the part of the holder thereof, shall no longer be options to acquire TeleCorp

as the case may be, that were purchasable under such Outstanding Employee Option
immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the applicable Exchange
12
Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of the Holding Company
Common Stock and the per-share exercise price for the shares of Class A Voting
Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Outstanding Employee Options will
be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per-share of
TeleCorp or Tritel Common Stock, as the case may be, at which such Outstanding
Employee Options were exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the
relevant Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the
nearest whole cent.

immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged
for one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of

provision of this Agreement, the TeleCorp Exchange Ratio and the Tritel Exchange

reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including,
without limitation, any stock dividend of securities convertible into TeleCorp
Capital Stock or Tritel Capital Stock, as the case may be), reorganization,
recapitalization or other like change with respect to TeleCorp Capital Stock or
Tritel Capital Stock occurring or with a record date after the date hereof and
prior to the Effective Time.
14
1.11 Fractional Shares.
-----------------
(a) No fraction of a share of Class A Voting Stock shall be issued,
but in lieu thereof each holder of shares of TeleCorp Common Stock or Tritel
Common Stock, as the case may be, who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction
of a share of Class A Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Class A
Voting Stock to be received by such holder) shall receive from the Exchange
Agent (as defined below) in lieu of such fractional shares of Class A Voting
Stock, an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent and without
interest) representing such holder's proportionate interest, if any, in the net
proceeds from the sale by the Exchange Agent in one or more transactions (which
sale transactions shall be made at such times, in such manner and on such terms
as the Exchange Agent shall determine in its reasonable discretion) on behalf of
all such holders of the aggregate of the fractional shares of Class A Voting
Stock which would otherwise have been issued (the "Excess Shares"). The sale of
-------------
the Excess Shares by the Exchange Agent shall be executed on the Nasdaq National
Market System and shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable.
Until the net proceeds of such sale or sales have been distributed to the
holders of TeleCorp Common Stock or Tritel Common Stock, as applicable, the
Exchange Agent will hold such proceeds in trust for the holders of the
applicable TeleCorp Common Stock and the Tritel Common Stock. The Holding
Company shall pay all commissions, transfer taxes and other out-of-pocket
transaction costs, including, without limitation, the expenses and compensation
of the Exchange Agent, incurred in connection with such sale of the Excess
Shares. The Holding Company may decide, at its option, exercised prior to the
Effective Time, in lieu of the issuance and sale of Excess Shares and the making
of the payments heretofore contemplated by Section 2.4 that the Holding Company
-----------
shall pay to the Exchange Agent an amount sufficient for the Exchange Agent to
pay each holder of TeleCorp Common Stock and Tritel Common Stock the amount such
holder would have received pursuant
15
to the foregoing assuming that the sales of Class A Stock were made at a price
equal to the average of the closing bid prices of the Class A Stock on the
Nasdaq National Market System, for the ten consecutive trading days immediately
following the Effective Time and, in such case, all references herein to the
cash proceeds of the sale of the Excess Shares and similar references shall be
deemed to mean and refer to the payments calculated as set forth in this
sentence. In such event, Excess Shares shall not be issued or otherwise
transferred to the Exchange Agent. As soon as practicable after the
determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of TeleCorp
Common Stock or Tritel Common Stock, as applicable, in lieu of any fractional
shares of the applicable TeleCorp Common Stock and the Tritel Common Stock, the
Exchange Agent shall make available such amounts to such holders of shares of
the applicable TeleCorp Common Stock and the Tritel Common Stock without
interest.
(b) Fractions of a share of all classes and series of the Holding
Company Capital Stock, other than Class A Voting Stock, may be issued in
connection with the Mergers.
1.12 Surrender of Certificates.
-------------------------
(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, the Holding Company
--------------
shall designate a bank or trust company to act as exchange agent (the "Exchange
--------
Agent") in connection with the Mergers.
-----
(b) The Holding Company to Provide Capital Stock. When and as
--------------------------------------------
needed, the Holding Company shall make available to the Exchange Agent for
exchange in accordance with this Article I, through such reasonable procedures
---------
as the Holding Company may adopt, sufficient shares of the Holding Company
Capital Stock to be exchanged pursuant to Section 1.6.
-----------
(c) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, the
-------------------
Holding Company shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of a
certificate or certificates (the "Certificates") which immediately prior to the
------------
Effective Time represented outstanding shares of
16
TeleCorp Capital Stock and Tritel Capital Stock whose shares were converted into
the right to receive shares of the Holding Company Capital Stock pursuant to
Section 1.6, a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be
-----------
effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon
delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and
have such other provisions as the TeleCorp and/or Tritel may reasonably specify)
and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in
exchange for certificates representing shares of the Holding Company Capital
Stock. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent,
together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in
accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall
be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing the
number and type of shares of the Holding Company Capital Stock or, in the case
of Class A Voting Stock, payment in lieu of fractional shares which such holder
has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.11, and the Certificate so
------------
surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, each outstanding
Certificate that, prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of TeleCorp
Capital Stock or Tritel Capital Stock, as the case may be, shall be deemed from
and after the Effective Time, for all legal purposes, to evidence only the right
to receive the number of shares of the Holding Company Capital Stock into which
the holder of such shares of TeleCorp Capital Stock or Tritel Capital Stock, as
the case may be, is entitled and, in the case of Class A Voting Stock, the right
to receive an amount in cash in lieu of the issuance of any fractional shares in
accordance with Section 1.11. Any portion of the shares of the Holding Company
------------
Capital Stock and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section
-------
1.12(b) which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates representing
-------
shares of TeleCorp Capital Stock or Tritel Capital Stock, as the case may be,
for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Holding
Company, upon demand, and any holders of shares of
17
TeleCorp Capital Stock or Tritel Capital Stock, as the case may be, who have not
theretofore complied with the provisions of this Article I shall thereafter look
---------
only to the Holding Company and only as general creditors thereof for payment of
their claim for the Holding Company Capital Stock, any cash in lieu of
fractional shares of Class A Voting Stock and any dividends or distributions
with respect to the Holding Company Capital Stock to which such holders may then
be entitled.
(d) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends
------------------------------------------------
or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to
the Holding Company Capital Stock with a record date after the Effective Time
will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the
shares of the Holding Company Capital Stock represented thereby until the holder
of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to
applicable law, following the surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be
paid to the record holder of the certificates representing shares of the Holding
Company Capital Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time
of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record
date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of
the Holding Company Capital Stock.
(e) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for shares of the
----------------------
Holding Company Capital Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which
the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered in the stock
register of TeleCorp or Tritel, as applicable, it shall be a condition of the
issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed
and otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the stockholder requesting
such exchange shall have paid to the Holding Company, or any agent designated by
it, any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a
certificate for shares of the Holding Company Capital Stock in any name other
than that of the registered holder of the
18
Certificate surrendered, or established to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Holding Company or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is
otherwise not payable.
(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
------------
Agreement, none of the Exchange Agent, the Holding Company, XxxxXxxx XX or
Xxxxxx II shall be liable to a holder of shares of TeleCorp Capital Stock or
Tritel Capital Stock, as the case may be, for the Holding Company Capital Stock
or any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable
abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
(g) Withholding of Tax. Either the Holding Company or the Exchange
------------------
Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise
payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of TeleCorp Capital
Stock or Tritel Capital Stock, as the case may be, such amounts as the Holding
Company (or any Affiliate thereof (as defined in Section 10.4)) or the Exchange
------------
Agent shall determine in good faith they are required to deduct and withhold
with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of
any applicable state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are
so withheld by the Holding Company or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts
will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the
holder of the shares of TeleCorp Capital Stock or Tritel Capital Stock, as the
case may be, in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made by the
Holding Company.
1.13 Further Ownership Rights in Shares. All shares of the Holding
----------------------------------
Company Capital Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of
TeleCorp Capital Stock or Tritel Capital Stock, as the case may be, in
accordance with the terms of this Article I (including any cash paid in respect
---------
thereof) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights
pertaining to such shares of TeleCorp Capital Stock or Tritel Capital Stock, as
the case may be, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the
records of either XxxxXxxx XX
19
or Tritel II of shares of capital stock which were outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented
to either XxxxXxxx XX or Xxxxxx II for any reason, they shall be canceled and
exchanged as provided in this Article I.

