          (v) the requested aggregate principal amount of such Loan; and

         (vi) the account to which the proceeds of such Loan shall be paid.

Each Draw Request:

          (A) with respect to a Tranche X Loan shall be accompanied by a Tranche
     X Borrowing Base Certificate that, among other things, shows the Tranche X
     Borrowing Base as of the date of such Draw Request;

          (B) with respect to a Tranche X Loan or a Tranche Y Loan shall be
     accompanied by a certificate that shows the Tranche X Maximum Commitment or
     the Tranche Y Maximum Commitment, as applicable, as of the date of such
     Draw Request and sets forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the
     amount thereof;

          (C) with respect to a Tranche Z Loan, shall be accompanied by such
     other certificates, information and evidence as EKN, if it shall have
     guaranteed the payment of the Tranche Z Loans, may require; and

          (D) shall be accompanied such additional documents as may be required
     by Article IX.

     Each Applicable Lender shall, before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the
date of such Loan, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending
Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Account in
same-day funds, such Lender's ratable portion of such Loan.  After the
Administrative Agent's receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the
applicable conditions set forth in Articles VIII and IX, the Administrative
Agent will wire transfer same-day funds in the aggregate principal amount of
such Loan to such account as the Borrower shall have specified in its Draw
Request.  If the Administrative Agent shall receive such funds and if such
applicable conditions shall be fulfilled prior to 12:00 A.M. (New York City
time) on the date of any proposed Loan, the Administrative Agent shall commence
the wire transfer (or direct its bank to commence the wire transfer) of

such funds to such account by 2:00 P.M. (New York City time).

     (b) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i)
the Borrower may not select LIBOR Advances for any Tranche X Loan or Tranche Z
Loan if the aggregate amount of such Loan is less than $5,000,000 or if the
obligation of the Tranche X Lenders and Tranche Z Lenders to make LIBOR Advances
shall then be suspended pursuant to (S)2.05 or 4.01 and (ii) there shall be no
more than three Interest Periods for LIBOR Advances at any one time in effect.

     (c) Each Draw Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.  In
the case of any Tranche X Loan or Tranche Z Loan that the related Draw Request
specifies is to be comprised of LIBOR Advances and while the Second LIBOR Method
is applicable, the Borrower shall indemnify each Applicable Lender against any
loss, cost or expense incurred by such Applicable Lender as a result of any
failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Draw Request for such
Loan the applicable conditions set forth in Articles VIII and IX, including any
loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason
of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such
Applicable Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Applicable Lender as
part of such Loan when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on
such date.

     (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from an
Applicable Lender prior to the date of any Loan that such Applicable Lender will
not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's ratable portion of
such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Loan in
accordance with subsection (a) of this (S)2.02 and the Administrative Agent may,
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such Applicable Lender shall
not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent,
such Applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to
the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent,
at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to
Advances comprising such Loan and (ii) in the case of such Applicable Lender,
the Federal Funds Rate.  If such Applicable Lender shall repay to the
Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall
constitute such Applicable Lender's Advance as part of such Loan for purposes of
this Agreement.

     (e) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part
of any Loan shall not relieve any other Applicable Lender of its obligation, if
any, hereunder to make

                                      -49-
<PAGE>

its Advance on the date of such Loan, but no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender
on the date of any Loan.

Advance is made through but excluding the earlier of the date on which such
Advance is repaid or prepaid and August 4, 2001. Such usage fee shall be payable

     (b) Syndication Fee.  If Ericsson shall sell or otherwise assign all or any
         ---------------
portion of any Advances owing to it or any of its Commitments hereunder to any
Person other than an Affiliate of Ericsson, the Borrower shall pay to Ericsson
such fee as is actually payable to any such Person in connection with such sale
or assignment, up to a maximum amount equal to 2.00% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Advances or Commitments so sold or assigned.

     (c) Agents' Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent (if

time be agreed between the Borrower and each such Agent.

included in the computation of payment of interest or usage fee, as the case may
be; provided that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or
    --------
principal of LIBOR Advances to be made in the next-following calendar month,
such payment shall be made on the next-preceding Business Day.

     (f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due and owing to the
Applicable Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in
full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such
payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative
Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each
Applicable Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such
Applicable Lender.  If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made
such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Applicable Lender shall
repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to
such Applicable Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the
date such amount is distributed to such Applicable

                                      -58-
<PAGE>

Lender until the date such Applicable Lender repays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

     (g) To the extent permitted by law, all payments by the Borrower hereunder
and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or
counterclaim.  Without limitation of the preceding sentence, to the extent
permitted by law, the Borrower's obligation to pay all amounts due under the
Loans shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including:

          (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, deduction, abatement,
     suspension, diminution, reduction, defense or other right which the
     Borrower may have against Ericsson for any reason whatsoever arising under
     or pursuant to the Equipment Acquisition Agreement or otherwise relating to
     the purchase of goods, other property or services from or by Ericsson;

          (ii) any defect in the condition, design, operation or fitness for use
     of, or any damage to or loss or destruction of, any equipment or material
     provided by Ericsson;

          (iii) any actual or alleged default by Ericsson or any other Person
     under the Equipment Acquisition Agreement; or

          (iv) any other fact or circumstance relating to the Equipment
     Acquisition Agreement.

No payment hereunder shall affect any rights of the Borrower under any other
agreement with Ericsson.

