reduced compensation. Agent shall take no action inconsistent with, and agrees
to support, NewCo' s efforts before regulatory authorities regarding any
modification of rates. Modifications of rates may apply to both existing and
future Subscribers. Subject to applicable regulatory rules, Agent may solicit
Subscribers to purchase other products or services, including without limitation
ILEC Services offered by Agent and its Affiliates. NewCo shall owe Agent no
additional compensation for any such additional sales.

         6.4      Wireless Service Access Numbers. NewCo will furnish Wireless
Service telephone numbers for Subscribers subject to availability and
technological capacity; provided that NewCo shall (i) use its best efforts to
cause Access Numbers to be available to Agent and (ii) in making available
Access Numbers, fill Agent's requirements in its Agent's Service Territory
without discriminating against Agent relative to NewCo's other distribution
points. In the event technological or other changes or circumstances restrict or
limit NewCo's ability to furnish Wireless Service Access Numbers for


                                      -11-

<PAGE>

Subscribers, NewCo shall inform Agent and NewCo shall have no liability to Agent
hereunder for the inability to furnish such Access Numbers, except to the extent
NewCo fails to use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish such Access
Numbers.

         6.5      Technological Changes. If technological changes change the
size of NewCo's coverage area for a type of Wireless Service or impose
restrictions on the use of applicable Equipment, NewCo will provide Agent with
written notification of such changes and Agent will inform Subscribers activated
by Agent after receipt of such notice from NewCo of such changes or
restrictions. Failure by Agent to use good faith efforts to inform Subscribers
activated by Agent after receipt by Agent of such notice from NewCo of such
changes will be considered a material breach of this Agreement.

         6.6      Access to NewCo's IT Systems. NewCo shall, to the extent
technologically feasible and commercially reasonable, provide Agent access to
NewCo's new or modified Information Technology Systems ("IT Systems") put into
operation following the date of this Agreement on commercially reasonable terms
to facilitate Agent's real-time pre-ordering, ordering and customer service.
NewCo shall provide Agent with commercially reasonable advance notice of the
planned implementation of any new or modified IT Systems to enable Agent to
facilitate and complete the modification of its own IT Systems and the
interfaces between the two systems to allow the continued uninterrupted
provision of Agent's real-time pre-ordering, ordering and customer service.

                                   ARTICLE VII
            DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF AGENT REGARDING EQUIPMENT

         7.1      General Responsibilities. (a) Unless Agent elects for NewCo to
perform Equipment fulfillment, as provided for in SECTION 7.3 below, Agent
agrees to sell Equipment to be used by Subscribers of NewCo's Wireless Service.
Agent shall be responsible for the warranty service for and installation and
maintenance of such Equipment, either through its own facility or by
subcontracting with another facility. Agent agrees to offer only models of
Equipment for sale that meet quality standards set by the FCC and the
manufacturer's recommendations for use of such Equipment. In addition, Agent
recognizes and agrees that NewCo may, upon written notice to Agent, require that
Agent activate only Equipment that is IRDB-capable and loaded with NewCo's
proprietary IRDB information in any or all of NewCo's GSA's, either with respect
to specified rate plans or all rate plans in a GSA. As New Service Offerings are
developed, NewCo may specify other Equipment requirements or restrictions. At
NewCo's request Agent agrees to submit to NewCo for NewCo's approval the models
of Equipment which it proposes to sell. Agent agrees that NewCo shall have the
right to disapprove any Equipment other than Equipment which Agent purchases
from NewCo. NewCo shall not be obligated to pay any commission to Agent for any
Subscriber whom Agent enrolls on NewCo's Wireless Service with an unapproved FCC
type Equipment or Equipment which does not meet the manufacturer's
recommendations, or Equipment for which NewCo has notified Agent that such
Equipment is not suitable for NewCo Wireless Systems.

<PAGE>

         (b)      Unless Agent elects for NewCo to perform Equipment
fulfillment, as provided for in SECTION 7.3 below, (i) Subscribers that purchase
Equipment from Agent shall be customers of Agent with respect to such Equipment;
and (ii) NewCo shall have no responsibility to Agent or Subscribers with respect
to the sale, installation, warranty service for or maintenance of Equipment. The
indemnification provisions of Article XXVI of this Agreement shall apply to any
claims or demands against one party which relate to the other party's sale of
Equipment. In the event of an Equipment recall or required upgrade, the party
providing the Equipment shall be responsible for the costs associated with such
recall and/or required upgrade for those Customers to which the Equipment was
sold. The parties agree to exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain the most
advantageous support/compensation available from the Equipment vendor for the
benefit of both parties.

         7.2      Inventory. Unless Agent elects for NewCo to perform Equipment
fulfillment, as provided for in SECTION 7.3 below, Agent agrees to maintain an
inventory of approved models of Equipment sufficient to meet reasonably
anticipated demand therefor by the Subscribers whom Agent enrolls. Agent may
purchase Equipment from any available source, including NewCo. Such Equipment
shall be of the style, appearance and quality as to be adequate and suitable for
use with Wireless Service. Such Equipment will be sold to Subscribers in
accordance with all applicable law and this Agreement, including the Branding
and Advertising Guidelines.

