition, for the RF warranty to
be valid, the Vendor and the Customer shall mutually agree to all design
parameters and translations (e.g. handoff thresholds, frequency plan, C/I [ratio
of carrier to cochannel interference power], C/N [ratio of carrier to total
impairment power], BER [bit error rate], antenna orientations).
4.0 Coverage Area and Valid Data The coverage area for test shall consist of
mutually agreed upon test drive routes within the design service area (see
section 3.0). For purposes of data collection and analysis, the test drive
routes shall be divided into spatial subdivisions called geographic bins. The
bins shall be of mutually agreed size. During data collection, the
<PAGE>
test routes shall be driven at speeds that are representative of normal
subscriber behavior. To be valid, data collected must be taken within the design
service area (see section 3.0). Only valid data shall be used in computing the
performance metrics (see section 5.0). In-building coverage via external TDMA
infrastructure shall not be tested as part of acceptance.
5.0 Performance Metrics
The following performance metrics shall be satisfied for acceptance. All test
drive data shall be collected and analyzed using Vendor's AutoPace and TEMS (or
mutually agreed equivalent) tools.
5.1 Bit Error Rate (BER). Forward and reverse links shall be characterized
separately. Data shall be averaged per geographic bin in order to obtain an
average BER score that characterizes that bin's location. Bin size must be
mutually agreed between Vendor and Buyer and need not necessarily be uniform;
however, a minimum of 5 seconds of data per bin must be used in computing the
BER score for that bin.
Of the valid data collected (see 4.0), the worst 1% of bins may be discarded.
The remaining 99% of the bins shall together constitute the non-excluded area.
The remaining average BER values for all bins shall be averaged together. For
acceptance, this system average shall not exceed 3%.
5.2 Dropped Calls. Data shall be collected and analyzed as follows. A
sequence of test calls shall be placed along the test drive routes. The number
of calls placed shall be sufficient to ensure statistical significance of the
results (i.e., at least 1,500 calls over the entire system unless mutually
agreed to be different). The duration of each call shall not exceed 100
seconds. The dropped call rate shall be the ratio of successfully originated
calls that were dropped to the total number of successfully originated calls. A
successfully originated call is defined as a call that has entered the voice
state. This definition includes drops for any reason, including handoff
failures. Only data collected within the non-excluded area (see section 5.1)
shall be included in this analysis. For acceptance, the system dropped call
rate shall be less than or equal to 1.7%.
5.3 Established Calls. Data shall be collected and analyzed as follows. A
sequence of test calls shall be placed along the test drive routes. The number
of calls placed shall be sufficient to ensure statistical significance of the
results.
<PAGE>
The established call success rate shall be computed as the ratio of the total
number of successfully originated and terminated calls to the total number of
valid call attempts. A successfully originated/terminated call is defined as a
call that has entered the voice state. A valid origination call attempt is
defined as an origination attempt via a correctly dialed number to a non-busy
radio/number at the cell/switch. A valid termination call attempt is defined as
a termination attempt via a correctly dialed number from the switch through a
nonbusy radio to an idle test mobile. Only data collected within the non-
excluded area (see section 5.1) shall be included in this analysis. For
acceptance, the established call success rate shall meet or exceed 98%.
6.0 A link budget and associated projections of coverage probability are
included in Appendix 1. The presence of this information within this appendix
does not, explicitly or implicitly, constitute warranties on the values
provided, with the exception of values for Vendor provided equipment as
referenced in Section __ of this contract. These values are for information
only. The performance warranty is based only the performance metrics specified
above as computed on valid data collected on the test drive routes.

Engineer's Notes
This document provides high level specifications for modifications to the PCS
TDMA MiniCell needed to support TeleCorp. Primary objectives of these
modifications are the following:
1. Provide support for any two (2) different PCS frequency blocks on every
sector of the MiniCell. This capability will give the service provider the
ability to perform radio frequency changes remotely from the MSC via
software command.
2. Reduce the antenna and antenna cable counts by providing double duplexing
tower top low noise amplifier (DTT-LNA). The DTT-LNA will not be block-
specific and will thus support multiple PCS blocks as discussed in item 1.
Specifications for multiple band support, final product:
The modified PCS TDMA MiniCell shall operate in any two(2) different PCS
frequency blocks on each physical antenna face (i.e., sector). It shall support
up to 8 traffic radios per sector, which can be allocated in any combination
between the 2 blocks. Radio channel assignments shall be made from the ECP
(using current APX RCV), and for a given radio, channel assignments within
either block will be allowed.
The modified PCS TDMA MiniCell shall be operated only with the double duplex
tower top Low Noise Amplifier (DTT-LNA). All current radio diagnostics shall be
supported. Antenna diagnostics shall be provided via the current transmit
antenna functional test.
The modified PCS TDMA MiniCell shall be available only in the current Type 3
configuration; requiring a primary and one growth cabinets as the minimum
configuration.
The current feature set shall be available.
Note that there may need to be certain restrictions on allowable combinations,
or spacing of channels due to intermodulation performance. For example, 2
channels that are spaced 20 MHz apart will cause a 3rd order intermodulation
product to fall directly on the receive frequency of the lower channel. This
situation should not be allowed. Every effort will be made to minimize these
situations, and the customer will be provided with equipage recommendations.
Specifications for multiple band support, interim product
The interim modified PCS TDMA MiniCell shall operate in any two(2) different PCS
frequency blocks on each physical antenna face (i.e., sector). It shall support
up to 8 traffic radios per sector and on each sector, a maximum of 4 per block,
which will be allocated in pairs between the two blocks. Radio channel
assignments within a block shall be made from the ECP (using current APX RCV).
In addition, each radio may be enabled and disabled from APX RCV.
<PAGE>
The interim modified PCS TDMA MiniCell shall be operated only with the double
duplex tower top Low Noise Amplifier (DTT-LNA).
The interim modified PCS TDMA MiniCell shall be available only in the current
Type 3 configuration; requiring a primary and one growth cabinets as the minimum
configuration.
Specifications for the Double Duplex Tower Top Low Noise Amplifier:
The double duplex tower top LNA (DTT-LNA) shall consist of two parts: the Duplex
Masthead Antenna Unit (DMAU) and the Duplex Frame Receive Unit (DFRU). The DMAU
will be mounted on the antenna mast, near the antenna to minimize the cable
length. The DFRU shall be mounted within the MiniCell enclosure; it replaces the
current FRU used in non-duplex tower top applications. The combination of DMAU
and DFRU shall provide a common cable for transmit and receive signals for the
run up the antenna tower, and shall allow a common antenna to be used for
transmit and receive. DTT-LNA shall be required for both diversity receive
paths, when diversity is equipped, and both receive paths will be duplexed with
transmit paths if more than one traffic radio is equipped. The DMAU and DFRU
shall always be used together.
The DMAU and DFRU shall be designed to support 60 MHz base station transmit and
receive bands. The noise figure for the entire MiniCell receive path, measured
at the input of the DMAU, and including the combination of DMAU, up to 7 dB
antenna cable loss, DFRU, RF switch, EDRU and frame cabling shall not exceed 5.5
dB.
The DFRU shall provide DC power to the DMAU over the antenna cable. The DFRU
shall monitor the DMAU current alarm and report alarms to the remote ECP, in the
same manner as the current MAU/FRU combination.

Investor shall contribute to the capital of the Company an additional amount
equal to the excess of its Aggregate Commitment over its Initial Cash
Contribution in the amounts and on the dates specified on Schedule I (or such
earlier dates as may be established in accordance with the terms of the
Stockholders Agreement); provided that, in all events, the aggregate amount of
the Initial Cash Contributions plus the additional capital contributions in 1998
shall be no less than the Company's "operating losses," determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, for the 1998 calendar year.
In addition, if and only if the Supplemental Closing occurs, each Cash
Equity Investor shall contribute to the capital of the Company supplemental
capital contributions in the amounts and on the dates specified in Schedule I

The obligation of each Cash Equity Investor to make such additional
cash contributions in respect of its Aggregate Commitment and Supplemental
Commitment in accordance with this Section 2.2 and Section 3.10 of the

--------
Commitment." Nothing herein shall be construed to require any Cash Equity

Investor to make contributions in an aggregate amount in excess of its Aggregate
Commitment plus, if applicable, its Supplemental Commitment or later than the
third anniversary of the Closing Date.
(b) Each Cash Equity Investor acknowledges and agrees that, if the
Closing occurs, its obligation to make capital contributions to the Company
after the Closing Date in respect of its Unfunded Commitment constitutes an
irrevocable and unconditional obligation, and shall not be subject to
counterclaim, set-off, deduction or defense, or to abatement, suspension,
<PAGE>
deferment, diminution or reduction for any reason whatsoever. By way of
amplification, and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Cash Equity Investor
further acknowledges and agrees to fulfill its obligations in respect of its
Unfunded Commitment regardless of any claims it may have against any other
Person (whether or not related to the Transactions) and regardless of the
existence or non-existence of any facts or circumstances (whether or not such
facts and circumstances existed on the date hereof or the Closing Date or were
then known by it).

<PAGE>
(c) It is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction
where the character of its properties owned or held under lease or the nature of

necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the Transactions.

-----
The Section 8.2 Indemnified Party, Section 8.3 Indemnified Party, Section 8.4
Indemnified Party or Section 8.5 Indemnified Party Indemnified Party (each, an
"Indemnified Party"), as the case may be, shall give prompt written notice of
-----------------
such Claim to the indemnifying party (the "Indemnifying Party") under the
------------------
applicable Section, which party may assume the defense thereof, provided that
any delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all,
that it is materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. The
Indemnified Party shall have the right to approve any counsel selected by the
Indemnifying Party and to approve the terms of any proposed settlement, such
approval not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld (unless such settlement
provides only, as to the Indemnified Party, the payment of money damages
actually paid by the Indemnifying Party and a complete release of the
Indemnified Party in respect of the claim in question). Notwithstanding any of
the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this Article VIII shall not be
construed so as to provide for the indemnification of any Indemnified Party for
any liability to the extent (but only to the extent) that such
<PAGE>
indemnification would be in violation of applicable law or that such liability
may not be waived, modified or limited under applicable law, but shall be
construed so as to effectuate the provisions of this Article VIII to the fullest
extent permitted by law.
(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party undertakes the
defense of any Claim, the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party
advised as to all material developments in connection with such Claim,
including, but not limited to, promptly furnishing the Indemnified Party with
copies of all material documents filed or served in connection therewith.
(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the
defense of any Claim within ten business days after receiving written notice
thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, subject to the Indemnifying
Party's right to assume the defense pursuant to the provisions of this Article
VIII, to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim for the
account of the Indemnifying Party. Unless and until the Indemnified Party
assumes the defense of any Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall advance to the
Indemnified Party any of its reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any such action or
proceeding. Each Indemnified Party shall agree in writing prior to any such
advancement that, in the event he or it receives any such advance, such
Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for such fees, costs
and expenses to the extent that it shall be determined that he or it was not
entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII.
(d) In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be required to pay
in connection with any Claim for more than one firm of counsel (and local
counsel) for each of the following groups of Indemnified Parties: (i) AT&T PCS
and TWR, their respective Affiliates, and the shareholders, members, managers,
officers, employees, agents and/or the legal representatives of any of them;
(ii) the Cash Equity Investors, their respective Affiliates, and the
shareholders, members, managers, officers, employees, agents and/or the legal
representatives of any of them; (iii) the TeleCorp Investors, their respective
Affiliates, and the shareholders, members, managers, officers, employees, agents
and/or the legal representatives of any of them; and (iv) the Company and the
Management Stockholders, their respective Affiliates, and the shareholders,
members, managers, officers, employees, agents and/or the legal representatives
of any of them.
8.7 Registration Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Article VIII, the indemnification and contribution provisions set forth in
Sections 5(e) and 5(f) of the Stockholders Agreement shall govern any claim made
with respect to the registration statements filed pursuant to Section 5 of the
Stockholders Agreement or sales made thereunder.
8.8 Limit on Indemnity. So long as the Company does not conduct any
business or engage in any activities other than those described in the first
sentence of the definition of "Business" (as such term is defined in the
Stockholders Agreement), each party waives its right to indemnification under
this Article VIII or any other right to assert any claim arising from any
inaccuracy in the Company's representations and warranties set forth in the
first and last sentence of Section 5.13 or the violation by the Company of the
covenant set forth in Section 6.6(d) to the extent such Section relates to
ineligible or prohibited activities of SBICs.

resells, or acts as Licensee's agent for, Company Communications Services
provided by Licensee, including bundling any such Company Communications

the extent the "other telecommunications services" referred to in clause (ii) of

3. AGREEMENT PERSONAL.
------------------
3.1 Personal to Licensee.
--------------------
(a) In recognition of the unique nature of the relationship between
Licensor and Licensee, the fact that Licensor would not be willing to enter into
an agreement such as this Agreement with any other party in any other
circumstances, and the unique nature of Licensee (including without limitation,
the fact that Licensee is partially owned by Licensor's Affiliate, AT&T Wireless
PCS Inc.), the parties agree that the rights, obligations and benefits of this
Agreement shall be personal to Licensee, and Licensor shall not be required to
accept performance from, or render performance to an entity other than Licensee
or even to Licensee itself in the event of a Change of Control of Licensee.
Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. (S) 365(c)(1)(A) (as it may be amended from time to time,
and including any successor to such provision), in the event of the Bankruptcy
of Licensee, this Agreement may not be assigned or assumed by Licensee (or
<PAGE>
any Successor) and Licensor shall be excused from rendering performance to, or
accepting performance from, Licensee or any Successor.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned to
the lenders (the "Lenders") named in the $435 million Credit Agreement (the
"Credit Agreement") dated the date hereof entered into between Licensee and the

-----------------------
understands it may have, or, in the future, may elect to enter into, agreements
with Licensor's Affiliates and that neither the execution or continuation nor
the renewal of any of these agreements will have any effect on this Agreement
and Licensee may choose to contract, or not, with Licensor's Affiliates as it
deems appropriate.
4. USE OF LICENSED MARKS AND OTHER MARKS.
-------------------------------------
4.1 Approved Licensee Marks. Licensee shall have the right from time to
-----------------------
time during the term hereof to create and use its own Marks, together with the
Licensed Marks, in connection with the Licensed Activities; provided that
Licensee provides Licensor with prior written notice of its desire to use any
such Marks owned by Licensee and Licensor approves Licensee's proposed use of
such Marks (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned). Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to approve or
disapprove any Marks proposed to be used by Licensee within 30 days of its
receipt of a written request for such approval. If Licensee has not received a
response from Licensor by the end of such 30-day period, Licensee shall have the
right to send a second written request for such approval to Licensor that states
expressly that, if Licensee does not receive a response from Licensor within 30
days after Licensor's receipt of such second request, Licensor shall be deemed
to have approved Licensee's proposed Mark or Marks. If Licensee does not receive
such response by the end of such second 30-day period, Licensor shall be deemed
to have approved such proposed Mark or Marks. Marks approved by Licensor in
accordance with this Section 4.1 shall be sometimes referred to herein as
"Approved Licensee Marks."
4.2 Marks To Be Used. Licensee shall conduct all Licensed Activities solely
----------------
under the Approved Licensee Marks, together with the Licensed Marks, all in
accordance with guidelines set forth on Schedule E.

------------------------------
replaces any of the Licensed Marks as they are used in any portion of Licensor's
business, and if Licensor requests Licensee to adopt and use any such modified
or replaced Licensed Marks, Licensee will adopt and use such modified or
replaced Licensed Marks and, in such event, such modified or replaced Licensed
Marks shall be considered the Licensed Marks contemplated by this Agreement;
provided that in such event, Licensee shall be granted a 180-day period during
which to phase-out its use of the superseded forms of the Licensed Marks, as
applicable, and during such 180-day period Licensee shall have the right to use
its existing inventory of Marketing Materials bearing the superseded forms of
the Licensed Marks, as applicable.
<PAGE>
4.4 Use of Additional Marks at Licensor's Request. Licensor may, from time
---------------------------------------------
to time, request Licensee to adopt and use a Mark or Marks of Licensor, in
addition to the then existing Licensed Marks in connection with the Licensed
Activities. Such additional Mark or Marks shall be licensed hereunder on the
same terms as the then existing Licensed Marks and Licensee shall within a
reasonable time, but in any event within one hundred eighty (180) days, comply
with Licensor's request by adopting and using such additional Mark or Marks;
provided that during such 180-day period Licensee shall have the right to use
its existing inventory of Marketing Materials that do not contain the additional
Mark or Marks.
5. RETENTION OF RIGHTS. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section
-------------------
2, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to limit in any way
Licensor's rights in and to the AT&T Service Marks and the Licensed Marks,
including without limitation:
(a) all rights of ownership in and to the AT&T Service Marks and the
Licensed Marks, including the right to license or transfer the same; and
(b) the unimpaired right to use the AT&T Service Marks and the Licensed
Marks in connection with marketing, offering or providing any products or
services (including, without limitation Licensed Services) whether within or
without the Licensed Territory.

-------------------
of the Stockholders Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference with
the same effect as if set forth herein in their entirety and Licensee shall
comply with its obligations therein.
7. QUALITY CONTROL.
---------------
7.1 General. Licensee acknowledges that the services and activities covered
-------
by this Agreement must be of sufficiently high quality as to provide maximum
enhancement to and protection of the Licensed Marks and the good will they
symbolize. Licensee further acknowledges that the maintenance of high quality
services is of the essence of this Agreement, as is the use of the Licensed
Marks in connection therewith, and that it will utilize only Marketing Materials
which enhance (and do not disparage or place in disrepute) Licensor, its
businesses or its business reputation, and enhance (and do not adversely affect
or detract from) Licensor's good will and will use the Licensed Marks in ways
(but only in ways) which will so enhance Licensor's business reputation and good
will.
7.2 Quality Standards. Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts
-----------------
to cause the Company Systems to comply with the TDMA Quality Standards. Without
limiting the foregoing, with respect to each material portion of a Company
System (such as a city) that Licensee places in commercial service, on or prior
to the first anniversary of the date such material portion is placed in
commercial service, Licensee shall cause each such material portion to achieve a
level of compliance with the TDMA Quality Standards equal to at least the
average level of compliance achieved by comparable PCS and Cellular Systems
owned and operated by AT&T PCS taking into account, among other things, the
relative stage of development thereof.
Licensee shall also comply with the Guidelines for Use of the Licensed Logo
and Licensed Phrase as set forth in Schedule E to this Agreement, and which
shall be considered part of the Quality Standards.
<PAGE>
7.3 Quality Service Reviews; Right of Inspection. Licensor shall have the
-----------------------
right to designate from time to time, one or more Quality Control
Representatives, who shall have the right at any time, upon fifteen (15) days
notice to Licensee, to conduct during regular business hours an inspection,
test, survey and review of Licensee's facilities and the facilities of
Licensee's Authorized Dealers, if any, and otherwise to determine compliance
with the Quality Standards (each, an "Inspection"); provided that Licensor shall
--------
use all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such Inspections shall
not unreasonably interfere with Licensee's conduct of its business; and provided
--------
further that Licensor shall not be permitted to conduct more than two (2)
- -------
Inspections during each 12-month period of the term of this Agreement unless
Licensor reasonably believes that Licensee is not in compliance with the Quality
Standards, in which case Licensor shall be permitted to conduct Inspections from
time to time until Licensee has been determined to be in compliance. Licensee
agrees to collect, maintain and furnish to the Quality Control Representatives:
(i) all performance data relating to Licensee's Licensed Services reasonably
requested by the Quality Control Representatives and representative samples of
Marketing Materials that are marketed or provided under the Licensed Marks for
Inspections to assure conformance of the Licensed Services and the Marketing
Materials with the Quality Standards; and (ii) all performance data in its
control reasonably requested by the Quality Control Representatives relating to
the conformance of Licensed Services with the Quality Standards. Any such data
provided to Licensor shall be treated confidentially in accordance with Section
18. Licensor may independently conduct continuous customer satisfaction and
other surveys to determine if Licensee is meeting the Quality Standards.
Licensee shall cooperate with Licensor fully in the distribution and conduct of
such surveys so long as such cooperation shall not unreasonably interfere with
the conduct of Licensee's business. If Licensee learns that it is not complying
with the Quality Standards in any material respect, it shall notify Licensor,
and the provisions of Section 8 shall apply to such noncompliance.
7.4 Authorized Dealers. Licensee shall provide to Licensor within 10 days
------------------
after the expiration of each calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement
a list of all Authorized Dealers. Licensor shall have the right, exercisable in
its reasonable discretion, to give Licensee written notice requiring Licensee to
terminate any Authorized Dealer that Licensor reasonably believes is not in
compliance with the Quality Standards (after notice of such non-compliance and a
reasonable opportunity to cure has been granted to such Authorized Dealer)
effective no later than 30 days from the date such written notice is given by
Licensor to Licensee. All Authorized Dealers shall be bound by Licensor's
Quality Standards and by Licensee's obligations under this Agreement. A breach
by any such Authorized Dealer of this Agreement shall be deemed a breach of this
Agreement by Licensee; provided that Licensee's termination of such breaching
Authorized Dealer shall be deemed to cure any such breach.
7.5 Sponsorship. Licensee shall not use the Licensed Marks to sponsor,
-----------
endorse, or claim affiliation with any event, meeting, charitable endeavor or
any other undertaking (each, an "Event") without the express written permission
of Licensor; provided however that, the categories of Events described on
Schedule F attached hereto shall be deemed pre-approved by Licensor and Licensee
shall not be required to seek permission from Licensor to sponsor, endorse or
claim affiliation with such Events using the Licensed Marks. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Licensor reserves the right to deny permission to any event and to
amend Schedule F. In the event that Licensee desires to sponsor, endorse or
claim affiliation with an Event not described on Schedule F, Licensee shall
provide Licensor with at least twenty (20) business days
<PAGE>
prior written notice of such Event in reasonable detail and Licensor shall be
deemed to have granted Licensee permission to sponsor, endorse or claim
affiliation with such Event if a denial of permission is not received by
Licensee by the date or time specified in such notice. Any breach of this
provision reasonably determined to have a material adverse effect on Licensor or
the Licensed Marks shall be deemed a Significant Breach by Licensee (in no event
less than ten business days after receipt of the notice).
7.6 Universal Wireless Consortium. Licensee shall, throughout the term of
-----------------------------
this Agreement, and any renewals or extensions thereof, be a member of the
Universal Wireless Consortium.
8. REMEDIES FOR NONCOMPLIANCE WITH QUALITY STANDARDS.
-------------------------------------------------
8.1 Cure Period. If Licensor becomes aware that Licensee or its Authorized
-----------
Dealers, if any, are not complying with any Quality Standards in any material
respect and notifies Licensee in writing thereof, setting forth, in reasonable
detail, a written description of the noncompliance and any suggestions for
curing such noncompliance, then Licensee shall cure such noncompliance as soon
as is practicable but in any event within thirty (30) days thereafter or, in the
case of noncompliance with the TDMA Quality Standards, if such breach is not
capable of being cured on commercially reasonable terms within such thirty (30)
day period, within one-hundred eighty (180) days of such notice, provided that
Licensee is using commercially reasonable efforts to cure such material breach
as soon as reasonably practicable. In the event that the non-compliance with the
Quality Standards is being caused by an Authorized Dealer, Licensee's
termination of such Authorized Dealer shall be deemed to cure such non-
compliance. If such non-compliance with the Quality Standards continues beyond
the applicable cure period described above, Licensee shall then: (i) cease any
Licensed Activities under the Licensed Marks in the Licensed Territory until it
can comply with the Quality Standards; and (ii) at Licensor's election, be
deemed to be in breach of this Agreement.
8.2 Potential Injury to Persons or Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
---------------------------------------
in the event that Licensor reasonably determines that any noncompliance creates
a material threat of personal injury or injury to property of any third party,
upon written notice thereof by Licensor to Licensee, Licensee shall cure such
non-compliance as soon as practicable but in any event within thirty (30) days
after receiving such notice. If the non-compliance continues beyond such cure
period, Licensee shall either cease any Licensed Activities under the Licensed
Marks in the Licensed Territory until it can comply with the Quality Standards,
or be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement.
9. PROTECTION OF LICENSED MARKS.
----------------------------
9.1 Ownership and Rights. Licensee admits the validity of, and agrees not
--------------------
to challenge the ownership or validity of the Licensed Marks. Licensee
acknowledges that it will not obtain any ownership interest in the Licensed
Marks or any other right or entitlement to continued use of them, regardless of
how long this Agreement remains in effect and regardless of any reason or lack
of reason for the termination thereof by Licensor; provided that by making this
acknowledgment Licensee is not waiving, and does not intend to waive, any
contractual rights hereunder or its remedies upon a breach hereof by Licensor.
Licensee shall not disparage,
<PAGE>
dilute or adversely affect the validity of the Licensed Marks. Licensee agrees
that any and all good will and other rights that may be acquired by the use of
the Licensed Marks by Licensee shall inure to the sole benefit of Licensor,
except a security interest granted to the Lenders in accordance with the terms
of the Credit Agreement. Licensee will not grant or attempt to grant a security
interest in the Licensed Marks or this Agreement, or to record any such security
interest in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or elsewhere, against
any trademark application or registration belonging to Licensor. Licensee agrees
to execute all documents reasonably requested by Licensor to effect registration
of, maintenance and renewal of the Licensed Marks. For purposes of this
Agreement, Licensee shall be considered a "related company" under the U.S.
Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. (S) 1051 et seq.
9.2 Similar Marks. Licensee further agrees not to register in any country

any Mark resembling or confusingly similar to the Licensed Marks or the AT&T
Service Marks, or which dilutes the Licensed Marks or the AT&T Service Marks,
and not to use the Licensed Marks or the AT&T Service Marks or any part thereof
as part of its corporate name, nor use (except in accordance with Section 4.1)
any Mark confusingly similar, deceptive or misleading with respect to the
Licensed Marks or the AT&T Service Marks or which dilutes the Licensed Marks or
the AT&T Service Marks. Licensee further agrees not to use or register in any
country any Mark similar to the Licensed Marks or the AT&T Service Marks, or
which dilutes the Licensed Marks or the AT&T Service Marks. If any application
for registration is, or has been filed in any country by Licensee which relates
to any Mark which, in the sole opinion of Licensor, is confusingly similar,
deceptive or misleading with respect to the Licensed Marks or the AT&T Service
Marks, or which dilutes the Licensed Marks or the AT&T Service Marks, Licensee
shall, at Licensor's sole discretion, immediately abandon any such application
or registration or assign it (free and clear of any Liens, and for consideration
of $1.00) to Licensor. If Licensee uses any Mark which, in the sole opinion of
Licensor, is confusingly similar, deceptive or misleading with respect to the
Licensed Marks or the AT&T Service Marks, or which dilutes the Licensed Marks or
the AT&T Service Marks, or if Licensee uses the Licensed Marks or the AT&T
Service Marks in connection with any product, or in connection with any service
not specifically authorized hereunder, Licensee shall, immediately upon
receiving written request from Licensor, permanently cease such use.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.2, Licensee
shall have the right to use and register the Approved Licensee Marks that are
used together with the Licensed Marks in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the Approved Licensee Marks shall not be deemed by Licensor to
resemble or to be confusingly similar to the Licensed Marks.
9.3 Infringement. In the event that either party learns of any infringement
------------
or threatened infringement of the Licensed Marks, or any unfair competition,
passing-off or dilution with respect to the Licensed Marks, or any third party
alleges or claims that any of the Licensed Marks are liable to cause deception
or confusion to the public, or is liable to dilute or infringe any right of such
third party (each such event, an "Infringement"), such party shall promptly
notify the other party or its authorized representative giving particulars
thereof, and Licensee shall provide necessary information and reasonable
assistance to Licensor or its authorized representatives in the event that
Licensor decides that proceedings should be commenced or defended. For purposes
of this Agreement, Licensee shall be deemed to have "learned" of an Infringement
when either (i) the General Manager of one of Licensee's operating subsidiaries
or divisions or (ii) an executive officer of Licensee obtains actual knowledge
of the Infringement.
<PAGE>
Licensor shall have exclusive control of any litigation, opposition,
cancellation or related legal proceedings. The decision whether to bring,
defend, maintain or settle any such proceedings shall be at the exclusive option
and expense of Licensor, and all recoveries shall belong exclusively to
Licensor. Licensee will not initiate any such litigation, opposition,
cancellation or related legal proceedings in its own name but, at Licensor's
request, agrees to be joined as a party in any action taken by Licensor to
enforce its rights in the Licensed Marks or the AT&T Service Marks; provided
that Licensor shall reimburse Licensee for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred by Licensee, its Affiliates and authorized representatives
(and their respective directors, officers, stockholders, employees and agents)
in connection with their participation in such action. Nothing in this Agreement
shall require, or be deemed to require Licensor to enforce the Licensed Marks or
the AT&T Service Marks against others.
9.4 Compliance With Laws. In the performance of this Agreement, Licensee
--------------------
shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations
and administrative orders, including those laws and regulations particularly
pertaining to the proper use and designation of Marks in the Licensed Territory.
Should Licensee be or become aware of any applicable laws or regulations which
are inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, Licensee shall promptly
notify Licensor of such inconsistency. In such event, Licensor may, at its
option, either waive the performance of such inconsistent provisions, or
negotiate with Licensee to make changes in such provisions to comply with
applicable laws and regulations, it being understood that the parties intend
that any such changes shall preserve to the extent reasonably practicable the
parties' respective benefits under this Agreement.
10. NO SUBLICENSING. Licensee shall not: (i) assign, license, transfer,
---------------
dispose or relinquish any of its rights or obligations hereunder (whether by
merger, consolidation, sale, operation of law or otherwise) other than as
contemplated by Section 3.1(b); or (ii) grant or purport to grant any sublicense
in respect of the Licensed Marks; provided that Licensee's Authorized Dealers
and Subsidiaries shall have the right to use the Licensed Marks in accordance
with the Quality Standards in connection with Licensed Activities. Any such
purported assignment, license, transfer, disposition, relinquishment or
sublicense shall be void and of no effect.
11. TERM AND TERMINATION.
--------------------
11.1 Term.
----
(a) This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall be in
effect for five (5) years following such date, unless terminated earlier
pursuant to this Section 11. Neither party has a right or obligation to renew
this Agreement beyond the initial term; provided, however, that if each party
-------- -------
gives written notice (a "Renewal Notice") to the other party of an election to
renew not less than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the initial term, then,
and only then, shall this Agreement renew for an additional five (5) year term.
During the ten (10) day period commencing one hundred twenty (120) days prior to
the end of the initial term, either party may give written notice (a "Renewal
Request") to the other party requesting that such other party give a Renewal
Notice. No later than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the initial term, the
recipient of a Renewal Request shall give to the requesting party either, in its
sole discretion: (i) a Renewal Notice or (ii) a written notice (a "Non-Renewal
Notice") stating it is not electing to
<PAGE>
renew the term of this Agreement. Any recipient of a Renewal Request that fails
to send either a Renewal Notice or a Non-Renewal Notice in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have given a Renewal Notice.
In the event either party fails to give a Renewal Notice or, in response to a
Renewal Request, gives a Non- Renewal Notice, such party shall be presumed to
have good cause for non- renewal either due to an action or failure to act by
the other party or due to circumstances related to the party who did not provide
the notice. In the event that AT&T Wireless PCS Inc. shall convert any shares of
Series A Preferred Stock of Licensee into Common Stock of Licensee (as such
terms are defined in the Stockholders Agreement), the term of this Agreement
shall expire on the later of (x) two (2) years from the Series A Conversion Date
(as such term is defined in Licensee's Restated Certificate of Incorporation),
and (y) the then existing expiration date of this Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
11.1, this Agreement may be terminated by Licensor upon written notice to
Licensee at any time following the later to occur of (x) the termination by AT&T
Wireless PCS Inc. of its obligations under Section 8.6 of the Stockholders
Agreement pursuant to Section 8.8(c) of the Stockholders Agreement, and (y) the
second anniversary of the date Licensor (or an affiliate of Licensor) gives
written notice to Licensee that it has entered into a letter of intent or
binding agreement to engage in a Disqualifying Transaction (as defined in the
Stockholders Agreement); provided, however, that in no event shall Licensor have
the right to terminate this Agreement as of a date prior to the fifth
anniversary of the date hereof, provided further however that, in the event that
this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 11.1(b) and Licensee does
not exercise its right pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Stockholders Agreement to
convert all of the shares of Company Stock (as defined in the Stockholders
Agreement) owned by AT&T Wireless PCS Inc. into Series B Preferred Stock (as
defined in the Stockholders Agreement), the termination shall only apply to the
portion of the Territory that constitutes the "Overlap Territory" (as defined in
the Stockholders Agreement) and this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect with respect to the remainder of the Territory.
11.2 Breach by Licensee. Licensor may terminate this Agreement at any time
------------------
in the event of a Significant Breach by Licensee. A "Significant Breach by
Licensee" shall mean, after exhaustion of any applicable cure periods set forth
in this Agreement, any of the following:
(a) Licensee's use of any Mark (including the Licensed Marks and the
AT&T Service Marks) contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, or the use by
an Authorized Dealer of any Mark (including the Licensed Marks and the AT&T
Service Marks) contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, including a
violation by Licensee of Section 4.2, in each case which continues for more than
30 days after written notice thereof has been given to Licensee;
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1, Licensee's use of the
Licensed Marks in connection with any Marketing Materials, or the offering,
marketing or provision of any Licensed Services, or the conduct of any Licensed
Activities or any other aspect of its business conducted by it, which fail to
meet the Quality Standards in any material respect;
(c) Licensee's refusing or neglecting a request by Licensor pursuant
to Section 7.3 for access to Licensee's facilities or Marketing Materials, which
refusal or neglect continues for more than five business days after written
notice thereof is given to Licensee;
<PAGE>
(d) Licensee's licensing, assigning, transferring, disposing of or
relinquishing (or purporting to license, assign, transfer, dispose of or
relinquish) any of the rights granted in this Agreement to others, except as
permitted by Section 10;
(e) Licensee's failure to maintain the Quality Standards and other
information furnished under this Agreement in confidence pursuant to Section 18,
or failing to restrict the transmission of information, products and commodities
as required by Section 18;
(f) The occurrence of a Change of Control of Licensee;
(g) Licensee's loss, for any reason whatsoever, of its rights to hold,
directly or indirectly, the FCC licenses for Company Communications Services in
the Licensed Territory or to provide the Company Communications Services under
such licenses, unless (i) such loss results, directly or indirectly, from the
actions or inactions of Licensor or its Affiliates or (ii) such loss relates to
less than 5% of the POPS in the Licensed Territory;
(h) The Bankruptcy of Licensee;
(i) Licensee's failure in any material respect to obtain Licensor's
permission as provided in, or any other material breach of the provisions of,
Section 7.5; or
(j) Any Substantial Company Breach.
11.3 Termination Obligations. In the event this Agreement terminates
-----------------------
pursuant to this Section 11:
(a) Licensee shall immediately cease use of the Licensed Marks upon
notice of termination, except that Licensee shall have the right to continue to
use the Licensed Marks (including without limitation, Licensee's then existing
inventory of Marketing Materials bearing the Licensed Marks) to the extent such
use is otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, for a
period of up to ninety (90) days following such termination; and
(b) Licensee shall have no further rights under this Agreement, except
as provided in Section 11.5.
11.4 No Waiver of Rights. In addition to any other provision of this
-------------------
Section 11, each party will retain all rights to any other remedy it may have at
law or equity for any breach by the other of this Agreement.
11.5 Survival. Sections 11.3(a), 12.1, 17 and 18 shall survive any
--------
expiration or termination of this Agreement.
12. INDEMNITY.
---------
12.1 Licensor shall defend, indemnify and hold Licensee and its authorized
representatives (including the Authorized Dealers), and their respective
directors, officers, stockholders, employees and agents, harmless against all
claims, suits, proceedings, costs, damages, losses and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) and judgments incurred,
<PAGE>
claimed or sustained by Licensee or such persons arising out of: (i) claims by
third parties that Licensee's use of the Licensed Marks in accordance with this
Agreement constitutes trademark, service mark or trade dress infringement (or
infringement of any other intellectual property or other proprietary right owned
by a third party), dilution, unfair competition, misappropriation or
false/misleading advertising; (ii) any third party claims as to the lack of
validity or enforceability of (A) the registrations of the Licensed Marks or (B)
Licensor's ownership rights in the Licensed Marks; and (iii) any lack of
validity or enforceability of this Agreement caused by Licensor. Subject to
Licensor's indemnification obligations in the previous sentence, Licensee shall
defend, indemnify and hold Licensor, its Affiliates and authorized
representatives, and their respective directors, officers, stockholders,
employees and agents, harmless against all claims, suits, proceedings, costs,
damages and judgments incurred, claimed or sustained by third parties, whether
for personal injury or otherwise, arising out of Licensee's or any Authorized
Dealer's marketing, sale, or use of services under the Licensed Marks and shall
indemnify Licensor and the foregoing persons for all damages, losses, costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of such use, sale or
marketing and also for any improper or unauthorized use of the Licensed Marks or
any use of its own Marks. Licensee shall also defend, indemnify and hold
Licensor, its Affiliates and authorized representatives, and their respective
directors, officers, stockholders, employees and agents, harmless against all
claims, suits, proceedings, costs, damages, losses and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) and judgments incurred, claimed or sustained by
Licensor or such persons arising out of (i) any third party claims as to the
lack of validity or enforceability of (x) the registrations (if any) of the
Approved Licensee Marks or (y) Licensee's ownership rights in the Approved
Licensee Marks; and (ii) any lack of validity or enforceability of this
Agreement caused by Licensee.

at all times during which Licensed Services bearing the Licensed Marks are being
sold, with a responsible insurance carrier acceptable to Licensor, at least a
Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollar ($2,500,000.00) products liability
insurance policy with respect to the Licensed Services offered under the
Licensed Marks. This insurance shall be primary to any of Licensor's coverage,
shall name Licensor as an insured party, shall be for the benefit of Licensor
and Licensee and shall provide for at least ten (10) days' prior written notice
to Licensor and Licensee of the cancellation or any substantial modification of
the policy. This insurance may be obtained for Licensor by Licensee in
conjunction with a policy which covers services and/or products other than the
services covered under this Agreement.
12.3 Licensee shall from time to time, upon reasonable request by Licensor,
promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to Licensor, evidence in form and

13. CONSENT OF LICENSOR. Except where another standard is expressly
-------------------
provided for herein, whenever reference is made to Licensor's consent or
approval in this Agreement, such consent or approval may be granted or withheld
in Licensor's sole discretion and, if granted, may be done so conditionally or
unconditionally; provided, however, that such standard shall not be interpreted
-------- -------
by Licensor as justifying arbitrary rejection, but will connote a
<PAGE>
reasonable application of judgment, taking into consideration Licensor's
licensing practices and customs in telecommunications licensing transactions.
14. NOTICES AND DEMANDS. All notices, requests, demands or other
-------------------

jurisdiction in that court, the state courts of the State of New York located in
New York County for all actions, suits or proceedings arising in connection with
this Agreement, and agree that any such action, suit or proceeding shall be
brought only in such courts (and waive any objection based on forum non
conveniens or any other objection to venue therein). Licensee and Licensor
hereby waive any right to a trial by jury.
18. CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION AND USE RESTRICTION. The Quality
--------------------------------------------------

required by law (including securities laws) or to enforce its rights under this
Agreement, it shall be held in confidence, and shall be used only for the

Licensor, as required by law (including securities law) or to enforce its rights
under this Agreement, it shall be held in confidence and shall be used only for

TDMA QUALITY STANDARDS
----------------------
General Overview
This Schedule VII sets out the Network and Reporting Standards with which
Licensee shall comply pursuant to Section 8.2 of this Agreement. These
Standards set out the network performance metrics and the process by which such
metrics will be established, measured and reported. All metrics which represent
a defined standard of quality for acceptable network operations have, or will
have, specific targets which Licensee must comply with in accordance with the
following network standards.
I. NETWORK STANDARDS
There are three categories of Network Standards: network quality (the "Network
Quality Category"); system performance (the "System Performance Category"); and
audio quality (the "Audio Quality Category") (each hereafter referred to
generally as a "Category"). For each Category of Network Standards, specific
metrics have been identified to measure performance in each such Category. The
detailed description of how to measure and interpret the metrics for each
Category is set out in the following AWS documents (each referred to generally
as a "Network Standards Document"):
. Network Quality Category: Document ES-4034, Revision 1.1, dated July 30,
------------------------
1997 entitled "Network Quality Scorecard User Guide" (as referred to as the
"Network Quality Standards Document"). This document is a collection of key
network performance and traffic indicators (metrics) that are measured and
reported on a regular basis. Included in this category, Licensee shall
perform the ANS Consistency Test, as attached to this Schedule VII.
. System Performance Category: OSS draft document, Revision 0.7, dated June
---------------------------
17, 1997 entitled "Key Metrics for System Performance Document" (as
referred to as the "System Performance Standards Document"). This document
identifies the network-wide key metrics for Ericsson and Lucent switching
systems, as well as cell sites, which will provide a high level assessment
of the system.
. Audio Quality Category: Document PP-4027E, Revision 1.1, dated May 30, 1996
----------------------
entitled "Audio Quality Measurement (AQM)" (as referred to as the "Audio
Quality Standards Document"). This document provides the basis for
assessing the quality of RF transmission by describing the standards for
performing audio quality measurements and the reporting of their results.
AWS measures the metrics for the Audio Quality Category using the "Radio
Quality Scorecard". The Radio Quality Scorecard is comprised of performance
statistics derived from driving the PCS system using the Buzzard tool or a
tool with similar measurement and reporting capability.

These Network Standards Documents are collectively attached to this Schedule VII
which, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement including, without
limitation, this Schedule VII, is hereby incorporated into and forms a part of
this Agreement. IN the event of any inconsistency between any part of a Network
Standards Document and the provisions of this Schedule VII, the provisions of
this Schedule VII shall govern.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement including, without limitation,
this Schedule VII, the parties acknowledge and confirm that the Network
Standards Documents represent the standards and metrics currently identified by
AWS as applicable to each Category. Target values for key quality related
metrics are contained herein and Licensee agrees to comply with the specific
metric target values as specified in Schedule VII.
In addition, the parties acknowledge and confirm that the Network Standards
Documents are subject to revision and Licensee shall comply with subsequent
revisions to these Network Standards Documents, as well as with Call Center
Quality Standards which will constitute an additional Category once they are
formally implemented, in accordance with Section 8.2 of this Agreement.
Set out below is a brief description of each Category of Network Standard and
the currently established metrics for each such Category.
II. TARGETS FOR NETWORK STANDARDS
Licensee shall meet the following targets for key metrics which represent
overall network and system quality. These targets are subject to revision and
shall be implemented in accordance with Section 8.2 of this Agreement.
. % Established Calls: The percentage of call attempts to and from a mobile
-------------------
phone that result in a successful voice channel assignment. The target goal
for this metric is 93%.
. % Dropped Calls: The percentage of established calls, as defined below,
---------------
which terminate abnormally. The target goal for this metric is a drop call
rate of 1.7% or less.
. % Handoff Failures: The target goal for this metric is a handoff failure
------------------
rate of 1.5%.
. Failures per Erlang: The ratio of failed calls to carried traffic, where
-------------------
failed calls are measured utilizing switch counters for originating and
terminating traffic, and carried traffic is measured in erlangs. The target
goal for this metric is 1.68.
. Switch Outage Time: The amount of time (in minutes) in a month when
------------------
subscribers are impacted by a cellular switch outage. Target for this
metric is 10 minutes per switch per year, with all ten minutes occurring in
the maintenance window between 12:00 am and 5:00 am.
-2-
<PAGE>
. % Blocking Cell Routes: Percentage of time all cellular traffic channels
----------------------
(voice paths in a trunk group) are unavailable within a given measurement
interval. Target for this metric is 5%.
. % Blocking Network Routes: Percentage of time all network traffic channels
-------------------------
are unavailable within the measurement interval. Target for this metric is
5%.
. ANS Consistency Test: The percentage of successful. ANS feature deliveries,
--------------------
based on the following sequence: feature activation/deactivation (when
applicable), test call, correct response, and call termination. The target
goal for this metric is 96% for all ANS features. This target metric
includes feature delivery failures due to call processing failures (i.e.
call delivery, call origination, handoff failures, or dropped calls. These
failures are estimated to be approximately 4%.)
III. REPORTING STANDARDS
Licensee agrees to comply with the reporting requirements as specified in the
Network Standards Documents and as specified below:
. Except as specified Audio Quality Network Standards, Licensee will submit
the metric reports required pursuant to this Schedule VII (the "Results")
to AWS no less than quarterly.
. With respect to Audio Quality Network Standards, Licensee shall only submit
quarterly Results for markets with 10,000 or more subscribers; for markets
with less than 10,000 subscribers, Licensee shall only submit Results on a
semi-annual basis.
. Licensee shall submit all Results by the fifteenth day of the month
following the end of the applicable reporting period.
. Licensee will report the Results to AWS on an aggregated national basis;
the aggregated national Results will reflect the distribution of the
metrics measured across Licensee's Territory. Licensee may also be required
to provide a breakdown, by market, of any metric.

The "icon" on disk
Always reproduce the icon so that it
appears with a solid white or black field.
See Illustrations.
There are two versions of the icon on the
disk. One is for larger size reproduction
(i.e., advertisements) and one is for smaller
sizes (i.e., stationery). It is important to use
the correct one because failing to do so will result in poor legibility.
Versions AW, AB, AWC and ABC are for larger than P in height. Versions BW, BB,
BWC and BBC are for 1" and smaller.
Legal Information:
1. Permission to use the icon and expression will not be granted to any

services not provided by the representative through or approved by AT&T.
With respect to a specific AT&T service, a person or entity is a Member of
the AT&T Wireless Network for that specific service under these guidelines if
(1) the person or entity has executed a written contract with AT&T that
expressly grants that status for that service; and (2) the contract is in effect
and grants the right to use, in accordance with these guidelines and such other
limitations as are contained in the contract, AT&T's logo, signature and
trademarks as expressed in the icon and expression in connection with the
marketing, sale, or provision of that specific product or service. The written
contract may not alter these guidelines or grant more rights to use AT&T's logo,
signature and trademarks than are expressly set forth in these guidelines.
Furthermore, the authorization to use the AT&T logo, signature and trademarks
under these guidelines for a specific service does not allow use of the AT&T
logo, signature and trademarks for any other product or service.
Subscription to an AT&T tariffed service does not make the subscriber a
Member of the AT&T Wireless Services Network.

<PAGE>

effect on the eligibility of the Company to realize the benefits, if any,
that the Company derives from its status as a "very small business," as

acceptable to the Manager. In the event that the Manager does not approve
such New Provider within five (5) business days of notice of such
nomination by the Board of Directors, then for each successive thirty (30)
day period or portion thereof following such five (5) business day period
that a New Provider shall not have been approved by Vento and Sullivan,
each of Vento and Sullivan shall sell to the Company, in addition to the

expense take whatever steps are commercially reasonable to assist the New
Provider in assuming the management of the Company and the operation of the

such instruments as may be necessary to vest in the New Provider those
rights that were necessary for Manager to perform its services hereunder.
(ii) Within five (5) business days after the nomination by the Board
of Directors of a New Provider, each of Vento and Sullivan agrees to
nominate a successor Person or group of Persons (collectively, a "Successor
Control Group") that would not cause a significant detrimental effect on
the eligibility of the Company to hold a Block F PCS license and to realize
the benefits, if any, that the Company derives from its status as a "very
small business," as defined in 47 CFR Section 24.720(b)(2), to whom the
Voting Preference Common Stock and Class C Common Stock shall be
transferred by Vento and Sullivan, which Successor Control Group shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors in its sole discretion
(excluding Vento and Sullivan); it being understood that the New Provider
shall be deemed to be a Successor Control Group reasonably acceptable to
the Board of Directors. In the event that Vento and Sullivan do not
nominate a Successor Control Group reasonably acceptable to the Board of
Directors in its sole discretion (excluding Vento and Sullivan) within such
five (5) business day period, then for each successive 30 day period or
portion thereof that Vento and Sullivan shall not have nominated a
Successor Control Group reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors in
its sole discretion (excluding Vento and Sullivan), each of Vento and
Sullivan shall sell to the Company after the expiration of each 30 day
period, in addition to any other Repurchased Shares, and after giving
effect to the repurchase by the Company of Shares pursuant to Section
5(f)(i), an additional 50% of the Shares then owned by each of them at a
price per share equal to $.01 per Share. Immediately after a Successor
Control Group reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors is nominated,
the Company, Vento and Sullivan shall take, or cause to be taken, all
actions necessary or required, including, without limitation, filing of all
applications with the FCC, to obtain all requisite consents and
authorizations to permit the transfer of the Voting Preference Common Stock
and Class C Common Stock to the Successor Control Group. On the first
business day after all such consents and authorizations shall have been
obtained, Vento and Sullivan agree to resign as directors and officers of
the Company and to sell to the Successor Control Group all of the shares of
Voting Preference Common Stock and Class
-10-
<PAGE>
C Common Stock owned by them for the per share price paid by them for such
shares. If at any time, whether by reason of the inability of the Company
to obtain all requisite consents and authorizations to permit the transfer
of the Voting Preference Common Stock and Class C Common Stock to the
Successor Control Group or otherwise, the Board of Directors withdraws its
consent to the nomination of a Successor Control Group, the procedure
outlined in Sections 5(f)(i) and (ii) shall be repeated commencing with the
nomination by Vento and Sullivan of a Successor Control Group within five
(5) business days after the nomination by the Board of Directors of a
successor New Provider.
(g) Return of Information. Upon termination of this Agreement, all books

after the expiration of the Term on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective
Date the Company offers to extend this Agreement for at least one (1) year on

actively engaged in the business of providing mobile wireless telecommunications
services in the Territory.
(b) Confidentiality. Without the prior written consent of the Company,
---------------
except to the extent required by an order of a court having competent
jurisdiction or under subpoena from a governmental body or agency, none of
Manager, Vento, Sullivan or any of their respective Affiliates shall disclose
any trade secrets, customer lists, drawings, designs, information regarding
product development, marketing plans, sales plans, manufacturing plans,
financial records, packaging design or other financial, commercial, business or
technical information relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates (collectively, "Confidential Information"), to any third person,
unless such Confidential Information has been previously disclosed to the public
by the Company or is in the public domain (other than by reason of Manager's,
Vento's, Sullivan's or any of their respective Affiliates' breach of this
Section 6(b)), except that Manager, Vento, Sullivan and their respective
Affiliates may disclose Confidential Information to the extent advisable in
their sole discretion in connection with (i) the performance of Manager's duties
hereunder, or (ii) the issuance of Company securities, or (iii) obtaining
financing for the Company, or (iv) the enforcement of Manager's fights under
this Agreement, or (v) any disclosures that may be required by law, including

<PAGE>
(c) Company Property. Promptly following the termination of this
----------------
Agreement, Manager, Vento and Sullivan shall return to the Company all property
of the Company, and all copies thereof in its possession or under its control,
and all tangible embodiments of Confidential Information in its possession in
whatever media such Confidential Information is maintained.
(d) Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Term and for one year
-----------------------------
thereafter, none of Manager, Vento, Sullivan or any of their respective
Affiliates will directly or indirectly induce any employee of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate employment with such entity, and
will not directly or indirectly, either individually or as owner, agent,
employee, consultant or otherwise, employ or offer employment to any person who
is or was employed by the Company or a subsidiary thereof, unless such person
shall have ceased to be employed by such entity for a period of at least six
months.
(e) Injunctive Relief with Respect to Covenants. Manager, Vento and
-------------------------------------------
Sullivan acknowledge and agree that the covenants and obligations with respect
to noncompetition, inventions, confidentiality and Company property contained in
this Section 6 relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a
violation of any of the terms of such covenants and obligations will cause the
Company irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available at law.
Therefore, Manager, Vento and Sullivan agree that the Company shall be entitled
to an injunction, restraining order, or such other equitable relief as a court
of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain Manager,
Vento and Sullivan from committing any violation of the covenants and
obligations contained in this Section 6. These injunctive remedies are
cumulative and are in addition to any other fights and remedies the Company may
have at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that this
Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii)(A) by reason
of the indictment or conviction of Vento, Sullivan or the Manager of any felony
or any act constituting fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement due to the
wrongful acts of either Vento or Sullivan, that materially adversely effects the

-----------
does not resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of the commencement of
mediation, or if prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period the
mediator determines that continuation of the mediation process is not warranted,

arbitrators pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association. Any party may demand such arbitration in accordance

know" the information and who shall have been made aware of the confidentiality
obligations set forth in this Section, unless the party is required by law to
disclose such information.
(e) Fees and Expenses. The parties shall equally split the fees of the
-----------------
mediator and the arbitrator. Any party found by the arbitrator to have breached
this Agreement shall pay all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including

into the San Juan MTA (the "Puerto Rico Market");
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, the covenants and
agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by the execution and delivery
hereof, the parties agree as follows:
Amendment 1. The Third "WHEREAS" clause n the recitals of the Management
-----------
Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
"WHEREAS, Gerald Vento ("Vento") and Thomas Sullivan ("Sullivan") are
the owners of all of the ownership interests in Manager and are each the of
record and beneficial owner of the shares of the Common Stock and Preferred
Stock described on Schedule A attached hereto (hereafter referred to
collectively as the "Shares") which were issued in conjunction with the
closings under the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Domestic Market
Closing") and the Puerto Rico Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Puerto Rico
Market Closing"), respectively;"
Amendment 2. Section 2 of the Management Agreement is hereby amended and
-----------
restated in its entirety as follows:
"Section 2. Management Standards. Manager shall discharge its duties
--------------------
hereunder in compliance with the Stockholders Agreement, the Network
Membership License Agreement, the Resale Agreement and the Roaming
Agreement (collectively as the same have been or may be amended from time
to time the "Operating Agreements") and all applicable Law. In performing
its obligations hereunder, Manager shall act in a manner that it reasonably
believes to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
<PAGE>
Company consistent with the standards set forth herein. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed as constituting Manager an agent of the
Company beyond the extent expressly provided in, and as limited by, this
Agreement."
Amendment 3. Section 5(f)(ii) of the Management Agreement is hereby
-----------
amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
"(ii) Within five (5) business days after the nomination by the Board
of Directors of a New Provider, each of Vento and Sullivan agrees to
nominate a successor Person or group of Persons (collectively, a "Successor
Control Group") that would not cause a significant detrimental effect on
the eligibility of the Company to hold a Block F PCS license and to realize
the benefits, if any, that the Company derives from its status as a "very
small business," as defined in 47 CFR Section 24.720(b)(2), to whom the
Voting Preference Common Stock and the Class C Common Stock set forth on
Schedule A (the "Class C Common Stock") shall be transferred by Vento and
Sullivan, which Successor Control Group shall be reasonably acceptable to
the Board of Directors in its sole discretion (excluding Vento and
Sullivan); it being understood that the New Provider shall be deemed to be
a Successor Control Group reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors.
In the event that Vento and Sullivan do not nominate a Successor Control
Group reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors in its sole
discretion (excluding Vento and Sullivan) within such five (5) business day
period, then for each successive 30 day period or portion thereof that
Vento and Sullivan shall not have nominated a Successor Control Group
reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors in its sole discretion
(excluding Vento and Sullivan), each of Vento and Sullivan shall sell to
the Company after the expiration of each 30 day period, in addition to any
other Repurchased Shares, and after giving effect to the repurchase by the
Company of Shares pursuant to Section 5(f)(i), an additional 50% of the
Shares then owned by each of them at a price per share equal to $.01 per
Share. Immediately after a Successor Control Group reasonably acceptable
to the Board of Directors is nominated, the Company, Vento and Sullivan
shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary or required,
including, without limitation, filing of all applications with the FCC, to
obtain all requisite consents and authorizations to permit the transfer of
the Voting Preference Common Stock and Class C Common Stock to the
Successor Control Group. On the first business day after all such consents
and authorizations shall have been obtained, Vento and Sullivan agree to
resign as directors and officers of the Company and to sell to the
Successor Control Group all of the shares of Voting Preference Common Stock
and Class C Common Stock owned by them for the per share price paid by them
for such shares. If at any time, whether by reason of the inability of the
Company to obtain all requisite consents and authorizations to permit the
transfer of the Voting Preference Common Stock and Class C Common Stock to
the Successor Control Group or otherwise, the Board of Directors withdraws
its consent to the nomination of a Successor Control Group, the procedure
outlined in Sections 5(f)(i) and (ii) shall be repeated commencing with the
nomination by Vento and
2
<PAGE>
Sullivan of a Successor Control Group within five (5) business days after
the nomination by the Board of Directors of a successor New Provider."

of such assets, (y) the aggregate amount of all liabilities of the Company
and (z) the aggregate redemption price of all outstanding shares of all

securities that are then convertible into Common Stock at the option of the
holder thereof, provided that for the purpose of calculating the number of
--------
shares of Common Stock outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis in order to
determine whether the Internal Rate of Return pursuant to Section 7(b)
(iii) equals (A) more than 30% but less than 35%, none of the Extraordinary
Event Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding, and (B) 35% or more, one-
half of the Extraordinary Event Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding.
(vi) "Restricted Holder" means each of Vento and Sullivan.
(b) Repurchase of Shares.
--------------------
(i) Repurchase Upon Termination. Following the termination of
---------------------------
this Agreement for any reason, each Restricted Holder shall sell to the Company,

35% or more 0%
For the purpose of this paragraph, the Cash Equity Investors will be deemed to
have "realized an Internal Rate of Return" of any percentage specified, as of
any date, when (i) the aggregate amount of all distributions actually made in
respect of the Cash Equity Investors' Series C Preferred Stock and Common Stock,
plus an amount equal to interest thereon at the rate of 10% per annum,
compounded annually, from the date each such distribution is made to and
including

outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock then Beneficially Owned by the
Cash Equity Investors, plus the product of the Deemed Per Share Value multiplied
by the number of shares of all classes of Common Stock then owned by the Cash
Equity Investors, is equal to (ii) the aggregate amount of all capital
contributions made by the Cash Equity Investors, plus an amount equal to
interest thereon at such percentage per annum, compounded annually, from the
date each such capital contribution is made to and including such date of
calculation.
(iii) The Management Shares repurchased pursuant to this Section
7(b) are sometimes referred to, collectively, as the "Repurchased Shares."

EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION
-----------------------
4.1 Exhibit B to this Agreement is a list furnished by the respective
Parties of the valid NPA/NXX combinations used by their respective customers.
These combinations shall be accepted by the other Party. Each NPA/NXX
combination is and shall be within the entire line range (0000-9999), or a
specified portion thereof. The minimum line range to be exchanged by the Parties
shall be 1,000 line numbers. Each Party shall be responsible for all billings
otherwise properly made under this Agreement to any number listed by such Party
within the range or ranges specified by it in Exhibit B. Additions, deletions,
or changes to NPA/NXX combinations and line number range(s) for the Home
Carrier's customers may be made upon at least fifteen (15) days prior written
notice to the Serving Carrier. Such notice shall be in the form attached as
Exhibit B to this Agreement and shall include the requested effective date for
the addition, deletion or change.
4.2 Each Party shall provide to each other Party a list of MINs (from
among those within the NPA/NXX combination(s) identified pursuant to Section 4.1
hereof) and ESNs (of the telephones to which the other Party is not authorized
to provide Service pursuant to this Agreement), which shall be entered into the
Industry Negative File. The approved CIBERNET Negative File Guidelines, as
amended from time to time, shall be the governing criteria for the Parties.
Thereafter, from time to time, as agreed by the Parties, each Party shall notify
each other Party of all additions to, and deletions from, these lists for the
customers of that particular Party. Such notifications shall be made during
normal business hours of the Party being notified by facsimile or by telephone
with a written confirmation and shall be effective one (1) hour after receipt.
4.3 Each Party hereby agrees to indemnify each and all of the other
Parties, together with their partners and any and all of their officers,
directors, employees, agents and/or affiliates, against, and hold them harmless
from, any and all claims, suits, demands, losses and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, which may result in any way
whatsoever from the indemnified Party's denial of Roamer or local Service to any
NPA/NXX and MIN combination which has been listed by the indemnifying Party as
not being authorized to receive Service; provided that (i) the person seeking
indemnification (the "Indemnified Person") provides notice of such claim
promptly after its discovery to the Party from which indemnification is sought
(the "Indemnifying Person") and in any event the Indemnifying Person will be
released from any obligation hereunder to the extent it is prejudiced by any
delay in the delivery of such notice, (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall have
the right to assume the defense of such claim, (iii) the Indemnified Person
shall provide such reasonable assistance and cooperation in the defense of such
claim as is requested by the Indemnifying Person, and (iv) the Indemnified

<PAGE>
Person shall not settle or compromise any such claim without the prior written
consent of the Indemnifying Person.

of its customers from the lists as referred to in Section 4.2 hereof, but in all
such cases, such purging or deletion must be done in accordance with the
approved CIBERNET Negative File Guidelines. If purging or deletion of numbers is
done prior to the time periods established by such Guidelines, or through
procedures not otherwise set forth, in the approved CIBERNET Negative File
Guidelines, the Party implementing the purge or deletion will assume financial
liability for any charges incurred by those numbers. All purges or deletions
made pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be given through the Parties and shall
be in the form mutually agreed upon by the Parties and effective as of the time
established by the approved CIBERNET Negative File Guidelines (unless otherwise
modified by mutual agreement of the Parties.)
4.5 Upon the implementation of wireless number portability in any
portion of either Party's system, the Parties shall cooperate in establishing an
alternative method for exchanging ESN, MIN, and NPA/NXX information required to
permit roaming by the other Party's customers in their respective systems.
ARTICLE V
FRAUD
-----
5.1 The Parties will cooperate and, as necessary, supplement this
Agreement in order to minimize fraudulent or other unauthorized use of their
systems. If any Party reasonably decides that, in its sole judgment, despite due
diligence and cooperation pursuant to the preceding sentence, fraudulent or
other unauthorized use has reached an unacceptable level of financial loss and
is not readily remediable, such Party may suspend the use of applicable NPA/NXX
combinations, in whole or in part, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
5.2 Each Party shall take reasonable actions to control fraudulent
Roamer usage, including without limitation using either (i) a positive
validation/verification ("PV') system provided by a mutually agreed upon
validation/verification service under which the ESN, MIN and/or NPA/NXX used in
a call in the Serving Carrier's system is compared against a list of Authorized
Roamers or (ii) SS-7 connections through a network of carriers. The Parties
shall work together in good faith to designate and implement a mutually
agreeable PV system and enhancements thereto or alternative systems. The Home
Carrier shall have no responsibility or liability for calls completed by a
Serving Carrier without obtaining positive validation/verification as required
herein.
5.3 In addition to other procedures set forth in this Agreement, a Home
Carrier may notify a Serving Carrier by facsimile, with written confirmation,
that certain NPA/NXX combinations are not to receive Service. Any calls
completed using such NPA/NXX combinations made one full business day or more
after such notice has been given shall be the sole responsibility of the Serving
Carrier and the Home Carrier shall not be charged any amount for such calls.
5
<PAGE>
5.4 Each Serving Carrier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
provide each Home Carrier with real-time visibility of call detail records
delivered through a network compatible with AT&T's network. Such information
shall be delivered within one hour of the applicable call. In the event that the
Serving Carrier provides such a real-time visibility system, the Serving Carrier
shall not be liable in any event for a temporary failure of the system unless
the Serving Carrier has been notified of such failure by the Home Carrier and
the Serving Carrier does not take commercially reasonable steps to remedy the
failure. If the Serving Carrier has been so notified and has so failed to take
such commercially reasonable steps, the Serving Carrier shall be liable for all
unauthorized usage attributed to Home Carrier's subscribers during the period
from the time Serving Carrier was notified of the problem to the time that the
problem has been resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Home Carrier.
5.5 For purposes of notification under this Article V, the following
addresses and facsimile numbers shall be used:

ARTICLE VI
BILLING
-------
6.1 Each Home Carrier shall be responsible for billing to, and
collecting from, its own customers all charges that are incurred by such
customers as a result of service provided to them as Authorized Roamers by the
Serving Carrier. The Home Carrier shall also be responsible for billing its
customers for, and remitting to, the Federal Government all federal excise tax
that may be due in connection with the service being billed by it to its
customers. While the Serving Carrier will be responsible for the computation and
remittance of all state and local taxes, each Home Carrier shall be liable to
the Serving Carrier for all such state and local taxes remitted by
6
<PAGE>
the Serving Carrier, for Authorized Roamers regardless of whether these amounts
are paid to the Home Carrier by its customers.
6.2 Each Serving Carrier who provides Service to an Authorized Roamer
pursuant to this Agreement shall forward Roamer billing information, within five
business days of the call date, in accordance with the procedures and standards
set forth in the CIBER Record to the Home Carrier's Authorized Receipt Point.
CIBER Type 50 and CIBER Type 70 records shall not be accepted without mutual
signed agreement and if such mutual agreement is reached it will be attached to
this Agreement. Any future revisions of the CIBER Record or additional record
types must be mutually agreed upon before implementation. In the event the
parties use the CIBERNET Net Settlement Program, or alternative settlement
program such information must be in a format in compliance with the CIBER Record
requirements or agreed upon format.
6.3 Where the Authorized Roamer billing information required to be
provided by the Serving Carrier in accordance with Section 6.2 above is not in
accordance with the CIBER Record, the Home Carrier may return a record to the
Serving Carrier as provided in the CIBER Record. Returning the defective record
will be in accordance with CIBER Record established procedures. The Serving
Carrier may correct the defective record and return it to the Home Carrier for
billing, provided that the time period from the date of the Service call at
issue to the receipt of the corrected record does not exceed sixty (60) days.
6.4 No credit for insufficient data or defective records shall be
permitted except as provided in Section 6.3 above, unless mutually agreed upon
by both Parties.
6.5 Each Home Carrier may at its discretion perform any necessary edits
at its Clearinghouse on incollect or outcollect call records to ensure
compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
SETTLEMENT
----------
7.1 Each Party will settle its accounts with the other Parties on the
basis of billing information received as described in this Article VII. In the
event both Parties use a net financial settlement procedure, the Parties shall
not submit a paper invoice but will make payments in accordance with such net
financial settlement procedures provided that the Parties may submit call
records for payment that relate to calls made more than sixty (60) days from the
date of the call if such call was the subject of a dispute or investigation
regarding fraudulent or unauthorized use.
7.2 If an incorrect roaming rate is charged by the Serving Carrier to
the Home Carrier, the Serving Carrier shall refund all amounts in excess of the
contract rate back to the Home Carrier within forty-five (45) days of
notification by the Home Carrier. Each carrier shall have ninety (90) days from
the end of the settlement period to invoice for amounts in excess of the
contract rate. The Home Carrier will send a collection letter within sixty (60)
days of the invoice date, within ninety (90) days of the invoice date, and
within one hundred (120) days of the invoice
7
<PAGE>
date. If the invoice remains unpaid after one hundred twenty (120) days from the
original invoice date, the Home Carrier may withhold the amounts from the
CIBERNET Net Settlement Program or alternative settlement program.
7.3 In the event that either Party does not use a net financial
settlement procedure, the billing and payment for charges incurred under this
Agreement shall be as set forth below.
7.3.1 The parties shall determine amounts owed to each other for
Service provided to Roamers in one-month periods with such period beginning on
the sixteenth day of each calendar month and ending on the fifteenth day of the
following month in which Service is provided. The end of this Period shall be
referred to as "Close of Billing."
7.3.2 The Parties shall send each other an invoice for Services used
under this Agreement within fifteen (15) days after the Close of Billing.
7.3.3 Each invoice shall contain the following information.
(a) Billing period used by Serving Carrier
(b) Batch sequence number
(c) Serving and Home Carrier System Identification Number
(d) Air Service charges
(e) Total toll charges (both intrastate and interstate)
(f) All other charges and credits
(g) Total taxes
(h) Total charges
7.3.4 Payment on such invoices shall be made in the form of a check or
a wire transfer which must be received by the invoicing party within thirty (30)
days from the date of the invoice. Late payments shall be charged with a late
payment fee of one and one half percent (1.5%) of the outstanding balance for
each thirty-day period (or portion thereof) that such payments are late.
7.3.5 Each Party may offset the amount owed to the other Party under
this Agreement and a single payment of the balance to the Party entitled to
receive such balance shall be made.
7.4 If the Serving Carrier provides pre-call validation of the Home
Carrier's customers, the Home Carrier agrees to implement Negative File
Suppression at the Clearinghouse and the CIBERNET Negative File Guidelines and
procedures do not apply.

<PAGE>
ARTICLE VIII
AUTOMATIC CALL DELIVERY AND HAND-OFF
------------------------------------
8.1 Each Party shall, as Serving Carrier, provide for automatic call
delivery for customers of the other Party who are Roamers in the Serving
Carrier's system. To this end, each Party shall continuously provide the
hardware, software and transmission facilities required for such call delivery
either directly between the systems of the Parties or indirectly through a
separate network of wireless communications carriers. The hardware, software and
transmission facilities provided by each Party hereunder shall at all times be
operated and maintained to provide the most efficient level of service that is
technically feasible and commercially reasonable to minimize transmission errors
and Service interruptions.
8.2 If the Parties have implemented linking facilities pursuant to
Section 8.3, the Serving Carrier shall automatically hand-off to the Home
Carrier, and as requested shall automatically accept hand-off from the Home
Carrier in order to provide Service as specified in Article II, calls to or from
a customer of the Home Carrier in accordance with the hand-off procedures
established for such linking facilities. To this end, each Party shall
continuously provide the hardware, software and transmission facilities required
for such call hand-off either directly between the systems of such Home and
Serving Carrier or indirectly through a separate network of wireless
communications carriers. The hardware, software and transmission facilities
provided by each Party hereunder shall at all times be operated and maintained
to provide the most efficient level of service that is technically feasible and
commercially reasonable to minimize transmission errors and Service
interruption.
8.3 The Parties will work together to evaluate the economic advantage
of various switch linking options to interconnect and facilitate networking of
the Parties' respective systems as required by this Agreement. Should the
Parties agree to install and maintain linking facilities, the cost of the
linking facilities shall be allocated pursuant to the following provisions:
8.3.1 AT&T and Company will each pay one-half of the equipment
costs for the establishment of microwave facilities to link the Parties'
respective systems for the purposes of automatic call delivery and automatic
call hand-off. Each Party is solely responsible for the costs of preparing its
own facilities for the system link.
8.3.2 Equipment costs for the establishment of a landline link
(T-1) to link the Parties' respective systems together for these purposes shall
be split between the Parties as follows:
(a) AT&T and Company shall each pay one-half of the cost
for the installation, use, modification, or discontinuance of the linking
facilities. Each Party is solely responsible for all costs to prepare its own
facilities for the link between the systems.
(b) For ease of administration, AT&T will order and be the
customer of record ("COR") for such facilities. Company will reimburse AT&T
monthly for its share of the
9
<PAGE>
recurring costs of such facilities. The COR shall be responsible for invoicing
the other Party for its share of the costs, with payment due within 30 days of
receipt of the invoice.
8.3.3 The Parties agree that this Section 8.3 relates only to
those costs necessary to establish the referenced facilities. This section is
not applicable to the allocation of costs with respect to the provision of
Service for each Parties' customers.
8.4 The Parties acknowledge that they do not currently have the
technical systems in place to allocate charges for cellular service provided by
a Carrier when a customer's call is handed off from one system to another. The
Parties agree that the revenues and costs for a call belong to the Party whose
system operates the originating cell site (the "Bill and Keep System").
ARTICLE IX
TERM, TERMINATION, AND SUSPENSION OF AGREEMENT
----------------------------------------------
9.1 This Agreement shall have a term commencing on the date first
written above and continuing for a period of 20 years. Thereafter, this
Agreement shall renew automatically on a year-to-year basis unless either party

immediately upon written notice to the other Party of the existence of a breach
of this Agreement, whether or not such breach constitutes a Default, which
materially affects the Service being provided to Customers of the non-breaching
Party. While any suspension of this Agreement, whether in part or in whole, is
in effect, the Parties shall work together to resolve as expeditiously as
possible the difficulty that caused the suspension. At such time as the Party
originally giving notice of suspension concludes that the problem causing the
suspension has been resolved, that Party shall give to the other written notice
to this effect. This Agreement shall resume in full effect within five (5)
business days after the Parties have mutually agreed that the problem has been
resolved.
9.3 The Parties shall cooperate to limit the extent and effect of any
suspension of this Agreement to what is reasonably required to address the cause
of the suspension.
9.4 In the event that a Party transfers control of an Affiliate listed
in Schedule 1 or Schedule 2, as the case may be, the Party shall provide at
least four (4) months' prior written notice to the other Party and upon such
transfer such Affiliate shall be deleted from the appropriate Schedule.
The termination or suspension of this Agreement shall not affect the
rights and liabilities of the Parties under this Agreement with respect to all
Authorized Roamer charges incurred prior to the effective date of such
termination or suspension.

ARTICLE X
DEFAULT
-------
10.1 A Party will be in "Default" under this Agreement upon the

or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for all or a portion of such
Party's property, (ii) has filed against it, pursuant to a statute of the United
States or of any state, a petition for bankruptcy or insolvency or for

filing of any such petition such Party fails to obtain a discharge thereof, or
(iii) making an assignment for the benefit of creditors or petitioning for, or
voluntarily entering into, an arrangement of similar nature, and provided that
such filing, petition, or appointment is still continuing.
10.2 All claims and disputes relating in any way to the performance,
interpretation, validity, or breach of this Agreement, including but not limited
to a claim based on or arising from an alleged tort, shall be resolved as
provided in this Section 10.2. It is the intent of the Parties that any
disagreements be resolved amicably to the greatest extent possible.
10.2.1 If a disagreement cannot be resolved by the representatives of
the Parties with day-to-day responsibility for this Agreement, such matter shall
be referred to an executive officer of each of the Parties. The executive
officers shall conduct face-to-face negotiations at a neutral location or such
other location as shall be mutually agreed upon. If these representatives are
unable to resolve the dispute within ten business days after either Party
requests the involvement of the executive officers, then either Party may, but
is not required to, refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, as applicable
in accordance with Sections 10.2.2 and 10.2.3.
10.2.2 In any case where the amount claimed or at issue is Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or more and the Parties are unsuccessful in
resolving the disagreement, the Parties agree to submit the disagreement to
non-binding mediation upon written notification by either Party. The Parties
shall mutually select an independent mediator experienced in telecommunications
system disputes. The specific format for the mediation shall be left to the
discretion of the mediator. If mediation does not result in resolution of the
disagreement within
11
<PAGE>
thirty days of the initial request for mediation, then either Party may, but is
not required to, refer the matter to arbitration.
10.2.3 Any disagreement not finally resolved in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2 shall, upon written notice by either
Party to the other, be resolved by final and binding arbitration. Subject to
this Section 10.2.3, such arbitration shall be conducted through, and in
accordance with the rules of, JAMS/Endispute. A single neutral arbitrator shall
decide all disputes. Each Party shall bear its own expense with respect to the
arbitration, except that the costs of arbitration proceeding itself, including
the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, shall be shared equally by the Parties.
The arbitration shall take place in a neutral location selected by the
arbitrator. The arbitrator may permit discovery to the full extent permitted by
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or to such lesser extent as the arbitrator
determines is reasonable. The arbitrator shall be bound by and strictly enforce
the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall make a good faith effort to
apply applicable law, but an arbitration decision and award shall not be subject
to review because of errors of law. The arbitrator shall have the sole authority
to resolve issues of the arbitrability of any disagreement, including the
applicability or running of any applicable statute of limitation. The arbitrator
shall not have power to award damages in connection with any dispute in excess
of actual compensatory damages nor to award punitive damages nor any damages
that are excluded under this Agreement and each party irrevocably waives any
claim thereto. The award of any arbitration shall be final, conclusive and
binding on the Parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction over the Party against which the award was made. Nothing contained
in this Section 10.2.3 shall be deemed to prevent either party from seeking any
interim equitable relief, such as a preliminary injunction or temporary
restraining order, pending the results of the arbitration. The United States
Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law shall govern the interpretation,
enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to the arbitration clause in this
Agreement.