     Section 2.08.  Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If any Lender shall obtain any
                    ------------------------
payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of
set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances owing to it (other than
pursuant to (S)4.02, 4.03 or 12.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share of
payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender
shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the
Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to
share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided that, if all or any
                                                    --------
portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall
repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery
together with an amount equal to such Lender's ratable share (according to the
proportion of (a) the amount of such Lender's required repayment to (b) the

                                      -59-
<PAGE>

total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other
amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount
so recovered.  The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation
from another Lender pursuant to this (S)2.08 may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of
set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the
direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

     Section 2.09.  Use of Proceeds.  (a)  The proceeds of Tranche X Advances
                    ---------------
shall be available (and the Borrower shall use such proceeds) for the general
corporate and working-capital purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
including the payment of interest hereunder.

     (b) The proceeds of Tranche Y Advances shall be available (and the Borrower
shall use such proceeds) for any purpose for which Tranche X Advances shall be
permitted to be used, and to make loans to the Grandparent permitted under
(S)7.04(j).

     (c) Subject to any restrictions or limitations that EKN may require, if it
shall have guaranteed the Tranche Z Advances, the proceeds of Tranche Z Advances
shall be available (and the Borrower shall use such proceeds) for:

          (i) the purchase of equipment from Ericsson (excluding handsets) and
     its Affiliates that will give rise to Ericsson Related Expenses, and

          (ii) the prepayment of Tranche X Advances in an aggregate principal
     amount not exceeding on the date of such prepayment the aggregate amount of
     Applicable Ericsson Expenses as of such date.

     Section 2.10.  The Notes.  The Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Lender
                    ---------
to make or cause to be made an appropriate notation on the Schedule attached to
such Lender's Note of the making of Loans or the receipt of payments.  The
amount of the Loans set forth on such Schedule, and the applicable tranches
thereof, shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and
                  -----------
unpaid to such Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording,
any such amount on such Schedule shall not limit or otherwise affect the
obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes to make payments of
principal of or interest on the Notes when due.

     Section 2.11.  First LIBOR Method and Second LIBOR Method.  The First LIBOR
                    ------------------------------------------
Method shall be applicable at all times until such time as the Second LIBOR
Method becomes applicable.  If there is a Lender in addition to or other than
Ericsson (other than an Affiliate of

                                      -60-
<PAGE>

Ericsson) and the Administrative Agent at the direction of any Lender shall have
notified the Borrower that the Second LIBOR Method shall be applicable, the
Second LIBOR Method shall become applicable immediately as of the date of such
notice; provided that, if any LIBOR Advances are then outstanding, the Second
        --------
LIBOR Method shall become applicable on the last day of the then-existing
Interest Period for such LIBOR Advances. After becoming applicable, the Second
LIBOR Method shall remain applicable at all times thereafter.


     Section 2.12.  Increases, Reduction or Termination of the Commitments.  (a)
                    ------------------------------------------------------
At any time when there shall be no undrawn Tranche X Commitments outstanding,
the Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days' notice to the
Administrative Agent, increase the amount of the Tranche X Maximum Commitments
by all or a portion of the unused portions of the OPCS Commitments, the OCI
Tranche A Advance Commitment or the OCI Tranche B and C Advance Commitment.  Any
such notice shall state the amount of such unused commitments by which the
Tranche X Maximum Commitments shall be increased and shall be accompanied by (i)
a certificate from OPCS or OCI, as applicable, stating that (A) it will not draw
on such unused portion of the applicable commitments thereunder until it shall
have received a notice from the Administrative Agent stating that such unused
portion is again available to be drawn (which notice is to be provided at such
time after the repayment of Advances in respect of Transferred Commitments) and
(B) any draw on such unused portion will be an "Event of Default" as defined in
the applicable loan agreement; and (ii) a Draw Request for a Tranche X Loan in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount by which the Tranche X Maximum
Commitments will be increased.

     (b) The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days' notice to the
Administrative Agent, permanently terminate in whole or reduce in part the
unused portions of any Commitments with respect to any tranche of Loans;

provided that each such partial reduction:
--------
          (i) with respect to Commitments relating to any tranche of Loans shall
     be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of
     $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the aggregate remaining unused
     amounts of all Applicable Lenders' Commitments in respect of such tranche
     of Loans), and

          (ii) shall be made ratably among the Applicable Lenders in accordance
     with their respective Commitments in respect of such tranche of Loans.

Upon any such reduction, if the Borrower shall so specify, the Administrative
Agent shall deliver to OPCS or OCI, as the Borrower shall specify, a notice
stating that the applicable portion of the unused OPCS Commitment, the unused
OCI Tranche A Commitment or the

                                      -61-
<PAGE>

OCI Tranche B and C Advance Commitment that OPCS or OCI had previously agreed
not to draw is again available to be drawn.

          (c) (i) The Tranche X Maximum Commitments, the Tranche Y Maximum
     Commitments or the Tranche Z Maximum Commitments, as applicable, shall be
     automatically and permanently reduced as of any date on which Advances are
     prepaid pursuant to (S)3.02(a), (b), (c), (f) or (S)3.03, by the aggregate
     principal amount of the Advances so prepaid, except that the Tranche X
                                                  ------
     Maximum Commitment shall not be reduced in the event of a prepayment of
     Tranche X Advances with the proceeds of a Tranche Z Advance.

                (ii) The Tranche X Maximum Commitments, the Tranche Y Advances
          other than Tranche Y Interest Advances or the Tranche Z Maximum
          Commitments, as applicable, shall be automatically and permanently
          reduced from time to time as necessary to ensure that the total of the
          Tranche X Maximum Commitments, the Tranche Y Advances other than
          Tranche Y Interest Advances and the Tranche Z Maximum Commitments
          divided by the total number of POPs in all Permitted BTAs does not at
          any time exceed $30. Each such reduction shall be made, first, to the
          Tranche X Maximum Commitments or the Tranche Z Maximum Commitments (as
          specified by the Borrower), and, second, to the Tranche Y Maximum
          Commitments.

