The adjustments provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above are not exclusive of each other, but they may be offset against each other on the Adjustment Date, as applicable.

Section 2.2. Like-Kind Exchange

(a) The parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchanges to be treated in such a manner that the Exchanges qualify as tax-free exchanges of multiple, like-kind assets under U.S. Tax law to the maximum extent permitted by Section 1031 of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, including this Section 2.2, each party acknowledges and agrees that it (i) has obtained its own, separate tax advice with respect to the characterization of the Exchanges as like-kind exchanges of property under Section 1031 of the Code, and (ii) is not relying on any representations of any other party with respect to the characterization of the Exchanges as like-kind exchanges of property under Section 1031 of the Code.

(b) The parties agree that, for Tax purposes, the aggregate fair market value of the Transferred Virginia Assets is equal to the aggregate fair market value of the Transferred Multi-Area Assets plus One Hundred Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($175,000,000). On or prior to the First Closing Date, Cingular and the AWS Parties, on the one hand, and the Triton Parties, on the other hand, shall, subject to the preceding sentence, agree upon the relative fair market values of each of the Transferred Multi-Area Network Assets, each of the Transferred Multi-Area Licenses, each of the Transferred Virginia Network Assets and each of the Transferred Virginia Licenses (the “Allocation Statement”). To the extent that the parties are unable to agree on an Allocation Statement by the time of the First Closing, promptly after the First Closing, the matter shall be submitted to Bond & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. (the “Appraiser”), which shall be retained by

- 25

the parties to appraise, subject to the first sentence of this Section 2.2(b), the fair market values of each of the Transferred Multi-Area Network Assets, each of the Transferred Multi-Area Licenses, each of the Transferred Virginia Network Assets and each of the Transferred Virginia Licenses (the “Appraisal”). The fees and expenses of the Appraiser shall be borne one-half by Cingular and one-half by Triton. The Allocation Statement shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code, if applicable, and shall in any event assign values to each party’s exchange groups of assets in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.1031(j)-1. The Triton Parties, on the one hand, and Cingular and the AWS Parties, on the other hand, agree to cause all tax returns and reports relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594, if necessary, to be filed in accordance with the Allocation Statement (or the Appraisal, as the case may be).

(c) Any of the parties to this Agreement may, at its sole cost and expense, assign some or all of its rights (but not its obligations) under this Agreement to a Person serving as a qualified intermediary within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)(iii) (a “Qualified Intermediary”) or a similar entity or pursuant to a similar arrangement. Upon any such assignment, the assigning party shall promptly give written notice to the other parties to this Agreement and such other parties shall cooperate with reasonable requests of the assigning party in connection therewith, including but not limited to promptly providing the assigning party with written acknowledgement of such assignment. Such other parties shall not be required to incur any additional cost or expense as a result of such an assignment.

(d) Puerto Rico Losses.

(i) The parties hereto agree to take the position in all income Tax returns (including amended Tax returns) that under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Transactions described herein do not result in the carryover of any losses, credits, expenses, or deductions related to the trade or business conducted in Puerto Rico by any of the AWS Parties through a branch (the “Puerto Rico Losses”) to any of the Triton Parties, AWS Network Newco or AWS License Newco or any successors thereto, and as a result thereof none of the Puerto Rico Losses can be used in any way in determining the net operating loss deduction of any of the Triton Parties, AWS Network Newco or AWS License Newco or any successors thereto. The AWS Parties, AWS Network Newco, AWS License Newco and Cingular currently hold a legal opinion upon which the AWS Parties, AWS Network Newco and AWS License Newco can rely, indicating that the foregoing is the proper characterization of the Transactions contemplated hereby under Puerto Rican Tax Law (the “Opinion”). A copy of the Opinion has been provided to the Triton Parties. The Triton Parties and the AWS Parties each agree to attach a copy of the Opinion to their respective United States and Puerto Rican income Tax returns (including amended Tax returns) for the year or years in which the Transactions occur (or if more appropriate, the years or years immediately following). The Triton Parties further agree that for the year or years in which the Transactions occur and each subsequent year, neither they, AWS Network Newco, AWS License Newco nor any successor

- 26

Controlled by any of the foregoing shall (A) file any Tax return (including amended Tax returns) in which they reflect that any Puerto Rico Losses carry-over to any Triton Party, AWS Network Newco, or AWS License Newco (or any successors thereto) following the consummation of the Transactions or (B) use any portion of the Puerto Rico Losses in any way in determining the net operating loss deduction of any of the Triton Parties, AWS Network Newco or AWS License Newco or any successors thereto.

(ii) The AWS Parties and Cingular, in consultation with the Triton Parties, shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a ruling from the Puerto Rican tax authorities as soon as practicable, on behalf of the AWS Parties, Cingular, AWS Network Newco and AWS License Newco and the Triton Parties as the acquiror of AWS Network Newco and AWS License Newco, confirming to substantial effect that the Transactions described herein do not result in the carryover of any Puerto Rico Losses of any of the AWS Parties to any of the Triton Parties, AWS Network Newco or AWS License Newco (or any successors thereto or Affiliates thereof), and that the Puerto Rico Losses of any of the AWS Parties cannot be used by any of the Triton Parties, AWS Network Newco or AWS License Newco (or any successors thereto or Affiliates thereof) in any way after the consummation of the Transactions in determining the net operating loss deduction of any of the Triton Parties, AWS Network Newco or AWS License Newco or any successors thereto (the “Ruling”). The parties acknowledge that no discussions have been undertaken with Puerto Rican authorities regarding securing the Ruling. Accordingly, the parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to secure the Ruling in a form substantially consistent with the foregoing description, but agree that the securing of a Ruling in a form different or to different addressees will not release any party from its undertakings hereunder. The Triton Parties agree to cooperate with the AWS Parties and Cingular in seeking the Ruling, such cooperation to include, but not be limited to, providing such powers of attorney or other authorizations as may reasonably be requested by the AWS Parties or Cingular. In the event that the Ruling is received by the AWS Parties, Cingular, AWS Network Newco and AWS License Newco and the Triton Parties prior to the filing of the United States or Puerto Rican income Tax returns for the year or years in which the Transactions occur (or if more appropriate, the year or years immediately following), the AWS Parties and the Triton Parties each agree to attach a copy of the Ruling to such United States or Puerto Rican income Tax returns (including amended Tax returns) for such year or years. Upon request of Cingular or the AWS Parties in connection with a Tax audit of any of the AWS Parties, the Triton Parties will provide copies of pertinent portions of any such Tax returns to Cingular and the AWS Parties and they shall be entitled to show such copies to employees of the auditing governmental agency or entity in connection with such Tax Audit.

