Management Committee shall specify, but in all events the Planning Group shall submit the
overall Business Plan for Royal Street to the Management Committee within sixty (60) days

submitted, make such modifications as the Management Committee deems appropriate or
require the Planning Group to revise the proposal and resubmit it to the Management
Committee in accordance with such guidance and at such time as the Management Committee
shall set.

          (b) At least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of each twelve (12) month period

          (a) The Parties acknowledge that they intend for Royal Street to qualify as an Entrepreneur
and a Very Small Business under the FCC Rules, and accordingly agree to cooperate in good faith
with each other and to use reasonable efforts to make all necessary filings and other
communications with the FCC which the Parties believe are reasonably necessary or appropriate to
facilitate the processing and grant of any application for any License (provided that nothing
contained in this Section 4.1 (a) shall (i) require any Party to agree to the amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, any of the Ancillary Agreements or any
other agreements entered into by any of the Parties in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, (ii) require the expenditure of funds by any Party other than as expressly
provided for herein or in the Ancillary Agreements or (iii) impose any incremental substantive
obligations on any Party which are not otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement or the

          (b) C9 Wireless hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the ***, before it or any direct or indirect Affiliate undergoes a Change of Control, acquires
a new interest or investment in, or assumes a new officer, director or key management position
with, any Person that may reasonably be expected to result in C9 Wireless’ loss or threatened loss
of its status as an Entrepreneur or Very Small Business, once so qualified, it will consult with
GWI concerning the Change of Control, acquisition, investment or position and shall not permit or
make such Change of Control, acquisition, investment or assume such position where GWI reasonably
concludes, and so notifies C9 Wireless in writing within ten (10) days following such initial
consultation (and GWI shall be deemed to have consented to such action absent C9 Wireless’ receipt
of such written notice within such period), that such action will result in C9 Wireless’ loss of
its Entrepreneur or Very Small Business status.

          (c) Prior to the ***, neither C9 Wireless nor any Person that owns, directly or
indirectly, any ownership interest in C9 Wireless, shall permit any direct or indirect Change of
Control, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge (other than pledges of equity of C9 Wireless as
permitted by Section 5.1 (d), and, subject to Section 5.1 (d), any foreclosures resulting
therefrom), hypothecation, mortgage or other disposal or encumbrance of any beneficial or economic
interest in its Voting Securities without the prior written consent of GWI, which consent may be
withheld by GWI in its sole discretion.

          (d) During the term of this Agreement, the business of C9 Wireless shall be limited to
activities related to the wireless telecommunications business in connection with C9 Wireless’
investment in Royal Street and, prior to the ***, C9 Wireless shall not undertake any
actions or activities, nor permit any of its investors, shareholders, members or Affiliates to
undertake any actions or activities, which could result in a loss of Royal Street’s status as an
Entrepreneur and Very Small Business.

-20-

 

     4.2. Maintenance of Financing.

          C9 Wireless shall (a) use all commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the
availability of the Financing; (b) identify the sources of the Financing to GWI at the
earliest practicable date; (c) provide written evidence of the Financing to GWI, which may
include commitment letters or binding letters of intent, at any time and from time to
time, as reasonably requested by GWI; (d) provide such additional information regarding
the Financing as GWI or its advisors may reasonably request, and (e) not assume any
indebtedness except indebtedness that: (i) would not jeopardize C9 Wireless’ or Royal
Street’s status as an Entrepreneur or a Very Small Business or otherwise adversely affect
the designated entity qualifications of Royal Street pursuant to Section 4.1(d) or (ii) is
not secured by any Liens or interests in property that would be in derogation of MetroPCS
Wireless’ security interests or would violate the Financing. The Parties acknowledge and
agree that in no event shall any lender to C9 Wireless or other provider of the Financing
be deemed to have or be given any control under this Agreement, any of the Ancillary
Agreements, the constituent documents of C9 Wireless or otherwise to control Royal Street,
C9 Wireless or any of their respective Affiliates.

     4.3.
[Intentionally deleted]

     4.4. Successful Bidder. If Royal Street is a Successful Bidder, as soon as
practicable following the conclusion of Auction No. 58, the Members shall cause Royal
Street to create a schedule, which schedule shall be subject to the approval of the
Initial Members (the “Auction Schedule”), setting forth (i) each License granted to Royal
Street in Auction No. 58, (ii) the purchase price paid by Royal Street for such License,
and (iii) the amount of each Bidding Credit granted to Royal Street in Auction No. 58 in
connection with such License.

     4.5. Third Party Financing. If Royal Street requires financing over and
above the amounts available to it under the Credit Agreement, and MetroPCS Wireless is
unwilling or unable to provide such financing on terms reasonably acceptable to Royal
Street, then Royal Street will use reasonable efforts to secure such financing from
unaffiliated third parties on commercially reasonable terms in accordance with Section
4.2 hereof.

     4.6. Competition.

          (a) During the term of this Agreement, neither C9 Wireless nor any of its

spectrum allocated for telecommunications services in the United States; or

               (iii) engage in any retail CMRS activity that would be competitive with GWI’s or
MetroPCS’s products and services or Royal Street’s Products and Services in any of the
markets in which any MetroPCS Party is the licensee of a CMRS system, or is a lessee of
PCS spectrum or reseller of PCS.

-21-

 

          (b) The Parties acknowledge that the MetroPCS Parties currently engage in, and will
in the future engage in, activities that are competitive with Royal Street Products and
Services, and agree that nothing in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall
preclude the MetroPCS Parties from continuing to engage in any such activity without
restriction. The Parties further acknowledge that the MetroPCS Parties from time to time
might obtain FCC licenses through the acquisition of entities that hold FCC licenses or
otherwise, and agree that nothing in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall
preclude the MetroPCS Parties from continuing to engage in any such acquisitions or
activity outside of Auction No. 58 without any obligation or liability to Royal Street or
to any of its Members.

          (c) The Parties further acknowledge and agree that investors in the MetroPCS Parties
may have, or from time to time may acquire, interests in other companies that hold FCC
licenses, or are seeking to acquire FCC licenses, or access to spectrum through auction,
lease, acquisition or otherwise, and that such companies may engage in activities that are
competitive with Royal Street products and services.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the MetroPCS Parties
may enter into a joint venture, alliance or other cooperative relationship with an
Entrepreneur or Very Small Business other than C9 Wireless.

          (e) Neither Royal Street nor any Member shall have any right, by virtue of this
Agreement, to share or participate in such other investments or activities of the other
Members described in this Section 4.6 or to the income or proceeds derived therefrom.
Except as otherwise provided herein, no Member shall incur any liability to Royal Street
or to any other Member as a result of engaging in any other business or venture.

     4.7. Cooperation. The Parties hereby covenant and agree that if the
participation of any of them as a Member of Royal Street or their performance of their
obligations hereunder results in a regulatory limitation on any Member’s ability to pursue
its business objectives outside Royal Street, including regulatory limitations on the
amount of spectrum in which any Party may have an interest, the Members shall cooperate in
good faith in reasonable respects to resolve any such regulatory limitation in a manner
that is in the best long term interests of Royal Street and the Members (provided that
nothing contained in this section shall (A) require any Party to agree to the amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, any of the Ancillary Agreements
or any other agreements entered into by any of the Parties in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby or (B) require the expenditure of funds by any Party
other than as expressly provided for herein or in the Ancillary Agreements).

     4.8. Compliance With Law. C9 Wireless covenants and agrees that, as the
controlling Member of Royal Street, C9 Wireless will not knowingly allow or cause Royal
Street to materially violate applicable FCC Rules (including FCC Rules pertaining to
status as an Entrepreneur or Very Small Business).

     4.9 Maintenance of Records. C9 Wireless shall maintain its records,
books of account and bank accounts separate and apart from those of the shareholder(s),
principals and Affiliates of C9 Wireless, the Affiliates of the shareholder of C9 Wireless
or any other Person, and shall observe such formalities as are necessary to preserve the
separate identity of C9

-22-

 

Wireless from that of its shareholders, principals and Affiliates, the
Affiliates of the shareholder(s) of C9 Wireless or any other Person.

ARTICLE 5

Transfer Restrictions

     5.1. Transfers.

          (a) Subject to Sections 5.l(b), (c) and (d), each Member agrees that it
shall not Transfer, directly or indirectly, or permit any Transfer of, directly or
indirectly, in any single transaction or series of related transactions, any or all of the
LLC Units that are Beneficially Owned by it until the ***, except (i) with
the written approval of the Initial Members, (ii) pursuant to the Put (if exercisable
prior thereto in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 5.4), or (iii)
pursuant to the exercise by GWI of its Rights of First Refusal in accordance with the

Member Transfer, directly or indirectly, or permit any Transfer of, directly or
indirectly, in any single transaction or series of related transactions, less than all of
the LLC Units that are Beneficially Owned by it.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.1 (a), any Initial Member
may at any time Transfer all, but no less than all, of its LLC Units to one or more of its
Affiliates without the prior written consent of any other Initial Member;
provided, that (i) contemporaneously with any such Transfer of LLC Units any such
Affiliate becomes a party to a counterpart of this Agreement, (ii) such Transfer will not
result in a termination of Royal Street under Code Section 708(b)(l)(B), (iii) any
required consent or approval from a Governmental Entity has been obtained, if prior
consent or approval is required, or sought, if consent or approval may be obtained after
the fact, (iv) such Affiliate shall remain an Affiliate during the term of this Agreement,
and (v) such Transfer does not adversely affect the qualifications of Royal Street under
the FCC Rules as an “Entrepreneur” or as a “Very Small Business”.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.1 (a), GWI shall be free to
Transfer its LLC Units without the consent of any Member to any Person to which GWI is
assigning or transferring all or substantially all of the FCC authorizations issued to GWI
provided such assignment or transfer has been approved by the FCC and provided
further, that (i) contemporaneously with any such Transfer of LLC Units any transferee
of GWI’s LLC Units becomes a party to a counterpart of this Agreement, and (ii) any
required consent or approval from a Governmental Entity has been obtained, if prior
consent or approval is required, or sought, if consent or approval may be obtained after
the fact.

          (d) C9 Wireless may pledge any or all of its LLC Units to a lender, subject to the
condition that (i) such lender may not in any event foreclose upon its security interest
in such LLC Units (either directly or through a foreclosure on the equity interests in C9
Wireless) at any time prior to the *** if such foreclosure would result in
the loss of any License or a requirement by Royal Street to make any Unjust Enrichment
Payment which would not otherwise have been lost or made, respectively, (ii) lender must
provide C9 Wireless and GWI prior written notice of its intention to foreclose at least
ten (10) days prior to taking any action,

-23-

 

and (iii) lender must agree to allow C9 Wireless ten (10) days, following receipt of
notice by both C9 Wireless and GWI, to cure any default.

