                  Net Proceeds received by Parent Group only to the extent such
                  Net Proceeds are received by Parent or any such wholly-owned
                  subsidiary as cash proceeds, or are permitted to be
                  transferred to and received by Parent or any such wholly-owned

                  Proceeds, calculated without regard to this sentence, of any
                  Indebtedness incurred by Parent Group to the extent the

                  Indebtedness of the Parent Group.

                  (iv) the definition of "Permitted Encumbrances" is hereby
         amended as follows:

                  under clause (iii) of this paragraph shall not be unreasonably
                  withheld if, after April 1, 2002, the Borrower consents to an
                  assignment of less than $3,000,000 relating to any Other Loan
                  Document and

         FCC Debt;

provided that such License Subsidiaries transfer FCC Licenses, as soon as
reasonably practicable after April 30, 2002, to other License Subsidiaries as
contemplated by Exhibit B hereto so that each FCC License that is financed with
FCC Debt is owned by a License Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of
Section 6.13 of the Credit Agreement, and each such License Subsidiary shall
take all reasonable steps to accomplish such transfers including, without
limitation, filing with the FCC on or before April 8, 2002 applications to
transfer control of the applicable FCC Licenses to other License Subsidiaries,
provided, further, however, that Chasetel Licensee Corp. need not act to
transfer its FCC Licenses listed in Section D of Exhibit A hereto to other
License Subsidiaries until three Business Days after the currently pending
license transfer transaction relating to such FCC Licenses is abandoned or
terminated by the parties thereto.

         (c) The waivers set forth in this Section 2 are for the limited
purposes set forth herein and are limited strictly as written, and shall not
obligate the undersigned Lenders to enter into or provide any future amendment,
consent, waiver or departure from the terms and conditions of the Credit
Agreement.

Cricket Licensee (Lakeland), Inc. to transfer its FCC License covering Lakeland,

transferred to a License Subsidiary, with such transfers to occur substantially
as described to the Administrative Agent.

         Section 5. Control Agreements. Within forty-five days of the Amendment

                        ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT

      THIS ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), dated as of
____________ (the "Effective Date"), is by and between LEAP WIRELESS
INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Leap"), and ((COMPANY)), a
Delaware corporation (the "Company").

      WHEREAS, the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Leap; and

      WHEREAS, the Company desires to enter into this Agreement with Leap for
the provision of administrative services to the Company on the terms set forth
herein.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and for other good
and valid consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE 1

                                    SERVICES

      1.1 SERVICES.

            (a) ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES. Except as otherwise provided herein,
for the term determined pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof, Leap shall provide, or
cause to be provided, to the Company the following "Initial Services:"

                  (i) Human resources and personnel services, including
recruiting and hiring of new employees and administration of payroll, employee
benefits and stock option issuance and tracking ("HR Services");

                  (ii) Media relations, public affairs and advertising services
("Media Services");

                  (iii) Accounting, tax (including preparation and filing of all
federal and state income and franchise tax returns, as applicable), billing,
legal and other corporate support services ("Corporate Support Services");

                  (iv) Facilities rental, maintenance and related services,
including supply of telephone and utility services, in San Diego ("Facilities
Services"); and

                  (v) Payment of all federal and state unitary income taxes
("Income Tax Payments") owing from the Company.

            (b) ADDITIONAL SERVICES. From time to time after the date of this
Agreement, the parties may identify and agree upon additional services that Leap
will provide the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the
"Additional Services" and, together with the Initial Services, the "Services");
provided, however, Leap shall have no obligation hereunder to
<PAGE>
provide any Additional Services unless it expressly so agrees. To the extent the
parties agree, the parties shall create an amendment to this Agreement, setting
forth a description of the Additional Service(s), the time period during which
the Additional Service(s) will be provided, the charge, if any, for the
Additional Service(s) and any other terms applicable thereto.

            (c) SERVICES PERFORMED BY OTHERS. At its option, Leap may cause any
Service it is required to provide hereunder to be provided by any other person
or entity that is providing, or may from time to time provide, the same or
similar services for Leap.

      1.2 TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date
and shall remain in effect until the first anniversary of the Effective Date and
thereupon (and upon each anniversary thereafter)(the "Renewal Date") shall
automatically renew for an additional one year period, unless (i) earlier
terminated under Section 1.7 hereof or (ii) terminated by either party upon the
Renewal Date, provided that such party has given written notice to the other
party no less than six months prior to the Renewal Date, with a copy to the
agent under the Credit Agreement and to the agent under each other credit
agreement constituting a Secured Instrument (in either event, the "Termination
Date"). The terms "Credit Agreement" and "Secured Instrument" are used in
Sections 1.2 and 1.7 as such terms are defined in the Collateral Agency and
Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of November 24, 1999, among Cricket
Communications, Inc., State Street Bank and Trust Company, and the other parties
thereto, as amended from time to time.

