          This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of September 16, 2007, among SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), T-Mobile USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Tango Merger Sub, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) (each a “Party” and, together, the “Parties”).

WITNESSETH:

          WHEREAS, the Parties intend that Merger Sub be merged with and into the Company upon the terms set forth herein, with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent;

          WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has (i) determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, are advisable and fair to, and in the best interest of, the Company and its stockholders, (ii) approved the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger and (iii) resolved to recommend adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company;

          WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of each of Parent and Merger Sub have unanimously approved this Agreement and declared it advisable for Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement;

          WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, as an inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into this Agreement and incur the obligations set forth herein, certain shareholders of the Company have executed a Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Voting Agreement”); and

          WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER

          Section 1.01 The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), at the Effective Time, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and the Company will continue its corporate existence under Delaware law as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

          Section 1.02 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, 51 West 52nd Street, New York, New York, 10019 at 10:00 a.m., local time, on a date (the “Closing Date”) which shall be the third Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions to be taken at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), or at such other place, date and time as the Company and Parent may agree in writing; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI as of any date, Parent and Merger Sub shall not be required to effect the Closing prior to April 15, 2008.

          Section 1.03 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Company will cause a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with Section 251 of the DGCL and the Parties shall take all such further action as may be required by Law to make the Merger effective. The Merger will become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date or time as may be agreed by the Company and Merger Sub in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL (the effective time of the Merger being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).

          Section 1.04 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all property of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all liabilities and obligations of the Company and Merger Sub shall become liabilities and obligations of the Surviving Corporation.

          Section 1.05 Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Surviving Corporation. Subject to and consistent with the obligations set forth in Section 5.07 hereof, at the Effective Time, (a) the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended in the merger to read in its entirety as the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub read immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof and applicable Law, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc., and (b) the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended so as to read in their entirety as the by-laws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation or as provided by applicable Law, except that the references to Merger Sub’s name shall be replaced by references to SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc.

          Section 1.06 Directors. From and after the Effective Time, the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation or as provided by applicable Law.

          Section 1.07 Officers. From and after the Effective Time, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation or as provided by applicable Law.

          Section 1.08 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holders of any shares of capital stock of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub:

               (a) Conversion of Common Stock. Each share of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) (including any Restricted Shares as described in Section 1.10), other than the Cancelled Shares and the Dissenting Shares, shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive $27.00 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). All Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 1.08 shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist, and the holders of certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.09.

               (b) Parent and Merger Sub-Owned Shares. Each Share that is owned by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time or held by the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise) immediately prior to the Effective Time (in each case, other than any such Shares held on behalf of third parties) (the “Cancelled Shares”) shall by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange for such cancellation.

               (c) Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing the common stock of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

               (d) Dissenters’ Rights. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if required by the DGCL (but only to the extent required thereby), Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by holders of such Shares who have not voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who are entitled to demand and who have properly exercised appraisal rights with respect thereto in accordance with, and who have complied with, Section 262 of the

DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead holders of such Dissenting Shares will be entitled to such rights (and only such rights) as are granted by the provisions of Section 262 unless and until any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws, waives or loses its rights to appraisal under the DGCL or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by the provisions of Section 262. If any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses such right, such Dissenting Shares will thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and have become exchangeable for, at the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, and the Surviving Corporation shall remain liable for payment of the Merger Consideration for such Shares. At the Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights provided in Section 262 of the DGCL and as provided in the previous sentence. The Company will give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisals of Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal, Parent shall have the right to conduct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such notices and demands and the Company shall have the opportunity to participate in (but not control) such negotiations and proceedings at its own cost. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), voluntarily make or agree to make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle, or offer to agree to settle, any such demands.

               (e) Adjustments. If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of capital stock, shall occur as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or subdivision or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution with a record date during such period, merger or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change; provided that nothing herein shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

          Section 1.09 Exchange of Certificates.

               (a) Paying Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a U.S. bank or trust company that shall be appointed by Parent and approved in advance by the Company in writing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) to act as a paying agent hereunder (and pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company) (the “Paying Agent”), in trust for the benefit of holders of the Shares (including the Restricted Shares), cash in U.S. dollars sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration in exchange for all of the Shares (including the Restricted Shares) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Cancelled Shares), payable upon due surrender of the certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such Shares (including the Restricted Shares) (“Certificates”) (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or non-certificated Shares

7

represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) pursuant to the provisions of this Article I (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

          (b) Payment Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event no later than the fifth Business Day following the Closing Date, the Paying Agent shall mail to each holder of record of Shares (including Restricted Shares) whose Shares were converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.08, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may mutually agree), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may customarily be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor cash in an amount equal to Merger Consideration payable in exchange therefor. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for any cash to be paid upon due surrender of the Certificate may be paid to such a transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or to cause to be deducted or withheld, from the consideration otherwise payable under this Agreement to any holder of Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Restricted Shares), such amounts as may be required to be withheld or deducted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted and paid over to the applicable Governmental or Regulatory Authority, such withheld or deducted amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares, in respect of which such deduction or withholding were made.

