such transactions in which Seller furnishes Products, Licensed Materials, or

        Seller agrees that Seller will maintain and from time to time furnish to
Customer a copy of Seller's Customer Price List.

Western Wireless Corporation ("WWC") shall be considered "Customer" for purposes
of placing the purchase order and payment. In addition, WWC shall be considered
"Customer" for purposes of passage of title and risk of loss with regard to

look first to WWC for all payments which become due hereunder for purchase
prices, interest on late payments and cancellation charges, but the Buyer
Company, if any, having received the Products, Licensed Materials and/or
Services to which particular payments relate, shall be jointly and severally
liable therefor. The entity which is the end user of the Products, Licensed
Materials or Services furnished hereunder shall have and may enforce against
Seller all of the rights, benefits and obligations contained herein (including
warranty claims), and all rights and claims (except claims for payment) or
defenses Seller has or may acquire against such entity shall be asserted solely
against such entity which has received such Products, Licensed Materials or
Services; provided, however, that in the event of a disputed claim for payment
hereunder, WWC will (i) do whatever is reasonably necessary to help resolve such
a claim and (ii) make the disputed payments to Seller (including any interest on
late payments with respect thereto) if and when such claim is ultimately
resolved in favor of Seller. WWC shall have the right to enforce or assert on

furnished for use in connection with Customer's wireless telecommunications
business in the Franchise Areas in which WWC and the Buyer Companies are

addition, Products and Licensed Materials may be purchased under this Agreement
for use in providing a Related Operator's wireless telecommunications services
to the public, whether or not such services will be provided in one of such
Franchise Areas of WWC or a Buyer Company, provided that such purchased item(s)
will be interconnected with a Seller-furnished System in one of such Franchise
Areas licensed to WWC or a Buyer Company. Unless otherwise agreed by Seller in
writing, WWC shall be deemed the "Customer" under this Agreement with respect to
all such purchases for the benefit of a Related Operator, and as such shall have
all rights and obligations of Customer, including the obligation to pay for all
such purchased items.

embodied in Products, may be transferred if and only to the extent expressly
provided in the Software-specific provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this

in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed
accepted by Seller in accordance with the following:

(a)     If listed in a Customer Price List with price and a scheduled interval,
        upon receipt unless Seller notifies Customer to the contrary within ten
        (10) days of purchase order receipt;

(b)     If the purchase order is for Products, Licensed Materials or Services
        not listed in a Customer Price List or requires engineering, upon
        receipt unless Seller notifies Customer to the contrary within thirty
        (30) days of purchase order receipt.

        If Customer submits a purchase order requesting a delivery or completion
interval less than the interval listed in the applicable Customer Price List,
Seller will accept such purchase order only for its standard interval. Seller
will, however, use reasonable efforts to meet Customer's requested interval and
provide confirmation or denial of the requested shortened interval within ten
(10) days. Additional charges may be applicable.

<PAGE>   10

        While it is Seller's objective to provide Customer with an
acknowledgment of each purchase order received, it is Customer's responsibility
to advise Seller of any missing or late notifications to insure that the
purchase order has not been lost. No purchase order is to be considered
"accepted" by Seller unless its receipt has been acknowledged.

1.10    CHANGES IN CUSTOMER'S PURCHASE ORDERS

        Changes made by Customer to an accepted purchase order shall be treated
as a separate purchase order unless the parties expressly agree otherwise. If
any such change affects Seller's ability to meet its obligations under the
original purchase order, any price, shipment date, or completion date quoted by
Seller with respect to such original purchase order is subject to change.
However, Seller expressly agrees to use all reasonable efforts to minimize any
delayed shipment or completion date occasioned by such changes.

1.11    PRICING

        Except as expressly stated in the Agreement, any Attachment or firm
price quotation, Prices for Products, Licensed Materials and Services purchased
hereunder shall be those contained in a Customer Price List, firm price
quotations, specific agreements, or other prices submitted by Seller to Customer
(including, where applicable, discounts thereto.

        In those cases where the price is to be determined from a Customer Price
List, the applicable Customer Price List shall be the issue which is in effect
on the date of Seller's receipt of the purchase order provided that the
requested shipment or service-commencement date is in accordance with Seller's
published shipping or planning interval or thirty (30) days from the date of
purchase order receipt, whichever is longer. Prices for Products, Licensed
Materials or Services to be shipped or performed beyond such period will be
established by determining an effective order-entry date (the date required for
order entry by Seller in accordance with Customer's requested date) and applying
the price from the applicable Customer Price List as of that date.

        In those cases where the price is not to be determined from a Customer
Price List, a firm price quotation, or specific agreement, the applicable price
will be Seller's price in effect on the date of Seller's receipt of the
applicable purchase order (including, where applicable, discounts thereto) and
such price will be communicated to Customer as soon as practicable thereafter.

        Seller may amend its prices, other than those subject to firm price
quotations or other agreements between the Parties, but such changes shall only
be applicable to purchase orders received after such change.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller is delayed from completion of a
purchase order due to any change requested by Customer or as a result of
Customer's delay in furnishing information or in performing its obligations
hereunder, any price agreed to by Seller shall be subject to reasonable change.

        Unless expressly stated in writing, Seller's prices are exclusive of
charges for transportation and other related Services, such as hauling and
hoisting and any sales or other tax or duty which Seller may be required to
collect or pay upon the ordered transaction.

1.12    INVOICES AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

        Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Products and Licensed
Materials (including transportation charges and taxes, if applicable) will be
invoiced by Seller when shipped, or as soon thereafter as practicable.
Engineering will be invoiced upon main shipment of Products. Installation will
be invoiced as performed or as soon thereafter as practical. Customer shall pay
such invoiced amounts, less any disputed items, for receipt by Seller within
thirty-five (35) days of the date in which the invoice is sent to Customer.
Delinquent payments are subject to a late payment charge at the rate of one and
one-half percent (l-1/2%) per month, or portion thereof, of the amount due (but
not to exceed the maximum lawful rate). Any disputed items which are determined
in Seller's favor shall be due for payment based upon the original invoice date
and will be subject to a retroactive late payment charge based upon the original
invoice date. Customer shall notify Seller of any disputed invoice amounts
within 3 months from the date of the invoice. Seller may apply any credit which
remains outstanding in favor of Customer to the oldest undisputed invoice which
remains in Customer's portfolio.