                (iii) On the Second Launch Date, unless the Borrower and its
          Subsidiaries shall have Launched the Boston BTA by such date, the
          Tranche Y Maximum Commitments shall be automatically and permanently
          reduced to the greater of 30% of the amount thereof immediately prior
          to such reduction and the then-outstanding aggregate principal amount
          of the Tranche Y Advances.

                (iv) On the Second Launch Date, unless the Borrower and its
          Subsidiaries shall have Launched the Miami BTA by such date, the
          Tranche Y Maximum Commitments shall be automatically and permanently
          reduced to the greater of 70% of the amount thereof immediately prior
          to such reduction and the then-outstanding aggregate principal amount
          of the Tranche Y Advances.

Each such reduction shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with
their respective Commitments.

     (d) Termination.  On the Termination Date, except for purposes of
         -----------
(S)3.02(f), the then-remaining undrawn Commitments of the Lenders shall be
automatically terminated.

     Section 2.13.  Change in Terms Applicable to Tranche Y Advances.   On any
                    ------------------------------------------------
date on which the Tranche Y Maximum Commitments are subject to reduction
pursuant to (S)2.12(c)(iii), the terms and conditions (including without
limitation those relating to interest rates and principal amortization) provided
herein with respect to the portion, if any, of the then-outstanding aggregate
principal amount of Tranche Y Advances then outstanding equal to the excess of
such aggregate principal amount over 30% of the amount of the Tranche Y Maximum
Commitments before giving effect to any reduction pursuant to such Section,
automatically shall be changed so that in all respects the terms and conditions
applicable to such portion shall be the same as those applicable to Tranche X
Advances, except that no borrowing-base requirements shall be applicable
thereto. On any date on which the Tranche Y Maximum Commitments are subject to
reduction pursuant to (S)2.12(c)(iv), the terms and conditions (including
without limitation those relating to interest rates and principal amortization)
provided herein with respect to the portion, if any, of the then-outstanding
aggregate principal amount of Tranche Y Advances then outstanding equal to the
excess of such aggregate principal amount over 70% of the amount of the Tranche
Y Maximum Commitments before giving effect to any reduction pursuant to such
Section, automatically shall be changed so that in all respects the terms and
conditions applicable to such portion shall be the same as those applicable to
Tranche X Advances, except that no borrowing-base requirements shall be
applicable thereto. Without limitation of the preceding two sentences, the
provisions of (S)2.07(b) shall not be applicable to Tranche Y Advances as to
which the terms and conditions applicable thereto shall have changed as provided
in this (S)2.13.

     (b) On the Maturity Date applicable to any Advances, the Borrower shall
repay the aggregate then-outstanding principal amount of such Advances, together
with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due
and owing hereunder, under the Notes and under the other Loan Documents.

     Section 3.02.  Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.  (a)  No later than three
                    ------------------------------
Business Days after its receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds referred to in clause
(i) below, the Borrower shall prepay Advances in an aggregate principal amount
equal to

          (i) the Net Cash Proceeds from the direct or indirect sale of any
     assets of the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any sale
     of inventory and other goods in the ordinary course of business or any
     disposition by way of an FCC License Transfer or an FCC License Partition
     permitted under (S)7.06(b)(iii)) that is otherwise permitted under this
     Agreement during any calendar year, to the extent such aggregate Net Cash
     Proceeds received during such calendar year shall exceed $5,000,000
     multiplied by

          (ii) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the aggregate principal
     amount of the Advances outstanding at the time of such sale, and (B) the
     denominator of which is such aggregate principal amount, plus the aggregate
     principal amount of all Indebtedness outstanding at the time of such sale
     under all Permitted Loan Agreements the loans under which are required to
     be prepaid with such Net Cash Proceeds, to the extent the Intercreditor
     Agreement permits such prepayment.

Any prepayment pursuant to this subsection (a):

          (x) shall be applied to the prepayment, first, of a ratable principal
     amount of Tranche X Advances and Tranche Z Advances, second, of Tranche Y
     Interest Advances, and third, of Tranche Y Advances other than Tranche Y
     Interest Advances;

          (y) shall be applied to the prepayment of a ratable principal amount
     of Advances forming part of the same Loan then outstanding; and

          (z) shall not reduce the principal amount of Advances required to be
     repaid





                                      -64-


<PAGE>

     on any date pursuant to (S)3.01(a), to the extent that such Advances are
     outstanding on such date.

No prior prepayment of Advances shall reduce the principal amount of the
Advances required to be prepaid pursuant to this subsection (a).

     (b) If, at any time after the occurrence of any FCC License Transfer or FCC
License Partition as a result of which any Indebtedness under any Permitted Loan
Agreement is required to be prepaid, the Borrower shall make any Distribution
(other than a Distribution permitted under (S)7.05(d)) in respect of its Stock
or any Indebtedness owing to the Parent or any Affiliate thereof (other than the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries), the Borrower will notify the Administrative
Agent of its intention to make such Distribution at least 10 Business Days
prior to the proposed date of such Distribution and, if the Required Lenders
shall so require by the proposed date of such Distribution and the Borrower
shall make such Distribution, shall prepay then-outstanding Advances within five
Business Days after receipt of notice of such requirement from the
Administrative Agent in an aggregate principal amount equal to the same
proportion of the Lenders' Portion of Excess Proceeds in respect of such sale or
assignment as such Distribution bore to the Parent's Portion of Excess Proceeds
in respect of such sale or assignment, until such time as an aggregate amount
equal to the Excess Proceeds in respect of such sale or assignment shall have
been paid to the Lenders, other providers of vendor financing to the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries and the Parent.