(iii) In connection with a Puerto Rico Sale (as defined below) prior to the filing of the initial Puerto Rican Tax return for AWS License Newco or AWS Network Newco (or any successors thereto) for the first period following the Closing (the “Initial Return”), if the acquiror in such Puerto Rico Sale will be

- 27

responsible for filing the Initial Return, then prior to the closing of such Puerto Rico Sale the Triton Parties will inform the acquiror of and provide such acquiror with a copy of the provisions of this Section 2.2(d), and the Triton Parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to secure an agreement from such acquiror that (A) it shall not (i) reflect or otherwise take a position on the Initial Return that any Puerto Rico Losses carry-over to AWS Network Newco, AWS License Newco or any successor thereto or Affiliates thereof following the consummation of the Transactions or (ii) use any portion of the Puerto Rico Losses in any way in the Initial Return in determining the net operating loss deduction of AWS Network Newco, AWS License Newco or any successor thereto or Affiliates thereof, and (B) the acquiror shall attach to such Initial Return a copy of the Opinion and, if received prior to the filing of the Initial Return, the Ruling.

(iv) In the event that any Triton Party, AWS Network Newco, AWS License Newco or any successors thereto were to breach the terms of this Section 2.2(d), the Triton Parties shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the AWS Indemnified Parties, in accordance with Article 14, from any and all Losses related to such breach. In addition, the Triton Parties shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the AWS Indemnified Parties, in accordance with Article 14, from any and all Losses caused by the failure by a Purchaser to perform the obligations set forth below (“Purchaser Obligations”). For purposes of this Section 2.2(d), the Purchaser Obligations are: (A) for the year or years in which the Puerto Rico Sale occurs and each subsequent year, no Purchaser shall (i) file any Tax return (including amended Tax returns) in which it reflects or otherwise takes a position that any Puerto Rico Losses carry-over to AWS Network Newco, AWS License Newco or any successor thereto or Affiliates thereof following the consummation of the Transactions or (ii) use any portion of the Puerto Rico Losses in any way in determining the net operating loss deduction of AWS Network Newco, AWS License Newco or any successor thereto or Affiliates thereof, and (B) to the extent the Purchaser files United States or Puerto Rican income Tax returns (including amended Tax returns) for the year or years in which the Transactions occur (or if more appropriate, the year or years immediately thereafter), the Purchaser shall attach to such Tax returns a copy of the Opinion and, if received prior to the filing of such Tax returns, the Ruling. Any claim for indemnification made pursuant to this Section 2.2(d)(iv) must be submitted to the Triton Parties in accordance with Article 14 prior to or at the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

(v) “Purchaser” means any purchaser, transferee or assignee (or successors thereto), including any further purchasers, transferees or assignees (or successors thereto), of Control of AWS Network Newco or AWS License Newco (or any successors thereto) or a majority of the Puerto Rico assets of AWS Network Newco or AWS License Newco (or any successors thereto). “Puerto Rico Sale” means the sale or other transfer, directly or indirectly, of (x) Control of AWS Network Newco, AWS License Newco (or any successors thereto), or (y) a majority of the Puerto Rico assets of AWS Network Newco or AWS License Newco (or any successors thereto).

(b) Neither AWS nor any AWS Contributing Entity is in Default, and, as of the First Closing, AWS Network Newco will not be in Default, in any material respect with respect to, nor to the knowledge of AWS is there any Default in any material respect by the other parties to, any Assumed Multi-Area Contracts or Non-Transferred Multi-Area Subscription Agreements. The Assumed Multi-Area Contracts and the Non-Transferred Multi-Area Subscription Agreements are in full force and effect and are valid, binding and enforceable against AWS or an AWS Contributing Entity and, as of the First Closing, AWS Network Newco, in accordance with their terms.

(c) To the knowledge of AWS, no party to an Assumed Multi-Area Contract or Non-Transferred Multi-Area Subscription Agreement (which party accounts for $100,000 or more annually in business with AWS or an AWS Contributing Entity, excluding for purposes of the application of such threshold, any ground leases and other agreements relating to AWS Cell Sites and AWS Retail Leases) has informed AWS or an AWS Contributing Entity in writing of its intent to cancel or otherwise modify in any material respect, other than in the ordinary course of its relationship with AWS or an AWS Contributing Entity or the Multi-Area Business, or to decrease significantly or limit significantly its purchases, services, supplies or materials under such Assumed Multi-Area Contract or Non-Transferred Multi-Area Subscription Agreement.

accounts that were “active” within the normal practices and procedures of the Multi-Area Business, (v) number of subscribers who represented accounts that were voluntarily suspended by the subscriber or were otherwise currently inactive based on reasons other than the subscriber’s failure to pay an AWS Party for PCS service (e.g., lost or stolen phones), and (vi) number of subscribers who represented accounts that were involuntarily suspended by AWS or an AWS Contributing Entity or Affiliate. Section 8.5(d) of the AWS/Cingular Disclosure Memorandum sets forth, for the Multi-Area Business, the name of each of the price plans presently covering the Transferred Multi-Area Subscribers, together with the number of Transferred Multi-Area Subscribers, as of June 30, 2004, under each such plan. Each subscriber agreement with a Transferred Multi-Area Subscriber provides either (i) that AWS or the relevant AWS Contributing Entity (or its successor, including, following the Closing, Triton or the relevant Triton Contributing Entity) may increase the rates for service upon 30 days’ notice to the customer, in which event the customer may without penalty terminate the agreement, or (ii) that AWS or the relevant AWS Contributing Entity may without penalty terminate the subscriber agreement upon 30 days’ notice.

Section 8.6. Governmental Licenses; FCC Matters

(a) All Material Licenses. AWS or one or more of the AWS Contributing Entities holds, or will hold prior to the Multi-Area Contribution, and, as of the First Closing, AWS Network Newco and AWS License Newco, as applicable, will hold, all licenses, permits and/or certificates of public convenience and necessity issued by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Multi-Area Business, the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations (or, as of the First Closing, the Transferred Multi-Area FCC Authorizations) or any Transferred Multi-Area Assets, which are required in connection with the ownership and operation of the Transferred Multi-Area Assets and the Multi-Area Business, except for such licenses, consents, permits, approvals and authorizations for which the failure to so hold would not be material.

(b) Title to the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations. AWS or one or more of the AWS Contributing Entities has or will acquire good and marketable title to the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations, free and clear of all Liens, except the Permitted Liens. As of the First Closing, AWS Network Newco will have good and marketable title to the Transferred Multi-Area FCC Authorizations (other than the Transferred Multi-Area Licenses), free and clear of all Liens, except the Permitted Liens. As of the First Closing and the Second Closing, AWS License Newco will have good and marketable title to the Transferred Multi-Area Licenses, free and clear of all Liens, except the Permitted Liens.

