                         US UNWIRED LICENSE AGREEMENT

    THIS AGREEMENT is entered into effective May 13th, 1998 by and between US
Unwired Inc., a Louisiana corporation ("Licensor") and Louisiana Unwired, LLC, a
Louisiana limited liability company ("Licensee").

                                    PREAMBLE

    Licensor is a Louisiana corporation with its principal place of business in
Lake Charles, Louisiana. Licensor is engaged in the business of providing
telecommunications services and products under the tradename, trademark and/or
service mark "US Unwired."

    Licensee desires to receive a license from Licensor to use the US Unwired
mark, and such other marks as Licensor may designate in writing (collectively
referred to as the "Marks") within the markets described on Exhibit A (the
"Licensed Territory") in accordance with the provisions of this License
Agreement.

    The parties therefore agree as follows:

I.  GRANT, LIMITATIONS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

     A.  Grant

        1. Subject to the remainder of this License Agreement, Licensor grants
     to Licensee, upon the terms and conditions of this License Agreement, the
     non-exclusive right, license and privilege to use the Marks in the Licensed
     Territory described on Exhibit A during the Term of this License Agreement
     to promote Personal Communications Service ("PCS").

     B.  Limitations on Grant

        1. If Licensee's rights under this License Agreement are terminated with
     respect to one or more of the markets comprising the Licensed Territory, in
     accordance with the provisions of this License Agreement, Exhibit A to this
     License Agreement and specifically the term "Licensed Territory' shall
     thereafter be deemed to apply only to the remaining market(s) as to which
     Licensee's rights under this License Agreement continue.

        2. Notwithstanding Licensee's right to utilize the Marks to promote PCS
     in the Licensed Territory, other persons possessing a license to use the
     Marks may promote telecommunications services provided by such parties
     outside of the Licensed Territory in media receiving distribution within or
     accessible by persons located in the Licensed Territory, such as regional
     magazines or newspapers, regional television and radio and World Wide Web
     pages.
<PAGE>

     C.  Acknowledgments

     Subject to the specific grants to Licensee set forth in this Section I,
Licensee acknowledges that Licensor has and retains the right to use and license
the Marks anywhere in the world, within or outside of the Licensed Territory and
that Licensee shall have no rights with regard to such use or any benefits
therefrom.

II.  TERM AND RENEWAL

     A.  Term

     The initial term of this License Agreement is one (1) year, beginning on
the date first mentioned above ("Effective Date") and ending on the day
preceding the first anniversary thereof.

     B.  Renewal

     Upon expiration of the initial term or any renewal term, this License
Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year terms unless
either party provides written notice to the other that it wishes to terminate
the License Agreement no later than ninety (90) days before the end of the then
expiring term.

III. LEGAL COMPLIANCE

     A. Licensee agrees to comply, at its own expense, with all applicable laws,
ordinances and regulations of federal, state, county or municipal authorities.
Licensee will also obtain and maintain, at its own expense, all permits,
approvals, licenses and franchises and shall make all required filings,
applications and reports to all government or administrative entities or self-
regulatory organizations as shall be necessary, from time to time, to provide
PCS and PCS related products as Licensee may then be providing, and to otherwise
engage in business, generally, throughout the Licensed Territory (collectively,
the "Permits"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensee's
obligation under this Section III. A. shall include the maintaining of
Licensee's qualifications to do business throughout the Licensed Territory and
the filing of all income and franchise tax returns with respect to Licensee's
operations. In the event that any of Licensee's material Permits is scheduled to
expire during the Term, including any renewal of such term, Licensee agrees to
comply with all requirements for extension of said Permit prior to such
expiration. Licensee shall notify Licensor in writing within five (5) days after
receipt of any notice from the FCC or any other governmental authority regarding
an actual or threatened termination or revocation of any Permit material to the
provision of PCS and PCS related products by Licensee within the Licensed
Territory, including any license by the FCC to conduct business as a provider of
telecommunications services or necessary to construct facilities relating to
telecommunications services, and shall within such time provide a copy of any
such notice to Licensor. In addition, Licensee shall notify Licensor within five
(5) days after becoming aware of the

                                                                               2
<PAGE>

commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, or the issuance of any order,
writ, injunction, award or decree of any court, agency or other governmental
instrumentality which could have a material adverse effect on the operation or
financial condition of Licensee's business as it relates to Licensee's provision
of PCS and PCS related products.