11.1 Neither Party may, directly or indirectly, sell, assign,
transfer, or convey its interest in this Agreement or any of its rights or
obligations hereunder, including any assignment or transfer occurring by
operation of law, without the written consent of both Parties, except that
(i) either Party may assign or delegate this Agreement or any of its rights or
obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of such Party without the consent of the
other Party, but such assignment or delegation will not relieve the Party of any
of its obligations hereunder and (ii) a Party may assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to an assignee of its Service license or permit issued by
the FCC, provided that such assignee expressly assumes, by written instrument
approved by the other Party, all of the obligations of such Party hereunder and
thereby becomes a Party hereunder. In no event will an assignment permitted

the Puerto Rico - U.S. Virgin Islands in October, November and December of 1999
divided by six (6), times the fraction set forth in clause (y) hereof. The
Company shall determine (I) the aggregate number of roaming minutes received by
the Company from AWS for each such full month in 1999 and 2000, respectively
("Aggregate Roaming Minutes"), and (II) the sum of the monthly Adjusted Minimum
Number of Minutes for each such full month in 1999 and 2000, (the "Aggregate
Minimum Minutes"). In the event that the Aggregate Minimum Minutes in 1999 or
2000, as applicable, exceeds the Aggregate Roaming Minutes in 1999 or 2000, as
applicable, AWS shall pay to the Company an amount equal to such excess number
of minutes times the applicable Airtime Rate for such year determined as set
forth above. The Company shall promptly after the end of each of the 1999 and
2000 years deliver to the AWS its

<PAGE>
determination of any amounts due and owing by AWS pursuant to this provision
including reasonable supporting documentation for such calculation, such
documentation to include the Company's basis for determining the Adjusted
Minimum Number of Minutes for each applicable month. AWS shall make any required
payment pursuant to this provision within 30 days of the Company's delivery of
such determination, or if AWS objects to such determination, promptly after the
parties agree on any such amount due and payable by AWS.
Toll Rates:
- ----------
$0.05 per InterLata minute and $0.02 per IntraLata minute. Calls between the
Puerto Rico - U.S. Virgin Islands MTA and any other part of the United States
shall be deemed to be InterLata toll calls.
International toll rates shall be no more than AT&T tariff rates.
The Company and AWS agree to offer a toll free calling area within their
respective cellular areas which reasonably approximates, or is larger than, the
toll free area offered by the landline telephone company in the area.
Default rates apply to markets managed by AT&T Wireless Services on behalf of
the other carriers as shown on Schedule 1.

Agreement
1. Access to Intercarrier Roaming Services Agreements. During the
--------------------------------------------------
term of this Agreement, AWS will make available to TeleCorp the benefits of the
Intercarrier Roaming Services Agreements between AWS and Other Wireless Carriers
listed on Exhibit A-1, subject to the consent of such Other Wireless Carriers
and subject to TeleCorp being a member in good standing of the NACN. TeleCorp
will permit the subscribers of such Other Wireless Carriers to use the
facilities of TeleCorp under the terms and conditions of the applicable
Intercarrier Roaming Services Agreements. AWS may amend Exhibit A-1 by adding
Other Wireless Carriers who have agreed to extend an Intercarrier Roaming
Services Agreement to TeleCorp or by deleting Other Wireless Carriers who have
either revoked the consent to extend an Intercarrier Roaming Services Agreement
to TeleCorp or with whom the Intercarrier Roaming Services Agreement has
terminated or expired, any such amendment to be effective no earlier than 7 days
after the date such notice is given.
1.1 AWS Authority and Separate Rate Agreements. TeleCorp agrees that
------------------------------------------
AWS has full authority to negotiate terms, amendments of and addenda to the
Intercarrier Roaming Services Agreements, administer the Intercarrier Roaming
Services Agreements and settle disputes under the Intercarrier Roaming Services
Agreements on behalf of TeleCorp and that TeleCorp will be bound by and comply
with such terms, amendments, addenda, administrative decisions and settlements.
TeleCorp may, at its option, choose to negotiate a separate rate for roaming
Service with any or all of the Other Wireless Carriers. In order to have these
separate rates included within the Roamer Administration Services, TeleCorp must
provide AWS with written documentation verifying the rates at least thirty (30)
days prior to the effective date for such rates.
1.2 Separate Liability. TeleCorp is liable for all of its obligations
------------------
under each Intercarrier Roaming Services Agreement in which it participates,
including but not limited to payment obligations and fraud liability
obligations. AWS will make available a copy of applicable Intercarrier Roaming
Services Agreements within 30 days of request by TeleCorp.
1.3 Effect of Intercarrier Roaming Services Agreements. Each
--------------------------------------------------
Intercarrier Roaming Services Agreement, as may be amended with respect to
TeleCorp under section 1.1 above, supplies the terms and conditions of roaming
services with respect to each Other Wireless Carrier. AWS maintains full control
to continue or to terminate or let expire any Intercarrier Roaming Services
Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement obligates AWS to enter into or to continue
any Intercarrier Roaming Services Agreement with any Other Wireless Carrier. AWS
will notify TeleCorp no less than thirty (30) days in advance of any termination
by AWS or expiration of any Intercarrier Roaming Services Agreement.
1.4 Fraud Control. TeleCorp shall take reasonable actions to control
-------------
fraudulent Roamer usage when acting as a Serving Carrier to be consistent with
the Intercarrier Roaming Services Agreements, including without limitation using
SS-7 connections through the NACN which perform validation functions. TeleCorp
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide each Other Wireless Carrier
with real-time visibility of call
4
<PAGE>
detail records delivered through a network compatible with AT&T's network. Such
information shall be delivered within one hour of the applicable call. In the
event that TeleCorp provides such a real-time visibility system, TeleCorp shall
not be liable in any event for a temporary failure of the system unless TeleCorp
has been notified of such failure by the Other Wireless Carrier and TeleCorp
does not take commercially reasonable steps to remedy the failure. If TeleCorp
has been so notified and has so failed to take such commercially reasonable
steps, TeleCorp shall be liable for all unauthorized usage attributed to the
Other Wireless Carrier's subscribers during the period from the time TeleCorp
was notified of the problem to the time that the problem has been resolved to
the reasonable satisfaction of the Other Wireless Carrier.
1.5 Allocation of Roamer Revenues and Roamer Expenses. AWS will treat
-------------------------------------------------
TeleCorp as an affiliate of AWS for administrative purposes in collecting and
paying amounts owed to TeleCorp and owed by TeleCorp under the applicable
Intercarrier Roaming Services Agreement. TeleCorp acknowledges and agrees that
amounts owed to TeleCorp from Other Wireless Carriers will be collected by AWS,
intermingled with other funds owed to AWS and then distributed to TeleCorp based
upon the amounts owed to TeleCorp for Roamer usage by subscribers of the Other
Wireless Carriers. TeleCorp further acknowledges and agrees that AWS will make
payments for TeleCorp to Other Wireless Carriers based on the reports of Roamer
usage by subscribers of TeleCorp on the systems of the Other Wireless Carriers.
AWS will recover these amounts through the NSS functions described in Exhibit B.
2. Roaming Administration Services. During the term of this
-------------------------------
Agreement, AWS hereby agrees to make available Roaming Administration Services
to TeleCorp, subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Roaming Administration
Services are set forth in Exhibit B, which may be amended by AWS from time to
time upon written notice to TeleCorp.
2.1 Effect of EDS PCC Agreement. TeleCorp acknowledges that AWS
---------------------------
receives certain of the Roaming Administration Services under the EDS PCC
Agreement. In the event the EDS PCC Agreement terminates or expires, AWS'
obligations to provide such Roaming Administration Services will cease. AWS will
give TeleCorp notice promptly following its receipt of notice of termination
from EDS PCC and will give prior notice of any cessation of Roaming
Administration Services under this section 2.1. AWS will offer to resume such
services (on such terms as it determines at the time of such offer) in the event
that it extends or continues with EDS PCC, or enters into a new agreement with
any other provider, with respect to such services. Nothing in this Agreement
obligates AWS to extend, continue or enter into a new EDS PCC Agreement.
TeleCorp agrees to comply with reasonable requests made by AWS in order to
comply with and administer the EDS PCC Agreement.
2.2 Rates for Service. TeleCorp shall pay AWS Fees and Expenses for
-----------------
the Roamer Administration Services as set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto.
AWS may modify the Fees and Expenses set forth in Exhibit C upon thirty (30)
days prior written notice to TeleCorp. Amounts owed each month for Fees and
Expenses will be included as amounts owed to AWS in the NSS function described
in Exhibit B.
5
<PAGE>
3. Taxes. Unless TeleCorp provides a certificate of exemption or
-----
other evidence acceptable to appropriate taxing authorities, TeleCorp shall pay
any applicable federal, state or local sales, use, public utility, gross
receipts or other taxes, fees or charges imposed on AWS as a result of (a) the
roaming services received by TeleCorp under the Intercarrier Roaming Services
Agreements and (b) providing the Roaming Administration Services to TeleCorp.
Such taxes will be included in bills when imposed or required by law and shall
be paid by TeleCorp in accordance with this Agreement.
4. Payment of Net Amounts.
----------------------
4.1 Amounts Owed to AWS. TeleCorp will pay AWS in full any amounts
-------------------
owed to AWS after the NSS procedure described in Exhibit B has occurred,
including amounts owed to AWS or Other Wireless Carriers, on or before the
fifteenth day of the month immediately following the close of a Settlement
Period, provided TeleCorp has received the bill for such amounts at least five
(5) business days prior to such payment date. If TeleCorp receives the bill
later than such time, TeleCorp shall pay the bill within ten (10) days of its
receipt by TeleCorp. Payments will be submitted to: AT&T Wireless Services,
Inc., 5000 Carillon Point, Kirkland, WA 98033, ATTN: Billing and Intercarrier
Settlement Services.

Inc., 1101 17th Street, N.W., Suite 900, Washington, D.C. 20036, ATTN:
Controller.
4.3 Time. TeleCorp acknowledges and understands that, AWS will pay
----
Other Wireless Carriers for TeleCorp `subscribers' roaming usage prior to
receiving payment from TeleCorp. Accordingly, TeleCorp acknowledges and agrees
that time is of the essence and will make timely payments to AWS of all amounts
set forth in each bill after the NSS procedures described in Exhibit B have
occurred. TeleCorp is strictly liable to make timely payments hereunder, and
such liability is not relieved by any dispute that TeleCorp may have with AWS,
Other Wireless Carriers or any other third party.
4.4 Late Payment. If either party fails to make any payment to the
------------
other party when due hereunder, interest shall be paid, from the date due until
paid in full, at a rate of 1.5% per month or portion thereof. In no event shall
interest hereunder accrue at a rate that is in excess of the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law.
5. Compatibility with AWS Systems. AWS will establish and, from time
------------------------------
to time, enhance the systems that provide information used in performing
functions related to either the EDS PCC Agreement or Intercarrier Roaming
Services Agreements, including, but not limited to, enhancements to billing
systems. TeleCorp will maintain compatibility with these systems and system
enhancements, including but not limited to the CIBER
6
<PAGE>
format for billing records. TeleCorp will be responsible for the costs and
expenses it incurs in maintaining this compatibility.
6. Indemnification. TeleCorp will defend, indemnify and hold AWS,
---------------
its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, and the officers, directors, employees

use) of roaming Service by TeleCorp or any subscriber of TeleCorp, on the system
of AWS or any Other Wireless Carrier, (b) any access or use (or inability to
access or use) of roaming Service on TeleCorp wireless system by AWS or an Other
Wireless Carrier or a subscriber of AWS or an Other Wireless Carrier, (c) any
information provided by TeleCorp to AWS, including without limitation any rate
information and suspected fraud information, (d) any unlawful, negligent or
otherwise wrongful act or failure to act of TeleCorp or its representatives,
(e) a breach by TeleCorp of any provision of this Agreement, or (f) a breach by
TeleCorp of any obligation to or agreement with its subscribers.
7. Limitation of Liability.
-----------------------
7.1 AWS SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO TELECORP FOR ANY INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION
WITH AWS' PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY
DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF REVENUES, BUSINESS OR GOODWILL. FURTHER, TELECORP
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IN PERFORMING ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER AWS WILL RELY UPON
INFORMATION AND REPORTS PROVIDED TO AWS BY THIRD PARTIES. TELECORP AGREES THAT

respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any
other provision thereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such

shall not preclude or prejudice the exercising thereafter of the same or other
rights under this Agreement.
13.12 Dispute Resolution.

of the parties with day-to-day responsibility for this Agreement, such
matter shall be referred to an executive officer of each of the
parties. The executive officers shall conduct face-to-face negotiations
at a neutral location or such other location as shall be mutually
agreed upon. If these representatives are unable to resolve the dispute
within ten business days after either party requests the involvement of
the executive officers, then either party may, but is not required to,
refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, as applicable in
accordance with this Section 13.12.
13.15 In any case where the amount claimed or at issue is Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) or more and the parties are
unsuccessful in resolving the disagreement, the parties agree to submit
the disagreement to non-binding mediation upon written notification by
either party. The parties shall mutually select an independent mediator
experienced in telecommunications system disputes. The specific format
for the mediation shall be left to the discretion of the mediator. If
mediation does not result in resolution of the disagreement within
thirty days of the initial request for mediation, then either party
may, but is not required to, refer the matter to arbitration.
13.16 Any disagreement not finally resolved in accordance with
the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.12 shall, upon written
notice by either party to the other, be resolved by final and binding
arbitration. Subject to this Section, such arbitration shall be
conducted through, and in accordance with the rules of, JAMS/Endispute.
A single neutral arbitrator shall decide all disputes. Each party shall
bear its own expenses with respect to the arbitration, except that the
costs of arbitration proceeding itself, including the fees and
13
<PAGE>
expenses of the arbitrator, shall be shared equally by the parties. The
arbitration shall take place in a neutral location selected by the arbitrator.
The arbitrator may permit discovery to the full extent permitted by the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure or to such lesser extent as the arbitrator determines
is reasonable. The arbitrator shall be bound by and strictly enforce the terms
of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall make a good faith effort to apply
applicable law, but an arbitration decision and award shall not be subject to
review because of errors of law. The arbitrator shall have the sole authority to
resolve issues of the arbitrability of any disagreement, including the
applicability or running of any applicable statute of limitation. The arbitrator
shall not have power to award damages in connection with any dispute in excess
of actual compensatory damages nor to award punitive damages nor any damages
that are excluded under this Agreement and each party irrevocably waives any
claim thereto. The award of any arbitration shall be final, conclusive and
binding on the Parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction over the Party against which the award was made. Nothing contained
in this Section 13.12 shall be deemed to prevent either party from seeking any
interim equitable relief, such as a preliminary injunction or temporary
restraining order, pending the results of the arbitration. The United States
Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law shall govern the interpretation,
enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to the arbitration clause in this
Agreement.
13.17 No action or arbitration, regardless of form, may be brought by
either party more than two (2) years from the date of the event which gave rise
to such action.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the
date and year first above written.

Roaming Administration Services
1. Administration Services (AS)
The AS will include various services that AWS will perform to manage
TeleCorp's roaming program.
1.1 Reports and Bills. Each month during the term of this Agreement,
-----------------
within a reasonable period of time after receipt by AWS of information regarding
the Roamer activity during the prior Settlement Period, AWS shall provide
TeleCorp with a report summarizing Roamer activity during the prior Settlement
Period.
1.2 Exchange of Information. AWS shall provide Other Wireless
-----------------------
Carriers and the North American Cellular Network with information (including,
without limitation, NPA/NXX and number range combinations) provided to AWS by
TeleCorp pursuant to the Intercarrier Roamer Services Agreement between AWS and
TeleCorp that will enable TeleCorp's subscribers to roam in the markets owned by
Other Wireless Carriers. Further, AWS shall provide TeleCorp with information
(including, without limitation, NPA/NXX combinations and MINs) provide to AWS by
Other Wireless Carriers and the NACN pursuant to roaming agreements that will
enable the subscribers of Other Wireless Carriers to roam in the wireless
systems identified in Exhibit A-1.
1.3 Outcollect Table Maintenance. In the event that TeleCorp uses
----------------------------
CBIS as its billing vendor, AWS will maintain the Macro/Cell tables necessary to
bill subscribers of AWS and Other Wireless Carriers for use of the TeleCorp
network. Specifically, AWS agrees to maintain the Roamer Outcollect Maintenance
(070101) and roamer Surcharge Maintenance (070102) tables including bi-weekly
updates of new NPA/NXX information, maintenance required by changes to rate
agreements and corrections identified through the course of AWS' regular
operations work.
1.4 Fraud Brownout Notifications. AWS agrees to serve as the request
----------------------------
processor and single point of contact between TeleCorp, on the one hand, and AWS
and Other Wireless Carriers, on the other hand, for the exchange of suspected
fraudulent use notifications and NPA/NXX pull and reload requests related to
fraudulent use of TeleCorp NPA/NXX's on the networks of AWS and Other Wireless
Carriers and the NPA/NXX's of AWS and Other Wireless Carriers on the network of
TeleCorp. AWS will receive and forward all requests on a daily (Monday - Friday)
basis to the appropriate party for action. In addition, AWS agrees to maintain
and distribute as requested historical data regarding fraud pull and reload
request data.
1.5 Rate Monitoring. AWS will monitor incollect rates charged to
---------------
TeleCorp and outcollect rates charged by TeleCorp. If an incorrect roaming rate
is charged by TeleCorp to an Other Wireless Carrier, and the Other Wireless
Carrier invoices AWS for amounts charged in excess of the amounts that should
have been charged under the
B-1
<PAGE>
applicable Intercarrier Roaming Services Agreement, AWS shall refund all amounts
in excess of the contract rate back to the Other Wireless Carrier within
forty-five days of notification by the Other Wireless Carrier. If an incorrect
roaming rate is charged to TeleCorp by an Other Wireless Carrier so that the
amounts charged in a month are more than $200 over the amounts that should have
been charged under the applicable Intercarrier Roaming Services Agreement, AWS
will invoice the Other Wireless Carrier for all amounts in excess of the
contract rate. AWS shall not be responsible for any amounts undercharged by AWS
on behalf of TeleCorp to any Other Wireless Carrier.
2. Full Visibility (FV) Services - Optional Service
------------------------------------------------
FV services are adjunct to XLI service. FV provides a mechanism for
receiving transaction information on all call attempts made by a Roamer who
subscribes to a carrier using XLI while roaming on a market serviced by the GTE
TSI network for validation. The FV services include the following features:
2.1 When a subscriber from a carrier using XLI is roaming in an area
served by GTE for validation is found negative in GTE's negative file, GTE sends
a visibility notification message which can then be used to report the activity.
When a subscriber from a carrier using XLI is roaming in an area served by GTE
for validation, and is not found in the GTE negative file, but has a valid
status in their industry file, GTE will send a visibility notification message
which can then be used to report the activity.
2.2 Additional options for updating visibility settings by NPA/NXX
ranges or by System Identification ("SID") or Billing Identification ("BID") are
available.
2.3 Home carrier enabling/disabling option by NPA/NXX range or by
SID/BID within a 45-day period.
2.4 Availability of cloning activity reports for Roamers on systems
using GTE and XLI.
3. Intercarrier Settlement Services (ISS)
--------------------------------------
With ISS, AWS will instruct EDS PCC to edit roaming records to verify
the billable status of these records. These edits will be performed in
accordance with the then current CIBER standards. AWS will also provide certain
standard reports in connection with these edits.
3.1 Edits. The records will be edited against the CIBERNET standards,
-----
using a 60-day standard for the Call Age Edit. Any records which do not satisfy
these standards will be returned to the serving carrier.
3.1.1 Negative File Edit
3.1.2 CIBER Edit
3.1.3 NPA/NXX Edit - Proper Routing of Call
3.1.4 Call Age Edit
3.1.5 Out-of-Sequence Batch Edits
B-2

3.1.6 Duplicate Call Edit
3.1.7 Roamer Agreement Edit
3.1.8 Out of Balance Edit
3.1.9 Invalid Record Type Edit
3.1.10 Incorrect Rate Edit
3.1.11 Additional Edits Per CIBER Standard Table 3
3.2 Reports. The following reports reflect activity within a
-------
settlement cycle. Each report is produced at the end of each settlement cycle
(the 1st through the 15th of the calendar month and the 16th of a calendar month
through month end).
3.2.1 Incollect Reports which summarize the amounts owed by
TeleCorp for Roamer calls to each of AWS and each Other Wireless Carrier.
3.2.2 Outcollect Reports which summarize the amounts owed to
TeleCorp for Roamer calls from each of AWS and each Other Wireless Carrier.
3.2.3 Net Settlement Reports which summarize the net amount owed
to or owed by TeleCorp for Roamer calls with respect to each of AWS and each
Other Wireless Carrier.
4. Net Settlement Services (NSS)
-----------------------------
4.1 Clearinghouse Functions. AWS shall provide Roamer clearinghouse
-----------------------
functions for TeleCorp, such that TeleCorp's Incollect Obligations are netted
against TeleCorp's Outcollect Obligations for AWS and each Other Wireless
Carrier. To the extent that the Incollect Obligations, Fees and Expenses exceed
the net Outcollect Obligations with respect to AWS or with respect to any Other
Wireless Carrier, TeleCorp shall pay such net Incollect Obligations, Fees and
Expenses to AWS. To the extent that net Outcollect Obligations exceed net
Incollect Obligations, Fees and Expenses with respect to AWS or any Other
Wireless Carrier, AWS shall pay such net Outcollect Obligations to TeleCorp.
4.2 Fraud Settlement Functions. AWS will invoice Other Wireless
--------------------------
Carriers for Roamer fraud, under the terms of any Intercarrier Roaming Services
Agreements in place with Other Wireless Carriers. AWS will provide invoices to
TeleCorp for Roamer fraud incurred by Other Wireless Carriers and make payments
to Other Wireless Carriers for these invoices. Information to be included in any
invoice to AWS or any Other Wireless Carrier must be in the format required by
AWS, as that format may change from time to time. This information must be
submitted to AWS sufficiently close to the date of the call record at issue in
order to permit AWS to invoice Other Wireless Carriers.
5. Positive Roamer Verification (PRV) - Optional Service
-----------------------------------------------------
The PRV service will provide TeleCorp with the ability to verify the
billing status of Roamers from Other Wireless Carriers not connected to TeleCorp
through the NACN or other network or carriers which provide alternative SS7
verification services. This
B-3
<PAGE>
verification will be accomplished through comparison of the Roamer's MIN an ESN
combination with a database designed to identify potential fraudulent use. This
information can be used by TeleCorp to deny service to callers when roaming in
the TELECORP System.

Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share
of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the
Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
(i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in
<PAGE>
49
the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such
Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall
constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing.
SECTION 2.05. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing and
-------------------
Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an
initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the
Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue
such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest
Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect
different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing,
in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders
holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such
portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.
(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall
notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a
Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were
requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be
made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest
Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election
Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the
Borrower.
(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall
specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02 and paragraph
(f) of this Section:
(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and,
if different options are being elected with respect to different portions
thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing
(in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii)
and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
<PAGE>
50
(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such
Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
Eurodollar Borrowing; and
(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the
Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such
election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the
term "Interest Period".
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.
(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such
Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election
Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided
herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to
an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the
request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an
Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to
or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar
Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto.
(f) A Borrowing of any Class may not be converted to or continued as
a Eurodollar Borrowing if after giving effect thereto (i) the Interest Period
therefor would commence before and end after a date on which any principal of
the Loans of such Class is scheduled to be repaid and (ii) the sum of the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Eurodollar Borrowings of such Class
with Interest Periods ending on or prior to such scheduled repayment date plus
the aggregate principal amount of
<PAGE>
51
outstanding ABR Borrowings of such Class would be less than the aggregate
principal amount of Loans of such Class required to be repaid on such scheduled
repayment date.
SECTION 2.06. Termination and Optional Reduction of Commitments. (a)
--------------------------------------------------
Unless previously terminated, (i) the Tranche A Commitments shall terminate at
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last day of the Tranche A Availability
Period, (ii) the Tranche B Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the Effective Date and (iii) the Revolving Commitments and the L/C
Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date.
(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time
reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the
--------
Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 and not less than $2,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining aggregate
principal amount thereof) and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce
the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment
of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.09, the sum of the Revolving
Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.
(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any
election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this
Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such
termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date
thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent
shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the
Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice
--------
of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state
that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit
facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice
to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such
condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of
any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class
shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Commitments of such Class.
<PAGE>
52
SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The
-------------------------------------
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each
Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date and (ii) to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.08.
(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice
an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of
principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time
hereunder.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it
shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type
thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any
principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by
the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each
Lender's share thereof.
(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph
(b) or (c) of this Section shall, to the extent permitted by law, be prima facie
----- -----
evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein;
provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain
- --------
such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation
of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(e) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be
evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and
deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender
(or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and
in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Thereafter,
the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all
times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by
one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee
named therein
<PAGE>
53
(or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its
registered assigns).
SECTION 2.08. Automatic Revolving Commitment Reductions; Amortization
-------------------------------------------------------
of Term Loans. (a) The aggregate amount of the Lenders' Revolving Commitments
- --------------
shall automatically and permanently reduce in eight consecutive quarterly
reductions occurring on the date that is six years and nine months after the
Effective Date and on each successive date thereafter which is three months
after the preceding reduction date, in the aggregate amount set forth below for
each reduction:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Reduction Amount
--------- ------
<S> <C>
1-4 $12,500,000
5-8 $25,000,000
</TABLE>
(b) Subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section,
the Borrower shall repay Tranche A Term Loans in 18 consecutive quarterly
installments, payable on the date that is four years and three months after the
Effective Date and on each successive date thereafter which is three months
after the preceding installment date, in the aggregate amount set forth below
for each installment:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Installment Amount

<S> <C>
1-6 $ 3,750,000
7-10 $ 9,375,000
11-18 $11,250,000
</TABLE>
(c) Subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section,
the Borrower shall repay Tranche B Term Loans in 22 consecutive quarterly
installments, payable on the date that is four years and three months after the
Effective Date and on each successive date thereafter which is three months
after the preceding installment date, in the aggregate amount set forth below
for each installment:
Installment Amount
----------- ------
1-18 $ 562,500
19-22 $53,718,750
<PAGE>
54
(d) To the extent not previously paid, (i) all Tranche A Term Loans
shall be due and payable on the Tranche A Maturity Date and (ii) all Tranche B
Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Tranche B Maturity Date.
(e) If the initial aggregate amount of the Lenders' Term Commitments
of either Class exceeds the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of such
Class that are made during the Tranche A Availability Period, in the case of the
Tranche A Term Loans, or on the Effective Date, in the case of the Tranche B
Term Loans, then the scheduled repayments of Term Borrowings of such Class to be
made pursuant to this Section shall be reduced ratably by an aggregate amount
equal to such excess. Any prepayment of a Term Borrowing of either Class shall
be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Borrowings
of such Class to be made pursuant to this Section ratably.
(f) Prior to any repayment of any Term Borrowings of either Class
hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the
applicable Class to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by
telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such
repayment; provided that each repayment of Term Borrowings of either Class shall
--------
be applied to repay any outstanding ABR Term Borrowings of such Class before any
other Borrowings of such Class. Each repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied
ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. Repayments of Term
Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.
SECTION 2.09. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the
--------------------
right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in
part, subject to the requirements of this Section.
(b) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are
received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of any
Prepayment Event, promptly and in any event not later than the Business Day
after such Net Proceeds are received, the Borrower shall prepay Term Borrowings
and the Revolving Commitments and the unused Tranche A Commitments shall be
automatically and permanently reduced in an aggregate amount (to be applied
ratably among the Tranche A Term Loans, the unused Tranche A Commitments,
<PAGE>
55
the Tranche B Term Loans and the Revolving Commitments based on their then
respective amounts) equal to (i) in the case of an event described in clause (c)
of the definition of "Prepayment Event", 50% of such Net Proceeds and (ii) in
the case of an event described in any other clause of the definition of
"Prepayment Event", 100% of such Net Proceeds.
(c) Following the end of the fiscal year of the Borrower ending
December 31, 2001 and following the end of each subsequent fiscal year, the
Borrower shall prepay Term Borrowings and the Revolving Commitments and the
unused Tranche A Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced in
an aggregate amount (to be applied ratably among the Tranche A Term Loans, the
unused Tranche A Commitments, the Tranche B Term Loans and the Revolving
Commitments based on their then respective amounts) equal to 50% of Excess Cash
Flow for such fiscal year. Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be
made on or before the third Business Day after the date on which financial
statements are delivered (or, if earlier, required to be delivered) pursuant to
Section 5.01(a) with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is
being calculated.
(d) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings
hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid
and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to
paragraph (e) of this Section; provided that (i) all prepayments shall be
--------
applied ratably among the Tranche A Term Loans, the unused Tranche A
Commitments, the Tranche B Term Loans and the Revolving Commitments and (ii)
each prepayment of Borrowings of any Class shall be applied to prepay ABR
Borrowings of such Class before any other Borrowings of such Class. Any amounts
remaining after such application shall, at the option of the Borrower, be
applied to prepay Eurodollar Borrowings immediately and/or shall be deposited in
the Prepayment Account (as defined below). The Administrative Agent shall apply
any cash deposited in the Prepayment Account to prepay Eurodollar Borrowings on
the last day of their respective Interest Periods (or, at the direction of the
Borrower, on any earlier date) until all outstanding Eurodollar Borrowings have
been prepaid or until all the allocable cash on deposit with respect to such
Loans has been exhausted. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Prepayment
Account" shall mean an account established by the Borrower with the
Administrative Agent and over which
<PAGE>
56
the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including
the exclusive right of withdrawal for application in accordance with this
paragraph (d). The Administrative Agent will, at the request of the Borrower,
invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account in Permitted Investments
that mature prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Periods of the
Eurodollar Borrowings to be prepaid; provided, however, that (i) the
-------- -------
Administrative Agent shall not be required to make any investment that, in its
sole judgment, would require or cause the Administrative Agent to be in, or
would result in any, violation of any law, statute, rule or regulation and (ii)
the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to invest amounts on deposit
in the Prepayment Account if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for any
losses relating to the investments so that the amount available to prepay
Eurodollar Borrowings on the last day of the applicable Interest Period is not
less than the amount that would have been available had no investments been made
pursuant thereto. Other than any interest earned on such investments, the
Prepayment Account shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such
investments shall be deposited in the Prepayment Account and reinvested and
disbursed as specified above. If the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated
pursuant to Article VII, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion,
apply all amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account to satisfy any of the
Obligations. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for its
benefit and the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, a security interest
in the Prepayment Account to secure the Obligations. In the event of any
optional or mandatory prepayment of Term Borrowings or reduction of Tranche A
Commitments made at a time when Term Borrowings or unused Commitments of both
Classes remain outstanding, the Borrower shall select Term Borrowings to be
prepaid and Tranche A Commitments to be reduced so that the aggregate amount of
such prepayment is allocated between the Tranche A Term Borrowings, the unused
Tranche A Commitments and Tranche B Term Borrowings pro rata based on the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Borrowings or unused Commitments of
each such Class; provided that any Tranche B Lender may elect, by notice to the
--------
Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) at least one Business
Day prior to the prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any
prepayment of its Tranche B Term Loans pursuant to this Section (other than an
optional prepayment
<PAGE>
57
pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, which may not be declined), in which
case the Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow that would have been applied to prepay
Tranche B Term Loans but were so declined shall be applied to prepay Tranche A
Term Loans and to reduce the Revolving Commitments and the unused Tranche A
Commitments on a pro rata basis based on their then respective amounts.
(e) The amount of any optional or mandatory prepayments allocated to
Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B Term Loans shall be applied pro rata to reduce
the principal amount of the then remaining amortization installments applicable
to such Loans set forth in Section 2.08. The amount of any optional or
mandatory commitment reductions allocated to the Revolving Commitments or the
unused Tranche A Commitments shall be applied pro rata to reduce the principal
amount of the then remaining reductions applicable to such Commitments set forth
in Section 2.08. Any reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be
accompanied by prepayment of Revolving Loans to the extent the aggregate amount
of such loans outstanding exceeds the total amount of the Revolving Commitments
as so reduced.
(f) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of
prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the
case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such
notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal
amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a
mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such
prepayment; provided that, if a notice of optional prepayment is given in
--------
connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments
as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked
if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08.
Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall
advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any
Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an
advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as
necessary to apply fully the
<PAGE>
58
required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall
be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments
shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.
SECTION 2.10. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the
-----
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which
shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily unused amount of each
Commitment of such Lender for each day during the period from and including the
date hereof to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates.
Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March,
June, September and December of each year and on the date on which any
Commitments of such Lender shall expire or terminate, commencing on the first
such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes
of computing commitment fees with respect to Revolving Commitments, a Revolving
Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the
outstanding Revolving Exposure of such Lender.
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its
own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon
between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving Lender, through
the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and
December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Commitment of such
Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an "L/C Participation
Fee") calculated on such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the actual daily
aggregate L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to
unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) for each day during the preceding quarter (or
shorter period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Revolving
Maturity Date or the date on which all Letters of Credit have been canceled or
have expired and the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders shall have been
terminated) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar
Borrowings and (ii) to the Issuing Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit a
fronting fee of one quarter of one percent per annum along with the standard
<PAGE>
59
issuance and drawing fees specified from time to time by such Issuing Bank (the
"Issuing Bank Fees"). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees shall be
computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360
days.
(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in
immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in
the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled
thereto, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the Issuing
Bank. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
SECTION 2.11. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing
---------
shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear
interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such
Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on
any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not
paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such
overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the
rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs
of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate
applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.
(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon
termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued
--------
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in
the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of
an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period),
accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on
the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any
<PAGE>
60
conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest
Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective
date of such conversion.
(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base
Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in
each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the
first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or
Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.12. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the
---------------------------
commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances
affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist
for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or
(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that
the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or
maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such
Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (provided that the
Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to determine
whether or not the circumstances which have caused the notice, continue to
exist), (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any
Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall
be ineffective
<PAGE>
61
and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.
SECTION 2.13. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:
----------------
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of,
or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement
reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or
(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank
market any other condition (other than a condition relating to a Tax)
affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Issuing Bank
of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any
sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder
(whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to
such Lender or such Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank for such additional costs incurred
or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender's or Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of such
Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, the Letters of Credit issued by such
Issuing Bank or the Letters of Credit participated in by such Lender, to a level
below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender's or Issuing Bank's
holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender's or Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such
Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital adequacy),
then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender's
<PAGE>
62
or Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the
amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of
this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank the amount
shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to
demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of
such Lender's or Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; provided that
--------
the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank
pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more
than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions and of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise
----------------
to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof.
SECTION 2.14. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the
-----------------------
payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert,
continue or prepay any Revolving Loan or Term Loan on the date specified in any
notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be
revoked under Section 2.11(g) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d)
the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.17, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender
for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a
Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to
include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the
amount of
<PAGE>
63
interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such
event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to
such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the
then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for
such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such
principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would
bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a
comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A
certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender
is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the
Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay
such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof.
SECTION 2.15. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of
------
any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any
--------
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable
shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section)
the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives
an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been
made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall
pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, except Taxes
that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which
the Borrower has set aside on its books reserves in accordance with GAAP.
(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each
Lender, and the Issuing Bank within 30 days after written demand therefor, for
the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the
<PAGE>
64
Administrative Agent, such Lender, or the Issuing Bank, on or with respect to
any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or
under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section)
and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the
Borrower by a Lender, the Issuing Bank or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender, or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the
Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with
respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be
made without withholding or at a reduced rate, including, without limitation, if
such Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code and intends to claim exemption from the U.S. Federal withholding tax under
Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of "portfolio
interest", a Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto
(and, if such Foreign Lender delivers a Form W-8, a certificate representing
that such Foreign Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the
code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section
871(h)(3)(B) of the Code of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign
corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of
<PAGE>
65
Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), properly completed and duly executed by such
Foreign Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S.
Federal withholding tax on payments of interest by the Borrower under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender receives a refund in
respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall within 30 days from
the date of such receipt pay over to the Borrower (a) such refund (but only to
the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the
Borrower under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the
Administrative agent or such Lender and (b) interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall
repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus penalties, interest or other
charges) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the
Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority.
SECTION 2.16. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of
--------------------------------------------------
Setoffs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it
- --------
hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest,
fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise)
prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately
available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after
such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be
deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the
Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York,
except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 shall be
made directly to the Persons entitled thereto, payments of Issuing Bank Fees
shall be made directly to the Issuing Bank and payments pursuant to other Loan
Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative
Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any
other Person
<PAGE>
66
to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment
under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the
date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in
the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for
the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be
made in dollars.
(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available
to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and
fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment
of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled
thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such
parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
principal then due to such parties.
(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any Loan or Loans or L/C
Disbursement as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Tranche A
Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or Revolving Loans or participations in L/C
Disbursements shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of
the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or Revolving Loans and
participations in L/C Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed
simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall
promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the
Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or Revolving Loans or L/C Exposure,
as the case may be, of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans and
participations in Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans
and L/C Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term
Loans and Revolving Loans and L/C Exposure then outstanding as the principal
amount of its Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans
prior to such exercise of any right of setoff or counterclaim or other event was
to the principal amount of all Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and
Revolving Loans and L/C
<PAGE>
67
Exposure outstanding prior to such exercise of any right of setoff or
counterclaim or other event; provided that (i) if any such participations are
--------
purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made
by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or
participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof
(as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower
consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the
foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make
such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made
such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders, the amount due. In such event, if the
Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made
by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), 2.04(c), 2.06(d) or 9.03(c), then the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary
provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Lender to
<PAGE>
68
satisfy such Lender's obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied
obligations are fully paid.
SECTION 2.17. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a)
-----------------------------------------------
If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if
the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing
Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank
pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use reasonable
efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans
hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its
offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or Issuing
Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts
payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future and
(ii) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous in any material respect to
such Lender or Issuing Bank. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.
(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section
2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
or Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or
Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.15, or if any Lender defaults in its
obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense
and effort, upon notice to such Lender or Issuing Bank and the Administrative
Agent, require such Lender or Issuing Bank to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 9.04 and, in the case of an Issuing Bank, subject to Section 2.19(i)
hereof), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an
assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower
--------
shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and,
if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent
shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have
received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans
and L/C Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts
<PAGE>
69
payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all
other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a
claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such
compensation or payments. A Lender or Issuing Bank shall not be required to make
any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by
such Lender or Issuing Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the
Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
SECTION 2.18. Expansion Facility. On two occasions prior to the
-------------------
Tranche B Maturity Date, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent
(which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request the
addition of a new tranche of Term Loans (all such Term Loans, collectively, the
"Expansion Term Loans") provided, however, that both at the time of any such
-------------------- -------- -------
request and after giving effect to any such Expansion Term Loans (x) no Default
shall exist and the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with each
financial covenant. The Expansion Term Loans (i) shall be in an aggregate
principal amount not in excess of $75,000,000, (ii) shall rank pari passu in
---- -----
right of payment and of security with the Loans, (iii) shall mature no sooner
than, and have a longer average weighted life than, the Tranche B Term Loans,
(iv) shall have such pricing as may be agreed by the Borrower and the persons
providing such Expansion Term Loans and shall otherwise be treated hereunder no
more favorably than the Tranche B Term Loans. Such notice shall set forth the
requested amount of Expansion Term Loans (which amount, together with the amount
of all previous Expansion Term Loans, shall not exceed $75,000,000), and shall
offer each Lender the opportunity to offer a commitment to provide Expansion
Term Loans by giving written notice of such offered commitment to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower within 10 Business Days after the date of
the Borrower's notice; provided, however, that no existing Lender will be
-------- -------
obligated to subscribe for any portion of such commitments. In the event that,
on the tenth Business Day after the Borrower shall have delivered a notice
pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph, Lenders shall have provided
commitments in an aggregate amount less than the total amount of the Expansion
Term Loans requested by the Borrower, the Borrower shall have the right to
arrange for one or more banks or
<PAGE>
70
other financial institutions (any such bank or other financial institution being
called an "Additional Lender") to extend commitments to provide Expansion Term
-----------------
Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount, provided that
--------
each Additional Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative
Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and provided further
-------- -------
that the Additional Lenders shall be offered the opportunity to provide the
Expansion Term Loans only on terms previously offered to the existing lenders
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. Commitments in respect of
Expansion Term Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to
an Expansion Facility Amendment executed by each of the Borrower, each Lender
agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and
the Administrative Agent. The effectiveness of any Expansion Facility Amendment
shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof and, if different, on
the date on which the Expansion Term Loans are made, of each of the conditions
set forth in Section 4.02.
SECTION 2.19. Letters of Credit. (a) General. The Borrower may
------------------
request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in dollars, for its own
account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the
Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time while the Revolving Commitments
remain in effect. This Section shall not be construed to impose an obligation
upon the Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is inconsistent with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions.
In order to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or to amend, renew or
extend an existing Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or
telecopy to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (at least three days
in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension or
such shorter time period agreed upon by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower) a
notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter
of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire
(which shall comply with paragraph (c) below), the amount of such Letter of
Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other
information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of
<PAGE>
71
Credit. Following receipt of such notice and prior to the issuance of the
requested Letter of Credit or the applicable amendment, renewal or extension,
the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders of the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Exposure after giving effect to
(i) the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit, (ii)
the issuance or expiration of any other Letter of Credit that is to be issued or
will expire prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and
(iii) the borrowing or repayment of any Revolving Loans that (based upon notices
delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower) are to be borrowed or
repaid prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. A
Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower
shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (A) the L/C Exposure shall not exceed
$10,000,000 and (B) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the Total
Revolving Commitment.
(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to
the close of business on the earlier of the date one year after the date of the
issuance of such Letter of Credit and the date that is five Business Days prior
to the Revolving Maturity Date.
(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit and without any
further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank
hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires
from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such
Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under
such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In
consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for
the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C
Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower (or,
if applicable, another party pursuant to its obligations under any other Loan
Document) forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.02(e). Each
Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit
<PAGE>
72
is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of
Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement,
withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in
respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than two hours after
the Borrower shall have received notice from such Issuing Bank that payment of
such draft will be made, or, if the Borrower shall have received such notice
later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, not later than
10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day.
(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower's obligations to reimburse L/C
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever,
and irrespective of:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit
or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;
(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all
or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;
(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that
the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with,
the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person
may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit,
the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other
Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document
or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;
(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or
any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
<PAGE>
73
(v) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit; and
(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the
Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or
any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section,
constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower's obligations
hereunder.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly
understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligation of the
Borrower hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the
gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Issuing Bank. However, the
foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to
the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential
damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the
extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by
such Issuing Bank's gross negligence or wilful misconduct in determining whether
drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the
terms thereof; it is understood that the Issuing Bank may accept documents that
appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in
making any payment under any Letter of Credit (i) the Issuing Bank's exclusive
reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any
and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft
presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the
beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any
document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient
in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether
or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such
Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves
to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance
in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit
with the terms thereof shall, in each case,
<PAGE>
74
be deemed not to constitute wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuing
Bank.
(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following
its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for
payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall as promptly as
possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by telecopy, to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether
such Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided
that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the
Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving
Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly give each Revolving Lender notice thereof.
(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement
in respect of a Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such
L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear
interest for the account of such Issuing Bank, for each day from and including
the date of such L/C Disbursement, to but excluding the earlier of the date of
payment by the Borrower or the date on which interest shall commence to accrue
thereon as provided in Section 2.02(e), at the rate per annum that would apply
to such amount if such amount were an ABR Loan.
(i) Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may
resign at any time by giving 180 days' prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, and may be removed at any
time by the Borrower by notice to the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders. Subject to the next succeeding paragraph, upon the acceptance of
any appointment as the Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender that shall agree to
serve as successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring Issuing
Bank and the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its obligations to
issue additional Letters of Credit hereunder. At the time such removal or
resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and
unpaid fees pursuant to Section 2.05(d). The acceptance of any appointment as
the Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor
<PAGE>
75
Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a
form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and
after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall have
all the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan
Documents to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor
or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing
Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or removal of an
Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto
and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of
Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be
required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the Borrower shall, on the Business Day it receives notice from the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans
has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders holding participations in outstanding
Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount
of all outstanding Letters of Credit) thereof and of the amount to be deposited,
deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the L/C Exposure as of such date.
Such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment
and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive
dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such
account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits in
Permitted Investments, which investments shall be made at the option and sole
discretion of the Collateral Agent, such deposits shall not bear interest.
Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such
account. Moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the
Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for
which they have not been reimbursed, (ii) be held for the satisfaction of the
reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the L/C Exposure at such time and
(iii) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the
consent of Revolving Lenders holding participations in
<PAGE>
76
outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate
undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy the
Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral
hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to
the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within
three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

and testing and of the reasonably foreseeable consequences of year 2000 to the
Borrower (including, without limitation, reprogramming errors and the failure of
others' systems or equipment) will not result in a Default or a Material Adverse
Effect. Except for such of the reprogramming referred to in the preceding
sentence as may be necessary, the computer and management information systems of

the United States of America after delivery to the Administrative Agent by

ARTICLE VIII
The Administrative Agent
------------------------
Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints
the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to
take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to
the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the
same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank
and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage
in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject
to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has
occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty
to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except
discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents
that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary
under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as
expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not
have any
<PAGE>
132
duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is
communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any
of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable
for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of
the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall
be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the
absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Administrative
Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until
written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a
Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any
duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation
made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any
certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection
therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants,
agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or
any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than
to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not
incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for
relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who
may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and
exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative
<PAGE>
133
Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all
its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to
any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Administrative Agent and
any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection
with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as
activities as Administrative Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor the
Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may
resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower.
Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in
consultation with the Borrower (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing), to appoint a successor from among the other Lenders. If no
successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent
gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on
behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative
Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an
Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the
Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable
to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor. After the Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder, the
provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the
benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
<PAGE>
134
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder
or thereunder.

<PAGE>
135
provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of
receipt.
SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the
--------------------
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or
power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or
any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would
otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to
any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless
the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless
of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any
provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the
case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or in the case of an
Expansion Facility Amendment, by the parties required to enter into such
amendment by Section 2.18 hereof) or, in the case of any other Loan Document,
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the
Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties
thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no
--------
such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the
written consent of such Lender or increase the aggregate Commitments (other than
pursuant to Section 2.18) without the consent of each Lender, (ii) reduce the
principal amount of any Loan or L/C Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest
thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of
each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of
the
<PAGE>
136
principal amount of any Loan or L/C Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or
any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such
payment, or postpone the scheduled date or amount of any reduction or expiration
of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby,
(iv) change Section 2.16(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata
sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each
Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of
"Required Lenders" or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the
number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive,
amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any
consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender
of such Class, as the case may be), (vi) release any Subsidiary Loan Party from
its Guarantee under the Guarantee Agreement (except as expressly provided in the
Guarantee Agreement), or limit its liability in respect of such Guarantee,
without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release all or a substantial
part of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the
written consent of each Lender (provided, however, that the sale of up to 20% of
-------- -------
the equity interests in the general partner of the Equipment Subsidiary shall
require the consent only of the Required Lenders), (viii) change any provisions
of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights
in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently
than those holding Loans of any other Class, without the written consent of
Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused
Commitments of each affected Class or (ix) change the rights of the Tranche B
Lenders to decline mandatory prepayments as provided in Section 2.09, without
the written consent of Tranche B Lenders holding a majority of the outstanding
Tranche B Loans; provided further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify
----------------
or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the
Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or
the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and (B) any waiver, amendment or
modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties
under this Agreement of the Revolving Lenders (but not the Tranche A Lenders and
Tranche B Lenders), the Tranche A Lenders (but not the Revolving Lenders and
Tranche B Lenders) or the Tranche B Lenders (but not the Revolving Lenders and
Tranche A Lenders) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in
<PAGE>
137
writing entered into by the Borrower and requisite percentage in interest of the
affected Class of Lenders.
SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower
-----------------------------------
shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and their Affiliates, including due
diligence expenses and the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel
for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and
administration of the Loan Documents or the other documentation contemplated
hereby or thereby or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions
thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or

including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout,
restructuring or related negotiations in respect of such Loans and Letters of
Credit, and (y) any documentary taxes associated with the consummation of the
Facilities.
(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank, and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing
Persons (each such Person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each
----------
Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel
for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out
of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any
Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations
thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions
contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom and any
Letter of Credit and the use thereof, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or
release of Hazardous Materials on or from any Mortgaged Property or any other
property owned or
<PAGE>
138
operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental
Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv)
any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other
theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided
--------
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final judgment (not
overturned or vacated on appeal) to have resulted from the gross negligence or
wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required
to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such
Lender's pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
- --------
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof,
a Lender's "pro rata share" shall be determined based upon its share of the sum
of the total Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments
at the time.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not
assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of
liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed
to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result
of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly
after written demand therefor.
SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this
-----------------------
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the
Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written
<PAGE>
139
consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower
without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than
the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby
and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion
of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i)
--------
except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender,
each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of an
assignment of a Revolving Commitment, the Issuing Bank) must give their prior
written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, it being understood that the Borrower may reasonably withhold consent
to any proposed assignment to a Foreign Lender that does not qualify for a
complete exemption from withholding taxes), (ii) except in the case of an
assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment or Loans, the
amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such
assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect
to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less
than $5,000,000 and, after giving effect to such assignment, the remaining
aggregate amount of such assigning Lender's Commitment and Loans shall not be
less than $1,000,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
otherwise consent, (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment
of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations
under this Agreement, except that this clause (iii) shall not be construed to
prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's
rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans, (iv) the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500 (provided, however, that no such fee shall be payable in the case of an
-------- -------
assignment to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender;
<PAGE>
140
and provided further that, in the case of contemporaneous assignments by a
-------- -------
Lender to more than one fund managed by the same investment advisor (which funds
are not then Lenders hereunder), only a single $3,500 such fee shall be payable
for all such contemporaneous assignments) and (v) the assignee, if it shall not
be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire; and provided further that any consent of the Borrower otherwise
----------------
required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant
to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance,
have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the
assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender
shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (e) of this Section.
(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a
copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of,
and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms
hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be
--------
conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to
the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time
to time upon reasonable prior notice.
<PAGE>
141
(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed
Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender
hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of
this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph
(b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and
Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been
recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more
banks or other entities (a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's
-----------
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's
--------
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver
of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or
--------
instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the
first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to
paragraph (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall
be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 to the same extent
as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section provided that no Participant shall be entitled to
receive any greater amount pursuant to such Sections than the assigning Lender
would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the
participation transferred had no such transfer occurred. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 9.08 as though it
<PAGE>
142
were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(c)
as though it were a Lender.
(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 2.13 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been
entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender
if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless
the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section
2.15(e) as though it were a Lender.
(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any other Loan
Document to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or
assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section
shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;
provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release
- --------
a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or
assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations
---------
and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been
relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any
investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is
extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the
principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount
payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the
Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.13,
2.14, 2.15, 9.03 and 9.12 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full
force and
<PAGE>
143
effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or
the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This
-----------------------------------------
Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement,
the other Loan Document and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees
payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when
the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when
taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective
as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to
-------------
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have
----------------
occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time
owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement held
<PAGE>
144
by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any
demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The
rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of
--------------------------------------------------
Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed
- --------
by the law of the State of New York.
(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court
of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States
District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court
from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any
Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims
in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such
New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each
of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring
any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to
the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.
<PAGE>
145
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this
Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES,
---------------------
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH
PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD
NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table
---------
of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of
this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
<PAGE>

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and
----------------
the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as
defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its
Affiliates' directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants,
legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder,
(f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as
those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective
assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such
Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender
on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any
Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. For the purposes of this
Section, "Information" means all information received from or on behalf of the
-----------
Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. Any Person required
to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall
be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to
be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year
first above written.

The Lenders party to the Credit
Agreement referred to below (all of
the Addressees, collectively, the
"Creditors")
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel in the State of [ ] (the "State") to
Telecorp PCS Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), and each of the
subsidiaries of the Borrower listed on the attached Schedule A (the
"Subsidiaries"), in connection with the execution and delivery today of, and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by, the Credit Agreement dated as
of July , 1998 (the "Credit Agreement"), among the Borrower, the financial
institutions party thereto as lenders (the "Lenders") and The Chase Manhattan
Bank, as
<PAGE>
administrative agent (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent") and as
collateral agent (in such capacity, the "Collateral Agent"). This opinion is
delivered pursuant to Section 4.02(b) of the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms
used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in
the Credit Agreement.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies,
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following
documents (collectively, the "Documents"):
(a) the Credit Agreement;
(b) the Guarantee Agreement;
(c) the Security Agreement;
(d) the Pledge Agreement;
(e) the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement;
(f) the Mortgages;
(g) UCC-1 financing statements, copies of which are attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the "Financing Statements"); and
(h) the Assignment of Rights.
In addition, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such records, agreements, instruments and
other documents, and have made such other investigations, as we have deemed
necessary for the purpose of this opinion.
References in this opinion to the "UCC" shall mean the Uniform Commercial
Code as in effect on the date hereof in the State.
In rendering this opinion to you, we have assumed that:
(a) there has occurred due execution and delivery of the Documents;
and
(b) except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Security
Documents, the Borrower and each Guarantor, as applicable, owns the
Mortgaged Property (as defined in [the] [each] Mortgage) and the Collateral
(as defined in the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement).
<PAGE>
3
Subject to the foregoing assumptions, we are of the opinion that:
1. None of the Collateral Agent or the other Creditors is required (a) to
be qualified to do business, file any designation for service of process or file
any reports or pay any taxes in the State, or (b) to comply with any statutory
or regulatory requirement applicable only to financial institutions chartered or
qualified or required to be chartered or qualified to do business in the State,
in each case by reason of the execution and delivery or filing or recording, as
applicable, of any of the Documents, or by reason of the participation in any of
the transactions under or contemplated by the Documents, including, without
limitation, the extension of any credit contemplated thereby, the making and
receipt of payments pursuant thereto and the exercise of any remedy thereunder.
If it were determined that such qualification and filing were required, the
validity of the Documents would not be affected thereby, but (a) if the
Collateral Agent were not qualified it would be precluded from enforcing its
rights as collateral agent on behalf of the Creditors in the courts of the State
until such time as it is admitted to transact business in the State or (b)
assuming the Creditors would institute remedies without the Collateral Agent,
they would be precluded from enforcing their rights in the courts of the State
until such time as they were admitted to transact business in the State.
However, the lack of qualification would not result in any waiver of rights or
remedies pending such qualification.
2. The execution, delivery, filing or recording, as applicable, and
performance by the Borrower and each Guarantor of each of the Documents to which
each of them is a party (i) will not violate any existing law, governmental rule
or regulation of the State and (ii) do not require any license, permit,
authorization, consent or other approval of, any exemption by, or any
registration, recording or filing with any court, administrative agency or other
Governmental Authority of the State.
3. Assuming that the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement were
governed by the law of the State for the purpose of rendering the opinion set
forth in this paragraph, each of the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement
is in proper form under the applicable laws of the State to (i) be enforceable
against the grantors or pledgors named therein in accordance with its terms and
(ii) create and constitute a
<PAGE>
4
valid security interest in, lien on or pledge of the Collateral.
4. The Mortgage[s] [is] [are] in proper form under applicable laws of the
State (a)(i) to be accepted for recording by the Recorder of [and
] County [Counties] and (ii) to be enforceable against the Borrower and each
Guarantor, as applicable, in accordance with [its] [their] terms, and (b)(i) to
create and constitute valid, legal, binding and enforceable mortgage lien[s] on
the real property described therein (the "Real Property"), (ii) to create and
constitute valid, legal, binding and enforceable perfected security interests in
such of the Mortgaged Property (the "UCC Property") as is subject to the
provisions of Article 9 of the UCC, and (iii) to create and constitute valid,
legal, binding and enforceable perfected common law liens on or pledges of such
of the Mortgaged Property as is not UCC Property or Real Property (such
property, together with the UCC Property, the "Personal Property").
5. The Financing Statements relating to the Mortgage[s] (a) are in proper
form under the applicable laws of the State for filing, (b) adequately identify
the collateral described therein to provide sufficient notice to third parties
of the security interest referenced therein and (c) are required to be filed
with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State and with the Recorder of
[and ] County [Counties]. The Financing Statements relating to the
Security Agreement (a) are in proper form under the applicable laws of the State
for filing, (b) adequately identify the collateral described therein to provide
sufficient notice to third parties of the security interest referenced therein
and (c) are required to be filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of
the State and with the Recorder of [and ] County
[Counties]. Upon the filing of the Financing Statements, the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Creditors will have a valid and duly perfected security
interest in and lien on the Personal Property and Collateral (including after-
acquired property) described in the Mortgage[s] and the Security Agreement,
respectively.
6. The recording of the Mortgage[s] and the filing of the Financing
Statements with the recorders and in the offices described above are the only
actions, recordings or filings necessary to publish notice and protect the
validity of and to establish of record the rights of the parties under the
Mortgage[s] and Security Agreement, except (i) that
<PAGE>
5
continuation statements under the UCC are required to be filed within six months
prior to the expiration of five years from the date of filing of the Financing
Statements, and (ii) that a security interest in or pledge of money or
instruments, other than money or instruments constituting chattel paper, cannot
be perfected by filing Financing Statements or recording a Mortgage, but must be
perfected by taking physical possession thereof.
7. Subject to appropriate continuation or perfection under the UCC as set
forth the preceding paragraph, the priority of the security interest in, lien on
or pledge of the Collateral created by the Security Agreement and the Pledge
Agreement with respect to any extension of credit (each, a "Further Advance")
made or deemed to have been made by the Creditors after the date (the
"Perfection Date") on which the security interest in, lien on or pledge of the
Collateral shall have been perfected will be the same as the priority of the
security interest, lien on or pledge of the Collateral with respect to all
extensions of credit made or deemed to have been made by the Creditors on or
before the Perfection Date, and such priority will not be affected by the rights
in and to the Collateral of any third party whose interest in the Collateral
attached thereto after the Perfection Date but prior to the date of such Further
Advance.
8. The Collateral Agent has the power without naming all the Creditors in
any applicable legal proceeding to exercise remedies under the Security
Documents for the realization of any of the Mortgaged Property or the Collateral
in its own name, as collateral agent.
9. No taxes or other charges, including, without limitation, intangible or
documentary stamp taxes, mortgage or recording taxes, transfer taxes or similar
charges, are payable to the State or to any jurisdiction therein on account of
the execution or delivery or recording or filing of the Mortgage[s] or any of
the other Documents or the creation of the indebtedness evidenced or secured by
any of the Documents, as applicable, except for nominal filing or recording
fees.
[In the event that an intangible tax would be required to be paid in
connection with any of the transactions described in the preceding paragraph,
please describe with specificity in the context of this transaction, and the
collateral to be secured in your State, (a) the nature of the tax, (b) how and
when it is paid, (c) how it is calculated, (d) what forms or
<PAGE>
6
other documentation would be required, and (e) any other information that would
be necessary or useful in order for the Borrower or any Guarantor to comply with
the payment of such tax. In the event that an intangible tax would not be
required to be paid, please specify that the intangible tax is inapplicable and
the basis for such conclusion.]
10. The transfer of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property in
connection with the exercise of any remedy under the Mortgage[s], including,
without limitation, by way of judicial foreclosure, will not restrict, affect or
impair the liability of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties with respect to
the indebtedness secured thereby or the mortgagee's rights or remedies relating
thereto, including the foreclosure or enforcement of any other security interest
or liens securing such indebtedness, and the laws of the State do not require a
lienholder to elect to pursue its remedies either against mortgaged real
property or personal property where such lienholder holds security interests and
liens on both real and personal property of a debtor.
11. A State court or a federal court applying the choice of laws
principles prevailing under the laws of the State to which the question is
presented will give effect to the provisions in the Documents selecting the laws
of the State of New York as the governing law thereof (except as therein
provided) and will apply such laws, rather than the laws of the State, to the
construction and application thereof.
12. Assuming that the Documents were governed by the law of the State for
the purpose of rendering the opinion set forth in this paragraph, (a) none of
the provisions of the Documents will violate any law, statute or regulation of
the State relating to usury and (b) the use of counterpart copies of any of the
Documents does not affect the enforceability of any of the Documents.
We are admitted to practice in the State. We express no opinion as to
matters under or involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than laws of the
United States and the State and its political subdivisions.
This opinion may be relied upon by each of you, by any successors and
assigns of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, and any
participant, assignee or successor to the interests of the Lenders under the
Loan Documents.

EXHIBIT C
GUARANTEE AGREEMENT dated as of July , 1998, among each of
the subsidiaries listed on Schedule I hereto (each such
subsidiary individually, a "Guarantor" and, collectively, the
"Guarantors") of Telecorp PCS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Borrower"), and THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK, a Delaware
corporation, as collateral agent (the "Collateral Agent") for the
Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to
below).
Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of July 17, 1998 (as
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit
Agreement"), among the Borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto
(the "Lenders") and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Administrative Agent, Issuing
Bank and Collateral Agent. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein
shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
The Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrower and the Issuing Bank
has agreed to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower pursuant
to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit
Agreement. Each of the Guarantors is a direct or indirect wholly owned
Subsidiary of the Borrower and acknowledges that it will derive substantial
benefit from the making of the Loans by the Lenders. The obligations of the
Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit are
conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Guarantors
of a Guarantee Agreement in the form hereof. As consideration therefor and in
order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters
of Credit, the Guarantors are willing to execute this Agreement.
Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:
<PAGE>
2
SECTION 1. Guarantee. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly
with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as
a surety, (a) the due and punctual payment of (i) the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of
whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on the Loans, when and as due,
whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment
or otherwise, and (ii) all other monetary obligations, including fees, costs,
expenses and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed
or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred during the pendency of any
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of
whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), of the Loan Parities to the
Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) the
due and punctual performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and
liabilities of the Loan Parties under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and (c) unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the
applicable Lender party thereto, all obligations of the Borrower, monetary or
otherwise, under each Interest Rate Protection Agreement entered into with a
counterparty that was a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender at the time such
Interest Rate Protection Agreement was entered into (all the monetary and other
obligations referred to in the preceding clauses (a) through (c) being
collectively called the "Obligations"). Each Guarantor further agrees that the
Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to
or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee
notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the
obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to a maximum aggregate
amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render such Guarantor's
obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any
provisions of applicable state law (collectively, the "Fraudulent Transfer
Laws"), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such
Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent
Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such
Guarantor (a) in respect of intercompany indebtedness to the Borrower or
Affiliates of the Borrower to the extent that such indebtedness would be
discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder and
(b) under any Guarantee of senior
<PAGE>
3
unsecured indebtedness or Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the
Obligations which Guarantee contains a limitation as to maximum amount similar
to that set forth in this paragraph, pursuant to which the liability of such
Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into account in
determining such maximum amount) and after giving effect as assets to the value
(as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws)
of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar
rights of such Guarantor pursuant to (i) applicable law or (ii) any agreement
providing for an equitable allocation among such Guarantor and other Affiliates
of the Borrower of obligations arising under Guarantees by such parties
(including the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement).
SECTION 2. Obligations Not Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and
protest to the Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of
acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment.
SECTION 3. Security. Each of the Guarantors authorizes the Collateral
Agent and each of the other Secured Parties, to (a) take and hold, as provided
in the Security Agreement, security for the payment of this Guarantee and the
Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (b)
apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as provided
in the Security Agreement and (c) release or substitute any one or more
endorsees, other guarantors of other obligors.
SECTION 4. Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor further agrees that its
guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and
waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party to any of the security held for payment of the
Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of
the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any
other person.
SECTION 5. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee. The obligations of
each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation,
impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in
full in cash of the Obligations), including any
<PAGE>
4
claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the
Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall
not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to
enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof,
by any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the
Obligations, or the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release
of, any of the security held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any
other Secured Party, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any
manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would otherwise
operate as a discharge of each Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other
than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations).
SECTION 6. Defenses of Borrower Waived. To the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising
out of any defense of the Borrower or the unenforceability of the Obligations or
any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the
liability of the Borrower, other than the final and indefeasible payment in full
in cash of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties
may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by
one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such
security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the
Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other
guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the
Borrower or any other guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the
liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have
been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in cash.
SECTION 7. Agreement to Pay; Subordination. In furtherance of the
foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue
hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any
Obligation when and as the same shall become
<PAGE>
5
due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or
otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to
be paid, to the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party as designated
thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations. Upon payment by any
Guarantor of any sums to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party as provided
above, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower arising as a result
thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity
or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment
to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. In
addition, any indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter held by any
Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in
full of the Obligations during the existence of an Event of Default. If any
amount shall erroneously be paid to any Guarantor on account of (i) such
subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any
such indebtedness of the Borrower, such amount shall be held in trust for the
benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral
Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
SECTION 8. Information. Each of the Guarantors assumes all responsibility
for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower's financial condition and
assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of
the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such
Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Collateral
Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise any of the
Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such
circumstances or risks.
SECTION 9. Representations and Warranties. Each of the Guarantors
represents and warrants as to itself that all representations and warranties
relating to it contained in the Credit Agreement are true and correct.
SECTION 10. Termination. The Guarantees made hereunder (a) shall
terminate when all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the
Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement and (b)
shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored by any Secured
<PAGE>
6
Party or any Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower,
any Guarantor or otherwise.
SECTION 11. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in
this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be
deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants,
promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Guarantors that are contained in
this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and
their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become effective
as to any Guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such
Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent, and a counterpart
hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and
thereafter shall be binding upon such Guarantor and the Collateral Agent and
their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such
Guarantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and their
respective successors and assigns, except that no Guarantor shall have the right
to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any
such attempted assignment shall be void). If all of the capital stock of a
Guarantor is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a person that is not
an Affiliate of the Borrower pursuant to a transaction permitted by Section 6.06
of the Credit Agreement, such Guarantor shall be released from its obligations
under this Agreement without further action. This Agreement shall be construed
as a separate agreement with respect to each Guarantor and may be amended,
modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without
the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any
other Guarantor hereunder.
SECTION 12. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the
Collateral Agent in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or
power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or
power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder
and of the other Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative
and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.
No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any
Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same
<PAGE>
7
shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
No notice or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to
any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended
or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the
Guarantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification relates
and the Collateral Agent, with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders
(except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement).
SECTION 13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 14. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in
writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All
communications and notices hereunder to each Guarantor shall be given to it in
care of the Borrower at the address set forth in the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 15. Survival of Agreement; Severability. (a) All covenants,
agreements, representations and warranties made by the Guarantors herein and in
the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with
or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to
have been relied upon by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and
shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans regardless of any
investigation made by the Secured Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue
in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on
any Loan or any other fee or amount payable under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or the L/C Exposure does not equal zero
and as long as the Commitments and the L/C Commitment have not been terminated.
(b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
<PAGE>
8
remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself
affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties
shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.
SECTION 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in
Section 11. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by
facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 17. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation
specified in Section 1.03 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this
Agreement.
SECTION 18. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each
Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or
Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that
a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
against any Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent it may legally
<PAGE>
9
and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal
court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance
of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 14. Nothing in this
Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER
OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY
HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT,
IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 19.
SECTION 20. Additional Guarantors. Pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Credit
Agreement, each Subsidiary Loan Party of the Borrower that was not in existence
or not a Subsidiary Loan Party on the date of the Credit Agreement is required
to enter into this Agreement as a Guarantor upon becoming a Subsidiary Loan
Party. Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the Collateral
Agent and such a Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex 1, such
Subsidiary Loan Party shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and
effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery
of any instrument adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Agreement
shall not require the consent of any other Guarantor hereunder. The rights and
obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.
<PAGE>
10
SECTION 21. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, each Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time and from
time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at
any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured Party to
or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any or all the
obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents held by such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or
not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. After any
exercise of such right of setoff, the Secured Party shall give notice of such
exercise to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; provided, however, that
-------- -------
failure to give such notice shall not in any way affect the rights of any
Secured Party. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 21 are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which
such Secured Party may have.
SECTION 22. FCC Consent. Notwithstanding anything herein which may be
construed to the contrary, no action shall be taken by any of the Collateral
Agent and the Secured Parties with respect to the Licenses or any license of the
Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") unless and until any required approval
under the Federal Communications Act of 1934, and any applicable rules and
regulations thereunder, requiring the consent to or approval of such action by
the FCC or any governmental or other authority, have been satisfied.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as
of the day and year first above written.

relating thereto), the representations and warranties made in this Agreement
shall survive the Closing without regard to any investigation made by any of the
parties hereto until the second anniversary thereof and shall thereupon expire
together with any right to indemnification in respect thereof (except to the

Indemnified Party"), against all liabilities and expenses (including amounts
- -----------------
paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, as fines and penalties, and as
counsel fees) (collectively, "Losses") incurred by him or it in connection with
------
the investigation, defense, or disposition of any action, suit or other
proceeding in which any Section 8.2 Indemnified Party may be involved or with
which he or it may be threatened (whether arising out of or relating to matters
asserted by third parties against a Section 8.2 Indemnified Party or incurred or
sustained by such party in the absence of a third-party claim), that arises out
of or results from (a) any representation or warranty of such indemnifying party
contained in this Agreement being untrue in any material respect as of the date
on which it was made or (b) any material default by such indemnifying party or
any of its Affiliates in the performance of their respective obligations under
this Agreement, except to the extent (but
-19-
<PAGE>
only to the extent) any such Losses arise out of or result from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Section 8.2 Indemnified Party or its
Affiliates.

------------------------------
harmless each of the Investors and their respective Affiliates, and the

-----------------------------
against all Losses incurred by him or it in connection with the investigation,
defense, or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding in which any
Section 8.3 Indemnified Party may be involved or with which he or it may be
threatened (whether arising out of or relating to matters asserted by third
parties against a Section 8.3 Indemnified Party or incurred or sustained by such
party in the absence of a third-party claim), that arises out of or results from
(a) any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement
being untrue in any material respect as of the date on which it was made or (b)
any material default by the Company or any of its Affiliates in the performance
of their respective obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent (but
only to the extent) any such Losses arise out of or result from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Section 8.3 Indemnified Party or its
Affiliates.
8.4. Procedures.
----------
(a) The terms of this Section 8.4 shall apply to any claim (a
"Claim") for indemnification under the terms of Sections 8.2 or 8.3. The Section
8.2 Indemnified Party or Section 8.3 Indemnified Party (each, an "Indemnified
Party"), as the case may be, shall give prompt written notice of such Claim to
the indemnifying party (the "Indemnifying Party") under the applicable Section,
which party may assume the defense thereof, provided that any delay or failure
to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is materially
prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. The Indemnified Party shall have
the right to approve any counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and to
approve the terms of any proposed settlement, such approval not to be
unreasonably delayed or withheld (unless, in the case of approval of a proposed
settlement, such settlement provides only, as to the Indemnified Party, the
payment of money damages actually paid by the Indemnifying Party and a complete
release of the Indemnified Party in respect of the claim in question).
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this
Article VIII shall not be construed so as to provide for the indemnification of
any Indemnified Party for any liability to the extent (but only to the extent)
that such indemnification would be in violation of applicable law or that such
liability may not be waived, modified or limited under applicable law, but shall
be construed so as to effectuate the provisions of this Article VIII to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party undertakes the
defense of any Claim, the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party
advised as to all material developments in connection with such Claim,
including, but not limited to, promptly furnishing the Indemnified Party with
copies of all material documents filed or served in connection therewith.
(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the
defense of any Claim within ten business days after receiving written notice
thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the
-20-
<PAGE>
right, subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to assume the defense pursuant
to the provisions of this Article VIII, to undertake the defense, compromise or
settlement of such Claim for the account of the Indemnifying Party. Unless and
until the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of any Claim, the Indemnifying
Party shall advance to the Indemnified Party any of its reasonable attorneys'
fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any
such action or proceeding. Each Indemnified Party shall agree in writing prior
to any such advancement that, in the event he or it receives any such advance,
such Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for such fees,
costs and expenses to the extent that it shall be determined that he or it was
not entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII.
(d) In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be required to pay in
connection with any Claim for more than one firm of counsel (and local counsel)
for each of the following groups of Indemnified Parties: (i) the Investors,
their respective Affiliates, and the shareholders, members, managers, officers,
employees, agents and/or the legal representatives of any of them; and (ii) the
Company and its respective Affiliates, and the shareholders, members, managers,
officers, employees, agents and/or the legal representatives of any of them.
8.5. Registration Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
-------------------
Article VIII, the indemnification and contribution provisions set forth in
Sections 5(e) and 5(f) of the Stockholders' Agreement shall govern any claim
made with respect to the registration statements filed pursuant to Section 5 of
the Stockholders' Agreement or sales made thereunder.
8.6. Limit on Indemnity. So long as the Company does not conduct any
------------------
business or engage in any activities other than those described in the first
sentence of the definition of "Business" (as such term is defined in the
Stockholders' Agreement), each party waives its right to indemnification under
this Article VIII or any other right to assert any claim arising from any
inaccuracy in the Company's representations and warranties set forth in Section
5.10.
ARTICLE IX

PURCHASE AND SALE
-----------------
OF SECURITIES; CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
-----------------------------------------------
2.1. Purchase and Sale of Securities. (a) Upon the terms and subject to
-------------------------------
the conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and
agreements herein contained: (i) effective upon the Closing, Purchaser hereby
irrevocably commits to contribute to the capital of the Company an amount equal
to its Aggregate Commitment, and (ii) at the Closing, shall contribute to the
capital of the Company an amount equal to its Initial Cash Contribution and the
Company shall accept such capital contribution. Upon prior notice from the
Company, Purchaser shall contribute to the capital of the Company additional
amounts as requested by the Company, up to an aggregate amount equal to its
Aggregate Commitment over the Initial Cash Contribution, on the dates specified
by the Company in such notices (each such date, a "Funding Date" and
collectively with the Closing Date, the "Funding Dates"). The obligation of the
Purchaser to make such additional capital contributions in respect of its
Aggregate Commitment in accordance with this Section 2.1 is sometimes referred
to herein as the "Unfunded Commitment." The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees
-------------------
that its obligation to make capital contributions to the Company after the
Closing Date in respect of its Unfunded Commitment constitutes an irrevocable
and unconditional obligation, and shall not be subject to counterclaim, set-off,
deduction or defense, or to abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or
reduction for any reason whatsoever. By way of amplification, and not in
limitation of the foregoing, the Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees to
fulfill its obligations in respect of its Unfunded Commitment regardless of any
claims it may have against any other Person (whether or not related to the
Transactions) and regardless of the existence or non-existence of any facts or
circumstances (whether or not such facts and circumstances existed on the date
hereof or the Closing Date or were then known by it).
(b) In the event that the amounts paid to the Company on the Funding
Dates exceeds the amount required by the Company (i) to acquire any PCS Licenses
awarded to the Company at the PCS `C' Block Auction and (ii) to pay fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions (the "Required Funds"),
the Company shall use its best efforts to secure the return of the excess of
such funds over the Required Funds (the "Excess Funds") as soon as practicable
and shall, no later than the 2nd Business Day following the return of the Excess
Funds from the FCC (the "Redemption Date"), redeem from the Purchaser that
number of shares of Preferred Stock which is equal to the amount of the Excess
Funds divided by the sum of (x) $250 and (y) the Accrued Dividend as of the

expenses (including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, as
fines and penalties, and as counsel fees) (collectively, "Losses") incurred by
------

action, suit or other proceeding in which any Section 8.2 Indemnified Party may
be involved or with which he or it may be threatened (whether arising out of or
relating to matters asserted by third parties against a Section 8.2 Indemnified

claim), that arises out of or results from (a) any representation or warranty of
the Purchaser contained in this Agreement being untrue in any material respect
as of the date on which it was made or (b) any material default by the Purchaser
or any of its Affiliates in the performance of their respective obligations

-14-
<PAGE>
8.4. Procedures.
----------
(a) The terms of this Section 8.4 shall apply to any claim (a "Claim")
-----
for indemnification under the terms of Sections 8.2 or 8.3. The Section 8.2
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Party (each, an "Indemnified Party"), as
-----------------
the case may be, shall give prompt written notice of such Claim to the
indemnifying party (the "Indemnifying Party") under the applicable Section,
------------------
which party may assume the defense thereof, provided that any delay or failure
to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is materially
prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. The Indemnified Party shall have
the right to approve any counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and to
approve the terms of any proposed settlement, such approval not to be
unreasonably delayed or withheld (unless, in the case of approval of a proposed
settlement, such settlement provides only, as to the Indemnified Party, the
payment of money damages actually paid by the Indemnifying Party and a complete
release of the Indemnified Party in respect of the claim in question).
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this
Article VIII shall not be construed so as to provide for the indemnification of
any Indemnified Party for any liability to the extent (but only to the extent)
that such indemnification would be in violation of applicable law or that such
liability may not be waived, modified or limited under applicable law, but shall
be construed so as to effectuate the provisions of this Article VIII to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of
any Claim, the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party advised as to
all material developments in connection with such Claim, including, but not
limited to, promptly furnishing the Indemnified Party with copies of all
material documents filed or served in connection therewith.
(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the
defense of any Claim within ten business days after receiving written notice
thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, subject to the Indemnifying
Party's right to assume the defense pursuant to the provisions of this Article
VIII, to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim for the
account of the Indemnifying Party. Unless and until the Indemnified Party
assumes the defense of any Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall advance to the
Indemnified Party any of its reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any such action or
proceeding. Each Indemnified Party shall agree in writing prior to any such
advancement that, in the event he or it receives any such advance, such
Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for such fees, costs
and expenses to the extent that it shall be determined that he or it was not
entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII.
(d) In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be required to pay in
connection with any Claim for more than one firm of counsel (and local counsel)
for each of the following groups of Indemnified Parties: (i) the Purchaser, its
Affiliates, and the shareholders, members, managers, officers, employees, agents
and/or the legal representatives of any of them; and (ii) the Company, its
respective Affiliates, and the shareholders, members, managers, officers,
employees, agents and/or the legal representatives of any of them.

substantially as follows until such Securities have been sold pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, or an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Company and otherwise in full compliance with any other
applicable restrictions on transfer, including those contained in this Agreement
and the Stockholders' Agreement:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED (THE `ACT'), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES OR `BLUE SKY' LAWS.
SAID SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED,
HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER
THE ACT AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER AND ALL APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES OR `BLUE SKY' LAWS OR EXEMPTED THEREFROM UNDER THE ACT AND ALL
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR `BLUE SKY' LAWS."
2.6. Participation in Note Purchase. In the event that AT&T PCS elects to
------------------------------
eliminate the Joint Venture Notes from the consideration under the Acquisition
Agreement and receive additional Series D Notes pursuant to the terms and
conditions of Section 2.2 of the Acquisition Agreement, then at any time up to
fifteen days prior to the later of the closing of the Acquisition Agreement or
May 15, 1999, one or more of the Cash Equity Investors may elect to fund
additional cash into the Company by purchasing their pro-rata share of the
Series E Notes based on their percentage ownership of the Company immediately
prior to such closing (such pro rata rights to be calculated on the basis that
AT&T PCS and its Affiliates and the Cash Equity Investors are the sole
beneficial owners of the Company's common equity and beneficially own the
percentages of the Company's common equity set forth on Schedule IV hereto) (the
"Purchase Right"); provided, however, that no Series E Notes will be issued
unless Series D Notes are then outstanding; and provided, further, that if any
Cash Equity Investor does not elect to purchase its pro rata share of the Series
E Notes, then any or all of the other Cash Equity
-10-
<PAGE>
Investors shall have the right to purchase that percentage of the principal
amount of the Series E Notes as to which the Purchase Right shall have not been
exercised (an "Additional Purchase Right") equal to a fraction, the numerator of
which is the percentage of the Company's common equity beneficially owned by the
Cash Equity Investor (as set forth on Schedule IV hereto) so exercising such
Additional Purchase Right and the denominator of which is the percentage of the
Company's common equity beneficially owned by all Cash Equity Investors so
exercising such Additional Purchase Right and AT&T PCS and its Affiliates (in
each case as set forth on Schedule IV hereto). The foregoing procedure shall be
repeated until all Series E Notes as to which Cash Equity Investors shall have a
Purchase Right or an Additional Purchase Right shall have been so exercised by
such Cash Equity Investors. Any and all preemptive rights afforded by Section
7.2 of the Stockholders' Agreement to the Cash Equity Investors with regard to
the transactions set forth in the Acquisition Agreement are hereby waived by
them. In the event that the Cash Equity Investors elect to purchase Series E
Notes pursuant to this Section 2.6 after the closing of the Acquisition
Agreement, then the Company shall redeem a corresponding amount of Series D
Notes from AT&T PCS at par value, plus accrued interest. The Series E Notes
issued pursuant to this paragraph 2.6 shall be dated the date of the Series D
Notes, shall bear interest from such date, and shall be issued for a price equal
to the then principal amount, plus interest accrued from such date.
2.7. Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net cash proceeds of its

sale of Securities hereunder solely for consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement and to pay fees and expenses incurred

Acquisition Agreement, if any, shall be paid to AT&T PCS as consideration under
the Acquisition Agreement.

