valid or binding between the parties without ▇▇▇▇ Atlantic Mobile's prior
written consent.

---------
hereto shall not be deemed or construed to be modified, amended, or waived,

------------
invalid or unenforceable by any court or governmental agency of competent

and all remaining provisions shall be afforded full force and effect as if
such severed provision had never been a provision hereof.
9.4 Execution. At the time of execution of this Agreement, the
---------
parties shall cause their authorized officers to execute two original
copies of this Agreement. One executed copy together with one initialed
copy of each schedule and attachment hereto shall be maintained by the

------------

WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION.
13.1. Coverage. This Section 13 governs all disputes, claims, or
--------
causes of action between the parties. It applies not only to all
alleged disputes, claims, or causes of action arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, but to all other alleged disputes, claims,
or causes of action between the parties that may currently exist or
that may in the future arise for any reason.
13.2. Written Notice Required. Neither party may pursue any
-----------------------
alleged dispute, claim, or cause of action against the other party,
except to the extent that emergency injunctive relief or a temporary
restraining order may be necessary, without first providing written
notice of such alleged dispute, claim, or cause of action to such
other party.
13.3. Negotiation Required. Within thirty days of any written
--------------------
notice of an alleged dispute, claim, or cause of action, the parties
shall meet in person or by telephone and attempt in good faith to
negotiate a resolution of the alleged dispute, claim, or cause of
action. If the party receiving the notice refuses to meet, this thirty
day period will be deemed to have expired upon the date of such
refusal, if it is sooner than thirty (30) days.
13.4. When Arbitration May Be Initiated. Except as provided in
---------------------------------
Subsections 13.2 and 13.6, no arbitration or action may be commenced
with respect to any alleged dispute, claim, or cause of action until
the period prescribed in Subsection 13.3 has expired. If, upon the
expiration of such period (or such longer period to which the parties
may have agreed in writing in seeking in good faith to negotiate a
resolution of the alleged dispute, claim, or cause of action) no
negotiated resolution has been reached, the party that gave notice may
initiate arbitration.
14
13.5. Tolling and Confidentiality During Negotiation. From the
----------------------------------------------
date of any written as prescribed notice in Subsection 13.2 until
expiration of the negotiation period as prescribed in Subsection 13.4,
any statutes of limitations applicable to the alleged dispute, claim,
or cause of action described in such notice shall be tolled. No
admission, statement, or document by either party made as part of an
attempt in good faith to negotiate pursuant to Subsection 13.3 may be
used in any fashion in any arbitration or action. Any such admission,
statement, or document by either party shall be deemed confidential
and made pursuant to any applicable settlement privilege. The making
of any such admission, statement, or document shall not, however,
preclude the admission of any evidence that would otherwise be
admissible in an arbitration or action.
13.6. Arbitration. Arbitration shall be the exclusive means of
-----------
resolving any alleged dispute, claim, or cause of action between the
parties that cannot be resolved by negotiation as prescribed in
Subsection 13.3. Neither party may commence any action in any court
except to enforce this obligation to arbitrate, enforce any
arbitration award, or in aid of arbitration to the extent that
emergency injunctive relief or a temporary restraining order may be
necessary to prevent irreparable injury or preserve the status quo
pending decision of an issue by an arbitrator or arbitrators.
13.7. Arbitration Rules. Any arbitration and counterclaim in
-----------------
arbitration between the parties shall be initiated under and governed

agree.
13.7.1. Any arbitration shall be held in New York City.
13.7.2. If either party commences arbitration in the
manner described above, the dispute will be subject to expedited,
binding arbitration before three (3) independent arbitrators
familiar with the wireless telecommunications industry. Such
arbitration shall be held in New York City, New York pursuant to
the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") Rules in effect at
the time of the dispute. Each party shall select one (1)
arbitrator within twenty (20) days of initiation of arbitration.
The two (2) arbitrators selected shall in turn select a third
arbitrator. If the arbitrators selected by the parties cannot
agree on a third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be
selected from the AAA's Commercial Panel, Telecommunications
Panel or Large/Complex Case Panel as provided by the WIA Rules.
13.7.3. No fast track arbitration as defined in the WIA
Rules shall be available or applied to either party.
13.7.4. No arbitration pursuant to this Section 13 may
proceed on a class basis, or be consolidated with any other
arbitration, without the written consent of both parties.
13.7.5. Any arbitration award may be reviewed pursuant to
Rule L-6 of the WIA Rules.
13.7.6. Judgment may be entered on any final arbitration
award in any court of competent jurisdiction.
13.7.7. No arbitration award may include any award of
attorney's fees (except as may be required by any statute
preempting the Federal Arbitration Act to such extent), punitive
damages, exemplary damages, or treble or other multiple damages.
No arbitration award may reform or amend this Agreement.
15
13.7.8. Any arbitration award must include a statement by
the arbitrator or arbitrators of the reasons for the award.
13.8. Severance. If any action or judicial proceeding is
---------
commenced involving the parties, and any alleged dispute, claim, or
cause of action arises between the parties in such action or
proceeding, such alleged dispute, claim, or cause of action shall be
severed for resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
If any third party not subject to the provisions of this Agreement is
a necessary party to any alleged dispute, claim, or cause of action
between the parties, and such third party refuses to consent to
arbitration pursuant to this Agreement, all issues that can be
resolved without such third party shall remain subject to this
Agreement and be severed and resolved before any other issues.
13.9. The Federal Arbitration Act Applies. This Agreement
-----------------------------------
involves interstate commerce and is subject to the Federal Arbitration
Act, 9 U.S.C. (S)(S) 1-16. The Federal Arbitration Act preempts any
inconsistent state or local law, rule, or regulation concerning
arbitration.
13.10. Confidentiality. In addition to the provisions of
---------------
Subsection 13.5, neither party shall disclose to any third party any
admission, statement, or document of the other produced or used in
negotiation or arbitration, or disclose to any third party the
proceedings or outcome of any negotiation or arbitration. This
Subsection 13.10 shall not preclude disclosure to an arbitrator or
arbitrators or the AAA or, to the extent such persons agree to be
bound by this Subsection 13.10, to the parties' parents, subsidiaries,
affiliates, officers, directors, and professional advisors. This
Subsection 13.10 also shall not preclude any disclosure required by
law or disclosure to any third party of the fact and amount of any
final arbitration award.
13.11. Waiver of Trial by Jury. In the event that the Resolution
-----------------------
of Disputes/Arbitration Clause is deemed to be not enforceable, with
respect to any judicial action which may arise under or with respect
to this Agreement, or any relationship or dealings between the parties
that arise out of or by virtue of this Agreement, each party agrees to
waive trial by jury. Company consents to the bringing of any such
action under this Agreement to New York.
