Additional Shares are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "SHARES". The
shares of common stock of the Company to be outstanding after giving effect to
the sales contemplated hereby are hereinafter referred to as the "COMMON STOCK".

     Section 1.  Registration Statement and Prospectus.  The Company has
prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"COMMISSION")  in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933,

prospectus, relating to the Shares.  The registration statement, as amended at
the time it became

                                       1

effective, including the information (if any) deemed to be part of the
registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A under
the Act, is hereinafter referred to as the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT"; and the
prospectus in the form first used to confirm sales of Shares is hereinafter
referred to as the "PROSPECTUS". If the Company has filed or is required
pursuant to the terms hereof to file a registration statement pursuant to Rule
462(b) under the Act registering additional shares of Common Stock (a "RULE
462(B) REGISTRATION STATEMENT"), then, unless otherwise specified, any reference
herein to the term "Registration Statement" shall be deemed to include such Rule
462(b) Registration Statement.

     Section 2.  Agreements to Sell and Purchase and Lock-Up Agreements .  On
the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and
subject to its terms and conditions, the Company agrees to issue and sell, and
each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company
at a price per Share of $______ (the "PURCHASE PRICE") the number of Firm Shares
set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto.

     On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, the Company agrees to issue
and sell the Additional Shares and the Underwriters shall have the right to

with related schedules and notes, present fairly the consolidated financial
position, results of operations and changes in financial position of the Company
and its subsidiaries on the basis stated therein at the respective dates or for
the respective periods to which they apply; such statements and related
schedules and notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods involved,
except as disclosed therein; the supporting schedules, if any, included in the
Registration Statement present fairly in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles the information required to be stated therein; and the
other financial and statistical information and data set forth in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus (and any amendment or supplement
thereto) are, in all material respects, accurately presented and prepared on a
basis consistent with such financial statements and the books and records of the
Company.

     (r) The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of
the Shares and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the
Prospectus, will not be, an "investment company" as such term is defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

     (s) Except for (i) registration rights granted in favor of certain holders
of Class B common stock of the Company pursuant to the shareholder agreement
dated September 24, 1999 (the "Shareholder Agreement") and (ii) registration
rights granted in favor of The 1818 Fund III, L.P. and its affiliates in
connection with the issuance of 500,000 shares of the Company's Senior
Redeemable Preferred Stock to The 1818 Fund III, L.P. on October 29, 1999 for
$50 million (the "Preferred Stock Offering"), there are no contracts, agreements
or understandings between the Company and any person granting such person the
right to require the Company to file a registration statement under the Act with
respect to any securities of the Company or to require the Company to include
such securities with the Shares registered pursuant to the Registration
Statement.

     (t) Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the
Prospectus other than as set forth in the Prospectus (exclusive of any
amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement), (i)
there has not occurred  any material adverse change or any development involving
a prospective material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise,
or the earnings, business, management or operations of the Company and its

                                       10
<PAGE>

subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (ii) there has not been any material adverse
change or any development involving a prospective material adverse change in the
capital stock or in the long-term debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
and (iii) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has incurred any
material liability or obligation, direct or contingent.

     (u) Each certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered to
the Underwriters or counsel for the Underwriters shall be deemed to be a
representation and warranty by the Company to the Underwriters as to the matters
covered thereby.

     (v) The Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all
real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by
them which is material to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, in
each case free and clear of all liens and defects, except such as are described
in the Prospectus or such as do not materially affect the value of such property
and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property
by the Company and its subsidiaries; and any real property and buildings held
under lease by the Company and its subsidiaries are held by them under valid,
subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and
do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and
buildings by the Company and its subsidiaries, in each case except as described
in the Prospectus.

     (w) The Company and its subsidiaries own or possess, or can acquire on
reasonable terms, all patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights,
know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable
proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures), trademarks,
service marks and trade names ("intellectual property") currently employed by
them in connection with the business now operated by them except where the
failure to own or possess or otherwise be able to acquire such intellectual
property would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect;
and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of
infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any
of such intellectual property which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject
of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a Material Adverse
Effect.

     (x)  The Company and each of its subsidiaries are insured by insurers of
recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such
amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which they are
engaged; and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries (i) has received
notice from any insurer or agent of such insurer that substantial capital
improvements or other material expenditures will have to be made in order to
continue such insurance or (ii) has any reason to believe that it will not be
able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires
or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers at a cost that would not
have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (y) Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, no relationship, direct or
indirect, exists between or among the Company or any of its subsidiaries on the
one hand, and the directors, officers, stockholders, other affiliates, customers
or suppliers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries on the other hand, which
would be required by the Act to be described in the Prospectus if the Prospectus
were a prospectus included in a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with
the Commission.