--------- ----------- -----------------
Amendment"), (ii) the Airadigm Assignment (as defined below), (iii) the Indus
---------
Assignment (as defined below) and (iv) a wire transfer of immediately available
funds in the amount of $20,000,000 (the "Cash Contribution") (the items
-----------------
described in items (i) through (iv), the "Contributed Property") and the Holding
--------------------
Company shall, and shall cause TeleCorp to, as appropriate, execute the License
Extension Amendment, the Airadigm Assignment and the Indus Assignment and the
Holding Company shall issue to AT&T (or its Affiliates) the Shares. It is
expressly understood by the parties that the failure of the Contribution to
occur at the Effective Time shall not prevent the Mergers from occurring. As
used herein, the term "Airadigm Assignment" shall mean the assignment by AT&T
-------------------
(or one of its Affiliates) of all its rights, title and interest in, to and
under a certain Letter of Intent attached hereto as Exhibit D-2 (the "Airadigm
----------- --------
Letter of Intent") which contemplates the entering into of an asset purchase
----------------
agreement (the "Airadigm Purchase Agreement") between Airadigm Communications,
---------------------------
Inc., a Wisconsin corporation ("Airadigm"), and a buyer designated by AT&T (the
--------
"Airadigm Buyer"), as part of, and subject to the approval of, a Plan of
--------------
Reorganization filed January 24, 2000 in connection with the bankruptcy
proceedings entitled In re Airadigm Communications, Inc., No.
-----------------------------------
20
99-33500, Bktcy. W.D. Wisc., a copy of which is attached as Exhibit F (the "Plan
--------- ----

-----------------
into, the term "Airadigm Assignment" shall mean the assignment by AT&T of all
its right, title and interest in, to and under the Airadigm Purchase Agreement.
As used herein, the term "Indus Assignment" shall mean the assignment by AT&T
----------------
(or its Affiliates) to the Holding Company or TeleCorp (or one of their
respective Affiliates) of all its right, title and interest in, to and under
that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger in the form of Exhibit G-1 dated as of
-----------
February 27, 2000, between Indus, Inc. Milwaukee PCS LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (the "Indus Buyer") and certain other parties (the "Indus
----------- -----
Merger Agreement"), in the form of Exhibit G-2.
---------------- -----------
(b) The failure to occur of any or all of the transactions
contemplated by the Airadigm Assignment shall not prevent the Contribution from
occurring at the Effective Time with respect to the other aspects of the
Contribution with respect to which the conditions specified in Section 7.4 shall
-----------
have been satisfied.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, prior
to the Effective Time, TeleCorp and AT&T will execute and deliver the Indus
Assignment and one or more amendments to the Network Membership License
Agreement between AT&T Corp. and TeleCorp dated as of July 17, 1998, the
Intercarrier Roamer Service Agreement between AT&T and TeleCorp dated as of July
17, 1998 and the Roaming Administration Agreement between AT&T and TeleCorp
dated as of July 17, 1998 extending the rights of TeleCorp under such agreements
to the Indus territory in form and substance acceptable to AT&T and TeleCorp
(the "Indus Amendments"), as soon as the conditions to the consummation of the
----------------
transaction contemplated by the Indus Merger Agreement shall be satisfied if
such conditions shall be satisfied prior to the Effective Time (an "Early Indus
-----------
Closing"). In the event of an Early
-------
21
Indus Closing, TeleCorp will not be required to pay AT&T any consideration at
the time of the Early Indus Closing. In the event the Early Indus Closing occurs
and the Contribution is consummated, the Early Indus Closing shall be deemed
part of the Contribution. In the event the Early Indus Closing occurs, TeleCorp
or one of its Affiliates will assume all of the obligations of AT&T (or its
Affiliates) pursuant to that certain Organizational Agreement effective as of
February 27, 2000, among Xxxxxx Xxx, Indus, Inc., AT&T Wireless Services, Inc.,
the Indus Buyer and AT&T Milwaukee JV, Inc. (the "Indus Organization Agreement")
----------------------------
(such costs being referred to herein as the "Indus Transaction Costs"). If the
-----------------------
Early Indus Closing occurs and this Agreement is (or the provisions of this
Agreement relating to the Contribution are) terminated without the Contribution
occurring, then at the option of AT&T: either (i) TeleCorp will re-assign and
transfer to AT&T (or its Affiliates or designees) all assets and rights which
were assigned and transferred to TeleCorp by AT&T in connection with the Early
Indus Closing (and AT&T will reimburse TeleCorp for all out-of-pocket costs
incurred by TeleCorp in connection with (x) the Indus Transaction Costs or (y)
any improvements to or maintenance of such assets to the extent that AT&T
determines reasonably and in good faith that, in the case of clause (x), such
costs were either reasonably incurred or were costs that are of the nature of
costs that AT&T (or its Affiliates) would incur under similar circumstances or,
in the case of clause (y), to the extent such costs improved the value of the
Indus assets or were costs that AT&T (or its Affiliates or successor in title)
would have to incur in any event; or (ii) TeleCorp will pay AT&T an amount in
TeleCorp Class A Voting Stock valued at the average of the closing bid prices
for the TeleCorp Class A Voting Stock for the ten trading days immediately
preceding the date of the Early Indus Closing equal to (1) $175 times the number
of Indus POPS (where "POPs" means Xxxx Xxxxx Associates, Inc. estimate of the
----
1998 population of a geographic area), less (2) the amount of the purchase price
that was paid plus the amount of the Indus debt assumed pursuant to the Indus
Merger Agreement or (without duplication) the Indus Organization Agreement. In
22
the event of an Early Indus Closing, if this Agreement is (or the provisions of
this Agreement relating to the Contribution are) terminated without the
Contribution occurring, AT&T and TeleCorp will take all action necessary so that
the Indus Amendments shall be terminated and all the rights thereunder shall
revert to AT&T (or its Affiliate).
(d) (i) In the event that AT&T is unable to deliver, or cause the
delivery of, the Indus Assets, then AT&T may in lieu thereof deliver or cause to
be delivered to the Holding Company executed assignments in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Holding Company for 20 MHz of PCS licenses
(chosen at AT&T's option) for at least an equivalent number of POPs in the
Kansas City or Indianapolis BTAs and their surrounding BTAs or in such other
BTA's as the parties agree in good faith are reasonably equivalent to the
aforementioned regions (the "Replacement Assets"), provided that if AT&T chooses
------------------ --------
to provide Replacement Assets, the Holding Company will deliver to AT&T (or its
Affiliates) an amount of the Class A Voting Stock (valued based on the average
of the closing prices of such stock for the ten trading days immediately
preceding delivery of such Class A Voting Stock by the Holding Company) equal to
the amount of the purchase price that was required to be paid (plus the amount
of the Indus debt to be assumed) pursuant to the Indus Merger Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby, and, if the number of POPs included in the
Replacement Assets chosen exceeds the number of Indus POPs, the Holding Company
will deliver to AT&T (or its Affiliates) an additional amount of Class A Voting
Stock, valued as described above, equal to $175 times the number of such excess
POPs (in which case the defined term "Shares" shall include such additional
shares of Class A Voting Stock).
(ii) In the event that AT&T is unable to deliver, or cause the
delivery of, the Indus Assets and AT&T does not elect to deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Holding Company Replacement Assets, AT&T shall
provide prompt notice thereof to TeleCorp
23
(or, after the Effective Time, the Holding Company) and TeleCorp (or the
Holding Company) may, by notice given within five business days after
receipt of such notice from AT&T, elect to terminate the Contribution.
1.15 Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated and
-------
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement abandoned pursuant to the
provisions of Article VIII, and subject to the provisions of Article VII, the
------------ -----------
closing of the Mergers (the "Closing") shall take place at 10:00 a.m. (eastern
-------
standard time) on a date (the "Closing Date") to be mutually agreed upon by the
------------
parties, which date shall be not later than the fifth business day after all the
conditions set forth in Article VII (excluding conditions that, by their nature,
-----------
cannot be satisfied until or on the Closing Date) shall have been satisfied (or
waived in accordance with Article VII, to the extent the same may be waived),
-----------
unless another time and/or date is agreed to in writing by the parties. The
Closing shall take place at the offices of Cadwalader, Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxx, 000
Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX, unless another place is agreed to by the parties.
1.16 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any
--------------------------------------
Certificates evidencing shares of TeleCorp Capital Stock or Tritel Capital
Stock, as the case may be, shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the
Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed
certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof
in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holding Company, such shares
of the Holding Company Capital Stock to which the holder of such Certificate
would otherwise be entitled to pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.6 and
-----------
cash for fractional shares, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 1.11;
------------
provided, however, that the Holding Company may, in its discretion and as a
-------- -------
condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost,
stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may
reasonably direct as
24
indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Holding Company or the
Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost,
stolen or destroyed.
1.17 Tax Consequences. For Federal income tax purposes, the parties
----------------
intend that the Mergers and the Contribution, taken together, will qualify as a
tax-free transaction within the meaning of Section 351 of the Code and that each
of the Mergers be treated as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of
the Code. Except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a "determination"
within the meaning of Code Section 1313(a), the parties shall not take a
position on any Tax Return (as defined below) inconsistent with this Section
-------
1.17.