(c) Validity of Multi-Area FCC Authorizations. The AWS Licensees and the Cingular Licensee have performed all of their material obligations required to have been performed under the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations, and no event has occurred or condition or state of facts exists which constitutes or, after notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a breach of, or default under, any of the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations or which permits or, after notice or lapse of time or both, would permit revocation or termination of any of the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations, or which might adversely affect in any material respect the rights of the AWS Licensees or the Cingular Licensee

- 55

under any of the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations. No notice of cancellation or default or of any dispute concerning any of the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations, or of any event, condition or state of facts described in the preceding clause, has been received by, or is known to, AWS or the AWS Licensees, or to Cingular or the Cingular Licensee, and the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations are valid, existing and in full force and effect. Neither AWS nor the AWS Licensees, and neither Cingular nor the Cingular Licensee, has any reason to believe that the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations are not likely to be renewed in the ordinary course. Subject to the FCC Consent, where applicable, the Transferred Multi-Area FCC Authorizations may be assigned and transferred in accordance with this Agreement and will continue in full force and effect thereafter without the consent, approval, or act of or making of any filing with any Governmental Authority. The Multi-Area Licenses (i) were granted on the grant dates specified on Exhibit B-1 and (ii) expire on the expiration dates specified on Exhibit B-1. The file number and grant date for each applicable construction benchmark notification are also specified on Exhibit B-1. Each AWS Licensee and Cingular Licensee, as the case may be, has submitted to the FCC, on Form 601, a timely notification of its satisfaction of the five-year construction benchmark applicable to each of the Multi-Area Licenses held by it as mandated by 47 C.F.R. § 24.203. The factual assertions of each AWS Licensee and Cingular Licensee in each Form 601 are true and correct in all material respects.

(d) No Violation, Litigation or Regulatory Action.

(i) The AWS Licensees and their Affiliates, and the Cingular Licensee and their Affiliates, have complied in all material respects with all Laws which are applicable to the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations or to the AWS Licensees’ or the Cingular Licensee’s (as the case may be) ownership, operation and holding thereof, including, without limitation, all communications statutes and all rules, regulations or policies of the FCC. The AWS Licensees and the Cingular Licensee are qualified under the FCC Law to hold and convey the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations. To the knowledge of AWS and Cingular, there are no facts or circumstances relating to the FCC qualifications of the AWS Licensees, the Cingular Licensee or any of their Affiliates that would prevent or materially delay the FCC’s grant of any FCC Form 603 (or other appropriate form) application under FCC Law.

(ii) Except as set forth in Section 8.6(d)(ii) of the AWS/Cingular Disclosure Memorandum, other than regulatory proceedings of general applicability or concerning the Merger, there is no investigation, claim, action, suit or other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of AWS and Cingular, threatened against AWS or the AWS Licensees, or against Cingular or the Cingular Licensee, or relating to AWS, the AWS Licensees, Cingular, the Cingular Licensee or their respective assets, including any of the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations, which, individually or collectively, either would reasonably be expected to result in the revocation, cancellation, suspension or material adverse modification of any of the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations, would reasonably be expected to result in fines or forfeitures for noncompliance with FCC rules and regulations (such as environmental or tower marking and lighting rules) with respect to the Multi-Area Business or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (w) any of the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations, (x) the ability of AWS or the

- 56

AWS Licensees, or Cingular or the Cingular Licensee, to perform their obligations hereunder, (y) the FCC Consent or (z) the financial condition, assets, liabilities, business, or results of operations of the AWS Parties or the Cingular Licensee with respect to the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations, nor is any of AWS or the AWS Licensees, or Cingular or the Cingular Licensee, aware of any reasonable basis for any such investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(e) Enhanced-911 (“E911”). Section 8.6(e) of the AWS/Cingular Disclosure Memorandum lists all valid requests for E911 Phase I and Phase II service in the Transferred Multi-Area Markets received by AWS, the AWS Contributing Entities and the Cingular Licensee from a Public Safety Answering Point (“PSAP”), the date such request was received and the status of deployment relating to such request. Except as disclosed in Section 8.6(e) of the AWS/Cingular Disclosure Memorandum, AWS, the AWS Contributing Entities and the Cingular Licensee are in compliance with the FCC’s E911 rules codified at 47 C.F.R. § 20.18 in the Transferred Multi-Area Markets.

(f) Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (“CALEA”). There has been validly and timely filed with both the FBI and the FCC a Flexible Deployment Submission and a Request for Extension, which includes the Transferred Multi-Area Markets, requesting an extension of the Packet-Mode compliance deadlines with respect to the Transferred Multi-Area Markets until June 30, 2005. AWS, the AWS Contributing Entities, and the Cingular Licensee are in compliance with all other CALEA obligations.

(g) Orders; Contracts; Agreements. The execution, delivery and performance by the AWS Parties and Cingular of the Transaction Documents to which they are parties (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations. The Multi-Area FCC Authorizations are not subject to (a) any note, indenture, instrument, agreement, contract, mortgage, lease, license, franchise, permit or other authorization, rights, restriction or obligation to which any AWS Party, Cingular or Cingular Licensee is a party or by which any AWS Party, Cingular or Cingular Licensee, or any of the AWS Parties’, Cingular’s or Cingular Licensee’s assets, are bound, or (b) any judgment, order, writ, injunction, award or decree of any foreign, federal, state, local or other court or tribunal or any award in any arbitration proceeding (collectively, a “Court Order”) to which any AWS Party, Cingular or Cingular Licensee is a party or with respect to which any AWS Party’s Cingular’s or Cingular Licensee’s assets are bound. The AWS Parties, Cingular and Cingular Licensee are not subject to, or in default under, any outstanding Court Order, and, other than the Merger Agreement, there are no contracts or agreements to which any AWS Party, Cingular or Cingular Licensee is a party, which, (in the case of each of the foregoing clauses) individually or collectively, either would reasonably be expected to result in the revocation, cancellation, suspension or adverse modification of any of the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations or would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on (i) any of the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations, (ii) the ability of the AWS Parties, Cingular or Cingular Licensee to perform their obligations hereunder, or (iii) obtaining the FCC Consent.

