Capitalized terms not defined in this Introduction shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Article II hereof. The Plan represents a global settlement of all Intercompany Claims and Intercompany Transfer Litigation Claims between the Debtors, the current and former Holders of Old Vendor Debt (in their capacity as such Holders), the current and former administrative agents under the Vendor Debt Facilities (in their capacity as such agents) and Holders of Leap General Unsecured Claims (in their capacity as such Holders), and is the product of months of investigation and negotiations among the foregoing parties (and the Leap Informal Noteholder Committee prior to the appointment of the Leap Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors). As a result of the foregoing settlement, the Debtors have been able to file the Plan - which provides for the preservation of the Debtors as viable going-concern businesses - and expect to confirm the Chapter 11 Cases on an expedited timetable. On the other hand, without the settlement memorialized in the Plan (and described in greater detail in the Disclosure Statement), the Chapter 11 Cases could deteriorate into free-fall chapter 11 cases and Holders of Allowed Claims and Interests would receive distributions (if any) only after the conclusion of lengthy and expensive complex litigation. Those distributions, moreover, would be reduced substantially due to the likely deterioration of the value of the Debtors during prolonged Chapter 11 Cases and the millions of dollars in legal and expert fees which would be incurred to litigate the Intercompany Claims and Intercompany Transfer Litigation Claims. In sum, the Plan provides for a reorganization of the Debtors under Reorganized Leap. However, Reorganized Leap will not retain the Leap General Unsecured Claim Cash Distribution or the assets being transferred to the Leap Creditor Trust, or be subject to any claims against or Interests in Leap that are being discharged under the Plan. Specifically, the means of executing and implementing the Plan are as follows: On the Effective Date, (i) the Old License Holding Company Common Stock will be cancelled and each Reorganized License Holding Company will issue to Reorganized Leap 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of New License Holding Company Common Stock, (ii) the Old Other Subsidiary Common Stock will be cancelled and each Reorganized Other Subsidiary will issue to Reorganized Leap 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Other Subsidiary Common Stock, and (iii) the Old Property Holding Company Common Stock will be cancelled and each Reorganized Property Holding Company will issue to Reorganized Cricket 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Property Holding Company Common Stock. Also on the Effective Date, (i) the Old Leap Common Stock will be cancelled, (ii) Reorganized Leap will issue and contribute 96.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Leap Common Stock to CCH, (iii) Reorganized Leap will contribute all of the New License Holding Company Common Stock to CCH, and (iv) CCH will contribute all of such New Leap Common Stock and New License Company Common Stock to Reorganized Cricket. Following such contributions, on the Effective Date, CCH will be merged with and into Cricket Communications, Inc. in a "tax-free" reorganization in compliance with Section 368(a)(1)(G) of the Internal Revenue Code, pursuant to which the Old CCH Common Stock will be converted into 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Cricket Common Stock. As a result, Reorganized Leap will own 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Reorganized Cricket and each of the Reorganized Other Subsidiaries, and Reorganized Cricket will own 100% of the 4 issued and outstanding shares of each of the Reorganized License Holding Companies, 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of each of the Reorganized Property Holding Companies and, temporarily until the distribution thereof to the Holders of Old Vendor Debt Claims, 96.5% of the New Leap Common Stock. On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the Holders of Old Vendor Debt Claims will receive from Cricket, on a Pro Rata basis, 96.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Leap Common Stock and New Senior Notes aggregating $350 million in principal amount. On the Initial Distribution Date, and notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date: (a) Holders of Allowed Leap General Unsecured Claims, including the Holders of Old Leap Notes, will receive, on a Pro Rata basis, beneficial interests in the Leap Creditor Trust; (b) the Leap Creditor Trust will receive the Leap General Unsecured Claim Cash Distribution; and (c) Holders of Allowed 12 -1/2% Senior Secured Claims will receive, on a Pro Rata basis, the 12 -1/2% Senior Secured Claim Distribution (approximately $200,000). In addition, on the later of the Effective Date and the Initial Distribution Date, Reorganized Leap will issue and transfer (as applicable) to the Leap Creditor Trust: (a) the Leap Creditor Trust Assets for subsequent sale and Distribution of the proceeds to the Leap General Unsecured Creditors; and (b) 3.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Leap Common Stock as of the Effective Date for Distribution to the Leap General Unsecured Creditors. Following the Effective Date, after the satisfaction of all Allowed Administrative Claims and Allowed Priority Claims against Leap and the resolution of all Disputed Administrative Claims and Disputed Priority Claims against Leap, any remaining Cash held in reserve by Reorganized Leap will be distributed to the Leap Creditor Trust. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, if any Leap Creditor Trust Assets are converted to Cash on or after the Initial Distribution Date but prior to the Effective Date, the Cash proceeds shall be transferred to the Leap Creditor Trust as soon as practicable upon such monetization, notwithstanding the fact that the Effective Date has not occurred. In accordance with the negotiated settlement between the Leap Informal Noteholder Committee and the Informal Vendor Debt Committee leading to the Plan, all other assets of Leap that are not specifically defined as Leap Creditor Trust Assets in the Plan will not be transferred to the Leap Creditor Trust and will remain with Reorganized Leap, including for example only, office furniture, fixtures, equipment and supplies; Leap intellectual property, including the "Leap" trademark; retirement plan assets; and an inter-company payable from Cricket which is being released under the Plan. Holders of Old Leap Common Stock will receive nothing on account of their Interests. THE PLAN IS THE PRODUCT OF NEGOTIATIONS AMONG THE DEBTORS, THE INFORMAL VENDOR DEBT COMMITTEE, THE INFORMAL NOTEHOLDER COMMITTEE (PRIOR TO THE APPOINTMENT OF THE OFFICIAL COMMITTEE) AND THE OFFICIAL COMMITTEE. THE DEBTORS BELIEVE THE PLAN REPRESENTS THE BEST POSSIBLE RETURN TO HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS AND URGE SUCH HOLDERS TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE PLAN. 5 THE INFORMAL VENDOR DEBT COMMITTEE URGES HOLDERS OF OLD VENDOR DEBT TO READ THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AND VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE PLAN. THE OFFICIAL COMMITTEE URGES HOLDERS OF LEAP GENERAL UNSECURED CLAIMS TO READ THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AND VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE PLAN. ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ THE PLAN AND THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE VOTING TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN. NO MATERIALS, OTHER THAN THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AND THE EXHIBITS AND SCHEDULES ATTACHED THERETO OR REFERENCED THEREIN, HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE DEBTORS FOR USE IN SOLICITING ACCEPTANCES OR REJECTIONS OF THE PLAN. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all statements in the Plan and the accompanying Disclosure Statement concerning the history of the Debtors' businesses, the past or present financial condition of the Debtors, transactions to which the Debtors were or are party, or the effect of Confirmation of the Plan on Holders of Claims and Interests are attributable exclusively to the Debtors and not to any other party.

GENERAL PROVISIONS FOR TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS SECTION 3.01 UNCLASSIFIED CLAIMS (APPLICABLE TO ALL DEBTORS) (a) Administrative Claims. (i) General. 44 Subject to (x) the bar date provisions herein and (y) additional requirements for professionals and certain other entities set forth below, each of the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall pay to each Holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim, on account of its Administrative Claim and in full satisfaction thereof, Cash equal to the Allowed amount of such Administrative Claim on the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, unless the Holder agrees or shall have agreed to other treatment of such Claim. Payment on an Administrative Claim which arose in the ordinary course of each Debtor's business will not be made until such payment would have become due in the ordinary course of each Debtor's business or under the terms of the Claim in the absence of the Chapter 11 Cases. (ii) Payment Of Statutory Fees. On or before the Effective Date, all fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1930 shall be paid in Cash equal to the amount of such Administrative Claim. The Debtors will pay quarterly fees to the U.S. Trustee until entry of a final decree. In addition, the Debtors will file post-Confirmation quarterly reports in conformance with the U.S. Trustee Guidelines. The U.S. Trustee shall not be required to File a request for payment of its quarterly fees, which will be deemed Administrative Claims against the Debtors and their Estates. (iii) Bar Date For Administrative Claims. 1) General Provisions. Except for Administrative Claims of professionals requesting compensation or reimbursement of expenses, which are addressed in Section 3.01(a)(iii)(2) below, and except as otherwise provided below, for (i) non-tax liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business by each Debtor in Possession and (ii) Postpetition Tax Claims, requests for payment of Administrative Claims must be Filed and served on counsel for each of the Reorganized Debtors no later than (x) thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, or (y) such later date, if any, as the Court shall order upon application made prior to the end of such 30-day period. Holders of Administrative Claims (including, without limitation, the Holders of any Claims for federal, state or local taxes, but excluding claims of professionals requesting compensation or reimbursement of expenses) that are required to File a request for payment of such Claims and that do not File such requests by the applicable bar date shall be forever barred from asserting such Claims against any of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors or any of their respective properties. 2) Professionals. (A) All professionals or other Persons requesting compensation or reimbursement of expenses pursuant to any of sections 327, 328, 330, 331, 503(b) and 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code for services rendered on or before the Effective Date (including, inter alia, any compensation requested by any professional or any other Person for making a substantial contribution in the Bankruptcy Cases) shall File and serve on each of the Reorganized Debtors, the Informal Vendor Debt Committee and the Official Committee (or, if the Official 45 Committee has disbanded, the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee) an application for final allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses no later than (i) sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, or (ii) such later date as the Court shall order upon application made prior to the end of such 60-day period. All compensation and reimbursement of expenses for professionals incurred by or on behalf of Leap shall be paid for by Leap. All compensation and reimbursement of expenses for professionals incurred by or on behalf of Debtors other than Leap shall be paid for by Cricket. (B) Objections to applications of professionals or other Persons for compensation or reimbursement of expenses must be Filed and served on the Reorganized Debtors, counsel for the Reorganized Debtors, the Informal Vendor Debt Committee, the Official Committee (or, if the Official Committee has disbanded, the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee) and the professionals to whose application the objections are addressed on or before (i) sixty (60) days after such application is Filed and served or (ii) such later date as the Court shall order upon application made prior to the end of such 60-day period or upon agreement between the Reorganized Debtors and the affected professional. (C) On or prior to the Confirmation Date, each professional seeking compensation or reimbursement under section 327, 328, 330, 331, 503(b), or 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code shall provide the Reorganized Debtors, the Informal Vendor Debt Committee and the Official Committee with a non-binding, written estimate of the amount of its requested compensation and reimbursement through the Effective Date. On the Effective Date, Reorganized Cricket shall establish a reserve for professionals providing services to Debtors other than Leap (the "Professional Claims Reserve") in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of such estimated compensation or reimbursements, unless otherwise previously paid by the Debtors. The funds in the Professional Claims Reserve shall be used solely for the payment of Allowed professional fee claims for professionals providing services to Debtors other than Leap. If an applicable professional fails to submit an estimate 46 of its fees in accordance with this section, the Reorganized Debtors shall not pay such professional's Allowed professional fee claim from the Professional Claims Reserve but rather shall pay such claim from any other source available to such Reorganized Debtors. The foregoing notwithstanding, if an applicable professional submits a non-binding, written estimate of his or her fees and reimbursable expenses in accordance with this section, under no circumstances shall such submission be construed to limit the source of such professional's compensation and reimbursement solely to the funds set aside in the Professional Claims Reserve, nor shall such submission be construed as a maximum or cap on the amount of compensation and expense reimbursement ultimately payable to such professional. (D) Any professional fees and reimbursements or expenses incurred by the Reorganized Debtors subsequent to the Effective Date may be paid by the Reorganized Debtors without application to or Order of the Court. The costs of the Leap Creditor Trust, including without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee and any professionals retained by the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee, shall be borne entirely by the Leap Creditor Trust. (iv) Reserve for Leap Administrative and Priority Claims. In connection with the Leap General Unsecured Claim Cash Distribution, prior to the Initial Distribution Date, Leap shall establish an appropriate reserve in an amount to be agreed upon by Leap and the Official Committee, to satisfy Allowed Administrative Claims against Leap through and including the Effective Date (including Claims for compensation and reimbursement of expenses by professionals providing services to Leap) and Allowed Priority Claims against Leap. If and to the extent that such reserves are insufficient to satisfy all such Allowed Administrative Claims against Leap and Allowed Priority Claims against Leap, such Claims shall be satisfied by assets transferred or transferable to the Leap Creditor Trust that have not then been distributed to holders of beneficial interests in the Leap Creditor Trust. Following the Effective Date, after the satisfaction of all Allowed Administrative Claims and Allowed Priority Claims against Leap and the resolution of all Disputed Administrative Claims and Disputed Priority Claims against Leap, any remaining Cash held in the reserve of Reorganized Leap will be distributed to the Leap Creditor Trust. Under no circumstances shall Reorganized Leap, Cricket or any other Debtor or Reorganized Debtor be liable in any way for any Claims against Leap, including such Allowed Administrative Claims and Allowed Priority Claims. 