AGREEMENT
---------
1. PROVISION OF SERVICE AND RATES. The Serving Carrier agrees to provide
Wireless Service to Authorized Roamers of Home Carrier under the terms and
conditions provided in this Agreement. However, nothing in this Agreement shall
require any Party to make a technical alteration or reconfiguration of its
network, in order to enable Authorized Roamers of the other Party to roam, that
it is not making on behalf of the other similarly-situated roamers.
SBMS: FCB ▇▇▇▇▇▇: MUR
--- ---
5
The Home Carrier bears the responsibility and expense of providing its
customers with equipment that is technically compatible with network upon which
roaming is sought. No Party shall have any obligation to reconfigure or to
redesign its network with technology currently in use by another Party or to
perform specialized routing to accommodate foreign customers. Nothing in this
paragraph shall limit any Parties' ability to install equipment or take other
appropriate measures to prevent unauthorized usage.
1.1 RATES. Effective as of the date set forth at the beginning of this
Agreement, all SBMS Affiliates markets and all ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Affiliate markets will
charge the rates set forth in the Rate Addendum attached hereto. Amendments in
the rates set forth therein may be changed only by the written mutual agreement
of the Parties. Rates contained therein are wholesale rates only, and the
Parties hereto make no representations and no agreements whatsoever regarding
retail rates they may charge their subscribers.
1.2 CURRENT ROAMING MARKETS. Each Party shall list on Appendix I hereto each
market which it intends to be either a Home or Serving market, listed by its
respective Affiliate, as previously defined herein. Any market listed on
Appendix I where roaming service is not available, or for which no deployment
date has been announced, at the time this Agreement is executed shall be listed
separately on Appendix 2. Due to concerns about fraud, no Party shall be
obligated to load into its switches the exchanges of the markets listed on
Appendix 2 until notified by the Party whose market is so listed. When a listed
market is available for roaming, or when it announces a deployment date, that
Party shall notify the other Parties to this Agreement in writing and shall
substitute a new Appendix 2 deleting that market. In that
SBMS: FCB ▇▇▇▇▇▇: MUR
--- ---
6
event, the Parties shall commence roaming in the market within thirty (30) days
of the written notice.
1.3 ADDITION OR DELETION OF MARKETS. Either Party, upon sixty (60) days written
notice to the other Party, may add additional domestic Wireless Service markets
controlled directly or indirectly, by an Affiliate to those contained in
Appendix I; provided that neither party may add a market that is not listed on
Appendix I as of the effective date of this Agreement without the consent of
the other party if that market overlaps any portion of the other party's
markets covered by the Agreement. Said additions may be reflected in either a
new Appendix I or by providing notices of additions via the industry-accepted
form know as a Technical Data Sheet. Either the new Appendix I or a Technical
Data Sheet shall be dated and executed by the submitting Party and provided to
the other Party. However, in order to avoid possible confusion, the SBMS
Affiliates reserve the right to request a new Appendix I be substituted
whenever the number of Technical Data Sheets becomes voluminous or upon the
passage of a reasonable period of time. In any event, either Party may request
a new Appendix I at least once a year. If new markets are added as a result of
an updated Appendix I, the new Appendix I shall be substituted for any previous
Appendix I, and shall be of full force and effect as the controlling Appendix
I. A Party may delete a market only if the market has been sold or transferred
to an entity that is not affiliated with that Party as defined in this
Agreement, and shall provide sixty days written notice to the other Party of
the deletion and the reason therefor.
SBMS: FCB ▇▇▇▇▇▇: MUR