Any prepayment pursuant to this subsection (b):

          (x) shall be applied to the prepayment, first, of a ratable principal
     amount of Tranche X Advances and Tranche Z Advances, second, of Tranche Y
     Interest Advances, and third, of Tranche Y Advances other than Tranche Y
     Interest Advances;

          (y) shall be applied to the prepayment of a ratable principal amount
     of Advances forming part of the same Loan then outstanding; and

          (z) shall not reduce the principal amount of Advances required to be
     repaid on any date pursuant to (S)3.01(a), to the extent that such Advances
     are outstanding on such date.

No prior prepayment of Advances shall reduce the principal amount of the
Advances required to be prepaid pursuant to this subsection (b).

     (c) By April 30 of each calendar year beginning in 2002, the Borrower shall
prepay





                                      -65-
<PAGE>

outstanding Tranche X Advances in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
lesser of:

          (i) (A) 50% of any Excess Cash Flow in respect of the immediately
          preceding fiscal year, multiplied by

              (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal
          amount of the Tranche X Advances then outstanding, and the denominator
          of which is the aggregate principal amount then outstanding of all
          Tranche X Advances and all other loans under each Permitted Loan
          Agreement that are required to be prepaid out of Excess Cash Flow, and

          (ii) the amount, if any, by which the aggregate principal amount of
     the Tranche X Advances then outstanding on the date of such prepayment
     exceeds (A) the Tranche X Borrowing Base on such date, minus (B) the amount
     calculated under clause (a)(ii) of the definition of "Tranche X Borrowing
     Base" on such date.

Any prepayment pursuant to this subsection (c) shall be applied to the
prepayment of a ratable principal amount of Tranche X Advances forming part of
the same Tranche X Loan then outstanding and shall not reduce the principal
amount of Tranche X Advances required to be repaid on any date pursuant to
(S)3.01(a), to the extent that such Tranche X Advances are outstanding on such
date.  No prior prepayment of Advances shall reduce the principal amount of the
Advances required to be prepaid pursuant to this subsection (c).

     (d) The Borrower shall prepay all outstanding Advances, and the Lenders'
Commitments hereunder shall terminate, upon the termination of the Equipment
Acquisition Agreement as a result of a default thereunder by the Borrower.

     (e) (i) August 4, 1999, February 4, 2000 and August 4, 2000, the
     Borrower shall prepay Tranche X Advances in a principal amount that is
     equal to the lesser of:

              (A) the amount by which the aggregate principal amount of Tranche
          X Advances and Tranche Z Advances outstanding on the immediately
          preceding Test Date and the aggregate principal amount of all
          Indebtedness on such Test Date under the OPCS Loan Agreement and the
          OCI Loan Agreement exceed 133 1/3% of the aggregate amount of Net
          Ericsson Related Expenses at such Test Date (assuming for purposes of
          such calculation that unfilled purchase orders outstanding on such
          Test Date, or delivered on or prior to the related date on which a
          prepayment would be required under this subsection (e), for the

     be included as Net Ericsson Related Expenses and including in such amount
     the purchase price of equipment delivered but not fully paid for and for
     which the remaining purchase price is reasonably expected to be payable
     within the six months following such Test Date), and

          (B) the amount by which the aggregate principal amount of all Advances
     outstanding on such Test Date (other than Tranche Y Interest Advances) and
     the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness outstanding on such Test
     Date under the OPCS Loan Agreement and the OCI Loan Agreement exceed 150%
     of the aggregate amount of Net Ericsson Related Expenses at such Test Date
     (assuming for purposes of such calculation that unfilled purchase orders
     outstanding on such Test Date, or delivered on or prior to the related date
     on which a prepayment would be required under this subsection (e), for the
     delivery of equipment within the six months following such Test Date would
     be included as Net Ericsson Related Expenses and including in such amount
     the purchase price of equipment delivered but not fully paid for and for
     which the remaining purchase price is reasonably expected to be payable
     within the six months following such Test Date).

     (ii) On February 4, 2001 and August 4, 2001, the Borrower shall prepay
Tranche X Advances and Tranche Y Advances in a principal amount that is equal to
the amount by which the aggregate principal amount of all Advances outstanding
on the immediately preceding Test Date (other than Tranche Y Interest Advances)
and the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness outstanding on such Test
Date under the OPCS Loan Agreement and the OCI Loan Agreement exceed 150% of the
aggregate amount of Net Ericsson Related Expenses at such Test Date (for
purposes of such calculation at February 4, 2001 but not August 4, 2001, (A)
assuming that unfilled purchase orders outstanding on such Test Date, or
delivered on or prior to the February 4, 2001 for the delivery of equipment
within the six months following such Test Date would be included as Net Ericsson
Related Expenses and (B) including in such amount the purchase price of
equipment delivered but not fully paid for and for which the remaining purchase
price is reasonably expected to be payable within the six months following such
Test Date). Any prepayment pursuant to this subsection (ii) shall be applied at
the Borrower's option to the principal amount of Tranche X Advances and/or to
Tranche Y Advances.

     (iii)  "Test Date" means each January 30 and July 30.