47 (v) Reserve for Cricket Companies' Administrative and Priority Claims. Prior to the Confirmation Date, Cricket shall establish an appropriate reserve in an amount to be agreed upon by Cricket and the Informal Vendor Debt Committee, to satisfy Allowed Administrative Claims against Cricket and the other Cricket companies through and including the Effective Date (including Claims for compensation and reimbursement of expenses by professionals providing services) and Allowed Priority Claims against Cricket and the other Cricket companies. If and to the extent that such reserves are insufficient to satisfy all such Allowed Administrative Claims and Allowed Priority Claims, such Claims shall be satisfied by other assets of Cricket. Following the Effective Date, after the satisfaction of all Allowed Administrative Claims and Allowed Priority Claims and the resolution of all Disputed Administrative Claims and Disputed Priority Claims, any remaining Cash held in the reserve of Reorganized Cricket will become available to Reorganized Cricket for use in its discretion. Under no circumstances shall Leap or the Leap Creditor Trust be liable in any way for any Claims against non-Leap Debtors, including any such Allowed Administrative Claims and Allowed Priority Claims. Nothing contained herein shall diminish the reserve established for cure amounts set forth in Section 4.01 hereof. (vi) Reserve for Disputed Old Vendor Debt Claims. Prior to the Effective Date, Cricket shall establish a reserve in respect of each Disputed Old Vendor Debt Claim, by holding back that portion of the Old Vendor Debt Distribution that would be distributed in respect of each such Disputed Old Vendor Debt Claim as if such Claim was an Allowed Claim on the Effective Date, until such Disputed Claim is resolved. If the resolution of a Disputed Old Vendor Debt Claim results in such Claim becoming an Allowed Old Vendor Debt Claim, that portion of the Old Vendor Debt Distribution held back in respect of such Claim shall be Distributed (to the extent of the Allowed portion of such Old Vendor Debt Claim) to the Holder thereof as promptly as practicable. Following the Effective Date, after the resolution of all such Disputed Old Vendor Debt Claims, any remaining Reorganized Leap Common Stock or New Senior Notes held in the reserve of Reorganized Cricket shall be distributed to the Holders of Allowed Old Vendor Debt Claims on a Pro Rata basis. 3) Ordinary Course Liabilities. Holders of Administrative Claims based on liabilities incurred post-petition in the ordinary course of the Debtors' business (other than Claims of governmental units for taxes or Claims and/or penalties related to such taxes) shall not be required to File any request for payment of such Claims. Such Administrative Claims shall be assumed and paid by Reorganized Debtors, as appropriate, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the particular transaction giving rise to such Administrative Claim, without any further action by the Holders of such Claims. 4) Tax Claims. All requests for payment of Postpetition Tax Claims, for which no bar date has otherwise been previously established, must be Filed on or before the later of (i) sixty (60) days following the Effective Date; and (ii) 120 days following the filing of the tax return for such 48 taxes for such tax year or period with the applicable governmental unit. Any Holder of any Postpetition Tax Claim that is required to File a request for payment of such taxes and that does not File such a Claim by the applicable bar date shall be forever barred from asserting any such Postpetition Tax Claim against any of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, or any of their respective properties, whether any such Postpetition Tax Claim is deemed to arise prior to, on, or subsequent to, the Effective Date. The Debtors are paying all Postpetition Tax Claims as they come due; however, certain taxing authorities conduct audits which may result in a postpetition tax liability of which the Debtors are currently unaware. The administrative expense claim filed by the Internal Revenue Service against Cricket in the amount of $240,619.20 (the "IRS Claim") shall be allowed as an administrative expense claim under 11 U.S.C. Section 503(b) and paid on the later of the Effective Date of the Plan or the date such claim is due in the ordinary course of business unless the Debtors object to the IRS Claim within 30 days from entry of the Confirmation Order; provided that to the extent the IRS Claim falls under Section 507(a)(8), the Debtors reserve their rights to treat the claim accordingly. (b) Treatment Of Priority Tax Claims. Except as otherwise agreed to by the Reorganized Debtors and the applicable taxing agency, the Reorganized Debtors, as appropriate, shall pay to each Holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim deferred Cash payments, over a period not exceeding six years from the date of assessment of such Claim, in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim, plus interest from the Effective Date on the unpaid portion of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim (without penalty of any kind) at the rate prescribed below. Payment of the amount of each such Allowed Priority Tax Claim shall be made in equal semiannual installments payable on June 1 and December 1, with the first installment due on June 1 or December 1 after the latest of: (a) the Effective Date, (b) 30 days after the date on which an Order allowing such Priority Tax Claim becomes a Final Order, and (c) such other time or times as may be agreed to by the Holder of such Claim and the applicable Reorganized Debtor. Each installment shall include interest on the unpaid portion of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim, without penalty of any kind, at the rate of 8 1/4% per annum or as otherwise established by the Court; provided, however, that the Reorganized Debtors, as appropriate, shall have the right to pay any Allowed Priority Tax Claim, or any remaining balance of such Claim, in full, at any time on or after the Effective Date, without premium or penalty of any kind.

Leap currently believes that, as of the Petition Date, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Travelers Casualty & Surety Co. of America and GE Capital Financial held certificates of deposit or money market funds to secure obligations under letters of credit, surety bonds and employee credit cards, respectively. Leap expects that the claims of the foregoing Class 2A, 2B and 2C members shall be Reinstated. Leap Class 2A, 2B and 2C Claims are Unimpaired and shall be deemed to have voted to accept the Plan. This Class will be further divided into subclasses designated by letters of the alphabet (CLASS 2D, CLASS 2E, and so on), so that each Holder of any Secured Claim is in a Class by itself, except to the extent that there are Secured Claims that are substantially similar to each other and may be included within a single Class. Each Allowed Secured Claim in Class 2A et seq. shall, in the discretion of the Debtor with the consent of the Informal Vendor Debt Committee, receive, in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of and in exchange for its Claim, any one or a combination of any of the following: (i) Cash in an amount equal to such Allowed Class 2A et seq.

To the extent the Debtor elects clause (i), (ii), (iv), (v) or (vi) above, any liability associated with such treatment shall be satisfied with funds from Cricket. Allowed Claims in Class 2A et seq. that are paid in full in Cash or Reinstated on the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter are Unimpaired under the Plan and the Holders of such Allowed Claims in Class 2A et seq. will be deemed to have voted to accept the Plan. Allowed Claims in Class 2A et seq. that receive any alternative treatment are Impaired and therefore entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. Leap Class 3 - Priority Claims. The Plan provides that unless otherwise agreed to by Leap and the applicable Holder of a Claim, each Holder of an Allowed Claim in Class 3 50 will be paid the Allowed Amount of such Claim in full in Cash by Leap on or before the later of (i) the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, (ii) the date such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim and (iii) the date that such Claim would be paid in accordance with any terms and conditions of any agreements or understandings relating thereto between Leap and the Holder of such Claim. Allowed Claims in Class 3 are Unimpaired under the Plan and the Holders of Allowed Claims in Class 3 will be deemed to have accepted the Plan. Leap Class 4 - General Unsecured Claims. On the Initial Distribution Date, each Holder of an Allowed Class 4 Claim shall, in full satisfaction, settlement, release, discharge of and in exchange for such Claim (except as otherwise provided in the Plan), receive a Pro Rata distribution of beneficial interests in the Leap Creditor Trust and the Leap Creditor Trust shall receive the Leap General Unsecured Claim Cash Distribution.

After the satisfaction of all Allowed Administrative Claims and Priority Claims against Leap, any remaining Cash held in reserve by Reorganized Leap will be distributed to the Leap Creditor Trust. If any Leap Creditor Trust Assets are converted to Cash on or after the Initial Distribution Date but prior to the Effective Date, the Cash proceeds shall be transferred to the Leap Creditor Trust as soon as practicable upon such monetization, notwithstanding the fact that the Effective Date has not occurred. Class 4 is Impaired and therefore entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. Leap Class 4A - Subordinated General Unsecured Claims. To the extent the Court enters an Order subordinating a Class 4 Claim against Leap, that claim will be placed in Class 4A. If any such claims are subordinated, all Allowed Class 4 Claims against Leap would have to be paid in full prior to any payments to satisfy the Allowed Class 4A Claims. Because Allowed Class 4 Claims against Leap will not be paid in full under the Plan, each Holder of an Allowed Class 4A Claim shall not receive any property or Cash under the Plan on account of such Claims. Class 4A is Impaired under the Plan and deemed to have voted to reject the Plan. Leap Class 5 - Intercompany Claim.

To the extent that any provision of the Nortel Settlement Documents is inconsistent with the Plan, the provision of the Nortel Settlement Documents shall supersede and shall be controlling as against such inconsistent provision of the Plan. Neither the Debtors nor Cricket Performance 2 shall transfer to any other person or entity any of the claims or Rights (as such term is defined in the Nortel Settlement Agreement) released under the Nortel Settlement Agreement. Effective as of the entry of the Settlement Order (as such term is defined in the Nortel Settlement Agreement), (i) Nortel shall hold certain Allowed Claims against the estates of various of the Debtors, including without limitation the Nortel Networks Secured Claim (as such term is defined in the Nortel Settlement Agreement), all as set forth in the Nortel Settlement Agreement, and (ii) the Debtors shall afford Nortel all of the other rights, benefits and protections afforded Nortel in the Nortel Settlement Documents, subject to the terms and conditions thereof. ARTICLE IV. TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES SECTION 4.01 ASSUMPTION AND CURE The Debtors are parties to thousands of executory contracts and non-residential real property leases. On or before 17 days prior to the Voting Deadline, the Debtors will File a schedule of such contracts and leases that they intend to assume or assign to another Debtor, along with proposed cure amounts that will be paid by the Reorganized Debtors (the "Assumption Schedule"). Within one business day following the Filing of the Assumption Schedule, the Debtors will serve the Assumption Schedule on the non-debtor parties to the contracts and leases set forth on the Assumption Schedule, the Official Committee and the Informal Vendor Debt Committee. Any party to a contract or lease who objects to the listed cure amounts must File and serve an objection on counsel no later than thirty (30) days after the Debtors File and serve the Assumption Schedule. Failure to File and serve a timely objection shall be deemed consent to the cure amounts listed on the Assumption Schedule. Any cure amounts shall be the responsibility of Reorganized Cricket. Any monetary amount by which each executory contract and unexpired lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan is in default, if any, will be satisfied, pursuant to Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, at the option of the applicable Reorganized Debtor: (a) by payment of the default amount in Cash on the Effective Date or (b) on such other terms as are agreed to by the parties to such executory contract or unexpired lease. All such payments will be made by Reorganized Cricket. If there is a dispute regarding: (i) the amount of any cure payment; (ii) the ability of a Reorganized Debtor to provide "adequate assurance of future performance" (within the meaning of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease to be assumed or assigned; or (iii) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the cure payments required by Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code will be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption. 60 If a Debtor (other than Cricket) assumes a contract or lease and the non-Debtor party to such contract or lease objects to such Debtor's ability to provide adequate assurance of future performance (or if the time period for a non-Debtor to object to the cure amount has not yet lapsed), the Debtor may assign the contract or lease to Cricket. In such a circumstance, Cricket may demonstrate Cricket's ability to provide adequate assurance of future performance. The Confirmation Order will constitute an Order of the Court approving the assumptions described on the Assumption Schedule, pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of the date the Court enters the Confirmation Order, there is pending before the Court a dispute concerning the cure amount or adequate assurance for any particular contract or lease (or if the time period for a non-Debtor to object to the cure amount has not yet lapsed), the assumption of such contract or lease shall be effective as of the date the Bankruptcy Court enters an order resolving any such dispute and authorizing assumption by the applicable Debtor. Moreover, the assumption of the Lucent System Equipment Purchase Agreement is conditioned upon payment by Cricket of the applicable cure amount and Cricket demonstrating adequate assurance of future performance, and such other terms and conditions in the Lucent Settlement Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs or anything to the contrary elsewhere in the Plan, assumption of the Amended Nortel SEPA, including, without limitation, payment of the cure amount required to be made in connection therewith, shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Nortel Settlement Agreement. Any executory contract or lease not listed on the Assumption Schedule or that is not the subject of a motion to assume that is pending on the Confirmation Date shall be deemed rejected as of the Confirmation Date. The Debtors reserve the right to amend the Assumption Schedule at or prior to the Confirmation Hearing. If the Debtors add a contract or lease to the Assumption Schedule or reduce the proposed cure amounts listed thereon after the Assumption Schedule is originally Filed (as described above), the Debtor party to the applicable contract or lease shall serve the non-Debtor party to such contract or lease with notice (a) that the contract or lease has been added to the Assumption Schedule and (b) of the Debtor's proposed cure amount (the "Amended Assumption Schedule Notice"). The non-Debtor party shall have 30 days after service of the Amended Assumption Schedule Notice to File and serve an objection to the cure amount. To the extent the parties have a dispute with respect to the cure amount, the Debtors shall create a reserve for the full amount of the cure amount pending resolution of such dispute (either by stipulation or court order). The reserve described in the preceding sentence shall not be reduced by any other reserve established pursuant to the Plan. In addition to the foregoing and without duplication, for so long as there is a dispute between the Debtors and BellSouth concerning the cure amount payable in connection with the assumption of executory contracts to which Bell South is a party, Cricket shall create a separate reserve for the full amount of the alleged cure amount pending resolution of such dispute (either by stipulation or court order). If a Debtor assumes an executory contract with an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, the assumption of such contract shall be subject to the prior consent of the applicable government agency or instrumentality that is a party to such contract. 