         7.3      Product Fulfillment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent may
accept as partial consideration for its services hereunder, NewCo's product
fulfillment services. In such case, NewCo shall select Equipment, establish
competitive Equipment prices to be offered, ship Equipment to Subscribers, and
accept returns of Equipment for NewCo's own account. SECTION 7.1 AND 7.2 shall
not apply if Agent has elected to have NewCo perform Equipment fulfillment
pursuant to this SECTION 7.3.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                  COMPENSATION

         8.1      Compensation Schedule. On the date hereof, NewCo shall pay
compensation to Agent in accordance with existing terms and practices in effect
between Agent and BellSouth Cellular Corp. immediately prior to the date hereof.
Effective January 1, 2001, NewCo shall pay compensation to Agent in accordance
with the compensation schedule in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated
herein, which compensation schedule may be amended from time to time as set
forth in Exhibit B and if the parties, after good faith negotiation, mutually
agree amendments are necessary to comply with FCC regulatory accounting rules.

         8.2      Effect of Termination. Commissions and any other compensation
shall only continue to accrue as long as this Agreement is in effect, and the
expiration or termination of this Agreement shall effectively terminate Agent's
right to any further compensation that would otherwise accrue after the date of
expiration or termination, except that Agent shall receive any remaining
residual payments respecting any Subscribers activated prior to such expiration
or termination.

<PAGE>

         8.3      Right to Set Off. NewCo may withhold and offset or apply Agent
compensation against any past due amount owed to NewCo by Agent. Whenever Agent
fails to comply with any term hereof or any procedure referenced in this
Agreement or Agent does not provide complete and/or accurate information
concerning Subscribers to whom a Wireless Service is sold, or, if applicable, to
whom Equipment is sold or leased, NewCo shall have the right to withhold all or
a portion of any compensation or any other amount payable hereunder to Agent
with respect to such Wireless Service, or, if applicable, Equipment.

         8.4      Other Remedies. In the event any amount payable by Agent to
NewCo is more than thirty (30) days overdue, NewCo may, at its sole discretion,
do one or more of the following: (i) require Agent to pay its account in full;
(ii) apply Agent compensation and any other credits or other amounts payable to
Agent to reduce Agent's account payable balance; or (iii) require Agent to
deposit with NewCo an irrevocable letter of credit, cash or other form of
security deposit acceptable to NewCo in its sole discretion to secure future
delays or defaults in payment. This deposit will secure payment of any amounts
due under this Agreement.

            CESSATION OF AGENCY RELATIONSHIP FOR PACKAGE SUBSCRIBERS

         9.1      Package Services. At any time after six (6) months after the
date hereof, Agent may elect in its sole discretion to cease acting solely as
agent hereunder and begin acting as a Reseller under the Resale Agreement for
Agent and NewCo Package Subscribers, by giving NewCo not less than sixty (60)
days' prior written notice of such election under this SECTION 9.1. Such
election may be made only as to all Package Subscribers. Such election shall not
affect Agent's right to act as an Agent for NewCo in selling Wireless Services
not included in a Package.

         9.2      National Accounts. At any time after the date hereof, Agent
may elect in its sole discretion to cease acting solely as agent hereunder and
begin acting as a Reseller under the Resale Agreement for National Accounts by
giving NewCo not less than sixty (60) days' prior written notice of such
election under this SECTION 9.2. Such election shall not affect Agent's rights
under this Agreement with respect to Subscribers and Package Subscribers which
are not National Accounts.

         9.3      Use of NewCo Marks. After making the election under
SECTION 9.1 OR 9.2, Agent shall continue to have the right, but shall not be
required, to utilize the NewCo Marks pursuant to ARTICLE XIII in the provision
of Packages to Package Subscribers.

         9.4      Resale Relationship. NewCo and Agent acknowledge and agree
that, following any election under SECTION 9.1, Agent will be entitled to resell
Wireless Services to any Package Subscriber or any National Account pursuant to
the Resale Agreement. Nothing in this Agency Agreement shall restrict the
ability of Agent or its Affiliates to resell Wireless Services outside of
Agent's Service Territory pursuant to the Resale Agreement.

                                   ADVERTISING

         12.1     Guidelines. Agent agrees to advertise NewCo's Wireless Service
throughout the Agent's Service Territory in accordance with Branding and
Advertising Guidelines.

         12.2     Standards. All advertising and promotion by either Agent or
NewCo with respect to Wireless Services shall be completely factual and shall
conform to the highest standards of ethical advertising. Samples of advertising
and marketing materials which either party is using or intends to use in
connection with ILEC Services provided by the other party or products bearing
the other party's Marks, and which have not been prepared or previously approved
by the other party, shall be submitted to the other party for approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If written approval is
not received from the other party within five (5) business days after the date
of confirmation of receipt by the other party of such materials, the other party
shall be deemed to have approved the materials. Neither party shall use any
advertising or marketing materials that the other party has disapproved.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                                      MARKS

         13.1     List of NewCo Marks. NewCo will provide a list of NewCo Marks
which Agent is authorized to use under this Agreement in conjunction with the
sale of Wireless Services and products. NewCo will periodically update the list
of NewCo Marks Agent is authorized to use under this Agreement. The most current
updated list will always supersede any previously issued list. Such list will
also be supplemented with rules and regulations pertaining to the NewCo Marks
which Agent agrees to follow within sixty (60) days of receipt of written
notification of such new rules and regulations; provided that, in no event shall
Agent be required to alter advertisements which have


                                      -15-

<PAGE>

previously been published until such time as the publication in which such
advertisements or promotions which have been in place expires or otherwise
terminates.

