The purpose of this Addendum is to amend the Management Agreement, the Services Agreement, the Trademark License Agreements and the Schedule of Definitions.

The parties are executing this Addendum as of the date noted above, but this Addendum becomes effective on January 1, 2007 (the “Effective Date”).

On the Effective Date, the following provisions of the Management Agreement, the Services Agreement, the Trademark License Agreements and the Schedule of Definitions are amended and, in certain cases, restated, as follows:

A.	New Amendments and Restatement of Previous Amendments to Sprint PCS Agreements.

Management Agreement

The last paragraph of Section 1.1 is amended to read as follows:

Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 1.9, 9.5 and 12.1.2, Sprint PCS has the right to unfettered access to the Service Area Network to be constructed by Manager under this agreement. Except with respect to the payment obligations under Sections 1.4, 1.9.2, 1.10, 4.4, 9.3, 10.2, 10.5, 10.6, 10.8, 10.9, 12.1.2 and Article XIII of this agreement, Sections 2.1.1(d), 2.1.2(b), 3.3, 3.4, 5.1.2 and Article VI of the Services Agreement and any payments arising as a result of any default of the parties’ obligations under this agreement and the Services Agreement, the Fee

Based on Billed Revenue described in Section 10.2.1 of this agreement, and the Net Service Fee described in Section 3.2 of the Services Agreement will constitute the only payments between the parties under the Management Agreement, the Services Agreement and the Trademark License Agreements.

Section 1.3.1 is amended to read as follows:

1.3.1 Discounted Volume-Based Pricing. Manager may participate in discounted volume-based pricing on wireless-related products and services and in the warranties Sprint PCS receives from vendors, as is commercially reasonable and to the extent permitted by applicable procurement agreements (e.g., agreements related to network infrastructure equipment, subscriber equipment, interconnection and collocation). Sprint PCS will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for managers the same price Sprint PCS receives from vendors; this does not prohibit Sprint PCS from entering into procurement agreements that do not provide managers with the Sprint PCS prices. If Sprint does not obtain for Manager the right to participate in any procurement agreement for wireless-related products and services, in each case at the same price and on at least as favorable terms as Sprint PCS receives, then Sprint PCS shall make available to Manager wireless handsets and related devices and accessories that may be used by subscribers who purchase such items from Manager at the same price and on at least as favorable terms as Sprint PCS receives.

Section 1.3.4 is amended to read as follows:

1.3.4

Software Fees.

(a) Without limitation of the obligations of Sprint Spectrum L.P. under the Services Agreement, Sprint PCS, when obtaining software for its own use that is identical to the Software, will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a license from vendors providing for the right of Manager to use the Software in connection with telecommunications equipment manufactured by the vendor (collectively the software obtained by Sprint PCS for its own use and the Software that operates on telecommunications equipment manufactured by the vendor are for purposes of this Section 1.3.4, the “Vendor Software”; when the term “Vendor Software” is used with respect to Manager, it means only the Software, and not the software used only by Sprint PCS).

(b) Sprint PCS will pay all Software Fees relating to the Vendor Software to the vendor if Sprint PCS obtains a license from the vendor that provides the Manager the right to use the Vendor Software pursuant to Section 1.3.4(a).

(c) If Sprint PCS determines that it cannot reasonably obtain a license for Manager pursuant to Section 1.3.4(a), or that any license obtained for Manager pursuant to Section 1.3.4(a) will expire or terminate, then Sprint PCS will provide Manager with prompt written notice of such circumstances, together with any information reasonably requested by Manager, unless prohibited by a non-disclosure obligation, with respect to the applicable Vendor Software and/or license, including, but not limited to, the pricing and other material terms and conditions of any such license, the negotiations relating to any such license, and the network elements to be covered by any such license. Manager will arrange independently with a vendor to obtain a license to the Vendor Software. Any license that Manager obtains from a vendor must require the Vendor Software to be tested in Sprint PCS test beds by Sprint PCS and require Sprint PCS, not the vendor or Manager, to push the Vendor Software to the Service Area Network unless Sprint PCS otherwise consents in advance in writing. Sprint PCS agrees to test the Vendor Software in Sprint PCS test beds within a reasonable period after Manager reasonably requests the tests in writing.

(d) Manager will be responsible for paying all Software Fees relating to the Vendor Software to the vendor if Manager obtains a license from the vendor pursuant to Section 1.3.4(c). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a decrease in the cost to Sprint PCS of obtaining for Manager the right to use any Vendor Software, whether due to the circumstances described in Section 1.3.4(c) or otherwise, then such decrease in cost will be taken into account in connection with the determination of the Appropriate Net Service Fee pursuant to Section 3.2.2 of the Services Agreement.

