         other terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the provisions of
         this Plan.

9.       Travel Expense Reimbursement. All Participants shall be reimbursed for
reasonable travel expenses (including spouse's expenses to attend events to
which spouses are invited) in connection with attendance at meetings of the
Board and its Directors, or other Company functions at which the Chief Executive
Officer requests the Participant to participate. If the travel expense is

non-commercial air travel, such reimbursement shall not exceed the rate for
comparable travel by means of commercial airlines.

10.      Insurance. The Company shall maintain director's and officer's
insurance with reputable carriers of at least $15 million.

price therefor. In the event the Common Stock shall be changed into or exchanged
for a different number or class of shares of stock or securities of the Company
or of another corporation, whether through reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, share exchange, stock split-up, combination of shares, merger
or consolidation, or otherwise, the number of Options to be granted to
Participants in accordance with Section 8 hereof shall be adjusted
proportionately, and the Options and awards of Restricted Stock granted pursuant
to the Plan shall be adjusted as provided in the Management Plan.

12.      Amendment, Modification and Termination of Plan. The Board may, at any
time and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate the Plan without
stockholder or Participant approval; provided, however, that the Board may
condition any amendment or modification on the approval of stockholders of the
Company if such approval is necessary or deemed advisable with respect to tax,
securities or other applicable laws, policies or regulations. No amendment,
modification or termination of the Plan shall adversely affect any outstanding
Option or Restricted Stock award, without the written consent of the
Participant.

13.      Amendment, Modification or Termination of Outstanding Options. At any
time and from time to time, the Board may amend, modify or terminate any
outstanding Option without approval of the Participant; provided, however, that,
subject to the terms of the applicable Option Agreement, such amendment,
modification or termination shall not, without the Participant's consent, reduce
or diminish the value of such Option determined as if the Option had been
exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment
or termination.

14.      No Stockholder's Rights. No Option gives the Participant any of the
rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until shares of Common Stock
are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Option.

15.      No Right to Continued Board Membership. Nothing in the Plan shall limit
in any way the right of the Board to nominate any Director for reelection by the
Company's shareholders or limit the rights of the Board or the shareholders to
remove any Directors.

16.      Unfunded Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to be an "unfunded" plan
for incentive and deferred compensation of Non-Employee Directors. With respect
to any payments not yet made to a Participant, nothing contained in the Plan
shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general
creditor of the Company. The Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or
other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver
Common Stock or make payments, so long as the existence of such trusts or other
arrangements is consistent with the unfunded nature of the Plan.

17.      Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which
shall have full authority to construe and interpret the Plan, to establish,
amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to take all
such actions and make such determinations in connection with the Plan as it may
deem necessary or desirable.

18.      Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued and
the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether such fractional shares
shall be disregarded or eliminated by rounding up.

19.      Government Regulations. The obligation of the Company issue Common
Stock pursuant to the Plan or upon the exercise of Options or otherwise shall be
subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by
government agencies as may be required. The Company shall be under no obligation
to register under the 1933 Act, or any state securities act, any of the shares
of Common Stock issued in connection with the Plan. The transfer of shares
issued in connection with the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from
registration under the 1933 Act, and the Company may restrict the transfer of
such shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of
any such exemption.

20.      Governing Law. To the extent not governed by federal law, the Plan and
all Options and Restricted Stock shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

21.      Number and Source of Shares Available. All Options and Restricted Stock
issued under the Plan shall automatically be granted under the Management Plan
and shall reduce the number of shares available under the Management Plan. The
terms contained in the Management Plan are incorporated into and made a part of
this Plan with respect to Options and Restricted Stock granted pursuant hereto
and any such awards shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
Management Plan. In the event of any actual or alleged conflict between the
provisions of the Management Plan and the provisions of this Plan, the
provisions of the Management Plan shall be controlling and determinative.

22.      Miscellaneous.

                  (a) The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by
         the Company.

                  (b) The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are

         the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall
         control.