     B. To the extent that Licensee's business is dependent upon one or more
agreements with a provider of PCS and PCS related products for which Licensee
acts as a reseller, "Permits" shall include such contractual relationship and
the license granted hereunder shall be dependent upon the continuation thereof
in good standing.

     C. Licensee represents and warrants that it possesses all Permits necessary
to the conduct of its business within the Licensed Territory, including, if
applicable, any Permits necessary to permit it to act as a reseller of services
provided by others.

     D.  Business Practices

     Licensee shall maintain a competent, conscientious, trained staff. Neither
Licensor nor Licensee shall engage in any trade, practice or other activity
which is harmful to the goodwill or reflects unfavorably on the Marks or on the
reputation of Licensee, Licensor, Licensee's business or other licensees of
Licensor, or which constitutes deceptive or unfair competition, consumer fraud
or misrepresentation.

     E.  Signage, Promotion

        1. For each market in the Licensed Territory, Licensee shall, at its own
     expense, cause the US Unwired Mark to be used or incorporated with such
     reasonable prominence in such advertising and other business references to
     Licensee as may be appropriate to create a clear impression, among the
     general public, that Licensee is affiliated with the US Unwired program.
     Without limiting Licensee's obligation to comply with the foregoing,
     Licensee shall, for each market in the Licensed Territory, associate
     Licensee and the US Unwired name in the telephone "yellow pages' and 'white
     pages" directory listings, and at least cause the US Unwired Mark to be
     used or incorporated on or in each of the following, insofar as they relate
     to Licensee's business utilizing the Marks:

        (i) Licensee's customer billing statements and the accompanying
        envelopes;

        (ii) Licensee's advertising media, including without limitation, print
        advertising, brochures, marketing materials, point-of-sale materials,
        billboards and broadcast media such as radio and television advertising,
        on line advertising, home pages on the World Wide Web and other computer
        accessible information;

        (iii) The greetings, introductions or opening messages of Licensee's
        telephone operators, voice mail, telephone answering machines and other
        call answering services, in response to customer and prospective
        customer inquiries;

                                                                               3
<PAGE>

        (iv) Licensee's stationery, business cards, notices and other mailouts,
        and, to the extent practicable. any press or other media coverage
        afforded Licensee; and

        (v) Signs or displays on the exterior and interior of each of Licensee's
        facilities which interface with customers or prospective customers in
        the Licensed Territory.

        2. Licensee shall use the US Unwired Mark (or any mark substituted
     therefor by Licensor) as the principal service mark or trademark, as
     appropriate, designating PCS and PCS related products sold or distributed
     by it within the Licensed Territory. Use of the Marks shall be strictly in
     accordance with the specifications of Licensor, as amended from time to
     time.

     F.  Dealers, Agents and Retailers

     In the event that, pursuant to this License Agreement, Licensee permits its
authorized dealers, agents or retailers to use the Marks in the Licensed
Territory, such dealers, agents and retailers shall be subject to the
obligations set forth in this License Agreement and those imposed upon such
parties by Licensee; provided, however, that unless required by Licensee, such
dealers, agents and retailers need not necessarily comply with the specific
obligations of Sections III E. 1. (i), (iii) and (iv) hereof in connection with
each dealers', agents' or retailers' use or incorporation of the Marks on or in
the items therein listed.

