WHEREAS, Sales Agent Agreement Section 10(d) prohibits the
assignment of such agreement without AirTouch's prior written consent;
WHEREAS, the parties wish to set forth the terms and conditions on
which AirTouch is willing to consent to the assignment; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is intended to govern the relationship of
each of Assignor and Assignee to AirTouch with respect to the Sales Agent
Agreement, but the relationship between Assignor and Assignee is or may be the
subject of additional arrangements between them with respect to commissions,
charge backs and other matters;
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, the

available to the Corporation upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which
is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
1. Term. For the period commencing on the date hereof and ending
on the date 30 months after the date thereof (the "Term"), the Consultant shall
provide advisory services to the Corporation as provided in Section 2.
2. Services.
(a) Subject to the restrictions set forth in paragraph
(b) below, during the Term the Consultant shall provide to the Corporation on a
non-exclusive basis advisory services relating to budgeting, developing
projections, administrative issues, financial reporting and other projects as
reasonably requested by the Corporation. The Consultant may provide its services
hereunder from its own place of business during the Consultant's normal business
hours according to a schedule reasonably acceptable to the Consultant and by way
of, among other means, telephone consultation or written correspondence and
otherwise in the manner reasonably acceptable to the Consultant. The Corporation
shall provide the Consultant with reasonable notice of any services requested.
The Consultant's services shall include obtaining on behalf of the Corporation
those certain estoppel letters set forth in the Escrow Agreement (as hereinafter
defined). With respect to each such estoppel letter that the Consultant delivers
to the Corporation, the Corporation shall promptly pay to the consultant an
amount equal to the deposit held by the landlord with respect to the lease
referred to in such estoppel letter. The Consultant shall not be obligated to
devote more than hours in any month to the provision of services hereunder
(b) The Consultant agrees that agrees that for the period
commencing on the date hereof (the "Closing Date") and ending on the third
anniversary of the Closing Date, it will not serve as or be a consultant to or
owner of more than three percent (3%) of another corporation, partnership or
other entity which competes with the Corporation within a 75 mile radius of the
City of Atlanta in the Corporation's Business. The term "Corporation's Business"
55
shall mean the business of selling cellular or wireless communications services
or products. The Consultant further agrees that for the period commencing on the
Closing Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date, it (i)
will not (x) solicit for employment, (y) endeavor in any way to entice away from
employment with the Corporation or its affiliates or (z) employ any employee of
the Corporation or any of its affiliates who is an officer, a manager of any
department, salesperson or any sub-agent, sub-contractor or other independent
contractor, including, without limitation, any resellers of cellular or wireless
communications services and (ii) will not solicit any person, corporation,
partnership or other entity that is a customer of the Corporation for the
purpose of selling cellular or wireless communications services or products.
(c) The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that a breach
or violation by the Consultant of any or all of the covenants and agreements
contained in paragraph (b) above may cause irreparable harm and damage to the
Corporation in a monetary amount which may be virtually impossible to ascertain.
As a result, the Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation shall
be entitled to an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction without
having to post a bond and restraining any breach or violation of any or all of
the covenants and agreements contained in paragraph (b) above by the Consultant,
either directly or indirectly, and that such right to injunction shall be
cumulative and in addition to whatever other rights or remedies that the
Corporation may possess hereunder, at law or in equity. Nothing contained in
this Section 2 shall be construed to prevent the Corporation from seeking and
recovering from the Consultant damages sustained by it as a result of any breach
or violation by it of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this
Section 2.
3. Fees. In consideration of its agreement to act as a Consultant
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation hereby agrees to pay

escrow agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

expenses incurred by it in connection with any services it provides to the

to or concerned with the operations, business and affairs of either the

parties hereto in connection with the performance by the Consultant of its
duties hereunder (including the existence of this Agreement) shall be the
property of the Corporation and be treated as confidential information and shall
be held in a fiduciary capacity by the parties hereunder. The Consultant shall
not disclose or divulge such information to any firm, person, corporation or
other entity other than in connection with the performance of its duties
hereunder.
6. Independent Contractor. In performing the services provided
for hereunder, the Consultant is acting as an independent contractor, and the
Consultant's employees at all times during the term of this Agreement shall be
in the employment of and under the supervision and responsibility of the
Consultant, and no person employed by the Consultant either directly or

sole discretion, take either of the following actions:

Each of the Company, the Shareholders and the Purchaser jointly and
severally agree to indemnify and hold you harmless from and against the full
amount of any and all claims, costs, damages, judgments, fees, expenses,
obligations, taxes, assessments, liabilities, actions, suits, or charges,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, made against you or incurred

hereby or your holding of the Escrow Funds or your filing of any interpleader
action and against any loss you may sustain in carrying out the terms of this
Escrow Agreement, other than as a result of your gross negligence or willful