                                       11
<PAGE>

     (z) There is no (i) significant unfair labor practice complaint, grievance
or arbitration proceeding pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company,
threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries before the National
Labor Relations Board or any state or local labor relations board, (ii) strike,
labor dispute, slowdown or stoppage pending or, to the best knowledge of the
Company, threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (iii)
union representation question existing with respect to the employees of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, except in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) for such actions which, singly or in the aggregate, would not have a
Material Adverse Effect.  To the best knowledge of the Company, no collective
bargaining organizing activities are taking place with respect to the Company or
any of its subsidiaries.

     (aa) The Company and each of its subsidiaries maintains a system of
internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i)
transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific
authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to
assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific
authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with
respect to any differences.

     (bb) All material tax returns required to be filed by the Company and each
of its subsidiaries in any jurisdiction have been filed, other than those
filings being contested in good faith, and all material taxes, including
withholding taxes, penalties and interest, assessments, fees and other charges
due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries have been paid, other than those being
contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been provided.

     (cc) The Company and each of its subsidiaries validly holds the Federal
Communication Commission ("FCC") licenses set forth opposite each entity's name
on Schedule 6(cc) attached hereto (the "PCS Licenses").  The PCS Licenses are in
full force and effect and are not subject to any conditions other than those
conditions listed thereon and those conditions generally applicable to entities
holding similar licenses issued by the FCC.  The PCS Licenses constitute all of
the licenses, permits, consents or authorizations required by the FCC to permit
operation of a PCS system in each of the markets indicated opposite each license
on Schedule 6(cc).  The PCS Licenses expire on April 28, 2007.  The five-year
buildout periods for the PCS Licenses expire on April 28, 2002 and the ten-year
buildout periods expire on April 28, 2007.  All applicable administrative and
judicial appeal, review and reconsideration periods of the orders granting the
PCS Licenses have expired, without the timely filing of any such appeal or
request for review or reconsideration and without the FCC having instituted
review of the grant of the PCS Licenses on its own motion.

     (dd) The Company validly holds the FCC licenses listed on Schedule 6(dd)
attached hereto (the "Cellular Licenses").  The Cellular Licenses are in full
force and effect and are not subject to any conditions other than those
conditions listed thereon and those conditions generally applicable to entities
holding similar licenses issued by the FCC.  The Cellular Licenses constitute

                                       12
<PAGE>

all of the licenses, permits, consents or authorizations required by the FCC to
permit operation of the Company's cellular telephone system, as identified in
the Prospectus.  The Cellular Licenses expire on the dates set forth opposite
each license listed on Schedule 6(dd).  All applicable administrative and
judicial appeal, review and reconsideration periods of the orders granting the
Cellular Licenses have expired, without the timely filing of any such appeal or
request for review or reconsideration and without the FCC having instituted
review of the grant of the Cellular Licenses on its own motion.

     (ee) There are no judgments, decrees or orders issued by the FCC that could
result in suspension, revocation, material impairment, termination prior to its
expiration date, non-renewal or adverse modification of the PCS Licenses or the
Cellular Licenses, or that could have a Material Adverse Effect upon, or cause
material disruption to, the PCS operations pursuant to the PCS Licenses or the
cellular operations pursuant to the Cellular Licenses.  To the best of the
Company's knowledge, there is no complaint, investigation, action or proceeding
pending or threatened relative to the PCS Licenses relating to the PCS
operations or the Cellular Licenses relating to the cellular operations,
including, without limitation, any Notice of Violation, Notice of Apparent
Liability or Order to Show Cause, other than proceedings that affect the PCS or
the cellular telephone industry generally, that could result in a suspension,
revocation, material impairment, termination prior to its expiration date, non-
renewal or adverse modification of the PCS Licenses or the Cellular Licenses or
which could have a Material Adverse Effect upon, or cause material disruption
to, the Company's PCS or cellular operations.

     (ff) The Company and each of its subsidiaries has, or has timely filed
applications for, all permits, license, franchises and other authorizations
("permits") of governmental or regulatory authorities (including, as
appropriate, the state public utilities commissions of Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas) necessary to engage in the wireless
and competitive local exchange businesses currently conducted by the Company,
except where the failure to hold such permits would not have a Material Adverse
Effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and there is no
reason to believe that any governmental body or agency is considering limiting,
suspending or revoking any such permit, except where the limitation, suspension
or revocation of such permits would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the
Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.  All such permits are valid and
in full force and effect, except where the limitation, suspension or revocation
of such permits would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

     (gg) All fees required by the FCC in connection with the PCS Licenses,
including any and all down payments or installment payments required by FCC
rules to be paid as of the date hereof have been timely and fully paid.