61 SECTION 4.02 REJECTION AND DAMAGES On or before 17 days prior to the Voting Deadline, the Debtors will File a schedule of executory contracts and non-residential real property leases that they intend to reject (the "Rejection Schedule"). Within one business day following the Filing of the Rejection Schedule, the Debtors will serve the Rejection Schedule on the non-debtor parties to the contracts and leases, the Official Committee and the Informal Vendor Debt Committee. The Rejection Schedule will indicate those contracts and leases that will be rejected as of the Confirmation Date, and which will be rejected on or before the Effective Date. The Debtors reserve the right to amend the Rejection Schedule at or prior to the Confirmation Hearing. All Claims for damages arising from the rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases must be Filed with the Court within sixty (60) days from the entry of the Confirmation Order. Creditors who previously filed proofs of claim for rejection damages do not need to refile their proofs of claim. To the extent the Court enters an order rejecting an executory contract or unexpired lease after the date of the entry of the Confirmation Order (a "Post-Confirmation Rejection Order"), any claims for damages from the rejection of such contract or lease must be Filed (the "Claim Filing") within 60 days of the entry of the Post-Confirmation Rejection Order. Any Claims not Filed within such time will be forever barred from assertion against the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Debtors and the Leap Creditor Trust, unless a stipulation has been entered into with respect to the rejection of such executory contract or unexpired lease by the applicable Debtor and non-Debtor party, with the approval of the Official Committee or the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee, as applicable, for executory contracts and unexpired leases to which Leap is a party or with the approval of the Informal Vendor Debt Committee for all other executory contracts and unexpired leases. Each of the Allowed Claims arising from the rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases shall be treated as a General Unsecured Claim of the applicable Debtor that was party to such contract or lease. Leap (and following the formation of the Leap Creditor Trust, the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee) shall have 60 days from the later of the Confirmation Date and the date of the Claim Filing to File an objection to any claim for rejection damages asserted against Leap. Cricket, the License Holding Companies and the Property Holding Companies, as applicable, and, following the Effective Date the Reorganized Debtors, shall have 60 days from the later of the Confirmation Date and the date of the Claim Filing to File an objection to any claim for rejection damages. Whether or not listed on the Rejection Schedule, any executory contract or lease not listed on the Assumption Schedule or that is not the subject of a motion to assume that is pending on the Confirmation Date shall be deemed rejected as of the Confirmation Date. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an Order of the Court approving such rejections described herein, pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. 62 ARTICLE V. MEANS FOR EXECUTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN SECTION 5.01 OVERVIEW OF PLAN IMPLEMENTATION In sum, the Plan provides for a reorganization of the Debtors under Reorganized Leap. However, Reorganized Leap will not retain the Leap General Unsecured Claim Cash Distributions or the assets being transferred to the Leap Creditor Trust, or be subject to any claims against or Interests in Leap that are being discharged under the Plan. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all Cash necessary for the Reorganized Debtors to make payments pursuant to the Plan will be obtained from the Reorganized Debtors' cash balances or borrowings and the operations of the Reorganized Debtors. All cash necessary for the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee to make payments pursuant to the Plan will be obtained from Leap Creditor Trust Assets. SECTION 5.02 DISTRIBUTIONS On the Effective Date, (i) the Old License Holding Company Common Stock will be cancelled and each Reorganized License Holding Company will issue to Reorganized Leap 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of New License Holding Company Common Stock, (ii) the Old Other Subsidiary Common Stock will be cancelled and each Reorganized Other Subsidiary will issue to Reorganized Leap 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Other Subsidiary Common Stock, and (iii) the Old Property Holding Company Common Stock will be cancelled and each Reorganized Property Holding Company will issue to Reorganized Cricket 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Property Holding Company Common Stock. Also on the Effective Date, (i) the Old Leap Common Stock will be cancelled, (ii) Reorganized Leap will issue and contribute 96.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Leap Common Stock to CCH, (iii) Reorganized Leap will contribute all of the New License Holding Company Common Stock to CCH, and (iv) CCH will contribute all of such New Leap Common Stock and New License Company Common Stock to Reorganized Cricket. Following such contributions, on the Effective Date, CCH will be merged with and into Cricket Communications, Inc. in a "tax-free" reorganization in compliance with Section 368(a)(1)(G) of the Internal Revenue Code, pursuant to which the Old CCH Common Stock will be converted into 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Cricket Common Stock. As a result, Reorganized Leap will own 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Reorganized Cricket and each of the Reorganized Other Subsidiaries, and Reorganized Cricket will own 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of each of the Reorganized License Holding Companies, 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of each of the Reorganized Property Holding Companies and, temporarily until the distribution thereof to the Holders of Old Vendor Debt Claims, 96.5% of the New Leap Common Stock. On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the Holders of Old Vendor Debt Claims will receive from Cricket, on a Pro Rata basis, 96.5% of the issued and 63 outstanding shares of New Leap Common Stock and New Senior Notes aggregating $350 million in principal amount. On the Initial Distribution Date, and notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date: (a) Holders of Allowed Leap General Unsecured Claims, including the Holders of Old Leap Notes, will receive, on a Pro Rata basis, beneficial interests in the Leap Creditor Trust; (b) the Leap Creditor Trust will receive the Leap General Unsecured Claim Cash Distribution; and (c) Holders of Allowed 12 1/2% Senior Secured Claims will receive, on a Pro Rata basis, the 12 1/2% Senior Secured Claim Distribution (approximately $200,000). In addition, on the later of the Effective Date and the Initial Distribution Date, Reorganized Leap will issue and transfer (as applicable) to the Leap Creditor Trust: (a) the Leap Creditor Trust Assets for subsequent sale and Distribution of the proceeds to the Leap General Unsecured Creditors; and (b) 3.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Leap Common Stock as of the Effective Date for Distribution to the Leap General Unsecured Creditors. Following the Effective Date, after the satisfaction of all Allowed Administrative Claims and Allowed Priority Claims against Leap and the resolution of all Disputed Administrative Claims and Disputed Priority Claims against Leap, any remaining Cash held in reserve by Reorganized Leap will be distributed to the Leap Creditor Trust. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, if any Leap Creditor Trust Assets are converted to Cash on or after the Initial Distribution Date but prior to the Effective Date, the Cash proceeds shall be transferred to the Leap Creditor Trust as soon as practicable upon such monetization, notwithstanding the fact that the Effective Date has not occurred. In accordance with the negotiated settlement between the Leap Informal Noteholder Committee and the Informal Vendor Debt Committee leading to the Plan, all other assets of Leap that are not specifically defined as Leap Creditor Trust Assets in the Plan will not be transferred to the Leap Creditor Trust and will remain with Reorganized Leap, including for example only, office furniture, fixtures, equipment and supplies; Leap intellectual property, including the "Leap" trademark; retirement plan assets; and an inter-company payable from Cricket which is being released under the Plan. Holders of Old Leap Common Stock will receive nothing on account of their Interests. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, and except as otherwise provided herein, property to be distributed hereunder to each Unimpaired Class shall be distributed on the later of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date on which the distribution to a Holder of a Claim in such Class would have been due and payable in the ordinary course of business or under the terms of the Claim in the absence of the Chapter 11 Cases. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and the Leap Creditor Trust shall not be obligated to make any distribution with respect to any unclassified Claim, or any Allowed Claim, other than those in the hands of the Holders shown on the books and records of the Debtors as of the Confirmation Hearing unless otherwise identified on a Filed proof of claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors reserve the right to merge, on or prior to the Effective Date with the consent of the Informal Vendor Debt Committee, (a) one or more License Holding Companies into another License Holding Company or into Cricket or Reorganized Cricket, and/or (b) one or more Property Holding Companies into another Property Holding Company or into Cricket or Reorganized Cricket. 64 SECTION 5.03 THE OFFICIAL COMMITTEE On the Effective Date, the Official Committee shall be dissolved and the members of such committee shall be released and discharged from all further rights and duties arising from or related to the Chapter 11 Cases. The professionals retained by such committee and the members thereof shall not be entitled to compensation or reimbursement of expenses incurred for services rendered after the Effective Date, except in connection with the preparation and prosecution of, and objections to, fee applications. SECTION 5.04 VESTING OF ASSETS Except as otherwise provided in any provision of the Plan, on the Effective Date, the Leap Creditor Trust Assets shall vest in the Leap Creditor Trust and all property of the other Estates will vest in the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, encumbrances and Interests. From and after the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and use, acquire, and dispose of property and settle and compromise Claims or Interests arising post-Confirmation without supervision by the Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules or the Local Bankruptcy Rules, other than those restrictions expressly imposed by the Plan and the Confirmation Order. SECTION 5.05 PRESERVATION OF CAUSES OF ACTION Except in any contract, instrument, release or other agreement entered into in connection with the Plan or as otherwise provided in the Plan (and subject to the following paragraph), in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, each Reorganized Debtor shall retain all Litigation Claims that each Debtor or the Estate may hold against any Person; provided, however, that Litigation Claims listed in Leap's Schedules, as well as any Eligible Leap Avoidance Actions and Eligible Leap Causes of Action, shall be transferred to the Leap Creditor Trust on the Effective Date. The Leap Creditor Trust Trustee shall have the rights prescribed in 11 U.S.C. 1123(b)(3)(B) to pursue or settle such Claims. In addition, the following causes of action and avoidance actions shall not be designated as "Materially Adverse Actions" and shall each be deemed Eligible Leap Avoidance Actions or Eligible Leap Causes of Action, as applicable: All of the Ongoing Litigation Matters listed on Exhibit "L" to the Disclosure Statement (with the exception of Cricket Communications v. City of Tucson, which shall remain with Reorganized Leap); the derivative action filed by Steven Zawalick in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Case No. 03600591; the adversary proceeding filed by Leap (1) against MCG PCS, Inc. and Michael Gelfand to avoid and recover transfer pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sections 547 and 550, and (2) against MCG PCS, Inc. to subordinate claim pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 510 (Adversary Proceeding No. 03-90284-LA); the adversary proceeding filed by Leap against Endesa, S.A., a Spanish Corporation, seeking recovery on a promissory note (Adversary Proceeding No. 03-90388-LA); and the adversary proceeding filed against the American Wireless Creditors to subordinate claim pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 510. During the period (if any) subsequent to the Initial Distribution Date and prior to the Effective Date, but subject to the negotiation and execution of a customary joint defense agreement among the Debtors, the Official Committee and the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee, the Debtors shall provide the Official Committee and the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee with all pleadings and relevant documentation in connection with Leap Litigation Claims and Eligible Leap Avoidance Actions, as well as periodic monthly updates as to progress of any litigation or formal or informal settlement offers 65 in connection therewith. The Official Committee and the Leap Creditor Trust shall have the right to oversee and comment on such progress and any settlement proposals, and during such period, no Leap Litigation Claim or Eligible Leap Avoidance Actions will be settled before the Effective Date without the express written consent of the Official Committee. In addition, the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee and the Official Committee shall have standing to make a motion to the Court to settle or prosecute any such Litigation Claim or Eligible Leap Avoidance Action to the extent they deem appropriate. In addition, within 7 days prior to the Voting Deadline, the Debtors will File a schedule of Claims to which the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors or Leap Creditor Trust, as applicable, may object or challenge and of causes of action (including avoidance actions) that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may bring (the "Objection Schedule"). Within two business days following the date the Debtors File the Objection Schedule, the Debtors shall serve the Objection Schedule on all parties listed on the Objection Schedule. The Debtors reserve the right to amend the Objection Schedule at or prior to the Confirmation Hearing. The fact that an avoidance action, objection to Claim or cause of action is not listed on the Objection Schedule shall not preclude the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or the Leap Creditor Trust from bringing any such action or objection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan implements, as of the Initial Distribution Date, the Intercompany Releases and other settlements