        1.12.1 SPECIAL BILLING PROVISIONS - ENGINEER, FURNISH AND INSTALL (EF&I)
               ORDERS:

        Seller shall invoice EF&I and/or F&I purchase orders under this
Agreement on an individual order basis, at eighty-five percent (85%) of the
aggregate purchase of the applicable Products upon shipment, and the remaining
fifteen percent (15%) upon Seller's notification of completion of its
installation and acceptance thereof. For purposes hereof, EF&I and F&I purchase
orders include only those purchase orders issued in accordance with Seller's
standard lead times which include combined EF&I or combined F&I when such
purchase orders are originally issued, and do not include originally issued E&F
or furnish only purchase orders as to which Customer subsequently or separately
purchase orders installation Services. Such excluded purchase orders shall be
billed pursuant to Section 1.12 above.

        1.12.2 EARLY PAYMENT DISCOUNTS:

        Provided that Customer makes payment by EFT as set forth in Subsection
1.12.3 below, Customer may pay all invoiced amounts, less an additional 1/2 of 1
percent discount, if payment is received by the Seller within ten (10) days of
the date on which the invoice is sent to Customer. Such additional discount
shall be applied against the net invoiced amount (i.e., after all applicable
discounts and credits have been applied).

        1.12.3 ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER (EFT) PAYMENTS:

        Customer payments for invoiced amounts may be made by EFT means. EFT
payments shall be made to:

Seller shall be entitled to change such address for EFT transfers by advance
notice furnished pursuant to Section 1.25 of this Agreement.

Customer shall, concurrently with the EFT payment, either mechanically transmit
a remittance file to Seller's banking institution identified above or fax to
Seller the related EFT payment remittance advice such that Seller may apply EFT
payments to the proper invoices paid. Remittance advices shall be faxed to:

        1.12.4 PAYMENTS BY CHECK (NON-EFT):

        Non-EFT payments and related remittance advices shall be mailed to the
address identified on Seller's invoice.

1.13    DELIVERY AND INSTALLATION SCHEDULE

        Customer shall notify Seller that the MSC site and/or cell sites for any
purchase orders submitted under this Agreement, are ready for installation and
that Customer's responsibilities referred to in Article IV relating to such
sites have been performed or furnished. Seller shall have access to such sites
on and from the date of Seller's receipt of such notification (the "Start
Date").

        Additionally, the parties agree to develop, by mutual agreement,
delivery and installation schedules (Project Implementation Schedules) under
which Customer and Seller shall complete its obligations as required under this
Agreement, and submit notices of completion to Customer. The Project
Implementation Schedule is intended to be a living document, which tracks the
progress of work and shall be periodically modified as required to reflect the
work flow.

1.14    LIQUIDATED DAMAGES:

(a)     If due to the fault or negligence of Seller, Acceptance of a System or
items of Equipment or Software, as the case may be, does not occur on or before
the period stated in the applicable purchase order or System project schedule
(as such period may be extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), and
provided Buyer issues


                                       12
<PAGE>   13

prior written notice to Customer of the relevant delay, Buyer shall be entitled
to, and Seller shall pay to Buyer, liquidated damages in accordance with this
Section 1.14.

(b)     The parties agree that damages for delay are difficult to calculate
accurately and, therefore, agree to fix as liquidated damages, and not as a
penalty, an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) per week of the aggregate price
of the System, Equipment or Software, as the case may be, including, without
limitation, Installation charges therefor, which has not been shipped (with
respect to items which Customer is to install) or placed in-service (with
respect to a System or items which Seller is to install) by the scheduled date
("Delayed Equipment or Software"), up to a maximum of (i) with respect to a
System, ten (10%) percent of the price of the Delayed Equipment or Software, and
(ii) with respect to items of Equipment or Software, ten (10%) percent of the
price of the Delayed Equipment or Software.

(c)     Buyer will inform Seller of the imposition of any liquidated damages in
writing. All such liquidated damages shall be paid to Buyer in the form of
credits against the payments due for Equipment, Software or Services and,
accordingly, within thirty (30) calendar days following the date on which Seller
is informed, Buyer can deduct from the payments due to Seller the sums necessary
for the payment of the liquidated damages. In the event the Purchase Order
pursuant to which the liquidated damages arose is terminated, Buyer can directly
charge Seller the value of the liquidated damages, and Seller shall be obligated
to pay any such liquidated damages immediately upon being informed of the
imposition of the liquidated damages, except to the extent they are being
contested in good faith. If Seller fails to pay any such liquidated damages
within thirty (30) days, (except to the extent they are being contested in good
faith) interest shall accrue at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%)
percent per month, or such lesser rate as may be the maximum permissible rate
under applicable law. It is expressly agreed that the liquidated damages
provided in this Section 1.14 and their payment do not extinguish the
obligations Seller is required to perform, which obligations shall continue
until fully performed, notwithstanding such liquidated damages. The parties
agree that Seller's payment of liquidated damages shall be Buyer's sole and
exclusive remedy for Seller's delay.

1.15    TRANSPORTATION

        Seller's prices for Products and Licensed Materials do not include
freight charges or related transportation Services or charges therefor, unless
expressly stated in writing by Seller to the contrary. Seller, in accordance
with its normal practices, will arrange for transportation for such items, will
prepay transportation, if appropriate, and invoice transportation charges.

        If Customer elects to route Products and/or Licensed Materials or to
arrange for transportation, Seller will provide related services subject to a
separate fee.

        Premium transportation will only be used with Customer's concurrence.