         13.2     Right to Use NewCo Marks; Value of NewCo Marks. Agent
acknowledges that its right to use the NewCo Marks is derived solely from this
Agreement, and, if applicable, the Resale Agreement, and is limited to the right
to identify Agent as an agent of NewCo for the sale of Wireless Services or
otherwise or as a Reseller of NewCo's Wireless Services under the Resale
Agreement and to identify products and services bearing the NewCo Marks which
may be sold by Agent. Agent agrees to comply with all rules and regulations
pertaining to such NewCo Marks prescribed by NewCo from time to time during the
term of this Agreement. Agent agrees to maintain the quality and nature of the
goods and services associated with the NewCo Marks as established by NewCo.
Agent recognizes the great value of the goodwill associated with the NewCo
Marks, and acknowledges that it has no interest in the NewCo Marks and all
rights therein and goodwill pertaining thereto belong exclusively to NewCo and
its Affiliates, and that the NewCo Marks have a secondary meaning in the mind of
the public. Agent acknowledges and agrees that all usage of the NewCo Marks by
Agent and any goodwill established thereby shall inure to the exclusive benefit
of NewCo and its Affiliates and that this Agreement does not confer any goodwill
or other interests in the NewCo Marks upon Agent. Any unauthorized use of the
NewCo Marks by Agent, or any use not in compliance herewith, shall constitute an
infringement of the rights of NewCo and its Affiliates in and to the NewCo
Marks. Use of the NewCo Marks by a Subagent of Agent, except to properly
identify products and services bearing the NewCo Marks which may be sold by the
Subagent, shall constitute an infringement of the rights of NewCo in and to the
NewCo Marks.

         13.3     Use of NewCo Marks by Agent. Agent shall use the NewCo Marks
with such words qualifying or identifying the agency relationship of NewCo and
Agent as NewCo from time to time reasonably prescribes. Agent shall not use the
NewCo Marks as part of any corporate or trade name or with any prefix, suffix or
other modifying words, terms, designs or symbols, or in any modified form, nor
may Agent use the NewCo Marks in connection with the sale of any unauthorized
product or service or in any other manner not expressly authorized by this
Agreement or separately in writing by NewCo. Agent agrees to display the NewCo
Marks on stationery and other forms used in its Wireless Service business in the
manner prescribed by NewCo, to give such notices of registration as NewCo
specifies and to obtain such fictitious or assumed name registrations as may be
required under applicable law. Misuse of the NewCo Marks by Agent or its
Subagents may result in termination of this Agreement or such other remedy,
including withholding of commissions, as set forth in the Branding and
Advertising Guidelines.

         13.4     Modification of NewCo Marks. If it becomes advisable at any
time in NewCo's sole discretion for Agent to modify or discontinue use of any
Mark or substitute one or more additional trade or service NewCo Marks to
identify its relationship with NewCo or any Equipment, Agent agrees to comply
therewith within a reasonable time after notice thereof by NewCo. In addition,
Agent shall replace identification signs or identification material with new
signs or identification material.

         13.5     Protection of Rights in the NewCo Marks. (a) Agent agrees that
it will not during the term of this Agreement, or thereafter, attack the title
or any rights of NewCo or its Affiliates in and to the NewCo Marks. NewCo hereby
indemnifies Agent and undertakes to hold Agent harmless against any damages and
costs from claims or suits arising out of the use by Agent of the NewCo Marks as
authorized in this Agreement, provided that prompt notice is given to NewCo of
any such claim or suit and provided further, that NewCo or its Affiliates shall
have the option to undertake and conduct the defense of any suit so brought and
that no settlement of any such claim or suit shall be made by Agent without the
prior written consent of NewCo.

         (b)      Agent agrees to assist NewCo or its Affiliates and NewCo
agrees to reimburse Agent for all associated reasonable costs to the extent
necessary in the procurement of any protection or to protect any of NewCo's or
its Affiliates rights to the NewCo Marks, and NewCo or its Affiliates, if it or
they so desire, may commence or prosecute any claims or suits in its own name or
that of its Affiliates or in the name of Agent with Agent's approval or join
Agent as a party thereto. When known, Agent shall notify NewCo in writing of any
infringements or imitations by others of the NewCo Marks which are the same as
or similar to those covered by this Agreement. NewCo shall have the sole right
to determine whether any action shall be taken on account of any such
infringements or imitations. Agent shall not institute any suit or take any
action on account of any such infringement or imitations without first obtaining
the written consent of NewCo.

         13.6     Limitation of Use of NewCo Marks. Except as set forth in this
Article XIII, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary:

         (a)      Under no circumstances will Agent have the right to use any
NewCo Marks outside of the Agent's Service Territory, nor will NewCo have the
right to use Agent Marks outside of the Agent's Service Territory.

         (b)      After an election under SECTION 9.1 OR 9.2, Agent will have
the right, but not the obligation, to use the NewCo Marks in providing ILEC
Services to Package Subscribers or National Accounts, respectively, in the
Agent's Service Territory, or in related sales and marketing activities directed
toward them.

         (c)      Upon the Agent's exercise of its election under Section 19.2,
Agent's right and obligation to use the NewCo Marks shall cease.