Directors of the Holding Company shall be as set forth on Schedule A , and such
----------
Board of Directors shall take all actions necessary to cause the Board of
Directors of the Holding Company, as of the Effective Time, to consist of the
persons identified on Schedule A hereto, classified into three classes and with
----------
terms expiring as set forth on such Schedule A.
----------
26
2.3 Officers of the Holding Company. As of the Effective Time, the
-------------------------------
Board of Directors of the Holding Company shall take all actions necessary to
elect as officers of the Holding Company the individuals set forth on Schedule A
----------
hereto.
2.4 Indemnification and Insurance.
-----------------------------
(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Holding Company will, or
will cause XxxxXxxx XX and Xxxxxx II to, fulfill and honor in all respects the
obligations of TeleCorp and Tritel pursuant to their respective Certificates of
Incorporation and By-laws and any indemnification agreements between TeleCorp,
Tritel and each of their respective directors and officers existing prior to the
Effective Time. The Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of each of
XxxxXxxx XX and Xxxxxx II will contain the provisions with respect to
indemnification set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of
TeleCorp and Tritel, respectively, prior to the Effective Time, which provisions
shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6)
years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the
rights thereunder of individuals who, at any time prior to the Effective Time,
were directors, officers, employees or agents of TeleCorp or Tritel, unless such
modification is required by applicable law.
(b) From and after the Effective Time, the Holding Company will, and
will cause XxxxXxxx XX and Xxxxxx II, to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable law, to indemnify and hold harmless, each present and former director
and/or officer of TeleCorp and Tritel (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties")
-------------------
against any costs or expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in
settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or
investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the
extent arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission in his capacity as
a director or officer of TeleCorp or Tritel,
27
respectively, for a period of six (6) years after the date hereof. Without
limiting any of the foregoing, in the event of any such claim, action, suit,
proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective
Time), (i) any counsel retained by the Indemnified Parties for any period after
the Effective Time must be reasonably satisfactory to the Holding Company, (ii)
after the Effective Time, the Holding Company will pay, and will cause XxxxXxxx
XX or Xxxxxx II, as the case may be, to pay, the reasonable fees and expenses of
such counsel, promptly after statements therefor are received and (iii) the
Holding Company will, and will cause XxxxXxxx XX or Tritel II, as the case may
be, to cooperate in the defense of any such matter; provided, however, that
-------- -------
neither the Holding Company, XxxxXxxx XX or Xxxxxx II, as the case may be, shall
be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent (which consent
will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and provided, further, that, in
-------- -------
the event that any claim or claims for indemnification are asserted or made
within such six-year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of any
such claim or claims will continue until the disposition of any and all such
claims and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.4 shall impair any
-------- ------- -----------
rights or obligations of any present or former employees, agents, directors or
officers of TeleCorp or Tritel. The Indemnified Parties as a group may retain
only one law firm (in addition to local counsel) to represent them with respect
to any single action unless there is, under applicable standards of professional
conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between the positions of any two or
more Indemnified Parties. In the event that the Holding Company, XxxxXxxx XX,
Xxxxxx II or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with
or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving
corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or
conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person,
then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes
of this Section 2.4, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and
-----------
assigns of XxxxXxxx XX and
28
Tritel II assume the obligations set forth in this Section 2.4 and none of the
-----------
actions described in clause (i) or (ii) shall be taken until such provision is
made.
(c) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, the
Holding Company will, or will cause XxxxXxxx XX and Xxxxxx II to, maintain in
effect, if available, directors' and officers' liability insurance covering
those persons who are currently covered by TeleCorp's and Tritel's directors'
and officers' liability insurance policies on terms at least comparable to those
in effect on the date hereof; provided, that in no event shall the Holding
--------
Company be required to, or be required to cause XxxxXxxx XX or Xxxxxx II to,
maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance with comparable coverage
if the annual premium of such insurance is more than one hundred and twenty-five
percent (125%) of the cost of the most recent annual premium paid by TeleCorp or
Tritel, as applicable, but in such case, the Holding Company shall, and shall
cause, as much coverage as possible for such amount to be purchased.
(d) This Section 2.4 will survive the consummation of the Mergers, is
-----------
intended to benefit the Indemnified Parties, and shall be binding on all
successors and assigns of XxxxXxxx XX, Xxxxxx II and the Holding Company.
2.5 Headquarters of the Holding Company. The headquarters of the
-----------------------------------
Holding Company shall be located in Arlington, Virginia. Following the
Effective Time, the principal corporate offices of XxxxXxxx XX shall be located
in Arlington, Virginia, and the principal corporate offices of Tritel II shall
be located in Jackson, Mississippi.

common stock, par value $0.01 per share, all of which shall be owned by the
Holding Company. Prior to the Effective Time, the Merger Subs shall not
29
(i) conduct any business operations whatsoever or (ii) enter into any contract
or agreement of any kind, acquire any assets or incur any liability, except as
may be specifically contemplated by this Agreement. If this Agreement is
terminated prior to the Effective Time, the Merger Subs shall be promptly
dissolved.

good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned,

3.7 Material Agreements. Neither TeleCorp nor any of its
-------------------
Subsidiaries has breached, or received in writing any claim or threat that it

the annual reports on Form 10-K required to be filed by TeleCorp pursuant to
Item 601 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") (collectively, the "TeleCorp Material Contracts") in such a manner as
--- ---------------------------
would permit any other party to cancel or terminate the same or would permit any
other party to collect material damages from TeleCorp or any of its Subsidiaries
under any TeleCorp Material Contract. Each TeleCorp Material Agreement is in
full force and effect, is a valid and binding obligation of TeleCorp or such
Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of TeleCorp, of each other party thereto, and
is enforceable against TeleCorp or such Subsidiary in accordance with its terms,
and, to the knowledge of TeleCorp, enforceable against each other party thereto,
in each case except that the enforcement thereof may be limited by (i) the
effects of bankruptcy,
38
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar law now or hereafter in
effect relating to creditors' rights generally and (ii) general principles of
equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law), and such TeleCorp Material Agreements will continue to be
valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms and in

contemplated hereby with no material alteration or acceleration or increase in
fees or liabilities. Neither TeleCorp nor any of its Subsidiaries is or is
alleged to be and, to the knowledge of TeleCorp, no other party is or is alleged
to be in default under, or in breach or violation of, any TeleCorp Material
Agreement, and, to the knowledge of TeleCorp, no event has occurred which
(whether with or without notice or lapse of time or both) would constitute such
a default, breach or violation. To the knowledge of TeleCorp, no party to a
TeleCorp Material Contract has terminated or in any way expressed an intent to
materially reduce or terminate the amount of business with TeleCorp and its
Subsidiaries in the future.
3.8 Compliance. Each of TeleCorp and its Subsidiaries is in
----------
compliance in all respects with, and is not in default or violation of, (i) its
Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws or other equivalent organizational

properties are bound or affected or (iii) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture,
contract, permit, franchise or other instruments or obligations to which any of
them are a party or by which any of them or any of their respective assets or
properties are bound or affected, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii),
for any such failures of compliance, defaults and violations which would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a TeleCorp
Material Adverse Effect.
39
3.9 SEC Filings; Financial Statements.
---------------------------------
(a) TeleCorp has timely filed all forms, reports, schedules,
statements and documents required to be filed by it with the SEC since October
13, 1999 (collectively, with the Registration Statement on Form S-1 dated
October 20, 1999, as amended (the "TeleCorp S-1"), the "TeleCorp SEC Reports")
------------ --------------------
pursuant to the Federal securities Laws and the SEC regulations promulgated
thereunder. The TeleCorp SEC Reports were prepared in accordance, and complied
as of their respective filing dates in all material respects, with the
requirements of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder and did not at the time they were filed (or
if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date hereof, then on the date
of such filing) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. None of TeleCorp's Subsidiaries has filed, or is obligated to
file, any forms, reports, schedules, statements or other documents with the SEC.
(b) Each of the audited and unaudited consolidated financial
statements (including, in each case, any related notes and schedules thereto)
contained in the TeleCorp SEC Reports (i) complied in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the published regulations of the SEC with
respect thereto, (ii) were prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") (except, in the case of unaudited statements, to

notes thereto) and (iii) fairly present in all material respects the
consolidated financial position of TeleCorp and its Subsidiaries as at the