          (c) Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent for transfer, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for a check in the proper amount pursuant to this Article I.

          (d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains undistributed to the former

holders of Shares for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation upon demand, and any former holders of Shares or Restricted Shares who have not surrendered their Shares or Restricted Shares in accordance with this Section 1.09 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon due surrender of their Shares or Restricted Shares (subject to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law) but only as a general creditor thereof for payment of its claim for the Merger Consideration.

               (e) No Liability. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

               (f) Lost Certificates. In the case of any Certificate that has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Paying Agent or the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate a check in the amount of the Merger Consideration in respect thereof entitled to be received pursuant to this Agreement.

          Section 1.10 Treatment of Restricted Shares. Except as set forth in Section 4.01 of the Company Disclosure Letter with respect to certain Restricted Shares that may be granted after the date hereof but that will be forfeited at the Effective Time, each Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, granted subject to vesting or other lapse restrictions pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Stock and Incentive Plan and 2004 Directors’ Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Company Stock Plans”) and/or any applicable restricted stock award agreements (collectively, the “Restricted Shares”), shall, by virtue of this Agreement, vest and become free of such restrictions immediately prior to the Effective Time and shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.08(a) hereof.

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PARENT

          Except as set forth in the letter (the “Parent Disclosure Letter”) delivered by Parent to the Company concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any section of the Parent Disclosure Letter shall be deemed disclosure with respect to any other section of the Parent Disclosure Letter to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent), each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof to the Company as follows:

Each of Parent and Merger Sub is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as

presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so organized, qualified or in such good standing, or to have such power or authority, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, render illegal, or delay beyond the End Date (including any applicable extension thereof) or materially impair the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Merger (including delivery of the aggregate Merger Consideration) and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a “Parent Material Adverse Effect”). Each of Parent and Merger Sub is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG.

          Section 3.02 Authority Relative to this Agreement. Each of Parent and Merger Sub has the necessary corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub and the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of each of Parent and Merger Sub, other than the approval and adoption of this Agreement by Parent as the holder of all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Merger Sub, which adoption by Parent shall occur immediately following execution of this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the transactions contemplated hereby requires any further action by any of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s stockholders. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of Parent and Merger Sub and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Parent and Merger Sub.

          Section 3.03 No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.

No waiver of, exemption from, or Declaratory Ruling pursuant to, any provision of the Communications Act or the rules, regulations and policies of the FCC is necessary to obtain the FCC’s consent to transfer the FCC Licenses to Parent or Merger Sub.

          Section 4.03 No Solicitation.

          (b) Subject to Section 4.03(c), neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof shall withdraw or modify the Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub or publicly propose to do so.

          (c) Notwithstanding any provision of Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b) to the contrary, if prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, (x) the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof receives a bona fide written Alternative Proposal which the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal after giving effect to all adjustments to the terms of this Agreement which may be offered by Parent and failing to take any action referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) below would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company or such committee under applicable Law, or (y) in the absence of an Alternative Proposal, failing to take any action referred to in clause (i) below would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company or such committee under applicable Law, the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof may (i) withdraw, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to withdraw, qualify or modify, its Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub (any action described in this clause (i), a “Change of Recommendation”), and/or (ii) in the case of clause (x) above, terminate this Agreement for the purpose of entering into a definitive acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar definitive agreement (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) with respect to such Superior Proposal, if, in the case of any action described in clause (i) or clause (ii) above, (A) the Company has given Parent four Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action, which notice shall specify the terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal and the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal and shall contemporaneously provide Parent with a copy of the most current written agreement with the Person making such Superior Proposal or, in the absence of an Alternative Proposal, the reasons for such Change of Recommendation, (B) the Company shall have made its financial and legal advisors reasonably available to negotiate with Parent in good faith during such four Business Day period (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate), (C) the Board of Directors of the Company shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement committed to in writing by Parent and shall not have determined, after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisors, that the Superior Proposal

