representations and warranties set forth in this Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, Lender agrees to make Loans to the Borrower from time to
time during the Commitment Period in a principal amount not to exceed, at any
time outstanding, the Loan Commitment Amount. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall Lender be required to make
Loans to Borrower where such Loans would violate any covenants,
representations, warranties, or other terms and conditions of any Lender
Credit Facility.

     2.2 Procedure for Borrowing.

          a. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Credit Agreement,
the
Lender shall advance to Borrower the amount of any Loan requested by
Borrower to pay for the
costs of acquiring Licenses for which Borrower is the Successful Bidder up
to the Loan
Commitment Amount. Borrower shall use the proceeds of any Loan made
pursuant to this
Section 2.2(a) for the purpose of timely making any such payments in
accordance with FCC
Rules.

          b. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Credit Agreement,
after
the Borrower is designated by the FCC by a Public Notice as the high bidder
on any license or
licenses offered for sale in Auction No.58, the Borrower or any Holding
Subsidiary may from
time to time, but no more than once each quarter, borrow any undrawn
portion of the Loan
Commitment Amount under this Credit Agreement during the Commitment Period
by giving
notice to the Lender specifying the amount to be borrowed and the purpose
therefore. Any Loan
made pursuant to this Section 2.2(b) may be used only for (i) the Build-Out
and operation of the
Royal Street System, or (ii) for any expenses related thereto, as
contemplated by the LLC
Agreement and the Services Agreement. Lender shall advance to Borrower
or Holding
Subsidiary, as the case may be, (i) up to Twenty-Five Million Dollars
($25,000,000) once each
quarter until the designation of Borrower as the Successful Bidder on the
Licenses; and, (ii) after
the Licenses are granted to Borrower by the FCC, the amount of any Loan
requested by
Borrower or Holding Subsidiary up to the amount budgeted in Borrower’s
Annual Budget for the
succeeding three (3) month period in immediately available funds within
five (5) Business Days
following the date of such written request, provided that Borrower or
Holding Subsidiary, as the
case may be, shall have delivered to Lender evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Lender that the
proceeds of such Loan will be applied in accordance with the LLC Agreement.
No Loan shall be
made to Borrower or Holding Subsidiary if the making of such Loan would
cause the aggregate
principal amount outstanding hereunder to exceed the Loan Commitment Amount
or violate the
Lender Credit Facility. Each Loan made hereunder, including each Loan
made pursuant to
Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b) hereof, shall be deemed to be part of, borrowed
and drawn under, and
subject to the terms of, the Note.

-8-

 

          c. The Lender’s obligation to make Loans to Borrower shall
terminate upon the
earliest to occur of (i) expiration of the Commitment Period, (ii) the

premium or penalty, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ advance notice
to Lender, specifying
the date and amount of prepayment. If any such notice is given, the
amount specified in such
notice, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on
the amount prepaid, shall
be due and payable on the date specified therein. Amounts prepaid or
repaid may not be
reborrowed. Partial or total prepayments of the Loans shall be credited
first to any charges or
other amounts due to Lender under the terms of this Credit Agreement, then
to accrued interest
due and payable on the Loans, then to the principal balance outstanding.

          e. Within three (3) Business Days after the Mandatory Prepayment Date,
Borrower shall prepay to Lender the entire principal amount of the Loans.
Borrower shall have
no obligation to pay any unpaid accrued interest on the Mandatory
Prepayment Date.

          f. Within three (3) Business Days after the Refund Date, Borrower shall
prepay
to Lender the entire amount of any Refund, up to the aggregate principal
amount of all Loans
previously made to Borrower hereunder.

          g. In the event that Borrower receives a Refund from the FCC with respect
to the
Auction, Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such
Refund, make a
prepayment under this Credit Agreement in an amount equal the principal
amount of the Loans
outstanding under this Credit Agreement as of such date less the aggregate
amount of payments
already made and still owed to the FCC with respect the Licenses for which
Borrower was a
Successful Bidder.

     2.3 Interest Rates and Payments.

          a. Interest shall accrue on the aggregate principal balance from time to
time
outstanding hereunder at a rate equal to 11% per annum, compounded

number of days elapsed.

shall
be made to the Lender, at its address as set forth in Section 7.10 in
immediately available funds
on the date on which such payment shall be due.

          c. Until the Loan Repayment Commencement Date, all interest accrued on the
aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall be added to and
become a part of the
outstanding principal amount of the Loans on and as of the last day of
each calendar quarter.

          d. Commencing on the Loan Repayment Commencement Date, Borrower shall
make equal monthly consecutive payments to Lender in an amount sufficient

other Loan Documents from such date until the Maturity Date.

maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) for five (5) days or more, such
overdue amount shall accrue interest from the earlier of the due date of such

(whether after or before judgment).

thereof, without the consent of Borrower, provided that such assignee of
Lender agrees to be bound by all of the terms hereof. No such permitted

foregoing, Borrower may assign its rights and obligations under this Credit
Agreement to any Holding Subsidiary. This Credit Agreement shall be binding
upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
heirs or successors in interest.

from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, judgments and

this Credit Agreement shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Credit Agreement.

     7.5 Highest Lawful Rate.

     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the
Borrower on the Note shall be subject to the limitation that payments of
interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed
hereunder, to the extent that contracting for or receipt thereof would be
contrary to provisions of any law applicable to the Lender limiting the
highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or
received by the Lender.

     7.6 Counterparts.

     This Credit Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each

contained herein of the other Party or in any document delivered pursuant

in writing signed on behalf of such party. No waiver by Lender in any one case
shall require the Lender to give any subsequent waiver.

     7.8 Payments on Business Days.

     Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be
stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment may be made
on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in such
case be included in computing interest, if any, in connection with such

together with interest on the unpaid principal balance, at the rate of 11% per annum, compounded
quarterly commencing on the last day of the first calendar quarter following the Effective Date.
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year with three hundred sixty (360) days, and the

given to them in the Credit Agreement.

     2. Payments. Payments of interest and principal shall be due and payable at such
times and in such amounts as set forth in the Credit Agreement. All payments made hereunder shall
be made in lawful tender of the United States in immediately available funds on the date on which

     a. The failure by Borrower to pay any amount when due under
this Note, which failure shall remain uncured for a period of five (5)
days after delivery of written notice of such failure; or

     b. The occurrence of an “Event of Default” as defined in the Credit
Agreement.

     5. Rights of Holder Upon Default. Upon the occurrence or
existence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter during the
continuance of such Event of Default, Holder may declare the entire principal
sum of this Note, together with all unpaid accrued interest thereon, and all
unpaid fees, charges, costs and expenses, if any, owed by Borrower to Holder
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, to be immediately due and
payable. In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence or
existence of any Event of Default, Holder may exercise any other right, power
or remedy permitted to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law,
or both.

     6. Prepayment.

     a. Prepayment. Upon compliance with Section 6(b) below,
the Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to

three Business Days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment
specifying (a) the date of prepayment, and (b) the principal amount to be
prepaid on such date. Notice of prepayment having been so given, the
principal amount of this Note to be prepaid as specified in the notice,
together with accrued interest thereon shall become due and payable on

lien and security interest on Borrower’s assets.

     8. Waivers and Rights of Holder. Except as may be otherwise

presentment for payment, protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of protest,
notice of dishonor, and any and all exemption rights which it holds at law or
in equity with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and (ii)
agrees that enforcement by Holder of any security for the performance of the
terms of this Note shall not constitute an election by it of remedies so as to
preclude the exercise of any other remedy available to it.

     9. Default Rate. As long as any payment due under this
Note remains past due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) for five (5) days or more, interest under this Note shall accrue on

Event of Default, Borrower shall pay, on demand, all reasonable costs and
expenses of collection of this Note (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees), whether or not any suit or other legal proceedings shall be
instituted.

