Shareholders") of Western Wireless  Corporation,  a Washington  corporation (the
"Company"),  propose, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to sell
to the Underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the "Underwriters") an aggregate
of  10,450,000   shares  (the  "Firm  Shares")  and,  at  the  election  of  the
Underwriters, up to 1,567,500 additional shares (the "Optional Shares") of Class
A Common  Stock,  no par value per share  ("Stock"),  of the  Company  (the Firm
Shares and the Optional Shares that the Underwriters  elect to purchase pursuant
to Section 2 hereof are herein collectively called the "Shares").

     It is  understood  and agreed to by all  parties  that the  Company and the
Selling   Shareholders  are   concurrently   entering  into  an  agreement  (the
"International  Underwriting  Agreement")  providing for the sale by the Selling
Shareholders of up to a total of 1,897,500  shares of Stock (the  "International
Shares"),  including the overallotment  option thereunder,  through arrangements
with  certain   underwriters  outside  the  United  States  (the  "International
Underwriters"),  for  whom  Goldman  Sachs  International,  Donaldson,  Lufkin &
Jenrette  International,  Merrill Lynch  International  and Salomon Smith Barney
International  are acting as lead  managers.  Anything  herein or therein to the
contrary  notwithstanding,  the respective closings under this Agreement and the
International  Underwriting  Agreement are hereby  expressly made conditional on
one another. The Underwriters  hereunder and the International  Underwriters are
simultaneously  entering  into  an  Agreement  between  U.S.  and  International
Underwriting  Syndicates (the "Agreement  between  Syndicates")  which provides,
among  other  things,  for the  transfer  of  shares  of Stock  between  the two
syndicates.  Two  forms  of  prospectus  are to be used in  connection  with the
offering and sale of shares of Stock contemplated by the foregoing, one relating
to the Shares hereunder and the other relating to the International  Shares. The
latter form of prospectus will be identical to the former except

herein, and except as the context may otherwise require,  references hereinafter
to the Shares shall  include all the shares of Stock which may be sold  pursuant
to either  this  Agreement  or the  International  Underwriting  Agreement,  and

     to  which it is a party  or by  which  it or any of its  properties  may be
     bound,  except,  in  the  case  of  this  clause  (b),  for  defaults  that
     individually or in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect;

        (xi) The  statements  set  forth in the  Prospectus  under  the  caption
     "Description  of Capital  Stock,"  insofar as they purport to  constitute a
     summary of the terms of the Stock and the Class B Common  Stock,  and under
     the captions "Underwriting," "Risk  Factors--Competition,"  "--Intellectual
     Property  and  Branding,"  "--Governmental   Regulation,"  "Description  of

     "Business--Governmental Regulation" insofar as they purport to describe the
     provisions of the laws and documents to which the Company or any subsidiary
     is a party  referred  to therein  are  accurate,  complete  and fair in all
     material respects;

        (xii) Other than as set forth or contemplated  in the Prospectus,  there
     are no legal or  governmental  proceedings  pending to which the Company or

     the  Company  or any  of its  subsidiaries,  would  individually  or in the
     aggregate  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  current  or  future
     consolidated  financial  position,   shareholders'  equity  or  results  of
     operations of the Company and its  subsidiaries  taken as a whole;  and, to
     the best of the Company's knowledge,  no such proceedings are threatened or
     contemplated by governmental authorities or threatened by others;

        (xiii) The Company is not and,  after giving  effect to the offering and
     sale of the  Shares,  will  not be an  "investment  company"  or an  entity
     "controlled"  by an "investment  company," as such terms are defined in the
     Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act");

     the Company and its subsidiaries  have such  certificates of convenience or
     necessity, easements,  rights-of-way,  operating rights, permits, licenses,
     franchises and  authorizations  of governmental  or regulatory  authorities
     ("Permits"),   including  Permits  issued  by  the  Federal  Communications
     Commission (the "FCC"), as are necessary to own their respective properties
     and to conduct  their  respective  businesses  substantially  in the manner
     described  in the  Prospectus,  except for any such  Permits the absence of
     which could not  reasonably  be  expected  to result in a Material  Adverse
     Effect;  the Company and its subsidiaries have fulfilled all their material
     obligations  with respect to such  Permits and no event has occurred  which
     allows  (or  after  notice  or lapse of time  would  allow)  revocation  or
     termination  thereof  or results in any other  material  impairment  of the
     rights  of the  holder  of any  such  Permit,  in  each  case  which  could
     reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;  and, except
     as  described  in  the  Prospectus,  none  of  such  Permits  contains  any
     restriction  that is burdensome to the Company or any of its  subsidiaries,
     except for  restrictions  that could not  reasonably  be expected to have a
     Material Adverse Effect; and

        (xvi) Except as otherwise  disclosed or  contemplated by the Prospectus,
     the Company and its subsidiaries  own or possess all trademarks,  trademark
     registrations,  service  marks,  service mark  registrations,  trade names,
     licenses  relating  to  intellectual  property,  trade  secrets  and rights
     ("Intellectual  Property")  described in the  Prospectus  as being owned or
     possessed by them or any of them, and the Company is not aware of any claim
     to the  contrary or any  challenge by any other person to the rights of the
     Company or any of its  subsidiaries  with respect to the  foregoing,  which
     claim or challenge could  reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
     Effect.

     subject  to  the   interests  of  the   Underwriters   hereunder   and  the
     International  Underwriters under the International Underwriting Agreement;
     the arrangements made by such Selling Shareholder for such custody, and the
     appointment  by such Selling  Shareholder of the  Attorneys-in-Fact  by the
     Custody  Agreement and Power of Attorney,  to the extent set forth therein,
     and to the extent  enforceable by law, are irrevocable;  the obligations of
     the Selling Shareholders  hereunder shall not be terminated by operation of
     law,  whether  by  the  death  or  incapacity  of  any  individual  Selling
     Shareholder  or,  in the  case of an  estate  or  trust,  by the  death  or
     incapacity of any executor or trustee or the  termination of such estate or
     trust, or in the case of a partnership or  corporation,  by the dissolution
     of such  partnership  or  corporation,  or by the  occurrence  of any other
     event;  if any  individual  Selling  Shareholder  or any such  executor  or
     trustee should die or become incapacitated,  or if any such estate or trust
     should be terminated,  or if any such partnership or corporation  should be
     dissolved,  or if any other such event should occur, before the delivery of
     the  Shares  hereunder,  certificates  representing  the  Shares  shall  be
     delivered by or on behalf of the Selling  Shareholders  in accordance  with
     the  terms  and  conditions  of  this  Agreement,   of  the   International
     Underwriting  Agreement and of the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney;
     and  actions  taken  by  the  Attorneys-in-Fact  pursuant  to  the  Custody
     Agreement  and  Power of  Attorney  shall  be as  valid  as if such  death,
     incapacity,  termination,  dissolution  or other  event  had not  occurred,
     regardless of whether or not a Custodian, the Attorneys-in-Fact,  or any of
     them,  shall have received notice of such death,  incapacity,  termination,
     dissolution or other event.

     2. Subject to the terms and  conditions  herein set forth,  (a) each of the
Selling Shareholders  agrees,  severally and not jointly, to sell to each of the
Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to
purchase from each of the Selling Shareholders, at a purchase price per share of
$18.72,  the number of Firm  Shares (to be  adjusted  by you so as to  eliminate
fractional shares) determined by multiplying the aggregate number of Firm Shares
to be sold by each of the  Selling  Shareholders  as set  forth  opposite  their
respective names in Schedule II hereto by a fraction,  the numerator of which is
the aggregate  number of Firm Shares to be purchased by such  Underwriter as set
forth  opposite  the name of such  Underwriter  in  Schedule  I  hereto  and the
denominator  of which is the aggregate  number of Firm Shares to be purchased by
all of the Underwriters from all of the Selling  Shareholders  hereunder and (b)
in the event and to the extent that the Underwriters

                                        9



<PAGE>



shall exercise the election to purchase  Optional Shares as provided below, each
of the Selling Shareholders  agrees,  severally and not jointly, to sell to each
of the  Underwriters,  and each of the  Underwriters  agrees,  severally and not
jointly,  to purchase  from each of the Selling  Shareholders,  at the  purchase
price per share set forth in clause (a) of this  Section 2, that  portion of the
number of Optional  Shares as to which such election  shall have been  exercised
(to be adjusted  by you so as to  eliminate  fractional  shares)  determined  by
multiplying such number of Optional Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the maximum number of Optional  Shares which such  Underwriter is entitled to
purchase as set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto
and the  denominator of which is the maximum number of Optional  Shares that all
of the Underwriters are entitled to purchase hereunder.