would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal or the Change of Recommendation is no longer necessary, in each case if such changes proposed by Parent were to be given effect, (D) the Company has complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 4.03(c) and (E) if the Company enters into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, the Company shall have terminated this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.01(c)(ii) and shall have paid Parent the Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.02(b) (and any purported termination under Section 7.01(c)(ii) shall be void and of no force and effect, unless in advance or concurrently with such termination the Company pays the Termination Fee and otherwise complies with Section 7.02). In the event of any material revisions to the Superior Proposal, including an increase or other change in purchase consideration, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent pursuant to clause (ii)(I) above and to comply with the requirements of this Section 4.03(c) with respect to such new written notice.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b), prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, if (A) after the date hereof, the Company has received a bona fide written Alternative Proposal that has not, directly or indirectly, resulted from a breach by the Company or its Representatives of this Section 4.03, (B) the Board of Directors of the Company determines, in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisors, that such Alternative Proposal is a Superior Proposal or may reasonably be expected to lead to the receipt of a Superior Proposal, and (C) the Board of Directors determines, after consultation with its outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under the DGCL, the Company may (i) furnish non-public information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Alternative Proposal and its Representatives pursuant to a confidentiality agreement containing confidentiality provisions no less restrictive of and no more favorable to the other party than the Confidentiality Agreement, dated May 10, 2007, between the Company and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”); and (ii) participate in discussions or negotiations with such Person and its Representatives regarding such Alternative Proposal; provided, however, that the Company shall promptly provide or make available to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided to the Person making such Alternative Proposal or its Representatives which was not previously provided or made available to Parent.

          (e) The Company promptly (and in any event within 48 hours) shall advise Parent orally and in writing of (i) any Alternative Proposal or indication or inquiry with respect to or that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Alternative Proposal, (ii) any request for non-public information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, other than requests for information not reasonably expected to be related to or lead to an Alternative Proposal, and (iii) any inquiry or request for discussion or negotiation regarding or that would reasonably be expected to result in an Alternative Proposal, including in each case the identity of the Person making any such Alternative Proposal or indication or inquiry and the material terms of any such Alternative Proposal or indication or inquiry (including copies of any document, correspondence or agreements or draft agreements evidencing such Alternative Proposal or inquiry). The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a reasonably prompt basis of any material change to the terms of any such Alternative Proposal or indication or inquiry (the

Company agreeing that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any confidentiality or other agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement which prohibits the Company from providing such information to Parent).

               (f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or its Board of Directors from (i) disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (ii) issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act; provided that, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in no event shall this Section 4.03(f) affect the obligations of the Company specified in Section 4.03(b) and Section 4.03 (e).

               (g) For purposes of this Agreement,

     (i) “Alternative Proposal” means (A) any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person or group of Persons other than Parent or one of its Subsidiaries for a merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation, or similar transaction involving the Company (or any Subsidiary or Subsidiaries of the Company whose business constitutes 20% or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), (B) any proposal for the issuance by the Company of over 20% of its equity securities or (C) any proposal or offer to acquire in any manner, directly or indirectly, over 20% of the equity securities or consolidated total assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case other than the Merger.

     (ii) “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide Alternative Proposal made in writing (A) on terms which the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisors, to be more favorable from a financial point of view to the holders of Shares than the Merger, taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement (including any changes to the terms of this Agreement, committed to by Parent in good faith to the Company in response to such proposal or otherwise) and (B) that the Board of Directors, determines in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisors, is reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal, including the financing terms thereof; provided, however, that for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal”, the references to “20%” in the definition of Alternative Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

          Section 5.02 Proxy Statement. (a) As promptly as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than three weeks) following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC the proxy statement (including the letter to stockholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy, the “Proxy Statement”) in preliminary form in connection with seeking the adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company and shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond to any comments by the SEC staff in respect of the Proxy Statement. Parent and Merger Sub shall provide to the Company such information as the Company may reasonably request for inclusion in the Proxy Statement.

The Company shall provide Parent with copies of all filings made and correspondence with the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement. If at any time prior to the Effective Time, any information should be discovered by any Party hereto which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties hereto and, to the extent required by applicable Law, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed by the Company with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated by the Company to the stockholders of the Company.

          Section 5.04 Access to Information. (a) Subject to the restrictions imposed by the HSR Act, federal and state securities Laws and other applicable Laws, the Company will provide and will cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to (i) provide Parent and Merger Sub and their respective authorized Representatives, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice such access to the employees, officers, offices, properties, books and records of the Company and such Subsidiaries (so long as such access does not interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries) as Parent or Merger Sub reasonably may request, and (ii) furnish to Parent and its Representatives such financial and operating data and other information with respect to the business and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Parent may from time to time reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent, Merger Sub and their Representatives shall not have such access to any books, records, documents and other information (i) if it would unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) to the extent that books, records, documents or other information is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a third party or would cause a violation of any agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party (provided that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts (without obligation to pay any compensation to any counterparty) to obtain waivers under such agreements or implement requisite procedures to enable reasonable access without violating such agreement), (iii) to the extent that the disclosure thereof would, or may reasonably be expected to, result in the loss of attorney-client privilege or (iv) to the extent required by applicable Law (provided that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enable the provision of reasonable access without violating such Law). Neither Parent

nor any of its Representatives will be permitted to perform any onsite procedure (including any onsite environmental study) with respect to any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. All information obtained or exchanged pursuant to this Section 5.04(a) shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. If, in the course of any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.04(a), Parent or Merger Sub discovers any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or any circumstance or condition that upon closing would constitute a breach, Parent and Merger Sub covenant that they will promptly so inform the Company.

Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, neither Party shall take any action that is intended or would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article VI not being satisfied or the satisfaction of those conditions being materially delayed.

               (b) Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided and without limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall (i) as promptly as reasonably practicable file any and all required Notification and Report Forms under the HSR Act with respect to the Merger and the other

transactions contemplated by this Agreement and thereafter make any other required submission under the HSR Act as promptly as reasonably practicable, and use reasonable best efforts to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act, including by requesting early termination thereof, (ii) promptly, but no later than 15 days after the date hereof, file all initial applications required to be filed with the FCC, (iii) use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with each other in (A) determining whether any filings are required to be made with, or consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances, approvals, and expirations or terminations of waiting periods are required to be obtained from, any third parties or Governmental or Regulatory Authority in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby and (B) timely making all such filings and timely seeking all such consents, permits, authorizations or approvals, (iv) supply to any Governmental or Regulatory Authority as promptly as practicable any additional information or documents that may be requested pursuant to any Law or by such Governmental or Regulatory Authority, and (v) use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all other actions and do, or cause to be done, all other things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including taking all such further action as may be necessary to resolve such objections, if any, as the United States Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, state antitrust enforcement authorities or competition authorities of any other nation or other jurisdiction or any other Person may assert under any Law with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Law that may be asserted by any Governmental or Regulatory Authority with respect to the Merger so as to enable the Closing to occur no later than the End Date (including any applicable extensions thereof), including, without limitation, (x) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of any material assets or businesses of the Company or its Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates or of Parent or its Subsidiaries and (y) otherwise taking or committing to take any actions that after the Closing Date would limit the freedom of Parent, the Company or its Subsidiaries’ (including the Surviving Corporation’s) or controlled Affiliates’ freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of its or its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation’s) businesses, product lines or assets, in each case as may be required in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding which would otherwise have the effect of preventing the Closing or delaying the Closing beyond the End Date (including any applicable extensions thereof); provided that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall become subject to, or consent or agree to or otherwise take any action with respect to, any requirement, condition, understanding, agreement or order of a Governmental or Regulatory Authority to sell, to hold separate or otherwise dispose of, or to conduct, restrict, operate, invest or otherwise change the assets or business of the Company or any of its Affiliates, unless such requirement, condition, understanding, agreement or order is binding on the Company only in the event that the Closing occurs.

          (c) Subject to applicable legal limitations and the instructions of any Governmental or Regulatory Authority, the Company and Parent shall keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby,

including to the extent permitted by Law promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications sent or received by the Company or Parent, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, to or from any third party and/or any Governmental or Regulatory Authority with respect to such transactions. The Company and Parent shall permit the other Party to review in advance any proposed communication to any supervisory or Governmental or Regulatory Authority. Each of the Company and Parent agrees not to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental or Regulatory Authority in connection with the proposed transactions unless it consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental or Regulatory Authority, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate.

          (d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the Parties contained in this Section 5.06, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding, including any proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Company and Parent shall cooperate in all respects with each other and shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Section 5.06 shall limit a Party’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(ii) or Section 7.01(b)(iii) so long as such Party has, prior to such termination, complied with its obligations under this Section 5.06.

     Section 5.07 Indemnification, Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. (a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers or employees, as the case may be, of the Company or its Subsidiaries as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation or by-laws or other similar constituent documents or in any agreement shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. For a period of six years from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the Company’s and any of its Subsidiary’s certificates of incorporation and by-laws or similar constituent documents as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time or in any indemnification agreements of the Company or its Subsidiaries with any of their respective directors, officers or employees as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who at the Effective Time were current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (an “Action”) pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 5.07 without limit as to time.

          (b) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of each of the foregoing) each current and former director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, together with such Person’s heirs, executors or administrators, an “Indemnified Party”) against any costs or expenses (including advancing reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by Law), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any Action, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any such Person’s service as a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or services performed in connection with such Person’s serving as an officer or director or other fiduciary in any entity if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company, in each case, at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement effected without the Surviving Corporation’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (selected by a plurality of the applicable Indemnified Parties and reasonably satisfactory to the Surviving Corporation) for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction with respect to any single such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, unless the use of one counsel for such Indemnified Parties would present such counsel with a conflict of interest that would make such joint representation inappropriate. It shall be a condition to the advancement of any amounts to be paid in respect of legal and other fees and expenses that the Surviving Corporation receive an undertaking by the Indemnified Party to repay such legal and other fees and expenses paid in advance if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified under applicable Law. In the event of any such Action, the Surviving Corporation shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Action.