     11. Rights Cumulative. All rights and remedies of Holder under this
Note, under any security given to secure Borrower’s performance of the terms of
this Note (including, without limitation, the Security Agreement) and under
applicable law, are cumulative and not alternative. Failure of Holder at any
time to exercise any such rights or remedies shall neither constitute a waiver
of such rights or remedies nor bar the future exercise of any such rights or
remedies.

     12. No Usury. In the event that any payment under this Note shall
exceed the amount permitted by applicable law, such payment shall be reduced to
the maximum amount permitted by law and the excess shall be applied in reduction
of the principal amount of this Note. In the event that any such excess exceeds
the principal amount, the amount of such excess over the principal amount shall
be refunded to Borrower.

     13. Business Day. In the event that the date for performance of
any obligation under this Note falls on other than a Business Day, then such
obligation shall be performed on the next succeeding business day.

     14. Successors and Assigns. The rights and obligations of the
Borrower and the Holder of this Note shall be binding upon and benefit the
successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and permitted transferees of the
parties.

Holder relating to the subject matter hereof. No amendment, modification,

the Credit Agreement, neither this Note nor any of the rights, interests or
obligations hereunder may be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in
whole or in part, by the Borrower, without the prior written consent of the
Holder.

unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision hereof.

all payments and prepayments of the principal hereof and interest hereon and
the respective dates thereof shall be maintained by the Lender, and such
records shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding.

     21. Governing Law. This Note and all actions arising out of or in
connection with this Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of that

     f. all other property owned by the Grantor or in which the Grantor
has or hereafter acquires any interest, wherever located, and of whatever
kind or nature, tangible or intangible, excluding, except to the extent
set forth in clause j below, any Licenses now or hereafter issued by the
FCC;

     g. all insurance policies of any kind maintained in effect by the
Grantor, now existing or hereafter acquired, under which any of the
property referred to in clauses (a) through (f) above is insured,
including but not limited to, any proceeds payable to the Grantor pursuant
to such policies;

     h. all monies, cash collateral, chattel paper, checks, notes,
bills of exchange, documents of title, money orders, negotiable
instruments, commercial paper, and other securities, instruments,
documents, deposit accounts, deposits and credits from time to time
whether or not in the possession of or under the control of the Lender;

     i. any consideration received when all or any part of the property
referred to in clauses (a) through (h) above is sold, transferred,
exchanged, leased, collected or otherwise disposed of, or any value
received as a consequence of possession thereof, including but not
limited to, all products, proceeds (including all “Proceeds” as defined
in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Code), cash, negotiable instruments and
other instruments for the payment of money, chattel paper, security
agreements or other documents, insurance proceeds or proceeds of other
proceeds now or hereafter owned by the Grantor or in which the Grantor

     j. all “Proceeds” as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Code of
all Licenses now or hereafter issued by the Federal Communications
Commission or any successor thereto, and solely to the extent if any
permitted by Applicable Law, all such licenses and permits.

     The property set forth in clauses (a) through (j) of the preceding
sentence, together with property of a similar nature which the Grantor
hereafter owns or in which the Grantor hereafter acquires any interest, is
referred to herein as the “Collateral.”

     2. Representations and Warranties. The Grantor represents,
warrants and agrees that:

     a. Grantor has and shall have good and marketable title to all the
Collateral, wherever and whenever acquired, free and clear of any lien
except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, and the Grantor has not
filed, nor is there on record, a financing statement under the Code (or
similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any
jurisdiction) covering any Collateral except as permitted by the Credit
Agreement;

     b. Grantor has the requisite limited liability company power and
authority and legal right to pledge the Collateral to Lender as provided
herein;

-3-

 

     c. Grantor has paid when due all taxes, fees, assessments and other charges
now or hereafter imposed upon the Collateral except for any tax, fee,
assessment or other charge the validity of which is being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings and which may not result in any
material impairment of the lien of the Lender on such Collateral and,
except for any tax, fee, assessment or other charges assessed
subsequent to the Lender’s foreclosure on such Collateral pursuant to
the Loan Documents;

     d. as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the filing of any financing statements or other documents necessary to
assure, preserve and perfect the security interest created hereby, and
except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Lender shall have a
valid, perfected, enforceable lien on, and a continuing security interest
in, the Collateral, enforceable and superior, subject to Permitted Liens,
as such as against creditors and purchasers (other than purchasers of
Inventory in the ordinary course of business) and as against any owner of
real property where any of the equipment or Inventory is located and as
against any purchaser of such real property and any present or future
creditor obtaining a mortgage or other lien on such real property, and
such lien shall be superior and prior to all other liens on the
Collateral;

     e. the chief executive office of the Grantor is at PO Box 2365,
Southampton, New York 11969, and the Grantor maintains its books of
account and records only at such address; and

     f. none of the Collateral is held by a third party in any location as
assignee, trustee, bailee, consignee or in any similar capacity.

All representations, warranties and agreements of the Grantor contained in
this Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13
hereof.

     3. Covenants. The Grantor hereby covenants to and agrees with the
Lender that so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect or any
Obligations shall remain unpaid or unperformed:

     a. The Grantor shall promptly give written notice to the Lender of
any levy or attachment, execution or other process against any of the
Collateral;

     b. The Grantor at its sole cost and expense shall take any and all
actions reasonably necessary or desirable to defend the Collateral against
the claims and demands of all persons other than the Lender and holders of
adverse liens permitted by the Credit Agreement and to defend the security
interest of the Lender in the Collateral and the priority thereof against
any adverse lien of any nature not permitted by the Credit Agreement;

     c. The Grantor shall keep all tangible Collateral properly insured in
the manner and form required under the Credit Agreement and in good order
and repair (normal wear and tear excepted) and promptly notify the Lender
of any event causing any material loss, damage or depreciation in value of
the Collateral and of the extent of such loss, damage or depreciation;

-4-

 

     d. The Grantor shall mark any Collateral that is chattel paper with a
legend showing the Lender’s lien and security interest therein;

     e. The Grantor shall not (i) amend or terminate any contract or other
document or instrument constituting part of the Collateral, except for
transactions in the ordinary course of business substantially consistent
with industry practice; or (ii) voluntarily or involuntarily exchange,
lease, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Collateral, except as
otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement;

     f. The Grantor at all times shall keep accurate and complete records
of the Collateral and, upon the reasonable request of the Lender, shall
furnish the Lender a schedule or schedules, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, describing such Collateral as the
Lender may require;

     g. The Lender, or any of its agents, shall have the right to call at
the Grantor’s place or places of business during normal business hours at
intervals to be determined by the Lender and without hindrance or delay
after notice to the Grantor, to inspect the Collateral and to inspect,
audit, verify, check and make extracts from the books, records, journals,
orders, receipts, correspondence and other data relating to the
Collateral;

     h. If any of the Accounts or General Intangibles of the Grantor
arise out of contracts with the United States or any department, agency
or instrumentality thereof, the Grantor shall promptly notify the Lender
in writing and execute any instruments and take any steps required by
the Lender in order that all monies due and to become due under such
contracts shall be assigned to the Lender and notice thereof given to
the United States Government under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act;

     i. Without the prior written consent of the Lender or except as
otherwise permitted by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement, the
Grantor will not (1) pledge, assign or grant a security interest in any
of the Collateral to anyone except the Lender, (2) permit any lien or
encumbrance to attach to any of the Collateral, (3) permit any levy to
be made on the Collateral or (4) permit any financing statement (except
any financing statements executed by Grantor for the benefit of Lender
as secured party) to be on file with respect to any Collateral;
provided, however, that in the event that Lender or its
Affiliates are in breach under the Credit Agreement or the Equipment and
Facilities Lease Agreement, then Borrower shall be permitted to purchase
equipment from a third party seller and to issue such third party seller
a first priority purchase money security interest solely in the acquired
equipment;

     j. The Grantor shall pay and discharge when due all taxes, levies
and other charges on the Collateral, unless such tax, levy or other
charge is being contested in good faith and with respect to which
adequate reserves (as determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles) have been established and are being maintained
and unless such tax, levy or other charge is assessed subsequent to the
Lender’s foreclosure on such Collateral pursuant to the Loan Documents;