     The Selling  Shareholders,  as and to the extent  indicated  in Schedule II
hereto,  hereby grant,  severally and not jointly, to the Underwriters the right

price per  share  set forth in the  paragraph  above,  for the sole  purpose  of
covering  overallotments  in the sale of the Firm Shares.  Any such  election to
purchase  Optional  Shares shall be made in proportion to the number of Optional
Shares to be sold by each  Selling  Shareholder.  Any such  election to purchase
Optional   Shares  may  be  exercised   by  written   notice  from  you  to  the
Attorneys-in-Fact,  given within a period of 30 calendar  days after the date of
this Agreement and setting forth the aggregate  number of Optional  Shares to be
purchased  and the date on which such Optional  Shares are to be  delivered,  as
determined  by you but in no event  earlier  than the First Time of Delivery (as
defined in Section 4 hereof) or, unless you and the Attorneys-in-Fact  otherwise
agree in writing,  earlier  than two or later than ten  business  days after the
date of such notice.

     3. Upon the  authorization  by you of the release of the Firm  Shares,  the
several  Underwriters  propose to offer the Firm  Shares for sale upon the terms
and conditions set forth in the Prospectus.

     4.  (a) The  Shares  to be  purchased  by each  Underwriter  hereunder,  in

notice to the Selling  Shareholders,  shall be  delivered by or on behalf of the
Selling  Shareholders  to Goldman,  Sachs & Co.,  through the  facilities of The
Depository  Trust Company ("DTC") for the account of such  Underwriter,  against
payment by or on behalf of such  Underwriter  of the purchase  price therefor by
wire transfer of Federal  (same-day)  funds to the account  specified by each of
the Selling Shareholders, as their interests may appear, to Goldman, Sachs & Co.
at least forty-eight  hours in advance.  The Company will cause the certificates
representing the Shares to be made available for checking and packaging at least

by Goldman,  Sachs & Co. of the Underwriters' election to purchase such Optional
Shares,  or such other  time and date as  Goldman,  Sachs & Co. and the  Selling
Shareholders  may agree upon in writing.  Such time and date for delivery of the
Firm Shares is herein  called the "First Time of  Delivery,"  such time and date
for  delivery of the  Optional  Shares,  if not the First Time of  Delivery,  is
herein called the

                                       10

      business   so  as  to  require   such   qualification,   other  than  such
      jurisdictions  in which the failure to be so qualified would not result in

      pending to which the Company or any of its  subsidiaries  is a party or of
      which  any  property  of the  Company  or any of its  subsidiaries  is the

      provisions  of, or constitute a default under,  any  indenture,  mortgage,
      deed of trust, loan agreement, shareholders agreement, registration rights
      agreement or other material  agreement or instrument known to such counsel
      to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the
      Company  or  any of its  subsidiaries  is  bound  or to  which  any of the
      property or assets of the Company or any of its  subsidiaries  is subject,
      nor will such action  result in any  violation  of the  provisions  of the
      Articles of  Incorporation or By-laws of the Company or any statute or any
      order,  rule  or  regulation  known  to  such  counsel  of  any  court  or

      qualification  of or with any court or governmental  agency or body having
      jurisdiction  over the Company or any of its subsidiaries and, in the case
      of any court,  known to such counsel is required (y) by the Company or, to
      the knowledge of such counsel, by the Selling Shareholders for sale of the
      Shares or (z) for the  consummation  by the  Company  of the  transactions
      contemplated  by  this  Agreement  and  the   International   Underwriting
      Agreement,  except the registration  under the Act of the Shares, and such

      of any material obligation,  agreement, covenant or condition contained in
      any  indenture,   mortgage,   deed  of  trust,   loan  agreement,   lease,
      shareholders  agreement,  registration rights agreement or other agreement
      or  instrument,  which  such  agreement  or  instrument  is  known to such
      counsel,  to which  it is a party or by which it or any of its  properties
      may be bound,  except,  in the case of this clause (b), for defaults  that
      individually or in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect;

          (x) The  statements  set forth in the  Prospectus  under  the  caption

          (xii) The documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or any
      further  amendment or supplement  thereto made by the Company prior to the
      Time  of  Delivery  (other  than  the  financial  statements  and  related

      the Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable,  and the rules and regulations
      of the Commission  thereunder;  and nothing has come to their attention to
      cause  them to believe  that any of such  documents,  when such  documents

      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,  or, in the case of other documents which were filed under

      other  financial  data  therein,  as to which such counsel need express no
      opinion) comply as to form in all material  respects with the requirements

      attention that would cause them to believe that, as of its effective date,
      the Registration  Statement or any further  amendment  thereto made by the
      Company  prior  to  such  Time  of  Delivery  (other  than  the  financial
      statements and related  schedules or other  financial data therein,  as to

      a material  fact or omits to state a material  fact  necessary to make the
      statements  therein,  in the light of the  circumstances  under which they
      were made,  not  misleading;  and they do not know of any amendment to the
      Registration  Statement  required to be filed or of any contracts or other
      documents  of a  character  required  to be  filed  as an  exhibit  to the

          (ii) This Agreement and the International  Underwriting Agreement have
     been  duly  executed  and  delivered  by  or  on  behalf  of  such  Selling
     Shareholder;  and the  sale  of the  Shares  to be  sold  by  such  Selling
     Shareholder  hereunder and  thereunder  and the  compliance by such Selling
     Shareholder   with  all  of  the  provisions  of  this  Agreement  and  the
     International Underwriting Agreement and the Custody Agreement and Power of
     Attorney  and the  consummation  of the  transactions  herein  and  therein
     contemplated  will not conflict  with or result in a breach or violation of
     any terms or provisions of, or constitute a default  under,  any indenture,
     mortgage,  deed of trust,  loan  agreement or other  material  agreement or
     instrument  known to such  counsel to which such Selling  Shareholder  is a
     party or by which such Selling Shareholder is bound, or to which any of the
     property or assets of such Selling  Shareholder  is subject,  nor will such
     action  result  in any  violation  of the  provisions  of the  Articles  or
     Certificate  of  Incorporation,  as the case  may be,  or  By-laws  of such
     Selling  Shareholder  if such Selling  Shareholder  is a  corporation,  the
     partnership   agreement  of  such  Selling   Shareholder  if  such  Selling
     Shareholder is a partnership or any order, rule or regulation known to such
     counsel of any court or  governmental  agency or body  having  jurisdiction
     over such Selling Shareholder or the property of such Selling Shareholder;

          (iii) No consent,  approval,  authorization,  order,  registration  or
     qualification  of or with  any  court  or  governmental  agency  or body is
     required for the sale of the Shares or the consummation of the transactions
     contemplated by this Agreement and the International Underwriting Agreement
     in  connection  with  the  Shares  to be sold by such  Selling  Shareholder
     hereunder or  thereunder,  except which have been duly  obtained and are in
     full force and effect, such as have been obtained under the Act and such as
     may be  required  under  state or  foreign  securities  or Blue Sky laws in
     connection  with  the  purchase  and  distribution  of such  Shares  by the
     Underwriters and the International Underwriters;

          (iv)  Immediately   prior  to  such  Time  of  Delivery  such  Selling
     Shareholder  had  valid  title  to the  Shares  to be sold at such  Time of
     Delivery  by  such  Selling   Shareholder  under  this  Agreement  and  the
     International   Underwriting  Agreement,  free  and  clear  of  all  liens,
     encumbrances,  equities or claims,  and full right,  power and authority to
     sell,  assign,  transfer  and deliver the Shares to be sold by such Selling
     Shareholder hereunder and thereunder; and

          (v)  Valid  title  to  such  Shares,  free  and  clear  of all  liens,
     encumbrances,  equities  or  claims,  has been  transferred  to each of the
     several Underwriters or International Underwriters, as the case may be.

     In  rendering  such  opinion,  such  counsel may state that they express no
opinion as to the laws of any  jurisdiction  outside  the  United  States and in
rendering the opinion in subparagraph  (iv) and (v) such counsel may rely upon a
certificate  of such  Selling  Shareholder  in  respect of matters of fact as to
ownership of, and liens, encumbrances,  equities or claims on the Shares sold by
such  Selling  Shareholder,  provided  that such  counsel  shall state that they
believe that both you and they are justified in relying upon such certificate;

     (g) On the date of the  Prospectus at a time prior to the execution of this
Agreement,  at 9:30  a.m.,  New York City  time,  on the  effective  date of any
post-effective  amendment to the Registration  Statement filed subsequent to the
date of this  Agreement and also at each Time of Delivery,  Arthur  Andersen LLP
shall have furnished to you a letter or letters,  dated the respective  dates of
delivery thereof,  in form and substance  satisfactory to you, to the effect set
forth in Annex I hereto (the executed copy of the letter  delivered prior to the
execution of this  Agreement is attached as Annex I(a) hereto and a draft of the
form of letter  to be  delivered  on the  effective  date of any  post-effective
amendment  to the  Registration  Statement  and as of each Time of  Delivery  is
attached as Annex I(b) hereto);

     (h)(i) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall have sustained
since  the  date  of  the  latest  audited  financial   statements  included  or
incorporated  by reference in the Prospectus any loss or  interference  with its
business from fire, explosion,  flood or other calamity,  whether or not covered
by insurance,  or from any labor dispute or court or governmental  action, order
or decree,  otherwise than as set forth or contemplated  in the Prospectus,  and
(ii)  since  the  respective  dates  as of  which  information  is  given in the
Prospectus  there  shall  not  have  been  any  change  in  the  capital  stock,
partnership  interests,  short-term debt or long-term debt of the Company or any
of its  subsidiaries or any change,  or any development  involving a prospective
change,  in or affecting the general affairs,  management,  financial  position,
shareholders'   equity  or  results  of   operations  of  the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus, the
effect of which,  in any such case  described  in Clause (i) or (ii),  is in the
judgment  of  the  Representatives  so  material  and  adverse  as  to  make  it
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery
of the Shares  being  delivered at such Time of Delivery on the terms and in the
manner contemplated in the Prospectus;

     (i) On or after the date hereof (i) no  downgrading  shall have occurred in
the rating  according the Company's debt securities by any "national  recognized
statistical rating organization",  as that term is defined by the Commission for
purposes of Rule 436(g)(2)  under the Act, and (ii) no such  organization  shall
have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review,  with possible
negative implications, its rating of any of the Company's debt securities.