Section 1.10 is amended to read as follows:

1.10 Most Favored Nation. Sprint PCS represents and warrants to Manager that the terms and conditions of this agreement and the Services Agreement are no less favorable to Manager than the terms and conditions contained in any Management Agreement or Services Agreement between Sprint PCS and any Other Manager. The foregoing representation and warranty does not and will not apply to the specific amount of the Fee Based on Billed Revenue or the specific amount of the Net Service Fee, but does and will apply to the assumptions and calculation methods applied in the determination of such amounts.

Manager has the right, but not the obligation, to amend the terms in its Management Agreement and Services Agreement as described in this Section 1.10 if, during the period beginning on the date of this Addendum

and ending December 31, 2008, any of the terms of an Other Manager’s Management Agreement or Services Agreement are amended in any manner for any reason to be more favorable to the Other Manager than the terms of Manager’s Management Agreement or Services Agreement are to Manager, subject to the following:

(a) Manager must elect to accept all, but not less than all, of the terms of the Other Manager’s Management Agreement and Services Agreement agreed to since the Effective Date (including accepting existing terms that relate to the changes or terms that were previously changed and not previously accepted by Manager but that remain a part of the latest version of the Other Manager’s agreement) (collectively, but excluding the changes described in paragraphs (b) and (c) below, the “Overall Changes”);

(b) Manager will not be required to accept any changes involving payment of specific disputed amounts arising under the Management Agreement or Services Agreement of the Other Manager; and

(c) No amendments in Manager’s Management Agreement and Services Agreement will be made to reflect changes made in an Other Manager’s Management Agreement and Services Agreement if such changes are: (i) made solely because the Other Manager owns spectrum on which all or a portion of its network operates, unless the Other Manager acquired this spectrum from Sprint PCS or its Related Parties after the Effective Date, (ii) compelled by a law, rule or regulation that applies to the Other Manager, but not to Manager, (iii) made solely to modify a build-out plan, or (iv) relate to the specific amount of the Fee Based on Billed Revenue or the specific amount of the Net Service Fee.

Sprint PCS will prepare and deliver to Manager either an addendum containing the Overall Changes that have been made to the Other Manager’s agreements in all of its addenda or copies of the Other Manager’s amended and restated Management Agreement, Services Agreement and Trademark License Agreements (in each case redacted to protect the identity of the Other Manager) within 10 Business Days after the later of the effective date expressly stated in the amendment or other instrument containing these changes and the date of the addendum or other instrument. Manager will then have 30 days after receipt of such addendum or agreement to notify Sprint PCS that Manager wants the Overall Changes.

If Manager does not notify Sprint PCS in this 30-day period in writing that it wants the Overall Changes, no changes will be made in the agreements between Manager and Sprint PCS and Manager will be deemed to have waived its rights under this Section 1.10 with respect to the Overall Changes.

If Manager notifies Sprint PCS within the 30-day period in writing that it wants the Overall Changes, Sprint PCS will prepare, execute and deliver to Manager an addendum reflecting the Overall Changes. The new addendum will have the same effective date as the addendum or the restated Management Agreement, Services Agreement and Trademark License Agreements between Sprint PCS and the Other Manager that gave rise to the new addendum. For purposes of clarification, if the addendum or other instrument between Sprint PCS and the Other Manager provides or defines a specific date that is the effective date of the addendum or other instruments, then the effective date of the new addendum will be the same as that specific date. Manager will have 15 days after receipt of the new addendum to review the new addendum and notify Sprint PCS if Manager determines any inaccuracies are reflected in the new addendum. Sprint PCS will correct those inaccuracies and provide a corrected new addendum to Manager within 10 Business Days after Manager’s notification.

No changes will be made in the agreements between Manager and Sprint PCS if Manager does not execute and return the signed addendum within 30 days after receipt of the signed addendum (or the corrected signed addendum, if applicable, pursuant to the previous paragraph), in which case Manager will be deemed to have waived its rights under this Section 1.10 with respect to the Overall Changes contained in the addendum presented.

If Manager and Sprint PCS disagree as to whether the terms of the signed addendum accurately reflect the Overall Changes, then the parties will submit to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 14.2, excluding the escalation process set forth in Section 14.1. If the arbiter rules in favor of Manager, then Sprint PCS will make changes to the signed addendum that are necessary to reflect the arbiter’s ruling, submit the revised signed addendum to Manager within 10 days after receipt of the arbiter’s ruling and pay all of Manager’s expenses and attorneys’ fees related to the arbitration. If the arbiter rules in favor of Sprint PCS, then Manager may: (i) execute the signed addendum as proffered to Manager within 10 days after Manager’s receipt of the arbiter’s ruling or (ii) decline

to accept the addendum, and in each Manager will pay all of Sprint PCS’s expenses and attorneys’ fees related to the arbitration.

The parties acknowledge that Sprint PCS can disclose to Manager who the Other Manager is that gave rise to the proposed addendum only if the Other Manager agrees to the disclosure.