consent of the Escrow Agent. No third party shall be deemed a beneficiary of

FOR CELLULAR RADIOTELEPHONE SERVICE
THIS SALES AGENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into
this 17 day of October, 1993, by and between PACTEL CELLULAR INC. OF GEORGIA
("PacTel"), a Nevada corporation with its principal place of business at 0000
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, and NORTH POINT
CELLULAR, INC. d/b/a PEACHTREE MOBILITY ("Agent"), a Georgia corporation with
its principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx
00000 ("Agent's Office").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, PacTel provides cellular radiotelephone service ("CRS") in
certain portions of the Atlanta, Georgia and surrounding area (the "CRS Coverage
Area"); and
WHEREAS, Agent desires to act as PacTel's agent to solicit orders for
PacTel's CRS in the CRS Coverage Area, to sell, lease, rent and otherwise
provide equipment to use PacTel's CRS ("CRS Equipment"); and
WHEREAS, Agent represents and warrants that it is capable of meeting the
performance standards set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto and by this
reference made a part hereof (the "Performance Standards"); and
WHEREAS, Agent represents and warrants that it is capable of meeting the
portable installation standards (the "Portable Standards") set forth on Schedule
2(a) attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof; and
WHEREAS, unless and until Agent is capable of meeting the vehicle
installation and service standards set forth on Schedule 2(b) attached hereto
and incorporated herein by reference (the "Installation Standards"), Agent
represents and warrants that it will handle all vehicle installation requests in
the manner set forth in Section 2(b)(i); and
WHEREAS, the parties believe it to be in their mutual best interests to
enter into the arrangement established in this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION of the premises, the mutual
covenants and promises herein contained, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto, each intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:
1. APPOINTMENT OF AGENT AS INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.
(a) Appointment, Acceptance. Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, PacTel hereby appoints Agent as an independent
contractor of PacTel, on a non-exclusive basis, solely to exercise Agent's
reasonable best efforts to: (i) solicit CRS customers for PacTel's CRS
(collectively, "CRS Customers" and individually, a "CRS Customer") in accordance
with Section 2(a) hereof; (ii) sell, lease or rent CRS Equipment to CRS
Customers in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof; (iii) provide portable
installation ("Portable Installation") for the CRS Customers pursuant to
Schedule 2(a) attached hereto; (iv)
118
handle all vehicle installation requests in the manner set forth in the manner
in Section 2(b),(i) unless and until Agent is capable of meeting the
Installation Standards set forth in Schedule 2(b) attached hereto; (v) resolve
for those CRS Customers solicited by Agent pursuant to this Agreement ("Agent's
Solicitees") any problems regarding CRS Equipment that may arise during the term
of this Agreement; and (vi) coordinate with PacTel's customer service personnel
to resolve for Agent's Solicitees any problems regarding PacTel's CRS or billing
that may arise during the term of this Agreement, and Agent hereby accepts such
appointment. Agent's responsibilities under this Section 1(a) are sometimes
hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Services".
(b) Relationship of Parties. Notwithstanding the use of the business
title "Agent" in this Agreement and elsewhere, this Agreement constitutes Agent
as an independent contractor only and not as PacTel's general agent. Neither
this Agreement nor any performance hereunder does or will constitute Agent or
any of its "Subagents" (as defined in Exhibit C attached hereto or
"Sub-Subagents" (as defined in Exhibit C attached hereto) or any of their
respective employees, representatives or agents (collectively, "Agent's
Affiliates"), as an employee, partner, joint venturer or legal representative of
PacTel.
2. AGENT'S AUTHORITY.
(a) CRS Customers. Agent may contact and solicit CRS Customers from
among all classes of potential users of CRS, except PacTel's present CRS
Customers, only upon the same customer prices, terms and considerations as
PacTel makes CRS available to CRS Customers directly solicited by PacTel. Agent
acknowledges that all of Agent's Solicitees will be customers of PacTel, and not
Agent, with respect to all CRS and with respect to all CRS Equipment purchased
or leased from PacTel.
(b) CRS Equipment. Agent may sell, lease or rent CRS Equipment
obtained from any source available to Agent, subject to the following
conditions, which Agent acknowledges are necessary in order to protect the
reputation and goodwill of PacTel's CRS and the value of the "Marks" (as defined
in Section 7(a) hereof), and breach of which will entitle PacTel to terminate
this Agreement without notice to Agent or Agent's opportunity to cure:
(i) Unless and until Agent is capable of meeting the
Installation Standards set forth on Schedule 2(b) attached hereto, Agent
will either (A) refer all vehicle installation and service requests to
PacTel or (B) on receipt of written approval from PacTel regarding the
use of a third party installation and service provider (an "Approved
Installer") refer all such vehicle installation and service requests to
such Approved Installer;
(ii) Agent will sell, lease, rent or otherwise provide only CRS
Equipment that (A) meets the compatibility specifications for CRS
Equipment established by the Electronic Industries Association (and such
other similar or additional specifications as PacTel may establish from
time to time) in effect on the date of sale, lease or rental, and (B) has
received an appropriate type acceptance certificate from the Federal
Communications Commission ("FCC");
(iii) Except as otherwise provided herein or as PacTel and Agent
may otherwise agree in writing, Agent will provide all needs relating to
all CRS
-2-
119
Equipment sold, leased, rented or otherwise provided by Agent, at Agent's
office or such additional locations as PacTel may approve in writing in
accordance with the Portable Standards;
(iv) PacTel may determine, in its sole discretion, whether or
not any CRS Equipment is fully compatible with the CRS provided by
PacTel, and Agent will not sell, lease, rent or otherwise provide any
item of CRS Equipment to any CRS Customer after any determination by
PacTel of such item's incompatibility; and
(v) PacTel may refuse CRS to any customer utilizing CRS
Equipment not meeting PacTel's quality or other requirements for CRS
Equipment, all without recourse against PacTel.
(c) Express Limitations on Authority. The scope of Agent's authority
pursuant to this Agreement is specifically limited to the minimum authority
necessary for Agent to perform the specific duties of Agent set forth herein.
Agent is not granted and Agent will not represent that it has been granted any
right or authority to bind PacTel by contract or otherwise or to make any
representation or warranty or to assume or create any obligation or
responsibility, express or implied, for or on behalf of or in the name of
PacTel, to incur debts for PacTel or to bind PacTel in any manner whatsoever.
Agent has no authority other than that expressly granted in Sections 2(a) and
2(b) hereof, and Agent covenants not to engage in any unauthorized activity,
including, without limitation: (i) varying any term or condition appearing on
any PacTel form, agreement or customer service contract, either orally or in
writing; (ii) except in connection with the sale, lease or rental of CRS
Equipment by Agent on its own behalf (rather than on PacTel's behalf) as
provided for in Section 2(b) hereof, charging CRS Customers any fees or expenses
(including, without limitation, any charges triggered by the Customer's
termination of CRS prior to expiration of the applicable service contract) not
specifically required or authorized by PacTel in writing; (iii) making any
representations or warranties concerning PacTel's CRS other than those made in
writing by PacTel, or any representations or warranties concerning CRS Equipment
other than those made in writing by the manufacturer of such equipment; or (iv)
accepting any orders for CRS on behalf of PacTel, or binding or purporting to
bind PacTel in any manner concerning CRS or otherwise.
(d) Credit Approval Service. If Agent complies with all of PacTel's
requirements, PacTel will make available to Agent either (i) any internal credit
approval services, or (ii) certain expedited credit approval services in
accordance with a credit service agreement in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A and by the reference made a part hereof (a "Credit Service
Agreement"), as same may be amended from time to time. Every Credit Service
Agreement executed pursuant to this Agreement is incorporated herein by
reference, regardless of its time of execution and regardless of whether an
executed copy thereof is attached hereto.
3. AGENT'S RESPONSIBILITIES.
(a) Compliance with Standards. Agent will meet and comply with the
Performance Standards, the Portable Standards and, if applicable, the
Installation Standards at all time during the term of this Agreement, and will
ensure that all of Agent's Affiliates meet and comply therewith.