     (j) On or after the date hereof  there shall not have  occurred  any of the
following:  (i) a suspension  or material  limitation  in trading in  securities
generally  on the New York Stock  Exchange or on NASDAQ;  (ii) a  suspension  or
material  limitation in trading in the Company's  securities on NASDAQ;  (iii) a
general moratorium on commercial  banking activities  declared by either Federal
or New York or Washington State authorities;  or (iv) the outbreak or escalation
of  hostilities  involving  the United States or the  declaration  by the United
States of a national emergency or war, if the effect of any such event specified
in  this  Clause  (iv)  in  the  judgment  of  the   Representatives   makes  it
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery
of the Shares  being  delivered at such Time of Delivery on the terms and in the
manner contemplated in the Prospectus;

     (k) The  Shares  to be  sold by the  Selling  Shareholders  at the  Time of
Delivery shall have been duly listed for quotation on NASDAQ;

                                       20

     (l) The Company has obtained and  delivered  to the  Underwriters  executed
copies of an  agreement  from each of the  shareholders  listed on Schedule  III
substantially  to the effect set forth in  Section  1(b)(iv)  hereof in form and
substance satisfactory to you;

     (m) The Company  shall have  complied  with the  provisions of Section 5(c)
hereof with respect to the furnishing of  prospectuses  on the New York Business
Day next succeeding the date of this Agreement; and

     (n) The Company and each of the Selling  Shareholders  shall have furnished
or  caused  to be  furnished  to you at such Time of  Delivery  certificates  of
officers  of  the  Company  and  of  the  Selling  Shareholders,   respectively,
satisfactory to you as to the accuracy of the  representations and warranties of
the Company and each of the Selling Shareholders, respectively, herein at and as
of such Time of Delivery,  as to the  performance by the Company and each of the
Selling  Shareholders  of all of their  respective  obligations  hereunder to be
performed at or prior to such Time of Delivery,  and as to such other matters as
you may reasonably request, and the Company shall have furnished or caused to be
furnished certificates as to the matters set forth in subsections (a) and (h) of
this Section, and as to such other matters as you may reasonably request.

     8. (a) The  Company  will  indemnify  and hold  harmless  each  Underwriter
against any losses, claims,  damages or liabilities,  joint or several, to which
such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based  upon an untrue  statement  or  alleged  untrue  statement  of a
material  fact  contained  in  any  Preliminary  Prospectus,   the  Registration
Statement or the Prospectus,  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,  and will reimburse each  Underwriter  for any legal or
other  expenses  reasonably  incurred by such  Underwriter  in  connection  with
investigating  or  defending  any such  action  or claim  as such  expenses  are
incurred;  provided,  however,  that the Company shall not be liable in any such
case to the extent that any such loss, claim,  damage or liability arises out of
or is based upon an untrue  statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus,  the Registration Statement
or the  Prospectus  or any such  amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information  furnished to the Company by any Underwriter
through Goldman, Sachs & Co. expressly for use therein.

     (b)  Each  of the  Selling  Shareholders  severally  and not  jointly  will
indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities,  joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject,
under  the  Act or  otherwise,  insofar  as  such  losses,  claims,  damages  or
liabilities  (or actions in respect  thereof)  arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Preliminary  Prospectus,  the Registration  Statement or the Prospectus,  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, in each case
to the extent,  but only to the extent,  that such untrue  statement  or alleged
untrue  statement or omission or alleged  omission  was made in any  Preliminary
Prospectus,  the Registration  Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment
or  supplement  in reliance  upon and in  conformity  with  written  information
furnished to the Company by such Selling Shareholder  expressly for use therein;
and will reimburse each

                                       21



<PAGE>



Underwriter  for  any  legal  or  other  expenses  reasonably  incurred  by such
Underwriter  in connection  with  investigating  or defending any such action or
claim as such  expenses  are  incurred;  provided,  however,  that such  Selling
Shareholder  shall not be liable  in any such case to the  extent  that any such
loss,  claim,  damage  or  liability  arises  out of or is based  upon an untrue
statement or alleged  untrue  statement or omission or alleged  omission made in
any Preliminary Prospectus,  the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any
such  amendment or supplement  in reliance  upon and in conformity  with written
information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through Goldman, Sachs &
Co.  expressly  for use  therein;  provided,  further,  that the  liability of a
Selling Shareholder pursuant to this subsection (b) shall not exceed the product
of the number of Shares sold by such Selling Shareholder and the public offering
price of the Shares as set forth in the Prospectus.

     (c) Each  Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each
Selling Shareholder against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several,  to which the Company or such Selling  Shareholder  may become subject,
under  the  Act or  otherwise,  insofar  as  such  losses,  claims,  damages  or
liabilities  (or actions in respect  thereof)  arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Preliminary  Prospectus,  the Registration  Statement or the Prospectus,  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, in each case
to the extent,  but only to the extent,  that such untrue  statement  or alleged
untrue  statement or omission or alleged  omission  was made in any  Preliminary
Prospectus,  the Registration  Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment
or  supplement  in reliance  upon and in  conformity  with  written  information
furnished  to the  Company  by such  Underwriter  through  Goldman,  Sachs & Co.
expressly  for use  therein;  and will  reimburse  the Company and each  Selling
Shareholder for any legal or other expenses  reasonably  incurred by the Company
or such Selling  Shareholder in connection with  investigating  or defending any
such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

     (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified  party under  subsection  (a),
(b) or (c) above of notice of the  commencement of any action,  such indemnified
party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying
party under such  subsection,  notify the  indemnifying  party in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall
not relieve it from any  liability  which it may have to any  indemnified  party
otherwise than under such  subsection.  In case any such action shall be brought
against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying  party of the
commencement  thereof,  the indemnifying  party shall be entitled to participate
therein  and,  to the  extent  that  it  shall  wish,  jointly  with  any  other
indemnifying  party  similarly  notified,  to assume the defense  thereof,  with
counsel  satisfactory to such indemnified  party (who shall not, except with the
consent of the indemnified  party, be counsel to the indemnifying  party),  and,
after  notice  from  the  indemnifying  party to such  indemnified  party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof,  the indemnifying  party shall not be
liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of
other counsel or any other expenses,  in each case subsequently incurred by such
indemnified  party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent
of the indemnified party,  effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to
the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or  threatened  action or
claim  in  respect  of  which  indemnification  or  contribution  may be  sought
hereunder  (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party
to such action or claim) unless such

                                       22



<PAGE>



settlement,  compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the
indemnified  party from all  liability  arising  out of such action or claim and
(ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or
a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