                                   ARTICLE XIV
                              PERFORMANCE BY NEWCO

         14.1     Provision of Service. NewCo shall continue to provide to
customers each type of Wireless Service it provides as of the date hereof upon
the terms and conditions set forth herein, unless NewCo determines, based on
economic or other business reasons, that it will no longer provide such type of
Wireless Service. NewCo shall obtain, retain and maintain suitable facilities,
Licenses, Permits


                                      -17-

it continues to provide Wireless Services in such GSAs.

         14.2     Designated Representative. NewCo shall provide a designated
contact person to Agent for addressing any and all issues that may arise under
this Agreement, and to serve as the initial contact person for any disputes
hereunder pursuant to ARTICLE XXVII (the "NEWCO REPRESENTATIVE").

         14.3     Billing and Customer Care. NewCo shall provide billing and
customer care services consistent with such services as of the date hereof. If
Agent and NewCo enter into the Billing and Collection Agreement, Agent will bill
Package Subscribers and perform collection relating to such Package Subscribers
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Billing and Collection
Agreement.

         14.4     Compliance with Law; Permits. NewCo shall comply with all
Applicable Law in the performance of its obligations hereunder and in the
provision of Wireless Services to Subscribers. NewCo shall be responsible for
obtaining and maintaining all Permits necessary for such performance. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, NewCo shall not take or omit to take
any action that might subject NewCo or any Affiliate thereof to the loss of any
License.

         14.5     New Product Development and New Services Offering. During the
term of this Agreement NewCo and Agent may agree to develop and introduce
commercial products that integrate Wireless Services (including New Services
Offering) offered or proposed to be offered by Agent (the "INTEGRATED PRODUCTS")
with ILEC Services offered by Agent. The obligations hereunder shall extend to
Integrated Products that may function and interoperate with Agent's ILEC
Services (but not with those of the Other Agent) or with the Other Agent's ILEC
Services (but not with Agent's ILEC Services), notwithstanding that such
Integrated Products may be redundant with other Integrated Products developed by
NewCo. NewCo shall give Agent written notice in reasonable detail of Integrated
Products that it has committed to develop. The parties will have the right from
time to time to request the participation of the other party in co-development
of an Integrated Product, and the other party will consider any such requests in
good faith, provided that neither party shall have any liability for refusing to
accept any such request.

         14.6     Reasonable Cooperation. During the term of this Agreement,
NewCo shall provide Agent and Agent's Affiliates, with all information
reasonably requested by Agent and/or its Affiliates in facilitating compliance
by Agent and/or its Affiliates with all applicable Federal and State regulatory
accounting requirements in connection with the provision of the services
contemplated by this Agreement. NewCo shall also provide all reasonable
cooperation in connection with any annual audit by independent auditors in
connection with any such regulatory accounting requirements, including, without
limitation, the production of the documents necessary to substantiate the
validity of the applicable payment and/or accounting entries in connection with
the services provided by Agent under this Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Agent shall reimburse NewCo for any reasonable
expenses actually incurred by NewCo in rendering such assistance and in so
cooperating,


                                      -18-

<PAGE>

within thirty (30) days following receipt of invoices evidencing such expenses.
Any and all proprietary and confidential information produced for any such the
audit will be subject to a confidentiality agreement between Agent and NewCo as
may be agreed between the parties prior to the conduct of any such audit.

the date of their preparation full, complete and accurate records of its
business conducted pursuant to this Agreement. At NewCo's request or upon prior
notice to Agent, Agent also agrees to have available at Agent's premises records
of its Subagents conforming to the requirements imposed upon Agent by this
SECTION 15.3. Such records must include, for example, but not be limited to,
records of all Wireless Service enrollment and Equipment sales, installation and
repairs performed at Agent's facilities. Such records may be audited by NewCo at
reasonable times after reasonable notice to Agent, at NewCo's sole cost and
expense, provided that activities incidental thereto shall be conducted during
normal business hours in a manner that does not unduly interfere with Agent's
business.

         15.4     Promotion. Agent agrees to provide materials and advertising
to actively promote Wireless Services in the Agent's Service Territory in a
quality manner, and to provide appropriate sales facilities to enhance the sale
of Wireless Service.

         15.5     Subscribers' Information. Subject to the terms of ARTICLE IX
hereof, Agent agrees that during and after the term of this Agreement, Agent
will not reveal, divulge, make known, sell, exchange, give away, disclose or
transfer in any way any part of its list of Subscribers or use such information
for any purpose other than (i) Agent (but no other successor business entity)
maintaining such periodic contact with Subscribers as is required for warranty
service, installation or maintenance of Equipment, (ii) the resolution of
disputes between Agent (but not other entity's) business activities unrelated to

                        RELATIONSHIP OF NEWCO AND AGENTS

         With the sole exception of the Subscribers enrolled by Agent for the
account of NewCo, with respect to which Agent acts as agent of NewCo and owes
NewCo the fiduciary and other obligations of an agent to its principal, NewCo
and Agent acknowledge and agree that their agency relationship arising from this
Agreement does not constitute or create a general agency, joint venture,
partnership, employment relationship or franchise between them. In all dealings
with Subscribers hereunder, public officials and others, Agent shall
conspicuously identify itself as an agent of NewCo in the provision of Wireless
Service and otherwise as an independent business and shall place such notices of
its independent ownership of its business on such forms, stationery, advertising
and other materials as NewCo may reasonably require from time to time. NewCo has
not authorized or empowered Agent to use the Marks except as herein provided and
Agent shall not employ any Mark in signing any contract, lease, mortgage,
purchase agreement, negotiable instrument or other legal obligation, or in a
manner that may result in liability of NewCo (or its Affiliates) for any
indebtedness or obligation of Agent. Unless specifically authorized in writing,
neither NewCo nor Agent shall make any express or implied agreements, guarantees
or representations, or incur any debt, in the name of or on behalf of the other,
except as otherwise set forth herein.