120
(b) Subagents and Employees. Agent will allow only its formal,
salaried employees who are acting within the scope of their employment and who
have executed an employment agreement with Agent in a form approved by PacTel,
including at least the minimum provisions attached hereto as Exhibit B and by
this reference made a part hereof (an "Employment Agreement"), to perform any of
Agent's obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Agent may, however, following
approval by PacTel, appoint one or more independent contractors (individually, a
"Subagent" and collectively, the "Subagents") for the limited purpose of
soliciting CRS Customers, by, in each case: (i) providing written notice to
PacTel of Agent's intent to appoint such Subagent, which notice must include
such information regarding the proposed Subagent as PacTel may deem pertinent;
(ii) following receipt of approval of such prospective Subagent by PacTel, which
approval may be withheld by PacTel in its sole discretion, entering into a
subagent agreement with such Subagent in a form approved by PacTel, including at
least the minimum provisions attached hereto as Exhibit C and by this reference
made a part hereof (a "Subagent Agreement"), and such additional instruments and
agreements as PacTel may dictate; and (iii) requiring the Subagent to require
each of its employees to execute an Employment Agreement and such additional
instruments and agreements as PacTel may dictate. As to issues other than those
addressed in Exhibits B and C hereto, Agent is free to reach any agreement Agent
desires with employees and Subagents as long as such Employment Agreements and
Subagent Agreements do not require or authorize actions contrary to any of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. Agent will provide to PacTel a copy of
every executed Subagent Agreement and Employment Agreement, along with a copy of
every "Sub-Subagent Agreement" (as defined on Exhibit C hereto) and Employment
Agreement executed pursuant to each Subagent Agreement, prior to permitting any
Subagent, Sub-Subagent, or employee to engage in any activities governed by this
Agreement. Agent shall promptly pursue and enforce all remedies available
against any of its employees, Subagents or Sub-Subagents in the case of a
breach or default by same under any Employment Agreement, Subagent Agreement or
Sub-Subagent Agreement executed pursuant to this Section 3(b), including,
without limitation, termination of the subject agreement.
(c) Exclusive Dealing. During the term of this Agreement, Agent will
not, directly or indirectly: (i) market, sell, offer or otherwise provide CRS in
competition with that provided by PacTel; (ii) refer potential or actual CRS
Customers to any person or entity providing or selling CRS other than PacTel (a
"Competitor"); (iii) in any manner assist or render services to any Competitor;
or (iv) serve as a reseller of PacTel's CRS or as an agent for a reseller of
PacTel's CRS.
(d) Non-Competition. During the term of this Agreement and for a
period of one (1) year after expiration or any termination hereof, neither
Agent, nor any parent, subsidiary, affiliate or entity owned or controlled by
any individual or entity that owns or controls Agent, will directly or
indirectly provide, market, sell, lease, rent or otherwise offer CRS or CRS
Equipment within the CRS Coverage Area.
(e) Non-Solicitation. During the term of this Agreement and for a
period of two (2) years after expiration or any termination hereof, Agent will
not, either directly or indirectly, request any present or future customers of
PacTel whose identity became known to Agent as a result of Agent's dealings for
or on behalf of PacTel or pursuant to this Agreement, to curtail or cancel their
business or CRS with PacTel within the CRS Coverage Area, or to switch their CRS
within the CRS Coverage Area to a Competitor.
-4-
121
(f) Investigations. Agent will cooperate with PacTel in all instances
in which PacTel suspects that Agent or any of Agent's Affiliates have engaged in
fraudulent practices in connection with CRS or CRS Equipment, including, without
limitation, conducting such investigations as PacTel may deem advisable and
making written reports to PacTel of the results of such investigations.
(g) Notice of Proceedings. Agent will notify PacTel in writing within
five (5) days of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, or of the
issuance of any order, writ, injunction, award or decree of any court, agency or
other government instrumentality, involving Agent or its business or if any such
action, suit or proceeding could create potential liability of the Agent in
excess of Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00).
(h) Costs and Expenses. Agent is solely responsible and liable for all
expenses, costs, liabilities, undertakings, assessments, taxes, insurance and
other obligations incurred by Agent or any of Agent's Affiliates at any time and
for any reason as a result of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
withholding taxes, social security taxes, unemployment taxes, and workers'
compensation insurance premiums.
(i) Agent's Affiliates. Agent will be fully responsible and liable for
all actions or omissions of any Agent's Affiliates.
4. PACTEL'S RESPONSIBILITIES.
(a) Availability of CRS. During the term of this Agreement, PacTel
will make PacTel's CRS available to Agent's Solicitees under the same customer
prices, terms and considerations as PacTel makes its CRS available to CRS
Customers directly solicited by PacTel.
(b) Acceptance of Agent's Solicitees. Subject to PacTel's sole
discretion to reject or terminate any potential or existing CRS Customer or to
require a deposit in accordance with Section 5(a) hereof, PacTel will accept
Agent's Solicitees as CRS Customers. PacTel will have no obligation to provide
CRS to any of Agent's Solicitees unless and until PacTel has accepted a customer
service contract therefrom in writing.
PACTEL WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO AGENT OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY
FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY OF ANY KIND CAUSED BY OR RESULTING FROM
PACTEL'S REJECTION OR TERMINATION OF ANY CUSTOMER SERVICE CONTRACT FOR

CRS Equipment by Agent on its own behalf as provided for in Section 2(b) hereof,

(d) Commissions. If: (i) PacTel accepts any of Agent's Solicitees as a
new CRS Customer (a "New Customer") pursuant to PacTel's then-applicable
standard form customer service contract signed by the New Customer and forwarded
to PacTel by Agent within one (1) month of the activation of a CRS phone number
for such New Customer, accompanied by proof satisfactory to PacTel that the New
Customer is entitled to any discounted rate for CRS for which Agent has enrolled
the New Customer; and (ii) the New Customer pays all applicable charges; and
(iii) the New Customer actively uses PacTel's CRS for at least *** after
activation thereof (subject, however, to Section 5(d) hereof); and (iv) the New
Customer was not a CRS Customer of PacTel within six (6) months prior to
PacTel's acceptance of the customer service contract signed by such New
Customer, then as the sole compensation from PacTel to Agent for the Services
and only after PacTel has received from Agent a complete, accurate and fully
executed standard form customer service contract for such New Customer, PacTel
will pay Agent a commission (collectively, the "Commissions" and individually a
"Commission") determined in accordance with and pursuant to Schedule 3 attached
hereto and by this reference made a part hereof (as same may be amended from
time to time in accordance with Section 5(e) hereof). PacTel may, however, in
its sole discretion, determine not to pay any Commission generated by any person
or entity who PacTel determines has engaged in "Fraud" (as defined in paragraph
1(e) of Schedule 5 hereto). The payment of any Commission is subject to any of
PacTel's right of chargeback and setoff granted in Section 5(d) hereof, or at
law or in equity.
(e) Residuals. In addition to the Commission, PacTel will pay Agent
residual payments (collectively, "Residuals" and individually a "Residual") for
each New Customer who remains an active user of PacTel's CRS. Such Residuals
shall be payable from time to time during the term of this Agreement for as long
as Agent continues to provide the Services, based upon each New Customer's use
of PacTel's CRS and calculated pursuant to Schedule 4 attached hereto and by
this reference made a part hereof (as same may be amended from time to time in
accordance with Section 5(e) hereof). The payment of any Residual is subject any
of PacTel's rights of chargeback and setoff granted in Section 5(d) hereof, or
at law or in equity.
5. PACTEL'S RIGHTS. PacTel expressly reserves all rights to itself
not specifically and exclusively granted to Agent in this Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the previous sentence, PacTel expressly reserves,
without limitation, all of the following rights:
(a) Acceptance and Termination of CRS Customers: Deposits. PacTel may
accept, reject or terminate any CRS order or prospective or current CRS Customer
or may require any prospective or current CRS Customer to post a deposit with
PacTel, in PacTel's sole discretion, for any reason, all without recourse
against PacTel. Notwithstanding any purported agreement between Agent and the
CRS Customer to the contrary, PacTel will not be obligated to return any deposit
to Agent although PacTel may, in its sole discretion, return such deposit
directly to the CRS Customer on behalf of whom the deposit was paid.
(b) Non-Exclusivity. PacTel may appoint other agents, distributors or
representatives of any kind for the sale of CRS or the sale, rental or leasing
of CRS Equipment, and not necessarily under the same terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement. Agent understands and acknowledges that Agent is not
PacTel's exclusive agent and that PacTel itself and other entities with whom
PacTel contracts will be directly
-6-
123
competing with Agent in the business covered under this Agreement and for the
sale of CRS and the sale, rental and leasing of CRS Equipment in the CRS
Coverage Area.
(c) Direct Sales. PacTel may sell CRS, sell, rent or lease CRS
Equipment, and provide installation and maintenance of CRS Equipment to any
prospective or existing CRS Customers, directly or indirectly through its
employees, parent corporations, subsidiaries and affiliates and by such other
means as PacTel may desire.
(d) Chargeback. PacTel may charge back and set off against any
Commissions, Residuals and any other sums due to Agent from PacTel, any or all
of those liabilities of Agent to PacTel set forth on Schedule 5 attached hereto
and by this reference made a part hereof (as same may be amended from time to
time pursuant to Section 5(e) hereof). If PacTel charges back or sets off
against any Commissions, Residuals or other sum pursuant to this Section
5(d),then each New Customer with respect to whom such chargeback or setoff is
made will not be considered to be a New Customer procured by Agent for purposes
of calculating Commissions, Residuals or otherwise.
(e) Amendment of Commission, Residual and Chargeback Schedules. PacTel
may amend any or all of the terms or provisions of any or all of Schedules 3, 4,
and 5 hereto from time to time, in any manner and in PacTel's sole discretion;
provided, however, that PacTel may not amend any such Schedule more often than
once in a six (6)-month period; and further provided that PacTel will give
thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Agent before any such amendment will
take effect.
(f) Review of Agent's Performance. PacTel may, but is not obligated
to, require Agent to meet with PacTel on a quarterly basis in order to review
Agent's performance under this Agreement. No failure by PacTel to (i) conduct
any such review; (ii) address any breach or default of any provision of this
Agreement in any such review; or (iii) otherwise use any such review to enforce
any of the provisions of this Agreement, will in any way be construed to be a
waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor will any such failure in any way
affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof, or the right of PacTel
thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement.
(g) Provision of CRS Equipment to Agent. PacTel may, but is not
obligated to, provide CRS Equipment to Agent, on terms established by PacTel in
its sole discretion, for Agent to sell, rent or lease on its behalf to CRS
Customers, subject at all times to the following conditions:
(i) PacTel may, in its sole discretion, determine the types of
and prices for CRS Equipment made available for sale, rent or lease to
Agent or CRS Customers (but not the prices at which Agent may, on its own
behalf, make such CRS Equipment available for sale);
(ii) Agent will not be required to purchase or lease any CRS
Equipment from PacTel;
(iii) Agent will either (A) pay to PacTel all applicable sales,
use or similar taxes which PacTel determines should be collected as a
result of any CRS Equipment sales by PacTel to Agent or by Agent on
behalf of PacTel, or (B) provide PacTel with evidence, satisfactory to
PacTel in its sole discretion, that such sales are exempt from taxation;
-7-
124
(iv) Agent hereby grants to PacTel a first priority purchase
money security interest in and to each item of CRS Equipment sold by
PacTel to Agent, and all proceeds, products and accessions thereto,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired or wherever located, until PacTel
has been paid in full for such item of CRS Equipment, and Agent will
execute any Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements or similar
instruments PacTel may deem necessary to perfect the foregoing security
interest; and
(v) Agent will promptly pay PacTel, in accordance with PacTel's
billing and payment procedures in effect from time to time, the full
amount due for all CRS Equipment obtained from PacTel.
(h) Major Accounts. PacTel may, in its sole discretion and upon
written notice to Agent, reserve for itself exclusive rights to market, sell,
offer or otherwise solicit potential entities designated by PacTel as "Major
Accounts." Upon PacTel's designation of an entity as a Major Account, Agent will
refrain from soliciting the Major Account and from soliciting or accepting
potential CRS Customers who work for such Major Account.
6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
(a) Agent's Representations and Warranties. Agent hereby represents
and warrants to PacTel that:
(i) PacTel has not made, and Agent has not received or relied
upon, any representations, guaranties or warranties, express or implied,