     (hh) The Company and each of its subsidiaries validly holds all FCC
licenses necessary for the operation of its paging system, as described in the
Prospectus (the "Paging Licenses").  Except as set forth in Schedule 6(hh), the
Paging Licenses are in full force and effect and are not subject to any
conditions other than those conditions listed thereon and those conditions
generally applicable to entities holding similar licenses issued by the FCC.
The Paging Licenses constitute

                                       13
<PAGE>

all of the licenses, permits, consents or authorizations required by the FCC to
permit operation of the paging system, as described in the Prospectus.

     (ii) There does not exist any FCC complaint, investigation, action or
proceeding pending or threatened relative to the Paging Licenses, including,
without limitation, any Notice of Violation, Notice of Apparent Liability or
Order to Show Cause, other than proceedings that affect the paging industry
generally, that could result in a denial of any of the Paging Licenses, or
suspension, revocation, material impairment, termination prior to its expiration
date, non-renewal or adverse modification of any of the Paging Licenses or which
could have a Material Adverse Effect upon, or cause material disruption to, the
Company's paging operations.

     (jj) LA Unwired was qualified to participate in the FCC's PCS license
auctions as a "Small Business," as defined by FCC Rules, and is qualified to
hold the licenses for LA Unwired's PCS operations according to the rules of the
FCC.  The Company's investment in LA Unwired does not violate the rules of the
FCC.

     (kk) To the Company's best knowledge, Sprint Spectrum L.P. and SprintCom,
Inc. validly hold the FCC licenses set forth on Schedule 6(kk) (the "Sprint PCS
Licenses").  To the Company's best knowledge, the Sprint PCS Licenses are in
full force and effect and are not subject to any conditions other than those
conditions listed thereon and those conditions generally applicable to entities
holding similar licenses issued by the FCC.  The Sprint PCS Licenses, together
with the PCS Licenses, constitute all of the licenses, permits, consents or
authorizations required by the FCC to permit operation of the PCS operations of
the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Company's planned PCS network
buildout, as described in the Prospectus.  All applicable administrative and
judicial appeal, review and reconsideration periods of the orders granting the
Sprint PCS Licenses have expired, without the timely filing of any such appeal
or request for review or reconsideration and without the FCC having instituted
review of the grant of the Sprint PCS Licenses on its own motion.

     (ll) Since the date of the Prospectus, there have been no material changes
to the Company's PCS network buildout plan, as described in the Prospectus.  The
proceeds from the sale of the Series A Notes, together with the other existing
financing sources described in the Prospectus, are sufficient to fund the entire
PCS network buildout plan as set forth in the Prospectus.

     Section 7.  Indemnification.

     (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its
directors, its officers and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")(13), from and against any
and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments (including, without
limitation, any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with
investigating or defending any matter, including any action, that could give
rise to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments) caused by
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, or caused by

                                       14
<PAGE>

any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments are
caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished in writing
to the Company by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein;
provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any
preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter who
failed to deliver a Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented, provided by the
Company to the several Underwriters in the requested quantity and on a timely
basis to permit proper delivery on or prior to the Closing Date) to the person
asserting any losses, claims, damages and liabilities and judgments caused by
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any preliminary prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, if such material misstatement or omission
or alleged material misstatement or omission was cured in such Prospectus and
such Prospectus was required by law to be delivered at or prior to the written
confirmation of sale to such person. In addition to the foregoing, in connection
with the offer and sale of the Reserved Shares, the Company agrees, promptly
upon a request in writing, to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters from
and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses
incurred by them as a result of (i) the failure of purchasers of the Reserved
Shares (including eligible directors, officers, employees, customers,
subscribers and persons having business relationships with the Company) to pay
for and accept delivery of the Reserved Shares which, by the end of the first
business day following the date of this Agreement, were subject to a properly
confirmed application to purchase or (ii) any violation or alleged violation of
the Act or any other federal or state law or any liability based on common law,
in each case, arising out of or relating to the manner in which the Reserved
Shares are sold and pertaining to any actions or inactions by the Company (or by
the Company jointly with any other person), including without limitation any e-
mails or other communications by the Company (or by the Company jointly with any
other person) with customers or subscribers of the Company relating to the
Reserved Shares or possible opportunities to purchase Reserved Shares.