1.4 ADDITION OR DELETION OF AFFILIATES. Either Party may add domestic
Affiliates along with the markets controlled by such Affiliates upon sixty (60)
days written notice to the other Party; provided that neither party may add a
market that is not listed on Appendix I as of the effective date of this
Agreement without the consent of the other party if that market overlaps any
portion of the other party's markets covered by the Agreement. Such written
notice shall include a new Appendix I, amended to reflect the addition of
Affiliates together with the markets controlled by those additional Affiliates.
In that event, the new Appendix I shall be substituted for any previous
Appendix I, and shall be in full force and effect as the controlling Appendix
I. The new Affiliate must acknowledge and agree in writing to be bound by the
terms and conditions of this Agreement by sending such written acknowledgment
to each Party. The Affiliate obtaining the Wireless Service hereunder shall
then be liable for the obligations incurred as if such Affiliate had entered
into a separate Agreement. A Party may delete an Affiliate only if the
Affiliate has ceased to be affiliated as defined in this Agreement, and shall
provide sixty days written notice to the other Party of the deletion and the
reason therefor
1.5 NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. The Parties agree that if one Party notifies
the other that a market is deleted in accordance with Section 1.3 because such
market has been sold or transferred to a non-Affiliate, then that transferee
has no rights as a third party beneficiary under this Agreement. In the event
that an Affiliate ceases to be affiliated as defined in this Agreement, then
the Party shall provide written notice of the cessation of affiliation to the
other Party as soon as reasonably practicable. The former Affiliate has no
rights under this Agreement as of the effective date of the cessation of
affiliation.

1.6 PROTECTION OF CARRIER'S OPERATIONS. Notwithstanding anything in the
Agreement to the contrary, a Serving Carrier may suspend or terminate service
to a Roamer in accordance with its own standard terms and conditions of
service. No Serving Carrier shall carry, in connection with it service to
Roamers, recorded announcements or other similar inducements for a Roamer to
discontinue the Wireless Service of the Home Carrier or otherwise interfere
with the Roamer's use of the Home Carrier's system.
1.7 EFFECT OF FCC ORDER. In the event the FCC issues any Order or Ruling that
addresses the terms and conditions of "automatic roaming" by PCS and/or
cellular licenses that in the reasonable opinion of either Party significantly
affects its overall pricing structure or the material terms and conditions upon
which its services frequently provided, then the Parties will negotiate a
revised rate, or material term affecting the MTA/BTAs or MSA/RSAs covered by
this Agreement. If the Parties are unable to agree on a revised rate or
material term within sixty (60) days of a written request for renegotiations,
then this Agreement shall terminate on the 15th day of the month immediately
following the sixty (60) day negotiation period, unless the parties mutually
agree to continue negotiations.

1.9.2 The "existing SBMS networks" referenced above include those SBMS
markets listed on Appendix I excluding any Delaware Valley Communications, Inc.
PCS markets that have not launched as of the effective date hereof, and they do
not automatically include after-acquired markets of SBMS. For example,
"existing SBMS networks" do not include any Ameritech Cellular affiliates, even
if SBC's pending merger with Ameritech receives regulatory approval or closes
prior to the execution of this Agreement. With respect to any new markets or
affiliates added to this Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, it
is provided that any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ minutes sent to a newly added SBMS market and any
▇▇▇▇▇▇ minutes sent from a newly added ▇▇▇▇▇▇ market will not count toward
▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ airtime commitments hereunder unless and until the Parties have agreed
in writing on new commitment levels in connection with such additions.
1.9.3 Any shortfalls in the number of minutes committed to during the
time periods set forth above will be charged at $___/minute. For example,
during the period of October 16, 1999, through October 15, 2000, if ▇▇▇▇▇▇

