23 Exhibit A AIRWAVE ESCROW AGREEMENT This ESCROW AGREEMENT, dated as of __________, 2001 is entered into by and among Tritel, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of TeleCorp PCS, Inc. ("Tritel"), the entities set forth on Schedule I ( the ------ "Airwave Investor Indemnitors") and Firstar Bank, N.A., having an address of 101 ----------------------------- East Fifth Street, St. Paul, MN 55101, as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent") ------------ (each of the foregoing a "Party" and collectively the "Parties"). Capitalized ----- ------- terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Settlement Agreement (as defined herein) or the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined herein) as applicable. WHEREAS, Tritel and the Airwave Investor Indemnitors are parties to a Settlement Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the "Settlement Agreement"); WHEREAS, Tritel and the Airwave Investor Indemnitors are parties to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of May 20, 1998 (the "Securities ---------- Purchase Agreement"); ------------------ WHEREAS, Tritel became a wholly-owned subsidiary of TeleCorp PCS, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("TeleCorp"), pursuant to a merger (the "Merger") -------- ------ that was consummated on November 13, 2000; WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Merger, each share of Tritel Class A Common Stock ("Tritel Shares") was converted, effective on the ------------- Reconciliation Date, into 0.76 shares of TeleCorp Class A Voting Common Stock ("TeleCorp Shares"); ----------------- WHEREAS, the Parties hereto wish to designate the Escrow Agent to administer an escrow for the benefit of the Parties hereto on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Escrow Agreement; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Escrow Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: ARTICLE I TERMS OF THE ESCROW Section 1.01 Appointment of the Escrow Agent; Deposit of Escrowed ---------------------------------------------------- Shares. ------ Tritel and the Airwave Investor Indemnitors hereby constitute and appoint the Escrow Agent as, and the Escrow Agent hereby agrees to assume and perform the duties of, escrow agent under and pursuant to this Escrow Agreement. The Parties shall arrange for the Escrow Agent to A-1 receive 1,246,211 Tritel Shares, or in the event shares are delivered in the form of TeleCorp Shares, 947,120 TeleCorp Shares (such shares and the TeleCorp Shares into which they are converted being the "Escrowed Shares"). --------------- Section 1.02 Stock Certificates for Escrowed Shares. In the event the -------------------------------------- Escrow Agent receives the Escrowed Shares in the form of Tritel Shares, the Escrow Agent shall, promptly following the receipt of such Tritel Shares, take any and all action necessary to obtain stock certificates reflecting the conversion, pursuant to the Merger, of the Tritel Shares that constitute Escrowed Shares into TeleCorp Shares. Section 1.03 The Escrow Fund. The Escrowed Shares, any cash resulting --------------- from the disposition of the Escrowed Shares pursuant to Section 1.05 herein, any stock dividends paid on any Escrowed Shares, or any rights or securities into which the Escrowed Shares are convertible or have been converted, and all earnings on any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Escrow Fund") shall be held ----------- by the Escrow Agent as a trust fund in separate accounts maintained for the purpose, on the terms set forth in, and subject to the conditions of, this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Fund shall be divided into seven (7) accounts, each of which shall be an account for a separate Airwave Investor Indemnitor and which shall contain the number of Escrowed Shares set forth next to the name of the Airwave Investor Indemnitor on Schedule I hereto (each an "Account"). The -------- Escrow Agent shall maintain accurate and current balance information with regard to each Account and shall maintain each Account separately. The Escrow Fund shall not be subject to lien or attachment by any creditor of any party hereto and shall be used solely for the purpose set forth in this Escrow Agreement. Amounts held in the Escrow Fund shall not be available to, and shall not be used by, the Escrow Agent to set off any obligations of any Party hereto owing to the Escrow Agent in any capacity. Section 1.04 Investment of the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent shall ----------------------------- invest and reinvest all cash funds, if any, held from time to time as part of the Escrow Fund, in its discretion, in demand or time deposits in, certificates of deposit of or bankers' acceptances issued by a depository institution or trust company incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or such other investments as the Parties shall approve in writing. If the Escrow Agent is so required to invest the Escrow Fund, then the Escrow Agent shall invest all or any part of the Escrow Fund in such a manner so as to distribute the Escrow Fund as provided herein in immediately available funds, or, if the Escrow Fund consists of securities, the Escrow Agent shall make