          (iv) Any prepayment pursuant to this subsection (e):

                (A) shall be applied to the prepayment of a ratable principal
          amount of Advances forming part of the same Loan then outstanding;

                (B) of Tranche Y Advances shall be applied first to Tranche Y
          Advances other than Tranche Y Interest Advances; and

                (C) shall not reduce the principal amount of Advances required
          to be repaid on any date pursuant to (S)3.01(a), to the extent that
          such Advances are outstanding on such date.

No prior prepayment of Advances shall reduce the principal amount of the
Advances required to be prepaid pursuant to this subsection (e).

          (f) (i) If on any date the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
     Tranche X Advances shall exceed either the Tranche X Maximum Commitments or
     the Tranche X Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall prepay the then-
     outstanding balance of Tranche X Advances by an amount equal to such
     excess.

          (ii) If on any date the Tranche X Borrowing Base shall have been
     reduced by reason of clause (a) of the definition thereof by reason of any
     amounts that shall have become Restricted Ericsson Expenses as of such
     date, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Tranche Z
     Advances then outstanding that is equal to the excess, if any, of the
     amount of such reduction over the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche
     X Advances prepaid on such date pursuant to clause (i) above for reasons
     attributable to such reduction. For purposes of the preceding sentence, any
     prepayment of Tranche X Advances on any date shall be attributed, first, to
     reductions as of such date for reasons other than reductions by reason of
     any amounts that shall have become Restricted Ericsson Expenses as of such
     date, and second, to reductions by reason of any amounts that shall have
     become Restricted Ericsson Expenses as of such date.

          (iii) If on any date the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
     Tranche Z Advances shall exceed the Tranche Z Maximum Commitments, the
     Borrower shall prepay such excess.

          (iv) Any such prepayment shall be applied to the prepayment of a
     ratable aggregate principal amount of the applicable Advances forming part
     of the same Loan

                                      -68-
<PAGE>

as the Borrower shall specify, and shall be applied to the ratable reduction of
the amounts by which the Advances are required to be repaid on any date pursuant
to (S)3.01(a). No prior prepayment of Advances shall reduce the principal amount
of the Advances required to be prepaid pursuant to this subsection (f).

          (v) For purposes of this subsection (f), the Tranche X Maximum
     Commitments and the Tranche Z Maximum Commitments shall be deemed to
     continue to be outstanding after the Termination Date (although the undrawn
     amount thereof shall not be available to be drawn) and shall continue to be
     subject to reduction as provided in (S)2.12 and in the definitions of
     "Tranche X Maximum Commitments" and "Tranche Z Maximum Commitments".

     (g) The Borrower shall prepay all outstanding Tranche Y Advances:

          (i) on February 4, 2003 (except as otherwise provided below) if, on
     each Trading Day during the 547-day period preceding such date, the Market
     Price of Omnipoint Common Stock exceeded $40.00 per share (adjusted for any
     stock combinations or splits after the date hereof); and

          (ii) on any date that is

               (A) after February 4, 2003 and

               (B) on the 365th day after any date after February 4, 2002
          (except as otherwise provided below) on which the Market Price of
          Omnipoint Common Stock shall have exceeded $40.00 per share (adjusted
          for any stock combinations or splits after the date hereof) on each
          Trading Day during a period of 182 consecutive days;

provided that the Borrower shall not be required to make such prepayment if the
--------
Market Price of Omnipoint Common Stock shall have been less than $40.00 per
share (adjusted for any stock combinations or splits after the date hereof) on
any Trading Day after such period of 182 consecutive days and prior to the
prepayment date.

          Notwithstanding the preceding sentence of this subsection (g) or any
     other provision of this Agreement pursuant to this subsection (g):

          (1) If at the date on which a prepayment otherwise would be due, the
     Borrower shall have elected to repay the Tranche Y Advances and interest
     thereon by



                                      -69-
<PAGE>


     delivery of Omnipoint Common Stock and cannot pay all such amounts by such
     delivery by reason of (S)2.07(b)(VIII), on such date the Borrower shall be
     required to prepay only a ratable aggregate principal amount of such
     Tranche Y Advances forming part of the same Tranche Y Loans that is equal
     to the maximum amount that may be prepaid subject to the limitations of
     such Section. In such event, at the end of each 60-day period thereafter
     the Borrower (A) if electing to prepay such Tranche Y Loans in cash, will
     prepay all remaining Tranche Y Advances in cash and (B) otherwise will
     prepay the maximum ratable aggregate principal amount of Tranche Y Advances
     forming part of the same Tranche Y Loan that may be prepaid by delivery of
     Omnipoint Common Stock subject to the limitation set forth in such Section.

          (2) If on the date on which a prepayment otherwise would be required
     under clause (i) or (ii) above, the Borrower shall have elected to make
     such payment by delivery of Omnipoint Common Stock but shall be prevented
     from making such payment on such date by reason of (S)2.07(b)(V) insofar as
     the provisions thereof apply to a default by a Significant Subsidiary, such
     prepayment shall not be required hereunder until the date that is six
     months after the date on which a prepayment would otherwise be required to
     be made under clause (i) or (ii). No decrease in the price of Omnipoint
     Common Stock during any period in which a mandatory prepayment shall have
     been deferred pursuant to this subsection (2) shall affect the requirement
     that the Tranche Y Advances be paid as provided in this subsection (g) on
     the date to which such mandatory prepayment shall have been deferred.

          (h) On any date on which the Tranche Y Maximum Commitments shall have
     been reduced pursuant to (S)2.12(c)(ii) or (d), the Borrower shall prepay a
     ratable aggregate principal amount of Tranche Y Advances forming part of
     the same Tranche Y Loans equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate
     principal amount of the Tranche Y Advances then outstanding over the
     Tranche Y Maximum Commitments as of such date.