networks, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will pay to SBMS an additional $______ (___ million minutes @
$___ per minute) at the end of such period.
1.10 RATES FOR FUTURE MARKETS. When either Party adds new markets or affiliates
to this Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, any pre-existing
roaming agreements between the new market and/or affiliate and the other Party
will be terminated and the markets added to this Agreement at the airtime rates
(excluding any daily charges) previously in place between the new market and/or
affiliate and the other Party, or at $___/minute with no daily charge,
whichever is lower. The domestic toll rate of $___ per Minute shall apply to
all new markets added to this Agreement the Parties may mutually agree to
negotiate new airtime and/or domestic toll rates for such markets
1.11 SBMS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to work
toward implementing IS 136 interoperability for feature portability of mutually
agreeable features between their networks.
2. EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION. The following terms and conditions shall govern the
obligations of the Parties regarding exchange of information.
2.1 NPA/NXX COMBINATIONS. Each Party shall provide the other, or its authorized
representatives, with a list of the valid NPA/NXX combinations used by its
customers that shall be accepted by the other Party. Such NPA/NXXs will follow
the CIBER guidelines associated with shared line ranges. Each Party will be
responsible for billing to any number within that total range. The minimum time
required before changes, additions or deletions of NPA/NXXs are effective shall
be fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of written notification of such
changes, additions or deletions by either of the Parties. Authorized
SBMS: FCB ▇▇▇▇▇▇: MUR

12
Roamers must use equipment with the NPA/NXX combinations listed in accordance
with this Paragraph 2.1. NPA/NXX changes shall be forwarded using such methods
or facilities mutually designated by the Parties.
2.2 FRAUD CONTROL. To control fraudulent roamer usage, each party shall use in
all markets an on-line positive validation whether through a Clearinghouse
system using accepted CIBERNET Negative File Guidelines, SS-7 connection or
switch-to-switch interconnect facilities. If SS-7 connection or
switch-to-switch, the Parties thereby mutually agree to accept verification
requirements via the HLR resident in the Home Carrier's switch. The Home
Carrier's HLR will update the Serving Carrier's VLR with any changes of roamer
verification status. The Parties agree that calls completed by a Serving
Carrier after a validation request pursuant to the agreed-upon validation
method has determined that a Roamer is not a valid customer of the Home Carrier
shall be the responsibility of the Serving Carrier. Each Serving Carrier shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to provide each Home Carrier with realtime
visibility of call detail records delivered through a network compatible with
the Party's networks where such records are within the control of the Serving
Carrier. Such information that is within the control of the Serving Carrier
shall be delivered within the time frame that is standard within the industry.
However, neither Party shall have any obligation to make a technical alteration
or reconfiguration in its network or operations in order to accommodate the
other party's call detail records. In the event that the Serving Carrier
provides data to such real-time visibility system, the Serving Carrier shall
not be liable in any event for a temporary failure of the system. However, the
Serving Carrier, once notified of a temporary system failure, agrees to take
all reasonable steps to remedy the failure where such failure is within
SBMS: FCB ▇▇▇▇▇▇: MUR
--- ---
13
the control of the Serving Carrier. The parties agree to the exchange of
settlement information at the clearinghouse via Electronic Data Transfer. They
will begin with the exchange between SBMS's Wash/Balt Market and ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ MD2
and Western Maryland Markets, and work toward implementing in other markets as
available. The parties will also work toward a 24-hour exchange of traffic
between SBMS's Wash/Balt Market and ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ MD2 and Western Maryland Markets.
2.3 SUSPENSION FOR FRAUD. Whenever, in the judgment of either Party, roamer
fraud becomes excessive, roaming under this Agreement may be suspended by the
Home Carrier in the markets where such roamer fraud is excessive immediately at
the Home Carrier's option by written notification to the other Party. This
notification may be via facsimile in accordance with the notice provisions of
Section 11. Such requests shall be completed within one (1) business day
following receipt when possible, but not later than three (3) business days
following receipt. After the expiration of the three (3) business days
deadline, if an exchange is not removed, the liability for any fraud incurred
will be the responsibility of the Serving Carrier. The Home Carrier shall
submit all claims, in writing, for the fraudulent usage to the Serving Carrier.
This notification may be via facsimile or by overnight mail. Suspension for
fraud shall not be governed by the provisions and time frames set forth in
Paragraph 8.1 hereof. In consideration of the immediacy of the suspension upon
notice of fraud, the Parties agree that, upon the reasonable request of the
other Party, each shall present documentation of the alleged fraud to support
the notice of suspension. The Parties expressly agree that this Section 2.3 is
intended to be used for the mutual protection of the Parties
SBMS: FCB ▇▇▇▇▇▇: MUR