receive or earn as a result of this Agreement or its agency relationship
with PacTel; and
(ii) Agent has all necessary power and authority to enter into
this Agreement and perform Agent's duties and obligations pursuant hereto
in accordance with the provisions hereof; and

MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL
WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO PACTEL'S CRS OR ANY CRS EQUIPMENT. IN

benefit of PacTel and its affiliated companies; (viii) Agent's covenants and
agreements contained in this Section 7 are special, unique and of an
extraordinary character; (ix) any disclosure or use of the Proprietary Property,
except as otherwise authorized by PacTel in writing, or any other violation of
the provisions of this Section 7, would be wrongful and cause immediate,
significant, continuing and irreparable injury and damage to PacTel that is not
fully compensable by monetary damages; and (x) should Agent breach or threaten
to breach any provision of this Section 7, PacTel will be entitled to obtain
immediate relief and remedies in a court of competent jurisdiction (including
but not limited to damages, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief to
require Agent to honor its obligations under this Agreement, and an accounting
for all profits and benefits arising out of Agent's breach), cumulative of and
in addition to any other rights or remedies to which PacTel may be entitled by
this Agreement, at law or in equity.
(c) Treatment of Proprietary Property. During the term of this
Agreement and thereafter as provided herein, and for all purposes, Agent will
regard and treat the Proprietary Property, as strictly confidential and trade
secret, wholly owned by PacTel. Agent will exercise its best efforts to ensure
the continued confidentiality and ownership by PacTel of all Proprietary
Property known by or disclosed or made available to Agent or Agent's Affiliates,
whether in connection with this Agreement or any other past or present
relationship with PacTel. Agent will cooperate with any additional
confidentiality and other similar requirements PacTel may establish from time to
time for the protection of the Proprietary Property. Agent will not, during the
term of this Agreement or thereafter, claim any interest in or attack the title
or any rights of PacTel in or to any or all of the Propriety Property or take
any action that would adversely affect PacTel's rights therein, or remove, alter
or obfuscate or permit the removal, alteration of obfuscation of any product
identification, proprietary restriction, copyright, trademark, service xxxx or
trade secret notice or label on any Proprietary Property or other property owned
by or licensed to PacTel. Agent will immediately notify PacTel of any
unauthorized disclosure or use of any Proprietary Property of which Agent
becomes aware; provided, however, that PacTel will have the sole right to
determine what, if any, action should or will be taken on account of any such
disclosure. Agent will assist PacTel, to the extent necessary, in the
procurement of or any protection of PacTel's rights to or in any of the
Proprietary Property, and PacTel will reimburse Agent for all pre-approved costs
incurred in connection therewith.
(d) Use of Marks. Agent will use the Marks only with such notices of
proprietary rights, ownership or registration and such words qualifying or
identifying the relationship of PacTel and Agent as PacTel may from time to time
prescribe. Agent will
-10-
127
not use any of the Marks, or any material portion thereof, as a part of Agent's
corporate or trade name or with any prefix, suffix or other modifying words,
terms, designs or symbols, or in any modified form, nor will agent use the Marks
in connection with the sale or leasing of any unauthorized product or service or
in any manner not expressly authorized by this Agreement or separately in
writing by PacTel. If PacTel notifies Agent to modify or discontinue the use of
any or all of the Marks, Agent will do so as soon as possible after such notice,
at Agent's sole cost and expense. Agent will immediately discontinue any use of
the Marks upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement.
(e) Confidentiality. At all times during the term of this Agreement
and: (i) with respect to any Confidential Information, for two (2) years after
any expiration or termination hereof; and (ii) with respect to each item of
Trade Secrets, for such time as such item shall constitute a trade secret under
applicable law, Agent and Agent's Affiliates will maintain the Confidential
Information and Trade Secrets in strict confidence, and neither Agent nor any of
Agent's Affiliates will, for any reason in any fashion, form or manner, either
directly or indirectly: (A) sell, lend, lease, distribute, market, license,
sublicense, give, transfer, assign, show, divulge, disclose, disseminate or
otherwise communicate any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets to any third
party; or (B) use of any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets for any
purpose other than providing the Services for PacTel pursuant to this Agreement;
or (C) keep any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets in any form after
expiration or any termination of this Agreement or the expiration or any
termination of such Agent's Affiliates' association with Agent; or (D)
duplicate, reproduce, copy, distribute, disclose or disseminate any Confidential
Information or Trade Secrets.