representing a global settlement of all (a) Intercompany Claims and (b) Intercompany Transfer Litigation Claims. The Plan is the product of months of investigation and negotiations among the Debtors, their Estates, the Holders of Old Vendor Debt, the Informal Vendor Debt Committee, the Holders of Leap General Unsecured Claims and the Official Committee (including the Informal Noteholder Committee prior to the appointment of the Official Committee). In particular, in exchange for (i) the distributions made pursuant to the Plan and (ii) the full releases of Intercompany Claims and Intercompany Transfer Litigation Claims that might be asserted by the non-Leap Debtors, their Estates and/or the Holders of Old Vendor Debt, Leap, its Estate and the Holders of Leap General Unsecured Claims in such capacity hereby grant full releases of all Intercompany Claims and Intercompany Transfer Litigation Claims against the non-Leap Debtors, their Estates and the current and former Holders of Old Vendor Debt (in the capacity as such Holder) and the current and former administrative agents under the Vendor Debt Facilities (in the capacity as such agent) and other Holders of Claims or Interests against or in any non-Leap Debtor. Similarly, in exchange for the full releases of Intercompany Claims and Intercompany Transfer Litigation Claims that might be asserted by Leap, its Estate and/or the Holders of Leap General Unsecured Claims, each non-Leap Debtor, their Estates and the Holders of Old Vendor Debt in such capacity hereby grant full releases of all Intercompany Claims and Intercompany Transfer Litigation Claims against Leap and its Estate (and the Holders of Claims and Interests against or in Leap, including the Holders of Leap General Unsecured Claims). Each such non-Leap Debtor, its Estate, all Holders of Claims or Interests against such non-Leap Debtors claiming through such non-Leap Debtors, and the current and former Holders of Old Vendor Debt (in the capacity as such Holder) and the current and former administrative agents under the Vendor Debt Facilities (in the capacity as such agent) hereby waive any right to seek recovery from any of the Leap Creditor Trust Assets in connection with such Claims, whether or not such Leap Creditor Trust Assets have been transferred to the Leap Creditor Trust as of the Initial Distribution Date. The effectiveness of the foregoing releases to former Holders of Old Vendor Debt (in the capacity as such Holder) and former administrative agents under the Vendor Debt Facilities (in the capacity as such agent) is 66 expressly conditioned upon the granting of mutual releases of Intercompany Claims and Intercompany Transfer Litigation Claims by such parties to Leap, its Estate and the Holders of Leap General Unsecured Claims. If a former Holder of Old Vendor Debt (in the capacity as such Holder) or former administrative agent under the Vendor Debt Facilities (in the capacity as such agent) asserts any claim released hereunder against Leap, its Estate and the Holders of Leap General Unsecured Claims, such former Holder of Old Vendor Debt (in the capacity as such Holder) or former administrative agent under the Vendor Debt Facilities (in the capacity as such agent) shall not be entitled to the benefits of the releases described herein. The Plan constitutes a motion under Rule 9019 to compromise all such claims and no party who holds or could potentially be the beneficiary of such Intercompany Claims or Intercompany Transfer Litigation Claims shall have any standing or right to assert such claims following the Initial Distribution Date. SECTION 5.06 AMENDED DEBTOR BYLAWS AND CERTIFICATES OF INCORPORATION On the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor shall adopt the applicable Amended Debtor Bylaws and the applicable Amended Debtor Certificates of Incorporation, pursuant to applicable non-bankruptcy law and Section 1123(a)(5)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Amended Debtor Bylaws and the Amended Debtor Certificates of Incorporation will, among other things prohibit the issuance of nonvoting equity securities to the extent required by Section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Amended Debtor Certificates of Incorporation will become effective upon the occurrence of the Effective Date and may be amended following the Effective Date in accordance with non-bankruptcy law. Forms of the Amended Debtor Certificates of Incorporation and the Amended Debtor Bylaws shall be Filed at least 5 days prior to the date of the Confirmation Hearing. SECTION 5.07 COMPOSITION OF MANAGEMENT AND THE DIRECTORS OF THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS The Informal Vendor Debt Committee has informed the Debtors that they expect the existing senior management team to continue as the executive officers and senior management of the Debtors through the Effective Date of the Plan, and that following the Effective Date, these officers will serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors of Reorganized Leap. The directors of each of the Debtors will continue to serve in such capacities until and through the Effective Date. As of the Effective Date, the new board of directors of Reorganized Leap initially shall consist of seven directors to be designated by the Informal Vendor Debt Committee. As of the date hereof, the Informal Vendor Debt Committee does not yet know who will be serving as directors of Reorganized Leap or any of the other Reorganized Debtors after the Effective Date. However, the Reorganized Debtors will identify those individuals who initially will serve as directors of the Reorganized Debtors from and after the Effective Date in a Schedule Filed with the Court at least 5 days prior to the Confirmation Hearing. A majority of the Board of Directors of Reorganized Leap shall select the Board of Directors and senior management of the other Reorganized Debtors. 67 Reorganized Leap may authorize appropriate compensation and bonus plans for senior management employed by the Reorganized Debtors post-Effective Date. After the Effective Date, Reorganized Leap may adopt a new incentive plan for the grant to officers, employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries of options to acquire shares of New Leap Common Stock. The options may be based upon a vesting schedule and any other performance criteria that may be structured by the Board of Directors of Reorganized Leap. SECTION 5.08 DISBURSING AGENTS Reorganized Leap and Reorganized Cricket (or their designee) shall act as the Disbursing Agents for the purpose of making all distributions provided for under the Plan, provided, however, that the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee shall act as the Disbursing Agent under the Leap Plan with respect to all assets transferred to the Leap Creditor Trust pursuant to the Plan. Each Disbursing Agent shall serve without bond. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, all Cash to be distributed by the Disbursing Agents or the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee in respect of Allowed General Unsecured Claims for the benefit of the Holders of Old Leap Notes, and in respect of Allowed 12 1/2% Senior Secured Claims for the benefit of the Holders of 12 1/2% Senior Notes, shall be delivered to the Old Indenture Trustee who, after deducting any unpaid fees and expenses of the Old Indenture Trustee and its counsel to the extent provided for by the Indenture and in accordance with applicable law, will then distribute such Cash pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, all non-Cash property to be distributed by the Disbursing Agents or the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee in respect of Allowed General Unsecured Claims for the benefit of the Holders of Old Leap Notes shall be made to or at the direction of the Old Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Indenture. The Distribution Record Date shall be used as the record date for any distributions pursuant to the Indenture. SECTION 5.09 DISCHARGE OF REORGANIZED DEBTORS AND INJUNCTION Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order: (i) on the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor shall be deemed discharged and released to the fullest extent permitted by section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code from all Claims and Interests, including, but not limited to, demands, liabilities, Claims and Interests that arose before the Confirmation Date and all debts of the kind specified in sections 502(g), 502(h) or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not: (A) a proof of Claim or proof of Interest based on such debt or Interest is Filed or deemed Filed pursuant to section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code, (B) a Claim or Interest based on such debt or Interest is allowed pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or (C) the Holder of a Claim or Interest based on such debt or Interest has accepted the Plan; and (ii) all Persons shall be precluded from asserting against each Reorganized Debtor, its successors, or its assets or properties any other or further Claims or Interests based upon any act or omission, transaction, or other activity of any kind or nature that occurred prior to the Confirmation Date. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, the Confirmation Order shall act as a discharge of any and all Claims against and all debts and liabilities of the Reorganized Debtors, as provided in sections 524 and 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, and such discharge shall void any judgment against each Reorganized Debtor at any time obtained to the extent that it relates to a Claim discharged. 68 Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, all Persons that have held, currently hold or may hold a Claim or other debt or liability or an Interest or other right of such Holders, are permanently enjoined from taking any of the following actions on account of any such Claims, debts or liabilities or Interests or rights: (a) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding against any of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors; (b) enforcing, attaching, collecting or recovering in any manner any judgment, award, decree or order against any of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors; (c) creating, perfecting or enforcing any Lien or encumbrance against any of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors; (d) asserting a setoff, right of subrogation or recoupment of any kind against any obligation due to any of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors; and (e) commencing or continuing any action, in any manner, in any place that does not comply with or is inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. Any Person injured by any willful violation of such injunction shall recover actual damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, and, in appropriate circumstances, may recover punitive damages, from the willful violator. The foregoing releases do not extend to any Other Claim except for the Lucent Credit Agreement Claims (as such capitalized terms are defined in the Lucent Settlement Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any stay or injunction under the Code or the Plan is in effect, such stay or injunction is hereby lifted to permit Lucent to perfect its purchase money security interest as provided in the Settlement Documents and to exercise its rights under the Settlement Documents. The foregoing discharge and releases do not extend to any demands, liabilities, Claims, Interests, Rights (as such term is defined in the Nortel Settlement Agreement), offsets or defenses or any other matters which are being retained by Nortel under the Nortel Settlement Agreement (including, without limitation, those Rights, offsets and defenses retained by Nortel under Sections 9, 10(c) and 11 of the Nortel Settlement Agreement), except for the Nortel Networks Secured Claim (as such term is defined in the Nortel Settlement Agreement), any other pre-petition secured claim filed by or on behalf of Nortel or any of its agents (in their capacity as agents for Nortel), and any demands, liabilities or Rights related to the Credit Agreement, the Fee Agreement, the Additional Fees and the Collateral Documents (as such terms are defined in the Nortel Settlement Agreement). Such Nortel Networks Secured Claim and such other secured claims shall be afforded the treatment set forth for such claims in the Nortel Settlement Agreement and the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any stay or injunction under the Code or the Plan is in effect, such stay or injunction is hereby lifted to permit Nortel to exercise its rights under the Nortel Settlement Documents. The releases set forth in Section 5.09 do not extend to rights preserved by Lucent under the Lucent Settlement Agreement and Nortel under the Nortel Settlement Agreement to assert claims against the Debtors, to perfect any security interests as provided under such agreements or to exercise any rights under such agreements. SECTION 5.10 NO LIABILITY FOR SOLICITATION OR PARTICIPATION As specified in section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, Persons that solicit acceptances or rejections of the Plan and/or that participate in the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of securities offered or sold under the Plan (including but not limited to the Debtors, the 69 Informal Vendor Debt Committee (and each of its members in such capacity), the Informal Noteholder Committee (and each of its members in such capacity), the Official Committee (and each of its members in such capacity), the Old Indenture Trustee and counsel and other professional persons retained by any of the Debtors, the Informal Vendor Debt Committee, the Informal Noteholder Committee, the Official Committee, and the Old Indenture Trustee, and each of their respective affiliates, current or former officers, directors, agents, employees and representatives), in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, shall not be liable, on account of such solicitation or participation, for violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of securities. SECTION 5.11 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY Neither (a) any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor or any of their respective postpetition employees, officers, directors, agents, representatives, affiliates, attorneys, financial advisors or any other professional persons employed by any of them, nor (b) the Informal Vendor Debt Committee, or any of its members, agents, employees, directors, officers, representatives, attorneys or other professional advisors, nor (c) the Official Committee, or any of its postpetition members, agents, employees, directors, officers, representatives, attorneys or other professional advisors, nor (d) the Old Indenture Trustee, or any of its agents, employees, directors, officers, representatives, attorneys or other professional advisors, in each case, shall have any responsibility, or have or incur any liability, to any Person whatsoever, under any theory of liability (except for any claim based upon willful misconduct or gross negligence), for any act taken or omission made in good faith directly related to formulating, implementing, confirming, or consummating the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created in connection with the Plan, provided that nothing in this paragraph shall limit the liability of any Person for breach of any express obligation it has under the terms of this Plan or under any post-petition agreement or other post-petition document entered into by such Person or in accordance with the terms of this Plan or for any breach of a duty of care owed to any other Person occurring after the Effective Date. SECTION 5.12 OBJECTIONS TO CLAIMS The right to prosecute, File, litigate and settle objections to Disputed Claims, whether or not the subject of litigation pending as of the Effective Date, shall be deemed automatically transferred by the Debtors and their Estates to the Reorganized Debtors as of the Effective Date. From and after the Effective Date, only the Reorganized Debtors shall have the right to File, litigate or settle any objections to Disputed Claims; provided, that in the case of Claims against Leap (including but not limited to the Allowance or allocation of Administrative Claims), from and after the Effective Date the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee (to the extent provided in the Plan) shall have the authority to File objections, settle, compromise, withdraw or litigate to judgment objections to Claims. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, objections to any Disputed Claim shall be Filed within 60 days after the Effective Date, or within such additional period of time as the Court may allow upon motion made by the Reorganized Debtors or the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee, as applicable, within such 60 day period. Any such objection that is not timely Filed shall be deemed forever waived by the Reorganized Debtors' Estates and the Leap Creditor 70 Trust, as applicable, and neither the Reorganized Debtors, the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee nor any other party-in-interest shall have any right to pursue the same. Pursuant to Orders with respect to the Debtors' interim use of cash collateral, the Court limited the ability of certain parties-in-interest to challenge the validity, priority or enforceability of the Liens asserted against the Debtors by the Holders of Old Vendor Debt. As of the date hereof, no party-in-interest may bring such a challenge, other than the Official Committee, which must bring any such challenge no later than November 30, 2003. Nothing contained herein shall modify any of the foregoing Orders. Notwithstanding that the Reorganized Debtors and the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee shall have the right to File, litigate and settle objections to Disputed Claims on behalf of the Debtors and their Estates, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to obligate the Reorganized Debtors and the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee to take any such actions, all of which shall be determined by the Reorganized Debtors and the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee in their sole and absolute discretion. From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors (and the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee with respect to any Disputed Claims against Leap or Disputed Interest in Leap) may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest without approval of the Court. Within 7 days prior to the Voting Deadline, the Debtors will File a schedule of Claims to which the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors or Leap Creditor Trust, as applicable, may object or challenge in any way and of causes of action (including avoidance actions) that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may bring (the "Objection Schedule"). Within two business days following the date the Debtors File the Objection Schedule, the Debtors shall serve the Objection Schedule on all parties listed on the Objection Schedule. The Debtors reserve the right to amend the Objection Schedule at or prior to the Confirmation Hearing. The fact that an avoidance action, objection to Claim or cause of action is not listed on the Objection Schedule shall not preclude the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or the Leap Creditor Trust from bringing any such action or objection. THE DEBTORS HAVE NOT FULLY REVIEWED THE CLAIMS IN THE CASE OR DETERMINED WHETHER OBJECTIONS TO CLAIMS EXIST. THIS INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING AND WILL OCCUR, IN LARGE PART, AFTER THE CONFIRMATION DATE. AS A RESULT, CREDITORS AND OTHER PARTIES-IN-INTEREST ARE HEREBY ADVISED THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING THAT THE EXISTENCE OF ANY PARTICULAR OBJECTION TO A DISPUTED CLAIM MAY NOT BE LISTED, DISCLOSED OR SET FORTH IN THIS PLAN, AN OBJECTION TO A CLAIM MAY BE BROUGHT AGAINST ANY CREDITOR OR PARTY-IN-INTEREST AT ANY TIME, SUBJECT TO THE TIME LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH 5.12 AND THE LIMITATION THAT AN OBJECTION MAY BE ASSERTED ONLY WITH RESPECT TO DISPUTED CLAIMS CONTEMPLATED WITHIN THE OBJECTION SCHEDULE. IN ADDITION TO THE FOREGOING, WITH RESPECT TO THE DISPUTED CLAIMS SCHEDULE, THE DEBTORS, THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS AND THE LEAP CREDITOR TRUST TRUSTEE, AS APPLICABLE, RETAIN AND HEREBY RESERVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO (i) ANY CLAIMS FILED AFTER THE BAR DATE OF JUNE 28, 2003, (ii) ANY CLAIMS FILED BY ADDITIONAL PARTIES AFTER THE 71 SUPPLEMENTAL BAR DATE OF SEPTEMBER 2, 2003 AND (iii) ANY CLAIMS FILED IN ORDER TO SET FORTH DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE REJECTION OF AN EXECUTORY CONTRACT OR OTHER AGREEMENT WITH THE DEBTORS. THE DEBTORS, THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS AND THE LEAP CREDITOR TRUST TRUSTEE, AS APPLICABLE, FURTHER RETAIN AND HEREBY RESERVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO CLAIMS INADVERTENTLY OMITTED FROM THE DISPUTED CLAIMS SCHEDULES, WHICH OBJECTIONS WILL NOT MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT THE CLAIMS OF THE REMAINING CREDITORS OF THE DEBTORS' ESTATES. FINALLY, THE DEBTORS AND THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS RETAIN AND HEREBY RESERVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO AMOUNTS THAT HAVE BEEN SCHEDULED BY THE DEBTORS, OR REFLECTED IN THE DEBTORS' BOOKS AND RECORDS, AND WHICH ARE FOUND TO BE OBJECTIONABLE IN ANY RESPECT. Objections to applications of professionals or other Persons for compensation or reimbursement of expenses must be Filed and served on the Reorganized Debtors, counsel for the Reorganized Debtors, the Informal Vendor Debt Committee, the Official Committee (or, if the Official Committee has disbanded, the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee) and the professionals to whose application the objections are addressed on or before (i) sixty (60) days after such application is Filed and served or (ii) such later date as the Court shall order upon application made prior to the end of such 60-day period or upon agreement between the Reorganized Debtors and the affected professional. SECTION 5.13 OTHER DOCUMENTS AND ACTIONS The Debtors, the Debtors in Possession, the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee and the Reorganized Debtors may, and shall, execute such documents and take such other actions as are necessary to effectuate the transactions provided for in the Plan. SECTION 5.14 CORPORATE ACTION The creation of the Leap Creditor Trust and the appointment of the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee shall be deemed to have occurred and be effective on the Initial Distribution Date, and the issuance of the New Leap Common Stock, New Cricket Common Stock, New License Holding Company Common Stock, New Property Holding Company Common Stock and New Other Subsidiary Common Stock, the New Senior Notes, the adoption of the Amended Debtor Certificates of Incorporation and the selection of the Persons who will serve as the initial directors and officers of the Reorganized Debtors as of the Effective Date, and other matters under the Plan involving the corporate structure of each Debtor or corporate action by each Debtor, shall be deemed to have occurred and be effective on and after the Effective Date without any requirement of further action by the stockholders or directors of each Debtor. Without limiting the foregoing, upon entry of the Confirmation Order by the Clerk, the filing by each Reorganized Debtor of its respective Amended Debtor Certificate of Incorporation shall be authorized and approved in all respects. On the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is practicable, pursuant to applicable law, the Amended Debtor Bylaws of each Debtor shall be the bylaws of each Reorganized Debtor (as appropriate). 72 SECTION 5.15 RETIREE BENEFITS On and after the Effective Date, to the extent required by section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, each Reorganized Debtor shall continue to pay all retiree benefits (if any), as the term "retiree benefits" is defined in section 1114(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, that it maintained or established prior to the Confirmation Date. SECTION 5.16 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Each Debtor's employees shall have a priority claim for unpaid wages, benefits, and other entitlements to the extent permitted by Section 507(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, which will be either (i) paid in full, or (ii) Reinstated. To the extent that any employee's claim exceeds the amount prescribed by Section 507(a)(3), the employee shall receive a General Unsecured Claim for the excess amount against the applicable Debtor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any non-Leap employee who continues to be an employee in good standing with the Reorganized Debtors after the Effective Date shall be entitled to take (in the form of vacation days and not in cash) all unused and unpaid vacation time he accrued prior to the Petition Date. If such employee is terminated without cause, such employee will be entitled to a payment from Cricket of the value of any such vacation in accordance with existing policies of the Debtors and applicable non-bankruptcy law. SECTION 5.17 CERTAIN PROVISIONS IN RESPECT OF THE OLD LEAP NOTES, AND THE OLD INDENTURE TRUSTEE (a) Old Indenture Trustee's Lien Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to the terms of the Indenture and to applicable law, the Plan shall not affect the lien of the Old Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07 of the Indenture on all money or property now or in the future held by the Old Indenture Trustee, including without limitation any distributions in respect of the Old Leap Notes pursuant to this Plan or the Leap Creditor Trust, to secure payment of the fees and expenses incurred or to be incurred by the Old Indenture Trustee (including without limitation the fees and expenses of its counsel) and the indemnity and all other obligations set forth in Section 7.07 of the Indenture, which lien shall continue notwithstanding the occurrence of the Confirmation Date, the Initial Distribution Date and the Effective Date and notwithstanding the discharge of the Debtors pursuant to this Plan and Section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code. Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to the terms of the Indenture and applicable law, the Old Indenture Trustee may at any time, and from time to time, pay or reserve for such fees, expenses, indemnity and other obligations from any such money or property now or in the future held by the Old Indenture Trustee. (b) Tax Reporting Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to the terms of the Indenture and to applicable law, none of the Old Indenture Trustee, the Disbursing Agent or the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee shall have any obligation to pay, make withholdings in respect of, or make any filings with or reportings to any governmental entity or agency or any other Person in respect of, any tax or tax-related obligations in respect of the Old Leap Notes or any distributions pursuant to this Plan or the Leap Creditor Trust in respect of the Old Leap Notes. 73 Instead, (i) the beneficial holder of each Old Leap Note shall have the obligation to pay all taxes in respect of such distributions, and (ii) the top-tier Depository Trust Company participant in respect of each Old Leap Note shall have the obligation to comply with all such withholding, filing and reporting requirements. (c) Indenture Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indenture shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the occurrence of the Confirmation Date, the Initial Distribution Date and the Effective Date and notwithstanding the discharge of the Debtors, except that the liability of any of the Debtors thereunder shall be discharged pursuant to this Plan and Section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code. SECTION 5.18 EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES ENTERED INTO AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS INCURRED AFTER THE PETITION DATE Executory contracts and unexpired leases entered into and other obligations incurred after the Petition Date by the Debtors shall be performed by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors in the ordinary course of their businesses. Accordingly, such executory contracts, unexpired leases and other obligations shall survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order or the occurrence of the Effective Date under and the effectiveness of the Plan. SECTION 5.19 SECURITY INTERESTS AND LIENS All security interests and liens granted or to be granted to any party in connection with the Plan or any document or agreement contemplated by the Plan or entered into in connection with the Plan or otherwise granted or to be granted, including without limitation, the New Senior Notes Indenture, Lucent's Amended SEPA (as such term is defined in the Lucent Settlement Agreement) and the Nortel Settlement Agreement, shall be governed in all respects, including without limitation, perfection and priority, by applicable non-bankruptcy law, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Confirmation Order. ARTICLE VI. CONFIRMATION AND EFFECTIVE DATE CONDITIONS SECTION 6.01 CONDITIONS TO CONFIRMATION The conditions to Confirmation shall be the following: (a) A finding by the Court that the requirements of 11 U.S.C. Section 1129 have been satisfied; (b) The Confirmation Order shall (i) be acceptable in form and substance to the Debtors, the Informal Vendor Debt Committee, and the Official Committee, (ii) be subject to Lucent's reasonable satisfaction that it accurately reflects the terms of the Lucent Settlement Agreement, (iii) be subject to Nortel's reasonable satisfaction that it accurately reflects the terms 74 of the Nortel Settlement Agreement and (iv) expressly authorize and direct the Debtors to perform the actions that are conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan; (c) Each of the events and actions required by the Plan to occur or to be taken prior to Confirmation shall have occurred or have been taken, or the Debtors or the party whose obligations are conditioned by such occurrences and/or actions, as applicable, shall have waived such occurrences or actions; (d) Holders of at least two-thirds in dollar amount of the Allowed Leap Class 4 General Unsecured Claims that actually vote on the Plan shall have voted to accept the Plan; and (e) The Confirmation Order must be entered by October 31, 2003. SECTION 6.02 CONDITIONS TO INITIAL DISTRIBUTION DATE The conditions to the Initial Distribution Date shall be the following: the Confirmation Order shall (i) be acceptable in form and substance to the Debtors, the Informal Vendor Debt Committee and the Official Committee; (ii) expressly authorize the Debtors to perform the actions that are conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan; and (iii) shall be entered by the Court. SECTION 6.03 CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVE DATE The Plan shall not become effective unless and until it has been confirmed and the following conditions have been satisfied in full or waived: (1) the Confirmation Order in a form satisfactory to the Debtors, the Informal Vendor Debt Committee and the Official Committee, and reasonably satisfactory to Lucent that it accurately reflects the terms of the Lucent Settlement Agreement, and reasonably satisfactory to Nortel that it accurately reflects the terms of the Nortel Settlement Agreement, shall have become a Final Order; (2) all authorizations, consents and regulatory approvals (including, without limitation, any approvals required under regulations relating to the change in ownership of the Debtors upon the Effective Date) required (if any) for the Plan's effectiveness shall have been obtained including, without limitation, all FCC approvals and consents in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Informal Vendor Debt Committee; (3) the New Senior Notes Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, if required; (4) the Debtors shall have purchased, at Cricket's expense, directors' and officers' liability insurance for the directors and officers of the Reorganized Debtors in form and amounts reasonably acceptable to the Informal Vendor Debt Committee; and (5) all other actions and documents necessary to implement the treatment of Claims and Interests shall have been effected or executed or, if waivable, waived by the Person or Persons entitled to the benefit thereof. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, the occurrence of the Effective Date is not a condition precedent to the occurrence of the Initial Distribution Date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, including without limitation, Section 5.04 of the Plan, no provision of the Plan shall: (a) excuse the Debtors or any other party from their obligations under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, or any regulation, rule or policy of the FCC; or (b) annul, alter, modify or otherwise limit the FCC's rights or authority over the Debtors or their FCC licenses. Accordingly, the Effective Date of the Plan is conditioned upon, among other things, the Debtors' obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals from the FCC, including without limitation, any approvals required in connection with 75 the transfer or assignment of FCC licenses, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Informal Vendor Debt Committee. SECTION 6.04 WAIVER OF CONDITIONS The Debtors, the Official Committee, and/or the Informal Vendor Debt Committee, as applicable, may waive any or all of the other conditions set forth in the Plan without leave of or order of the Court and without any formal action; provided, however, that no waiver of the condition set forth in Section 6.01(d) above shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Official Committee; and no waiver of the condition set forth in Section 6.01(b)(ii) above or clause (l) of section 6.03 above, insofar as it relates to Lucent's reasonable satisfaction of the Confirmation Order, shall be effective without the prior written consent of Lucent; and no waiver of the condition set forth in Section 6.01(b)(iii) above or clause (l) of Section 6.03 above, insofar as it relates to Nortel's reasonable satisfaction of the Confirmation Order, shall be effective without the prior written consent of Nortel. The Debtors reserve the right to amend or revoke the Plan. Although this Plan is styled as a joint plan, the Debtors reserve the right to proceed with Confirmation under this Plan for one or more Debtors but not all Debtors. SECTION 6.05 EFFECT OF FAILURE OF CONDITIONS Except as provided in the next paragraph, in the event that the Effective Date does not occur within one year following Confirmation, upon notification submitted by the Debtors to the Court: (a) the Confirmation Order shall be vacated, (b) no additional distributions under the Plan shall be made, (c) the Debtors and all Holders of Claims and Interests shall be restored to the status quo ante as of the day immediately preceding the Confirmation Date as though the Confirmation Date had never occurred, and (d) the Debtors' obligations with respect to the Claims and Interests shall remain unchanged (except to the extent of any post-Confirmation pre-Effective Date payments) and nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver or release of any Claims or Interests by or against the Debtors or any other Person or to prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors or any Person in any further proceedings involving the Debtors. Notwithstanding anything set forth above, if the Debtors notify the Court that the Effective Date will not occur in accordance with the procedures set forth above, and the Initial Distribution Date has already occurred at the time of such notification, (i) the Holders of Allowed Claims against Leap and the Leap Creditor Trust will be entitled to retain all assets that have been transferred to them on the Initial Distribution Date or thereafter pursuant to the Plan prior to such notification (including but not limited to the Leap General Unsecured Claim Cash Distribution and the Cash proceeds of any Leap Creditor Trust Assets to the extent such Leap Creditor Trust Assets were converted to Cash prior to such notification); (ii) the Leap Creditor Trust shall retain the right to receive a distribution equal to but not greater than the value of the Leap General Unsecured Claim Equity Distribution, to be paid at a time and in a manner to be agreed upon by the Official Committee, the Informal Vendor Debt Committee and the Debtors, or otherwise pursuant to Court Order; and (iii) Leap, its Estate and its creditors shall be entitled to the benefit of the Intercompany Releases from the non-Leap Debtors and their Estates and the Holders of Old Vendor Debt, as described in Section 5.05 of the Plan. In exchange, Leap, its Estate and the Holders of Leap General Unsecured Claims shall be deemed to implement the 76 Intercompany Releases and to release the non-Leap Debtors and their creditors (including the current and former Holders of Old Vendor Debt (in the capacity as such Holder) and the current and former administrative agents under the Vendor Debt Facilities (in the capacity as such agent)) from all Intercompany Claims and Litigation Claims (as described in Section 5.05) held or asserted by Leap and/or the Holders of Leap General Unsecured Claims as of the Initial Distribution Date. Upon the implementation of the Intercompany Releases as of the Initial Distribution Date, all non-Leap Debtors and their Estates, the current and former Holders of Old Vendor Debt (in the capacity as such Holder) and the current and former administrative agents under the Vendor Debt Facilities (in the capacity as such agent), and all Holders of Claims or Interests against such non-Leap Debtors claiming through such non-Leap Debtors shall be deemed to have waived any rights or Claims against the Leap Creditor Trust Assets and the Leap General Unsecured Claim Cash Distribution, and, subject to the satisfaction of all Allowed Administrative Claims against Leap and Allowed Priority Claims against Leap, only Holders of Leap General Unsecured Claims shall have a right against the Leap Creditor Trust Assets, whether or not the Effective Date occurs. The effectiveness of the foregoing releases to former Holders of Old Vendor Debt (in the capacity as such Holder) and former administrative agents under the Vendor Debt Facilities (in the capacity as such agent) is expressly conditioned upon the granting of mutual releases by such parties to Leap, its Estate and the Holders of Leap General Unsecured Claims. If a former Holder of Old Vendor Debt (in the capacity as such Holder) or former administrative agent under the Vendor Debt Facilities (in the capacity as such agent) asserts any claim released hereunder against Leap, its Estate and the Holders of Leap General Unsecured Claims, such former Holder of Old Vendor Debt (in the capacity as such Holder) or former administrative agent under the Vendor Debt Facilities (in the capacity as such agent) shall not be entitled to the benefits of the releases described herein. SECTION 6.06 ORDER DENYING CONFIRMATION If an order denying confirmation of the Plan is entered, then the Plan shall be null and void in all respects, and nothing contained in the Plan shall (a) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims against or Interests in the Debtors; (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Holder of any Claim against, or Interest in, the Debtors; (c) prejudice in any manner any right, remedy or claim of the Debtors; or (d) be deemed an admission against interest by the Debtors, the Informal Vendor Debt Committee or the Official Committee, or any committees' respective members. ARTICLE VII. CONFIRMABILITY OF PLAN AND CRAMDOWN In the event at least one Impaired Class of Claims votes to accept the Plan (and at least one Impaired Class either votes to reject the Plan or is deemed to have rejected the Plan), one or more of the Debtors, as appropriate, shall request the Court to confirm the Plan under the cramdown provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. 77 ARTICLE VIII. PROVISIONS REGARDING VOTING AND DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER THE PLAN AND TREATMENT OF DISPUTED, CONTINGENT AND UNLIQUIDATED CLAIMS AND INTERESTS SECTION 8.01 VOTING OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS Each Holder of an Allowed Claim or an Allowed Interest in an Impaired Class of Claims or Interests shall be entitled to vote separately to accept or reject the Plan as provided in such order as may be entered by the Court establishing certain procedures with respect to the solicitation and tabulation of votes to accept or reject the Plan, or any other order or orders of the Court. SECTION 8.02 METHOD OF DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER THE PLAN (a) Distributions Under the Plan Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Leap Creditor Trust Agreement (which shall govern the timing of distributions to Holders of Leap General Unsecured Claims), on the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter to the extent that the Plan provides for distributions on account of Allowed Claims or Allowed Interests in the applicable Class, each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest will receive the full amount of the distributions that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims or Allowed Interests in the applicable Class, unless such distribution was received on an earlier date pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Beginning on the date that is 15 days after the end of the calendar quarter following the Effective Date and 15 days after the end of each calendar quarter thereafter, distributions will also be made respectively (a) to Holders of Claims or Interests to whom a distribution has become deliverable during the preceding calendar quarter and (b) to Holders of Disputed Claims or Disputed Interests in any such Class whose Claims or Interests were Allowed during the preceding calendar quarter. Such quarterly distributions will also be in the full amount that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims or Allowed Interests in the applicable Class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions to Holders of Disputed Secured Claims shall be paid as soon as practicable after such Claims are Allowed. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, and except with respect to Claims against Leap, all Cash necessary for the Reorganized Debtors to make payments pursuant to the Plan will be obtained from the applicable Debtors' existing cash balances, the operations of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors or post-Effective Date borrowings, as applicable. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, all Cash necessary for the Leap Creditor Trust to make payments pursuant to the Plan for Holders of Claims against Leap will be obtained from assets transferred to the Leap Creditor Trust in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 78 The Disbursing Agents will make all distributions of Cash and securities required to be distributed under the applicable provisions of the Plan. Any Disbursing Agent may employ or contract with other entities to assist in or make the distributions required by the Plan. Each Disbursing Agent will serve without bond, and each Disbursing Agent, other than the Reorganized Debtors and the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee, will receive, without further Court approval, reasonable compensation for distribution services rendered pursuant to the Plan and reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services from the Reorganized Debtors on terms acceptable to the Reorganized Debtors. Any compensation for distribution services rendered by the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee pursuant to the Plan or the Leap Creditor Trust and reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services shall be paid from Cash or assets transferred to the Leap Creditor Trust. Cash payments made pursuant to the Plan will be in U.S. dollars by checks drawn on or wire transfers from a bank selected by the Disbursing Agent. Except as otherwise set forth in the Leap Creditor Trust, Cash payments of $1,000,000 or more to be made pursuant to the Plan will, to the extent requested in writing no later than five days after the Confirmation Date, be made by wire transfer from a bank. Cash payments to foreign creditors, if any, may be made, at the option of the Disbursing Agent, in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction. The Disbursing Agent will make all distributions required under the applicable provisions of the Plan and the Leap Creditor Trust. (b) Timing and Methods of Distributions (i) Compliance with Tax Requirements In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable and except as provided in Section 5.17(b) of this Plan, each Disbursing Agent must comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on it by any governmental unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan will be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. The Disbursing Agents will be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan: (i) each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest that is to receive a distribution of Cash pursuant to the Plan will have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any governmental unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution; and (ii) no distribution will be made to or on behalf of such Holder pursuant to the Plan unless and until such Holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the Disbursing Agents for the payment and satisfaction of such tax obligations. Any Cash to be distributed pursuant to the Plan will, pending the implementation of such arrangements, be treated as an undeliverable distribution pursuant to the Plan. 79 (ii) Pro Rata Distribution When the Plan provides for Pro Rata distribution, the property to be distributed under the Plan shall be divided Pro Rata among the Holders of Allowed Claims or Allowed Interests of the relevant Class for that particular Debtor. (iii) Distribution Record Date As of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the transfer registers for any Old Securities and Old Vendor Debt maintained by the Debtors, or their respective agents, will be closed. The Disbursing Agents and the respective agents of the Debtors will have no obligation to recognize the transfer of the Old Securities and Old Vendor Debt occurring after the Distribution Record Date, and will be entitled for all purposes relating to the Plan to recognize and deal only with those Holders of record as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. Distributions under the Plan shall be made by the Debtors, Leap Creditor Trust or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, for the benefit of the Holders of Allowed Administrative Claims and Allowed Claims in the Debtors' respective books and records, unless such addresses are superseded by addresses listed on proofs of claim or transfers of claims filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001. (iv) Fractional Shares The calculation of percentage distribution of the New Common Stock to be made to Holders of certain Allowed Claims and Interests, as provided for in the Plan, may mathematically entitle such Holder to a fractional interest in the New Common Stock. The number of shares of New Common Stock to be received by a Holder of an Allowed Claim and/or Interest shall be rounded to the next greater or lower whole number of shares as follows: (a) fractions of 1/2 or greater shall be rounded to the next greater whole number and (b) fractions of less than 1/2 shall be rounded to the next lower whole number. The total number of shares of New Common Stock to be distributed to a class of Claims or Interests shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the rounding described above. No consideration shall be provided in lieu of the fractional shares that are rounded down and not issued. SECTION 8.03 SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED INSTRUMENTS In addition to any requirements under the Bylaws of the Debtors, any Holder of a Claim evidenced by an Instrument that has been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed will, in lieu of surrendering such Instrument, deliver to the Disbursing Agent: (a) evidence satisfactory to the Disbursing Agent of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction; and (b) such security or indemnity as may be required by the Disbursing Agent to hold the Disbursing Agent harmless from any damages, liabilities or costs incurred in treating such individual as a Holder of an Instrument. Upon compliance with the Plan, the Holder of a Claim