INTRODUCTION

On March 22, 1982, the Board of Directors of Clifton Forge-Waynesboro Telephone Company adopted an unfunded non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Old Plan”). The purpose of the Old Plan was to supplement the retirement benefits payable under NTELOS Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) tax-qualified plans to those key employees selected to participate. The Board determined that the adoption of the Old Plan would assist it in attracting and retaining those employees whose judgment, abilities and experience will contribute to its continued progress.

Effective January 1, 1994, the Old Plan was amended and restated to (1) change the name of the Old Plan to reflect the change in the Old Plan’s sponsorship, (2) revise the benefit formula and (3) provide pre-retirement death and disability benefits to those participants who die or become disabled while employed by the Company. Effective January 1, 2000, the Old Plan was amended primarily (1) to provide participants with certain benefits upon termination of employment after a change in control and (2) to modify the calculation of benefits provided under the Old Plan. Effective January 1, 2002, the Old Plan was amended primarily to (1) modify the definition of a change in control, (2) modify the noncompetition provisions of the Old Plan, (3) provide for certain accelerated payments upon a change in control, and (4) limit the Company’s ability to amend the Old Plan. Effective July 1, 2002, the Old Plan was amended to (1) modify the definition of final pay and (2) provide that, in the event of a merger or acquisition, prior service with the merged or acquired entity would not be credited for purposes of the Old Plan. Effective September 16, 2003, the Old Plan was amended to (1) provide that benefits provided under the Old Plan would not be reduced to reflect early commencement for individuals employed on September 16, 2003 whose employment subsequently was terminated by the Company without cause or by the participant for good reason, (2) modify the definitions of cause and change in control, (3) modify the noncompetition provisions of the Old Plan, (4) add a confidentiality provision and (5) make such other changes as are set forth herein.

In response to the enactment of Section 409A of the Code, the Company froze the Old Plan, so that benefits provided under the Old Plan were limited to benefits that were earned or accrued and vested or nonforfeitable (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) as of December 31, 2004 (and related earnings and losses to the extent applicable). In connection with the amendment of the Old Plan, the Company also adopted this new unfunded non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”), effective January 1, 2005, which provided that its provisions would be the same as those under the Old Plan (but without a duplication of benefits), except that (1) the Plan would not include any term, condition or provision that does not satisfy Section 409A of the Code (except as otherwise permitted under the Section 409A transition rules) and (2) the benefits provided under the Plan would include only benefits earned or accrued under the Plan which are forfeitable or unvested as of December 31, 2004 and benefits earned or accrued on or after January 1, 2005 (and related earnings and losses to the extent applicable). The foregoing amendment of the Old Plan and adoption of this Plan were contingent on the consent of the affected participants, which consent the Company obtained.

In connection with the Company’s proposed tender offer to acquire shares of its stock, effective as of January 11, 2005, the Company also amended the Old Plan and this Plan to remove all noncompetition and confidentiality forfeiture provisions relating to benefits of Participants who were actively employed by the Company on December 31, 2004, to the extent such benefits were earned or accrued

as of December 31, 2004 and otherwise vested or nonforfeitable (not considering those forfeiture provisions) and also to vest fully and remove all such forfeiture provisions relating to certain benefits of Mary McDermott that were earned and accrued as of December 31, 2004 under the Old Plan and this Plan. The Company vested the accrued benefits of Mary McDermott that would be equal to the amount of her benefits that were earned and accrued as of December 31, 2004 under the Old Plan and this Plan treating her as if she (i) had seven (7) years of service solely for purposes of determining her rights for benefits if she were to voluntarily terminate employment (but not for purposes of calculating her “Applicable Percentage”) and (ii) was fully vested in the NTELOS Inc. Savings and Security Plan and the Revised Retirement Plan for the Employees of NTELOS Inc. Contingent on consummation of the tender offer, effective as of January 11, 2005, the Company terminated the portions of the Old Plan and this Plan that related to the benefits of Participants who were actively employed by the Company on December 31, 2004, to the extent such benefits were earned and accrued as of December 31, 2004 and vested or nonforfeitable (after the vesting and elimination of the forfeiture provisions described above). In connection therewith, the Company made a lump sum distribution to the affected Participants of the present value of their vested benefits under the terminated portions of the Old Plan and this Plan. The benefits of Participants who were actively employed by the Company on December 31, 2004 that were earned and accrued as of such time and that were vested or nonforfeitable (after the vesting and elimination of the forfeiture provisions described herein) were not increased by any additional Years of Service to which the Participant may be entitled in connection with any severance pay the Participant might receive nor did they reflect the provisions of Old Plan Section 3.02(d) (Section 3.02(c) in this Plan) which gives certain Participants who were employed by the Company on September 16, 2003 and whose employment subsequently is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason certain additional benefits, which provisions shall only continue with respect to the portion of this Plan that has not been terminated.