- 57

(h) FCC Matters. The Multi-Area FCC Authorizations are validly held (or will be prior to the Multi-Area Contribution) in the name of AWS PCS and TeleCorp (collectively, the “AWS Licensees”). Certain of the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations are validly held as of the date hereof by the Affiliate(s) of Cingular identified on Exhibit B-1 (the “Cingular Licensee”). The AWS Licensees are (or will be prior to the Multi-Area Contribution), the exclusive authorized, legal holders of the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations. AWS Network Newco will be, as of the First Closing, the exclusive authorized, legal holder of the Transferred Multi-Area FCC Authorizations (other than the Transferred Multi-Area Licenses). AWS License Newco will be, as of the First Closing and the Second Closing, the exclusive authorized, legal holder of the Transferred Multi-Area Licenses. The Multi-Area FCC Authorizations have been granted by Final Order and authorize, without further consent or authorization from the FCC, the construction and operation of a PCS system in the license areas indicated on Exhibit B-1. The Multi-Area FCC Authorizations are valid and in full force and effect without condition, except those conditions stated on the face of the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations and except conditions applicable to holders of A, C or F Block broadband PCS licenses generally and are unimpaired by any acts or omissions of the AWS Parties or the Cingular Licensee. All material reports, applications, notifications, registrations and other documents required to be filed by the AWS Licensees and the Cingular Licensee with the FCC and with other federal or state regulatory authorities have been timely filed. All applicable regulatory fees and assessments imposed by such regulatory bodies have been timely paid. All such documents and the calculation of such fees are correct in all material respects. Subject to the obtaining of the Required Multi-Area Consents and giving the Required Multi-Area Notices, as applicable, the AWS Licensees and the Cingular Licensee have the absolute and unrestricted right, power and authority under applicable Laws to assign the Transferred Multi-Area FCC Authorizations pursuant to this Agreement.

(i) Microwave Relocation Matters.

(i) Except as disclosed in Section 8.6(i) of the AWS/Cingular Disclosure Memorandum, the AWS Licensees and the Cingular Licensee are not a party to any contract, agreement or understanding, oral or written, providing for the relocation of microwave service providers or the sharing of any costs associated with any such relocation with respect to any of the Transferred Multi-Area FCC Authorizations, and with respect to which either (x) the applicable AWS Licensee or Cingular Licensee has not fully completed performance or (y) the incumbent microwave licensee has not filed with the FCC (and provided to the applicable AWS Licensee or Cingular Licensee the ULS file numbers of) Applications or Notifications on Form 601 to relinquish its rights to the microwave path(s) that are the subject of such agreement.

(ii) To the knowledge of AWS and to the knowledge of Cingular, no microwave relocation activities, actions or efforts are planned or in progress with respect to any of the Transferred Multi-Area FCC Authorizations.

- 58

(j) No Other Agreement. Neither any AWS Party nor Cingular Licensee has entered into any obligation, agreement, arrangement or understanding to sell, transfer, deliver, convey, assign or otherwise dispose of any Multi-Area FCC Authorization or that would affect the post-First Closing ownership or use of any Transferred Multi-Area FCC Authorization by AWS License Newco or the Triton Parties. All amounts currently owed to the FCC in connection with the ownership of the Multi-Area FCC Authorizations have been timely paid, the calculation of all such amounts is accurate in all material respects and no further amounts currently are due to the FCC in respect of any Multi-Area FCC Authorization.

(k) Virginia FCC Authorizations. AWS and the AWS Contributing Entities will be, as of the First Closing, legally qualified to (A) receive and hold indirectly (through acquisition of the Triton Network SMLLC Interest) any Virginia FCC Authorizations, other than the Virginia Licenses, to be acquired hereby and (B) receive any authorization or approval from any Governmental Authority necessary for it to acquire indirectly (through acquisition of the Triton Network SMLLC Interest) any Virginia FCC Authorizations (other than the Virginia Licenses). AWS Network Newco will be, as of the First Closing, legally qualified to be an FCC lessee with respect to the Transferred Multi-Area Licenses pursuant to the Multi-Area Lease.

Section 9.6. Governmental Licenses; FCC Matters

(a) All Material Licenses. Triton or one or more of the Triton Contributing Entities holds and, as of the First Closing, Triton Network SMLLC and Triton License Newco, as applicable, will hold, all licenses, permits and/or certificates of public convenience and necessity issued by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Virginia Business, the Virginia FCC Authorizations or any Transferred Virginia Assets, which are required in connection with the ownership and operation of the Transferred Virginia Assets and the Virginia Business, except for such licenses, consents, permits, approvals and authorizations for which the failure to so hold would not be material.

(b) Title to the Virginia FCC Authorizations. Triton or one or more of the Triton Contributing Entities has good and marketable title to the Virginia FCC Authorizations, free and clear of all Liens, except the Permitted Liens. As of the First Closing, Triton Network SMLLC will have good and marketable title to the Virginia FCC Authorizations (other than the Virginia Licenses), free and clear of all Liens, except the Permitted Liens. As of the First Closing and the Second Closing, Triton License Newco will have good and marketable title to the Virginia Licenses, free and clear of all Liens, except the Permitted Liens.

(c) Validity of Virginia FCC Authorizations. Triton License has performed all of its material obligations required to have been performed under the Virginia FCC Authorizations, and no event has occurred or condition or state of facts exists which constitutes or, after notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a breach of, or default under, any of the Virginia FCC Authorizations or which permits or, after notice or lapse of time or both, would permit revocation or termination of any of the Virginia FCC Authorizations, or which might adversely affect in any material respect the rights of Triton License under any of the Virginia FCC Authorizations. No notice of cancellation or default or of any dispute concerning any of the Virginia FCC Authorizations, or of any event, condition or state of facts described in the preceding clause, has been received by, or is known to, Triton or Triton License, and the Virginia FCC Authorizations are valid, existing and in full force and effect. Neither Triton nor Triton License has any reason to believe that the Virginia FCC Authorizations are not likely to be renewed in the ordinary course. Subject to the FCC Consent, where applicable, the Virginia FCC Authorizations may be assigned and transferred in accordance with this Agreement and will continue in full force and effect thereafter without the consent, approval, or act of or making of any filing with any Governmental Authority. The Virginia Licenses (i) were granted on the grant dates specified on Exhibit A and (ii) expire on the expiration dates specified on Exhibit A. The file number and grant date for each applicable construction benchmark notification are also specified on Exhibit A. Triton License has submitted to the FCC, on Form 601, a timely notification of its satisfaction of the five-year construction benchmark applicable to each of the Virginia Licenses held by it as mandated by 47 C.F.R. § 24.203.

- 74

The factual assertions of Triton License in each Form 601 are true and correct in all material respects.

(d) No Violation, Litigation or Regulatory Action.

(i) Triton License and its Affiliates have complied in all material respects with all Laws which are applicable to the Virginia FCC Authorizations or to Triton License’s ownership, operation and holding thereof, including, without limitation, all communications statutes and all rules, regulations or policies of the FCC. Triton License is qualified under the FCC Law to hold and convey the Virginia FCC Authorizations. To the knowledge of Triton, there are no facts or circumstances relating to the FCC qualifications of Triton License or any of its Affiliates that would prevent or materially delay the FCC’s grant of any FCC Form 603 (or other appropriate form) application under FCC Law.