          (c) The Company shall obtain prior to the Effective Time “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six years from the Effective Time with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance of the type and with an amount of coverage as are no less favorable than those of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained as of the date hereof by the Company and its respective Subsidiaries (the “Current Policies”), and with such other terms as are no less favorable in the aggregate than those of the Current Policies; provided that, in satisfying such obligation, the Company shall not be obligated to pay aggregate premiums in excess of 350% of the aggregate per annum amount that the Company paid for such coverage under the Current Policies in the last full year prior to the date hereof, it being understood and agreed that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall nevertheless be obligated to provide such coverage as may be obtained for such amount.

          (d) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 5.07.

          (e) The rights of each Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Indemnified Party may have under the certificates of

incorporation or by-laws or other constituent documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation, any other indemnification arrangement, the DGCL or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 5.07 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties.

          (f) In the event the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.07.

     Section 5.08 Takeover Laws. If any “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition” or other form of anti-takeover statute or regulation shall become applicable to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby, (i) the Company shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) the Company and Parent shall assist in any challenge by the other to the validity, or the applicability to the Merger or any other transaction contemplated in this Agreement, of any such statute or regulation.

     Section 5.09 Employee Benefits. (a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its successor to honor all Company Benefit Plans and other employment or compensation arrangements and agreements in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately before the Effective Time, subject to any amendment or termination thereof that may be permitted by the terms thereof. For a period of one year following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be provided, to those individuals actively employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time (including employees who are on temporary leave for purposes of jury or military duty, on non-medical leave of absence or on medical or disability leave and for whom it has been 180 calendar days or less since their last day of active employment) (the “Company Employees”) the same base salaries as are provided to such Company Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time, and employee benefits (excluding for this purpose equity based awards and, with respect to the period from the Effective Time through December 31, 2008, excluding annual or quarterly incentive bonuses) that are, in the aggregate, not less favorable than those provided by Parent to similarly-situated employees of Parent. In addition, with respect to the period commencing at the Effective Time and continuing through December 31, 2008, Parent shall continue the annual incentive bonus opportunities for the Company Employees at the same level as is in effect for the bonus period in which the Effective Time occurs and shall maintain in effect during this period the Company’s flexible spending benefit plan scheduled on Section 2.10(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

          (b) For purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits (but not benefit accrual under defined benefit pension or similar plans) under the employee benefit plans of Parent and its Affiliates providing benefits to any Company Employees after the

Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Company Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Affiliates through the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Benefit Plans in which such Company Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable employee benefit plan or compensation arrangement or agreements in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, Parent shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions had not been waived under the comparable plans of the Company or its subsidiaries in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and Parent shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents prior to the date such Company Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

          (c) For a period of one year following the Effective Time, Parent shall continue and cause to be honored the Company’s severance programs and policies described in Section 5.09(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter as in effect prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Severance Program”) without any amendments adverse to Company Employees; provided, that with respect to a Company Employee in the event Parent’s severance policy generally applicable to its similarly situated employees who commenced employment during the five-year period preceding the Effective Time would provide more favorable benefits to such Company Employee than the Company Severance Program applicable to such Company Employee, such Company Employee shall be eligible to receive benefits under Parent’s severance policy, instead of receiving payments or benefits under the Company Severance Program. In addition to any qualifying events, eligibility criteria or other circumstances entitling a Company Employee to severance benefits under the Company Severance Program or Parent’s severance policy as in effect on the date hereof, in the event that during such one-year period following the Effective Time, such Company Employee terminates employment as a result of a Constructive Discharge, such Company Employee shall receive severance benefits under the Company Severance Program or Parent’s severance policy, as applicable, to the same extent as if such Company Employee had been involuntarily terminated without cause. For purposes of this Section 5.09(c), the term “Constructive Discharge” shall mean (i) a material diminution in the essential functions of the Company Employee’s job as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time or (ii) a relocation of the Company Employee’s primary workplace to a location more than 50 miles from such Company Employee’s primary workplace as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

          (d) No later than five Business Days prior to its distribution, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of any communication intended to be made to any of their respective employees relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and will provide an opportunity for Parent to make reasonable revisions thereto and Parent will provide any such comments within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such communication.

          (e) Nothing in this Section 5.09 shall be construed or interpreted to (i) amend any Company Benefit Plan, (ii) prevent the amendment or termination of any Plan, (iii) interfere with the Parent’s right or obligation to make such changes to any Company Benefit Plan as are necessary to conform with applicable Law, or (iv) alter the at-will employment status of any Company Employee or limit the right of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any Company Employee at any time or, subject to compliance with its obligations under Section 5.09(c), require Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to provide any such employee benefits, rates of base salary or hourly wage or annual bonus opportunities for any period following any such termination.