          (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement that might be construed to the
contrary, C9 Wireless agrees that it shall not transfer or offer to transfer any portion
of its LLC Units to a non-Member prior to the expiration of the ***
and subject to the GWI rights of first refusal established in Sections 5.2 and 5.3.

     5.2. Right of First Refusal for Transfer of LLC Units.

          (a) Subject to Section 5.4(f), in the event that any Member other than a MetroPCS
Party (the “Exiting Member”) has received a Bona Fide Offer from a third party to, and
proposes to, Transfer its LLC Units to such third party, in accordance with and subject to
the limitations set forth in Section 5.1, then, prior to Transferring such LLC Units (the
“Transferred Securities”), the Exiting Member shall promptly deliver a written notice (the
“Transfer Notice”) to Royal Street and the other Members stating that the Exiting Member
proposes to Transfer the Transferred Securities. The Transfer Notice shall (i) specify the
proposed purchase price for, and all other material terms with respect to, the sale of the
Transferred Securities, (ii) identify the proposed purchaser, (iii) specify the date
scheduled for the Transfer (which date shall not be less than sixty (60) days after the
date the Transfer Notice is delivered), and (iv) have attached thereto a copy of such Bona
Fide Offer, and any ancillary agreements or documents, containing all of the material
terms and conditions on which the Transferred Securities are to be sold.

          (b) By
written notice (an “Election Notice”) delivered to Royal Street, the Exiting
Member and the other Members within sixty (60) days after receipt of a Transfer Notice,
GWI shall have the right to purchase all or a portion of the Transferred Securities on
terms and conditions equal to the proposed purchase price of the Transferred Securities;
provided, that if the Exiting Member proposes to transfer the Transferred
Securities in a transaction that would qualify in whole or in part as a tax-free exchange,
then the Exiting Member and GWI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to structure the
acquisition by GWI of the Transferred Securities to receive similar tax-free treatment;
provided, further, that the inability of an Exiting Member and GWI to so structure
the acquisition by GWI of the Transferred Securities shall not relieve the Exiting Member
from its obligation to Transfer the Transferred Securities to GWI, and GWI shall have no
obligation to pay any resulting Tax; provided, finally, that if the Transfer of
the Transferred Securities to the proposed purchaser would trigger an Unjust Enrichment
Payment that would not otherwise be triggered if GWI or its designee were the purchaser,
then the purchase price shall be reduced by the amount of the Unjust Enrichment Payment.
An Exiting Member shall be prohibited from delivering a new Transfer Notice relating to
the sale of the Transferred Securities to the purchaser proposed in its initial Transfer
Notice, or any Affiliate of such proposed purchaser, until after the sixty (60) day period
following GWI’s receipt of the initial Transfer Notice in the event that GWI does not
elect to purchase the Transferred Securities, or until after the ROFR Termination Date, as
it may be extended in accordance with this Section 5.2, in the event that GWI does elect
to purchase the Transferred Securities.

          (c) If GWI shall have elected to purchase the Transferred Securities in accordance
with Section 5.2(b), the Exiting Member and GWI shall use reasonable efforts, including
reasonable efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals, to consummate the closing of the

-24-

 

purchase of the Transferred Securities as soon as practicable and in any
 event within
*** after the date of the Election Notice in the event that no regulatory
approval is required, and within *** after the date of the Election Notice in
the event that any regulatory approval is required. In the event that any regulatory
approval is required, an application for such regulatory approval shall be filed no later
than sixty (60) days following the date of the Election Notice and the closing of the
purchase of the Transferred Securities shall occur no later than ten (10) days following
receipt of all required regulatory approvals by Final Order, and the “ROFR Termination
Date” shall be either (i) the 10th day following receipt of all required
regulatory approvals by Final Order or (ii) the date on which any required regulatory
approval is denied by Final Order, whichever occurs first. In the event that the Parties
have complied with this Section 5.2(c) but any required regulatory approvals are not
obtained within such *** period, the ROFR Termination Date may be extended by
either the Exiting Member or GWI until such approvals are received or denied by a Final
Order, but in no event for a period of more than an additional ***. Any such
closing shall be subject to the condition precedent that any required consent or approval
from any Governmental Entity shall have been obtained.

          (d) In the event that GWI does not elect to purchase the Transferred Securities, GWI
may designate another Person to purchase the Transferred Securities, and the Exiting
Member shall sell the Transferred Securities to such designated purchaser, provided,
however, that such designated purchaser shall comply with the terms and conditions set
forth in this Section 5.2 that would otherwise have applied to GWI; provided,
further, that if the Transfer of the Transferred Securities to such designated
purchaser would trigger an Unjust Enrichment Payment that would not otherwise be triggered
if the Exiting Member sold the Transferred Securities to the proposed purchaser, then the
purchase price shall not be reduced by the amount of the Unjust Enrichment
Payment.

          (e) In the event that GWI does not elect to purchase the Transferred Securities
itself or designate another Person to purchase the Transferred Securities pursuant to
Section 5.2(d) (or fails to consummate such purchase prior to the ROFR Termination Date,
as it may be extended, due to the failure to obtain regulatory approvals for reasons that
are attributable specifically to GWI), the Exiting Member will be free, at any time within
*** after the ROFR Termination Date or the expiration of the time in which the
Election Notice shall be required to be delivered without delivery thereof, as applicable,
to consummate a sale of the Transferred Securities to the proposed purchaser identified in
the Transfer Notice on terms not less favorable to the Exiting Member than those set forth
therein and at the same price; provided, that the closing of the transaction
contemplated by such Election Notice may be extended by the Exiting
Member for ***
 in the event that any required approval or consent from any Governmental Entity
shall not have been obtained at such time; provided, further, that such Exiting
Member shall not permit the purchaser to Transfer its right to purchase the Transferred
Securities to a third party. In the event that no Transfer of such Transferred Securities
occurs within the *** deadline (or within the *** deadline if the
*** extension is exercised), then the terms and conditions of this Section 5.2
shall be reinstated and GWI may exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 5.2 as if it
is the first instance of such exercise.

-25-

 

          (f) The rights and obligations of this Section 5.2 shall apply to any and all
Transfers by an Exiting Member or a subsequent purchaser of Transferred Securities.

     5.3. Right of First Refusal in Event of Disposition of Royal Street
Assets.

          
(a) Until such ***, Royal Street shall not have the right to cause any direct
or indirect sale, Transfer or other disposition of any beneficial or economic interest in
any Royal Street Assets, except in the ordinary course of the operation of the Royal
Street Systems (a “Disposition”).

          (b) After
***, if Royal Street receives a Bona Fide Offer to effect a
Disposition of any Royal Street Assets, and the Management Committee votes to accept the
offer, then, prior to the Disposition of such Royal Street Assets (the “Disposition
Assets”), Royal Street shall promptly deliver a written notice (the “Disposition Notice”)
to GWI stating that Royal Street proposes to effect a Disposition of the Disposition
Assets. The Disposition Notice shall (i) specify the proposed purchase price for, and all
other material terms with respect to the sale of the Disposition Assets, (ii) identify the
proposed purchaser, (iii) specify the date scheduled for the transfer of the Disposition
Assets (which date shall not be less than sixty (60) days after the date the Disposition
Notice is delivered) and (iv) have attached thereto a copy of such Bona Fide Offer, which
shall contain all of the material terms and conditions on which the Disposition Assets are
to be sold.

          (c) By written notice (a “Disposition Election Notice”) delivered to Royal Street,
GWI shall have the right to purchase all or a portion of the Disposition Assets on terms
and conditions no less favorable to Royal Street than, and at a price equal to, the
proposed purchase price of such Disposition Assets; provided, that if Royal Street
proposes to transfer the Disposition Assets in a transaction that would qualify in whole
or in part as a tax-free exchange, then Royal Street and GWI shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to structure the acquisition by GWI of the Disposition Assets to
receive similar tax-free treatment; provided, further, that the inability of Royal
Street and GWI to so structure the acquisition by GWI of the Disposition Assets shall not
relieve Royal Street from its obligation to transfer the Disposition Assets to GWI, and
GWI shall have no obligation to pay any resulting Tax; provided, finally, that if
the Disposition of the Disposition Assets to the proposed purchaser would trigger an
Unjust Enrichment Payment that would not otherwise be triggered if GWI or its designee
were the purchaser, then the purchase price shall be reduced by the amount of the Unjust
Enrichment Payment. Royal Street shall be prohibited from delivering a new Disposition
Notice relating to the sale of the Disposition Assets to the purchaser proposed in its
initial Disposition Notice, or any Affiliate of such proposed purchaser until after the
sixty (60) day period following GWI’s receipt of the initial Disposition Notice in the
event that GWI does not elect to purchase the Disposition Assets, or until after the
Disposition ROFR Termination Date, as it may be extended in accordance with this Section
5.3(d), in the event that GWI does elect to purchase the Disposition Assets.

          (d) If GWI shall have elected to purchase the Disposition Assets in accordance with
Section 5.3, Royal Street and GWI shall use reasonable efforts, including reasonable
efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals, to consummate the closing of the purchase

-26-

 

of the Disposition Assets as soon as practicable and in any event within
sixty (60) days after the date of the Disposition Election Notice in the event that no
regulatory approval is required, and within *** after the date of the
Disposition Election Notice in the event that any regulatory approval is required. In
the event that any regulatory approval is required, an application for such
regulatory approval shall be filed no later than sixty (60) days following the date
of the Disposition Election Notice and the closing of the purchase of the Disposition
Assets shall occur no later than ten (10) days following receipt of all required
regulatory approvals by Final Order, and the “Disposition ROFR Termination Date”
shall be either (i) the 10th day following receipt of all required
regulatory approvals by Final Order or (ii) the date on which any required regulatory
approval is denied by Final Order, whichever occurs first. In the event that the
Parties have complied with this Section 5.3(d) but any required regulatory approvals
are not obtained within such *** period, the Disposition ROFR Termination
Date may be extended by either Royal Street or GWI until such approvals are received
or denied by a Final Order, but in no event for a period of more than an additional
***. Any such closing shall be subject to the condition precedent that
any required consent or approval from any Governmental Entity shall have been
obtained.

          (e) In the event that GWI does not elect to purchase the Disposition Assets, GWI
may designate another Person to purchase the Disposition Assets, and Royal Street
shall, subject to the receipt of any required approval from a Governmental Entity,
sell the Disposition Assets to such designated purchaser, provided, that such
designated purchaser shall comply with the terms and conditions set forth in this
Section 5.3 that would otherwise have applied to GWI.