(c) It is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction
where the character of its properties owned or held under lease or the nature of

"Claim") for indemnification under the terms of Sections 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4. The
-----
Section 8.2 Indemnified Party, Section 8.3 Indemnified Party or Section 8.4
Indemnified Party (each, an "Indemnified Party"), as the case may be, shall
-----------------
give prompt written notice of such Claim to the indemnifying party (the
"Indemnifying Party") under the applicable Section, which party may assume
-------------------
the defense thereof, provided that any delay or failure to so notify the
Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations
hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is materially prejudiced by
reason of such delay or failure. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to
approve any counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and to approve the terms
of any proposed settlement, such approval not to be unreasonably delayed or
withheld (unless, in the case of approval of a proposed settlement, such
settlement provides only, as to the Indemnified Party, the payment of money
damages actually paid by the Indemnifying Party and a complete release of the
Indemnified Party in respect of the claim in question). Notwithstanding any of
the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this Article VIII shall not be
construed so as to provide for the indemnification of any Indemnified Party for
any liability to the extent (but only to the extent) that such indemnification
would be in violation of applicable law or that such liability may not be
waived, modified or limited under applicable law, but shall be construed so as
to effectuate the provisions of this Article VIII to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of
any Claim, the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party advised as to
all material developments in connection with such Claim, including, but not
limited to, promptly furnishing the Indemnified Party with copies of all
material documents filed or served in connection therewith.
(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the
defense of Claim within ten business days after receiving written notice
thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, subject to the Indemnifying
Party's right to assume the defense pursuant to the provisions of this Article
VIII, to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim for the
account of the Indemnifying Party. Unless and until the Indemnified Party
assumes the defense of any Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall advance to the
Indemnified Party any of its reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any such action or
proceeding. Each Indemnified Party shall agree in writing prior to any such
advancement that, in the event he or it receives any such advance, such
Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for such fees, costs
and expenses to the extent that it shall be determined that he or it was not
entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII.
(d) In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be required to pay in
connection with any Claim for more than one firm of counsel (and local counsel)
for each of the following groups of Indemnified Parties: (i) the Cash Equity
Investors, their respective Affiliates, and the shareholders, members, managers,
officers, employees, agents and/or the legal representatives of any of them; and
(ii) the Company and the Management Stockholders, its respective Affiliates,
-28-
<PAGE>
and the shareholders, members, managers, officers, employees, agents and/or the
legal representatives of any of them.
8.6. Registration Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
-------------------
in this Article VIII, the indemnification and contribution provisions set forth
in Sections 5(e) and 5(f) of the Stockholders' Agreement shall govern any claim
made with respect to the registration statements filed pursuant to Section 5 of
the Stockholders' Agreement or sales made thereunder.
8.7. Limit on Indemnity. So long as the Company does not conduct any
------------------
business or engage in any activities other than those described in the first
sentence of the definition of "Business" (as such term is defined in the
Stockholders' Agreement), each party waives its right to indemnification under
this Article VIII or any other right to assert any claim arising from any
inaccuracy in the Company's representations and warranties set forth in the
first and last sentence of Section 5.9 or the violation by the Company of the
covenant set forth in Section 6.5(d) to the extent such Section relates to
ineligible or prohibited activities of SBICs.

WHEREAS, Pledgor and Pledgee entered into a Pledge Agreement dated
July 17, 1998 (the "Pledge Agreement");
WHEREAS, Pledgor has entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with
Pledgee and certain other investors identified therein, dated as ___________,
1999 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which Pledgor has agreed,
among other things, to make additional cash contributions to the Company in an

terms and subject to the conditions thereof;
WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution of the Pledge Agreement,
Pledgor entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Pledgor
agreed, among other things, to make Cash Equity Investor Contributions (as

subject to the conditions thereof;
WHEREAS, Pledgor is the owner of ___________ shares of Series C

--------------
WHEREAS, the Pledgee has required, as a condition to its execution and
delivery of the Stock Purchase Agreement and its consummation of the
transactions contemplated thereby, that Pledgor enter into this Amended and
Restated Pledge Agreement in order to secure Pledgor's obligation to: (i) make
capital contributions to the Company in respect of its Puerto Rico Unfunded

-------------------------------
-15-
<PAGE>
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein
contained, Pledgor hereby agrees with Pledgee that the Pledge Agreement is
hereby amended and restated as follows:
SECTION 1. Pledge. Pledgor hereby pledges to Pledgee, and grants to
------
Pledgee a security interest in the following, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired (the "Collateral"):
(a) The Pledged Shares and the certificates representing the Pledged
Shares, and all dividends, cash, instruments, securities and other
property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise
distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged
Shares; and
(b) All proceeds of any and all of the foregoing Collateral (including,
without limitation, proceeds that constitute property of the types
described above).
SECTION 2. Security for Obligations. This Agreement secures the
------------------------
Unfunded Commitment Obligations and all Pledgor's obligations under, in respect
of or in connection with this Agreement (all such obligations being referred to
hereinafter, together with the Unfunded Commitment Obligations, as the
"Obligations"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement
secures the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Obligations and
would be owned by Pledgor to Pledgee under the Stock Purchase Agreement,
Securities Purchase Agreement or Stockholders' Agreement but for the fact that
they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding involving Pledgor.
SECTION 3. Delivery of Collateral. All certificates or instruments
----------------------
representing or evidencing the Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or
on behalf of Pledgee pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer
by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or
assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to Pledgee. Pledgee
shall have the right, at any time in its discretion and without notice to
Pledgor, to transfer to or to register in the name of Pledgee or any of its
nominees any or all of the Collateral, subject only to the rights specified in
Section 6(a); provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, until any transfer
--------
of beneficial ownership with respect to the Collateral pursuant to any exercise
of remedies under Section 11, Pledgor shall continue to be the beneficial owner
of the Collateral. In addition, Pledgee shall have the right at any time to
exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Collateral for
certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties. Pledgor represents and
------------------------------
warrants as follows:
(a) Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the presently existing
Collateral free and clear of any Lien except for the security interest
created by this Agreement and Liens created by the Stockholders'
Agreement.
-16-
<PAGE>
(b) The pledge of the Pledged Shares pursuant to this Agreement, together
with the delivery of the Pledged Shares pursuant to Section 3, creates
a valid ad perfected first priority security interest in the presently
existing Collateral, securing the payment of the Obligations.
(c) No consent of any other Person and no authorization, approval, or other
action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority
is required (i) for the pledge by Pledgor of the Collateral pursuant to
this Agreement or for the execution, delivery or performance of this
Agreement by Pledgor, (ii) for the perfection or maintenance of the
security interest created hereby (including the first priority nature
of such security interest) or (iii) for the exercise by Pledgee of the
voting or other rights provided for in this Agreement or the remedies
in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement (except (x) as
may be required in connection with any disposition of any portion of
the Pledged Shares by laws affecting the offering and sale of
securities generally, (y) that the consent, authorization or approval
of the FCC may be required if the exercise of rights or remedies by
Pledgee hereunder would result in a voluntary or involuntary assignment
of or transfer of control of a License and (z) for the filing of
financing statements pursuant to the Code (as defined below) with
respect to Collateral).
SECTION 5. Further Assurances. Pledgor agrees that at any time and
------------------
from time to time, at the expense of Pledgor, Pledgor will promptly execute and
deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that
may be necessary, or that Pledgee may reasonably request, in order to perfect
and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or
to enable Pledgee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with
respect to any Collateral, including, without limitation, all action specified
in Section 13.
SECTION 6. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.
-----------------------------
(a) Unless and until Pledgor shall fail to pay in full within 35 days of
the due date any of the Unfunded Commitment Obligations:

exchange for, any Collateral,

necessary endorsement or assignment).

the due date any of the Unfunded Commitment Obligations:

entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6(a)(i), and to
receive the dividends, interest, cash, instruments and other
property which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and
retain pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii), shall cease, and all such
rights shall thereupon become vested in Pledgee who shall
thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from
exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to
receive and hold as Collateral such dividends and interest
payments.
(ii) All dividends ad interest payments that are received by Pledgor
contrary to Section 6(b)(i) shall be received in trust for the
benefit of Pledgee, shall be segregated from other funds of
Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to Pledgee as
Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsements or assignment).
(c) Pledgor shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and
delivered) to Pledgee all such proxies and other instruments as
Pledgee may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling Pledgee to

pursuant to Section 5(b)(i) above and to receive the dividends or
interest payments that it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant
to Sections 6(a)(ii) and 6(b)(ii) .
-18-
<PAGE>
SECTION 7. Transfer Restriction. Pledgor shall not Transfer (as such
--------------------
term is defined in the Stockholders' Agreement) any Pledged Shares or other
Collateral to any Person, unless this Pledge Agreement remains in effect with
respect to all of the Collateral (if any) other than the Collateral being
Transferred and concurrently with such Transfer the transferee pledges all of
the transferred Collateral in favor of the Company pursuant to a pledge

Pledgee's discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument which
Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement (subject to the rights of Pledgor under Section 6), including, without
limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to
Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in
respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the
same.

-------------------

care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession and the
accounting for monies and other instruments and property actually received by it
hereunder, Pledgee shall have not duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining
or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities,
tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not Pledgee has
or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any
necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights

other terms as Pledgee may deem commercially reasonable. Pledgor agrees
that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least

the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute
reasonable notification. Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any

Commitment Obligations at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Company's
borrowing rate under the Credit Agreement, plus four percent (4%), provided that
in no event shall the Pledgor be obligated to pay interest in excess of the
maximum interest rate permitted under applicable law, and (b) the amount of all
reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel
and of any experts and agents, that Pledgee may incur in connection with (i) the
administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the

__% Senior Subordinated Notes due _____, Series E
1. INTEREST.
TELECORP PCS, INC. promises to pay interest on the principal amount of
this Note at the rate per annum set forth in Section 2.01(b) of the Third
Supplemental Indenture (as defined below). Cash interest on the Notes will
accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no
interest has been paid, from the Issue Date. The Company will pay interest in
cash semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing on _____
___, 2004; provided, that any interest accrued prior thereto due and owing on
--------
any Interest Payment Date and, if payment in cash shall thereafter be prohibited
by the terms of the Senior Credit Facilities, interest accrued thereafter, may
be paid by issuance of a _____% Senior Subordinated Note due _______, Series E
substantially in the form of this Note in the principal amount of such accrued
interest. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.
The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on
demand and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable
grace periods) to the extent lawful from time to time on demand, in each case at
the rate equal to 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise
payable under the Third Supplemental Indenture.
2. METHOD OF PAYMENT.
The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to
the persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the
business day immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if the Notes
are canceled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange after such
business day. Holders must surrender the Notes to a Paying Agent to collect
principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the
United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public
and private debts ("U.S. Legal Tender"). However, the Company may pay principal
and interest by wire transfer of Federal funds (provided that the Paying Agent
shall have received wire instructions on or prior to the relevant Interest
Payment Date), or interest by check payable in such U.S. Legal Tender. The
Company may deliver any such interest payment to the Paying Agent or to a Holder
at the Holder's registered address.
3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.
Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company
may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. The
Company may, subject to certain exceptions, act as Paying Agent and Registrar.
<PAGE>
4. INDENTURE.
The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of ________ ___,
1999 (the "Base Indenture"), between the Company and the Trustee as
supplemented by a Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of _______ ___, 1999
(the "Third Supplemental Indenture"), among the Company and the Trustee (the
Base Indenture and the Third Supplemental Indenture are referred to herein as
the "Indenture"). Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture
unless otherwise defined herein. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of
notes of the Company designated as its ___% Senior Subordinated Notes due
______, Series E (such Series E Notes being referred to herein as the "Notes"),
which may be issued under the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those
stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the "TIA"), as in
effect on the date of the Indenture (except as otherwise indicated in the
Indenture) until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the TIA, and
thereafter as in effect on the date on which the Indenture is qualified under
the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject
to all such terms, and holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the
TIA for a statement of them. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the
Company.
Payment on the Notes is guaranteed (each a "Guarantee") on a subordinated basis,
jointly and severally, by each Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (each, a
"Guarantor") that guarantees the Notes pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.
5. SUBORDINATION.
The Notes are subordinated in right of payment to the Senior Debt of the
Company to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture. Each Holder
of a Note, by accepting a Note, agrees to such subordination, authorizes the
Trustee to give effect to such subordination and appoints the Trustee as
attorney-in-fact for such purpose.
6. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
The Company has the right (but not the obligation) to effect optional
redemption of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Third Supplemental
Indenture and has the right (but not the obligation) to repurchase up to 35% of
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, subject to the conditions set forth
in Section 3.04 of the Third Supplemental Indenture. If any Note is to be
redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall
state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in
a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the
name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after
the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof
called for redemption so long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent
for the Notes funds in satisfaction of the redemption price pursuant to the
Indenture and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such funds to the
Holders pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.
<PAGE>
7. CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER.
Following the occurrence of a Change of Control (the date of such
occurrence being the "Change of Control Date"), the Company shall, within 30
days after the Change of Control Date, make an Offer to Purchase all Notes then
outstanding at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the
Purchase Date (subject to the right of Holders to receive interest due on the
relevant Interest Payment Date).
8. LIMITATION ON DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
The Company is, subject to certain conditions and certain exceptions,
obligated to make an Offer to Purchase Notes at a purchase price equal to 100%
of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if
any, to the Purchase Date (subject to the right of Holders to receive interest
due on the relevant Interest Payment Date) with the proceeds of certain Asset
Dispositions as set forth in Section 4.05 of the Base Indenture.
9. DENOMINATIONS; TRANSFER; EXCHANGE.
The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of
[$______] and integral multiples of [$______]. A Holder shall register the
transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar
may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements
and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental
charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The
Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions
thereof selected for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being
redeemed in part.
10. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.
The registered Holder of a Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all
purposes.
11. UNCLAIMED FUNDS.
If funds for the payment of principal or interest remain unclaimed for two
years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will repay the funds to the Company at
their written request. After that, all liability of the Trustee and such Paying
Agent with respect to such funds shall cease.
12. LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE.
The Company and the Guarantors may be discharged from their obligations
under the Indenture, the Guarantees and the Notes, except for certain provisions
thereof, and may be discharged from obligations to comply with certain covenants
contained in the Indenture, the Guarantees and the Notes, in each case, upon
satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Indenture.
<PAGE>
13. AMENDMENT; SUPPLEMENT; WAIVER.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Guarantees and the Notes
may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of all series then
outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any
provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; provided that if there
--------
shall be notes of more than one series outstanding and if the proposed action to
be taken will materially adversely affect the rights of holders of Notes of one
or more of such series, then the consent only of Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount (or, if provided in the Supplemental Indentures with
respect to more than one series of the Notes, Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under such multiple
series) of outstanding Notes of each series so affected shall be required.
Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or
supplement the Indenture, the Guarantees and the Notes to, among other things,
cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Notes in
addition to or in place of certificated Notes or comply with any requirements of
the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or
make any other change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of
any Holder of a Note.
14. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.
The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit
the ability of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries to make restricted
payments, to incur indebtedness, to create liens, to sell assets, to permit
restrictions on dividends and other payments by Restricted Subsidiaries to the
Company, to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all its assets and
to engage in transactions with affiliates. The limitations are subject to a
number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Company must report
quarterly to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.
15. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders
of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding may
declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately in the manner and with
the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of Notes may not enforce the
Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The
Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes
unless it has received an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. The
Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to direct
the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold
from Holders of Notes notice of certain continuing Defaults or Events of Default
if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.
<PAGE>
16. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY.
The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity,
may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the
Company, the Guarantors, their respective Subsidiaries or their respective
Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.
17. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.
No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company
or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the
Company or any Guarantor under the Notes or the Guarantees, as the case may be,
or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of,
such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and
releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issuance of the Notes and the Guarantees.

This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee or authenticating agent
signs the certificate of authentication on this Note.

SECTION 2.2 Execution and Authentication.
(a) The Series E Notes shall be executed and authenticated
pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Indenture.
SECTION 2.3 Conversion Privilege.
The initial Holder or a permitted transferee of such Holder that is an
Institutional Holder may convert the Series E Notes held by it into units
("Units") comprised of shares of Class A Common Stock and Series C Preferred
Stock as follows. The Series E Notes may not be converted on or before October
31, 1999 and may not be converted after the occurrence of an Expiration Event.
On any day that is both (x) after October 31, 1999 and (y) before the occurrence
of an Expiration Event, an Institutional Holder may convert the Series E Notes
then held by it, in an amount equal to all (or any part of the principal thereof
that is an integral multiple of $100,000) of the Series E Notes owned by such
Holder, into a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common
Stock and Series C Preferred Stock determined as set forth below. The conversion
privilege shall terminate permanently (a) as to all Series E Notes upon the
occurrence of an Expiration Event and (b) as to a particular Series E Note upon
any transfer of such Note to any Person that is not an Institutional Holder.
(a) Number of Shares of Class A Common Stock and Series C
Preferred Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. Each Unit shall
consist of 1 share of Class A Common Stock and 1 share of
Series C Preferred Stock. The number of Units to be issued
upon any conversion of Series E Notes shall be equal to (i)
the principal amount of Series E Notes to be converted,
divided by (ii) $1,200.
(b) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Class A
Common Stock or Series C Preferred Stock shall be issued
upon conversion of Series E Notes. In lieu of any
fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be
entitled after determination of the aggregate full number
of shares of Class A Common Stock and Series C Preferred
Stock issuable in respect of the principal amount of Series
E Notes then being converted, the Company shall pay cash
equal to such fraction multiplied by the Liquidation
Preference of the shares of Class A Common Stock or Series
C Preferred Stock,
11
<PAGE>
as the case may be, to which the Holder
would otherwise be entitled.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. In order for a Holder of Series
E Notes to convert such Series E Notes into Units, such
Holder of Series E Notes shall surrender his or its Note(s)
in the aggregate principal amount to be converted to the
Company at the office of the [Trustee], together with
written notice that such Holder elects to convert the
aggregate principal amount of Series E Notes specified in
such notice. The date of receipt of such Note(s) and notice
by the Company at such office shall be the "Conversion
Date". If required by the Company, Series E Notes
surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied
by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form
satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the Holder or
his or its attorney duly authorized in writing. As soon as
practicable after the Conversion Date and the surrender of
the Series E Notes(s), the Company shall issue and deliver
to such Holder, at its address as it appears on the books
of the Registrar, one or more certificates for the number
of shares of Class A Common Stock and Series C Preferred
Stock, respectively, issuable upon such conversion in
accordance with the provisions hereof.
(d) Reservation of Shares. The Company shall, at all times
when the Series E Notes shall be outstanding, reserve and
keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock,
for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series E
Notes, such number of its duly authorized shares of Class A
Common Stock and Series C Preferred Stock as shall from
time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
outstanding Series E Notes. Before taking any action which
would cause Class A Common Stock or Series C Preferred
Stock, upon the conversion of Series E Notes, to be issued
below the then par value of the shares of Class A Common
Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, the
Company will take any corporate action that may, in the
opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-
assessable shares of Class A Common Stock and Series C
Preferred Stock to the Holders of Series E Notes.
(e) Interest. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Series E
Notes shall be convertible in the same manner as principal.
(f) Termination of Rights. All Series E Notes that shall be
subject to conversion as herein provided, and which have
not been surrendered prior to the Conversion Date, shall no
longer be
12
<PAGE>
deemed to be outstanding and all rights with
respect to such Series E Notes, including the rights, if
any, to receive notices, shall immediately cease and
terminate on the Conversion Date, except only the right of
the Holders thereof to receive payment of any accrued and
unpaid interest thereon. On and as of the Conversion Date,
the shares of Class A Common Stock and Series C Preferred
Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to be
outstanding, and the holder thereof shall be entitled to
exercise and enjoy all rights with respect to such shares
of Class A Common Stock and Series C Preferred Stock,
including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to
vote.
(g) No Conversion Charge or Tax. The issuance and delivery of
certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock and Series
C Preferred Stock upon the conversion of Series E Notes
shall be made without charge to the Holder of Series E
Notes for any issue or transfer tax, or other incidental
expense in respect of the issuance or delivery of such
certificates or the securities represented thereby, all of
which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company.
(h) Reorganization, Reclassification and Merger Adjustment.
If there occurs any capital reorganization or any
reclassification of Class A Common Stock or Series C
Preferred Stock, the consolidation or merger of the Company
with or into another Person (other than a consolidation or
merger of the Company in which the Company is the
continuing corporation and that does not result in any
reclassification or change of outstanding shares of its
Class A Common Stock) or the sale or conveyance of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company to another
Person, then each Series E Note shall thereafter be
convertible into the same kind and amounts of securities
(including shares of stock) or other assets, or both, that
were issuable or distributable to the holders of
outstanding Class A Common Stock or Series C Preferred
Stock, as the case may be, upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance, in respect of that number of shares of Class A
Common Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may
be, into which such principal amount of Series E Notes
might have been converted immediately prior to such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale or conveyance; and, in any such case, appropriate
adjustments (as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company), whose determination shall be
conclusive) shall be made to assure that the provisions set
forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as
reasonably may be practicable, in
13
<PAGE>
relation to any securities or other assets thereafter
deliverable upon the conversion of the Series E Notes.
(i) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the securities or other
property deliverable upon the conversion of the Series E
Notes shall be adjusted pursuant to the provisions hereof,
the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to
each Holder of Series E Notes at such Holder's address as
it appears on the transfer books of the Registrar and shall
forthwith file, at its principal executive office and with
the Trustee, a certificate, signed by the Chairman of the
Board, President or one of the Vice Presidents of the
Company, and by its Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or
one of its Assistant Treasurers, stating the securities or
other property deliverable per $100,000 in principal amount
of Series E Notes calculated to the nearest cent or to the
nearest one-hundredth of a share and setting forth in
reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts
requiring such adjustment and upon which such calculation
is based. Each adjustment shall remain in effect until a
subsequent adjustment hereunder is required.

Series E Note, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that,
to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article 6, the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on each and all the
Series E Notes and the repurchase, redemption or other retirement of the Series
E Notes is hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of
29
<PAGE>
payment to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents or, as
acceptable to the holders of Senior Debt, in any other manner, of all Senior
Debt in the manner set forth in this Article 6. The terms of this Article 6 are
for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable directly by, each holder of Senior
Debt, and each holder of Senior Debt whether now outstanding or hereafter
created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed shall be deemed to have acquired such
Senior Debt in reliance upon the covenants and provisions contained herein.
SECTION 6.2 Payment of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc.
Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company to creditors
upon any liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, reorganization, assignment for
the benefit of creditors, marshaling of assets or liabilities or any bankruptcy,
reorganization, receivership, insolvency or similar proceedings of the Company
or its property, whether voluntary or involuntary (each such event, if any,
herein sometimes referred to as a "Proceeding"):
(a) The holders of Senior Debt shall receive payment in full in
cash or cash equivalents or, as acceptable to the holders of
Senior Debt, in any other manner, of all amounts due on or to
become due on or in respect of all Senior Debt (including any
interest accruing thereon after the commencement of any such
Proceeding, whether or not allowed as a claim against the
Company in such Proceeding) or provision shall be made for
such payment in a manner acceptable to such holders before
the Trustee or the Holders of the Series E Notes are entitled
to receive any payment or distribution whether by setoff,
exercising contractual or statutory rights or otherwise and
whether in the form of cash, stock or property or otherwise
(excluding any payment or distribution described in the last
paragraph of Section 6.02(b)), on account of the principal
of, premium, if any, interest on or any other obligation
owing in respect of the Series E Notes or on account of any
purchase, redemption or other acquisition of Series E Notes
by the Company (all such payments, distributions, purchases,
redemptions and acquisitions, whether or not in connection
with a Proceeding (but excluding any payment or distribution
described in the last paragraph of Section 6.02(b)), being
herein referred to, individually and collectively, as a
"Securities Payment"); and
(b) Any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any
kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities,
by set-off or otherwise, to which the Trustee or the Holders
of the Series E Notes would be entitled but for the
provisions of this Article 6, shall be paid by the Company or
the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such
payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a
receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the
holders of Senior Debt or their representatives or trustees
under any credit agreement, indenture or other agreement
30
<PAGE>
under which any such Senior Debt may have been issued,
ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid
on account of the Senior Debt held or represented by each, to
the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash or cash
equivalents or, as acceptable to the holders of Senior Debt,
in any other manner, of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid,
after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution
to the holders of such Senior Debt.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
section, the Trustee or the Holder of any Series E Notes shall have received in
connection with any Proceeding any Securities Payment before all Senior Debt is
paid in full or payment thereof is provided for in cash or cash equivalents,
then and in such event such Securities Payment shall be held in trust for the
benefit of and paid over or delivered forthwith to the trustee in bankruptcy,
receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making
payment or distribution of assets of the Company for application to the payment
of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to make payment in
full in cash or cash equivalents or, as acceptable to the holders of the Senior
Debt, in any other manner, of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid after giving
effect to any concurrent payment to or for the holders of Senior Debt.
For purposes of this Article 6 only, the words "payment or
distribution" or "any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether
in cash, property or securities" shall not be deemed to include a payment or
distribution of stock or securities of the Company provided for by a plan of
reorganization or readjustment authorized by an order or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction in a reorganization proceeding under any applicable
bankruptcy law or of any other corporation provided for by such plan of
reorganization or readjustment, which stock or securities are subordinated in
right of payment to all then outstanding Senior Debt to substantially the same
extent, or to a greater extent than, the Series E Notes are so subordinated as
provided in this Article 6. The consolidation of the Company with, or the
merger of the Company into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of
the Company following the conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially
all of its properties and assets to another Person and so long as permitted
under the terms of the Senior Debt shall not be deemed a Proceeding for the
purposes of this section if the Person formed by such consolidation or into
which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance, transfer
or lease such properties and assets, as the case may be, shall, as a part of
such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, comply with the
conditions set forth in Article 6.
(c) To the extent any payment of Senior Debt (whether by or on
behalf of the Company, as proceeds of security or enforcement
of any right of setoff or otherwise) is declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be paid
to any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee,
agent or other similar Person under any bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership, fraudulent conveyance or similar
law, then if such payment is recovered by, or paid over to,
such receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee,
agent or other similar Person, the Senior Debt or part
31
<PAGE>
thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be deemed
to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not
occurred.
SECTION 6.3 No Payment When Designated Senior Debt in Default.
In the event that any Senior Payment Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, then no Securities Payment whether by setoff, exercising
contractual or statutory rights or otherwise and whether in the form of cash,
stock or property or otherwise shall be made, unless and until such Senior
Payment Default shall have been cured or waived in writing or shall have ceased
to exist or all amounts then due and payable in respect of such Designated
Senior Debt (including, without limitation, amounts that have become and remain
due by acceleration) shall have been paid in full in cash. "Senior Payment
Default" means any default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any,
or interest on any Designated Senior Debt when due, whether at the stated
maturity of any such payment or by declaration of acceleration, call for
redemption, notice of the exercise of an option to require such repayment,
mandatory payment or prepayment or otherwise.
In the event that any Senior Nonmonetary Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, then, upon the receipt by the Company of written notice of
such Senior Nonmonetary Default from the administrative agent under the Credit
Facility (the "Administrative Agent") to which such Senior Nonmonetary Default
relates or, if no loans or other amounts are then outstanding under the Credit
Facility or any renewal, extension or refunding thereof, and the Credit Facility
and any such renewal, extension or refunding have been terminated, upon receipt
of such notice by or on behalf of any other holder or holders of Designated
Senior Debt in an aggregate amount in excess of $25,000,000, no Securities
Payment shall be made whether by setoff, exercising contractual or statutory
rights or otherwise and whether in the form of cash, stock or property or
otherwise during the period (the "Payment Blockage Period") commencing on the
date of such receipt by the Company of such written notice and ending on the
earlier of (a) the date, if any, on which the Designated Senior Debt to which
such Senior Nonmonetary Default relates is discharged or such Senior Nonmonetary
Default shall have been cured or waived in writing or shall have ceased to exist
and any acceleration of Designated Senior Debt to which such Senior Nonmonetary
Default relates shall have been rescinded or annulled and (b) the 179th day
after the date of receipt of such written notice. No more than one Payment
Blockage Period may be commenced with respect to the Series E Notes during any
period of 360 consecutive days and there shall be a period of at least 181
consecutive days in each period of 360 consecutive days when no Payment Blockage
Period is in effect. Following the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period,
the holders of Designated Senior Debt shall be precluded from commencing a
subsequent Payment Blockage Period until the conditions set forth in the
preceding sentence shall have been satisfied. For all purposes of this
paragraph, no Senior Nonmonetary Default that existed and was continuing on the
date of commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the
Designated Senior Debt initiating such Payment Blockage Period shall be, or may
be made, the basis for the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period
by any holder of Designated Senior Debt or any representative or trustee under
any indenture under which any such Designated Senior Debt may have been issued
unless such Senior Nonmonetary Default shall have been cured for a period of not
less than 90 consecutive days. "Senior Nonmonetary Default" means any default
(other than
32
<PAGE>
a Senior Payment Default), under the terms of any instrument or agreement
pursuant to which any Senior Debt is outstanding, permitting one or more holders
of such Designated Senior Debt or any representative or trustee under any
indenture under which any such Designated Senior Debt may have been issued to
declare such Designated Senior Debt due and payable prior to the date on which
it would otherwise become due and payable.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
make any Securities Payment to any holder prohibited by the foregoing provisions
of this Section 6.03, then in such event such Securities Payment shall be held
in trust and paid over and delivered forthwith to the representatives or trustee
under any indenture under which any such Designated Senior Debt may have been
issued ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of
the Designated Senior Debt held or represented by under the Designated Senior
Debt or, if there is no such representative or trustee with respect to such
Designated Senior Debt, to the holders of such Designated Senior Debt.
The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall not apply to any Securities
Payment with respect to which Section 6.02 hereof would be applicable.
SECTION 6.4 Acceleration of Series E Notes.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (other
than an Event of Default pursuant to paragraphs (ix) and (x) of Section 6.01 of
the Indenture), the Trustee shall give the holders of the Designated Senior Debt
not less than 30 days prior written notice before accelerating the Series E
Notes which notice shall state it is a "Notice of Intent to Accelerate". Upon
such declaration, the holders of Designated Senior Debt outstanding at the time
the Series E Notes so become due and payable shall be entitled to receive
payment in full in cash, cash equivalents or, as acceptable to the holders of
the Designated Senior Debt, in any other manner on all amounts due or to become
due on or in respect of such Designated Senior Debt, before the Company may
make, and before any Holder of the Series E Notes is entitled to receive, any
payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character,
whether in cash, securities or other property on account of any Series E Notes.
All payments in respect of the Subordinated Debt postponed under this Section
6.04 shall be immediately due and payable upon the termination of such
postponement; the remittance in full of such payments by the Company in
accordance with the terms of the this Supplemental Indenture and the acceptance
thereof by the Holders of the Series E Notes shall be deemed to constitute a
cure by the Company and a waiver by the Holders of the Series E Notes of any
Event of Default that existed immediately prior to such remittance and
acceptance to the extent that such Event of Default existed solely as a
consequence of the previous non-payment of such postponed payments during such
period of postponement.
SECTION 6.5 Payment Permitted If No Default.
Nothing contained in this Article 6 or elsewhere in this Supplemental
Indenture or in any of the Series E Notes shall prevent the Company, at any time
except during the pendency of any Proceeding referred to in Section 6.02 or
under the conditions described in Section 6.03, from making Securities Payments
in accordance with the terms of this Supplemental Indenture.
33
<PAGE>
Nothing in this Article 6 shall have any effect on the right of the Trustee (on
behalf of the Holders) or the Holders to accelerate the maturity of the Series E
Notes upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, but, in that event, no payment
may be made in violation of the provisions of this Article 6 with respect to the
Series E Notes. If payment of the Series E Notes is accelerated because of an
Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify the holders of the Senior
Debt (or their representatives) of such acceleration.
SECTION 6.6 Obligation of Company Unconditional.
Nothing contained in this Article 6 or elsewhere in this Supplemental
Indenture or in the Series E Notes is intended to or shall impair, as among the
Company and the Holders of the Series E Notes, the obligation of the Company,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Series E Notes
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series E Notes as and
when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is
intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Series E
Notes and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Debt,
nor shall anything herein or therein prevent any Holder or the Trustee on their
behalf from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon
default under this Supplemental Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under
this Article 6 of the holders of the Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or
securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained in
this Article 6 shall restrict the right of the Trustee or the Holders of the
Series E Notes to take any action to declare the Series E Notes to be due and
payable prior to their stated maturity pursuant to Section 5.01 or to pursue any
rights or remedies hereunder; provided, however, that all Senior Debt then due
and payable shall first be paid in full before the Holders or the Trustee are
entitled to receive any direct or indirect payment from the Company of principal
of or interest on the Series E Notes.
SECTION 6.7 Subrogation To Rights of Holders of Senior Debt.
Subject to the payment in full in cash or cash equivalents, or as
acceptable to the holders of Senior Debt, in any other manner, of all Senior
Debt, the Trustee and the Holders of the Series E Notes shall be subrogated to
the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments and
distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior Debt
until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series E Notes
shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or
distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of any cash, property or
securities to which the Trustee and the Holders of the Series E Notes would be
entitled except for the provisions of this Article 6, and no payments pursuant
to the provisions of this Article 6 to the holders of Senior Debt by Holders of
the Series E Notes, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than
holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of the Series E Notes, be deemed to be a
payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt.
SECTION 6.8 Provisions Solely To Define Relative Rights.
34
<PAGE>
The provisions of this Article 6 are and are intended solely for the
purpose of defining the relative rights of the Trustee and the Holders of the
Series E Notes on the one hand and the holders of Senior Debt on the other hand.
Nothing contained in this Article 6 or elsewhere in this Supplemental Indenture
or in the Series E Notes is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the
Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt and the Trustee and the
Holders of the Series E Notes, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute
and unconditional (and which, subject to the rights under this Article 6 of the
holders of Senior Debt, is intended to rank equally with all other general
obligations of the Company), to pay to the Trustee for the Holders of the Series
E Notes the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series E Notes as
and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms;
or (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Trustee, the
Holders of the Series E Notes and creditors of the Company other than the
holders of Senior Debt; or (c) prevent the Trustee or any Holder of any Series E
Note from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon
default under this Supplemental Indenture, subject to this Article 6, including
the rights, if any, under this Article 6 of the holders of Senior Debt to
receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to such
holder or, under the conditions specified in Section 6.03, to prevent any
payment prohibited by such section or enforce their rights pursuant to the
penultimate paragraph in Article 6.
SECTION 6.9 No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.
No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce
the subordination provisions provided herein shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company
or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any
noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this
Supplemental Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder
may have or be otherwise charged with.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph,
the holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the
consent of or notice to the Holders of the Series E Notes, without incurring
responsibility to the Holders of the Series E Notes and without impairing or
releasing the subordination provided in this Article 6 or the obligations
hereunder of the Trustee or Holders of the Series E Notes to the holders of
Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: (a) change the manner, place
or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew, refinance or
alter, any Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner any
Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which
such Senior Debt is outstanding; (b) permit the Company to borrow, repay and
then reborrow any or all the Senior Debt; (c) sell, exchange, release or
otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior
Debt; (d) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior
Debt; (e) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and
any other Person; and (f) apply any sums received by such holders to Senior
Debt.
SECTION 6.10 Reliance On Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating
Agent.
35
<PAGE>
Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to
in this Article 6, the Trustee and the Holders of the Series E Notes shall be
entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent
jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the
receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidation trustee, custodian, assignee for
the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or
distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders for the purpose of
ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt, the amount thereof or payable
thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts
pertinent thereto or to this Article 6; provided that the foregoing shall apply
only if such court has been apprised of the provisions of this Article 6.
SECTION 6.11 Notice to Trustee.
The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or
by the Trustee in respect of the Series E Notes pursuant to the provisions of
this Article 6. Failure to give such notice to the Trustee shall not affect the
subordination of the Series E Notes to Senior Debt. The Trustee shall not be
charged with knowledge of the existence of any default or event of default with
respect to any Senior Debt or of any other facts which would prohibit the making
of any payment to or by the Trustee unless and until the Trustee shall have
received notice in writing to that effect signed by an officer of the Company,
or by a holder of any Senior Debt or trustee or agent therefor; and prior to the
receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall, subject to Article 7 of
the Indenture, be entitled to assume that no such facts exist; provided,
however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in
this Section 6.11 at least three Business Days prior to the date upon which by
the terms of this Supplemental Indenture any moneys shall become payable for any
purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Series E Note), then, regardless of anything
herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to
receive any moneys from the Company and to apply the same to the purpose for
which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary which may be received by it on or after such prior date. Nothing
contained in this Section 6.11 shall limit the right of the holders of Senior
Debt to recover payments as contemplated by Article 6. The Trustee shall be
entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person
representing himself or itself to be a holder of any Senior Debt (or a trustee
on behalf of, or other representative of, such holder) to establish that such
notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Debt or a trustee or
representative on behalf of any such holder.
In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that any
evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of any
Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this
Article 6, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Debt held
by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in
such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such
Person under this Article 6, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee
may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the
right of such Person to receive such payment.
36
<PAGE>
SECTION 6.12 Trustee's Relation to Senior Debt.
The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this
Article 6 with respect to any Senior Debt which may at any time be held by it in
its individual or any other capacity to the same extent as any other holder of
such Senior Debt, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any
of its rights as such holder.
With respect to the holders of any Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes
to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Article 6, and no implied covenants or
obligations with respect to the holders of such Senior Debt shall be read into
this Supplemental Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be
deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of any Senior Debt (except as
provided in Section 6.02(b)). The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge
of the existence of any Senior Debt or of any facts that would prohibit any
payment hereunder unless the Trustee shall have received written notice to that
effect at the address of the Trustee set forth in Section 11.01 of the
Indenture.
SECTION 6.13 Series E Note Holders Authorize Trustee to Effectuate
Subordination.
Each Holder of Series E Notes by its acceptance of such Series E Notes
authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action

TAX MATTERS
SECTION 7.1 Taxes.
(a) All payments made by the Company under this Supplemental
Indenture and the Series E Notes shall be made free and clear
of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account
of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or
withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected,
withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding
net income taxes and franchise or overall gross receipts
taxes imposed on any holder (or any transferee permitted
under Section 2.15 of the Indenture (a "Transferee")) as a
result of a present or former connection between such holder
(or Transferee) and the jurisdiction of the Governmental
Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such
connection arising solely from such holder (or Transferee)
having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or
received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or the
Notes). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts,
duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings ("Non-
Excluded Taxes") are required to be withheld from any amounts
payable to any holder (or Transferee) hereunder or under the
Series E Notes, the amounts so payable to such holder (or
Transferee) shall be increased to the extent necessary to
yield to such holder (or Transferee) (after payment of all
Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts
payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in
this Supplemental Indenture and the Series E Notes; provided
that the Company shall not be required to increase any such
amounts payable to any holder (or Transferee) that is not
organized under the laws of the United States of America or a
state thereof if such holder (or Transferee) fails to comply
with the requirements
38
<PAGE>
of paragraph (b) of this section. Whenever any Non-Excluded
Taxes are payable by the Company, as promptly as possible
thereafter, the Company shall send to such holder (or
Transferee) a certified copy of an original official receipt
received by the Company showing payment thereof. If the
Company fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the
appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the holder
(or Transferee) the required receipts or other required
documentary evidence, the Company shall indemnify such holder
or (Transferee) for any incremental taxes, interest or
penalties that may become payable by any holder or
(Transferee) as a result of any such failure. The covenants
in this section shall survive the termination of the
Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the payment of the
Series E Notes and payment of the obligations hereunder and
thereunder.
(b) Each holder (or Transferee) of any Notes shall:
(i) in the case of a holder (or Transferee) that is a
"bank" under Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code;
(1) on or before the date on which the first payment
becomes payable to it hereunder or under any Note
(or in the case of a Person who acquires a
participating interest in any of the Series E Notes
(a "Participant"), on or before the date such
Participant becomes a Participant hereunder)
deliver to the Company (1) in the case of a holder
(or Transferee) that is not incorporated under the
laws of the United States or any State thereof, two
duly completed copies of United States Internal
Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224, or successor
applicable form, as the case may be, and an
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, or
successor applicable form, as the case may be, and
(2) in the case of any other holder (or
Transferee), an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9,
or successor applicable form;
(2) deliver to the Company two further copies of any
such form or certification on or before the date
that any such form or certification expires or
becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any
event requiring a change in the most recent form
previously delivered by it to the Company, and
39
<PAGE>
(3) obtain such extensions of time for filing and
timely complete and deliver such forms or
certifications as may reasonably be requested by
the Company;
(ii) in the case of a holder (or Transferee) that is not a
"bank" under Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code:
(1) on or before the date on which the first payment
becomes payable to it hereunder or under any Note
(or, in the case of a Participant, on or before the
date such Participant becomes a Participant
hereunder) deliver to the Company (1) in the case
of a holder (or Transferee) that is not organized
under the laws of the United States or any state
thereof, (I) a statement under penalties of perjury
that such holder (or Transferee) (x) is not a
"bank" under Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is
not subject to regulatory or other legal
requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction, and has
not been treated as a bank for purposes of any tax,
securities law or other filing or submission made

applicable successor form, and (2) in the case of
any other holder (or Transferee), an Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor applicable
form.
(2) deliver to the Company two further properly
completed and duly executed copies of said form or
certification or any successor applicable form or
certification on or before the date that any such
form or certification expires or becomes obsolete
or after the occurrence of any event requiring a
change in the most recent form or certification
previously delivered by it to the Company or upon
the request of the Company; and
40
<PAGE>
(3) obtain such extensions of time for filing and
timely complete and deliver such forms or
certifications as may be reasonably requested by
the Company;
unless in any such case any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred
subsequent to the date such holder (or Transferee) became a party to this
Agreement (or, in the case of a Participant, the date such Participant became a
Participant hereunder) which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would
prevent such holder from properly completing and executing any such form with
respect to it and such holder (or Transferee) so advises the Company in writing
no later than 15 calendar days before any payment hereunder or under any Note is
due. Each such holder (and each Transferee) shall certify (i) in the case of a
Form 1001 or 4224 or in the case of a holder providing certification pursuant to
Section 7.01(b)(ii), that it is entitled to receive payments under this
Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income
taxes and (ii) in the case of a Form W-8 or W-9 delivered pursuant to Section
7.01(b), that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup
withholding tax. Each Person that shall become a holder or a Participant shall,
upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, provide all of the forms and
statements required pursuant to this section; provided that, in the case of a
Participant, such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and
statements to the holder from which the related participation shall have been
purchased.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
Section 7.01, the Company shall only be required to pay any
additional amounts to any holder (or Transferee) in respect
of any amounts pursuant to such paragraph (a) if such holder
(or Transferee), in addition to complying with the
requirements of paragraph (b), shall have taken such other
steps as such holder or Transferee may determine in the
exercise of its business judgment (utilizing criteria it
determines to be appropriate) are reasonably available to it
under applicable laws and any applicable tax treaty or
convention to obtain an exemption from, or reduction (to the
lowest applicable rate) of, such tax (it being understood
that no holder shall be required to take any action that it
concludes could subject it to heightened audit scrutiny or
extend the period that such holder's tax returns remain open
for review by any taxing authority).
(d) Any claim by a holder (or Transferee) for payment from the
Company of any amounts under this Section 7.01 shall be made
within ninety (90) days after such holder (or Transferee)
determines the exact amount of any such claim.

The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or
in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or the
due execution hereof by the Company, or for or in respect of the recitals and
statements contained herein, all of which recitals and statements are made
solely by the Company.
Except as herein otherwise provided, no duties, responsibilities or
liabilities are assumed, or shall be construed to be assumed, by the Trustee by
reason of this Supplemental Indenture other than as set forth in the Indenture,

GUARANTEE
SECTION 9.1 Unconditional Guarantee.
Each Guarantor who becomes a party to this Supplemental Indenture
hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantees to each Holder of a
Series E Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and
its successors and assigns that: the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on the Series E Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any
applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and
interest on the overdue principal and interest on any overdue interest on the
Series E Notes and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the
Trustee hereunder or under the Indenture or the Series E Notes will be promptly
paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof;
subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 9.04. Each such
Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Series E
Notes, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture, the absence of any action
to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Series E Notes
with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment
against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance
which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
Guarantor. Each such Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of
payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy
of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company,
protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Guarantee will
not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in
the Series E Notes, the Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture, and such
Guarantee.
If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to
return to the Company, any Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or
other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any
amount paid by the Company or any Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this
Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full
force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each
Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand,
(x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as
provided in Article Six of the Indenture for the purpose of this Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
42
<PAGE>
prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations
as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due
and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the
purpose of this Guarantee.
43
<PAGE>
SECTION 9.2 Severability.
In case any provision of this Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 9.3 Release of a Guarantor.
If the Series E Notes are defeased in accordance with Section 8.02 of
the Indenture, or if all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor is sold
(including by issuance or otherwise) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
in a transaction constituting an Asset Disposition (or which, but for the
provisions of clause (c) of the definition of such term, would constitute an
Asset Disposition), and, if required by this Supplemental Indenture, (x) the Net
Available Proceeds from such Asset Disposition are used in accordance with
Section 4.05 of the Indenture or (y) the Company delivers to the Trustee an
Officer's Certificate covenanting that the Net Available Proceeds from such
Asset Disposition will be used in accordance with Section 4.05 of the Indenture
and within the time limits specified thereon, then such Guarantor shall be
released and discharged from all obligations under this Article 9 upon such use
in the case of clause (x) or upon such delivery in the case of clause (y). The
Trustee shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Company and upon receipt at
the reasonable request of the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel that the
provisions of this Section 9.03 have been complied with, deliver an appropriate
instrument evidencing such release upon receipt of a request by the Company
accompanied by an Officers' Certificate certifying as to the compliance with
this Section 9.03, any Guarantor not so released remains liable for the full
amount of principal of (premium, if any) hereunder as provided in this Article
9.
Any Subsidiary of the Company that ceases to be a direct or indirect
obligor (including as guarantor) under, or in respect of all Senior Credit
Facilities shall be released from its Guarantee upon delivery of an Officers'
Certificate to the Trustee certifying to such effect.
SECTION 9.4 Limitation of Guarantor's Liability.
Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder and the
Trustee, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the
guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of title 11 of the United States
Code, as amended, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or any similar U.S.
Federal or state or other applicable law. To effectuate the foregoing
intention, the Holders and such Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the
obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be limited to the
maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed
liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or
payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to Section
9.05, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not
constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
SECTION 9.5 Contribution.
44
<PAGE>
In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the
Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or
distribution is made by any Guarantor (a "Funding Guarantor") under the
Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all
other Guarantors in a pro rata amount, based on the net assets of each Guarantor
(including the Funding Guarantor), determined in accordance with GAAP, subject
to Section 9.04, for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding
Guarantor in discharging the Company's obligations with respect to the Series E
Notes or any other Guarantor's obligations with respect to the Guarantee.
SECTION 9.6 Execution of Guarantee.
To further evidence its Guarantee to the Holders, any Guarantor
required to Guarantee the Series E Notes pursuant to Section 4.13 shall execute
the endorsement of Guarantee in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A
hereto, which endorsement shall be delivered to each Holder to be attached to
each Series E Note. Each such Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set
forth in Section 9.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any
failure to endorse on each Series E Note a notation of such Guarantee. Each
such Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of each Guarantor by its chairman of
the board, its president or one of its vice presidents prior to the
authentication of the Series E Note on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of
such Series E Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder,
shall constitute due delivery of such Guarantee on behalf of such Guarantor.
Such signature upon the Guarantee may be manual or facsimile signature of such
officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Guarantee, and in
case such officer who shall have signed the Guarantee shall cease to be such
officer before the Series E Note on which such Guarantee is endorsed shall have
been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company,
such Series E Note nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed
of as though the Person who signed the Guarantee had not ceased to be such
officer of the Guarantor.
SECTION 9.7 Subordination of Subrogation and Other Rights.
Each Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that any claim against the
Company that arises from the payment, performance or endorsement of such
Guarantor's obligations under its Guarantee or this Supplemental Indenture,
including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, is expressly made
subordinate to and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full in
cash or cash equivalents or, as acceptable to the Holders of the Series E Notes,
in any other manner, of all outstanding Series E Notes in accordance with the
provisions provided therefor in this Supplemental Indenture.

SUBORDINATION OF GUARANTEE
SECTION 10.1 Guarantee Obligations Subordinated to Senior Debt.
Each Guarantor covenants and agrees, and the Trustee and each Holder
of the Series E Notes by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees,
that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section
10.01, the Guarantees shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article
10; and each Person holding any Series E Note, whether upon original issue or
upon transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, accepts and agrees that all
payments of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series E
Notes pursuant to the Guarantee made by or on behalf of any Guarantor is
expressly hereby made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior
payment in full in cash or cash equivalents or, as acceptable to the holders of
Senior Debt in any other manner, of all Senior Debt in the manner set forth in
this Article 10. The terms of this Article 10 are for the benefit of, and shall
be enforceable directly by, each holder of Senior Debt, and each holder of
Senior Debt whether how outstanding or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or
guaranteed shall be deemed to have acquired such Senior Debt in reliance upon
the covenants and provisions contained herein.
SECTION 10.2 Payment of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc.
Upon any payment or distribution of assets of any Guarantor to
creditors upon any Proceeding:
(a) The holders of Senior Debt shall receive payment in full in
cash or cash equivalents or, as acceptable to the holders of
Senior Debt, in any other manner, of all amounts due on or to
become due on or in respect of all Senior Debt (including any
interest accruing thereon after the commencement of any such
Proceeding, whether or not allowed as a claim against such
Guarantor in such Proceeding) or provision shall be made for
such payment in a manner acceptable to such holders before
any payment or distribution may be made to the Trustee or the
Holders of the Series E Notes by, or on behalf of, any
Guarantor, whether by setoff, exercising contractual or
statutory rights or otherwise and whether in the form of
cash, stock or property or otherwise (excluding any payment
or distribution described in the last paragraph of Section
10.02(b)), on account of the principal of, premium, if any,
interest on or any other obligation owing in respect of the
Series E Notes (all such payments, distributions, purchases,
redemptions and acquisitions, whether or not in connection
with a Proceeding (but excluding any payment or distribution
described in the last paragraph of Section 10.02(b)), being
herein referred to, individually and collectively, as a
"Guarantee Payment"); and
46
<PAGE>
(b) Any payment or distribution of assets of any Guarantor of any
kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities,
by set-off or otherwise, to which the Trustee or the Holders
of the Series E Notes would be entitled but for the
provisions of this Article 10, shall be paid by the Guarantor
or the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making
such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in
bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise,
directly to the holders of Senior Debt or their
representatives or trustees under any credit agreement,
indenture or other agreement under which any such Senior Debt
may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate
amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior Debt held
or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make
payment in full in cash or cash equivalents or, as acceptable
to the holders of Senior Debt, in any other manner, of all
Senior Debt remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such
Senior Debt.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
section, the Trustee or the Holder of any Series E Notes shall have received in
connection with any Proceeding any Guarantee Payment before all Senior Debt is
paid in full or payment thereof is provided for in cash or cash equivalents,
then and in such event such Guarantee Payment shall be held in trust for the
benefit of and paid over or delivered forthwith to the trustee in bankruptcy,
receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making
payment or distribution of assets of such Guarantor for application to the
payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to make
payment in full in cash or cash equivalents or, as acceptable to the holders of
the Senior Debt, in any other manner, of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid after
giving effect to any concurrent payment to or for the holders of Senior Debt.
For purposes of this Article 10 only, the words "payment or
distribution" or "any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether
in cash, property or securities" shall not be deemed to include a payment or
distribution of stock or securities of any Guarantor provided for by a plan of
reorganization or readjustment authorized by an order or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction in a reorganization proceeding under any applicable
bankruptcy law or of any other corporation provided for by such plan of
reorganization or readjustment, which stock or securities are subordinated in
right of payment to all then outstanding Senior Debt to substantially the same
extent, or to a greater extent than, any payment by such Guarantor of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Series E Notes are so
subordinated as provided in this Article 10. The consolidation of any Guarantor
with, or the merger of any Guarantor into, another Person or the liquidation or
dissolution of any Guarantor following the conveyance, transfer or lease of all
or substantially all of its properties and assets to another Person and so long
as permitted under the terms of the Senior Debt shall not be deemed a Proceeding
for the purposes of this section if the Person formed by such consolidation or
into which any Guarantor is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance,
transfer or lease
47
<PAGE>
such properties and assets, as the case may be, shall, as a part of such
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, comply with the conditions
set forth in Article 10.
(c) To the extent any payment of Senior Debt (whether by or on
behalf of any Guarantor, as proceeds of security or
enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is declared
to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be
paid to any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating
trustee, agent or other similar Person under any bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership, fraudulent conveyance or similar
law, then if such payment is recovered by, or paid over to,
such receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee,
agent or other similar Person, the Senior Debt or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be deemed
to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not
occurred.
SECTION 10.3 No Payment When Designated Senior Debt in Default.
In the event that any Senior Payment Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, then no Guarantee Payment whether by setoff, exercising
contractual or statutory rights or otherwise and whether in the form of cash,
stock or property or otherwise shall be made, unless and until such Senior
Payment Default shall have been cured or waived in writing or shall have ceased
to exist or all amounts then due and payable in respect of such Designated
Senior Debt (including, without limitation, amounts that have become and remain
due by acceleration) shall have been paid in full in cash.
In the event that any Senior Nonmonetary Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, then, upon the receipt by such Guarantor of written notice of
such Senior Nonmonetary Default from the Administrative Agent to which such
Senior Nonmonetary Default relates or, if no loans or other amounts are then
outstanding under the Credit Facility or any renewal, extension or refunding
thereof, and the Credit Facility and any such renewal, extension or refunding
have been terminated, upon receipt of such notice by or on behalf of any other
holder or holders of Designated Senior Debt in an aggregate amount in excess of
$25,000,000, no Guarantee Payment shall be made whether by setoff, exercising
contractual or statutory rights or otherwise and whether in the form of cash,
stock or property or otherwise during the period (the "Guarantee Payment
Blockage Period") commencing on the date of such receipt by such Guarantor of
such written notice and ending on the earlier of (a) the date, if any, on which
the Designated Senior Debt to which such Senior Nonmonetary Default relates is
discharged or such Senior Nonmonetary Default shall have been cured or waived in
writing or shall have ceased to exist and any acceleration of Designated Senior
Debt to which such Senior Nonmonetary Default relates shall have been rescinded
or annulled and (b) the 179th day after the date of receipt of such written
notice. No more than one Guarantee Payment Blockage Period may be commenced
with respect to the Series E Notes during any period of 360 consecutive days and
there shall be a period of at least 181 consecutive days in each period of 360
consecutive days when no Guarantee Payment Blockage Period is in effect.
Following the commencement of any Guarantee Payment Blockage Period, the holders
of Designated Senior Debt shall be precluded from commencing a subsequent
Guarantee Payment Blockage Period
48
<PAGE>
until the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence shall have been
satisfied. For all purposes of this paragraph, no Senior Nonmonetary Default
that existed and was continuing on the date of commencement of any Guarantee
Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Debt initiating
such Guarantee Payment Blockage Period shall be, or may be made, the basis for
the commencement of a subsequent Guarantee Payment Blockage Period by any holder
of Designated Senior Debt or any representative or trustee under any indenture
under which any such Designated Senior Debt may have been issued unless such
Senior Nonmonetary Default shall have been cured for a period of not less than
90 consecutive days.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantor shall
make any Guarantee Payment to any Holder prohibited by the foregoing provisions
of this Section 10.03, then in such event such Guarantee Payment shall be held
in trust and paid over and delivered forthwith to the representatives or trustee
under any indenture under which any such Designated Senior Debt may have been
issued ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of
the Designated Senior Debt held or represented by under the Designated Senior
Debt or, if there is no such representative or trustee with respect to such
Designated Senior Debt, to the holders of such Designated Senior Debt.
The provisions of this Section 10.03 shall not apply to any Guarantee
Payment with respect to which Section 10.02 hereof would be applicable.
SECTION 10.4 Acceleration of Series E Notes.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (other
than an Event of Default pursuant to paragraphs (ix) and (x) of Section 6.01 of
the Indenture), the Trustee shall give the holders of the Designated Senior Debt
not less than 30 days prior written notice before accelerating the Series E
Notes (which notice shall state it is a "Notice of Intent to Accelerate") and
before demanding payment from any Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee. Upon such
declaration, the holders of Designated Senior Debt outstanding at the time the
Series E Notes so becomes due and payable shall be entitled to receive payment
in full in cash, cash equivalents or, as acceptable to the holders of the
Designated Senior Debt, in any other manner on all amounts due or to become due
on or in respect of such Designated Senior Debt, before any Guarantor may make,
and before any Holder of the Series E Notes is entitled to receive, any payment
or distribution of assets of any Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in
cash, securities or other property on account of any principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on the Series E Notes. All payments in respect of the
Subordinated Debt postponed under this Section 10.04 shall be immediately due
and payable upon the termination of such postponement; the remittance in full of
such payments by any Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the this
Supplemental Indenture and the acceptance thereof by the Holders of the Series E
Notes shall be deemed to constitute a cure by the Guarantor and a waiver by the
Holders of the Series E Notes of any Event of Default that existed immediately
prior to such remittance and acceptance to the extent that such Event of Default
existed solely as a consequence of the previous non-payment of such postponed
payments during such period of postponement.
SECTION 10.5 Payments Permitted If No Default
49
<PAGE>
Nothing contained in this Article 10 or elsewhere in this Supplemental
Indenture or in any of the Series E Notes shall prevent any Guarantor, at any
time except during the pendency of any Proceeding referred to Section 10.02 or
under the conditions described in Section 10.03, from making Guarantee Payments
in accordance with the terms of this Supplemental Indenture, or from depositing
with the Trustee any moneys for such Guarantee Payments, or the application by
the Trustee of any moneys deposited with it for the purpose of making payments
of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series E Notes in
accordance with the terms of this Supplemental Indenture. Nothing in this
Article 10 shall have any effect on the right of the Trustee (on behalf of the
Holders) or the Holders to accelerate the maturity of the Series E Notes upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, but, in that event, no payment may be
made in violation of the provisions of this Article 10 with respect to the
Series E Notes. If payment of the Series E Notes is accelerated because of an
Event of Default, the Guarantors shall promptly notify the holders of the Senior
Debt (or their representatives) of such acceleration.
SECTION 10.6 Obligations of Guarantors Unconditional.
Nothing contained in this Article 10 or elsewhere in this Supplemental
Indenture or in the Series E Notes is intended to or shall impair, as among the
Guarantors and the Holders of the Series E Notes, the obligation of each
Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the
Series E Notes the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series E
Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the
terms of the Guarantee, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of
the Holders of the Series E Notes and creditors of any Guarantor other than the
holders of the Senior Debt, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent any
Holder or the Trustee on their behalf from exercising all remedies otherwise
permitted by applicable law upon default under this Supplemental Indenture,
subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 10 of the holders of the
Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or securities of any Guarantor received
upon the exercise of any such remedy.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained in
this Article 10 shall restrict the right of the Trustee or the Holders of the
Series E Notes of the Series E Notes to take any action to declare the Series E
Notes to be due and payable prior to their stated maturity pursuant to Section
5.01 or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder; provided, however, that all
Senior Debt then due and payable shall first be paid in full before the Holders
or the Trustee are entitled to receive any direct or indirect payment from such
Guarantor of principal of or interest on the Series E Notes pursuant to such
Guarantor's Guarantee.
SECTION 10.7 Subrogation To Rights of Holders of Senior Debt.
Subject to the payment in full in cash or cash equivalents, or as
acceptable to the holders of Senior Debt, in any other manner, of all Senior
Debt, the Trustee and the Holders of the Series E Notes shall be subrogated to
the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments and
distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior Debt
until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series E Notes
shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or
distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of any cash, property or
securities to which the Trustee and the Holders of the Series E Notes would
50
<PAGE>
be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 10, and no payments
pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10 to the holders of Senior Debt by
Holders of the Series E Notes, shall, as among any Guarantor, its creditors
other than holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of the Series E Notes, be
deemed to be a payment or distribution by such Guarantor to or on account of the
Senior Debt.
SECTION 10.8 Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.
The provisions of this Article 10 are and are intended solely for the
purpose of defining the relative rights of the Trustee and the Holders of the
Series E Notes on the one hand and the holders of Senior Debt on the other hand.
Nothing contained in this Article 10 or elsewhere in this Supplemental Indenture
or in the Series E Notes or in any Guarantee is intended to or shall (a) impair,
as among the Guarantors, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt and the
Trustee and the Holders of the Series E Notes, the obligation of each Guarantor,
which is absolute and unconditional (and which, subject to the rights under this
Article 10 of the holders of Senior Debt, is intended to rank equally with all
other general obligations of such Guarantor), to pay to the Trustee for the
Holders of the Series E Notes the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Series E Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with the terms of each Guarantor's Guarantee; (b) affect the relative
rights against any Guarantor of the Trustee, the Holders of the Series E Notes
and the creditors of such Guarantor other than the holders of Senior Debt; or
(c) prevent the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or any Holder of any Series E
Note from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon
default under this Supplemental Indenture, subject to this Article 10, including
the rights, if any, under this Article 10 of the holders of Senior Debt to
receive cash, property or and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to
such holder or, under the conditions specified in Section 10.03, to prevent any
payment prohibited by such section or enforce their rights pursuant to the
penultimate paragraph in Article 10.
SECTION 10.9 No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.
No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce
subordination as provided herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or
impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Guarantor or by any act
or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by
any Guarantor with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Supplemental
Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have
or otherwise be charged with.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph,
the holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the
consent of or notice to the Holders of the Series E Notes, without incurring
responsibility to the Holders of the Series E Notes and without impairing or
releasing the subordination provided in this Article 10 or the obligations
hereunder of the Trustee or Holders of the Series E Notes to the holders of
Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: (a) change the manner, place
or terms of payment or
51
<PAGE>
extend the time of payment of, or renew, refinance or alter, any Senior Debt, or
otherwise amend or supplement in any manner any Senior Debt or any instrument
evidencing the same or any agreement under which such Senior Debt is
outstanding; (b) permit any Guarantor to borrow, repay and then reborrow any or
all the Senior Debt; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any
property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt; (d) release any
Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Debt; (e) exercise or
refrain from exercising any rights against any Guarantor and any other Person;
and (f) apply any sums received by such holders to Senior Debt.
SECTION 10.10 Reliance On Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating
Agent.
Upon any payment or distribution of assets of any Guarantor referred
to in this Article 10, the Trustee and the Holders of the Series E Notes shall
be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent
jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the
receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidation trustee, custodian, assignee for
the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or
distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders for the purpose of
ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt, the amount thereof or payable
thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts
pertinent thereto or to this Article 10; provided that the foregoing shall apply
only if such court has been apprised of the provisions of this Article 10.
SECTION 10.11 Notice to Trustee.
The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
fact known to the Company or such Guarantor which would prohibit the making of
any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Series E Notes pursuant to
the provisions of this Article 10. Failure to give such notice to the Trustee
shall not affect the subordination of the Series E Notes to Senior Debt. The
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any default or
event of default with respect to any Senior Debt or of any other facts which
would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee unless and until
the Trustee shall have received notice in writing to that effect signed by an
officer of the Company, or by a holder of any Senior Debt or trustee or agent
therefor; and prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee
shall, subject to Article 7 of the Indenture, be entitled to assume that no such
facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the
notice provided for in this Section 10.10 at least three Business Days prior to
the date upon which by the terms of this Supplemental Indenture any moneys shall
become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of
the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Series E Note), then,
regardless of anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall have full power
and authority to receive any moneys from any Guarantor and to apply the same to
the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such prior date.
Nothing contained in this Section 10.10 shall limit the right of the holders of
Senior Debt to recover payments as contemplated by Article 10. The Trustee
shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person
representing himself or itself to be a holder of any Senior Debt (or a trustee
on behalf of, or other representative of, such holder) to
52
<PAGE>
establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Debt or a
trustee or representative on behalf of any such holder.
In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that any
evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of any
Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this
Article 10, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Debt held
by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in
such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such
Person under this Article 10, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee
may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the
right of such Person to receive such payment.
SECTION 10.12 Trustee's Relation to Senior Debt.
The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this
Article 10 with respect to any Senior Debt which may at any time be held by it
in its individual or any other capacity to the same extent as any other holder
of such Senior Debt, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of
any of its rights as such holder.
With respect to the holders of any Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes
to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Article 10, and no implied covenants or
obligations with respect to the holders of such Senior Debt shall be read into
this Supplemental Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be
deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of any Senior Debt (except as
provided in Section 10.02(b)). The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge
of the existence of any Senior Debt or of any facts that would prohibit any
payment hereunder unless the Trustee shall have received written notice to that
effect at the address of the Trustee set forth in Section 11.01 of the
Indenture.
SECTION 10.13 Series E Note Holders Authorize Trustee to Effectuate
Subordination.
Each Holder of Series E Notes by its acceptance of such Series E Notes
authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action
as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in
this Article 10, and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such
purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation
or reorganization of any Guarantor (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for
the benefit of creditors or otherwise) tending towards liquidation of the
business and assets of such Guarantor, the filing of a claim for the unpaid
balance of its Series E Notes in the form required in those proceedings.
SECTION 10.14 This Article Not to Prevent Event of Default.
The failure to make a payment on account of principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on the Series E Notes by reason of any provision of this
Article 10 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of
Default specified in Section 6.01(i), (ii) or (iii) of the Indenture.
53
<PAGE>
SECTION 10.15 Trustee's Compensation Not Prejudiced.
Nothing in this Article 10 shall apply to amounts due to the Trustee
pursuant to other sections in this Supplemental Indenture or in the Indenture.
54
<PAGE>
SECTION 10.16 Subordination Provisions Not Applicable to Money Held
in Trust for Holders of Series E Notes; Payments May Be Paid prior to
Dissolution.
All money and United States Government Securities deposited in trust
with the Trustee pursuant to and in accordance with Article 8 of the Indenture
of the Indenture shall be for the sole benefit of the Holders of the Series E
Notes and shall not be subject to this Article 10.
Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Supplemental
Indenture shall prevent (i) the Company, except under the conditions described
in Section 10.03, from making payments of principal of and interest on the
Series E Notes, or from depositing with the Trustee any moneys for such payments
or from effecting a termination of the Guarantors' obligations under the Series
E Notes and this Supplemental Indenture as provided in Article 8 of the
Indenture, or (ii) the application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with
it for the purposed of making such payments of principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on the Series E Notes, to the Holders entitled thereto unless at
least three Business Days prior to the date upon which such payment becomes due
and payable, the Trustee shall have received the written notice provided for in
Section 10.11.