     (b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration
Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent
as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter but only with
reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished in writing to
the Company by such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the
Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) or any preliminary prospectus.

     (c) In case any action shall be commenced involving any person in respect
of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 7(a) or 7(b) (the
"indemnified party"), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the person
against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing
and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such action, including
the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and
the payment of all fees and expenses of such counsel, as incurred (except that
in the case of any

                                       15
<PAGE>

action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to both Sections
7(a) and 7(b), the Underwriter shall not be required to assume the defense of
such action pursuant to this Section 7(c), but may employ separate counsel and
participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel,
except as provided below, shall be at the expense of such Underwriter). Any
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless (i) the
employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by
the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume
the defense of such action or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any
impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying
party, and the indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that
there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from
or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action
on behalf of the indemnified party). In any such case, the indemnifying party
shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially
similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same
general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for
all indemnified parties and all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as
they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by Donaldson, Lufkin
& Jenrette Securities Corporation, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant
to Section 7(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant
to Section 7(b). The indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless the
indemnified party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and judgments by reason of any settlement of any action (i) effected
with its written consent or (ii) effected without its written consent if the
settlement is entered into more than twenty business days after the indemnifying
party shall have received a request from the indemnified party for reimbursement
for the fees and expenses of counsel (in any case where such fees and expenses
are at the expense of the indemnifying party) and, prior to the date of such
settlement, the indemnifying party shall have failed to comply with such
reimbursement request. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement or compromise of, or
consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened
action in respect of which the indemnified party is or could have been a party
and indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought hereunder by the
indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes
an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability on claims
that are or could have been the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not
include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to
act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

     (d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is
unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, and such
unavailability or insufficiency is otherwise than in accordance with the express
terms of Section 7(a) or 7(b), then each indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and judgments (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the
allocation provided by

                                       16
<PAGE>

clause 7(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause
7(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand
shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the
offering (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, but before
deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total underwriting
discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, bear to the total price
to the public of the Shares, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover
page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and
the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission.

     The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d) were determined by pro
rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action,
that could have given rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
judgments.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the
total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public
were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such
Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.  The Underwriters' obligations to contribute
pursuant to this Section 7(d) are several in proportion to the respective number
of Shares purchased by each of the Underwriters hereunder and not joint.

     (e) The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall
not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any
indemnified party at law or in equity.

     Section 8.  Conditions of Underwriters' Obligations.  The several
obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Firm Shares under this Agreement
are subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

     (a) All the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this
Agreement shall be true and correct on the Closing Date with the same force and
effect as if made on and as of the Closing Date.

                                       17
<PAGE>

     (b) If the Company is required to file a Rule 462(b) Registration Statement
after the effectiveness of this Agreement, such Rule 462(b) Registration
Statement shall have become effective by 10:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
date of this Agreement; and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for that
purpose shall have been commenced or shall be pending before or contemplated by
the Commission.

     (c) You shall have received on the Closing Date a certificate dated the
Closing Date, signed by Robert W. Piper and Jerry E. Vaughn, in their capacities
as the President and Chief Finance Officer of the Company, confirming the
matters set forth in Sections 6(t), 8(a) and 8(b) and that the Company has
complied with all of the agreements and satisfied all of the conditions herein
contained and required to be complied with or satisfied by the Company on or
prior to the Closing Date.

     (d) Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the
Prospectus other than as set forth in the Prospectus (exclusive of any
amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement), (i)
there shall not have occurred  any change or any development involving a
prospective change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings,
business, management or operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as
a whole, (ii) there shall not have been any change or any development involving
a prospective change in the capital stock or in the long-term debt of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries and (iii) neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries shall have incurred any liability or obligation, direct or
contingent, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause 8(d)(i),
8(d)(ii) or 8(d)(iii), in your judgment, is material and adverse and, in your
judgment, makes it impracticable to market the Shares on the terms and in the
manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

     (e) You shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion (satisfactory to
you and counsel for the Underwriters), dated the Closing Date, of Correro
Fishman Haygood Phelps Walmsley & Casterix, L.L.P., counsel for the Company, to
the effect that:

          (i) each of the Company and its subsidiaries has been duly
     incorporated or formed, as the case may be, is validly existing as a
     corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be,
     in good standing under the laws of Louisiana and has the corporate or other
     power and authority to carry on its business as described in the Prospectus
     and to own, lease and operate its properties, as described therein;

          (ii) each of the Company and its subsidiaries is duly qualified and is
     in good standing as a foreign corporation, partnership or limited liability
     company, as the case may be, authorized to do business in each jurisdiction
     in which the nature of its business or its ownership or leasing of property
     requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified
     would not have a material adverse effect on the business, prospects,
     financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its
     subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