     (e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to
or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified  party under subsection (a), (b)
or (c) above in respect  of any  losses,  claims,  damages  or  liabilities  (or
actions in respect thereof) referred to therein,  then each  indemnifying  party
shall  contribute to the amount paid or payable by such  indemnified  party as a
result of such losses,  claims,  damages or  liabilities  (or actions in respect
thereof) in such  proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative  benefits
received by the Company  and the  Selling  Shareholders  on the one hand and the
Underwriters  on the other from the  offering of the Shares.  If,  however,  the
allocation  provided by the immediately  preceding  sentence is not permitted by
applicable law or if the  indemnified  party failed to give the notice  required
under  subsection (d) above,  then each  indemnifying  party shall contribute to
such amount paid or payable by such  indemnified  party in such proportion as is
appropriate  to reflect not only such  relative  benefits  but also the relative
fault  of the  Company  and the  Selling  Shareholders  on the one  hand and the
Underwriters  on the other in connection  with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses,  claims,  damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations  (including any
material  prejudice  as a result of any  failure to give  notice as  required by
subsection  (d) above).  The relative  benefits  received by the Company and the
Selling  Shareholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be
deemed to be in the same  proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering
of the  Shares  purchased  under  this  Agreement  (before  deducting  expenses)
received by the Company and the Selling  Shareholders in the underwritten public
offering bear to the total  underwriting  discounts and commissions  received by
the Underwriters  with respect to the Shares purchased under this Agreement,  in
each case as set forth in the table on the  cover  page of the  Prospectus.  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 information supplied by the
Company or the Selling  Shareholders on the one hand or the  Underwriters on the
other and the parties'  relative  intent,  knowledge,  access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The Company, each
of the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just
and equitable if  contributions  pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined
by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters  were treated as one entity for
such purpose) or by any other method of  allocation  which does not take account
of the equitable  considerations  referred to above in this  subsection (e). The
amount  paid or  payable  by an  indemnified  party as a result  of the  losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above
in this  subsection  (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other  expenses
reasonably  incurred by such indemnified party in connection with  investigating
or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions of this
subsection  (e), no  Underwriter  shall be required to contribute  any amount in
excess of the amount by which the total  price at which the Shares  underwritten
by it and  distributed  to the public  were  offered to the public  exceeds  the
amount of any damages which such  Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay
by reason of such  untrue or alleged  untrue  statement  or  omission or alleged
omission and no Selling  Shareholder  shall be required to contribute any amount
in  excess  of the  product  of the  number  of  Shares  sold  by  such  Selling
Shareholder  and the  public  offering  price of the  Shares as set forth in the
Prospectus. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the

                                       23



<PAGE>



Act) shall be  entitled  to  contribution  from any person who was not guilty of
such  fraudulent  misrepresentation.   The  Underwriters'  obligations  in  this
subsection  (e) to  contribute  are several in  proportion  to their  respective
underwriting obligations and not joint.

     (f) The obligations of the Company and the Selling  Shareholders under this
Section  8 shall be in  addition  to any  liability  which the  Company  and the
respective  Selling  Shareholders may otherwise have and shall extend,  upon the
same terms and conditions,  to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter
within the meaning of the Act; and the  obligations  of the  Underwriters  under
this  Section 8 shall be in  addition  to any  liability  which  the  respective
Underwriters  may  otherwise  have and  shall  extend,  upon the same  terms and
conditions,  to each officer and director of the Company and to each person,  if
any, who controls the Company or any Selling  Shareholder  within the meaning of
the Act.

     9. (a) If any  Underwriter  shall default in its obligation to purchase the
Shares which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of Delivery,  you may
in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase
such Shares on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such
default by any  Underwriter  you do not arrange for the purchase of such Shares,
then  the  Selling  Shareholders  shall  be  entitled  to a  further  period  of
thirty-six  hours  within  which to  procure  another  party  or  other  parties
satisfactory  to you to purchase  such Shares on such terms.  In the event that,
within the respective  prescribed periods,  you notify the Selling  Shareholders
that you have so  arranged  for the  purchase  of such  Shares,  or the  Selling
Shareholders  notify you that they have so  arranged  for the  purchase  of such
Shares,  you or the Selling  Shareholders  shall have the right to postpone such
Time of Delivery  for a period of not more than seven  days,  in order to effect
whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration  Statement or
the  Prospectus,  or in any other  documents  or  arrangements,  and the Company
agrees to file  promptly any  amendments  to the  Registration  Statement or the
Prospectus  which  in your  opinion  may  thereby  be made  necessary.  The term
"Underwriter"  as used in this  Agreement  shall include any person  substituted
under this  Section  with like  effect as if such person had  originally  been a
party to this Agreement with respect to such Shares.

     (b) If, after  giving  effect to any  arrangements  for the purchase of the
Shares  of a  defaulting  Underwriter  or  Underwriters  by you and the  Selling
Shareholders as provided in subsection (a) above,  the aggregate  number of such
Shares which remains  unpurchased does not exceed  one-eleventh of the aggregate
number of all the  Shares to be  purchased  at such Time of  Delivery,  then the
Selling  Shareholders  shall  have the  right  to  require  each  non-defaulting
Underwriter  to purchase the number of Shares which such  Underwriter  agreed to
purchase  hereunder at such Time of Delivery  and, in addition,  to require each
non-defaulting  Underwriter  to purchase its pro rata share (based on the number
of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase  hereunder) of the Shares of
such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not
been made;  but nothing  herein  shall  relieve a  defaulting  Underwriter  from
liability for its default.

     (c) If, after  giving  effect to any  arrangements  for the purchase of the
Shares  of a  defaulting  Underwriter  or  Underwriters  by you and the  Selling
Shareholders as provided in subsection (a) above,  the aggregate  number of such
Shares which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate number of
all the  Shares to be  purchased  at such Time of  Delivery,  or if the  Selling
Shareholders  shall not exercise the right  described in subsection (b) above to
require   non-defaulting   Underwriters  to  purchase  Shares  of  a  defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement (or, with respect to the Second
Time of

                                       24



<PAGE>



Delivery,  the  obligations of the  Underwriters  to purchase and of the Selling
Shareholders  to sell the Optional  Shares) shall thereupon  terminate,  without
liability on the part of any  non-defaulting  Underwriter  or the Company or the
Selling Shareholders, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the
Selling  Shareholders  and the  Underwriters as provided in Section 6 hereof and
the  indemnity  and  contribution  agreements  in Section 8 hereof;  but nothing
herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

     10. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and
other  statements  of the  Company,  the  Selling  Shareholders  and the several
Underwriters,  as set forth in this  Agreement  or made by or on behalf of them,
respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect,
regardless of any  investigation  (or any  statement as to the results  thereof)
made  by or on  behalf  of any  Underwriter  or any  controlling  person  of any
Underwriter, or the Company, or any of the Selling Shareholders,  or any officer
or director or controlling  person of the Company,  or any controlling person of
any  Selling  Shareholder,  and shall  survive  delivery  of and payment for the
Shares.

     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the indemnity agreement of
the  Company in  subsection  (a) of Section 8 hereof,  the  representations  and
warranties in subsections  (a)(ii),  (a)(iii) or (a)(iv) of Section 1 hereof and
any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the Registration  Statement
or the Prospectus contained in any certificate furnished by the Company pursuant
to Section 7 hereof,  insofar as they may constitute a basis for indemnification
for liabilities  (other than payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid
in the successful defense of any action,  suit or proceeding)  arising under the
Act,  shall not extend to the extent of any  interest  therein of a  controlling
person or partner of an  Underwriter  who is a director,  officer or controlling
person of the Company when the  Registration  Statement has become  effective or
who, with his or her consent, is named in the Registration Statement as about to
become a director  of the  Company,  except in each case to the  extent  that an
interest of such character  shall have been determined by a court of appropriate
jurisdiction as not against public policy as expressed in the Act. Unless in the
opinion of counsel for the Company  the matter has been  settled by  controlling
precedent,  the Company will, if a claim for such  indemnification  is asserted,
submit to a court of  appropriate  jurisdiction  the  question  of  whether  the
extension  of the  indemnification  by the  Company to such  interest is against
public  policy  as  expressed  in the Act  and  will be  governed  by the  final
adjudication of such issue.

     11. If this  Agreement  shall be  terminated  pursuant to Section 9 hereof,
neither  the  Company  nor the  Selling  Shareholders  shall  then be under  any
liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 6 and 8 hereof; but,
if for any other  reason  any Shares  are not  delivered  by or on behalf of the
Selling  Shareholders  as  provided  herein,  the  Company  will  reimburse  the
Underwriters  through you for all out-of-pocket  expenses approved in writing by
you,  including fees and  disbursements of counsel,  reasonably  incurred by the
Underwriters in making  preparations for the purchase,  sale and delivery of the
Shares not so delivered, but the Company and the Selling Shareholders shall then
be under no further liability to any Underwriter in respect of the Shares not so
delivered except as provided in Sections 6 and 8 hereof.

     12.  In all  dealings  hereunder,  you  shall  act on behalf of each of the
Underwriters,  and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any
statement,  request,  notice or agreement on behalf of any  Underwriter  made or
given  by you  jointly  or by  Goldman,  Sachs  & Co.  on  behalf  of you as the
representatives; and in all dealings with any Selling Shareholder

                                       25



<PAGE>



hereunder,  you and the  Company  shall be  entitled  to act and  rely  upon any
statement,  request,  notice or agreement on behalf of such Selling  Shareholder
made  or  given  by  any  or  all of  the  Attorneys-in-Fact  for  such  Selling
Shareholder.