CONFIDENTIAL - FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
-------------------------------------------
AT&T WIRELESS/VENTO AND SULLIVAN
F Block Joint Ventures
Summary of Principal Terms
General
Parties AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. and/or one or more affiliates
("AT&T"), each of the entities (each, a "License Entity") that
owns one or more of the F Block licenses referred to below,
Thomas Sullivan and Gerald Vento (the "Management Group"),
TeleCorp PCS, Inc. ("TeleCorp"), the TeleCorp Cash Equity
Investors (the "TeleCorp Investors"), and the non-Management
Group equity holders in the License Entities (the "Non-Management
Equity Holders").
Structure Each of the Houston, San Diego, Melbourne - Titusville, Orlando
and Tampa - St. Petersburg - Clearwater F Block licenses (each,
an "F Block License") are held by a separate entity (each, a
"License Entity" and collectively the "License Entities"). Each
of the five entities will be independent of each other, but will
have substantially identical ownership and governance, as set
forth below.
Acquisition of San Diego License and Non-Management Equity Holders'
Interests/Puerto Rico Transaction
AT&T Loan AT&T makes a loan (the "AT&T Loan") to the Management Group in an
amount equal to 100% of the cash required to pay the purchase
price of the San Diego F Block License, plus the aggregate amount
of legal fees and other expenses (approximately $225,000)
TeleCorp incurred directly related to such acquisition. The
Management Group will secure the AT&T Loan with a pledge of all
of the capital stock of the San Diego License Entity.
<PAGE>
CONFIDENTIAL - FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
-------------------------------------------
Capitalization
of the San Diego
License Entity Concurrently with the consummation of the AT&T Loan, the
Management Group will contribute to the capital of the San
Diego License Entity all the proceeds of such loan.
Use of AT&T
Loan Proceeds Concurrently with the capitalization of the San Diego License
Entity, the San Diego License Entity will use the Management
Group capital contribution to pay the purchase price of the
San Diego F Block License and related expenses.
Exchange of Note
for Interests Concurrently with the closing of the acquisition by TeleCorp of
AT&T's PCS license covering Puerto Rico, TeleCorp will acquire
100% of the Non-Management Equity Holders' equity interests in
the License Entities (the "Non-Management Equity Interests") in
exchange for TeleCorp promissory notes in the aggregate
principal amount, in the case of each of the F Block Licenses,
set forth on Schedule A, or approximately $26 million in the
aggregate (the "Non-Management Equity Interests Purchase
Price"). The TeleCorp notes will be of the same tenor as those
being issued to AT&T in partial consideration for AT&T's Puerto
Rico PCS license.
TeleCorp Notes The principal terms of the TeleCorp notes are:
-- Initial interest rate, equivalent to Lucent Series C, 12%
per annum
-- Hold period: October 31, 1999
-- Interest rate after hold period: 7%
-- Convert (if the holder is AT&T, to Series A Preferred, or
Series D and F Preferred, at AT&T's option, or if the holder is
an Investor, to Series C Preferred and Series A Common) at a
price of 20% premium to par or $1,200/unit
-- Senior to Lucent Series C on maturity, redemption priority
and repayment
-- Mandatory repayment or conversion on qualifying IPO or high
yield offering
-- Other terms equivalent to Lucent Series C, except conversion
rights are forfeited on transfer
66
<PAGE>
CONFIDENTIAL - FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
-------------------------------------------
Sale of Interests
to License Entity Concurrently with the exchange referred to in the "Exchange
of Notes for Interests" section, TeleCorp will assign to
each License Entity (other than San Diego License Entity)
the applicable Non-Management Equity Interests (i.e., the
interests TeleCorp has acquired in the Houston License
Entity will be assigned to Houston License Entity, etc.).
In consideration therefor, each License Entity (other than
San Diego License Entity) will issue to TeleCorp promissory
notes (the "JV Notes"), on terms reasonably acceptable to
AT&T, in the aggregate principal amount, in the case of
each License Entity, set forth on Schedule A, or
approximately $26 million in the aggregate.
Puerto Rico
Consideration As a portion of the consideration payable by TeleCorp to
AT&T for the Puerto Rico license, TeleCorp will deliver to
AT&T the JV Notes.
Timing The closing of the AT&T Loan and the Management Group
capital contribution to the San Diego License Entity will
occur concurrently with the acquisition of the San Diego F
Block License by the San Diego License Entity, and is not
conditioned on the consummation of the Puerto Rico
acquisition and the transactions described herein (but see
"Alternative Arrangement" below). The closing of the Puerto
Rico acquisition and the exchanges described above
involving the Non-Management Equity Interests, the TeleCorp
notes and the JV Notes will all occur concurrently with the
closing of the joint venture contributions described in
this term sheet.
Alternative
Arrangements Anything in this Term Sheet to the contrary
notwithstanding, at any time on or before the closing of
the Puerto Rico transaction, AT&T shall have the right to
restructure the Transactions by (a) canceling the
transactions set forth in "Exchange of Notes for Interests"
and "Sale of Interests to License Entity," and (b) revising
the "Puerto Rico Consideration" by eliminating the JV
Notes, and increasing the amount of the TeleCorp Notes to
$36 million.
67
<PAGE>
CONFIDENTIAL - FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
-------------------------------------------
In the event that the Puerto Rico transaction is not
restructured as set forth in the immediately preceding
paragraph and fails to close, (a) AT&T will lend to the
License Entities an amount equal to the Non-Management
Equity Interests Purchase Price in exchange for the JV
notes, (b) the License Entities will acquire for cash, and
the Non-Management Equity Holders will sell to the License
Entities, the Non-Management Equity Interests.
License Entity Capitalization and Management Structure
Capitalization There will be two classes of interests in the License
Entities: voting (which have no economic rights) and non-
voting (which represent all of the economic interests in the
License Entities) The Management Group shall have 75% of the
voting interests and 51% of the non-voting interests of each
License Entity, and AT&T shall have 25% of the voting
interests, and 49% of the non-voting interests of each
License Entity.
Board AT&T will have the right to designate two directors, and
each member of the Management Group will be a director. The
Management Group (or its successor) will have the right to
designate one additional director, provided such third
director is independent of the Management Group and
reasonably acceptable to AT&T. The initial members of the
Board will be mutually agreed upon.
Voting Rights A list of significant matters will require an 80%
supermajority approval by the Board of License Entity (this
list will include, but not be limited to, all matters for
which TeleCorp requires a supermajority approval).
Management Fee In consideration of their services, the Management Group
will be paid an annual fee equal to $150,000 (prorated for
any partial year) in the aggregate for all License Entities
(irrespective of the number of License Entities, and to be
divided among the License Entities in a mutually acceptable
manner).
Replacement of
Management
68
<PAGE>
CONFIDENTIAL - FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
-------------------------------------------
Group In the event that agreed upon performance benchmarks or
other objective requirements are not satisfied (such
benchmarks and or requirements to be reasonably acceptable
to AT&T), the Management Group will be required to assign to
substitute control group, reasonably acceptable to a
majority of the License Entity directors (excluding the
members of the Management Group), all of the Management
Group's voting interests. In the event of replacement, the
Management Group will, at AT&T's option, either retain its
non-voting stock, transfer that stock to its replacement for
either cash in an amount equal to the then current value of
its put (discussed below) and/or an instrument with the same
economic features as the put (so that the Management Group's
return will not be worsened as the result of such transfer).
AT&T Assistance AT&T agrees to, at the request of the Board, negotiate in
good faith a management agreement pursuant to which AT&T
would build and manage a system that satisfied the
applicable FCC license requirements.
Funding At the request of the Board, AT&T agrees to fund, on terms
acceptable to it, the operating expenses of the License
Entity (including without limitation the Management Put, the
build out costs described in the immediately preceding
paragraph, the management fees, and the interest on the FCC
debt).
AT&T Liquidity Anything to the contrary in the AT&T Loan notwithstanding,
the Management Group agrees that if at any time AT&T
requests repayment of the AT&T Loan and/or the JV notes, the
Management Group will use its best efforts to take all
commercially reasonable steps to raise funds to do so.
69
Right of First
Negotiation In order to induce AT&T to extend the AT&T Loan, and in
consideration of the JV Notes and the commitments AT&T has
made to the License Entities hereunder, the Management Group
hereby agrees with AT&T that it will in good faith negotiate
with AT&T a mutually acceptable transaction (an "F Block
Transaction") relating to the F Block Licenses, and, until
both parties agree in writing that they are no longer
interested in entering into an F Block Transaction, the
Management group will not enter into an agreement or
arrangement with any person or entity relating to any
alliance, sale or other transaction involving the F Block PCS
Licenses, or solicit, initiate or engage in any discussion
with respect to any such licenses.
Indemnification Each License Entity will provide customary indemnification
for its directors and officers (including the Management
Group), including without limitation indemnifying them
against director liability arising from AT&T's failure to
fund License Entity's capital requirements (provided the
Management Group and AT&T agree on acceptable terms for such
funding) and AT&T's provision of management services. AT&T
will assure performance by License Entity of its
indemnification obligations.
Management Put The Management Group will have the right to put to AT&T its
interest in each License Entity for a sum of cash equal to,
for each License Entity, the amount set forth on Schedule B
($[4] million in the aggregate), plus 6% per annum (and,
during the period, if any, following replacement of the
Management Group, 10% per annum), compounded annually. The
put will be exercisable (in whole but not in part) only
during the one-year period following the earliest date that
exercise of the put would not violate FCC rules or trigger
any penalties (the Management Group shall receive written
notice of this date), provided that to the extent permitted
by FCC rules without triggering any penalty, each member of
the Management Group may put $400,000 of its F Block Tracking
Interests during the one-year period commencing December 31,
1999 (at AT&T's option, it may fund the redemption of the
Management Group's interest, in lieu of the put).

Exhibit 10.12
December 21, 1998
Mr. Tom Sullivan
Executive Vice President
Telecorp Communications, Inc.
1101 17/th/ Street, Suite 900
Washington, DC 20036
Letter of Agreement
Dear Tom:
This Letter of Agreement ("LOA") serves to identify the terms by which AT&T
Wireless Services, Inc. ("AWS") will arrange to purchase interstate and
intrastate long distance voice and/or data services (the "Services") from AT&T
Carrier Markets ("Carrier Markets") for the shared use of Telecorp
Communications, Inc. ("Carrier") and other Affiliated Markets as such term is
defined below. If you are in agreement with the terms described herein, please
sign below.
Sharing Arrangement
In exchange for making certain volume commitments to Carrier Markets, AWS has
negotiated the right to purchase the Services at the rates specified in LOA
Attachments 1 and 2, respectively, so that Affiliated Markets can share the use
of these Services at such rates. By sharing the Services, with AWS as the
intermediary enabling such sharing, the Affiliated Markets can efficiently
obtain the Services at the best possible terms and conditions. For the Services
they purchase under this LOA, Affiliated Markets will pay the rates that AWS
pays to Carrier Markets for such services, as specified in LOA Attachments 1 and
2. AWS does not mark up the charges for the Services or receive any type of
commission or fee.
Affiliated Market Status
This sharing arrangement is for the benefit of Affiliated Markets, and Carrier's
eligibility to purchase the Services under this LOA is contingent upon Carrier
maintaining its status as an Affiliated Market. An Affiliated Market means any
facilities-based company that: (a) is controlled by AWS; (b) is an entity in
which AWS has at least fifty percent (50%) voting interest; (c) shares switching
facilities with AWS; (d) is managed by AWS; (e) has purchased a portion of CMRS
spectrum from AWS in which AWS maintains an ownership interest; or (f) is a
party to an agreement providing for the interoperability of Carrier's system and
AWS' system as each is operated in accordance with the IS-136 or
AT&T PROPRIETARY
<PAGE>
Letter of Agreement
December 21, 1998
Page 2 of 6
successor standard. The terms and conditions identified in this LOA will
terminate no later than three (3) months after the cessation of Carrier as an
Affiliated Market or immediately upon termination of AWS' contract with Carrier
Markets. AWS agrees it will endeavor to provide Carrier with a minimum of three
(3) months notice of such termination. In addition, AWS may terminate this LOA
upon any breach by Carrier of the AT&T Wireless Services Network Membership
License Agreement between AT&T Corp. and Telecorp PCS, Inc. dated as of July 17,
1998 which breach is not cured in accordance with the provisions of such
agreement.
Provision of Service and Rates
Carrier may order any of the Services described in LOA Attachments 1 and 2 and
AWS will provide those Services to Carrier pursuant to this LOA. Carrier agrees
to pay all recurring and nonrecurring charges for the Services it orders as
specified in LOA Attachments 1 and 2. (Carrier will need to contact appropriate
personnel at Carrier Markets with specific information to determine pricing for
certain data elements.) Please note that volume and minimum revenue commitments
between AWS and Carrier Markets in LOA Attachments 1 and 2 are confidential and
have been blacked out.
Taxes and Surcharges
Carrier shall pay any applicable local, state, federal, public utilities, gross
receipts or other taxes, surcharges, assessments, recoveries or fees imposed on
AWS, Carrier Markets or Carrier as a result of the sale, installation, use or
provision of the Services described in this LOA, except to the extent customer
provides a valid tax exemption certificate to AT&T prior to the delivery of
Services and except for taxes based on AWS' or Carrier Markets' net income.
Consistent with FCC rules, because Carrier is not an end user, Carrier Markets
will not impose any Federal Universal Service Fund surcharges on the Services.
However, if the FCC changes its rules in this regard, Carrier Markets will
adjust its imposition of surcharges accordingly.
Volume Commitment
Carrier agrees to the Minimum Traffic Volume Commitment(s) as specified in LOA
Attachment 3. AWS and Carrier agree that the Minimum Traffic Volume
Commitment(s) will be adjusted a minimum of once each calendar year at the time
specified by AWS. Such Minimum Traffic Volume Commitment(s) may be adjusted
more frequently upon mutual agreement between AWS and Carrier. During the first
calendar year, the Minimum Traffic Volume Commitment for Carrier shall be as
specified by Carrier at its sole discretion. Following the first calendar year,
the Minimum Traffic Volume Commitment for Carrier may be increased any amount or
may be decreased by any amount up to ten percent (10%) at Carriers' sole
discretion. If Carrier
AT&T PROPRIETARY
<PAGE>
Letter of Agreement
December 21, 1998
Page 3 of 6
proposes to reduce the Minimum Traffic Volume Commitments by more than ten
percent (10%), it may do so only with AWS' permission.
If Carrier fails to meet any minimum traffic volumes, Carrier will pay a
Shortfall Charge equal to the difference between the charges for the Minimum
Traffic Volume Commitment and the amount of eligible charges for that Minimum
Traffic Volume Commitment incurred during the commitment period. The Shortfall
Charge will be calculated as follows for voice traffic: the difference between
Carrier's Minimum Voice Traffic Volume Commitment (in terms of Minutes of Use)
and the actual voice traffic volume will be multiplied by $0.0360. The
Shortfall Charge will be calculated as follows for data traffic: 1) the
difference between Carrier's Minimum Data DS I Volume Commitment (in terms of
the number of DS Is) and the actual DS I volume will be multiplied by $1,121; 2)
the difference between Carrier's Minimum Data DS') Volume Commitment (in terms
of the number of DS3s) and the actual DS3 volume will be multiplied by $7,227;
3) Carrier will be charged the difference between Carrier's Minimum Frame Relay
Commitment (in terms of dollars per month) and the average of Carrier's actual
Frame Relay monthly charges. AWS will use the Shortfall Charge it collects from
Carrier to pay any Shortfall Charges AWS is obligated to pay Carrier Markets.
If the Shortfall Charges that AWS collects from all of the Affiliated Markets
participating in the sharing arrangement exceed the amount of the shortfall
charge that AWS must pay Carrier Markets, AWS will refund to Carrier its pro
rata share of the overage.
Carrier is not obligated to meet that portion of their Minimum Data Volume
Commitment for which Carrier Markets is unable to deliver service within a
reasonable time frame. A reasonable time frame for delivery of baseline service
(POP, or point-of-presence, to POP) is defined as approximately fourteen (14)
business days for DS1s and twenty-five (25) business days for DS3s. The
reasonable time frame for delivery of DS1s and DS3s may be extended if the Local
Exchange Carrier requires a longer installation interval. A reasonable time
frame for the delivery of Frame Relay is defined as approximately thirty-five
(35) calendar days. Please note that Carrier must provide accurate tie-down
information and a "firm order" must be placed in the Carrier Markets
provisioning system before the time frames identified above become valid.
As applicable, Carrier agrees to provide a fifteen (15) month voice traffic
volume forecast document to AWS on a quarterly basis for use in network
planning. AWS will provide Carrier with the format for the traffic volume
forecast document.

Rate Review
At the initiation of Carrier, not more than one time within any twelve (12)
month period, the parties agree to review the rates for the Services described
in this LOA. If Carrier wishes to adjust the rates, Carrier must provide
evidence to AWS that substantially lower rates are offered by other
interexchange providers for Services that are comparable in quality and have
comparable minimum volume and duration requirements. Upon receipt of such
evidence AWS will use good faith efforts to work with Carrier to adjust the
rates, if appropriate, in order to ensure that such rates are reasonably
competitive.
Billing
Carrier will be billed monthly for the Services it purchases from AWS. Payment
is due upon presentation of a bill, and must be received no later than thirty
(30) days after the bill date. For voice services, the bill date is the day
after the end of the usage period covered by the bill; for data services, the
bill date is the first day of the service period covered by the bill. Any
charges not paid within such a period will be considered past due. Interest
charges may be added to any past due amounts at the lower of twelve percent
(12.0%) per year or the maximum rate allowed by law.
If Carrier wishes to dispute a charge-on a bill, Carrier must identify the
amount of the disputed charge and provide a full written explanation of the
basis for the dispute within ninety (90) days after the bill date. A pending
billing dispute does not relieve Carrier of the obligation to pay the disputed
charge.
Marks
Nothing in this LOA creates in Carrier any rights in the AT&T or AWS'
tradenames, trademarks, service marks or any other intellectual property of AT&T
or AWS.
Account Team Support
Carrier will be supported directly by a Carrier Markets account team consisting
of a sales manager, voice and/or data account executives, as well as technical
and customer care support. All orders should be placed directly with the
Carrier Markets account team and all issues and concerns regarding Services
contracted for under this LOA should be addressed directly with such account
team members.
CMRS
The Services that AWS purchases from Carrier Markets for Carrier under this LOA
are provided to Carrier solely for Carrier's provision of the Services to its
commercial mobile radio services ("CMRS") customers, for calls that originate on
Carrier's CMRS system and those CMRS systems that share Carrier's switches, and
not for any other purpose.

Compliance with Master Carrier Agreement
Carrier agrees to comply with the obligations imposed on Customer and its End
Users as set forth in Paragraphs 9 through 14 and 16 through 35 of the attached
Master Carrier Agreements (LOA Attachments I and 2 and the attachments thereto),
and to afford AWS the same rights and protections afforded to AT&T thereunder.
AWS and Carrier Markets will afford Carrier the rights and protections, if any,
afforded to Customer and its End Users under Paragraphs 9 through 14 and 16
through 35 of the attached Master Carrier Agreements (LOA Attachments 1 and 2
and the attachments thereto).
Confidentiality
All information contained in this LOA and its Attachments is considered
confidential and is governed by the confidentiality agreement(s) in place
between AWS and Carrier, together with the Confidentiality provision in
Paragraph 20 of the attached Master Carrier Agreements (LOA Attachments 1 and
2).
Term
The Term of this LOA runs concurrently with the Terms of the long distance data
services and long distance voice services Master Carrier Agreements (LOA
Attachments 1 and 2 and the attachments thereto). These Terms are approximately
36 months from the first day of the first full billing month of the first
service provided to the first Affiliated Market under each of the respective
Master Carrier Agreements. Accordingly, the Term of this LOA for Carrier may be
shorter than 36 months.
Specifically, the long distance voice services Master Carrier Agreement (LOA
Attachment 1 and the attachments thereto) provides that:
"The Term of this Attachment consists of a Ramp-Up Period of 6
months and a Full Service Period of 36 months. The Ramp-Up Period
begins on the first full billing month for the first service
provided under this Attachment. For each service provided under
this Attachment, the Full Service Period begins on the day after
the Ramp-Up Period ends, which day is referred to as the Term
Start Date."
Specifically, the long distance data services Master Carrier Agreement (LOA
Attachment 2 and the attachments thereto) provides that:
"The Term of this Attachment is 36 months. For each service
provided under this Attachment, the Term begins on the first day
of the first full billing month for the first service provided
under this Attachment, which day is referred to as the Customer's
Initial Service Date (CISD). Different Services may have
different billing cycles, and so the billing months may
AT&T PROPRIETARY
<PAGE>
Letter of Agreement
December 21, 1998
Page 6 of 6
be staggered. For each service, however, the Term will begin
within one month after the Term begins for the first service
provided under this Agreement."
If Carrier decides to terminate this LOA prior to the end of such Term, Carrier
will be liable for the Minimum Traffic Volume Commitment(s) made above through
the end of said Term.

Liabilities, and the transfer thereof by AT&T PCS to the Company, shall in no
way expand the rights or remedies of any third party against the Company (and,
if applicable, such Designated Purchasers) as compared to the rights and
remedies that such third party would have had against AT&T PCS had the Company
(and, if applicable, such Designated Purchasers) not assumed the Assumed
Liabilities. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the
assumption by the Company (and, if applicable, such Designated Purchasers) of
the Assumed Liabilities shall not create any third-party beneficiary rights.

disbursements of AT&T PCS's counsel in connection with (i) the preparation,

parties shall submit promptly the determination of such allocation to the
Independent Accountant who will be engaged by the parties to allocate the
Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets based upon their relative fair market
values as of the Closing Date. The determination of the Independent Accountant
shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto, and the fees and
expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by the parties.

dissatisfaction no later than 30 days after the date hereof, which written
notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the parcels as to which the Company

representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, or have any
indemnification obligation relating thereto, in respect of any matter of which
the Company acquires knowledge during the course of its environmental due
diligence investigation of the Purchased Assets. As used in this Section 4.10,
the term "knowledge" refers to actual and not constructive knowledge of the
Company.

VIII.4 Procedures.
----------
(a) The terms of this Section 8.4 shall apply to any claim (a "Claim")
-----
for indemnification under the terms of Sections 8.2 or 8.3. The Section 8.2
Indemnified Party or Section 8.3 Indemnified Party (each, an "Indemnified
-----------
Party"), as the case may be, shall give prompt written notice of such Claim to
- -----
the indemnifying party (the "Indemnifying Party") under the applicable Section,
------------------
which party may assume the defense thereof, provided, that any delay or failure
to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is materially
prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. The Indemnified Party shall have
the right to approve any counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and to
approve the terms of any proposed settlement, such approvals not to be
unreasonably delayed or withheld (unless, in the case of approval of a proposed
settlement, such settlement provides only, as to the Indemnified Party, the
payment of money damages actually paid by the Indemnifying Party and a complete
release of the Indemnified Party in respect of the claim in question).
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this
Article VIII shall not be construed so as to provide for the indemnification of
any Indemnified Party for any liability to the extent (but only to the extent)
that such indemnification would be in violation of applicable law or that such
liability may not be waived, modified or limited under applicable law, but shall
be construed so as to effectuate the provisions of this Article VIII to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense
of any Claim, the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party advised as
to all material developments in connection with such Claim, including promptly
furnishing the Indemnified Party with copies of all material documents filed or
served in connection therewith.
(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the
defense of any Claim within ten (10) business days after receiving written
notice thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, subject to the
Indemnifying Party's right to assume the defense pursuant to the provisions of
this Article VIII, to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such
Claim for the account of the Indemnifying Party. Unless and until the
Indemnified Party assumes the defense of any Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall
advance to the Indemnified Party any of its reasonable attorneys' fees and other
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any such action or
proceeding. Each Indemnified Party shall agree in writing prior to any such
advancement that, in the event he or it receives any such advance, such
Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for such fees, costs
and expenses to the extent that it shall be determined that he or it was not
entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII.
33
<PAGE>
(d) In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be required to pay in
connection with any Claim for more than one firm of counsel (and local counsel)
for each of the following groups of Indemnified Parties: (i) AT&T PCS, its
Affiliates, and the shareholders, members, managers, officers, employees, agents
and/or the legal representatives of any of them; and (ii) the Company and its
Affiliates, and the shareholders, members, managers, officers, employees, agents
and/or the legal representatives of any of them.

Schedule II
AT&T WIRELESS/VENTO AND SULLIVAN
F Block Joint Ventures
Summary of Principal Terms
--------------------------
General
- -------
Parties AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. and/or one or more affiliates
("AT&T"), each of the entities (each, a "License Entity") that
owns one or more of the F Block licenses referred to below,
Thomas Sullivan and Gerald Vento (the "Management Group"),
TeleCorp PCS, Inc. ("TeleCorp"), the TeleCorp Cash Equity
Investors (the "TeleCorp Investors"), and the non-Management
Group equity holders in the License Entities (the "Non-Management
Equity Holders").
Structure Each of the Houston, San Diego, Melbourne - Titusville, Orlando
and Tampa - St. Petersburg - Clearwater F Block licenses (each,
an "F Block License") are held by a separate entity (each, a
"License Entity" and collectively the "License Entities"). Each
of the five entities will be independent of each other, but will
have substantially identical ownership and governance, as set
forth below.
Acquisition of San Diego License and Non-Management Equity Holders'
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
Interests/Puerto Rico Transaction
- ---------------------------------
AT&T Loan AT&T makes a loan (the "AT&T Loan") to the Management Group in an
amount equal to 100% of the cash required to pay the purchase
price of the San Diego F Block License, plus the aggregate amount
of legal fees and other expenses (approximately $225,000)
TeleCorp incurred directly related to such acquisition. The
Management Group will secure the AT&T Loan with a pledge of all
of the capital stock of the San Diego License Entity.
<PAGE>
CONFIDENTIAL -- FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capitalization
of the San Diego
License Entity Concurrently with the consummation of the AT&T Loan, the
Management Group will contribute to the capital of the San
Diego License Entity all the proceeds of such loan.
Use of AT&T
Loan Proceeds Concurrently with the capitalization of the San Diego License
Entity, the San Diego License Entity will use the Management
Group capital contribution to pay the purchase price of the
San Diego F Block License and related expenses.
Exchange of Note
for Interests Concurrently with the closing of the acquisition by TeleCorp
of AT&T's PCS license covering Puerto Rico, TeleCorp will
acquire 100% of the Non-Management Equity Holders' equity
interests in the License Entities (the "Non-Management Equity
Interests") in exchange for TeleCorp promissory notes in the
aggregate principal amount, in the case of each of the F Block
Licenses, set forth on Schedule A, or approximately $26
million in the aggregate (the "Non-Management Equity Interests
Purchase Price"). The TeleCorp notes will be of the same tenor
as those being issued to AT&T in partial consideration for
AT&T's Puerto Rico PCS license.
TeleCorp Notes The principal terms of the TeleCorp notes are:
-- Initial interest rate, equivalent to Lucent Series C, 12%
per annum
-- Hold period: October 31, 1999
-- Interest rate after hold period: 7%
-- Convert (if the holder is AT&T, to Series A Preferred, or
Series D and F Preferred, at AT&T's option, or if the holder
is an Investor, to Series C Preferred and Series A Common) at
a price of 20% premium to par or $1,200/unit
-- Senior to Lucent Series C on maturity, redemption priority
and repayment
-- Mandatory repayment or conversion on qualifying IPO or high
yield offering
-- Other terms equivalent to Lucent Series C, except
conversion rights are forfeited on transfer

CONFIDENTIAL -- FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sale of Interests
to License Entity Concurrently with the exchange referred to in the "Exchange
of Notes for Interests" section, TeleCorp will assign to
each License Entity (other than San Diego License Entity)
the applicable Non-Management Equity Interests (i.e., the
interests TeleCorp has acquired in the Houston License
Entity will be assigned to Houston License Entity, etc.). In
consideration therefor, each License Entity (other than San
Diego License Entity) will issue to TeleCorp promissory
notes (the "JV Notes"), on terms reasonably acceptable to
AT&T, in the aggregate principal amount, in the case of each
License Entity, set forth on Schedule A, or approximately
$26 million in the aggregate.
Puerto Rico
Consideration As a portion of the consideration payable by TeleCorp to
AT&T for the Puerto Rico license, TeleCorp will deliver to
AT&T the JV Notes.
Timing The closing of the AT&T Loan and the Management Group
capital contribution to the San Diego License Entity will
occur concurrently with the acquisition of the San Diego F
Block License by the San Diego License Entity, and is not
conditioned on the consummation of the Puerto Rico
acquisition and the transactions described herein (but see
"Alternative Arrangement" below). The closing of the Puerto
Rico acquisition and the exchanges described above involving
the Non-Management Equity Interests, the TeleCorp notes and
the JV Notes will all occur concurrently with the closing of
the joint venture contributions described in this term
sheet.
Alternative
Arrangements Anything in this Term Sheet to the contrary notwithstanding,
at any time on or before the closing of the Puerto Rico
transaction, AT&T shall have the right to restructure the
Transactions by (a) canceling the transactions set forth in
"Exchange of Notes for Interests" and "Sale of Interests to
License Entity," and (b) revising the "Puerto Rico
Consideration" by eliminating the JV Notes, and increasing
the amount of the TeleCorp Notes to $36 million.
11
<PAGE>
CONFIDENTIAL -- FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the event that the Puerto Rico transaction is not
restructured as set forth in the immediately preceding
paragraph and fails to close, (a) AT&T will lend to the
License Entities an amount equal to the Non-Management
Equity Interests Purchase Price in exchange for the JV
notes, (b) the License Entities will acquire for cash, and
the Non-Management Equity Holders will sell to the License
Entities, the Non-Management Equity Interests.
License Entity Capitalization and Management Structure
- ------------------------------------------------------
Capitalization There will be two classes of interests in the License
Entities: voting (which have no economic rights) and non-
voting (which represent all of the economic interests in the
License Entities) The Management Group shall have 75% of the
voting interests and 51% of the non-voting interests of each
License Entity, and AT&T shall have 25% of the voting
interests, and 49% of the non-voting interests of each
License Entity.
Board AT&T will have the right to designate two directors, and
each member of the Management Group will be a director. The
Management Group (or its successor) will have the right to
designate one additional director, provided such third
director is independent of the Management Group and
reasonably acceptable to AT&T. The initial members of the
Board will be mutually agreed upon.
Voting Rights A list of significant matters will require an 80%
supermajority approval by the Board of License Entity (this
list will include, but not be limited to, all matters for
which TeleCorp requires a supermajority approval).
Management Fee In consideration of their services, the Management Group
will be paid an annual fee equal to $150,000 (prorated for
any partial year) in the aggregate for all License Entities
(irrespective of the number of License Entities, and to be
divided among the License Entities in a mutually acceptable
manner).
12

CONFIDENTIAL -- FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replacement of
Management
Group In the event that agreed upon performance benchmarks or
other objective requirements are not satisfied (such
benchmarks and or requirements to be reasonably acceptable
to AT&T), the Management Group will be required to assign to
substitute control group, reasonably acceptable to a
majority of the License Entity directors (excluding the
members of the Management Group), all of the Management
Group's voting interests. In the event of replacement, the
Management Group will, at AT&T's option, either retain its
non-voting stock, transfer that stock to its replacement for
either cash in an amount equal to the then current value of
its put (discussed below) and/or an instrument with the same
economic features as the put (so that the Management Group's
return will not be worsened as the result of such transfer).
AT&T Assistance AT&T agrees to, at the request of the Board, negotiate in
good faith a management agreement pursuant to which AT&T
would build and manage a system that satisfied the
applicable FCC license requirements.
Funding At the request of the Board, AT&T agrees to fund, on terms
acceptable to it, the operating expenses of the License
Entity (including without limitation the Management Put, the
build out costs described in the immediately preceding
paragraph, the management fees, and the interest on the FCC
debt).
AT&T Liquidity Anything to the contrary in the AT&T Loan notwithstanding,
the Management Group agrees that if at any time AT&T
requests repayment of the AT&T Loan and/or the JV notes, the
Management Group will use its best efforts to take all
commercially reasonable steps to raise funds to do so.
13
<PAGE>
CONFIDENTIAL -- FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right of First
Negotiation In order to induce AT&T to extend the AT&T Loan, and in
consideration of the JV Notes and the commitments AT&T has made
to the License Entities hereunder, the Management Group hereby
agrees with AT&T that it will in good faith negotiate with AT&T
a mutually acceptable transaction (an "F Block Transaction")
relating to the F Block Licenses, and, until both parties agree
in writing that they are no longer interested in entering into
an F Block Transaction, the Management group will not enter
into an agreement or arrangement with any person or entity
relating to any alliance, sale or other transaction involving
the F Block PCS Licenses, or solicit, initiate or engage in any
discussion with respect to any such licenses.
Indemnification Each License Entity will provide customary indemnification for
its directors and officers (including the Management Group),
including without limitation indemnifying them against director
liability arising from AT&T's failure to fund License Entity's
capital requirements (provided the Management Group and AT&T
agree on acceptable terms for such funding) and AT&T's
provision of management services. AT&T will assure performance
by License Entity of its indemnification obligations.
Management Put The Management Group will have the right to put to AT&T its
interest in each License Entity for a sum of cash equal to, for
each License Entity, the amount set forth on Schedule B ($[4]
million in the aggregate), plus 6% per annum (and, during the
period, if any, following replacement of the Management Group,
10% per annum), compounded annually. The put will be
exercisable (in whole but not in part) only during the one-year
period following the earliest date that exercise of the put
would not violate FCC rules or trigger any penalties (the
Management Group shall receive written notice of this date),
provided that to the extent permitted by FCC rules without
--------
triggering any penalty, each member of the Management Group may
put $400,000 of its F Block Tracking Interests during the one-
year period commencing December 31, 1999 (at AT&T's

option, it may fund the redemption of the Management Group's
interest, in lieu of the put).
Transfer
Restrictions The Management Group may not transfer, pledge or otherwise
dispose of all or any portion of its License Entity interests
prior to the ninth anniversary of the closing.

the parties for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty

-----------------------------
(including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, as fines
and penalties, and as counsel fees) (collectively, "Losses") incurred by him/her
------
or it in connection with the investigation, defense, or disposition of any
action, suit or other proceeding in which any Section 8.2 Indemnified Party may
be involved or with which he/she or it may be threatened (whether arising out of
or relating to matters asserted by third parties against a Section 8.2
Indemnified Party or incurred or sustained by such party in the absence of a
third-party claim), that arises out of or results from (a) any representation or
warranty of the Investor contained in this Agreement being untrue in any
material respect as of the date on which it was made or (b) any material default
by such indemnifying party or any of its Affiliates in the performance of their
respective obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent (but only to
the extent) any such Losses arise out of or result from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such
-16-
<PAGE>
Section 8.2 Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, provided, that the aggregate
liability of the Investor to indemnify Section 8.2 Indemnified Parties against

Affiliates in the performance of their respective obligations under this
Agreement shall (except, in the case of clause (y), to the extent (but only to
the extent) any such Losses arise out of or result from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Investor) be limited to $30,000,000; provided further,
that the Investor shall have the option of satisfying any such Losses incurred
by the Company (in its capacity as a Section 8.2 Indemnified Party) by tendering
to the Company shares of Series A Preferred Stock (such shares to be valued for
such purposes at the aggregate liquidation preference thereof).
8.3. Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify and hold
------------------------------
harmless the Investor and its Affiliates, directors, shareholders, officers,
employees, agents and/or the legal representatives of any of them (each, a
"Section 8.3 Indemnified Party"), against all Losses incurred by him/her or it
-----------------------------
in connection with the investigation, defense, or disposition of any action,
suit or other proceeding in which any Section 8.3 Indemnified Party may be
involved or with which he/she or it may be threatened (whether arising out of or
relating to matters asserted by third parties against a Section 8.3 Indemnified
Party or incurred or sustained by such party in the absence of a third-party
claim), that arises out of or results from (a) any representation or warranty of
the Company contained in this Agreement being untrue in any material respect as
of the date on which it was made or (b) any material default by the Company or
any of its Affiliates in the performance of their respective obligations under
this Agreement, except to the extent (but only to the extent) any such Losses
arise out of or result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Section 8.3 Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, provided, that the aggregate

Losses arising out of or resulting from (x) any such representation or warranty

willful misconduct of the Company) be limited to $30,000,000.
8.4. Procedures.
(a) The terms of this Section 8.4 shall apply to any claim (a
"Claim") for indemnification under the terms of Sections 8.2 or 8.3. The
-----
Section 8.2 Indemnified Party or Section 8.3 Indemnified Party (each, an
"Indemnified Party"), as the case may be, shall give prompt written notice of
-----------------
such Claim to the indemnifying party (the "Indemnifying Party") under the
------------------
applicable Section, which party may assume the defense thereof, provided that
any delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all,
that it is materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. The
Indemnified Party shall have the right to approve any counsel selected by the
-17-
<PAGE>
Indemnifying Party and to approve the terms of any proposed settlement, such
approval not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld (unless, in the case of
approval of a proposed settlement, such settlement provides only, as to the
Indemnified Party, the payment of money damages actually paid by the
Indemnifying Party and a complete release of the Indemnified Party in respect of
the claim in question). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary,
the provisions of this Article VIII shall not be construed so as to provide for
the indemnification of any Indemnified Party for any liability to the extent
(but only to the extent) that such indemnification would be in violation of
applicable law or that such liability may not be waived, modified or limited
under applicable law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate the provisions
of this Article VIII to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party undertakes the
defense of any Claim, the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party
advised as to all material developments in connection with such Claim,
including, but not limited to, promptly furnishing the Indemnified Party with
copies of all material documents filed or served in connection therewith.
(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the
defense of any Claim within ten business days after receiving written notice
thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, subject to the Indemnifying
Party's right to assume the defense pursuant to the provisions of this Article
VIII, to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim for the
account of the Indemnifying Party. Unless and until the Indemnified Party
assumes the defense of any Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall advance to the
Indemnified Party any of its reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any such action or
proceeding. Each Indemnified Party shall agree in writing prior to any such
advancement that, in the event he or it receives any such advance, such
Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for such fees, costs
and expenses to the extent that it shall be determined that he or it was not
entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII.
(d) In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be required to pay
in connection with any Claim for more than one firm of counsel (and local
counsel) for each of the following groups of Indemnified Parties: (i) the
Investor, its Affiliates, directors, shareholders, officers, employees, agents
and/or the legal representatives of any of them; and (ii) the Company, its
Affiliates, directors, shareholders, officers, employees, agents and/or the
legal representatives of any of them.
8.5. Registration Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
-------------------
Article VIII, the indemnification and contribution provisions set forth in
Sections 5(e) and 5(f) of the Stockholders' Agreement shall govern any claim
made with respect to the registration statements filed pursuant to Section 5 of
the Stockholders' Agreement or sales made thereunder.

---------------------------------
liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has the requisite power and
authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business
as now being conducted.
(b) It has the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform this Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement and each other instrument,
document, certificate and agreement required or contemplated to be executed,
delivered and performed by it hereunder and thereunder to which it is or will be
a party.
(c) It is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where
the character of its properties owned or held under lease or the nature of its
activities makes such qualification necessary other than any such jurisdiction
in which the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect
on it or materially adversely affect the Transactions or its ability to perform
its obligations under this Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement.
(d) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Stockholders
Agreement by it and the consummation of the Transactions by it have been duly
and validly authorized by its Board of Directors (or equivalent body) and no
other proceedings on its part which have not been taken (including, without
limitation, approval of its stockholders, partners or members) are necessary to
authorize this Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement or to consummate the
Transactions.
(e) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by it and
constitutes
<PAGE>
its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and may be subject to general principles of equity.
The Stockholders Agreement shall be duly executed and delivered by it at the
Closing and, upon such execution and delivery, shall constitute its valid and
binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except
as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or
other similar laws affecting or relating to enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and may be subject to general principles of equity.
(f) As of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the Transactions,
it is not in breach of any obligation under this Agreement or the Stockholders
Agreement.
4.2 Consents; No Conflicts. Neither the execution, delivery and
----------------------
performance by it of this Agreement or the Stockholders Agreement nor the
consummation of the Transactions will (a) conflict with, or result in a breach
or violation of, any provision of its organizational documents; (b) constitute,
with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, a breach,
violation or default, create a Lien, or give rise to any right of termination,
modification, cancellation, prepayment or acceleration, under (i) any Law or
License or (ii) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, agreement or other
instrument, in each case which is applicable to or binding upon it or any of its
assets; or (c) require any Consent, other than those set forth on Schedule 4.2
or the approval of its members, managers or similar constituent bodies, as the

such Consent would not have a Material Adverse Effect on it or materially
adversely affect the Transactions or its ability to perform its obligations
under this Agreement. To its knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule 4.2,
there is no fact relating to it or its Affiliates that would be reasonably
expected to prevent it from consummating the Transactions or performing its

obtaining the Consents (including without limitation, FCC Consent) required in
order to consummate the Mercury License Transfer as provided for in this
Agreement.

which seeks to prevent or challenge the Transactions.
4.4 FCC Compliance. It complies with all eligibility rules issued by
--------------
the FCC to hold broadband PCS licenses, including without limitation, FCC rules
on foreign ownership and the CMRS spectrum cap. The fact that it owns the
interest in the Company contemplated by this Agreement and the Stockholders
Agreement will not cause the Company or its wholly owned Subsidiaries to be
ineligible under FCC rules to hold PCS licenses in general or the licenses to be
held by the Company's wholly owned Subsidiaries.
<PAGE>
4.5 Brokers. It has not employed any broker, finder or investment
-------
banker or incurred any liability for any brokerage fees, commissions or finder's
fees in connection with the Transactions.
4.6 Mercury Licenses. It is the authorized legal holder, free and
----------------
clear of any Liens (other than Liens securing the indebtedness to be assumed by
the Company pursuant to Section 2.3), of the Mercury Licenses, true and correct
copies of which are attached to Schedule I. The Mercury Licenses are, and on the
Closing Date each of the Mercury Licenses will be, valid and in full force and
effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6 and for proceedings affecting the
PCS or wireless communications services industry generally, there is not
pending, nor to the knowledge of Mercury, threatened against Mercury or against
the Mercury Licenses, any application, action, petition, objection or other
pleading, or any proceeding with the FCC which questions or contests the
validity of, or seeks the revocation, nonrenewal or suspension of, any of the
Mercury Licenses, which seeks the imposition of any modification or amendment
with respect thereto, or which adversely effects the ability of the Company to
employ the Mercury Licenses in its business after the Closing Date or seeks the
payment of a fine, sanction, penalty, damages or contribution in connection with
the use of any Mercury License. The Mercury Licenses are not subject to any
conditions other than those appearing on the face of the Licenses themselves and
those imposed by FCC Law.
4.7 No Distribution. It is acquiring the Securities to be acquired
---------------
by it hereunder for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for sale
in connection with any distribution thereof (other than in compliance with the
Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws).
4.8 Investor Acknowledgments. (a) It is an "accredited investor" as
------------------------
defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act. Its representatives have been
provided an opportunity to ask questions of, and have received answers thereto
from, the Company and its representatives regarding the terms and conditions of
its acquisition of Securities, and the Company and its proposed business
generally, and have obtained all additional information requested by it to
verify the accuracy of all information furnished to it in connection with such
purchase.
(b) It has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
affairs that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of acquiring the
Securities it is acquiring hereunder.
(c) It is not relying on and acknowledges that no representation is
being made by any Purchaser, the Company or any of its officers, employees,
Affiliates, agents or representatives, or any Management Stockholder, except for
representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement and the
Stockholders Agreement, and, in particular, it is not relying on, and
acknowledges that no representation is being made in respect of, (x) any
projections, estimates or budgets delivered to or made available to them of
future revenues, expenses or expenditures, or future results of operations and
(y) any other information or
<PAGE>
documents delivered or made available to it or its representatives, except for
representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement and the
Stockholders Agreement.
(d) In deciding to invest in the Company, it has relied exclusively
on the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement and
the Stockholders Agreement, investigations made by itself and its
representatives and its and such representatives' knowledge of the industry in
which the Company proposes to operate. Based solely on such representations and
warranties and such investigations and knowledge, it has determined that the
Securities it is acquiring are a suitable investment for it.

breach, violation or default, create a Lien, or give rise to any right of
termination, modification, cancellation, prepayment or acceleration, under (i)
any Law or License, or (ii) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease,

Transfer as provided for in this Agreement.

instruments of assignment, transfer, conveyance, endorsement, direction or
authorization and other documents as may reasonably be requested by such party
in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and the Stockholders

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the parties to
consummate the Closing if any regulatory approval would require that it (i)
divest or hold separate any of its assets existing as of the date hereof other
than as contemplated by this Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement or (ii)
otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits its freedom of action in
any material respect with respect to any of its businesses, product lines or
assets.

---------------
(a) Each party shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, and its
and their respective shareholders, members, managers, directors, officers,
employees and agents (collectively, "Representatives") to, keep secret and

retain in strictest confidence any and all Confidential Information relating to
any other party that it receives in connection with the negotiation or
performance of this Agreement, and shall not disclose such Confidential
Information, and shall cause its Representatives not to disclose such
Confidential Information, to anyone except the receiving party's Affiliates and
Representatives and any other Person that agrees in writing to keep in
confidence all Confidential Information in accordance with the terms of this
Section 6.2. Until the Closing, each party agrees to use Confidential
Information received from another party only (i) to evaluate its interest in
pursuing the Transactions and (ii) to pursue such Transactions, but not for any
other purpose. All Confidential Information furnished pursuant to this
Agreement shall be returned promptly to the party to whom it belongs upon

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by law, if a party or any of its
Affiliates or Representatives breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, this
Section 6.2, the party whose Confidential Information shall be disclosed, or
threatened to be disclosed, shall have the right and remedy to have this Section
6.2 specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being
acknowledged and agreed that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy
to such party. Nothing in this Section 6.2 shall be construed to limit the
right of any party to collect money damages in the event of breach of this
Section 6.2.
(d) Anything else in this Agreement or the Stockholders Agreement
notwithstanding, each party shall have the right to disclose any information,
including Confidential Information of the other party or such other party's
Affiliates, in any filing with any regulatory agency, court or other authority
or any disclosure to a trustee of public debt of a party to the extent that the
disclosing party determines in good faith that it is required by Law, regulation
or the terms of such debt to do so, provided that any such disclosure shall be
as limited in scope as possible and shall be made only after giving the other
party as much notice as practicable of such required disclosure and an
opportunity to contest such disclosure if possible.

Mercury Licenses or their use, and which could have a Material Adverse Effect on
it or materially adversely affect the Transactions, or (ii) the Mercury Licenses
or their use;
(e) Promptly after obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of, or the
impending or threatened occurrence of, any event which could cause or constitute
a material breach of any of its warranties, representations, covenants or

and use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent or to promptly remedy such
breach; and

8.4 Procedures.
----------
(a) The terms of this Section 8.4 shall apply to any claim (a
"Claim") for indemnification under the terms of Sections 8.2 or 8.3. The Section
-----
8.2 Indemnified Party or Section 8.3 Indemnified Party Indemnified Party (each,
an "Indemnified Party"), as the case may be, shall give prompt written notice of
-----------------
such Claim to the indemnifying party (the "Indemnifying Party") under the
------------------
applicable Section, which party may assume the defense thereof, provided that
any delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all,
that it is materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. The
Indemnified Party shall have the right to approve any counsel selected by the
Indemnifying Party and to approve the terms of any proposed settlement, such
approval not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld (unless such settlement
provides only, as to the Indemnified Party, the payment of money damages
actually paid by the Indemnifying Party and a complete release of the
Indemnified Party in respect of the claim in question). Notwithstanding any of
the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this Article VIII shall not be
construed so as to provide for the indemnification of any Indemnified Party for
any liability to the extent (but
<PAGE>
only to the extent) that such indemnification would be in violation of
applicable law or that such liability may not be waived, modified or limited
under applicable law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate the provisions
of this Article VIII to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense
of any Claim, the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party advised as
to all material developments in connection with such Claim, including, but not
limited to, promptly furnishing the Indemnified Party with copies of all
material documents filed or served in connection therewith.
(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the
defense of any Claim within ten business days after receiving written notice
thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, subject to the Indemnifying
Party's right to assume the defense pursuant to the provisions of this Article
VIII, to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim for the
account of the Indemnifying Party. Unless and until the Indemnified Party
assumes the defense of any Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall advance to the
Indemnified Party any of its reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any such action or
proceeding. Each Indemnified Party shall agree in writing prior to any such
advancement that, in the event he or it receives any such advance, such
Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for such fees, costs
and expenses to the extent that it shall be determined that he or it was not
entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII.
(d) In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be required to pay in
connection with any Claim for more than one firm of counsel (and local counsel)
for each of the following groups of Indemnified Parties: (i) Mercury, its
Affiliates, and the shareholders, members, managers, officers, employees, agents
and/or the legal representatives of any of them; and (ii) the Company and its
Affiliates, and the shareholders, members, managers, officers, employees, agents
and/or the legal representatives of any of them.

EXHIBIT A
---------
_____________, 1998
TeleCorp PCS, Inc.
1110 N. Glebe Road, Suite 300
Arlington, VA 22201
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Mercury PCS II, LLC, a Mississippi limited liability
company ("Mercury") in connection with the closing (the "Closing") under the
------- -------
License Acquisition Agreement dated as of February , 1998 (the "License
-------
Acquisition Agreement") by and between Mercury and TeleCorp PCS, Inc. a
- ---------------------
Delaware corporation (the "Company"). This opinion is furnished to you pursuant
-------
to Section 72 of the License Acquisition Agreement. Capitalized terms used in
this opinion which are defined in the License Acquisition Agreement shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the License Acquisition Agreement, unless
otherwise defined in this opinion.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined the Certificate of Formation
and Limited Liability Company Agreement of Mercury and the limited liability
company proceedings taken by Mercury in connection with the Transaction
Documents (defined below). We have also examined executed copies or photocopies
of executed copies of the following documents:
1. the License Acquisition Agreement,
2. the Restated Certificate and Restated Bylaws,
3. the Stockholders Agreement;
4. the instruments of assignment referred to in Section 32 of
the License Acquisition Agreement (the "Instruments of
--------------
Assignment");
----------
5. the opinion of Brown & Wood LLP (the "New York Counsel Opinion"),
------------------------
a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A; and
---------
6. such other documents records and papers as we have deemed
necessary and relevant as a basis for this opinion.
The specific documents listed at I through 4 above are collectively referred to
herein as the "Transaction Documents".
---------------------
We have examined originals or copies of such certificates, documents, records,
agreements and instruments and have made such investigations of law and fact as
we have deemed necessary to
<PAGE>
TeleCorp PCS, Inc.
______________,1998
Page 6
render this opinion. To the extent we deem proper, we have relied as to certain
factual matters on representations made in the Transaction Documents and oral or
written statements, letters or certificates of public officials or the manager
and/or members of Mercury. For the opinion of good standing of Mercury we have
relied solely upon the Certificate of Existence on Mercury issued by the
Mississippi Secretary of State on February _____,1998.
In each place where the phrase 'to our knowledge" or like references appear,
this shall mean to the best of our knowledge after due inquiry and
investigation. Due inquiry and investigation shall include only (i) discussions
inquiries and conferences occurring in connection with our representation of
Mercury, (ii) reviews of certain limited liability company records, documents
and proceedings of Mercury, and (iii) reviews of our files, relating to Mercury,
and shall not imply any independent verification of any factual matter of which
we became aware as a result of such discussions, inquiries, conferences and
reviews.
As used herein, the term "Applicable Laws" means the General Corporation Law of
---------------
the State of Delaware and the laws, rules and regulations of the State of
Mississippi, of the State of New York, and of the United States, and
"Governmental Authorities" means any Mississippi, New York, Delaware or federal
------------------------
executive, legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory body.
All opinions expressed in this letter are subject in their entirety to the
following qualifications and assumptions and the qualifications and assumptions
set forth in the New York Counsel Opinion:
(i) We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to
us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of
natural persons and the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us
as copies
(ii) Although certain of our attorneys are qualified to practice in
states other than Mississippi we express no opinion regarding matters which may
be governed by any laws other than the Applicable Laws. In this regard, we note
that the License Acquisition Agreement and the Instruments of Assignment are to
be governed by the laws of the State of New York. With respect to the opinions
expressed in Paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 below which involve matters governed by or
concerning the laws of the State of New York, we have, with your permission
relied entirely and exclusively on the New York Counsel Opinion.
(iii) We express no opinion as to (i) matters arising under or
governed by the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules and
regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") promulgated
---
thereunder, (ii) the public service or public utilities laws, rules or
regulations of any jurisdiction, (iii) the antitrust or similar laws of the
United States or any other jurisdiction, (iv) the franchise or similar laws of
the United States or any other jurisdiction, or (v) the laws of any municipality
or other local agency within any state.
<PAGE>
TeleCorp PCS, Inc.
______________,1998
Page 7
(iv) We have assumed that the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents will be effected in the future in accordance with the
terms thereof.
(v) We have assumed that each of the parties (other than Mercury)
has the full power, authority and legal right to enter into and perform its
obligations under each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and
has duly authorized, executed and delivered the same, and that each such
agreement or instrument is its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against
it in accordance with its terms. We express no opinion as to the effect on the
opinions expressed herein of (i) the compliance or non-compliance of any party
(other than Mercury) to the Transaction Documents with any state, federal or
other laws or regulations applicable to them, (ii) the regulatory status or the
name of the business of any party to the Transaction Documents (other than
Mercury) or (iii) the applicability or effect of any fraudulent transfer or
similar law on the Transaction Documents or any transactions contemplated
thereby.
(vi) We have assumed that all parties will in all respects act in
good faith in a commercially reasonable manner and in compliance with applicable
federal and state laws and authority.
Based solely upon and in reliance on the documents and statements referred to
above, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth
or incorporated herein, we are of the opinion that:
1. Mercury is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Mississippi.
2. Mercury has all requisite limited liability company power
to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as
now being conducted, and to execute and deliver and perform its
obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party,
including the assignment to the Company of the Mercury Licenses, and in
each case to engage in the respective Transactions.
3. The execution, delivery and performance by Mercury of each
of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation
of the Transactions, including the Mercury License Transfer, have been
duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the
part of Mercury and its members and no other proceedings on its part or
the part of its members is necessary to authorize the Transaction
Documents or to consummate the Transactions.
4. Each Transaction Document to which Mercury is a party has
been duly executed and delivered by Mercury and constitutes the valid and
binding obligation of Mercury, enforceable against Mercury in accordance
with its terms, subject to the following qualifications:
<PAGE>
TeleCorp PCS, Inc.
______________,1998
Page 8
a. the enforceability of the Transaction Documents may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting generally the
enforcement of creditors' rights.
b. our opinion is subject to limitations on the enforceability
of any rights to contribution or indemnification provided for in any
of the Transaction Documents which are violative of the public policy
underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any federal or state
securities law or regulation).
c. no opinion is expressed as to the enforceability of
provisions relating to restrictive covenants, waiver of remedies (or
the delay or omission of enforcement thereof), disclaimers, liability
limitations with respect to third parties, releases of legal or
equitable rights, or discharges of defenses.
d. the enforceability of the Transaction Documents is subject to
and may be affected by general principles of equity (regardless of
whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) including, but
not limited to, the availability of specific performance.
e. we have assumed there are no oral or written modifications of
or amendments to the Transaction Documents and there has been no
waiver of any of the provisions of these documents, by actions or
conduct of the parties or otherwise.
5. Except as set forth in the Transaction Documents (including by
reference to a schedule of exhibit), neither the execution, delivery and
performance by Mercury of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party,
nor the consummation by Mercury of the Transactions, including the Mercury
License Transfer will (a) conflict with any provision of the organizational
documents of Mercury; (b) contravene any provision of Applicable Law, or
(c) require any Consent on the part of any Governmental Authority, except,
in the case of clauses (b) and (c) hereof, where such conflict or
contravention, or the failure to obtain or give such Consent, would not
have a Material Adverse Effect on Mercury or materially adversely affect
the Transactions.
6. The License Acquisition Agreement and the Instruments of
Assignment are in form sufficient to effect the Mercury License Transfer.
We express no opinion, however, as to the nature or extent of Mercury's
rights in, or title to, the Mercury Licenses or any other property
purported to be transferred by the License Acquisition Agreement or the
Instruments of Transfer.

Exhibit B
---------
Opinion Letter Of FCC Counsel To Mercury PCS Corporation
_______________, 1998
TeleCorp PCS, Inc.
1110 N. Glebe Road
Suite 300
Arlington, Virginia 22201
Dear Sir or Madame:
We have acted as special Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") counsel
for Mercury PCS II, L.L.C. ("Mercury") in connection with the License
Acquisition Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of __________, 1998 between
Mercury and TeleCorp PCS, Inc. ("TeleCorp"). This opinion is being furnished
to you pursuant to Section 7.2(d) of the Agreement. Except as otherwise
specified, capitalized terms used in this opinion which are defined in the
Agreement are used herein with the same meaning.
This opinion is governed by, and shall be interpreted in accordance with,
the Legal Opinion Accord of the ABA Section of Business Law (1991) and the
Report of the Subcommittee on Legal Opinions of the Transactional Practice
Committee of the Federal Communications Bar Association (1996). As a
consequence, it is subject to a number of qualifications, exceptions,
definitions, limitations on coverage and other limitations, all as more
particularly described in the Accord, and this opinion should be read in
conjunction therewith.
As special FCC counsel to Mercury, we have represented Mercury before the
FCC. This opinion is limited strictly to matters arising under the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), and the published rules,
regulations and policies of the FCC (collectively "Communications Laws) , all as
applicable to Mercury. We express no opinion with respect to any other law,
statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, decision, judgment, decree, legal
requirement, or legal authority. This opinion should not be construed to render
an opinion on any matter of state law with respect to Mercury or its operations,
or on the validity of the issuance of any securities, or on the lawful
procedures for perfection of security interests.
<PAGE>
In connection with this opinion, we have examined such records, documents,
certificates, and other instruments of record in the publicly available files of
the FCC ("Public File") on ___________, 1998, and have made such investigations
of law as we deem necessary to render this opinion. (Collectively our
investigation described above undertaken to render this opinion is 'Our
Inquiry.") In making Our Inquiry, we have assumed: (i) the genuineness of all
signatures (other than those of representatives of Mercury) appearing on all
documents: (ii) the legal capacity of all persons executing documents to do so;
(iii) the authenticity and completeness of documents submitted to us for our
examination, whether or not they have been submitted to us as originals: (iv)
the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents
submitted to us as certified, conformed, facsimile, or photostatic copies; (v)
the accuracy and completeness of all records made available to us by Mercury and
by the FCC, except as otherwise expressly stated herein; (vi) the due
authorization of the execution, delivery, and performance of the Agreement; and
(vii) the validity and binding effect of the Agreement upon the parties thereto.
As to various matters of fact in connection with this opinion, we have
relied solely upon Our Inquiry as described herein. No inference as to our
knowledge of the existence or nonexistence of facts, other than facts of which
we have obtained actual knowledge as a result of Our Inquiry, should be drawn
from the fact of our representation of Mercury as special FCC counsel.
When used in this opinion, the term "our knowledge," or some similar
phrase, refers to the actual current knowledge of the attorneys currently in
this firm who have been actively involved in Mercury's representation. Whenever
our opinion with respect to the existence or nonexistence of facts is qualified
by the phrase "to our knowledge," or some similar phrase, it is intended to
indicate that no information has come to the attention of those attorneys in the
course of our representation that would give them actual knowledge that our
opinion with respect to the existence or nonexistence of any facts is
inaccurate.
Whenever our opinion is qualified by the phrase "after Our Inquiry" or some
similar phrase, it is intended to indicate that we undertook Our Inquiry as
described herein, but did not undertake any independent investigation or
evaluation to confirm the accuracy or completeness of the responses of Mercury
or FCC to Our Inquiry or any on-site field inspection of Mercury or its
facilities, and have relied fully on Mercury's descriptions of its facilities in
the Agreement. Moreover, a field inspection of Mercury's facilities is not
within the scope of our professional responsibility or expertise as attorneys
and we do not make such inspections, including but not limited to inspection of
the physical condition of Mercury's facilities or whether actual operation of
these facilities is in compliance with legal, regulatory or technical standards
which may be
<PAGE>
applicable. The phrase "to our knowledge" or like language includes the
limitation expressed in this paragraph with respect to the fact that we have
conducted no field inspection of Mercury's facilities.
Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
1. Mercury is the legal holder of the Mercury Licenses attached
to Schedule I of the Agreement. Each of the PCS Licenses is valid and is in full
force and effect. With regard to the Mercury Licenses, Mercury has submitted to
the FCC all required material documents, applications and reports required
pursuant to FCC Rules and is in compliance with respect to the operation of the
Mercury Licenses in all material respects.
2. Except for those matters set forth in Schedule II, there is
not pending, nor to the best of our knowledge, threatened against Mercury or the
Mercury Licenses, any application, action, petition, objection or other

[Letterhead of Counsel to the Company]
Mercury PCS II, LLC
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for TeleCorp PCS, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the closing (the "Closing")
under the License Acquisition Agreement, dated as of May 15, 1998 (the "License
Acquisition Agreement"), by and between the Company and Mercury PCS II, LLC, a
Mississippi limited liability company ("Mercury"). Capitalized terms used herein
without definition shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the
License Acquisition Agreement. This opinion is being delivered pursuant to
Section 7.3 of the License Acquisition Agreement.
In connection herewith, we have examined executed copies or
photocopies of executed copies of the following documents (collectively, the
"Transaction Documents"):
1. the License Acquisition Agreement;
2. the Restated Certificate and Restated Bylaws; and
3. the Stockholders Agreement.
In giving this opinion, we have examined and relied on the
representations as to factual matters contained in or made pursuant to the
Transaction Documents, and have also examined and relied upon the originals, or
copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate
records, documents, certificates and other instruments, and have made such other
investigations, as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to
render the opinions expressed below with respect to our opinion as to whether
the Company and its Subsidiaries are in good standing in a particular
jurisdiction, we have relied on good standing or similar certificates issued on
or prior to the date hereof by the Office of the Secretary of State or similar
office of such jurisdictions.
<PAGE>
In our examinations, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural
persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all
documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the
authenticity of the originals of such copies. We have also assumed that each of
the parties (other than the Company) (i) has the full power, authority and legal
right to enter into and perform its obligations under each of the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party, (ii) has duly authorized, executed and
delivered the same, (iii) has complied with the terms of the Transaction
Documents, and (iv) that each such agreement or instrument is its valid and
binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. We
express no opinion as to the effect on the opinions expressed herein of (i) the
compliance or non-compliance of any party (other than the Company) to the
Transaction Documents with any state, federal or other laws or regulations
applicable to them, (ii) the regulatory status or the nature of the business of
any party to the Transaction Documents (other than the Company) or (iii) the
applicability or effect of any fraudulent transfer or similar law on the
Transaction Documents or any transactions contemplated thereby.
As used herein, the term "Applicable Laws" means the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the laws, rules and regulations of
the State of New York and of the United States; and "Governmental Authorities"
mean any New York, Delaware or federal executive, legislative, judicial,
administrative or regulatory body. Whenever our opinion herein is indicated to
be based upon our knowledge of any matter or issue, it is intended to signify
that, in the course of our preparation of this opinion and representation of the
Company in connection with its execution and delivery of the Transaction
Documents, without having made any special investigation, none of the attorneys
who were involved in the preparation of the opinion, or such representation of
the Company has acquired actual knowledge of the matter or issue.
Based upon the foregoing, subject to the assumptions, qualifications
and limitations stated herein, and relying as to factual matters solely upon
statements of fact contained in the documents that we have examined, we are of
the opinion that:
1. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is a corporation
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation.
2. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has all
requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry
on its business as now being conducted and as proposed to be conducted, and in
the case of the Company to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under
the Transaction Documents to
<PAGE>
which it is a party, including the issuance of the Preferred Stock and the
Common Stock, and in each case to engage in the respective Transactions.
3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each of
the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the
Transactions, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
part of the Company and its stockholders and no other proceedings on its part or
the part of its stockholders is necessary to authorize the Transaction Documents
or to consummate the Transactions.
4. Each Transaction Document to which the Company is a party has
been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the valid and
binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms, subject to the following qualifications:
a. enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless
of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law);
b. our opinion is subject to limitations on the enforceability of any
rights to contribution or indemnification provided for in any of the
Transaction Documents which are violative of the public policy underlying
any law, rule or regulation (including any federal or state securities law
or regulation); and
c. no opinion is expressed as to the enforceability of provisions
relating to restrictive covenants, waiver of remedies (or the delay or
omission of enforcement thereof), disclaimers, liability limitations with
respect to third parties, releases of legal or equitable rights, or
discharges of defenses.
5. Except as set forth in the Transaction Documents (including by
reference to a schedule or exhibit), neither the execution, delivery and
performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, nor the consummation of
the Transactions, will (a) conflict with any provision of the Company's
organizational documents, (b) contravene any provision of Applicable Law; or (c)
require any Consent on the part of any Governmental Authority other than those
set forth on Schedule 5.2 to the License Acquisition Agreement, except, in the
case of clauses (b) and (c) hereof, where such contravention, or the failure to
obtain or give such Consent, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the
Company or materially adversely affect the Transactions or the operation of the
Company's business after the Closing Date.
<PAGE>
6. The shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock being delivered
pursuant to the License Acquisition Agreement will be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will be free of any Liens caused or
created by the Company, except as set forth in the Stockholders Agreement and
the Restated Certificate. The shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued
upon conversion or exchange of the Preferred Stock, when issued pursuant to the
terms of the Preferred Stock, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, and will be free of any Liens caused or created by the Company,
except as set forth in the Stockholders Agreement and the Restated Certificate.
The foregoing opinions are limited to the laws of the State of New
York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Federal laws
of the United States of America, except that we express no opinion as to (i)
matters arising under or governed by the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
or the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (the
"FCC") promulgated thereunder, (ii) the public service or public utilities laws,
rules or regulations of any jurisdiction, (iii) the antitrust or similar laws of
the United States or any other jurisdiction, (iv) the franchise or similar laws
of the United States or any other jurisdiction, and (v) matters arising under or
governed by the Small Business Investment Company Act of 1958, as amended, or
the rules and regulations of the Small Business Administration promulgated
thereunder, or (vi) the laws of any municipality or other local agency within
any state. We are members of the bar of the State of New York, and, as such, do
not purport to be experts on laws other than the laws of the State of New York,
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and certain Federal laws of
the United States.
This opinion is being furnished to you in connection with the Closing
occurring today. This opinion is solely for your benefit and is not to be used,
circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose without our
prior consent. We assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to

and thereunder to which it is or will be a party.
(3) It is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the
character of its properties owned or held under lease or the nature of its

the giving of notice or passage of time or both, a breach, violation or default,

or threatened to be disclosed, shall have the right and remedy to have this

Agreements notwithstanding, each party shall have the right to disclose any
information, including

disclosure to a trustee of public debt of a party to the extent that the
disclosing party determines in good faith that it is required by Law, regulation
or the terms of such debt to do so, provided that any such disclosure shall be
as limited in scope as possible and shall be made only after giving the other
party as much notice as practicable of such required disclosure and an
opportunity to contest such disclosure if possible.

and which could have a Material Adverse Effect on it or materially adversely
affect the Transactions, or (ii) the Wireless Licenses or their use;

ARTICLE VIII
SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION
----------------------------
8.1 Survival. The representations and warranties made in this Agreement
--------
shall survive the Closing until the second anniversary thereof and shall
thereupon expire together with any right to indemnification in respect thereof
(except to the extent a written notice asserting a claim for breach of any such
representation or warranty and describing such claim in reasonable detail shall
have been given prior to such date to the party which made such representation
or warranty). The covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed or
complied with prior to the Closing shall expire at the Closing. The covenants
and agreements contained in this Agreement to be performed or complied with
after the Closing shall survive the Closing; provided that the right to
indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII in respect of a breach of a
representation or warranty shall expire on the second anniversary of the Closing
(except to the extent written notice asserting a claim thereunder and describing
such claim in reasonable detail shall have been given prior to such date to the
party from whom such indemnification is sought). After the Closing, the sole and
exclusive remedy of the parties for any breach or inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, or any other claim
(whether or not alleging a breach of this Agreement) that arises out of the
facts and circumstances constituting such breach or inaccuracy, shall be the
indemnity provided in this Article VIII. For purposes of determining materiality
thresholds in Section 8.2 and 8.3 below, any qualifications as to materiality
contained elsewhere herein shall be disregarded.
8.2 Indemnification by Wireless. Wireless shall indemnify and hold
---------------------------
harmless the Company and its Affiliates, and the shareholders, members,
managers, officers, employees, agents and/or the legal representatives of any of
them (each, a "Section 8.2 Indemnified Party"), against all liabilities and
-----------------------------
expenses (including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, as
fines and penalties, and as counsel fees) (collectively, "Losses") incurred by
------
him
<PAGE>
or it in connection with the investigation, defense, or disposition of any
action, claim, charge, suit or other proceeding in which any Section 8.2
Indemnified Party may be involved or with which he or it may be threatened that
arises out of or results from (a) any representation or warranty of such
indemnifying party contained in this Agreement or in either of the Stockholders
Agreements being untrue in any material respect as of the date on which it was
made, (b) any material default by such indemnifying party or any of its
Affiliates in the performance of their respective obligations under this
Agreement and the Stockholders Agreements, except to the extent (but only to the
extent) any such Losses arise out of or result from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Section 8.2 Indemnified Party or his or its
Affiliates, or (c) any Excluded Liability.
8.3 Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify and hold
------------------------------
harmless Wireless and its Affiliates, and the shareholders, members, managers,
officers, employees, agents and/or the legal representatives of any of them
(each, a "Section 8.3 Indemnified Party"), against all Losses incurred by him or
-----------------------------
it in connection with the investigation, defense, or disposition of any action,
suit or other proceeding in which any Section 8.3 Indemnified Party may be
involved or with which he or it may be threatened that arises out of or results
from (a) any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this
Agreement or in either of the Stockholders Agreements being untrue in any
material respect as of the date on which it was made or (b) any material default
by the Company or any of its Affiliates in the performance of their respective
obligations under this Agreement or in the Stockholders Agreements, except to
the extent (but only to the extent) any such Losses arise out of or result from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Section 8.3 Indemnified Party
or his or its Affiliates.
8.4 Procedures.
----------
(1) The terms of this Section 8.4 shall apply to any claim (a
"Claim") for indemnification under the terms of Sections 8.2 or 8.3. The Section
-----
8.2 Indemnified Party or Section 8.3 Indemnified Party Indemnified Party (each,
an "Indemnified Party"), as the case may be, shall give prompt written notice of
-----------------
such Claim to the indemnifying party (the "Indemnifying Party") under the
------------------
applicable Section, which party may assume the defense thereof, provided that
any delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all,
that it is materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. The
Indemnified Party shall have the right to approve any counsel selected by the
Indemnifying Party and to approve the terms of any proposed settlement, such
approval not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld (unless such settlement
provides only, as to the Indemnified Party, the payment of money damages
actually paid by the Indemnifying Party and a complete release of the
Indemnified Party in respect of the claim in question). Notwithstanding any of
the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this Article VIII shall not be
construed so as to provide for the indemnification of any Indemnified Party for
any liability to the extent (but only to the extent) that such indemnification
would be in violation of applicable law or that such liability may not be
waived, modified or limited under applicable law, but shall be construed so as
to effectuate the provisions of this Article VIII to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
<PAGE>
(2) In the event that the Indemnifying Party undertakes the
defense of any Claim, the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party
advised as to all material developments in connection with such Claim,
including, but not limited to, promptly furnishing the Indemnified Party with
copies of all material documents filed or served in connection therewith.
(3) In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the
defense of any Claim within ten business days after receiving written notice
thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, subject to the Indemnifying
Party's right to assume the defense pursuant to the provisions of this Article
VIII, to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim for the
account of the Indemnifying Party. Unless and until the Indemnified Party
assumes the defense of any Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall advance to the
Indemnified Party any of its reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any such action or
proceeding. Each Indemnified Party shall agree in writing prior to any such
advancement that, in the event he or it receives any such advance, such
Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for such fees, costs
and expenses to the extent that it shall be determined that he or it was not
entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII.
(4) In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be required to pay
in connection with any Claim for more than one firm of counsel (and local
counsel) for each of the following groups of Indemnified Parties: (i) Wireless,
its Affiliates, and the shareholders, members, managers, officers, employees,
agents and/or the legal representatives of any of them; and (ii) the Company and
its Affiliates, and the shareholders, members, managers, officers, employees,
agents and/or the legal representatives of any of them.
8.5 Registration Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
-------------------
Article VIII, the indemnification and contribution provisions set forth in
Sections 5(e) and 5(f) of the Stockholders Agreement shall govern any claim made
with respect to the registration statements filed pursuant to Section 5 of the
Stockholders Agreement or sales made thereunder.

RE: Wireless 2000, Inc.
Dear Mark:
In accordance with our recent telephone conversation I enclose herewith
a schedule showing current principal balances, suspension interest, payments
due, and amounts paid in July of this year, with respect to the licenses which
TeleCorp is to acquire from Wireless.
I also enclose a financial management service memorandum from the
United States Treasury reflecting the amounts shown on the schedule. Note that
the Treasury memorandum reflects 100% of the Lake Charles debt, accruals and
payments, only one-half of which are to be assumed or paid by TeleCorp in our
transactions.
I trust that this information will be sufficient for your purposes.
Please call me if you need further information or documentation.
We look forward to receiving from you as early as possible revised
documents to consummate the transaction. In addition, as we discussed, Wireless
seeks agreement and confirmation that TeleCorp will make or advance the payments
due October 31, 1998, which would otherwise be reimbursed at closing, if we have
not closed by that date.
With kindest regards,
Sincerely,
GOLD, WEEMS, BRUSER, SUES & RUNDELL

US $4,707,517.50
Washington, D.C. September 17, 1996
License No.: PBB009C
-------
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Wireless 2000, Inc., a CORPORATION
("Maker"), promises to pay to the order of the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION, an independent regulatory agency of the United States ("Payee" or
"Commission"), the principal sum of 4,707,517.50 DOLLARS ("Principal Amount"),
together with accrued interest, computed at the annual rate of seven percent
(7.00%) per annum, ("Annual Rate") on the unpaid Principal Amount hereof, from
the date of this Note until the date the entire Principal Amount has been paid
in full.
Interest and principal shall be payable as set forth below and in
accordance with Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof:
Interest only, at the Annual Rate from the date hereof until the last day
of the month ninety (90) days hence, shall be due and payable on December 31,
1996 in the amount of $94,795.22. Commencing December 31, 1996, Maker shall pay
interest only at the Annual Rate, in equal consecutive quarterly installments of
$82,381.56, due on the last day of the month and every ninety (90) days
thereafter from December 31, 1996 through September 30, 2002.
Commencing December 31, 2002, Maker shall pay principal and interest in
equal quarterly installments of $339,880.77, due on the last day of each month
ninety (90) days hence through and including June 30, 2006.
The entire unpaid Principal Amount, together with accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, and all remaining obligations of Maker hereunder, shall be due
and payable on September 17, 2006 ("Maturity Date").
All interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for actual
days elapsed.
All payments to be made hereunder, of principal, interest, costs, expenses,
or other sums due hereunder, shall be made to the holder of this Note in lawful
money of the United States of America which at the time of payment shall be
legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, free and clear and
without reduction by reason of any present or future income, stamp or other
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, compulsory loans or withholdings
whatsoever, including interest thereon or penalties with respect thereto, if any
imposed, assessed, levied or collected by any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein, on or in respect of this Note or the obligations
it evidences. All payments shall be made during normal business hours at the
Commission's designated lockbox location as set forth from time to time in the
<PAGE>
Commission's then-applicable orders and regulations and/or public notices.
This Note is secured by, and entitled to the benefits of, a Security
Agreement (the "Security Agreement") of even date between Maker and Payee. All
the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Security
Agreement are hereby incorporated herein and made part of this Note to the same
extent and effect as if fully set forth herein. It is expressly understood by
Maker that all of the terms of the Security Agreement apply to this Note and
that reference in the Security Agreement to "this Agreement" includes both the
Security Agreement and this Note.
IT IS HEREBY EXPRESSLY AGREED THAT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE FOR THE
PERFORMANCE OF ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNDER THIS NOTE AND THE SECURITY
AGREEMENT.
A default under this Note ("Event of Default") shall occur upon any or all
of the following:
a. non-payment by Maker of any Principal or Interest on the due date as
specified hereinabove if the Maker remains delinquent for more than 90 days and
(1) Maker has not submitted a request, in writing, for a grace
period or extension of payments, if any such grace period or
extension of payments is provided for in the then-applicable
orders and regulations of the Commission; or
(2) Maker has submitted a request, in writing, for a grace period or
extension of payments, if any such grace period or extension of
payments is provided for in the then-applicable orders and
regulations of the Commission, and following the expiration of
the grant of such grace period or extension or upon denial of
such a request for a grace period or extension, Maker has not
resumed payments of Interest and Principal in accordance with
the terms of this Note;
or;
b. failure by Maker to comply with any other condition for holding the
above referenced license (as defined in the Security Agreement) as set forth in
the license or in the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, or the then-
applicable orders and regulations of the Commission; or
c. violation by Maker of any other covenant or term of this Note or the
Security Agreement.
Upon any Event of Default under this Note, Payee may assess a late fee and/or
administrative charge, plus the costs of collection, litigation, attorneys'
fees, and default payment as specified in the then-applicable orders and
regulations of the Commission, as amended, and Maker
<PAGE>
acknowledges that it is liable and herein expressly promises to pay on demand
such additional costs, expenses, late charges, administrative charges, attorneys
fees, and default payment. Upon a default under this Note, the unpaid Principal
Amount, plus all unpaid interest accrued thereon, together with any late fee
and/or administrative charge, plus the costs of collection, litigation,
attorneys' fees, and default payment as specified in the then-applicable orders
and regulations of the Commission, as amended, shall become immediately due and
payable. The Maker hereby acknowledges that the Commission has issued Maker the
above referenced license pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
that is conditioned upon full and timely payment of financial obligations under
the Commission's installment payment plan, as set forth in the then-applicable
orders and regulations of the Commission, as amended, and that the sanctions and
enforcement authority of the Commission shall remain applicable in the event of
a failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the license, regardless of
the enforceability of this Note or the Security Agreement.
No delay or omission on the part of Payee in exercising any right under
this Note, the Security Agreement, or any other instrument securing this Note,
shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right of Payee, nor
shall any waiver by Payee of any such right or rights on any one occasion be
deemed a bar to or waiver of the same right or rights on any future occasion.
The Maker is liable for all costs of collection or enforcement of the
Payee's rights under this Note or under the Security Agreement or under any
other instrument now or hereafter executed by Maker in favor of Payee which in
any manner evidences or constitutes additional security for this Note, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, whether suit is brought or not, and all such costs
shall be paid by the Maker on demand, and whether or not such collection or
enforcement occurs in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other
proceedings involving creditors' rights or involving a claim under this Note or
any of the other loan documents.
Maker, all endorsers and guarantors hereof and any other party who may
become liable for all or any part of the obligation evidenced hereby, waive
presentment for payment, notice or dishonor, protest and notice of protest,
notice of nonpayment and any and all lack of diligence or delays in collection
or enforcement of this Note.
Maker may prepay all or any part of the Principal Amount without premium or
penalty upon ten (10) days' prior written notice to Payee, given in the manner
provided in the Security Agreement.
Partial prepayments shall not postpone or reduce regular payments to be
made hereunder. All such prepayments shall be applicable first to the payment of
late charges, if any, costs and expenses, and administrative penalties due
hereunder, then to accrued and unpaid interest, then to that portion of the
unpaid Principal Amount due on the Maturity Date and then, if applicable, to any
unpaid installments of principal in the inverse order of installment maturities.
The Payee may require that any partial prepayments be made on the dates
installments of principal and interest are due hereunder.
<PAGE>
Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, Payee shall not charge, take
or receive, and Maker shall not be obligated to pay to Payee, any amounts
constituting interest on the Principal Amount in excess of the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law. If by reason of the acceleration of the unpaid
Principal Amount or otherwise, interest in excess of the highest legal contract
rate permitted by applicable law shall at any time be paid, any such excess
shall constitute and be treated as a payment of outstanding principal hereunder
and shall operate to reduce such outstanding Principal Amount.