          (iii)  all the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have
     been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable
     and not subject to any preemptive or similar rights;

                                       18
<PAGE>

          (iv) the Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and
     delivered to the Underwriters against payment therefor as provided by this
     Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and the
     issuance of such Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar
     rights;

          (v) all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of or other
     ownership interest in each of the Company's subsidiaries have been duly
     authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, and

     indirectly through one or more subsidiaries, free and clear of any security
     interest, claim, lien, encumbrance or adverse interest of any nature;

          (vi) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
     by the Company;

          (vii)  the authorized capital stock of the Company conforms as to
     legal matters to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus;

          (viii)  the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act,
     no stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued and no
     proceedings for that purpose are, to the best of such counsel's knowledge
     after due inquiry, pending before or contemplated by the Commission;

          (ix) the statements under the captions "Certain Relationships and
     Related Transactions", "Sprint PCS Agreements", "Management-1999 Equity
     Incentive Plan", "Certain Indebtedness", "Description of Capital Stock" and
     "Underwriting" in the Prospectus and Items 14 and 15 of Part II of the
     Registration Statement, insofar as such statements constitute a summary of
     the legal matters, contracts or legal proceedings referred to therein (but
     not factual matters), fairly present the information called for with
     respect to such legal contracts, documents and legal proceedings;

          (x) to such counsel's knowledge, (i) neither the Company nor any of
     its subsidiaries is in violation of its respective articles of
     incorporation, by-laws, operating agreement or partnership agreement, (ii)
     and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in default in the
     performance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained
     in any indenture, loan agreement, mortgage, lease or other agreement or
     instrument known to us that is material to the Company and its
     subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to which the Company or any of its
     subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries
     or their respective property is bound;

          (xi) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the
     Company, the compliance by the Company with all the provisions hereof and
     the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (A)
     require any consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or
     qualification with,  any court or governmental body or agency (except such
     as may be required under the securities or Blue Sky laws of the various
     states), (B) conflict with or constitute a breach of any of the terms or
     provisions of, or a default under, the articles of incorporation, by-laws,
     operating agreement or partnership agreement of the

                                       19
<PAGE>

     Company or any of its subsidiaries or any indenture, loan agreement,
     mortgage, lease or other agreement or instrument know by such counsel that
     is material to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to which
     the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company
     or any of its subsidiaries or their respective property is bound, (C)
     violate or conflict with any applicable Louisiana or federal law or any
     rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree known to us of any court or any
     governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company, any of
     its subsidiaries or their respective property or (D) result in the
     suspension, termination or revocation of any Authorization (other than any
     Authorization relating to federal taxation law or any communications
     matters including without limitation matters regulated by the Federal
     Communications Commission, the Communications Act of 1934 or the Louisiana
     Public Service Commission) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries known
     to us or any other impairment of the rights of the holder of any such
     Authorization;

          (xii)  such counsel does not know of any legal or governmental
     proceedings pending or threatened to which the Company or any of its
     subsidiaries party or to which any of their respective property is subject
     that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the
     Prospectus and are not so described, or of any statutes, regulations,
     contracts or other documents that are required to be described in the
     Registration Statement or the Prospectus or  to be filed as exhibits to the
     Registration Statement that are not so described or filed as required;

          (xiii)  to such counsel's knowledge, neither the Company nor any of
     its subsidiaries has violated any Environmental Law, any provisions of the
     Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or any
     provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the rules and
     regulations promulgated thereunder, except, in each case, for such
     violations which, singly or in the aggregate, would not have a material
     adverse effect on the business, prospects, financial condition or results
     of operation of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

          (xiv)  to such counsel's knowledge, each of the Company and its
     subsidiaries has such Authorizations of, and has made all filings with and
     notices to, all governmental or regulatory authorities and self-regulatory
     organizations and all courts and other tribunals, including, without
     limitation, under any applicable Environmental Laws, as are necessary to
     own, lease, license and operate its respective properties and to conduct
     its business (excluding, in each case, those relating to communications),
     except where the failure to have any such Authorization or to make any such
     filing or notice would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a material
     adverse effect on the business, prospects, financial condition or results
     of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.  To
     such counsel's knowledge, (i)  each such Authorization (excluding, in each
     case, those relating to communications) is valid and in full force and
     effect and each of the Company and its subsidiaries is in compliance with
     all the terms and conditions thereof and with the rules and regulations of
     the authorities and governing bodies having jurisdiction with respect
     thereto; (ii) no event has occurred (including, without limitation, the
     receipt of any notice from any authority or governing body) which allows
     or, after notice or lapse of time or