state authority asserting over TeleCorp, its Subsidiaries and their respective
properties and assets, that are required for the conduct of their businesses as
currently being conducted (each, as amended to date, the "TeleCorp
--------
Authorizations"), other than such licenses, permits, certificates, franchises,
--------------
ordinances, registrations, or other rights, applications and authorizations the
absence of which would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably
likely to have a TeleCorp Material Adverse Effect or prevent or materially
impair or delay the ability of TeleCorp to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby. TeleCorp has made available to Tritel a true, complete and
correct list of such TeleCorp Authorizations.
(b) TeleCorp has previously made available to Tritel and AT&T a true,
complete and correct list of (i) each application of TeleCorp or any of its
Subsidiaries pending before the FCC (the "TeleCorp FCC Applications"); (ii) each
-------------------------
FCC permit and FCC license which is not a TeleCorp Authorization but in which
TeleCorp or any of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, holds an interest,
including as a stakeholder in the licensee (collectively, the "Indirect TeleCorp
-----------------
Authorizations"); and (iii) all licenses, permits, certificates, franchises,
--------------
ordinances, registrations, or other rights, applications and authorizations for
the benefit of TeleCorp or any of its Subsidiaries , as applicable, pending
before any state authority (collectively, the "TeleCorp State Authorizations").
-----------------------------
The TeleCorp Authorizations, the TeleCorp FCC Applications, the Indirect
TeleCorp Authorizations and the TeleCorp State Authorizations
41
(collectively, the "TeleCorp Licenses and Applications") are the only Federal,
----------------------------------
state or local licenses, permits, certificates, franchises, ordinances,
registrations, or other rights, applications and authorizations that are
required for the conduct of the business and operations of TeleCorp and its
Subsidiaries as currently conducted, other than such licenses, permits,
certificates, franchises, ordinances, registrations, or other rights,
applications and authorizations the absence of which would not, individually or
in the aggregate, be considered reasonably likely to have a TeleCorp Material
Adverse Effect or prevent or materially delay or impair the ability of TeleCorp
to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
(c) The TeleCorp Authorizations and, to the knowledge of TeleCorp,
the Indirect TeleCorp Authorizations, are in full force and effect and, except
as disclosed on Schedule 3.10(c), have not been pledged or otherwise encumbered,
----------------
assigned, suspended or modified in any material respect (except as a result of
FCC rule changes applicable to the PCS industry generally), canceled or revoked,
and TeleCorp and each of its Subsidiaries have each operated in compliance with
all terms thereof or any renewals thereof applicable to them, other than where
the failure to so comply would not, individually or in the aggregate, be
considered reasonably likely to have a TeleCorp Material Adverse Effect or
materially impair the ability of TeleCorp to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby. To the knowledge of TeleCorp, no event has occurred with
respect to any of the TeleCorp Authorizations which permits, or after notice or
lapse of time or both would permit, revocation or termination thereof or would
result in any other material impairment of the rights of the holder of any such
TeleCorp Authorizations. To the knowledge of TeleCorp, there is not pending any
application, petition, objection or other pleading with the FCC, any state
authority or any similar entity having jurisdiction or authority over the
operations of TeleCorp or any of its Subsidiaries which questions the validity
or contests any TeleCorp Authorization or which could reasonably be expected, if
accepted or
42
granted, to result in the revocation, cancellation, suspension or any materially
adverse modification of any TeleCorp Authorization.
(d) Except for the approvals contemplated by Section 3.6, no permit,
-----------
consent, approval, authorization, qualification or registration of, or
declaration to or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required to be made or
obtained by TeleCorp or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transfer
or deemed transfer of the TeleCorp Licenses and Authorizations as a result of
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and such transactions
will not result in a breach of such approvals, except where the failure to
obtain or make such permit, consent, approval, authorization, qualification,
registration, declaration or filing would not be considered reasonably likely to
have a TeleCorp Material Adverse Effect or prevent or materially impair or delay
the ability of TeleCorp to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
3.11 No Violation of Law. The business of TeleCorp and its
-------------------
Subsidiaries is not being conducted in violation of any Laws, except for
possible violations none of which, individually or in the aggregate, would
reasonably be expected to have a TeleCorp Material Adverse Effect. Except as
disclosed in TeleCorp SEC Reports, no investigation, review or proceeding by any
Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, any stock exchange or
other self-regulatory body) with respect to TeleCorp or its Subsidiaries in
relation to any alleged violation of law or regulation is pending or, to
TeleCorp's knowledge, threatened, nor has any Governmental Authority (including,
without limitation, any stock exchange or other self-regulatory body) indicated
an intention to conduct the same, except for such investigations which, if they
resulted in adverse findings, would not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a TeleCorp Material Adverse Effect. Except as
set forth in the TeleCorp SEC Reports, neither TeleCorp nor any of its
Subsidiaries is subject to any cease and desist or other order, judgment,
injunction or decree issued by, or is a party to any written
43
agreement, consent agreement or memorandum of understanding with, or is a party
to any commitment letter or similar undertaking to, or is subject to any order
or directive by, or has adopted any board resolutions at the request of, any
Governmental Authority that materially restricts the conduct of its business or
which would reasonably be expected to have a TeleCorp Material Adverse Effect,
nor has TeleCorp or any of its Subsidiaries been advised that any Governmental
Authority is considering issuing or requesting any of the foregoing. None of the
representations and warranties made in this Section 3.11 are being made with
------------
respect to Environmental Laws.
3.12 Absence of Certain Changes or Events.
------------------------------------
(a) Since September 30, 1999, TeleCorp and its Subsidiaries have
conducted their businesses only in the ordinary course of business consistent
with past practice (the "Ordinary Course of Business") and, since such date,
---------------------------
there has not been any change, event, development, damage or circumstance
affecting TeleCorp or any of its Subsidiaries which, individually or in the
aggregate, has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a TeleCorp Material
Adverse Effect.
(b) Since September 30, 1999, (i) there has not been any material

Ordinary Course of Business, and (ii) there has not been (A) any other action or
event, and neither TeleCorp nor any of its Subsidiaries has agreed in writing or
otherwise to take any other action, that would have required the consent of
Tritel pursuant to Section 6.2(a) had such action or event occurred after the
--------------
date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, or (B) any condition, event or
occurrence which could reasonably be expected to prevent,
44
hinder or materially delay the ability of TeleCorp to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Related Agreements to which
it is a party.
3.13 No Undisclosed Liabilities. TeleCorp and its Subsidiaries do not
--------------------------
have any liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether absolute, accrued,
fixed, contingent or otherwise) which would be required to be reflected in
financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, except liabilities or
obligations which (i) are reflected in the TeleCorp SEC Reports, or (ii) have
been incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business since September 30, 1999.
3.14 Absence of Litigation. There is no Litigation (as defined in
---------------------
Section 10.4) pending or, to the knowledge of TeleCorp, threatened against
------------
TeleCorp or any of its Subsidiaries, or any properties or rights of TeleCorp or
any of its Subsidiaries, before or subject to any Court (as defined in Section
-------
10.4) or Governmental Authority which, individually or in the aggregate, has
----
had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a TeleCorp Material Adverse Effect
or would prevent, or materially hinder or xxxxx XxxxXxxx from consummating the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