evidenced by such an Instrument will, for all purposes under the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered an Instrument, as applicable. SECTION 8.04 UNDELIVERABLE OR UNCLAIMED DISTRIBUTIONS Any Person that is entitled to receive a cash distribution under the Plan but that fails to cash a check within 90 days of its issuance shall be entitled to receive a reissued check from the Leap Creditor Trust or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, for the amount of the 80 original check, without any interest, if such person requests the Disbursing Agent to reissue such check and provides the Disbursing Agent with such documentation as the Disbursing Agent requests to verify that such Person is entitled to such check, prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date. If a Person fails to cash a check within 90 days of its issuance and fails to request reissuance of such check prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, such Person shall not be entitled to receive any distribution under this Plan. If the distribution to any Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest is returned to a Disbursing Agent as undeliverable, no further distributions will be made to such Holder unless and until the applicable Disbursing Agent is notified in writing of such Holder's then-current address. Undeliverable distributions will remain in the possession of the Disbursing Agent pursuant to the Plan until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable. Undeliverable cash will be held in trust in segregated bank accounts in the name of the Disbursing Agent for the benefit of the potential claimants of such funds, and will be accounted for separately. Except as set forth in the Leap Creditor Trust Agreement, the Disbursing Agent holding undeliverable cash shall invest such cash in a manner consistent with Reorganized Cricket's investment and deposit guidelines. Any distribution which is not claimed within one year of the Effective Date shall be deemed property of, as applicable, the Leap Creditor Trust and the Reorganized Debtors, and to the extent deemed the property of the Leap Creditor Trust, shall be distributed by the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee, on a Pro Rata basis, to the Holders of beneficial interests in the Leap Creditor Trust as soon as practicable thereafter. SECTION 8.05 DISPUTED CLAIMS; RESERVE AND ESTIMATIONS (a) Treatment of Disputed Claims Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no payments or distributions will be made on account of a Disputed Claim or a Disputed Interest until such Claim or Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest. The Leap Creditor Trust Trustee or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may, at any time, request that the Court estimate any contingent or unliquidated Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, irrespective of whether any Debtor previously objected to such Claim or whether the Court has ruled on any such objection. The Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any contingent or unliquidated Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to the Claim, including during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. If the Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount will constitute either the Allowed Amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Court. If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on such Claim, the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate payment on account of such Claim. All of these Claims objection, estimation and resolution procedures are cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of one another. In addition to seeking estimation of Claims as provided in the Plan, the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may resolve or adjudicate certain Disputed Claims of Holders in Unimpaired Classes in the manner in which the amount of such Claim and the rights of the Holder of such Claim would have been resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced, subject to any applicable discharge and limitations on amounts of claims and remedies available under bankruptcy law. Claims may be subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn or resolved by the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable. 81 (b) Distributions on Account of Disputed Claims Once They Are Allowed Except as set forth in the Leap Creditor Trust Agreement, within 15 days following the end of each calendar quarter, the Disbursing Agent will make all distributions on account of any Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest that has become an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest in accordance with the Plan. Such distributions will be made pursuant to the provisions of the Plan governing the applicable Class. Holders of Disputed Claims or Disputed Interests that are ultimately Allowed will not be entitled to receive, on the basis of the amounts ultimately allowed, any interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions to Holders of Disputed Secured Claims shall be paid as soon as practicable after such Claims are Allowed. (c) Reserve for Leap Claims by the Leap Creditor Trust In accordance with the terms of the Leap Creditor Trust, and as more fully set forth therein, the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee shall be authorized to make distributions to Holders of Allowed Leap Administrative Claims and Allowed Leap General Unsecured Claims from time to time. The total amount of Allowed Leap Administrative Claims and Allowed Leap General Unsecured Claims (and the value of certain of Leap assets and certain Leap Litigation Claims) may not be known until after certain distributions are made, either because certain Claims will be Disputed Claims or because those Claims will not have been made by their Holders prior to the Effective Date. As a result, the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee shall hold back from the distributions from the Leap Creditor Trust (as more fully described in the Leap Creditor Trust Agreement) reserves in respect of each Administrative Claim and Disputed Claim against Leap until such Claims are resolved (the "Reserve"), so that (i) each estimated Administrative Claim not otherwise fully reserved for by Leap is fully reserved for by the Leap Creditor Trust; and (ii) the total amount of all Allowed Leap General Unsecured Claims includes the sum of (A) the amount of each Disputed Claim (or the maximum amount of any such Disputed Claim as estimated by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, if less), and (B) potential rejection claims, in each case until such Claims are resolved. Distributions from the Leap Creditor Trust will be made only to the Holders of Claims that have been Allowed. (d) Reserve for Leap Administrative and Priority Claims In connection with the Leap General Unsecured Claim Cash Distribution, prior to the Initial Distribution Date, Leap shall establish an appropriate reserve in an amount to be agreed upon by Leap and the Official Committee, to satisfy Allowed Administrative Claims against Leap through and including the Effective Date (including Claims for compensation and reimbursement of expenses by professionals providing services to Leap) and Allowed Priority Claims against Leap. If and to the extent that such reserves are insufficient to satisfy all such Allowed Administrative Claims against Leap and Allowed Priority Claims against Leap, such Claims shall be satisfied by assets transferred or transferable to the Leap Creditor Trust that have not then been distributed to holders of beneficial interests in the Leap Creditor Trust. Following the Effective Date, after the satisfaction of all Allowed Administrative Claims and Allowed Priority Claims against Leap and the resolution of all Disputed Administrative Claims and Disputed Priority Claims against Leap, any remaining Cash held in the reserve of Reorganized Leap will be distributed to the Leap Creditor Trust. Under no circumstances shall Reorganized 82 Leap, Cricket or any other Debtor or Reorganized Debtor be liable in any way for any Claims against Leap, including such Allowed Administrative Claims and Allowed Priority Claims. (e) Reserve for Cricket Companies' Administrative and Priority Claims Prior to the Confirmation Date, Cricket shall establish an appropriate reserve in an amount to be agreed upon by Cricket and the Informal Vendor Debt Committee, to satisfy Allowed Administrative Claims against Cricket and the other Cricket companies through and including the Effective Date (including Claims for compensation and reimbursement of expenses by professionals providing services) and Allowed Priority Claims against Cricket and the other Cricket companies. If and to the extent that such reserves are insufficient to satisfy all such Allowed Administrative Claims and Allowed Priority Claims, such Claims shall be satisfied by other assets of Cricket. Following the Effective Date, after the satisfaction of all Allowed Administrative Claims and Allowed Priority Claims and the resolution of all Disputed Administrative Claims and Disputed Priority Claims, any remaining Cash held in the reserve of Reorganized Cricket will become available to Reorganized Cricket for use in its discretion. Under no circumstances shall Leap or the Leap Creditor Trust be liable in any way for any Claims against non-Leap Debtors, including any such Allowed Administrative Claims and Allowed Priority Claims. Nothing contained herein shall diminish the reserve established for cure amounts set forth in Section 4.01 hereof. (f) Reserve for Disputed Old Vendor Debt Claims Prior to the Effective Date, Cricket shall establish a reserve in respect of each Disputed Old Vendor Debt Claim, by holding back that portion of the Old Vendor Debt Distribution that would be distributed in respect of each such Disputed Old Vendor Debt Claim as if such Claim was an Allowed Claim on the Effective Date, until such Disputed Claim is resolved. If the resolution of a Disputed Old Vendor Debt Claim results in such Claim becoming an Allowed Old Vendor Debt Claim, that portion of the Old Vendor Debt Distribution held back in respect of such Claim shall be Distributed (to the extent of the Allowed portion of such Old Vendor Debt Claim) to the Holder thereof as promptly as practicable. Following the Effective Date, after the resolution of all such Disputed Old Vendor Debt Claims, any remaining Reorganized Leap Common Stock or New Senior Notes held in the reserve of Reorganized Cricket shall be distributed to the Holders of Allowed Old Vendor Debt Claims on a Pro Rata basis. SECTION 8.06 SETOFFS Except with respect to claims released pursuant to the Plan or any contract, instrument, release, indenture or other agreement or document created in connection with the Plan, the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee and the Reorganized Debtors may, as applicable and pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable nonbankruptcy law, set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Claim), the claims, rights and causes of action of any nature that the Leap Creditor Trust Trustee or any of the Reorganized Debtors may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder will constitute a waiver or release by the Leap Creditor Trust or Reorganized Debtors of any such claims, rights and causes 83 of action that the Debtors, the Leap Creditor Trust or the Reorganized Debtors may possess against such Holder.

STIPULATION AND ORDER RE TECHNICAL MODIFICATION TO THE DEBTORS' FIFTH AMENDED JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION DATED AS OF JULY 30, 2003 [LEAP CLASS 1A: GLH CLAIM] Fed. Tax Id. Nos. 33-0811062 and 33-0879924 [No Hearing Required] LATHAM & WATKINS LLP STIPULATION RE TECHNICAL MODIFICATION TO THE DEBTORS' ATTORNEYS AT LAW JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION DATED AS OF JULY 30, 2003 LOS ANGELES [LEAP CLASS 1A: GLH CLAIM] This Stipulation re Technical Modification to the Debtors' Fifth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Dated as of July 30, 2003 [Leap Class 1A: GLH Claim] (the "Stipulation") by and among the above captioned debtors and debtors-in-possession (collectively, the "Debtors"), GLH Communications, Inc. ("GLH"), and NTCH, Inc. ("NTCH") with reference to the following: RECITALS A. On or about April 13, 2003 (the "Commencement Date"), the Debtors each commenced cases in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California (the "Bankruptcy Court") under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code"). By order dated April 14, 2003, these cases became jointly administered cases. The Debtors continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors-in-possession pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sections 1107(a) and 1108. B. Leap Wireless International, Inc. ("Leap") executed that certain Secured Promissory Note, dated April 9, 2002, in favor of GLH, and Leap and GLH are parties to that certain Pledge Agreement, dated as of April 9, 2002, with Leap as pledgor and GLH as pledgee, each as amended from time to time (collectively, the "GLH Loan Documents "). Leap holds 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Cricket Licensee XI, Inc. ("Licensee XI"), and Leap has pledged the stock of Licensee XI to secure its obligations under the GLH Loan Documents (such stock, the "GLH Collateral"). Licensee XI holds the following FCC wireless licenses (collectively, the "Licenses"): BTA: 228 Market: Kennewick-Pasco-Richland State: Washington Block: C2 MHz: 15 Call Sign: WPOK587 BTA: 472 Market: Wichita State: Kansas Block: C1 MHz: 15 Call Sign: WPOK606 LATHAM & WATKINS LLP STIPULATION RE TECHNICAL MODIFICATION TO THE DEBTORS' ATTORNEYS AT LAW JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION DATED AS OF JULY 30, 2003 LOS ANGELES [LEAP CLASS 1A: GLH CLAIM] 2 BTA: 482 Market: Yakima State: Washington Block: C2 MHz: 15 Call Sign: WPOK607 C. GLH filed Claim No. 677 against Leap in the amount of $8,698,339.56 and Claim No. 680 against Licensee XI in the amount of $8,698,339.56 with respect to the GLH Loan Documents (collectively, the "GLH Claim").