1.16    PACKING, MARKING, AND SHIPPING:

        Seller shall, at no additional charge, pack and mark shipping containers
in accordance with its standard practices for domestic shipments. Where in order
to meet Customer's requests, Seller packs and/or is required to mark shipping
cartons in accordance with Customer's specifications, Seller shall invoice
Customer its reasonable actual, out-of-pocket additional charges related to such
packing and/or marking.


                                       13
<PAGE>   14

        Seller shall:

(a)     Enclose a packing memorandum with each shipment and, if the shipment
        contains more than one package, identify the package containing the
        memorandum; and

(b)     Mark Products as practicable for identification in accordance with
        Seller's marking specifications (e.g., model/serial number and month and
        year of manufacture).

        Partial shipments under an purchase order may be made by Seller and
separately invoiced.

1.17    TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS:

        Title (except as provided in the clause USE OF INFORMATION and in
Article III) and risk of loss to a Product, Licensed Material, or other item
furnished to Customer under this Agreement shall pass to Customer upon delivery
to the final destination established by Customer's purchase order for the item
or other agreement of the Parties. Delivery of an item to its final destination
by Seller shall be deemed complete at such time as all transportation, interim
warehousing, hauling and hoisting required to be performed by Seller or its
agents under the purchase order for the item have been completed.
Notwithstanding the above, if sooner, title and risk of loss to the item shall
pass to Customer at the point at which Seller or Seller's supplier or agent
turns over possession of the item to Customer, Customer's employee, Customer's
designated carrier, warehouser or hoister, or other Customer agent. For the
purposes of this Section 1.16, receipt of an item by a carrier arranged for by
Seller in performance of a Turnkey Service provided under separate agreement of
the parties shall be deemed receipt by Customer's designated carrier.

        Customer shall notify Seller promptly of any claim with respect to loss,
which occurs while Seller has the risk of loss and shall cooperate in every
reasonable way to facilitate the settlement of any claim.

        Nothing herein shall, during the period either Party has the risk of
loss to an item, relieve the other Party of responsibility for loss of the item
resulting from the acts or omissions of such other Party, or such other Party's
employees or agents.

1.18    PURCHASE MONEY SECURITY INTEREST

        (a)    Seller reserves, and Customer agrees that Seller shall have, a
purchase money security interest in all Products and Licensed Materials supplied
to Customer by Seller under this Agreement until any and all payments and
charges due Seller under this Agreement, including, shipping and installation
charges, are paid in full. Seller shall have the right, at any time during the
Term and without notice to Customer, to file in any state or local jurisdiction
such financing statements (e.g., UCC-1 financing statements) as Seller deems
necessary to perfect its purchase money security interest hereunder. Upon
request by Seller, Customer hereby agrees to execute all documents necessary to
secure Seller's purchase money security interest including UCC-1 or such other
documents Seller deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing
obligation of Customer to execute such documents, Customer hereby irrevocably
appoints Seller as its attorney-in-fact for purposes of executing and filing
such financing statements and such other documents prepared by Seller or its
designated agent for purposes of perfecting Seller's security interest
hereunder.

        (b)    In addition to any other remedy available to Seller as provided
herein, by common law and by statute, Seller may exercise its right to reclaim
all Products and Licensed Materials sold to Customer


                                       14
<PAGE>   15

pursuant to UCC-2-702 or such other applicable provision as it may exist from
state to state, upon discovery of Customer's insolvency, provided Seller demands
in writing reclamation of such goods before ten (10) days after receipt of such
goods by Customer, or if such ten (10) day period expires after the commencement
of a bankruptcy case, before twenty (20) days after receipt of such goods by the
Customer.

1.19    COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS:

        Performance under this Agreement shall be subject to all applicable
laws, orders, and regulations of federal, state, and local governmental
entities.

1.20    TAXES:

        Customer shall be liable for and shall reimburse Seller for all taxes
and related charges, however designated (excluding franchise taxes, taxes on
Seller's gross receipts, net income or similar taxes), imposed upon or arising
from the provision of Services, or the transfer, sale, license, or use of
Products, Licensed Materials, or other items provided by Seller. Taxes
reimbursable under this paragraph shall be separately listed on the invoice.

        Seller shall not collect the otherwise applicable tax if the front of
the purchase order indicates that the purchase is exempt from Seller's
collection of such tax and a valid tax exemption certificate is furnished by
Customer to Seller.

1.21    TRAINING:

        Customer will receive 200 person-days of training per year during the
Term at no charge to Customer. Such training will consist of Seller's standard
training for Customer's personnel in the planning for and the operation and
maintenance of Products and Services provided hereunder. This free training may
be used at Customer's discretion during each year, but Customer is not permitted
to carry forward any unused training days from one year to the following year.
Customer may, however, shift training days from a later year into an earlier
year. Any additional training will be made available to Customer in accordance
with Seller's published prices at Seller's training locations or as otherwise
mutually agreed.

1.22    TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE:

        Customer may, upon written notice to Seller, terminate any purchase
order or portion thereof, except with respect (i) to any purchase order for
Systems, or (ii) to Products or Licensed Materials that have already been
shipped and Services that have already been performed.

        For those Products and Licensed Materials not shipped but considered
stock items, Customer agrees that it will pay Seller an order termination fee
equal to one percent (1%) of the price or licensee fee for such items.

        For those Products and Licensed Materials not shipped and considered
customized or non-stock items, Customer agrees to pay a termination fee based
upon Seller's actual, reasonable incurred expenses (after adjustment for
recoveries and/or salvage value, if any), including associated general and
administrative expenses plus a reasonable profit.

        For Services in process, Customer agrees to pay for all Services
rendered to date, plus Seller's actual, reasonable incurred expenses, plus a
reasonable profit, for those Services ordered by Customer and subsequently
terminated.