     All  statements,  requests,  notices and agreements  hereunder  shall be in
writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or
facsimile transmission to you as the representatives in care of Goldman, Sachs &
Co.,  85 Broad  Street,  New  York,  New  York  10004,  Attention:  Registration
Department;  if to any Selling  Shareholder  shall be delivered or sent by mail,
telex or facsimile  transmission to counsel for such Selling  Shareholder at its
address  set  forth  in  Schedule  II  hereto;  and if to the  Company  shall be

    Pursuant to Section  7(g) of the  Underwriting  Agreement,  the  accountants
shall furnish letters to the Underwriters to the effect that:

    (i) They are independent  certified  public  accountants with respect to the
Company and its  subsidiaries  within the meaning of the Act and the  applicable
published rules and regulations thereunder;

    (ii) In  their  opinion,  the  financial  statements  and any  supplementary
financial  information  and schedules (and, if applicable,  financial  forecasts
and/or  pro  forma  financial  information)  examined  by them and  included  or
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus comply
as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting  requirements
of the Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable,  and the related  published rules
and  regulations  thereunder;  and,  if  applicable,  they have made a review in
accordance  with standards  established  by the American  Institute of Certified
Public Accountants of the consolidated  interim financial  statements,  selected
financial  data, pro forma financial  information,  financial  forecasts  and/or
condensed financial  statements derived from audited financial statements of the
Company for the periods  specified in such letter, as indicated in their reports
thereon,  copies of which have been separately  furnished to the representatives
of the Underwriters (the "Representatives");

    (iii) They have made a review in accordance  with  standards  established by
the  American  Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants  of  the  unaudited
condensed  consolidated  statements of income,  consolidated  balance sheets and
consolidated statements of cash flows included in the Prospectus and/or included
in the Company's  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q  incorporated by reference into
the  Prospectus as indicated in their reports  thereon copies of which have been
separately  furnished  to the  Representatives;  and on the  basis of  specified
procedures   including   inquiries   of   officials  of  the  Company  who  have
responsibility  for  financial  and  accounting  matters  regarding  whether the
unaudited condensed  consolidated  financial statements referred to in paragraph
(vi)(A)(i) below comply as to form in all material  respects with the applicable
accounting  requirements  of the  Act  and the  Exchange  Act  and  the  related
published  rules and  regulations,  nothing came to their  attention that caused
them to believe that the unaudited condensed  consolidated  financial statements
do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting
requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and the related published rules and
regulations;

    (iv) The  unaudited  selected  financial  information  with  respect  to the
consolidated results of operations and financial position of the Company for the
five most  recent  fiscal  years  included  in the  Prospectus  agrees  with the
corresponding  amounts  (after  restatements  where  applicable)  in the audited
consolidated financial statements for such five fiscal years which were included
or  incorporated  by reference in the Company's  Annual Reports on Form 10-K for
such fiscal years;

    (v) They have compared the  information  in the  Prospectus  under  selected
captions with the disclosure  requirements of Regulation S-K and on the basis of
limited procedures specified in such letter nothing came to their attention as a
result  of the  foregoing  procedures  that  caused  them to  believe  that this
information  does not  conform  in all  material  respects  with the  disclosure
requirements of Items 301, 302, 402 and 503(d), respectively, of Regulation S-K;



                                       I-1

<PAGE>


    (vi) On the basis of limited procedures,  not constituting an examination in
accordance with generally accepted auditing  standards,  consisting of a reading
of the unaudited financial statements and other information referred to below, a
reading of the latest available interim financial  statements of the Company and
its  subsidiaries,  inspection  of the  minute  books  of the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries since the date of the latest audited financial  statements included
in the  Prospectus,  inquiries of officials of the Company and its  subsidiaries
responsible  for financial and accounting  matters and such other  inquiries and
procedures as may be specified in such letter,  nothing came to their  attention
that caused them to believe that:

         (A) (i) the  unaudited  condensed  consolidated  statements  of income,
    consolidated  balance  sheets  and  consolidated  statements  of cash  flows
    included in the Prospectus  and/or  included or incorporated by reference in
    the Company's  Quarterly  Reports on Form 10-Q  incorporated by reference in
    the  Prospectus  do not comply as to form in all material  respects with the
    applicable  accounting  requirements  of the  Exchange  Act and the  related
    published rules and regulations,  or (ii) any material  modifications should
    be  made to the  unaudited  condensed  consolidated  statements  of  income,
    consolidated  balance  sheets  and  consolidated  statements  of cash  flows
    included in the Prospectus or included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on
    Form 10-Q  incorporated  by reference in the  Prospectus,  for them to be in
    conformity with generally accepted accounting principles;

         (B) any other unaudited  income  statement data and balance sheet items
    included in the Prospectus do not agree with the corresponding  items in the
    unaudited  consolidated  financial statements from which such data and items
    were derived, and any such unaudited data and items were not determined on a
    basis substantially  consistent with the basis for the corresponding amounts
    in the audited consolidated financial statements included or incorporated by
    reference in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the most recent
    fiscal year;

         (C) the unaudited  financial  statements which were not included in the
    Prospectus  but from which were derived the  unaudited  condensed  financial
    statements referred to in Clause (A) and any unaudited income statement data
    and balance sheet items included in the Prospectus and referred to in Clause
    (B) were not determined on a basis  substantially  consistent with the basis
    for the audited  consolidated  financial statements included or incorporated
    by reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recent
    fiscal year;

         (D) any unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements
    included or  incorporated by reference in the Prospectus do not comply as to
    form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of
    the Act and the published rules and regulations  thereunder or the pro forma
    adjustments have not been properly applied to the historical  amounts in the
    compilation of those statements;

         (E) as of a specified date not more than five days prior to the date of
    such letter,  there have been any changes in the consolidated  capital stock
    (other than  issuances of capital  stock upon  exercise of options and stock
    appreciation   rights,   upon  earn-outs  of  performance  shares  and  upon
    conversions of convertible  securities,  in each case which were outstanding
    on the  date  of the  latest  balance  sheet  included  or  incorporated  by
    reference in the Prospectus) or any increase in the  consolidated  long-term
    debt of the Company and its  subsidiaries,  or any decreases in consolidated
    net current assets or  shareholders'  equity or other items specified by the
    Representatives,   or  any   increases   in  any  items   specified  by  the
    Representatives, in each case as compared with amounts

    date referred to in Clause (E) there were any decreases in consolidated  net
    revenues  or  operating  profit  or  the  total  or  per  share  amounts  of
    consolidated net income or other items specified by the Representatives,  or
    any increases in any items specified by the Representatives, in each case as
    compared with the comparable period of the preceding year and with any other
    period of corresponding length specified by the  Representatives,  except in
    each case for increases or decreases  which the  Prospectus  discloses  have
    occurred or may occur or which are described in such letter; and

    (vii) In addition to the examination referred to in their report(s) included
or  incorporated  by reference  in the  Prospectus  and the limited  procedures,
inspection  of minute  books,  inquiries  and other  procedures  referred  to in
paragraphs  (iii)  and (vi)  above,  they have  carried  out  certain  specified
procedures,  not  constituting  an  examination  in  accordance  with  generally
accepted auditing  standards,  with respect to certain amounts,  percentages and
financial  information  specified by the Representatives  which are derived from
the general accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries, which appear
in the Prospectus (excluding documents  incorporated by reference) or in Part II
of, or in exhibits and schedules to, the Registration Statement specified by the
Representatives  or in documents  incorporated  by  reference in the  Prospectus
specified by the  Representatives,  and have  compared  certain of such amounts,
percentages and financial information with the accounting records of the Company
and its subsidiaries and have found them to be in agreement.

Goldman Sachs International,

  As representatives of the several Underwriters
  named in Schedule I hereto,
c/o Goldman Sachs International,
Peterborough Court,
133 Fleet Street,
London EC4A 2BB, England.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         Certain   shareholders  named  in  Schedule  II  hereto  (the  "Selling
Shareholders") of Western Wireless  Corporation,  a Washington  corporation (the
"Company"),  propose, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to sell
to the Underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the "Underwriters") an aggregate
of  1,650,000   shares  (the  "Firm   Shares")  and,  at  the  election  of  the
Underwriters, up to 247,500 additional shares (the "Optional Shares") of Class A
Common  Stock,  no par value,  ("Stock") of the Company (the Firm Shares and the
Optional Shares that the  Underwriters  elect to purchase  pursuant to Section 2
hereof are herein collectively called the "Shares").

