7. SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION
7.1 Survival. The representations and warranties made in this Agreement
shall survive the Closing without regard to any investigation made by any of the
parties hereto until the second anniversary thereof and shall thereupon expire
together with any right to indemnification in respect thereof (except to the
extent a written notice asserting a claim for breach of any such representation
or warranty and describing such claim in reasonable detail shall have been given
prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period to the party which
made such representation or warranty). The covenants and agreements contained
herein to be performed or complied with prior to the Closing shall expire at the
Closing. The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement to be
performed or complied with after the Closing shall
-12-
survive the Closing; provided that the right to indemnification pursuant to this
Article VII in respect of a breach of a representation or warranty shall expire
upon the application of the applicable survival period of the Closing (except to
the extent written notice asserting a claim thereunder and describing such claim
in reasonable detail shall have been given prior to such expiration to the party
from whom such indemnification is sought); provided further, that the
representations and warranties made in Section 4 of this Agreement by TeleCorp
and THC to the Management Stockholders shall not survive the Closing. After the
Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties for any breach or
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, or any
other claim (whether or not alleging a breach of this Agreement) that arises out
of the facts and circumstances constituting such breach or inaccuracy, shall be
the indemnity provided in this Article VII.
7.2 Indemnification by the Investors. Each Investor shall indemnify and
hold harmless each other Investor, TeleCorp and THC and their respective
Affiliates, and the shareholders, members, managers, directors, officers,
employees, agents and/or the legal representatives of any of them (each, a
"Section 7.2 Indemnified Party"), against all liabilities and expenses
(including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, as fines
and penalties, and as counsel fees) (collectively, "Losses") incurred by him or
it in connection with the investigation, defense, or disposition of any action,
suit or other proceeding in which any Section 7.2 Indemnified Party may be
involved or with which he or it may be threatened (whether arising out of or
relating to matters asserted by third parties against a Section 7.2 Indemnified
Party or incurred or sustained by such party in the absence of a third-party
claim), that arises out of or results from (a) any representation or warranty of
such indemnifying party contained in this Agreement being untrue in any material
respect as of the date on which it was made or (b) any material default by such
indemnifying party or any of its Affiliates in the performance of their
respective obligations under this Agreement; except to the extent (but only to
the extent) any such Losses arise out of or result from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Section 7.2 Indemnified Party or its Affiliates;
provided that the aggregate liability of each Management Stockholder to
indemnify Section 7.2 Indemnified Parties against Losses arising out of or
resulting from (x) the untruth in any material respect of any representation or
warranty as to LMDS made by such Management Stockholder in this Agreement, (y)
any material default by such Management Stockholder in the performance of his
obligations under this Agreement, shall be limited to the surrender to TeleCorp
of the shares of TeleCorp Stock such Management Stockholder receives hereunder
for his shares of Class A Common Stock, and Section 7.2 Indemnified Parties
seeking indemnification against any Management Stockholder for such Losses
hereunder shall not have recourse to any other assets of such Management
Stockholder.
7.3 Indemnification by TeleCorp and THC. TeleCorp and THC shall jointly and
severally indemnify and hold harmless each of the Investors and their respective
Affiliates, and the shareholders, members, managers, officers, employees, agents
and/or the legal representatives of any of them (each, a "Section 7.3
Indemnified Party"), against all Losses incurred by him or it in connection with
the investigation, defense, or disposition of any action, suit or other
proceeding in which any Section 7.3 Indemnified Party may be involved or with
which he or it may be threatened (whether arising out of or relating to matters
asserted by third parties against a Section 7.3 Indemnified Party or incurred or
sustained by such party in the absence of a third-party claim), that arises out
of or results from (a) any representation or
-13-
warranty of TeleCorp and/or THC contained in this Agreement being untrue in any
material respect as of the date on which it was made or (b) any material default
by TeleCorp and/or THC or any of their respective Affiliates in the performance
of their respective obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent (but
only to the extent) any such Losses arise out of or result from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Section 7.3 Indemnified Party or its
Affiliates; provided, that TeleCorp and THC shall not be obligated to indemnify
the Management Stockholders for any Losses arising from a breach of any
representation or warranty made in Section 4.