-5-

 

     k. If any Inventory or Equipment shall become in the possession or
control of any third party, the Grantor shall notify such third party of
the security interest created hereby and instruct such third party to
hold such Inventory and Equipment for the Lender’s account and subject
to the Lender’s instructions. If any Collateral is subject to a
certificate of title at any time, the Grantor shall deliver such
certificate of title to the Lender together with such documents as shall
be necessary to cause the security interest of the Lender to be noted
thereon;

     l. If at any time Grantor shall receive any shares of stock or
stock certificates, or any other instruments evidencing Securities,
Grantor shall promptly deliver any such instruments to Lender as
additional security for the Obligations, all of which additional
security shall constitute Collateral. With respect to any Collateral
that is an “uncertificated security” for purposes of the Code (other
than any “uncertificated securities” credited to a Securities Account
under the control of the Lender), Grantor shall cause the issuer of such
uncertificated security to either (i) register the Lender as the
registered owner thereof on the books and records of the issuer or (ii)
execute an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender
pursuant to which such issuer agrees to comply with the Lender’s
instructions with respect to such uncertificated security without
further consent by such Grantor; or

     m. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, any dividends or other distributions received by Grantor on
account of the Collateral shall be held in trust by Grantor for the
benefit of the Lender, and Grantor shall immediately notify Lender in
writing, and shall, if Lender so instructs, immediately pay over such
dividends or other distributions to Lender as Collateral.

     4. Events
of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an
“Event of Default” hereunder:

     a. The occurrence of a default or an “Event of Default” under the
Note or the Credit Agreement; or

     b. [Intentionally Removed].

     5. Remedies
Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, after any applicable cure period, and at
any time thereafter, Lender may (but shall not be required to) take any or all
of the following actions simultaneously or in any order which it may choose:

     a. The Lender may from time to time take whatever action at law or
in equity may appear necessary or desirable in order to collect the
monies payable hereunder or secured hereby or to enforce performance and
observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant hereunder.

     b. The Lender may foreclose its security interest in any of the
Collateral in any way permitted by law; and the Lender may thereupon, or
at any time thereafter, in its sole discretion, without notice or demand
(except such notice as may be specifically required by law) and with or
without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale,

-6-

 

sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at one
or more public or private sales, at any time or place, at such price or
prices and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery,
as the Lender may elect. In the exercise of such remedy, the Lender may
sell all of the Collateral as a unit even though the sales price thereof
may be in excess of the amounts remaining unpaid on the Obligations. To
the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, the Lender is authorized at
any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, if it deems it
advisable so to do, to restrict (with respect to any Securities that are
part of the Collateral) the prospective bidders or purchasers thereof to
persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their
own account for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or
resale of any of the Collateral. At any such public sale the Lender may
bid for and become the purchaser of all or any part of the Collateral,
and such sale or sales may be held without demand of performance, notice
of intention to sell, the time or place of sale or any other matter,
except for such notice as may be specifically required by law; and the
purchaser at any such sale or other disposition shall thereafter hold
the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of the
Grantor of whatsoever kind, including any right of redemption of the
Grantor, all such rights being hereby expressly waived and released by
the Grantor to the extent permitted by law.

     c. The Lender may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to
foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof
pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent
jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.
The Grantor hereby assents to the passage of a decree for the sale of any
of the Collateral by any court having jurisdiction. In any action
hereunder, the Lender shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver
without notice, to peaceably take possession of all or any portion of the
Collateral and to exercise such powers as the court shall confer upon the
receiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, the Lender shall be entitled to apply, without
notice to the Grantor, any cash or cash items constituting Collateral in
its possession to payment of the Obligations.

     d. Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to apply for
and have a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction in any
action taken by Lender to enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in
order to manage, protect and preserve the Collateral and continue the
operation of the business of Grantor and to collect all revenues and
profits thereof and apply the same to the payment of all expenses and
other charges of such receivership, including but not limited to the
compensation of the receiver, until a sale or other disposition of such
Collateral shall be finally made and consummated. Lender and Grantor
acknowledge and agree that in connection with any exercise by the Lender
of its rights hereunder to dispose of or operate under certain of the
Collateral, it may be necessary to obtain the prior consent or approval of
certain governmental authorities. Upon the exercise by Lender of any
power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to this Agreement which
requires any consent or approval of any governmental authority, Grantor
will execute and deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all
applications, certificates and other documents which may reasonably be
required to obtain such approval or consent. Grantor shall cooperate in
good faith with Lender and any purchaser of the Collateral in obtaining
any such approvals or consents.

-7-

 

     e. The Grantor hereby authorizes and empowers the Lender to sell its
interest in the Collateral in accordance with any Applicable Law. Such
Collateral or any interest therein may be sold upon such terms and in as
many lots as the person conducting the sale may, in his sole discretion,
elect. No readvertisements of any sale shall be required if the sale is
adjourned by announcement, at the time or place set therefor, of the date,
time or place to which the same is to be adjourned.

     f. The Lender may, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law,
exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange or subscription and
any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the
Collateral, as if the Lender were the absolute owner thereof, including
(without limitation) the right to exchange, at its discretion, any and all
of the Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization or other readjustment of any subsidiary of Grantor.

     g. The Lender may take possession of the Collateral pursuant hereto
without legal process and without incurring liability to the Grantor
therefor for the purpose of exercising its rights hereunder.

     h. The Lender may (1) notify all or any of the makers, account
debtors or any person obligated to the Grantor for any amount with
respect to an Account or General Intangible (collectively, the
“obligors” and individually, an obligor”) that the Accounts and the
General Intangibles have been assigned to the Lender and to request
confirmation from any obligor of the amount shown by the Accounts or the
General Intangibles to be payable or any other matter stated therein or
relating thereto, and such notices may be given by the Lender in its own
name or in the name of the Grantor; (2) demand, collect or compromise
for any and all sums that are now or may hereafter become due or owing
on any Account or General Intangible; (3) enforce payment of any Account
or General Intangible either in its own name or in the name of the
Grantor; and (4) endorse in the name of the Grantor, and to collect, any
instruments tendered or received in payment of any Account or General
Intangible. The Lender under no circumstances shall be under any duty to
act in regard to any of the foregoing matters. The Grantor appoints the
Lender, and any officer or employee of the Lender as the Lender from
time to time may designate, as attorneys-in-fact for the Grantor, to
sign and endorse in the name of the Grantor, to give notices in the name
of the Grantor and to perform all other actions necessary or desirable
in the reasonable discretion of the Lender to effect these provisions
and carry out the intent hereof. This power, being coupled with an
interest, is irrevocable so long as any Account or General Intangible
assigned to the Lender remains unpaid and this Agreement has not been
terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.

     i. At the option of the Lender, the Grantor agrees that, upon
receipt of all checks, drafts, cash and other remittances in payment or
on account of the Accounts or the General Intangibles (collectively,
the “payments” and individually, a “payment”), the Grantor will deposit
the same in a special bank account designated by Lender, over which the
Lender has the exclusive right of withdrawal, and will designate with
each such deposit the particular Account or General Intangible upon
which the payment was made. The funds in such special account shall be
held by the Lender as security for the Obligations. The payments shall
be deposited in precisely the form received except for