(ii) Other than regulatory proceedings of general applicability, there is no investigation, claim, action, suit or other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Triton, threatened against Triton or Triton License or relating to Triton, Triton License or their respective assets, including any of the Virginia FCC Authorizations, which, individually or collectively, either would reasonably be expected to result in the revocation, cancellation, suspension or material adverse modification of any of the Virginia FCC Authorizations, would reasonably be expected to result in fines or forfeitures for noncompliance with FCC rules and regulations (such as environmental or tower marking and lighting rules) with respect to the Virginia Business or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (w) any of the Virginia FCC Authorizations, (x) the ability of Triton or Triton License to perform their obligations hereunder, (y) the FCC Consent or (z) the financial condition, assets, liabilities, business, or results of operations of the Triton Parties with respect to the Virginia FCC Authorizations, nor is Triton or Triton License aware of any reasonable basis for any such investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding.

Triton and the Triton Contributing Entities are in compliance with all other CALEA obligations.

- 75

(g) Orders; Contracts; Agreements. The execution, delivery and performance by the Triton Parties of the Transaction Documents to which they are parties (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the Virginia FCC Authorizations. The Virginia FCC Authorizations are not subject to (a) any note, indenture, instrument, agreement, contract, mortgage, lease, license, franchise, permit or other authorization, rights, restriction or obligation to which any Triton Party is a party or by which any Triton Party or any Triton Party’s assets are bound, or (b) any Court Order to which a Triton Party is a party or with respect to which any of the Triton Parties’ assets are bound. The Triton Parties are not subject to, or in default under, any outstanding Court Order, and there are no contracts or agreements to which any of the Triton Parties is a party, which, (in the case of each of the foregoing clauses) individually or collectively, either would reasonably be expected to result in the revocation, cancellation, suspension or adverse modification of any of the Virginia FCC Authorizations or would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on (i) any of the Virginia FCC Authorizations, (ii) the ability of the Triton Parties to perform their obligations hereunder, or (iii) obtaining the FCC Consent.

(h) FCC Matters. The Virginia FCC Authorizations are validly held in Triton License’s name. Triton License is the exclusive authorized, legal holder of the Virginia FCC Authorizations. Triton Network SMLLC will be, as of the First Closing, the exclusive authorized, legal holder of the Virginia FCC Authorizations (other than the Virginia Licenses). Triton License Newco will be, as of the First Closing and the Second Closing, the exclusive authorized, legal holder of the Virginia Licenses. The Virginia FCC Authorizations have been granted by Final Order and authorize, without further consent or authorization from the FCC, the construction and operation of a PCS system in the license areas indicated on Exhibit A. The Virginia FCC Authorizations are valid and in full force and effect without condition, except those conditions stated on the face of the Virginia FCC Authorizations and except conditions applicable to holders of A, B, or C Block broadband PCS licenses generally and are unimpaired by any acts or omissions of the Triton Parties. All material reports, applications, notifications, registrations and other documents required to be filed by Triton License and the Triton Contributing Entities with the FCC and with other federal or state regulatory authorities have been timely filed. All applicable regulatory fees and assessments imposed by such regulatory bodies have been timely paid. All such documents and the calculation of such fees are correct in all material respects. Subject to the obtaining of the Required Virginia Consents and giving the Required Virginia Notices, as applicable, Triton License has the absolute and unrestricted right, power and authority under applicable Laws to assign the Virginia FCC Authorizations pursuant to this Agreement.

(i) Microwave Relocation Matters.

(i) Except as set forth in Section 9.6(i) of the Triton Disclosure Memorandum, Triton License is not a party to any contract, agreement or understanding, oral or written, providing for the relocation of microwave service providers or the sharing of any costs associated with any such relocation with respect to any of the Virginia Licenses, and with respect to which either (x) Triton License has not fully completed performance or (y) the incumbent microwave

- 76

licensee has not filed with the FCC (and provided to Triton License the ULS file numbers of) Applications or Notifications on Form 601 to relinquish its rights to the microwave path(s) that are the subject of such agreement.

(ii) To Triton License’s knowledge, no microwave relocation activities, actions or efforts are planned or in progress with respect to any of the Virginia FCC Authorizations.

(j) No Other Agreement. No Triton Party has entered into any obligation, agreement, arrangement or understanding to sell, transfer, deliver, convey, assign or otherwise dispose of any Virginia FCC Authorization or that would affect the post-First Closing ownership or use of any Virginia FCC Authorization by the AWS Parties or Triton License Newco. All amounts currently owed to the FCC in connection with the ownership of the Virginia FCC Authorizations have been timely paid, the calculation of all such amounts is accurate in all material respects and no further amounts currently are due to the FCC in respect of any Virginia FCC Authorization.

(k) Transferred Multi-Area FCC Authorizations. Triton and the Triton Contributing Entities will be, as of the First Closing, legally qualified to (A) receive and hold indirectly (through acquisition of the AWS Network Newco Interest) any Transferred Multi-Area FCC Authorizations, other than the Transferred Multi-Area Licenses, to be acquired hereby and (B) receive any authorization or approval from any Governmental Authority necessary for it to acquire indirectly (through acquisition of the AWS Network Newco Interest) any Transferred Multi-Area FCC Authorizations (other than the Transferred Multi-Area Licenses). Triton Network SMLLC will be, as of the First Closing, legally qualified to be an FCC lessee with respect to the Virginia Licenses pursuant to the Virginia Lease. Triton License will be, as of the Second Closing, legally qualified to (A) receive and hold indirectly (through acquisition of the AWS License Newco Interest) the Transferred Multi-Area Licenses to be acquired hereby and (B) receive any authorization or approval from any Governmental Authority necessary for it to acquire indirectly (through acquisition of the AWS License Newco Interest) any such Transferred Multi-Area Licenses.

(l) Unjust Enrichment Provisions. The Virginia Licenses are freely transferable to the AWS Parties under the FCC’s rules and are not subject to any installment payment obligations to the U.S. Government or to any of the unjust enrichment provisions applicable to PCS licenses.

Section 14.3. Notice and Defense of Claims

(a) A party claiming indemnification under this ARTICLE 14 (the “Asserting Party”) must promptly notify (in writing and in reasonable detail) the party from which indemnification is sought (the “Defending Party”) of the nature and basis of such claim for indemnification not later than the end of the applicable survival period, if any, set forth in Section 14.5. If such claim relates to a claim, suit, litigation or other action by a third party against the Asserting Party or any Liability to a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Defending Party may elect to assume such Liability and control the defense of the Third Party Claim at its own expense with counsel selected by the Defending Party, if the Defending Party, within 15 days after receiving notice of the Third Party Claim from the Asserting Party, notifies the Asserting Party in writing of the Defending Party’s intention to assume such defense. Assumption of such Liability, as against the Asserting Party, shall not be deemed an admission of liability as against any such third party. If the Defending Party assumes liability for the Third Party Claim as against the Asserting Party and assumes the defense and control of the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 14.3, the Asserting Party may participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim through counsel of its choosing, but the Defending Party shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the Asserting Party incurred thereafter in connection with the Third Party Claim, provided, however, that no Defending Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Asserting Party, consent to the entry of any judgment against the Defending Party or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Asserting Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Asserting Party from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation, provided that this

- 132

requirement shall be deemed waived to the extent that the Asserting Party does not undertake to provide and promptly execute and, concurrently with the delivery of any such release, deliver a corresponding release of the third party claimant with respect to such Third Party Claim, or (ii) includes terms and conditions that adversely affect the Asserting Party; provided further, however, that in the case of clause (ii), the Asserting Party may not unreasonably withhold such consent.