          (f) In the event that GWI does not elect to purchase the Disposition Assets
itself or designate another Person to purchase the Disposition Assets pursuant to
Section 5.3(e) (or fails to consummate such purchase prior to the Disposition ROFR
Termination Date, as it may be extended, due to the failure to obtain regulatory
approvals for reasons that are attributable specifically to GWI), then Royal Street
will be free, at any time within *** after the Disposition ROFR
Termination Date or the expiration of the time a Disposition Election Notice shall be
required to be delivered without delivery thereof, as applicable, to consummate a
sale of the Disposition Assets to the proposed purchaser identified in the
Disposition Notice on terms not less favorable to Royal Street than those set forth
therein and at the same price; provided, that the closing of the transaction
contemplated by such Disposition Notice may be extended by Royal Street for *** in the event that any required approval or consent from any Governmental
Entity shall not have been obtained at such time; provided, further, that
Royal Street shall not permit the purchaser to Transfer its right to purchase the
Disposition Assets to a third party. In the event that no Transfer of such
Disposition Assets occurs within the *** deadline (or within the
*** deadline if the *** extension is exercised), then the terms and
conditions of this Section 5.3 shall be reinstated and GWI may exercise its rights
pursuant to this Section 5.3 as if it is the first instance of such exercise.

Section 5.4, C9 Wireless shall have the following rights and options:

               (i) to sell to GWI, and upon the exercise of such right and option GWI shall
purchase from C9 Wireless, all of C9 Wireless’ LLC Interest (the “Royal Street Put”); and

               (ii) to cause Royal Street to sell to GWI, and upon the exercise of such right
and option GWI shall purchase from Royal Street, all of Royal Street’s membership interest
in a Holding Subsidiary (the “Holding Subsidiary Put”) (the Royal Street Put and the
Holding Subsidiary Put, collectively referred to as the “Put”).

          (b) Period for Exercise.

            
   (i) C9 Wireless may exercise the Royal Street Put by delivery of an Exercise
Notice during any of the following periods: (A) during the period beginning on the earlier
of (I)***, subject to
applicable notice provisions, or (II) the date that is *** prior
to the ***
, and ending on the date that is *** prior to the ***
(“First Put Exercise Period”); (B) during the sixty-day period ending on the date that is
*** prior to the *** (“Second Put Exercise Period”); or (C)
during the sixty-day period ending on the date that is *** prior to the ***. (“Third Put Exercise Period”); and

               (ii) C9 Wireless may exercise the Holding Subsidiary Put by delivery of an
Exercise Notice during any of the periods described in Section 5.4(b)(i) above, provided
that such exercise periods shall be determined solely with respect to the Licenses held by
such Holding Subsidiary.

          (c) Exercise of Put. C9 Wireless shall exercise the Put by delivering to GWI
and Royal Street written notice (“Exercise Notice”) of its exercise of the Put. Any such
written notice shall be irrevocable, except as contemplated by Section 5.4(f). In the
event that (i) C9 Wireless intends to exercise the Put but is prevented under Applicable
Law from delivering the Exercise Notice to GWI for more than sixty (60) days, and (ii) C9
Wireless draws upon the letters of credit described in Section 5.4(h), then C9 Wireless
shall be obligated to exercise the Put and deliver the Exercise Notice as soon as
practicable under Applicable Law.

          (d) Purchase and Sale of Put Interest:

               (i) Following the exercise of the Put, C9 Wireless or Royal Street shall
transfer to GWI its entire LLC Interest or the membership interest in the Holding
Subsidiary, as the case may be (the “Put Interest”), and GWI shall purchase the Put
Interest for the applicable purchase price determined in accordance with this Section 5.4.
The closing of the purchase and sale of the Put Interest shall take place on the later of
the date that is (x) ten (10) days after a Final Order approving the transfer of the Put
Interest from C9 Wireless or Royal Street to GWI, (y) unless the Parties shall have
otherwise expressly elected to permit an earlier closing date, or (z) solely in the event
that such closing otherwise would occur prior to the ***

-28-

 

*** and would result in Royal Street being required to make an Unjust Enrichment
Payment, the earliest date on which Royal Street would not be required to make any Unjust
Enrichment Payment as a result of the transfer of the Put Interest from C9 Wireless or
Royal Street, as the case may be, to GWI; provided that if the date described in
clause (x) occurs prior to the date described in clause (z), GWI may, at its sole option,
elect to close on the later of the date described in clause (x) or the date described in
clause (z) (unless the Parties shall have expressly elected to permit the closing to occur
prior to the ***, in which event GWI may elect to close on the date
described in clause (x)). The date of the closing of the purchase and sale of the Put
Interest shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Put Closing Date.” At the Put Closing
Date, C9 Wireless or Royal Street, as the case may be, shall deliver to GWI customary
written instruments of transfer and assignment of the Put Interest being sold in form
reasonably satisfactory to GWI. Any Put Interest so transferred and assigned to GWI shall
be transferred and assigned free and clear of all Liens, other than those created
hereunder or by GWI, and with customary terms, conditions, representations and warranties
pertaining to the Licenses and title to the Licenses. Upon the delivery of such
instruments of transfer and assignment, GWI shall pay on the Put Closing Date the
applicable purchase price to C9 Wireless or Royal Street, as the case may be, in
immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, including
without limitation any provision dealing with distributions set forth in Article 10 or
Article 13, in the event such funds are paid to Royal Street as a result of the exercise
of the Holding Subsidiary Put, Royal Street shall promptly distribute such amounts to C9
Wireless. Upon the closing of any such transfer and assignment, the respective LLC
Interests of C9 Wireless and GWI shall be revised, if necessary, to reflect such transfer
and assignment to GWI.

               (ii) C9 Wireless and GWI shall use reasonable efforts, including
reasonable efforts to obtain all required regulatory approvals, to consummate the closing
of the purchase of the Put Interest as soon as practicable and in any event within
thirty (30) days after the date of the Exercise Notice in the event that no regulatory approval
is required, and within *** after the date of the Exercise Notice in the event
that any regulatory approval is required, in each case subject to the timing limitations
of Section 5.4(d)(i) above and to avoid taking actions, or failing to take actions that
would materially adversely affect the value of the Licenses. In the event that any
regulatory approval is required, an application for such regulatory approval shall be
filed as soon as practicable, and in any event no later than sixty (60) days following the
date of the Exercise Notice and the closing of the purchase of the Put Interest shall
occur no later than ten (10) days following receipt of all required regulatory approvals,
in each case subject to the timing limitations of Section 5.4(d)(i) above. In the event
that any required regulatory approval is not obtained within such *** period,
the closing date may be extended by either C9 Wireless or GWI until such approvals are
received or denied by a Final Order, subject to Section 5.4(f). Any such closing shall be
subject to the condition precedent that any required consent or approval from any
Governmental Entity shall have been obtained.

          (e) Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Put Interest shall be
calculated as follows:

               (i) If the date of the Exercise Notice is a date falling in the First Put
Exercise Period and the Put Closing Date occurs on or after the ***, the

-29-

 

purchase
price for the Put Interest shall be ***. If the date of the Exercise Notice is a
date falling in the Second Put Exercise Period, the purchase price for the Put Interest
shall be ***. If the date of the Exercise Notice is a date falling in the Third Put Exercise
Period, the purchase price for the Put Interest shall be ***. In each case, the purchase price shall be
***.

               (ii) If the date of the Exercise Notice is a date falling
in the
First Put Exercise Period and the Put Closing Date occurs prior to
the ***,
the purchase price for the Put Interest shall be the amount of ***; provided, that if the Put Closing Date is a date falling on or
before the date that is *** after the Effective Date, the purchase price
for the Put Interest shall be calculated ***, and, provided further, that if the transaction arising out of the
exercise of the Put gives rise to an obligation to make an Unjust Enrichment Payment to
the FCC pursuant to Section 1.2111, of the FCC Rules (or any similar rule) then the
purchase price for the Put Interest shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Unjust
Enrichment Payment.

               (iii) For purposes of subsections (i) and (ii) above, if
the Put
Interest is a membership interest in a Holding Subsidiary, the Purchase Price shall be
calculated by taking into account only that portion of C9 Wireless’ Capital Contribution
to Royal Street that is properly allocated to such Holding Subsidiary based on the value
of such Holding Subsidiary in proportion to the aggregate value of all the Holding
Subsidiaries.

             
  (iv) At GWI’s sole option, if the common stock of

*** is publicly traded on either the NASDAQ National Market System or the New
York Stock Exchange on the Put Closing Date, GWI may pay all or a portion of the purchase
price for the Put Interest in common stock of *** that is freely
transferable under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws. For
purposes of determining the number of shares of common stock required to be delivered on
the Put Closing Date, the value of each share of common stock to be delivered shall be the
lesser of (A)***

-30-

 

***; provided,
however, that GWI may not pay any portion of the purchase
price with ***
 common stock to the extent that the common stock to be delivered exceeds 2%
of the total *** common stock held by non-affiliates that is freely
transferable under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws as of the
Put Closing Date.

          (f) If any of the events described in Sections 13.2(a)(i), 13.2(a)(ii), 13.2(a)(iii)
or 13.2(a)(iv) occur, or if any of the events described in Section 12.3(b) occur, then the
provisions (including any pricing provisions) of the relevant subsections of Section 12.3,
and not the provisions of Section 5.4, shall apply to any subsequent purchase by GWI of C9
Wireless’ LLC Interest.

          (g) With respect to the exercise of the Put Interest, the parties shall use their
best efforts to structure the purchase and sale of the Put Interest so as to minimize the
taxes to be paid by C9 Wireless or Royal Street, as the case may be.

          (h)
 Letter of Credit Agreement. *** to secure GWI’s obligation to purchase the Put Interest upon C9 Wireless’
exercise of the Put, GWI hereby agrees to execute a Letter of Credit Agreement in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, pursuant to which a MetroPCS
Party shall be required to provide certain letters of credit. C9 Wireless shall provide
five (5) days prior written notice to GWI of its intent, if any, to draw on any such
letters of credit. ***

     5.5. [Intentionally deleted].

     5.6. Allocation Between Transferor and Transferee. If a Transfer of an
interest in Royal Street occurs during any Fiscal Year, Profits, Losses, each item thereof
and all other items attributable to such interest for such Fiscal Year shall be divided
and allocated between the transferor and the transferee by taking into account their
varying interests during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using any
conventions permitted by law and selected by the Management Committee.

Management of Royal Street

     6.1. Management of Royal Street.

          (a) It is the intention of the Parties for this Agreement to accord C9 Wireless
control of Royal Street as provided in Sections 1.2110 and 24.720 of the FCC Rules. If any
provision of this Agreement is deemed by the FCC to be inconsistent with this intention,
the Parties shall cooperate in good faith in all reasonable respects to reform this
Agreement in a manner that is consistent with the Parties’ intention (provided that
nothing contained in this paragraph shall require any Party to agree to the amendment,
modification or waiver of any other article of this Agreement or of any of the provisions
of the Ancillary Agreements or any other

-31-

 

agreement entered into by any of the Parties in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby, or shall require any Party to agree to any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement other than
with respect to matters directly relating to the governance of Royal Street as
currently contemplated by this Agreement).