-8-

 

the endorsement of the Grantor where necessary to permit collection of
such items, which endorsement the Grantor agrees to make, and which the
Lender is authorized to make on the Grantor’s behalf. Pending such
deposit, the Grantor agrees that it will not commingle any payments with
any of the Grantor’s funds or property, but will hold them separate and
apart therefrom and upon an express trust for the Lender until deposit
thereof is made in the special account. The Lender, at any time and from
time to time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, in its sole
discretion, may apply any part of the credit balance in the special
account to the payment of the Obligations.

     j. The Lender may exercise any other right or remedy with respect
to any of the Collateral given to secured parties under the applicable
Code or other Applicable Law.

     k. Any notification required by Section 9-611 of the Code shall be
deemed reasonably and properly given if mailed, certified or registered
mail, postage prepaid, to the Grantor, at least ten (10) days before any
sale or disposition of any of the Collateral which is subject to the
Code. Any advertisement of the sale or other disposition of such
Collateral shall be deemed to be reasonable if such advertisement is
placed in a newspaper of general circulation in or about the location of
the chief executive offices or principal place of business of Grantor or
the location of the sale at least once in each of the two (2) calendar
weeks immediately preceding the sale.

     l. At the request of Lender, the Grantor shall deliver to the
Lender all original and other documents evidencing and relating to the
sale and delivery of Inventory or Accounts, including but not limited
to, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts. The Grantor
shall also furnish to the Lender, promptly upon the request of the
Lender, such reports, reconciliations and aging balances regarding
Accounts as the Lender may request from time to time.

     All of Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder, under the Note and under
any of the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and
shall be enforceable alternatively, successively or concurrently as Lender
may, in its sole discretion, deem expedient. Lender shall have no obligation
to preserve rights in the Collateral or marshal any of the Collateral for the
benefit of any person or entity. The Obligations are recourse obligations.
Accordingly, the exercise of Lender’s remedies hereunder, or any of them,
including, without limitation, foreclosure on the Collateral, shall not result
in a satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations or otherwise limit Lender’s
ability to exercise its other remedies hereunder.

     6. Application
of Proceeds. Any proceeds received from the
exercise of any remedy hereunder, after deducting therefrom any and all costs
and expenses reasonably incurred in securing possession of any Collateral, in
shipping and storing the Collateral, in preparing the Collateral for sale or
otherwise dealing with Collateral prior to any sale or other disposition
thereof and in connection with the sale or other disposition thereof
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees
and brokers’ commissions), shall be applied toward the payment of any and all
amounts due under or with respect to the Obligations, including interest, and
all other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Lender in connection
with this Agreement which are then due and payable, in such order and amounts
as the Lender, in its

-9-

 

sole discretion, may elect. If such net proceeds should be insufficient
to pay all of the amounts due under or with respect to the Obligations,
including interest, that are due and payable and all such other costs and
expenses reasonably incurred by the Lender, and a deficiency shall result,
the Grantor shall nevertheless remain liable for such deficiency; and if such
net proceeds should be more than sufficient to pay the same, such surplus
shall be accounted for and, if any Obligations remain outstanding but are not
yet due and payable, retained by the Lender, who shall hold the same as
security for the Obligations; and if no Obligations remain outstanding, such
surplus shall be paid over to the Grantor or whomever a court of competent
jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto.

     7. Powers of Attorney. The Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints
the Lender (and any officer or agent of the Lender) as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution for and in the name of the Lender
or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Lender, effective upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and to the extent
not prohibited by Applicable Law: (i) to receive, endorse the name of the
Grantor upon and deliver any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders
or other evidences of payment that may come into the possession of the Lender
with respect to the Collateral; (ii) to cause the Grantor’s mail to be
transferred to the Lender’s own offices and to receive and open all mail
addressed to the Grantor for the purposes of removing any such notes,
acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment; (iii)
to demand, collect and receive payment in respect of the Collateral and to
apply any such payments directly to the payment of the Obligations; (iv) to
receive and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (v)
to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or
in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction, to collect or otherwise
realize on all or any part of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in
respect thereof; (vi) to sign the name of the Grantor on any invoice or bill
of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (vii) to send verification of any
Accounts to any account debtor or customer; (viii) to notify any account
debtor or other obligor of the company with respect to any Collateral to make
payment to the Lender; (ix) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend
any actions, suits or proceedings relating or pertaining to all or any of the
Collateral; (x) to take any action for purposes of carrying out of the terms
of this Agreement; (xi) to enforce all of the Grantor’s rights and powers
under and pursuant to any and all agreements with respect to the Collateral;
and (xii) generally to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with
respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all
other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement, as fully and
completely as though the Lender were the absolute owner of the Collateral for
all purposes; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be
construed as requiring or obligating the Lender to make any commitment or to
make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by
the Lender, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action
with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to
become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby, and no action
taken by the Lender or omitted to be taken with respect to the Collateral or
any part thereof shall give rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in
favor of the Grantor or to any claim or action against the Lender. It is
understood and agreed that the power of attorney granted to the Lender for the
purposes set forth above in this Section 7 is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable and the Grantor hereby ratifies all actions taken by its
attorney-in-fact by virtue hereof. The provisions of this Section 7 shall in
no event relieve the Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under any
of the other Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof
or impose any obligation on the Lender to proceed in

-10-

 

any particular manner with respect to the Collateral or any part
thereof, or in any way limit the exercise by the Lender of any other or
further right which it may have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter,
whether hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents, by law or otherwise.

     8. Collateral Reserve Account. If requested by the Lender to do so
on or at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and during its
continuance, Grantor shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Lender or
its designee a demand deposit account for the concentration and collection of
proceeds of certain Collateral (the “Collateral Reserve Account”) into which the
Grantor shall transfer and deliver all cash, checks, drafts, items and other
instruments for the payment of money which it now has or may at any time
hereafter receive in full or partial payment for the Collateral or otherwise as
proceeds of the Collateral and, pending such transfer and delivery, Grantor
shall be deemed to hold same in trust for the benefit of the Lender. Grantor
shall not be entitled to withdraw funds on deposit in the Collateral Reserve
Account after its inception without the prior written consent of the Lender;
provided, however, that, at any time during which collected funds exist on
deposit in the Collateral Reserve Account, the Lender may withdraw such
deposits, or any portion thereof, therefrom, for application against the
Obligations in such manner as the Lender, in its sole discretion, may determine.

     9. Collections. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, the Lender may, in its sole discretion, in its name or in
the name of the Grantor, or otherwise, (a) demand, sue for, collect or receive
any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in
exchange for, or make any compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect
to any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so, or (b)
extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise
modify the term of, or release, any of the Collateral, without thereby incurring
responsibility to, or discharging or otherwise affecting any liability of, the
Grantor, other than to discharge the Grantor in so doing with respect to
liabilities of the Grantor to the extent that the liabilities are paid or
repaid. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
any money, checks, notes, bills, drafts, or commercial paper received by the
Grantor shall be held in trust for the Lender and any other Lender having rights
thereto senior to the Lender and shall be promptly turned over to the Lender or
any other Lender having rights thereto senior to the Lender as their interest
shall appear. The Lender may make such payments and take such actions as the
Lender, in its sole discretion, deem necessary to protect its security interest
in the Collateral or the value thereof, and the Lender is hereby unconditionally
and irrevocably authorized (without limiting the general nature of the authority
hereinabove conferred) to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any liens which
in the judgment of the Lender appear to be equal to, prior to or superior to its
security interest in the Collateral and any liens not expressly permitted by
this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

     10. Expenses. The Grantor shall pay, when due, any and all
reasonable fees, taxes or (other than taxes based on the income of Lender) other
charges imposed in connection with the granting of the security interests
hereunder including, without limitation, any fees imposed in connection with
recordation of instruments necessary or desirable in order to reflect,
effectuate or release such security interests.