                  (c) Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any
         masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural
         shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

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

1. Section 7.4(c) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced
with the following:

                  (c) Put. Commencing on January 31, 2006, and at any time
         thereafter, or if at any time the Member Committee shall call for
         additional capital contributions (unless such capital call shall have
         been approved by the AT&T PCS Member Group), and upon the written
         demand of AT&T PCS, CBI on behalf of itself and/or its Affiliates shall
         purchase all the Interests of the AT&T PCS Member Group for a cash

<PAGE>

         shall such closing be before January 31, 2006 (other than for a Put
         which arises as a result of a capital call). At such closing, AT&T PCS
         shall represent and warrant only that the AT&T PCS Member Group has
         good and marketable title to the Interests being sold, free and clear
         of all Liens and has the power and authority to transfer the Interest
         free of any conflict with the terms of any material agreement, law,
         order or instrument binding upon it and shall deliver the instrument of
         assignment attached hereto as Exhibit A. AT&T PCS, CBI and CBW shall
         cooperate to achieve the transfer of the Interests through a structure
         taking into account the relative tax considerations of the Members in
         connection with such transfer. Upon the closing, the AT&T PCS Member
         Group shall be relieved of all obligations under this Agreement and CBI
         and the AT&T PCS Member Group will enter into a release agreement
         substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Notwithstanding
         this Section 7.4(c), in the event that prior to such closing, CBI
         delivers the Call Notice for a closing to occur prior to January 31,
         2006, the purchase of the Interests of the AT&T PCS Member Group shall
         be made pursuant to Section 7.4(d) provided that in no event shall the
         closing occur at a date later than the date that the closing of the Put
         would have occurred pursuant to the Put Notice. Moreover,
         notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including
         without limitation Section 7.3(g)), no transfer of any Interests by the
         CBW Member Group pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Agreement shall relieve
         CBI (or any successor) of its obligations pursuant to this Section
         7.4(c).

2. Section 7.4(d)(i) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced
with the following:

                  (d)      Call.

                           (i) Right to Call; Value. Commencing on the
                  Consummation, and at any time thereafter, CBI and/or any of
                  its Affiliates shall have the option to purchase the Interests
                  owned by the AT&T PCS Member Group in the Company (the "Call")
                  for a purchase price equal to an amount that is $85.0 million
                  dollars accreting daily at an annual rate of 5% compounding
                  monthly from the Effective Date to and including the date of
                  closing of the Call (the "Call Value"). If the closing of the
                  Call has not occurred prior to January 31, 2006, then on such
                  date, the Call Value shall be adjusted down to $83.0 million
                  and shall begin accreting again on the same terms from such
                  date. AT&T PCS, CBI and CBW shall cooperate to achieve the
                  transfer of the Interests through a structure taking into
                  account the relative tax considerations of the Members in
                  connection with such transfer.

3. Section 7.4(e) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced
with the following:

                           (e) Governmental Approvals. In the event that any
                  approvals, consents, authorizations, clearances, exemptions,
                  waivers or similar affirmations of any governmental or
                  regulatory authority including those required pursuant to the
                  HSR Act ("Governmental Approvals") are required to close the
                  transactions contemplated pursuant to Section 7.4(c) or (d)
                  hereof, the parties agree that any

                                       2
<PAGE>

                  filings or requests for any Governmental Approvals shall be
                  prepared and filed with the appropriate governmental agency
                  within 10 business days from the receipt of the Put Notice or
                  Call Notice, as the case may be, but in any event no later
                  than August 1, 2005 if permitted by such governmental agency
                  and if not, no later than the earliest date such filing is
                  permitted thereafter. The parties agree to use their best
                  efforts to obtain all Governmental Approvals by the applicable
                  scheduled closing date, or sooner if practicable, and
                  notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, (i) to use
                  their best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to

                  agencies or committees for additional information or
                  documentation, (ii) to notify each other promptly of all
                  correspondence, filings or communications with such party or
                  its representatives, (iii) to furnish each other with such
                  necessary information and reasonable assistance as such other
                  party may request in connection with their preparation of all
                  filings relating to the Governmental Approvals, and (iv) all

                  participate in the exercise of the Put or Call if such
                  Affiliate's participation causes any delay in obtaining any
                  Governmental Approval required to close such transactions.

                  (a) a sale to a third party pursuant to Section 7.4(a) of the
                  Agreement, (b) other than a sale to CBI and/or its Affiliates
                  pursuant to Sections 7.4(c) and (d) of the Agreement, or (c) a
                  sale or disposition required by a regulatory or governmental

                  shorten the time periods in Article 7 (pro rata among the
                  various time periods unless mutually agreed otherwise by the
                  parties) to allow the sale or disposition to occur as required
                  by the regulatory or governmental authority.

6. All other terms and conditions of the Agreement in all other respects remain
unmodified and in full force and effect.