         It is  understood  and  agreed  to by  all  parties  that  the  Selling
Shareholders  are  concurrently  entering into an agreement,  a copy of which is
attached hereto (the "U.S. Underwriting  Agreement"),  providing for the sale by
the Selling  Shareholders  of up to a total of  12,017,500  shares of Stock (the
"U.S.  Shares"),   including  the  overallotment   option  thereunder,   through
arrangements  with  certain   underwriters  in  the  United  States  (the  "U.S.
Underwriters"),  for whom  Goldman,  Sachs & Co.,  Donaldson,  Lufkin & Jenrette
Securities  Corporation,  Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and
Smith Barney Inc. are acting as  representatives.  Anything herein or therein to
the contrary  notwithstanding,  the respective closings under this Agreement and
the U.S.  Underwriting  Agreement are hereby  expressly made  conditional on one
another. The Underwriters hereunder and the U.S. Underwriters are simultaneously
entering  into  an  Agreement  between  U.S.  and   International   Underwriting
Syndicates  (the "Agreement  between  Syndicates")  which provides,  among other
things,  for the transfer of shares of Stock between the two  syndicates and for
consultation by the Lead Managers hereunder with Goldman, Sachs & Co. prior to

exercising the rights of the Underwriters  under Section 7 hereof.  Two forms of
prospectus are to be used in connection  with the offering and sale of shares of
Stock  contemplated by the foregoing,  one relating to the Shares  hereunder and
the other  relating to the U.S.  Shares.  The latter form of prospectus  will be
identical to the former except for certain  substitute pages.  Except as used in
Sections 2, 3, 4, 9 and 11 herein,  and except as context may otherwise require,
references hereinafter to the Shares shall include all the shares of Stock which
may  be  sold  pursuant  to  either  this  Agreement  or the  U.S.  Underwriting
Agreement,  and references herein any prospectus whether in preliminary or final
form,  and whether as amended or  supplemented,  shall include both the U.S. and
the international versions thereof.

         In  addition,   this  Agreement   incorporates  by  reference   certain
provisions  from  the  U.S.   Underwriting   Agreement  (including  the  related
definitions of terms, which are also used elsewhere herein) and, for purposes of
applying  the  same,  references  (whether  in  these  precise  words  or  their
equivalent) in the incorporated provisions to the "Underwriters" shall be to the
Underwriters hereunder, to the "Shares" shall be to the Shares hereunder as just
defined, to "this Agreement" (meaning therein the U.S.  Underwriting  Agreement)
shall be to this Agreement  (except where this Agreement is already  referred to
or as the context  may  otherwise  require)  and to the  representatives  of the
Underwriters  or to  Goldman,  Sachs & Co.  shall be to the  addressees  of this
Agreement and to Goldman Sachs International  ("GSI"), and, in general, all such
provisions  and  defined  terms  shall be  applied  mutatis  mutandis  as if the
incorporated  provisions  were set forth in full herein  having  regard to their
context in this Agreement as opposed to the U.S. Underwriting Agreement.

         1. The Company and each of the several Selling Shareholders hereby make
to  the  Underwriters  the  same  respective  representations,   warranties  and
agreements  as are set forth in  Section 1 of the U.S.  Underwriting  Agreement,
which Section is incorporated herein by this reference.

         2. Subject to the terms and  conditions  herein set forth,  (a) each of
the Selling Shareholders  agrees,  severally and not jointly, to sell to each of
the  Underwriters,  and  each  of the  Underwriters  agrees,  severally  and not
jointly, to purchase from each of the Selling Shareholders,  at a purchase price
per share of $18.72,  the number of Firm  Shares (to be adjusted by you so as to
eliminate  fractional  shares) determined by multiplying the aggregate number of
Firm Shares to be sold by each of the Selling Shareholders as set forth opposite
their  respective  names in Schedule II hereto by a fraction  the  numerator  of
which is the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased by such Underwriter
as set forth opposite the name of such  Underwriter in Schedule I hereto and the
denominator  of which is the aggregate  number of Firm Shares to be purchased by
all the Underwriters from all the Selling Shareholders  hereunder and (b) in the
event and to the extent that the  Underwriters  shall  exercise  the election to
purchase  Optional  Shares as provided below,  each of the Selling  Shareholders
agrees, severally and not jointly, to sell to each of the Underwriters, and each
of the Underwriters agrees,  severally and not jointly, to purchase from each of
the Selling  Shareholders,  at the purchase  price per share set forth in clause
(a) of this Section 2, that portion of the number of Optional Shares as to which
such  election  shall  have  been  exercised  (to  be  adjusted  by you so as to
eliminate  fractional  shares) determined by multiplying such number of Optional
Shares by a fraction the  numerator  of which is the maximum  number of Optional
Shares which such  Underwriter is entitled to purchase as set forth opposite the
name of such  Underwriter  in Schedule I hereto and the  denominator of which is
the maximum number of Optional Shares that all of the  Underwriters are entitled
to purchase hereunder.

         The Selling Shareholders, as and to the extent indicated in Schedule II
hereto,  hereby grant,  severally and not jointly, to the Underwriters the right
to purchase at their  election up to 247,500  Optional  Shares,  at the purchase
price per  share  set forth in the  paragraph  above,  for the sole  purpose  of
covering  overallotments  in the sale of the Firm Shares.  Any such  election to
purchase  Optional  Shares shall be made in proportion to the number of Optional
Shares to be sold by each  Selling  Shareholder.  Any such  election to purchase
Optional  Shares  may be  exercised  only  by  written  notice  from  you to the
Attorneys-in-Fact,  given within a period of 30 calendar  days after the date of
this Agreement and setting forth the aggregate  number of Optional  Shares to be
purchased  and the date on which such Optional  Shares are to be  delivered,  as
determined  by you but in no event  earlier  than the First Time of Delivery (as
defined in Section 4 hereof) or, unless you and the Attorneys-in-Fact  otherwise
agree in writing,  earlier  than two or later than ten  business  days after the
date of such notice.

         3. Upon the authorization by GSI of the release of the Firm Shares, the
several  Underwriters  propose to offer the Firm  Shares for sale upon the terms
and conditions  set forth in the Prospectus and in the forms of Agreement  among
Underwriters  (International  Version) and Selling  Agreements,  which have been
previously submitted to the Company by you. Each Underwriter hereby makes to and
with the Company and the Selling Shareholders the representations and agreements
of such  Underwriter as a member of the selling group contained in Sections 3(d)
and 3(e) of the form of Selling Agreements.

         4. (a) The Shares to be purchased  by each  Underwriter  hereunder,  in
definitive  form, and in such  authorized  denominations  and registered in such
names as Goldman, Sachs & Co. may request upon at least forty-eight hours' prior
notice to the Selling  Shareholders,  shall be  delivered by or on behalf of the
Selling  Shareholders  to Goldman,  Sachs & Co.,  through the  facilities of The
Depository Trust Company ("DTC"),  for the account of such Underwriter,  against
payment by or on behalf of such  Underwriter  of the purchase  price therefor by
wire transfer of Federal  (same-day)  funds to the account  specified by each of
the Selling Shareholders, as their interests may appear, to Goldman, Sachs & Co.
at least forty-eight  hours in advance.  The Company will cause the certificates
representing the Shares to be made available for checking and packaging at least
twenty-four  hours prior to the Time of Delivery (as defined below) with respect
thereto  at the  office  of DTC or its  designated  custodian  (the  "Designated
Office").  The time and date of such delivery and payment shall be, with respect
to the Firm Shares,  9:30 a.m., New York City time, on May 6, 1998 or such other
time and date as  Goldman,  Sachs & Co. and the Selling  Shareholders  may agree
upon in writing,  and, with respect to the Optional Shares,  9:30 a.m., New York
time, on the date specified by Goldman,  Sachs & Co. in the written notice given
by Goldman,  Sachs & Co. of the Underwriters' election to purchase such Optional
Shares,  or such other  time and date as  Goldman,  Sachs & Co. and the  Selling
Shareholders  may agree upon in writing.  Such time and date for delivery of the
Firm Shares is herein  called the "First Time of  Delivery",  such time and date
for  delivery of the  Optional  Shares,  if not the First Time of  Delivery,  is
herein  called the "Second  Time of  Delivery",  and each such time and date for
delivery is herein called a "Time of Delivery".

         (b) The  documents  to be  delivered  at each Time of Delivery by or on
behalf of the  parties  hereto  pursuant  to Section 7 of the U.S.  Underwriting
Agreement,  including  the  cross-receipt  for the  Shares  and  any  additional
documents  requested  by the  Underwriters  pursuant to Section 7(n) of the U.S.
Underwriting  Agreement,  will be  delivered  at the offices of Preston  Gates &
Ellis,  701  Fifth  Avenue,   Seattle,   Washington   98104-7078  (the  "Closing
Location"),  and the Shares will be delivered at the Designated  Office,  all at
such Time of Delivery.  A meeting  will be held at the Closing  Location at 1:00
p.m., Seattle time, on the New York Business Day next

                                        3

preceding  such Time of  Delivery,  at which  meeting  the  final  drafts of the
documents to be delivered  pursuant to the preceding  sentence will be available
for review by the parties hereto.  For the purposes of this Section 4, "New York
Business Day" shall mean each Monday,  Tuesday,  Wednesday,  Thursday and Friday
which  is not a day on which  banking  institutions  in New  York are  generally
authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

         5. The Company hereby makes with the  Underwriters  the same agreements
as are set forth in Section 5 of the U.S. Underwriting Agreement,  which Section
is incorporated herein by this reference.

         6. The Company, each of the Selling Shareholders,  and the Underwriters
hereby agree with respect to certain expenses on the same terms as are set forth
in Section 6 of the U.S. Underwriting  Agreement,  which Section is incorporated
herein by this reference.

