                                     PART II

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 20.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     The  Certificate  of  Incorporation  of Horizon PCS, Inc.  ("Horizon  PCS")
provides  that the  liability of the  directors of Horizon PCS to Horizon PCS or
any of its  stockholders  for  monetary  damages  arising from acts or omissions
occurring in their capacity as directors  shall be limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the laws of Delaware or any other  applicable  law. This limitation
does not apply with  respect  to any action in which a director  would be liable
under  Section 174 of the General  Corporation  Law of the State of Delaware nor
does it apply with respect to any liability in which a director:

     o    breached his duty of loyalty to Horizon PCS or its stockholders;

     o    did not act in good faith or, in  failing to act,  did not act in good
          faith;

     o    acted  in a  manner  involving  intentional  misconduct  or a  knowing
          violation  of law or, in failing to act,  shall have acted in a manner
          involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; or

     o    derived an improper personal benefit.

     Horizon PCS' Certificate of  Incorporation  provides that Horizon PCS shall
indemnify its directors,  officers and employees and former directors,  officers
and  employees  to the fullest  extent  permitted by the laws of Delaware or any
other  applicable law.  Pursuant to the provisions of Section 145 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, Horizon PCS has the power to 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  (other than an
action  by or in the right of  Horizon  PCS) by reason of the fact that he is or
was a director,  officer,  employee or agent of Horizon PCS, against any and all
expenses,   judgments,  fines  and  amounts  paid  in  settlement  actually  and
reasonably  incurred in connection  with such action,  suit or  proceeding.  The
power to  indemnify  applies  only if such  person  acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest,  or not opposed to the
best  interest,  of  Horizon  PCS and with  respect  to any  criminal  action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

     The power to  indemnify  applies to  actions  brought by or in the right of
Horizon PCS as well, but only to the extent or defense and  settlement  expenses
and not to any  satisfaction of a judgment or settlement of the claim itself and
with the further  limitation  that in such actions no  indemnification  shall be
made in the event of any  adjudication  of negligence  or misconduct  unless the
court,  in its  discretion,  believes  that in  light  of all the  circumstances
indemnification should apply.

     The  statute  further   specifically   provides  that  the  indemnification
authorized  thereby  shall not be deemed  exclusive of any other rights to which
any such officer or director may be entitled under any bylaws, agreements,  vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

     Horizon  PCS  intends  has  acquired  directors'  and  officers'  liability
insurance covering its directors and officers.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be  permitted  to  directors,  officers or persons  controlling  Horizon PCS
pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  Horizon PCS has been advised that in the
opinion of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  such  indemnification  is
against  public  policy as  expressed  in the  Securities  Act and is  therefore
unenforceable.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS

     1. Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be  permitted to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons of the
registrant pursuant to 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 Securities 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 person 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

     2. 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.

     The registrant  undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant
to the  immediately  preceding  paragraph,  or (ii)  that  purports  to meet the
requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and is used in connection
with an offering of  securities  subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a 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, each such post-effective  amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration  statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such  securities  at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

     3. The undersigned  registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for
information  that is incorporated  by reference into the prospectus  pursuant to
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.

     4. The undersigned hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective
amendment  all  information  concerning  a  transaction,  and the company  being
acquired  involved  therein,  that was not the  subject of and  included in this
registration statement when it became effective.
