                      NETWORK MEMBERSHIP LICENSE AGREEMENT

         AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO NETWORK MEMBERSHIP LICENSE AGREEMENT ("Amendment No.
5"), dated as of October 31, 2003, by and among AT&T Corp., a New York
corporation, with offices located at 32 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New
York 10013, for itself and its affiliated companies (collectively, "Licensor"),
Triton PCS Operating Company L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, with
offices located at 1100 Cassatt Road, Berwyn, PA 19312 ("Licensee") and AT&T
Wireless Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices located at 7277
164th Avenue N.E., Redmond, WA 98052 ("AWS"). Certain capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined have the meaning assigned to such terms in the
License Agreement referred to below.

         WHEREAS, AT&T Wireless PCS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
("AWE") is a stockholder of Triton PCS Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Triton PCS Holdings") that is the indirect owner of all of the membership
interests of Licensee, and AWS is the sole member of AWE;

         WHEREAS, AWS, AWE and/or certain of their affiliates are parties to
various agreements with Licensee and/or Triton PCS Holdings and certain of their
affiliates regarding the governance and operation of Triton PCS Holdings and its
affiliates;

         WHEREAS, Licensor and AWS have, for many years, used and Licensor,
Licensee and AWS desire that Licensee continue to use, in accordance with the
terms of that certain Network Membership License Agreement, dated as of February
4, 1998, between Licensor and Licensee (as amended, and including the terms and
conditions of the letter from Mary Hawkins-Key to Andrew Price, dated October
20, 1998, the "License Agreement"), as amended hereby, the Licensed Marks in
connection with the Licensed Activities; and

         WHEREAS, Licensor, AWS and Licensee seek to extend the initial License
Agreement term for one (1) year, in lieu of renewing the License Agreement for
an additional five (5) year term as provided therein, and to provide for the
potential of additional one year terms thereafter pursuant to the terms and
conditions contained herein.

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as
follows:

         1.       Amendment of Section 11.1(a). Section 11.1(a) of the License
Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is hereby inserted
in lieu thereof:

<PAGE>

         "(a) This Agreement shall commence on February 4, 1998 and shall be in
effect for seven (7) years following such date ("initial term"), unless
terminated earlier pursuant to this Section 11. At the end of the initial term,
this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive additional one (1) year
terms ("One-Year Additional Terms") unless this Agreement is terminated by
Licensee or Licensor giving written notice to the other party (i) no later than
ninety (90) days prior to the end of the initial term; or (ii) during any one of
the One Year Additional Terms and no later than ninety (90) days prior to the
end of the then current One Year Additional Term. Licensor shall not give such
notice of termination, nor otherwise terminate this Agreement under the
foregoing sentence, unless requested to do so in writing by AWS; and if so
requested by AWS, in AWS' sole discretion, Licensor shall provide such timely
termination notice to Licensee and thereby terminate this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor may provide such termination notice and
thereby terminate this Agreement, without AWS' request to do so if a Significant
Breach by Licensee has occurred and is continuing and Licensor notifies AWS of
its intent to pursue its remedies with respect thereto giving AWS an
opportunity, at AWS' sole discretion, to first help resolve Licensor's
concerns."

         2.       No Diminishment. Nothing in this Amendment No. 5 shall be
construed in any way to diminish or condition any of the rights or exclusivity
granted to AWS under the Brand License Agreement entered into between Licensor
and AWS on June 4, 2001, other than for the temporary, limited and narrow
incursion on AWS's exclusivity in the Licensed Territory made during the term of
the License Agreement by the license granted to Licensee under section 2.1
thereof, which license is granted at AWS's request and with its permission.

         3.       Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Amendment
No. 5 which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or
affecting the validity or remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity
or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

         4.       Agreement to Remain in Full Force and Effect. This Amendment
No. 5 shall be deemed to be an amendment to the License Agreement. All
references to the License Agreement in any other agreements or documents shall
on and after the date hereof be deemed to refer to the License Agreement as
amended hereby. Except as amended hereby, the License Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect and is hereby ratified, adopted and confirmed in all
respects.

         5.       Headings. The headings in this Amendment No. 5 are inserted
for convenience and identification only and are not intended to describe,
interpret, define or limit the scope, extent or intent of this Amendment No. 5
or any provision hereof.

         6.       Counterparts. This Amendment No. 5 may be executed in
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same Amendment No. 5.

and interpretation of this Amendment No. 5 shall be governed by the U.S.
Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq., and the internal, substantive laws of the
State of New York, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law;
provided that if the foregoing laws should be modified during the term hereof in
such a way as to adversely affect the original intent of the parties, the
parties will negotiate in good faith to amend this Amendment No. 5 to effectuate
their original intent as closely as possible.