Work Product will be deemed to be "work made for hire" (as defined in the
Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C.A. Section 101 et seq., as amended), owned exclusively
by PacTel. No Work Product will be or will be deemed to be "joint work" (as

transfers and assigns to PacTel all embodiments of and all worldwide right,
title and interest Agent may have or obtain in or to any and all Work Product,

deem necessary or appropriate to vest complete possession, title and ownership
of all or any portion of the Work Product, and all rights therein, exclusively
in PacTel (including, without limitation, the sole and exclusive rights to use,
license, market, sell, distribute, copy, modify, enhance, create derivative

Agreement, the provisions of Sections 1(b), 3(d), 3(e), 5(d), 5(g)(iii),
5(g)(iv), 5(g)(v), 6(b), 7, 8(b), 9(c), 9(d), and 10 hereof will survive, as

to inspect the books, accounts and such other records of Agent that reflect,
deal with or are related to the Agent's performance of the Services hereunder,

such records for not less than two (2) years following performance of the
subject Services.
(b) Regulatory Matters. This Agreement is subject to any changes or
modifications that may be required or suggested by the FCC or any applicable
federal, state or other agency or court with jurisdiction over PacTel, CRS or
CRS Equipment.
-13-
130
(c) Interpretation. The interpretation, validity and effect of this
Agreement will be governed by the laws of the state of Georgia. The captions
preceding the text of this Agreement are for convenience and reference only, and
will not constitute a part of this Agreement, nor will they affect its meaning.
Should a provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, it is
agreed that the judicial body interpreting or construing the Agreement shall not
apply the assumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed
against one party by reason of the rule of construction that an instrument is to
be construed more strictly against the party which itself or through its agents
prepared the agreement, it being agreed that all parties and/or their agents
have participated in the preparation hereof.
(d) Assignment. This is a personal appointment of Agent and Agent may
not transfer or assign this Agreement, Agent's interest herein or any duties,
obligations, rights or privileges of Agent pursuant hereto, in any manner,
including acquisition of Agent, without the prior written approval of PacTel,
and any attempted transfer or assignment without such consent will be null and
void. If the ownership, controlling interest or management of Agent changes at
any time during the term of this Agreement, whether by sale, transfer, merger or
operation of law, then PacTel may immediately terminate this Agreement without
notice or opportunity to cure. This Agreement will be binding upon the parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. PacTel may fully
assign this Agreement to any person or entity, and this Agreement will inure to
the benefit of any assignee or other legal successor to the interests of PacTel
herein.
(e) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement,
understanding and representations, express or implied, between PacTel and Agent
with respect to the subject matter hereof, including all oral or written
proposals. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a written
instrument signed by Agent and a duly authorized representative of PacTel.
Neither party will be obligated by or have any liability under any agreements or
representations made by the other party that are not expressly authorized in
this Agreement or agreed to in writing by both parties.
(f) Severability. The unenforceability or invalidity of any term,
provision or Section of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of the remaining terms, provisions, or Sections hereof, but such
remaining terms, provisions or Sections shall be construed and interpreted in
such a manner as to carry out fully the intent of the parties hereto; provided,
however, that should any judicial body interpreting this Agreement deem any
provision hereof to be unreasonably broad in time, territory, scope or
otherwise, it is the intent and desire of the parties hereto that such judicial
body, to the greatest extent possible, reduce the breadth of such provision to
the maximum legally allowable parameters rather than deeming such provision
totally unenforceable or invalid.
(g) No Waiver. The failure of any party to enforce any of the
provisions of this Agreement at any time will in no way be construed to be a
waiver of such provision, nor in any way affect the validity of this Agreement
or any part hereof, or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and
every provision of this Agreement.
(h) Notices. All notices and legal process delivered or deliverable
pursuant to this Agreement will be in writing and deemed delivered: (i) upon
personal or telecopy (with receipt confirmed) delivery; (ii) one (1) day after
being sent by reliable overnight delivery; or (iii) three (3) days after being
sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt

Schedule 3
Commission Schedule
1. Subject to all applicable chargebacks, setoffs and other
provisions of the Agreement, for each period throughout the term of the
Agreement starting (i) on the eleventh (11th) day of each calendar month and
ending on the twenty-fifth (25th) day of the same calendar month; and (ii) on
the twenty-sixth (26th) day of each calendar month and ending on the tenth
(10th) day of the next calendar month (each of such periods being hereinafter
referred to as a "Determination Period"), upon receipt by PacTel of an accurate,
complete and fully executed standard form customer service contract for CRS for
a New Customer, PacTel will calculate and pay to Agent a one-time Commission for
each New Customer solicited by Agent and accepted by PacTel in accordance with
this Schedule 3. Commissions payable for the Determination Period set forth in
(i) above will be paid by PacTel on the second (2nd) Monday of the month
immediately following such Determination Period. Commissions payable for the
Determination Period set forth in (ii) above will be paid by PacTel on the
fourth (4th) Monday of the month in which such Determination Period ends. PacTel
may change the payment periods from time to time in PacTel's sole discretion
upon notice to Agent; provided, however, that PacTel shall pay Agent the
Commissions no less than once per month.
2. Except as set forth in Section 2(c) hereof and except for any
"Discount Commission" (as defined in Section 3 of this Schedule 3),
"Commissions" are determined by the following formula (the "Formula"):
ARPU, multiplied by .65, which result is reduced by $20.00, which result is
multiplied by the multiplier set forth opposite the applicable Churn number on
the table set forth on Schedule 3(a) which result is the "Customer Incremental
Gross Margin." The "Commission" is the dollar amount set forth opposite the
applicable Customer Incremental Gross Margin on the table set forth on
Schedule 3(a). A sample of the application of the Formula is set forth on
Schedule 3(a).
(a) Definitions
"ARPU" means the average monthly xxxxxxxx by PacTel for the
"Recent CRS Customers" (as such term is hereafter defined) during the
"Measuring Period" (as such term is hereafter defined). ARPU includes
xxxxxxxx generated by access, air time, features, discounts, and other
charges and credits, but excludes xxxxxxxx generated by service
establishment, installation, equipment, reaming, tolls and rental fees.
"Churn" means the average monthly number of permanent and
temporary-to-permanent deactivations during the Measuring Period for all
CRS Customers, divided by Agent's average monthly number of CRS Customers
during the Measuring Period.
"Measuring Period" means, as to any Determination Period, the
applicable three (3) month period occurring prior to such Determination
Period which is used to determine ARPU and Churn for the purpose of
calculating Agent's Commission, and which is set forth opposite the
applicable Determination Period below:
139
TO DETERMINE COMMISSIONS FOR ALL
DETERMINATION PERIODS COMMENCING DURING MEASURING PERIOD
--------------------------------------- -----------------------
September, October, November May 1 - July 31
December, January, February August 1 - October 31
March, April, May November 1 - January 31
June, July, August February 1 - April 30
"Recent CRS Customers" mean those active CRS Customers solicited
by Agent, accepted by PacTel and activated within the *** period
immediately preceding the beginning of the then-applicable Measuring
Period.
(b) Except as set forth in Section 2(c) hereof and except for
Discount Commissions, Agent's Commission shall be determined by applying
Agent's ARPU and Churn factors to the formula. An applicable Commission
computed for a Measuring Period applies to all New Customers solicited
by Agent and accepted by PacTel during the applicable Determination
Periods commencing during the three (3) month periods set forth above
opposite such Measuring Period, regardless of the type of service plan
selected by a New Customer. Commissions are re-calculated every three
(3) months beginning with the three (3) month period of September,
October and November 1993, using Agent's ARPU and Churn factors for the
then-applicable Measuring Period.
(c) If at the later of (i) September 11, 1993, or (ii) the date
of execution of this Agreement, the number of CRS Customers solicited by
Agent and activated by PacTel shall be less than 100 (without deducting
for deactivation), then Agent's Commission shall be equal to the average
Commission per New Customer for all PacTel sales for PacTel sales Agents
for the then-curent Measuring Period, as determined by Pactel, as