For purpose of this Section 1.10, the term “Other Managers” does not include any Other Manager that is a Related Party of Sprint PCS (e.g., if a Related Party of Sprint PCS acquires an Other Manager, Manager will not have any rights under this Section 1.10 in the event of any subsequent change to such Other Manager’s Management Agreement or Services Agreement).

Section 2.3 is amended to read as follows:

2.3 Exclusivity.

(a) Subject only to the exceptions set forth in Section 2.3(d), Manager will be the only person or entity that is a manager, operator or provider of wireless mobility services in the 1850-1990 MHz spectrum range for Sprint PCS and its Related Parties in the Service Area, and neither Sprint PCS nor any of its Related Parties will permit any other person or entity to manage, operate or provide wireless mobility services in the 1850-1990 MHz spectrum range for Sprint PCS and/or its Related Parties in the Service Area, except that Sprint PCS may enter into roaming arrangements with other parties. For purposes of this Section 2.3, “mobility” means the capability to sustain a continuous session (voice or data) throughout a broad geographic area by transferring the session from cell site to cell site as the mobile device moves within the geographic area. For purposes of clarification, Wi-Fi and WiMAX are not wireless mobility services because such services cannot be transferred from cell site to cell site.

(b) Manager acknowledges that Related Parties of Sprint PCS offer products and services that use iDEN technology. Manager will have the non-exclusive right to distribute Sprint Nextel-branded iDEN Products and iDEN Services in the Service Area in the 800 MHz and 900 MHz spectrum range pursuant to an iDEN Distribution Agreement to be entered into by and between Sprint Solutions Inc. and Manager (the “Distribution Agreement”). Manager acknowledges that Related Parties of Sprint PCS currently have and may continue to have arrangements with third party iDEN distributors in the Service Area, except that Sprint PCS and its Related Parties will not own, operate, or manage, or have an equity interest in, directly or indirectly, any retail or similar store or facility that sells or otherwise distributes Sprint Nextel-branded iDEN Products

and/or iDEN Services (each as defined in the Distribution Agreement) in the Service Area; provided, that if Manager materially breaches its obligations to sell iDEN Products and iDEN Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement and, as a result of such breach and Manager’s failure to cure such breach within the cure periods provided for in the Distribution Agreement, SN has the right to terminate the Distribution Agreement, Sprint PCS and its Related Parties may open in the Service Area retail store locations to be owned by Sprint PCS or its Related Parties for the distribution of Sprint Nextel-branded iDEN Products and/or iDEN Services.

(c) Subject to the rights of Manager and the obligations of Sprint PCS and its Related Parties under paragraph (a) above and paragraph (b) above, if any party or any of its Related Parties intends to provide any wireless services in the Service Area which are not otherwise prohibited by this agreement, then the party proposing to provide such services (the “Notifying Party”) will promptly notify the other party (the “Receiving Party”) of such intent, and, if the Receiving Party notifies the Notifying Party in writing within 30 days thereafter that it would like to provide such services in the Service Area and/or participate in any build-out of a network providing such services in the Service Area, the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of up to 60 days to agree upon the terms and conditions upon which the Receiving Party would provide such services in the Service Area and/or participate in the build-out of a facilities-based network providing such services in the Service Area. During such 60-day period, the Notifying Party and its Related Parties will not enter into any discussions with any third party with respect to the provision of such services in the Service Area and/or the build-out of a facilities-based network providing such services in the Service Area. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2.3(c) will prohibit Sprint PCS or its Related Parties from entering into discussions or any agreement with any third party with respect to the provision of such services in an area that includes all or any part of, but is Broader than, the Service Area and/or the build-out of a facilities-based network providing wireless services in an area that includes all or any part of, but is Broader than, the Service Area; provided, however, that Sprint PCS and its Related Parties shall use good faith efforts to introduce Manager to such third party in order to facilitate an opportunity for Manager to participate in the provision of such services in the Service Area and/or the build-out of a facilities-based network providing such services in the Service Area, as applicable. An area is “Broader” than the Service Area if it has a total number of pops that is equal to or greater than ten (10) times the number of pops in the Service Area. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement within such sixty (60)-day period, the Notifying Party and its Related Parties will be free to provide such services and/or build-out a facilities-based network providing such services, directly or indirectly through a third party, in the Service Area, except

that the Notifying Party and its Related Parties may not agree to terms and conditions with any such third party that are more favorable to such third party than the terms and conditions that were offered to the Receiving Party during the sixty (60)-day period referenced in this paragraph (c) without first providing the Receiving Party with written notice of the terms and conditions proposed to be agreed to with any such third party and a fifteen (15)-Business Day opportunity to accept such terms and conditions. This paragraph (c) will not apply to (i) any services proposed to be offered by either party or its Related Parties if the other party offers a competing service in the Service Area, or (ii) any wireless services already provided by either party in the Service Area as of the Effective Date. In addition, this paragraph (c) shall not apply to any Wi-Fi services proposed to be offered by Manager or Manager’s Related Parties. With respect to auctions for wireless spectrum and applications submitted by a party for wireless spectrum, the time periods described in this paragraph (c) shall be adjusted as reasonably necessary to allow the Notifying Party to participate in such activities in a timely manner. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.3(c) does not apply to the purchase of spectrum by any party (including the participation in a spectrum auction), except that any subsequent use of such spectrum would be subject to this Section 2.3(c).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.3:

(i) Sprint PCS may cause Sprint PCS Products and Services to be sold in the Service Area through the Sprint PCS National Accounts Program Requirements and Sprint PCS National or Regional Distribution Program Requirements;

(ii) If Sprint PCS or any Related Party of Sprint PCS publicly announces the signing of a definitive agreement with respect to any merger, tender or exchange offer, acquisition or other business combination transaction that would upon consummation otherwise result in a breach of the exclusivity provision of this agreement (a “Competing Transaction”), then during the period from the date of such announcement until the consummation of such Competing Transaction (the “Forbearance Period”), Manager agrees not to file any claim or action against Sprint PCS or its Related Parties with respect to such Competing Transaction so long as the conflicting businesses are operated on an independent, stand-alone and status quo basis and Sprint PCS or its Related Parties negotiate in good faith with Manager the terms and conditions of a mutually acceptable settlement agreement; and

(iii) a reseller of Sprint PCS Products and Services may sell its products and services in the Service Area so long as such resale is not contrary to the terms and conditions of this agreement.

With respect to Section 2.3(d)(ii) and the breach described therein, in the event that Sprint PCS or its Related Parties and Manager are unable to enter into a settlement agreement during the Forbearance Period, then Manager agrees not to file any claim or action against Sprint PCS or its Related Parties with respect to such breach for an additional 180 day-period following the consummation of any such Competing Transaction described in Section 2.3(d)(ii), so long as (x) Sprint PCS and its Related Parties operate the conflicting businesses on an independent, stand-alone and status quo basis, and (y) Sprint PCS and its Related Parties do not take any action relating to the abandonment or material diminution of (A) the Sprint PCS brands used in connection with the operation of the Sprint PCS Network prior to such Competing Transaction, unless Manager is granted the right to use any successor or replacement brands under the same terms and conditions as Manager’s use of the Licensed Marks under in the Trademark License Agreements, or (B) the Sprint PCS Products and Services or the Sprint PCS Network. Sprint PCS and its Related Parties acknowledge and agree that operation of any applicable statute of limitations, statute of repose, doctrine of laches or any other applicable statute, common law doctrine or contractual provision that might operate as a time bar to limit Manager’s ability to bring any claims arising out of or related to any breach of this agreement described in Section 2.3(d)(ii) shall be tolled until the earlier of the signing of a forbearance agreement or the expiration of such 180-day period.

Section 2.4 is amended to read as follows:

Section 2.6 is amended to read as follows:

2.6 [RESERVED]

Section 2.7 is amended to read as follows:

2.7 [RESERVED]

(b) Pricing and procedure. Sprint PCS will purchase for Manager from Sprint Communications Company L.P. or its Related Parties (“SCCLP”) the telephony services described in Section 3.4.2(a) above, and will not charge

Manager hereunder for the cost of procuring and providing such telephony services. Rather, such services will constitute “Services” under the Services Agreement, and Sprint PCS will recover its costs of procuring and providing such services for Manager through the Net Service Fee to be paid under Section 3.2 of the Services Agreement.

10.

Section 3.5.2 is amended to read as follows:

3.5.2 Resale of Products and Services. Sprint PCS may choose to offer a resale product under which resellers will resell Sprint PCS Products and Services under brand names other than the Brands, except Sprint PCS may permit the resellers to use the Brands for limited purposes related to the resale of Sprint PCS Products and Services (e.g., to notify people that the handsets of the resellers will operate on the Sprint PCS Network). The resellers may also provide their own support services (e.g., customer care and billing) or may purchase the support services from Sprint PCS. Other terms of the resale program are governed by Program Requirement 3.5.2.

Manager will participate in all resale arrangements existing on the Effective Date or entered into, renewed or extended during the term of this agreement.

Except as required under the regulations and rules concerning mandatory resale, Manager may not sell Sprint PCS Products and Services for resale unless Sprint PCS consents to such sales in advance in writing.

11.

The following sentence is added to the end of Section 4.2:

Manager acknowledges that in connection with the Sprint PCS National Accounts Program, Sprint PCS and its Related Parties may offer products and services that use a combination of CDMA and iDEN technology.

12.