              AND SUBAGENTS NOT DEEMED NEWCO'S EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS

         The parties agree that personnel employed by Agent to perform services
under this Agreement and Subagents of Agent are not NewCo employees and Agent
assumes full responsibility for their acts. With respect to such personnel,
Agent shall have sole responsibility for supervision, daily direction and
control. Agent shall be responsible for worker's compensation, disability
benefits, unemployment insurance and withholding and remitting income and social
security taxes for said personnel, including contributions from them as required
by law. Solely with respect to Subscribers activated hereunder, Agent shall
identify itself as acting on behalf of and as the Agent for NewCo.

                                  ARTICLE XVIII
                          ASSIGNMENT; CHANGE OF CONTROL

         18.1     Assignment. This Agreement is fully assignable by either party
to an Affiliate of such party, provided that the assigning party shall remain
responsible for the performance by the assignee of its obligations under this
Agreement so assigned, to or to any entity which succeeds to all or
substantially all of such party's assets by sale, merger or operation of law,
provided that in no event may NewCo assign its obligations under this Agreement
to any Person not licensed to provide Wireless Services in the applicable GSA.
Except as set forth in SECTION 18.2, any other assignment of this Agreement by a
party shall be subject to the written approval of the other party which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any assignment or transfer by a party that
is not expressly permitted hereby


                                      -20-

<PAGE>

without approval of the other party shall constitute a breach hereof and convey
no rights or interests herein.

         18.2     Designation. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent
acknowledges that Affiliates of NewCo are the holders of Licenses hereunder and
the owners and operators of portions of the Wireless Systems that provide

personnel and other resources reasonably necessary to fulfill the obligations of
NewCo hereunder.

this Agreement in the event Agent materially breaches any obligation hereunder,

                                   ARTICLE XXI
                      COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE; EXCLUSIVITY

         Agent acknowledges that NewCo has granted the rights herein in material
part in consideration of Agent's agreement, subject to the terms and conditions
of the Resale Agreement, to act exclusively for NewCo with respect to Wireless
Services that are Competing Services. As a consequence, during the term of this
Agreement (and any extensions thereof), subject to SECTIONS 9.1, 9.2 AND 9.4,
Agent agrees that Agent or its Affiliate will not, directly or indirectly, (a)
solicit, sell, offer or accept offers for a Competing Service in the Agent's
Service Territory, (b) induce or refer any actual or prospective Subscriber of
Wireless Service to subscribe to a Competing Service in the Agent's Service
Territory, (c) provide any subscriber leads to a Competing Service in the
Agent's Service Territory, or (d) activate Subscribers through a Reseller or act
as a Reseller of a Competing Service for any third party carrier in any GSA in
which NewCo provides Wireless Service. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed that during the term of this Agreement,
Agent may act as an agent for the provider of any services or resell any
services that are not Competing Services at the time Agent so acts.

                                  ARTICLE XXII
                SEVERABILITY AND SUBSTITUTION OF VALID PROVISIONS

         Except as expressly provided to the contrary herein, each term and
condition of this Agreement, and any portion thereof, shall be considered
severable and if, for any reason, any such provision hereof is held to be
invalid, contrary to, or in conflict with any applicable present or future law,
regulation or public policy in a final, unappealable ruling issued by any court,
agency or tribunal with competent jurisdiction in a proceeding to which either
party is a party, that ruling shall not impair the operation of, or have any
other effect upon, such other portions of this Agreement as may remain otherwise
enforceable, which shall continue to be given full force and effect and bind the
parties hereto.

                                  ARTICLE XXIII
                              WAIVER OF OBLIGATIONS


                                      -23-

<PAGE>

         NewCo or Agent may by written instrument unilaterally waive or reduce
any obligation of or restriction upon the other under this Agreement, effective
upon delivery of written notice thereof to the other and such other effective
date stated in the notice of waiver.

         Whenever this Agreement requires the consent of a party, such request
shall be in writing and no consent may be unreasonably withheld. All consents or
withholding of consent with reasons therefor shall be in writing. Neither party
makes any guarantees upon which the other may rely, and assumes no liability or
obligation to the other, by granting any waiver, approval or consent to the
other, or by reason of any neglect, delay or denial of any request therefor. Any
waiver granted by either Party shall be without prejudice to any other right
that party may have, will be subject to continuing review, and may be revoked,
at the waiving Party's sole discretion, at any time and for any reason,
effective upon delivery to the other of ten (10) days' prior written notice.

         Neither party shall be deemed to have waived or impaired any right,
power or option reserved by this Agreement including, without limitation, the
right to demand exact compliance with every term, condition and covenant herein,
or to declare any breach hereof to be a default and to terminate this Agreement
prior to the expiration of its term), by virtue of any custom or practice of the
Parties at variance with the terms hereof or any failure, refusal or neglect of
such party to exercise any right under this Agreement or to insist upon exact
compliance by the other with its obligations hereunder.