Exhibit A
Credit Service Agreement
[PacTel Letterhead]
[Sales Agent]
[Address]
Re: Availability and Use of Credit Reporting Services
Dear______________:
To assist its sales agents in soliciting orders for cellular
radiotelephone services ("CRS"), PacTel Cellular Inc. of Georgia ("PacTel") may
from time to time enter into credit reporting arrangements with credit reporting
agencies or other processors of credit information (collectively, "Reporting
Agencies" and individually, a "Reporting Agency") pursuant to which PacTel's
sales agents, including [Sales Agent] (the "Agent"), may initiate credit checks
for prospective CRS customers by or through one or more Reporting Agencies. The
purpose of this letter is to set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to
which PacTel is willing to allow the Agent's use, as a PacTel sales agent, of
credit reporting and other services (collectively, "Credit Reporting Services")
which may be or become available through Reporting Agencies.
(i) Available Credit Reporting Services. The Credit Reporting Services
currently available allow PacTel's designated agents to call a toll-free number,
give certain information regarding a prospective CRS customer, and receive a
response regarding the amount of security deposit, if any, which will be
required in order to enroll the customer as a PacTel CRS system user.
(ii) Terms and Conditions Regarding Use of Credit Reporting Services.
By execution of this letter and compliance with the requirements set forth
herein, Agent agrees that if Credit Reporting Services are made available to it,
it shall use such services, and shall insure that all of its employees,
sub-agents, dealers, representatives and agents, including their employees
(collectively, the "Agent's Affiliates"), use such services strictly in
accordance with the following terms and conditions, as well as any other
procedures which PacTel may put in place regarding use of Credit Reporting
Services:
A. Agent must comply, and insure that the Agent's Affiliates
comply, with all laws, regulations and other legal requirements applicable to
the use of the Credit Reporting Services. Accordingly, Agent is advised to
obtain the advice of legal counsel as to the specifics of compliance with such
laws, regulations and requirements.
B. The Credit Reporting Services are made available by PacTel
to its designated agents free of charge, except to the extent that the number of
prospective customers as to which an agent requests Credit Reporting Services in
any month exceeds 125% of such agent's activations for that month. In such case
the agent will be responsible for the charges to PacTel by the subject Reporting
Agencies for provision of Credit Reporting Services in connection with such
excess requests; provided, however, that regardless of any such payment(s) by
any agent, the results of all Credit Reporting Services and all reports and
other documentation generated in connection therewith shall at all times remain
the sole and exclusive property of PacTel.
145
C. Prior to using the Credit Reporting Services, Agent may be
required to post and maintain a bond with PacTel in an amount deemed adequate by
PacTel to protect PacTel against any failure of the indemnity protections of
Paragraph 4 hereof.
D. Credit Reporting Services shall be used for the sole
purpose of determining the amount of security deposit, if any, which PacTel will
require prior to providing CRS to a potential customer.
E. Credit Reporting Services shall be requested and utilized
only in connection with potential customers who have specifically expressed to
the Agent or one of Agent's Affiliates a desire to purchase CRS from PacTel.
F. Each potential customer shall be informed that Credit
Reporting Services will be performed prior to the Agent's or any of Agent's
Affiliates' contacting any Reporting Agency or otherwise initiating Credit
Reporting Services in connection with such potential customer.
G. If a potential customer as to whom Credit Reporting
Services have been utilized ultimately executes a Customer Service Agreement
with PacTel, Agent shall complete the section of such agreement acknowledging
customer notification of the credit verification requirement.
(iii) Failure to Comply. The Agent acknowledges and agrees that any use
of Credit Reporting Services by the Agent or any of Agent's Affiliates other
than in strict compliance with the provisions of Paragraph 2 hereof will
constitute a material breach of Agent's responsibilities as a sales agent of
PacTel and will authorize PacTel to terminate its Sales Agent Agreement with
Agent and any and all rights of the Agent and Agent's Affiliates to act on
behalf of PacTel in any representative manner.
(iv) Indemnity. The Agent shall and does hereby agree to indemnify and
hold harmless PacTel, together with its officers, directors, parent and
affiliates, from and against any and all liabilities, fees, debts, damages,
suits, actions, judgments, losses, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and court costs) or claims of whatsoever nature
relating to or arising out of the Agent's or any of the Agent's Affiliates'
failure to comply with the terms and conditions of Paragraph 2 hereof.
(v) General. This letter constitutes the complete understanding of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be assigned,
amended or discharged unless in a writing signed by all parties. This agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws and decisions of
the State of Georgia. Failure by either party hereto to enforce any terms and
conditions of this agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any such terms and
conditions at any future time. This letter will become a part of the Sales Agent
Agreement between PacTel and the Agent.
If you would like to use Credit Reporting Services, please have an
authorized officer execute this letter in the place set forth below. Upon
receipt of an executed copy of this letter (and any required bond) and PacTel's
acceptance thereof, you will be authorized to
EXHIBIT A

use the Credit Reporting Services and will receive instructions on how to access
and use such services.