In connection with the Company’s proposed tender offer to acquire shares of its stock, effective as of February 23, 2005, the Company amended the definition of Final Pay to exclude (i) any compensation a Participant recognizes relating to the exercise, cancellation, sale, transfer or other disposition of seventy-five percent (75%) of the stock options granted to the Participant under the NTELOS Inc. Stock Option Plan that are outstanding as of February 1, 2005 and (ii) if the tender offer is consummated by August 15, 2005, any compensation the Participant recognizes relating to the exercise, cancellation, sale, transfer or other disposition of the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of the stock options granted to the Participant under the NTELOS Inc. Stock Option Plan that are outstanding as of February 1, 2005.

In connection with the freezing of the Old Plan and the adoption of this Plan and in order to clarify that there are no duplication of benefits between the Old Plan and this Plan, effective as of April 27, 2005, the Company amended the definition of Final Pay to exclude amounts paid pursuant to this Plan and the Old Plan.

On May 2, 2005, a change in control as defined under the previous plan document occurred, pursuant to which the Quadrangle Entities (as defined herein) and the CVC Entities (as defined herein) became the owners of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the Plan and consistent with Section 409A of the Code, the benefits that were earned or accrued and vested or nonforfeitable through that time (calculated

2

consistent with the terms of the Plan) were paid. All such amounts that were paid in connection with such change in control reduces on an Actuarial Equivalent basis (but not below zero) any further benefits otherwise payable to any such Participant under the Plan.

Effective as of January 25, 2006, the Company amended the Plan to exclude from the definition of “Final Pay” any compensation income a Participant might recognize relating to the grant, vesting, exercise, payment, cancellation, sale, transfer or other disposition of any form of equity award, such as compensation income attributable to stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, phantom stock or other similar awards, unless the equity award to which that compensation income relates was granted to the Participant in lieu of salary, wages, bonuses and similar amounts, in which case all compensation income relating to any equity award granted in lieu of salary, wages, bonuses and the like shall be included within Final Pay. The Board, in its sole discretion, shall determine if any such equity award was granted in lieu of salary, wages, bonuses and the like.

The Plan has been operated since its inception in compliance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the administrative guidance issued with respect thereto. On December 21, 2006, the Company amended and restated the Plan to comply in form with Section 409A of the Code, effective retroactively to January 1, 2005.

This Plan is intended to be a plan that is unfunded and maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a “select group of management or highly compensated employees” (as such phrase is used in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974). The Plan must be administered and construed in a manner that is consistent with that intent. This Plan document reflects the Plan as established effective January 1, 2005, and as subsequently amended as of January 11, 2005, February 23, 2005, April 27, 2005, January 25, 2006 and December 21, 2006. The Plan shall be read to exclude any term, condition or provision that does not satisfy Section 409A of the Code, taking into account the transition guidance to allow all such terms, conditions or provisions to remain in effect to the maximum extent allowed under the transition guidance without running afoul of Section 409A of the Code. Additionally, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in order to fully satisfy Section 409A of the Code and the existing transition guidance, the payment of any benefits under this Plan to which a Participant becomes entitled in 2006 shall be paid in the form of a lump sum cash payment as soon as administratively practical after the event that occurred under which the Participant became entitled to his benefits under the Plan, except as otherwise required by Section 3.07. The purpose of this provision is to comply with the transition guidance that Plan amendments cannot elect to defer 2006 payments into later years.

1.28. Retirement Plan means the Revised Retirement Plan for the Employees of NTELOS Inc.

A Participant will not be considered as having had a Separation from Service if (i) the Participant continues to provide services to the Company or any Affiliate as an employee at an annual rate that is at least equal to 20 percent of the services rendered, on average, during the immediately preceding three full calendar years of employment (or, if employed less than three years, such lesser period) and the annual remuneration for such services is at least equal to 20 percent of the average annual remuneration earned during the final three full calendar years of employment (or if less, such lesser period), (ii) the Participant continues to provide services to the

8

Company or any Affiliate in a capacity other than as an employee and such services are provided at an annual rate that is 50 percent or more of the services rendered, on average, during the immediately preceding three full calendar years of employment (or, if employed less than three years, such lesser period) and the annual remuneration for such services is 50 percent or more of the annual remuneration earned during the final three full calendar years of employment (or, if less, such lesser period) or (iii) the Participant is on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence (such as temporary employment by the government) so long as the period of such leave does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long as the Participant’s right to reemployment with the Company or any Affiliate is provided either by statute or contract. If the period of leave (i) ends or (ii) exceeds six months and the Participant’s right to reemployment is not provided either by statute or contract, the Separation from Service will be deemed to occur on the first date immediately following such six-month period if not reemployed by the Company or any Affiliate before such time and eligibility for payments and benefits hereunder will be determined as of that time.

