understood and agreed that the Parent Stockholders and the Omnipoint
Stockholders will still enter into the Newco Voting Agreement.

          (b) Pursuant to Newco Voting Agreement II each of the Parent
Stockholders and TDS (and the Omnipoint Stockholders if they agree to enter into
such agreement) shall agree, on the terms set forth therein, to vote, or cause

severally agrees to be bound by the provisions of Sections 6(a) and 6(b) of the
Investor Agreement, dated as of September 17, 1999, among Sonera Ltd.,
VoiceStream and Holding and agree that Sonera Ltd. shall be a third party
beneficiary of this sub clause (c).

          (d) Parent agrees if necessary, to amend the Bylaws of Parent, to
increase the number of authorized directors to a number sufficient to satisfy
the obligations in the VoiceStream Voting Agreement, Newco Voting Agreement and
Newco Voting Agreement II, as applicable.

          3. Covenants of Each Parent Stockholder. Until the earlier of the

prior to such Transfer (or, in the case of a pledge or similar transfer, prior
to taking title to or exercising any rights with respect to the applicable
VoiceStream Scheduled Shares), agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions
of Sections 3 and 5 through 16 of this



                                       -4-

objections to jurisdiction that it may have under the laws of the State of
Delaware or the United States and any claim or objection that any such court is
an inconvenient forum.

of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction, or
the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction.