                                  ARTICLE XXIV
                        RIGHTS OF PARTIES ARE CUMULATIVE

         The rights of NewCo and Agent hereunder are cumulative and no exercise
or enforcement by NewCo or Agent of any right or remedy hereunder shall preclude
the exercise or enforcement by NewCo or Agent of any other right or remedy
hereunder of which NewCo or Agent is entitled by law to enforce.

                                   ARTICLE XXV
                            CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

         25.1     Confidential Information. Agent may transmit to NewCo and
NewCo may receive from Agent, certain Confidential Proprietary Information of
Agent relating to the Agent's services, accounts, marketing techniques,
forecasts, or business. NewCo may transmit to Agent, and Agent may receive from
NewCo certain Confidential Proprietary Information of NewCo relating to its
Wireless Services, facilities, equipment or business. For purposes of this
paragraph, Confidential Proprietary Information shall be defined as any
information and documentation marked or labeled as "Confidential" or
"Proprietary" (or similar legend) and any oral information confirmed in writing
within fifteen (15) days after disclosure as "Confidential" or "Proprietary" (or
similar legend) by the disclosing party, including, without limitation, revenue
reports, names and Subscribers billing and usage information, and shall also


                                      -24-

<PAGE>

include the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The term "confidential"
herein is meant to include both "confidential information" and "trade secrets"
under New York law and the use of a confidential legend shall not be construed
to be determinative of the status of any information as "confidential
information" or a "trade secret".

         25.2     Obligation Not to Disclose. The receiving party shall maintain
the confidentiality of the disclosing party's Confidential Proprietary
Information furnished in oral, visual, written, and/or other tangible form and
shall not disclose such information to any third party, except as authorized by
the disclosing party in writing. To the extent possible, each party further
agrees to keep confidential the terms of this Agreement.

         25.3     Standard of Care. The receiving party agrees to restrict
disclosure of the disclosing party's Confidential Proprietary Information to its
employees, agents, attorneys, and representatives who have a "need to know". The
receiving party agrees that such Confidential Proprietary Information shall be
handled with the same degree of care which the receiving party applies to its
own similar confidential information (but in no event less than reasonable
care).

         25.4     Precautions. The receiving party agrees to take precautions
necessary and appropriate to guard the confidentiality of the disclosing party's
Confidential Proprietary Information including informing its employees, agents,
attorneys, and representatives who handle such Information that it is
confidential and not to be disclosed to any third party, except as authorized by
the disclosing party in writing.

         25.5     Ownership of Information. The receiving party agrees that the
disclosing party's Confidential Proprietary Information is and shall at all
times remain the property of the disclosing party. No use of such Information is
permitted except as otherwise provided herein and no grant under any of the
disclosing party's intellectual property rights is hereby given or intended
including any license implied or otherwise.

         25.6     Use. The receiving party agrees to use the disclosing party's
Confidential Proprietary Information only for purposes of fulfilling its
obligations under this Agreement.

         25.7     Exceptions. The parties agree to exclude from the provision of
this Agreement and the obligations of confidentiality: Information which the
receiving party already had in its possession without confidential limitation at
the time of disclosure by the disclosing party; information which is
independently developed by the receiving party without breach of this Agreement;
information known or that becomes known to the general public without breach of
the Agreement by the receiving party; and information that is received
rightfully without confidential limitation by the receiving party from a third
party; and information that is disclosed pursuant to lawful process or
applicable regulatory authority.

         25.8     Consequences of Termination. Upon termination of this
Agreement, all Confidential Proprietary Information transmitted to the receiving
party by the disclosing party in record bearing media or other tangible form,
and any copies thereof made by the receiving party shall be, at the


                                      -25-

<PAGE>

disclosing party's written request, destroyed or returned to the disclosing
party, except that the receiving party shall be entitled to retain a secure copy
of the disclosing party's confidential Proprietary Information for archival
purposes only. The receiving party's obligations under this Agreement to keep
confidential and restrict use of the disclosing party's Confidential Proprietary
Information shall survive such completion or termination of this Agreement for a
period of three (3) years, provided, however, that such obligation shall
continue indefinitely as to any information constituting a trade secret under
applicable law.

the acts or omissions of the Agent or its subcontractors, or the employees or
agents of any of them, and (b) by Agent's employees under worker's compensation

         26.3     Procedures with Respect to Indemnification. All indemnities
created in this Agreement shall include indemnification of the indemnitee's

is named as a defendant


                                      -26-

<PAGE>

at its own cost and expense. The indemnities created by this Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding the
expiration or termination of this Agreement. Provisions for indemnification in
this Agreement are not in lieu of and do not supplant insurance coverage
required in the Agreement, and are not intended to act as insurance.

                                  ARTICLE XXVII

         Churn Rate is the number of Subscribers activated by Agent ("Agent
         Subscribers") who disconnect their service in a calendar month
         ("Disconnects") divided by the number of active Agent Subscribers on
         the first day of the month ("Beginning of Period Subs") plus the number
         of active Agent Subscribers on the last day of the month ("End of
         Period Subs") divided by two (2) (i.e. (Disconnects/((Beginning of
         Period Subs + End of Period Subs)/2))). The Average 3 Month Churn Rate
         is the average of the Churn Rates for the three (3) monthly periods
         preceding the commission payment date.