against fraud and not to selectively remove individual markets from the
operation of the Agreement for any other reason.
3. BILLING. The Home Carrier shall be responsible for all charges that are
incurred by its customers as a result of service provided to them as Authorized
Roamers by the Serving Carrier, provided that all charges are billed to the
Home Carrier within thirty (30) days of call origination. Each Home Carrier
shall be liable to the Serving Carrier for the payments provided for in
Paragraph 4 whether or not amounts billed are paid to the Home Carrier by its
customers.
3.1 TAXES. The Home Carrier shall also be responsible for billing its customers
for and remitting to the Federal Government all federal excise tax that may be
incurred in connection with the service being billed by it to its customers
while the Serving Carrier will be responsible for the computation and
remittance of all applicable state and local taxes. Each Home Carrier shall be
liable to the Serving Carrier for all such state and local taxes submitted by
the Serving Carrier, regardless of whether these amounts are paid to the Home
Carrier by its customers.
3.2 CIBER RECORD EXCHANGE. Each Serving Carrier that provides Wireless Service
to an Authorized Roamer pursuant to the Agreement shall, in accordance with
industry standards, either via electronic data transmission or via magnetic
tape, forward CIBER records on at least a weekly basis to the appropriate

3.3 CIBER EDITS. Where the Authorized Roamer billing information required to be
provided by the Serving Carrier in accordance with Paragraph 3.2 above is not
in accordance with the CIBER record, the Home Carrier may choose to perform
CIBER edits and return records to the Serving Carrier as provided for in the
CIBER Record Edit. Additionally, the Serving Carrier may correct the returned
record and return it to the Home Carrier. All such return and resubmit of CIBER
Records shall be performed using procedures outlined in the accepted CIBERNET
Guidelines as amended from time to time.

Serving Carrier without withholding any amount owed to it by the Serving
Carrier under the Agreement. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement shall be payable in United States currency.
5. SETTLEMENT. The Parties agree to follow industry settlement procedures and
to make payments to each other pursuant to industry net settlement procedures
(now administered by CIBERNET), as now existing or hereafter amended, which are
incorporated herein by reference as if set forth herein in full, and to the
extent there are any inconsistencies between such procedures and this
Agreement, such procedures shall be controlling. Both Parties agree