          (b) The Members hereby establish a Management Committee (the
“Management Committee”) to be composed of such number of individuals as the
Members shall from time to time agree. The Management Committee shall consist
initially of five (5) individuals (each a “Manager”), who shall be designated
as provided in Sections 6.1(c) and 6.1(d). The Members, in such capacity, shall
have no part in the management of Royal Street notwithstanding the last
sentence of Section 18-402 of the Act, and shall have no authority or right to
act on behalf of or bind Royal Street in connection with any matter, except as
expressly set forth in the Act, unless duly authorized by the Management
Committee pursuant to this Agreement and to the extent permitted by FCC Rules.
The Management Committee shall elect from among its members, a Chairman of the
Management Committee (the “Chairman”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
officer, director, general partner or employee of any of the MetroPCS Parties
shall be appointed as a C9 Wireless Manager (as defined in Section 6.1(c)
below).

          (c) Initially, C9 Wireless shall appoint three (3) individuals to serve as
Managers (the “C9 Wireless Managers”) and GWI shall appoint two (2) individuals
to serve as Managers (the “GWI Managers”); provided, however, that no
Member shall appoint any individual that would result in Royal Street not
qualifying as an Entrepreneur or Very Small Business. C9 Wireless also shall
appoint the Chairman of the Management Committee from among the C9 Wireless
Managers. The parties acknowledge and agree that C9 Wireless initially appoints
Robert Gerard as one of the C9 Wireless Managers and designates Mr. Gerard as
the initial Chairman. Pending the appointment by C9 Wireless of the two (2)
remaining C9 Wireless Managers, or in the event of a future vacancy with
respect to a C9 Wireless Manager position, the Chairman shall be entitled to
vote on behalf of such vacant C9 Wireless Manager or Managers so that the C9
Wireless Manager or Managers shall at all times maintain majority voting rights
of the Management Committee, with the further understanding that C9 Wireless
shall use its best efforts to fill any such vacancy within ninety (90) days. If
the authorized number of Managers on the Management Committee is changed for
any reason, C9 Wireless shall be entitled to appoint, at a minimum, a majority
of the Managers regardless of the number of Managers comprising the Management
Committee at any given tune and GWI shall be entitled to appoint the remainder
of such Managers.

          (d) Subject to Section 6.1 (b), each of C9 Wireless and GWI
shall have complete discretion with respect to the designation and replacement
of its representatives to the Management Committee, including with respect to
the filling of any vacancies. If any Member decides to change any of its
representatives, such Member shall provide written notice of such change to
Royal Street and the other Members.

          (e) The Management Committee and its designees shall have the power on
behalf and in the name of Royal Street to carry out any and all of the objects
and purposes of Royal Street contemplated by Section 2.5 and to perform or
authorize all acts which they may deem necessary or advisable in connection
therewith. Subject to Section 6.1(g), all

-32-

 

determinations, decisions and actions made or taken by the Management Committee in
accordance with this Agreement shall be passed by a simple majority vote of the Management
Committee.

          (f) Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1, the
Management Committee and its designees shall have the following powers:

               (i) to execute and deliver or to authorize the execution and delivery of real
and personal property (whether leased or owned), Contracts, deeds, licenses, instruments
of transfer and other documents in the ordinary course of business on behalf of Royal
Street;

               (ii) to employ, retain, consult with and dismiss such personnel as may be

               (iii) to establish and enforce limits of authority and internal controls with
respect to all personnel and functions;

               (vi) to make all Tax elections (except elections under Code Sections 704(c) and

               (vii) to make the selection of the type of technology used in the Business or
changes to such technology;

               (viii) to make pricing decisions with respect to products and services offered
pursuant to the Business;

               (ix) to change the Fiscal Year of Royal Street;

               (x) to employ, discharge or replace any manager for any or all of the Royal
Street Systems;

               (xi) to determine the trademarks under which Royal Street will market its
services; and

               (xii) to do all such other acts as shall be specifically authorized in this
Agreement or by the Initial Members unanimously in writing from time to time.

          (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the other express provisions of
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including those provisions
relating to the transfer of LLC Interests and assets of Royal Street in Sections 5.2, 5.3,

Allocations and Distributions

     10.1. Allocation Rules.

          (a) Profits. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in
Section 10.1(c), Profits for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated in the following order of
priority:

               (i) First, to the Members, in proportion to and to the extent of the excess, if
any, of (A) the cumulative Losses allocated to each Member pursuant to Section
10.1(b)(i)(B) for the current Fiscal Year and all prior Fiscal Years, over (B) the
cumulative Profits allocated to such Member pursuant to this Section 10.1(a)(i) for all
prior Fiscal Years;

               (ii) Second, to the Members in proportion to and to the extent of the excess, if
any, of (A) the aggregate distributions made to such Member pursuant to Section
10.2(a)(ii) hereof for the current Fiscal Year and all prior Fiscal Years, over
(B) the cumulative Profits allocated to such Member pursuant to this Section 10.1(a)(ii)
for all prior Fiscal Years; and

               (iii) The balance, if any, to the Members in accordance with their
Percentage Interests.

               (b) Losses. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in
Section 10.1(c), Losses for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated as set forth in Section
10.1(b)(i), subject to the limitation in Section 10.1(b)(ii).

               (i) Losses for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated in the following order of
priority:

                    (A) First, to the Members in proportion to and to the extent
of
the excess, if any, of (1) the cumulative Profits allocated to each Member pursuant to
Section 10.1(a)(iii) for the current Fiscal Year and all prior Fiscal Years, over
(2) the cumulative Losses allocated to such Member pursuant to this Section 10.1 (b)(i)(A)
for all prior Fiscal Years;

                    (B) Second, to the Members in proportion to and to the extent

                    of the excess, if any, of (1) the cumulative Profits allocated to each Member pursuant to
Section 10.1(a)(ii) for the current Fiscal Year and all prior Fiscal Years, over
(2) the cumulative Losses allocated to such Member pursuant to this Section 10.1(b)(i)(B)
for all prior Fiscal Years; and

-43-

 

                    (C) The balance, if any, to the Members in accordance with their Percentage
Interests.

               (ii) The Losses allocated pursuant to Section 10.1(b)(i) shall
not
exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be so allocated without causing any Member to
have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year. In the event some,
but not all, of the Members would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as a consequence
of an allocation of Losses pursuant to Section 10.1(b)(i) but for this Section
10.1(b)(ii), the limitation set forth in this Section 10.1(b)(ii) shall be applied on a
Member by Member basis so as to allocate the maximum permissible Losses to each Member
under Regulation Section 1 .704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

          (c) Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be
made in the following order:

               (i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Section 10.1(c), if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year,
then, to the extent required by Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), each Member shall be
specially allocated items of Royal Street income and gain for such year (and, if
necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease
in Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). The
items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1 .704-2(j). This Section 10.1(c)(i) is intended to comply with the
minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith.

               (ii) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Section 10.1(c) except Section 10.1(c)(i), if there is a net decrease in Member
Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, then, to
the extent required by Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), each Member who has a share of
the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in
accordance with Regulations Section 1 .704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of
Royal Street income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an
amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain
attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations
Section 1.704-2(i)(4). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance
with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j). This Section 10.1(c)(ii) is
intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

               (iii) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly
receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Royal Street income and gain (consisting of a
pro rata portion of each item of Royal Street income, including gross income, and gain for
such year) shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient
to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to
this Section 10.1(c)(iii) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would
have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after

-44-

 

all other allocations provided for in this Section 10.1(c) have been tentatively made as
if this Section 10.1(c)(iii) were not in this Agreement.

               (iv) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a deficit
Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year that is in excess of the sum of (i) the
amount such Member is obligated to restore, and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to
be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections
1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Member shall be specially allocated items of Royal
Street income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Royal Street
income, including gross income, and gain for such year) in the amount of such excess as
quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 10.1(c)(iv)
shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital
Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Section
10.1(c) have been tentatively made as if Section 10.1(c)(iii) and this Section 10.1(c)(iv)
were not in this Agreement.

               (v) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year
or other period shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their Percentage
Interests.

               (vi) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member
Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Member
who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which
such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section
1 .704-2(i)(1).

               (vii) Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted
tax basis of any Royal Street Asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required,
pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in
determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall
be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss
(if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially
allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital
Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Regulations Section.

               (viii) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in the preceding
subsections to this Section 10.1(c) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply
with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the
maximum extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other
Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Royal Street income,
gain, loss and deduction pursuant to this Section 10.1(c)(viii). Therefore,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 10 (other than the Regulatory
Allocations), the Management Committee shall make such offsetting special allocations in
whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are
made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the maximum extent possible, equal to
the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were
not part of the Agreement and all Royal Street items to be reflected in the Members’
Capital Accounts were allocated pursuant to Sections 10.1 (a) and

-45-

 

10.1 (b) without having given effect to such Regulatory Allocations. In exercising its
discretion under this Section 10.1(c)(viii), the Management Committee shall take into
account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 10.1(c)(i) and 10.1(c)(ii) that,
although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made
under Sections 10.1(c)(v) and 10.1(c)(vi).

          (d) Other Allocation Rules.

               (i) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other items
allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and any such other items shall be determined on a
daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the Management Committee using any
permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

               (ii) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Royal Street
income, gain, loss, deduction and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall
be divided among the Members in the same proportions as they share Profits and Losses, as
the case may be, for the year.

               (iii) The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations
made by this Section 10.1 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section
10.1 in reporting their shares of Royal Street income and loss for income tax purposes.

               (iv) Solely for purposes of determining a Member’s proportionate share of the
“excess nonrecourse liabilities” of Royal Street within the meaning of Regulations
Section 1 .752-3(a)(3), the Members’ interests in Royal Street profits shall be their
Percentage Interests.

          (e) Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c)

               (i) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder,
income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital
of Royal Street, solely for tax purposes, shall be allocated among the Members so as to
take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to Royal Street
for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance
with clause (a) of the definition thereof).

               (ii) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Royal Street
Asset is adjusted pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent
allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take
account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax
purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the
Regulations thereunder.

               (iii) All Section 704(c) allocations made by Royal Street pursuant to this
Section 10.1(e) shall be made by using any generally acceptable method under the
Regulations that the Tax Matters Partner elects, in its sole discretion. Allocations
pursuant to this Section 10.1(e) are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes
and shall not affect, or

-46-

 

in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of
Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

     10.2. Distributions. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 9.7 and 13.4,
distributions to the Members shall be governed by the following provisions:

          (a) Royal Street may, but is not obligated to, make distributions from time to time, as
determined by the Management Committee in its sole discretion, to the Members in accordance with
their respective Percentage Interests.