                                       20
<PAGE>

     both, would allow, revocation, suspension or termination of any such
     Authorization (other than any Authorization relating to federal taxation
     law or any communications matters including without limitation matters
     regulated by the Federal Communications commission, the Communications Act
     of 1934 or the Louisiana Public Service Commission) or results or, after
     notice or lapse of time or both, would result in any other impairment of
     the rights of the holder of any such Authorization; and (iii) Authorization
     (other than any Authorization relating to federal taxation law or any
     communications matters including without limitation matters regulated by
     the Federal Communications commission, the Communications Act of 1934 or
     the Louisiana Public Service Commission) contains no restrictions that are
     burdensome to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; except where such
     failure to be valid and in full force and effect or to be in compliance,
     the occurrence of any such event or the presence of any such restriction
     would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on
     the business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations of
     the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

          (xv) the Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and
     sale of the Shares and the application of the proceeds thereof as described
     in the Prospectus, will not be, an "investment company" as such term is
     defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

          (xvi)  to such counsel's knowledge, there are no contracts, agreements
     or understandings between the Company and any person granting such person
     the right to require the Company to file a registration statement under the
     Act with respect to any securities of the Company or to require the Company
     to include such securities with the Shares registered pursuant to the
     Registration Statement, except for registration rights granted in favor of
     certain holders of Class B common stock of the Company pursuant to the
     Shareholder Agreement and registration rights granted in favor of The 1818
     Fund III, L.P. and its affiliates in connection with the Preferred Stock
     Offering; and

          (xvii)  (A) the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any
     supplement or amendment thereto (except for the financial statements and
     other financial data included therein as to which no opinion need be
     expressed) comply as to form with the Act, (B) such counsel has no reason
     to believe that at the time the Registration Statement became effective or
     on the date of this Agreement, the Registration Statement and the
     prospectus included therein (except for the financial statements and other
     financial data as to which such counsel need not express any belief)
     contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
     material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
     statements therein not misleading and (C) such counsel has no reason to
     believe that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, if applicable
     (except for the financial statements and other financial data, as
     aforesaid) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
     state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
     the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

     The opinion of Correro Fishman Haygood Phelps Walmsley & Casterix, L.L.P.
described in Section 8(e) above shall be rendered to you at the request of the
Company and shall so state therein and shall be limited to the laws of the
United States of America and those of the state of Louisiana.

     (f) You shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion (satisfactory to
you and counsel for the Underwriters), dated the Closing Date, of Lukas, Nace,
Gutierrez & Sachs, Chartered, special communications counsel for the Company, to
the effect that:

          (i) the statements in the Prospectus under the captions "Risk
     Factors -- Government Regulation" and "Business of the Company," insofar as
     such statements constitute a summary of Communications Act of 1934, as
     amended, and the rules and regulations of the FCC promulgated thereunder
     (the "Communications Act"), are accurate in all material respects and
     fairly summarize all matters referred to therein;

          (ii) the Company holds the PCS Licenses, the Cellular Licenses and the
     Paging Licenses (together, the "Licenses").  The Licenses are in full force
     and effect and are not subject to any conditions other than those
     conditions listed on the Licenses and those conditions generally applicable
     to entities holding similar licenses issued by the FCC.  All applicable
     administrative and judicial appeal, review and reconsideration periods of
     the FCC's grant of the Licenses have expired, without the timely filing of
     any such appeal or request for review or reconsideration and without the
     FCC having instituted review of the grant of the Licenses on its own
     motion;

          (iii)  the Licenses (along with the Sprint PCS Licenses) provide all
     necessary FCC certificates, orders, permits, licenses, authorizations,
     consents or approvals required by the FCC for the Company to construct and
     operate a wireless communications network in the respective markets
     designated in the Licenses and to conduct its business in the manner
     described in the Prospectus;

          (iv) the Company has made all reports, filings and registrations with,
     and paid all fees required by the FCC, including any and all down payments
     or installment payments, except where such failure would not have Material
     Adverse Effect on the Company's operations as a whole;