     G.  Use of the US Unwired Trademark

     In order to protect and enhance the US Unwired Mark and the goodwill
pertaining thereto, Licensee shall use the US Unwired Mark only on or in
connection with first class, high quality PCS related equipment and related
devices (the "Wireless Communications Equipment"). Any such Wireless
Communications Equipment shall be sold or distributed only in accordance with
all applicable federal, state and local laws, including, without limitation, all
applicable FCC directives and other industry standards issued from time to time
by the CTIA, the Electronics Industries Association and comparable industry
groups, and which, if available for the type of Wireless Communications
Equipment in question, has earned a certification seal issued by the CTIA.
Licensee shall, upon execution of this Agreement, and from time to time
thereafter upon request by Licensor, promptly furnish to Licensor, at no charge,
a listing of all of the various types of Wireless Communications Equipment sold
or otherwise distributed by Licensee, and upon which or in connection with which
the US Unwired Mark is used. The nature and quality of such Wireless
Communications Equipment shall be subject to review by Licensor to ensure
compliance with this Agreement.

IV. FEES

     A.  Annual License Fee

                                                                               4
<PAGE>

     Licensee agrees to pay to Licensor an annual license fee (the "Annual
License Fee") of One Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,000.00).

     B.  Payments, Interest on Late Payments

     All fees and charges payable under this License Agreement shall be payable
in good funds at Licensor's address specified herein, or at such other address
as Licensor shall from time to time designate in writing. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Article IV, Licensor shall be entitled for reasons of
administrative convenience or otherwise to defer the date by which any fee or
charge payable by Licensee hereunder may be due. No such deferral shall be a
waiver of any of Licensor's rights hereunder. If payment of the Annual License
Fee or other fee or charge under this License Agreement is overdue, Licensee
shall pay Licensor, in addition to the overdue amount, interest on such overdue
amount from the date it was payable until paid at the rate of 1.5% per month or
the highest legal interest rate, whichever is less. Entitlement to such interest
shall be in addition to any other remedies Licensor may have.

V.   MARKS

     A.  Ownership of Marks

     Licensor is the owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Marks
(which shall include for the purposes of this Section V. all of the permits and
contractual or other arrangements (including registrations of trademarks,
service marks and domain names) relating to ownership or control of the Marks
and the like). No sublicense by Licensee pursuant to Sections III. F. shall
create any ownership interest in the Marks in Licensee or any sublicensee
thereof nor any right by Licensee to sublicense use of the Marks in the future.

     B.  General Use

     With respect to Licensee's use of the Marks pursuant to this License
Agreement, Licensee acknowledges and agrees to the following:

        1. Licensee shall use only the Marks designated by Licensor and shall
     use them only in the manner authorized and permitted by Licensor herein,
     and only in accordance with specifications of Licensor. Without limiting
     the generality of the foregoing, Licensee shall comply with Licensor's
     guidelines and directives concerning the use of the Marks or derivatives
     thereof in, or as a part of, the domain name of any World Wide Web pages or
     the names of any similar Internet locales or addresses owned by or on
     behalf of Licensee.

        2. Licensee shall use the Marks only in connection with providing PCS
     and PCS related products in the Licensed Territory.

                                                                               5
<PAGE>

  3. Licensee shall identify the Licensor as the registered owner of the Marks
in such ways as Licensor may direct, including but not limited to the
identification of Licensor as such on Licensee's invoices, order forms, receipts
and contracts.

  4. Except as provided in Section III. F. above, Licensee shall have no right
to sublicense the Marks to any other person or entity, and Licensee shall have
no right to allow its resellers, if any, to make use of the Marks. Any use by a
dealer, retailer or agent under Section III. F. shall be consistent with
Licensee's rights and responsibilities hereunder with respect to the use of the
Marks and, in no event, shall any such permitted use exceed or extend beyond
Licensee's rights hereunder to use the Marks. Licensee agrees to monitor and be
responsible for the use of the Marks by its agents, retailers and dealers and to
promptly provide or cause to be provided to Licensor upon request, from time to
time, such reasonable information concerning the use of the Marks by such
dealers, retailers and agents to permit Licensor to ascertain Licensee's
compliance hereunder. From time to time upon the reasonable request of Licensor,
Licensee shall promptly supply Licensor with a list of dealers, retailers,
agents authorized to use the Marks and/or promptly confirm whether any
particular dealers, retailers, agents remain authorized and in good standing
with respect to use of the Marks.

