WHEREAS, the Company was formed as a limited liability company pursuant to and in accordance with the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (6 Del. C. § 18-101, et seq.) (the “Act”) and pursuant to that certain Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of November     , 2004 (the “LLC Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the LLC Agreement in order to provide that the Company shall be managed by a Board of Managers, rather than a sole manager, and that SunCom Wireless Management Company, Inc. shall no longer serve as the manager of the Company immediately after giving effect to this Amendment;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Section 16 of the LLC Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“16. Management.

 

  (a) Except for those matters for which the approval of the Members is required by this Agreement or by nonwaivable provisions of applicable law, and subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) the Company shall be managed by and under the authority and direction of, a Board of Managers; (ii) the Board of Managers, acting alone, shall have the right, power and the authority to bind the Company; and (iii) the Board of Managers may make all decisions and take all actions for the Company not otherwise provided for in this Agreement. The Board of Managers shall have the right, power and authority to delegate to one or more other persons or entities the Board of Managers’ rights and powers to manage and control the business and affairs of the Company, including to delegate to agents, officers and employees of a Member or the Board of Managers, and to delegate by a management agreement or another agreement with, or otherwise to, other persons or entities.

  (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Board of Managers may not cause the Company to do any of the following without the consent of the Members: (i) amend the Certificate of Formation (except for amendments described in §18-202(b) of the Act); (ii) amend this Agreement; (iii) admit additional Members to the Company; (iv) approve a merger or division in which the Company is a party; (v) determine in-kind distributions of the assets of the Company; (vi) form any subsidiary of the Company or acquire any equity interest in any other person or entity business; or (vii) take any other action for which the consent of the Members is expressly provided by the provisions of this Agreement.

 

  (c) The initial Board of Managers of the Company shall consist of the following individual (a “Manager”):

Andrew T. Panaccione

The Manager shall hold office until his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified. A Manager need not be a Member or a resident of the State of Delaware. Thereafter, the number of Managers shall not be less than one nor more than five. The number of Managers may be fixed or changed from time to time by the Members.

 

  (d) Any vacancy in the Board of Managers may be filled by the Members. A Manager elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office. Any Manager may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Members. Any Manager may resign at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the Members.

  (e) A quorum of the Board of Managers consists of a majority of the number of Managers prescribed in or fixed in accordance with this Agreement. If a quorum is present when a vote is taken, the affirmative vote of a majority of Managers present shall be the act of the Board of Managers. The Board of Managers may permit any or all Managers to participate in a meeting by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of communication by which all Managers participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. A Manager participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

 

- 2 -

  (f) Pursuant to Section 18-404 of the Act, action to be taken at a Board of Managers meeting may be taken without a meeting if the action is consented to in writing signed by the Managers having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Managers entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. The action must be evidenced by one or more written consents, signed by the requisite number of Manager, describing the action taken, and included in the minutes or filed with the records of the Company reflecting the action taken. Action taken under this paragraph is effective when the last required Manager signs the consent, unless the consent specifies a different effective date.

 

  (g) The Board of Managers in its discretion may submit any act or contract for approval or ratification to the Members, and any act or contract that shall be approved or be ratified by the Members shall be as valid and as binding upon the Company and upon all the Members as if it shall have been approved or ratified by every Member of the Company.

 

  (h) The Managers shall receive such compensation, if any, for their services as may be designated from time to time by the Members. In addition, the Managers shall be entitled to be reimbursed for out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in the course of his or her service hereunder.

 

  (i) Subject to the other express provisions of this Agreement, each Manager and Member of the Company at any time and from time to time may engage in and possess interests in other business ventures of any and every type and description, independently or with others, including ones in competition with the Company, with no obligation to offer to the Company or any other Member or Manager the right to participate, therein. The Company may transact business with the Manager or any Member or affiliate thereof, provided the terms of those transactions are no less favorable than those of the Company could obtain from unrelated third parties.”

2. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but which together shall constitute one instrument.