A. In order to be paid, AGENT must submit all deposits, earnest payments and
appropriate paperwork to NEWCO no later than fifteen (15) days from the date the
service request was submitted to NEWCO by the AGENT. No compensation will be
paid unless all paperwork is accurately completed to NEWCO's satisfaction and in
accordance with NEWCO's procedures. Additionally, NEWCO shall not be obligated
to pay any compensation to AGENT for any Subscriber whom AGENT enrolls on
NEWCO's POWS with any unapproved FCC type Equipment, Equipment which does not
meet the manufacturer's recommendations, or Equipment with respect to which
NEWCO has advised AGENT is unapproved by NEWCO. In order to ensure that
compensation is appropriately credited to AGENT's account, AGENT must supply
NEWCO with the correct security code when submitting activations.

If, notwithstanding the above, NEWCO pays AGENT compensation for a Subscriber
before all paperwork is processed, NEWCO may, in its discretion deduct such
payment from amounts otherwise owed to AGENT by NEWCO. If such amount is not
deducted by NEWCO, due to the insufficiency of amounts otherwise owed to AGENT
by NEWCO, such amount shall be paid by AGENT to NEWCO within 30 days after NEWCO
notifies AGENT that the repayment is due. After such deduction or payment is
made, if AGENT submits all completed, appropriate paperwork for such Subscriber
within ninety (90) days from the date of such deduction, NEWCO shall repay to
AGENT the amount due as compensation for such Subscriber.

B. AGENT is responsible for obtaining and remitting to NEWCO the deposit, if
any, required from Subscribers enrolled by AGENT. If NEWCO does not receive such
deposit within thirty (30) days of the Subscriber's activation date, NEWCO may,
in its discretion, deduct the amount of such deposit from amounts otherwise owed
to AGENT by NEWCO. If such amount is not deducted by NEWCO, due to the
insufficiency of amounts otherwise owed to AGENT by NEWCO, such payment shall be
made by AGENT to NEWCO within thirty (30) days after NEWCO notifies AGENT that
the payment is due.

C. If AGENT activates a Subscriber, and on the date of submission of the
Subscriber the equipment is not installed or picked up by the Subscriber, or if
the Subscriber returns the equipment (a "No-install"), AGENT agrees to notify
NEWCO of the No-install by the close of business on the second day (or such
longer reasonable period as may be consistent with Agent's current procedures,
but in no event more than ___ days) following the submission of the activation
to NEWCO. If AGENT fails to notify NEWCO of the No-install within the above
time, AGENT agrees to pay NEWCO, or allow NEWCO to deduct from compensation
otherwise due to AGENT, the sum of $50.00 per No-install to compensate NEWCO for
the costs incurred in processing the No-install. NEWCO shall also have the right
to deduct any compensation which was paid for such a No-install.


<PAGE>

D. If AGENT fails to notify a Subscriber of any charges due for NEWCO's POWS,
including activation fees, access charges, or per minute charges, or if AGENT
misrepresents or provides inadequate information about any such charges, the
size of the coverage area, or anything else about NEWCO's POWS to a Subscriber,
NEWCO shall have the right to deduct from commissions otherwise due to AGENT, or
AGENT agrees to pay NEWCO upon demand, an amount equal to any amount which NEWCO
pays to or allows the Subscriber for such charges of which the Subscriber was
not notified or which were misrepresented to the Subscriber. Further, if AGENT
fails to program any Subscriber Equipment correctly and according to
recommendations made and/or standards set by the manufacturer and/or NEWCO,
NEWCO shall have the right to deduct from compensation otherwise due to AGENT,
or AGENT agrees to pay NEWCO upon demand, an amount determined by NEWCO for
correcting such faulty programming.

E. NewCo may, in its sole discretion, impose a reasonable charge (in no event to
exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the applicable commission) upon Agent in
connection with equipment vendor-initiated Equipment changes initiated by Agent
for a Subscriber.

F. No compensation will be paid to AGENT for numbers activated by, and in the
name of, AGENT, its Subagents, affiliates, employees, any person included in the
definition of AGENT, and the like, if NEWCO determines such activations are for
rental or other resale purposes.

                      CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL OPTIONS

A. The above compensation shall be paid within thirty (30) working days
following the close of the commission cycle in the Market in which the
Subscriber was activated on NEWCO's service. AGENT will not be paid for
Subscribers who subscribe to NEWCO's service outside of any area specified in
this Agreement. NEWCO reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to
change the period used to determine payment of AGENT compensation. AGENT shall
be notified in writing of any change in such period.

B. If a Subscriber does not complete 180 days of continuous active service (as
defined in Section V of this Exhibit A) in the Market in which the Subscriber
began using NEWCO's service, AGENT shall be required to repay to NEWCO the
amount of compensation paid by NEWCO to AGENT for such Subscriber. Such
repayment may be deducted by NEWCO from amounts otherwise owed to AGENT by
NEWCO. If such amount is not deducted by NEWCO, such repayment shall be made by
AGENT to NEWCO within thirty (30) days after NEWCO notifies AGENT that the
Subscriber has failed to complete 180 days of continuous active service in the
Market in which the Subscriber was activated on NEWCO's service.

C. A Subscriber who is activated or referred by AGENT and has attained 180 days
of continuous active service and who then voluntarily disconnects and reconnects
within a 120 day period shall not be included in AGENT's count of new
Subscribers and NEWCO shall not pay any additional Up-Front compensation to
AGENT for any such Subscriber.