          (b) Notwithstanding Section 10.2(a) above, within thirty (30) days after the end of each
calendar year in which Royal Street has Profits for United States federal income tax purposes,
Royal Street shall make a distribution to each Member sufficient to provide such Member with an
amount equal to the estimated amount of all annual federal, state, local or foreign income tax
payments that such Member would be required to make with respect to such calendar year attributable
to such Profits, which estimate shall be made by the Management Committee or a Person designated by
the Management Committee based on information supplied by each such Member as to the maximum tax
rates applicable in the jurisdictions in which such Member is so taxable; provided, that
the total amount of such distributions shall not exceed the amount of Excess Cash then held by
Royal Street. In the case of any Member that is a pass- through entity for federal income tax
purposes, the calculations provided for in the preceding sentence shall be based on the tax rates
of the ultimate party or parties that are taxable on Profits allocated to such Member. Any
distributions under this Section 10.2(b) shall be treated as an advance against distributions to be
made under Section 10.2(a) in accordance with the nature of the event that gave rise to the Profits
for which the distribution is being made under this Section 10.2(b). As used herein, “Excess Cash”
means all cash and cash equivalents held by Royal Street at the time of determination in excess of
such amount that the Management Committee believes is appropriate for Royal Street to retain to
satisfy short-term liabilities of Royal Street and provide a reasonable reserve for Royal Street’s
then current and future operating expenses.

     10.3. Distribution upon Dissolution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained above, in the event of dissolution of the Company pursuant to Article 13 hereof, all
distributions shall be made pursuant to Article 13 hereof.

     10.4. Limitations on Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, Royal Street shall not make a
distribution to any Member on account of
its interest in Royal Street if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Act or other
Applicable Law.

Very Small Business (to the extent not already known to the other Initial Member).

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

               (i) In the event that Royal Street does not qualify as an Entrepreneur or Very Small

LLC Units to GWI or a third-party designated by GWI for a purchase
price equal to ***. The exercise by GWI of the election to

to, and GWI shall purchase, all of C9 Wireless’ LLC Units for a purchase price equal to ***; provided however, that if the purchase of C9 Wireless’ LLC

Enrichment Payment to the FCC pursuant to Section 1.2111 of the FCC Rules (or any similar
rule) then the purchase price for such LLC Units shall be reduced by an amount equal to
the Unjust Enrichment Payment.

               (iii) In the event that the Services Agreement is terminated in its entirety as

          (a) The Parties hereto waive as against each other any claims to consequential,
special, exemplary or punitive damages except to the extent consequential, special,

circumstances in which such indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder. In
no event shall any party’s indemnification obligations under
this Agreement exceed ***.

-51-

 

          (b) In calculating any Damages to be paid under Sections 12.1 or 12.2, there shall be
deducted (i) any insurance recovery in respect thereof (retroactively, if necessary), and
(ii) the amount of any tax benefit to the indemnified party with respect to such Damages
(after giving effect to the tax effect of receipt of the indemnification payments).

          (c) No indemnified party shall have any right to make any indemnification claim under
Sections 12.1 or 12.2 to the extent that payment of any Damages with respect to such claim
has been made to such Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 6.14.

     12.5. Indemnification Procedure. Where one Party has indemnified the other
against any claim or legal action pursuant to Section 6.14,12.1 or 12.2, indemnification
shall be conditioned on compliance with the procedure outlined below:

          (a) Provided that prompt notice is given of a claim or suit for which indemnification
might be claimed, except to the extent that the failure to provide such notice does not
actually and materially prejudice the interests of the party to whom such notice is to be
provided, the indemnifying party promptly will defend, contest, or otherwise protect
against any such claim or suit at its own cost and expense. Such notice shall describe the
claim or suit in reasonable detail and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary)
of the loss that has been or may be suffered by the indemnified party.

          (b) The indemnified party may, but will not be obligated to, participate at its own
expense in a defense thereof by counsel of its own choosing, but the indemnifying party
shall be entitled to control the defense unless the indemnified party has relieved the
indemnifying party from liability with respect to the particular matter, provided that the
indemnifying party may only settle or compromise the matter subject to indemnification
without the consent of the indemnified party if such settlement includes a complete
release of all indemnified parties as to the matters in dispute and provided further that
the indemnified party will not unreasonably withhold consent to any settlement or
compromise that requires its consent.

          (c) In the event the indemnifying party fails to timely defend, contest, or otherwise
protect against any such claim or suit, the indemnified party may, but will not be
obligated to, defend, contest, or otherwise protect against the same, and may make any
compromise or settlement thereof and recover the entire costs thereof from the
indemnifying party, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and all amounts
paid as a result of such claim or suit or the compromise or settlement thereof;
provided, however, that if the indemnifying party undertakes the defense of such
matter, the indemnified party shall not be entitled to recover from the indemnifying party
for its costs incurred in the defense thereof other than the reasonable costs of
investigation undertaken by the indemnified party and reasonable costs of providing
assistance.

          (d) The indemnified party shall cooperate and provide such assistance as the
indemnifying party may reasonably request in connection with the defense of the matter
subject to indemnification and in connection with recovering from any third parties
amounts that the indemnifying party may pay or be required to pay by way of
indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party shall take commercially reasonable steps
to protect its position with respect to

-52-

 

any matter that may be the subject of indemnification hereunder in the same manner as it
would any similar matter where no indemnification is available.

     12.6. Mitigation of Damages. An indemnified party under Section 6.14,12.1 or
12.2 shall, to the extent practicable and reasonably within its control and at the
expense of the indemnifying party, make commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any
damages of which it has adequate notice, provided that the indemnified party shall not be
obligated to act in contravention of Applicable Law or in contravention of reasonable and
customary practices of a prudent person in similar circumstances. The indemnifying party
under Section 6.14, 12.1 or 12.2 shall have the right, but not the obligation, and shall
be afforded the opportunity by the indemnified party to the extent reasonably possible,
to make commercially reasonable efforts to minimize damages before such damages actually
are incurred by the indemnified party.

Information, together with all copies made hereof, except to the extent necessary to
enforce any rights hereunder or as may be necessary in connection with a regulatory
proceeding, or to the extent that the receiving Party retains a license to use such
Proprietary Information. Upon request, the receiving Party will send the other Party a
destruction certificate.

     15.7. Irreparable Injury by Disclosure to Third Parties. Specifically, but

performance. Personnel of one Party or its Affiliates present at the premises of one of
the other Parties or its Affiliates will refrain from obtaining access to information that
is proprietary to the customers of such other Party or its Affiliates. Such personnel will

     16.5. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable
and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (i) a
suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted here fore in order to carry out, so far
as may be valid and enforceable without prejudicing or adversely affecting the economic or
similar interests of the Parties under this Agreement, the intent and purpose of such
invalid or unenforceable provision and (ii) the remainder of this Agreement and the
application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by
such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect
the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other
jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person
or any circumstance, is found by the FCC to violate applicable FCC Rules, the Parties shall
negotiate in good faith to agree on a suitable and equitable amendment to such provision,
provided that any such amendment shall not prejudice or adversely affect the economic or
similar rights of the Parties under this Agreement.

to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns
and shall not be assignable except to the extent expressly permitted hereby. No Transfer or
acquisition of any LLC Units in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be
effective to pass any title to,or create any interest in favor of, any Person, and any such
purported Transfer or acquisition shall be void, but the Member attempting to effect such
Transfer or acquisition shall be deemed to have committed a material breach hereof.

     16.8. Entire Agreement; Amendment: Waiver. This Agreement and all other
written agreements between the Parties and between GWI and Royal Street dated as of the

affected or to be affected thereby; provided, that the consent or approval of any
departing Member shall not be required to execute any amendment, supplement or modification
of this Agreement unless the departing Member is materially and adversely affected thereby.
No waiver of any provisions hereof by any Party shall be deemed a waiver of any other
provisions hereof by any such Party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver
of any provision hereof by such Party.

at any time, and from time to time execute and deliver such additional instruments and
other documents and shall at any time, and from time to time take such further actions as

and delivery of documents) as may reasonably be requested by any other Party for the
implementation or continuing performance of this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly set

act or refrain from acting.

ARTICLE 17

Dispute Resolution

     17.1. Informal Discussions. Subject to FCC Rules, the Members hereto agree to
settle any dispute, controversy or difference which may arise between or among them in
connection with this Agreement or any Schedule or Exhibit attached hereto (except as
otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any such Schedule or Exhibit) by good
faith discussions between or among representatives (“Representatives”) designated by the
Members to the dispute (the “Disputing Members”). During the course of the discussions
between or among the Representatives, the Disputing Members will comply with all reasonable
requests for access to relevant information.

     17.2. Arbitration.

          (a) In
the event that such dispute, controversy or difference is not resolved within
thirty (30) days after the commencement of discussion between or
among the Representatives
or the conclusion in good faith of the Representatives that amicable
resolution of the
dispute, controversy or difference does not appear likely, whichever is earlier, then
the dispute, controversy or difference shall be finally settled by arbitration in
accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

          (b) The
arbitration shall be held in Wilmington, Delaware or such other location as
the Disputing Members shall mutually agree. The arbitration shall be
heard by a panel of
three arbitrators, each of whom shall be experienced in the resolution of
disputes, controversies and differences relating to telecommunications services. If there
are two Disputing Members, one such arbitrator shall be selected by one Disputing Member,
one such arbitrator shall be selected by the other Disputing Member and the third
arbitrator shall be selected by the arbitrators selected by the Disputing Members. If there
are more than two Disputing Members, the three arbitrators shall be selected by the
President of the American Arbitration Association.

-63-

 

Resolution of the dispute, controversy or difference shall be determined by a majority vote of
the arbitration panel.

          (c) The
Disputing Members shall bear equally all fees, costs and expenses of the arbitration,
and each Disputing Member shall bear its own legal expenses and costs
of all experts and witnesses
relating thereto; provided, however, that if the claim
of any Disputing Member is upheld by
the arbitration panel in all material respects, then the arbitration
panel may apportion between or
among the Disputing Members as such arbitration panel may deem equitable the costs incurred by the
prevailing Disputing Member.

          (d) Any
award rendered by the arbitration panel shall be final and conclusive upon the
Disputing Members and any judgment thereon maybe enforced in any
court of competent jurisdiction,
unless: (i) the award was procured by corruption, fraud or other
manifest undue means; (ii) the
arbitrators exceeded their powers (it being acknowledged that the arbitrators are entitled to hear
any dispute, controversy or difference relating in any way to this Agreement or any Schedule or
Exhibit attached hereto); or (iii) the arbitrators have been
guilty of misconduct. The Disputing
Member submitting such dispute shall request the American Arbitration Association to: (y) allow for
the Disputing Members to request reasonable discovery pursuant to the rules then in effect under the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days prior to such
arbitration, and (z) require the testimony to be transcribed.