1.30. Specified Employee means a Participant who is (i) an officer of the Company or an Affiliate having annual compensation greater than $135,000 (with certain adjustments for inflation after 2005), (ii) a five-percent owner of the Company or (iii) a one-percent owner of the Company having annual compensation greater than $150,000.

For purposes of this Section, the term “five-percent owner” (“one-percent owner”) means any person who owns more than five percent (one percent) of the outstanding stock of the Company or stock possessing more than five percent (one percent) of the total combined voting power of all stock of the Company. For purposes of determining ownership, the attribution rules of Section 318 of the Code shall be applied by substituting “five percent” for “50 percent” in Section 318(a)(2) and the rules of Sections 414(b), 414(c) and 414(m) of the Code shall not apply. For purposes of this Section, the term “compensation” has the meaning given such term by Section 414(q)(4) of the Code. The determination of whether an Participant is a Specified Employee will be based on a December 31 identification date such that if the Participant satisfies the above definition of Specified Employee at any time during the 12-month period ending on December 31, he or she will be treated as a Specified Employee if he or she has a Separation from Service during the 12-month period beginning on the first day of the fourth month following the identification date. This definition is intended to comply with the “specified employee” rules of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and shall be interpreted accordingly.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Years of Service also includes any period in which a Participant is entitled to receive severance pay under any Company or Affiliate severance pay plan or under an agreement between the Company or an Affiliate and the Participant. Notwithstanding any provision of the Retirement Plan to the contrary, for any individual who became an Employee of the Company or an Affiliate as a result of the Company’s or an Affiliate’s merger with or acquisition of such individual’s employer, or as a result of the Company’s or an Affiliate’s merger with or acquisition of any such employer’s operating assets, service prior to such acquisition shall not be taken into account in determining such Employee’s Year(s) of Service for purposes of Section 3.01(a).

ARTICLE II

PARTICIPATION

An Eligible Employee who is designated to participate in the Plan by the Board shall become a Participant in the Plan as of the date specified by the Board. A Participant shall continue to participate until such date he is no longer an Eligible Employee or until he is no longer entitled to benefits under the Plan. In no event may the Board declare that a Participant is no longer a Participant or revoke or rescind a Participant’s designation as such other than as described in the preceding sentence.

ARTICLE III

BENEFITS

3.01. Amount of Benefit

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.07 of the Plan, upon Retirement, a Participant shall be entitled to the Actuarial Equivalent of a monthly Retirement benefit determined as a straight life annuity for the Participant’s lifetime which shall commence on such Retirement date and is payable on the first day of each month thereafter. For all Participants, the amount of such monthly Retirement benefit shall be equal to (i) minus (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) below, as reduced if applicable as described in Section 3.06 of the Plan, where:

(i) equals the Participant’s Final Pay times the Applicable Percentage (as shown on Exhibit I to the Plan);

(ii) equals the monthly Retirement life annuity payable under the Retirement Plan (determined as a straight life annuity for the Participant’s lifetime and as if payable as of the date of determination, whether or not the Participant is currently receiving such benefit);

(iii) equals the monthly benefit payable to the Participant at age 62 under the Federal Social Security Act in effect as of the date of determination, assuming that the Participant had continued in the employ of the Company until his age 62 and whether or not the Participant is currently receiving such benefit;

10

(iv) equals the monthly benefit (determined as a straight life annuity for the Participant’s lifetime) that would be payable to the Participant based on the employer-provided benefit under the NTELOS Inc. Savings and Security Plan assuming that the Participant contributed to such plan at the maximum rate allowable by law and permitted under such plan and that such contribution earns interest at the interest rate paid on twenty-four month Treasury bills as in effect on the first day of each calendar year from the date of contribution to the date of determination;

(v) equals the monthly benefit (determined as a straight life annuity for the Participant’s lifetime and as if payable as of the date of determination and on an Actuarial Equivalent basis) of the benefit amount calculated in connection with the lump sum distribution paid under the Old Plan and this Plan to any Participant who was actively employed by the Company on December 31, 2004 and who received a lump sum distribution of the present value of the Participant’s benefits that were earned and accrued as of December 31, 2004 and vested or nonforfeitable (after the vesting and elimination of the forfeiture provisions described in the Introduction of the Plan) under the terminated portions of the Old Plan and this Plan (but not including any amount in this (v) that would reduce the aggregate monthly Retirement benefit described under this Section 3.01 below zero);

(vi) equals the monthly benefit (determined as a straight life annuity for the Participant’s lifetime and as if payable as of the date of determination and on an Actuarial Equivalent basis) of the benefit amount calculated in connection with the lump sum distribution paid under the Old Plan and this Plan to the Participants in connection with the change in control that occurred on May 2, 2005, pursuant to which the Quadrangle Entities and the CVC Entities became the owners of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company (but not including any amount in this (vi) that would reduce the Retirement benefit below zero); and

(vii) equals the monthly benefit (determined as a straight life annuity for the Participant’s lifetime and as if payable as of the date of determination), if any, payable to Participant under the Old Plan or under this Plan (other than the amounts described in (v) and (vi) above).

