(c) The delivery of the Stock, free and clear of all Liens, by AWS PCS to Triton in the manner contemplated under this Section 7.4 shall be deemed to be a Closing for purposes of Section 2.1(a) hereof and shall cause the immediate termination of the Stockholders Agreement, in accordance with terms of the Amendment to the Stockholders Agreement and Section 2.1(b). In addition, as set forth in the Amendment to the Stockholders Agreement, in the event that Triton fails to accept delivery of the Stock in the manner contemplated by this Section 7.4 or at the Closing, for any reason, then such failure shall cause the immediate termination of the Stockholders Agreement and, upon the termination of the Stockholders Agreement, Triton agrees that the Stock shall be transferable free of the restrictions on transferability contained in the Stockholders Agreement, in this Agreement or in the provisions of any other agreement between Triton and its controlled Affiliates, on the one hand, and AWS PCS and its Affiliates, on the other hand. (d) AWS further agrees that, concurrently with any delivery of the Stock to Triton contemplated under Section 7.4(a) or Section 7.4(b), AWS also shall surrender, assign and deliver the License Company Interests to Triton, free and clear of all Liens, and Triton shall be required to accept, and shall be deemed to have accepted, the License Company Interests after AWS PCS has delivered to Triton an executed Assignment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the failure of AWS to effect delivery of the License Company Interests, free and clear of all Liens, or the delivery of the Assignment concurrently with any such delivery of the Stock shall not affect the validity of such delivery and acceptance of the Stock, and such concurrent delivery of the License Company Interests shall not otherwise be a condition to Triton's obligations under Section 7.4(a) or Section 7.4(b) to accept delivery of the Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if AWS fails to effect delivery of the License Company Interests, free and clear of all Liens, or the delivery of the executed Assignment, Triton shall continue to have all rights and remedies to seek enforcement of such obligation to deliver the License Company Interests and the Assignment, and nothing in this Section 7.4 is intended to relieve any party of any liability or obligation to effect at the Closing any of the other transactions contemplated under any of the other provisions of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents in accordance with their respective terms. -11- (e) In the event of the surrender, assignment and delivery of the Stock by AWS PCS to Triton and concurrent termination of the Stockholders Agreement under this Section 7.4 , the surrender, assignment and delivery of the Stock and termination of the Stockholders Agreement shall be viewed as being in the nature of liquidated damages because of the difficulty of estimating the damages which would result and not as a penalty with respect to the obligations of any of Triton, Cingular, AWS and AWS PCS under Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(b) hereof, and thereafter none of Cingular, AWS, AWS PCS or Triton shall pursue any other right or remedy that may be available to it against another party hereto that directly relates to the Stock or the Stockholders Agreement.; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.4 is intended to relieve any party of any liability or obligation to effect any of the other transactions contemplated under any of the other provisions of this Agreement (including the other provisions of Section 2.1 or the provisions of Section 7.4(f)) or the Transaction Documents and the parties shall reserve such other rights and remedies as they may have at law or in equity against any other party hereto to seek to enforce such other provisions. Notwithstanding such reservation of rights and remedies with respect to the other provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, Triton shall not pursue such rights and remedies in a manner that could reasonably be expected to interfere with the ability of any of Cingular, AWS or AWS PCS to effectuate the Merger. (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the termination of the Stockholders Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, in the event that the surrender, assignment and delivery of the Stock by AWS PCS to Triton and Triton's concurrent acceptance of such Stock occurs both prior to the closing of the Merger and prior to a Disqualifying Event (as defined below), then each of AWS, AWS PCS and their respective Affiliates shall continue to be bound by, and shall be obligated to comply fully and in all respects with, the provisions set forth in Section 8.6(b) of the Stockholders Agreement until the earlier of a Disqualifying Event or the closing of the Merger occurs. As used herein a "Disqualifying Event" shall mean any of the following: (i) a breach by Triton or its Affiliates of Section 7.5 hereof; (ii) a material breach by Triton of any of the representations contained in Sections 6.3, 6.4 or 6.5 hereof; or (iii) a Triton Bankruptcy. 7.5 Covenant Not to Sue; No Objection to the Merger. Triton, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby covenants and agrees not to bring, commence, prosecute, maintain or cause or permit to be brought, commenced, prosecuted or maintained any suit, action or proceeding, either at law or in equity, in any court or before any other Governmental Authority (i) regarding the Merger or on account of Cingular's acquisition of AWS and AWS PCS or (ii) challenging the enforceability of Sections 7.4 or 7.5 hereof, including without limitation a filing at the FCC with respect to, or otherwise seek to cause any Governmental Authority to refuse to issue its Consent to, the Merger. The foregoing covenant not to sue may be raised or pleaded in any action or other proceeding which may be brought, instituted or taken by any party or its predecessors, successors or assigns and all past and present shareholders, directors, officers, agents, Affiliates, heirs, and personal Representatives. The foregoing covenant not to sue shall not be deemed or construed to be an acknowledgement or agreement by Cingular, AWS or AWS PCS that Triton has any claim or standing to challenge the Merger in any way. -12- ARTICLE 8 CONFIDENTIALITY 8.1 Confidentiality. AWS, Cingular and Triton are parties to the Confidentiality Agreement, and the disclosure of this Agreement, or of the terms hereof or the existence of the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the termination of this Agreement prior to Closing in accordance with Article 12, the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, but shall expire concurrently with the Closing hereunder. ARTICLE 9 JOINT COVENANTS Subject to the provisions of Section 7.4, each of the parties to this Agreement covenant and agree as follows: 9.1 Cooperation.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from time to time prior to, at and after the Closing, each party hereto will use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all such actions and to do or cause to be done, all things, necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Legal Requirements and regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, executing and delivering such documents as any of the other parties being advised by counsel shall reasonably request in connection with the consummation of this Agreement. After the Closing, each of the parties to this Agreement will execute any further documents consistent with the Transaction Documents, provide any further reasonably available information, and take any other actions not imposing significant financial or operational obligations in excess of the other obligations imposed by the Transaction Documents, upon the request of any other party to this Agreement based upon any such other party's reasonable determination that those actions are required to enable such other party to effectuate the Transaction Documents. No party to this Agreement shall take any action which is materially inconsistent with its obligations under the Transaction Documents. Each party to this Agreement shall notify each other party to this Agreement of any litigation, arbitration or administrative proceeding pending or, to its knowledge, threatened, which challenges any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or which threatens to delay them, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such steps as may be necessary to remove any such impediment to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. -13- 9.2 Consents. Each party to this Agreement shall diligently make and cooperate with the other parties to this Agreement in using all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or cause to be obtained prior to the Closing all Consents which have not been obtained on or before the date of this Agreement. 9.3 Public Announcements. No party to this Agreement will issue any press release or make any other public announcements concerning this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby except with the prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the other parties; provided, however, that if any such disclosure is required by any applicable Legal Requirements or the rules or regulations of any securities exchange, such consent shall not be required, but, in such circumstances no party hereto will make such disclosure without first providing to the other parties an advance copy of any such disclosure and a reasonable opportunity to review and comment, to the extent practicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and issue a press release with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

No party to this Agreement may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this Article 10 to be satisfied if the failure of such condition to be satisfied is the result of the breach of this Agreement by such party or, in the case of a non-fulfillment of the condition set forth in Section 10.1(b), if such party shall not have used commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the entry of such judgment, injunction, restraining order or decree and to appeal as expeditiously as reasonably possible any such judgment, injunction, restraining order or decree that may be entered.