          (e) The
fact that arbitration has commenced in accordance with this Article 17 shall not impair
the ability of any Member to exercise any termination rights in
accordance with Article 13 hereof.

by and between

METROPCS WIRELESS, INC. and ROYAL STREET COMMUNICATIONS, LLC

	 	 	 
	LESSEE:

	 	Royal Street Communications, LLC
	Address:

	 	 7557 Rambler Road
	 

	 	Suite 700
	 

	 	Dallas, TX 75231
	 
	 	 
	LESSOR:

	Address:

	 	 8144 Walnut Hill Lane
	 

	 	Suite 800
	 

	 	Dallas, TX 75231

Lease Number: 0001

     1. AGREEMENT. Lessor agrees to lease to Lessee and Lessee agrees to lease from Lessor the
Equipment and Facilities as more fully described in any schedule (individually a “Schedule” and
collectively the “Schedules”) that is or are incorporated by reference into this Master Equipment
and Facilities Lease Agreement (the “Agreement”). Each Schedule shall be incorporated by reference
into this Agreement by listing the above-referenced Lease Number thereon and shall upon such
incorporation be deemed to become part of a single integrated agreement governed by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, as well as by the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable
Schedule. Each Schedule, when taken with this Agreement and all other Schedules, shall constitute
the entire agreement. All capitalized terms herein which are not defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Services Agreement, dated as of November 24, 2004, between
MetroPCS Wireless, Inc. and Royal Street Communications, LLC (the “Services Agreement”).

     2. APPOINTMENT OF LESSOR AS PURCHASING AGENT. Lessee has delivered to Lessor copies of the
Construction Plan and Technical Services Plan (collectively, the “Plans”) that have been duly
approved by the Management Committee of Royal Street. Together, the Plans specify the Equipment and
Facilities to be utilized in the construction and operation of the Royal Street Systems. Lessee
authorizes Lessor to act as Lessee’s agent to issue a purchase order to any third party for the
Equipment and Facilities (each, a “Seller”) and for necessary related goods and
services in accordance with the Plans. Such purchase order shall be subject to this Section 2
and all references in this Agreement to Purchase Documents shall include such purchase order. By
executing the applicable Schedule, Lessee represents and warrants that Lessee has reviewed,
approved and received a copy of the applicable Purchase Documents.

     3. DELIVERY; ACCEPTANCE. Lessor shall cause the Equipment and Facilities to be delivered, at
Lessee’s expense, to Lessee at the Equipment and Facilities Location (as specified in the
applicable Schedule) and Lessee shall accept the Equipment and Facilities upon the later of (a)

 

			
	***	 	Where this marking appears throughout this Exhibit 10.11,
information has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential
treatment and such information has been filed with the SEC separately.

1

 

the installation of the Equipment and Facilities or (b) the satisfaction of the acceptance
criteria, if any, specified in the applicable Purchase Documents. In any event, Lessee shall
evidence its acceptance of the Equipment and Facilities and commencement of this Agreement with
respect thereto by executing and delivering to Lessor a commencement certificate (the “Commencement
Certificate”) in a form acceptable to Lessor within five (5) business days after delivery. By
executing and delivering a Commencement Certificate to Lessor, Lessee represents and warrants that
it has irrevocably accepted such Equipment and Facilities under this Agreement. Lessee shall
reimburse Lessor for any late payment, interest on late payment or any other similar fee or charge
imposed by Seller as the result of Lessee’s failure to timely furnish its acceptance and all
pertinent lease documentation.

     4. PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES. Provided that no Event of Default (as defined in
Section 18) exists, and no event has occurred and is continuing that with notice or the lapse of
time or both would constitute an Event of Default, Lessor shall be obligated to purchase the
Equipment and Facilities from Seller and to lease the Equipment and Facilities to Lessee if and
only if Lessor receives on or before the Latest Commencement Date (as specified in the applicable
Schedule) the related Commencement Certificate and Schedule executed by Lessee, and such other
documents or assurances as Lessor may reasonably request.

     5. TERM.
 The initial term of each Schedule shall begin on the date specified as the
Commencement Date on the Commencement Certificate with respect to such Schedule and shall, unless
otherwise specified in the Schedule, continue for a period of *** (the “Initial Term”)
with *** renewal terms (each a “Renewal Term”), at Royal Street’s written election,
beginning on the expiration of, as applicable, the Initial Term or any preceding Renewal Term
(collectively, the “Term”). At any time after *** following the Commencement
Date of a Schedule, Lessee may terminate such Schedule prior to the end of its Term upon ninety
(90) days prior written notice to Lessor (“Termination Notice”) provided that no such Termination
Notice shall be effective unless, prior to or on the effective date of such Termination Notice,
Lessee shall have paid Lessor the Lessor’s Return (as hereinafter defined) for the Equipment and
Facilities set forth in such Schedule. Lessee’s failure to pay the Lessor’s Return prior to or on
the effective date of such Termination Notice shall render such Termination Notice ineffective and
Lessee shall continue to make the Rental Payments set forth in such Schedules.

     6. RENT; LATE CHARGES. Lessee shall pay Lessor the first Rental Payment (as specified in the
applicable Schedule) for the Equipment and Facilities on or before the Commencement Date of the
applicable Schedule and shall pay Lessor the remaining periodic Rental Payments on or before the
periodic payment dates specified in the applicable Schedule. If, pursuant to this Agreement or the
applicable Schedule, the Term is extended, Lessee shall also pay all Rental Payments required with
respect thereto. In the case of a breach or an Event of Default on the part of Lessee under this
Agreement or any Schedule, all Rental Payments shall become immediately due and payable by Lessee
without demand or notice, without any court order or other process of law and without liability to
Lessee for any damages occasioned by such action, and all Equipment and Facilities are to be
immediately returned to Lessor’s possession in the same condition provided to the Lessee, less
reasonable wear and tear. Lessor is under no duty to mitigate any damages caused by Lessee’s breach
or Event of Default. All Rental Payments will be sent to Lessor’s above-referenced address, or to
such other address as specified by Lessor in writing.

2

 

Lessee
agrees to pay Lessor interest at the rate of *** per month (or such lesser rate as
is the maximum rate allowable under applicable law) on any Rental Payment (or other amount due
hereunder) that is not paid within ten (10) days of its due date.

     7. INSURANCE. At its own expense, Lessee shall provide and maintain the following
insurance: (a) insurance against the loss or theft of or damage to the Equipment and
Facilities for the greater of the Stipulated Loss Value (computed as described in the applicable
Schedule) or full replacement value thereof, naming Lessor as a loss payee; and (b) public
liability and third-party property damage insurance, naming Lessor as an additional insured. Such
insurance shall be in a form, amount and with companies reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, shall
contain the insurer’s agreement to give Lessor thirty (30) days’ prior written notice before
cancellation or material change thereof, and shall be payable to Lessor regardless of any act,
omission or breach by Lessee. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor the insurance policies or copies
thereof or certificates of such insurance on or before the Commencement Date of the applicable
Schedule, and at such other times as Lessor may reasonably request. If no Event of Default exists,
and no event has occurred and is continuing that with notice or the lapse of time or both would
constitute an Event of Default, the proceeds of any insurance required under clause (a) hereof that
have been paid to Lessor shall be applied against Lessee’s obligations to Lessor under Section 12
hereof.

     8. TAXES. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for (or pay directly, but only if instructed by
Lessor) all taxes, fees, and assessments that may be imposed by any taxing authority on the
Equipment and Facilities, on its purchase, ownership, delivery, possession, operation, rental,
lease, return to Lessor or its purchase by Lessee (collectively,
“Taxes”); provided, however, that Lessee shall not be liable for any such Taxes (whether imposed by the United
States of America or by any other domestic or foreign taxing authority) imposed on or measured by
Lessor’s net income or tax preference items. Lessee’s obligation includes, but is not limited to,
the obligation to pay all license and registration fees and all sales, use, excise, personal
property and other taxes and governmental charges, together with any penalties, fines and interest
thereon, that may be imposed during the Term of the applicable Schedule. Lessee is liable for these
Taxes whether they are imposed upon Lessor, Lessee, the Equipment and Facilities, this Agreement or
the applicable Schedule. If Lessee is required by law or administrative practice to make any report
or return with respect to such Taxes, Lessee shall promptly advise Lessor thereof in writing and
shall cooperate with Lessor to ensure that such reports are properly filed and accurately reflect
Lessor’s interest in the Equipment and Facilities. Lessor has no obligation to contest any such
Taxes; however, Lessee may do so provided that: (a) Lessee does so in its own name and at its own
expense; (b) the contest does not and will not result in any lien attaching to any Equipment and
Facilities or otherwise jeopardize Lessor’s right to any Equipment and Facilities; and (c) Lessee
indemnifies, defends, and holds harmless Lessor for all expenses (including legal fees and costs),
liabilities and losses that Lessor incurs as a result of any such contest.

     9. REPAIRS; USE; LOCATION; LABELS. Lessee shall: (a) at its own expense, keep the Equipment
and Facilities in good repair, condition and working order and maintained in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommended engineering and maintenance standards by personnel certified to work on
such Equipment and Facilities; (b) use the Equipment and Facilities lawfully and exclusively in
connection with its business operations and for the purpose for which the Equipment and Facilities
was designed and intended; and (c) without Lessor’s prior written

3

 

consent, not move the Equipment and Facilities from the Equipment and Facilities Location. If
Lessor supplies Lessee with labels stating that the Equipment and Facilities is owned by Lessor,
Lessee shall affix such labels to the Equipment and Facilities pursuant to Lessor’s instructions.

     10. ACCESS; MAINTENANCE; INSPECTION; ALTERATIONS. Lessee shall have Unfettered Access to the
Equipment and Facilities. At its own expense, Lessee shall: (a) enter into and maintain a
maintenance agreement for the Equipment and Facilities with the manufacturer or other party
certified to maintain such Equipment and Facilities who is acceptable to Lessor; (b) maintain the
Equipment and Facilities in the same condition as when delivered, subject only to ordinary wear and
tear, and in good operating order and appearance; (c) make all alterations or additions to the
Equipment and Facilities that may be required or supplied by the Seller, the manufacturer,
applicable regulatory agencies, or which is otherwise legally necessary; and (d) make no other
alterations or additions to the Equipment and Facilities (except for alterations or additions that
will not impair the value or performance of the Equipment and Facilities and that are readily
removable without damage to the Equipment and Facilities). Any modifications, alterations, repairs,
or additions that Lessee makes to the Equipment and Facilities (except as permitted by Section
10(d) above) shall become Lessor’s property and shall also be deemed to be Equipment and
Facilities. Upon request, Lessor, or any party designated by Lessor, shall have the right to
inspect the Equipment and Facilities and Lessee’s applicable maintenance agreement and records at
any reasonable time.