(b) From time to time, the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion, increase the monthly benefit payable to a Participant in pay status to reflect cost of living increases.

3.02. Timing and Form of Payment

(a) The payment of any benefit under this Article shall commence on the first day of the month following the date of Participant’s Retirement and is payable on the first day of each month thereafter, except as otherwise set forth in Section 3.07.

(b) The benefits payable under this Article shall be paid in the form of a Life Annuity.

11

(c) Except as provided in the next sentence, benefits calculated under Section 3.01(a) not paid in a straight life annuity for the Participant’s lifetime or commencing prior to what would have been the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date must be the Actuarial Equivalent of a straight life annuity for the Participant’s lifetime and must be reduced to reflect early commencement based on the reasonable actuarial factors and assumptions employed under the Retirement Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, for any Participant who is employed by the Company or an Affiliate on September 16, 2003 and whose employment subsequently is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, payments prior to what would have been the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date under the Retirement Plan that are reduced to reflect early commencement shall not be reduced below the minimum benefit percentage (as set forth in the next sentence), calculated consistent with the methodology employed under the Retirement Plan. The minimum benefit percentage equals the sum of (i) 50% plus (ii) the percentage that equals (A) the Participant’s years of service for purposes of vesting under the Retirement Plan (which shall not include any years of service creditable under the second sentence of Section 1.33) divided by (B) the total number of years of service the Participant needs (based on his or her age and taking into account increases in age as additional years of service are rendered) to equal at least 85 (C) multiplied by 50%.

3.03. Death Benefits

If a Participant dies prior to what would have been his Annuity Starting Date under Section 3.02 or while in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate, the Participant’s Surviving Spouse, if any, shall be entitled to a Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity commencing on the first day of the month following the later of (i) the date of Participant’s death or (ii) the date the Participant would have attained his Early Retirement Date and is payable on the first day of each month thereafter. The amount of the Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity will be determined under the formula in Plan Section 3.01(a) based on the Participant’s Years of Service as of his date of death and as reduced if applicable as described in Section 3.06 of the Plan. In the event of a Participant’s death after his Annuity Starting Date, benefits will be paid in accordance with the form of benefit determined under Section 3.02(b) above.

3.04. Disability Benefits

Participants who have completed fifteen (15) Years of Service and who become Disabled while in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate shall be entitled to a monthly retirement benefit computed under Section 3.01(a) and based on his Years of Service as of the date he became Disabled and as reduced if applicable as described in Section 3.06 of the Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, if the Participant who becomes Disabled while in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate has not completed fifteen (15) Years of Service, such Participant shall be entitled to receive the benefits described in Section 5.02, if any, as if the Company at such time had discharged the Participant without Cause and as reduced if applicable as described in Section 3.06 of the Plan. Benefits shall be payable under this Section 3.04 on the first day of the month following the later of (i) the date the Participant became Disabled or (ii) the date the Participant would have attained his Early Retirement Date and is payable on the first day of each month thereafter. If such Participant dies before he is eligible to commence his benefits under this Section 3.04, his Surviving Spouse shall be entitled to a Qualified Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity as determined under Section 3.03. If the Participant is otherwise entitled to benefits under Section 3.02, no benefits shall be payable under this Section 3.04.

12

3.05. Forfeiture

(a) Benefits payable under this Plan shall be forfeited if, (i) while the Participant is employed by the Company or any Affiliate, the Participant competes, directly or indirectly, with the business conducted by the Company or any Affiliate or directly or indirectly provides services to any Competitor or (ii) within twenty-four (24) months after the Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate ends for any reason (the “Non-Competition Period”), the Participant competes with the Company or any Affiliate by performing or causing to be performed the same or similar types of duties or services that the Participant performed for the Company or any Affiliate for a Competitor of the Company or any Affiliate in any capacity whatsoever, directly or indirectly, within any city or county of the continental United States in which, at the time of the Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate ends, the Company or any Affiliate provides services or products, offers to provide services or products, or has documented plans to provide or offer to provide services or products within the Non-Competition Period provided that the Participant has knowledge of those plans at the time the Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate ends (the “Service Area”). Additionally, the Participant agrees that during the Non-Competition Period, the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, sell, attempt to sell, provide or attempt to provide, any wireless or wireline telecommunication services, including but not limited to internet services, to any person or entity who was a customer or an actively sought prospective customer of the Company or any Affiliate, at any time during the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate. The restrictions set forth in this Section 3.05 shall immediately terminate and shall be of no further force or effect in the event of a default by the Company in the payment of any consideration, if any, to which the Participant is entitled hereunder, which default is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that because of the nature of the Company’s business and the business of its Affiliates, the nature of the Participant’s job responsibilities, and the nature of the Confidential Information (as defined in Section 3.08 below) and trade secrets of the Company and its Affiliates which the Company will give the Participant access to, any breach of this provision by the Participant would result in the inevitable disclosure of the Company’s and Affiliates’ trade secrets and Confidential Information to their direct Competitors.