16
that if payments are not received after thirty (30) days of original invoice, a
late payment fee of the lesser of one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month,
or the highest rate allowable by law, will be assessed on the invoice amount.
6. ARBITRATION. Disputes between the Parties, their successors and assigns,
relating to billing, remittance or settlement sections of charges under this
Agreement shall conclusively and finally be settled in the first instance
through the industry net settlement procedures (now administered by CIBERNET),
but if such procedures are not applicable or fail to resolve a dispute, then by
binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association (AAA).
6.1 PROCEDURES. Provided the responsible governing body or official of the
industry net settlement administrator makes a final determination that its
procedures do not apply to or cannot resolve a particular dispute, either Party
may institute arbitration by giving written notice to the other Party of
intention to arbitrate, which notice shall contain the name of the arbitrator
selected by the Party, the nature of the controversy, the amount involved, if
any, the remedies sought, and any other pertinent matter. Within seven (7) days
after the giving of such notice, the other Party shall submit to the initiating
Party the name of an arbitrator whom it has appointed and may submit an
answering statement. Within fifteen (15) days thereafter the two (2)
arbitrators so appointed shall select a third arbitrator; the three arbitrators
so selected shall resolve the controversy. If any Party fails to choose an
arbitrator within the seven (7) day period herein provided, or if the
arbitrators appointed by the Parties cannot agree on the other arbitrator
within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second
SBMS: FCB ▇▇▇▇▇▇: MUR
--- ---
17
arbitrator, the arbitrator(s) selected by the Party(ies) shall appeal to an
appropriate Judge. The arbitration hearings shall be held at a mutually agreed
upon location by the said Parties.
6.2 DISCOVERY. Any Party to the arbitration may send-out requests to compel the
production of documents from the other Parties. Disputes concerning the scope
of document production and enforcement of the document request shall be subject
to agreement by such Parties or may be resolved by the arbitrators as to the
extent reasonable. All discovery requests shall be subject to the proprietary
rights and rights of privilege of such Parties, and the arbitrators shall adopt
procedures to protect such rights. Except where contrary to the provisions set
forth in the Agreement, the rules of the AAA for commercial arbitration shall be
applied to all matters of procedure, including discovery, provided, however,
that the arbitration shall not be conducted under the auspices of the AAA and
the fee schedule of the AAA shall not apply. The arbitrators may obtain
independent legal counsel to aid in their resolution of legal questions
presented in the course of arbitration to the extent they consider that such
counsel is absolutely necessary to the fair resolution of the dispute, and to
the extent that it is economical to do so considering financial consequences of
the dispute.
6.3 LIMITS ON ARBITRATION. The arbitrators shall be limited to interpreting the
applicable provisions of this Agreement, and shall have no authority or power
to alter, amend, modify, revoke or suspend any condition or provision of this
Agreement or to create, draft or form a new Agreement between the Parties, or
to render an award which, by its terms has the effect of altering or modifying
any condition or provision hereof, or terminate this or any Agreement.

6.4 EXPENSES OF ARBITRATION. Said Parties will each bear their own expenses of
the arbitration and will share equally the expenses of the arbitrators.
6.5 ARBITRATORS' AWARD. The arbitrators shall make an award which may include
an award of damages, and said award shall be in writing setting forth the facts
found to exist. Failure to comply with the arbitration requirements of this
Paragraph shall be a complete defense to any suit, action or proceeding
instituted in any federal, state or local court with respect to any controversy
or dispute relating to billing, remittance or settlement of charges under this
Agreement.
6.6 CONTINUATION OF SERVICE PENDING ARBITRATION. Except where this Agreement
permits a Party to terminate Roamer Services, in whole or in part, the Parties
will continue to provide all services and honor all other commitments under
this Agreement, including, without limitation, making payments in accordance
with this Agreement during the course of resolution of disputes and arbitration
pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph.
7. DEFAULT. A Party will be in default under this Agreement upon the occurrence
of any of the following events:
(a) Said Party's violation of any term of the Agreement (including the
industry net settlement procedures, now administered by CIBERNET, incorporated
herein by reference), if such violation shall continue for fifteen (15) days
after written notice thereof,

9. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. All disclosure of information (whether iii
writing, visually or orally disclosed) under this Agreement will be deemed to

non-proprietary at the time of disclosure, or unless, by its nature, it is
obviously non-confidential or non-proprietary. The receiving Party can freely
use, have used, or disclose to others such non-confidential or non-proprietary

information may be disclosed only to such of the employees, consultants and
subcontractors of the receiving Party who reasonably require access to such
information for the purpose for which it was disclosed and who have secrecy

The commitment shall impose no obligation upon either Party with
respect to any portion of such information that:

from the other Parry;
(b) is now or which (through no act or failure on the part of
the receiving Party) becomes generally known;
(c) is supplied to receiving Party by a third party which the
receiving Party in good faith believes is free to make such disclosure and

(d) is disclosed by the disclosing Party to a third party
generally, without restriction on disclosure;
(e) is independently developed by the receiving Party without
use of any confidential information provided by the disclosing Party.
The obligation of confidentiality shall survive the termination or
expiration of this Agreement for a period of five (5) years.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 6 of this Agreement, the
Parties agree that either Party may enforce the provisions of this Paragraph
regarding restrictions on confidentiality by an action for injunctive relief or
other equitable remedies.