AGREEMENT, OR OTHER DOCUMENTS EVIDENCING OR SECURING THE DEBT TRANSACTION
EVIDENCED HEREBY MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS NOTE AND SECURITY

SECURITY AGREEMENT
(Broadband Personal Communications Service, C Block): Auction Event No. 5)
License No. PBB009C
-------
This SECURITY AGREEMENT DATED September 17, 1996, ("Agreement")
between Wireless 2000, Inc., a CORPORATION ("Debtor") and the FEDERAL
COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION, an independent regulatory agency of the United States
("Commission" or "Secured Party")
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, Debtor has submitted the highest accepted bid for license
number PBB009C in the Broadband Personal Communications Service C Block auction
(hereinafter the "License") conducted by the Commission to assign such licenses;
WHEREAS, the Commission has duly determined to grant the License to
Debtor, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the orders and
regulations of the Commission applicable to such licenses, and the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended;
WHEREAS, Debtor wishes to pay its auction price for the License by
installments through an Installment Payment Plan as provided by 47 C.F.R. ss.ss.
24.711, 1.2110 (hereinafter the "Installment Payment Plan") and undertakes to
hold the License under the terms and conditions set forth in the Commission's
orders and regulations, as amended, applicable to such licenses, and the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended and the terms and conditions of this
Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Commission has agreed to permit the Debtor to make
payment of the auction price for the License through an Installment Payment
Plan; and
WHEREAS, as a condition to such agreement, Debtor has agreed to
execute the Installment Payment Plan Note of even date ("Note") and to enter
into this Agreement and make the pledge and assignment of collateral
contemplated herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual
agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt, adequacy, and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and in order
to induce the Commission to permit Debtor to pay the auction price for the
License through the Installment Payment Plan, Debtor hereby agrees with the
Commission as follows:
1. Pledge and Assignment of Collateral of Obligations Under Note.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Debtor hereby pledges, assigns, hypothecates, delivers, and sets over to the
Commission and grants to the Commission a first lien on and continuing security
interest in all of the Debtor's rights and
<PAGE>
interest in the License and all proceeds, profits and products of any sale of or
other disposition thereof (collectively the "Collateral"), all as collateral
security for the prompt and complete payment when due (whether in accordance
with the schedule of payments, at the stated maturity, by acceleration, or
otherwise) of the unpaid principal and interest due, and such other additional
costs, expenses, late charges, administrative charges, attorneys fees, and
default payments assessable under the terms of the Note (all collectively
"Obligations"). It is expressly understood by Debtor that all of the terms of
the Note apply to this Agreement and that reference herein to "this Agreement"
includes both the Security Agreement herein and the Note. For purposes of
interpreting the terms used in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to
them in the Uniform Commercial Code (Official Text and Comments, American Law
Institute).
2. Interest of Commission. It is understood and acknowledged by Debtor
----------------------
that pursuant to Section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, the
Commission is charged with the regulatory mandate to maintain control over all
channels of radio transmission (the "Spectrum"), and to provide licenses for the
use of such radio channels, but not ownership thereof. Debtor understands and
acknowledges that it holds a mere conditional license to use the Spectrum with
no ownership interest in the Collateral (or any underlying right to use the
Spectrum), or any power to assign the License without the prior Approval of the
Commission pursuant to Section 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended. Debtor further understands and acknowledges that it is giving a
security interest to the Commission in the Collateral only to assist the
Commission in protecting its ability to enforce the Commission's regulations
which condition holding the license in compliance with all then-applicable
orders and regulations of the Commission, including, but not limited to, full
and timely payment of all payments under the Installment Payment Plan. To that
end, and not in derogation of any of the Commission's regulatory authority over
the License, Debtor hereby acknowledges that the Commission has a first security
interest in the Collateral, and Debtor shall not dispute such first security
interest, or the Commission's rights as a secured party hereunder, in any legal
or equitable proceeding in which Debtor, or any assignee or trustee of the
estate of Debtor in bankruptcy, is a party.
3. Compliance with Commission Orders and Regulations. Nothing in this
-------------------------------------------------
Agreement shall be deemed to modify any then-applicable orders and regulations
of the Commission, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to release
Debtor from compliance therewith.
4. Representations and Warranties of Debtor. Debtor represents and
----------------------------------------
warrants to the Commission as follows:

therein, is duly authorized by Debtor to take all such acts and to execute all
such documents.
(d) No security agreements have been executed and delivered, and no
financing statements have been filed in any jurisdiction, granting or purporting
to grant a security interest in the Collateral to any secured party except to
the Commission.
(e) No consent of any other party and no consent, license, approval or
authorization of, exemption by, or registration or declaration with, any
governmental instrumentality, domestic or foreign other than the Commission, is
required to be obtained in connection with the execution, delivery or
performance of this Agreement, the Note or any other document executed and
delivered in connection with the delivery of the Note or this Agreement.
(f) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
Note, does not and will not violate any provision of any applicable law or
regulation or any order, judgment, writ, award or decree of any court,
arbitrator, governmental instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or of any
indenture, contract, agreement or other undertaking to which Debtor is a party
or which purports to be binding upon Debtor or upon any of Debtor's assets, and
will not result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance
on or security interest in any of the assets of Debtor, except as contemplated
by this Agreement.
(g) All right and interest of any kind in and to the Collateral is
held by Debtor or the Commission and by no other party, and the Collateral is
free from any lien, security interest, encumbrance or adverse claim of any kind
whatsoever thereon. Debtor will not permit any financing statement to be filed
with respect to the Collateral or any portion thereof or interest therein except
in favor of Secured Party. Debtor will notify Secured Party of, and will defend

interest in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands of all persons

-3-
<PAGE>
(c) That it will not make any indenture, contract, agreement or other
undertaking to which Debtor is a party or which purports to be binding upon
Debtor, or upon any of Debtor's assets, that would result in the creation or
imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance on or security interest in any of
the assets of Debtor that would be inconsistent with its pledge and assignment
of the Collateral hereunder, except as contemplated by this Agreement. Except
for the liens and encumbrances created hereby, Debtor will keep the Collateral
free and clear of any lien, security interest or encumbrance.
(d) That it will pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, of the Commission incurred in connection with the enforcement
of this Agreement and any and all liability incurred by the Commission resulting
from any act or omission of Debtor with respect to the Collateral and this
Agreement.
(e) Debtor will execute, alone or with Secured Party, any document,
will procure any document and do all other acts and pay all connected costs, in
a timely and proper manner, which from the character or use of the Collateral
may be reasonably necessary to protect the Collateral against the rights, claims
or interests of third persons, and will otherwise preserve the Collateral as
security hereunder. The specific undertakings required of Debtor in this
Agreement shall not be construed to exclude the aforementioned general
obligation.
6. Power of Attorney. Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and
-----------------
appoints the Commission and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of
substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of Debtor and in the name of Debtor
or in its own name, from time to time in the Commission's discretion, for the
purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement and, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, to take any and all appropriate actions and to execute any
and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. Such appointment is a power coupled
with an interest until all Obligations have been paid in full by Debtor.
7. Event of Default. Debtor shall be in default under this Agreement
----------------
if an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) has occurred.
8. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur, the Commission shall
--------
thereafter have the following rights and remedies (to the extent permitted by
applicable law) in addition to the rights and remedies relating to the Note, all
such remedies being cumulative, not exclusive, and enforceable alternatively,
successively or concurrently at such time or times as Commission deems
expedient:
(a) the License shall be automatically canceled pursuant to 47 C.F.R.

-4-
<PAGE>
with respect to any Collateral which may be held by it hereunder;
(d) Debtor hereby acknowledges the Commission's authority, pursuant to
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the Commission's orders and
regulations then-applicable to such licenses, to conduct another public auction
or assign the License in the event that the Commission rescinds, cancels, or
revokes the License for any default under this Agreement or any other violation
of the terms and conditions of the License. The Undersigned hereby waives all
notices prior to the conduct of said public auction or assignment by the
Commission or its agents. Debtor further acknowledges that in the event that the
Commission rescinds, cancels, or revokes the License for any default under this
Agreement or any other violation of the terms and conditions of the License,
Debtor has no right or interest in any moneys or evidence of indebtedness given
to the Commission by a subsequent licensee of the Spectrum and that all such
moneys or evidence of indebtedness are, and shall remain, the full property of
the federal Treasury, pursuant to Section 309(j) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, and then-applicable Commission orders and regulations.
(e) In addition to other remedies hereunder, Debtor shall remain
liable, and obligated to pay on demand, all costs of collection and reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses incurred or paid by the Commission in enforcing
this Agreement including, without limitation, all administrative fees and

proceeding related to the subject matter of this Agreement, and all payments
assessed by the Commission in the event of default as specified in Commission
orders and regulations applicable to such licenses.
(f) Debtor hereby acknowledges that the Commission has no adequate
remedy at law with respect to a breach of any covenant contained in this
Agreement and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained
in this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable against Debtor, and Debtor
hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for
specific performance of such covenants.
(g) Secured Party may exercise any and all of the rights and remedies
conferred upon Secured Party by this Agreement, any other loan documents, or by
applicable law, either concurrently or in such order as Secured Party may
determine.
(h) Secured Party may make such payments and do such acts as Secured
Party may deem necessary to protect its secured interest in the Collateral.
(i) the Commission may exercise any remedies of a Secured Party under
the Uniform Commercial Code (Official Text and Comments, American Law
Institute), or any other applicable law.
(j) Secured Party shall have the right to enforce one or more remedies
hereunder or under the Note, successively or concurrently, and such action shall
not operate to estop or prevent Secured Party from pursuing any further remedy
which it may have.
9. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
------------
unenforceable
-5-
<PAGE>
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.
10. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. None of the terms or provisions of
------------------------------
this Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an
instrument in writing, duly executed by the Commission. The Commission shall not
by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its
rights or remedies under this Agreement, and no waiver shall be valid unless in
writing, signed by the Commission, and then only to the extent therein set
forth. A waiver by the Commission of any right or remedy under this Agreement on
any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which
the Commission would otherwise have on any future occasion. No failure to
exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Commission, any right,
power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this
Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this
Agreement are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
11. Compliance With Other Applicable Orders and Regulations. Debtor
-------------------------------------------------------
recognizes that its continued retention of the License, and rights to operate as
a Commission licensee thereunder, are conditioned upon compliance with all
Commission orders and regulations applicable to the License and the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Debtor further recognizes that full and
timely payment as set forth in the Note does not otherwise relieve it of its
obligations otherwise to comply with the then-applicable orders and regulations
of the Commission, and the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
12. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
--------------
in accordance with Communications Act of 1934, as amended, then-applicable
Commission orders and regulations, as amended, and federal law.
13. Successors, Assigns, Designated Agents. Subject to the provisions
--------------------------------------
of Paragraph 2 of this Agreement regarding the restriction upon Debtor's ability
to assign the License, this Agreement shall be binding upon Debtor, its
successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Commission, and its
successors and assigns. The Commission may designate agents other than the
Commission to act on its behalf with respect to any and all rights and remedies
of the Commission under this Agreement or the Note, and such designee shall have
all of the rights, powers and remedies available to the Commission within the
scope of its designation. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed as
granting Debtor any right to sell or assign the License.
14. Singular and Plural. Wherever used, the singular number shall
-------------------
include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the use of any
gender shall be applicable to all genders.
15. Financing Statements. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
--------------------
Debtor authorizes the Commission to sign and file financing statements at any
time with respect to any
-6-
<PAGE>
of the Collateral without the signature of Debtor. Debtor will, however, at the
same time and from time to time, execute such financing statements, agreements
and other instruments and perform such acts as Commission may request in order
to establish and maintain a validly perfected first priority security interest
in the Collateral. All reasonable costs of filing and recording will be paid by
Debtor.
16. Indemnification. Debtor hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and
---------------
hold harmless Secured Party and its employees, officers and agents, from and
against any and all liabilities, claims and obligations which may be incurred,
asserted or imposed upon them or any of them as a result of or in connection
with any use, operation, lease or consumption of any of the Collateral or as a
result of Secured Party's seeking to obtain performance of any of the
obligations due with respect to the Collateral.
17. Notices. All notices, requests and demands hereunder shall be in
-------
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given, made or served on the
earliest of (i) three (3) business days after the date mailed if sent by first-
class U.S. mail, postage prepaid, (ii) actual delivery thereof if delivered by
hand to the party to be notified, (iii) receipt thereof if sent by express mail
or other overnight courier service, or (iv) transmission to the telecopier

FIRST MODIFICATION OF
--------------------
INSTALLMENT PAYMENT PLAN NOTE
-----------------------------
FOR BROADBAND PCS C BLOCK
-------------------------
THIS FIRST MODIFICATION OF INSTALLMENT PAYMENT PLAN NOTE ("First
Modification") is executed on the 21st day of July, 1998, and is intended to be
effective for all purposes as of the 31st day of July, 1998 ("Effective Date"),
by and between: (i) WIRELESS 2000, INC., A Louisiana Corporation ("Maker"); and
(ii) FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION, an independent regulatory agency of the
United States ("Payee" or "Commission").
W I T N E S S E T H:
--------------------
RECITALS:
- --------
R-1. Reference is made to that certain Installment Payment Plan Note made
by Maker, payable to the order of the Commission, in the original principal
amount of $4,707,517.50 ("Original Note"). The Original Note is secured by,
amongst other things (i) that certain Security Agreement by and between the
Maker and the Commission ("Security Agreement"); and (ii) those certain
Financing Statements related thereto (collectively, "Financing Statements"). The
Original Note, Security Agreement, Financing Statements and all other documents
evidencing, governing or securing the Original Note, together with any and all
amendments, modifications or supplements thereto, are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Loan Documents". All of the terms, conditions and provisions
of the Loan Documents are hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof in
their entireties by this reference.
R-2. The Security Agreement and Financing Statements created a first lien
security interest in the "License" and the "Collateral" (as those terms are
defined in the Security Agreement).
R-3. Pursuant to that certain Public Notice, DA 97-649 (rel. March 31,
1997) ("Suspension Order"), the Commission suspended the deadline for payment of
installment payments required to be made under the Original Note. Pursuant to
that certain Second Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making
adopted September 25, 1997 and released October 16, 1997 ("Second Report and
Order"), the Commission rescinded the Suspension Order and ordered the
reinstatement of payments under the Original Note effective March 31, 1998 and
agreed to a schedule of payment of all accrued and unpaid interest due under the
Original Note. The Second Report and Order was subsequently modified by that
certain Order on Reconsideration of the Second Report and Order adopted March
23, 1998 and released March 24, 1998 ("Order on Reconsideration"). Pursuant to
the Order on Reconsideration and the Public Notice, DA-98-741 (rel. April 17,
1998), the date for the resumption of payments under the Original Note was
changed to July 31, 1998 as well as certain other modifications to the
-9-
<PAGE>
terms contained in the Second Report and Order.
R-4. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Report and Order, as modified by
the Order of Reconsideration, the Maker elected to disaggregate a portion of the
spectrum covered by the License and in return, receive a partial reduction of
the principal balance of the Original Note (the "Disaggregation Election"). In
order to reflect the Disaggregation Election, the modification to the payment
terms with respect to "Suspension Interest" and "Deferred Interest" (as those
terms are defined below), and certain other modifications to the terms of the
Original Note and Original Security Agreement, (i) Maker and the Commission are
modifying the terms of the Original Note by this First Modification (the
Original Note, as modified by this First Modification, is hereinafter referred
to as the "Note"), (ii) Maker and the Commission are modifying the terms of the
Original Security Agreement by this First Modification (the Original Security
Agreement, as modified by this First Modification, is hereinafter referred to as
the "Security Agreement"), and (iii) Maker is executing and delivering new
Financing Statements for the purpose of creating a lien on the "Modified
License" (as hereinafter defined) in favor of the Commission (the "New Financing
Statements") [the Original Financing Statements, as supplemented by the New
Financing Statements, are hereinafter referred to as the "Financing
Statements"]. The Original Loan Documents, as amended, modified and/or
supplemented by this First Modification and the New Financing Statements,
together with any and all amendments, modifications or supplements thereto, are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Loan Documents". All of the terms,
conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents are hereby incorporated herein
and made a part hereof in their entireties by this reference.
R-5. It is the intention of the Maker and the Payee that except as
specifically modified by this First Modification, the Original Note and Original
Security Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein
contained, the sum of Ten dollars ($10.00) and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
undersigned parties hereby covenant and agree and amend the Original Note as
follows:
1. The foregoing Recitals, including all terms defined therein, are hereby
incorporated in this First Modifications in the same extent as if they had been
herein stated in full. The documents referred to in the Original Note shall
include the documents referred to therein, as well as any and all modifications,
amendments, additions and/or supplements thereto and/or replacements thereof.
2. This First Modification shall amplify and modify where specifically
provided herein but shall not replace the Original Note. Except as specifically
modified herein, all the terms, conditions and obligations of the Original Note
shall remain in full force and effect, and all of the rights and remedies
provided for therein shall be preserved to the Commission. If there is any
conflict between the provisions of the First Modification and the provisions of
the Original Note, the provisions of this First Modification shall govern and
prevail. THE COMMISSION AND MAKER COVENANT AND AGREE THAT THIS FIRST
MODIFICATION ONLY
-10-
<PAGE>
MODIFIES THE TERMS OF THE ORIGINAL NOTE AND IS NOT A NOTATION OF THE ORIGINAL
NOTE.
3. The Original Security Agreement, as modified by this First
Modification, and the Original Financing Statements, as supplemented by the New
Financing Statements, will continue to encumber the License and Collateral (as
each of those terms are modified in this First Modification) with a first lien
security interest. The Original Note, as modified by this First Modification,
and all extensions, renewals, modifications and amendments and consolidations
thereof or substitutions therefore shall continue to be secured by the Security
Agreement and all other documents, instruments, certifications, security
agreements and financing statements executed and delivered in connection
therewith by the Maker or by its successors. The Original Note and this First
Modification shall be entitled to the benefits of, and to the security required
to be provided by, the aforesaid documents, some of which contain provisions for
the acceleration of the maturity of the Note upon the happening of certain
stated events.
4. Pursuant to the Disaggregation Election, Maker and the
Commission acknowledge and agree that the original principal balance of the
Original Note is hereby reduced, effective for all purposes as of the effective
date of the Original Note, to $2,834,452.50. Such reduced original principal
balance is hereinafter referred to as the "Principal Amount" and the defined
term Principal Amount contained in the Original Note is hereby modified to
conform to the new original principal balance of the Original Note.
5. The Amortization Schedule attached to the Original Note as Schedule A
is hereby deleted in its entirety. All references in the Original Note to
Schedule A are hereby deleted. All payments under the Note shall continue to be
made in accordance with the terms of the Original Note, as modified by the
provisions of this First Modification.
6. Maker and the Commission covenant and agree that pursuant to the terms
of the Suspension Order and the Second Report and Order, interest payments under
the Original Note were suspended for the period effective as of March 31, 1997
through and including March 31, 1998. The entire amount of unpaid interest that
accrued during the period beginning with the grant date of the License through
and including March 31, 1998 is hereinafter referred to as the "Suspension
Interest". All Suspension Interest is to be repaid in eight (8) equal payments
with the first such payment being due on the Effective Date. In addition,
pursuant to the terms of the Order on Reconciliation, (i) all interest accrued
on the Original Note from April 1, 1998 through the Effective Date ("Deferred
Interest") is due and payable in full on the Effective Date, (ii) all payments
under the Note were reinstated as of the Effective Date, and (iii) the schedule
for making quarterly interest and/or principal payments under the Note was
changed to require quarterly payments on October 31, January 31, April 30 and
July 31 of each year without any modification to the amounts for each payment as
provided in the Original Note, with the first such payment being due and payable
on October 31, 1998. Based upon the foregoing, the Original Note is hereby
amended to provide that the payments of interest and principal shall be as
follows:
(a) On the Effective Date, Maker shall make a payment to Payee in the
amount of all
-11-
<PAGE>
Deferred Interest ("Deferred Interest Payment").
(b) On the Effective Date, and continuing on each following October
31, January 31, April 30 and July 31 thereafter until all Suspension Interest
has been paid in full, Maker shall make a payment equal to one-eighth (1/8th) of
the Suspension Interest outstanding as of March 31, 1998 ("Suspension Interest
Payment").
(c) Commencing on October 31, 1998, and continuing on each January
31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 thereafter (such quarterly dates are
hereinafter referred to as the "New Quarterly Payment Dates" or individually a
"New Quarterly Payment Date"), Maker shall make equal, consecutive quarterly
payments of interest only at the "Annual Rate" (as that term is defined in the
Original Note) based upon the reduce Principal Amount as provided herein. On
each New Quarterly Payment Date, all accrued and outstanding interest for the
applicable calendar quarter shall be due and payable in full. The last quarterly
interest only payment shall be due on the New Quarterly Payment Date occurring
immediately prior to the date that the first quarterly payment of principal and
interest is due.
(d) Commencing on the "First Principal Repayment Date" (as
hereinafter defined), and continuing on each New Quarterly Payment Date
thereafter until the "Maturity Date" (as that term is defined in the Original
Note), Maker shall pay principal and interest in equal quarterly installments
equal to all accrued interest during the applicable calendar quarter plus a
principal payment calculated using an amortization schedule which would result
in the Note being repaid in full over a four (4) year term comprised of sixteen
(16) quarterly payment periods. The "First Principal Repayment Date" shall be
(i) the date provided in the Original Note for the first payment of principal
and interest if such date is a New Quarterly Payment Date, or (ii) the first New
Quarterly Payment Date following the date currently provided in the Original
Note for the first payment of principal and interest if the first quarterly
payment of principal and interest required under the Original Note is due on a
day other than one of the New Quarterly Payment Dates.
(e) The Maker and the Commission acknowledge and agree that no
modification is being made to the "Maturity Date" (as that term is defined in
the Original Note) and that the entire "Principal Amount" (as that term is
defined in the Original Note), together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, and all other remaining obligations of Maker under the Note, if not
sooner paid, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
(7) The sixth (6th) paragraph of the Original Note reading "All
interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for actual days
elapsed." is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
Interest on the Principal Amount of this Note shall
be computed at the Annual Rate on the basis of a
three hundred sixty (360)-day year composed of
twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each, except
that interest due and payable for a period of less
than a full quarterly payment period shall be
calculated by dividing the full quarterly payment
by the actual number of calendar days in the
-12-
<PAGE>
applicable quarterly payment period to create a
daily rate that is multiplied by the actual number
of days elapsed since the last day of the previous
quarterly payment period.
(8) If the Suspension Interest Payment and the Deferred Interest
Payment due on the Effective Date are received by the Commission on or before
October 29, 1998, together with any applicable late fee, Maker and the
Commission agree that the paragraphs of the Original Note defining when an
"Event of Default" occurs will be modified by deleting in their entirety the
provisions beginning with the phrase "a non-payment by Maker of any Principal or
Interest on the due date. . ." and continuing through ". . ., Maker has not
resumed payments of Interest and Principal in accordance with the terms of this
Note; or "and replace with the following:
a. Any non-payment by Maker of any Principal and/or Interest
on the due date specified hereinabove, and the failure to make
such payment, together with all applicable "Late Fees" (as
hereinafter defined) within one hundred eighty (180) days after
such Principal and/or Interest payment due date; or
(9) The Original Note is hereby amended to provide that in addition
to the Events of Default listed therein, as modified by this First Modification,
it shall be an Event of Default under the Note if either the Suspension Interest
Payment due on the Effective Date or the Deferred Interest Payment due on the
Effective Date is not received by the Commission on or before October 29, 1998.
No additional grace or cure period shall be applicable to such payment. All
other payments of Suspension Interest shall be subject to the same terms and
conditions as the remaining Principal and/or Interest payments under the Note.
(10) The paragraph of the Original Note which imposes a late fee upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default is hereby modified by deleting in its
entirety the sentence reading "Upon any Event of Default under this Note, Payee
may assess a late fee and/or administrative charge, plus the costs of
collection, litigation, attorneys' fees, and default payment as specified in the
then-applicable orders and regulations of the Commission as amended, and Maker
acknowledges that it is liable and herein expressly promises to pay on demand
such additional costs, expenses, late charges, administrative charges, attorneys
fees, and default payment." and substituting in its place the following:
Should any payment of Principal and/or
Interest required under this Note not be paid in
full on the due date as specified hereinabove,
Maker acknowledges that the Payee will incur extra
expenses for the handling of the delinquent payment
and servicing the indebtedness evidenced hereby,
and that the exact amount of theses extra expenses
is extremely difficult and impractical to
ascertain. Therefore, Maker shall, in such event,
without further notice, and without prejudice to
the right of the Payee to collect any other amounts
provided to be paid hereunder or under the Security
Agreement, or to declare an Event of Default, pay
to the
-13-
<PAGE>
Commission the "Late Fee" (as hereinafter defined)
to compensate Payee for expenses incurred in
handling delinquent payments and the Maker confirms
and agrees that the Late Fee is a fair
approximation of the expenses so incurred by the
Payee. The "Late Fee" is defined as the total, if
any, of the "Non-Delinquency Late Fee" and the
"Grace Period Late Fee" (as hereinafter defined).
The "Non-Delinquency Late Fee" shall be an amount
equal to five percent (5.0%) of any Principal
and/or Interest payment required to be made
hereunder and shall be automatically assessed if
such payment is not made on the original date that
such Principal and/or Interest Payment is due
(without the benefit of any notice of grace
period). If such Principal and/or Interest payment,
together with the Non-Delinquency Late Fee, is not
made on or before the ninetieth (90th)-day after
the original date that such Principal and/or
Interest payment was due, such payment shall
automatically be subject to a second late fee (the
"Grace Period Late Fee") equal to ten percent
(10.0%) of the amount of such past due Principal
and/or Interest Payment (without the benefit of any
notice or grace period) in addition to the Non-
Delinquency Late Fee.
In addition to the foregoing, there shall also
automatically be imposed on Maker, and Maker shall
pay to the Commission without further notice, and
without prejudice to the right of the Payee to
collect any other amounts provided to be paid
hereunder or under the Security Agreement, or to
declare an Event of Default, the "Resumption Date
Late Fee" (as hereinafter defined ) to compensate
Payee for expense incurred in handling delinquent
payment of the Suspension Interest Payment due on
the Effective Date and/or the Deferred Interest
Payment. The Maker confirms and agrees that the
Resumption Date Late Fee is a fair approximation of
the expenses so incurred by the Payee. The
"Resumption Date Late Fee" shall be an amount equal
to (i) five percent (5.0%) of the Suspension
Interest Payment due on the Effective Date if such
payment is not received by the Payee on the
Effective Date (without the benefit of any notice
or grace period), and (ii) five percent (5.0%) of
the Deferred Interest Payment due on the Effective
Date if such payment is not received by the Payee
on the Effective Date (without the benefit of any
notice or grace period).
Maker and Payee agree that all references in the Original Note to a late fee
shall be deemed to be a reference to the Late Fee and/or the Resumption Date
Late Fee, as applicable.
(11) Pursuant to the Disaggregation Election, the Maker has returned
to the Commission one-half (1/2) of the spectrum represented by the License and
retained the right to
-14-
<PAGE>
use the remaining one-half (1/2) of the spectrum represented by the License. In
order to evidence the license for the retained spectrum, the Commission has
issued an amended license to the Maker, license number PBB304C1 (herein referred
to as the "Modified License"). Maker and the Commission covenant and agree that
all references in the Original Security Agreement to "License" shall be deemed
to refer to the License, as modified by the Modified License, and all references
in the Original Security Agreement to "Collateral" shall be deemed to refer to
all of the Maker's rights and interest in the License, as modified by the
Modified License, and all proceeds, profits and products of any sale or other
disposition thereof. In order to confirm the continuing lien, operation and
effect of the Security Agreement on the License, as modified by the Modified
License, and the Collateral, Maker does hereby regrant and reconvey unto the
Commission, its successors and assigns, a security interest in the License, as
modified by the Modified License, together with all other rights and property
granted to the Commission pursuant to the terms of the Original Security
Agreement. The foregoing grant by Maker shall be deemed to be a grant and
conveyance of a security interest upon all of the terms and conditions contained
in the Original Security Agreement without the necessity of repeating the
Original Security Agreement herein in its entirety.
12. Maker represents and warrants that its principal place of
business and chief executive office is located at Marksville, Louisiana.
13. All defined terms contained in the Loan Documents shall have the
same meaning as set forth therein except as may otherwise be expressly set forth
in this First Modification. Maker and the Commission covenant and agree that the
reference in the Security Agreement to the "Note" shall be deemed a reference to
the Original Note, as modified by this First Modification.
14. This First Modification constitutes the entire agreement
regarding the amendment and modification of the Original Note between Maker and
the Commission and is intended by Maker and the Commission to be a complete,
exclusive and final integration of all prior and contemporaneous agreements and
negotiations of Maker and the Commission concerning the amendment and
modification of the Original Note. There have been no other agreements,
covenants, representations or warranties between the Maker and the Commission
regarding the amendment and modification of the Original Note other than those
expressly stated or referred to in this First Modification or any document
delivered pursuant hereto.
15. This First Modification may be amended or modified only by
written instruments signed by Maker and Commission. If any covenant, condition
or provision of this First Modification is declared by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid and not binding on the Maker and/or the Commission,
such declaration shall in no way affect the validity of the other remaining
covenants, conditions and provisions of this First Modification.
16. This First Modification shall bind, inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by Maker and the Commission, their respective heirs,
beneficiaries, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
17. Except as modified by this First Modification, Maker agrees that
the Original
-15-
<PAGE>
Note shall continue in full force and effect without modification, and the
Original Note and all of the other Loan Documents are hereby expressly approved,
ratified, confirmed and reaffirmed by all parties to this First Modification.
Maker hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has no claims, counterclaims, set-
offs, defenses or other causes of action against the Commission and/or under the
Note, Security Agreement or nay of the other Loan Documents and to the extent
that any such set-offs, counterclaims, defenses or other causes of action may
exist, whether known or unknown, they are hereby waived and forever relinquished
by the Maker.
18. This First Modification shall be governed and construed in
accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended from time to time,
the then applicable orders and regulations of the Commission and federal law.
19. This First Modification may be executed in counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall collectively
be deemed to constitute a single document.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, intending to be legally bound, the undersigned
Maker and the Commission have each executed this First Modification, under seal,
as of the day and year first hereinabove written.

orders and regulations of the Commission, as amended, and that the sanctions and
enforcement authority of the Commission shall remain applicable in the event of
a failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the license, regardless of
the enforceability of this Note or the Security Agreement.
No delay or omission on the part of Payee in exercising any right under
this Note, the Security Agreement, or any other instrument securing this Note,
shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right of Payee, nor
shall any waiver by Payee of any such right or rights on any one occasion be
deemed a bar to or waiver of the same right or rights on any future occasion.
The Maker is liable for all costs of collection or enforcement of the
Payee's rights under this Note or under the Security Agreement or under any
other instrument now or hereafter executed by Maker in favor of Payee which in
any manner evidences or constitutes additional security for this Note, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, whether suit is brought or not, and all such costs
shall be paid by the Maker on demand, and whether or not such collection or
enforcement occurs in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other
proceedings involving creditors' rights or involving a claim under this Note or
any of the other loan documents.
Maker, all endorsers and guarantors hereof and any other party who may
become liable for all or any part of the obligation evidenced hereby, waive
presentment for payment, notice or dishonor, protest and notice of protest,
notice of nonpayment and any and all lack of diligence or delays in collection
or enforcement of this Note.
Maker may prepay all or any part of the Principal Amount without premium or
penalty upon ten (10) days' prior written notice to Payee, given in the manner
provided in the Security Agreement.
Partial prepayments shall not postpone or reduce regular payments to be
made hereunder. All such prepayments shall be applicable first to the payment of
late charges, if any, costs and expenses, and administrative penalties due
hereunder, then to accrued and unpaid interest, then to that portion of the
unpaid Principal Amount due on the Maturity Date and then, if applicable, to any
unpaid installments of principal in the inverse order of installment maturities.
The Payee may require that any partial prepayments be made on the dates
installments of principal and interest are due hereunder.
<PAGE>
Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, Payee shall not charge, take or
receive, and Maker shall not be obligated to pay to Payee, any amounts
constituting interest on the Principal Amount in excess of the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law. If by reason of the acceleration of the unpaid
Principal Amount or otherwise, interest in excess of the highest legal contract
rate permitted by applicable law shall at any time be paid, any such excess
shall constitute and be treated as a payment of outstanding principal hereunder
and shall operate to reduce such outstanding Principal Amount.

AGREEMENT, OR OTHER DOCUMENTS EVIDENCING OR SECURING THE DEBT TRANSACTION
EVIDENCED HEREBY MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE

SECTION AGREEMENT
(Broadband Personal Communications Service, C Block): Auction Event No. 5)
License No. PBB238C
-------
This SECURITY AGREEMENT DATED September 17, 1996, ("Agreement") between
Wireless 2000, Inc., a CORPORATION ("Debtor") and the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION, an independent regulatory agency of the United States ("Commission"
or "Secured Party")
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, Debtor has submitted the highest accepted bid for license number
PBB238C in the Broadband Personal Communications Service C Block auction
(hereinafter the "License") conducted by the Commission to assign such licenses;
WHEREAS, the Commission has duly determined to grant the License to Debtor,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the orders and regulations of
the Commission applicable to such licenses, and the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended;
WHEREAS, Debtor wishes to pay its auction price for the License by
installments through an Installment Payment Plan as provided by 47 C.F.R. ss.ss.
24.711, 1.2110 (hereinafter the "Installment Payment Plan") and undertakes to
hold the License under the terms and conditions set forth in the Commission's
orders and regulations, as amended, applicable to such licenses, and the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended and the terms and conditions of this
Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Commission has agreed to permit the Debtor to make payment of
the auction price for the License through an Installment Payment Plan; and
WHEREAS, as a condition to such agreement, Debtor has agreed to execute the
Installment Payment Plan Note of even date ("Note") and to enter into this
Agreement and make the pledge and assignment of collateral contemplated herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual agreements
contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt,
adequacy, and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and in order to
induce the Commission to permit Debtor to pay the auction price for the License
through the Installment Payment Plan, Debtor hereby agrees with the Commission
as follows:
1. Pledge and Assignment of Collateral of Obligations Under Note. Debtor
-------------------------------------------------------------
hereby pledges, assigns, hypothecates, delivers, and sets over to the Commission
and grants to the Commission a first lien on and continuing security interest in
all of the Debtor's rights and
<PAGE>
interest in the License and all proceeds, profits and products of any sale of or
other disposition thereof (collectively the "Collateral"), all as collateral
security for the prompt and complete payment when due (whether in accordance
with the schedule of payments, at the stated maturity, by acceleration, or
otherwise) of the unpaid principal and interest due, and such other additional
costs, expenses, late charges, administrative charges, attorneys fees, and
default payments assessable under the terms of the Note (all collectively
"Obligations"). It is expressly understood by Debtor that all of the terms of
the Note apply to this Agreement and that reference herein to "this Agreement"
includes both the Security Agreement herein and the Note. For purposes of
interpreting the terms used in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to
them in the Uniform Commercial Code (Official Text and Comments, American Law
Institute).
2. Interest of Commission. It is understood and acknowledged by Debtor that
----------------------
pursuant to Section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, the
Commission is charged with the regulatory mandate to maintain control over all
channels of radio transmission (the "Spectrum"), and to provide licenses for the
use of such radio channels, but not ownership thereof. Debtor understands and
acknowledges that it holds a mere conditional license to use the Spectrum with
no ownership interest in the Collateral (or any underlying right to use the
Spectrum), or any power to assign the License without the prior Approval of the
Commission pursuant to Section 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended. Debtor further understands and acknowledges that it is giving a
security interest to the Commission in the Collateral only to assist the
Commission in protecting its ability to enforce the Commission's regulations
which condition holding the license in compliance with all then-applicable
orders and regulations of the Commission, including, but not limited to, full
and timely payment of all payments under the Installment Payment Plan. To that
end, and not in derogation of any of the Commission's regulatory authority over
the License, Debtor hereby acknowledges that the Commission has a first security
interest in the Collateral, and Debtor shall not dispute such first security
interest, or the Commission's rights as a secured party hereunder, in any legal
or equitable proceeding in which Debtor, or any assignee or trustee of the
estate of Debtor in bankruptcy, is a party.
3. Compliance with Commission Orders and Regulations. Nothing in this
-------------------------------------------------
Agreement shall be deemed to modify any then-applicable orders and regulations
of the Commission, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to release
Debtor from compliance therewith.
4. Representations and Warranties of Debtor. Debtor represents and warrants
----------------------------------------
to the Commission as follows:
(a) It has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and
perform this Agreement, the Note, and any other documents delivered in
connection with the Note, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
therein to make the debt transaction evidenced by the Note, and to pledge the
Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) It is a duly organized CORPORATION existing in good standing under the
laws of LOUISIANA and is duly qualified to do business wherever necessary to

(c) The representative of Debtor purporting to act on behalf of Debtor in
executing this Agreement, the Note, and any other documents delivered in
connection with the Note, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
therein, is duly authorized by Debtor to take all such acts and to execute all
such documents.
(d) No security agreements have been executed and delivered, and no
financing statements have been filed in any jurisdiction, granting or purporting
to grant a security interest in the Collateral to any secured party except to
the Commission.
(e) No consent of any other party and no consent, license, approval or
authorization of, exemption by, or registration or declaration with, any
governmental instrumentality, domestic or foreign other than the Commission, is
required to be obtained in connection with the execution, delivery or
performance of this Agreement, the Note or any other document executed and
delivered in connection with the delivery of the Note or this Agreement.
(f) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
Note, does not and will not violate any provision of any applicable law or
regulation or any order, judgment, writ, award or decree of any court,
arbitrator, governmental instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or of any
indenture, contract, agreement or other undertaking to which Debtor is a party
or which purports to be binding upon Debtor or upon any of Debtor's assets, and
will not result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance
on or security interest in any of the assets of Debtor, except as contemplated
by this Agreement.
(g) All right and interest of any kind in and to the Collateral is held by
Debtor or the Commission and by no other party, and the Collateral is free from
any lien, security interest, encumbrance or adverse claim of any kind whatsoever
thereon. Debtor will not permit any financing statement to be filed with respect
to the Collateral or any portion thereof or interest therein except in favor of
Secured Party. Debtor will notify Secured Party of, and will defend the
Collateral against, all claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming
the same or any interest therein.
5. Covenants of Debtor. Debtor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
-------------------
(a) That it will defend the Commission's right, title and security
interest in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands of all persons
whomsoever.
(b) That it will execute all financing statements and other instruments or
documents related to the perfection of the Commission's security interest,
including but not limited to any renewal financing statements or instruments as
required to maintain the Commission's security interest, or as otherwise
reasonably requested by the Commission, and to file and pay the cost of filing
any such instruments or documents as required under this paragraph in whichever
public office deemed advisable by the Commission.
(c) That it will not make any indenture, contract, agreement or other
undertaking to
<PAGE>
which Debtor is a party or which purports to be binding upon Debtor, or upon any
of Debtor's assets, that would result in the creation or imposition of any lien,
charge or encumbrance on or security interest in any of the assets of Debtor
that would be inconsistent with its pledge and assignment of the Collateral
hereunder, except as contemplated by this Agreement. Except for the liens and
encumbrances created hereby, Debtor will keep the Collateral free and clear of
any lien, security interest or encumbrance.
(d) That it will pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, of the Commission incurred in connection with the enforcement
of this Agreement and any and all liability incurred by the Commission resulting
from any act or omission of Debtor with respect to the Collateral and this
Agreement.
(e) Debtor will execute, alone or with Secured Party, any document, will
procure any document and do all other acts and pay all connected costs, in a
timely and proper manner, which from the character or use of the Collateral may
be reasonably necessary to protect the Collateral against the rights, claims or
interests of third persons, and will otherwise preserve the Collateral as
security hereunder. The specific undertakings required of Debtor in this
Agreement shall not be construed to exclude the aforementioned general
obligation.
6. Power of Attorney. Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints
-----------------
the Commission and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of
substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of Debtor and in the name of Debtor
or in its own name, from time to time in the Commission's discretion, for the
purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement and, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, to take any and all appropriate actions and to execute any
and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. Such appointment is a power coupled
with an interest until all Obligations have been paid in full by Debtor.
7. Event of Default. Debtor shall be in default under this Agreement if an
----------------
Event of Default (as defined in the Note) has occurred.
8. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur, the Commission shall
--------
thereafter have the following rights and remedies (to the extent permitted by
applicable law) in addition to the rights and remedies relating to the Note, all
such remedies being cumulative, not exclusive, and enforceable alternatively,
successively or concurrently at such time or times as Commission deems
expedient:
(a) the License shall be automatically canceled pursuant to 47 C.F.R. ss.
1.2110;
(b) all Obligations; secured hereunder shall become immediately due and
payable without presentment, demand, protest, further notice, or other
requirements of any kind;
(c) the Commission may demand, sue for, and collect the outstanding
balance of the unpaid Obligations, and make any compromise, or settlement the
Commission deems suitable with respect to any Collateral which may be held by it
hereunder;
<PAGE>
(d) Debtor hereby acknowledges the Commission's authority, pursuant to the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the Commission's orders and
regulations then-applicable to such licenses, to conduct another public auction
or assign the License in the event that the Commission rescinds, cancels, or
revokes the License for any default under this Agreement or any other violation
of the terms and conditions of the License. The Undersigned hereby waives all
notices prior to the conduct of said public auction or assignment by the
Commission or its agents. Debtor further acknowledges that in the event that the
Commission rescinds, cancels, or revokes the License for any default under this
Agreement or any other violation of the terms and conditions of the License,
Debtor has no right or interest in any moneys or evidence of indebtedness given
to the Commission by a subsequent licensee of the Spectrum and that all such
moneys or evidence of indebtedness are, and shall remain, the full property of
the federal Treasury, pursuant to Section 309(j) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, and then-applicable Commission orders and regulations.
(e) In addition to other remedies hereunder, Debtor shall remain liable,
and obligated to pay on demand, all costs of collection and reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses incurred or paid by the Commission in enforcing
this Agreement including, without limitation, all administrative fees and
expenses of the Commission in attempting to collect the Obligations or to
enforce this Agreement, or the prosecution or defense of any action or
proceeding related to the subject matter of this Agreement, and all payments
assessed by the Commission in the event of default as specified in Commission
orders and regulations applicable to such licenses.
(f) Debtor hereby acknowledges that the Commission has no adequate remedy
at law with respect to a breach of any covenant contained in this Agreement and,
as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this
Agreement shall be specifically enforceable against Debtor, and Debtor hereby
waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific
performance of such covenants.
(g) Secured Party may exercise any and all of the rights and remedies
conferred upon Secured Party by this Agreement, any other loan documents, or by
applicable law, either concurrently or in such order as Secured Party may
determine.
(h) Secured Party may make such payments and do such acts as Secured Party
may deem necessary to protect its secured interest in the Collateral.
(i) the Commission may exercise any remedies of a Secured Party under the
Uniform Commercial Code (Official Text and Comments, American Law Institute), or
any other applicable law.
(j) Secured Party shall have the right to enforce one or more remedies
hereunder or under the Note, successively or concurrently, and such action shall
not operate to estop or prevent Secured Party from pursuing any further remedy
which it may have.
9. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
------------
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition
<PAGE>
or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
10. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. None of the terms or provisions of
------------------------------
this Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an
instrument in writing, duly executed by the Commission. The Commission shall not
by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its
rights or remedies under this Agreement, and no waiver shall be valid unless in
writing, signed by the Commission, and then only to the extent therein set
forth. A waiver by the Commission of any right or remedy under this Agreement on
any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which
the Commission would otherwise have on any future occasion. No failure to
exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Commission, any right,
power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this
Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this
Agreement are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
11. Compliance With Other Applicable Orders and Regulations. Debtor
-------------------------------------------------------
recognizes that its continued retention of the License, and rights to operate as
a Commission licensee thereunder, are conditioned upon compliance with all
Commission orders and regulations applicable to the License and the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Debtor further recognizes that full and
timely payment as set forth in the Note does not otherwise relieve it of its
obligations otherwise to comply with the then-applicable orders and regulations
of the Commission, and the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
12. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
---------------
accordance with Communications Act of 1934, as amended, then-applicable
Commission orders and regulations, as amended, and federal law.
13. Successors, Assigns, Designated Agents. Subject to the provisions of
--------------------------------------
Paragraph 2 of this Agreement regarding the restriction upon Debtor's ability to
assign the License, this Agreement shall be binding upon Debtor, its successors
and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Commission, and its successors
and assigns. The Commission may designate agents other than the Commission to
act on its behalf with respect to any and all rights and remedies of the
Commission under this Agreement or the Note, and such designee shall have all of
the rights, powers and remedies available to the Commission within the scope of
its designation. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed as granting Debtor
any right to sell or assign the License.
14. Singular and Plural. Wherever used, the singular number shall include
-------------------
the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the use of any gender
shall be applicable to all genders.
15. Financing Statements. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
--------------------
Debtor authorizes the Commission to sign and file financing statements at any
time with respect to any of the Collateral without the signature of Debtor.
Debtor will, however, at the same time and from time to time, execute such
financing statements, agreements and other instruments and perform such
<PAGE>
acts as Commission may request in order to establish and maintain a validly
perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral. All reasonable
costs of filing and recording will be paid by Debtor.
16. Indemnification. Debtor hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold
---------------
harmless Secured Party and its employees, officers and agents, from and against
any and all liabilities, claims and obligations which may be incurred, asserted
or imposed upon them or any of them as a result of or in connection with any
use, operation, lease or consumption of any of the Collateral or as a result of
Secured Party's seeking to obtain performance of any of the obligations due with
respect to the Collateral.
17. Notices. All notices, requests and demands hereunder shall be in
-------
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given, made or served on the
earliest of (i) three (3) business days after the date mailed if sent by first-
class U.S. mail, postage prepaid, (ii) actual delivery thereof if delivered by
hand to the party to be notified, (iii) receipt thereof if sent by express mail

FIRST MODIFICATION OF
---------------------
INSTALLMENT PAYMENT PLAN NOTE
-----------------------------
FOR BROADBAND PCS C BLOCK
-------------------------
THIS FIRST MODIFICATION OF INSTALLMENT PAYMENT PLAN NOTE ("First
Modification") is executed on the 21st day of July, 1998, and is intended to be
effective for all purposes as of the 31st day of July, 1998 ("Effective Date"),
by and between: (i) WIRELESS 2000, INC., A Louisiana Corporation ("Maker"); and
(ii) FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION, an independent regulatory agency of the
United States ("Payee" or "Commission").
W I T N E S S E T H:
- - - - - - - - - -
RECITALS:
- --------
R-1. Reference is made to that certain Installment Payment Plan Note made
by Maker, payable to the order of the Commission, in the original principal
amount of $4,731,181.65 ("Original Note"). The Original Note is secured by,
amongst other things (i) that certain Security Agreement by and between the
Maker and the Commission ("Security Agreement"); and (ii) those certain
Financing Statements related thereto (collectively, "Financing Statements"). The
Original Note, Security Agreement, Financing Statements and all other documents
evidencing, governing or securing the Original Note, together with any and all
amendments, modifications or supplements thereto, are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Loan Documents". All of the terms, conditions and provisions
of the Loan Documents are hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof in
their entireties by this reference.
R-2. The Security Agreement and Financing Statements created a first
lien security interest in the "License" and the "Collateral" (as those terms are
defined in the Security Agreement).
R-3. Pursuant to that certain Public Notice, DA 97-649 (rel. March 31,
1997) ("Suspension Order"), the Commission suspended the deadline for payment of
installment payments required to be made under the Original Note. Pursuant to
that certain Second Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making
adopted September 25, 1997 and released October 16, 1997 ("Second Report and
Order"), the Commission rescinded the Suspension Order and ordered the
reinstatement of payments under the Original Note effective March 31, 1998 and
agreed to a schedule of payment of all accrued and unpaid interest due under the
Original Note. The Second Report and Order was subsequently modified by that
certain Order on Reconsideration of the Second Report and Order adopted March
23, 1998 and released March 24, 1998 ("Order on Reconsideration"). Pursuant to
the Order on Reconsideration and the Public Notice, DA-98-741 (rel. April 17,
1998), the date for the resumption of payments under the Original Note was
changed to July 31, 1998 as well as certain other modifications to the
<PAGE>
terms contained in the Second Report and Order.
R-4. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Report and Order, as modified by
the Order of Reconsideration, the Maker elected to continue to operate under the
License and continue making payments under the Original Note in accordance with
its terms, subject to the modification of the payment terms with respect to
"Suspension Interest" and "Deferred Interest" (as those terms are defined
below).
R-5. Pursuant to such election by Maker, Maker and the Commission are
entering into this First Modification for the purpose of modifying the Original
Note to provide for the repayment of all accrued and unpaid interest due under
the Original Note and to make certain other conforming changes to the Original
Note as provided herein. It is the intention of the Maker and the Payee that
except as specifically modified by this First Modification, the Original Note
shall continue in full force and effect.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein
contained, the sum of Ten dollars ($10.00) and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
undersigned parties hereby covenant and agree and amend the Original Note as
follows:
1. The foregoing Recitals, including all terms defined therein, are
hereby incorporated in this First Modifications in the same extent as if they
had been herein stated in full. The documents referred to in the Original Note
shall include the documents referred to therein, as well as any and all
modifications, amendments, additions and/or supplements thereto and/or
replacements thereof.
2. This First Modification shall amplify and modify where specifically
provided herein but shall not replace the Original Note. Except as specifically
modified herein, all the terms, conditions and obligations of the Original Note
shall remain in full force and effect, and all of the rights and remedies
provided for therein shall be preserved to the Commission. If there is any
conflict between the provisions of the First Modification and the provisions of
the Original Note, the provisions of this First Modification shall govern and
prevail. THE COMMISSION AND MAKER COVENANT AND AGREE THAT THIS FIRST
MODIFICATION ONLY MODIFIES THE TERMS OF THE ORIGINAL NOTE AND IS NOT A NOTATION
OF THE ORIGINAL NOTE.
3. The Security Agreement and Financing Statements will continue to
encumber the License and Collateral with a first lien security interest. The
Original Note, as modified by this First Modification (hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Note"), and all extensions, renewals, modifications and
amendments and consolidations thereof or substitutions therefore shall continue
to be secured by the Security Agreement and all other documents, instruments,
certifications, security agreements and financing statements executed and
delivered in connection therewith by the Maker or by its successors. The
Original Note and this First Modification shall be entitled to the benefits of,
and to the security required to be provided by, the aforesaid documents, some of
which contain provisions for the acceleration of the maturity of the Note
<PAGE>
upon the happening of certain stated events.
4. The Amortization Schedule attached to the Original Note as Schedule A
is hereby deleted in its entirety. All references in the Original Note to
Schedule A are hereby deleted. All payments under the Note shall continue to be
made in accordance with the terms of the Original Note, as modified by the
provisions of this First Modification.
5. Maker and the Commission covenant and agree that pursuant to the terms
of the Suspension Order and the Second Report and Order, interest payments under
the Original Note were suspended for the period effective as of March 31, 1997
through and including March 31, 1998. The entire amount of unpaid interest that
accrued during the period beginning with the grant date of the License through
and including March 31, 1998 is hereinafter referred to as the "Suspension
Interest". All Suspension Interest is to be repaid in eight (8) equal payments
with the first such payment being due on the Effective Date. In addition,
pursuant to the terms of the Order on Reconciliation, (i) all interest accrued
on the Original Note from April 1, 1998 through the Effective Date ("Deferred
Interest") is due and payable in full on the Effective Date, (ii) all payments
under the Note were reinstated as of the Effective Date, and (iii) the schedule
for making quarterly interest and/or principal payments under the Note was
changed to require quarterly payments on October 31, January 31, April 30 and
July 31 of each year without any modification to the amounts for each payment as
provided in the Original Note, with the first such payment being due and payable
on October 31, 1998. Based upon the foregoing, the Original Note is hereby
amended to provide that the payments of interest and principal shall be as
follows:
a. On the Effective Date, Maker shall make a payment to Payee in the
amount of all Deferred Interest ("Deferred Interest Payment").
b. On the Effective Date, and continuing on each following October 31,
January 31, April 30 and July 31 thereafter until all Suspension Interest has
been paid in full, Maker shall make a payment equal to one-eighth (1/8th) of the
Suspension Interest outstanding as of March 31, 1998 ("Suspension Interest
Payment").
c. Thereafter, except as provided in Sections 5.a and 5.b above, Maker
shall continue to make interest only payments to the Commission at the "Annual
Rate" (as that term is defined in the Original Note) in equal consecutive
quarterly installments, and principal and interest payments to the Commission in
equal quarterly installments in the amount provided in the Original Note, all as
provided in the Original Note, except for the following modifications:
(i) payments of interest accruing from and after the Effective Date
shall not be due on October 31, January 31, April 30 and July 31 of each
year (such quarterly dates are hereinafter referred to as the "New
Quarterly Payment Dates" or individually a "New Quarterly Payment Date");
(ii) the last quarterly interest only payment shall be due on the
New Quarterly Payment Date occurring immediately prior to the date that the
first payment of principal and interest is due.
<PAGE>
(iii) if the first quarterly payment of principal and interest
required under the Original Note is due on a New Quarterly Payment Date,
the first quarterly payment of principal and interest shall be due on such
New Quarterly Payment Date as provided in the Original Note and thereafter,
Maker shall be required to make its payments of principal and interest in
equal quarterly installments in the amount provided in the Original Note on
each succeeding New Quarterly Payment Date; and
(iv) if the first quarterly payment of principal and interest
required under the Original Note is due on a day other than one of the New
Quarterly Payment Dates, the Original Note is hereby modified to provide
that the first quarterly payment of principal and interest shall be due on
the first New Quarterly Payment Date following the date currently provided
in the Original Note for the first payment of principal and interest and
thereafter, Maker shall be required to make its payments of principal and
interest in equal quarterly installments in the amount provided in the
Original Note on each succeeding New Quarterly Payment Date.
The Maker and the Commission acknowledge and agree that no modification is
being made to the "Maturity Date" (as that term is defined in the Original Note)
and that the entire "Principal Amount" (as that term is defined in the Original
Note), together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other
remaining obligations of Maker under the Note, if not sooner paid, shall be due
and payable on the Maturity Date.
6. The sixth (6th) paragraph of the Original Note reading "All interest
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for actual days elapsed." is
hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
Interest on the Principal Amount of this Note shall be
computed at the Annual Rate on the basis of a three hundred
sixty (360)-day year composed of twelve (12) months of
thirty (30) days each, except that interest due and payable
for a period of less than a full quarterly payment period
shall be calculated by dividing the full quarterly payment
by the actual number of calendar days in the applicable
quarterly payment period to create a daily rate that is
multiplied by the actual number of days elapsed since the
last day of the previous quarterly payment period.
7. If the Suspension Interest Payment and the Deferred Interest Payment
due on the Effective Date are received by the Commission on or before October
29, 1998, together with any applicable late fee, Maker and the Commission agree
that the paragraphs of the Original Note defining when an "Event of Default"
occurs will be modified by deleting in their entirety the provisions beginning
with the phrase "a non-payment by Maker of any Principal or Interest on the due
date. . ." and continuing through ". . ., Maker has not resumed payments of
Interest and Principal in accordance with the terms of this Note; or "and
replace with the following:
a. Any non-payment by Maker of any Principal and/or
Interest on the due date specified hereinabove, and the
failure to
<PAGE>
make such payment, together with all applicable "Late Fees"
(as hereinafter defined) within one hundred eighty (180)
days after such Principal and/or Interest payment due date;
or
8. The Original Note is hereby amended to provide that in addition to the
Events of Default listed therein, as modified by this First Modification, it
shall be an Event of Default under the Note if either the Suspension Interest
Payment due on the Effective Date or the Deferred Interest Payment due on the
Effective Date is not received by the Commission on or before October 29, 1998.
No additional grace or cure period shall be applicable to such payment. All
other payments of Suspension Interest shall be subject to the same terms and
conditions as the remaining Principal and/or Interest payments under the Note.
9. The paragraph of the Original Note which imposes a late fee upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default is hereby modified by deleting in its
entirety the sentence reading "Upon any Event of Default under this Note, Payee
may assess a late fee and/or administrative charge, plus the costs of
collection, litigation, attorneys' fees, and default payment as specified in the
then-applicable orders and regulations of the Commission as amended, and Maker
acknowledges that it is liable and herein expressly promises to pay on demand
such additional costs, expenses, late charges, administrative charges, attorneys
fees, and default payment." and substituting in its place the following:
Should any payment of Principal and/or Interest
required under this Note not be paid in full on the due date
as specified hereinabove, Maker acknowledges that the Payee
will incur extra expenses for the handling of the delinquent
payment and servicing the indebtedness evidenced hereby, and
that the exact amount of theses extra expenses is extremely
difficult and impractical to ascertain. Therefore, Maker
shall, in such event, without further notice, and without
prejudice to the right of the Payee to collect any other
amounts provided to be paid hereunder or under the Security
Agreement, or to declare an Event of Default, pay to the
Commission the "Late Fee" (as hereinafter defined) to
compensate Payee for expenses incurred in handling
delinquent payments and the Maker confirms and agrees that
the Late Fee is a fair approximation of the expenses so
incurred by the Payee. The "Late Fee" is defined as the
total, if any, of the "Non-Delinquency Late Fee" and the
"Grace Period Late Fee" (as hereinafter defined). The "Non-
Delinquency Late Fee" shall be an amount equal to five
percent (5.0%) of any Principal and/or Interest payment
required to be made hereunder and shall be automatically
assessed if such payment is not made on the original date
that such Principal and/or Interest Payment is due (without
the benefit of any notice of grace period). If such
Principal and/or Interest payment, together with the Non-
Delinquency Late Fee, is not made on or before the ninetieth
(90th)-day after the original date that such Principal
<PAGE>
and/or Interest payment was due, such payment shall
automatically be subject to a second late fee (the "Grace
Period Late Fee") equal to ten percent (10.0%) of the amount
of such past due Principal and/or Interest Payment (without
the benefit of any notice or grace period) in addition to
the Non-Delinquency Late Fee.
In addition to the foregoing, there shall also
automatically be imposed on Maker, and Maker shall pay to
the Commission without further notice, and without prejudice
to the right of the Payee to collect any other amounts
provided to be paid hereunder or under the Security
Agreement, or to declare an Event of Default, the
"Resumption Date Late Fee" (as hereinafter defined ) to
compensate Payee for expense incurred in handling delinquent
payment of the Suspension Interest Payment due on the
Effective Date and/or the Deferred Interest Payment. The
Maker confirms and agrees that the Resumption Date Late Fee
is a fair approximation of the expenses so incurred by the
Payee. The "Resumption Date Late Fee" shall be an amount
equal to (i) five percent (5.0%) of the Suspension Interest
Payment due on the Effective Date if such payment is not
received by the Payee on the Effective Date (without the
benefit of any notice or grace period), and (ii) five
percent (5.0%) of the Deferred Interest Payment due on the
Effective Date if such payment is not received by the Payee
on the Effective Date (without the benefit of any notice or
grace period).
Maker and Payee agree that all references in the Original Note to a late fee
shall be deemed to be a reference to the Late Fee and/or the Resumption Date
Late Fee, as applicable.
10. Maker represents and warrants that its principal place of business and
chief executive office is located at Marksville, Louisiana.
11. All defined terms contained in the Loan Documents shall have the same
meaning as set forth therein except as may otherwise be expressly set forth in
this First Modification. Maker and the Commission covenant and agree that the
reference in the Security Agreement to the "Note" shall be deemed a reference to
the Original Note, as modified by this First Modification.
12. This First Modification constitutes the entire agreement regarding the
amendment and modification of the Original Note between Maker and the Commission
and is intended by Maker and the Commission to be a complete, exclusive and
final integration of all prior and contemporaneous agreements and negotiations
of Maker and the Commission concerning the amendment and modification of the
Original Note. There have been no other agreements, covenants, representations
or warranties between the Maker and the Commission regarding the amendment and
modification of the Original Note other than those expressly stated or referred
to
<PAGE>
in this First Modification or any document delivered pursuant hereto.
13. This First Modification may be amended or modified only by
written instruments signed by Maker and Commission. If any covenant, condition
or provision of this First Modification is declared by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid and not binding on the Maker and/or the Commission,
such declaration shall in no way affect the validity of the other remaining
covenants, conditions and provisions of this First Modification.
14. This First Modification shall bind, inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by Maker and the Commission, their respective heirs,
beneficiaries, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
15. Except as modified by this First Modification, Maker agrees
that the Original Note shall continue in full force and effect without
modification, and the Original Note and all of the other Loan Documents are
hereby expressly approved, ratified, confirmed and reaffirmed by all parties to
this First Modification. Maker hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has no
claims, counterclaims, set-offs, defenses or other causes of action against the
Commission and/or under the Note, Security Agreement or nay of the other Loan
Documents and to the extent that any such set-offs, counterclaims, defenses or
other causes of action may exist, whether known or unknown, they are hereby
waived and forever relinquished by the Maker.
16. This First Modification shall be governed and construed in
accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended from time to time,
the then applicable orders and regulations of the Commission and federal law.
17. This First Modification may be executed in counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall collectively
be deemed to constitute a single document.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, intending to be legally bound, the undersigned
Maker and the Commission have each executed this First Modification, under seal,
as of the day and year first hereinabove written.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Wireless 2000, Inc., a CORPORATION
("Maker"), promises to pay to the order of the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION, an independent regulatory agency of the United States ("Payee" or
"Commission"), the principal sum of 5,932,575.00 DOLLARS ("Principal Amount"),

All payments to be made hereunder, of principal, interest, costs, expenses,

without reduction by reason of any present or future income, stamp or other
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, compulsory loans or withholdings
whatsoever,
-2-
<PAGE>
including interest thereon or penalties with respect thereto, if any imposed,
assessed, levied or collected by any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein, on or in respect of this Note or the obligations it
evidences. All payments shall be made during normal business hours at the
Commission's designated lockbox location as set forth from time to time in the
Commission's then-applicable orders and regulations and/or public notices.
This Note is secured by, and entitled to the benefits of, a Security
Agreement (the "Security Agreement") of even date between Maker and Payee. All
the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Security
Agreement are hereby incorporated herein and made part of this Note to the same
extent and effect as if fully set forth herein. It is expressly understood by
Maker that all of the terms of the Security Agreement apply to this Note and
that reference in the Security Agreement to "this Agreement" includes both the
Security Agreement and this Note.
IT IS HEREBY EXPRESSLY AGREED THAT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE FOR THE
PERFORMANCE OF ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNDER THIS NOTE AND THE SECURITY
AGREEMENT.
A default under this Note ("Event of Default") shall occur upon any or all
of the following:
a. non-payment by Maker of any Principal or Interest on the due date as
specified hereinabove if the Maker remains delinquent for more than 90 days and
(1) Maker has not submitted a request, in writing, for a grace period
or extension of payments, if any such grace period or extension
of payments is provided for in the then-applicable orders and
regulations of the Commission; or
(2) Maker has submitted a request, in writing, for a grace period or
extension of payments, if any such grace period or extension of
payments is provided for in the then-applicable orders and
regulations of the Commission, and following the expiration of
the grant of such grace period or extension or upon denial of
such a request for a grace period or extension, Maker has not
resumed payments of Interest and Principal in accordance with the
terms of this Note;
or;
b. failure by Maker to comply with any other condition for holding the
above referenced license (as defined in the Security Agreement) as set forth in
the license or in the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, or the then-
applicable orders and regulations of the Commission; or
-3-
<PAGE>
c. violation by Maker of any other covenant or term of this Note or the
Security Agreement.
Upon any Event of Default under this Note, Payee may assess a late fee and/or
administrative charge, plus the costs of collection, litigation, attorneys'
fees, and default payment as specified in the then-applicable orders and
regulations of the Commission, as amended, and Maker acknowledges that it is
liable and herein expressly promises to pay on demand such additional costs,
expenses, late charges, administrative charges, attorneys fees, and default
payment. Upon a default under this Note, the unpaid Principal Amount, plus all
unpaid interest accrued thereon, together with any late fee and/or
administrative charge, plus the costs of collection, litigation, attorneys'
fees, and default payment as specified in the then-applicable orders and
regulations of the Commission, as amended, shall become immediately due and
payable. The Maker hereby acknowledges that the Commission has issued Maker the
above referenced license pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
that is conditioned upon full and timely payment of financial obligations under
the Commission's installment payment plan, as set forth in the then-applicable
orders and regulations of the Commission, as amended, and that the sanctions and
enforcement authority of the Commission shall remain applicable in the event of
a failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the license, regardless of
the enforceability of this Note or the Security Agreement.
No delay or omission on the part of Payee in exercising any right under
this Note, the Security Agreement, or any other instrument securing this Note,
shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right of Payee, nor
shall any waiver by Payee of any such right or rights on any one occasion be
deemed a bar to or waiver of the same right or rights on any future occasion.
The Maker is liable for all costs of collection or enforcement of the
Payee's rights under this Note or under the Security Agreement or under any
other instrument now or hereafter executed by Maker in favor of Payee which in
any manner evidences or constitutes additional security for this Note, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, whether suit is brought or not, and all such costs
shall be paid by the Maker on demand, and whether or not such collection or
enforcement occurs in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other
proceedings involving creditors' rights or involving a claim under this Note or
any of the other loan documents.
Maker, all endorsers and guarantors hereof and any other party who may
become liable for all or any part of the obligation evidenced hereby, waive
presentment for payment, notice or dishonor, protest and notice of protest,
notice of nonpayment and any and all lack of diligence or delays in collection
or enforcement of this Note.
Maker may prepay all or any part of the Principal Amount without premium or
penalty upon ten (10) days' prior written notice to Payee, given in the manner
provided in the Security Agreement.
-4-
<PAGE>
Partial prepayments shall not postpone or reduce regular payments to be
made hereunder. All such prepayments shall be applicable first to the payment of
late charges, if any, costs and expenses, and administrative penalties due
hereunder, then to accrued and unpaid interest, then to that portion of the
unpaid Principal Amount due on the Maturity Date and then, if applicable, to any
unpaid installments of principal in the inverse order of installment maturities.
The Payee may require that any partial prepayments be made on the dates
installments of principal and interest are due hereunder.
Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, Payee shall not charge, take or
receive, and Maker shall not be obligated to pay to Payee, any amounts
constituting interest on the Principal Amount in excess of the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law. If by reason of the acceleration of the unpaid
Principal Amount or otherwise, interest in excess of the highest legal contract
rate permitted by applicable law shall at any time be paid, any such excess
shall constitute and be treated as a payment of outstanding principal hereunder
and shall operate to reduce such outstanding Principal Amount.

AGREEMENT, OR OTHER DOCUMENTS EVIDENCING OR SECURING THE DEBT TRANSACTION
EVIDENCED HEREBY MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS NOTE AND SECURITY

for any reason be held or deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any

(hereinafter the "License") conducted by the Commission to assign such licenses;
WHEREAS, the Commission has duly determined to grant the License to Debtor,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the orders and regulations of

as amended;
WHEREAS, Debtor wishes to pay its auction price for the License by
installments through an Installment Payment Plan as provided by 47 C.F.R. (SS)
24.711, 1.2110 (hereinafter the "Installment Payment Plan") and undertakes to
hold the License under the terms and conditions set forth in the Commission's

<PAGE>
1. Pledge and Assignment of Collateral of Obligations Under Note.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Debtor hereby pledges, assigns, hypothecates, delivers, and sets over to the
Commission and grants to the Commission a first lien on and continuing security
interest in all of the Debtor's rights and interest in the License and all
proceeds, profits and products of any sale of or other disposition thereof
(collectively the "Collateral"), all as collateral security for the prompt and
complete payment when due (whether in accordance with the schedule of payments,
at the stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise) of the unpaid principal
and interest due, and such other additional costs, expenses, late charges,
administrative charges, attorneys fees, and default payments assessable under
the terms of the Note (all collectively "Obligations"). It is expressly
understood by Debtor that all of the terms of the Note apply to this Agreement
and that reference herein to "this Agreement" includes both the Security
Agreement herein and the Note. For purposes of interpreting the terms used in
this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Uniform Commercial
Code (Official Text and Comments, American Law Institute).
2. Interest of Commission. It is understood and acknowledged by Debtor
----------------------
that pursuant to Section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, the
Commission is charged with the regulatory mandate to maintain control over all
channels of radio transmission (the "Spectrum"), and to provide licenses for the
use of such radio channels, but not ownership thereof. Debtor understands and
acknowledges that it holds a mere conditional license to use the Spectrum with
no ownership interest in the Collateral (or any underlying right to use the
Spectrum), or any power to assign the License without the prior Approval of the
Commission pursuant to Section 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended. Debtor further understands and acknowledges that it is giving a
security interest to the Commission in the Collateral only to assist the
Commission in protecting its ability to enforce the Commission's regulations
which condition holding the license in compliance with all then-applicable
orders and regulations of the Commission, including, but not limited to, full
and timely payment of all payments under the Installment Payment Plan. To that
end, and not in derogation of any of the Commission's regulatory authority over
the License, Debtor hereby acknowledges that the Commission has a first security
interest in the Collateral, and Debtor shall not dispute such first security
interest, or the Commission's rights as a secured party hereunder, in any legal
or equitable proceeding in which Debtor, or any assignee or trustee of the
estate of Debtor in bankruptcy, is a party.
3. Compliance with Commission Orders and Regulations. Nothing in this
-------------------------------------------------
Agreement shall be deemed to modify any then-applicable orders and regulations
of the Commission, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to release
Debtor from compliance therewith.

by this Agreement.