     Section 5.10 Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such steps as may be reasonably requested by any Party hereto to cause dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act in accordance with that certain No-Action Letter dated January 12, 1999 issued by the SEC regarding such matters.

     Section 5.11 700 MHz Auction. The Company acknowledges that Parent is currently considering its participation, and may decide to participate, in FCC Auction No. 73 (700 MHz band) (“Auction 73”). If both Parent and the Company elect to participate in Auction 73, or if the Company elects to participate and Parent elects not to participate in Auction 73, each of Parent and the Company will endeavor and cooperate in good faith (including by preparing a joint bidding agreement, if both Parent and Company elect to participate) to enable the Closing to occur without delay and prior to the end of Auction 73. If Parent reasonably believes, based on advice of counsel, that the proposed cooperation (including the joint bidding arrangement, if applicable) will not render any risk of delay of the Closing (because of change in control restrictions under the FCC’s rules, violation of applicable Law or otherwise) reasonably unlikely, then the Company will not file a short form 175 for Auction 73.

     Section 5.12 Treatment of Senior Notes. (a) Provided that the provisions of Sections 5.12(e) and 5.12(f) are satisfied, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts to commence, as soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of a written request from Parent to do so, an offer to purchase all of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes , and to solicit the consent (the “Consent Solicitation”, together with the offer to purchase, the “Debt Offer”) of the holders of the Senior Notes to certain amendments to the indenture governing the Senior Notes (the “Indenture Amendments”), in each case, on terms and conditions in this Section 5.12 and otherwise specified by Parent; provided, that the Indenture Amendments shall be set forth in the offer to purchase, related letter of transmittal, and/or other related documents (collectively, the “Offer Documents”) necessary to consummate the Debt Offer and the Company shall not be required to commence any Debt Offer

until Parent shall have provided the Company with the Offer Documents; provided, further, that prior to the Effective Time, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to (i) make any cash expenditures or (ii) take any action that could obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to repurchase any Senior Notes or incur any additional obligations to the holders of the Senior Notes prior to the consummation of the Debt Offer. Any mailings to holders of the Senior Notes shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Company and Parent. The terms and conditions specified by Parent for the Debt Offer shall be only such terms and such conditions as are customarily included in offers to purchase debt securities similar to the Senior Notes and otherwise in compliance with applicable Laws. The closing of the Debt Offer shall be expressly conditioned on the completion of the Merger and shall be conducted in compliance with applicable Laws, including SEC rules and regulations. None of the Senior Notes shall be required to be purchased prior to the Effective Time. The Company and Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to, provide cooperation and assistance reasonably requested by the other in connection with the Debt Offer.

          (b) Subject to Sections 5.12(e) and 5.12(f), if requested by Parent in writing, in lieu of commencing a Debt Offer for the Senior Notes, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, to the extent permitted by the indenture governing the Senior Notes to (i) at any time after April 15, 2008, issue a notice of optional redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) for all of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes pursuant to the requisite provisions of the indenture governing the Senior Notes, or (ii) take actions reasonably requested by Parent that are reasonably necessary for the satisfaction, discharge or defeasance of the Senior Notes pursuant to the applicable provisions of the indenture governing the Senior Notes, and shall redeem or satisfy, discharge or defease, as applicable, the Senior Notes in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes on the Effective Time (clauses (i) and (ii), the “Debt Redemption”); provided, that (A) in no event shall the Company be required to consummate the Debt Redemption, provide any irrevocable notice of the Debt Redemption or take any other irrevocable act regarding the Debt Redemption prior to the Effective Time, (B) to the extent that any action described in clause (i) or (ii) can be conditioned on the occurrence of the Effective Time, it will be so conditioned, (C) prior to the Company being required to take any of the actions described in clause (i) or (ii) above that cannot be conditioned on the occurrence of the Effective Time, as of the Closing, Parent shall set aside, or shall cause to be set aside sufficient funds to deliver to the Company to effect such redemption or satisfaction or discharge, (D) prior to the Company being required to take any of the actions described in clause (ii) above, Parent shall deliver to, or shall cause to be delivered to, the Company or a paying agent identified by the Company to Parent and reasonably acceptable to Parent sufficient funds to deliver to the Company to effect such redemption or satisfaction or discharge, and (E) any “Opinion of Counsel” required to be given under the indenture governing the Senior Notes in connection with the Debt Redemption shall be given by counsel to the Surviving Corporation. The Company and Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to, provide cooperation and assistance reasonably requested by the other in connection with the Debt Redemption.