(b) If the Defending Party does not assume liability for, and the defense of, the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 14.3, the Asserting Party shall have the right (a) to control the defense thereof, and (b) if the Asserting Party shall have notified the Defending Party of the Asserting Party’s intention to negotiate a settlement of the Third Party Claim (at the Defending Party’s expense to the extent the matter is determined to be subject to indemnification hereunder), which notice shall include the material terms of any proposed settlement in reasonable detail, the Asserting Party may settle the Third Party Claim (at the Defending Party’s expense to the extent the matter is determined to be subject to indemnification hereunder) on terms not materially inconsistent with those set forth in such notice, unless the Defending Party shall have notified the Asserting Party in writing of the Defending Party’s election to assume Liability for and the defense of the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 14.3 within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, and the Defending Party promptly thereafter shall have taken appropriate action to implement such defense. The Asserting Party shall not be entitled to settle any such Third Party Claim pursuant to the preceding sentence unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Defending Party by the third party claimant on account thereof, provided that such requirement shall be deemed waived to the extent that the Defending Party does not undertake to provide and promptly execute and, concurrently with delivery of any such release, deliver a corresponding release of the third party claimant with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Asserting Party and the Defending Party shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate fully with respect to the defense and settlement of any Third Party Claim covered by this ARTICLE 14.

(c) The failure of any indemnified party to give an indemnifying party a notice of claim shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability in respect of such claim, demand or action which it may have to such indemnified party on account of the indemnity agreement of such indemnifying party contained in this ARTICLE 14, except to the extent such indemnifying party can establish actual prejudice and direct damages as a result thereof.

Section 14.4. Limitations

The Defending Party’s obligations to indemnify the Asserting Party pursuant to this ARTICLE 14 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) No indemnification under Section 14.1 or Section 14.2 shall be required to be made by the Defending Party unless, until and only to the extent that the aggregate amount of the Asserting Party’s Losses exceeds $2,000,000, and then only to the extent of such excess amount; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) any fraud, intentional breach or intentional misrepresentation or willful or intentional

- 133

misconduct, (ii) any breach by Cingular or any AWS Party of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.3(a) and (b), 8.6(b), 8.20 and 8.21 (each, an “AWS Exempt Representation”), or (iii) any breach by any Triton Party of a representation or warranty set forth in 9.1, 9.2, 9.3(a) and (b), 9.6(b), 9.20 and 9.21 (each, a “Triton Exempt Representation”) or claims made pursuant to Section 2.2(d), Section 14.1(c), Section 14.1(d), Section 14.1(e), Section 14.2(c), Section 14.2(d) or Section 14.2(e). For purposes of this Section 14.4(a), the aggregate amount of an “Asserting Party’s Losses” shall be calculated cumulatively as follows: (i) in respect of any Triton Party as an Asserting Party, the Asserting Party’s Losses shall be equal to the aggregate amount of all the Triton Losses, and (ii) in respect of any AWS Party or Cingular as an Asserting Party, the Asserting Party’s Losses shall be equal to the aggregate amount of all the AWS Losses.

(b) The aggregate liability of the Defending Party under Section 14.1 or Section 14.2, as applicable, shall not exceed $100,000,000, provided, that, for purposes of applying the foregoing limitation, (y) the Triton Parties shall be deemed a single Defending Party so that their joint aggregate liability shall not exceed the foregoing limitation; and (z) the AWS Parties and Cingular shall be deemed a single Defending Party so that their joint aggregate liability shall not exceed the foregoing limitation; and provided further, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) any fraud, intentional breach or misrepresentation or willful or intentional misconduct, (ii) any breach by Cingular or any AWS Party of an AWS Exempt Representation, (iii) any breach by any Triton Party of a Triton Exempt Representation or (iv) claims made pursuant to Section 2.2(d), Section 14.1(c), Section 14.1(d), Section 14.1(e), Section 14.2(c), Section 14.2(d) or Section 14.2(e).

(c) The indemnification obligation of a Defending Party shall be reduced to the extent of any available insurance proceeds payable to the Asserting Party, net of any increased insurance premiums becoming payable by the Asserting Party to the extent such increase is a direct result of such insurance proceeds becoming available. The Defending Party shall pay its indemnification obligations as and when required by this ARTICLE 14 and the Asserting Party shall refund to the Defending Party any such amounts determined to be in excess of the Defending Party’s obligations due to reductions pursuant to this Section 14.4(c). Additionally, the Asserting Party shall refund promptly to the Defending Party any amount of the Asserting Party’s Losses that are subsequently recovered by the Asserting Party pursuant to a settlement or otherwise.

(d) Except with respect to fraud, intentional breach or misrepresentation or willful or intentional misconduct, and the parties’ obligations to make payments pursuant to Section 6.3, from and after the First Closing Date, the indemnification rights contained in this ARTICLE 14 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties hereunder, and shall supersede and displace all other rights that either party may have under Law, with respect to any breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the parties in this Agreement or in any certificate, Disclosure Memorandum, statement, document or instrument furnished hereunder or in connection with the execution and performance of this Agreement.

- 134

(e) In no event will a Triton Indemnified Party or an AWS Indemnified Party be entitled (i) to recover for any claim for indemnification hereunder for which the aggregate Triton Losses or AWS Losses, as the case may be, do not exceed $25,000, (ii) to aggregate any such indemnification claims below $25,000; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of all claims in excess of $25,000 exceeds $1,500,000, then any additional claim below such $25,000 amount shall be counted in determining the $2,000,000 threshold set forth in Section 14.4(a), or (iii) to otherwise submit such items as indemnification claims reimbursable pursuant to this Article 14.