------------
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective

rights or remedies under this Agreement, and no waiver shall be valid unless in
writing, signed by the Commission, and then only to the extent therein set
forth. A waiver by the Commission of any right or remedy under this Agreement on
any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which
the Commission would otherwise have on any future occasion. No failure to
exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Commission, any right,
power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this
Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this
Agreement are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
11. Compliance With Other Applicable Orders and Regulations. Debtor
-------------------------------------------------------
recognizes that its continued retention of the License, and rights to operate as
a Commission licensee thereunder, are conditioned upon compliance with all
Commission orders and regulations applicable to the License and the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Debtor further recognizes that full and
timely payment as set forth in the Note does not otherwise relieve it of its
obligations otherwise to comply with the then-applicable orders and regulations
of the Commission, and the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
12. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
--------------
in accordance with Communications Act of 1934, as amended, then-applicable
Commission orders and regulations, as amended, and federal law.
-13-
<PAGE>
13. Successors, Assigns, Designated Agents. Subject to the provisions
--------------------------------------
of Paragraph 2 of this Agreement regarding the restriction upon Debtor's ability
to assign the License, this Agreement shall be binding upon Debtor, its
successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Commission, and its
successors and assigns. The Commission may designate agents other than the
Commission to act on its behalf with respect to any and all rights and remedies
of the Commission under this Agreement or the Note, and such designee shall have
all of the rights, powers and remedies available to the Commission within the
scope of its designation. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed as
granting Debtor any right to sell or assign the License.
14. Singular and Plural. Wherever used, the singular number shall include
-------------------
the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the use of any gender
shall be applicable to all genders.
15. Financing Statements. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
--------------------

time with respect to any of the Collateral without the signature of Debtor.
Debtor will, however, at the same time and from time to time, execute such
financing statements, agreements and other instruments and perform such acts as
Commission may request in order to establish and maintain a validly perfected
first priority security interest in the Collateral. All reasonable costs of
filing and recording will be paid by Debtor.
16. Indemnification. Debtor hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold
---------------
harmless Secured Party and its employees, officers and agents, from and against
any and all liabilities, claims and obligations which may be incurred, asserted
or imposed upon them or any of them as a result of or in connection with any
use, operation, lease or consumption of any of the Collateral or as a result of
Secured Party's seeking to obtain performance of any of the obligations due with
respect to the Collateral.
17. Notices. All notices, requests and demands hereunder shall be in
-------
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given, made or served on the
earliest of (i) three (3) business days after the date mailed if sent by
first-class U.S. mail, postage prepaid, (ii) actual delivery thereof if
delivered by hand to the party to be notified, (iii) receipt thereof if sent by

Statements"]. The Original Loan Documents, as amended, modified and/or

provided in the Original Note for the first payment of principal and interest if
such date is a New Quarterly Payment Date, or (ii) the first New Quarterly
Payment Date following the date currently provided in the Original Note for the
first payment of principal and interest if the first quarterly payment of
principal and interest required under the Original Note is due on a day other
than one of the New Quarterly Payment Dates.
(e) The Maker and the Commission acknowledge and agree that no
modification is being made to the "Maturity Date" (as that term is defined in
the Original Note) and that the entire "Principal Amount" (as that term is
defined in the Original Note), together with accrued
-19-
<PAGE>
and unpaid interest thereon, and all other remaining obligations of Maker under
the Note, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
(7) The sixth (6th) paragraph of the Original Note reading "All interest
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for actual days elapsed." is
hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
Interest on the Principal Amount of this Note shall be
computed at the Annual Rate on the basis of a three
hundred sixty (360)-day year composed of twelve (12)
months of thirty (30) days each, except that interest due
and payable for a period of less than a full quarterly
payment period shall be calculated by dividing the full
quarterly payment by the actual number of calendar days in
the applicable quarterly payment period to create a daily
rate that is multiplied by the actual number of days
elapsed since the last day of the previous quarterly
payment period.
(8) If the Suspension Interest Payment and the Deferred Interest Payment
due on the Effective Date are received by the Commission on or before October
29, 1998, together with any applicable late fee, Maker and the Commission agree
that the paragraphs of the Original Note defining when an "Event of Default"
occurs will be modified by deleting in their entirety the provisions beginning
with the phrase "a non-payment by Maker of any Principal or Interest on the due
date. . ." and continuing through ". . ., Maker has not resumed payments of
Interest and Principal in accordance with the terms of this Note; or "and
replace with the following:
a. Any non-payment by Maker of any Principal and/or
Interest on the due date specified hereinabove, and
the failure to make such payment, together with all
applicable "Late Fees" (as hereinafter defined) within
one hundred eighty (180) days after such Principal and/or
Interest payment due date; or
(9) The Original Note is hereby amended to provide that in addition to the
Events of Default listed therein, as modified by this First Modification, it
shall be an Event of Default under the Note if either the Suspension Interest
Payment due on the Effective Date or the Deferred Interest Payment due on the
Effective Date is not received by the Commission on or before October 29, 1998.
No additional grace or cure period shall be applicable to such payment. All
other payments of Suspension Interest shall be subject to the same terms and
conditions as the remaining Principal and/or Interest payments under the Note.
(10) The paragraph of the Original Note which imposes a late fee upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default is hereby modified by deleting in its
entirety the sentence reading "Upon any Event of Default under this Note, Payee
may assess a late fee and/or administrative charge, plus the costs of
collection, litigation, attorneys' fees, and default payment as specified in the
-20-
<PAGE>
then-applicable orders and regulations of the Commission as amended, and Maker
acknowledges that it is liable and herein expressly promises to pay on demand
such additional costs, expenses, late charges, administrative charges, attorneys
fees, and default payment." and substituting in its place the following:
Should any payment of Principal and/or Interest
required under this Note not be paid in full on the due
date as specified hereinabove, Maker acknowledges that
the Payee will incur extra expenses for the handling of
the delinquent payment and servicing the indebtedness
evidenced hereby, and that the exact amount of theses
extra expenses is extremely difficult and impractical
to ascertain. Therefore, Maker shall, in such event,
without further notice, and without prejudice to the
right of the Payee to collect any other amounts
provided to be paid hereunder or under the Security
Agreement, or to declare an Event of Default, pay to
the Commission the "Late Fee" (as hereinafter defined)
to compensate Payee for expenses incurred in handling
delinquent payments and the Maker confirms and agrees
that the Late Fee is a fair approximation of the
expenses so incurred by the Payee. The "Late Fee" is
defined as the total, if any, of the "Non-Delinquency
Late Fee" and the "Grace Period Late Fee" (as
hereinafter defined). The "Non-Delinquency Late Fee"
shall be an amount equal to five percent (5.0%) of any
Principal and/or Interest payment required to be made
hereunder and shall be automatically assessed if such
payment is not made on the original date that such
Principal and/or Interest Payment is due (without the
benefit of any notice of grace period). If such
Principal and/or Interest payment, together with the
Non-Delinquency Late Fee, is not made on or before the
ninetieth (90th)-day after the original date that such
Principal and/or Interest payment was due, such payment
shall automatically be subject to a second late fee
(the "Grace Period Late Fee") equal to ten percent
(10.0%) of the amount of such past due Principal and/or
Interest Payment (without the benefit of any notice or
grace period) in addition to the Non-Delinquency Late
Fee.
In addition to the foregoing, there shall also
automatically be imposed on Maker, and Maker shall pay
to the Commission without further notice, and without
prejudice to the right of the Payee to collect any
other amounts provided to be paid hereunder or under
the Security Agreement, or to declare an Event of
Default, the "Resumption Date Late Fee" (as hereinafter
defined ) to compensate Payee for expense incurred in
handling delinquent
-21-
<PAGE>
payment of the Suspension Interest Payment due on the
Effective Date and/or the Deferred Interest Payment. The Maker
confirms and agrees that the Resumption Date Late Fee is a
fair approximation of the expenses so incurred by the Payee.
The "Resumption Date Late Fee" shall be an amount equal to (i)
five percent (5.0%) of the Suspension Interest Payment due on
the Effective Date if such payment is not received by the
Payee on the Effective Date (without the benefit of any notice
or grace period), and (ii) five percent (5.0%) of the Deferred
Interest Payment due on the Effective Date if such payment is
not received by the Payee on the Effective Date (without the
benefit of any notice or grace period).
Maker and Payee agree that all references in the Original Note to a late fee
shall be deemed to be a reference to the Late Fee and/or the Resumption Date
Late Fee, as applicable.
(11) Pursuant to the Disaggregation Election, the Maker has returned to the
Commission one-half (1/2) of the spectrum represented by the License and
retained the right to use the remaining one-half (1/2) of the spectrum
represented by the License. In order to evidence the license for the retained
spectrum, the Commission has issued an amended license to the Maker, license
number PBB304C1 (herein referred to as the "Modified License"). Maker and the
Commission covenant and agree that all references in the Original Security
Agreement to "License" shall be deemed to refer to the License, as modified by
the Modified License, and all references in the Original Security Agreement to
"Collateral" shall be deemed to refer to all of the Maker's rights and interest
in the License, as modified by the Modified License, and all proceeds, profits
and products of any sale or other disposition thereof. In order to confirm the
continuing lien, operation and effect of the Security Agreement on the License,
as modified by the Modified License, and the Collateral, Maker does hereby
regrant and reconvey unto the Commission, its successors and assigns, a security
interest in the License, as modified by the Modified License, together with all
other rights and property granted to the Commission pursuant to the terms of the
Original Security Agreement. The foregoing grant by Maker shall be deemed to be
a grant and conveyance of a security interest upon all of the terms and
conditions contained in the Original Security Agreement without the necessity of
repeating the Original Security Agreement herein in its entirety.
12. Maker represents and warrants that its principal place of business and
chief executive office is located at Marksville, Louisiana.
13. All defined terms contained in the Loan Documents shall have the same
meaning as set forth therein except as may otherwise be expressly set forth in
this First Modification. Maker and the Commission covenant and agree that the
reference in the Security Agreement to the "Note" shall be deemed a reference to
the Original Note, as modified by this First
-22-
<PAGE>
Modification.
14. This First Modification constitutes the entire agreement regarding the
amendment and modification of the Original Note between Maker and the Commission
and is intended by Maker and the Commission to be a complete, exclusive and
final integration of all prior and contemporaneous agreements and negotiations
of Maker and the Commission concerning the amendment and modification of the
Original Note. There have been no other agreements, covenants, representations
or warranties between the Maker and the Commission regarding the amendment and
modification of the Original Note other than those expressly stated or referred
to in this First Modification or any document delivered pursuant hereto.
15. This First Modification may be amended or modified only by written
instruments signed by Maker and Commission. If any covenant, condition or
provision of this First Modification is declared by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid and not binding on the Maker and/or the Commission,
such declaration shall in no way affect the validity of the other remaining
covenants, conditions and provisions of this First Modification.
16. This First Modification shall bind, inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by Maker and the Commission, their respective heirs, beneficiaries,
legal representatives, successors and assigns.
17. Except as modified by this First Modification, Maker agrees that the
Original Note shall continue in full force and effect without modification, and
the Original Note and all of the other Loan Documents are hereby expressly
approved, ratified, confirmed and reaffirmed by all parties to this First
Modification. Maker hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has no claims,
counterclaims, set-offs, defenses or other causes of action against the
Commission and/or under the Note, Security Agreement or nay of the other Loan
Documents and to the extent that any such set-offs, counterclaims, defenses or
other causes of action may exist, whether known or unknown, they are hereby
waived and forever relinquished by the Maker.
18. This First Modification shall be governed and construed in accordance
with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended from time to time, the then
applicable orders and regulations of the Commission and federal law.
19. This First Modification may be executed in counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall collectively be deemed
to constitute a single document.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, intending to be legally bound, the undersigned Maker
and the Commission have each executed this First Modification, under seal, as of
the day and year first hereinabove written.

EXHIBIT 6.5(b)
STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT
This Agreement, dated as of _______________ ___, 199_, is between the
stockholders of Wireless 2000, Inc. ("Wireless") listed on Schedule 1 attached
hereto (together with their respective successors and assigns, each a "Pledgor"
-------
and collectively, the "Pledgors"), and TeleCorp PCS, Inc., a Delaware
--------
corporation ("TeleCorp"). Capitalized terms defined in the Acquisition Agreement
(defined below) and not otherwise defined herein are used herein with the
meanings so defined. Except as the context otherwise explicitly requires, (a)
the word "including" shall be construed as "including without limitation", (b)
terms defined in the UCC and not otherwise defined herein have the meaning
provided under the UCC, (c) references to a particular statute or regulation
include all rules and regulations thereunder and any successor statute,
regulation or rules, in each case as from time to time in effect, and (d)
references to a particular Person include such Person's successors and assigns
to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, TeleCorp and Wireless are parties to that certain license
acquisition agreement dated December 2, 1998 (the "Acquisition Agreement");
WHEREAS, pursuant to (S)6.5 of the Acquisition Agreement, TeleCorp has
agreed to make interest payments to the FCC or the Treasury on behalf of
Wireless that may become due under the FCC Debt prior to Closing (collectively,
"Advances");
WHEREAS, as a condition to the Company's agreement to make Advances and in
order to secure Wireless' repayment of Advances under the Acquisition Agreement
("Repayment") in the event either Wireless or TeleCorp terminates the
Acquisition Agreement, the parties hereto have agreed to execute and deliver
this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained,
the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1. Security.
--------
-34-
<PAGE>
1.1 Collateral. As security for Repayment to TeleCorp by Wireless in the
----------
event either Wireless or TeleCorp terminates the Acquisition Agreement, each
Pledgor mortgages, pledges and collaterally grants and assigns to TeleCorp, and
creates a security interest in favor of TeleCorp, all of such Pledgor's right,
title and interest in and to (but none of its obligations or liabilities with
respect to) the securities set forth opposite of such Pledgor's name on Schedule
1, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, all of which shall be included in
the term "Collateral":
1.1.1 Pledged Stock. (a) All shares of capital stock or other
-------------
evidence of beneficial ownership interest in Wireless, and (b) all options,
warrants and similar rights to acquire such capital stock or interests. All
such capital stock, interests, options, warrants and other rights are
collectively referred to as the "Pledged Stock".
-------------
1.1.2 Pledged Rights. All rights to receive profits or surplus of, or
--------------
other distributions (including income, return of capital and liquidating
distributions). All such rights are collectively referred to as the
"Pledged Rights".
--------------
1.2 Representations, Warranties and Covenants with Respect to Collateral.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Each Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants to TeleCorp that:
1.2.1 Pledged Stock. All shares of capital stock and other securities
-------------
included in the Pledged Stock are and shall be at all times duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and (in the case of capital stock)
non-assessable. Each Pledgor will deliver to TeleCorp certificates
representing the Pledged Stock, registered, if TeleCorp so requests, in the
name of TeleCorp or its nominee, as pledgee, or accompanied by a stock
transfer power executed in blank and, if TeleCorp so requests, with the
signature guaranteed, all in form and manner satisfactory to TeleCorp.
Pledged Stock that is not evidenced by a certificate will be registered in
TeleCorp's name as pledgee on the issuer's records, all in form and
substance satisfactory to TeleCorp. TeleCorp may at any time transfer into
its name or the name of its nominee, as pledgee, any Pledged Stock.
1.2.2 No Liens or Restrictions on Transfer. All Collateral shall be
------------------------------------
free and clear of any Liens and restrictions on the transfer thereof. None
of the Pledged Stock is subject to any option to purchase or similar rights
of any Person.
1.3 Administration of Collateral. The Collateral shall be administered as
----------------------------
follows, and if an Event of Default shall have occurred, Section 1.4 shall also
apply.
1.3.1 Pledged Stock.
-------------
(a) Distributions. Until an Event of Default shall occur,
-------------
each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive all distributions on or with
respect to the Pledged Stock (other than distributions constituting
additional Pledged Stock). All distributions constituting additional
Pledged Stock will be retained by TeleCorp (or if received
-35-
<PAGE>
by any Pledgor shall be held by such Pledgor in trust and shall be
immediately delivered by such Pledgor to TeleCorp in the original form
received, endorsed in blank) and held by TeleCorp as part of the
Collateral.
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred, all
distributions on or with respect to the Pledged Stock shall be
retained by TeleCorp (or if received by any Pledgor shall be held by
such Pledgor in trust and shall be immediately delivered by it to
TeleCorp in the original form received, endorsed in blank) and held by
TeleCorp as part of the Collateral or applied by TeleCorp to the
payment of the Repayment in accordance with Section 1.4.5.
1.3.2 Voting.
------
(a) Until an Event of Default shall occur, each Pledgor shall
be entitled to vote or consent with respect to Pledged Stock in any
manner.
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred, if and to the
extent that TeleCorp shall so notify the Pledgors in writing, only
TeleCorp shall be entitled to vote or consent or take any other action
with respect to the Pledged Stock (and the Pledgors will, if so
requested, execute or cause to be executed appropriate proxies
therefor).
1.4 Right to Realize upon Collateral. Except to the extent prohibited by
--------------------------------
applicable law that cannot be waived, this Section 1.4 shall govern TeleCorp's
right to realize upon the Collateral if any Event of Default shall have
occurred. The provisions of this Section 1.4 are in addition to any rights and
remedies available at law or in equity. Upon an Event of Default, the following
provisions shall apply:
1.4.1 General Authority. To the extent specified in written notice
-----------------
from TeleCorp to the Pledgors, each Pledgor grants TeleCorp full and
exclusive power and authority, subject to the other terms hereof and
applicable law, to take any of the following actions (for the sole benefit
of TeleCorp, but at each Pledgor's expense):
(a) To ask for, demand, take, collect, sue for and receive
all payments in respect of any Pledged Stock which such Pledgor could
otherwise ask for, demand, take, collect, sue for and receive for its
own use.
(b) To settle, compromise, prosecute or defend any action or
proceeding with respect to any Pledged Stock and to enforce all rights
and remedies thereunder which such Pledgor could otherwise enforce.
-36-
<PAGE>
(c) To notify the third party payor with respect to any
Pledged Stock of the existence of the security interest created hereby
and to cause all payments in respect thereof thereafter to be made
directly to TeleCorp; provided, however, that whether or not TeleCorp
-------- -------
shall have so notified such payor, such Pledgor will at its expense
render all reasonable assistance to TeleCorp in collecting such items
and in enforcing claims thereon.
(d) To sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with
any Collateral or the proceeds thereof, as fully as such Pledgor
otherwise could do.
1.4.2 Marshaling. TeleCorp shall not be required to make any demand
----------
upon, or pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies against, the
Pledgors or any other guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect
to the Repayment or to pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies with
respect to any collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee
thereof. TeleCorp shall not be required to marshal the Collateral or to
resort to the Collateral in any particular order, and all of its rights
hereunder shall be cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each
Pledgor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and
advantage of, and covenants not to assert against TeleCorp, any valuation,
stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws now or hereafter
existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of
any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or
privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement or otherwise.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor (a) agrees
that it will not invoke or utilize any law which might prevent, cause a
delay in or otherwise impede the enforcement of the rights of TeleCorp in
the Collateral, (b) waives all such laws, and (c) agrees that it will not
invoke or raise as a defense to any enforcement by TeleCorp of any rights
and remedies relating to the Collateral or any legal or contractual
requirement with which TeleCorp may have in good faith failed to comply. In
addition, each Pledgor waives any right to prior notice (except to the
extent expressly required by this Agreement) or judicial hearing in
connection with foreclosure on or disposition of any Collateral, including
any such right which such Pledgor would otherwise have under the
Constitution of the United States of America, any state or territory
thereof or any other jurisdiction.
1.4.3 Sales of Collateral. All or any part of the Collateral may be
-------------------
sold for cash or other value in any number of lots at public or private
sale, without demand, advertisement or notice; provided, however, that
-------- -------
unless the Collateral to be sold threatens to decline speedily in value or
is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, TeleCorp shall give
the Pledgors 10 days' prior written notice of the time and place of any
public sale, or the time after which a private sale may be made, which
notice each Pledgor and TeleCorp hereby agrees to be reasonable. At any
sale or sales of Collateral, TeleCorp or any of its respective officers
acting on its behalf, or TeleCorp's assigns, may bid for and purchase all
or any part of the property and rights so sold, may use all or any
-37-
<PAGE>
portion of the Repayment as payment for the property or rights so
purchased, and upon compliance with the terms of such sale may hold and
dispose of such property and rights without further accountability to the
Pledgors, except for the proceeds of such sale or sales pursuant to Section
1.4.5. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such sale will be made by
TeleCorp on an "as is" basis with disclaimers of all warranties, whether
express or implied. Each Pledgor will execute and deliver or cause to be
executed and delivered such instruments, documents, assignments, waivers,
certificates and affidavits, will supply or cause to be supplied such
further information and will take such further action as TeleCorp shall
request in connection with any such sale.
1.4.4 Sale without Registration. If, at any time when TeleCorp shall
-------------------------
determine to exercise its rights hereunder to sell all or part of the
securities included in the Collateral, the securities in question shall not
be effectively registered under the Securities Act (or other applicable
law), TeleCorp may, in its sole discretion, sell such securities by private
or other sale not requiring such registration in such manner and in such
circumstances as TeleCorp may deem necessary or advisable in order that
such sale may be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws
without such registration and the related delays, uncertainty and expense.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any event TeleCorp
may, in its sole discretion, (a) approach and negotiate with a single
purchaser or one or more possible purchasers to effect such sale, (b)
restrict such sale to one or more purchasers each of whom will represent
and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such
securities, and (c) cause to be placed on certificates representing the
securities in question a legend to the effect that such securities have not
been registered under the Securities Act (or other applicable law) and may
not be disposed of in violation of the provisions thereof. Each Pledgor
agrees that such manner of disposition is commercially reasonable, that it
will upon TeleCorp's request give any such purchaser access to such
information regarding the issuer of the securities in question as TeleCorp
may reasonably request and that TeleCorp shall not incur any responsibility
for selling all or part of the securities included in the Collateral at any
private or other sale not requiring such registration, notwithstanding the
possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the sale
were deferred until after registration under the Securities Act (or other
applicable law) or until made in compliance with certain other rules or
exemptions from the registration provisions under the Securities Act (or
other applicable law). Each Pledgor acknowledges that no adequate remedy at
law exists for breach by it of this Section 1.4.4 and that such breach
would not be adequately compensable in damages and therefore agrees that
this Section 1.4.4 may be specifically enforced.
1.4.5 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of all sales and
-----------------------
collections in respect of any Collateral or other assets of the Pledgors
all funds collected from the
-38-
<PAGE>
Pledgors and any cash contained in the Collateral, the application of
which is not otherwise specifically provided for herein, shall be applied
as follows:
First, to the Repayment, the payment of the costs and expenses of such
sales and collections, the reasonable expenses of TeleCorp and the reasonable
fees and expenses of its counsel; and
Second, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Pledgors,
subject, however, to the rights of the holder of any then existing Lien of which
TeleCorp has actual notice.
1.5 Custody of Collateral. Except as provided by applicable law that
---------------------
cannot be waived, TeleCorp will have no duty as to the custody and protection of
the Collateral, the collection of any part thereof or of any income thereon or
the preservation or exercise of any rights pertaining thereto, including rights
against prior parties, except for the use of reasonable care in the custody and
physical preservation of any Collateral in its possession. TeleCorp will not be
liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any
diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any agent
selected by TeleCorp acting in good faith.
2. Representations and Warranties. In order to induce TeleCorp to make
------------------------------
Advances under the Acquisition Agreement, each Pledgor represents and warrants
to TeleCorp that:
2.1 Organization and Business. If a Pledgor is a corporation, such Pledgor
-------------------------
is a duly organized and validly existing corporation, in good standing under the
laws of the state of its incorporation, with all power and authority, corporate
or otherwise, necessary (a) to enter into and perform this Agreement, and (b) to
own its properties and carry on the business now conducted or proposed to be
conducted by it. Certified copies of the Charter and By-laws of such Pledgor
have been previously delivered to TeleCorp and are correct and complete, or
prior to the delivery of any Advance by TeleCorp to Wireless under the
Acquisition Agreement, such organizational documents of each corporate Pledgor
will be delivered to TeleCorp in a form that is correct and complete.
2.2 Authorization and Enforceability. If a Pledgor is a corporation, such
--------------------------------
Pledgor has taken all corporate action required to execute, deliver and perform
this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Pledgor, enforceable against such Pledgor in accordance with
its terms.
2.3 No Legal Obstacle to Agreements. Neither the execution, delivery and
-------------------------------
performance of this Agreement, nor the consummation of any transaction referred
to in or contemplated by this Agreement, has constituted or resulted, or will
constitute or result, in:
-39-
<PAGE>
(a) Any breach or termination of the provisions of any
agreement, instrument, deed or lease to which such Pledgor is a party

reasonable discretion of such Cash Equity Investors, on the one hand, and AT&T

TWR Cellular shall cease to be entitled to elect one (1) Series A Preferred
Director, such director shall resign (or the other directors or Stockholders
shall remove him) from the Board of Directors and the remaining directors shall
take such action so that the number of directors constituting the entire Board
of Directors shall be reduced accordingly.

4.2 Right of First Offer.
--------------------
(a) If a Stockholder (each a "Seller") desires to Transfer any or
all of its shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock (other than Voting
Preference Stock and Class C Common Stock which may only be transferred in
accordance with Section 4.1(e)(i) collectively, the "Offered Shares"), such
Seller shall give written notice (the "Offer Notice") to the Company and to each
Stockholder entitled to become the First Offeree of such Offered Shares, as
determined below. Each Offer Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the
number of shares of each class of Offered Shares, the cash purchase price
requested and all other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer.
The Offer Notice shall constitute an irrevocable offer (a "First Offer") to sell
all (and not less than all) of the Offered Shares to the First Offeree(s) at a
cash price equal to the price contained in such Offer Notice and upon the same
terms as the terms contained in such Offer Notice. The First Offeree(s) shall
have the irrevocable right and
24
<PAGE>
option, exercisable as provided below, but not the obligation, to accept the
First Offer as to all (and not less than all) of the Offered Shares. The "First
Offeree(s)" shall be determined as follows:
(i) If the Seller is a Cash Equity Investor, AT&T PCS shall be First
Offeree;
(ii) If the Seller is AT&T PCS or TWR Cellular, each Cash Equity
Investor shall be the First Offeree; and
(iii) If the Seller is any Stockholder other than a Cash Equity
Investor, AT&T PCS shall be the First Offeree.
(b) The option provided for herein shall be exercisable by the First
Offeree(s) by giving written notice (a "Purchase Notice"), that the First
Offeree desires to purchase all (and not less than all) of such Offered Shares
from the Seller, to the Stockholders (other than the Seller) and the Company not
later than ten (10) business days (the "First Offer Period") after the date of
the Offer Notice. If the Cash Equity Investors are First Offerees and two or
more Cash Equity Investors notify the Seller of their desire to purchase all of
the Offered Shares, then each Cash Equity Investor shall acquire the proportion
of such Offered Shares as the number of shares of Company Stock owned by such
Cash Equity Investor bears to the total number of shares of Company Stock owned
by all Cash Equity Investors who elected to purchase all of the Offered Shares.
If Offered Shares are purchased by more than one purchaser, the purchase price
shall be allocated among the parties purchasing the shares on the basis of the
number of shares being so purchased. The purchase of the Offered Shares by the
First Offeree(s) shall be closed at the principal executive offices of the
Company on a date specified by the First Offeree(s) upon at least five (5)
business days' notice, that is within thirty (30) days after the expiration of
the First Offer Period; provided, however, that if such purchase is subject to
-------- -------
the consent of the FCC or any public service or public utilities commission, the
purchase of the Offered Shares shall be closed on the first business day after
all such consents shall have been obtained by Final Order.
(c) If the First Offeree(s) decline (which shall include the failure
to give timely notice of acceptance) to purchase all of the Offered Shares
subject to the First Offer within the First Offer Period, the Seller shall have
the right (for a period of ninety (90) days following the expiration of the
First Offer Period) to consummate the sale of the Offered Shares to any Person;
provided, however, that the purchase price of such Offered Shares payable by
- -------- -------
such Person must be at least equal to the cash purchase price thereof set forth
in the Offer Notice and all other terms and conditions of any such sale shall
not be more beneficial to such third party than those contained in the Offer
Notice. If any Offered Shares are not sold pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 4.2 prior to the expiration of the ninety (90) day period specified in
the immediately preceding sentence, such Offered Shares shall become subject
once again to the provisions and restrictions hereof; provided, however, that if
-------- -------
such purchase is subject to the consent of the FCC or any public service or
public utilities commission, the purchase of the
25
<PAGE>
Offered Shares shall be closed on the first business day after all such consents
shall have been obtained by Final Order.
(d) The purchase price of any Offered Shares Transferred pursuant
to this Section 4.2 shall be payable in cash by certified bank check or by wire
transfer of immediately available funds.
(e) The provisions of this Section 4.2 shall not be applicable to
the repurchase by the Company of any shares of Class A Voting Common Stock or
Class E Preferred Stock repurchased by the Company from an employee of the
Company in connection with such individual's termination of employment.
4.3 Rights of Inclusion.
-------------------
(a) No Stockholder shall, directly or indirectly, Transfer, in any
single transaction or series of related transactions to one or more Persons who
are not Affiliated Successors of such Stockholder (each such Person an
"Inclusion Event Purchaser") shares of any series or class of Company Stock
(collectively, "Inclusion Stock") in circumstances in which, after giving effect
to such Transfer, whether acting alone or in concert with any other Stockholder
(such parties referred to herein as "Selling Stockholders") would result in such
Selling Stockholder(s) Transferring twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the
outstanding shares of any such class of Inclusion Stock (for purposes of this
Section 4.3, in the event that the Inclusion Stock is Series C Preferred Stock,
Series D Preferred Stock shall also be deemed to be Inclusion Stock and the
Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be one
class of Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.3) outstanding on the
date of such proposed Transfer on a fully diluted basis (excluding for such
purposes the Series A Preferred Stock) (an "Inclusion Event"), unless the terms
and conditions of such sale to such Inclusion Event Purchaser shall include an
offer to AT&T PCS, the Cash Equity Investors and the Management Stockholders
other than the Selling Stockholder (each, an "Inclusion Event Offeree") to
Transfer to such Inclusion Event Purchasers up to that number of shares of any
class of Inclusion Stock then Beneficially Owned by each Inclusion Event Offeree
that bears the same proportion to the total number of shares of Inclusion Stock
at that time Beneficially Owned (without duplication) by each such Inclusion
Event Offeree as the number of shares of Inclusion Stock being Transferred by
the Selling Stockholders (including shares of Inclusion Stock theretofore
Transferred if in any applicable series of related transactions) bears to the
total number of shares of Inclusion Stock at the time Beneficially Owned
(without duplication) by the Selling Stockholders (including shares of Inclusion
Stock theretofore Transferred if in any applicable series of related
transactions). If the Selling Stockholders receive a bona fide offer from an
Inclusion Event Purchaser to purchase shares of Inclusion Stock in circumstances
in which, after giving effect to such sale would result in an Inclusion Event,
and which offer such Selling Stockholders wish to accept, the Selling
Stockholders shall then cause the Inclusion Event Purchaser's offer to be
reduced to writing (which writing shall include an offer to purchase shares of
Inclusion Stock from each Inclusion Event Offeree according to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 4.3) and the Selling Stockholders shall
send written
26
<PAGE>
notice of the Inclusion Event Purchaser's offer (the "Inclusion Notice") to each
Inclusion Event Offeree, which Inclusion Notice shall specify (i) the names of
the Selling Stockholders, (ii) the names and addresses of the proposed acquiring
Person, (iii) the amount of shares proposed to be Transferred and the price,
form of consideration and other terms and conditions of such Transfer
(including, if in a series of related transactions, such information with
respect to shares of Inclusion Stock theretofore Transferred), (iv) that the
acquiring Person has been informed of the rights provided for in this Section
4.3 and has agreed to purchase shares of Inclusion Stock in accordance with the
terms hereof, and (v) the date by which each other Selling Stockholder may
exercise its respective rights contained in this Section 4.3, which date shall
not be less than thirty (30) days after the giving of the Inclusion Notice. The
Inclusion Notice shall be accompanied by a true and correct copy of the
Inclusion Event Purchaser's offer. At any time within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the Inclusion Notice, each Inclusion Event Offeree may accept the
offer included in the Inclusion Notice for up to such number of shares of
Inclusion Stock as is determined in accordance with this Section 4.3, by
furnishing written notice of such acceptance to each Selling Stockholder, and
delivering, to an escrow agent (which shall be a bank or a law or accounting
firm designated by the Company), on behalf of the Selling Stockholders, the
certificate or certificates representing the shares of Inclusion Stock to be
sold pursuant to such offer by each Inclusion Event Offeree, duly endorsed in
blank, together with a limited power-of-attorney authorizing the escrow agent,
on behalf of the Inclusion Event Offeree, to sell the shares to be sold pursuant
to the terms of such Inclusion Event Purchaser's offer.
In the event that the Inclusion Event Purchaser does not agree to
purchase all of the shares of Inclusion Stock proposed to be sold by the Selling
Stockholders and the Inclusion Event Offerees, then each Selling Stockholder and
Inclusion Event Offeree shall have the right to sell to the Inclusion Event
Purchaser that number of shares of Inclusion Stock as shall be equal to (x) the
number of shares of Inclusion Stock which the Inclusion Event Purchaser has
agreed to purchase times (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
shares of Inclusion Stock Beneficially Owned (without duplication) by such
Selling Stockholder or Inclusion Event Offeree and the denominator of which is
the aggregate number of shares of Inclusion Stock Beneficially Owned (without
duplication) by all Selling Stockholders and Inclusion Event Offerees. If any
Inclusion Event Offeree desires to sell less than its proportionate amount of
shares of Inclusion Stock that it is entitled to sell pursuant to this Section
4.3, then the Selling Stockholders and the remaining Inclusion Event Offerees
shall have the right to sell to the Inclusion Event Purchaser an additional
amount of shares of Inclusion Stock as shall be equal to (x) the number of
shares of Inclusion Stock not being sold by any such Inclusion Event Purchasers
times (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of
Inclusion Stock owned such Selling Stockholder or remaining Inclusion Event
Offeree and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of
Inclusion Stock Beneficially Owned (without duplication) by all Selling
Stockholders and remaining Inclusion Event Offerees. Such process shall be
repeated in series until all of the remaining Inclusion Event Offerees agree to
sell their remaining proportionate number of shares of Inclusion Stock.
(b) The purchase from each Inclusion Event Offeree pursuant to this
Section 4.3 shall be on the same terms and conditions, including the price per
share received by the
27
<PAGE>
Selling Stockholders and stated in the Inclusion Notice provided to each
Inclusion Event Offeree. In the event that the Inclusion Stock is Common Stock,
all Inclusion Event Offerees shall be required, as a condition of participating
in such transaction, to convert its Preferred Stock into Common Stock and
Transfer Common Stock to the Inclusion Event Purchaser. In the event that the
Inclusion Stock is Series C Preferred Stock and after giving effect to the
rights of the Inclusion Event Offerees to sell their pro rata share of Series C
Preferred Stock or Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4.3 the Inclusion Event
Purchaser shall be required to purchase both Series C Preferred Stock and Common
Stock, the purchase price allocable to holders of Series C Preferred Stock, on
the one hand, and to holders of Common Stock, on the other hand, shall be
determined by an independent committee of the Board of Directors selected from
among those directors who were not designated by any Selling Stockholders or
Inclusion Event Offerees, it being understood that the directors selected
pursuant to Sections 3.1(e)(ii) and 3.11(a)(ii) shall be deemed independent for
such purposes.
(c) Simultaneously with the consummation of the sale of the shares of
Inclusion Stock of the Selling Stockholders and each Inclusion Event Offeree to
the Inclusion Event Purchaser pursuant to the Inclusion Event Purchaser's offer,
the Selling Stockholders shall notify each Inclusion Event Offeree and shall
cause the purchaser to remit to each Inclusion Event Offeree the total sales
price of the shares of Inclusion Stock held by each Inclusion Event Offeree sold
pursuant thereto and shall furnish such other evidence of the completion and
time of completion of such sale and the terms thereof as may be reasonably
requested by each Inclusion Event Offeree.
(d) If within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Inclusion Notice,
an Inclusion Event Offeree has not accepted the offer contained in the Inclusion
Notice, such Inclusion Event Offeree shall be deemed to have waived any and all
rights with respect to the sale described in the Inclusion Notice (but not with
respect to any subsequent sale, to the extent this Section 4.3 is applicable to
such subsequent sale) and the Selling Stockholders shall have sixty (60) days in
which to sell not more than the number of shares of Inclusion Stock described in
the Inclusion Notice, on terms not more favorable to the Selling Stockholders
than were set forth in the Inclusion Notice; provided, however, that if such
-------- -------
purchase is subject to the consent of the FCC or any public service or public
utilities commission, the purchase of the Offered Shares shall be closed on the
first business day after all such consents shall have been obtained by Final
Order.
4.4 Right of First Negotiation. In the event that a Stockholder desires to
--------------------------
Transfer any shares of Common Stock following the IPO Date in a Transfer
described in clause (y) of Section 4.1(b)(iii), such Stockholder shall give
written notice thereof to AT&T PCS, such notice to specify, among other things,
the number of shares that such Stockholder desires to sell. For the applicable
first negotiation period hereinafter set forth, AT&T PCS shall have the
exclusive right to negotiate with such Stockholder with respect to the purchase
of such shares; it being understood and agreed that such exclusive right shall
not be deemed to be a right of first offer or right of first refusal for the
benefit of AT&T PCS and such Stockholder shall have the right to reject any
offer made by AT&T PCS during such applicable first negotiation period. Upon the
expiration of such applicable first negotiation period, such Stockholder shall
have the right (for
28
<PAGE>
the applicable offer period hereinafter set forth with respect to each
applicable first negotiation period), following the expiration of such
applicable first negotiation period, to offer and sell such shares included in
such written notice on such terms and conditions as shall be acceptable to such
Stockholder in its sole discretion. If any of such shares included in such
written notice are not sold pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.4 prior
to the expiration of the applicable offer period, such shares shall become
subject once again to the provision and restrictions hereof.
If a Stockholder desires to Transfer shares of Common Stock (a) pursuant to
a Registration of Common Stock under Section 5 in an underwritten offering that
constitutes a bona fide distribution of such Common Stock pursuant to such
Registration, the applicable first negotiation period shall be ten (10) days and
the applicable offer period upon the expiration of such first negotiation period
shall be one hundred twenty (120) days, (b) pursuant to Rule 144, the applicable
first negotiation period shall be three (3) hours (it being understood and
agreed that such Stockholder shall, in addition to giving written notice of such
proposed Transfer by facsimile, use commercially reasonable efforts to contact
AT&T PCS by telephone in accordance with Section 12.1) and the applicable offer
period upon the expiration of such first negotiation period shall be five (5)
business days, and (c) in any single transaction or series of related
transactions to one or more Persons which will result in the Transfer by such
Stockholder (together with any other Stockholder participating in such single
transaction or series of related transactions) of not more than ten percent
(10%) of the Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (excluding for such purposes
the Series A Preferred Stock), the applicable first negotiation period shall be
one (1) business day, so long as notice of such proposed Transfer is given to
AT&T PCS prior to 9:00 A.M. on the day prior to the date of such proposed
Transfer (it being understood and agreed that such Stockholder shall, in
addition to giving written notice of such proposed Transfer by facsimile, use
commercially reasonable efforts to contact AT&T PCS by telephone in accordance
with Section 12.1) and the applicable offer period upon the expiration of such
first negotiation period shall be ten (10) business days.
4.5 Additional Conditions to Permitted Transfers.
--------------------------------------------
(a) As a condition to any Transfer to an Affiliated Successor
permitted pursuant to Section 4.1, or any Transfer pursuant to Section 4.2 or
Section 4.3, each transferee that is not a party hereto shall, prior to such
Transfer, agree in writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this
Agreement applicable to the Stockholders (and shall thereby become a Stockholder
for all purposes of this Agreement). Any Transfer without compliance with such
provisions of this Agreement shall be null and void and such transferee shall
have no rights as a Stockholder of the Company.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, each Stockholder agrees that it will not effect a Transfer of shares
of Company Stock to a Prohibited Transferee; provided, however, that nothing
contained in this Section 4.5(b) shall be construed to prohibit a Transfer of
Common Stock by a Stockholder after the IPO Date pursuant to an underwritten
Registration or in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144. It shall be
deemed a breach of this Section 4.5(b) by a Stockholder Beneficially Owning more
than 10% of
29
<PAGE>
the Common Stock outstanding if any Prohibited Transferee shall acquire,
directly or indirectly, in a private sale Beneficial Ownership of more than 33-
1/3% of any class of equity securities or equity interest in, such Stockholder.
(c) Subject to Sections 4.1 and 4.2, prior to the IPO Date, the Cash
Equity Investors, AT&T PCS and TWR Cellular may not Transfer shares of Common
Stock to any Person that is not an Affiliated Successor of such Stockholder or
another Cash Equity Investor unless after giving effect to such Transfer each of
such Stockholder and such Person shall after giving effect to such Transfer
Beneficially Own more than the lesser of (x) five percent (5%) of the Common
Stock, and (y) one-half of the Common Stock Beneficially Owned by the transferor
on the date hereof, upon such Transfer unless the Transfer by such Cash Equity
Investor, AT&T PCS or TWR Cellular is a Transfer of all of the shares of Common
Stock, as applicable, Beneficially Owned by it. Subject to Sections 4.1 and 4.2,
prior to the IPO Date, no Management Stockholder may effect more than one (1)
Transfer of its shares of Common Stock to a Person that is not an Affiliated
Successor of such Management Stockholder during any twelve (12) month period.
4.6 Representations and Warranties. A Stockholder purchasing shares of
------------------------------
Company Stock pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be entitled to receive
representations and warranties from the transferring Stockholder that such
Stockholder has the authority (corporate or otherwise) to sell such shares, is
the sole owner of such shares, and has good and valid title to such shares, free
and clear of any and all Liens (other than pursuant to this Agreement, the
Restated Certificate or any Related Agreement), and that the sale of such shares
does not violate any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound.
4.7 Stop-Transfer.
-------------
(a) The Company agrees not to effect any Transfer of shares of Company
Stock by any Stockholder whose proposed Transfer is subject to Sections 4.2, 4.3
or 4.4 until it has received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the
rights provided to any other Stockholders pursuant to such Sections, if
applicable to such Transfer, have been complied with and satisfied in all
respects. If any portion of such Stockholder's Unfunded Commitment shall remain
unpaid on the date of such proposed Transfer, then, as a condition of such
Transfer, such Person purchasing such Company Stock shall, or another Cash
Equity Investor may, execute an instrument in form satisfactory to the Company
agreeing to pay in full such Stockholder's Unfunded Commitment outstanding on
the date of such proposed Transfer, provided, however, that such Stockholder
-------- -------
shall not be released from its obligation in respect of such Unfunded
Commitment. No Transfer of any shares of Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock
shall be made except in compliance with all applicable securities laws. Any
Transfer made in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void.
(b) The Company agrees that it will not, without the prior written
consent of AT&T PCS, Transfer, issue or dispose of any Equity Securities to a
Prohibited Transferee except
30
<PAGE>
that purchases of Common Stock by a Prohibited Transferee in connection with a
Registration of Common Stock shall not constitute a violation of this Section
4.7(b).
5. Registration Rights.
-------------------
(a) Demand Registration Rights.
--------------------------
(i) Right to Demand Registration. From and after the ninety-first
----------------------------
(91st) day following the IPO Date (or such longer period as may be required by
the managing underwriters of the Company's initial public offering) and, subject
to Section 4.1(d), each of (A) a Qualified Holder, and (B) Management
Stockholders that in the aggregate Beneficially Own at least 50.1% of the shares
of Class A Voting Common Stock then Beneficially Owned by the Management
Stockholders (each a "Demanding Stockholder" and, collectively, the "Demanding
Stockholders") shall have the right to make a written request to the Company for
registration with the Commission, under and in accordance with the provisions of
the Securities Act, of all or part of their Registrable Securities pursuant to
an underwritten offering (a "Demand Registration"), which request shall specify
the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by each Demanding
Stockholder; provided, however, that (x) the Company need not effect a Demand
-------- -------
Registration unless in the aggregate the sale of the Registrable Securities
proposed to be sold by the Demanding Stockholder shall reasonably be expected to
result in aggregate gross proceeds to such Demanding Stockholder of at least $10
million, and (y) if the Board of Directors determines that a Demand Registration
would interfere with any pending or contemplated material acquisition,
disposition, financing or other material transaction, the Company may defer a
Demand Registration (including by withdrawing any Registration Statement filed
in connection with a Demand Registration); so long as that the aggregate of all
such deferrals shall not exceed one hundred twenty (120) days in any 360-day
period. Demand Registration shall not be deemed a Demand Registration hereunder
until such Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission
(without interference by any stop order, injunction or other order or
requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency, for any reason), and
maintained continuously effective for a period of at least three (3) months or
such shorter period when all Registrable Securities included therein have been
sold in accordance with such Demand Registration; provided, however, that a
-------- -------
Qualified Holder may, not more frequently than once in any twelve (12) month
period, request that the Demand Registration be a shelf registration that is
maintained continuously effective for a period of at least six (6) months or
such shorter period when all Registrable Securities included therein have been
sold in accordance with such Demand Registration. A Demanding Stockholder may
make a written request for a Demand Registration in accordance with the
foregoing in respect of Equity Securities that it intends to convert into shares
of Class A Voting Common Stock upon the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement prepared in connection with such demand, and the Company shall fulfill
its obligations under this Section 5 in a manner that permits such Demanding
Stockholder to exercise its conversion rights in respect of such Equity
Securities and substantially contemporaneously sell the shares of Class A Voting
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion under such Registration Statement.
31
<PAGE>
The Company will not be obligated to effect more than two (2) separate
Demand Registrations during any twelve (12) month period; provided, however,
-------- -------
that only one (1) request for a Demand Registration may be exercised by (i) AT&T
PCS and/or (ii) Management Stockholders that in the aggregate Beneficially Own
at least 50.1% of the shares of Class A Voting Common Stock then Beneficially
Owned by the Management Stockholders during any twelve (12) month period.
Within ten (10) days after receipt of the request for a Demand
Registration, the Company will send written notice (the "Demand Notice") of such
Registration request and its intention to comply therewith to all Stockholders
who are holders of Registrable Securities and, subject to Section 5(a)(ii), the
Company will include in such Demand Registration all Registrable Securities of
such Stockholders with respect to which the Company has received written
requests for inclusion therein within twenty (20) days after the last date such
Demand Notice was deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 12.1.
(ii) Priority on Demand Registration. If the managing underwriter or
-------------------------------
underwriters advise the Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities to
be registered in writing that in its or their opinion that, the number of
Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such Registration and any other
securities of the Company requested or proposed to be included in such
Registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without (A)
creating a substantial risk that the proceeds or price per share to be derived
from such Registration will be reduced or that the number of Registrable
Securities to be registered is too large a number to be reasonably sold, or (B)
materially and adversely affecting such Registration in any other respect, the
Company will (x) include in such Registration the aggregate number of
Registrable Securities recommended by the managing underwriter (the number of
Registrable Securities to be registered for each Stockholder to be reduced pro
rata based on the amount of Registrable Securities each of the Stockholders
requested to be included in such Registration), and (y) not allow any securities
other than Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration unless all
Registrable Securities requested to be included shall have been included
therein, and then only to the extent recommended by the managing underwriter or
determined by the Company after consultation with an investment banker of
nationally recognized standing (notification of which number shall be given by
the Company to the holders of Registrable Securities).
(iii) Selection of Underwriters. The offering of such Registrable
-------------------------
Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an
underwritten offering. The Demanding Stockholder that initiated such Demand
Registration will select a managing underwriter or underwriters of recognized
national standing to administer the offering, which managing underwriter or
underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.
(b) Piggyback Registration Rights.
-----------------------------
(i) Right to Piggyback. If the Company proposes to register any shares
------------------
of Class A Voting Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable
for
32
<PAGE>
Class A Voting Common Stock) with the Commission under the Securities Act
(other than a Registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8, or any successor forms), and
the Registration form to be used may be used for the Registration of the
Registrable Securities (a "Piggyback Registration"), the Company will give
written notice (a "Piggyback Notice") to all Stockholders, at least thirty (30)
days prior to the anticipated filing date, of its intention to effect such a
Registration, which notice will specify the proposed offering price (if
determined at that time), the kind and number of securities proposed to be
registered, the distribution arrangements and will, subject to Section 5(b)(ii),
include in such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities with respect
to which the Company has received written requests (which requests have not been
withdrawn) for inclusion therein within twenty (20) days after the last date
such Piggyback Notice was deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 12.1. If
at any time after giving the Piggyback Notice and prior to the effective date of
the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration, the
Company determines for any reason not to register or to delay Registration, the
Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each
holder of Registrable Securities that has requested inclusion of Registrable
Securities in such Registration and (A) in the case of a determination not to
register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable
Securities in connection with such Registration, and (B) in the case of a
determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any
Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such
other securities.
(ii) Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If the managing
-----------------------------------
underwriter or underwriters, if any, advise the Company and the holders of
Registrable Securities in writing that in its or their opinion, that the number
or kind of securities proposed to be sold in such Registration (including
Registrable Securities to be included pursuant to Section 5(b)(i)) exceeds the
number that can be sold in such offering without (A) creating a substantial risk
that the proceeds or price per share the Company will derive from such
Registration will be reduced, or that the number of shares to be registered is
too large a number to be reasonably sold or (B) materially and adversely
affecting such Registration in any other respect, without any reduction in the
amount of securities the Company proposes to issue and sell for its own account
or in the amount of securities any other security holder proposes to sell for
its own account pursuant to a demand Registration right, the number of
Registrable Securities to be registered for each Demanding Stockholder shall be
reduced pro rata based on the amount of Registrable Securities each of the
Demanding Stockholders requested to be included in such Registration, to the
extent necessary to reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be registered
to the number recommended by the managing underwriter or determined by the
Company after consultation with an investment banker of nationally recognized
standing (notification of which number shall be given by the Company to the
holders of Registrable Securities of such determination).
(c) Selection of Underwriters. Except as set forth in Section
-------------------------
5.1(a)(iii), the Company (by action of the Board of Directors) will select a
managing underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering, which managing
underwriter or underwriters will be of nationally recognized standing.
33
<PAGE>
(d) Registration Procedures. With respect to any Demand Registration
-----------------------
or Piggyback Registration (each, a "Registration"), the Company shall, subject
to Sections 5(a)(i) and (5)(a)(ii) and Sections 5(b)(i) and 5(b)(ii), as
expeditiously as practicable:
(i) prepare and file with the Commission, as promptly as
reasonably practicable (but in no event more than forty-five (45) days) after
the receipt of the Registration requests under Sections 5(a) or 5(b), a

such Registration Statement and the underwriters, if any, copies of all such
documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the
reasonable review of such holders and underwriters and their respective counsel,
and the Company shall not file any Registration Statement or amendment thereto
or any Prospectus or any supplement thereto to which the holders of a majority
of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or the
underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object;
(ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep each
Registration Statement effective for three (3) months (six (6) months in the
case of any shelf registration requested by a Qualified Holder pursuant to this
Section 5) or such shorter period that will terminate when all Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold; cause each
Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so
supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and

respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the
same has become effective; (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments
or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for additional
information; (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any
proceedings for that purpose; (D) if at any time the representations and
warranties of the Company contemplated by subsection (xiv) of this subsection
(d) below cease to be true and correct; (E) of the receipt by the Company
34
<PAGE>
of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the
Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or blue sky laws of any
jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose; and (F) of the happening of any event which makes any statement made in
the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any document incorporated therein
by reference untrue or which requires the making of any changes in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by
reference in order to make the statements therein not misleading;
(iv) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any

holder of Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an underwritten
offering, promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment such information as the managing underwriters and the holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities being sold agree should be included
therein relating to the plan of distribution with respect to such Registrable
Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the
number of Registrable Securities being sold to such underwriters, the purchase
price being paid therefor by such underwriters and any other terms of the
underwritten (or best efforts underwritten) offering of the Registrable
Securities to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such
Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as notified of the
matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment;
(vi) furnish to each selling holder of Registrable Securities and
each managing underwriter, without charge, at least one signed copy of the
Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, including financial statements
and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits
(including those incorporated by reference);
(vii) deliver to each selling holder of Registrable Securities and
the underwriters, if any, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus

securities owned by such selling holder;
(viii) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its
reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling
holders of Registrable Securities, the underwriters, if any, and their
respective counsel in connection with the Registration or qualification of such
Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or "blue sky"
laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any seller or underwriter
reasonably requests in writing, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all
appropriate registrations, permits and consents required in connection
therewith, and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or
advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of
35
<PAGE>
the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided,
--------
however, that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do
- -------
business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any
action that would subject it to taxation or general service of process in any
such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;
(ix) cooperate with the selling holders of Registrable
Securities and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to

and registered in such names as the managing underwriters may request at least
two (2) business days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities to the

(x) use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with any

the disposition of such Registrable Securities;
(xi) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by
subsection (iii)(F) above, promptly prepare a supplement or post-effective

not misleading;
(xii) cause all Registrable Securities covered by any
Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar

Registration, provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities;
(xiv) enter into such customary agreements (including in the
case of a Demand Registration that is an underwritten offering, an underwriting

holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold and the managing

shall be done at each closing under each underwriting or similar agreement or as
and to the extent required thereunder;
(xv) make available for inspection by a representative of each
Demanding Stockholder, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant
to such Registration, and any attorney or accountant retained by the sellers or

necessary, in the opinion of the holders' or underwriter's counsel, to enable
them to fulfill their due diligence responsibilities; and cause the Company's
officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested
by any such representative, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection

notwithstanding any designation of confidentiality by the Company, confidential
information shall not include information which (i) becomes generally available
to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or on behalf of any such
Person, or (ii) becomes available to any such Person on a non-confidential basis

(or ninety (90) days, if such period is a fiscal year) (A) commencing at the end
of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters
in a firm or best efforts underwritten offering, or (B) if not sold to
underwriters in such an offering, beginning with the first month of the
Company's first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the
Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said twelve (12) month
periods; and
(xvii) promptly prior to the filing of any document that is to be
incorporated by reference into any Registration Statement or Prospectus (after

underwriters, if any, make the Company's executive officers and other
representatives available for discussion of such document and make such changes
in such document prior to the filing thereof as counsel for such selling holders
or underwriters may reasonably request.
The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to
which any Registration is being effected to furnish to the Company such
information regarding the proposed distribution of such securities as the
Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing. Each holder of
Registrable Securities agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Securities
that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event
of the kind described in Section 5(d)(xi), such holder shall forthwith
discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until such holder's receipt of
the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section
5(d)(xi), or until it is advised in writing (the "Advice") by the Company that
the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any
additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the
Prospectus; and, if so directed by the Company, such holder shall deliver to the
Company (at the Company's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies
then in such seller's possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable
Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the
Company gives any such notice, the time periods regarding the maintenance of the
effectiveness of any Registration Statement in Sections 5(d)(ii) shall be
extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of
the receipt of such notice pursuant to Section 5(d)(iii)(F) hereof to and
including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or
amended prospectuses contemplated by Section 5(d)(xi) or the Advice.
(e) Indemnification.
---------------
(i) In the event of the Registration or qualification of any
Registrable Securities under the Securities Act or any other applicable
securities laws pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, the Company agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless each Stockholder thereby offering such
Registrable Securities for sale (an "Indemnified Stockholder"), underwriter,
broker or dealer, if any, of such Registrable Securities, and each other person,
if any, who controls any such Indemnified Stockholder, underwriter, broker or
dealer within the meaning of the Securities Act or any other applicable
securities laws, from and
38
<PAGE>
against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Stockholder,
underwriter, broker or dealer or controlling person may become subject under the
Securities Act or any other applicable federal or state securities laws or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration
Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered or qualified
under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws, any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus relating to such Registrable
Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
or any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation under the Securities
Act or any other applicable federal or state securities laws applicable to the
Company or relating to any action or inaction required by the Company in
connection with any such Registration or qualification, and will reimburse each
such Indemnified Stockholder, underwriter, broker or dealer and each such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
Indemnified Stockholder, underwriter, broker or dealer or controlling person in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
expense, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be
-------- -------
liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, expense
or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission
contained in such Registration Statement, such preliminary prospectus, such
final prospectus or such amendment or supplement thereto, made in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
Indemnified Stockholder, underwriter, broker, dealer or controlling person
specifically and expressly for use in the preparation thereof or by the failure
of such Indemnified Stockholder, underwriter, broker or dealer, or controlling
person to deliver a copy of the Registration Statement, such preliminary
prospectus, such final prospectus or such amendment or supplement thereto after
the Company has furnished such party with a sufficient number of copies of the
same and such party failed to deliver or otherwise provide a copy of the final
prospectus to the person asserting an untrue statement or omission or alleged
untrue statement or omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale
of securities to such person, if such statement or omission was in fact
corrected in such final prospectus.
(ii) In the case of an underwritten offering in which the
Registration Statement covers Registrable Securities, the Company agrees to
enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form and substance with such
underwriters and to indemnify the underwriters, their officers and directors, if
any, and each person, if any, who controls such underwriters within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the
same extent as provided in the preceding paragraph with respect to the
indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities; provided, however, the
-------- -------
Company shall not be required to indemnify any such underwriter, or any officer
or director of such underwriter or any person who controls such underwriter
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the
Exchange Act, to the extent that the loss, claim, damage, expense or liability
(or actions in respect thereof) for which indemnification is sought results from
such underwriter's failure to deliver or otherwise provide a copy of the final

<PAGE>
asserting an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of securities to
such person, if such statement or omission was in fact corrected in such final
prospectus.
(iii) In the event of the Registration or qualification of any
Registrable Securities of the Stockholders under the Securities Act or any other
applicable federal or state securities laws for sale pursuant to the provisions
hereof, each Indemnified Stockholder agrees severally, and not jointly, to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each person who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each officer and director of the
Company from and against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which the Company, such
controlling person or any such officer or director may become subject under the
Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws or otherwise, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material
fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable
Securities were registered or qualified under the Securities Act or any other
applicable securities laws, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
relating to such Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
or arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement therein or the omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, which untrue statement or omission was
made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by such Indemnified Stockholder specifically and
expressly for use in connection with the preparation thereof, and will reimburse
the Company, such controlling person and each such officer or director for any
legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability or
action; provided, however, an Indemnified Stockholder's liability under this
-------- -------
Section 5(e)(iii) shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such Indemnified
Stockholder with respect to the sale of any Registrable Securities.
(iv) In the case of an underwritten offering of Registrable
Securities, each holder of a Registrable Security included in a Registration
Statement shall agree to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form
and substance with such underwriters, and to indemnify such underwriters, their
officers and directors, if any, and each person, if any, who controls such
underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section
20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as provided in the preceding
paragraph with respect to indemnification by such holder of the Company, but
subject to the same limitation as provided in Section 5(e)(ii) with respect to
indemnification by the Company of such underwriters, officers, directors and
control persons.
(v) Promptly after receipt by a person entitled to
indemnification under this Section 5(e) (an "Indemnified Party") of notice of
the commencement of any action or claim relating to any Registration Statement
filed under this Section 5 as to which indemnity may be sought hereunder, such
Indemnified Party will, if a claim for indemnification hereunder in respect
thereof is to be made against any other party hereto (an "Indemnifying Party"),
give written notice to each such Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such
action or claim,
40
<PAGE>
but the omission to so notify each such Indemnifying Party will not relieve any
such Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified
Party otherwise than pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5(e) and shall
also not relieve any such Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this
Section 5(e) except to the extent that any such Indemnifying Party is actually
prejudiced thereby. In case any such action is brought against an Indemnified
Party, and such Indemnified Party notifies an Indemnifying Party of the
commencement thereof, such Indemnifying Party will be entitled (at its own
expense) to participate in and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any
other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, of such action and/or to
settle such action and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such
Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
Indemnifying Party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection
with the defense thereof, other than the reasonable cost of investigation;
provided, however, that no Indemnifying Party shall consent to the entry of any
- -------- -------
judgment or enter into any settlement agreement without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party unless such Indemnified Party is fully released
and discharged from any such liability, and no Indemnified Party shall consent
to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any such action the
defense of which has been assumed by an Indemnifying Party without the consent
of each Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party
unless (a) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing
by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such suit, action,
claim or proceeding; (b) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel
(reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party) to take charge of the defense
of such action, suit, claim or proceeding; or (c) such Indemnified Party shall
have reasonably concluded, based upon the advice of counsel, that there may be
defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those
available to the Indemnifying Party which, if the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party were to be represented by the same counsel, could result in a
conflict of interest for such counsel or materially prejudice the prosecution of
the defenses available to such Indemnified Party. If any of the events specified
in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of the preceding sentence shall have occurred or
shall otherwise be applicable, then the fees and expenses of one counsel or firm
of counsel selected by a majority in interest of the indemnified parties (and
reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) shall be borne by the
Indemnifying Party. If, in any such case, the Indemnified Party employs separate
counsel, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense
of such action, suit, claim or proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party and
the Indemnified Party shall assume such defense and/or settle such action;
provided, however, that an Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the
- -------- -------
settlement of any action, suit, claim or proceeding effected without its prior
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The provisions of this Section 5(e) shall be in addition to any
liability which any party may have to any other party and shall survive any
termination of this Agreement.
41
<PAGE>
(f) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for
------------
in Section 5(e)(i) or 5(e)(iii) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party as
contemplated therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnification
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a
result of such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or action in respect
thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative
benefits received by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, but also
the relative fault of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations, provided that no Stockholder
shall be required to contribute in an amount greater than the difference between
the net proceeds received by such Stockholder with respect to the sale of any
Registrable Securities and all amounts already contributed by such Stockholder
with respect to such claims, including amounts paid for any legal or other fees
or expenses incurred by such Stockholder. No person guilty of a fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of any such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and
Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has
been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or
Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action.
(g) Registration Expenses. Except as hereinafter provided, all
---------------------
expenses incident to the Company's performance of or compliance with this
Section 5 will be borne by the Company, including, without limitation, all
Registration and filing fees under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, the
fees and expenses of the counsel and accountants for the Company (including the
expenses of any "cold comfort" letters and special audits required by or
incident to the performance of such persons), all other costs and expenses of
the Company incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the
Securities Act of the Registration Statement (and all amendments and supplements
thereto), and furnishing copies thereof and of the Prospectus included therein,
all out-of-pocket expenses of underwriters customarily paid for by issuers to
the extent provided for in any underwriting agreement, the costs and expenses
incurred by the Company in connection with the qualification of the Registrable
Securities under the state securities or "blue sky" laws of various
jurisdictions, the costs and expenses associated with filings required to be
made with the NASD, the costs and expenses of listing the Registrable Securities
for trading on a national securities exchange or authorizing them for trading on
NASDAQ and all other costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection
with any Registration hereunder. In addition, the Company shall pay or reimburse
the sellers of Registrable Securities the reasonable fees and expenses of one
attorney to such sellers incurred in connection with a registration
(collectively, with the expenses referred to in the immediately preceding
sentence, the "Registration Expenses"). Except as provided in the immediately
preceding sentence, each Stockholder shall bear the costs and expenses of any
underwriters' discounts and commissions, brokerage fees or transfer taxes
relating to the Registrable Securities sold by such Stockholder and the fees and
expenses of any attorneys, accountants or other representatives retained by the
Stockholder.
42
<PAGE>
(h) Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Stockholder may
-------------------------------------------
participate in any underwritten Registration hereunder unless such Stockholder
(i) agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any
customary and reasonable underwriting arrangements approved by the persons
entitled hereunder to select the underwriter, and (ii) accurately completes in a
timely manner and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, underwriting
agreements, indemnities and other documents customarily required under the terms
of such underwriting arrangements.
(i) Holdback Agreements.
-------------------
(i) Each holder of Registrable Securities whose securities are
included in a Registration Statement agrees not to effect any public sale or
distribution of the issue being registered or a similar security of the Company,
or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such
securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, during the fifteen (15) days prior to, and during the ninety
(90)-day period (or such longer period as requested by the managing underwriter
or underwriters in the case of an underwritten public offering) beginning on,
the effective date of such Registration Statement (except as part of such
Registration), if and to the extent requested by the managing underwriter or
underwriters in an underwritten public offering.
(ii) The Company agrees not to effect any public sale or
distribution of the issue being registered or a similar security of the Company,
or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such
securities (other than any such sale or distribution of such securities in
connection with any merger or consolidation by the Company or any Subsidiary or
the acquisition by the Company or any Subsidiary of the capital stock or
substantially all of the assets of any other Person), during the fifteen (15)
days prior to, and during the ninety (90)-day period beginning on, the effective
date of each Demand Registration.
(j) Public Information Reporting. The Company hereby covenants and
----------------------------
agrees to and with the Stockholders that at all times following the IPO Date it
shall provide and file such financial and other information concerning the
Company as may from time to time be required by the Commission and any other
governmental authority having jurisdiction, so as to comply with all reporting
requirements under the Exchange Act, and shall, upon request, state in writing
that it has complied with all such requirements, and further agrees that, for so
long as (following the IPO Date) the Company is not subject to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall comply in all respects with
paragraph (c)(2) of Rule 144.
6. Disqualifying Transactions.
--------------------------
6.1 Company Conversion Rights. In the event AT&T PCS terminates its
-------------------------
obligations under Section 8.6 pursuant to Section 8.8(c) with respect to any
Overlap Territory, the Company shall have the following rights which may be

by AT&T PCS, TWR Cellular and each Section 4.12 Transferee equal to a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of POPS in the Overlap Territory and the
denominator of which is the total number of POPS in the Territory, of the shares
of Series A Preferred Stock then owned by AT&T PCS, TWR Cellular and each
Section 4.12 Transferee for an equivalent number of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock determined in accordance with the Restated Certificate; and

and the denominator of which is the total number of POPs in the Territory, of
the shares of Series D Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock and Common
Stock Beneficially Owned by AT&T PCS and TWR Cellular on the date hereof (or
shares of Common Stock or Senior Common Stock into which such shares of Series D
Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock and Senior Common Stock shall have
been converted) and that AT&T PCS, TWR Cellular or a Section 4.12 Transferee
continues to own on the date such right is exercised by the Company for that
number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock as shall be equal to the aggregate
purchase price paid by AT&T PCS and TWR Cellular for all of such shares of
Series D Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock and Common Stock that AT&T
PCS, TWR Cellular or such Section 4.12 Transferee then Beneficially Owns
(including any shares of Common Stock or Senior Common Stock into which such

clause (ii)(A) of this Section 6.1(a), and vice versa; and if the Company
exercises its right under clause (i)(B) of the Section 6.1(a) it shall be
required to exercise its right under clause (ii)(B) of this Section 6.1(a) and

6.2 Joint Marketing Right. During the period commencing on the date of
---------------------
announcement by AT&T PCS of a transaction meeting the description of a
transaction set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of the definition of a
Disqualifying Transaction (unless AT&T PCS notifies the Company it has waived
its right to declare such transaction a Disqualifying Transaction in which
event, this Section 6.2 shall not be applicable to such transaction) and
terminating on the later of (x) six (6) months after the date of consummation of
such transaction,
44
<PAGE>
and (y) if applicable, the date by which AT&T PCS is required under applicable
law to dispose of any PCS System or Cellular System serving a Subject Market
(the "Section 6.2 Period"), the following provisions shall apply:
(a) If AT&T PCS proposes to sell, transfer or assign to any Person
which is not an Affiliate of AT&T PCS any Subject Market, AT&T PCS shall give
written notice (the "Company Sale Notice") to the Company and the Company shall
have the right, exercisable by written notice given within ten (10) days of
receipt of the Company Sale Notice, to elect to cause AT&T PCS to offer for sale
jointly with the Company for a period of ninety (90) days the Subject Markets
covered by the Company Sale Notice together with all of the Territory included
in the MTA that includes the Subject Markets (the "Joint Marketing Period"). In
the event that AT&T PCS has granted similar rights to the rights set forth in
this Section 6.2 to any Permitted Merger Participant and any Subject Market is
also a "Subject Market" under the terms of any agreement between AT&T PCS and
any such Permitted Merger Participant, the Company agrees that any territory of
the Permitted Merger Participant that is required under the terms of such
agreement to be offered for sale jointly with any Subject Markets shall be
offered for sale jointly with such Subject Markets and all of the Territory
included in the MTA that includes such Subject Markets. During the Joint
Marketing Period, AT&T PCS shall not sell the Subject Markets other than in a
transaction that includes the Subject Markets and the Territory included in the
MTA that includes the Subject Markets, provided, however, that neither AT&T PCS
-------- -------
nor the Company shall be obligated to enter into a transaction for such Subject
Markets and such Territory other than on terms acceptable to each of them in
their sole discretion. This Section 6.2 shall cease to apply to any Subject
Market upon the earlier of (x) if the Company fails to make the joint marketing
election with respect to the applicable Subject Market within the ten (10) day
period referred to above, the expiration of such ten (10) day period, or (y) if
the Company makes the joint marketing election with respect to the applicable
Subject Market, upon the expiration of the Joint Marketing Period.
(b) Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall (x) be construed to
require AT&T PCS to deliver a Company Sale Notice with respect to any Subject
Market except during the Section 6.2 Period, (y) extend the obligation of AT&T
PCS set forth in this Section 6.2 beyond the expiration of the Section 6.2
Period or (z) apply to any sale, transfer or assignment of any Subject Market
pursuant to an agreement executed on any date not within the Section 6.2 Period.
(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require AT&T PCS
to deliver the notice described in clause (d) of the definition of a
Disqualifying Transaction, including, without limitation, circumstances in which
AT&T PCS or its Affiliates enters into any transaction meeting the description
of a transaction set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of the definition of a
Disqualifying Transaction.