summary of the material terms of any of the foregoing agreements if not in
writing, which have ever been sponsored, maintained, contributed to or entered
into for the benefit of, or relating to, any present or former employee,
officer, director or consultant of TeleCorp or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
trade or business (whether or not incorporated) which is a member of a
controlled group or which is under common control with TeleCorp, or any
Subsidiary of TeleCorp, within the meaning of Section 414 of the Code or Section
4001 of ERISA (a "TeleCorp ERISA Affiliate"), whether or not such plan is
------------------------
terminated (together, the "TeleCorp Employee Plans"). In addition, TeleCorp has
-----------------------
made available to Tritel with respect to each TeleCorp Employee Plan true,
complete and correct copies of each of the following, if applicable: the most
recent summary plan description and any subsequent summary of material
modifications, any related trust, insurance policy or other funding vehicle or
contract providing for benefits, and the three most recent Form 5500 series
Annual Report with all schedules filed with the IRS. Subject to the requirements
of ERISA, there are no restrictions on the ability of the sponsor of each
TeleCorp Employee Plan to amend or terminate any TeleCorp Employee Plan and each
TeleCorp Employee Plan may with the Consent of TeleCorp (or applicable
Subsidiary or TeleCorp ERISA Affiliate) be assumed by the Holding Company or the
First Merger Sub, as the case may be.
(b) There has been no "prohibited transaction," as such term is
defined in Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, with respect to
any TeleCorp Employee Plan; there are no claims pending (other than routine
claims for benefits) or threatened against any TeleCorp Employee Plan or against
the assets of any TeleCorp Employee Plan, nor are there any current or
threatened Liens on the assets of any TeleCorp Employee Plan; each TeleCorp
Employee Plan conforms to, and in its operation and administration is in all
material respects in compliance with the terms thereof and the requirements
prescribed by any and all statutes
46
(including ERISA and the Code), orders, or governmental rules and regulations
currently in effect with respect thereto (including, without limitation, all
applicable requirements for notification, reporting and disclosure to
participants or the Department of Labor, the IRS or Secretary of the Treasury),
and TeleCorp, each of its Subsidiaries and TeleCorp ERISA Affiliates have
performed all obligations required to be performed by them under, are not in
default under or violation of, and have no knowledge of any default or in
violation by any other party with respect to, any TeleCorp Employee Plan; each
TeleCorp Employee Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code and
each corresponding trust intended to be exempt under Section 501 of the Code has
received or is the subject of a favorable determination or opinion letter from
the IRS (a true and complete copy of which has been provided by TeleCorp to
Tritel) and nothing has occurred which may be expected to cause the loss of such
qualification or exemption; all contributions (including premiums for any
insurance policy under which benefits for any TeleCorp Employee Plan are
provided) required to be made to any TeleCorp Employee Plan pursuant to Section
412 of the Code, or any contract, or the terms of the TeleCorp Employee Plan or
any collective bargaining agreement, or otherwise have been made on or before
their due dates and a reasonable amount has been accrued for contributions to
each TeleCorp Employee Plan for its current plan year; the transaction
contemplated herein will not directly or indirectly result in an increase of
benefits, acceleration of vesting or acceleration of timing for payment of any
benefit to any participant or beneficiary under any TeleCorp Employee Plan; each
TeleCorp Employee Plan, if any, which is maintained outside of the United States
has been operated in all material respects in conformance with the applicable
statutes or governmental regulations and rulings relating to such plans in the
jurisdictions in which such TeleCorp Employee Plan is present or operates and,
to the extent relevant, the United States; no TeleCorp Employee Plan is an
"employee pension benefit plan" (within the meaning of Section
47
3(2) of ERISA) subject to Title IV of ERISA (a "Defined Benefit Plan"), or a
--------------------
Multiemployer Plan (as such term is defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA), or a
"single-employer plan which has two or more contributing sponsors at least two
of whom are not under common control" as described in Section 4063 of ERISA, and
none of TeleCorp, any of its Subsidiaries or any TeleCorp ERISA Affiliate has
ever maintained or sponsored, participated in, or made or been obligated to make
contributions to such a Defined Benefit Plan or such a Multiemployer Plan or
such a single employer plan as described in Section 4063 of ERISA.
(c) Each TeleCorp Employee Plan that is a "group health plan" (within
the meaning of Code Section 5000(b)(1)) has been operated in compliance in all
material respects with all laws applicable to such plan, its terms, and with the
group health plan continuation coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the
Code and Sections 601 through 608 of ERISA ("COBRA Coverage"), Section 4980D of
--------------
the Code and Sections 701 through 707 of ERISA, Title XXII of the Public Health
Service Act, the provisions of the Social Security Act, and the provisions of
any similar law of any state providing for continuation coverage, in each case
to the extent such requirements are applicable. No TeleCorp Employee Plan or
written or oral agreement exists which obligates TeleCorp, any of its
Subsidiaries or any TeleCorp ERISA Affiliate to provide health care coverage,
medical, surgical, hospitalization, death, life insurance or similar benefits
(whether or not insured) to any current or former employee, officer, director or
consultant of TeleCorp, any of its Subsidiaries or any TeleCorp ERISA Affiliate
or to any other person following such current or former employee's, officer's,
director's or consultant's termination of employment with TeleCorp, any of its
Subsidiaries or any TeleCorp ERISA Affiliate, other than COBRA Coverage.
48
(d) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement will not constitute a "prohibited transaction" under ERISA or the Code
for which an exemption is unavailable.
3.16 Employment and Labor Matters. There are no controversies pending
----------------------------
or threatened, between TeleCorp or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their
respective employees which could reasonably be expected to have a TeleCorp
Material Adverse Effect; neither TeleCorp nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party
to any collective bargaining agreement or other labor union contract applicable
to persons employed by TeleCorp or its Subsidiaries nor to TeleCorp's knowledge
are there any activities or proceedings of any labor union to organize any such
employees of TeleCorp or any of its Subsidiaries. Since January 1, 1999, there
have been no strikes, slowdowns, work stoppages, lockouts, or threats thereof,
by or with respect to any employees of TeleCorp or any of its Subsidiaries.
TeleCorp does not have nor at the Closing will TeleCorp have any obligation
under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the "WARN Act") as
--------
a result of any acts of TeleCorp taken in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a
TeleCorp Material Adverse Effect, each of TeleCorp and its Subsidiaries is in
compliance with all applicable Federal, state, local, and foreign employment,
wage and hour, labor non-discrimination and other applicable laws or
regulations, except where failure to comply with such laws would not be
reasonably expected to have a TeleCorp Material Adverse Effect.
3.17 Registration Statement; Proxy Statement/Prospectus. None of the
--------------------------------------------------
information supplied by TeleCorp in writing for inclusion in the registration
statement on Form S-4, or any amendment or supplement thereto, pursuant to which
the shares of the Holding Company Capital Stock to be issued in the Mergers will
be registered with the SEC (including any amendments or supplements, the
"Registration Statement") shall, at the time such document
----------------------
49
is filed, at the time amended or supplemented, at the time the Registration
Statement is declared effective by the SEC and at the Effective Time, 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 the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. None of the information supplied by TeleCorp for inclusion in the
joint proxy statement/prospectus to be sent to the stockholders of TeleCorp and
Tritel in connection with the respective special meetings of the stockholders of
TeleCorp (the "TeleCorp Stockholders' Meeting"), and Tritel (the "Tritel
------------------------------ ------
Stockholders' Meeting") in connection with the Mergers (such proxy
---------------------
statement/prospectus, as amended or supplemented, is referred to herein as the
"Joint Proxy Statement") will, on the date the Joint Proxy Statement is first
---------------------
mailed to the stockholders of TeleCorp and Tritel, at the time of the TeleCorp
Stockholders' Meeting and the Tritel Stockholders' Meeting and at the Effective
Time, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If at any time
prior to the Effective Time any event relating to TeleCorp or any of its
Affiliates (as defined in Section 10.4), officers or directors should be
------------
discovered by TeleCorp which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement
to the Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the Joint Proxy
Statement, TeleCorp shall promptly inform the Holding Company, AT&T and Tritel.
The Joint Proxy Statement (other then information relating solely to Tritel)
shall comply in all material respects as to form and substance with the
requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TeleCorp makes no representation or
warranty with respect to any information supplied by Tritel or AT&T which is
contained in the Registration Statement or Joint Proxy Statement.
50
3.18 Absence of Restrictions on Business Activities. There is no
----------------------------------------------
TeleCorp Material Agreement binding upon TeleCorp or any of its Subsidiaries or
any of their respective properties which has had or could reasonably be expected
to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any business practice
of TeleCorp or any of its Subsidiaries or the conduct of business by TeleCorp or
any of its Subsidiaries as currently conducted.
3.19 Title to Assets; Leases. Each of TeleCorp and its Subsidiaries
-----------------------
has good title to all of their owned properties and assets, free and clear of
all Liens, charges and encumbrances, except Liens for Taxes (as defined in
Section 3.20) not yet due and payable and such Liens or other imperfections of
------------
title, if any, as do not materially detract from the value of or interfere with
the present use of the property affected thereby (collectively, the "Permitted
---------
Encumbrances"). All leases pursuant to which TeleCorp or any of its
------------
Subsidiaries lease real or personal property from others are valid and effective
in accordance with their respective terms, and there is not, under any such
lease, any existing material default or event of default (or event which with
notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a material default) and in
respect of which TeleCorp or such Subsidiary has not taken adequate steps to
prevent such a default from occurring where such default would reasonably be
expected to have a TeleCorp Material Adverse Effect.

member have been timely filed, and all such Tax Returns are true, complete and

30, 1999 audited balance sheet (the "Most Recent TeleCorp Balance Sheet"),
----------------------------------
except to the extent that such amount would not, individually or in the

owing by or with respect to TeleCorp and each of its Subsidiaries with respect
to completed and settled examinations or concluded litigation have been paid.
(d) Neither TeleCorp nor any of its Subsidiaries has requested, or
been granted any waiver of any Federal, state, local or foreign statute of
limitations with respect to, or any extension of a period for the assessment of,

allocation or sharing agreement or is liable for the Taxes of any other party,
as transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise.

event, condition, circumstance, activity, practice, incident, action or plan
which is reasonably likely to interfere with or prevent continued compliance
with the terms of such permits, licenses and authorizations or which would give
rise to any common law or statutory liability, or otherwise form the basis of
any claim, action, suit or proceeding, based on or resulting from TeleCorp's or
any of its Subsidiaries' (or any of their respective agent's) manufacture,
processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport, or
handling, or the emission, discharge, or release into the environment, of any

computer software programs or applications and tangible or intangible
proprietary information or material that are necessary to conduct the business

(the "TeleCorp Intellectual Property Rights").
-------------------------------------
(b) Neither TeleCorp nor any of its Subsidiaries is, or will as a
result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the performance of
TeleCorp's obligations under this Agreement or otherwise be, in breach of any

the business of TeleCorp and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are valid and

takeover statute or similar Law and no provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-laws, or other organizational document or governing
instruments of TeleCorp or any of its Subsidiaries or any TeleCorp Material

restrictions which might adversely affect or delay the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the TeleCorp Voting Agreement, the
Investor Stockholder Agreement or the Stockholders Agreement or (b) as a result
of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the

otherwise exercise the rights of a stockholder with respect to securities of

taken or agreed to take any action, failed to take any action or is aware of any
fact or circumstance that is reasonably likely to prevent the Mergers and the

(y) prevent or materially impair or delay the consummation of the transactions

waiting period imposed by, or make any filing with or notification to, any
Governmental Authority domestic or foreign, except for (i) compliance with
applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act, Blue

4.7 Material Agreements. Neither Tritel nor any of its Subsidiaries

required to be included as an exhibit to the annual reports on Form 10-K
required to be filed by Tritel pursuant to Item 601 of Regulation S-K
promulgated by the SEC (collectively, the "Tritel Material Contracts") in such a
-------------------------
manner as would permit any other party to cancel or terminate the same or would
permit any other party to collect material damages from Tritel or any of its
Subsidiaries under any Tritel Material Contract. Each Tritel Material Agreement
is in full force and effect, is a valid and binding obligation of Tritel or such
Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of Tritel, of each other party thereto and is
enforceable against Tritel or such Subsidiary in accordance with its terms, and,
to the knowledge of Tritel, enforceable against each other party thereto, in
each case except that the enforcement thereof may be limited by (i) the effects
of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar law now
or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights generally and (ii) general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law), and such Tritel Material Agreements will
continue to be valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms and in full force and effect immediately following the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby with no material alteration
or acceleration or increase in fees or liabilities. Neither Tritel nor any of
its Subsidiaries is or is alleged to be and, to the knowledge of Tritel, no
other party is or is alleged to be in default under, or in breach or violation
of, any Tritel Material Agreement, and, to the knowledge of Tritel, no event has
occurred which (whether with or without notice or lapse of time or both) would
constitute such a default, breach or violation. To the knowledge of Tritel, no
party to a Tritel Material Contract has terminated or in any way expressed an
intent to materially reduce or terminate the amount of business with Tritel and
its Subsidiaries in the future.
66

contract, permit, franchise or other instruments or obligations to which any of
them are a party or by which any of them or any of their respective assets or
properties are bound or affected, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii),
for any such failures of compliance, defaults and violations which would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Tritel
Material Adverse Effect.
4.9 SEC Filings; Financial Statements.
---------------------------------
(a) Tritel has timely filed all forms, reports, schedules, statements
and documents required to be filed with the SEC since November 17, 1999