-11-

 

     11. Notices. All notices and other communications given to or made
upon any party hereto in connection with this Agreement shall, except as
otherwise expressly herein provided, be in writing and mailed via certified
mail, sent by Federal Express or other similar express delivery service for next
day delivery, faxed (with a confirming copy sent by such a express delivery
service for next day delivery) or hand delivered to the respective parties to
their respective addresses set forth or referenced in Section 7.10 of the Credit
Agreement, or in accordance with any subsequent written direction delivered in
accordance with this section from the recipient party to the sending party. All
such notices and other communications shall, except as otherwise expressly
herein provided, be effective upon delivery if delivered by hand; in the case of
certified mail, three Business Days after the date sent; in the case of any fax,
when received; or in the case of express delivery service, the day after
delivery of the notice to such service with charges prepaid.

     12. Assignability and Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall
not be assignable by Grantor without the written consent of Lender. Lender
shall have the right to assign this Agreement without Grantor’s consent to any
person at Lender’s sole discretion, including to Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. or any
Affiliate thereof. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

     13. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and the Security
Interest shall be released upon the earliest to occur of (i) the payment and
satisfaction in full of the Note and all of the Obligations relating to the
Note; or (ii) the mutual agreement of Grantor and Lender.

     14. Certain Waivers; Grantor Not Discharged. The Grantor
expressly and irrevocably waives (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law)
presentment, demand of payment and protest of nonpayment in respect of its
Obligations under this Agreement. The obligations and duties of the Grantor
hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, and unconditional and shall not be
discharged, impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of the Lender to
assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Grantor
or any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction in
respect thereof, (b) any extension or renewal of any part of the Obligations,
(c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or
provisions of the Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, (d) the release
of any liens on or security interests in any part of the Collateral or the
release, sale or exchange of or failure to foreclose against any security held
by or for the benefit of the Lender for payment or performance of the
Obligations, (e) the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Grantor or
any grantee or any other persons, (f) the invalidity or unenforceability of the
Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, (g) any change, restructuring or
termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Grantor or any
grantee or any restructuring or refinancing of all or any portion of the
Obligations, or (h) any other event which under law would discharge the
obligations of a surety.

     15. Transfer of Security Interest. The Lender may transfer to any
other person all or any part of the liens and security interests granted hereby,
and all, or any part of the Collateral which may be in the Lender’s possession
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or, if to
a successor Lender in accordance with the Credit Agreement, at any time. Upon
such transfer, the transferee shall be vested with all the rights and powers of
the Lender hereunder with respect to such of the Collateral as is so

Lender may, at any time, assign all or any portion of its rights as the Lender
hereunder to any person in the Lender’s discretion, including without
limitation Bear Stearns & Co. Inc. or any Affiliate thereof, and upon notice
to the Grantor, but without any requirement for consent or approval by or from
Grantor, and any such assignment shall be valid and binding upon the Grantor,

all reasonable costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees
and expenses, arising from this Agreement or the exercise of any right or remedy
granted to the Lender hereunder, except to the extent such claims arise out of
Lender’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud. In no event shall the
Lender be liable for any matter or thing in connection with this Agreement other
than to account for moneys actually received by the Lender in accordance with
the terms hereof. All indemnities contained in this Section 16 and elsewhere in

Agreement.

     17. No Liability for Collateral. Beyond the exercise of
reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral, the Lender shall not, under
any circumstance or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any part of
the Collateral, nor shall the Lender have any liability for any error or
omission or delivery of any kind incurred in the good faith settlement,
collection or payment of any of the Collateral or any monies received in payment
therefor or for any damages resulting therefrom, nor shall this Agreement impose
upon the Lender any obligation to perform any obligation with respect to the
Collateral. The costs of collection, notification and enforcement, including
but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses, shall be borne
solely by the Grantor, whether the same are incurred by the Grantor or the

Obligations covered by this Agreement shall include any future advances under or

enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remainder of
this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, unless the
parties otherwise so provide.

the Existing Security Agreement shall be superseded by the terms and provisions
of this Agreement. The Grantor hereby agrees that (i) the liens and security
interest granted by Grantor under the Original Security Agreement and the

securing the indebtedness, Obligations, borrowings, advances and liabilities
under the Credit Agreement and shall remain outstanding and governed by this
Agreement, and shall not constitute a novation, and (ii) all liens and security
interests securing the indebtedness, Obligations, borrowings, advances and
liabilities under the Original Agreement and the Existing Credit Agreement shall

EXHIBIT E

FORM OF WAIVER AND CONSENT

     THIS WAIVER AND CONSENT (“Consent”), made and entered into this              
        day of        
               
                
  , by and between          
              
                
  a              
               
             (“Landlord”) and
METROPCS WIRELESS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Lender”).

BACKGROUND:

     A. Landlord is the owner of the land and improvements described on Exhibit
A attached hereto (the “Premises”).

     B. Landlord has leased the Premises to              
               
             (“Tenant”) pursuant to that
certain Lease dated by              
               
             and between Landlord and Tenant (as such lease may
be amended from time to time the “Lease”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

     C. Lender has made or may make loans to Tenant for the purpose of financing Tenant’s
business, including the acquisition by Tenant of certain telecommunications equipment (the
“Equipment”), which constitutes the personal property of the Tenant and which the Tenant may
remove under the terms of the Lease to the extent permitted thereunder. The Equipment may be
located on the Premises. The portion of the Equipment that Tenant may remove under the Lease
is hereinafter referred to as the “Removable Collateral”.

     D. Lender has required, among other things, that Tenant grant to Lender
security interests in the Equipment, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, a portion of
which is and may hereafter be located on or about the Premises, and that Tenant execute a
leasehold mortgage, conveying to Lender Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises as
collateral for the loans to be made by Lender to Tenant.

     NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord and Lender hereby agree as follows:

     1. Landlord hereby consents to Tenant’s granting to Lender a lien on Tenant’s leasehold
interest in the Premises and executing a leasehold mortgage, leasehold deed of trust,
or collateral assignment of lease in favor of Lender (the “Leasehold Mortgage”).

     2. Landlord consents to Tenant’s granting Lender a security interest in the Equipment.
Lender’s security interest and liens in that portion of the Equipment consisting of Tenant’s
nonremovable fixtures shall be subordinate to the title or interest that the Landlord may at
any time have therein. Lender’s security interests and liens in the Removable Collateral
shall be superior to any title or interest that the Landlord may at any time have therein.
During the term of this Consent, Landlord will not assert against any of the Removable
Collateral any title or any statutory, common law, contractual or possessory lien, including,
without limitation, rights of levy or distraint for rent, all of which Landlord hereby
subordinates in favor of Lender.

 

 

     3. Landlord hereby disclaims any and all right, title, interest or claim in or to
the Removable Collateral and any cash or non-cash proceeds of the Removable Collateral.
The Removable Collateral may be affixed to or used in conjunction with the Premises, but
shall remain the Tenant’s personal property and subject to Lender’s security interest and
liens. Landlord agrees not to impound or remove any of the Removable Collateral from the
Premises as long as this Consent is in effect.

     4. Landlord agrees that during the term of the Lease, Lender may conduct public
or private sales of the Equipment at the Premises and that interested parties will be
permitted access to the Premises during normal business hours, with reasonable advance notice
to Landlord, for the purpose of inspecting the Equipment prior to any such sale and for the
purpose of removing the Removable Collateral from the Premises.