          (i) On any date that would otherwise be the Tranche Y Maturity Date by
     reason of clause (a) of the definition thereof but for a postponement of
     such date as provided in such clause, the Borrower shall prepay a ratable
     aggregate principal amount of Tranche Y Advances forming part of the same
     Tranche Y Loans equal to the greatest principal amount of Tranche Y Loans
     that may be prepaid by delivery of Omnipoint Common Stock, subject to the
     limitation set forth in (S)2.07(b)(VIII).

     Section 3.03.  Optional Prepayments of Loans.  (a)  The Borrower may,
                    -----------------------------
except as provided below upon at least two Business Days' notice to the
Administrative Agent (or upon



                                      -70-
<PAGE>

one Trading Day's notice, in the case of prepayments by delivery of Omnipoint
Common Stock pursuant to (S)2.07(b)), stating the proposed prepayment date and
the aggregate principal amount of the Advances to be prepaid, and the tranche of
the Advances to be prepaid on such date, and if such notice is given the
Borrower shall, except as otherwise provided in this (S)3.03, prepay such
outstanding principal amount of the Advances of the tranche specified then
outstanding in whole or ratably in part. Any such prepayment of less than the
entire aggregate principal amount of the Advances then outstanding shall be
applied to the prepayment of a ratable aggregate principal amount of Advances
forming part of the same Loans, and any such prepayment of Tranche Y Advances
shall be applied, first, to Tranche Y Interest Advances and, second, to Tranche
Y Advances other than Tranche Y Interest Advances. Any prepayment of Tranche X
Advances or Tranche Z Advances pursuant to this (S)3.03 shall be applied to the
reduction of the amounts by which such Advances are required to be repaid
pursuant to (S)3.01(a) on the repayment dates next occurring after the date of
such prepayment.

     (b) The Borrower may irrevocably waive any rights it may have under
subsection (a) above to make any optional prepayments of Tranche Y Advances by
delivery of Omnipoint Common Stock by delivery of a written waiver to that
effect.

     Section 3.04.  Certain Matters Relating to Repayments and Prepayments.  (a)
                    ------------------------------------------------------
On the date on which Advances are to be repaid or prepaid, and if less than all
Loans are to be repaid or prepaid, if the Second LIBOR Method is applicable and
if both Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans are outstanding, the Borrower will
specify whether the Loan to be repaid or prepaid shall be a Base Rate Loan or a
LIBOR Loan and, if a LIBOR Loan is to be repaid or prepaid and more than one
LIBOR Loan is outstanding, which such LIBOR Loan shall be prepaid.

     (b) All prepayments and repayments pursuant to this Article III shall be
accompanied by such additional amounts as are sufficient to pay accrued and
unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Advances then being prepaid or
repaid.


                                   ARTICLE IV

         ILLEGALITY, INCREASED COSTS, CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND INDEMNITIES
         -------------------------------------------------------------

     Section 4.01.  Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if
                    ----------
any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation
or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain
LIBOR Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders and thereupon

                                      -71-
<PAGE>

          (a) the Commitments of such Lender to make LIBOR Loans shall forthwith
     be suspended until such notifying Lender shall have notified the
     Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstance giving rise to
     such determination no longer exists (and if such notifying Lender shall
     determine that such circumstance no longer exists it shall so notify the
     Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly after determining the same),
     and

          (b) the aggregate principal amount of such Lender's LIBOR Loans, if
     any, shall be Converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of
     each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loans or within such earlier
     period as may be required by applicable law.

Such Lender will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such
designation will avoid the need for any suspension or Conversions described in
the preceding sentence and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

     Section 4.02.  Additional Costs and Capital Adequacy.  (a)  If any present
                    -------------------------------------
or future applicable law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes,
rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent
court having jurisdiction with respect thereto or by any governmental or other
regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the
interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any
time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender
or the Administrative Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or
other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall

          (i) impose or increase or render applicable (other than to the extent
     specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) any special-deposit,
     reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar
     requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held
     by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an
     office of any Lender, or

          (ii) impose on any Lender or the Administrative Agent any other
     conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan
     Documents, such Lender's Commitments, or any class of loans, or commitments
     of which any of the Loans or such Lender's Commitments form a part,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of
making,

                                      -72-
<PAGE>

funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Advances or such
Lender's Commitment (taking into account such Lender's then-existing policies
with respect to maintaining capital), then the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, within 15 days after demand
from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to
compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances,
for such increased costs.

     (b) If any law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) or the interpretation thereof
by a court or governmental authority with appropriate jurisdiction, that in any
case becomes effective after the date hereof, affects the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender and such Lender determines that the amount of capital
required to be maintained by it is increased by or based upon the existence of
such Lender's commitment with respect to any Advances, the Borrower will pay to
such Lender, within 15 days after demand from time to time as specified by such
Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such
corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender
reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence
of such Lender's commitment to lend hereunder.

     (c) Each demand by a Lender pursuant to this (S)4.02 shall be accompanied
by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand and
the computation of such amount, including any method by which such cost was
allocated to the Borrower. In determining the amount of any compensation, such
Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods set forth in such
demand, and any such methods so used shall be binding on the Borrower. The
amount specified in any such demand shall be conclusive evidence of the amount
owing, absent manifest error. Such Lender will designate a different Applicable
Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for or reduce the amount
of any compensation under this (S)4.02 and will not, in the judgment of such
Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. By making any payment under
this (S)4.02, the Borrower is not waiving its right to contest that the amounts
set forth in the certificates are based on manifest error.