                                       15
<PAGE>   16

        Customer may issue "holds" on purchase orders or suspend performance
under this Agreement, in whole or in part, with Seller's prior written consent
and upon terms that will compensate Seller for any loss, damages, or expenses
incurred.

1.23    CANCELLATION FOR BREACH:

        In the event Seller or Customer is in material breach or default of this
Agreement or any purchase order placed hereunder and such breach or default
continues for a period of forty-five (45) days after the receipt of written
notice (and such additional time as may be agreed upon by the parties), then
Seller or Customer shall have the right to cancel that part of any purchase
order affected by the breach or default without any charge, obligation or
liability, except for those items already delivered and installed.
Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, in the event that
Customer shall cancel a purchase order in part for failure of Seller to deliver
items or perform Services in accordance with such purchase order, Customer shall
be entitled to return additional items furnished under such purchase order to
the extent they are unusable without such items as are subject to such
cancellation. Both Parties shall cooperate in every reasonable way to facilitate
the remedy of a breach or default hereunder within such forty-five (45) day
period.

1.24    PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS:

(a)     Seller will defend all suits against Customer alleging that any
Products, Software or Service furnished hereunder infringes any United States
patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property right
and will indemnify and hold Customer harmless against all damages and costs
which by final judgment, settlement or award of arbitration may be assessed
against Customer on account of such infringement; provided that Seller (i) shall
have prompt written notice of all claims of such infringement and suit and full
opportunity and authority to assume the sole defense of and to settle such suit,
and (ii) shall be furnished upon Seller's request all information and assistance
available to Customer for such defense. If any such item is, in any such suit,
held to constitute infringement and the use of any such item is enjoined, Seller
will, at its sole cost and expense, without adversely affecting the ability of
the Customer's System to perform in accordance with the Specifications,
including those respecting service received by subscribers, billing,
administration and maintenance, at its option, either procure for Customer the
right to continue using such item; or replace it with a suitable non-infringing
item; or modify it so it becomes non-infringing; or, with consent of Customer,
remove the item and refund the purchase prices less a reasonable allowance for
use, damage and obsolescence, provided, however, that if the removal of the
enjoined item renders the Customer's System inoperable, or adversely affects the
ability of the Customer's System to perform in accordance with the
Specifications, including those respecting service received by subscribers,
billing, administration and maintenance, Seller shall also remove the Customer's
System and refund to Customer the amount paid therefor less a reasonable amount
for use, damage and obsolescence. With regard to any item set forth in
Attachment D (the Indicia as defined in Article 5 of Attachment D), is held to
constitute an infringement and the use of any such item is enjoined, Seller will
at its sole cost and expense either:

          i.) replace the Indicia with a non-infringement one;
          ii.) procure for Buyer the right to continue using sand Indicia
          iii.) modify the Indicia so that it becomes non-infringing; or,
          iv.) remove the Indicia.


                                       16
<PAGE>   17

          In exercising any of its options under this Section 1.24 Seller shall
minimize disruption of Customer's use of the System and shall consult with
Customer to minimize such disruption prior to taking any actions under this
Section 1.24.

(b)     No undertaking of Seller under this clause shall extend to any such
alleged infringement or violation to the extent that it: (1) arises from
adherence to design modifications, specifications, drawings, or written
instructions which Seller is directed by Customer to follow, but only if such
alleged infringement or violation does not reside in corresponding commercial
Product or Licensed Material of Seller's design or selection; or (2) arises from
adherence to instructions to apply Customer's trademark, trade name, or other
company identification; or (3) resides in a Product or Licensed Material which
is not of Seller's origin and which is furnished by Customer to Seller for use
under this Agreement; or (4) relates to uses of Products or Licensed Materials
provided by Seller in combinations with other Products or Licensed Materials,
furnished either by Seller or others, which combination was not installed,
recommended or otherwise approved by Seller. In the foregoing cases numbered (1)
through (4), Customer will defend and save Seller harmless, subject to the same
terms and conditions and exceptions stated above with respect to the Seller's
rights and obligations under this clause.

(c)     The liability of Seller and Customer with respect to any and all claims,
actions, proceedings, or suits by third parties alleging infringement of
patents, trademarks, or copyrights or violation of trade secrets or proprietary
rights because of, or in connection with, any items furnished pursuant to this
Agreement shall be limited to the specific undertakings contained in this
Section 1.24 and shall not be governed by the Section entitled CUSTOMER'S
REMEDIES.

1.25    USE OF INFORMATION:

        All Information shall remain the property of the furnishing Party. The
furnishing Party grants the receiving Party the right to use such Information
only as follows. Such Information (1) shall not be reproduced or copied, in
whole or part, except for use as authorized or contemplated in this Agreement;
and (2) shall, together with any full or partial copies thereof, be returned or
destroyed when no longer needed. Moreover, when Seller is the receiving Party,
Seller shall use such Information only for the purpose of performing under this
Agreement, and when Customer is the receiving Party, Customer shall use such
Information only (1) to order, (2) to evaluate Products, Licensed Materials or
Services, or (3) to install, use, operate, and maintain the particular Products
or Licensed Materials for which it was originally furnished. Unless the
furnishing Party consents in writing, such Information, except for that part, if
any, which is known to the receiving party free of any confidential obligation,
or which becomes generally known to the public through acts not attributable to
the receiving Party, shall be held in confidence by the receiving Party. The
receiving Party may disclose such Information to other persons, upon the
furnishing Party's prior written authorization, but solely to perform acts which
this clause expressly authorizes the receiving Party to perform itself and
further provided such other person agrees in writing (a copy of which writing
will be provided to the furnishing party at its request) to the same conditions
respecting use of Information contained in this clause and to any other
reasonable conditions requested by the furnishing Party.