such distributions by transferring certificates representing such securities. Section 1.05 Sale of Escrowed Shares. Promptly upon the Escrow Agent's ----------------------- receipt of written instructions from any Airwave Investor Indemnitor to sell a specified number of Escrowed Shares, the Escrow Agent shall execute the sale requested by such instructions; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall --------- -------- not in a single sale or series of sales, sell a number of Escrowed Shares on behalf of an Airwave Investor Indemnitor that is greater than the number of Escrowed Shares in the Account of such Airwave Investor Indemnitor, and provided -------- further, that the proceeds of any sale pursuant to this Section 1.05 shall ------- immediately become part of such Account. A-2 Section 1.06 Notice. Upon the Escrow Agent's receipt of any notice or ------ certificate provided for in this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall promptly provide a copy of such notice or certificate to each Party. ARTICLE II DISTRIBUTION OF THE ESCROW FUND Section 2.01 Claim, Objection and Resolution Certificates. -------------------------------------------- (a) The Escrow Agent shall distribute to each of the Airwave Investor Indemnitors the portion of the Escrow Fund in the Account held for such Airwave Investor Indemnitor, on the sixth day after the "Airwave Escrow Termination Date" (as hereinafter defined) (subject to delays in delivering stock certificates not caused by the Escrow Agent), unless the Escrow Agent has ------ received during the period commencing on the Airwave Escrow Termination Date and ending at 5:00 pm, New York City Time on the date which is five (5) business days following the Airwave Escrow Termination Date, a certificate signed by the Secretary of Tritel (i) stating that Tritel has provided the Airwave Investor Indemnitors with notice pursuant to Section 2.02(a) of the Settlement Agreement, and (ii) setting forth the dollar amount to which Tritel claims Tritel is entitled (a "Claim Certificate"). As used herein, the "Airwave Escrow ----------------- Termination Date" shall mean the earlier to occur of (x) the date the Airwave Investor Indemnitors and Tritel definitively agree in writing that all the matters related to the Airwave Indemnity Obligation have been dismissed, settled or otherwise finally disposed of; or (y) October 15, 2001. (b) If Tritel has timely provided a Claim Certificate, on the eleventh business day following the Escrow Agent's receipt of such Claim Certificate (subject to delays in delivering stock certificates not caused by the Escrow Agent), the Escrow Agent shall (i) distribute to Tritel from the Escrow Fund by deducting from the Account of each Airwave Investor Indemnitor such Airwave Investor Indemnitor's pro rata share of such distribution (x) the dollar amount set forth in the Claim Certificate, or, in the event that an Account does not contain sufficient cash, (y) the number of Escrowed Shares which if sold at the "Market Price" (as hereinafter defined), would equal the dollar amount set forth in the Claim Certificate after deducting the cost of commissions for such sale, rounded up to the nearest whole TeleCorp Share, and (ii) shall distribute to each Airwave Investor Indemnitor the remaining balance in the Account of such Airwave Investor Indemnitor; provided, however, that notwithstanding the -------- ------- foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall not make such distribution to Tritel pursuant to (i) above from the Account of any Airwave Investor Indemnitor which on or prior to the tenth business day following the Escrow Agent's receipt of a Claim Certificate provides the Escrow Agent with a certificate stating that such Airwave Investor Indemnitor has provided Tritel with notice pursuant to Section 2.02(b) of the Settlement Agreement (an "Objection Certificate"). For purposes --------------------- of this Section 2.01, "Market Price" means the average of the closing prices for TeleCorp Shares for the ten consecutive trading days commencing 15 days before the date on which payment is made. (c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Escrow Agreement, upon the Escrow Agent's receipt, at any time, of a certificate signed by the other Parties hereto (i) stating A-3 that all indemnifiable matters pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement have been resolved, and (ii) setting forth instructions for the distribution of the Escrow Fund (a "Resolution Certificate"), the Escrow Agent shall promptly ---------- ----------- distribute the Escrow Fund in accordance with the instructions contained in such certificate and this Escrow Agreement shall terminate. (d) In the event any Airwave Investor Indemnitor timely provides an Objection Certificate, the Escrow Agent shall retain in escrow the portion of the Escrow Fund in the Account of such Airwave Investor Indemnitor(s) until the Escrow Agent receives (i) a Resolution Certificate, or (ii) instructions for the distribution of the Escrow Fund from a three member panel certifying that it is the board of arbitration that has been selected pursuant to ARTICLE IV of the Settlement Agreement, in which case the Escrow Agent shall promptly comply with such instructions.