(b) Benefits payable under this Plan also shall be forfeited if, while the Participant is employed by the Company or any Affiliate or within the Non-Competition Period, the Participant, directly or indirectly, solicits or encourages any employee of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate employment with the Company or any Affiliate; hires, or causes to be hired, for any employment by a Competitor, any person who within the preceding 12-month period has been employed by the Company or any Affiliate, or assist any other person, firm or corporation to do any of the acts described in this sentence.

(c) The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company and its Affiliates have a legitimate business interest in preventing the Participant from engaging in activities competitive with it as described in this Section 3.05 and that any breach of this Section 3.05 would constitute a material breach of this Section 3.05 and the conditions for payments under this Plan.

13

(d) The Company and its Affiliates may notify anyone employing the Participant or evidencing an intention to employ the Participant during the Non-Competition Period as to the existence and provisions of this Plan and may provide such person or organization a copy of these provisions. The Participant agrees that the Participant will provide the Company or any Affiliate the identity of any employer the Participant plans to go to work for during the Non-Competition Period along with the Participant’s anticipated job title, anticipated job duties with any such employer, and anticipated start date. The Company and its Affiliates will analyze the proposed employment and make a determination as to whether it would violate this Section 3.05. If the Company determines that the proposed employment would not pose an unacceptable threat to the Company’s interests or the interests of its Affiliates, the Company will notify the Participant in writing that it does not object to the employment. The Participant further agrees to provide a copy of these provisions of the Plan to anyone who employs the Participant during the Non-Competition Period.

(e) The Participant acknowledges and agrees that this Section 3.05 is intended to limit the Participant’s right to compete only to the extent necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interest or the interests of its Affiliates. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant will be reasonably able to earn a livelihood without violating the terms of this Section 3.05. If any of the provisions of this Section 3.05 should ever be deemed to exceed the time, geographic area or activity limitations permitted by applicable law, the Participant agrees that such provisions may be reformed to the maximum time, geographic area and activity limitations permitted by applicable law, and the Participant authorizes a court or other trier of fact having jurisdiction to so reform such provisions. In the event the Participant breaches any of the restrictions or provisions set forth in this Section 3.05, the Participant waives and forfeits any and all rights to any further benefits under the Plan. Additionally, in the event the Participant breaches any of the restrictions or provisions set forth in this Section 3.05, the Participant agrees to repay the Company for any of the consideration paid pursuant to the Plan.

(f) For purposes of this Section 3.05, the following definitions will apply:

(i) “Directly or indirectly” as used in this Plan includes an interest in or participation in a business as an individual, partner, shareholder, owner, director, officer, principal, agent, employee, consultant, trustee, lender of money, or in any other capacity or relation whatsoever. The term includes actions taken on behalf of the Participant or on behalf of any other person. “Directly or indirectly” does not include the ownership of less than 5% of the outstanding shares of any corporation, if such shares are publicly traded in the over-the-counter market or listed on a national securities exchange.

(ii) “Competitor” as used in this Plan means any person, firm, association, partnership, corporation or other entity that competes or attempts to compete with the Company or any Affiliate by providing or offering to provide wireless or wireline telecommunication services, including but not limited to internet services, within any city or county in which the Company or any Affiliate provides or offers those services or products.

14

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.05, the Participant will not be considered to have violated any prohibition against competing with the Company or any Affiliate if the Participant is (1) employed or retained by (i) any parent, subsidiary or affiliate organization of any Competitor where that parent, subsidiary or affiliate organization does not itself, and the Participant’s employment will not cause the Participant to compete or attempt to compete with the Company or any Affiliate by providing or offering to provide wireless or wireline telecommunications services, including but not limited to internet services, within the Service Area or (ii) any Competitor, directly or indirectly, so long as the Participant’s employment or service does not relate to working within the Service Area or to activities that would benefit the Competitor principally within the Service Area or (2) working or providing services within the Service Area so long as the Participant’s employment or service does not relate to the type of services provided or offered by the Company or any Affiliate within that Service Area or to services for which the Company or any Affiliate has documented plans to provide, offer or supply within that Service Area at the time of Participant’s termination of employment or (3) selling or attempting to sell wireless or wireline telecommunications services, including but not limited to internet services, so long as the services or products, which the Participant is selling or attempting to sell to a customer, do not relate to the type of services or products provided or offered by the Company to such customer or for which the Company has documented plans to provide, offer or supply to such customer at the time of Participant’s termination of employment; provided, however, that the Participant is nevertheless prohibited from (i) selling, attempting to sell, and providing or attempting to provide, to any person who was a customer, or who was actively sought as a customer, of the Company or any Affiliate at the time of Participant’s termination of employment any wireless or wireline telecommunications services, including but not limited to internet services, that are the type of services or products that the Company or any Affiliate sold, attempted to sell or provided or attempted to provide to such customer as described in (a) above and (ii) soliciting or encouraging any employee of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate employment or taking any other of the prohibited actions as described in (b) above.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.05, for any Participant who was actively employed by the Company on December 31, 2004, these forfeiture provisions shall not apply to any benefits that were earned or accrued as of December 31, 2004 and otherwise vested or nonforfeitable (not considering these forfeiture provisions) and with respect to Mary McDermott, the portion of her benefits that were earned or accrued as of December 31, 2004 under the Old Plan and this Plan shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable, and not subject to forfeiture under these provisions, with respect to the amount of her benefits that are earned and accrued as of December 31, 2004 treating her as if she (i) had seven (7) years of service solely for purposes of determining her rights for benefits if she were to voluntarily terminate employment (but not for purposes of calculating her “Applicable Percentage”) and (ii) was fully vested in the NTELOS Inc. Savings and Security Plan and the Retirement Plan.