          (c) Subject to Section 5.12(a), the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, waive any of the conditions to the Debt Offer (other than that the Merger shall have been consummated and that there shall be no Law, injunction or other legal restraint prohibiting consummation of the Debt Offer) as may be reasonably requested by Parent and shall not, without the written consent of Parent, waive any condition to the Debt Offer or make any changes to the Debt Offer other than as agreed in writing between Parent and the Company. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to make any change to the terms and conditions of the Debt Offer requested by Parent that decreases the price per Senior Note payable in the Debt Offer or related consent solicitation or imposes conditions to the Debt Offers or related consent solicitation that are adverse to the holders of the Senior Notes, unless such change is previously approved by the Company in writing.

          (d) The Company covenants and agrees that, promptly following the Consent Solicitation expiration date, assuming the requisite consent of holders of the Senior Notes to authorize the Indenture Amendments (the “Requisite Consent”) are received, each of the Company and its applicable Subsidiaries as is necessary shall (and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable trustee to) execute supplemental indentures to the indenture governing the Senior Notes, which supplemental indentures shall implement the Indenture Amendments and shall become operative only concurrently with the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the conditions to the Debt Offer). Concurrently with the Effective Time, Parent shall provide to the Surviving Corporation necessary funds to and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to accept for payment and thereafter promptly pay for the Senior Notes that have been properly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Debt Offer.

          (e) Parent shall prepare all necessary and appropriate documentation in connection with the Debt Offer and the Debt Redemption, including the Offer Documents and the Redemption Notice, as applicable. Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, reasonably cooperate with each other in the preparation of the Offer Documents and Redemption Notice. The Offer Documents (including all amendments or supplements thereto) and all mailings to the holders of the Senior Notes in connection with the Debt Offer and Redemption Notice shall be subject to the prior review of, and comment by, the Company and Parent and shall be reasonably acceptable to each of them. If at any time prior to the completion of the Debt Offer, any information should be discovered by the Company or Parent which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Offer Documents, so that the Offer Documents shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the other party, and an appropriate amendment or supplement prepared by Parent describing such information shall be disseminated by or on behalf of the Company to the holders of the Senior Notes (which supplement or amendment and dissemination may, at the reasonable direction of Parent, take the form of a filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.12(e), the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-l under the Exchange Act and any other applicable

Law to the extent such laws are applicable in connection with the Debt Offer and such compliance will not be deemed a breach hereof.

          (f) In connection with the Debt Offer and any Debt Redemption, Parent may select one or more dealer managers, information agents, depositaries and other agents, in each case as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to provide assistance in connection therewith and the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, enter into customary agreements (including indemnities) with such parties so selected. Parent shall pay the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any dealer manager, information agent, depositary or other agent retained in connection with the Debt Offer and any Debt Redemption upon the incurrence of such fees and out-of-pocket expenses, and Parent further agrees to reimburse the Company and its Subsidiaries for all of their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the Debt Offer and any Debt Redemption promptly following the incurrence thereof. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors and each Person that controls the Company within the meaning of Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, a “Company Person”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (excluding the out-of-pocket costs and expenses referred to in the immediately preceding sentence) suffered or incurred by any Company Person, or to which any Company Person may become subject, that arises out of, or in any way in connection with, the Debt Offer, Debt Redemption, or any actions taken, or not taken by Company, or at the direction of Company, pursuant to this Section 5.12 or at the request of Parent.

     Section 5.13 Termination of Certain Other Indebtedness. On the Closing Date, subject to Parent making available the necessary funds to do so, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use reasonable efforts to, (i) repay all outstanding amounts under and terminate the Term Loan Agreement, or any other credit facility or instrument of Indebtedness that by its terms is prepayable or repayable at such time, specified by Parent to the Company no later than three days prior to Closing, and all related Contracts to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, and (ii) to the extent the related facility is terminated pursuant to this Section 5.13, cause to be released, to the extent the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has the right to do so at such time, any Liens on its assets relating to those facilities or instruments of Indebtedness. The Parties agree and acknowledge that, any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, compliance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with this Section 5.13 shall not be a condition to any Party’s obligation to effect the Merger.

     Section 5.14 Shareholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate, subject to a customary joint defense agreement, in, but not control, the defense or settlement of any shareholder litigation against the Company or any of its directors or officers relating to the Merger or any other transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall not settle or agree to settle any such litigation without Parent’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

     Section 5.15 Exchange Agreement. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall either (i) cause Section 9.1 of the Exchange Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2007, as

amended, by and among the Consenting Noteholders (as defined therein), the Company and certain of its Subsidiaries (the “Exchange Agreement”), to be terminated prior to the Effective Time, or (ii) obtain a waiver from each of Highland Capital Management, L.P., and Pardus Capital Management L.P. and DiMaio Ahmad Capital LLC waiving, effective as of the Effective Time, its right to designate any Person for election to, or to fill any vacancy on, the Company’s Board of Directors.