     5. Landlord agrees that during the 60-day period following expiration of the
Lease, Lender may, at its discretion, remove, sell or otherwise dispose of the Removable
Collateral as Lender may elect, as long as Landlord shall have received all payments to which
it is entitled under the Lease. Any Removable Collateral still located in the building at the
end of the 60-day period shall be deemed to have been abandoned by the Lender (or by the
purchaser of the same at any public or private sale), and shall no longer be subject to the
Lender’s security interest and lien.

     6. In the event that Tenant defaults in its obligations under the Lease, Landlord hereby
agrees to give Lender written notice of default under the Lease, at the same time and in the
same manner as such notice is given to Tenant and further agrees that Lender may, but
shall not be obligated to, cure such defaults, at its option, within the applicable notice
and cure periods and/or assume the Lease in place of Tenant. Unless and until Lender
expressly notifies Landlord of Lender’s assumption of the Lease to the exclusion of Tenant,
Lender assumes no duty, liability or obligation whatsoever under the Lease.

     7. Lender shall have no obligations under the Lease unless and until Lender delivers to
Landlord written notice of assumption, if Lender elects to assume the Lease. Upon delivery
of such written notice of assumption to Landlord, then Lender (or its designee) shall be
entitled to all rights and benefits of the Lease, and shall be obligated for all of Tenant’s
obligations thereunder. Landlord agrees that, in the event that a default occurs under the
Leasehold Mortgage and Lender, or any agent or designee of Lender, takes possession of the
Premises or forecloses and sells Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises, Lender, and its
designees, successors, assigns or transferees shall be permitted to use the Premises for any
purpose permitted under the Lease and applicable law.

     8. Landlord agrees and acknowledges that, in the event of a default under the Leasehold
Mortgage, Lender may exercise any of the remedies contained therein and may assume or
transfer to a third party the Tenant’s interest in the Lease (including any purchase option,
access rights, utility easements and rights of way) pursuant to the terms of the
Leasehold Mortgage. Any transfer of the Lease shall be subject to Landlord’s rights under the
Lease.

-2-

 

     9. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Lease to the contrary,
all of Lender’s right, title and interest in and to the Lease and any obligations thereunder
may be assigned and transferred to an affiliate or successor of Lender without notice to
Landlord, and to other parties with notice to Landlord.

     10. The provisions of this Consent may not be modified or terminated orally, and shall
be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Landlord, and upon any successor owner or
transferee of the Premises and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Lender
and its successors and assigns.

     11. All notices shall be in writing and shall be mailed by first class registered
or certified mail, postage prepaid, as follows:

EXHIBIT F

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AGREEMENT

     THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED PLEDGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) executed on December 15,
2005 as of December 22, 2004, is entered into by and between ROYAL STREET COMMUNICATIONS, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (“Grantor”), and METROPCS WIRELESS, INC., a Delaware
corporation (“Lender”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated
as of even date herewith, by and between Grantor and Lender (as the same may be amended from time
to time, the “Credit Agreement”), Lender has agreed to make one or more loans to Grantor in
accordance with the terms therewith;

     WHEREAS, in order to induce the Lender to enter into the Credit Agreement and to continue to
make the Loans, and in consideration therefor, the Grantor has agreed to execute and deliver this
Agreement to amend and restate that certain Pledge Agreement dated as of December 22, 2004 (the
“Original Pledge Agreement”) and that certain Pledge Agreement dated as of January 24, 2005 (the
“Existing Pledge Agreement”), each between Grantor and Lender (as successor lender to Holdings),
pursuant to which Grantor has granted to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in all
of the membership or other equity interests, now owned or hereafter acquired by the Grantor or in
which the Grantor has or hereafter acquires any interest (the “Pledged Securities”), in each
Holding Subsidiary to secure Grantor’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and other Loan
Documents; and

     WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the making of any further Loans that the Grantor
execute and deliver this Agreement to, among other things, amend and restate the Original Pledge
Agreement and the Existing Pledge Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

     NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the covenants and provisions set forth herein, and
for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties agree to amend and restate the Original Pledge Agreement and the Existing Pledge
Agreement and further agree as follows:

     1. DEFINED TERMS. As used in this Agreement, capitalized terms defined in the Credit
Agreement that are not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them therein, and the
following terms shall have the following meanings:

     “Collateral” shall mean the Pledged Securities, including Pledged Securities in which the
Grantor hereafter acquires any interest, and all proceeds thereof.

 

 

     “Obligations” shall mean all indebtedness, obligations, fees and liabilities of any kind of
the Grantor to the Lender under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Note (as defined in the
Credit Agreement), this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     2. PLEDGE. Grantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably pledges,
collaterally assigns and grants to Lender a continuing lien on and security interest in and
to the Collateral (the “Security Interest”) to secure the payment and performance of the
Obligations. The Security Interest is a first priority lien on the Collateral effective as of
the date hereof without the need to execute any further instruments, agreements or documents
other than as specifically set forth herein.

     3. CONTINUING SECURITY. This Agreement shall operate as a continuing security
between Lender and Grantor:

     a. irrespective of any sum or sums which may be paid to the credit of any account
of Grantor with Lender;

     b. notwithstanding the appointment, retirement or removal, at any time, of
a receiver for Grantor;

     c. notwithstanding the exercise by Lender or a receiver of any power conferred by
this Agreement, by any other agreement or document or by law; and

     d. notwithstanding any settlement of account or any other matter or
thing whatsoever;

and shall remain in full force and effect and extend to cover all of the Obligations until a final
release of this Agreement has been executed by Lender.

     4. CERTIFICATES, VOTING, ETC. Upon execution and delivery of this Agreement,
Grantor shall deliver to Lender any and all certificates representing all of the Collateral
with a transfer executed in blank. If at any time, any Holding Subsidiary shall issue any
additional or substitute units, shares of stock, or any other instruments evidencing an
interest in or an obligation of such Holding Subsidiary to Grantor in respect of the Pledged
Securities, Grantor shall promptly pledge, mortgage and deposit with Lender such additional
certificates, instruments or documents as additional security for the Obligations, all of
which additional security shall constitute Collateral (and shall be included within the
definition of “Collateral” hereunder). With respect to any Collateral that is an
“uncertificated security” for purposes of the Code (other than any “uncertificated
securities” credited to a Securities Account under the control of the Lender), Grantor shall
cause the issuer of such uncertificated security to either (i) register the Lender as the
registered owner thereof on the books and records of the issuer or (ii) execute an agreement,
in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender pursuant to which such issuer agrees to
comply with the Lender’s instructions with respect to such uncertificated security without
further consent by such Grantor. Lender shall hold the Collateral solely as security for
the payment and performance of the Obligations. Unless an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Grantor shall have the right to vote the Collateral on all

 

 

questions on which the Collateral entitles Grantor to vote and, if necessary, upon written request
of Grantor, Lender shall execute due and timely proxies, powers of attorney and consents in favor
of Grantor as necessary to facilitate such voting; provided however, that Grantor shall not vote
the Collateral in support of any proposal or in any other manner which is inconsistent with the
terms of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or which is otherwise
inconsistent with the Grantor’s full and timely performance of the Obligations.

     5. DISTRIBUTIONS. Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, Grantor shall have the right to receive and to retain all cash dividends
and other cash distributions which are paid on account of the Collateral.

     6. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. Grantor shall not sell or otherwise dispose of,
grant any option with respect to, or create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
pledge, hypothecation, assignment, deposit arrangement, encumbrance, lien (statutory or
otherwise), preference, priority or other security agreement of any kind or nature whatsoever
on (including, without limitation, any conditional sale or other title retention agreement,
any financing or similar statement or notice filed under the Uniform Commercial Code of any
jurisdiction) all or any portion of the Collateral.