3.06. Change in Control

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.06, on a Control Change Date, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, a Participant shall be entitled to a lump sum cash payment which shall be made on the Control Change Date equal to the Actuarial Equivalent of all his benefits under the Plan as of the date he would have been eligible to Retire and determined under Section 3.01(a),

15

based on his Years of Service as of the Control Change Date (which shall include any Years of Service creditable under the second sentence of Section 1.33) and taking into account the provisions of the second sentence of Section 3.02(c) only if the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason on the Control Change Date, provided, however, that no such benefits under this Section 3.06(a) shall be payable if Participant is not an Eligible Employee as of the Control Change Date.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.06, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, on and after a Control Change Date, a Participant who is not an Eligible Employee on a Control Change Date and who has commenced receiving or is otherwise entitled to receive benefits under the Plan (other than on account of this Section 3.06(b)) shall be entitled to a lump sum cash payment which shall be made on the Control Change Date equal to the Actuarial Equivalent of all his remaining benefits under the Plan as of such time.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, any payment made to a Participant under this Section 3.06 shall reduce on an Actuarial Equivalent basis (but not below zero) any further benefits otherwise payable to such Participant under this Plan. In the event Participant does not become entitled to any further benefits under this Plan, Participant shall not be required to return any payment made under this Section 3.06.

(d) Any payment made to a Participant under this Section 3.06 is a one-time payment as of such Control Change Date. Payment under this Section 3.06 shall not change the timing and form of any further benefits payable under the Plan other than with respect to the reduction on an Actuarial Equivalent basis (but no below zero) of the amount of any further benefits that may otherwise become payable to such Participant under the Plan as described in (c) above.

3.07. Delay for Specified Employees

If at any time when the Company has any stock publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, a Participant who is a Specified Employee is entitled to benefits under this Plan upon a Separation from Service, then to the extent necessary to comply with the “specified employee” rule of Code Section 409A, no payments may be made hereunder before the date which is six months after the Participant’s Separation from Service or, if earlier, his date of death. All such amounts which would have otherwise been required to be paid to the Participant during such six months or, if earlier, the Participant’s death, shall be paid in one lump sum payment as soon as administratively practicable after the date which is six months after the Participant’s Separation from Service or, if earlier, the Participant’s death. Any other payments scheduled to be made after such period shall be made at the same times otherwise designated herein disregarding the delay for payments required pursuant to this Section 3.07. This provision is intended to comply with the “specified employee” rule of Code Section 409A and shall be interpreted accordingly.

3.08. Confidential Information

The Participant understands and acknowledges that during the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate, the Participant has been and will be making use of, and acquiring or adding to the Confidential Information (as defined below). In order

16

to protect the Confidential Information, the Participant will not, during the Participant’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate or at any time thereafter, in any way utilize any of the Confidential Information except in connection with the Participant’s employment by the Company or an Affiliate. The Participant will not at any time use any Confidential Information for the Participant’s own benefit or for the benefit of any person except the Company or an Affiliate. At the end of the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliate, the Participant will surrender and return to the Company any and all Confidential Information in the Participant’s possession or control, as well as any other Company or Affiliate property in the Participant’s possession or control. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that benefits payable under the Plan shall be forfeited if the Participant breaches any of the provisions of this Section 3.08.

The term “Confidential Information” shall mean any information that is confidential and proprietary to the Company or any Affiliate, including but not limited to the following general categories:

(a) trade secrets;

(b) lists and other information about current and prospective customers;

(c) plans or strategies for sales, marketing, business development, or system build-out;

(d) sales and account records;

(e) prices or pricing strategy or information;

(f) current and proposed advertising and promotional programs;

(g) engineering and technical data;

(h) the Company’s or an Affiliate’s methods, systems, techniques, procedures, designs, formulae, inventions and know-how; personnel information;

(i) legal advice and strategies; and

(j) other information of a similar nature not known or made available to the public or Competitors (as defined in Section 3.05).