     Section 4.03.  Taxes.   (a)  Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder
                    -----
or under the Notes shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case
                                                        ---------
of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and
franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of income taxes, by the jurisdiction under
the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be)
is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each
Lender, taxes

                                      -73-
<PAGE>

imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of income
taxes, by the jurisdiction of such Lender's Applicable Lending Office or any
political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to
as "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from
   -----
or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or
the Administrative Agent,

          (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that
     after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
     additional sums payable under this (S)4.03) such Lender or the
     Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the
     sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,

          (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, and

          (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
     taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

     (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or
documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar
levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the
execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").
                                                    -----------

     (c) The Borrower will indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent
for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this (S)4.03) paid by such
Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability
(including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto.  This indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date such
Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

     (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower
will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in
(S)12.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment
thereof. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes by or on behalf
of the Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or on
behalf of the Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if the
Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the Borrower
shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Administrative
Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Administrative
Agent stating that such payment is exempt from

                                      -74-
<PAGE>

Taxes.  For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e) below, the terms
"United States" and "United States person" shall have the meanings specified in
 -------------       --------------------
(S)7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

     (e) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the
United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this
Agreement in the case of each initial Lender and on the date of the Assignment
and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other
Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower
(but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide
the Borrower with Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224, as appropriate, or
any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service,
certifying that such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of
United States withholding tax on payments of interest pursuant to this Agreement
or the Notes.  If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first
becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding
tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered
excluded from "Taxes" as defined in (S)4.03(a).  If any form or document
referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other
than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required
on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form 1001 or 4224, that the
Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender shall give notice
thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or
document such confidential information.

     (f) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the
Borrower with the appropriate form described in (S)4.03(e) (other than if such
                                                            ----- ----
failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a
form originally was required to be provided, or if such form otherwise is not
required under the first sentence of subsection (e) above), such Lender shall
not be entitled to indemnification under (S)4.03(a) with respect to Taxes
imposed by the United States; provided that should a Lender become subject to
                              --------
Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower
shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request and at such
Lender's expense to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

     (g) If the Borrower is required to pay any amounts to or for the account of
any Lender pursuant to this (S)4.03, such Lender will designate a different
Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for or reduce
the amount of any such payment and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.


     Section 4.04.  Survival.   Without prejudice to the survival of any other
                    --------
agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the
Borrower contained in this

                                      -75-
<PAGE>

Article IV shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder
and under the Notes.

<PAGE>

provisions of ERISA and, to the extent applicable, the IRC, including the

Plan and each Multiemployer Plan. To the extent applicable, the Borrower has
heretofore delivered to the Administrative Agent the most recently completed
annual report, Form 5500, with all required attachments, and actuarial statement
required to be submitted under (S)103(d) of ERISA, with respect to each
Guaranteed Pension Plan.

     (b) Under each Employee Benefit Plan that is an employee welfare benefit
plan within the meaning of (S)3(1) or (S)3(2)(B) of ERISA, no benefits are due
unless the event giving rise to the benefit entitlement occurs prior to plan
termination (except as required by Title I, Subtitle B, Part 6 of ERISA). The
Borrower, each of its Subsidiaries and each ERISA Affiliate may terminate each

Guaranteed Pension Plan and no amendment with respect to which security is
required under (S)307 of ERISA has been made or is reasonably expected to be
made to any Guaranteed Pension Plan.  Based on the latest valuation of each
Guaranteed Pension Plan (which in each case occurred within 12 months prior to
the date of this representation), and on the actuarial methods and assumptions
employed for that valuation, the aggregate benefit liabilities of all such
Guaranteed Pension Plans within the meaning of (S)4001 of ERISA did not exceed
the aggregate value of the assets of all such Guaranteed Pension Plans,
disregarding for this purpose the benefit liabilities and assets of any
Guaranteed Pension Plan with assets in excess of benefit liabilities.

     (d) None of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate
has incurred or expects to incur any material liability (including secondary
liability) to any

Multiemployer Plan intends to terminate or has been terminated under (S)4041A of

          shall own, directly or indirectly, legal or beneficially, more than
          30% of the Voting Stock of the Borrower then outstanding; or

               (iii) all of each series and class of issued and outstanding
          shares of Stock of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries shall
          cease to be pledged as security for the obligations of the Borrower,
          the other Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries hereunder and

          (q) there shall occur in the judgment of the Required Lenders any
     change in the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations,

     reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of

notice to the Borrower, (i) declare the obligation of each Lender to make
Advances to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and/or
(ii) declare the Notes, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable,

                            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
                            ------------------------

          Section 11.01.  Authorization and Action.  Each Lender appoints and
                          ------------------------
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf
and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof
and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably
incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan
Documents (including enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Administrative
Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but
shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected
in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required
Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided that
                                                                  --------
the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes
the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this
Agreement or applicable law. The Administrative Agent will give to each Lender
prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement.