Section 14.5. Survival of Representations and Warranties

All representations and warranties made by the parties in this Agreement or in any certificate, Disclosure Memorandum, statement, document or instrument furnished hereunder shall survive for a period lasting 12 months after First Closing, except that (a) any intentional breach or misrepresentation or fraud shall survive First Closing indefinitely, (b) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8.10, 8.11, 9.10 and 9.11 shall survive for a period lasting four years, and (c) all other AWS Exempt Representations and Triton Exempt Representations shall survive First Closing indefinitely. Any claim by a party based upon breach of any such representation or warranty made pursuant to ARTICLE 14 or otherwise must be submitted to the other party prior to or at the expiration of the applicable survival period, along with a reasonably detailed written explanation of the specifics of such breach. In the case of any claim submitted within such time period, the right of the party submitting the claim to recover from the other party with respect to such claim shall not be dependent on the claim being resolved or the losses being incurred within such time period. The right to indemnification hereunder shall not be affected by any investigation or audit conducted before or after the First Closing Date or the actual or constructive knowledge of any party and each party shall be entitled to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein regardless of any such investigation or knowledge. The waiver of any condition regarding the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or regarding the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right of indemnification or any other remedy of the waiving party after First Closing based on the inaccuracy of such representation or warranty or the nonperformance of or noncompliance with such covenant or obligation. The time limits set forth in this Section 14.5 are only applicable to claims based on a breach of the representations and warranties. For the avoidance of doubt, claims made pursuant to Section 2.2(d), Section 14.1(c), Section 14.1(d), Section 14.1(e), Section 14.2(c), Section 14.2(d) or Section 14.2(e) shall not be deemed claims based upon a breach of a representation and warranty subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 14.5.

Section 14.6. Payment

Upon a determination of Liability under this ARTICLE 14, the appropriate party shall pay the indemnified party the amount so determined within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such determination. If there should be a dispute as to the amount or manner of determination of any indemnity obligation owed under this Agreement, the

- 135

party from which indemnification is due shall nevertheless pay when due such portion, if any, of the obligation as shall not be subject to dispute.

ARTICLE 15

CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRESS RELEASES

Section 15.1. Confidentiality

Subject to Section 15.2, the Information Exchange Agreement dated as of April 14, 2004 by and among Triton, AWS and Cingular (the “NDA”) shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms.

Section 15.2. Press Releases

No party to this Agreement will issue any press release or make any other public announcements concerning this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby except with the prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the other parties; provided, however, that if any such disclosure is required by any applicable Legal Requirements or the rules or regulations of any securities exchange, such consent shall not be required, but, in such circumstances no party hereto will make such disclosure without first providing to the other parties an advance copy of any such disclosure and a reasonable opportunity to review and comment, to the extent practicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and issue a joint press release with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 16

TERMINATION

Section 16.1. Breaches and Defaults; Opportunity to Cure

Prior to the exercise by a party of any termination rights afforded under Section 16.2(c) or Section 16.2(d) of this Agreement, other than a termination for breach of Section 10.11, if either (i) Cingular or any AWS Party, on the one hand, or (ii) any Triton Party, on the other hand (the “Non-Breaching Party”), believes the other (the “Breaching Party”) to be in breach hereunder, the Non-Breaching Party shall provide the Breaching Party with written notice specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such breach, whereupon if such breach is curable, the Breaching Party shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of such notice to cure such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of the Non-Breaching Party; provided, however, that the cure period for a breach shall in no event extend beyond the Outside Date. If the breach is not cured within such time period, then the Breaching Party shall be in default hereunder and the Non-Breaching Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement (as provided in Section 16.2). This right of termination shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights of the Non-Breaching Party under ARTICLE 14 of this Agreement.

- 136

Section 16.2. Termination

This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned, by written notice given to the other party, at any time prior to the First Closing:

(a) by mutual written consent of AWS, Cingular and Triton;

(b) by either AWS, Cingular or Triton, if any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States or other United States Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Network Exchange (in either case, which AWS, Cingular and Triton shall have used all commercially reasonable efforts to have lifted or reversed) and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable;

(c) subject to Section 16.1, by Triton, if, as of any date, any AWS Party or Cingular shall have breached any of its representations, warranties or covenants such that the condition set forth in Section 11.1(a) shall not be satisfied as of such date;

(d) subject to Section 16.1, by AWS or Cingular, if, as of any date, any Triton Party shall have breached any of its representations, warranties or covenants such that the condition set forth in Section 12.1(a) shall not be satisfied as of such date;

(e) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, and in the sole discretion of the terminating party, by either AWS or Cingular, on the one hand, or Triton, on the other hand, if the First Closing shall not have occurred on or before the date that is the later to occur of (i) 60 days from the date of this Agreement or (ii) 30 days from the date of consummation of the Merger (the “Outside Date”); provided that either AWS or Cingular, on the one hand, and Triton, on the other hand, shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the other party, to extend the Outside Date by 10 days in the event that, on the Outside Date, the only remaining unfulfilled conditions precedent are any of the first three sentences of Sections 11.1(b) and 12.1(b) and the non-fulfillment of such conditions precedent is attributable to delay by the FCC in the processing of the filings described in Sections 10.2(a)(i) or (ii);

(f) by any party to this Agreement, if the Merger Agreement is terminated;

(g) by any party to this Agreement if any Commercial Agreement (other than the License Exchange Agreement) has been terminated. For the avoidance of doubt, the status or pendency of that certain arbitration initiated by Triton and AWS PCS in accordance with that certain letter agreement dated July 7, 2004 shall not provide a party with the right to terminate any Commercial Agreement or this Agreement; or

(h) by Cingular, as provided in Section 16.2(h) of the AWS/Cingular Disclosure Memorandum.

- 137

Section 16.3. Effect of Termination.

In the event of termination of this Agreement by any party, except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this Section 16.3, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate without any liability of any party to any other party (except for any liability of any party then in willful breach of its covenants, representations or warranties hereunder). The provisions of this Section 16.3, ARTICLE 14, and ARTICLE 18 shall expressly survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that this Agreement is terminated by any party pursuant to Section 16.1 or 16.2 and the Merger Agreement is terminated, no party shall be liable to any other party hereto for any damages, costs or expenses related to its default or breach in any of its obligations, representations or warranties or for any other reason under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents other than liabilities arising out of a breach of the covenants contained in Section 10.11.

ARTICLE 17

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 17.1. Hierarchy of Dispute Resolution Procedures. For purposes of this Article 17, Cingular and the AWS Parties shall be treated as separate unrelated parties prior to the consummation of the Merger, and as of the consummation of the Merger as a single party, and the Triton Parties shall be treated as a single party. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 2.2(b), Section 6.2(c), this Article 17 or any other provision hereof that contemplates specific dispute resolution procedures, any dispute, controversy or claim whether based on contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory between a party and/or any Affiliate thereof, on the one hand, and any other party and/or any Affiliate thereof on the other hand, that is asserted pursuant to an Arbitration Demand (as defined below) delivered after the First Closing out of or relating to this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any obligations or related services to be provided hereunder or thereunder (a “Dispute”), shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures described in this Article 17. In the case of a Dispute, the parties agree to establish an internal hierarchy to facilitate resolution of any such Dispute as set forth below.

(a) Upon written request of any party, each party shall appoint a designated representative whose task it will be to meet for the purpose of endeavoring to resolve such Dispute. Such written request shall constitute notice to the other party of the Dispute. The written notice shall include a description of the Dispute and shall be sent to the other party via facsimile and first class mail. The designated representatives shall meet as often as the parties reasonably deem necessary to discuss the Dispute in an effort to resolve the Dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding. The parties’ designated representatives shall have their first meeting, pursuant to this subsection, within ten Business Days from receipt of the written request for such meeting.