Confidential Information includes any such information that the Participant may prepare or create during the Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate, as well as such information that has been or may be created or prepared by others. This promise of confidentiality is in addition to any common law or statutory rights of the Company to prevent disclosure of its Trade Secrets and/or Confidential Information.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.08, for any Participant who was actively employed by the Company on December 31, 2004, these forfeiture provisions shall not apply to any benefits that were earned or accrued as of December 31, 2004 and otherwise vested or nonforfeitable (not considering these forfeiture provisions) and with respect to Mary McDermott, the portion

17

of her benefits that were earned or accrued as of December 31, 2004 under the Old Plan and this Plan shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable, and not subject to forfeiture under these provisions, with respect to the amount of her benefits that were earned and accrued as of December 31, 2004 treating her as if she (i) had seven (7) years of service solely for purposes of determining her rights for benefits if she were to voluntarily terminate employment (but not for purposes of calculating her “Applicable Percentage”) and (ii) was fully vested in the NTELOS Inc. Savings and Security Plan and the Retirement Plan.

ARTICLE IV

GUARANTEES

The Company and any Affiliate participating in the Plan have only a contractual obligation to pay the benefits described in Article III. All benefits are to be satisfied solely out of the general corporate assets of the Company or the appropriate Affiliate (whomever employs the Participant), which assets shall remain subject to the claims of its creditors. No assets of the Company or a participating Affiliate will be segregated or committed to the satisfaction of its or any Affiliate’s obligations to any Participant or Beneficiary under this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may establish a grantor trust in anticipation of its obligations to Participants and Beneficiaries, provided that the assets of any such trust shall (i) remain subject to the claims of the Company’s or Affiliate’s creditors and (ii) be located within the United States. If the Company or any Affiliates, in its sole discretion, elects to purchase life insurance on the life of a Participant in connection with the Plan, the Participant must submit to a physical examination, if required by the insurer, and otherwise cooperate in the issuance of such policy or his rights under the Plan will be forfeited.

ARTICLE V

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

5.01. No Guarantee of Employment

The Plan does not in any way limit the right of the Company or an Affiliate at any time and for any reason to terminate the Participant’s employment or such Participant’s status as an Eligible Employee. In no event shall the Plan, by its terms or by implication, constitute an employment contract of any nature whatsoever between the Company or an Affiliate and a Participant.

5.02. Termination of Employment

(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), a Participant who ceases to be an Eligible Employee or whose employment with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated either with or without Cause, for reasons other than Retirement, death or becoming Disabled while in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate, shall immediately cease to be a Participant under this Plan and shall forfeit all rights under this Plan. A Participant on authorized leave of absence from the Company or an Affiliate shall not be deemed to have terminated employment or lost his status as an Eligible Employee for the duration of such leave of absence.

(b) A Participant who incurs a Separation from Service with the Company and its Affiliates prior to Retirement, death or becoming Disabled while in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate but (i) after completing seven (7) Years of Service or (ii) after

18

a Control Change Date, shall be entitled to benefits under the Plan, calculated as of the date he would have been eligible to Retire and determined under Plan Section 3.01(a), based on his Years of Service as of his Separation from Service (which shall include any Years of Service creditable under the second sentence of Section 1.33); provided, however, that no benefits shall be payable if (1) the Participant terminates his employment voluntarily (other than a voluntary termination (a) after completing seven (7) Years of Service or (b) with Good Reason after a Change in Control) or (2) the Company or an Affiliate discharges the Participant for Cause as determined by the Board. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.07 of the Plan, payment under this Section 5.02(b) shall commence on the first day of the month following the later of (i) the date of Participant’s Separation from Service or (ii) the date Participant would have attained his Early Retirement Date and is payable on the first day of each month thereafter. The benefits payable under this Article shall be paid in the form of a Life Annuity.

ARTICLE VI

COORDINATION OF BENEFITS

For purposes of the calculations in Section 3.01, the amount payable in any month to a Participant or Beneficiary, under the Plan, shall be reduced, but not below zero, by the Actuarial Equivalent of any amount paid or payable to the Participant for the month in question or a prior or future month from a Supplemental Benefit Account.

This limitation shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in the payment of an after-tax benefit under the Plan and a Supplemental Benefit Account that is less than the benefit otherwise payable under Article III on an after-tax basis. In determining the amount payable under the Plan and from a Supplemental Benefit Account on an after-tax basis, the Company or Affiliate shall make its determination using the maximum rates of federal, state and local income taxes that are applicable to the Participant or Beneficiary.