        Nothing in this Section 1.25 shall preclude or prohibit a receiving
Party from disclosing any Information if such disclosure is required by law,
rule or regulation or ordered by a court or governmental agency of competent
jurisdiction, provided that such receiving Party shall promptly notify the
furnishing Party, so that the furnishing Party may have an opportunity to seek a
protective order or other appropriate remedy that will permit the receiving


                                       17
<PAGE>   18

Party to avoid such disclosure. In the event that such protective order or other
remedy is not obtained, the receiving Party will disclose only that portion of
the Information as it is obligated to disclose pursuant to such order, and will
use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential
treatment will be accorded to any Information so disclosed.

        The term "Information" as used in this Section 1.25 does not include
Software (whether or not embodied in Firmware) or Related Documentation. The use
of Software and Related Documentation is governed by Article III of this
Agreement. Restrictions on each Party's use or disclosure of Information shall
not apply to Information that the receiving Party can demonstrate: (a) was
independently developed by or for the receiving party without reference to the
Information, or was received without restrictions; or (b) has become generally
available to the public without breach of confidentiality obligations of the
receiving Party; or (c) was in the receiving Party's possession without
restriction or was known by the receiving Party without restriction at the time
of disclosure; or (d) is the subject of a subpoena or other legal or
administrative demand for disclosure; provided, however, that the receiving
Party has given the disclosing Party prompt notice of such demand for disclosure
and the receiving Party reasonably cooperates with the disclosing Party's
efforts to secure an appropriate protective order.

1.26    NOTICES:

        All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing (except where
otherwise stated) and shall be addressed to the addresses set forth below or to
such other address as either Party may designate by notice pursuant hereto. Such

1.29    CUSTOMER'S REMEDIES:

(a)     Customer's exclusive remedies and the entire liability of Seller and its

        (4) For everything other than as set forth above--the amount of direct

(b)     NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, OTHER THAN
        SUBSECTION (a) ABOVE AND ANY OTHER EXPRESS REMEDY SET FORTH IN THIS
        AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY NOR ITS RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, ITS EMPLOYEES OR
        AGENTS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE
        OR LOST PROFITS, REVENUES OR SAVINGS ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR
        THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY PRODUCT, LICENSED MATERIALS, TURNKEY
        ITEMS, SERVICES, TURNKEY SERVICES, OR OTHER ITEMS WHETHER IN AN ACTION
        FOR OR ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, OR
        STRICT LIABILITY. THIS CLAUSE 1.28(b) SHALL SURVIVE FAILURE OF AN
        EXCLUSIVE OR LIMITED REMEDY.

(c)     Customer shall give Seller prompt notice of any claim. Any action or
        proceeding against Seller must be brought within the earlier of

        existence of a cause of action or the end of the applicable period for
        limitation of actions.

1.30    FORCE MAJEURE:

        Except with respect to Customer's obligation to make timely payments
under this Agreement, neither party shall be held responsible for any delay or
failure in performance to the extent that such delay or failure is caused by a
Force Majeure. In the event of a Force Majeure, the Party affected, upon giving
prompt written notice to the other Party, shall be excused from such performance
on a day-for-day basis to the extent of such prevention,

[ * ]   Confidential portions omitted and supplied separately to the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

restriction, or interference (and the other Party shall be excused from
performance of its obligations on a day-for-day basis to the extent such Party's
obligations relate to the performance so prevented, restricted or interfered
with); provided that the Party so affected shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance and both Parties shall
proceed to perform their obligations with dispatch whenever such causes are
removed or cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Seller
experiences a breakdown, labor dispute or embargo with respect to a particular
Seller facility, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the
Products or Licensed Materials affected by such breakdown, labor dispute or
embargo manufactured at another Seller facility.

1.31    ASSIGNMENT:

        Except as provided in this Section 1.31, neither Party shall assign this
Agreement or any right or interest under this Agreement, nor delegate any work
or obligation to be performed under this Agreement (an "assignment") without the
other party's prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Any attempted assignment in contravention of this shall be
void and ineffective. Nothing shall preclude a Party from employing a
subcontractor in carrying out its obligations under this Agreement. A Party's
use of such subcontractor shall not release the Party from its obligations under
this Agreement.

        Upon the acceptance by Seller of any assignment by Customer pursuant to
this Section 1.31 and assumption of the duties under this Agreement by the
assignee and the payment in full of all amounts due and owing under this
Agreement, Customer shall be released and discharged, to the extent of the
assignment, from all further duties under this Agreement.

        Customer has the right to assign this Agreement and to assign its rights
and delegate its duties under this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time
and without Seller's consent, to (1) any corporation resulting from any merger,
consolidation or other reorganization to which Customer is a party; (2) any
corporation, partnership, association, or other person to which Customer may
transfer all or substantially all of the assets or business of Customer existing
at such time, or (3) any entity which controls or is controlled by Customer,
provided that the assignee (a) has the same credit worthiness as Customer, (b)
has not in the past materially breached other agreements with Seller, and (c) is
not a direct competitor of Seller in the wireless telecommunications business.

        Seller has the right to assign this Agreement and to assign its rights
and delegate its duties under this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time
and without Customer's consent, to any present or future Subsidiary of Seller,
or to any combination of the foregoing. Seller shall give Customer prompt
written notice of such assignment.

        Any assignment by Seller pursuant to this Clause shall not relieve
Seller from any obligations or duties under this Agreement unless Customer, upon
being assured as to the financial viability of Seller's assignee, consents to
Seller being released and discharged, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld by Customer.

        For purposes of this Section 1.30, the term "Agreement" includes this
Agreement, any subordinate contract entered into in connection with or as
contemplated by this Agreement and any purchase order placed under such
Agreement or subordinate contract.

1.32    PUBLICITY:

          Each Party shall submit to the other proposed copy of all Advertising
wherein the name, trademark, code, specification or service mark of the other
Party or its Affiliates is mentioned or utilized in any manner whatsoever, and
neither Party shall publish or use such Advertising without the other's prior
written approval. Such approval shall be granted as promptly as possible
(usually within ten (10) days), and may be withheld only for good cause. The
Parties acknowledge that the obtaining of prior written approval for each such
use may be an administrative burden. At the request of either Party, Customer
and Seller will establish mutually acceptable written guidelines that will
constitute pre-authorization for the uses specified therein. Such guidelines
shall be subject to change from time to time at the reasonable request of either
Party.