(b) In the event that such representatives are unable to resolve the Dispute within 20 Business Days after the Dispute is submitted to them, as described above in

- 138

Section 17.1(a), or if after at least two meetings and ten Business Days following the submission either party determines in good faith that such representatives are unlikely to be able to resolve such matter, the Dispute shall be immediately referred by written notice to an executive officer of each of such parties for consideration. In the event that such executive officers are unable to resolve such Dispute within 10 Business Days after the Dispute is submitted to them, then the Dispute shall be submitted to the chief executive officers of Cingular and Triton. If the chief executive officers are unable to resolve such Dispute within ten Business Days after the Dispute is submitted to them, then the Dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration as set forth below. Notwithstanding the 10 Business Day and 20 Business Day periods specified above for attempts to resolve a Dispute by the applicable representatives or officers of the parties at a particular level, if one party at any time wishes to accelerate the interparty dispute resolution process by referring the Dispute to a higher level prior to the end of such stated time period, the other party shall endeavor in good faith to accommodate such request so long as its interests are not materially prejudiced by such acceleration.

Section 17.2. Arbitration.

(a) If the parties are unable to resolve any Dispute as contemplated by Section 17.1, such Dispute shall be submitted to mandatory and binding arbitration at the election of either party, for itself or its related Affiliate (the “Disputing Party”). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 17.2, the arbitration shall be administered by JAMS – The Resolution Experts and conducted pursuant to the JAMS Rules and the procedures specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that, to the extent the procedures set forth herein conflict with, modify or add to the JAMS Rules, the procedures set forth herein shall govern. The arbitration will be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the Arbitrator (as hereinafter defined) may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(b) To initiate the arbitration, the Disputing Party shall notify the other party(ies) in writing (the “Arbitration Demand”), which Arbitration Demand shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Dispute, (ii) state the amount of the claim, and (iii) specify the requested relief. Within 15 days after the other party’s receipt of the Arbitration Demand, such other party shall file, and serve on the Disputing Party, a written statement (x) answering the claims set forth in the Arbitration Demand and setting forth any affirmative defenses of such Party, and (y) if the other party elects to do so, asserting a counterclaim or counterclaims, which shall (A) describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Dispute relating to the counterclaim, (B) state the amount of the counterclaim, and (C) specify the requested relief. Within 15 days after the Disputing Party’s receipt of the other party’s written statement, the Disputing Party shall file, and serve on the other party, a written statement responding to the other party’s responses, counterclaim and affirmative defenses, if any.

(c) The arbitration will be heard by a panel of one arbitrator chosen pursuant to the JAMS Rules (the “Arbitrator”). The Arbitrator shall be impartial as evidenced, for example, by the fact that he shall not have been employed by or affiliated with any of the parties or any of their respective Affiliates, and shall possess substantial accounting,

- 139

legal, telecommunications, business or other professional experience relevant to the issues in dispute in the arbitration as stated in the Arbitration Demand. Within 45 days - except as modified by order of the Arbitrator after selection of the Arbitrator, a hearing shall be held on such date in Washington, D.C. In the event that the parties cannot agree on a date or a location for the hearing within Washington, D.C., the Arbitrator shall make those choices. The Arbitrator shall rule on the Dispute within 20 days after the hearing and shall prepare and distribute to the parties by that deadline a writing setting forth the Arbitrator’s finding of facts and conclusions of law relating to the Dispute, including the reasons for the giving or denial of any award. The findings and conclusions and the award, if any, shall be deemed to be information subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Article 15 of this Agreement. The Arbitrator shall have the authority and jurisdiction to decide any and all issues, including whether such issue falls within the ambit of this Article 17, provided that the Arbitrator shall not have the authority to decide issues which are not expressly subject to the arbitration provisions of this Article 17 or which are not subject to arbitration pursuant to the JAMS Rules. The parties consent and submit to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware for enforcement of any arbitration award or other order/ruling by the Arbitrator.

(d) The arbitration proceedings and all evidence, testimony, filings, documents and information relating to or presented during the arbitration proceedings shall be deemed to be information subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Article 15 of this Agreement. The Arbitrator will have no power or authority, under the JAMS Rules or otherwise, to relieve the parties from their agreement hereunder to arbitrate or otherwise to amend or disregard any provision of this Agreement, including the provisions of this Article 17.

(e) The Arbitrator is instructed to schedule promptly all discovery and other procedural steps and otherwise to assume case management initiative and control to effect an efficient and expeditious resolution of the Dispute. The Arbitrator is authorized to issue monetary sanctions against either party if, upon a showing of good cause, such party is acting in bad faith and unreasonably delaying the proceeding.

(f) Any award rendered by the Arbitrator will be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties and any judgment hereon may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(g) The Arbitrator shall have the power and authority to order either temporary or permanent injunctive relief and to order specific performance of any obligation contained in this Agreement, if the Arbitrator finds, under applicable law, that such relief is appropriate.

Section 17.3. Judicial Procedure.

The parties agree and acknowledge that Sections 17.1 and 17.2 hereof relate solely to the resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim that is asserted pursuant to an Arbitration Demand delivered after the First Closing; provided, however, that the arbitration provisions of Sections 17.1 and 17.2 shall not apply with respect to the

- 140

resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim that relates to (i) the obligations of the parties to effect the Second Closing, including without limitation whether any of the conditions set forth in Sections 11.2 and 12.2 have been satisfied or (ii) the Spectrum Manager Lease Agreements (collectively referred to herein as the “Second Closing Matters”). Nothing in this Article 17 shall be construed to (a) limit or prevent any rights or remedies of a party with respect to matters arising at or prior to the First Closing or with respect to Second Closing Matters, including the right of any party to seek relief from a court prior to or after the First Closing (including specific performance) with respect to a matter arising at or before the First Closing or with respect to Second Closing Matters arising at, before or after the First Closing, or (b) prevent any party from seeking from a court a temporary restraining order or other temporary or preliminary injunctive or other provisional relief pending final resolution of a Dispute pursuant to Sections 17.1 and 17.2. In addition, nothing in this Article 17 shall be construed to prevent a party from instituting judicial proceedings at any time to avoid the expiration of any applicable limitations period or to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors.

Section 17.4. Obligation to Continue Performance Pending Resolution of a Dispute.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article, the parties agree to the extent reasonably practicable to continue performing, and to cause their respective Affiliates to continue performing, their respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to the extent reasonably practicable pending the resolution of any Dispute that is being resolved under this Article 17 unless and until such obligations are terminated or expire in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or such Transaction Documents, unless such continued performance shall be forbidden or restricted by a court, arbitrator or other tribunal.

ARTICLE 18