ARTICLE VII

SUBSEQUENT DEFERRAL ELECTIONS

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, a Participant may elect to establish a subsequent payment date for payment of the Participant’s benefits under the Plan that is after the dates otherwise set forth herein, or change the form of payment (including but not limited to changing a Life Annuity to installment payments or a lump sum) provided that any such subsequent deferral election satisfies the conditions of this Article. For a subsequent deferral election to be effective, (i) the Participant must make the election not less than twelve (12) months prior to the date the first payment for the particular payment event is scheduled to be made (or in the case of a Life Annuity, twelve (12) months prior to the date the first amount is scheduled to be paid), (ii) the election must not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made and (iii) in case of an election related to a payment not made on account of death or Disability, the payment with respect to which such election is made must be deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been paid (or in the case of a Life Annuity, five (5) years from the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid). If a subsequent deferral election is made pursuant to this Article, benefits shall be paid and administered in all respects consistent with such subsequent deferral election, except that the benefits to which the Participant would be entitled shall be adjusted actuarially to reflect any delay in the commencement of benefits pursuant to this Article.

19

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION OF PLAN

8.01. Amendment or Termination

Except as otherwise specifically provided, the Company reserves the right to terminate, amend or modify this Plan, wholly or partially, at any time and from time to time; provided, however, that without a Participant’s consent, the Board may not terminate, amend or modify Section 1.06, Section 1.07, Section 1.16, Article II, Article III, Section 5.02, Section 8.01, Section 8.03 and Exhibit I at any time or any other provision of the Plan within twelve (12) months before a Control Change Date or after a Control Change Date. Such right to terminate, amend or modify the Plan shall be exercised by the Board.

8.02. Notice Requirement

(a) Section 8.01 notwithstanding, no action to terminate the Plan shall be taken except upon written notice to each Participant to be affected thereby, which notice shall be given not less than thirty (30) days prior to such action.

(b) Any notice which shall be or may be given under the Plan shall be in writing and shall be mailed by United States mail, postage prepaid. If notice is to be given to the Company such notice shall be addressed to it at Post Office Box 1990, Waynesboro, Virginia ###-###-####; addressed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary. If notice is to be given to a Participant, such notice shall be addressed to the Participant’s last known address.

8.03. Special Rule

The rights of the Company set forth in Section 8.01 are subject to the condition that the Board shall take no action to terminate the Plan or decrease any benefit that has accrued (based on the Participant’s Years of Service as of the time of the Board’s action) or become payable to a Participant, after the Participant accrues or commences receiving such benefits, without such Participant’s consent, until all such benefits are paid in full or Participant is no longer entitled to receive them, in each case pursuant to the terms of the Plan. For purposes of this Section 7.03, a Participant shall be treated as having accrued a benefit on and after the time the Participant is credited with a Year of Service under the Plan and Years of Service shall include any Years of Service creditable under the second sentence of Section 1.33. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.03 shall prevent the Board from amending the Plan to preclude any further Eligible Employees from becoming Participants in the Plan or to preclude any Participant from further accruing any additional amount of benefits under the Plan after such time above the amount of benefits accrued based on the Participant’s Years of Service as of the time of the Board’s action. In the event the Board, as described in the preceding sentence, amends the Plan to preclude the further accrual of any additional amount of benefits under the Plan after the time of the Board’s action, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the amount of such Participant’s benefits described in Article III, Section 5.02(b) or otherwise shall be calculated as described in the applicable provisions of the Plan and based on the Participant’s

20

Years of Service credited on or before the time of the Board’s action; however, in that event, any other provision of the Plan that requires a determination of a Participant’s Years of Service for any purpose other than calculating the amount of the Participant’s benefits described in Article III, Section 5.02(b) or otherwise (including without limitation for the purpose of determining any entitlement to receipt of such amount of benefits) shall include any Years of Service credited to the Participant after the time of the Board’s action.

8.04. Effect of Plan Termination

Except as provided in Section 8.03, upon the termination of this Plan by the Board, the Plan shall no longer be of any further force or effect, and neither the Company, any Affiliate nor any Participant shall have any further obligation or right under this Plan.

ARTICLE IX

OTHER BENEFITS AND AGREEMENTS

The benefits provided for a Participant under the Plan are in addition to any other benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program of the Company or any Affiliate for its employees, and, except as may otherwise be expressly provided for, the Plan shall supplement and shall not supersede, modify or amend any other plan or program of the Company or any Affiliate in which a Participant is participating.

ARTICLE X

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF BENEFITS

No right or benefit under the Plan shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to do so shall be void. No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, or torts of the person entitled to such benefit. If any Participant under the Plan should become bankrupt or attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any right to a benefit hereunder, then such right or benefit, in the discretion of the Board, shall cease and terminate, and, in such event, the Board may hold or apply the same or any part thereof for the benefit of such Participant, his or her spouse, children, or other dependents, or any of them, in such manner and in such portion as the Board may deem proper.

ARTICLE XI