1.33    APPLICABLE LAW:

          The construction and interpretation of, and the rights and obligations
of the parties pursuant to this Agreement, shall be governed by the laws of the
State of New York without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

1.34    SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS:

        The parties' rights and obligations which, by their nature, would
continue beyond the termination, cancellation, or expiration of this Agreement,
shall survive such termination, cancellation, or expiration.

1.35    SEVERABILITY:

        If any provision in this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or
unenforceable then such provision shall be construed so as to render it
enforceable, to the extent feasible. If no such construction is feasible, such
provision shall be severed from this Agreement and, the remaining portions shall
remain in effect. In the event such invalid or unenforceable provision is
considered an essential element of this Agreement, the parties shall promptly
negotiate a replacement provision.

1.36    NON-WAIVER:

        No waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or the failure
of either Party strictly to enforce any such term or condition on one or more
occasions shall be construed as a waiver of the same or of any other term or
condition of this Agreement on any other occasion.

1.37    CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY

        Each Party, at no charge to the other Party, shall provide such other
Party with such electrical and environmental conditions, technical information,
data, technical support, or assistance as may reasonably be required by such
Party to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, any subordinate
agreement, or purchase order. If either Party fails to provide the required
conditions, information, data, support, or assistance, the other Party shall be
discharged from any such obligation.

1.38    PUBLICATION OF AGREEMENT

        The Parties shall keep the provisions of this Agreement and any purchase
order submitted hereunder confidential except (i) as reasonably necessary for
performance hereunder, (ii) to their respective lenders, accountants and legal
counsel, and (iii) except to the extent disclosure may be required by applicable
laws or regulations, in which latter case, the Party required to make such
disclosure shall promptly inform the other prior to such disclosure in
sufficient time to enable such other Party to make known any objections it may
have to such disclosure. Such other Party shall have the right to seek a
protective order to assure that such information will be withheld from the
public record. The Party required to make the disclosure shall, upon request of
the other Party and at such other Party's expense, provide reasonable assistance
in obtaining such protective order.

1.39    ARBITRATION:

        Any dispute regarding any right, obligation, duty or liability arising
out of the provisions of this Agreement, shall be referred upon written demand
by either party within sixty (60) days, to the Intercompany Review Board (the
"Board").

        The Board shall be a standing committee composed of two members each
from Seller and Customer. Each Party shall notify the other of the name, title
and address of its representatives appointed to the Board.

        Upon resignation or retirement of any member from the Board, or
replacement of any member of the Board, the Party which placed the member on the
Board shall immediately notify the other of the name, title, and address of that
member's replacement. Any reference herein to the Board, or members of the
Board, shall include the above designees of the members.

        Upon referral of any dispute to the Board, the members of the Board may
meet in person or by telephone, or confer by any other means to resolve the
dispute. A formal resolution from the Board must be in writing and signed by all
four members.

        If a controversy referred to the Board is not resolved within sixty (60)
days of such referral, either Party may request initiation of mediation of the
controversy under the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration
Association. A Party receiving such request shall not be required to consent to
mediation, but each Party hereby represents that it will be its policy to act in
good faith and genuinely to consider mediation.

        If the controversy has not been resolved within sixty (60) days of the
initiation of mediation, or if the notified party is not willing to engage in
mediation, which may be inferred by the notifying party if the notified party's
written concurrence is not received within thirty (30) days, such controversy
shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to this Section 1.39 and the then
current rules, and under supervision of, the American Arbitration Association
("AAA"). The duty to arbitrate shall extend to any officer, employee, agent,
Affiliate or Subsidiary making or defending any claim which would otherwise be
arbitrable hereunder. The arbitration shall be held in New York City before a
single arbitrator who is knowledgeable in commercial business transactions and
wireless communications and who is reasonably acceptable to both Parties. If the
Parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty (30) days, the
arbitrator shall be selected by the President of the AAA. The arbitrator's
decision and award shall be final and binding and may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall not have the power to award
punitive or exemplary damages. Issues of arbitrability shall be determined in
accordance with the federal substantive and procedural laws.


                                       22
<PAGE>   23

        Each Party shall bear its own attorney's fees associated with any
mediation or arbitration instituted hereunder and other costs shall be borne as
provided by the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association;
provided, however, if court proceedings to stay litigation or compel arbitration
are necessary, the Party who unsuccessfully opposes such proceedings shall pay
all associated costs, expenses and attorney's fees which are reasonably incurred
by the other Party.

        The procedures specified in this Section 1.39 shall be the sole and
exclusive procedures for the resolution of disputes between the Parties arising
out of or relating to this Agreement; provided, however, nothing herein shall be
deemed to require arbitration of matters deemed not arbitrable under federal
law, or to prohibit a Party from seeking a preliminary injunction or other
preliminary judicial relief if in such Party's judgment such action is necessary
to avoid irreparable damage. Despite any such action, the Parties will continue
to participate in good faith in the procedures specified herein. All applicable
statutes of limitation shall be tolled while the procedures specified in this
clause are pending, and nothing herein shall be deemed to bar any Party from
taking such action as may be required to effectuate such tolling.

        Except as provided expressly in this Section 1.39, nothing in this
Agreement shall in any way affect or limit the rights of the Parties to pursue
remedies at law or in equity.

1. 40   DUTIES OF GOOD FAITH

        Seller acknowledges that Customer, in entering into this Agreement, has
relied on the good will and trust that Seller has assured Customer that Seller
deserves. Customer acknowledges that Seller, in entering into this Agreement,
has relied on the good will and trust that Customer has assured Seller that
Customer deserves. Customer and Seller accordingly agree to discharge all of
their obligations and exercise all judgments and action hereunder in utmost good

Seller.