     7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Grantor hereby represents and warrants to
Lender as follows:

     a. Grantor has good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear
of all liens, claims and encumbrances, except liens granted to Lender pursuant to
this Agreement, and full power, authority and legal right to pledge such Collateral
to Lender as provided herein;

     b. The pledge, assignment and delivery of the Collateral pursuant to Section 2
will create a valid, perfected lien on and a valid perfected first priority security
interest in the Collateral in favor of Lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of
the State of New York (the “UCC”), subject to no prior lien (whether consensual,
nonconsensual, statutory or otherwise) and to no agreement purporting to grant any
third party any security interest or other interest in any of the Collateral; no
additional actions by any entity are necessary to create or perfect the Security
Interest; and

     c. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Grantor will not
(a) contravene any law, statute, rule or regulations, or any order, writ,
injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (b) conflict or be
inconsistent with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions or provisions of or constitute a default under, any indenture, credit
agreement or other agreement, contract or instrument to which Grantor is a party, or
(c) conflict or be inconsistent with or result in a breach of the terms of the
Grantor’s organizational documents.

     8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event
of Default hereunder:

 

 

     a. The occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the Credit Agreement or the
Note; or

     b. [Intentionally Removed].

     9. REMEDIES UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
after any applicable cure period, and at any time thereafter, Lender may (but shall not be
required to) take any or all of the following actions simultaneously or in any order which it may
choose:

     a. The Lender may from time to time take whatever action at law or in equity may
appear necessary or desirable in order to collect the monies payable hereunder
or secured hereby or to enforce performance and observance of any obligation,
agreement or covenant hereunder;

     b. The Lender may foreclose its security interest in any of the Collateral in any
way permitted by law; and the Lender may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in
its sole discretion, without notice or demand (except such notice as may be
specifically required by law) and with or without having the Collateral at the time or
place of sale, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at
one or more public or private sales, at any time or place, at such price or prices and
upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as the Lender may elect.
In the exercise of such remedy, the Lender may sell all of the Collateral as a unit
even though the sales price thereof may be in excess of the amounts remaining unpaid
on the Obligations. To the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, the Lender is
authorized at any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, if it deems it
advisable so to do, to restrict (with respect to any securities that are part of the
Collateral) the prospective bidders or purchasers thereof to persons who will
represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment, and
not with a view to the distribution or resale of any of the Collateral. At any such
public sale the Lender may bid for and become the purchaser of all or any part of the
Collateral, and such sale or sales may be held without demand of performance, notice
of intention to sell, the time or place of sale or any other matter, except for
such notice as may be specifically required by law; and the purchaser at any such sale
or other disposition shall thereafter hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from
any claim or right of the Grantor of whatsoever kind, including any right of
redemption of the Grantor, all such rights being hereby expressly waived and released
by the Grantor to the extent permitted by law;

     c. The Lender may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to
foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to
a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to
a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. The Grantor hereby assents to the passage
of a decree for the sale of any of the Collateral by any court having jurisdiction.
In any action hereunder, the Lender shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver
without notice, to peaceably take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral
and to exercise such powers as the court shall confer upon the receiver.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of

 

 

Default shall occur and be continuing, the Lender shall be entitled to apply, without notice to
the Grantor, any cash or cash items constituting Collateral in its possession to payment of the
Obligations;

     d. The Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to apply for and have a
receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action taken by Lender to
enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in order to manage, protect and preserve the
Collateral and continue the operation of the business of Grantor and to collect all revenues
and profits thereof and apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other charges of
such receivership, including but not limited to the compensation of the receiver, until a
sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall be finally made and consummated. Lender
and Grantor acknowledge and agree that in connection with any exercise by the Lender of its
rights hereunder to dispose of or operate under the station covered hereby, it may be
necessary to obtain the prior consent or approval of certain governmental authorities. Upon
the exercise by Lender of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to this Agreement
which requires any consent or approval of any governmental authority, Grantor will execute
and deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates and
other documents which may reasonably be required to obtain such approval or consent. Grantor
shall cooperate in good faith with Lender and any purchaser of the Collateral in obtaining
any such approvals or consents;

     e. The Lender may sell its interest hi the Collateral in accordance with any Applicable
Law. Such Collateral or any interest therein may be sold upon such terms and in as many lots
as the person conducting the sale may, in his sole discretion, elect. No readvertisements of
any sale shall be required if the sale is adjourned by announcement, at the time or place set
therefor, of the date, time or place to which the same is to be adjourned;

     f. The Lender may, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, exercise any and all
rights of conversion, exchange or subscription and any other rights, privileges or options
pertaining to any of the Collateral, as if the Lender were the absolute owner thereof,
including (without limitation) the right to exchange, at its discretion, any and all of the
Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or
other readjustment of any subsidiary of Grantor;

     g. The Lender may exercise any remedies available to a secured party under the UCC,
regardless of whether or not the UCC actually applies;

     h. The Lender may vote or otherwise exercise any rights accruing to the owner of the
Collateral without notice to or consent of Grantor;

     i. The Lender may commence and prosecute an action, at law or in equity, in any court of
competent jurisdiction, seeking money damages, injunctive or declaratory relief or any other relief
available under applicable law, and take all such actions as may be necessary or desirable to
enforce any order or judgment entered in connection with such action; and/or

 

 

     j. The Lender may exercise any other remedies afforded to Lender pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement.

     All of Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder, under the Credit Agreement and under any and
all other Loan Documents, shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and shall be enforceable

Lender shall have no obligation to preserve rights in the Collateral or marshall any of the
Collateral for the benefit of any person or entity.

     10. EXPENSES. Grantor shall pay, when due, any and all reasonable fees, taxes
or other charges imposed in connection with the Security Interest including, without
limitation, any fees imposed in connection with recordation of instruments necessary or
desirable in order to reflect, effectuate or release the Security Interest.

     11. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Any proceeds received from the exercise of any
remedy hereunder, after deducting therefrom any and all costs and expenses
reasonably incurred in securing possession of any Collateral, in shipping and storing the
Collateral, in preparing the Collateral for sale or otherwise dealing with Collateral prior
to any sale or other disposition thereof and in connection with the sale or other disposition
thereof (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and
brokers’ commissions), shall be applied toward the payment of any and all amounts due under
or with respect to the Obligations, including interest, and all other costs and expenses
reasonably incurred by the Lender in connection with this Agreement which are then due and
payable, in such order and amounts as the Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect. If
such net proceeds should be insufficient to pay the same and a deficiency shall result, the
Grantor shall nevertheless remain liable for such deficiency; and if such proceeds should be
more than sufficient to pay the same, then in case of a surplus, such surplus shall be
accounted for and, if any amounts due under the Obligations remain outstanding, retained by
the Lender, who shall hold the same as security for the payment of the Obligations;
otherwise, such surplus shall be paid over to the Grantor or to whomsoever a court of
competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto.

all or any part of the liens and security interests granted hereby, and all, or any part of
the Collateral which may be in the Lender’s possession after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default or, if to a successor Lender in accordance with the
Credit Agreement, at any time. Upon such transfer, the transferee shall be vested with all
the rights and powers of the Lender hereunder with respect to such of the Collateral as is so
transferred, but, with respect to any of the Collateral not so transferred, the Lender shall
retain all of their rights

 

 

and powers (whether given to it in this Agreement, or otherwise). The Lender may, at any
time, assign all or any portion of its rights as the Lender hereunder to any person, in the
Lender’s discretion, including without limitation Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. or any Affiliate

and hold the Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, judgments

to reimburse the Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses, including but not limited to
attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising from this Agreement or the exercise of any right or
remedy granted to the Lender hereunder, except to the extent such claims arise out of
Lender’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud. In no event shall the Lender be
liable for any matter or thing in connection with this Agreement other than to account for
moneys actually received by the Lender in accordance with the terms hereof. All indemnities
contained in this Section 17 and elsewhere in this Agreement shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Agreement.