7. Additional Rights and Covenants.
-------------------------------
7.1 Financial Statements. The Company shall provide to each Stockholder
--------------------
(a) within seventy-five (75) days after the end of each fiscal quarter (other
than the fourth fiscal quarter) or such shorter periods as is required pursuant
to the terms of the Company's senior indebtedness, the unaudited consolidated
balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the end of such period
and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income, surplus and cash
flows for such period and year-to-date and (b) within one hundred twenty (120)
days after the end of each fiscal year, the audited consolidated balance sheet
of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the end of such year and the related
unaudited consolidated statements of income, surplus and cash flows for such
year. All financial statements and information provided pursuant to this Section
7.1 shall constitute Confidential Information under Section 7.7.
7.2 Purchase Right.
--------------
(a) If on or prior to the IPO Date the Company proposes to offer,
issue, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of any class or series of common
stock or Preferred Stock, or options, rights, warrants, conversion rights or
appreciation rights relating thereto, or any other type of equity security
(collectively, "Equity Securities") of the Company for cash to any Person,
including pursuant to an initial public offering, (x) the Company shall, prior
to any such offer, issuance, sale or other disposition, give written notice (an
"Issuance Notice") to each of the Stockholders setting forth the purchase price
of such Equity Securities (or, in the case of an initial public offering, the
anticipated price range), the type and aggregate number of Equity Securities or
rights to acquire Equity Securities to be so offered, issued, sold or otherwise
disposed of, the terms and conditions of such offer, issuance, sale or other
disposition, and the rights, powers and duties inhering in such additional
Equity Securities or rights to acquire Equity Securities, and (y) each
Stockholder shall have the right (the "Purchase Right") to acquire the
percentage of Equity Securities proposed to be offered, issued, sold or
otherwise disposed of equal to the number of shares of Class A Voting Common
Stock then Beneficially Owned by such Stockholder divided by the aggregate
number of shares of Class A Voting Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
such offer, issuance, sale or other disposition of Equity Securities (including
any shares of Class A Voting Common Stock Beneficially Owned by such
Stockholder); provided, however, that the terms and conditions of this Section
-------- --------
7.2 shall not apply to any offer, issuance, sale or other disposition of Equity
Securities or rights to acquire Equity Securities to any Person pursuant to a
stock option or stock appreciation rights plan established by the Company for
the benefit of its employees, officers, directors, agents or consultants, or
otherwise granted to an employee of the Company in connection with such person's
employment by the Company. In the case of an offer, issuance sale or other
disposition of Equity Securities issued as part of a unit with other debt,
equity or other securities of the Company, the right of a Stockholder to acquire
such Equity Security shall be conditioned upon such Stockholder's acquisition of
such debt, equity or other securities included in such unit.
(b) Each Stockholder may exercise such Purchase Right, in whole or in
part, on the terms and conditions and for the purchase price set forth in the
Issuance Notice, by giving
46
<PAGE>
to the Company notice to such effect, within thirty (30) days after the giving
of the Issuance Notice. In the case of an initial public offering, the following
conditions shall apply to the Purchase Right set forth herein: (i) In the event
that a Stockholder exercises such Purchase Right, such Stockholder shall be
obligated to exercise such right if the public offering price is not greater
than the highest price in the anticipated range specified in the applicable
notice, and (ii) in the event that a Stockholder exercises such Purchase Right
and the public offering price is greater than the highest price in the
anticipated range specified in the applicable notice, such Stockholder shall
have the right but not the obligation, to exercise such right at such public
offering price. After the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Company
shall have the right to offer, issue, sell and otherwise dispose of any or all
of the Equity Securities referred to in the applicable Issuance Notice as to
which no Purchase Right has been exercised but only upon the terms and
conditions, and for a purchase price not lower than the purchase price set forth
in the Issuance Notice; provided, however, that in the case of an initial public
offering, such right of the Company shall be the right to offer, issue, sell and
otherwise dispose of such Equity Securities at any price. In the event of an
initial public offering of Equity Securities at a price more than 20% below such
lowest price, AT&T PCS shall have the right, exercisable at the time of pricing
of such initial public offering, to exercise such Purchase Right. If the Company
does not offer, issue, sell or otherwise dispose of the Equity Securities
referred to in the applicable Issuance Notice on the terms and conditions set
forth in such Issuance Notice within one hundred twenty (120) days after the
expiration of such thirty (30) day period, then any subsequent proposal by the
Company to offer, issue, sell or otherwise dispose of such Equity Securities
shall be subject to this Section 7.2.
7.3 Access. The Company shall permit, and shall cause each of its
------
Subsidiaries to permit, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours,
each Qualified Holder and its directors, officers, employees, attorneys,
accountants, representatives, consultants and other agents, at the sole expense
of such Qualified Holder, to (a) visit and inspect any of the properties and
facilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (b) examine and make copies of
and extracts from the corporate and financial records of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, (c) discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company or
any such Subsidiary with any of its officers, directors and key employees and
its independent accountants, and (d) otherwise investigate the properties,
businesses and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case as
such Qualified Holder reasonably deems necessary; provided, however, that each
-------- -------
Qualified Holder may exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 7.3 no more
than three times in any 12 month period. The Company shall, and shall cause each
of its Subsidiaries and the officers, directors and employees of the Company and
its Subsidiaries to, cooperate fully in connection with such inspection,
examinations and discussions. The presentation of a copy of this Agreement by
any Qualified Holder to the independent accountants of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries shall constitute permission by the Company or such Subsidiary to
its independent accountants to participate in discussions with such Qualified
Holder.
7.4 Merger, Sale or Liquidation of the Company.
------------------------------------------
47
<PAGE>
(a) Except for transactions permitted pursuant to Section 7.11 and to
the extent permitted in this Section 7.4, the Company shall not, and shall not
permit any of its Subsidiaries to, except with the prior written consent of AT&T
PCS or in accordance with Sections 7.4(b) and 7.4(c), effect (i) any merger,
combination or consolidation of the Company or such Subsidiary with or into any
other entity (regardless of whether the Company or such Subsidiary is the
surviving entity in any such transaction) (any such merger, combination or
consolidation is referred to as a "Company Merger"), (ii) any sale or
disposition of a substantial portion of its assets (a "Company Asset Sale"), or
(iii) the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or such
Subsidiary.
(b) The Company and its Subsidiaries may effect a Company Merger,
without the prior written consent of AT&T PCS, (i) in which the only constituent
corporations are two or more of the Company's wholly owned Subsidiaries, (ii) in
which the only constituent corporations are the Company and one or more of its
wholly owned Subsidiaries and the Company is the surviving corporation, or (iii)
between a Subsidiary of the Company and another entity for the purpose of
acquiring such other entity; provided, that (x) such transaction does not affect
--------
the capital structure of the Company, except to the extent the Company issues
common stock to the stockholders of the other entity pursuant to the terms of
such Company Merger, (y) the surviving corporation is a direct or indirect
wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, and (z) the consummation of such
transaction does not violate Section 8.1(a).
(c) The Company and its Subsidiaries may effect any of the
transactions described in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 7.4(a) (a "Sale
Transaction"), without the prior written consent of AT&T PCS, if (a) such
transaction has no material effect on AT&T PCS' equity interest in the Company
(and the seniority thereof) or its rights under this Agreement, (b) the
Company's direct or indirect interest in its assets is unaffected by such
transaction in any material respect, and (c) such transaction is otherwise
equivalent in all material respects to AT&T PCS to the sale by each of the other
Stockholders of its equity interests in the Company for cash or marketable
securities; provided, that any such Sale Transaction shall nevertheless be
--------
subject to a right of first offer in accordance with the provisions of Section
7. 4(d).
(d) Prior to entering into a Sale Transaction, the Company shall give
written notice (the "Sale Notice") to AT&T PCS. Each Sale Notice shall describe
in reasonable detail all material terms of the proposed Sale Transaction. The
Sale Notice shall constitute an irrevocable offer (a "Sale Offer") to enter into
the Sale Transaction with AT&T PCS on the terms set forth in the Sale Notice.
AT&T PCS shall have the irrevocable right and option, but not the obligation, to
accept the Sale Offer in whole but not in part by giving written notice of its
acceptance of such offer within thirty (30) days of the date the Sale Notice is
given. The Sale Transaction shall be closed at the principal executive offices
of the Company within thirty (30) days after the acceptance by AT&T PCS of the
Sale Offer; provided, however, that, if the Sale Transaction is subject to the
-------- -------
consent of the FCC or any public service or public utilities commission, the
Sale Transaction shall be closed on the fifth business day after all such
consents shall have been obtained by Final Order. If AT&T PCS declines (which
shall include the failure to give timely notice of acceptance) to accept the
Sale Offer, the Company shall have the right
48
<PAGE>
(for a period of ninety (90) days following the expiration of the thirty (30)
day acceptance period referred to above) to close a Sale Transaction on the
terms described in the Sale Offer (except that the price must be at least 95% of
the price set forth in the Sale Offer); provided however that, if the consent of
-------- -------
the FCC or any public service or public utilities commission is required, the
Sale Transaction may be closed not later than the fifth business day after all
such consents shall have been obtained by Final Order. If, after giving a Sale
Offer, the Company does not close a Sale Transaction in accordance with the
terms of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall not effect any
Sale Transaction without giving another Sale Notice in accordance with this
Section 7.4(d).
7.5 Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries. All of the Company's Subsidiaries shall be
-------------------------
direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries of the Company, and the Company
shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, sell or issue, transfer,
encumber or otherwise dispose of any shares of capital stock of any of the
Company's Subsidiaries to any Person other than the Company and its direct or
indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries, except for a pledge of any such shares in
connection with the incurrence of indebtedness.
7.6 Amendments of the Restated Certificate and By-Laws. Prior to the IPO
--------------------------------------------------
Date, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of AT&T PCS,
authorize or adopt any amendment, modification or repeal of any provision of the
Restated Certificate or the Restated By-Laws, unless such amendment is
consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
7.7 Confidentiality.
---------------
(a) Each party shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, and its
and their respective stockholders, members, managers, directors, officers,
employees and agents (collectively "Representatives") to, keep secret and retain
in strictest confidence any and all information relating to the Company or any
other party that is designated in writing by the party providing such
information or the Company as confidential ("Confidential Information") and
shall not disclose such information, and shall cause its Representatives not to
disclose such information, to anyone except such Affiliates, Representatives or
any other Person that agrees in writing to keep in confidence all such
information in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.7. Each party agrees
to use such information received from another party or the Company only in
connection with its ownership interest in the Company but not for any other
purpose. All such information furnished pursuant to this Agreement shall be
returned promptly to the party to whom it belongs upon request by such party.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, if a party or any of its
Affiliates or Representatives breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, this
Section 7.7, the party whose Confidential Information shall be disclosed, or
threatened to be disclosed, shall have the right and remedy to have this Section
7.7 specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being
acknowledged and agreed that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy
to such party. Nothing in this Section 7.7 shall be construed to limit the right
of any party to collect money damages in the event of breach of this Section
7.7.
49
<PAGE>
(c) Anything else in this Agreement notwithstanding, each party shall
have the right to disclose any information, including Confidential Information
of the other party or such other party's Affiliates, in any filing with any
regulatory agency, court or other authority or any disclosure to a trustee of
public debt of a party to the extent that the disclosing party determines in
good faith that it is required by Law, regulation or the terms of such debt to
do so; provided, however, that any such disclosure shall be as limited in scope
-------- -------
as possible and shall be made only after giving the other party as much notice
as practicable of such required disclosure and an opportunity to contest such
disclosure if possible.
7.8 IPO Date. In the event that the IPO Date shall not have occurred on or
--------
prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date hereof, the Company shall, at
the request of any Qualified Holder, as promptly as is reasonably practicable
after the date of such request, undertake a registration of Common Stock
pursuant to an effective Registration Statement that results in the occurrence
of the IPO Date; provided, however, that if the Board of Directors determines
-------- -------
that such registration would interfere with any pending or contemplated material
acquisition, disposition, financing or other material transaction, the Company
may defer such registration (including by withdrawing any Registration Statement
filed in connection with such registration); provided that the aggregate of all
--------
such deferrals shall not exceed one hundred twenty (120) days in any 360-day
period. Any such registration shall be pursuant to an underwritten offering.
Each Stockholder agrees to cooperate in such registration, including, without
limitation, entering into customary holdback agreements.
7.9 AT&T PCS Retained Licenses. In the event that AT&T PCS desires to
--------------------------
Transfer all or any of the AT&T PCS Retained Licenses in the Territory at any
time prior to the eighth anniversary of the date hereof, AT&T PCS shall give
written notice thereof to the Company at least thirty (30) days prior to
entering into a binding agreement to sell such AT&T PCS Retained Licenses in the
Territory such notice to specify among other things, the AT&T PCS Retained
Licenses in the Territory that it desires to sell. For a period of thirty (30)
days after the date such notice is given, the Company shall have the right to
negotiate with AT&T PCS with respect to the purchase of all, but not less than
all, of such AT&T Retained Licenses in the Territory; it being understood and
agreed that such right shall not be deemed to be a right of first offer or right
of first refusal for the benefit of the Company and AT&T PCS shall have the
right to reject any offer made by the Company during such thirty (30) day
period. In the event no binding agreement to sell all or any of such AT&T PCS
Retained Licenses in the Territory is entered into prior to the expiration of
the one hundred and eighty (180) day period following the expiration of such
(30) day period, such Licenses shall become subject once again to the provision
and restrictions hereof.
7.10 Regulatory Cooperation. Each of the Stockholders severally agrees to
----------------------
comply with the last sentence of Section 6.7 of the Securities Purchase
Agreement.
7.11 Permitted Transactions. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 7.4(a)
----------------------
and 8.4(a):
50
<PAGE>
(a) after completion of the Minimum Build-Out Plan and certification
that Company Systems meet the TDMA Quality Standards, the Company and its
Subsidiaries may effect a merger, combination of consolidation with or into a
Permitted Merger Participant or acquire all or substantially all of the assets
of a Permitted Merger Participant or sell all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company and its Subsidiaries to a Permitted Merger Participant (any such
transaction being referred to as a "Permitted Consolidation Transaction"), so
long as such transaction is approved by the Board of Directors and the holders
of the Company's capital stock to the extent such approval is required pursuant
to the Restated Certificate or applicable law;
(b) the Company may acquire FCC Licenses (each such License a
"Permitted Cellular License") authorizing the holder to provide in a specified
geographic area using specified frequencies in respect of which the Board of
Directors has determined that the acquisition of such License (and any other
assets being acquired together therewith) is a demonstrably superior alternative
to constructing a PCS System in the applicable area within the PCS Territory,
provided that, (i) a majority of the POPs included in the geographic area
- --------
covered by such License are within the PCS Territory, (ii) none of AT&T PCS, any
Affiliate thereof or any AT&T Licensee owns an interest in an FCC License to
provide Commercial Mobile Radio Service in such geographic area, and (iii) the
ownership of such License will not conflict with, or cause AT&T PCS, any
Affiliate thereof or any AT&T Licensee to be in violation or breach of any
agreement, instrument, Law or License applicable to or binding upon such Person
or its assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not acquire any
Permitted Cellular License if the acquisition of such License would adversely
affect the Company's ability to satisfy its obligations under the first sentence
of Section 8.1(b); and
(c) The Company may acquire licenses issued by the FCC to provide
wireless services (other than FCC Licenses) (each such license a "Permitted Non-
CMRS License") authorizing the holder to provide in a specified geographic area
using specified frequencies in respect of which the Board of Directors has
determined that the acquisition of such Permitted Non-CMRS License (and any
other assets being acquired together therewith) is necessary or desirable to
constructing a PCS System in the applicable area within the PCS Territory,
provided that, (i) the POPs included in the geographic area covered by such
- --------
License are within the PCS Territory, (ii) none of AT&T PCS or any Affiliate
thereof owns an interest in a similar Permitted Non-CMRS License in such
geographic area, (iii) the ownership of such License will not conflict with, or
cause AT&T PCS or any Affiliate thereof to be in violation or breach of any
agreement, instrument, Law or License applicable to or binding upon such Person
or its assets, and (iv) the service to be provided by the Company using such
Permitted Non-CMRS License complies with the definition of Business.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not acquire any Permitted Non-
CMRS License if the acquisition of such License would adversely affect the
Company's ability to satisfy its obligations under the first sentence of Section
8.1(b).
7.12 Springfield/Joplin. In the event that AT&T PCS shall propose to sell,
------------------
transfer or otherwise dispose of its interest in the Springfield/Joplin System
to any Person other than the Company, AT&T PCS agrees to negotiate in good faith
with the Company to sell the License for
51
<PAGE>
the Springfield/Joplin BTA to the Company; it being understood that AT&T PCS
shall have no obligation to sell such License to the Company unless the terms
thereof are satisfactory to AT&T PCS in its sole discretion. In the event the
Company does not acquire an FCC PCS License covering the Springfield/Joplin BTA,
the Minimum Build-Out Plan for the St. Louis MTA shall be deemed to be amended
to be the minimum build-out requirements under applicable FCC rules in lieu of
the build-out requirements set forth in the Minimum Build-Out Plan.
7.13 Covenant of Holders of Class C Common Stock. (a) Each holder of
-------------------------------------------
Class C Common Stock hereby covenants and agrees that, for so long as it is a
holder of any Class C Common Stock and for so long as required by FCC rules, it
will maintain its status as an "Institutional Investor", as such term is used in
47 CFR Section 24.720(h), and that it will give written notice to the Company
within five (5) days after such Stockholder becomes aware that it no longer
maintains such status for any reason (the "Transfer Event"). Upon the
--------------
occurrence of a Transfer Event with respect to any Stockholder under
circumstances such that (i) the failure of the Stockholder to maintain its
status as an Institutional Investor would compromise any of the material
benefits the Company derives as a "Very Small Business", as defined in 47 CFR
(S) 24.720(b)(2) or from the Company's eligibility to bid on frequency block "C"
or "F" licenses, as specified in 47 CFR Section 24.709 or be eligible to receive
any of the rights specified in 47CFR Sections 27.711, 24.712, 24.716 and 24.717
(collectively, the "Material Benefits") and (ii) the Stockholder is unable to
-----------------
obtain a waiver from the FCC regarding, or to cure, such Transfer Event or loss
of Material Benefits, the other holders of Class C Common Stock at the time
shall have the right to purchase any or all of such Stockholder's Class C Common
Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, or, if not so purchased by the other holders
of Series C Common Stock, by one or more Persons designated by the Company.
(b) Within fifteen (15) days of becoming aware that a Transfer Event
has occurred with respect to a Stockholder, the Company shall give the other
holders of Class C Common Stock notice of their right to purchase the
Stockholder's Class C Common Stock for the purchase price paid by such holder of
Class C Common Stock.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Stockholder which suffers a
Transfer Event may, if to do so would avoid the loss of Material Benefits, elect
to convert all or part of its Class C Common Stock to another class of Common
Stock which the Company has authorized, or to waive in writing such rights
pertaining to its ownership of such stock as may be necessary to avoid the loss
of Material Benefits, which election shall be made no later than five (5) days
before the FCC Determination Date.
8. Operating Arrangements.
----------------------
8.1 Construction of Company Systems.
-------------------------------
(a) The Company hereby agrees to construct, or cause its Subsidiaries
to construct, Company Systems covering the Territory on a schedule no less rapid
than is set forth in the Minimum Build-Out Plan. Company Systems shall be
technologically compatible in all
52
<PAGE>
material respects with systems being used in a Majority of the Central and
Southwest Region (including without limitation for the purpose of facilitating
roaming and hand-off between systems), and will to the extent technologically
feasible implement the same User Interface as such systems, with the intention
that the User Interface in Company Systems will not differ from the User
Interface in a Majority of the Central and Southwest Region in a manner that
would be material to customers.
(b) The Company and AT&T PCS hereby agree that the Company shall
assume and be obligated to satisfy the construction requirements set forth in 47
CFR 24.203 with respect to the AT&T PCS Retained Licenses in the Territory and
the AT&T PCS Licenses. The Company and AT&T PCS agree from time to time at the
request of the Company or AT&T PCS, as applicable, to provide the other with
information concerning the status of construction of its PCS Systems to enable
such party to determine the level of compliance with such construction
requirements with respect to the AT&T PCS Retained Licenses and AT&T PCS
Licenses, as applicable.
(c) The Company will arrange for all necessary microwave relocation
in connection with the AT&T PCS Licenses and pay, assume or (if applicable)
reimburse AT&T PCS or its Affiliates for any obligation to pay, any reasonable
costs incurred by it or AT&T PCS in connection with any such microwave
relocation, provided, that nothing contained herein shall require the Company to
--------
pay any costs incurred in connection with microwave relocation in connection
with the AT&T PCS Retained Licenses.
8.2 Service Features. Company Systems will offer the Core Service
----------------
Features. Company Systems will also offer, at the written request of AT&T PCS,
additional service features that AT&T PCS has notified the Company it will
provide in a Majority of the Central and Southwest Region, unless the Board of
Directors reasonably determines that the provision of such additional features
would be financially detrimental to the Company. Unless the Board of Directors
makes such a determination, any such additional features shall be adopted within
one hundred twenty (120) days after the request by AT&T PCS. The Critical
Network Elements are set forth on Schedule XI.
8.3 Quality Standards. The Company shall use commercially reasonable
-----------------
efforts to cause the Company Systems to comply with the TDMA Quality Standards.
Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to each material portion of a
Company System (such as a city) that the Company places in commercial service,
on or prior to the first anniversary of the date such material portion is placed
in commercial service, the Company shall cause each such material portion to
achieve a level of compliance with the TDMA Quality Standards equal to at least
the average level of compliance achieved by comparable PCS and Cellular Systems
owned and operated by AT&T PCS taking into account, among other things, the
relative stage of development thereof. In the event that the Company fails to
achieve such level of compliance, the Company shall not be deemed to be in
material breach of this provision if such non-compliance is cured within thirty
(30) days of notice thereof from AT&T PCS to the Company, or, if such breach is
not capable of being cured within such thirty (30) day period using
53
<PAGE>
commercially reasonable efforts, within one hundred eighty (180) days of such
notice, provided the Company is using commercially reasonable efforts to cure
--------
such material breach as soon as reasonably practicable.
8.4 No Change of Business.
---------------------
(a) Subject to Section 7.11, the Company will not, and will not
permit any of its Subsidiaries to, without obtaining the prior written consent
of AT&T PCS, do any of the following: (i) conduct, directly or indirectly, any
business other than the Business, (ii) make any material change to the Minimum
Build-Out Plan in the Territory, or (iii) effect any transaction, agreement or
arrangement which has or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of
materially impairing or materially limiting the ability of (x) subscribers to
Cellular Systems and PCS Systems in which AT&T PCS or its Affiliates have an
ownership interest to utilize the Company Systems for roaming, or (y) AT&T PCS
or its Affiliates to resell wireless service on the Company Systems; it being
understood that clause (i) shall not be deemed to restrict the business of the
Company in any Overlap Territory.
(b) During the period commencing on the date hereof through and
including the first anniversary of the date hereof, without obtaining the prior
written consent of each SBIC Holder, the Company will not, and will not permit
any of its Subsidiaries, to conduct, directly or indirectly, any business other
than the Business.
(c) If at any time during the term of this Agreement AT&T PCS and its
Affiliates determine to discontinue use of TDMA in a Majority of the United
States: (i) the Company will have the right to cease to use TDMA and may adopt
the new technology adopted by AT&T PCS and its Affiliates in a Majority of the
United States or implement any other alternative technology in Company Systems,
and, if it exercises such right, the definition of Company Systems shall be
automatically deemed to be modified by substituting a reference to such new or
alternative technology in lieu of the reference in such definition to TDMA, and
(ii) the obligations of AT&T PCS and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 8.6
shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, unless within sixty (60)
days of notice by AT&T PCS to the Company specifying that AT&T PCS and its
Affiliates have determined to discontinue use of TDMA in a Majority of the
United States, the Company agrees to implement in Company Systems on a
reasonable schedule the new technology adopted by AT&T PCS and its Affiliates in
a Majority of the United States. In the event AT&T PCS desires to test any
technology that is an alternative to TDMA in any PCS System or Cellular System
contiguous to the Territory, AT&T PCS hereby agrees to notify the Company at
least thirty (30) days before conducting such test and will conduct such tests
in a manner that does not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
8.5 Preferred Provider.
------------------
(a) The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not market, offer, provide
or resell interexchange services, except (i) interchange services that
constitute Company Communication Services and (ii) interexchange services
procured from AT&T Corp. or an Affiliate thereof
54
<PAGE>
designated by AT&T Corp. Such interexchange services shall be provided by AT&T
Corp. or such Affiliate at the same rates as the rates charged by AT&T Corp. or
such Affiliate to other similarly situated carriers. It is anticipated that such
services will be provided by AT&T Corp. or such Affiliate pursuant to an
agreement incorporating such rates.
(b) With respect to services other than interexchange services, when
the Company or a Subsidiary does not itself develop, or is not permitted to
develop, one or more telecommunications services that are offered or provided in
connection with the conduct of its Business (including, by way of example, local
telephone services or voicemail), but instead procures such services, the
Company shall request in writing that AT&T PCS provide such services (directly
or through an Affiliate designated by it) and, provided, that AT&T PCS (or a
designated Affiliate) offers to provide such telecommunication services to the
Company on reasonably competitive terms, the Company or such Subsidiary shall
procure such services from AT&T PCS (or such Affiliate thereof).
8.6 Exclusivity.
-----------
(a) None of the Stockholders or their respective Affiliates will
provide or resell, or act as the agent for any Person offering, within the
Territory, Company Communications Services except that, AT&T PCS and its
Affiliates may (i) resell, or act as the Company's agent for, Company
Communications Services provided by the Company in accordance with the Resale
Agreement (or any other agreement between AT&T PCS and its Affiliates, on the
one hand, and the Company, on the other hand), including bundling any such
Company Communications Services with other telecommunications services marketed,
offered and provided or resold by such Person, (ii) provide or resell wireless
telecommunications services to or from specific locations (such as buildings or
office complexes), even if the subscriber equipment used in connection with such
service may be capable of routine movement within a limited area (such as a
building or office complex), and even if such subscriber equipment may be
capable of obtaining other telecommunications services beyond such limited area
(which other services may include routine movement beyond such limited area) and
hand-off between the service to such specific locations and such other
telecommunications services; provided, however, that if AT&T PCS or any of its
Affiliates sells such mobile wireless subscriber equipment such equipment shall
be capable of providing (but not necessarily on an exclusive basis) Company
Communications Services and (iii) resell Company Communications Services
provided by a Person other than the Company in any geographical area within the
Territory in which the Company has not placed a Company System into commercial
service (it being understood that in the event that AT&T PCS or any of its
Affiliates that is reselling Company Communication Services of a Person other
than the Company in a geographic area within the Territory at the time the
Company places a portion of a Company System including such geographic area into
commercial service, AT&T PCS or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall terminate
such resale arrangement with respect to such geographic areas within thirty (30)
days of the date such portion of a Company System is placed in commercial
service). AT&T PCS agrees to provide the Company with not less than sixty (60)
days' prior notice of any resale activities described in clause (iii) hereof,
such notice to include a reasonable description of such
55
<PAGE>
resale activities and to use tri-mode phones, to the extent commercially
reasonable in connection with such resale activities. To the extent the "other
telecommunications services" referred to in clause (ii) of the first sentence of
this Section 8.6(a) constitute Company Communications Services, neither AT&T PCS
nor any of its Affiliates or any AT&T Licensee may provide or resell, or act as
agent for any Person offering, such "other telecommunications services" except
Company Communications Services provided by the Company in accordance with the
terms of clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 8.6(a). Nothing herein
shall be construed to limit in any respect any advertising and promotional and
similar activities by AT&T PCS or its Affiliates or any Cash Equity Investor or
any of its Affiliates.
(b) With respect to the markets listed on Schedules 1 and 2 to the
Roaming Agreement, each of AT&T PCS and the Company shall, and shall cause each
of its Affiliates to, in its and such Affiliates' capacity as Home Carrier: (i)
program and direct its authorized dealers to program the subscriber equipment
provided by it or such authorized dealers to its customers, at the time it is
provided to such customers, (to the extent such programming is technologically
feasible) so that the Company or AT&T PCS, as the case may be, and such
Affiliates, in its and such Affiliates' capacity as Serving Carrier, is the
preferred provider of Service in the markets listed on such Schedules 1 and 2,
and (ii) refrain, and direct its authorized dealers to refrain, from inducing
any of its customers to change or, except at such customer's request in the
event the quality of the Company's services do not meet industry standards,
changing the programming described in clause (i) above. For the purpose of this
Section 8.6(b), the terms "Affiliate," "Home Carrier" and "Serving Carrier"
shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Roaming Agreement.
8.7 Other Business; Duties; Etc. Except to the extent expressly set
----------------------------
forth in Section 8.6, AT&T PCS, TWR Cellular and each Cash Equity Investor and
any Person affiliated with AT&T PCS, TWR Cellular or a Cash Equity Investor may
engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures, and may engage in
any other activities, of every kind and description (whether or not competitive
with the business of the Company or otherwise affecting the Company),
independently or with others and shall owe no duty or liability to the Company,
the other Stockholders or their Affiliates in connection therewith. None of the
Company or the other Stockholders shall have any rights in or to such
independent ventures or the income or profits therefrom by virtue of this
Agreement or any of the Related Agreements. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, in the event that AT&T PCS, TWR Cellular or a Cash Equity
Investor or a Person affiliated with AT&T PCS, TWR Cellular or a Cash Equity
Investor develops inventions which are patentable or are otherwise trade secrets
relevant to the Business, AT&T PCS, TWR Cellular or such Cash Equity Investor or
affiliated Person shall nevertheless retain ownership of such invention and may
license it to the Company if the Company so desires and if mutually satisfactory
terms are agreed to. The Company shall also have the right to develop any
inventions related to the Business deemed desirable by it and to retain title to
such inventions. To the extent that, at law or in equity, AT&T PCS, TWR Cellular
or a Cash Equity Investor or any Person affiliated with AT&T PCS, TWR Cellular
or a Cash Equity Investor would have duties (including fiduciary duties) and
liabilities to the Company, or to the Stockholders, different from or in
addition to those provided in this Section 8.7 and Section 8.6
56
<PAGE>
with respect to the subject matter of such Sections, all rights of the Company
and the Stockholders arising out of such duties and liabilities are hereby
waived and no such Person shall be liable to the Company or to any Stockholder
for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Section 8.7.
8.8 Acknowledgments and Termination of Exclusivity.
----------------------------------------------
(a) The Stockholders hereby expressly acknowledge that none of the
Stockholders would have been willing to enter into this Agreement or make
contributions to the capital of the Company, except for each other Stockholder's
and its Affiliates willingness to enter into this Agreement (including without
limitation the provisions set forth in this Section 8) and the Related
Agreements.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing, and without limiting the remedies
that may be available to it at law or in equity, in the event of a Substantial
Company Breach, the obligations of AT&T PCS and its Affiliates (including TWR
Cellular) under Section 8.6 shall automatically terminate and be of no further
force or effect.
(c) Upon consummation of a Disqualifying Transaction, AT&T PCS may,
by notice to the Company, terminate its and its Affiliates' (including TWR
Cellular's) obligations under Section 8.6 with respect to any Overlap Territory,
provided that the obligations of AT&T PCS (including TWR Cellular) and its
- --------
Affiliates pursuant to Section 8.6(b)(ii) shall continue in effect with respect
to the then existing customers of the PCS Systems and Cellular Systems owned and
operated by AT&T PCS and its Affiliates (including TWR Cellular) (and their
respective successors pursuant to the applicable Disqualifying Transaction)
before giving effect to such Disqualifying Transaction, so long as such
customers remain customers of such systems and such systems continue to be owned
or operated by AT&T PCS or its Affiliates (including TWR Cellular).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company exercises its right
pursuant to Section 6.1 to convert all of the shares of Company Stock owned by
AT&T PCS (including TWR Cellular) into Series B Preferred Stock, the reference
in this Section 8.8(c) to the "Overlap Territory" shall be deemed to refer to
the Territory.
8.9 Equipment, Discounts and Roaming. AT&T PCS acknowledges and agrees
--------------------------------
that, subject to the terms of Sections 8.1 and 8.5, the Company shall have the
sole discretion to select (a) the equipment vendor(s) for the infrastructure to
be constructed by the Company and (b) billing and other vendors providing goods
and services to the Company. If reasonably requested by the Company, AT&T PCS
agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist representatives of
the Company in obtaining discounts from any AT&T PCS vendor with whom the
Company is negotiating for the purchase of any such subscriber or infrastructure
equipment or billing services. In addition, AT&T PCS agrees to use all
commercially reasonable efforts to enable the Company to become a party to the
roaming agreements between AT&T PCS and its Affiliates and operators of other
Cellular Systems and PCS Systems or, subject to the Company agreeing to the
obligations thereunder, entitled to the rights and benefits of AT&T PCS under
such roaming agreements. The two immediately preceding sentences shall not be
construed to
57
<PAGE>
require AT&T PCS or its Affiliates to take any action that AT&T PCS or such
Affiliate determines in its sole discretion to be adverse to its interests. AT&T
PCS may develop a roaming clearinghouse for AT&T Licensees, including the
Company, pursuant to which the Company's subscribers that are roaming on PCS or
Cellular Systems with which AT&T PCS or any of its Affiliates have entered into
a roaming agreement will be identified on such PCS or Cellular System as an AT&T
PCS subscriber, and settlement of roaming accounts for such Company subscribers
would be effected first between AT&T PCS and such PCS or Cellular System and
then settled between AT&T PCS and the Company. In the event AT&T PCS provides
such roaming clearinghouse to the Company, the per-subscriber handling charge to
the Company shall be commercially reasonable.
8.10 ANS Agreement. At the request of the Company, AT&T PCS shall cause
-------------
AWS to enter into an Advanced Network Services Agreement with the Company,
substantially in the form of Exhibit C.
8.11 Resale Agreements.
-----------------
(a) From time to time, upon the request of AT&T PCS, the Company
shall enter into a Resale Agreement relating to the Territory, substantially in
the form of Exhibit C to the Securities Purchase Agreement, with AT&T PCS and
any of its Affiliates and, with respect to any geographic area within the
Territory, one other Person designated by AT&T PCS, provided such other Person
--------
is licensed to provide telecommunications services in such geographic area under
the service marks used by AT&T Corp. and such other Person qualifies as a
reseller under any generally applicable standards the Company establishes for
its resellers from time to time and upon the request of AT&T PCS, the Company
shall enter into an agency agreement authorizing AT&T PCS and any of its
Affiliates and, with respect to any geographic area within the Territory, one
other Person designated by AT&T PCS, provided such other Person is licensed to
--------
provide telecommunications services in such geographic area under the service
marks used by AT&T Corp. and such other Person qualifies as an agent under any
generally applicable standards the Company establishes for its agents from time
to time. Any such agency agreements shall provide that the Company shall pay the
agent a commission at the rate then generally offered to the Company's agents
and shall otherwise be on commercially reasonable terms. At no time shall there
be more than one Person (other than AT&T PCS and its Affiliates) designated by
AT&T PCS as a reseller or an agent with respect to any geographic area within
the Territory.
(b) It is the intention of the parties that, in light of AT&T's PCS's
equity interest in the Company and the other arrangements between AT&T PCS and
its Affiliates and the Company (including the roaming revenues anticipated to be
earned by the Company from subscribers of AT&T PCS and its Affiliates), the
rates, terms and conditions of Service (as defined in the Resale Agreement)
provided by the Company pursuant to the Resale Agreement or any other agreement
between AT&T PCS or such other reseller and the Company shall be at least as
favorable to AT&T PCS or such other reseller, taken as a whole, as the rates,
terms and conditions of Service, taken as a whole, provided by the Company to
any other Customer (as
58
<PAGE>
defined in the Resale Agreement) and, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
such rates, terms and conditions shall be superior to those provided to any
other Customer. Without limiting the foregoing, the rate plans offered by the
Company pursuant to any Resale Agreement shall be designed to result in the
average actual rate per minute paid by the Reseller for Service being at least
25% below the weighted average actual rate per minute billed by the Company to
its subscribers for access and air time, but excluding revenues for features,
taxes, toll or other non-rate items. The Company and Reseller shall negotiate
commercially reasonable reductions to such resale rate based upon increased
volume commitments (including roaming charges incurred by subscribers of AT&T
PCS and its Affiliates).
8.12 Non-Solicitation.
----------------
(a) AT&T PCS hereby covenants and agrees that from and after the date
hereof until six months after the date on which it shall cease to own any Equity
Securities that neither AT&T PCS nor its Affiliates (including TWR Cellular)
shall solicit for employment any employee of the Company; provided however that,
-------- -------
nothing contained in this Section 8.12(a) shall prevent AT&T PCS or its
Affiliates (including TWR Cellular) from engaging in a general solicitation for
employment that is not directed at employees of the Company.
(b) The Company hereby covenants and agrees that from and after the
date hereof until six months after the date on which AT&T PCS or its Affiliates
(including TWR Cellular) shall cease to own any Equity Securities that neither
the Company nor its Affiliates (including TWR Cellular) shall solicit for
employment any employee of the AT&T PCS or its Affiliates; provided, however
that nothing contained in this Section 8.12(b) shall prevent the Company or its
Affiliates (including TWR Cellular) from engaging in a general solicitation for
employment that is not directed at employees of AT&T PCS and its Affiliates.
8.13 Co-Location. Except in any portion of the Territory as to which the
-----------
provisions of Section 8.6 shall have been terminated: (a) the Company agrees to

(c) Whenever in this Agreement the consent or approval of a
Stockholder is required, except as expressly provided herein, such consent or

termination pursuant to Section 12.3(a) and the IPO Date, (ii) the provisions of
Sections 3 and 4 shall terminate on the earlier to occur of a termination
pursuant to Section 12.3(a) and the expiration of ten (10) years from the date
hereof, (iii) the provisions of Sections 3.1(e) (relating to AT&T PCS' right to
approve the directors selected by the holders of the Voting Preference Stock
pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(ii) and any replacement for Messrs. Vento or Sullivan
to the Board of Directors), 3.11(a) (relating to AT&T PCS' right to approve the
directors selected by the Cash Equity Investors pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii)
and any individuals selected by the Management Stockholders and any replacement
thereof to the Board of Directors), 4.7(b), 7.4, 7.6 and 8.4(a), shall
terminate, and neither the Company nor any Stockholder shall be required to
obtain AT&T PCS's prior written consent as required under such Sections, on the
earlier to occur of (i) a termination pursuant to Section 12.3(a) and (ii) (x)
with respect to the period prior to the eighth anniversary of the date hereof,
the date on which AT&T PCS and TWR Cellular shall cease to Beneficially Own, in
the aggregate, more than two-thirds of the number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock that AT&T PCS and TWR Cellular Beneficially Own, in the
aggregate, on the date hereof and (y) with respect to the period after the
eighth anniversary of the date hereof on which AT&T PCS and TWR Cellular shall
cease to Beneficially Own, in the aggregate, more than two-thirds of the number
of shares of Class A Voting Common Stock that AT&T PCS and TWR Cellular
63
<PAGE>
Beneficially Owns, in the aggregate, on such eighth anniversary date, (iv) the
provisions of Section 3.1 shall terminate on the later to occur of (x) the date
that the holders of shares of Voting Preference Stock shall vote as a class with

the IPO Date shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.11 and (v) the
provisions of 3.6 shall terminate on the date that the holders of shares of
Voting Preference Stock shall vote as a class with holders of Class A Voting
Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
provisions of Section 3.11(a)(ii), (b), (c) and (d) shall terminate on the
earlier to occur of a termination pursuant to Section 12.3 (a) and the date
after the IPO Date.
(c) (i) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
in the event the Cash Equity Investors shall Beneficially Own less than (I) one-
half but more than one-quarter of the number of shares of Common Stock
Beneficially Owned by the Cash Equity Investors on the date hereof, the number
of directors the Cash Equity Investors shall be permitted to designate under
Section 3.1(a) shall be reduced to one, or (II) one-quarter of the number of
shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by the Cash Equity Investors on the
date hereof, the provisions of Section 3.1(a) and the provisions of Sections
3.1(e) (relating to the Cash Equity Investors' right to approve the directors
selected by the holders of the Voting Preference Stock pursuant to Section
3.1(e)(i) and (ii)) and the right to approve any director that replaces Messrs.
Vento or Sullivan on the Board of Directors shall terminate, and neither the
Company nor any Stockholder shall be required to obtain the Cash Equity
Investors' prior written consent as required under such Sections. In the event
the number of directors the Cash Equity Investors are entitled to designate is
reduced pursuant to Section 12.3(c)(i)(I), two of the directors designated by
the Cash Equity Investors under Section 3.1(a)(i) shall resign (or the other
directors or Stockholders shall remove them from the Board of Directors) and the
remaining directors shall take such action so that the number of directors
constituting the entire Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. In the
event the provisions of Section 3.1(a) and 3.1(e) are terminated pursuant to
Section 12.3(c)(i)(II), the directors designated by the Cash Equity Investors
pursuant to Section 3.1(a) and the directors designated pursuant to Section
3.1(e)(i) shall resign (or the other directors or Stockholders shall remove them
from the Board of Directors) and the remaining directors shall take such action
so that the number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors is
reduced to seven (7) individuals. The holders of the Voting Preference Stock
shall thereafter have the right to designate three (3) individuals to the Board
of Directors provided each such individual is acceptable to AT&T PCS (so long as
AT&T PCS and TWR Cellular continues to Beneficially Own, in the aggregate, more
than two-thirds of the Common Stock Beneficially Owned by AT&T PCS and TWR
Cellular, in the aggregate, on the date hereof). For all purposes of this
Agreement (other than Section 3.1(a)), all references in this Agreement to
directors designated pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(ii) shall thereafter be deemed
to refer to the three (3) directors designated pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
in the event that the composition of the Board of Directors shall be determined
in accordance with Section 3.11 and the Cash Equity Investors shall Beneficially
Own less than (I) one-half but
64
<PAGE>
more than one-quarter of the number of shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned
by the Cash Equity Investors on the date hereof, then notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 3.11 the number of directors the Cash Equity Investors
shall be permitted to designate under Section 3.11(a), shall be reduced to one,
or (II) one-quarter of the number of shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned
by the Cash Equity Investors on the date hereof, the provisions of Section
3.11(a), shall terminate. In the event that the composition of the Board of
Directors shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.11 and the number of
directors the Cash Equity Investors are entitled to designate is reduced
pursuant to Section 12.3(c)(ii)(I), one of the directors designated by the Cash
Equity Investors under Section 3.11(a)(i) shall resign (or the other directors
or Stockholders shall remove them from the Board of Directors) and the remaining
directors shall take such action so that the number of directors constituting
the entire Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. In the event the
composition of the Board of Directors shall be determined in accordance with
Section 3.11 and the provisions of Section 3.11(a) are terminated pursuant to
Section 12.3(c)(ii)(II), the directors designated by the Cash Equity Investors
pursuant to Section 3.11(a) shall resign (or the other directors or Stockholders
shall remove them from the Board of Directors) and the remaining directors shall
take such action so that the number of directors constituting the entire Board
of Directors is reduced by two (2) individuals. Messrs. Sullivan and Vento (in
each case so long as he is an officer of the Company) shall thereafter have the
right to designate two (2) individuals to the Board of Directors provided such
individual is acceptable to AT&T PCS (so long as AT&T PCS and TWR Cellular
continue to Beneficially Own more than two-thirds of the Common Stock
Beneficially Owned by AT&T PCS and TWR Cellular, in the aggregate, on the date
hereof). For all purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 3.11(a)), all
references in this Agreement to directors designated pursuant to Section
3.11(a)(ii) shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the two (2) directors
designated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
12.4 Survival. Nothing contained in Section 12.3 shall impair any rights or
--------
obligations of any party hereto arising prior to the time of the termination of
this Agreement, or which may arise by an event causing the termination of this
Agreement. The provisions of Section 5 shall survive any termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 12.3 and shall continue in full force and effect
until the twentieth anniversary of the date hereof. The provisions of Section
7.7 and Article 12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
12.5 Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any Stockholder in
------
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, nor any course of dealing
between the Company and any Stockholder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder
preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights and remedies which any Stockholder would otherwise
have. No notice to or demand on the Company in any case shall entitle the
Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Stockholders or any of
them to take any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or
demand.
65
<PAGE>
12.6 Obligations Several. The obligations of each Stockholder under this
-------------------
Agreement shall be several with respect to each such Stockholder.
12.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in
-------------
accordance with the law of the State of Delaware.
12.8 Dispute Resolution.
------------------
(a) The parties shall use and strictly adhere to the following
dispute resolution processes, except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Section 12.8, to resolve any and all disputes, controversies or claims, whether
based on contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or
equitable theory (hereinafter, "Dispute(s)"), arising out of or relating to this
Agreement (and any prior agreement this Agreement supersedes), including without
limitation, its making, termination, non-renewal, its alleged breach and the
subject matter of this Agreement (e.g., products or services furnished hereunder
or those related to those furnished):
(b) The parties shall first attempt to settle each Dispute
through good faith negotiations. The aggrieved party shall initiate such
negotiations by giving the other party(ies) written notice of the existence and
nature of the Dispute. The other party(ies) shall in a writing to the aggrieved
party acknowledge such notice of Dispute within ten (10) business days. Such
acknowledgment may also set forth any Dispute that the acknowledging party
desires to have resolved in accordance with this Section.
(c) Thereafter, if any Dispute is not resolved by the parties
through negotiation within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of the notice
of acknowledgment, either party may terminate informal negotiations with respect
to that Dispute and request that the Dispute be submitted to non-binding
mediation. Any mediation of a Dispute under this Section shall be conducted by
the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution ("CPR") in accordance with the then
current CPR "Model Mediation Procedure for Business Disputes" ("Model
Procedures") and the procedures specified in this Section to the extent that
they conflict with, modify or add to such Model Procedures. Any demand for
initiation of mediation of a Dispute must be given in writing to both the other
party(ies) involved and to the CPR and must set forth the nature of the Dispute.
Each party to the mediation shall bear its own expenses with respect to
mediation and the parties shall share equally the fees and expenses of the CPR
and the mediator. The failure by a party to timely pay its share of the
mediation fees and expenses of the CPR and the mediator shall be a bar to
arbitration under Section 12.8(d) of that party's Dispute(s). Any mediation
under this Section shall be conducted within the State of New York at a site
selected by the mediator that is reasonably convenient to the parties. Each
party shall be represented in the mediation by representatives having final
settlement authority with respect to the Dispute(s). All information and
documents disclosed in mediation by any party shall remain private and
confidential to the disclosing party and may not be disclosed by any party
outside the mediation. No privilege or right with respect to any information or
document disclosed in mediation shall be waived or lost by such disclosure.
66
<PAGE>
(d) Any Dispute not finally resolved after negotiation and
mediation in accordance with Section 12.8(b) and 12.8(c) shall, upon the written
demand of any involved party delivered to the other party(ies) and the CPR, be
finally resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the then current
CPR "Non-Administered Arbitration Rules" ("Arbitration Rules") and the
procedures specified in this Section to the extent that they conflict with,
modify or add to such Arbitration Rules. Any Dispute of any other party not
finally resolved after negotiation and mediation pursuant to this Section may be
made a part of the arbitration demanded by another party, provided that the
written notice of demand for arbitration of that Dispute is received by the CPR
before selection of an arbitrator by the CPR. Any demand for arbitration of a
Dispute received by the CPR after the selection of the arbitrator must be
resolved through a separate arbitration proceeding in accordance with this
Section. Each party shall bear its own expenses with respect to arbitration and
the parties shall share equally the fees and expenses of the CPR and the
arbitrator. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing, the
arbitration shall be conducted by one (1) neutral arbitrator. The arbitration
shall be conducted in the State of New York at a site selected by the arbitrator
that is reasonably convenient to the parties. The arbitrator shall be bound by
and strictly enforce the terms of the Agreement and may not limit, expand, or
otherwise modify the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall make a good
faith effort to apply applicable law, but an arbitration decision and award
shall not be subject to review because of errors of law. The arbitrator shall
have the sole authority to resolve issues of the arbitrability of any Dispute,
including the applicability or running of any statute of limitation. The
arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in connection with any Dispute
in excess of actual compensatory damages or to award punitive damages and each
party irrevocably waives any claim thereto. The arbitrator shall not have the
power to order pre-hearing discovery of documents or the taking of depositions.
The arbitrator may compel, to the extent provided by the FAA, attendance of
witnesses and the production of documents at the hearing. The arbitrator's
decision and award shall be made and delivered to the parties within six (6)
months of selection of the arbitrator by the CPR and judgment on the award by
the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.
(e) This Section shall be interpreted, governed by and
enforced in accordance with the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections
1-14 (the "Federal Arbitration Act" or "FAA"). The laws of the State of New
York, except those pertaining to choice of law, arbitration of disputes and
those pertaining to the time limits for bringing an action that conflict with
the terms of this Dispute Resolution provision, shall govern all other
substantive matters pertaining to the interpretation and enforcement of the
other terms of this Agreement with respect to any Dispute. Any party to a
Dispute, which is the subject of a notice initiating the Dispute resolution
procedures under this Section, may seek a temporary injunction in any state or
federal court of competent jurisdiction to the limited extent necessary to
preserve the status quo during the pendency of final resolution of a Dispute in
accordance with this Section. If court proceedings to stay litigation of a
Dispute or compel arbitration of a Dispute are necessary, the party who
unsuccessfully opposes such proceedings shall pay all associated costs,
expenses, and attorneys' fees that the other party reasonably incurs in
connection with such court proceedings. An order to pay such costs, expenses and
attorney fees shall become part of any decision and award of the arbitrator of
the Dispute. An arbitrator appointed pursuant
67
<PAGE>
to Section 12.8(d) to resolve a Dispute may also issue such injunctive orders
and shall have the power to modify or dissolve the injunctive order of any court
to the extent it pertains to the Dispute which the arbitrator has been selected
to finally resolve. The parties, their representatives, other participants, and
the mediator and arbitrator shall hold the existence, content, and result of the
mediation and arbitration of a Dispute in confidence except to the limited
extent necessary to enforce a final settlement agreement or to obtain and secure
enforcement of or a judgment on an arbitration decision and award.
(f) The statute(s) of limitation applicable to any Dispute
shall be tolled upon initiation of the Dispute resolution procedures under this
Section and shall remain tolled until the Dispute is resolved by mediation or
arbitration under this Section. Tolling shall cease if the aggrieved party with
a Dispute does not initiate mediation within sixty (60) calendar days after good
faith negotiations are terminated by any party and, after mediation of a
Dispute, if the aggrieved party with a Dispute does not initiate a demand for
arbitration within sixty (60) calendar days after mediation is terminated.
However, any Dispute is forever barred that has not expressly been made the
subject of the written notice required under Section 12.8(b) above within 365
days after the date the Party asserting the Dispute first knows or should have
known of the existence of the acts or omissions that give rise to such Dispute.
(g) Unless the parties mutually agree in writing, Disputes
relating to trademarks (including service marks), patents and copyrights shall
not be resolved in accordance with the Dispute resolution procedures set forth
in this Section and shall be resolved as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
(h) The Company and each of the Stockholders hereby
irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal
courts in the State of New York, and all state or federal courts competent to
hear appeals therefrom, over any actions which may be commenced against any of
them under or in connection with this Agreement. The Company and each
Stockholder hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, any objection which any of them may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of
inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute in the Southern District
of New York and New York County. The Company and each Stockholder hereby agree
that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. The Company and
each Stockholder hereby consent to process being served by any party to this
Agreement in any actions by the transmittal of a copy thereof in accordance with
the provisions of Section 12.1.
12.9 Benefit and Binding Effect; Severability. This Agreement shall be
----------------------------------------
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and
assigns, and each of the Stockholders and their respective executors,
administrators and personal representatives and heirs and permitted assigns. If
any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable
of being enforced by any law or public policy or any listing requirement
applicable to the Common Stock, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement
shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that
any term or other provision is invalid,
68
<PAGE>
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto affected by such
determination in any material respect shall negotiate in good faith to modify
this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as
possible in an acceptable manner in order that the provisions hereof are given
effect as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
12.10 Amendment of By-Laws. The Stockholders agree that the terms of this
--------------------
Agreement shall supersede any inconsistent provision that is contained in the
Restated By-Laws and, to the extent required by Delaware law or the Restated By-
Laws, this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a written action taken by the
Stockholders of the Company and shall be deemed an amendment of the Restated By-
Laws.
12.11 Authorized Agent of AT&T PCS. AT&T PCS hereby authorizes Wireless
----------------------------
PCS, Inc. as its agent, with full power to execute, in the name of and on behalf
of AT&T PCS, the Related Agreements to which AT&T PCS is a party and any and all
other documents that AT&T PCS is required to execute and deliver, and to give

------------
to the contrary, no transaction or action contemplated herein shall be

--------
counsel to the Stockholders incurred in connection with the preparation,
negotiation and execution of this Agreement and of any amendment or modification
hereof. Except as provided in Sections 5(g) and 12.14, all other attorneys' fees
incurred by the Stockholders in connection with this Agreement (including,

consents) shall be borne by the Stockholder(s) incurring such fees.
12.14 Attorneys' Fees. In any action or proceeding brought to enforce any
---------------
provision of this Agreement, or where any provision hereof is validly asserted

Core Features
-------------
Below is a list and description of the Core Features that Licensee agrees to
implement in accordance with Section 8.2 of this Agreement. These definitions
are functional descriptions of the Core Features, and the parties agree that
such Core Features shall be implemented using the Critical Network Elements
identified in Schedule XI hereto. Licensee further agrees to implement
additional features in accordance with Section 8.2 of this Agreement.
1. Call Delivery
This capability permits a PCS customer to receive incoming calls to his or
her phone while in his or her home market or while roaming in any part of the
Licensee's Wireless Network or the AWS Wireless Network (together, the "Mobile
Wireless Network").
2. Roaming - Do Not Disturb
This capability permits a PCS customer, who would normally receive all
incoming calls while visiting a Mobile Switching Center that is part of the
Mobile Wireless Network, to temporarily inhibit the delivery of such calls.
Activating this capability has no impact on the PCS customer's ability to
originate calls or on the PCS customer's ability to receive calls via the roamer
access ports.
3. Call Forwarding
A. Call Forwarding Immediate
This capability permits a PCS customer to send all incoming calls destined
for the PCS customer's PCS phone to another phone number specified by the
PCS customer. Activating this capability has no impact on the PCS
customer's ability to originate calls. When this capability is activated,
calls are forwarded regardless of whether the PCS customer is located
within his or her local market or whether the customer is roaming outside
of such local market.
B. Call Forwarding Busy
This capability permits a PCS customer to send all incoming calls destined
for his or her PCS phone to another phone number specified by the PCS
customer when the PCS customer is engaged in a call.
<PAGE>
C. Call Forwarding No Answer
This capability permits a PCS customer to send all incoming calls destined
for his or her PCS phone to another phone number specified by the PCS
customer when the PCS customer does not answer or when the PCS customer's
PCS phone does not respond to a page.
4. Call Waiting
This capability permits a PCS customer to receive incoming calls even
though a call may already be in progress.
5. Voicemail
This capability forwards those PCS customer's incoming calls which are not
answered by the PCS customer, and for which no other explicit treatment has been
activated (for example, those described in items above), to a voice storage and
retrieval system. This capability also permits a PCS customer to subsequently
retrieve messages from the PCS customer's voice mail box.
6. Three Way Calling
This capability permits a PCS customer to add a third party to an active
two party call.
7. Message Waiting Indicator
This capability is an enhancement to PCS voice mail, and provides the PCS
customer with the current status of the number of unheard voice mail messages
waiting in his or her PCS voice mail box.
8. Calling Number Identification
This capability identifies for the PCS customer either the telephone number
or the stored name (in the PCS phone) of the person who is calling. It also
permits a PCS customer to inhibit the ability of a person to whom the PCS
customer is placing a call from identifying either the telephone number or the
name of such PCS customer who is placing the call.
9. Wireless Office Service (WOS)
A. PCS/PBX Interworking
This capability permits WOS customers to have just one published number
that delivers all incoming calls to both the PCS and PBX phone.
2
<PAGE>
B. Private Number Plan
This capability permits a defined group of customers to call defined
private network extensions by using an abbreviated unique dialing pattern
(four digit dialing).
C. Private Networks
This capability permits a WOS customer to have his or her own private or
semiprivate PCS system.
D. Location ID
This capability permits the PCS customer to identify the nature of the
system (private, public, or residential) that the PCS customer is using, by
displaying the system's name on the PCS phone.
10. Sleep Mode
This capability permits an IS 136 PCS phone to operate in a power saving
mode when camping on an IS 136 system, thereby allowing the battery standby time
to increase.
11. PCS Messaging
This capability will permit a caller to deliver both numeric and
alphanumeric messages of up to eighty characters to an IS 136 PCS phone. If the
PCS customer to whom the message has been delivered has his or her phone off or
is not in the IS 136 coverage area, then messages are stored for future
delivery.
MessageFlash software permits alphanumeric messages to be sent from a
computer via a standard modem to the customer.
E-Mail messaging teleservice allowing an IS-136 phone to have an E-Mail
address.
12. Authentication

Schedule VII
Quality and Reporting Standards
-------------------------------
General Overview
This Schedule VII sets out the Network and Reporting Standards with which
Licensee shall comply pursuant to Section 8.2 of this Agreement. These Standards
set out the network performance metrics and the process by which such metrics
will be established, measured and reported. All metrics which represent a
defined standard of quality for acceptable network operations have, or will
have, specific targets which the Licensee must comply with in accordance with
the following network standards.
I. NETWORK STANDARDS
There are three categories of Network Standards: network quality (the "Network
Quality Category"); system performance (the "System Performance Category"); and
audio quality (the "Audio Quality Category") (each hereafter referred to
generally as a "Category"). For each Category of Network Standards, specific
metrics have been identified to measure performance in each such Category. The
detailed description of how to measure and interpret the metrics for each
Category is set out in the following AWS documents (each referred to generally
as a "Network Standards Document"):
. Network Quality Category: Document ES-4034, Revision 1.1, dated July 30,
------------------------
1997 entitled "Network Quality Scorecard User Guide" (as referred to as the
"Network Quality Standards Document"). This document is a collection of key
network performance and traffic indicators (metrics) that are measured and
reported on a regular basis. Included in this category, Licensee shall
perform the ANS Consistency Test, as attached to this Schedule VII.
. System Performance Category: OSS draft document, Revision 0.7, dated June
---------------------------
17, 1997 entitled "Key Metrics for System Performance Document" (as
referred to as the "System Performance Standards Document"). This document
identifies the network-wide key metrics for Ericsson and Lucent switching
systems, as well as cell sites, which will provide a high level assessment
of the system.
. Audio Quality Category: Document PP-4027E, Revision 1.1, dated May 30, 1996
----------------------
entitled "Audio Quality Measurement (AQM)" (as referred to as the "Audio
Quality Standards Document"). This document provides the basis for
assessing the quality of RF transmission by describing the standards for
performing audio quality measurements and the reporting of their results.
AWS measures the metrics for the Audio Quality Category using the "Radio
Quality Scorecard". The Radio Quality Scorecard is comprised of performance
statistics derived from driving the PCS system using the Buzzard tool or a
tool with similar measurement and reporting capability.
<PAGE>
These Network Standards Documents are collectively attached to this Schedule VII
which, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement including, without
limitation, this Schedule VII, is hereby incorporated into and forms a part of
this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between any part of a Network
Standards Document and the provisions of this Schedule VII, the provisions of
this Schedule VII shall govern.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement including, without limitation,
this Schedule VII, the parties acknowledge and confirm that the Network
Standards Documents represent the standards and metrics currently identified by
AWS as applicable to each Category. Target values for key quality related
metrics are contained herein and Licensee agrees to comply with the specific
metric target values as specified in Schedule VII.
In addition, the parties acknowledge and confirm that the Network Standards
Documents are subject to revision and the Licensee shall comply with subsequent
revisions to these Network Standards Documents, as well as with Call Center
Quality Standards which will constitute an additional Category once they are
formally implemented, in accordance with Section 8.2 of this Agreement.
Set out below is a brief description of each Category of Network Standard and
the currently established metrics for each such Category.
II. TARGETS FOR NETWORK STANDARDS
Licensee shall meet the following targets for key metrics which represent
overall network and system quality. These targets are subject to revision and
shall be implemented in accordance with Section 8.2 of this Agreement.
. % Established Calls: The percentage of call attempts to and from a mobile
-------------------
phone that result in a successful voice channel assignment. The target goal
for this metric is 93%.
. % Dropped Calls: The percentage of established calls, as defined below,
---------------
which terminate abnormally. The target, goal for this metric is a drop call
rate of 1.7% or less.
. % Handoff Failures: The target goal for this metric is a handoff failure
------------------
rate of 1.5%.
. Failures per Erlang: The ratio of failed calls to carried traffic, where
-------------------
failed calls are measured utilizing switch counters for originating and
terminating traffic, and carried traffic is measured in erlangs. The target
goal for this metric is 1.68.
. Switch Outage Time: The amount of time (in minutes) in a month when
------------------
subscribers are impacted by a cellular switch outage. Target for this
metric is 10 minutes per switch per
2
<PAGE>
year, with all ten minutes occurring the maintenance window between 12:00
am and 5:00 am.
. % Blocking - Cell Routes: Percentage of time all cellular traffic channels
------------------------
(voice paths in a trunk group) are unavailable within a given measurement
interval. Target for this metric is 5%.
. % Blocking- - Network Routes: Percentage of time all network traffic
----------------------------
channels are unavailable within the measurement interval. Target for this
metric is 5%.
. ANS Consistency Test: The percentage of successful ANS feature deliveries,
--------------------
based on the following sequence: feature activation/deactivation (when
applicable), test call, correct response, and call termination. The target
goal for this metric is 96% for all ANS features. This target metric
includes feature delivery failures due to call processing failures (i.e.
call delivery, call origination, handoff failures, or dropped calls. These
failures are estimated to be approximately 4%.)
III. REPORTING STANDARDS
Licensee agrees to comply with the reporting requirements as specified in the
Network Standards Documents and as specified below:
. Except as specified Audio Quality Network Standards, Licensee will submit
the metric reports required pursuant to this Schedule VII (the "Results")
to AWS no less than quarterly.
. With respect to Audio Quality Network Standards, Licensee shall only submit
quarterly Results for markets with 10,000 or more subscribers; for markets
with less than 10,000 subscribers, Licensee shall only submit Results on a
semi-annual basis.
. Licensee shall submit all Results by the fifteenth day of the month
following the end of the applicable reporting period.
. Licensee will report the Results to AWS on an aggregated national basis;
the aggregated national Results will reflect the distribution of the metric
measured across Licensee's Territory. Licensee may also be required to
provide a breakdown, by market, of any metric.

generally on the New York
<PAGE>
22
Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market
shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum prices shall have been

financial conditions (or the effect of international conditions on the
financial markets in the United States shall be such) the effect of which,
in the case of this clause (iv), is, in the judgment of the Initial

inadvisable to proceed with the sale or the delivery of the Securities on
the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and in the
Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).
All opinions, letters, evidence and certificates mentioned above or
elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to be in compliance with the

7. Defaulting Initial Purchasers. (a) If, on the Closing Date, any
Initial Purchaser defaults in the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers may make arrangements for the
purchase of the Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but
failed to purchase by other persons satisfactory to the Company and the non-
defaulting Initial Purchasers, but if no such arrangements are made within 36
hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on
the part of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or the Company, except that
the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor will continue to be liable for the
payment of expenses to the extent set forth in Sections 8 and 12 and except that
the provisions of Sections 9 and 10 shall not terminate and shall remain in
effect. As used in this Agreement, the term "Initial Purchasers" includes, for
all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any party
not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 7, purchases
Securities which a defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase.
(b) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial
Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Company or any non-defaulting
Initial Purchaser for damages caused by its default. If other persons are
obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser,
either the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or the Company may postpone the
Closing Date for up to seven full business days in order to effect any changes
that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Initial
Purchasers may be necessary in the Offering Memorandum or in any other document
or arrangement, and the Company agrees to
<PAGE>
23
promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Offering Memorandum that
effects any such changes.
8. Reimbursement of Initial Purchasers' Expenses. If (a) this
Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 6 or 7, (b) the Company
shall fail to tender the Securities for delivery to the Initial Purchasers for
any reason permitted under this Agreement or (c) the Initial Purchasers shall
decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this
Agreement, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor shall reimburse the Initial
Purchasers for such out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel) as shall have been reasonably incurred by the Initial
Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase and
resale of the Securities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7
by reason of the default of one or more of the Initial Purchasers, the Company
and the Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting
Initial Purchaser on account of such expenses.
9. Indemnification. (a) The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor
shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser,
its affiliates, their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives
and agents, and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within
the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively referred to
for purposes of this Section 9(a) and Section 10 as an Initial Purchaser), from
and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any
action in respect thereof (including, without limitation, any loss, claim,
damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of the Securities),
to which that Initial Purchaser may become subject, whether commenced or
threatened, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other federal or
state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or in any information provided by the Company
pursuant to Section 4(e) or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, and shall reimburse each Initial Purchaser promptly
upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by that Initial
Purchaser in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend
against or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided,
however, that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be liable in
any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in
reliance upon and in conformity with any Initial Purchasers' Information; and
provided, further, that with respect to any such untrue statement in or omission
from the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the indemnity agreement contained in
this Section 9(a) shall not inure to the benefit of any such Initial Purchaser
to the extent that the sale to the person asserting any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action was an initial resale by such Initial Purchaser and
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action of or with respect to such
Initial Purchaser results from the fact that both (A) to the extent required by
applicable law, a copy of the Offering Memorandum was not sent or given to such
person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Securities to
such person and (B) the untrue statement in or
<PAGE>
24
omission from the Preliminary Offering Memorandum was corrected in the Offering
Memorandum unless, in either case, such failure to deliver the Offering
Memorandum was a result of non-compliance by the Company with Section 4(b).
(b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, their respective
officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, and each person, if
any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act (collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 9(b) and
Section 10 as the Company), from and against any loss, claim, damage or
liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the
Company may become subject, whether commenced or threatened, under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other federal or state statutory law or
regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary
Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement
thereto or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance
upon and in conformity with any Initial Purchasers' Information, and shall
reimburse the Company promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending
or preparing to defend against or appearing as a third party witness in
connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such
expenses are incurred.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
9 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified
party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party pursuant to Section 9(a) or 9(b), notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided,
however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it
from any liability which it may have under this Section 9 except to the extent
that it has been prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or
defenses) by such failure; and, provided, further, that the failure to notify
the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have
to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 9. If any such claim
or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the
indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other
similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the
indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to
the indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that an
indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such
action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel for the
indemnified party will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i)
the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in
writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnified party has reasonably
concluded (based upon advice of counsel to the indemnified party) that there may
be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are
different from or in addition to those
<PAGE>
25
available to the indemnifying party, (iii) a conflict or potential conflict
exists (based upon advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying
party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of
the indemnified party) or (iv) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to assume the defense
of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the
commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees,
disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the
indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or
parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in
the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and
other charges of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any
local counsel) at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. Each
indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained in
Sections 9(a) and 9(b), shall use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with the
indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying
party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its
written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if
settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the
plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by
reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the
prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a
party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party
unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified
party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding.
The obligations of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor and the
Initial Purchasers in this Section 9 and in Section 10 are in addition to any
other liability that the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor or the Initial
Purchasers, as the case may be, may otherwise have, including in respect of any
breaches of representations, warranties and agreements made herein by any such
party.
10. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 9
is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
Section 9(a) or 9(b), then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or
action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantor on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other from the
offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i)
above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but
also the relative fault of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor on the one
hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other with respect to the statements or
omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in
respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative benefits received by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor on the
one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other with respect to such offering
shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the
offering of the Securities purchased under this Agreement (before deducting
expenses) received by or on behalf of the Company and the
<PAGE>
26
Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the total discounts and commissions
received by the Initial Purchasers with respect to the Securities purchased
under this Agreement, on the other, bear to the total gross proceeds from the
sale of the Securities under this Agreement. The relative fault shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to the Company or information supplied by the Company
and the Subsidiary Guarantor on the one hand or to any Initial Purchasers'
Information on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
untrue statement or omission. The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor and the
Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contributions pursuant to this Section 10 were to be determined by pro rata
allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by
an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or
action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 10 shall be deemed
to include, for purposes of this Section 10, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
or defending or preparing to defend any such action or claim. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 10, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and
commissions received by such Initial Purchaser with respect to the Securities
purchased by it under this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which
such Initial Purchaser has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of
any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers'
obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 10 are several in
proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint.
11. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Initial Purchasers, the Company,
the Subsidiary Guarantor and their respective successors. This Agreement and
the terms and provisions hereof are for the sole benefit of only those persons,
except as provided in Sections 9 and 10 with respect to affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, representatives, agents and controlling persons of the
Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor and the Initial Purchasers and in Section 4(e)
with respect to holders and prospective purchasers of the Securities. Nothing
in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other
than the persons referred to in this Section 11, any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained
herein.
12. Expenses. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor agree with
the Initial Purchasers to pay (a) the costs incident to the authorization,
issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable
in that connection; (b) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and
distribution of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Offering Memorandum and
any amendments or supplements thereto; (c) the costs of reproducing and
distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (d) the costs incident to the
preparation, printing and delivery of the certificates evidencing the
Securities, including stamp duties and transfer taxes, if any, payable upon
issuance of the Securities; (e) the fees and expenses of the Company's counsel
and independent accountants; (f) the fees and expenses of qualifying the
<PAGE>
27
Securities under the securities laws of the several jurisdictions as provided in
Section 4(h) and of preparing, printing and distributing Blue Sky Memoranda
(including related fees and expenses of counsel for the Initial Purchasers); (g)
any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (h) the fees and
expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and
expenses of any counsel to such parties); (i) all expenses and application fees
incurred in connection with the application for the inclusion of the Securities
on the PORTAL Market and the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer
by DTC; and (j) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the
obligations of the Company under this Agreement which are not otherwise
specifically provided for in this Section 12; provided, however, that except as
provided in this Section 12 and Section 8, the Initial Purchasers shall pay
their own costs and expenses.
13. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution,
representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the Subsidiary
Guarantor and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or made by or
on behalf of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor or the Initial Purchasers
pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall
survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full
force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancelation of this Agreement
or any investigation made by or on behalf of any of them or any of their
respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents
or controlling persons.
14. Notices, etc. All statements, requests, notices and agreements
hereunder shall be in writing, and:

TELECORP PCS, INC
$575,000,000
11 5/8 Senior Subordinated Discount Notes due 2009
EXCHANGE AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
April 23, 1999
CHASE SECURITIES INC.
BT ALEX. BROWN INCORPORATED
LEHMAN BROTHERS INC.
c/o Chase Securities Inc.
270 Park Avenue, 4th floor
New York, New York 10017
Ladies and Gentlemen:
TeleCorp PCS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), proposes
to issue and sell to Chase Securities Inc. ("CSI"), BT Alex. Brown Incorporated
and Lehman Brothers Inc. (together with CSI, the "Initial Purchasers"), upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a purchase agreement dated
April 20, 1999 (the "Purchase Agreement"), $575,000,000 aggregate principal
amount at maturity of its 11 5/8 Senior Subordinated Discount Notes due 2009
(the "Securities") to be guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by TeleCorp
Communications, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company (the "Subsidiary Guarantor").
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to
such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
As an inducement to the Initial Purchasers to enter into the Purchase
Agreement and in satisfaction of a condition to the obligations of the Initial
Purchasers thereunder, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor agree with the
Initial Purchasers, for the benefit of the holders (including and the Market
Maker (as defined below)) of the Securities, the Exchange Securities (as defined
herein) and the Private Exchange Securities (as defined herein) (collectively,
the "Holders"), as follows:
1. Registered Exchange Offer. The Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantor shall (i) prepare and, not later than 60 days following the date of
original issuance of the Securities (the "Issue Date"), file with the Commission
a registration statement (the "Exchange Offer Registration Statement") on an
appropriate form under the Securities Act with respect to a proposed offer to
the Holders of the Securities (the "Registered Exchange Offer") who are not
prohibited by applicable law or interpretations thereof by the Commission's
staff from
<PAGE>
2
participating in the Registered Exchange Offer to issue and deliver
to such Holders, in exchange for the Securities, a like aggregate principal
amount of debt securities of the Company (the "Exchange Securities") that are
identical in all material respects to the Securities, except for the transfer
restrictions and registration rights relating to the Securities, (ii) use their
reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to
become effective under the Securities Act no later than 180 days after the Issue
Date and the Registered Exchange Offer to be consummated no later than 210 days
after the Issue Date and (iii) keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
effective for not less than 30 days (or longer, if required by applicable law)
after the date on which notice of the Registered Exchange Offer is mailed to the
Holders (such period being called the "Exchange Offer Registration Period").
The Exchange Securities will be issued under the Indenture or an indenture (the
"Exchange Securities Indenture") among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor and
the Trustee or such other bank or trust company that is reasonably satisfactory
to the Initial Purchasers, as trustee (the "Exchange Securities Trustee"), such
indenture to be identical in all material respects to the Indenture, except for
the transfer restrictions and registration rights relating to the Securities (as
described above). All references in this Agreement to "Registration Statement"
and "prospectus" shall, except where the context otherwise requires, include any
Registration Statement (or amendment or supplement thereto) and prospectus (or
amendment thereto), respectively, filed with the Commission pursuant to Section
6 of this Agreement.
Upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
the Company shall promptly commence the Registered Exchange Offer, it being the
objective of such Registered Exchange Offer to enable each Holder electing to
exchange Securities for Exchange Securities (assuming that such Holder (a) is
not an affiliate of the Company or an Exchanging Dealer (as defined herein) not
complying with the requirements of the next sentence, (b) is not an Initial
Purchaser holding Securities that have, or that are reasonably likely to have,
the status of an unsold allotment in an initial distribution, (c) acquires the
Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder's business, (d) has no
arrangements or understandings with any person to participate in the
distribution of the Exchange Securities and (e) is not otherwise prohibited by
applicable law or interpretations thereof by the Commission's staff from
participating in the Registered Exchange Offer) and to trade such Exchange
Securities from and after their receipt without any limitations or restrictions
under the Securities Act and without material restrictions under the securities
laws of the several states of the United States. The Company, the Subsidiary
Guarantor, the Initial Purchasers and each Exchanging Dealer acknowledge that,
pursuant to current interpretations by the Commission's staff of Section 5 of
the Securities Act, (i) each Holder that is a broker-dealer electing to exchange
Securities, acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities
or other trading activities, for Exchange Securities (an "Exchanging Dealer"),
is required to deliver a prospectus containing substantially the information set
forth in Annex A hereto on the cover, in Annex B hereto in the "Exchange Offer
Procedures" section and the "Purpose of the Exchange Offer" section and in Annex
C hereto in the "Plan of Distribution" section of such prospectus in connection
with a sale of any such Exchange Securities received by such Exchanging Dealer
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and (ii) if an Initial Purchaser
elects to sell Exchange Securities acquired in exchange for Securities
constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, such Initial Purchaser is
required to deliver a prospectus containing the information required by Item 507
and 508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in connection
with such sale.
<PAGE>
3
If, prior to the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, any
Holder holds any Securities acquired by it that have, or that are reasonably
likely to be determined to have, the status of an unsold allotment in an initial
distribution, or any Holder is not entitled to participate in the Registered
Exchange Offer, the Company shall, upon the request of any such Holder,
simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Securities in the Registered
Exchange Offer, issue and deliver to any such Holder, in exchange for the
Securities held by such Holder (the "Private Exchange"), a like aggregate
principal amount of debt securities of the Company (the "Private Exchange
Securities") that are identical in all material respects to the Exchange
Securities, except for the transfer restrictions relating to such Private
Exchange Securities. The Private Exchange Securities will be issued under the
same indenture as the Exchange Securities, and the Company shall use
commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Private Exchange Securities to
bear the same CUSIP number as the Exchange Securities.
In connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall:
(a) mail to each Holder a copy of the prospectus forming part of the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter
of transmittal and related documents;
(b) keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 days
(or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date on which notice
of the Registered Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders;
(c) utilize the services of a depositary (which may be the Trustee or
an affiliate of the Trustee) for the Registered Exchange Offer with an
address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York;
(d) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time prior
to the close of business, New York City time, on the last business day on
which the Registered Exchange Offer shall remain open; and
(e) otherwise comply in all respects with all laws that are
applicable to the Registered Exchange Offer.
As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange
Offer and any Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Company shall:
(a) accept for exchange all Securities validly tendered and not
withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and the Private
Exchange;
(b) deliver to the Trustee for cancelation all Securities so accepted
for exchange; and
(c) cause the Trustee or the Exchange Securities Trustee, as the case
may be, promptly to authenticate and deliver to each Holder, Exchange
Securities or Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, equal in
principal amount to the Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange.
<PAGE>
4
The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the
prospectus contained therein in order to permit such prospectus to be used by
all persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act for such period of time as such persons must comply with such requirements
in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided that (i) in the case where
such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto must be delivered by an
Exchanging Dealer, such period shall be the lesser of 180 days and the date on
which all Exchanging Dealers have sold all Exchange Securities held by them and
(ii) the Company shall make such prospectus and any amendment or supplement
thereto available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of
any Exchange Securities for a period of not less than 90 days after the
consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer.
The Indenture or the Exchange Securities Indenture, as the case may
be, shall provide that the Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Private
Exchange Securities shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class
and that none of the Securities, the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange
Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any
matter.
Interest on each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security
issued pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and in the Private Exchange
will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on
the Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid
on the Securities, from the Issue Date.
Each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be
required to represent to the Company that at the time of the consummation of the
Registered Exchange Offer (i) any Exchange Securities received by such Holder
will be acquired in the ordinary course of business, (ii) such Holder will have
no arrangements or understanding with any person to participate in the
distribution of the Securities or the Exchange Securities within the meaning of
the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company or, if
it is such an affiliate, such Holder will comply with the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable,
(iv) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does
not intend to engage in, the distribution of the Exchange Securities and (v) if
such Holder is a broker-dealer, that it will receive Exchange Securities for its
own account in exchange for Securities that were acquired as a result of market-
making activities or other trading activities and that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantor will ensure that (i) any Exchange Offer Registration
Statement and any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof and
any supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the Securities Act
and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, (ii) any Exchange
Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes
effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements

<PAGE>
5
Exchange Offer, include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
2. Shelf Registration. If (i) because of any change in applicable
law or interpretations thereof by the Commission's staff the Company is not
permitted to effect the Registered Exchange Offer as contemplated by Section 1
hereof or (ii) any Securities validly tendered pursuant to the Registered
Exchange Offer are not exchanged for Exchange Securities within 210 days after
the Issue Date or (iii) any Initial Purchaser so requests with respect to
Securities or Private Exchange Securities not eligible to be exchanged for
Exchange Securities in the Registered Exchange Offer and held by it following
the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer or (iv) any applicable law or
interpretations thereof by the Commission's staff do not permit any Holder to
participate in the Registered Exchange Offer or (v) any Holder that participates
in the Registered Exchange Offer does not receive freely transferable Exchange
Securities in exchange for tendered Securities or (vi) the Company so elects,
then the following provisions shall apply:
(a) the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor shall use their
reasonable best efforts to file as promptly as practicable (but in no
event more than 45 days after so required or requested pursuant to
this Section 2) with the Commission, and thereafter shall use their
reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective, a shelf
registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act
relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities
(as defined below) by the Holders thereof from time to time in
accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in such
registration statement (hereafter, a "Shelf Registration Statement"
and, together with any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, a
"Registration Statement"); provided that no Holder (other than an
Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Securities held by it
covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees
in writing to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement
applicable to such Holder.
(b) The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor shall use their
reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
continuously effective in order to permit the prospectus forming part
thereof to be used by Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities for a
period ending on the earlier of (i) two years from the Issue Date or
such shorter period that will terminate when all the Transfer
Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have
been sold pursuant thereto and (ii) the date on which the Securities
become eligible for resale without volume restrictions pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act (in any such case, such period being
called the "Shelf Registration Period"). The Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed not to have used their reasonable
best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during
the requisite period if any of them voluntarily take any action that
would result in Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities covered
thereby not being able to offer and sell such Transfer Restricted
Securities during that period, unless (i) such action is required by
applicable law or (ii) such action is
<PAGE>
6
taken by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor in good faith and
for valid business reasons (not including avoidance of their
obligations hereunder), provided that the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantor within 90 days thereafter comply with the requirements of
Section 4(j) hereof. Any such period during which the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantor fail to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
effective and usable for offers and sales of Securities, Private
Exchange Securities and Exchange Securities is referred to as a
"Suspension Period". A Suspension Period shall commence on and include
the date the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor give notice that the
Shelf Registration Statement is no longer effective or the prospectus
included therein is no longer usable for offers and sales of
Securities, Private Exchange Securities and Exchange Securities and
shall end on the date when each Holder of Securities, Private Exchange
Securities and Exchange Securities covered by such Shelf Registration
Statement either receives the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by Section 4(j) hereof or is advised in
writing by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor that use of the
prospectus may be resumed. Not more than one Suspension Period shall
be permitted in any period of 360 consecutive days. If one or more
Suspension Periods occur, the two-year time period referenced above
shall be extended by the number of days included in each such
Suspension Period.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company and
the Subsidiary Guarantor will ensure that (i) any Shelf Registration
Statement and any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part
thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all material respects
with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder, (ii) any Shelf Registration Statement and any
amendment thereto (in either case, other than with respect to
information included therein in reliance upon or in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any
Holder specifically for use therein (the "Holders' Information")) does
not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading and (iii) any prospectus forming
part of any Shelf Registration Statement, and any supplement to such
prospectus (in either case, other than with respect to Holders'
Information), does not include an untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.
3. Liquidated Damages. (a) The parties hereto agree that the
Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities will suffer damages if the Company and
the Subsidiary Guarantor fails to fulfill their obligations under Section 1 or
Section 2, as applicable, and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the
extent of such damages. Accordingly, if (i) the applicable Registration
Statement is not filed with the Commission on or prior to 60 days after the
Issue Date, (ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf
Registration Statement, as the case may be, is not declared effective within 180
days after the Issue Date (or in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement
required to be filed in response to a change in applicable law or
<PAGE>
7
interpretations thereof by the Commission's staff, if later, within 45 days
after publication of the change in law or interpretation), (iii) the Registered
Exchange Offer is not consummated on or prior to 210 days after the Issue Date,
or (iv) the Shelf Registration Statement is filed and declared effective within
180 days after the Issue Date (or in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement
required to be filed in response to a change in applicable law or
interpretations thereof by the Commission's staff, if later, within 45 days
after publication of the change in law or interpretation) but shall thereafter
cease to be effective (at any time that the Company is obligated to maintain the
effectiveness thereof) without being succeeded within 30 days by an additional
Registration Statement filed and declared effective (each such event referred to
in clauses (i) through (iv), a "Registration Default"), the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantor will be jointly and severally obligated to pay liquidated
damages to each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, during the period of
one or more such Registration Defaults, in an amount equal to $ 0.192 per week
per $1,000 of Accreted Value (as defined in the Indenture) of Transfer
Restricted Securities held by such Holder until (i) the applicable Registration
Statement is filed, (ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared
effective and the Registered Exchange Offer is consummated, (iii) the Shelf
Registration Statement is declared effective or (iv) the Shelf Registration
Statement again becomes effective, as the case may be. Following the cure of
all Registration Defaults, the accrual of liquidated damages will cease. As
used herein, the term "Transfer Restricted Securities" means (i) each Security
until the date on which such Security has been exchanged for a freely
transferable Exchange Security in the Registered Exchange Offer, (ii) each
Security or Private Exchange Security until the date on which it has been
effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance
with the Shelf Registration Statement or (iii) each Security or Private Exchange
Security until the date on which it is distributed to the public pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act or is saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under
the Securities Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
3(a), the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be required to pay
liquidated damages to a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities if such Holder
failed to comply with its obligations to make the representations set forth in
the second to last paragraph of Section 1 or failed to provide the information
required to be provided by it, if any, pursuant to Section 4(n).
(b) The Company shall notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent under
the Indenture with three business day of the happening of each and every
Registration Default. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay
the liquidated damages due on the Transfer Restricted Securities by
depositing with the Paying Agent (which may not be the Company for these
purposes), in trust, for the benefit of the Holders thereof, prior to 10:00
a.m., New York City time, on the next interest payment date specified by
the Indenture and the Securities, sums sufficient to pay the liquidated
damages then due. The liquidated damages due shall be payable on each
interest payment date specified by the Indenture and the Securities to the
record holder entitled to receive the interest payment to be made on such
date. Each obligation to pay liquidated damages shall be deemed to accrue
from and including the date of the applicable Registration Default.
(c) The parties hereto agree that the liquidated damages provided for
in this Section 3 constitute a reasonable estimate of and are intended to
constitute the sole damages that will be suffered by Holders of Transfer
Restricted Securities by reason of
<PAGE>
8
the failure of (i) the Shelf Registration Statement or the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement to be filed, (ii) the Shelf Registration Statement
to remain effective or (iii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to
be declared effective and the Registered Exchange Offer to be consummated,
in each case to the extent required by this Agreement.
4. Registration Procedures. In connection with any Registration
Statement, the following provisions shall apply:

Dealer and the Holders (if applicable) and, if requested by any such
person, confirm such advice in writing (which advice pursuant to clause
(ii) through (v) hereof shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend
the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made):
(i) when any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto
has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become
effective;
(ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or
supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included
therein or for additional information;
(iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the
initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;

any changes so that the Registration Statement and any amendment
thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading or any prospectus forming part of any Registration
Statement, and any supplement to such prospectus, does not include an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(c) If any event contemplated by clauses (ii) through (v) of Section
4 occurs during the period for which the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantor are required to maintain an effective Registration Statement, the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor will as promptly as is practicable
prepare and file with the Commission a post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or file
any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers
of the Securities, Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities from
a Holder, the prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

reasonably requests.
(f) The Company will, during the Shelf Registration Period, promptly
deliver to each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities included within
the coverage of any Shelf Registration Statement, without charge, as many
copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) included
in such Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement
thereto as such Holder may reasonably request; and the Company and the

Exchanging Dealer or other persons may reasonably request; and the Company
and the Subsidiary Guarantor consent to the use of such prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto by any such Initial Purchaser, Exchanging
Dealer or other persons, as applicable, as aforesaid.

jurisdictions as any such Holder reasonably requests in writing and do any
and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the offer and
sale in such jurisdictions of the Securities, Exchange Securities or
Private Exchange Securities covered by such Registration Statement;
provided that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor will not be required

Securities, Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities pursuant to
such Registration Statement.
(k) If any event contemplated by Section 4(b)(ii) through (v) occurs
during the period for which the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor are
required to maintain an effective Registration Statement, the Company and
the Subsidiary Guarantor will as promptly as is practicable prepare and