   5. Licensee's right to use the Marks is limited to the uses specifically
authorized under this License Agreement.

   6. Licensee and any dealers, retailers or agents designated under Section
III. F. may file and maintain trade name or fictitious name registrations in the
jurisdictions within the Licensed Territory where legally required or otherwise
appropriate to reflect the fact that Licensee is doing business as "US Unwired."
If other licensees desire to file and maintain such a trade name or fictitious
name registration pursuant to a license agreement with Licensor, Licensee shall
consent or otherwise cooperate with Licensor and such licensees in meeting the
state or local requirements to permit such trade or fictitious name
registrations to coexist. Licensee shall execute any documents deemed necessary
or desirable by Licensor or its counsel to assist Licensor in the protection or
registration of the Marks or to maintain or defend Licensor's title thereto, or
their continued validity and enforceability.

   7. Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor of any suspected infringement of
or challenge to the validity, registration or Licensor's ownership of the Marks,
which occurs in the Licensed Territory, or elsewhere, should Licensee become
aware of such. Licensor agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to institute or
otherwise defend proceedings as may be appropriate to protect the Marks,
including, to the extent necessary, defense of such proceedings following
termination of this License Agreement. In connection with any such proceedings,
Licensee agrees to execute any and all documents and to do whatever reasonable
acts and things as may, in the opinion of counsel for Licensor, be necessary or
advisable to assist Licensor in carrying out the prosecution or defense, and
Licensor

                                                                               6
<PAGE>

agrees to reimburse Licensee for all direct costs incurred by Licensee in doing
these acts and things, except that Licensee shall bear the salary costs of its
employees. Licensor shall have the sole right to institute, defend and direct
proceedings relating to the Marks and Licensee shall not file or institute any
proceedings relating to the Marks without the prior written consent of Licensor.
In the event that Licensee does file or institute any proceedings relating to
the Marks, Licensee shall promptly supply Licensor with copies of any and all
papers and materials relating to such proceedings, together with such
information relating thereto as Licensor may reasonably request. Whether or not
Licensor undertakes the prosecution or defense of a legal proceeding relating to
one or more of the Marks, Licensor's liability for damages and losses to
Licensee relating to use of one or more of the Marks (including any loss
resulting from Licensor's loss of title or ownership of the Marks or the rights
thereto) shall be limited to the amount of Annual License Fee paid by Licensee
under this License Agreement for the market(s) in which such liability is
determined for the year during which such liability is determined.

   8. The Marks are valid and serve to identify the telecommunications services
and products provided by those who are authorized to operate under the Marks.
Licensee shall not directly or indirectly contest the validity, registration or
Licensor's ownership of the Marks, any of their derivatives, any of the icons or
other marks owned by Licensor, and Licensee shall not directly or indirectly
apply for or otherwise seek to register as a trademark, service mark or design
any mark or other designation which incorporates, which is the same as or
confusingly similar to, or which may dilute Licensor's rights in and to, any of
the Marks or their derivatives, any of the icons or other marks owned by
Licensor.

   9. Licensee's use of the Marks, and the use thereof by its agents, retailers
and dealers, if any, pursuant to this License Agreement does not give Licensee
or any agent, retailer or dealer, any ownership interest or other interest in or
to the Marks, except the license granted in this License Agreement. Any and all
goodwill arising from use of the Marks shall inure solely and exclusively to the
benefit of Licensor, and upon expiration or termination of this License
Agreement and the license granted by it, no monetary amount shall be assigned as
attributable to any goodwill associated with use of the Marks by Licensee or its
agents, retailers or dealers.