     11. PERSONAL PROPERTY; LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES; TITLE. The Equipment and Facilities shall at
all times remain personal property, notwithstanding that the Equipment and Facilities, or any part
thereof, may be (or becomes) affixed or attached to real property or any improvements thereon.
Except for the interest of Lessor, Lessee shall keep the Equipment and Facilities free and clear of
all levies, liens and encumbrances of any nature whatsoever. Except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement, the Equipment and Facilities shall at all times remain the property of Lessor and Lessee
shall have no right, title or interest therein.

     12. RISK OF LOSS. As between Lessor and Lessee, Lessee shall bear the entire risk of loss,
theft, destruction or damage to the Equipment and Facilities from any cause whatsoever or
requisition of the Equipment and Facilities by any governmental entity or the taking of title to
the Equipment and Facilities by eminent domain or otherwise (collectively, a “Loss”). Lessee shall
advise Lessor in writing within ten (10) days of any such Loss. Except as provided below, no such
Loss shall relieve Lessee of the obligation to pay Lessor Rental Payments and all other amounts
owed hereunder. In the event of any such Loss, Lessor, at its option, may: (a) if the Loss has not
materially impaired the Equipment and Facilities (in Lessor’s reasonable judgment), require Lessee,
upon Lessor’s demand, to place the Equipment and Facilities in good condition and repair reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor; or (b) if the Loss has materially impaired the Equipment and Facilities (in
Lessor’s reasonable judgment), require Lessee, upon Lessor’s demand, to pay Lessor ***. Upon Lessor’s full receipt of such Lessor’s Return: (y) the applicable

Schedule shall terminate, and except as provided in Section 24, Lessee shall be relieved of all
obligations under the applicable Schedule; and (z) Lessor shall transfer all of its interest in the
Equipment and Facilities to Lessee “AS IS, WHERE IS,” and without any warranty, express or implied
from Lessor, other than the absence of any liens or claims by, through, or under Lessor.
Notwithstanding clause (b) in this Section 12, Lessor may, at its option, elect to have Lessee
continue Rental Payments under the applicable Schedule, without interruption, and replace the
damaged Equipment and Facilities with Equipment and Facilities of identical model, manufacturer and
condition (“Replacement Equipment and Facilities”), in which case Lessee shall cause the
Replacement Equipment and Facilities to be delivered to a location acceptable to Lessor and shall
convey title (lien free) to the Lessor whereupon the Replacement Equipment and Facilities shall be
subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Schedule.

     13. NON-CANCELABLE NET LEASE. Except as provided in Section 5 hereof, all leases hereunder
shall be non-cancelable net leases, and Lessee agrees that it has an unconditional obligation to
pay all rental payments and other amounts when due. Lessee may abate or reduce rental payments or
any other amounts due, or may set off any charges against those amounts, provided, such abatement,
reduction or set off is for obligations between Lessor and Lessee. Lessee is not entitled to
recoupments, cross-claims, counterclaims or any other defenses to any rental payments or other
amounts due hereunder, whether those defenses arise out of claims by Lessee against Lessor, Seller,
this Agreement, any schedule or otherwise. Neither defects in Equipment and Facilities, damage to
it, nor its loss, destruction or late delivery, shall terminate this Agreement or any schedule, or
affect Lessee’s obligations hereunder. Unless Lessee’s obligation to pay rental payments and other
amounts has been terminated pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement, all rental payments
and other amounts shall continue to be due and payable hereunder.

     14. LESSOR DISCLAIMERS; LIMITATION OF REMEDIES. It is specifically understood and agreed that:
(a) Lessor shall not be deemed to have made any representation, warranty or promise made by Seller,
neither Seller nor Lessor shall act as, or be deemed to be, an agent of the other, and Lessor shall
not be bound by, or liable for, any representation or promise made by Seller; (b) Lessor shall not
be liable for any failure of any Equipment and Facilities or any delay in its delivery or
installation; (c) Lessor shall not be liable for any breach of any warranty that Seller may have
made; (d) Lessee has selected all Equipment and Facilities; (e) Lessor is not a manufacturer of any
Equipment and Facilities; and (f) the Equipment and Facilities are provided by Lessor “AS-IS”
without any warranties of any kind from Lessor and Lessor has not made and does not now make any
representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the design, compliance with
specifications, operation, or condition of any Equipment and Facilities (or any part thereof), the
merchantability or fitness of Equipment and Facilities for a particular purpose, or issues
regarding patent infringement, title and the like. It is further agreed that Lessor shall have no
liability to Lessee, Lessee’s customers, or any third parties for any direct, indirect, special,
punitive, treble, or consequential damages arising out of this Agreement or any schedule or
concerning any Equipment and Facilities, or for any damages based on strict or absolute tort
liability; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall deprive Lessee of any
rights it may have against any person other than Lessor. Lessee shall look solely to Seller for any
and all claims and warranties relating to the Equipment and Facilities. Lessor hereby assigns to
Lessee for the term of the applicable schedule the right to enforce, provided no Event of Default
then exists under this Agreement and such enforcement is pursued in Lessee’s name, any
representations, warranties and

5

 

agreements made by Seller pursuant to the purchase documents, and Lessee may retain any recovery
resulting from any such enforcement efforts. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lessee
waives any and all rights and remedies conferred upon a Lessee by Article 2a of the UCC and any
rights now or hereinafter conferred by statute or otherwise that may limit or modify Lessor’s
rights as described in this section or other sections of this Agreement. In the event of any breach
of any warranty or obligation under this Agreement, Lessee’s sole remedy shall be for Lessor to
reperform the obligation hereunder. LESSEE’S SOLE REMEDIES AGAINST LESSOR OR LESSOR’S SUPPLIERS FOR
LOSS OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM, ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH, OR CAUSED BY, EITHER DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, DEFECTIVE ITEMS OF EQUIPMENT OR FACILITIES, OR PARTIAL OR TOTAL FAILURE OF THE
EQUIPMENT OR FACILITIES REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE LESSEE’S RIGHT TO RECEIVE THE
SELLER’S REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT SERVICE DESCRIBED IN ITS LIMITED
WARRANTY. The foregoing shall be
Lessee’s sole and exclusive remedies at law or in equity, except for Lessee’s right to claim
damages for bodily injury to any person caused by the negligence of Lessor. The parties further
agree that the foregoing allocation of risk shall, in the event of Seller’s inability, despite good
faith efforts, to meet its warranty obligations hereunder, remain in effect regardless of whether
the exclusive remedies provided for under this Section 14 then satisfy the essential purposes for
which they were intended, or otherwise provide Lessee with a fair quantum of relief.

     15. LESSEE WARRANTIES. Lessee represents, warrants and covenants to Lessor that: (a)
Lessee is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under applicable law; (b) Lessee
has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement, all Schedules and all other related
instruments or documents hereunder (collectively, the “Fundamental Agreements”); (c) such
Fundamental Agreements are enforceable against Lessee in accordance with their terms and do not
violate or create a default under any instrument or agreement binding on Lessee; (d) there are no
pending or threatened actions or proceedings before any court or administrative agency that would
have a material adverse effect on Lessee or any Fundamental Agreement, unless such actions are
disclosed to Lessor and consented to in writing by Lessor; (e) Lessee shall comply in all material
respects with all Federal, state and municipal laws and regulations the violation of which could
have a material adverse effect upon the Equipment and Facilities or Lessee’s performance of its
obligations under any Fundamental Agreement; (f) Lessee shall obtain all governmental approvals
necessary for it to enter into and perform each Fundamental Agreement; (g) each Fundamental
Agreement shall be effective against all creditors of Lessee under applicable law, including
fraudulent conveyance and bulk transfer laws, and shall raise no presumption of fraud; (h)
financial statements and other related information furnished by Lessee shall be prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall present Lessee’s financial
position as of the dates given on such statements; (i) Lessee shall furnish Lessor with its
certified financial statements, opinions of counsel, resolutions, and such other information and
documents as Lessor may reasonably request; (j) all Equipment and Facilities is leased for business
purposes only, and not for personal, family or household purposes; and (k) all Equipment and
Facilities is tangible personal property and shall not become a fixture or real property under
Lessee’s use thereof. Lessee shall be deemed to have reaffirmed the foregoing warranties each time
it executes any Fundamental Agreement.

6

 

     16. GENERAL INDEMNITY. Lessee shall indemnify, hold harmless, and, if so requested by Lessor,
defend Lessor against all claims (“Claims”) directly or indirectly arising out of or connected with
the Equipment and Facilities or any Fundamental Agreement. Claims refers to all losses,
liabilities, damages, penalties, expenses (including legal fees and costs), claims, actions, and
suits, whether based on a theory of strict liability of Lessor or otherwise, and includes, but is
not limited to, matters regarding: (a) the selection, manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection,
ownership, delivery, lease, possession, maintenance, use, condition, return or operation of the
Equipment and Facilities; (b) any latent defects or other defects in any Equipment and Facilities,
whether or not discoverable by Lessor or by Lessee; (c) any patent, trademark, or copyright
infringement; and (d) the condition of any Equipment and Facilities arising or existing during
Lessee’s use.

     17. SURRENDER; EXTENSION OF TERM. Unless Lessee purchases the Equipment and Facilities or
renews the Term pursuant to the applicable Schedule, or acquires the Equipment and Facilities
pursuant to Section 12 hereof, Lessee shall, at its expense, deinstall, inspect and properly pack
the Equipment and Facilities, and return the Equipment and Facilities at the expiration of the
Term, free of all liens and rights of others, by delivering it on board such common carrier as
Lessor may specify with freight prepaid to any destination within the United States of America
specified by Lessor. The Equipment and Facilities shall be accompanied by an original copy of the
relocation inventory or other applicable form completed by the agent performing the deinstallation.
If Lessor so requests, Lessor and its agents shall have the right to enter upon any premises where
Equipment and Facilities may be located at a reasonable time to perform any of Lessee’s tasks noted
above in this Section 17, and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for all costs and expenses Lessor
incurs in fulfilling such tasks. Lessee agrees that the Equipment and Facilities, when returned to
Lessor, shall be in the same condition as when delivered to Lessee, reasonable wear and tear
excepted, and certified as being eligible for the manufacturer’s generally available maintenance
contract at then prevailing rates, without Lessor incurring any expense to repair, rehabilitate or
certify such Equipment and Facilities (Lessee shall be liable for all costs and expenses Lessor
incurs to place the Equipment and Facilities in such condition). If requested by Lessor, Lessee, at
its expense, shall store the Equipment and Facilities on its premises for a reasonable period, not
to exceed ten (10) business days during which period the Equipment and Facilities shall be subject
to all of the terms and conditions hereof, except for the obligation to make Rental Payments. In
all instances where Lessee is returning Equipment and Facilities to Lessor, Lessee shall give
Lessor written notice thereof in accordance with the terms of the applicable Schedule. If Lessee
fails to provide the aforementioned notice or return the Equipment and Facilities to Lessor in the
time and manner provided above, the Term shall be extended in accordance with the terms of the
applicable Schedule. If any Schedule is extended pursuant to the preceding sentence, Lessee shall
continue to pay the higher of the periodic Rental Payments in effect prior to the expiration of the
then existing term of the applicable Schedule (whether it be the Initial Term or any Renewal Term)
or such other periodic rental payment amount as is specified for such extension period in the
Schedule, and all other provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply.