         8.       Other Agreements.

         (a)      All the Parties agree that no provision of this Amendment No.
5 shall be deemed an acknowledgement or agreement by Triton PCS Holdings,
Licensee or any of their affiliates that any of them are a party to or otherwise
subject to or bound by the terms of the AT&T-AWS Brand License Agreement, nor
shall it be deemed evidence that any such entity has any responsibility for the
terms of such agreement.

         (b)      Neither the existence nor the terms this Amendment No. 5, nor
the parties' performance of their obligations hereunder, shall (i) constitute an
approval or consent, or a waiver or modification by any party of any rights,
remedies or obligations that such party may have (including, without limitation,
with respect to exclusivity rights), under any other agreements (including,
without limitation, the Stockholder' Agreement) or (ii) be used to interpret the
provisions or intent of such other agreement in any arbitration, litigation or
other adversarial proceeding.

John D. Beletic
3219 Drexel Drive
Dallas, Texas 75205

Dear Mr. Beletic:

You have served as a director of Triton PCS Holdings, Inc. ("Triton") since 1998
and your current term as director is scheduled to expire as of Triton's annual
meeting scheduled to occur in May 2004 (the "2004 Annual Meeting"). As you will
not be standing for reelection to a new term and have therefore indicated a
willingness to resign from your position as director without completing the
remainder of your term, the Board of Directors of Triton has agreed to accept
your resignation from service as a director of Triton. In light of your past
services as a director and in connection with your resignation, Triton hereby
agrees to the following terms and conditions set forth in this letter (this
"Agreement"):

1.                Resignation. Your resignation from the Board of Directors and
its committees will become effective as of February 26, 2004 (the "Effective
Date"), the date immediately following the conclusion of the February 2004 Board
of Directors' meeting, and you will cease to be a director as of that date. It
is expected and agreed that, through the Effective Date, you will continue to
perform your duties as a member of Triton's Board of Directors, its Compensation
Committee and its Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee in a manner
consistent with past practices and your fiduciary obligations to Triton.
Further, your intent is that you not be re-nominated nor stand for election in
connection with the 2004 Annual Meeting.

Announcement of your resignation shall be made at a time mutually agreeable to
you and Triton, except for such other disclosure by Triton as may be required by
applicable law or regulation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Triton acknowledges
and agrees that, in the course of your future professional activities, you are
free to disclose the dates and nature of the services you performed for Triton.
Attached for your review is a draft press release. Triton understands, and by
execution of this Agreement, you hereby acknowledge and agree that your
resignation is not because of any disagreement with Triton relating to its
operations, policies, or practices.

2.                Compensation. In connection with your resignation, Triton will
pay or provide the compensation set forth in this Section 2. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all payments made in accordance with this Section
shall be made in accordance with Triton's existing practices relating to
directors' compensation.

                  a.       Triton will pay you all director's fees earned but
         unpaid through the Effective Date. Such fees shall be determined in
         accordance with the directors' compensation arrangements approved by
         the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors in November 2003.
         You will also be reimbursed for any unreimbursed business expenses in
         accordance with Triton's standard policies and procedures. Such amounts
         shall be paid within ten days following the Effective Date.

                  b.       With respect to your award of restricted stock
         described in the Director Stock Award Agreement dated June 24, 2002,
         those shares shall not be affected by your resignation and shall become
         fully vested as of June 24, 2004, provided that you have

<PAGE>

         complied, in all material respects, with the terms of this Agreement at
         all times from the Effective Date through June 24, 2004. Triton shall
         take such actions as may be necessary to provide for the acceleration
         of vesting as described herein. Triton will cause this Agreement and
         the transactions contemplated hereby to be approved by its Board of
         Directors, including, without limitation, the provisions of this
         Agreement which (i) state that the restricted stock (as described in
         this Section 2(b)) will not be forfeited upon your resignation; and
         (ii) accelerate the vesting of your restricted stock.

                  c.       Triton shall provide a one-time payment to you of
         $107,250.00, which shall be paid to you within five (5) days after June
         24, 2004, provided that you have complied, in all material respects,
         with the terms of this Agreement at all times from the Effective Date
         through that date. The payment provided herein is intended to reflect
         payments that you may have become entitled to had you continued as a
         director through the end of your term in May 2004.

3.                Excess Payments. You acknowledge that the payments to be
provided to you under Section 2 above exceed any compensation that would
otherwise be paid to you in connection with your resignation. You further
acknowledge and agree that the payments to be provided to you under Section 2
above and the other benefits and consideration to be furnished to you pursuant
to this Agreement shall be in lieu of and discharge any obligations of Triton to
you for any further compensation or any other expectations of remuneration or
benefit.