     18. NO LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in

any liability for any error or omission or delivery of any kind incurred in the good faith
settlement, collection or payment of any of the Collateral or any monies received in payment
therefor or for any damages resulting therefrom, nor shall this Agreement impose upon the
Lender any obligation to perform any obligation with respect to the Collateral. The costs
of collection, notification and enforcement, including but not limited to, attorneys’ fees
and out-of-pocket expenses, shall be borne solely by the Grantor, whether the same are
incurred by the Grantor or the Lender.

     19. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its

of any one right shall operate as a waiver of any subsequent right.

this Agreement.

     23. CONTINUING LIEN. It is the intent of the parties hereto that (a)

     25. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any material respect, such provision shall be replaced
with a provision which is as close as possible in effect to such invalid, illegal or

do such further things, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all
such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Lender may from time

with respect to each such leased real property.

     8. Amendment
to Section 5.13. Section 5.13 of the Credit
Agreement, Negative Covenants, is hereby modified and amended by deleting the
phrase “except for transfers of Licenses to Holding Subsidiaries” from clause (a) of
such Section and by substituting “except for transfers of Licenses to the License
Subsidiaries and transfers of other assets to Operating Subsidiaries” in lieu thereof.

     9. Amendments
to Sections 6.1. Section 6.1 of the Credit Agreement, Events of Default, is

EXHIBIT 1 TO FIRST AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED

CREDIT AGREEMENT

MetroPCS Communications, Inc., an affiliate of Royal Street’s largest current customer, MetroPCS
Wireless, Inc. (“MetroPCS”), was recently sued for patent infringement in United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, Leap Wireless International, Inc. et al
v. MetroPCS Communications, Inc., Case No. 2:062CV240-TJW (Jury). MetroPCS or an affiliate thereof
has begun offering wireless service in portions of Florida using capacity purchased from Royal
Street on wireless systems owned by Royal Street (“the Royal Street Systems”) which are technically
and operationally compatible with the MetroPCS wireless systems that are the basis for the pending
suit. Based on the above-identified lawsuit, the then imminent, and now actual, launch of the
Royal Street Systems, and the technical similarity between the accused MetroPCS systems and the
Royal Street Systems, Royal Street expects, but is not certain, that it will be (1) named as a
defendant in the above-identified, pending patent infringement suit, or (2) sued separately for
alleged infringement of the same patent that is at issue in that suit. To date, however, Royal
Street has received no notice of any such suit and no such suit is currently pending against Royal
Street. Royal Street filed a declaratory judgment action on September 22, 2006 in the United States
District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The defendants therein, Leap Wireless
International, Inc. and Cricket Communications, Inc., have filed a motion to dismiss that
declaratory action or in the alternative to transfer the declaratory judgment section to the
Eastern District of Texas, which motion remains pending.

Annual Budget for the prior twelve (12) month period until such time as the Management
Committee approves a new Annual Budget.

          (c) Each proposed Annual Budget shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the projected

period, including capital expenditures, expenses, as well as the projected revenues, by
source, for that period. In addition, the Annual Budget shall set forth the various items
of capital expense projected for the relevant period, including, but not limited to, costs
of site construction, improvements in technical facilities, expansion of system capacity
and introduction of new services.

          (d) The Management Committee may, in its discretion, adopt Annual Budgets on a
fiscal year basis. To the extent necessary to employ a fiscal year Annual Budget and

Annual Budget or planning period of more than or less than twelve (12) months.

     2.10. Business Plans.

          (a) Royal Street shall establish a Planning Group (the “Planning Group”) consisting
of such officers and management level persons as the Management Committee may select,
provided that the majority of such members shall be employees of Royal Street or
representatives of C9 Wireless and not employees or representatives of the MetroPCS
Parties. The Planning Group shall prepare a business plan for the *** period
commencing on the License Grant Date (“Business Plan”), in accordance with such direction
as the Management Committee shall provide. Separate business plans may be developed for
individual Markets, groups of Markets, or different market situations as the Management
Committee shall direct. The Business Plan shall include appropriate schedules for
deployment of the CMRS systems, capital and operating budgets and such other detail as the
Management Committee shall specify. The Business Plan shall be designed to make the Royal
Street Systems competitive in each of the Markets. The Business Plan shall be submitted to
the Management Committee for its approval in accordance with such schedule as the
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
of the Effective Date. The Management Committee may approve the Business Plan as
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
covered by the Business Plan, the Planning Group shall prepare and submit to the
Management Committee any proposed revisions to the Business Plan(s) which the Planning
Group believes should be made in order to better achieve the goals for the Royal Street
Systems, or any one or more of them. The Management Committee shall have the authority to
approve, modify on a line-by-line basis or return the proposed revisions to the Planning
Group for further revision. The Planning Group shall resubmit a revised Business Plan to
the Management Committee within fifteen (15) days after its return to the Planning Group
for revision.

          (c) The Planning Group also shall prepare and submit to the Management Committee a
proposed Annual Business Plan (“Annual Business Plan”) for the twelve (12) month period
beginning on the License Grant Date or such other period as the Management Committee may
specify. Thereafter, the Planning Group shall prepare and submit to the Management
Committee at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Annual
Business Plan, or such other date as the Management Committee shall direct in writing, a
proposed Annual Business Plan for the following year or such other period as the
Management Committee may decide. The Management Committee shall endeavor to approve,
modify or return the proposed Annual Business Plan to the Planning Group for revision,
within thirty (30) days of its submission by the Planning Group. The Planning Group shall
resubmit any revised

-17-

 

proposed Annual Business Plan within fifteen (15) days after its return to the Planning
Group for revision.

          (d) Each proposed Annual Business Plan shall set forth in reasonable detail the
goals and objectives for the forthcoming year (or agreed upon 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

               (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
terms and conditions of Section 5.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any
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.

     5.4. C9 Wireless’ Put Rights.

          (a) Right to Sell to GWI. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Section 5.4, C9 Wireless shall have the following rights and options:

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

applicable notice provisions, or (II) the date that is *** prior
to the ***

               (ii) C9 Wireless may exercise the Holding Subsidiary Put by delivery of an

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

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

               (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,

          (a) No Manager or Officer or any employee of Royal Street (each, an “Indemnified

accountable in damages or otherwise to Royal Street, to any third party or to any Member
for (i) any act performed or omission within the scope of the authority conferred on the
Indemnified Party by this Agreement or otherwise by the Management Committee except for
the bad faith, gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct (including any willful
violation of the terms of this Agreement) of any Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnified
Party’s performance of, or failure to perform, any act on the reasonable reliance on

Damages arising out of such action, suit or proceeding by virtue of his or her status as

(including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to Royal Street, any Member
or to any other Indemnified Party, an Indemnified Party acting under this Agreement shall
not be liable to Royal Street or to any Member or to any other Indemnified Party for its
good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement,
to the extent that they

all properties of a character usually insured by organizations engaged in the same or
similar business against loss or damage of a kind customarily insured against by such

ARTICLE 10

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.

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.

     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.

     16.6. Counterparts. For the convenience of the Parties hereto, this Agreement
may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original and all of which shall together constitute the same agreement.

     16.7. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
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
Effective Date constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and thereof, and supercedes all prior agreements between the Parties.
This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified, and no provisions hereof may be
modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties
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.

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

to take such action (including the execution, acknowledgment

-61-

 

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.

          All amounts reimbursed hereunder shall be paid by Royal Street to the appropriate
Member no later than on the earliest to occur of (i) the Effective Date or (ii) the date

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.