                                  2. ARTICLE II

                PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO THE PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS

2.1     GENERAL:

        The provisions of this Article II shall be applicable to the purchase of
Products from Seller. If Software is also to be licensed for use on a purchased

provisions of Articles III and IV shall also be applicable.

2.2     PRODUCT AVAILABILITY:

        Seller shall notify Customer, usually at least one (1) year, before
Seller discontinues accepting orders for a Seller's Manufactured Product sold
under this Agreement. Upon receipt of such notice with respect to a Product,
Customer shall have the right to place purchase orders for its reasonably
anticipated future needs for such Product. Where Seller offers a functionally
equivalent Product (which Product shall be the same in Form, Fit and Function)
for sale, the notification period may vary.


                                       23
<PAGE>   24

2.3     DOCUMENTATION/DRAWINGS:

        For each new swapout market where the Customer pays for cell site
engineering, Seller will provide, at no additional charge, the following: (a)
One (1) set of CD/ROM and one set of paper documentation at the MSC site, (b)
One (1) Autoplex CD/ROM per technician based on one technician for each 15
cells, and (c) One (1) set of drawings per cell site, as identified by the 183
or equivalent engineered specifications. Such documentation will be that
customarily provided by Seller to its Customers at no additional charge and
shall be sufficient to acquaint Customer's personnel with the System, Products
and Software provided hereunder and enable Customer to specify, order, operate
and maintain such Products and Software. Such documentation shall be provided
prior to, with, or shortly after the shipment of the Products from Seller to
Customer. Additional copies of the documentation are available at prices set
forth in the Customer Price List.

2.4     PRODUCT COMPLIANCES:

        Seller represents that a Product furnished hereunder shall comply, to
the extent required, with applicable federal and state laws, rules and
regulations pertaining to the Products, including the requirements of Part 22 of
the Federal Communication Commission's Rules and Regulations pertaining to
cellular radio in effect upon delivery of such Product. In addition, Seller
represents that a Product furnished hereunder shall comply, to the extent
required, with the requirements of Subpart J of Part 15 of the Federal
Communication Commission's Rule and Regulations in effect upon delivery of such
Product, including those sections concerning the labeling of such Product and
the suppression of radio frequency and electromagnetic radiation to specified
levels. Seller makes no undertaking with respect to harmful interference caused
by (i) installation, repair, modification or change of Products or Software by
other than Seller, Seller's agents or employees or subcontractors; (ii) Products
being subjected to misuse, neglect, accident or abuse by other than Seller,
Seller's agents or employees or subcontractors; (iii) Products or Software being
used in a manner not in accordance with operating instructions or in a suitable
installation environment.

        Seller assumes no responsibility under this Section 2.4 for items
supplied by Customer, including antennas, power equipment and batteries. Type
acceptance or certification of such items shall be the sole responsibility of
Customer.

2.5     PRODUCT CHANGES:

        Prior to the shipment of a Product, Seller may at any time make changes
in a Product furnished pursuant to this Agreement, or modify the drawings and
Specifications relating thereto (subject to the definition of "Specifications"),
or substitute Products of later design to fill a purchase order, provided the
changes, modifications, or substitutions under normal and proper use do not
impact upon the Form, Fit, or Function of an ordered Product as identified in
the Specifications and do not adversely impact the ability of the Product or
System as a whole to operate in accordance with those Specifications.

        Seller shall notify Customer of all changes to Products which, in
Seller's determination, are required to remedy a non-conformance to Seller's
applicable Specifications, to correct design defects that are of type that
result in inoperative electrical or mechanical conditions or an extremely
unsatisfactory operating condition, or which are recommended to enhance safety.

        If Seller has furnished and installed a Product which is subject to such
a change, Seller will implement such change, at its expense, if it is announced
within fifteen (15) years from the date of shipment of that Product, by, at its
option, either (1) modifying the Product at Customer's site; (2) modifying the
Product which Customer has returned to Seller in accordance with Seller's
instructions; or (3) replacing the Product requiring the change with a


                                       24
<PAGE>   25

replacement Product for which such change has already been implemented. However,
if Seller has not engineered the original Product application and, accordingly,
office records are not readily available to Seller, Seller will provide the
generic change information and associated parts for Customer's use in applying
such change. If Seller has not installed such Product, Seller, will, at its
expense, furnish the parts and documentation necessary to implement such change
if it is announced within fifteen (15) years from the date of shipment of that
Product. Customer may notify Seller of any problems which it considers fall
within the categories described above. If Customer does not make or permit
Seller to make the change as stated above within one (1) year from the date of
change notification, subsequent repairs or replacements under this Section 2.5
and under Section 2.9, "PRODUCT WARRANTY", may, at Seller's option, be billed to
Customer.

2.6     CONTINUING PRODUCT SUPPORT - PARTS AND SERVICES:

        In addition to repairs provided for under the Product Warranty, Seller
offers repair Services and Repair Parts in accordance with Seller's repair
Services and Repair Parts practices and terms and conditions in effect as of the
Effective Date, for Seller's Manufactured Products furnished pursuant to this
Agreement. Such repair Services and Repair Parts shall be available while Seller
is manufacturing or stocking such Products or Repair Parts, but in no event less
than five (5) years after such Product's discontinued availability effective
date. Seller may use either new, remanufactured, reconditioned, refurbished, or
functionally equivalent Products or parts in the furnishing of repairs or
replacements under this Agreement.

        Seller will give Customer reasonable notice of its intention to
discontinue manufacture of such Repair Parts so that Customer may order
additional parts for inclusion in its inventory, provided that nothing in this
sentence shall limit Seller's obligation under this Section 2.6 or Section 2.2.
In addition, when Seller ceases to supply such parts and a functional equivalent
has not been designated, it will attempt to locate another source of supply for
Customer. If no other source of supply is available, then Seller shall provide
Customer with nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual licenses to use intellectual
property and Product manufacturing information, to the extent Seller can grant
such licenses, so that Customer will have sufficient information to obtain
functionally equivalent parts from other sources.