          (v) to such counsel's knowledge, (a) there is no unsatisfied adverse
     FCC order, decree or ruling outstanding against the Company, or any of the
     Licenses; (b) there is no litigation, proceeding (including any rulemaking
     proceeding), complaint, inquiry or investigation against the Company or in
     respect of any of the Licenses, pending or threatened before the FCC
     (including any pending judicial review of such an action by the FCC),
     including without limitation, any Notice of Violation, Notice of Apparent
     Liability or Order to Show Cause, except for proceedings affecting the
     wireless industry generally to which the Company is not a specified party;
     (c) neither the Company nor any Guarantor has received any notice of
     proceedings relating to the violation, revocation or modification of any of
     the Licenses, certificates, orders, permits, licenses, authorizations,
     consents or approvals or the qualification or rejection of any FCC filing,
     the effect of which, singly or in

                                       22
<PAGE>

     the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect upon, or cause material
     disruption to, the Company's operations, taken as a whole;

          (vi) to such counsel's knowledge, the Company is not in violation of,
     or in default under, the Communications Act, the effect of which, singly or
     in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or
     the Licenses, taken as a whole;

          (vii)  the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the
     performance of the Company of their obligations thereunder, will not
     violate the Communications Act or, to our such counsel's knowledge, the
     terms of any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree of the
     FCC;.

          (viii)  except to the extent that prior FCC approval is required in
     connection with the exercise of creditors' rights in the event of a
     default, no consent or approval by the FCC is required for the execution
     delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company or the
     Guarantors or for the consummation of the transactions described therein;

          (ix) LA Unwired was qualified to participate in the FCC's PCS license
     auctions as a "Small Business," as defined by FCC Rules, and is qualified
     to hold the licenses for LA Unwired's PCS operations according to the FCC's
     rules.  The Company's ownership interest in LA Unwired does not violate the
     FCC's rules;

          (x) to such counsel's knowledge, (i) the Sprint PCS Licenses are in
     full force and effect and are not subject to any conditions other than
     those conditions listed thereon and those conditions listed thereon and
     those conditions generally applicable to entities holding similar licenses
     issued by the FCC; (ii) all applicable administrative and judicial appeal,
     review and reconsideration periods of the Sprint PCS Licenses have expired,
     without the timely filing of any such appeal or request for review or
     reconsideration and without the FCC having instituted review of the grant
     of the Sprint PCS Licenses on its own motion; and

          (xi) the Company and each of its subsidiaries has, or has timely filed
     applications for, all permits of governmental or regulatory authorities
     (including, as appropriate, the state public utilities commissions of
     Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas) necessary to
     engage in the wireless and competitive local exchange businesses currently
     conducted by the Company, except where the failure to hold such permits
     would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its
     subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and such counsel has no reason to believe
     that any governmental body or agency is considering limiting, suspending or
     revoking any such permit.  All such permits are valid and in full force and
     effect.

     (g) You shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion (satisfactory to
you and counsel for the Underwriters), dated the Closing Date, of Jones, Walker,
Waechter, Poltevent, Carrere & Denegre LLP, tax counsel for the Company and the
Guarantors, to the effect that the statements under the caption "Important
United States Federal Tax Consequences of Our Common Stock to Non-U.S. Holders"
in the Prospectus, insofar as such statements constitute a summary of

                                       23
<PAGE>

the legal matters, documents or proceedings referred to therein, fairly present
in all material respects such legal matters, documents and proceedings.

     (h) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion,
dated the Closing Date, of Latham & Watkins, counsel for the Underwriters, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters.

     (i) In giving such opinions with respect to the matters covered by Section
8(e)(xvii) Correro Fishman Haygood Phelps Walmsley & Casterix, L.L.P. and Latham
& Watkins may state that their opinion and belief are based upon their
participation in the preparation of the Registration Statement and Prospectus
and any amendments or supplements thereto and review and discussion of the
contents thereof, but are without independent check or verification except as
specified.

     (j) You shall have received, on each of the date hereof and the Closing
Date, a letter dated the date hereof or the Closing Date, as the case may be, in
form and substance satisfactory to you, from Ernst & Young LLP, independent
public accountants, containing the information and statements of the type
ordinarily included in accountants' "comfort letters" to Underwriters with
respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained
in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

     (k) The Company shall have delivered to you the agreements specified in
Section 2 hereof which agreements shall be in full force and effect on the
Closing Date.

     (l) The Shares shall have been duly listed for quotation on the Nasdaq
National Market.

     (m) The Company shall not have failed on or prior to the Closing Date to
perform or comply with any of the agreements herein contained and required to be
performed or complied with by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date.

     The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase any Additional
Shares hereunder are subject to the delivery to you on the applicable Option
Closing Date of such documents as you may reasonably request with respect to the
good standing of the Company, the due authorization and issuance of such
Additional Shares and other matters related to the issuance of such Additional
Shares.

     Section 9.  Effectiveness of Agreement and Termination.  This Agreement
shall become effective upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
parties hereto.