as amended (the "Tritel S-1"), the "Tritel SEC Reports") pursuant to the Federal
---------- ------------------
securities Laws and the SEC regulations promulgated thereunder. The Tritel SEC
Reports were prepared in accordance, and complied as of their respective filing
dates in all material respects, with the requirements of the Exchange Act and
the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and did
not at the time they were filed (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior
to the date hereof, then on the date of such filing) contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. None of Tritel's
Subsidiaries has filed, or is obligated to file, any forms, reports, schedules,
statements or other documents with the SEC.
67
(b) Each of the audited and unaudited consolidated financial
statements (including, in each case, any related notes and schedules thereto)
contained in the Tritel SEC Reports (i) complied in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the published regulations of the SEC with
respect thereto, (ii) were prepared in accordance with GAAP (except, in the case
of unaudited statements, to the extent otherwise permitted by Form 10-Q) applied
on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be
expressly described in the notes thereto) and (iii) fairly present in all
material respects the consolidated financial position of Tritel and its
Subsidiaries as at the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of
its operations and cash flows for the periods indicated, subject in the case of
interim financial statements to normal year-end adjustments.
4.10 Licenses and Authorizations.
---------------------------
(a) Tritel and its Subsidiaries hold all licenses, permits,
certificates, franchises, ordinances, registrations, or other rights,
applications and authorizations required to be filed with or granted or issued
by any Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, the FCC or any
state authority asserting over Tritel, its Subsidiaries and their respective
properties and assets, that are required for the conduct of their businesses as
currently being conducted (each, as amended to date, the "Tritel
------
Authorizations"), other than such licenses, permits, certificates, franchises,
--------------
ordinances, registrations, or other rights, applications and authorizations the
absence of which would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably
likely to have a Tritel Material Adverse Effect or prevent or materially impair
or delay the ability of Tritel to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby. Tritel has made available to TeleCorp a true, complete and correct list
of such Tritel Authorizations.
(b) Tritel has previously made available to TeleCorp and AT&T a true,
complete and correct list of (i) each application of Tritel or any of its
Subsidiaries pending before
68
the FCC (the "Tritel FCC Applications"); (ii) each FCC permit and FCC license
-----------------------
which is not a Tritel Authorization but in which Tritel or any of its
Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, holds an interest, including as a
stakeholder in the licensee (collectively, the "Indirect Tritel
---------------
Authorizations"); and (iii) all licenses, permits, certificates, franchises,
--------------
ordinances, registrations, or other rights, applications and authorizations for
the benefit of Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, pending before
any state authority (collectively, the "Tritel State Authorizations"). The
---------------------------
Tritel Authorizations, the Tritel FCC Applications, the Indirect Tritel
Authorizations and the Tritel State Authorizations (collectively, the "Tritel
------
Licenses and Applications") are the only Federal, state or local licenses,
-------------------------
permits, certificates, franchises, ordinances, registrations, or other rights,
applications and authorizations that are required for the conduct of the
business and operations of Tritel and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted,
other than such licenses, permits, certificates, franchises, ordinances,
registrations, or other rights, applications and authorizations the absence of
which would not, individually or in the aggregate, be considered reasonably
likely to have a Tritel Material Adverse Effect or prevent or materially delay
or impair the ability of Tritel to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby.
(c) The Tritel Authorizations and, to the knowledge of Tritel, the
Indirect Tritel Authorizations, are in full force and effect and, except as
disclosed on Schedule 4.10(c) have not been pledged or otherwise encumbered,
----------------
assigned or suspended, modified in any material respect (except as a result of
FCC rule changes applicable to the PCS industry generally), canceled or revoked,
and Tritel and each of its Subsidiaries have each operated in compliance with
all terms thereof or any renewals thereof applicable to them, other than where
the failure to so comply would not, individually or in the aggregate, be
considered reasonably likely to have a Tritel Material Adverse Effect or
materially impair the ability of Tritel to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby. To the knowledge of Tritel, no event has
69
occurred with respect to any of the Tritel Authorizations which permits, or
after notice or lapse of time or both would permit, revocation or termination
thereof or would result in any other material impairment of the rights of the
holder of any such Tritel Authorizations. To the knowledge of Tritel, there is
not pending any application, petition, objection or other pleading with the FCC,
any state authority or any similar entity having jurisdiction or authority over
the operations of Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries which questions the validity
or contests any Tritel Authorization or which could reasonably be expected, if
accepted or granted, to result in the revocation, cancellation, suspension or
any materially adverse modification of any Tritel Authorization.
(d) Except for the approvals contemplated by Section 4.6, no permit,
-----------
consent, approval, authorization, qualification or registration of, or
declaration to or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required to be made or
obtained by Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transfer or
deemed transfer of the Tritel Licenses and Authorizations as a result of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and such transactions will
not result in a breach of such approvals, except where the failure to obtain or
make such permit, consent, approval, authorization, qualification, registration,
declaration or filing would not be considered reasonably likely to have a Tritel
Material Adverse Effect or prevent or materially impair or delay the ability of
Tritel to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
4.11 No Violation of Law. The business of Tritel and its Subsidiaries
-------------------
is not being conducted in violation of any Laws, except for possible violations
none of which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to
have a Tritel Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in Tritel SEC
Reports, no investigation, review or proceeding by any Governmental Authority
(including, without limitation, any stock exchange or other self-regulatory
body) with respect to Tritel or its Subsidiaries in relation to any alleged
violation of
70
law or regulation is pending or, to Tritel's knowledge, threatened, nor has any
Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, any stock exchange or
other self-regulatory body) indicated an intention to conduct the same, except
for such investigations which, if they resulted in adverse findings, would not
reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Tritel
Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the Tritel SEC Reports, neither
Tritel nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any cease and desist or other
order, judgment, injunction or decree issued by, or is a party to any written
agreement, consent agreement or memorandum of understanding with, or is a party
to any commitment letter or similar undertaking to, or is subject to any order
or directive by, or has adopted any board resolutions at the request of, any
Governmental Authority that materially restricts the conduct of its business or
which would reasonably be expected to have a Tritel Material Adverse Effect, nor
has Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries been advised that any Governmental
Authority is considering issuing or requesting any of the foregoing. None of the
representations and warranties made in this Section 4.11 are being made with
------------
respect to Environmental Laws.

conducted their businesses only in the Ordinary Course of Business and, since

in the aggregate, has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Tritel
Material Adverse Effect.

71
event, and neither Tritel nor any of its Subsidiaries has agreed in writing or
otherwise to take any other action, that would have required the consent of
TeleCorp pursuant to Section 6.2(b) had such action or event occurred after the
--------------
date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, or (B) any condition, event or
occurrence which could reasonably be expected to prevent, hinder or materially
delay the ability of Tritel to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or the Related Agreements to which it is a party.

obligations which (i) are reflected in the Tritel SEC Reports, or (ii) have been
incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business since September 30, 1999.
4.14 Absence of Litigation. There is no Litigation pending or, to the
---------------------
knowledge of Tritel, threatened against Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries, or
any properties or rights of Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries, before or subject
to any Court or Governmental Authority which, individually or in the aggregate,
has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Tritel Material Adverse
Effect or would prevent, or materially hinder or delay Tritel from consummating
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Liens on the assets of any Tritel Employee Plan; each Tritel Employee Plan
73
conforms to, and in its operation and administration is in all material respects
in compliance with the terms thereof and the requirements prescribed by any and

limitation, all applicable requirements for notification, reporting and
disclosure to participants or the Department of Labor, the IRS or Secretary of
the Treasury and, in the case of any "rabbi trust", the requirements of Revenue

Tritel ERISA Affiliates have performed all obligations required to be performed
by them under, are not in default under or in violation of, and have no
knowledge of any default or violation by any other party with respect to, any
Tritel Employee Plan; each Tritel Employee Plan intended to qualify under
Section 401(a) of the Code and each corresponding trust intended to be exempt
under Section 501 of the Code has received or is the subject of a favorable
determination or opinion letter from the IRS (a true and complete copy which has
been provided by Tritel to TeleCorp), and nothing has occurred which could
reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such qualification or exemption; all
contributions (including premiums for any insurance policy under which benefits
for any Tritel Employee Plan are provided) required to be made to any Tritel
Employee Plan pursuant to Section 412 of the Code, or any contract, or the terms
of the Tritel Employee Plan or any collective bargaining agreement, or otherwise
have been made on or before their due dates and a reasonable amount has been
accrued for contributions to each Tritel Employee Plan for its current plan
year; the transaction contemplated herein will not directly or indirectly result
in an increase of benefits, acceleration of vesting or acceleration of timing
for payment of any benefit to any participant or beneficiary under any Tritel
Employee Plan; each Tritel Employee Plan, if any, which is maintained outside of
the United States has been operated in all material respects in conformance with
the applicable statutes or governmental regulations and rulings relating to such
plans in the
74
jurisdictions in which such Tritel Employee Plan is present or operates and, to
the extent relevant, the United States; no Tritel Employee Plan is a Defined
Benefit Plan, or a Multiemployer Plan (as such term is defined in Section 3(37)
of ERISA), or a "single-employer plan which has two or more contributing
sponsors at least two of whom are not under common control" as described in
Section 4063 of ERISA, and none of Tritel, any of its Subsidiaries or any Tritel
ERISA Affiliate has ever maintained or sponsored, participated in, or made or
been obligated to make contributions to such a Defined Benefit Plan or such a
Multiemployer Plan or such a single employer plan as described in Section 4063
of ERISA.
(c) Each Tritel Employee Plan that is a "group health plan" (within
the meaning of Code Section 5000(b)(1)) has been operated in compliance in all
material respects with all laws applicable to such plan, its terms, and with
COBRA Coverage, Section 4980D of the Code and Sections 701 through 707 of ERISA,
Title XXII of the Public Health Service Act, the provisions of the Social
Security Act, and the provisions of any similar law of any state providing for
continuation coverage, in each case to the extent such requirements are
applicable. No Tritel Employee Plan or written or oral agreement exists which
obligates Tritel, any of its Subsidiaries or any Tritel ERISA Affiliate to
provide health care coverage, medical, surgical, hospitalization, death, life
insurance or similar benefits (whether or not insured) to any current or former
employee, officer, director or consultant of Tritel, any of its Subsidiaries or
any Tritel ERISA Affiliate or to any other person following such current or
former employee's, officer's, director's or consultant's termination of
employment with Tritel, any of its Subsidiaries or any Tritel ERISA Affiliate,
other than COBRA Coverage.
(d) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement will not constitute a "prohibited transaction" under ERISA or the Code
for which an exemption is unavailable.