Section 4.03 Fees and Expenses; Indemnity. The Escrow Agent shall be ---------------------------- entitled to receive a monthly fee of $175 for each full month that the Escrow Agent serves as the Escrow Agent under this Agreement. Such fee shall be payable semi-annually with the first payment payable on the date hereof. Such first payment shall be non-refundable, regardless of the date on which this Escrow Agreement terminates. Tritel shall pay half of such fee and the Airwave Investor Indemnitors shall each pay an equal portion of the remaining half of such fee. Tritel and the Airwave Investor Indemnitors shall reimburse and indemnify the Escrow Agent for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, damages, cost or expense, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, reasonably incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the Escrow Agent's performance of its duties and obligations under this Escrow Agreement, as well as the reasonable costs and expenses of defending against any claim or liability relating to this A-5 Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Tritel -------- ------- and the Airwave Investor Indemnitors shall not be required to indemnify the Escrow Agent for any such loss, liability, cost or expense arising as a result of the Escrow Agent's willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or breach of this Escrow Agreement. Section 4.04 Resignation and Removal of the Escrow Agent.

In addition, the Escrow Agent may be removed and replaced on a date designated in a written instrument jointly signed by Tritel and the Airwave Investor Indemnitors and delivered to the Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such resignation or removal shall be effective until a successor escrow agent has acknowledged its appointment as such as provided in paragraph (b) below. In either event, upon the effective date of such resignation or removal, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the property comprising the Escrow Fund to such successor escrow agent, together with such records maintained by the Escrow Agent in connection with its duties hereunder and other information with respect to the Escrow Fund as such successor may reasonably request. (a) If a successor escrow agent shall not have acknowledged its appointment as such as provided in paragraph (b) below, in the case of a resignation, prior to the expiration of thirty (30) calendar days following the date of a notice of resignation or, in the case of a removal, on the date designated for the Escrow Agent's removal, as the case may be, because Tritel and the Airwave Investor Indemnitors are unable to agree on a successor escrow agent, or for any other reason, the Escrow Agent may select a successor escrow agent and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the parties to this Escrow Agreement. (b) Upon written acknowledgment by a successor escrow agent appointed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.04 of its agreement to serve as escrow agent hereunder and the receipt of the property then comprising the Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent shall be fully released and relieved of all duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Escrow Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein, and such successor escrow agent shall for all purposes hereof be the Escrow Agent.

(b) Upon written acknowledgment by a successor escrow agent appointed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.04 of its agreement to serve as escrow agent hereunder and the receipt of the property then comprising the Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent shall be fully released and relieved of all duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Escrow Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein, and such successor escrow agent shall for all purposes hereof be the Escrow Agent.

(b) Upon written acknowledgment by a successor escrow agent appointed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.04 of its agreement to serve as escrow agent hereunder and the receipt of the property then comprising the Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent shall be fully released and relieved of all duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Escrow Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein, and such successor escrow agent shall for all purposes hereof be the Escrow Agent. 6 ARTICLE V MISCELLANEOUS Section 5.01 Amendment.