      1.3 CHARGES AND PAYMENT.

            (a) CHARGES FOR INITIAL SERVICES. Leap shall allocate and bill the
Company for all reasonable charges stemming from the provision of (i) the HR
Services, the Media Services, the Corporate Support Services, and the Facilities
Services annually for a fixed fee of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00)
per year; and (ii) the Income Tax Payments in accordance with the provisions of
Regulation Section 1.1502-33(d)(3) promulgated by the United States Treasury
Department in conjunction with the method under Regulation Section
1.1552-1(a)(1) (The percentage to be used under Regulation Section 1.1502(d)(1)
is 100%), all as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the process and
procedures established under subsection 1.3(d) hereof. Wherever practical,
charges shall be levied only to the extent necessary to reimburse Leap for the
costs of performing the Services, and shall be based on actual incurred costs,
not budgeted or estimated costs.

            (b) CHARGES FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES. The Company shall pay Leap the
charges, if any, set forth in the applicable amendment to this Agreement for the
provision of each of the Additional Services listed therein, which charges shall
be determined consistent with subsection 1.3(a) above.

            (c) PAYMENT TERMS. Leap shall bill the Company pro-rata on a monthly
basis for all charges pursuant to this Agreement. Such bills shall be
accompanied by reasonable documentation or other reasonable explanation
supporting such charges. The Company shall pay Leap for all Services provided
hereunder within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor. Late
payments shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, compounded annually.
<PAGE>
            (d) ERROR CORRECTION; TRUE-UPS; ACCOUNTING. The parties shall agree
on a process and procedure for conducting internal audits and making adjustments
to charges as a result of the movement of employees and functions between
parties, the discovery of errors or omissions in charges, as well as a true-up
of amounts owed. In no event shall such processes and procedures extend beyond
one (1) year after completion of a Service.

            (e) PRICING ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of a tax audit adjustment
relating to the pricing of any or all Services provided pursuant to this
Agreement in which it is determined by a taxing authority that any of the
charges, individually or in combination, did not result in an arm's-length
payment, then the parties may agree to make corresponding adjustments to the
charges in question for such period to the extent necessary to achieve
arm's-length pricing. Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection 1.3(e)
shall be reflected in the parties' official books and records, and the resulting
overpayment or underpayment shall create an obligation to be paid by either Leap
or the Company, as applicable, on the same payment terms as specified in
subsection 1.3(c) above.

            (f) REIMBURSEMENT OF OTHER COSTS AND EXPENSES. From time to time,
Leap may, with the approval of the Company, incur costs and expenses on a
reasonable basis on behalf of the Company unrelated to the provision of the
Services and shall invoice the Company separately for such costs and expenses.
The Company shall promptly, and in no event later than thirty (30) days
following receipt of such invoice, remit payment therefore to Leap.

      1.4 GENERAL OBLIGATIONS; STANDARD OF CARE.

            (a) PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS: LEAP. Subject to subsection 1.5(b),
Leap shall maintain sufficient resources to perform its obligations hereunder.
Leap shall exercise the same care and skill as it exercises in performing
similar services for itself.

            (b) PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS: THE COMPANY. The Company shall, in
connection with receiving Services, provide information and documentation,
sufficient resources and timely decisions, approvals and acceptances in order
that Leap may accomplish its obligations hereunder in a timely manner.

            (c) NATURE OF SERVICES; CHANGES. The parties acknowledge the nature
of the Services and that Leap may make changes from time to time in the manner
of performing the Services (e.g., if Leap is making similar changes in
performing similar services for itself and its affiliates).

            (d) RESPONSIBILITY FOR ERRORS; DELAYS. Leap's sole responsibility to
the Company:

                  (i) for errors or omissions in connection with Services shall
be to furnish correct information, payment and/or adjustment in the Services, at
no additional cost or expense to the Company; provided, the Company must
promptly advise Leap of any such error or omission of which it becomes aware;
and
<PAGE>
                  (ii) for failure to adequately deliver any Service because of
Impracticability, shall be to use reasonable efforts, subject to subsection
1.5(b), to make the Services available and/or to resume performing the Services
as promptly as reasonably practicable.

            (e) GOOD FAITH COOPERATION; CONSENTS. The parties will use good
faith efforts to cooperate with each other in all matters relating to the
provision and receipt of Services. Such cooperation shall include exchanging
information, providing electronic access to systems used in connection with
Services, performing true-ups and adjustments and obtaining all consents,
licenses, sublicenses or approvals necessary to permit each party to perform its
obligations hereunder. The costs of obtaining such consents, licenses,
sublicenses or approvals shall be allocated in accordance with Section 1.3(a).
The parties will maintain supporting documentation and cooperate with each other
in making such information available as needed in the event of a tax audit.