     Section 5.16 Site Build-out. The Company shall commence the identification of appropriate locations for the remaining cell sites that are contemplated to be built pursuant to the Company’s network improvement plan and for which locations have not been identified. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure appropriate cell sites and obtain all necessary zoning and building permits for the build-out of the cell sites contemplated by the network improvement plan and to develop and approve the budget related to such build-out. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to undertake the build out of such cell sites in a timely manner. Upon the reasonable request of Parent, the Company shall provide reasonably detailed updates to Parent of the progress of the network improvement plan. The Parties agree and acknowledge that, any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, neither the obtaining of any zoning or building permits nor the build-out of all, any or any portion of the cell sites contemplated by the network improvement plan nor the achievement of any progress milestones relating thereto shall be a condition to any Party’s obligation to effect the Merger.

     Section 5.17 Puerto Rico Switch. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts either to (i) relocate the switch equipment used by its Subsidiaries in Puerto Rico to another appropriate location, or (ii) extend the Real Property Lease relating to the Leased Real Property at which such equipment is located as of the date hereof, in each case without any material disruption to the Puerto Rico business and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and pursuant to a commercially reasonable Real Property Lease with a term which does not expire before the first anniversary of the Effective Time. The Parties agree and acknowledge that, any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, compliance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with this Section 5.17 shall not be a condition to any Party’s obligation to effect the Merger unless the failure of compliance has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

          (b) If this Agreement (i) is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(c)(ii) or by Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(d)(ii) (other than in respect of clause (A) or clause (B) of Section 7.01(d)(ii)), then prior to or concurrently with such termination (or, in the case of a termination by Parent, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within five Business Days), the Company shall pay Parent a fee equal to $48 million (the “Termination Fee”), which payment shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by Parent or (ii)(A) is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i) (but only if, as of the End Date, the conditions set forth in Section 6.01(b) and Section 6.01(c) and Section 6.02(a) and Section 6.02(b) were satisfied) or 7.01(b)(iv) or by Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(d)(i) as a result of a willful breach by the Company of a representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein; (B) at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Company Meeting (in the case of termination pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(iv)) or the date of termination (in the case of termination pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i) or Section 7.01(d)(i)), a bona fide, written Alternative Proposal shall have been publicly announced or publicly made known and shall not have been publicly withdrawn at least seven Business Days prior to the Company Meeting (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(iv)) or the date of termination (in the case of termination pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i) or Section 7.01(d)(i)); and (C) within 12 months after such termination pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(iv),

Section 7.01(b)(i) or Section 7.01(d)(i), the Company or any of its Subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates, any Alternative Proposal (whether or not the same as that previously announced or made known), then the Company shall promptly pay Parent the Termination Fee (minus any amount of expenses previously paid in accordance with Section 7.02(c)), but in no event later than two Business Days after the date of such execution or consummation, which payment shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by Parent. For purposes of this Section 7.02, the term “Alternative Proposal” shall read as if each reference to “20%” in the definition of such term were a reference to “50%.”

          (c) If this Agreement is terminated by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(iv) (or by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i), 7.01(b)(ii) or 7.01(b)(iii) at any time when this Agreement is terminable pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(iv)), the Company shall pay to Parent an amount equal to the sum of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s reasonably documented expenses (not to exceed $10 million) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Parent, within two Business Days after the date of such termination; provided that the payment by the Company of such expenses pursuant to this Section 7.02(c) shall not relieve the Company of any obligation to pay the Termination Fee pursuant to any other provision of this Section 7.02.

          (d) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.02 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, that without these agreements Parent and Merger Sub would not have entered into this Agreement, and that any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 7.02 do not constitute a penalty. If the Company fails to pay Parent the Termination Fee when due, the Company shall pay the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by Parent in connection with the collection under and enforcement of this Section 7.02 and shall pay interest on the amount of the Termination Fee, at the rate of 10% per annum, compounded daily, from the date such Termination Fee became due and owing through and including the date of payment. In addition, the Parties further agree that, if the Company fails to pay Parent any amount payable under this Agreement when due or Parent fails to pay the Company any amount payable under this Agreement when due (other than the amounts referred to in the prior sentence), the Company or Parent, as the case may be, shall pay interest on such amount at the rate of 10% per annum, compounded daily, from the date such amount became due and owing through and including the date of payment.

          Section 7.03 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Company and Parent pursuant to a writing adopted by action taken by each of them at any time before the Effective Time; provided, however, that, after approval of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company no amendment may be made which under applicable law would require approval of such Party’s stockholders without such approval.

          Section 7.04 Waiver. At any time before the Effective Time, the Company and Parent may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the others, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements

or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only as against such Party and only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by such Party.