The second paragraph of Section 4.3 is amended to read as follows:

Section 10.4 sets forth the settlement process, if any, that distributes between the members making up the Sprint PCS Network (i.e., Sprint PCS, Manager and all Other Managers) a fee for use of the Sprint PCS Network and the Service Area Network (the “Inter Service Area Fee”).

or Regional Distribution Program in the Service Area (e.g., Best Buy) in accordance with any cooperative advertising arrangements.

14.

Section 10.2.2 is amended to read as follows:

10.2.2 Outbound Roaming Fee. Sprint PCS will pay to Manager a fee equal to the amount of Outbound Roaming Fees that Sprint PCS or its Related Parties bills to Manager Accounts, less the Allocated Write-offs for Outbound Roaming Fees. For purposes of clarification, Sprint PCS will be responsible for the cost of providing the capability for the Outbound Roaming, including any amounts payable to the carrier that handled the roaming call and the clearinghouse operator for Outbound Roaming.

15.

Section 10.4 is amended to read as follows:

10.4 Other Fees and Payments. The parties will make no settlement payments to each other with respect to Inter Service Area Fees, Reseller Customer Fees and the Terminating or Originating Access Fees, fees and commissions with respect to reseller arrangements, software, interconnect and long distance, and fees for services rendered by a third party vendor pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Services Agreement, which fees and payments will be deemed to be included in the Net Service Fee payable pursuant to the Services Agreement. If one party mistakenly pays an amount that the other party is obligated to pay, then the other party will reimburse the paying party, as long as the paying party identifies the mistake and notifies the receiving party within 9 calendar months after the date on which the paying party makes the mistaken payment.

16.

Section 10.12.3 is amended to read as follows:

10.12.3 Transition of Payment Methods. The amounts payable to Manager and Sprint PCS and its Related Parties under this agreement and the Services Agreement with respect to the period prior to the Effective Date will be calculated pursuant to the Management Agreement and the Services Agreement in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date. Sprint PCS will have 90 days after the date of any invoice received from a third party relating to this agreement and the Services Agreement and relating to the period prior to the Effective Date to bill Manager for such amounts. The amounts payable to Manager and Sprints PCS and its Related Parties under this agreement and the Services Agreement with respect to the period after the Effective Date will be calculated in accordance with the terms of this Addendum. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 10.12.3 and the provisions of that certain Settlement and Mutual Release of equal date herewith between Sprint PCS, Manager, and

certain of their respective Related Parties (the “Settlement Agreement”), the provisions of the Settlement Agreement shall control.

18.

The first paragraph of Section 12.1.2 (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) thereof), is amended to read as follows:

On reasonable advance notice by one party (the “auditing party”), the other party (the “audited party”) must provide the auditing party and its representatives access to the audited party’s appropriate financial and operating records, including, without limitation, vendor and distribution agreements, for purposes of auditing the amount of fees (including the appropriateness of items excluded from the Fee Based on Billed Revenue), costs, expenses (including operating metrics referred to in this agreement and the Services Agreement relating to or used in the determination of the Appropriate Net Service Fee payable pursuant to the Services Agreement) or other charges payable in connection with the Service Area for the period audited.

(f) Manager acknowledges that employees of Sprint PCS and its Related Parties may have access to Confidential Information and that any internal use by Sprint PCS or its Related Parties of Confidential Information obtained in connection with such access in accordance with the terms and conditions of this agreement will not constitute a breach of this agreement, except that Sprint PCS may not use Manager’s Confidential Information to generate a lead-list or otherwise market, promote or advertise products or services to customer accounts within a CSA assigned to the Service Area other than to promote products and services that use the Service Area Network or otherwise relate to the Sprint PCS

Products and Services sold by Manager.

21.

The first paragraph of Section 14.2 is amended to read as follows:

14.2 Unable to Resolve. If a dispute has not been resolved within 60 days after the notifying party’s notice, either party may continue to operate under this agreement and sue the other party for damages and seek other appropriate remedies as provided in this agreement. If, and only if, this agreement does not provide a remedy (as in the case of Sections 3.4 and 4.5, where the parties are supposed to reach an agreement), then either party may give the other party written notice that it wishes to resolve the dispute or claim arising out of the parties’ inability to agree under such Sections of this agreement by using the arbitration procedure set forth in this Section 14.2. Such arbitration will occur in Fairfax County, Virginia, unless the parties otherwise mutually agree, with the precise location being as agreed upon by the parties or, absent such agreement, at a location in Fairfax County, Virginia selected by Sprint PCS. The parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon the procedures pursuant to which such arbitration will be conducted, as well as any modifications to such procedures. In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon such procedures, such arbitration will be conducted pursuant to the procedures prescribed by the Virginia Uniform Arbitration Act, as amended from time to time, or, if none, pursuant to the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association (or at any other place and by any other form of arbitration mutually acceptable to the parties). Any award rendered in such arbitration will be confidential and will be final and conclusive upon the parties, and a judgment on the award may be entered in any court of the forum, state or federal, having jurisdiction. The expenses of the arbitration will be borne equally by the parties to the arbitration, except that each party must pay for and bear the cost of its own experts, evidence, and attorneys’ fees.