         7. Subject to the provisions of the Agreement between  Syndicates,  the
obligations of the Underwriters hereunder shall be subject, in their discretion,
at  each  Time  of  Delivery  to the  condition  that  all  representations  and
warranties and other  statements of the Company and of the Selling  Shareholders
herein are, at and as of such Time of Delivery,  true and correct, the condition
that the Company and the Selling  Shareholders shall have performed all of their
respective  obligations  hereunder  theretofore to be performed,  and additional
conditions  identical  to those set forth in Section 7 of the U.S.  Underwriting
Agreement, which Section is incorporated herein by this reference.

         8. (a) The Company will  indemnify and hold  harmless each  Underwriter
against any losses, claims,  damages or liabilities,  joint or several, to which
such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based  upon an untrue  statement  or  alleged  untrue  statement  of a
material  fact  contained  in  any  Preliminary  Prospectus,   the  Registration
Statement or the Prospectus,  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,  and will reimburse each  Underwriter  for any legal or
other  expenses  reasonably  incurred by such  Underwriter  in  connection  with
investigating  or  defending  any such  action  or claim  as such  expenses  are
incurred;  provided,  however,  that the Company shall not be liable in any such
case to the extent that any such loss, claim,  damage or liability arises out of
or is based upon an untrue  statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus,  the Registration Statement
or the  Prospectus  or any such  amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information  furnished to the Company by any Underwriter
through GSI expressly for use therein.

         (b) Each of the Selling  Shareholders,  severally and not jointly, will
indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities,  joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject,
under  the  Act or  otherwise,  insofar  as  such  losses,  claims,  damages  or
liabilities  (or actions in respect  thereof)  arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Preliminary  Prospectus,  the Registration  Statement or the Prospectus,  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, in each case
to the extent,  but only to the extent,  that such untrue  statement  or alleged
untrue  statement or omission or alleged  omission  was made in any  Preliminary
Prospectus, the

                                        4



<PAGE>



Registration  Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in
reliance  upon and in  conformity  with  written  information  furnished  to the
Company  by such  Selling  Shareholder  expressly  for  use  therein;  and  will
reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses  reasonably  incurred
by such  Underwriter  in  connection  with  investigating  or defending any such
action or claim as such  expenses are  incurred;  provided,  however,  that such
Selling  Shareholder shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any
such loss,  claim,  damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged  untrue  statement or omission or alleged  omission made in
any Preliminary Prospectus,  the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any
such  amendment or supplement  in reliance  upon and in conformity  with written
information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through Goldman, Sachs &
Co.  expressly  for use  therein;  provided,  further,  that the  liability of a
Selling Shareholder pursuant to this subsection (b) shall not exceed the product
of the number of Shares sold by such Selling Shareholder and the public offering
price of the Shares as set forth in the Prospectus.

         (c) Each  Underwriter  will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and
each Selling  Shareholder  against any losses,  claims,  damages or liabilities,
joint or several,  to which the Company or such Selling  Shareholder  may become
subject, under the Act or otherwise,  insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities  (or actions in respect  thereof)  arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Preliminary  Prospectus,  the Registration  Statement or the Prospectus,  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, in each case
to the extent,  but only to the extent,  that such untrue  statement  or alleged
untrue  statement or omission or alleged  omission  was made in any  Preliminary
Prospectus,  the Registration  Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment
or  supplement  in reliance  upon and in  conformity  with  written  information
furnished  to the  Company by such  Underwriter  through GSI  expressly  for use
therein;  and will  reimburse the Company and each Selling  Shareholder  for any
legal or other  expenses  reasonably  incurred  by the  Company or such  Selling
Shareholder  in connection  with  investigating  or defending any such action or
claim as such expenses are incurred.

         (d) Promptly  after receipt by an  indemnified  party under  subsection
(a),  (b) or (c)  above  of  notice  of the  commencement  of any  action,  such
indemnified  party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an
indemnifying  party  under such  subsection,  notify the  indemnifying  party in
writing  of  the  commencement  thereof;  but  the  omission  so to  notify  the
indemnifying  party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
any  indemnified  party otherwise than under such  subsection.  In case any such
action shall be brought  against any  indemnified  party and it shall notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement  thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate  therein and, to the extent that it shall wish,  jointly
with any other  indemnifying  party  similarly  notified,  to assume the defense
thereof,  with counsel  satisfactory to such  indemnified  party (who shall not,
except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying
party),  and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
of its election so to assume the defense thereof,  the indemnifying  party shall
not be liable to such  indemnified  party  under such  subsection  for any legal
expenses  of other  counsel  or any other  expenses,  in each case  subsequently
incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other
than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the
written  consent of the indemnified  party,  effect the settlement or compromise
of, or consent to the entry of any  judgment  with  respect  to, any  pending or
threatened action or claim in respect of which  indemnification  or contribution
may be sought  hereunder  (whether or not the indemnified  party is an actual or
potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise

                                        5

or judgment (i) includes an unconditional  release of the indemnified party from
all  liability  arising  out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a
statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or
on behalf of any indemnified party.

         (e)  If  the  indemnification   provided  for  in  this  Section  8  is
unavailable  to or  insufficient  to hold  harmless an  indemnified  party under
subsection  (a), (b) or (c) above in respect of any losses,  claims,  damages or
liabilities  (or actions in respect  thereof)  referred  to  therein,  then each
indemnifying  party  shall  contribute  to the  amount  paid or  payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect  thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative  benefits  received by the Company and the Selling  Shareholders on the
one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Shares.  If,
however,  the allocation  provided by the immediately  preceding sentence is not
permitted  by  applicable  law or if the  indemnified  party  failed to give the
notice required under subsection (d) above, then each  indemnifying  party shall
contribute  to such  amount  paid or payable by such  indemnified  party in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also
the relative fault of the Company and the Selling  Shareholders  on the one hand
and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such losses,  claims,  damages or  liabilities  (or actions in
respect  thereof),  as  well  as any  other  relevant  equitable  considerations
(including  any material  prejudice as a result of any failure to give notice as
required by subsection (d) above). The relative benefits received by the Company
and the Selling  Shareholders on the one hand and the  Underwriters on the other
shall be deemed to be in the same  proportion as the total net proceeds from the
offering  of  the  Shares  purchased  under  this  Agreement  (before  deducting
expenses)  received  by  the  Company  and  the  Selling   Shareholders  in  the
underwritten  public  offering  bear to the  total  underwriting  discounts  and
commissions  received by the  Underwriters  with respect to the Shares purchased
under this  Agreement,  in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page
of the Prospectus. 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
information  supplied by the Company or the Selling Shareholders on the one hand
or the Underwriters on the other and the parties'  relative  intent,  knowledge,
access to  information  and  opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission.  The Company,  each of the Selling  Shareholders  and the Underwriters
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions  pursuant to this
subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation  (even if the Underwriters
were  treated  as one  entity  for  such  purpose)  or by any  other  method  of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable  considerations referred
to above in this  subsection  (e). The amount paid or payable by an  indemnified
party as a result of the losses,  claims,  damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect  thereof)  referred to above in this  subsection  (e) shall be deemed to
include any legal or other  expenses  reasonably  incurred  by such  indemnified
party in connection  with  investigating  or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding  the provisions of this subsection (e), no Underwriter  shall be
required  to  contribute  any  amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Shares  underwritten by it and distributed to the public were
offered to the public  exceeds the amount of any damages which such  Underwriter
has otherwise  been  required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged  untrue
statement or omission or alleged  omission and no Selling  Shareholder  shall be
required  to  contribute  any  amount in excess of the  product of the number of
Shares sold by such Selling Shareholder and the initial public offering price of
the  Shares  as set forth in the  Prospectus.  No  person  guilty of  fraudulent
misrepresentation  (within  the  meaning of  Section  11(f) of the Act) shall be
entitled to  contribution  from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.  The  Underwriters'  obligations  in this  subsection  (e) to
contribute   are  several  in  proportion  to  their   respective   underwriting
obligations and not joint.


                                        6



<PAGE>



         (f) The obligations of the Company and the Selling  Shareholders  under
this Section 8 shall be in addition to any  liability  which the Company and the
respective  Selling  Shareholders may otherwise have and shall extend,  upon the
same terms and conditions,  to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter
within the meaning of the Act; and the  obligations  of the  Underwriters  under
this  Section 8 shall be in  addition  to any  liability  which  the  respective
Underwriters  may  otherwise  have and  shall  extend,  upon the same  terms and
conditions,  to each officer and director of the Company  (including  any person
who, with his or her consent, is named in the Registration Statement as about to
become a director of the Company)  and to each person,  if any, who controls the
Company or any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of the Act.