     18. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement and all Schedules: (a) Lessee fails to pay any Rental Payment or any other

7

 

amount payable to Lessor hereunder within ten (10) days after its due date; or (b) Lessee fails to
perform or observe any other representation, warranty, covenant, condition or agreement to be
performed or observed by Lessee hereunder or in any other agreement with Lessor, or in any
agreement with any other person that in Lessor’s sole opinion is a material agreement, and Lessee
fails to cure any such breach within ten (10) days after notice thereof; or (c) any representation
or warranty made by Lessee hereunder, or in any other instrument provided to Lessor by Lessee,
proves to be incorrect in any material respect when made; or (d) Lessee makes an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, whether voluntary or involuntary; or (e) a proceeding under any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement of debts, insolvency or receivership law is filed by or against Lessee
or Lessee takes any action to authorize any of the foregoing matters; or (f) Lessee becomes
insolvent or fails generally to pay its debts as they become due, the Equipment and Facilities are
levied against, seized or attached, or Lessee seeks to effectuate a bulk sale of Lessee’s inventory
or assets; or (g) Lessee voluntarily or involuntarily dissolves or is dissolved, or terminates or
is terminated; or (h) any guarantor under this Agreement is the subject of an event listed in
clauses (b) through (g) above; or (i) any letter of credit required pursuant to any Schedule is
breached, canceled, terminated or not renewed during the Term of any such Schedule.

     19. REMEDIES. If an Event of Default occurs, Lessor may, in its sole discretion, exercise
one or more of the following remedies: (a) terminate this Agreement or any or all Schedules; or (b)
take possession of, disable or render unusable, any Equipment and Facilities wherever the Equipment
and Facilities may be located, without demand or notice, without any court order or other process
of law and without liability to Lessee for any damages occasioned by such action, and no such
action shall constitute a termination of any Schedule; or (c) require Lessee to deliver the
Equipment and Facilities at a location designated by Lessor; or (d) declare the Lessor’s Return (as
defined in Section 12 hereof and calculated by Lessor as of the date of the Event of Default) for
each applicable Schedule due and payable as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a
penalty and in lieu of any further Rental Payments under the applicable Schedule; or (e) proceed by
court action to enforce performance by Lessee of any Schedule and/or to recover all damages and
expenses incurred by Lessor by reason of any Event of Default; or (f) terminate any other agreement
that Lessor may have with Lessee; or (g) exercise any rights available to Lessor under the Uniform
Computer Information Transactions Act (h) exercise any other right or remedy available to Lessor at
law or in equity. Also, Lessee shall pay Lessor all costs and expenses (including legal fees and
costs and fees of collection agencies) incurred by Lessor in enforcing any of the terms, conditions
or provisions of this Agreement. Upon repossession or surrender of any Equipment and Facilities ,
Lessor shall lease, sell or otherwise dispose of the Equipment and Facilities in a commercially
reasonable manner, with or without notice and at public or private sale, and apply the net proceeds
thereof (after deducting all expenses, including legal fees and costs, incurred in connection
therewith) to the amounts owed to Lessor hereunder; provided,
however, that Lessee shall
remain liable to Lessor for any deficiency that remains after any sale or lease of such Equipment
and Facilities. Lessee agrees that with respect to any notice of a sale required by law to be given
ten (10) days’ notice shall constitute reasonable notice. These remedies are cumulative of every
other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute or otherwise, and may be enforced concurrently therewith or from time to time.

8

 

     20. LESSOR’S PERFORMANCE OF LESSEE’S OBLIGATIONS. If Lessee fails to perform any of its
obligations hereunder, Lessor may perform any act or make any payment that Lessor deems reasonably
necessary for the maintenance and preservation of the Equipment and Facilities and Lessor’s
interests therein; provided, however, that the performance of any act or payment by Lessor
shall not be deemed a waiver of, or release Lessee from, the obligation at issue. All sums so paid
by Lessor, together with expenses, including legal fees and costs, incurred by Lessor in connection
therewith, shall be paid to Lessor by Lessee immediately upon demand.

     21. FINANCING OF ADDITIONS. If, under any Schedule, Lessee intends to make any addition to the
Equipment and Facilities, Lessee may, in writing, request Lessor to finance the costs of such
addition. Lessee shall provide Lessor with the terms under which it hopes to obtain the financing,
and upon receiving such a request Lessor shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether to
provide such financing. Lessor is under no obligation to make or finance additions to the Equipment
and Facilities.

     22. ASSIGNMENT BY LESSOR. Lessor shall have the unqualified right to assign, pledge, transfer,
mortgage or otherwise convey any of its interests hereunder or in any Schedule or any Equipment and
Facilities, in whole or in part, without notice to, or consent of, Lessee. If any Schedule is
assigned, Lessee shall: (a) unless otherwise specified by the Lessor and the assignee specified by
Lessor (the “Assignee”), pay all amounts due under the applicable Schedule to such Assignee,
notwithstanding any defense, setoff or counterclaim whatsoever that Lessee may have against Lessor
or Assignee; (b) not permit the applicable Schedule to be amended or the terms thereof waived
without the prior written consent of the Assignee; (c) not require the Assignee to perform any
obligations of Lessor, other than those that are expressly assumed in writing by such Assignee; and
(d) execute such acknowledgments thereto as may be requested by Lessor. It is further agreed that:
(x) each assignee shall be entitled to all of Lessor’s rights, powers and privileges under the
applicable Schedule, to the extent assigned; (y) any Assignee may reassign its rights and interest
under the applicable Schedule with the same force and effect as the assignment described herein;
and (z) any payments received by the Assignee from Lessee with respect to the assigned portion of
the Schedule shall, to the extent thereof, discharge the obligations of Lessee to Lessor with
respect to the assigned portion of the Schedule. Lessee acknowledges that any assignment or
transfer by Lessor or any assignee shall not materially change Lessee’s obligations under the
assigned schedule.

     23. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE BY LESSEE. Without Lessor’s prior written consent, Lessee shall not
assign this Agreement or any Schedule or assign its rights in or sublet the Equipment and
Facilities or any interest therein and any such assignment or sublease without Lessor’s consent
shall be void; provided, however, that Lessee may sublease or assign a Schedule to an affiliate or
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lessee if: (a) Lessee and such sublessee or assignee execute and
deliver to Lessor a writing (to be provided by Lessor) whereby the sublessee or assignee agrees to
assume joint and several liability with Lessee for the full and prompt payment, observance and
performance when due of all of the obligations of the Lessee under such Schedule; and (b) Lessor
consents to such sublease or assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In no
event, however, shall any such sublease or assignment discharge or diminish any of Lessee’s
obligations to Lessor under such Schedule, nor shall Lessee move or relocate any of the

9

 

Equipment and Facilities, in whole or in part, without Lessor’s prior written consent, which
consent may be granted or withheld in Lessor’s sole discretion.

     24. SURVIVAL; QUIET ENJOYMENT. All representations, warranties and covenants made by Lessee
hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and
effect. All of Lessor’s rights, privileges, and indemnities, to the extent they are fairly
attributable to events or conditions occurring or existing on or prior to the termination of this
Agreement, shall survive such termination and be enforceable by Lessor and any successors and
assigns. So long as no Event of Default exists, and no event has occurred and is continuing that
with notice or the lapse of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, neither Lessor nor
any Assignee will interfere with Lessee’s quiet enjoyment of the Equipment and Facilities.

     25. FILING FEES; FURTHER ASSURANCES; NOTICES. Lessee will promptly reimburse Lessor for any
filing or recordation fees or expenses (including lien search fees, legal fees and costs) incurred
by Lessor in perfecting or protecting its interests in the Equipment and Facilities and under this
Agreement. Lessee shall promptly execute and deliver to Lessor such documents and take such further
action as Lessor may from time to time reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and
purpose of this Agreement and to protect the rights and remedies of Lessor created or intended to
be created hereunder. All notices under this Agreement shall be sent to the respective party at its
address set forth on the front page of this Agreement or on the applicable Schedule or at such
other address as the parties may provide to each other in writing from time to time. Any such
notice mailed to said address shall be effective when deposited in the United States mail, duly
addressed and with first-class postage prepaid.

     26. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; SUCCESSORS. Lessee and Lessor each irrevocably waive all right to
trial by jury in any lawsuit, proceeding, counterclaim or any other litigation or proceeding upon,
arising out of, or related to, this Agreement, any other fundamental agreement, or the dealings or
relationship between or among Lessor, Lessee, Seller or any other person. This Agreement and all
Schedules inure to the benefit of and are binding upon the permitted successors or assigns of
Lessor and Lessee.

     27. NO
WAIVER; LESSOR APPROVAL. Any failure of Lessor to require strict performance by Lessee,
or any written waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof, shall not constitute consent or waiver of
any other breach of the same or any other provision hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any other
Fundamental Agreement shall be binding upon Lessor unless and until executed by Lessor.

     28. CAPTIONS; COUNTERPARTS; LESSOR’S AFFILIATES. The captions contained in this Agreement are
for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. Only one
counterpart of the Schedule shall be marked “Original” (the “Original”), and all other counterparts
thereof shall be marked as, and shall be, duplicates. To the extent that any Schedule constitutes
chattel paper (as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any applicable
jurisdiction), no security interest in such Schedule may be created through the transfer or
possession of any counterpart other than the Original. Lessee understands and agrees that MetroPCS
Wireless, Inc. or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof, may, as Lessor, execute Schedules under this
Agreement, in which event the terms and conditions of the applicable

10

 

Schedule and this Agreement as it relates to the Lessor under such Schedule shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of such entity executing such Schedule as Lessor, as well as any
successors or assigns of such entity.

     29. CHOICE OF LAW; INTEGRATION; ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Each lease under this Agreement shall
be governed by the internal laws (as opposed to conflicts of law provisions) of the state of
Delaware. If any provision of this Agreement or such Schedule shall be prohibited by or invalid
under that law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of
this Agreement or such Schedule. Lessor and Lessee consent to the jurisdiction of any local, state
or Federal court located within the State, and waive any objection relating to improper venue or
forum non conveniens to the conduct of any proceeding in any such court. This Agreement and all
other Fundamental Agreements executed by both Lessor and Lessee constitute the entire agreement
between Lessor and Lessee relating to the leasing of the Equipment and Facilities, and supersede
all prior agreements relating thereto, whether written or oral, and may not be amended or modified
except in a writing signed by the parties hereto.