4.16 Employment and Labor Matters. There are no controversies
----------------------------
pending or threatened, between Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries and any of
their respective employees which could reasonably be expected to have a Tritel
Material Adverse Effect; neither Tritel nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party
to any collective bargaining agreement or other labor union contract applicable
to persons employed by Tritel or its Subsidiaries nor to Tritel's knowledge are
there any activities or proceedings of any labor union to organize any such
employees of Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries. Since January 1, 1999, there
have been no strikes, slowdowns, work stoppages, lockouts, or threats thereof,
by or with respect to any employees of Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries. Tritel
does not have nor at the Closing will Tritel have any obligation under the WARN
Act as a result of any act of Tritel taken in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a
Tritel Material Adverse Effect, each of Tritel and its Subsidiaries is in
compliance with all applicable Federal, state, local, and foreign employment,
wage and hour, labor non-discrimination and other applicable laws or regulation
except where failure to comply with such laws would not be reasonably expected
to have a Tritel Material Adverse Effect.
4.17 Registration Statement; Proxy Statement/Prospectus. None of
--------------------------------------------------
the information supplied by Tritel in writing for inclusion in the Registration
Statement shall, at the time such document is filed, at the time amended or
supplemented, at the time the Registration Statement is declared effective by
the SEC and at the Effective Time, 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 the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. None of the information supplied by
Tritel for inclusion in the Joint Proxy Statement in connection with the
TeleCorp Stockholders' Meeting and the Tritel Stockholders' Meeting will, on the
date the Joint Proxy Statement is first mailed to the
76
stockholders of Tritel and TeleCorp, at the time of the Tritel Stockholders'
Meeting and the TeleCorp Stockholders' Meeting and at the Effective Time,
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If at any time prior
to the Effective Time any event relating to Tritel or any of its Affiliates,
officers or directors should be discovered by Tritel which should be set forth
in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or an amendment or
supplement to the Joint Proxy Statement, Tritel shall promptly inform the
Holding Company, AT&T and TeleCorp. The Joint Proxy Statement shall comply in
all material respects as to form and substance with the requirements of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tritel makes no representation or warranty with
respect to any information supplied by TeleCorp or AT&T which is contained in
the Registration Statement or Joint Proxy Statement.
4.18 Absence of Restrictions on Business Activities. There is no
----------------------------------------------
Tritel Material Agreement binding upon Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries or any
of their respective properties which has had or could reasonably be expected to
have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any business practice of
Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries or the conduct of business by Tritel or any of
its Subsidiaries as currently conducted.
4.19 Title to Assets; Leases. Each of Tritel and its Subsidiaries
-----------------------
has good title to all of their owned properties and assets, free and clear of
all Liens, charges and encumbrances, except for Permitted Encumbrances. All
leases pursuant to which Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries lease real or
personal property from others are valid and effective in accordance with their
respective terms, and there is not, under any such lease, any existing material
default or event of default (or event which with notice or lapse of time, or
both, would constitute a
77
material default) and in respect of which Tritel or such Subsidiary has not
taken adequate steps to prevent such a default from occurring where such default
would reasonably be expected to have a Tritel Material Adverse Effect.
4.20 Taxes.
-----
(a) All Federal, state, local and foreign Tax Returns required to be
filed (taking into account extensions) by or on behalf of Tritel, each of its
Subsidiaries, and each affiliated, combined, consolidated or unitary group for
tax purposes of which Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries is or has been a member
have been timely filed, and all such Tax Returns are true, complete and correct,
except to the extent that any failure to file or any inaccuracies in filed Tax
Returns would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to
have a Tritel Material Adverse Effect.
(b) All Taxes due and payable by or with respect to Tritel and each
of its Subsidiaries have been timely paid, or are adequately reserved for (other

between book and Tax treatment) in accordance with GAAP on Tritel's September
30, 1999 audited balance sheet (the "Most Recent Tritel Balance Sheet"), except
--------------------------------
to the extent that such amount would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Tritel Material Adverse Effect. No
deficiencies, delinquencies or defaults for any Taxes have been proposed,
asserted or assessed either orally or in writing or become a Lien for taxes
against Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries that are not adequately reserved for
in accordance with GAAP on the Most Recent Tritel Balance Sheet nor are there
any outstanding Tax audits or inquiries. All assessments for Taxes due and owing
by or with respect to Tritel and each of its Subsidiaries with respect to
completed and settled examinations or concluded litigation have been paid.
78
(c) Neither Tritel nor any of its Subsidiaries has requested, or been
granted any waiver of any Federal, state, local or foreign statute of
limitations with respect to, or any extension of a period for the assessment of,
any Tax. No extension or waiver of time within which to file any Tax Return of,
or applicable to, Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries has been granted or
requested which has not since expired. None of the Federal income Tax Returns of
Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries consolidated in such returns either have been
examined and settled with the IRS or have been closed by virtue of the
applicable statute of limitations.
(d) Other than with respect to its Subsidiaries, Tritel is not and
has never been (nor does Tritel have any liability for unpaid Taxes because it
once was) a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group,
and neither Tritel nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any Tax allocation
or sharing agreement or is liable for the Taxes of any other party, as
transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise.
(e) Tritel and its Subsidiaries have not made any payments, are not
obligated to make any payments, and are not a party to any agreements that under
any circumstances could obligate any of them to make any payments that will not
be deductible under Section 280G of the Code or would constitute compensation in
excess of the limitation set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code.
(f) Tritel has not been a United States real property holding
corporation within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code during the
applicable period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code.

respects with all applicable Laws relating to the payment and withholding of
Taxes (including, without limitation, withholding of Taxes pursuant to Sections

and have, within the time and in the manner required
79
by Law, been withheld from employee wages and paid over to the proper
Governmental Authorities all amounts required to be so withheld and paid over
under all applicable Laws.
(h) Neither Tritel nor any Subsidiary has executed or entered into
any closing agreement under Section 7121 of the Code (or any similar provision
of state, local or foreign law) or has agreed to make any adjustment to its
income or deductions pursuant to Section 481(a) of the Code (or similar
provision of state, local or foreign law), in either case that could affect the
Tax liability after the Closing Date to any material extent.
(i) None of Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to
include in a taxable period ending after the Effective Time a material amount of
a taxable income attributable to income that accrued in a prior taxable period
but was not recognized in any prior taxable period as a result of the
installment method of accounting, the completed contract method of accounting,
the long-term contract method of accounting, the cash method of accounting or
Section 481 of the Code or comparable provisions of state, local or foreign tax
law.
4.21 Environmental Matters. Except for such instances, if any, which
---------------------
would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Tritel Material Adverse Effect, (i) Tritel and each of its Subsidiaries have
obtained all applicable permits, licenses and other authorizations which are
required under applicable Environmental Laws; (ii) Tritel and each of its
Subsidiaries are in full compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and

regulation, code, plan, order, decree, judgment, notice or demand letter issued,
entered, promulgated or approved thereunder; and (iii) as of the date hereof,
there has not been any event, condition, circumstance, activity, practice,
incident, action or plan which is reasonably
80
likely to interfere with or prevent continued compliance with the terms of such
permits, licenses and authorizations or which would give rise to any common law
or statutory liability, or otherwise form the basis of any claim, action, suit
or proceeding, based on or resulting from Tritel's or any of its Subsidiaries'
(or any of their respective agent's) manufacture, processing, distribution, use,
treatment, storage, disposal, transport, or handling, or the emission,
discharge, or release into the environment, of any Hazardous Material; and (iv)
Tritel and each of its Subsidiaries has taken all actions necessary under
applicable requirements of federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations to

criminal or administrative action, suit, demand, claim, hearing, notice of
violation, investigation, proceeding, notice or demand letter pending or, to the
knowledge of Tritel, threatened against Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries
relating in any way to the Environmental Laws or any Regulation, code, plan,
Order, decree, judgment, notice or demand letter issued, entered, promulgated or
approved thereunder.
4.22 Intellectual Property.
---------------------
(a) Tritel and its Subsidiaries own, or are licensed or
otherwise possess legally enforceable rights to use, all patents, trademarks,
trade names, service marks, copyrights and mask works, any applications for and