If, notwithstanding the above, NEWCO pays AGENT compensation for a Subscriber
described in the above paragraph, NEWCO may, in its discretion deduct such
payment from amounts otherwise owed to AGENT by NEWCO. If such amount is not
deducted by NEWCO, due to the insufficiency of amounts otherwise owed to AGENT
by NEWCO, such amount shall be paid by AGENT to NEWCO within 30 days after NEWCO
notifies AGENT that the repayment is due. After such deduction or payment is
made, if AGENT submits all completed, appropriate paperwork for such Subscriber
within ninety (90) days from the date of such deduction, NEWCO shall repay to
AGENT the amount due as compensation for such Subscriber.

D. If a Subscriber changes telephone numbers or Equipment, such Subscriber shall
not be included in AGENT's count of new Subscribers because of such change, and
NEWCO shall not pay any additional compensation to AGENT for any such Subscriber
because of such change. Subscribers shall be deemed to have changed telephone
number or Equipment when one person disconnects service, another person
subscribes to the service, but in NEWCO's sole judgment, the second subscription
is used by the original Subscriber. The provisions of this Paragraph shall apply
only to Subscriber enrollment in the Market in which the Subscriber began using
NEWCO's service.

If, notwithstanding the above, NEWCO pays AGENT compensation for a Subscriber
described in the above paragraph, NEWCO may, in its discretion deduct such
payment from amounts otherwise owed to AGENT by NEWCO. If such amount is not
deducted by NEWCO, due to the insufficiency of amounts



                                      -5-

<PAGE>

otherwise owed to AGENT by NEWCO, such amount shall be paid by AGENT to NEWCO
within 30 days after NEWCO notifies AGENT that the repayment is due. After such
deduction or payment is made, if AGENT submits all completed, appropriate
paperwork for such Subscriber within ninety (90) days from the date of such
deduction, NEWCO shall repay to AGENT the amount due as compensation for such
Subscriber.

E. A Subscriber who is enrolled by AGENT and has attained 180 days of continuous
active service and who then is disconnected for nonpayment and is subsequently
reconnected shall not be included in AGENT's count of new Subscribers and NEWCO
shall not pay any additional Up-Front compensation to AGENT for any such
Subscriber.

If, notwithstanding the above, NEWCO pays AGENT compensation for a Subscriber
described in the above paragraph, NEWCO may, in its discretion deduct such
payment from amounts otherwise owed to AGENT by NEWCO. If such amount is not
deducted by NEWCO, due to the insufficiency of amounts otherwise owed to AGENT
by NEWCO, such amount shall be paid by AGENT to NEWCO within 30 days after NEWCO
notifies AGENT that the repayment is due. After such deduction or payment is
made, if AGENT submits all completed, appropriate paperwork for such Subscriber
within ninety (90) days from the date of such deduction, NEWCO shall repay to
AGENT the amount due as compensation for such Subscriber.

G. Should NEWCO, in its sole discretion, determine that AGENT has inflated or
otherwise manipulated its count of new Subscribers by falsifying applications,
activating nonexistent Subscribers, activating Subscribers who do not use
minimal amounts of airtime, or by any other means or methods, then NEWCO shall,
in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement, have the right
to immediately terminate this Agreement.

                    RESIDUAL COMPENSATION FOR NEW SUBSCRIBERS
                      ADDED AFTER COMMENCEMENT OF AGREEMENT

NEWCO will pay to AGENT Residual Compensation, as defined below, for all
Subscribers activated by AGENT, under OPTION 1 -- FULL COMMISSION, AGENT
SUPPLIES EQUIPMENT or under OPTION 2 -- PARTIAL COMMISSION, NEWCO SUPPLIES
EQUIPMENT on NEWCO's POWS who activate service on or after the commencement date

charges, taxes, fees and long distance tolls.

No Residual Compensation shall be paid for Subscribers who fail to complete 180
days of service. Residual Compensation shall be paid within thirty (30) working
days following the close of the last billing period in the Market in which the
Subscriber completed 180 days of continuous active service. The first such
payment shall include all Residual Compensation accrued during the first 180
days. Thereafter, Residual Compensation shall be paid monthly. NEWCO reserves
the right, at any time and from time to time, to change the period used to
determine payment of Residual Compensation. AGENT shall be notified in writing

Beginning six months prior to the third anniversary of this Agreement, and six
months prior to each anniversary thereafter that this Agreement is in effect,
NEWCO and AGENT shall renegotiate compensation to be paid under this Agreement.
If the Parties are unable to agree on revised compensation, AGENT shall
terminate the Agreement as provided in Article XI of the Agreement.

                                     GENERAL

A. Continuous active service refers to the use of NEWCO's CRS without
interruption, either voluntary or involuntary.

For purposes of calculating continuous active service, a Subscriber who is
disconnected for nonpayment and is reconnected to NEWCO's service within the
same or following billing cycle shall be considered as having continuous active
service.

B. If AGENT receives Equipment under any NEWCO program and invoices are not
timely paid, or if AGENT owes NEWCO amounts for any other reason, including, but
not limited to, all amounts due for unpaid bills for cellular service or
equipment provided to AGENT, its officers, employees, principals or affiliates,
NEWCO reserves the right to deduct such unpaid amounts from AGENT's
compensation.