2.7     SPECIFICATIONS:

        Upon request, Seller shall provide to Customer, at no charge, one (1)
copy of Seller's Specifications applicable to Products orderable hereunder.
Additional copies are available at the applicable price in the Customer Price
List. Such Specifications, together with all Products and Software and all
applicable training documentation, are all that is necessary to operate or
maintain the System, Products and Software.

2.8     CUSTOMER TECHNICAL SUPPORT:

        Seller provides Customer Technical Support for the AUTOPLEX Cellular
System through the Customer Technical Support Organization (CTSO). The Cellular
CTSO is available 24 hours per day 365 days a year and is solely dedicated to
the Seller's cellular infrastructure product line. The Cellular CTSO provides
diagnostic center support, performance measurement and system engineering
services. Customer Technical Support is currently provided at no cost to the
Customer. Seller agrees that during the Term it shall not commence to charge
Customer for such Services unless it generally commences to charge other
customers of Seller in comparable circumstances. Special, unusual or customized
services may be billable, depending upon the nature of the request.

2.9     PRODUCT WARRANTY:

(a)     Seller warrants to Customer during the Warranty Period that:

          (i)  As of the date title to Products passes to Customer, Seller will
               have the right to sell, transfer, and assign such Products and
               the title conveyed by Seller shall be good and valid;

         (ii)  Seller's Manufactured Products will be free from defects in
               material and workmanship, and will conform to and perform in
               accordance with the Specifications, or any other agreed-upon
               specifications referenced in the purchase order for such Product;
               and

        (iii)  With respect to Vendor Items, Seller, to the extent permitted,
               does hereby assign to Customer the warranties given to Seller by
               its vendor of such Vendor Items. Such assignment will be
               effective on the date of shipment of such Vendor Items. With
               respect to Vendor Items recommended by Seller in the
               Specifications for which the vendor's warranty cannot be assigned
               to Customer, or if assigned, less than sixty (60) days remain of
               the vendor's warranty at the time of assignment, Seller warrants
               for sixty (60) days from the date of shipment or, if installed by
               Seller, on acceptance by Customer or thirty (30) days from the
               date Seller submits its notice of completion of its installation
               whichever is sooner, that such Vendor's Items will be free from
               defects in material and workmanship. Upon written request of
               Customer, Seller shall identify those items in its Customer Price
               Lists that are Vendor Items.

    ** The Warranty Period for a repaired Product or part thereof repaired
       under or for a replacement Product of Part thereof furnished in lieu of
       repair under this Warranty is the period listed or the unexpired term of
       the new Product Warranty Period, whichever is longer.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Customer's use of
any Product In Revenue Service or to provide training or hands-on experience to
Customer's personnel shall, if prior to Seller's notice of installation
completion, commence the applicable Warranty Period; provided, however, this
provision shall not apply to training provided by Seller nor to the extent that
Customer's personnel merely familiarize themselves with the Systems without
actual operation of the Products.


                                       26

(c)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, any cellular Products purchased directly
from Seller under the Existing Contract, which Products were shipped 3 years or
less prior to the Amended Effective Date, shall have its warranty extended for
an additional year.

(d)     If under normal and proper use, a defect or nonconformity appears in a
Product during the applicable Warranty Period and Customer promptly notifies
Seller and confirms such notice in writing of such defect or nonconformity and

non-conforming item, Seller, at its option, will either repair or replace the
same without charge at its manufacturing or repair facility or provide a refund
or credit based on the original purchase price; provided, however, that Seller's
option to provide a refund or credit shall not apply to those defects which
materially affect (i) the Product's and System's ability to deliver a service to
the end users or (ii) the billing, administration or maintenance capabilities of

Replaced Products or parts shall become Seller's property.

(e)     If Customer and Seller have a disagreement as to whether or not a
problem is a defect or nonconformity covered by this warranty, Seller agrees to
correct the problem and bill Customer for the corrective action under the
Section entitled INVOICES AND TERMS OF PAYMENT. Seller will segregate such
bills. Such disputed warranty claims will be subject to resolution in accordance
with the Section entitled DISPUTE RESOLUTION, and if resolved in Customer's
favor, Seller agrees to credit Customer for the costs of corrective action
covered by warranty.

(f)     Seller makes no warranty with respect to defective conditions or
non-conformities caused by Products being (i) subjected to misuse, neglect,
accident or abuse by anyone other than Seller or its subcontractors, employees
or agents; (ii) improperly wired, repaired or altered by anyone other than
Seller or its subcontractors, employees or agents; (iii) improperly installed,
stored or maintained by anyone other than Seller or its subcontractors,
employees or agents; or (iv) used in a manner not in accordance with
Specifications or written operating instructions.

(g)     If as a result of a defect or non-conformity covered by this warranty,
Customer is not able to offer services to its subscribers, billing,
administration or maintenance in accordance with the Specifications, Seller
shall at its sole cost and expense repair or correct the problem or replace the
defective Product and ship any required replacement Product (or components
thereof) to Customer as promptly as possible. If such repair, replacement, or
installation of replacement Product requires the services of Seller's service
personnel at Customer's sites, Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense,
dispatch such service personnel as are required to correct such problem
immediately upon being notified thereof by Customer.

related power and transmission Products furnished under this Agreement to a
third party, and where such Products will remain in place and operational for
the purpose of continuing to provide wireless telecommunications service in the
area for which such Products were installed, or where Customer elects to
transfer Products to an Affiliate for reuse within the Territory, Customer may
transfer its right to Use the Licensed Materials, including Software, furnished

Software maintenance for such software as the transferor, provided the
transferee continues to pay the fees, including the Annual Release Maintenance
Fee associated with such Licensed Materials or maintenance.

(b)     Except as provided in Section 3.10 subsection (a) immediately preceding,
and except as may otherwise in this Agreement be provided expressly, Customer