CONFIDENTIAL
AMENDMENT TO SALES AGENT AGREEMENT
FOR CELLULAR RADIOTELEPHONE SERVICE
This Amendment, dated April 6, 1995, modifies the terms of the Sales Agent
Agreement dated October 19, 1993 (the "Sales Agent Agreement") by and between
AIRTOUCH CELLULAR OF GEORGIA (formerly know as PacTel Cellular Inc. of Georgia")
("AirTouch") and NORTH POINT CELLULAR, INC. d/b/a Peachtree Mobility ("Agent").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Agent and AirTouch believe it to be in their mutual best interest
to amend the Sales Agent Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof,
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, the mutual
covenants and promises herein contained, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto, each intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree to amend the
Sales Agent Agreement as follows:
1. Effect of Amendment.
This Amendment is an amendment to the Sales Agent Agreement. It is intended
that the provisions of this Amendment are incorporated into the Sales Agent
Agreement and should be construed as if they were a part of the original
Agreement, except that, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this
Amendment and the terms of the original Agreement which cannot be reconciled,
the terms hereof shall apply. All terms and conditions of the Sales Agent
Agreement which are not specifically
156
modified by this Amendment shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
All capitalized terms and other phrases defined in the Sales Agent Agreement
shall have the same meaning given to them in the Sales Agent Agreement. Further,
it is understood that references to "PacTel" in the Sales Agent Agreement and to
"AirTouch" in this Amendment refer to the same entity. This Amendment shall be
effective on April 6, 1995 (the "Effective Date").
2. Commissions.
a. Residual Commissions. Section 4(e) and Schedule 4 of the Sales
Agent Agreement, relating to residuals, shall be deleted in their entirety.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Sales Agent Agreement, AirTouch shall
have no further obligation to make any payments of residual commissions to Agent
with respect to sales or activations occurring after the Effective Date of this
Amendment, and AirTouch is satisfying its obligation to pay residual commissions
with respect to sales or activations prior to the Effective Date of this
Amendment pursuant to a Settlement Agreement of even date herewith.
b. Up Front Commissions. Schedule 3, the Commission Schedule, is
hereby amended as follows: Paragraph 1 of the Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect. Paragraphs 2 through 5 of Schedule 3 shall be deleted in their
entirety and replaced with the following:
2. The following definitions shall apply to this Schedule 3:
"ARPU" means the average monthly xxxxxxxx by AirTouch for "Recent CRS
Customers" (as such term is hereinafter defined) during the "Measuring
2
157
Period"-(as such term is hereafter defined). ARPU includes xxxxxxxx
generated by access, air time, features, discounts, and other charges and
credits, but excludes xxxxxxxx generated by service establishment,
installation, equipment, roaming, tolls, long distance and rental fees.
"Churn" means the average monthly number of permanent and
temporary-to-permanent deactivations during the Measuring Period for all
CRS Customers, divided by Agent's average monthly number of CRS Customers
during the Measuring Period.
"Measuring Period" shall mean any six-month period beginning with May
1, 1995, which commences on May 1 and ends on October 31 of any year, or
commences on November 1 of any year and ends on April 30 of the following
year.
"Recent CRS Customers" mean those active CRS Customers solicited by
Agent, accepted by AirTouch and activated within the twelve (12) month
period immediately preceding the beginning of the then-applicable Measuring
Period.
3. AirTouch agrees to pay Agent the following up front commissions
for the activation of each New Customer as follows:
a. For each New Customer with a Class Code of A or B who is not
on the Safety Plan:
for activations during 1995: $310.00
for activations from 1/1/96
through 3/31/96 $300.00
for activations during the
remainder of 1996: $290.00
for activations during 1997
and from 1/1/98 through 3/31/98: $280.00
In the event AirTouch pays any other agent or mass retailer within the
Coverage Area an up front commission with respect to sales to New Customers
which is more than $10.00 greater than the aforesaid commissions payable to
Agent during any period, then AirTouch will increase the up front
commissions to Agent to such higher amount during such period as such
higher commission rate to the other agent or retailer remains in effect. It
is expressly understood that this "most favored nations" provision applies
only to up front commissions.
3
158
b. For each New Customer activated on the Safety Plan (or who
transfers to the safety plan within the billing period forty-five days after
activation) or who has a Class Code of Q:
for activations during 1995: $210.00
for activations during 1/1/96
through 3/31/96 $200.00
for activations during the
remainder of 1996: $190.00
for activations during 1997
and from 1/1/98 through 3/31/98: $180.00
c. If Agent's ARPU is 15% or more lower and/or Agent's Churn is
15% or more higher than the average ARPU or Churn for AirTouch's agents on the
Gold Plan during any Measuring Period, the up front commission payable to Agent
pursuant to subparagraphs a and b above (after any adjustment pursuant to the
most favored nations clause in subparagraph a) shall be reduced by 10% for the
immediately following six-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AirTouch
shall give Agent notice of its poor ARPU and/or Churn figures during a Measuring
Period one time without imposing the 10% commission reduction and may only
impose such reduction following each subsequent Measuring Period with respect to
which such standard is not met.
d. No commissions shall be payable with respect to the
activation of New Customers on month-to-month service contracts or
customers with a Class Code of M.
3. Commissions are only payable after receipt by AirTouch of an
accurate, complete and fully executed standard-form customer contract for
CRS for a New Customer and shall not be paid by AirTouch until it has
received such contract. If Agent does not forward the then applicable
standard-form customer service contract signed by a New Customer to
AirTouch within 30 days after the activation of a CRS phone number for each
New Customer, then Agent shall not be entitled to receive any Commission
for such New Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
AirTouch rejects any standard-form customer service
4
159
contract submitted by Agent but fails to have such rejection
available to Agent within 72 hours after receipt of such contract by
AirTouch, then Agent shall have 30 days after such rejection in which
to cure any deficiency in the contract and resubmit same; and if
Agent resubmits such contract within such 30 day period and AirTouch
accepts such contract, then AirTouch will be obligated to pay the
Commission in accordance with this Agreement.
4. Once a customer has been activated, AirTouch shall have no
right to reduce Agent's commission by changing AirTouch's initial
customer class determination based on a downgrading in credit
evaluation.
3. Initial Term.
Section 9(a) of the Sales Agent Agreement, relating to the term shall be
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
(a) Term. Unless sooner terminated in accordance with Section
9(b) hereof, the initial term of this Agreement (the "Initial Term")
will continue through March 31, 1998. This Agreement will continue
thereafter for additional one year renewal terms unless either party
gives at least thirty (30) days advance written notice of nonrenewal
prior to the end of the term then in effect. The up front commission
payable for each renewal term will be as agreed by the parties. On or
before December 31, 1997 and December 31, of each subsequent year,
AirTouch will provide a proposed revision to the up front commission
to apply during the next subsequent renewal term. If this rate is not
acceptable to North Point, the parties will negotiate in good faith to
reach a commission level which is acceptable to both parties. If the
parties are unable to negotiate such a commission rate prior to the
end of such year, then this Agreement shall expire as of the end of
the term then in effect.
4. Additional Provisions.
The Sales Agent Agreement is hereby amended by adding new Sections 12
through 17 to such Agreement as follows:
12. Retail Locations; Trade Name; Restriction on Transfer.
5
160
(a) During the term of this Agreement, except as otherwise
provided herein, Agent agrees to maintain the following retail
locations for the purpose of selling AirTouch CRS and related
equipment under the trade name "Peachtree Mobility": (i) North Point
Mall; (ii) Gwinnett Place Mall; (iii) Town Center Mall; (iv) Perimeter
Mall; and (v) the Buckhead store at 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx. Such stores
shall be referred to herein as the "Primary Stores." Agent hereby
represents and warrants that Agent owns all right, title and interest
in the trade name "Peachtree Mobility" and that North Point or the
individuals and corporations identified in Exhibit A to this Amendment
(the "Additional Lessees") is the lessee under the leases for each of
the Primary Stores. The Additional Lessees have executed this
Agreement solely for purposes of stating their agreement to be bound
by this section 12.
(b) Agent and each of the Additional Lessees hereby covenant and
agree that none of them will sell, assign, distribute, devise,
sublease, surrender or otherwise transfer, either directly,
indirectly, by operation of law or in any other manner (any such
transaction being referred to herein as a "Transfer") any right, title
or interest in any lease for any of the Primary Stores or any right,
title or interest in the trade name "Peachtree Mobility" to any person
or entity other than: (i) a person or entity who will operate as an
AirTouch agent and assume North Point's rights and obligations under
the Sales Agent Agreement; or (ii) to a person or entity who will
operate the Primary Stores or use such trade name for a purpose
unrelated to the sale of CRS, personal communication system ("PCS")
service or other mobile telecommunications service in competition with
AirTouch; provided that if a Transfer is to be made pursuant to this
Clause (ii) for such an unrelated use, then AirTouch will have a right
of first refusal pursuant to subsection (c) of this section 12. Any
Transfer permitted under clause (i) of this section 12(b) may be
undertaken only with the prior written consent of AirTouch, but
AirTouch will not unreasonably withhold such consent.
(c) If Agent or any of the Additional Lessees receives from a
prospective purchaser and desires to accept a bona fide offer to
purchase and desires to accept a bona fide offer to purchase any right
title or interest in any or all leases of a Primary Store or in the
trade name "Peachtree Mobility" who
6
161
desires to use the leasehold premises or such name for a noncompeting
purpose, as described in clause (ii) of section 12(b), then AirTouch
shall have a right of first refusal as follows: AirTouch or its
nominee shall have the right, exercisable within 10 business days
after it receives all of the information set forth below to elect to
purchase such right, title or interest from Agent or Additional Lessee
(as the case may be) on the same monetary terms and conditions as are
offered by such prospective purchaser. Agent will provide AirTouch
with a written notice of such intended sale, setting forth the name
and address of the prospective purchaser, the price and terms of such
offer, a copy of such offer (if such offer is in writing), a copy of
each relevant lease and all amendments and other documents affecting
the use of the premises or any agreement with the lessor, and the
following financial information: relevant payroll expense documents,
and documents reflecting all recurring legal and financial obligations
relating to operations at each such Primary Store location (or if
there are no such documents, then descriptions of such obligations).
If AirTouch does not exercise its option within such 10 business day
period after it receives all such information, then Agent or
Additional Lessee may, within sixty (60) days after expiration of
AirTouch's right of first refusal, sell, assign and transfer such
lease and name, subject to a covenant by the purchaser that such
Primary Store will be used only for a noncompeting purpose, as
described in clause (ii) of section 12(b) and the purchaser's
agreement that AirTouch is an intended third party beneficiary with a
right to enforce such covenant. If AirTouch does elect to exercise its
right of first refusal hereunder, the closing thereof shall take place
within ten (10) business days after the date of AirTouch's exercise.
(d) This Agreement shall not be construed to require North Point
to continue in the business of selling AirTouch cellular service;
provided that this sentence is not intended to obviate the covenants
of Agent and Additional Lessees in this section 12 or the other
covenants in this Agreement with respect to exclusive dealing,
noncompetition and assignment. In the event that North Point desires
to use any or all of the Primary Stores for a purpose unrelated to the
sale of cellular service, PCS or other telephone service in
competition with AirTouch, AirTouch will have the option to purchase
such Primary Store(s), including all improvements and fixtures therein
and to assume

breach of this Section 12 by Agent, AirTouch will have no adequate
remedy at law. Upon any such breach, AirTouch shall be entitled to

relief and specific performance, in addition to damages and other
remedies.