     This Agreement may be terminated at any time on or prior to the Closing
Date by you by written notice to the Company if any of the following has
occurred:  (i) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or
international calamity or crisis or change in economic conditions or in the
financial markets of the United States or elsewhere that, in your judgment, is
material and adverse and, in your judgment, makes it impracticable to market the
Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus, (ii) the
suspension or material limitation of trading in securities or other instruments
on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Chicago Board
of Options Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market or limitation on prices for

                                       24
<PAGE>

securities or other instruments on any such exchange or the Nasdaq National
Market, (iii) the suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on any
exchange or in the over-the-counter market, (iv) the enactment, publication,
decree or other promulgation of any federal or state statute, regulation, rule
or order of any court or other governmental authority which in your opinion
materially and adversely affects, or will materially and adversely affect, the
business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations of the Company
and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (v) the declaration of a banking
moratorium by either federal or New York State authorities or (vi) the taking of
any action by any federal, state or local government or agency in respect of its
monetary or fiscal affairs which in your opinion has a material adverse effect
on the financial markets in the United States.

     If on the Closing Date or on an Option Closing Date, as the case may be,
any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase the Firm
Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, which it has or they have
agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate number of Firm
Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, which such defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more
than one-tenth of the total number of Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the
case may be, to be purchased on such date by all Underwriters, each non-
defaulting Underwriter shall be obligated severally, in the proportion which the
number of Firm Shares set forth opposite its name in Schedule I bears to the
total number of Firm Shares which all the non-defaulting Underwriters have
agreed to purchase, or in such other proportion as you may specify, to purchase
the Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, which such defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such
date; provided that in no event shall the number of Firm Shares or Additional
Shares, as the case may be, which any Underwriter has agreed to purchase
pursuant to Section 2 hereof be increased pursuant to this Section 9 by an
amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Firm Shares or Additional
Shares, as the case may be, without the written consent of such Underwriter.  If
on the Closing Date any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to
purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to
which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm
Shares to be purchased  by all Underwriters and arrangements satisfactory to you
and the Company for purchase of such Firm Shares are not made within 48 hours
after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part
of any non-defaulting Underwriter and the Company.   In any such case which does
not result in termination of this Agreement, either you or the Company shall
have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than
seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be
effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall
fail or refuse to purchase Additional  Shares and the aggregate number of
Additional Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-
tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such date,
the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their
obligation hereunder to purchase such Additional Shares or (ii) purchase not
less than the number of Additional Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters
would have been obligated to purchase on such date in the absence of such
default.  Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting
Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of any such Underwriter
under this Agreement.

     Section 10.  Miscellaneous.  Notices given pursuant to any provision of

Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation, 277 Park Avenue, New York,
New York 10172, Attention:  Syndicate Department, or in any case to such other
address as the person to be notified may have requested in writing.

     The respective indemnities, contribution agreements, representations,
warranties and other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters set
forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall remain operative and in full
force and effect, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Shares,
regardless of (i) any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof,
made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the officers or directors of any
Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter, the Company, the officers
or directors of the Company or any person controlling the Company, (ii)
acceptance of the Shares and payment for them hereunder and (iii) termination of
this Agreement.

     If for any reason the Shares are not delivered by or on behalf of the
Company as provided herein (other than as a result of any termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 9), the Company agrees to reimburse the several
Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and
disbursements of counsel) incurred by them. Notwithstanding any termination of
this Agreement, the Company shall be liable for all expenses which it has agreed
to pay pursuant to Section 5(i) hereof.  The Company also agrees to reimburse
the several Underwriters, their directors and officers and any persons
controlling any of the Underwriters for any and all fees and expenses
(including, without limitation, the fees disbursements of counsel) incurred by
them in connection with enforcing their rights hereunder (including, without
limitation, pursuant to Section 7 hereof).  The Underwriters agree, severally,
to reimburse the Company, and its officers, managers, directors and each person,
if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act for any and all fees and expenses (including
without limitation the fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by them in
connection with enforcing their rights under this Agreement (including without
limitation their rights under Section 7).

     Except as otherwise expressly provided, this Agreement has been and is made
solely for the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Company, the
Underwriters, the Underwriters' directors and officers, any controlling persons
referred to herein, the Company's directors and the Company's officers who sign
the Registration Statement and their respective successors and assigns, all as
and to the extent provided in this Agreement, and no other person shall acquire
or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement.  The term "successors
and assigns" shall not include a purchaser of any of the Shares from any of the
several Underwriters merely because of such purchase.

     This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York.

     This Agreement may be signed in various counterparts which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