7.4 Procedures.
(a) The terms of this Section 7.4 shall apply to any claim (a "Claim") for
indemnification under the terms of Sections 7.2 or 7.3. The Section 7.2
Indemnified Party or Section 7.3 Indemnified Party (each, an "Indemnified
Party"), as the case may be, shall give prompt written notice of such Claim to
the indemnifying party (the "Indemnifying Party") under the applicable Section,
which party may assume the defense thereof, provided that any delay or failure
to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is materially
prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. The Indemnified Party shall have
the right to approve any counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and to
approve the terms of any proposed settlement, such approval not to be
unreasonably delayed or withheld (unless, in the case of approval of a proposed
settlement, such settlement provides only, as to the Indemnified Party, the
payment of money damages actually paid by the Indemnifying Party and a complete
release of the Indemnified Party in respect of the claim in question).
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this
Article VII shall not be construed so as to provide for the indemnification of
any Indemnified Party for any liability to the extent (but only to the extent)
that such indemnification would be in violation of applicable law or that such
liability may not be waived, modified or limited under applicable law, but shall
be construed so as to effectuate the provisions of this Article VII to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of any
Claim, the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party advised as to all
material developments in connection with such Claim, including, but not limited
to, promptly furnishing the Indemnified Party with copies of all material
documents filed or served in connection therewith.
(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of
any Claim within ten business days after receiving written notice thereof, the
Indemnified Party shall have the right, subject to the Indemnifying Party's
right to assume the defense pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII, to
undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim for the account of
the Indemnifying Party. Unless and until the Indemnified Party assumes the
defense of any Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall advance to the Indemnified
Party any of its reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the defense of any such action or proceeding. Each
Indemnified Party shall agree in writing prior to any such advancement that, in
the event he or it receives any such advance, such Indemnified Party shall
reimburse the Indemnifying Party for such fees, costs and expenses to the extent
that it shall be determined that he or it was not entitled to indemnification
under this Article VII.
-14-
(d) In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be required to pay in
connection with any Claim for more than one firm of counsel (and local counsel)
for each of the following groups of Indemnified Parties: (i) the Stockholders,
their respective Affiliates, and the shareholders, members, managers, officers,
employees, agents and/or the legal representatives of any of them; (ii) the
Management Stockholders, their respective successors, assigns, heirs, personal
representatives, beneficiaries, agents and/or the legal representatives of any
of them; and (iii) TeleCorp and THC and their respective Affiliates, and the
shareholders, members, managers, officers, employees, agents and/or the legal
representatives of any of them.

Class A Voting Common Stock:
An aggregate of 270,000 shares of Class A Voting Common Stock shall be issued as
follows:
Stockholders:
Each Stockholder shall receive shares of Class A Voting Common Stock equal
to 270,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
Accreted Value and denominator of which shall be the Fair Market Value.
For the purposes hereof, the term "Accreted Value" shall mean an amount
equal to the accreted value of the LMDS Series A Preferred Stock held by a
Stockholder, post-Spin-Off, less the aggregate face amount of the Series C
Preferred Stock of TeleCorp to be received by such Stockholder at Closing.
For the purposes hereof, the term "Fair Market Value" shall mean an amount
equal to the product of the per share average daily trading price of TeleCorp's
Class A Voting Common Stock for the three business days immediately preceding
the Closing Date times 270,000.
Investors:
Each Investor shall receive a number of shares of Class A Voting Common
Stock equal to the product of its pro rata common stock ownership in LMDS times
the difference between 270,000 shares and the number of shares of Class A Voting
Common Stock issued to the Stockholders above.
The parties hereto acknowledge that the Management Stockholders, in the
aggregate, own fifteen percent (15%) of the issued and outstanding common stock
of LMDS and that the Stockholders, in the aggregate, own eighty five percent
(85%) of the issued and outstanding common stock of LMDS.