          Section 11.02.  Administrative Agent's Reliance, Etc.  Neither the
                          ------------------------------------
Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees
shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under
or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limitation of the generality of the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

          (a) may treat the Lender that made any Advance as the holder of the
     Indebtedness resulting therefrom until the Administrative Agent receives
     and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by such Lender, as
     assignor, and an assignee, as provided in (S)12.07;

          (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan
     Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and
     shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good
     faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or
     experts;

          (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be
     responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations
     (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan Documents;

                                     -140-
<PAGE>

          (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the
     performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of
     any Loan Document on the part of any Loan Party or to inspect the property
     (including the books and records) of any Loan Party;

          (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution,
     legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of,
     or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or
     purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or
     any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto;

          (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document
     by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or
     writing (which may be by telegram, telecopy, cable or telex) believed by it
     to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; and

          (g) shall incur no liability as a result of any determination whether
     the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents constitute a "highly
     leveraged transaction" within the meaning of the interpretations issued by
     the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
     and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

          Section 11.03.  Ericsson and Affiliates.  With respect to its
                          -----------------------
Commitments, the Advances made by it and the Note issued to it, Ericsson and any
other Administrative Agent in its individual capacity shall have the same rights
and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term "Lender" or
"Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Ericsson in its
individual capacity or any other Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity.  Ericsson or any other Administrative Agent in its individual capacity
and its affiliates may a generally engage in any kind of business with, the
Borrower and any of its Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or
own securities of any Borrower or any of its Affiliates, all as if Ericsson or
any other Administrative Agent in its individual capacity were not the
Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

          Section 11.04.  Lender Credit Decision.  Each Lender acknowledges that
                          ----------------------
it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on
such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,

                                     -141-
<PAGE>

continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement.

          Section 11.05.  Indemnification.  Each Lender severally will indemnify
                          ---------------
the Administrative Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower)
from and against such Lender's ratable share of any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted
by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents; provided that no Lender
                                                      --------
shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender will reimburse the
Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and
expenses payable by the Borrower under (S)12.04, to the extent that the
Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by
the Borrower. For purposes of this (S)11.05, the Lenders' respective ratable
shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum of
(a) the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding at such time and
owing to the respective Lenders and (b) the aggregate unused portions of their
respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to reimburse the
Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount
required to be paid by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent as provided
herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to
reimburse the Administrative Agent for its ratable share of such amount, but no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse the
Administrative Agent for such other Lender's ratable share of such amount.
Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender
hereunder, the agreements and obligations of each Lender contained in this
(S)11.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other
amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

          Section 11.06.  Successor Administrative Agents.  The Administrative
                          -------------------------------
Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and
the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the
Required Lenders.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders
shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.  If no
successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the
retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Required
Lenders' removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws
of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $500,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent and upon

                                     -142-
<PAGE>

the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or
amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary
or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the
perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral
Documents, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any
retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Administrative Agent under this Agreement. A successor Administrative Agent will
notify the Borrower of its appointment promptly after its appointment.

          the transactions contemplated herein or therein or the actual or
          proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances, or

          Concern on any property of the Borrower or any environmental

except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in
a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
In the case of any investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the
indemnity in this (S)12.04(d) applies, the indemnity shall be effective whether
or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower,
its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other
Person or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not
the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.  The Borrower also shall
not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
any Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors,
officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise

law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at
any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the
account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower
now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note or Notes held by
such Lender, irrespective of whether such Lender shall have made any demand

     Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than
     $5,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000;

          (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall

               (B) deliver a copy of such Assignment and Acceptance to the
          Borrower at the time it delivers a copy to the Administrative Agent;

          (iv) unless the Borrower shall have consented thereto, no such
     assignment of undrawn commitments shall be made:

               (A) except to a Person that shall have represented that it has a
          combined capital and surplus in excess of $50,000,000, and

               (B) except to a Person, other than a commercial bank or other
          financial institution, that shall have represented that such Person is
          not engaged in, and does not have an Affiliate that is engaged in, the
          business of providing PCS telecommunications services to the public;
          and

          (v) in the case of any proposed assignment by Ericsson (in its
     capacity as a Lender) of any portion of its rights and obligations
     hereunder to a Person other than a Person at least 45% of the voting stock
     of which is owned by Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson and/or its
     Subsidiaries, Ericsson shall give the Borrower at least two-month's written
     notice of such proposed assignment.

          (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent
     that rights and obligations hereunder and under the Intercreditor Agreement
     have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have
     the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and thereunder, and

          (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights
     and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such
     Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its
     obligations under this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement (and, in
     the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining
     portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this
     Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

Ericsson shall consider in good faith any assignment of all or a portion of its
Commitments, the outstanding Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by
it to any Person that the Borrower may propose from time to time; provided that
                                                                  --------
Ericsson shall have no obligation to enter into any such assignment.

Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with
each other and the other parties hereto as follows:

          (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such
     assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
     responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or
     representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the
     execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or

     pursuant hereto;

          (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and
     assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the
     Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its
     obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document
     furnished pursuant hereto;

          (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this
     Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and each other Loan Document,
     together with copies of the financial statements referred to in (S)5.04 and
     such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make
     its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and
     Acceptance;

          (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the

                                     -150-

     Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based
     on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,

     under this Agreement;

          (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to

each Lender from time to time (the "Register").  The entries in the Register
                                    --------

Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose

Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

assigning Lender and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to

<PAGE>

shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the
surrendered Note or Notes a new Note to the order of such assignee in an amount
equal to the Advances and/or Commitments assumed by it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained Advances or
Commitments hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an
amount equal to the Advances and/or Commitments retained by it hereunder. Such
new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the
effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be
substantially in the form of Exhibit C.
                             ---------

          (e) Each Lender may sell participations in or to all or a portion of
     its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion
     of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by
     it); provided that
          --------

          parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,

          connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this
          Agreement.

          (f) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation
     or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this (S)12.07, disclose
     to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any
     information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on
     behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the
                             --------
     assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to
     preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it
     from such Lender.