17.12.1 Governing Law. The internal laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (without regard to principles of conflicts of law) govern the validity of this agreement, the construction of its terms, and the interpretation of the rights and duties of the parties.

26.

Section 2.1.2 of the Services Agreement is amended to read as follows:

2.1.2 Discontinuance of Services. Subject to Section 2.1.1, if Sprint Spectrum determines no longer to offer a Service, then Sprint Spectrum must notify Manager in writing as described under Section 2.1.1(a).

If Manager determines within 90 days after receipt of notice of discontinuance that it wants to continue to receive the Service, Sprint Spectrum will use commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a) help Manager provide the Service itself or find another vendor to provide the Service, and

(b) facilitate, at Manager’s expense, Manager’s transition to the new Service provider.

Without limitation of the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1.1(b), if Sprint Spectrum discontinues a service, Manager will continue to pay the Net Service Fee, but the discontinuance of such service may be considered in determining any Appropriate Net Service Fee in accordance with Section 3.2.2.

27.

Section 3.1 of the Services Agreement is amended to read as follows:

3.1 Services. Manager may not obtain Services from other sources, except for any Service discontinued by Sprint Spectrum pursuant to Section 2.1.

28.

Section 3.2.1 of the Services Agreement is amended to read as follows:

3.2.1 Initial Pricing Period. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.2.2 and the transition provided by Section 10.12.3 of the Management Agreement, Manager will pay to Sprint Spectrum 8.8% of (a) Net Billed Revenue less (b) the Allocated Write-offs for Net Billed Revenue (such amount, as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2.2, the “Net Service Fee”) for the Services other than the Settled-Separately Manager Expenses by or on behalf of Sprint Spectrum each month commencing with January, 2007.

29.

Section 3.2.2 of the Services Agreement is amended to read as follows:

3.2.2

Pricing Process.

(a) At any time prior to June 30, 2010, if any party believes in good faith that the Net Service Fee necessary to (i) permit Sprint PCS to recover its reasonable costs for providing the Services to Manager and, if applicable, the Other Managers (ii) reflect changes in wholesale usage, roaming patterns and travel patterns in accordance with Section 3.2.2(m) and (iii) permit Shentel to recover its reasonable costs for providing tier 1 and tier 2 customer care for iDEN Products and iDEN Services pursuant to the Distribution Agreement (an “Appropriate Net Service Fee”) is more than two (2) full percentage points higher or lower than the Net Service Fee then in effect, then such party may initiate a review of the Net Service Fee by delivering written notice (a “Review Notice” and the date upon which such Review Notice is delivered, the “Review Notice Date”) to the other party, including its proposed Appropriate Net Service Fee. With respect to any Review Notice delivered by Sprint PCS, Sprint PCS shall include with such delivery copies of excerpts of such books, records and supporting documentation as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate for Manager to verify such calculation of the Appropriate Net Service Fee. For purposes of illustration, in order to initiate a Review Notice during 2007, Sprint PCS must believe in good faith that the

Appropriate Net Service Fee is greater than 10.8%, and in order to initiate a Review Notice during 2007, Manager must believe in good faith that the Appropriate Net Service Fee is less than 6.8%.

(b) Beginning on June 30, 2010, between June 30^th and July 31^st of each calendar year during the term of this agreement (the “Review Notice Period”), if any party believes in good faith that the Appropriate Net Service Fee is more than one (1) full percentage point higher or lower than the Net Service Fee then in effect, then such party may initiate a review of the Net Service Fee by delivering a Review Notice to the other party, including its proposed Appropriate Net Service Fee. For purposes of illustration, assuming that an earlier Review Notice is not initiated pursuant to Section 3.2.2(a), in order to initiate a Review Notice during the Review Notice Period in 2010, Sprint PCS must believe in good faith that the Appropriate Net Service Fee is greater than 9.8%, and in order to initiate a Review Notice during the Review Notice Period in 2010, Manager must believe in good faith that the Appropriate Net Service Fee is less than 7.8%.

(d) The parties believe the Net Service Fee as of the Effective Date is an Appropriate Net Service Fee as of the Effective Date. For purposes of determining the Appropriate Net Service Fee from time to time pursuant to this Section 3.2.2, the parties will apply the same assumptions and calculation methods as were used to determine the Net Service Fee as of the Effective Date.

(e) If no Review Notice is delivered during any calendar year, the Net Service Fee for the previous calendar year will remain in effect.

(f) Manager’s representative and the Sprint PCS representative will begin discussions regarding the Appropriate Net Service Fee no later than the later of (i) 20 days after the Review Notice Date or (ii) 10 days after the date on which Sprint PCS delivers to Manager in accordance with Section 3.2.2(k) its proposed calculation of the Appropriate Net Service Fee, together with copies of excerpts of such books, records and supporting documentation as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate for Manager to verify such calculation of the Appropriate Net Service Fee.