(1) The Debtors' Fifth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization dated as of July 30, 2003 (the "Plan") designates the GLH Claim as a secured claim in Class 1A of Leap. D. The Plan provides that GLH shall be entitled to receive the GLH Collateral in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of and in exchange for the GLH Claim. E. On September 8, 2003, GLH filed its "Limited Objection to Confirmation of Fifth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization dated July 30, 2003" (the "Plan Objection"). Subsequent thereto, MCG PCS, Inc. ("MCG") filed its objection to the GLH treatment, asserting that the value of the GLH Collateral substantially exceeds the amount of the GLH Claim. GLH disagrees with MCG and believes that the value of the GLH Collateral is substantially less than the amount of the GLH Claim. F. On October 3, 2003, the Debtors filed their First Omnibus Objection to Secured Claims (the "Omnibus Objection"). As identified in the Omnibus Objection, the Debtors objected to GLH's Claim No. 680 against Licensee XI on the grounds that GLH does not have a secured claim against Licensee XI (the "GLH Claim Objection"). The Debtors did not object to GLH's Claim No. 677 against Leap. Leap acknowledges the validity of the GLH Claim as against Leap and the validity of GLH's security interest in the GLH Collateral. - ---------- (1) If and to the extent the sum of the Auction Net Sales Proceeds (as defined below) in respect of the Licenses and the net amount for which the GLH Collateral is sold at the Foreclosure exceeds the amount of the GLH Claim, the GLH Claim shall include accrued post-petition interest, plus all reasonable fees and costs incurred by GLH with respect to the obligations which give rise to the GLH Claim (if and to the extent that GLH is entitled to recover such fees and costs under the GLH Loan Documents and applicable law). LATHAM & WATKINS LLP STIPULATION RE TECHNICAL MODIFICATION TO THE DEBTORS' ATTORNEYS AT LAW JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION DATED AS OF JULY 30, 2003 LOS ANGELES [LEAP CLASS 1A: GLH CLAIM] 3 G. On October 8, 2003, a hearing was held with respect to the Plan Objection at which time, the Debtors, GLH and NTCH agreed on the record to a modification of the treatment of the GLH Claim under the Plan pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below, as subsequently extended as described in Paragraph H below. H. Although Licensee XI and its broker have commenced some marketing activities with respect to the Licenses, the Debtors believe that extending the auction date to January 28, 2004 (from mid-December 2003) increases the prospects for obtaining the highest possible bids for the Licenses. GLH does not object to such extension. STIPULATION NOW THEREFORE, based upon the foregoing and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Debtors, GLH and NTCH stipulate and agree as follows and further stipulate and agree that the Plan is amended hereby with respect to the GLH Claim: THE SALE AUCTION 1. Leap shall cause Licensee XI to continue the marketing of each of the Licenses for sale on an "as-is" basis to the highest, all cash bidder for each such License at a sale auction to take place on January 28, 2004 at 10:00 a.m. at the offices of Leap at 10307 Pacific Center Court, San Diego, California 92121 (the "Sale Auction"). Leap and Licensee XI shall take such actions as they deem appropriate to market the Licenses, including the engagement of a broker. All reasonable costs related to the marketing and sale of the Licenses incurred by Leap and Licensee XI, including without limitation, brokerage commissions and costs, attorneys' fees and disbursements, advertising costs and other similar expenses, shall be deemed costs of sale to be paid to Leap and Licensee XI, as appropriate, out of any sales proceeds obtained at the closings of the transfers of the Licenses from any winning bidder or bidders at the Sale Auction. Licensee XI shall be entitled to enter into a customary brokerage agreement for the Licenses with Falkenberg Capital Corporation and to pay the brokerage commissions and costs thereunder, without further notice or order of the Bankruptcy Court. LATHAM & WATKINS LLP STIPULATION RE TECHNICAL MODIFICATION TO THE DEBTORS' ATTORNEYS AT LAW JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION DATED AS OF JULY 30, 2003 LOS ANGELES [LEAP CLASS 1A: GLH CLAIM] 4 2. In order to participate in the Sale Auction, each potential bidder at the Sale Auction must: (i) be qualified to hold the applicable License(s) under applicable Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") laws, rules and regulations; and (ii) provide evidence, on or prior to the close of business on January 22, 2004, to the satisfaction of Leap and Licensee XI, of such bidder's ability to consummate the purchase of the applicable License(s) in a timely fashion, including evidence of adequate financial resources or financing, and including a financial guaranty, if appropriate. In addition, each potential bidder for the Kennewick, WA License and/or the Yakima, WA License must qualify as a "designated entity" capable of holding such Licenses under applicable FCC laws, rules and regulations, and each such bidder must furnish to Leap and Licensee XI reasonable evidence of such qualification on or prior to the close of business on January 22, 2004, in order to participate in the Sale Auction for such Licenses. Leap and Licensee XI shall disclose to GLH all such evidence of financial wherewithal and regulatory qualification received from potential bidders not later than 10:00 a.m., P.S.T., on January 23, 2004. Not later than 12:00 p.m., P.S.T., on January 26, 2004, GLH shall deliver to Leap and Licensee XI written notice of GLH's determination, in its reasonable judgment, that a potential bidder does not have adequate financial resources or financing to consummate the purchase of License(s), or that it does not qualify to hold such License(s) under applicable FCC laws, rules and regulations. If GLH does not timely deliver written notice of such reasonable determination to Leap and Licensee XI, GLH shall be deemed to have approved the qualifications of each such potential bidder at the Sale Auction. 3. The Sale Auction shall be conducted through a single round of confidential, sealed bids submitted to Leap, Licensee XI and their counsel prior to the start of the Sale Auction. At or prior to the commencement of the Sale Auction, Leap and Licensee XI shall disclose to GLH each such confidential, sealed bid so that GLH can grant or withhold its consent pursuant to and in accordance with Paragraph 5 hereof, if applicable. At the conclusion of the Sale Auction, the properly qualified high bidders (i.e., "winning bidders"), if any, must sign a binding purchase and sale agreement pursuant to which each such winning bidder will agree to purchase such License(s), subject to the receipt of all required FCC consents and approvals, but LATHAM & WATKINS LLP STIPULATION RE TECHNICAL MODIFICATION TO THE DEBTORS' ATTORNEYS AT LAW JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION DATED AS OF JULY 30, 2003 LOS ANGELES [LEAP CLASS 1A: GLH CLAIM] 5 not to any other closing conditions. Leap will distribute the form of purchase and sale agreement, escrow agreement and PCS facilities management agreement (to facilitate the buildout of the Kennewick, WA and Yakima, WA licenses at the winning bidder's sole election and expense), each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Licensee XI and GLH, to all interested potential bidders at least ten (10) days prior to the Sale Auction. Each winning bidder also must deliver to a third party escrow agent at the conclusion of the Sale Auction a cash deposit equal to ten percent (10%) of its winning bid(s), which deposit shall be subject to forfeiture to GLH in the event of a material breach of the purchase and sale agreement by such winning bidder or if such winning bidder fails to be qualified to hold the applicable License(s) under applicable FCC laws, rules and regulations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Stipulation, any such deposit forfeited to GLH shall be deemed a payment by Leap against the GLH Claim, which claim shall be reduced by the amount of each such forfeited deposit. The closings of the transfers of the Licenses, if any, to the respective winning bidders at the Sale Auction shall occur as promptly as practical after the Sale Auction, subject to the receipt of all required FCC consents and approvals. Each winning bidder in the Sale Auction also shall be responsible for and shall pay the "unjust enrichment" penalties, if any, payable to the FCC in connection with the closing of the transfer of the License(s) being sold to such winning bidder. 4. In the event the aggregate net sales proceeds (after deducting the costs of sale) obtained at the closings of the transfers of the Licenses to the winning bidders from the Sale Auction (the "Auction Net Sales Proceeds") exceed the GLH Claim amount, the GLH Claim shall be paid by Leap in full and any excess net sales proceeds and any unsold Licenses shall be transferred to the Leap Creditor Trust. 5. In the event the Auction Net Sales Proceeds resulting from any such Sale Auction would be less than the GLH Claim amount (hereinafter, a "Short Sale"), any such proposed Short Sale shall not occur unless GLH consents thereto (or is deemed to consent thereto) at the Sale Auction. GLH shall have no obligation to give such consent and any such consent by GLH shall be at its sole and absolute discretion. Any such consent by GLH shall be granted or withheld by GLH at the Sale Auction; provided, that if GLH fails to attend the Sale LATHAM & WATKINS LLP STIPULATION RE TECHNICAL MODIFICATION TO THE DEBTORS' ATTORNEYS AT LAW JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION DATED AS OF JULY 30, 2003 LOS ANGELES [LEAP CLASS 1A: GLH CLAIM] 6 Auction (in person or by telephone), GLH's consent to any Short Sale shall be deemed granted. Any such consent granted or deemed granted by GLH shall be irrevocable and shall be affirmed in writing by GLH at Leap's request. In the event GLH consents or is deemed to consent to any such Short Sale, the Auction Net Sales Proceeds shall be delivered to GLH promptly following the closings of the transfers of the Licenses. That amount which is equal to the difference between the amount of Auction Net Sales Proceeds received by GLH and the amount of the GLH Claim shall become an allowed, unsecured claim entitled to treatment under the Plan as a Leap Class 4 Claim; provided, however, if a Foreclosure is conducted pursuant to Paragraphs 6 and 7 of this Stipulation, that amount of the GLH Claim that will become an allowed, unsecured claim entitled to treatment as a Leap Class 4 Claim shall be determined pursuant to Paragraph 8 of this Stipulation.

In the event any of the Licenses are not sold at the Sale Auction (subject to the receipt of all required FCC consents and approvals), or if the closing of the transfer of one or more Licenses to the winning bidders at the Sale Auction does not occur within the time contemplated by the purchase and sale agreement, GLH shall be entitled to, and is hereby granted, relief from the automatic stay effective as of January 29, 2004 to exercise all of its rights and remedies with respect to the GLH Collateral, including without limitation, to foreclose on the GLH Collateral in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, subject to the receipt of all required FCC consents and approvals and to Licensee XI's obligations, if any, to close the transfer of any of the Licenses to the winning bidders from the Sale Auction (the "Foreclosure"). GLH represents and warrants that it is qualified as a "designated entity" capable of holding or controlling the Licenses under applicable FCC laws, rules and regulations. 7. The Foreclosure shall be deemed proper and in compliance with the California Commercial Code in all respects so long as the Foreclosure is conducted as follows: a. Place and Time of Foreclosure. The Foreclosure shall be held at the offices of Rutan & Tucker LLP, 611 Anton Blvd., Suite 1400, Costa Mesa, California 92626 at 10:00 a.m. on a business day that is at least LATHAM & WATKINS LLP STIPULATION RE TECHNICAL MODIFICATION TO THE DEBTORS' ATTORNEYS AT LAW JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION DATED AS OF JULY 30, 2003 LOS ANGELES [LEAP CLASS 1A: GLH CLAIM] 7 15 days after Notice (as defined below) has been mailed, but not earlier than February 13, 2004.

GLH shall provide notice of the Foreclosure as follows: by mailing of written notice (the "Notice") of the Foreclosure via first class mail, deposited after January 28, 2004, to (1) the special notice list in these cases (with such list provided to counsel for GLH by the counsel for Leap within 5 business days of the date of this Stipulation); (2) the twenty largest wireless carriers as identified by Leap (at the addresses identified by counsel for Leap and provided to counsel for GLH by the counsel for Leap within 5 business days of the date of this Stipulation); and (3) those carriers that GLH determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) operate in and/or immediately adjacent to the markets covered by the Licenses.

That amount (if any) which is equal to the difference between (i) the sum of (A) the amount of the Auction Net Sales Proceeds received by GLH, if any, and (B) the net amount for which the GLH Collateral was sold at the Foreclosure (whether by way of credit bid or otherwise) and (ii) the amount of the GLH Claim, shall become an allowed, unsecured claim entitled to treatment under the Plan as a Leap Class 4 Claim. In the event GLH withholds its consent to a proposed Short Sale of Licenses at the Sale Auction, then GLH shall make (and shall be deemed to make) an opening credit bid at the Foreclosure equal to the sum of the expected Auction Net Sales Proceeds that would have been received by GLH in respect of the last high bid from a properly qualified bidder for each such License for which GLH's consent to the proposed Short Sale was withheld. In the event (i) the sum of (A) the amount of the Auction Net Sales Proceeds received by GLH, if any, and (B) the net amount for which the GLH Collateral was sold at the Foreclosure (whether by way of credit bid or otherwise) exceeds (ii) LATHAM & WATKINS LLP STIPULATION RE TECHNICAL MODIFICATION TO THE DEBTORS' ATTORNEYS AT LAW JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION DATED AS OF JULY 30, 2003 LOS ANGELES [LEAP CLASS 1A: GLH CLAIM] 8 the amount of the GLH Claim, that excess amount (after payment of all expenses related to the Foreclosure) shall be transferred to the Leap Creditor Trust. 9. At or after the Foreclosure, if so requested, Licensee XI will enter into a PCS facilities management agreement (to facilitate the buildout of the Kennewick, WA and Yakima, WA licenses at purchaser's sole election and expense) with the purchaser of the GLH Collateral at the Foreclosure, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Licensee XI and such purchaser. GENERAL TERMS AND PROVISIONS 10. Buildout Certificate. By no later than December 23, 2003, Debtors will file, or cause to be filed, the FCC Form 601 as a "required notification" of the completion of the buildout requirements for broadband PCS call sign WPOK606 (Wichita, Kansas). FCC Form 601 will be filed via the FCC's ULS (online Universal Licensing System).

Cricket, GLH and NTCH may modify the foregoing terms by mutual agreement without further notice or order of the Bankruptcy Court. Cricket shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to operate the Nashville switch in a manner consistent with prior practice but otherwise makes no covenants, representations or warranties, express or implied, relating thereto. 12.

LATHAM & WATKINS LLP STIPULATION RE TECHNICAL MODIFICATION TO THE DEBTORS' ATTORNEYS AT LAW JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION DATED AS OF JULY 30, 2003 LOS ANGELES [LEAP CLASS 1A: GLH CLAIM] 10 13. Payment to Cricket Communications - Confirmation of Prior Termination of Switch Agreement. Debtors have alleged that GLH is obligated to Cricket in the amount of $66,898.06 for work performed on one of Cricket's switches for GLH. GLH has disputed that allegation, asserting, among other things, that the amount charged includes charges for work for which GLH is not obligated to reimburse Cricket. GLH has further asserted that it has additional offset rights and claims against Cricket arising out of Cricket's failure to provide sufficient capacity for GLH in the Memphis market. The Debtors dispute such allegation of GLH. The foregoing disputes shall be fully and finally resolved by the payment of $33,500 from GLH to Cricket. Such payment shall be paid to Cricket not later than January 29, 2004. Cricket, GLH and NTCH acknowledge and agree that the Switch Sharing Agreement, entered into as of June 14, 2001 by and between Cricket, GLH and NTCH has been terminated, and, except as provided in this Stipulation, neither GLH nor any of the Debtors has any further liability or obligations with respect thereto. 14. Withdrawal of Objections. GLH hereby withdraws the Plan Objection and GLH, to the extent that GLH has voted against the Debtors' Plan of Reorganization, shall be deemed to have voted in favor of the Plan. 15. Unjust Enrichment Fee. Debtors have been advised by the FCC that an "unjust enrichment fee" in the approximate amount of $346,000 remains owing with respect to licenses acquired by one or more of the Debtors from GLH and/or a GLH affiliate or stockholder (which are not the Licenses owned by Licensee XI). The Debtors acknowledge and agree that GLH, NTCH and Glenn Ishihara have no liability with respect thereto. GLH, NTCH and Mr. Ishihara, however, hereby agree to cooperate with Debtors and execute and deliver all such instruments, and take all such other actions, as Debtors may reasonably request from time to time to facilitate the final transfer of such licenses to Debtors upon payment of such "unjust enrichment fee"; provided, however, Cricket shall immediately reimburse GLH, NTCH and Mr. Ishihara, as applicable, for any material out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by GLH, NTCH or Mr. Ishihara in connection with such cooperation.

Counterpart. This Stipulation may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 18. Conflicting Provisions. To the extent any term or condition herein is inconsistent with or conflicts with any term or condition set forth in the Plan, the terms and conditions set forth herein shall control. 19. Survival and Effectiveness. This Stipulation shall be effective upon entry by the Bankruptcy Court of an order approving the terms hereof.