4.                Further Cooperation and Benefits. You agree, upon reasonable
request, to provide to Triton and its subsidiaries and affiliates truthful and
complete cooperation in any litigation or arbitration of matters arising out of
or related to your activities while a director of Triton, whether or not such
matters have commenced as of the Effective Date. The Company shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to schedule any services requested under this
Section 4 at such times and locations as shall not unreasonably interfere with
your business or personal affairs. You will be entitled to reimbursement for the
out-of-pocket expenses you reasonably incur in connection with providing
services as provided in this Section 4. Following your resignation, Triton
agrees to indemnify you against and hold you harmless from liabilities, costs,
claims and expenses arising out of or attributable to your service as a director
of Triton to the same extent that it provides indemnification to its then
serving directors. In addition, following your resignation, Triton agrees to
provide best efforts to continue coverage under Triton's "D & O" insurance
coverage with respect to liabilities, costs, claims and expenses arising out of
or attributable to your service as a director of Triton to the same extent that
it provides such coverage to its then serving directors, and to the extent that
the cost of such coverage is commercially reasonable.

5.                Release. As a material inducement to Triton to enter into this
Agreement and in consideration for the payments and covenants contained herein,
you, on behalf of yourself, your heirs, executors, administrators and assigns
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release Triton, and its current, former
and future parent companies, subsidiaries and affiliates, together with all of
its current, former and future employees, directors, partners, members,
shareholders, officers, agents, attorneys, representatives, predecessors,
successors, related entities, assigns, and the like, and all persons acting by,
through, under or in concert with any of them (collectively, the "Releasees")
from any and all charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations,
promises, agreements, controversies, damages or causes of action, suits, rights,
demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs incurred) of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, including, but not limited to, any claims arising out of or related
to your service as a director of Triton, but excluding claims by you for

<PAGE>

indemnification to the extent that Triton has agreed to provide such
indemnification pursuant to the terms of its certificate of incorporation, its
bylaws, a resolution of the Board of Directors, an indemnification agreement,
any directors and officers liability policy or otherwise.

6.                No Complaints. You represent that you have not filed any
complaints or charges or lawsuits against Triton or any other Releasee with any
governmental agency or court and you have not assigned or transferred, or
purported to assign or transfer, to any person or entity, any claim or any
portion thereof or interest therein you have against Triton or any other
Releasee that would, but for such assignment be released by this Agreement.
Triton represents that it has not filed any complaints or charges or lawsuits
against you with any governmental agency or court and Triton has not assigned or
transferred, or purported to assign or transfer, to any person or entity, any
claim or any portion thereof or interest therein it may have against you that
would, but for such assignment, be released by this Agreement. You represent and
agree that your resignation is not the result of and does not relate to a
disagreement with Triton relating to its operations, policies or practices that
would be required to be disclosed on a Form 8-K under applicable Securities and
Exchange Commission rules and regulations.

7.                Confidentiality. You acknowledge and agree that as a director
of Triton you have obtained material, confidential and proprietary information
regarding Triton, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates. You further agree that
you will not disclose or otherwise make use of any such information following
your resignation from the Board of Directors; provided, nothing contained herein
will be deemed to restrict you from disclosing information that is in the public
domain or information furnished to you (without obligation of confidentiality)
by a third party.

8.                Non-Disparagement. You agree that you will not make any
disparaging or defamatory comments about Triton, or any of its officers,
directors, management, or employees, nor will you authorize, encourage or
participate with anyone on your behalf to make such statements. Triton agrees
that no member of the Board of Directors of Triton nor any executive officer
will make any disparaging or defamatory comments about you and will not
authorize, encourage or participate with anyone to make such statements.

9.                Reliance. Each party represents and acknowledges that such
party understands the terms of this Agreement and has been given an opportunity
to ask questions of the representatives of the other party. Each party further
represents that in signing this Agreement each party is not relying, and has not
relied, on any representation or statement not set forth in this Agreement made
by any representative of the other party or any other person or entity with
regard to the subject matter, basis or effect of this Agreement or otherwise.
This Agreement is knowingly and voluntarily entered into by each of the parties
hereto.

10.               Securities Filings. The parties will cooperate in making any
filings that may be required relating to any acquisition or disposition by you
of any securities of Triton on or after your resignation, including but not
limited to any notices required under the Triton's First Amended and Restated
Stockholders' Agreement, as amended, any Form 144 filings and any Forms 4 and 5
filings. Triton will also assist you in making any such filings, including,
without limitation, making any "EDGAR" filings on your behalf. Such assistance
and services will be furnished without charge.

11.               Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire
agreement between the parties hereto and except as expressly provided herein
fully supersedes any and all prior agreements, understandings or arrangements
between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, you agree that you are

<PAGE>

subject to the terms and conditions contained in Triton's First Amended and
Restated Stockholders Agreement, as amended.

                  b.       The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if