            (f) ALTERNATIVES. If Leap reasonably believes it is unable to
provide any Service because of Impracticability, the parties shall cooperate to
determine the best alternative approach. Until such alternative approach is
found or the problem otherwise resolved to the satisfaction of the parties, Leap
shall use reasonable efforts, subject to Section 1.5(a) and Section 1.5(b), to
continue providing the Service. To the extent an agreed upon alternative
approach requires payment above and beyond that which is included in Leap's
charge for the Service in question, the Company shall make any such additional
payment unless the parties otherwise agree in writing.

      1.5 CERTAIN LIMITATIONS.

            (a) IMPRACTICABILITY. Leap shall not be required to provide any
Service to the extent the performance of such Service becomes "Impracticable" as
a result of a cause or causes outside the reasonable control of Leap, or to the
extent the performance of such Services would require Leap to violate any
applicable laws, rules or regulations, or would result in the breach of any
software license or other applicable contract.

            (b) ADDITIONAL RESOURCES. In providing the Services, Leap shall not
be obligated to: (i) hire any additional employees; (ii) maintain the employment
of any specific employee; (iii) purchase, lease or license any additional
equipment or software; or (iv) pay any costs related to the transfer or
conversion of the Company's data to the Company or any alternate supplier of
Services.

            (c) NO SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT. The Company may not sell,
transfer, assign or otherwise use the Services provided hereunder, in whole or
in part, for the benefit of any person or entity other than the Company.

      1.6 CONFIDENTIALITY.

            (a) INFORMATION SUBJECT TO OTHER OBLIGATIONS. The Company agrees
that all confidential information regarding the Services, including, but not
limited to, price, costs, methods of operation, and software, shall be
maintained in confidence.
<PAGE>
            (b) INTERNAL USE; TITLE, COPIES, RETURN. The Company agrees that:

                  (i) all systems, procedures and related materials provided to
the Company are for the Company's internal use only and only as related to the
Services;

                  (ii) title to all systems used in performing the Services
provided hereunder shall remain in Leap or its third party vendors;

                  (iii) The Company shall not copy, modify, reverse engineer,
decompile or in any way alter systems without Leap's express written consent;

                  (iv) Upon the termination of any of the Services, the Company
shall return to Leap, as soon as practicable, any equipment or other property of
Leap relating to the Services which is owned or leased by Leap and is or was in
the Company's possession or control.

      1.7 TERMINATION.

            (a) ELECTION TO TERMINATE. Either party may terminate this Agreement
with respect to some or all of the Services by giving at least six months
advance written notice of such termination to the other party, with a copy to
the agent under the Credit Agreement and to the agent under each other credit
agreement constituting a Secured Instrument.

            (b) AUTOMATIC TERMINATION. Except to the extent the parties
otherwise agree in writing, this Agreement will automatically terminate on the
Termination Date.

            (c) TERMINATION OF LESS THAN ALL SERVICES. In the event of any
termination with respect to one or more, but less than all, Services, this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any Services
not terminated hereby.

      1.8 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION.

            (a) DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. LEAP DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO THE
SERVICES. LEAP MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE QUALITY,
SUITABILITY OR ADEQUACY OF THE SERVICES FOR ANY PURPOSE OR USE.

            (b) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION OF THE COMPANY. Leap
shall have no liability to the Company with respect to its furnishing any of the
Services hereunder except for liabilities arising out of its gross negligence or
willful misconduct occurring after the date hereof. Leap will indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the Company in respect of all liabilities related to, arising
from, asserted against or associated with such gross negligence or willful
misconduct. In no event shall Leap or any of its agents or affiliates have any
liability for any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages,
whether or not caused by or resulting from negligence or breach of obligations
hereunder and whether or not informed of the possibility of the existence of
such damages.

shall indemnify and hold harmless Leap in respect of all liabilities related to,
arising from, asserted against or associated with Leap's furnishing or failing
to furnish the Services provided for in this Agreement, other than liabilities
arising out of the willful misconduct following the date hereof. In no event
shall Leap have any liability for any incidental, indirect, special or
consequential damages, whether or not caused by or resulting from negligence or
breach of obligations hereunder and whether or not informed of the possibility
of the existence of such damages.

charges (and any related interest and penalties) imposed as a result of the
Company's receipt of Services under this Agreement, including any tax which the
Company is required to withhold or deduct from payments to Leap, except any net
income tax imposed upon Leap.

      2.2 RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or
construed by the parties or any third party as creating the relationship of
principal and agent, partnership or joint venture between the parties, it being
understood and agreed that no provision contained herein, and no act of the
parties, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties other
than the relationship of independent contractor nor be deemed to vest any
rights, interest or claims in any third parties.

      2.3 MODIFICATION AND AMENDMENT. This Agreement may not be modified or
amended except in a writing signed by the parties.