(g) If the parties do not agree on the Appropriate Net Service Fee within 30 days after the discussions begin, then the parties may escalate the discussion to the Sprint PCS Chief Financial Officer and Manager’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, or Chief Financial Officer.

(h) If the parties cannot agree on the Appropriate Net Service Fee through the escalation process within 20 days after the escalation process begins, then the parties will submit the determination of the Appropriate Net Service Fee amount to binding arbitration under Section 14.2 of the Management Agreement, excluding the escalation process set forth in Section 14.1. During such period, Manager will continue (i) obtaining all of the Services from Sprint Spectrum and (ii) paying to Sprint Spectrum the applicable Net Service Fee until any new Appropriate Net Service Fee becomes payable in accordance with Section 3.2.2(i). Each party will bear the costs of its own attorneys’ fees in connection with any such arbitration, and subject to Section 3.2.2(j), the expenses of the arbitration will be borne equally by the parties.

(i) Subject to Section 3.2.2(j), (i) any Appropriate Net Service Fee determined in response to a Review Notice submitted pursuant to Section 3.2.2(a) (whether determined by agreement or arbitration) will be effective as of the first calendar day of the month that immediately follows the Review Notice Date, and (ii) any Appropriate Net Service Fee determined in response to a Review Notice submitted pursuant to Section 3.2.2(b) (whether determined by agreement or arbitration) will be effective as of August 1 immediately following the Review Notice Date. In the event that the new Appropriate Net Service Fee is determined pursuant to arbitration, Manager will begin paying the Appropriate Net Service Fee on the first day of the month that immediately follows the date on which the arbitrator determines such amount, and the appropriate party will promptly make any adjustment payments that are necessary to reflect the effective date of the new Appropriate Net Service Fee.

(j) If (i) any Appropriate Net Service Fee determined in response to a Review Notice submitted pursuant to Section 3.2.2(a) (whether determined by agreement or arbitration) is not more than two (2) full percentage points higher or lower than the Net Service Fee then in effect or (ii) any Appropriate Net Service Fee determined in response to a Review Notice submitted pursuant to Section 3.2.2(b) (whether determined by agreement or arbitration) is not more than one (1) full percentage point higher or lower than the Net Service Fee then in effect, then (A) such Appropriate Net Service Fee will have no effect, (B) the Net Service Fee for the previous calendar year will remain in effect until any subsequent Review Notice is initiated in accordance with this Section 3.2.2, and (C) the party that delivered the Review Notice will pay all of the expenses of any applicable arbitration (except that each party will bear the costs of its own attorneys’ fees in connection with any such arbitration).

(k) Sprint PCS will maintain books and records in accordance with its past practice and make such information generally available to Manager in a manner consistent with past practice to assist the parties in determining the amount of the Appropriate Net Service Fee. Within 20 days after the Review Notice Date with respect to any Review Notice delivered by Manager, Sprint PCS will deliver to Manager in writing its proposed calculation of the Appropriate Net Service Fee, together with such copies of excerpts of books, records and supporting documentation as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate for Manager to verify such calculation of the Appropriate Net Service Fee.

(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at no time during the term of this agreement or any renewal thereof will the Net Service Fee exceed 12.0% of (i) Net Billed Revenue less (ii) the Allocated Write-offs for Net Billed Revenue, unless the quantity of Services provided to Manager is materially disproportionately greater than the quantity of Services provided to Other Managers and used by Sprint PCS after taking into account the size of Manager’s, Other Managers’ and Sprint PCS’s subscriber base and the geographic area, population density, rural nature and road and highway coverage of the service areas in which they are providing service, in which case the parties will negotiate in good faith an alternative arrangement (which may include a Net Service Fee that exceeds such 12.0% amount) pursuant to which Sprint PCS will be compensated for the disproportionate use of the Services by Manager.

(m) In determining the Appropriate Net Service Fee, the economic effects of a change in the (i) 2G Travel Ratio will be calculated by multiplying the difference in the minutes of use that a Customer uses an Away Network by 90% of Sprint PCS’s Retail Yield for Voice and 2G Data Usage for the previous year and (ii) the 3G Travel Ratio will be calculated by multiplying the difference in the kilobytes of use that a Customer uses an Away Network by 90% of Sprint PCS’s Retail Yield for 3G Data Usage for the previous year.

30.

Section 3.2.3 of the Services Agreement is amended to read as follows:

3.2.3

[RESERVED]

31.

Section 3.2.5 of the Services Agreement is amended to read as follows:

3.2.5

Settled-Separately Manager Expenses.