Securities to be registered pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement to
furnish to the Company such information concerning the Holder and the
distribution of such Transfer Restricted Securities as the Company may from
time to time reasonably require for inclusion in such Shelf Registration

and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the offer and
sale in such jurisdictions of the Securities, Exchange Securities or
Private Exchange Securities covered by the Market-Making Registration
Statement; provided that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor will not
be required to qualify generally to do business in any
<PAGE>
16
jurisdiction where they are not then so qualified or to take any action
which would subject them to general service of process or to taxation in
any such jurisdiction where they are not then so subject.
(d) The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor represent that the
Market-Making Registration Statement, any post-effective amendments
thereto, any amendments or supplements to the related prospectus and any
documents filed by them under the Exchange Act will, when they become
effective or are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, conform in
all respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and will not, as
of the effective date of such Market-Making Registration Statement or post-
effective amendments and as of the filing date of amendments or supplements
to such prospectus or filings under the Exchange Act, contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading; provided that no representation or warranty is made as to
information contained in or omitted from the Market-Making Registration
Statement or the related prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by the Market Maker
specifically for inclusion therein, which information the parties hereto
agree will be limited to the statements concerning the market-making
activities of the Market Maker to be set forth on the cover page and in the
"Plan of Distribution" section of the prospectus (the "Market Maker's
Information").
(e) At the time of effectiveness of the Market-Making Registration
Statement and concurrently with each time the Market-Making Registration
Statement or the related prospectus shall be amended or such prospectus
shall be supplemented, the Company shall (if reasonably requested by the
Market Maker) furnish the Market Maker and its counsel with a certificate
of its Chief Executive Officer and its Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer to the effect that:
(i) the Market-Making Registration Statement has been declared
effective;
(ii) in the case of an amendment or supplement, such amendment
has become effective under the Securities Act as of the date and time
specified in such certificate, if applicable, such amendment or
supplement to the prospectus was filed with the Commission pursuant to
the subparagraph of Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act specified in
such certificate on the date specified therein;
(iii) to the knowledge of such officers, no stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Market-Making Registration
Statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose is
pending or threatened by the Commission; and
(iv) such officers have carefully examined (A) the Market-Making
Registration Statement and, in the case of an amendment, such
amendment, and as of the date of such Market-Making Registration
Statement or amendment, as
<PAGE>
17
applicable, the Market-Making Registration Statement, as amended, if
applicable, did not include any untrue statement of a material fact
and did not omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and
(B) the related prospectus, and, in the case of a supplement, such
supplement, and as of the date of such prospectus or supplement, as
applicable, such prospectus, as supplemented, if applicable, did not
include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.
(f) At the time of effectiveness of the Market-Making Registration
Statement and concurrently with each time the Market-Making Registration
Statement or the related prospectus shall be amended or such prospectus
shall be supplemented, the Company shall (if requested by the Market Maker)
furnish the Market Maker and its counsel with the written opinion of
counsel for the Company satisfactory to the Market Maker to the effect
that:
(i) the Market-Making Registration Statement has been declared
effective;
(ii) in the case of an amendment or supplement, such amendment
has become effective under the Securities Act as of the date and time
specified in such opinion and such amendment or supplement to the
prospectus was filed with the Commission pursuant to the subparagraph
of Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act specified in such opinion on
the date specified therein;
(iii) to the knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Market-Making Registration Statement has been
issued and no proceeding for that purpose is pending or threatened by
the Commission; and
(iv) such counsel has participated in conferences with officers
of the Company and independent public accountants for the Company at
which the contents of such Market-Making Registration Statement and
prospectus (and, in the case of an amendment or supplement, such
amendment or supplement) and related matters were discussed and has no
reason to believe that as of the date of such Market-Making
Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, as applicable, the
Market-Making Registration Statement and the prospectus, as amended or
supplemented, if applicable, contained any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading.
(g) At the time of effectiveness of the Market-Making Registration
Statement and concurrently with each time the Market-Making Registration
Statement or the related prospectus shall be amended or such prospectus
shall be supplemented to include audited annual financial information, the
Company shall (if requested by the Market Maker) furnish the Market-Maker
and its counsel with a letter of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (or other
independent public accountants for the Company of nationally recognized
standing), in form satisfactory to the Market-Maker, addressed
<PAGE>
18
to the Market-Maker and dated the date of delivery of such letter, (i)
confirming that they are independent public accountants within the meaning
of the Securities Act and are in compliance with the applicable
requirements relating to the qualification of accountants under Rule 2-01
of Regulation S-X of the Commission and, (ii) in all other respects,
substantially in the form of the letter delivered to the Initial Purchasers
pursuant to Section 5(f) of the Purchase Agreement, with, in the case of an
amendment or supplement to include audited financial information, such
changes as may be necessary to reflect the amended or supplemented
financial information.
(h) The Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Market Maker, and, if
applicable, contribute to the Market Maker, in accordance with Sections 7
and 8 of this Agreement.
(i) The Company will comply with the provisions of this Section 6 at
its own expense and will reimburse the Market Maker for its expenses
associated with this Section 6 (including reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel).
(j) The agreements contained in this Section 6 and the
representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement
shall survive all offers and sales of the Securities and shall remain in
full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancelation of this
Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified
party.
(k) For purposes of this Section 6, any reference to the terms
"amend", "amendment" or "supplement" with respect to the Market-Making
Registration Statement or the prospectus contained therein shall be deemed
to refer to and include the filing under the Exchange Act of any document
deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.
7. Indemnification. (a) In the event of a Shelf Registration
Statement or in connection with any prospectus delivery pursuant to an Exchange
Offer Registration Statement by an Initial Purchaser or Exchanging Dealer, as
applicable, or in connection with any prospectus delivery by the Market Maker,
the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor shall jointly and severally indemnify
and hold harmless each Holder (including, without limitation, any such Initial
Purchaser or Exchanging Dealer or the Market Maker), its affiliates, their
respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, and each
person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act (collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 7
and Section 8 as a Holder) from and against any loss, claim, damage or
liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including,
without limitation, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to
purchases and sales of Securities, Exchange Securities or Private Exchange
Securities), to which that Holder may become subject, whether commenced or
threatened, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other federal or
state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any such Registration Statement or Market-Making Registration Statement or any
prospectus forming part thereof or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (ii)
the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
<PAGE>
19
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading or (iii) in the case of the Market Maker, any breach by the
Company of its representations, warranties and agreements set forth in Section
6, and shall reimburse each Holder promptly upon demand for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by that Holder in connection with investigating or
defending or preparing to defend against or appearing as a third party witness
in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such
expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantor shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement in, or omission or alleged omission from,
any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with any Holders'
Information or Market Maker's Information; and provided, further that with
respect to any such untrue statement in or omission from any related preliminary
prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(a) shall not
inure to the benefit of any Holder from whom the person asserting any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action received Securities, Exchange Securities or
Private Exchange Securities to the extent that such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action of or with respect to such Holder results from the fact that
both (i) a copy of the final prospectus was not sent or given to such person at
or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Securities, Exchange
Securities or Private Exchange Securities to such person and (ii) the untrue
statement in or omission from the related preliminary prospectus was corrected
in the final prospectus unless, in either case, such failure to deliver the
final prospectus was a result of non-compliance by the Company with Section
4(e), 4(f), 4(g) or 4(h) or Section 6, as applicable.
(b) In the event of a Shelf Registration Statement or in connection
with any prospectus delivery by the Market Maker, each Holder (including, if
applicable, the Market Maker) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its
affiliates, their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and
agents, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively referred to for purposes of
this Section 7(b) and Section 8 as the Company), from and against any loss,
claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof,
to which the Company may become subject, whether commenced or threatened, under
the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other federal or state statutory law
or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such Registration
Statement or Market-Making Registration Statement or any prospectus forming part
thereof or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but in each case only
to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with any
Holders' Information or Market Maker's Information furnished to the Company by
such Holder, and shall reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending
or preparing to defend against or appearing as a third party witness in
connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such
expenses are incurred; provided, however, that no such Holder shall be liable
for any indemnity claims hereunder in excess of the amount of net proceeds
received by such Holder
<PAGE>
20
from the sale of Securities, Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities
pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
7 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified
party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party pursuant to Section 7(a) or 7(b), notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided,
however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it
from any liability which it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent
that it has been prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or
defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7. If any such claim or
action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the
indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other
similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the
indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to
the indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than the reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however,
that an indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any
such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel for the
indemnified party will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i)
the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in
writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnified party has reasonably
concluded (based upon advice of counsel to the indemnified party) that there may
be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are
different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party,
(iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based upon advice of counsel to
the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party
(in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the
defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (iv) the
indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable
time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which
cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at
the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the
indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or
related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees,
disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in
addition to any local counsel) at any one time for all such indemnified party or
parties. Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements
contained in Sections 7(a) and 7(b), shall use all reasonable efforts to
cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or
claim. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such
action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a
final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any
loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying
party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any
pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or
could have
<PAGE>
21
been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified
party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such
indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such proceeding.
8. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 7 is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section
7(a) or 7(b), then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect
thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor from the initial
offering and sale of the Securities, on the one hand, and by a Holder from
receiving Securities, Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities, as
applicable, registered under the Securities Act, on the other, or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and
the Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and such Holder, on the other, with
respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage
or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor or information supplied by
the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, or to any Holders,
Information or Market Maker's Information supplied by such Holder, on the other,
the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions
pursuant to this Section 8 were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by
any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable
considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified
party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect
thereof, referred to above in this Section 8 shall be deemed to include, for
purposes of this Section 8, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending or
preparing to defend any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Section 8, an indemnifying party that is a Holder of Securities, Exchange
Securities or Private Exchange Securities shall not be required to contribute
any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the
Securities, Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities sold by such
indemnifying party to any purchaser exceeds the amount of any damages which such
indemnifying party has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any
untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
9. Rules 144 and 144A. The Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not
required to file such reports, it will, upon the written request of any Holder
of Transfer Restricted Securities or the Market Maker, make publicly available
other information so long as necessary to permit sales of such Holder's or the
Market Maker's securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A. The Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantor covenant that they will take such further action as any
Holder of Transfer Restricted
<PAGE>
22
Securities or the Market Maker may reasonably request, all to the extent
required from time to time to enable such Holder or the Market Maker to sell
Transfer Restricted Securities without registration under the Securities Act
within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A
(including, without limitation, the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). Upon the
written request of any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities or the Market
Maker, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor shall deliver to such Holder or
the Market Maker, as applicable, a written statement as to whether they have
complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Section 8 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its
securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.
10. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Transfer Restricted
Securities covered by any Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an
underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager
or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by the Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Transfer Restricted Securities
included in such offering, subject to the consent of the Company (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and such Holders shall be responsible
for all underwriting commissions and discounts in connection therewith.
No person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder
unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person's Transfer Restricted
Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements
approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii)
completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms
of such underwriting arrangements.
11. Miscellaneous. (a) Amendments and Waivers. No failure or delay
by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor, any Holder or the Market Maker in
exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or amendment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right preclude any other of further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The provisions of this
Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents
to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company
has obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange
Securities, taken as a single class (and, with respect to the provisions of
Section 6, the written consent of the Market Maker). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect
to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose Securities,
Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities are being sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the
rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Private
Exchange Securities being sold by such Holders pursuant to such Registration
Statement.
(b) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail,
telecopier or air courier guaranteeing next-day delivery:
<PAGE>
23
(1) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder
to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11(b),
which address initially is, with respect to each Holder, the address of
such Holder maintained by the Registrar under the Indenture, with a copy in
like manner to Chase Securities Inc., BT Alex. Brown Incorporated and
Lehman Brothers Inc.;
(2) if to an Initial Purchaser, initially at its address set forth in
the Purchase Agreement; and
(3) if to the Company, initially at the address of the Company set
forth in the Purchase Agreement.
All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly
given: when delivered by hand, if personally delivered; one business day after
being delivered to a next-day air courier; five business days after being
deposited in the mail; and when receipt is acknowledged by the recipient's
telecopier machine, if sent by telecopier.
(c) Successors And Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Company and its successors and assigns.
(d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts (which may be delivered in original form or by telecopier) and by
the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed
shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement.
(e) Definition of Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the
term "business day" means any day on which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is
open for trading, (b) the term "subsidiary" has the meaning set forth in Rule
405 under the Securities Act and (c) except where otherwise expressly provided,
the term "affiliate" has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act.
(f) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
(g) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(h) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company, any
Subsidiary Guarantor or by any Holder of any of their obligations under this
Agreement, each Holder, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may
be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law,
including recovery of damages (other than the recovery of damages for a breach
by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of its obligations under Sections 1
or 2 hereof for which liquidated damages have been paid pursuant to Section 3
hereof), will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this
Agreement. The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor and each Holder agree that
monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by
reason of a breach by each such person of any of
<PAGE>
24
the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agree that, in the event of
any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, each such person
shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(i) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company and each Subsidiary
Guarantor represents, warrants and agrees that (i) it has not entered into,
shall not, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement that
is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof, (ii) it has not previously
entered into any agreement which remains in effect granting any registration
rights with respect to any of its debt securities to any person and (iii) (with
respect to the Company) without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
without the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and the Market
Maker, it shall not grant to any person the right to request the Company to
register any debt securities of the Company under the Securities Act unless the
rights so granted are not in conflict or inconsistent with the provisions of
this Agreement.
(j) No Piggyback on Registrations. Neither the Company nor any of
its security holders (other than the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities
in such capacity) shall have the right to include any securities of the Company
in any Shelf Registration or Registered Exchange Offer other than Transfer
Restricted Securities.
(k) Severability. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law. If any term, provision, covenant or
restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions,
covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and
effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties
hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to find and employ an alternative
means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated
by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and
declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the
remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of
such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

ANNEX A
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver
a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. The
Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a
prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an
"underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it
may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer
in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for
Securities where such Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result
of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed
that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date (as defined herein), it
will make this Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection
with any such resale. See "Plan of Distribution".
<PAGE>
ANNEX B
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in
exchange for Securities, where such Securities were acquired by such broker-
dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must
acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of
such Exchange Securities. See "Plan of Distribution".
<PAGE>
ANNEX C
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own
account pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will
deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.
This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be
used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities
received in exchange for Securities where such Securities were acquired as a
result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has
agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date, it will make
this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for
use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until July 22, 1999, all
dealers effecting transactions in the Exchange Securities may be required to
deliver a prospectus.
The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange
Securities by broker-dealers. Exchange Securities received by broker-dealers
for their own account pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer may be sold from
time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in
negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange
Securities or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices
prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market
prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to
purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in
the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the
purchasers of any such Exchange Securities. Any broker-dealer that resells
Exchange Securities that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the
Registered Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a
distribution of such Exchange Securities may be deemed to be an "underwriter"
within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of
Exchange Securities and any commission or concessions received by any such
persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act.
The Letter of Transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and
by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it
is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.
For a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date the Company will
promptly send additional copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or
supplement to this Prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents
in the Letter of Transmittal. The Company has agreed to pay all expenses
incident to the Registered Exchange Offer (including the expenses of one counsel

WHEREAS, the Parties have entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement,
dated as of January 23, 1998 (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to
-----------------------------
which the Purchasers acquired certain securities of the Company in consideration
of contributions of cash and/or other property to the capital of the Company;
WHEREAS, the Company is proposing to enter into agreements contemplating
the acquisition by a subsidiary of the Company of the San Diego F-Block PCS

December 31, 1996, the year ended December 31, 1997, and the period July 29,
1996 (inception) to December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted

1. Organization
TeleCorp Holding Corp,. Inc., (the Company) was incorporated
in the State of Delaware on July 29, 1996 (date of inception). The
Company intends to design, build, own and operate broadband Personal
Communications Services (PCS) in its licensed regions. The Company
participated in the Federal Communications Commissions' (FCC) Auction
of F Block PCS licenses (the Auction) in April 1997 and successfully
obtained licenses in the New Orleans, Memphis, Beaumont, Little Rock,
Houston, Tampa, Melbourne and Orlando Basic Trading Areas (BTAs). The
Company qualifies as a Designated Entity and Very Small Business under
Part 24 of the rules of the FCC applicable to broadband PCS.
In April 1997, the Company and its shareholders agreed to
the transfer of PCS licenses for the Houston, Tampa, Melbourne and
Orlando BTAs to form newly-formed entities created by the Company's
existing shareholder group: THC of Houston, Inc.; THC of Tampa, Inc.;
THC of Melbourne, Inc.; and THC of Orlando, Inc. pending final FCC
approval which occurred in August of 1997. These licenses were
transferred along with the related operating assets and liabilities of
these entities in exchange for investment units consisting of Class A,
B and C common stock and Series A preferred stock. Concurrently, the
Company distributed the investment units, on a pro rata basis, in a
partial stock redemption to the Company's existing shareholder group.
As a result of this distribution, the Company no longer retains any
ownership equity interest in the newly formed entities. Because the
above transaction was non-monetary in nature and occurred between
entities with the same shareholder group, the transaction was
accounted for at historical cost.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Development Stage Company
-------------------------
The Company's activities to date principally have been
planning and participation in the Auction, initiating research and
development, conducting market research, securing capital and
developing its proposed service and network. Accordingly, the
Company's financial statements are presented as a development stage
enterprise, as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage
Enterprises." Since the Auction, the Company has been relying on the
borrowing of funds and
25
<PAGE>
the issuance of common and preferred stock rather than recurring
revenues, for its primary sources of cash flow.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
----------------------------
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company
to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash
equivalents. The Company has invested its excess cash in a money
market account with a commercial bank. The underlying assets of the
fund collateralize these investments. The money market account
invests in U.S. Government securities. The Company has not
experienced any losses on its cash and cash equivalents.
Cash Equivalents
----------------
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Licenses and Microwave Relocation
---------------------------------
As a condition of each PCS license, the FCC requires each
license-holder to relocate existing microwave users (Incumbents)
within the awarded spectrum to microwave frequencies of equal
strength. Microwave relocation costs will include the actual and
estimated costs incurred to relocate the Incumbents microwave links
affecting the Company's licensed frequencies an dare presented in the
financial statements at the estimated value of the project cost.
PCS licenses also include costs incurred, including
capitalized interest related to the U.S. Government financing, to
acquire FCC licenses on frequency block F in the 1850-1990 MHz radio
frequency band. Interest
26
<PAGE>
capitalization begins when the activities necessary to get the PCS
network ready for its intended use are in progress. For the year ended
December 31, 1997, the Company capitalized $131,397 of interest cost.
The PCS licenses are issued conditionally for ten years.
Historically, the FCC has granted license renewals providing the
licensees have complied with applicable rules, policies and the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended. The Company believes it had
complied with and intends to continue to comply with these rules and
policies.
The Company will amortize the cost of the PCS licenses and
microwave relocation costs on a straight-line basis over 40 years at
the time PCS services commence, which is expected to be in early 1999
for certain BTAs.
Property and Equipment and Network Under Development
----------------------------------------------------
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated
on the straight-line method over three to ten years based upon
estimated useful lives.
Network under development, includes all costs of
engineering, cell site acquisition, site development, capitalized
interest and other development costs being incurred, to ready the PCS
network for use. Network under development will be depreciated over
its estimated useful life.
Long-Lived Assets
-----------------
The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the
carrying value of the property and equipment, network under
development, intangible assets and PCS licenses. The Company considers
historical performance and anticipated future results in its
evaluation of potential impairment. Accordingly, when indicators of
impairment are present, the Company evaluates the carrying value of
these assets in relation to the operating performance of the business
and future and undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use
of these assets. Impairment losses are recognized when the sum of
expected future cash flows are less than the assets' carrying value.
No such impairment losses have been recognized to date.
Income Taxes
------------
27
<PAGE>
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the
liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for tax
consequences in future years for differences between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each
year-end, based on enacted laws and statutory tax rates applicable to
the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable
income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary, to
reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The provision for income taxes consists of the current tax provision
and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and
liabilities.

U.S. Government Financing
-------------------------
In 1996, the Company placed $7,500,000 on deposit with the
FCC in order to bid on F Block broadband PCS licenses. The funding for
the deposit was obtained from the issuance of common and preferred
stock in August 1996 (see Note 5). In April 1997, the Company's
application for the PCS licenses was approved. The Company made a down
payment of $5,942,835 using the funds from the FCC deposit and issued
promissory notes to the FCC for $23,771,342. The balance of the
Company's deposit of $1,557,165 was refunded in April 1997. The terms
of the notes include: interest rate of 6.25% quarterly interest
payments which commence in July 1998 for the two years thereafter,
then quarterly principal and interest payments for the remaining 8
years. The notes were discounted using managements best estimate of
the prevailing market interest: rate of 10.25%. The promissory notes
are collateralized by the underlying PCS licenses.
---------------
In August 1997 upon final approval by the FCC, certain of
the PCS licenses with a cost of $15,678,814 and related US Government
financing in the amount of $12,034,212 were transferred to four newly-
formed entities created by the Company's existing shareholder group
(See Notes 1 and 8).
Notes Payable to Shareholders
-----------------------------
In July 1996, the Company issued $498,750 of subordinated
promissory notes to two shareholders. The notes bear interest at a
rate of 10%, compounded semi-annually; and are dull in full in, July
2OO2. In April 1997, these notes were converted into 50 shares of
Series A preferred stock (See Note 5).
In December 1997, the Company issued various promissory
notes to shareholders. The notes bear interest at a rate of 6.00% and
are due in full in July 1998. The notes were discounted using
management's best estimate of the prevailing market interest rate of
10.25%. The effect on the 1997 financial statement of discounting
these notes was not material. The notes payable are collateralized by
all of the Company's assets.
Maturities of all notes payable (undiscounted) as of December 31,
1997 are as follows:

5. Shareholders' Equity
Preferred Stock
---------------
The Series A preferred stock has a cumulative annual
dividend right equal to 10% of the sum of the Series A preferred stock
plus all accrued and unpaid dividends compounded annually. In the
event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series A preferred stock
shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any
distribution of any assets of the Company to the holders of Class A, B
and C common stock, an amount of $10,000 per share plus all accrued
and unpaid dividends. The Company shall have the right to call all or
any shares of the Series A preferred stock at anytime for $10,000 per
share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. At any time after August
31, 2002 each holder of Series A preferred stock may elect, by written
notice to the Company, to redeem a specified number of shares at a
price equal to $10,000 per share plus all accrued and unpaid
dividends. Since the Series A preferred stock is mandatorily
redeemable at the option of the holder, the Company accretes the 10%
dividend right. For the period ended December 31, 1996 and for the
year ended December 31, 1997 the cumulative accretion of preferred
stock dividends was $288,959 and $1,014,516, respectively. Activity
related to the preferred stock for the period July 29, 1996
(inception) to December 31, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1997
is as follows:

Common Stock
- ------------
Each class of common stock shall have equal dividend and liquidation rights
subject to the rights and preferences of the holders of the preferred stock.
Dividends may be declared and paid on the common stock from funds legally
available as and when determined by the Board of Directors. The Class A common
stock shall have 5,010,000 voting rights, the Class B common stock shall have no
voting rights and the Class C common stock shall have 4,990,000 voting rights.
Each holder of Class C common stock shall be entitled at any time to convert any
and all of the shares into the same number of shares of Class B common stock
upon the occurrence of certain defined regulatory events. Each holder of Class
B common stock shall be entitled at any time to convert any or all of the shares
into the same number of shares of Class C common stock upon a conversion event,
as defined. Because the Series A preferred stock contains preferences that are
significantly more than the Company's net worth, only nominal or no value has
been ascribed to the common stock.
Control Group Options
- ---------------------
In order to maintain its Designated Entity status, the Company has reserved for
issuance options to purchase shares of Class A common stock for each holder of
Class A common stock pro rata to their respective holdings, in connection with
future sales of the Company's common stock, in such amount as necessary for
management to hold not less than 60% of such Class A common stock (except that
after the third anniversary of the grant of the PCS licenses management's
ownership may be reduced to 40%). The options will be exercisable at any time
within 10 years from the date of grant at an exercise price equal to the price
per share of the common stock the issuance of which triggers such options. As
of December 31, 1997, no options have been granted.
6. Income Taxes
The tax effect of the temporary difference that gives rise to significant
portions of the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 1996 and 1997,
respectively, are as follows:

In connection with the transfer of the PCS licenses, US Government
financing and equity interests, the Company reduced the notes payable to
affiliates by $652,895, which represents certain costs incurred by the Company
on behalf of the affiliates for the year ended December 31, 1997 pursuant to

payments owed by WCS to the Company.
9. Subsequent events
Commitments
-----------
In March 1998, the Company entered into it short term sublease
agreement for office space through December 31, 1998. The terms of the agreement
include a security deposit of $33,500 and monthly rent, payable in advance, of
$33,500 per month. The security deposit is to be held in a non-interest bearing
account, and returned 30 days after sublease termination.
In June 1998 the Company entered into a 10 year operating lease for
office space. The terms of the agreement require the Company to obtain a letter
of credit for $1,200,000, which may be reduced by 20% at the end of each year.
The Company is responsible for its proportionate share of property taxes and
operating expenses. Base rent increases on from 2% to 6% annually, as defined
by the lease agreement.
In 1998, the Company entered into several 10 year operating lease
agreements for Multiple Switching Centers (MSC). The terms of the leases
require the Company to obtain letters of credit ranging from S100,000 to
$300,000 and base rent increases in year 6 from 10% to 15%. The combined
monthly payments for these leases is approximately $26,500.
The Company entered into numerous operating leases for cell sites
subsequent to year end. Lease terms range from 3 to 10 years. Most of the
leases provide the Company with renewal options and generally require the
Company to pay for utilities, taxes, insurance and maintenance costs, in
addition to base rent which generally increase 3% to 5% per annum after the
first year. Generally, these leases commence upon installation of
36
<PAGE>
equipment, accordingly, most leases have not commenced. As of July 15, 1998
future minimum lease commitments of commenced leases total $6,042,000.
Financing
- ---------
During the six month period ended June 30, 1998, the Company borrowed
approximately $22,500,000 in the form of promissory notes from existing and
prospective shareholders to satisfy the working capital needs of the Company.
The promissory notes bear interest at the rate of 6.25% per annum compounded
quarterly and are payable in one lump sum on August 31, 1998. These funds are
creditable against the $128,000,000 cash commitment in connection with the
proposed AT&T Transaction described below.
AT&T Transaction
- ----------------
In January 1998, the Company shareholders entered into a strategic
venture with TeleCorp PCS, Inc. (the Venture), AT&T Corporation and its
affiliates (AT&T), and various other venture capital investors (VC Investors)
for the purpose of providing broadband PCS services in the New Orleans, Houston,
Louisville, St. Louis, Little Rock, Memphis and Boston PCS major trading areas
(MTA). In exchange for an ownership interest in the Venture: (1) the Company's
shareholders will contribute 100% of their ownership interests in the Company,
(ii) AT&T will contribute PCS licenses in the aforementioned MTAs, the use of
the AT&T service marks and a roaming agreement, and (iii) the VC Investors will
commit to contribute $128,000,000 in cash. The ownership interests will be
comprised of various classes of voting and non-voting common stock various
series of preferred stock and common tracking stock. As a result of the above
transaction, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Venture.
The effective date of the Venture is anticipated to be July 15, 1998.
The Company is finalizing an independent appraisal of the value of the
AT&T PCS contributed licenses which will be amortized over 40 years once
wireless service is ready to commence along with an appraisal for the use of the
AT&T service marks, an intercarrier roaming agreement and a exclusivity
arrangement.
Lucent Agreements
- -----------------
In May 1998, the Venture entered into a supply agreement with Lucent
Technologies, Inc. (Lucent) whereby the Venture has agreed to purchase from
Lucent radio, switching and network equipment and services up to $285,000,000
for the construction of its PCS networks over a five year period commencing in
1998. The Venture may defer payment on all Lucent equipment and services
purchased by the Venture until the earlier of September
37
<PAGE>
30,1998 or the initial closing of a senior credit facility. In addition, Lucent
has agreed to provide $40,000,000 of extended payment terms in the form of a
line-of-credit for purchase of Lucent equipment and services. Interest and
principal will be due at maturity with mandatory redemption of all balances upon
the earlier of a senior debt closing or September 30,1998.
The Venture will have the ability to issue to Lucent increasing rate
8.5% Series A and 10.0% Series B Junior. Subordinated Bonds (the Bonds), with an
aggregate face value of $95,000,000, subject to adjustment up to $160,000,000
based upon the occurrence of certain defined events, pursuant to a May 1998 note
purchase agreement. The Bonds will be subject to a final maturity no later than
January 2012, subject to an earlier maturity date upon the occurrence of certain
defined events.
Lucent's commitment to provide financing is conditioned upon the
occurrence of certain events, including but not limited to the Venture's ability
to obtain a commitment for a senior credit facility of at least $525,000,000,
the closing of the supply agreement, the transfer of certain PCS licenses by
AT&T Wireless PCS, Inc. to the Venture and the receipt of at least $128,000,000
of equity commitments from investors. In June 1998, the Venture borrowed
$10,000,00 of the 8.5% Series A Junior Subordinated Bonds.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
- --------------------------------
The Venture is currently negotiating with Chase Securities, Inc., TD Securities
USA, and Bankers Trust Company to provide up to S525,000,000 of senior secured
credit facilities (the Facilities) to the Venture. Proceeds of the Facilities
will be used to fund capital expenditures related to the construction of the
Venture's PCS System; acquisitions of PCS sites, certain AT&T PCS licenses and
working capital. The Facilities will consist of three tranches in the form of a
$150,000,000 Revolving Credit Note, a $150,000,000 Term Loan A, and a
$225,000,000 Term Loan B.
The initial interest rate on the Revolving Credit Note and Term Loan A
will be LIBOR plus 275 basis points. The interest rate on the Term Loan B will
be fixed at LIBOR plus 325 basis points. The initial commitment fee on the
available, but unused, portion of the Facilities will be 125 basis points. The
commitment fee will decrease based on usage under the Revolving Credit and Term
Loan A. If the Venture issues high-yield subordinated debentures of at least
$220,000,000 within 12 months of closing the Facilities, the spreads applicable
to the Facilities will be reduced 25 basis points.
38
<PAGE>
In addition, borrowing under the Facilities will be subject to a
maximum Senior Debt to Total Capital, as defined, ratio of 50%, provided that if
(i) all unfunded commitments have been contributed in full in cash and (ii)
minimum covered POPs meet or exceed 60% of the aggregate number of POPs within
the Licensed Area, then the ratio increases to 55%. Upon completion of a high
yield issuance of at least $220 million, the Facilities will be subject to a
maximum Total Debt to Total Capital ratio of 70%. Once certain specified
operating benchmarks are achieved, the Facilities will be fully available
without regard to the Total Debt to Total Capital Ratio.
The Term Loan A and B will be amortized in quarterly installments of
principal commencing approximately four years after the closing date;
commitments under the Revolving Credit will automatically reduce in quarterly
installments of principal commencing approximately six and one half years after
the closing date. Commencing with the year ended December 31,2001, 50% of the
Venture's excess cash flow will be applied ratably to reduce commitments under
the Revolving Credit and to prepay portions of Term Loan A and Term Loan B.
All obligations of the Venture under the Facilities will be unconditionally
and irrevocably guaranteed by each of its existing and subsequently acquired
domestic subsidiaries. The Facilities will be secured by substantially all the
assets of the Venture, including (i) a first priority pledge of all the capital
stock held by the Venture or any subsidiary of the Venture and (ii) perfected
first priority security interest in, and mortgages on, all tangible and
intangible assets of the Venture and its subsidiaries. Venture's equity
subscription agreements and the contracts associated therewith will also be
assigned as security to the Lenders. The closing of the Facilities is pending
the closing of the AT&T Transaction.
Acquisitions
- ------------
On May 15, 1999, the Venture signed an agreement to acquire four additional
F Block PCS licenses in the Baton Rouge, Houma, Hammond and Lafayette, Louisiana
BTAs from Mercury PCS II, L.L.C., an AT&T affiliate for estimated total
consideration of $6,400,000. The total consideration is comprised of 2,332
shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 2,269 shares of Class A Voting Common
Stock with an estimated value of $2,300,000 and the assumption of FCC debt of
$4,100,000. The final closing of this transaction is pending approval by the
FCC. In addition, upon the final closing of this acquisition, the VC Investors
will contribute an additional $5,000,000 of capital to the Venture in exchange
for preferred and common stock.

hereunder but nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Executive from (i)
participating in charitable and community activities or (ii) subject to prior
approval of the Board of Directors of the Company, serving on the board of
directors of another company, provided that in each case such activities or
services
<PAGE>
do not materially interfere with the regular performance of his duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement. For so long as Executive is employed by
the Company, the Executive agrees to use all reasonable efforts, skills and
abilities to promote the Company's interests; to serve as an officer of the
Company; and to perform any duties (consistent with his status) as may be

CONTRARY, THE EXECUTIVE IS AN EMPLOYEE-AT-WILL OF THE COMPANY AND HAS NO RIGHT,
WHETHER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, TO ANY CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT WITH THE
COMPANY.
3. Compensation. For so long as Executive is employed by the
------------
Company, the Executive shall be compensated as follows:
(a) Executive shall receive, at such intervals and in accordance with

discretion, taking into consideration all relevant factors, including, without
limitation, the financial performance and development of the Company and the

(c) the Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all
reasonable expenses actually incurred or paid by the Executive in the

6. Termination for Cause/Voluntary Termination. If the Executive's
-------------------------------------------
employment is terminated for Cause, or if the Executive voluntarily terminates
the Executive's employment, then the Executive shall be entitled to receive only
Accrued Benefits.
7. Termination Giving Rise to a Termination Payment.
------------------------------------------------
(a) If the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company other
than for Cause, then the Executive shall be entitled to receive and the Company
shall promptly pay Accrued Benefits through the Termination Date, and the
Company further agrees that Executive shall be entitled to receive, and the
Company hereby agrees to pay to Executive, an amount equal to twelve month's of
Executive's then Base Salary (the "Termination Payment"). The Termination
Payment shall be payable to the Executive at such intervals in accordance with
the Company's normal payroll practices as if Executive remained in the employ of
the Company.
(b) If the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company other
than for Cause and the Executive is entitled to Accrued Benefits and the
Termination Payment, then the Executive shall continue to be covered at the
expense of the Company by the same or equivalent hospital, medical, and dental

others providing services, within the Company's service area, or by being an
investor (representing more than a 5% equity interest) in a Person engaged in
the same business then engaged in by the Company in the Company's service area.

of the Company.
(c) For a period of one year following the Termination Date, the

this Section 9 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the
laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is
sought. Accordingly, if any particular portion of this Section 9 shall be
adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, this Section 9 shall be deemed

TELECORP PCS, INC.
RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN
SHARE GRANT AGREEMENT
---------------------
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into by and between TeleCorp PCS, Inc., a
Delaware Corporation (the "Company"), and Steven Chandler, an employee of the
Company (hereinafter the "Executive").
WHEREAS, the Company adopted the TeleCorp PCS, Inc. 1998 Restricted
Stock Plan (the "Plan") on July 16, 1998 in order to be able to award certain
preferred and common shares of the Company to certain executives of the Company
so as to give them a proprietary interest in the Company's success and to ensure
their continuation as employees of the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Executive renders important services to the Company or a
subsidiary of the Company, and the Company desires to award shares to the
Executive under the Plan;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Issuance of Grant Shares. The Company hereby grants to the
------------------------
Executive and the Executive hereby accepts from the Company upon the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, 255.59 shares of Series E Preferred Stock of
the Company and 520.92 shares of Class A Voting Common Stock of the Company (the
"Grant Shares"). The effective date of issuance of the Grant Shares is the date
hereof. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to issue to
the Executive one or more certificates in his name for the Grant Shares. The
Grant Shares will be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-
assessable. The Grant Shares will be held by the Company in the name of the
Executive until fully vested pursuant to Section 4, below.
2. Other Conditions and Limitations. The Grant Shares are granted on
--------------------------------
the condition that the receipt of the Grant Shares hereunder shall be for
investment purposes and not with a view to resale or distribution, except that
such condition shall be inoperative if the reoffering of
<PAGE>
Grant Shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or if
in the opinion of counsel for the Company such Grant Shares may be resold
without registration.
3. Relationship to Plan. The Grant Shares granted pursuant to this
--------------------
Agreement have been granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects subject
to the terms, conditions and definitions of the Plan. The Executive hereby
accepts the Grant Shares subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan and
agrees that all decisions and the interpretations of the Plan by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Committee") shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Executive and his
heirs.
4. Forfeiture of Grant Shares. The Grant Shares shall vest in
--------------------------
accordance with the schedule set forth on Schedule B of the Plan. In addition,
----------
the following forfeiture provisions are hereby imposed upon the Grant Shares and
shares issued in respect of such Grant Shares as share dividends or as share
splits, or otherwise (the term "Grant Shares" as used in this Agreement to
include all such shares):
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b), the Executive must
remain employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries during the
vesting periods set forth on Schedule B of the Plan to vest in such
----------
Grant Shares. If the Executive fails to satisfy such requirements and
is not otherwise vested under paragraph (b), the Executive shall
forfeit and transfer to one or more persons designated by the
Committee, all unvested Grant Shares granted pursuant to this
Agreement.
(b) If the Executive's employment with the Company or one of its
subsidiaries terminates prior to vesting in any Grant Shares issued
pursuant to this Agreement by reason of his retirement under a
retirement plan maintained by the Company or one of its subsidiaries,
the Committee may, in its sole discretion, specify that the Executive
become vested at that time, at a future date or upon the completion of
such other conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may
provide.
(c) Executive further agrees that the Grant Shares shall be
subject to repurchase by the Company at a repurchase price of $.01 per
share in accordance with the terms of Exhibit A attached hereto.
---------

(d) Within 30 days of an event giving rise to a forfeiture under
paragraphs (a) or (b) hereof, the Executive shall deliver to one or more
persons specified by the Committee, all certificates representing the Grant
Shares which have been forfeited together with stock powers validly
assigning such Grant Shares to such other persons as the Committee may
designate. The Company shall make no payment to the Executive with respect
to any Grant Shares so forfeited.
(e) If the Executive fails to comply with any of the provisions of
this Section 4, the Company, at its option and in addition to its other
remedies, may suspend the rights of the Executive to vote and to receive
future dividends on the Grant Shares which have been forfeited or may
refuse to register on its books any transfer or change in the ownership of
the Grant Shares which have been forfeited or in the right to vote thereon,
until the provisions of this Section 4 are complied with to the
satisfaction of the Company. To ensure compliance with the terms of this
Agreement, the Company may issue to its transfer agent appropriate stop
transfer instructions with respect of the Grant Shares (including without
limitation any vested Grant Shares).
5. Nontransferability of Shares. Any Grant Shares which are not vested,
----------------------------
as specified in Section 4 above, shall be non-transferable by the Executive.
Transfer of Grant Shares which are vested is further restricted pursuant to the
terms of a Stockholders' Agreement by and among Executive, the Company, AT&T
PCS, TWR Cellular and the Cash Equity Investors, TeleCorp Investors and
Management Stockholders identified therein, executed as of the date hereof (the
"Stockholders' Agreement").
6. Legends. Each certificate representing Grant Shares shall contain
-------
legends in substantially the form set forth in Section 4.1(a) and (b) of the
Stockholders' Agreement.
7. Rights as Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or

more than ten percent (10%) of the Common Stock on a fully diluted basis
(excluding for such purposes the Series A Preferred Stock).
(c) Prior to the IPO Date, Executive agrees that he will not transfer
any Vested Shares of Preferred Stock held by him except after complying with
Section 2.2; it being understood that on and after the IPO Date, Executive may
transfer his Vested Shares of Preferred Stock free from any restrictions on
transfer of such shares under this Agreement, but subject at all times to the
restrictions imposed by federal and state securities laws.
SECTION 2.2 Right of First Offer.
-----------
(a) If Executive desires to Transfer any or all of his Vested Shares
of Preferred Stock or Common Stock (collectively, the "Offered Shares"), he
shall give written notice (the "Offer Notice") to the Company and to each
Stockholder entitled to become the First Offeree of such Offered Shares, as
determined below. Each Offer Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the
number of shares of each class of Offered Shares, the cash purchase price
requested and all other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer.
The Offer Notice shall constitute an irrevocable offer (a "First Offer") to sell
all (and not less than all) of the Offered Shares to the First Offeree(s) at a
cash price equal to the price contained in such Offer Notice and upon the same
terms as the terms contained in such Offer Notice. The First Offeree shall have
the irrevocable right and option, exercisable as provided below, but not the
obligation, to accept the First Offer as to all (and not less than all) of the
Offered Shares. The "First Offeree" shall be AT&T PCS.
(b) The option provided for herein shall be exercisable by the First
Offeree by giving written notice (a "Purchase Notice"), that the First Offeree
desires to purchase all (and not less than all) of such Offered Shares from the
Seller, to the Stockholders (other than the Seller) and the Company not later
than ten (10) business days (the "First Offer Period") after the date of the
Offer Notice. The purchase of the Offered Shares by the First Offeree shall be
closed at the principal executive offices of the Company on a date specified by
the First Offeree upon at least five (5) business days' notice, that is within
thirty (30) days after the expiration of the First Offer Period; provided,
--------
however, that if such purchase is subject to the consent of the FCC or any
- -------
public service or public utilities commission, the purchase of the Offered
Shares shall be closed on the first business day after all such consents shall
have been obtained by Final Order.
(c) If the First Offeree declines (which shall include the failure to
give timely notice of acceptance) to purchase all of the Offered Shares subject
to the First Offer within the First Offer Period, the Seller shall have the
right (for a period of ninety (90) days following the expiration of the First
Offer Period) to consummate the sale of the Offered Shares to any person;
provided, however, that the purchase price of such Offered Shares payable by
- -------- -------
such person must be at least equal to the cash purchase price thereof set forth
in the Offer Notice and all other terms and conditions of any such sale shall
not be more beneficial to such third party than those contained in the Offer
Notice. If any Offered Shares are not sold pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2.2 prior to the expiration of the ninety (90) day period specified in
the immediately preceding sentence, such Offered
-8-
<PAGE>
Shares shall become subject once again to the provisions and restrictions
hereof; provided, however, that if such purchase is subject to the consent of
-------- -------
the FCC or any public service or public utilities commission, the purchase of
the Offered Shares shall be closed on the first business day after all such
consents shall have been obtained by Final Order.
(d) The purchase price of any Offered Shares Transferred pursuant to
this Section 2.2 shall be payable in cash by certified bank check or by wire
transfer of immediately available funds.
SECTION 2.3 Rights of Inclusion.
-----------
(a) Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, Transfer, in any
single transaction or series of related transactions to one or more Persons
(each such Person an "Inclusion Event Purchaser") shares of any series or class
of stock issued by the Company (collectively, "Inclusion Stock") in
circumstances in which, after giving effect to such Transfer, whether acting
alone or in concert with any other Stockholder (such parties referred to herein
as "Selling Stockholders") would result in such Selling Stockholder(s)
Transferring twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the outstanding shares of any
such class of Inclusion Stock outstanding on the date of such proposed Transfer
on a fully diluted basis (an "Inclusion Event"), unless the terms and conditions
of such sale to such Inclusion Event Purchaser shall include an offer to AT&T
PCS, the Cash Equity Investors, and the Management Stockholders (each, an
"Inclusion Event Offeree") to Transfer to such Inclusion Event Purchasers up to
that number of shares of any class of Inclusion Stock then beneficially owned
(as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) by each Inclusion Event
Offeree that bears the same proportion to the total number of shares of
Inclusion Stock at that time beneficially owned (without duplication) by each
such Inclusion Event Offeree as the number of shares of Inclusion Stock being
Transferred by the Selling Stockholders (including shares of Inclusion Stock
theretofore Transferred if in any applicable series of related transactions)
bears to the total number of shares of Inclusion Stock at the time beneficially
owned (without duplication) by the Selling Stockholders (including shares of
Inclusion Stock theretofore Transferred if in any applicable series of related
transactions). If the Selling Stockholders receive a bona fide offer from an
Inclusion Event Purchaser to purchase shares of Inclusion Stock in circumstances
in which, after giving effect to such sale would result in an Inclusion Event,
and which offer such Selling Stockholders wish to accept, the Selling
Stockholders shall then cause the Inclusion Event Purchaser's offer to be
reduced to writing (which writing shall include an offer to purchase shares of
Inclusion Stock from each Inclusion Event Offeree according to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 2.3) and the Selling Stockholders shall
send written notice of the Inclusion Event Purchaser's offer (the "Inclusion
Notice") to each Inclusion Event Offeree, which Inclusion Notice shall specify
(i) the names of the Selling Stockholders, (ii) the names and addresses of the
proposed acquiring Person, (iii) the amount of shares proposed to be Transferred
and the price, form of consideration and other terms and conditions of such
Transfer (including, if in a series of related transactions, such information
with respect to shares of Inclusion Stock theretofore Transferred), (iv) that
the acquiring Person has been informed of the rights provided for in this
Section 2.3 and has agreed to purchase shares of Inclusion Stock in accordance
with the terms hereof, and (v)
-9-
<PAGE>
the date by which each other Selling Stockholder may exercise its respective
rights contained in this Section 2.3, which date shall not be less than thirty
(30) days after the giving of the Inclusion Notice. The Inclusion Notice shall
be accompanied by a true and correct copy of the Inclusion Event Purchaser's
offer. At any time within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Inclusion
Notice, each Inclusion Event Offeree may accept the offer included in the
Inclusion Notice for up to such number of shares of Inclusion Stock as is
determined in accordance with this Section 2.3, by furnishing written notice of
such acceptance to each Selling Stockholder, and delivering, to an escrow agent
(which shall be a bank or a law or accounting firm designated by the Inclusion),
on behalf of the Selling Stockholders, the certificate or certificates
representing the shares of Inclusion Stock to be sold pursuant to such offer by
each Inclusion Event Offeree, duly endorsed in blank, together with a limited
power-of-attorney authorizing the escrow agent, on behalf of the Inclusion Event
Offeree, to sell the shares to be sold pursuant to the terms of such Inclusion
Event Purchaser's offer.
In the event that the Inclusion Event Purchaser does not agree to purchase
all of the shares of Inclusion Stock proposed to be sold by the Selling
Stockholders and the Inclusion Event Offerees, then each Selling Stockholder and
Inclusion Event Offeree shall have the right to sell to the Inclusion Event
Purchaser that number of shares of Inclusion Stock as shall be equal to (x) the
number of shares of Inclusion Stock which the Inclusion Event Purchaser has
agreed to purchase times (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
shares of Inclusion Stock beneficially owned (without duplication) by such
Selling Stockholder or Inclusion Event Offeree and the denominator of which is
the aggregate number of shares of Inclusion Stock beneficially owned (without
duplication) by all Selling Stockholders and Inclusion Event Offerees. If any
Inclusion Event Offeree desires to sell less than its proportionate amount of
shares of Inclusion Stock that it is entitled to sell pursuant to this Section
2.3, then the Selling Stockholders and the remaining Inclusion Event Offerees
shall have the right to sell to the Inclusion Event Purchaser an additional
amount of shares of Inclusion Stock as shall be equal to (x) the number of
shares of Inclusion Stock not being sold by any such Inclusion Event Purchasers
times (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of
Inclusion Stock owned such Selling Stockholder or remaining Inclusion Event
Offeree and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of
Inclusion Stock beneficially owned (without duplication) by all Selling
Stockholders and remaining Inclusion Event Offerees. Such process shall be
repeated in series until all of the remaining Inclusion Event Offerees agree to
sell their remaining proportionate number of shares of Inclusion Stock.
(b) The purchase from each Inclusion Event Offeree pursuant to this
Section 2.3 shall be on the same terms and conditions, including the price per
share received by the Selling Stockholders and stated in the Inclusion Notice
provided to each Inclusion Event Offeree.
(c) Simultaneously with the consummation of the sale of the shares of
Inclusion Stock of the Selling Stockholders and each Inclusion Event Offeree to
the Inclusion Event Purchaser pursuant to the Inclusion Event Purchaser's offer,
the Selling Stockholders shall notify each Inclusion Event Offeree and shall
cause the purchaser to
-10-
<PAGE>
remit to each Inclusion Event Offeree the total sales price of the shares of
Inclusion Stock held by each Inclusion Event Offeree sold pursuant thereto and
shall furnish such other evidence of the completion and time of completion of
such sale and the terms thereof as may be reasonably requested by each Inclusion
Event Offeree.
(d) If within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Inclusion Notice,
an Inclusion Event Offeree has not accepted the offer contained in the Inclusion
Notice, such Inclusion Event Offeree shall be deemed to have waived any and all
rights with respect to the sale described in the Inclusion Notice (but not with
respect to any subsequent sale, to the extent this Section 2.3 is applicable to
such subsequent sale) and the Selling Stockholders shall have sixty (60) days in
which to sell not more than the number of shares of Inclusion Stock described in
the Inclusion Notice, on terms not more favorable to the Selling Stockholders
than were set forth in the Inclusion Notice; provided, however, that if such
-------- -------
purchase is subject to the consent of the FCC or any public service or public
utilities commission, the purchase of the Offered Shares shall be closed on the
first business day after all such consents shall have been obtained by Final
Order.
SECTION 2.4 RIGHT OF FIRST NEGOTIATION. In the event that Executive
----------- --------------------------
desires to Transfer any shares of Common Stock following the IPO Date in a
Transfer described in Section 2.1(b), he shall give written notice thereof to
AT&T PCS, such notice to specify, among other things, the number of shares that
he desires to sell. For the applicable first negotiation period hereinafter set
forth, AT&T PCS shall have the exclusive right to negotiate with Executive with
respect to the purchase of such shares; it being understood and agreed that such
exclusive right shall not be deemed to be a right of first offer or right of
first refusal for the benefit of AT&T PCS and Executive shall have the right to
reject any offer made by AT&T PCS during such applicable first negotiation
period. Upon the expiration of such applicable first negotiation period,
Executive shall have the right (for the applicable offer period hereinafter set
forth with respect to each applicable first negotiation period), following the
expiration of such applicable first negotiation period, to offer and sell such
shares included in such written notice on such terms and conditions as shall be
acceptable to such Executive in his sole discretion. If any of such shares
included in such written notice are not sold pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2.4 prior to the expiration of the applicable offer period, such shares
shall become subject once again to the provision and restrictions hereof.
If Executive desires to Transfer shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule
144, the applicable first negotiation period shall be three (3) hours (it being
understood and agreed that Executive shall, in addition to giving written notice
of such proposed Transfer by facsimile, use commercially reasonable efforts to
contact AT&T PCS by telephone) and the applicable offer period upon the
expiration of such first negotiation period shall be five (5) business days, and
in any single transaction or series of related transactions to one or more
persons which will result in the Transfer by Executive (together with any other
Stockholder participating in such single transaction or series of related
transactions) of not more than ten percent (10%) of the Common Stock on a fully
diluted basis (excluding for such purposes the Series A Preferred Stock), the
applicable first negotiation period shall be one (1) business day, so long as
notice of such proposed Transfer is given to AT&T PCS
-11-
<PAGE>
prior to 9:00 A.M. on the day prior to the date of such proposed Transfer (it
being understood and agreed that Executive shall, in addition to giving written
notice of such proposed Transfer by facsimile, use commercially reasonable
efforts to contact AT&T PCS by telephone) and the applicable offer period upon
the expiration of such first negotiation period shall be ten (10) business days.
Section 2.5 Additional Conditions to Permitted Transfers.
-----------
(a) Upon any Transfer pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.3,
each Transferee that is not a party hereto shall, prior to such Transfer, agree
in writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to
Executive (and shall thereby become a Stockholder for all purposes of this
Agreement). Any Transfer without compliance with such provisions of this
Agreement shall be null and void and such Transferee shall have no rights as a
Stockholder of the Company.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Executive agrees that he will not effect a Transfer of shares of
Company Stock to anyone prohibited by the Company; provided, however, that
-------- -------
nothing contained in this Section 2.5(b) shall be construed to prohibit a
Transfer of Common Stock by Executive after the IPO Date pursuant to an
underwritten registration or in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144.
Section 2.6 Representations And Warranties. A Stockholder purchasing
----------- ------------------------------
shares of Company Stock pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be entitled to receive
representations and warranties from the transferring Stockholder that such
Stockholder has the authority (corporate or otherwise) to sell such shares, is
the sole owner of such shares, and has good and valid title to such shares, free
and clear of any and all Liens (other than pursuant to this Agreement, the
Restated Certificate or any Related Agreement), and that the sale of such shares
does not violate any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound.
Section 2.7 Stop-Transfer.
-----------
(a) The Company agrees not to effect any Transfer of shares of
Company Stock by Executive whose proposed Transfer is subject to Sections 2.2,
2.3 or 2.4 until it has received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the
rights provided to any other Stockholders pursuant to such Sections, if
applicable to such Transfer, have been complied with and satisfied in all
respects. No Transfer of any shares of Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock shall
be made except in compliance with all applicable securities laws. Any Transfer
made in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void.

first with Section 2.2 and next with Section 2.3, if applicable.
(b) Executive agrees that at all times on and after the IPO Date
she shall not, directly or indirectly, transfer any of the Vested Shares except
after complying first with Section 2.2 and next with Section 2.3, if applicable,
provided, however, Executive shall not be required to comply with Section 2.2 if
- -------- -------
she first complies with the applicable provisions of Section 2.4 in connection
with Transfers of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144, or in any single
transaction or series of related transactions to one or more persons which

<PAGE>

(excluding for such purposes the Series A Preferred Stock).
(c) Prior to the IPO Date, Executive agrees that she will not
transfer any Vested Shares of Preferred Stock held by her except after complying
with Section 2.2; it being understood that on and after the IPO Date, Executive
may transfer her Vested Shares of Preferred Stock free from any restrictions on
transfer of such shares under this Agreement, but subject at all times to the
restrictions imposed by federal and state securities laws.
Section 2.2 Right of First Offer.
------- ---
(a) If Executive desires to Transfer any or all of her Vested
Shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock (collectively, the "Offered Shares"),
she shall give written notice (the "Offer Notice") to the Company and to each
Stockholder entitled to become the First Offeree of such Offered Shares, as
determined below. Each Offer Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the
number of shares of each class of Offered Shares, the cash purchase price
requested and all other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer.
The Offer Notice shall constitute an irrevocable offer (a "First Offer") to sell
all (and not less than all) of the Offered Shares to the First Offeree(s) at a
cash price equal to the price contained in such Offer Notice and upon the same
terms as the terms contained in such Offer Notice. The First Offeree shall have
the irrevocable right and option, exercisable as provided below, but not the
obligation, to accept the First Offer as to all (and not less than all) of the
Offered Shares. The "First Offeree" shall be AT&T PCS.
(b) The option provided for herein shall be exercisable by the
First Offeree by giving written notice (a "Purchase Notice"), that the First
Offeree desires to purchase all (and not less than all) of such Offered Shares
from the Seller, to the Stockholders (other than the Seller) and the Company not
later than ten (10) business days (the "First Offer Period") after the date of
the Offer Notice. The purchase of the Offered Shares by the First Offeree shall
be closed at the principal executive offices of the Company on a date specified
by the First Offeree upon at least five (5) business days' notice, that is
within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the First Offer Period;
provided, however, that if such purchase is subject to the consent of the FCC or
- -------- -------
any public service or public utilities commission, the purchase of the Offered
Shares shall be closed on the first business day after all such consents shall
have been obtained by Final Order.
(c) If the First Offeree declines (which shall include the
failure to give timely notice of acceptance) to purchase all of the Offered
Shares subject to the First Offer within the First Offer Period, the Seller
shall have the right (for a period of ninety (90) days following the expiration
of the First Offer Period) to consummate the sale of the Offered Shares to any
person; provided, however, that the purchase price of such Offered Shares
-------- -------
payable by such person must be at least equal to the cash purchase price thereof
set forth in the Offer Notice and all other terms and conditions of any such
sale shall not be more beneficial to such third party than those contained in
the Offer Notice. If any Offered Shares are not sold pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 2.2 prior to the expiration of the ninety (90) day period
specified in the immediately preceding sentence, such Offered
-8-
<PAGE>
Shares shall become subject once again to the provisions and restrictions
hereof; provided, however, that if such purchase is subject to the consent of
-------- -------
the FCC or any public service or public utilities commission, the purchase of
the Offered Shares shall be closed on the first business day after all such
consents shall have been obtained by Final Order.
(d) The purchase price of any Offered Shares Transferred
pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be payable in cash by certified bank check or
by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
Section 2.3 Rights of Inclusion.
-----------
(a) Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, Transfer, in
any single transaction or series of related transactions to one or more Persons
(each such Person an "Inclusion Event Purchaser") shares of any series or class
of stock issued by the Company (collectively, "Inclusion Stock") in
circumstances in which, after giving effect to such Transfer, whether acting
alone or in concert with any other Stockholder (such parties referred to herein
as "Selling Stockholders") would result in such Selling Stockholder(s)
Transferring twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the outstanding shares of any
such class of Inclusion Stock outstanding on the date of such proposed Transfer
on a fully diluted basis (an "Inclusion Event"), unless the terms and conditions
of such sale to such Inclusion Event Purchaser shall include an offer to AT&T
PCS, the Cash Equity Investors, and the Management Stockholders (each, an
"Inclusion Event Offeree") to Transfer to such Inclusion Event Purchasers up to
that number of shares of any class of Inclusion Stock then beneficially owned
(as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) by each Inclusion Event
Offeree that bears the same proportion to the total number of shares of
Inclusion Stock at that time beneficially owned (without duplication) by each
such Inclusion Event Offeree as the number of shares of Inclusion Stock being
Transferred by the Selling Stockholders (including shares of Inclusion Stock
theretofore Transferred if in any applicable series of related transactions)
bears to the total number of shares of Inclusion Stock at the time beneficially
owned (without duplication) by the Selling Stockholders (including shares of
Inclusion Stock theretofore Transferred if in any applicable series of related
transactions). If the Selling Stockholders receive a bona fide offer from an
Inclusion Event Purchaser to purchase shares of Inclusion Stock in circumstances
in which, after giving effect to such sale would result in an Inclusion Event,
and which offer such Selling Stockholders wish to accept, the Selling
Stockholders shall then cause the Inclusion Event Purchaser's offer to be
reduced to writing (which writing shall include an offer to purchase shares of
Inclusion Stock from each Inclusion Event Offeree according to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 2.3) and the Selling Stockholders shall
send written notice of the Inclusion Event Purchaser's offer (the "Inclusion
Notice") to each Inclusion Event Offeree, which Inclusion Notice shall specify
(i) the names of the Selling Stockholders, (ii) the names and addresses of the
proposed acquiring Person, (iii) the amount of shares proposed to be Transferred
and the price, form of consideration and other terms and conditions of such
Transfer (including, if in a series of related transactions, such information
with respect to shares of Inclusion Stock theretofore Transferred), (iv) that
the acquiring Person has been informed of the rights provided for in this
Section 2.3 and has agreed to purchase shares of Inclusion Stock in accordance
with the terms hereof, and (v)
-9-
<PAGE>
the date by which each other Selling Stockholder may exercise its respective
rights contained in this Section 2.3, which date shall not be less than thirty
(30) days after the giving of the Inclusion Notice. The Inclusion Notice shall
be accompanied by a true and correct copy of the Inclusion Event Purchaser's
offer. At any time within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Inclusion
Notice, each Inclusion Event Offeree may accept the offer included in the
Inclusion Notice for up to such number of shares of Inclusion Stock as is
determined in accordance with this Section 2.3, by furnishing written notice of
such acceptance to each Selling Stockholder, and delivering, to an escrow agent
(which shall be a bank or a law or accounting firm designated by the Inclusion),
on behalf of the Selling Stockholders, the certificate or certificates
representing the shares of Inclusion Stock to be sold pursuant to such offer by
each Inclusion Event Offeree, duly endorsed in blank, together with a limited
power-of-attorney authorizing the escrow agent, on behalf of the Inclusion Event
Offeree, to sell the shares to be sold pursuant to the terms of such Inclusion
Event Purchaser's offer.
In the event that the Inclusion Event Purchaser does not agree to purchase
all of the shares of Inclusion Stock proposed to be sold by the Selling
Stockholders and the Inclusion Event Offerees, then each Selling Stockholder and
Inclusion Event Offeree shall have the right to sell to the Inclusion Event
Purchaser that number of shares of Inclusion Stock as shall be equal to (x) the
number of shares of Inclusion Stock which the Inclusion Event Purchaser has
agreed to purchase times (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
shares of Inclusion Stock beneficially owned (without duplication) by such
Selling Stockholder or Inclusion Event Offeree and the denominator of which is
the aggregate number of shares of Inclusion Stock beneficially owned (without
duplication) by all Selling Stockholders and Inclusion Event Offerees. If any
Inclusion Event Offeree desires to sell less than its proportionate amount of
shares of Inclusion Stock that it is entitled to sell pursuant to this Section
2.3, then the Selling Stockholders and the remaining Inclusion Event Offerees
shall have the right to sell to the Inclusion Event Purchaser an additional
amount of shares of Inclusion Stock as shall be equal to (x) the number of
shares of Inclusion Stock not being sold by any such Inclusion Event Purchasers
times (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of
Inclusion Stock owned such Selling Stockholder or remaining Inclusion Event
Offeree and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of
Inclusion Stock beneficially owned (without duplication) by all Selling
Stockholders and remaining Inclusion Event Offerees. Such process shall be
repeated in series until all of the remaining Inclusion Event Offerees agree to
sell their remaining proportionate number of shares of Inclusion Stock.
(b) The purchase from each Inclusion Event Offeree pursuant to
this Section 2.3 shall be on the same terms and conditions, including the price
per share received by the Selling Stockholders and stated in the Inclusion
Notice provided to each Inclusion Event Offeree.
(c) Simultaneously with the consummation of the sale of the
shares of Inclusion Stock of the Selling Stockholders and each Inclusion Event
Offeree to the Inclusion Event Purchaser pursuant to the Inclusion Event
Purchaser's offer, the Selling Stockholders shall notify each Inclusion Event
Offeree and shall cause the purchaser to
-10-
<PAGE>
remit to each Inclusion Event Offeree the total sales price of the shares of
Inclusion Stock held by each Inclusion Event Offeree sold pursuant thereto and
shall furnish such other evidence of the completion and time of completion of
such sale and the terms thereof as may be reasonably requested by each Inclusion
Event Offeree.
(d) If within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Inclusion
Notice, an Inclusion Event Offeree has not accepted the offer contained in the
Inclusion Notice, such Inclusion Event Offeree shall be deemed to have waived
any and all rights with respect to the sale described in the Inclusion Notice
(but not with respect to any subsequent sale, to the extent this Section 2.3 is
applicable to such subsequent sale) and the Selling Stockholders shall have
sixty (60) days in which to sell not more than the number of shares of Inclusion
Stock described in the Inclusion Notice, on terms not more favorable to the
Selling Stockholders than were set forth in the Inclusion Notice; provided,
--------
however, that if such purchase is subject to the consent of the FCC or any
- -------
public service or public utilities commission, the purchase of the Offered
Shares shall be closed on the first business day after all such consents shall
have been obtained by Final Order.
Section 2.4 Right of First Negotiation. In the event that Executive
------- --- --------------------------
desires to Transfer any shares of Common Stock following the IPO Date in a
Transfer described in Section 2.1(b), she shall give written notice thereof to
AT&T PCS, such notice to specify, among other things, the number of shares that
she desires to sell. For the applicable first negotiation period hereinafter
set forth, AT&T PCS shall have the exclusive right to negotiate with Executive
with respect to the purchase of such shares; it being understood and agreed that
such exclusive right shall not be deemed to be a right of first offer or right
of first refusal for the benefit of AT&T PCS and Executive shall have the right
to reject any offer made by AT&T PCS during such applicable first negotiation
period. Upon the expiration of such applicable first negotiation period,
Executive shall have the right (for the applicable offer period hereinafter set
forth with respect to each applicable first negotiation period), following the
expiration of such applicable first negotiation period, to offer and sell such
shares included in such written notice on such terms and conditions as shall be
acceptable to such Executive in her sole discretion. If any of such shares
included in such written notice are not sold pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2.4 prior to the expiration of the applicable offer period, such shares
shall become subject once again to the provision and restrictions hereof.
If Executive desires to Transfer shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule
144, the applicable first negotiation period shall be three (3) hours (it being
understood and agreed that Executive shall, in addition to giving written notice
of such proposed Transfer by facsimile, use commercially reasonable efforts to
contact AT&T PCS by telephone) and the applicable offer period upon the
expiration of such first negotiation period shall be five (5) business days, and
in any single transaction or series of related transactions to one or more
persons which will result in the Transfer by Executive (together with any other
Stockholder participating in such single transaction or series of related
transactions) of not more than ten percent (10%) of the Common Stock on a fully
diluted basis (excluding for such purposes the Series A Preferred Stock), the
applicable first negotiation period shall be one (1) business day, so long as
notice of such proposed Transfer is given to AT&T PCS
-11-
<PAGE>
prior to 9:00 A.M. on the day prior to the date of such proposed Transfer (it
being understood and agreed that Executive shall, in addition to giving written
notice of such proposed Transfer by facsimile, use commercially reasonable
efforts to contact AT&T PCS by telephone) and the applicable offer period upon
the expiration of such first negotiation period shall be ten (10) business days.
Section 2.5 Additional Conditions to Permitted Transfers.
------- ---
(a) Upon any Transfer pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.3,
each Transferee that is not a party hereto shall, prior to such Transfer, agree
in writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to
Executive (and shall thereby become a Stockholder for all purposes of this
Agreement). Any Transfer without compliance with such provisions of this
Agreement shall be null and void and such Transferee shall have no rights as a
Stockholder of the Company.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Executive agrees that she will not effect a Transfer of shares of
Company Stock to anyone prohibited by the Company; provided, however, that
-------- -------
nothing contained in this Section 2.5(b) shall be construed to prohibit a
Transfer of Common Stock by Executive after the IPO Date pursuant to an
underwritten registration or in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144.
Section 2.6 Representations and Warranties. A Stockholder purchasing
------- --- ------------------------------
shares of Company Stock pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be entitled to receive
representations and warranties from the transferring Stockholder that such
Stockholder has the authority (corporate or otherwise) to sell such shares, is
the sole owner of such shares, and has good and valid title to such shares, free
and clear of any and all Liens (other than pursuant to this Agreement, the
Restated Certificate or any Related Agreement), and that the sale of such shares
does not violate any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound.
Section 2.7 Stop-Transfer.
------- ---
(a) The Company agrees not to effect any Transfer of shares of
Company Stock by Executive whose proposed Transfer is subject to Sections 2.2,
2.3 or 2.4 until it has received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the
rights provided to any other Stockholders pursuant to such Sections, if
applicable to such Transfer, have been complied with and satisfied in all
respects. No Transfer of any shares of Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock shall
be made except in compliance with all applicable securities laws. Any Transfer
made in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void.

Exhibit 10.25
SEPARATION AGREEMENT
--------------------
It is hereby agreed by and between Robert Dowski ("Dowski") and TeleCorp
PCS, Inc. and TeleCorp Communications, Inc. (collectively "TeleCorp") for good
and sufficient consideration more fully described below ("Agreement"), that:
1. Employment Status.
Dowski's employment with TeleCorp shall cease on March 8, 1999 (the
"Separation Date"). Dowski's regular salary and benefits will likewise cease as
of the Separation Date, including any entitlement he had or might have had under
any TeleCorp provided benefit programs, except as required by federal or state
law or otherwise described below. The Separation Date shall be the date of the
"qualifying event" under the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985
("COBRA"), and Dowski will receive COBRA information under separate cover.
2. Consideration
In consideration of Dowski's agreement in paragraphs 8(c), 5(a), 6 and 7,
and the other consideration provided herein, and provided that Dowski shall not
have taken any action to revoke this agreement, TeleCorp will make the following
payments.
a. TeleCorp will pay Dowski Seventeen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($17,500) a month for the twelve months following the Separation Date in
accordance with TeleCorp's normal payroll practices beginning on the next
regularly scheduled payday, but not before the expiration of the seven (7) day
waiting period as set forth in paragraph 10. All amounts set forth in this
Section 2 are subject to applicable (if any) federal, state and local
withholding, payroll and other taxes.
b. TeleCorp will pay Dowski a lump sum payment of One Hundred and Five
Thousand Dollars ($105,000) representing his 1998 bonus, such payment to be made
on the same date as TeleCorp pays its 1998 bonuses to its other employees, but
not before the expiration of the seven (7) day waiting period as set forth in
paragraph 10.
c. TeleCorp will pay Dowski together with his next regular paycheck a
lump sum equal to his earned but unpaid vacation, including any amounts carried
over from 1998, in accordance with TeleCorp's vacation payment policy.
d. TeleCorp will reimburse Dowski a total of $4,300 (after tax) in
accordance with TeleCorp's relocation policy in payment for his February and
March duplicate housing relocation benefit.
e. TeleCorp will pay Dowski, within a reasonable period of time after
Dowski's submission of documentation reasonably acceptable to TeleCorp, a lump
sum equal to the total outstanding amounts due to Dowski for travel and expense
reimbursement, net of any amounts due TeleCorp, in accordance with TeleCorp's
reimbursement policies; provided, however, that
<PAGE>
within a reasonable period of time after execution of this Agreement, TeleCorp's
Audit Committee will commission an audit of Dowski's expenses as charged by
Dowski to TeleCorp's company credit card(s). Any and all expenses that the Audit
Committee determines are personal in nature (collectively, "Dowski Personal
Expenses") will be offset against any reimbursable amounts due to Dowski
hereunder. In the event that the Dowski Personal Expenses exceed the total
reimbursable amounts due to Dowski under this Section 5(e), such excess amount
shall be offset against amounts due to Dowski elsewhere under this Agreement.
f. To the extent that Dowski is not eligible for coverage under benefit
plans of subsequent employers, Dowski will continue to be covered for a period
of twelve months after the Separation Date at the expense of TeleCorp by the
same or equivalent hospital, medical, and dental coverage as Dowski was covered
by immediately prior to the Separation Date.
g. Within seven (7) business days after TeleCorp receives this Agreement
executed by Dowski, TeleCorp will:
(i) Pay Dowski $18.93 in the aggregate for the repurchase of his
Extraordinary Event Shares, Supplemental Shares and nonvested Base Shares; and
(ii) Pursuant to the Share Grant Agreement dated July 16, 1998,
TeleCorp will issue stock certificates to Dowski representing 139.448 shares of
Class A voting common stock and 136.948 shares of Series E Preferred Stock,
respectively.
The shares to be issued as set forth above will continue to be restricted in
accordance with the Stockholders' Agreement by and among Dowski, TeleCorp PCS,
Inc. and certain other stockholders dated July 17, 1998.
3. Settlement of Amounts Due
The amounts set forth in Section 2 shall be complete and unconditional
payment, settlement, satisfaction and accord with respect to all obligations and
liabilities of TeleCorp to Dowski, and with respect to all claims, causes of
action and damages that could be asserted by Dowski against TeleCorp arising out
of Dowski's employment with and separation of employment with TeleCorp,
including, without limitation, all claims for wages, back wages, salary,
vacation pay, draws, commissions, bonuses, compensation, professional expenses,
severance pay, attorney's fees, compensatory damages, special damages, reliance
damages, punitive damages, treble damages, consequential damages, exemplary
damages, emotional distress damages, or other costs or sums.
4. Prior Agreements
TeleCorp and Dowski hereby incorporate herein by reference sections 8, 9,
and 10 of the Employee Agreement by and between Dowski and TeleCorp PCS, Inc.,
dated July 17, 1998 as subsequently assigned to TeleCorp Communications, Inc.,

one of whom must be a director other than an officer. Any one or more directors,
even though not members of the Executive Committee, may attend any meeting of

other purposes as a member or members of the Committee.

ARTICLE V
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND OTHERS
SECTION 1. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 7018
of the New York Banking Law, indemnify any person who is or was made, or
threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether civil or
criminal, whether involving any actual or alleged breach of duty, neglect or
error, any accountability, or any actual or alleged misstatement, misleading
statement or other act or omission and whether brought or threatened in any
court or administrative or legislative body or agency, including an action by or
in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor and an action by
or in the right of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or
foreign, or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise, which any director or officer of the Company is servicing or
served in any capacity at the request of the Company by reason of the fact that
he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the Company,
or is serving or served such other corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity, against
judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, and costs, charges and expenses,
including attorneys' fees, or any appeal therein; provided, however, that no
indemnification shall be provided to any such person if a judgment or other
final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that (i) his
acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty and, in either case, were material to the cause of action so
adjudicated, or (ii) he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other
advantage to which he was not legally entitled.
SECTION 2. The Company may indemnify any other person to whom the Company is
permitted to provide indemnification or the advancement of expenses by
applicable law, whether pursuant to rights granted pursuant to, or provided by,
the New York Banking Law or other rights created by (i) a resolution of
stockholders, (ii) a resolution of directors, or (iii) an agreement providing
for such indemnification, it being expressly intended that these By-Laws
authorize the creation of other rights in any such manner.
SECTION 3. The Company shall, from time to time, reimburse or advance to any
person referred to in Section 1 the funds necessary for payment of expenses,
including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with any action or proceeding
referred to in Section 1, upon receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf
of such person to repay such amount(s) if a judgment or other final adjudication
adverse to the director or officer establishes that (i) his acts were committed
in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and, in
either case, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or (ii) he
personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was
not legally entitled.
SECTION 4. Any director or officer of the Company serving (i) another
corporation, of which a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election
of its directors is held by the Company, or (ii) any employee benefit plan of
the Company or any corporation referred to in clause (i) in any capacity shall
be deemed to be doing so at the request of the Company. In all other cases, the
provisions of this Article V will apply (i) only if the person serving another
corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise so served at the specific request of the Company, evidenced by
a written communication signed by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive
Officer
<PAGE>
or the President, and (ii) only if and to the extent that, after making such
efforts as the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the
President shall deem adequate in the circumstances, such person shall be unable
to obtain indemnification from such other enterprise or its insurer.
SECTION 5. Any person entitled to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or
advancement of expenses as a matter of right pursuant to this Article V may
elect to have the right to indemnification (or advancement of expenses)
interpreted on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time of
occurrence of the event or events giving rise to the action or proceeding, to
the extent permitted by law, or on the basis of the applicable law in effect at
the time indemnification is sought.
SECTION 6. The right to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or advancement
of expense pursuant to this Article V (i) is a contract right pursuant to which
the person entitled thereto may bring suit as if the provisions hereof were set
forth in a separate written contract between the Company and the director or
officer, (ii) is intended to be retroactive and shall be available with respect
to events occurring prior to the adoption hereof, and (iii) shall continue to
exist after the rescission or restrictive modification hereof with respect to
events occurring prior thereto.
SECTION 7. If a request to be indemnified or for the reimbursement or
advancement of expenses pursuant hereto is not paid in full by the Company
within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Company, the
claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover
the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the
claimant shall be entitled also to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such
claim. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination
prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of or
reimbursement or advancement of expenses to the claimant is proper in the
circumstance, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant is
not entitled to indemnification or to the reimbursement or advancement of
expenses, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the
claimant is not so entitled.
SECTION 8. A person who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the
defense of a civil or criminal action or proceeding of the character described
in Section 1 shall be entitled to indemnification only as provided in Sections 1
and 3, notwithstanding any provision of the New York Banking Law to the
contrary.
<PAGE>
ARTICLE VI

counterpart dies of which shall be in the charge of the Secretary of the Company
and such officers as the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or
the Secretary may from time to time direct in writing, to be affixed to
certificates of stock and other documents in accordance with the directions of
the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee.
SECTION 2. The Board of Directors may provide, in proper cases on a specified
occasion and for a specified transaction or transactions, for the use of a
printed or engraved facsimile seal of the Company.
ARTICLE VII

SECTION 1. Registration of transfer of shares shall only be made upon the books
of the Company by the registered holder in person, or by power of attorney, duly
executed, witnessed and filed with the Secretary or other proper officer of the
Company, on the surrender of the certificate or certificates of such shares
properly assigned for transfer.