copyrights and mask works, and all processes, formulae, methods, schematics,
technology, know-how, computer software programs or applications and tangible or
intangible proprietary information or material that are necessary to conduct the
business of Tritel its Subsidiaries as currently conducted, the absence of which
would be considered reasonably likely to have a Tritel Material Adverse Effect
(the "Tritel Intellectual Property Rights").
------------------------------------
81
(b) Neither Tritel nor any of its Subsidiaries is, or will as a
result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the performance of
Tritel's obligations under this Agreement or otherwise be, in breach of any

trademarks or copyrights, including software ("Tritel Third Party Intellectual

copyrights which are held by Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries, and which are
material to the business of Tritel and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are

proceeding which involves a claim of infringement of any patents, trademarks,
service marks, copyrights or violation of any trade secret or other proprietary
right of any third party; and (ii) has no knowledge that the marketing,
licensing or sale of its services infringes any patent, trademark, service xxxx,
copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right of any third party, which
infringement would reasonably be expected to have a Tritel Material Adverse
Effect.
4.23 No Restrictions on the Merger; Takeover Statutes. No
------------------------------------------------
applicable takeover statute or similar Law and no provision of the Certificate
of Incorporation or By-laws, or other organizational document or governing
instruments of Tritel or any of its Subsidiaries or any Tritel Material
Agreement to which any of them is a party (a) would or would purport to impose
restrictions which might adversely affect or delay the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Tritel Voting Agreement, the
Investor Stockholder
82
Agreement or the Stockholders Agreement or (b) as a result of the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Tritel Voting Agreement

the ability of the Holding Company to vote or otherwise exercise the rights of a
stockholder with respect to securities of Tritel, any of its Subsidiaries or
Tritel II or (ii) would or would purport to entitle any Person to acquire
securities of Tritel or Tritel II.
4.24 Tax Matters. Neither Tritel nor any of its Affiliates has
-----------
taken or agreed to take any action, failed to take any action or is aware of any
fact or circumstance that is reasonably likely to prevent the Mergers or the

the TeleCorp Stockholders' Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the

part of AT&T and no other corporate proceedings on the part of AT&T are
necessary to authorize the Waiver. The Waiver constitutes a legal, valid and
binding obligation of AT&T in accordance with its terms.
5.7 Investment Experience. AT&T is an "accredited investor" as
---------------------
defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. AT&T has reviewed the TeleCorp
SEC Reports, the Tritel SEC Reports and this Agreement and all exhibits and
schedules hereto, and has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive
answers from representatives of TeleCorp and Tritel. AT&T is aware of
TeleCorp's and Tritel's business affairs and financial condition and has had
access to and has acquired sufficient information about the Holding Company to
reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. AT&T has
such business and financial experience as is required to give it the capacity to
evaluate the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares and to protect its
own interests in connection with the purchase of the Shares. AT&T is able to
bear the economic risk of holding the Shares to be purchased by it for an
indefinite period, including the loss of AT&T's entire investment. The Shares
were not offered or sold to AT&T by any form of general solicitation or
advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act.
5.8 Investment Intent. AT&T (or its Affiliate) is purchasing the
-----------------
Shares for its own account as principal, for investment purposes only, and not
with a view to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof, in
whole or in part, within the meaning of the Securities Act, in any manner that
would violate the Securities Act. AT&T understands that the acquisition of the
Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or
qualified under any state securities laws in reliance on specific exemptions
therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide
nature of AT&T's investment intent as expressed herein.
87
5.9 Registration or Exemption Requirements. AT&T acknowledges that
--------------------------------------
the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act. AT&T further
acknowledges and understands that the Shares may not be resold or otherwise
transferred except in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act. AT&T understands that the certificate(s) evidencing the Shares will be
imprinted with a legend that prohibits the transfer of such Shares unless: (i)
they are registered under the Securities Act or such registration is not
required, or (ii) (A) the transfer is pursuant to an exemption from
registration, and (B) if the Holding Company shall so request in writing, an
opinion satisfactory to the Holding Company of AT&T's counsel is obtained to the
effect that the transaction does not require registration under the Securities
Act, will not be in violation of the Securities Act and is in compliance with
any applicable federal and state laws.

the vote or consent of stockholders required by the DGCL and its Certificate of

obligation to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the TeleCorp

proxies in favor of the Second Merger and shall take all other action necessary
or advisable to secure the vote or consent of stockholders required by the DGCL
and its Certificate of Incorporation to authorize this Agreement and the Second

the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with
Article VIII, neither TeleCorp nor Tritel shall, nor shall they permit any of
------------
their Subsidiaries to, nor shall they authorize or permit any of their
respective officers, directors or employees to, and shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to cause any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney,
accountant, or other representatives retained by them or any of their respective
Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, through any other Person, (i)
solicit, initiate or encourage (including by way of
104
furnishing information) any proposals that constitute, or could reasonably be
expected to result in, a proposal or offer for an Acquisition Proposal, or (ii)
engage in negotiations or discussions concerning, or provide any non-public
information regarding TeleCorp or Tritel, as applicable, to any person or entity
relating to, any Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) agree to, approve or recommend
to its stockholders any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that nothing
-------- -------
contained in this Agreement shall prevent TeleCorp or its Board of Directors or
Tritel or its Board of Directors, as the case may be, from (A) furnishing non-
public information to, or entering into discussions with, any person or entity
in connection with an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal by such
person or entity (including a new and unsolicited Acquisition Proposal received
by TeleCorp or Tritel after the execution of this Agreement from a person or
entity whose initial contact with TeleCorp or Tritel may have been solicited by
TeleCorp or Tritel, respectively, prior to the execution of this Agreement) if
and only to the extent that (1) the Board of Directors of TeleCorp or the Board
of Directors of Tritel, as the case may be, believes in good faith (after
consultation with its financial advisors) that such Acquisition Proposal would,
if consummated, result in a transaction more favorable to TeleCorp stockholders
or Tritel stockholders, respectively, from a financial point of view than the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any such more favorable Acquisition
Proposal being referred to in this Agreement as a "Superior Proposal") and the
-----------------
Board of Directors of TeleCorp or the Board of Directors of Tritel determines in
good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel that such action
could be reasonably deemed necessary for the Board of Directors of TeleCorp or
the Board of Directors of Tritel, as the case may be, to comply with its
fiduciary duties to its stockholders under applicable law and (2) prior to
furnishing such non-public information to, or entering into discussions or
negotiations with, such Person or entity, such Board of Directors receives from
such Person or entity an executed non-disclosure
105
agreement with terms no less favorable to such party than those contained in the
Confidentiality Agreement, (B) complying with Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a)
promulgated under the Exchange Act, with regard to an Acquisition Proposal or
(C) making any disclosure to its stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of
the Board of Directors of such party, after receipt of advice from outside
counsel, failure to disclose would result in a reasonable likelihood that such
Board of Directors would breach its duties to such party's stockholders under
applicable law. Each of TeleCorp and Tritel shall promptly notify the other
party and AT&T orally and in writing of any request for information or of any
proposal in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and
conditions of such request or proposal and the identity of the person making
such request or proposal. Each of TeleCorp and Tritel will keep the other party
and AT&T reasonably informed of the status (including amendments or proposed
amendments) of such request or proposal on a current basis. Each of TeleCorp and
Tritel shall immediately cease and terminate any existing solicitation,
initiation, encouragement activity, discussion or negotiation with any persons
conducted heretofore by them or their representatives with respect to the
foregoing.
(b) Each of TeleCorp and Tritel (i) agrees not to release any Third
Party (as defined below) from, or waive any provision of, or fail to enforce,
any standstill agreement or similar agreement to which it is a party related to,
or which could affect, an Acquisition Proposal and (ii) acknowledges that the
provisions of clause (i) are an important and integral part of this Agreement.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, "Acquisition Proposal" means a
--------------------
proposal or intended proposal, regarding any of (i) a transaction or series of
transactions pursuant to which any Person (or group of Persons) other than any
party hereto ("Party") and its Subsidiaries (a "Third Party") acquires or would
----- -----------
acquire, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act) of more than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding
106
shares of TeleCorp or Tritel, as the case may be, whether from TeleCorp or
Tritel, as the case may be, or pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer or
otherwise, (ii) any acquisition or proposed acquisition of, or business
combination with TeleCorp or Tritel, as applicable, by a merger or other
business combination (including any so-called "merger-of-equals" and whether or
not TeleCorp or Tritel, as the case may be, is the entity surviving any such
merger or business combination), or (iii) any other transaction pursuant to
which any Third Party acquires or would acquire, directly or indirectly, control
of assets (including for this purpose the outstanding equity securities of
Subsidiaries of TeleCorp or Tritel, as the case may be, and any entity surviving
the merger or business combination including any of them) of TeleCorp or Tritel,
as the case may be, for consideration equal to twenty percent (20%) or more of
the fair market value of all of the outstanding shares of TeleCorp or twenty
percent (20%) or more of the fair market value of all of the outstanding shares
of Tritel, as the case may be, on the date of this Agreement.
6.6 Subsequent Financial Statements. Prior to the Effective Time,

Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Current Report on Form 8-K required
to be filed by such Party under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder and will promptly deliver to the other copies of each
such report filed with the SEC. As of their respective dates, none of such
reports shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The respective audited financial statements and unaudited interim
financial statements of each of TeleCorp or Tritel, as the case may be, included
in such reports will fairly present the financial position of such Party and its
Subsidiaries as at the dates thereof and the results of their operations and
cash flows for the periods then ended in accordance with GAAP applied on a
consistent basis and, subject, in the
107
case of unaudited interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments
and any other adjustments described therein.