For each Settled-Separately Manager Expense, Sprint Spectrum will provide sufficient detail to enable Manager to determine how the expense was calculated, including the unit of measurement (e.g., per

subscriber per month or per call) and the record of the occurrences generating the expense (e.g., the number of calls attributable to the expense). If an expense is not reasonably subject to occurrence level detail, Sprint Spectrum will provide reasonable detail on the process used to calculate the fee and the process must be reasonable. A detail or process is reasonable if it is substantially in the form as is customarily used in the wireless industry. Sprint Spectrum and its Related Parties may arrange for Manager to pay any of the Settled Separately Manager Expenses directly to the vendor after giving Manager reasonable notice.

Unless Manager specifically agrees otherwise, any Settled-Separately Manager Expense that Sprint Spectrum or any of its Related Parties is entitled to charge or pass through to Manager under this agreement will reflect solely out-of-pocket costs and expenses that Sprint Spectrum or its Related Parties actually incur, will be usage-based or directly related to revenue-generating products and services, and will not include any allocation of Sprint PCS’s or its Related Parties’ internal costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, allocations of general and administrative expenses or allocations of employee compensation or related expenses), except for Affiliate Project Authorizations, which will be negotiated by the parties. For clarity, Sprint Spectrum’s or its Related Parties’ out-of-pocket costs for handset and accessory inventory consist of actual inventory invoice costs less any volume incentive rebates and price protection credits that Sprint Spectrum or its Related Parties receive from a vendor.

32.

Section 5.1.2 of the Services Agreement is amended to read as follows:

5.1.2 Audits. On reasonable advance notice by one party (the “auditing party”), the other party (the “audited party”) must provide the auditing party and its representatives access to the audited party’s appropriate financial and operating records, including, without limitation, vendor and distribution agreements, for purposes of auditing the amount of fees (including the calculation of the Appropriate Net Service Fee), costs, expenses (including operating metrics referred to in this agreement relating to or used in the determination of the Appropriate Net Service Fee) or other charges payable in connection with the Service Area for the period audited. The party that requested the audit may decide if the audit is conducted by the other party’s independent or internal auditors. Manager and Sprint PCS may each request no more than one audit per year.

(a) If the audit shows that Sprint Spectrum was underpaid then, unless the amount is contested, Manager will pay to Sprint Spectrum the amount of the underpayment within 10 Business Days after Sprint Spectrum gives Manager written notice of the underpayment determination.

(b) If the audit determines that Sprint Spectrum was overpaid then, unless the amount is contested, Sprint Spectrum will pay to Manager the amount of the overpayment within 10 Business Days after Manager gives Sprint Spectrum written notice of the overpayment determination.

The auditing party will pay all costs and expenses related to the audit unless the amount owed to the audited party is reduced by more than 10% or the amount owed by the audited party is increased by more than 10%, in which case the audited party will pay the costs and expenses related to the audit.

If either party disputes the auditor’s conclusion, then the dispute will be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 14.2 of the Management Agreement, excluding the escalation process set forth in Section 14.1 of the Management Agreement.

Sprint PCS will provide a Type II Report to Manager annually. If Manager, on the advice of its independent auditors or its legal counsel, determines that a statute, regulation, rule, judicial decision or interpretation, or audit or accounting rule, policy or literature published by the accounting or auditing profession or other authoritative rule making body (such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board or the Financial Accounting Standards Board) requires additional assurances beyond SAS 70, then Sprint Spectrum will cooperate with Manager to provide the additional assurances. Sprint Spectrum’s independent auditors will prepare any Type II Report or Manager Management Report provided under this Section 5.1.2 and will provide an opinion on the controls placed in operation and tests of operating effectiveness of those controls in effect at Sprint PCS over Manager Management Processes. Sprint PCS or Sprint PCS’s auditors will provide information to Manager or Manager’s auditors to perform analysis procedures requested by Manager in accordance with this Section 5.1.2.

33.

Section 9.11 of the Services Agreement is amended to read as follows:

9.11 Governing Law. The internal laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (without regard to principles of conflicts of law) govern the validity of this agreement, the construction of its terms, and the interpretation of the rights and duties of the parties.

Licensee will promptly notify Licensor of any known, suspected or potential violation of this Section 2.2.

41.

Licensee shall place on all printed or electronic materials on which the Licensed Marks appear the notice “used under license” or such other notice and disclaimer as Licensor may specify from time to time. Licensor shall advise Licensee periodically as to the appropriate designations for each Licensed Mark.

42.

Section 2.4 of each of the Trademark License Agreements is amended to read as follows:

Section 2.4. Other Use Restrictions. Licensee will not use the Licensed

Marks in any manner that would reflect adversely on the image of quality symbolized by the Licensed Marks. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensee will not without the prior written consent of Licensor use the Licensed Marks as, or incorporate any of the Licensed Marks into, its (a) trade name, (b) domain name, (c) website metatag or similar programming code, (d) “vanity” telephone numbers, or (e) phone or directory-assistance listings.