signage at all Agent locations. Except as specified in subsection (a)

Primary Store as provided for in Section 13(a) of this Agreement if Agent

(b) Agent hereby covenants and agrees that it will not sell, assign,
distribute, devise, sublease, surrender or otherwise transfer, either
directly, indirectly, by operation of law or in any other manner (any such
transaction being referred to herein as a "Transfer") any right, title or
interest in any lease for any of the Primary Stores or any right, title or
interest in either of the trade names "Peachtree Mobility" or "Let's Talk
Cellular and Wireless" to any person or entity other than: (i) a person or
entity who will operate as an AirTouch agent and assume Agent's rights and
obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) to a person or entity who will
operate the Primary Stores or use such trade name for a purpose unrelated
to the sale of CRS, personal communication system ("PCS") service or
other mobile telecommunications service in competition with AirTouch;
provided that if a Transfer is to be made pursuant to this Clause (ii) for
such an unrelated use, then AirTouch will have a right of first refusal
pursuant to subsection (c) of this section 12. Any Transfer permitted
under clause (i) of this section 12(b) may be undertaken only with the
prior written consent of AirTouch, but AirTouch will not unreasonably
withhold such consent.
(c) If Agent receives from a prospective purchaser and desires to
accept a bona fide offer to purchase any right, title or interest in any or
all leases of any Primary Store or in either of the trade names "Peachtree
Mobility" or "Let's Talk Cellular and Wireless" who desires to use the
leasehold premises or such name for a noncompeting purpose, as described in
clause (ii) of section 12(b), then AirTouch shall have a right of first
refusal as follows: AirTouch or its nominee shall have the right,
exercisable within 10 business days after it receives all of the
information set forth below, to elect to purchase such right, title or
interest from Agent on the same monetary terms and conditions as are
offered by such prospective purchaser. Agent will provide AirTouch with a
written notice of such intended sale, setting forth the name and address of
the prospective purchaser, the price and terms of such offer, a copy of
such offer (if such offer is in writing), a copy of each relevant lease and
all amendments and other documents affecting the use of the premises or any
agreement with the lessor, and the following financial information:
relevant payroll expense documents, and documents reflecting all recurring
legal and financial obligations relating to operations at each such Primary
Store location (or if there are no such documents, then descriptions of
such

obligations). If AirTouch elects to purchase such right, title and interest
from Agent, then the parties shall use their best efforts to ensure that
the closing thereof shall take place within ten (10) business days after
the date of AirTouch's exercise. If AirTouch does not exercise its option
within the 10 business day period after it receives all such information,
then Agent may, within sixty (60) days after expiration of AirTouch's right
of first refusal, sell, assign and transfer such lease and name, at the
same price and terms contained in the written notice to AirTouch of such
intended sale, subject to a covenant by the purchaser that such Primary
Store will be used only for a noncompeting purpose (as described in clause
(ii) of section 12(b)) and to the purchaser's agreement that AirTouch is an
intended third party beneficiary with a right to enforce its right of first
refusal hereunder.
(d) This Agreement shall not be construed to require Agent to
continue in the business of selling AirTouch cellular service; provided
that this sentence is not intended to obviate the covenants of Agent in
this section 12 or the other covenants in this Agreement with respect to
exclusive dealing, noncompetition and assignment. In the event that Agent
desires to use any or all of the Primary Stores for a purpose unrelated to
the sale of cellular service, PCS or other telephone service in competition
with AirTouch, AirTouch will have the option to purchase such Primary
Store(s), including all improvements and fixtures therein and to assume the
lease in exchange for a price of $*** per store (other than the
Perimeter Mall store) and for $*** for the kiosk/cart at Perimeter Mall,
together with the assumption of all bona fide obligations under the
respective lease(s).
(e) Agent shall provide AirTouch, within ten (10) days after the
date of this Amendment, evidence that it has notified the lessor of each
Primary Store of AirTouch's rights to approve or disapprove Transfers and
its rights of purchase under this Section 12.
(f) Agent acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of any breach
of this Section 12 by Agent, AirTouch will have no adequate remedy at law.
Upon any such breach, AirTouch shall be entitled to equitable remedies,
including temporary and permanent injunctive relief and specific
performance, in addition to damages and other remedies.
7. Amendment to Section 15. The Sales Agent Agreement is amended to add a
new subsection (d) to Section 15 thereof as follows:
(d) AirTouch agrees that with respect to the cooperative advertising
allowance provided for in Section 15(b) of this Agreement, AirTouch will do
the following:

(i) For the period after the Effective Date and up to and
including December 31, 1996, Agent may request reimbursement for
approved advertising and be paid such amount up to a running deficit
in such allowance account of $***. On and after January 1, 1997,
Agent shall no longer be allowed to have a deficit in its
allowance account but must first make up such deficit and earn any
further allowance through activations before being reimbursed for
any approved amount.
(ii) Immediately after the Effective Date AirTouch shall credit
such advertising allowance an amount equal to $*** against which
credit Agent may apply for reimbursement of *** of the cost of
approved signage and advertising for the Northlake and Lenox stores
only. Agent acknowledges that this $*** advertising allowance
credit is in lieu of and not in addition to the signage allowance
provided under Section 13 of this Agreement.
(iii) In addition, pursuant to Section 15(b) of this
Agreement, AirTouch provides Agent with an additional advertising
allowance of $*** for each calendar quarter in which Agent
activates at least *** New Customers. This additional advertising
allowance is credited to Agent's allowance after the end of each
calendar quarter and in the case of the third calendar quarter of
1996 would generally be credited to the allowance in October of
1996. AirTouch agrees that it will immediately credit Agent's
advertising allowance $*** representing an early credit of the
third calendar quarter additional advertising allowance. If Agent
fails to activate at least *** New Customers during the third
quarter of 1996, then in the next calendar quarter in which Agent
does activate at least *** New Customers, Agent will not be
entitled to receive such additional advertising allowance. If Agent
has not activated at least *** New Customers in a calendar quarter
on or before June 30, 1997, then on such date, AirTouch will debit
$*** from Agent's allowance account, and Agent will have to make
up any deficit in such account before receiving any advertising
reimbursement.
8. New Section 17. The Sales Agent Agreement is amended to add a new
Section 17 thereof as follows:
17. Location of New Stores. AirTouch agrees, subject to the
requirements of AirTouch's Retail Location Policy (a copy of which has
been provided to Agent), as amended from time to time, that on or after
January 1, 1997, Agent may open any new retail location at any time during
the term of this
