NOW, THEREFORE, in contemplation of the foregoing and in consideration of

51. Certain Covenants.
-----------------
51.1 Lock-Up. Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees during the
-------
term of this Agreement that (a) except as consented to in writing by Sprint in
its sole discretion, Stockholder will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge,
hypothecate, tender or otherwise dispose of or limit its right to vote in any
manner any of the Option Shares, or agree to do any of the foregoing, and (b)
Stockholder will not take any action which would have the effect of preventing
or disabling Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement.

-----------------
proxies, voting agreements or similar arrangements previously given or entered
into with respect to the Option Shares and hereby irrevocably appoints Sprint,
during the term of this Agreement, as proxy for Stockholder to vote (or refrain

at any annual, special or other meeting or action of the stockholders of the
Company, as applicable, or at any adjournment thereof or pursuant to any consent
of the stockholders of the Company, in lieu of a meeting or otherwise, with
respect to any issue brought before the stockholders of the Company, other than
with respect to the election of directors of the Company, for which the
stockholders of the Company are entitled to vote.
51.3 Public Announcement. Stockholder shall consult with Sprint
-------------------
before issuing any press releases or otherwise making any public statements with
respect to the transactions
contemplated herein and shall not issue any such press release or make any such
public statement without the approval of Sprint, except as may be required by
law.
51.4 Stop Transfer Instruction. Promptly following the date hereof,
-------------------------
Stockholder and Sprint shall deliver joint written instructions to the Company
and to the Company's transfer agent stating that the Option Shares may not be
sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, tendered or otherwise
disposed of in any manner without the prior written consent of Sprint or except
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
51.5 HSR Filing. Promptly following the date hereof, Sprint will
----------
make all filings with and give all notices to governmental or regulatory
authorities required of Sprint pursuant to the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended ("HSR Act"), in connection with
consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Sprint will use
all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain early termination of all
applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act.
52. Grant of Option.
---------------
2.1 Option. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this
------
Agreement, Stockholder hereby grants to Sprint or Sprint's designee an
irrevocable option (the "Option") to purchase the Option Shares. Upon exercise
of the Option and purchase of the Option Shares, Sprint shall not assume any
liabilities or obligations (if any) of Stockholder related to or in connection
with such Option Shares and arising prior to the Option Closing Date (as defined
hereinafter).
2.2 Option Price. The purchase price payable by Sprint or its
------------
designee at the Option Closing (as hereinafter defined) for the Option Shares
shall be an amount equal to $10.00 per Option Share (the "Option Price");
provided, however, if prior to the Option Closing, Sprint shall purchase any
-------- -------
shares of the Company Common Stock, or make a tender offer for shares of the
Company Common Stock, for an amount per share in excess of the Option Price or
amend the merger agreement with the Company to increase the per share
consideration in an amount per share in excess of the Option Price or (in either
case, the "Excess Amount"), then the amount per Option Share to be paid by
Sprint shall equal the sum of the Option Price plus the Excess Amount. If
following the Option Closing, Sprint shall purchase any shares of the Company
Common Stock, or make a tender offer for shares of the Company Common Stock, for
an amount per share, or amend the merger agreement with the Company to increase
the per share consideration in an amount per share, in excess of the sum of the
Option Price plus, if applicable, the Excess Amount plus any other amount
previously remitted pursuant to this Section 2.2 (the "Subsequent Excess
Amount"), then Sprint shall forthwith remit to Stockholder an amount equal to
the Subsequent Excess Amount for each Option Share purchased at the Option
Closing. References in this Section 2.2 to the purchase of shares of Company
Common Stock shall include such purchases pursuant to a merger agreement with
the Company.
2.3 Exercise.
--------
(a) Sprint or its designee shall be entitled to exercise the Option by
giving written notice to Stockholder. Such notice shall specify a date (not
earlier than one business day or later than three business days from the date
such notice is delivered to Stockholder) and place for closing of the exercise
of the Option (the "Option Closing"). Upon delivery of notice exercising the
Option, the Option shall be deemed to have been exercised by Sprint or its
designee irrespective of the actual date of the Option Closing (the actual date
of the Option Closing is referred to hereinafter as the "Option Closing Date").
At the Option Closing, Sprint or its designee will deliver to Stockholder the
Option Price (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.2, if necessary) with respect to
the Option Shares, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designated in writing by Stockholder prior to the Option Closing Date.
(b) Upon payment of the Option Price as provided in Section 2.3
hereof, the Stockholder shall deliver to Sprint or its designee at the Option
Closing, (i) the certificates representing the Option Shares duly endorsed in
blank for transfer, or accompanied by duly executed stock powers in blank, in
each case with signatures guaranteed by a national bank or trust company or a
member firm of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. and (ii) all such other
agreements, endorsements, assignments and other instruments as are necessary or
desirable, in Sprint's sole and absolute discretion, to vest in Sprint or its
designee good and marketable title to such Option Shares or to evidence of
record the sale and assignment of such Option Shares to Sprint or its designee.
2.4 Option Expiration/Put Right. Except as provided below, the
---------------------------
Option shall terminate and expire 10 days after the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement receive approval required by the HSR Act, including early
termination or lapse of the HSR Act waiting period ("HSR Approval"), if the
Option has not been exercised by Sprint or its designee on or before such date
(the "Expiration Date"). If the Option has not been exercised by Sprint on or
before the Expiration Date, Stockholder shall have the right at such time, and
for a period of 30 days thereafter, to deliver a written notice to Sprint (the
"Stockholder Notice") requiring that Sprint or its designee purchase the Option
Shares at the Option Price, as adjusted (if necessary), including payment of any
Excess Amount or Subsequent Excess Amount that would be payable if Sprint
exercised the Option, in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof (the "Put Right").
Upon the exercise by Stockholder of the Put Right, the parties hereto shall
consummate the purchase and sale of the Option Shares in accordance with Section
2.3 hereof.

---------------------------------------------

Date, as follows:

determined to sell the Option Shares notwithstanding its lack of knowledge of
Sprint's Excluded Information, and (c) Sprint shall have no liability or
obligation to Stockholder in connection with, and Stockholder hereby waives and
releases Sprint from, any claims which Stockholder or its successors and assigns

-------- -------
Stockholder's right to rely upon the express representations and warranties made
by Sprint in this Agreement, or Stockholder's remedies in respect of breaches of
any such representations and warranties.

survive the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby until the expiration
of the applicable statute of limitations, including extensions thereof.
55. Specific Performance. Stockholder acknowledges that Sprint will be
--------------------
irreparably harmed and that there will be no adequate remedy at law for a
violation of any of the covenants or agreements of Stockholder which are
contained in this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any
other remedies which may be available to Sprint upon the breach by
Stockholder of such covenants and agreements, Sprint shall have the right to