   10. Licensor has and retains the following rights, among others:

     (i) To use the Marks itself, in connection with local, regional and
   national advertising and promotion, including conducting activities designed
   to enhance the goodwill associated with the Marks, and, subject to the
   provisions of Section I hereof, with directly or indirectly selling products
   and services (including telecommunications products and services) both within
   and outside the Licensed Territory;

                                                                               7
<PAGE>

     (ii) To grant licenses for use of the Marks in addition to those licenses
   already granted to existing licensees of the Marks, including granting
   licenses for use of the Marks within the Licensed Territory by persons other
   than Licensee herein with regard to telecommunications services other than
   PCS;

     (iii) To use the Marks in any manner reserved for Licensor pursuant to
   Section I; and

     (iv) To create derivatives of the Marks and exploit, promote and license
   such derivatives.

     11. In the event that any of the Marks or icons, including any trademarks,
service marks and design logos adopted after execution of this License Agreement
which become Marks, can no longer be used, Licensor reserves the right to
provide a substitute mark or design with reasonable notice to Licensee.

VI.  ADVERTISING

    Recognizing the value of advertising and the importance of the
standardization of advertising programs to the furtherance of the goodwill and
public image of the Marks, the parties agree as follows:

     A.  Licensee's Advertising

     All advertising and promotion by Licensee in any manner or medium must be
conducted in a dignified manner and must conform to the written and graphic
guidelines specified by Licensor from time to time. Licensee shall display or
otherwise employ the Marks in the manner prescribed by Licensor on all signs and
all other advertising and promotional materials used in connection with
Licensee's business, to the extent relating to PCS and PCS related products. If
requested by Licensor, Licensee at its own expense shall promptly provide to
Licensor photocopies or other photographic, mechanical, magnetic or other
representations of all print advertisements and promotional materials,
radio/television advertising sequences, graphical interface presentations and
other media presentations using the Marks which Licensee has used at any time
during the six (6) months preceding Licensor's request.

     B.  Materials Provided by Licensor

     Licensor may provide from time to time, in its sole discretion, advertising

sole discretion

     C.  Price Discretion

                                                                               8
<PAGE>

     Licensee shall have the right to sell its products and offer services at
any price Licensee may determine, and shall in no way be bound by any price
which may be recommended or suggested by Licensor.

VII.  INSURANCE

effect at all times during the term of this License Agreement, at Licensee's
expense, an insurance policy or policies protecting Licensee, Licensor and their
respective agents, officers, directors, shareholders and employees against any
demand or claim with respect to personal injury, death, or property damage, or

forfeits the right to do or transact business in one or more market(s), in which
event Licensee's rights under this License Agreement with respect to such
market(s) shall automatically terminate and this License Agreement shall
continue with respect to the remaining market(s) in the Licensed Territory for
which Licensee continues to hold all necessary FCC license(s) and Permits.

  2. if Licensee directly or indirectly contests in any court or proceeding the

  C.  Termination After Notice and Opportunity to Cure

     Each party ("Defaulting Party") shall have thirty (30) days after its
receipt from the other party ("Non-Defaulting Party") of a written notice of
termination due to a default within which to remedy such default hereunder (or,

terminate without further notice to the Defaulting Party effective immediately
upon expiration of the thirty (30) day period or such longer period as

considered severable; and if, for any reason, a portion, section, part, term
and/or provision herein is determined to be invalid and contrary to, or in
conflict with, any existing or future law or regulation by a court or agency
having valid jurisdiction, such shall not impair the operation of, or have any
other effect upon, such other portions, sections, parts, terms and/or
provisions, of this License Agreement as may remain otherwise intelligible; and

hereof; and said invalid portions, sections, parts, terms and/or provisions
shall be deemed not to be a part of this License Agreement.

TERRITORY CONTAINS PORTIONS OF MORE THAN ONE STATE, THEN THE APPLICABLE LAW

TERRITORY IS LOCATED).

    B. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Licensor or Licensee by
this License Agreement is intended to be, nor shall be deemed, exclusive of any
other right or remedy herein or by law or equity provided or permitted, but each
shall be cumulative of every other right or remedy.

    C.  Nothing herein contained shall bar Licensor's right to apply for
injunctive relief against threatened conduct that will cause it loss or damages,
under applicable equity rules, including the applicable rules for obtaining
restraining orders and preliminary injunctions.

XIV.  ATTORNEY FEES; COSTS; EXPENSES