         9. (a) If any  Underwriter  shall default in its obligation to purchase
the Shares which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of Delivery,  you
may in your  discretion  arrange  for you or another  party or other  parties to
purchase such Shares on the terms contained  herein.  If within thirty-six hours
after such  default by any  Underwriter  you do not arrange for the  purchase of
such Shares, then the Selling Shareholders shall be entitled to a further period
of  thirty-six  hours within  which to procure  another  party or other  parties
satisfactory  to you to purchase  such Shares on such terms.  In the event that,
within the respective  prescribed periods,  you notify the Selling  Shareholders
that you have so  arranged  for the  purchase  of such  Shares,  or the  Selling
Shareholders  notify you that they have so  arranged  for the  purchase  of such
Shares,  you or the Selling  Shareholders  shall have the right to postpone such
Time of Delivery  for a period of not more than seven  days,  in order to effect
whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration  Statement or
the  Prospectus,  or in any other  documents  or  arrangements,  and the Company
agrees to file  promptly any  amendments  to the  Registration  Statement or the
Prospectus  which  in your  opinion  may  thereby  be made  necessary.  The term
"Underwriter"  as used in this  Agreement  shall include any person  substituted
under this  Section  with like  effect as if such person had  originally  been a
party to this Agreement with respect to such Shares.

         (b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the
Shares  of a  defaulting  Underwriter  or  Underwriters  by you and the  Selling
Shareholders as provided in subsection (a) above,  the aggregate  number of such
Shares which remains  unpurchased does not exceed  one-eleventh of the aggregate
number of all the  Shares to be  purchased  at such Time of  Delivery,  then the
Selling  Shareholders  shall  have the  right  to  require  each  non-defaulting
Underwriter  to purchase the number of Shares which such  Underwriter  agreed to
purchase  hereunder at such Time of Delivery  and, in addition,  to require each
non-defaulting  Underwriter  to purchase its pro rata share (based on the number
of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase  hereunder) of the Shares of
such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not
been made;  but nothing  herein  shall  relieve a  defaulting  Underwriter  from
liability for its default.

         (c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the
Shares  of a  defaulting  Underwriter  or  Underwriters  by you and the  Selling
Shareholders as provided in subsection (a) above,  the aggregate  number of such
Shares which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate number of
all the  Shares to be  purchased  at such Time of  Delivery,  or if the  Selling
Shareholders  shall not exercise the right  described in subsection (b) above to
require   non-defaulting   Underwriters  to  purchase  Shares  of  a  defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement (or, with respect to the Second
Time of Delivery,  the  obligations of the  Underwriters  to purchase and of the
Selling  Shareholders to sell the Optional  Shares) shall  thereupon  terminate,
without liability on the part of any  non-defaulting  Underwriter or the Company
or the Selling Shareholders,  except for the expenses to be borne by the Company
and the  Selling  Shareholders  and the  Underwriters  as  provided in Section 6
hereof and the indemnity and

                                        7

contribution  agreements in Section 8 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a
defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

         10. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties
and other  statements of the Company,  the Selling  Shareholders and the several
Underwriters,  as set forth in this  Agreement  or made by or on behalf of them,
respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect,
regardless of any  investigation  (or any  statement as to the results  thereof)
made  by or on  behalf  of any  Underwriter  or any  controlling  person  of any
Underwriter, or the Company, or any of the Selling Shareholders,  or any officer
or director or controlling  person of the Company,  or any controlling person of
any  Selling  Shareholder,  and shall  survive  delivery  of and payment for the
Shares.

         Anything  herein  to  the  contrary   notwithstanding,   the  indemnity
agreement  of  the  Company  in  subsection   (a)  of  Section  8  hereof,   the
representations and warranties in subsections  (a)(ii), (a) (iii) and (a)(iv) of
Section 1 of the U.S.  Underwriting  Agreement  incorporated by reference herein
and any  representation  or  warranty  as to the  accuracy  of the  Registration
Statement  or the  Prospectus  contained  in any  certificate  furnished  by the
Company pursuant to Section 7 hereof, insofar as they may constitute a basis for
indemnification  for liabilities  (other than payment by the Company of expenses
incurred or paid in the  successful  defense of any action,  suit or proceeding)
arising under the Act, shall not extend to the extent of any interest therein of
a controlling person or partner of an Underwriter who is a director,  officer or
controlling  person of the Company when the  Registration  Statement  has become
effective  or  who,  with  his or her  consent,  is  named  in the  Registration
Statement as about to become a director of the  Company,  except in each case to
the extent that an interest of such  character  shall have been  determined by a
court of appropriate  jurisdiction  as not against public policy as expressed in
the Act.  Unless in the  opinion of counsel  for the Company the matter has been
settled  by  controlling  precedent,  the  Company  will,  if a claim  for  such
indemnification is asserted,  submit to a court of appropriate  jurisdiction the
question  whether the  extension of the  indemnification  by the Company to such
interest is against  public  policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

         11. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 9 hereof,
neither  the  Company  nor the  Selling  Shareholders  shall  then be under  any
liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 6 and 8 hereof; but,
if for any other  reason,  any Shares are not  delivered  by or on behalf of the
Selling  Shareholders  as  provided  herein,  the  Company  will  reimburse  the
Underwriters  through GSI for all out-of-pocket  expenses approved in writing by
GSI,  including fees and  disbursements of counsel,  reasonably  incurred by the
Underwriters in making  preparations for the purchase,  sale and delivery of the
Shares not so delivered, but the Company and the Selling Shareholders shall then
be under no further liability to any Underwriter in respect of the Shares not so
delivered except as provided in Sections 6 and 8 hereof.

         12. In all dealings  hereunder,  you shall act on behalf of each of the
Underwriters,  and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any
statement,  request,  notice or agreement on behalf of any  Underwriter  made or
given by you  jointly or by GSI on behalf of you as the  representatives  of the
Underwriters;  and in all dealings with any Selling Shareholder  hereunder,  you
and the Company shall be entitled to act and rely upon any  statement,  request,
notice or agreement on behalf of such Selling  Shareholder  made or given by any
or all of the Attorneys-in-Fact for such Selling Shareholder.

         All statements,  requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in
writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or
facsimile transmission to the

         Goldman Sachs & Co.
         85 Broad Street

         as Attorneys-in-Fact for the
         Selling Shareholder
         (the "Attorneys-in-Fact")

         The undersigned and certain other shareholders of the Company (the
undersigned and such other shareholders being hereinafter referred to as the
"Selling Shareholders") propose to sell certain shares of Class B Common Stock
of the Company (the "Common Stock") to underwriters (the "Underwriters") for
whom (i) Goldman, Sachs & Co., Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities
Corporation, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Smith Barney
Inc. will act as representatives (the "U.S. Representatives") in the United
States offering and (ii) Goldman Sachs International, Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette Securities Corporation, Merrill Lynch International and Salomon Smith
Barney will act as representatives in the international offering (the
"International Representatives" and, collectively with the U.S. Representatives,
the "Representatives"), for the distribution under a Registration Statement on
Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") to the public at a price and on terms to
be hereafter determined. It is understood that at this time there is no
commitment on the part of the Underwriters to purchase any shares of Common
Stock, and no assurance that an offering of Common Stock will take place. The
shares of Common Stock of the Company to be sold by the undersigned to the
Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreements will upon sale be converted
to Class A Common Stock, and are referred to hereinafter as the "Sold Shares."

1.       Appointment and Powers of Attorneys-in-Fact.

         A. The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the
Attorneys-in-Fact, and each of them, his or her true and lawful agents and
attorneys with respect to all matters arising in connection with the public
offering and sale of the Sold Shares, including, but not limited to, the power
and authority on behalf of the undersigned to do or cause to be done any of the
following things:


<PAGE>

                           (i) negotiate, determine and agree upon (a) the price
         at which the Sold Shares will be offered to the public by the
         Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreements, as hereinafter
         defined, (b) the underwriting discount with respect to the Sold Shares
         and (c) the price at which the Sold Shares will be sold to the
         Underwriters by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to the Underwriting
         Agreements, ALL OF WHICH SHALL BE WITHOUT REGARD TO ESTIMATES OR RANGES
         CONTAINED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR ELSEWHERE, OR ANY OTHER ORAL
         OR WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS RELATING TO THE PROPOSED OFFERING SUPPLIED TO
         THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS;

                           (ii) make, execute and deliver the underwriting
         agreements (collectively, the "Underwriting Agreements") with respect
         to the Offerings, as such term is defined in the Registration
         Statement, with such terms and conditions (specifically including, but
         not limited to, the price at which the Sold Shares will be sold) as any
         Attorney-in-Fact in his or her sole discretion shall approve, such
         approval to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery of
         the Underwriting Agreements by the Attorneys-in-Fact or any of them;
         and carry out and comply with all of the provisions of the Underwriting
         Agreements, including the making of all representations and agreements
         provided in the Underwriting Agreements to be made by, and the exercise
         of all authority thereunder vested in, the undersigned;

                           (iii) sell, assign, transfer and deliver to the
