long as is practicable.
MUTUAL AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein set forth
and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties do hereby agree as
follows:
1. Under the conditions set forth herein, to be bound by the General Terms
attached hereto, as they may be properly amended from time to time.
2. The Home Carrier shall be liable to the Serving Carrier in accordance
with Paragraph 2.1 of Appendix II for all of the service and pass-through

may include with its notice to its customers the following statement:
"NOTICE"
Previously you have been able to obtain service as a roamer in
[Serving Carrier's Service Area Affected] on [Serving Carrier's] system.
Presently, you may experience difficulty in using your service in
[Serving Carrier's Service Area Affected]. This is because [interfering
carrier] is now [testing/operating]its cellular system In [Serving
Carrier's Service Area Affected], and the difficulty is not the fault
of [Serving Carrier]."

PriCellular Parties and each of the BANM Parties, respectively, is a Licensee
or Permittee of the Domestic Public Cellular Radio Telecommunications
System(s) and Station(s) shown on the attached Appendix I-A serving the
area(s) referred to therein. PriCellular or BANM may from time to time
hereafter seek to amend Appendix I-A of this Agreement to add and or delete a

Agreement to restrict roaming service to a specific market(s) by providing
written notice at least fifteen (15) days in advance requesting the other
Party's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to
restrict roaming service in the market(s) identified in such request.
8. This Agreement anticipates that in the future an Affiliate of the Home
Carrier, as may be designated by a Home Carrier in writing, shall obtain
Wireless Service for Roamer hereunder. The Affiliate of a Home Carrier may
obtain such Wireless Service for its Roamers from a Serving Carrier under the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, provided that before any
such Wireless Service can be so obtained the Affiliate must acknowledge and
agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement by
sending such written acknowledgment to each Party. The Affiliate obtaining the
Wireless Service hereunder shall then be liable for the obligations incurred
as if such Affiliate were the Home Carrier, and the Home Carrier shall not be
liable for any obligations, acts or omissions of Affiliate.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have duly executed this Agreement
as of the date first above written.

respective authorized representatives, of all additions to, and deletions
from, these lists for the customers of that particular Party. Such
notifications shall be made during the normal business hours of PriCellular
and BANM, via the Clearinghouse, by the means set forth in Appendix III and
shall be in the form mutually agreed upon by PriCellular and BANM; and
effective as defined in Appendix III.

Parties, together with their partners and any and all of their officers,
directors, employees, agents and/or affiliates, against, and hold them
harmless from, any and all claims, suits, demands, losses and expenses,

positive validation/verification "PV" system provided by a mutually agreed
upon validation/verification service in all markets set forth in Appendix I-A.
Each Party shall provide to the other Parties, via PriCellular and BANM, a
list of all markets and their PV status in the space provided in Appendix I-A.

any market. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith on each of their
respective behalf to control fraudulent Roamer usage. All PriCellular and BANM
Parties agree to notify each other through PriCellular and BANM, respectively,
should such fraudulent usage become apparent on any Party's System. If a Party
to this Agreement has not implemented PV in each operational market to be
included in this Agreement, then Attachment B, entitled "Fraud Liability", in
a form satisfactory to PriCellular and BANM must be executed and delivered by
such Party prior to execution of this Agreement. In addition, any new
operational market that becomes operational after execution of this Agreement
shall automatically become subject to the provisions of this Agreement, except

Attachment B which is satisfactory to PriCellular and BANM shall be required
to have been executed and delivered prior to the inclusion of such market
under the provisions of this Agreement. The Parties agree that calls completed
by a Serving Carrier, either (a) after a PV request has determined that a
Roamer is not a valid customer of the Home Carrier or (b) for any unauthorized
ESN after entry to the Industry Negative File has become effective, shall be
the sole responsibility of the Serving Carrier. PV requests will be made on
all Roamer MIN;ESN combinations in accordance with Clearinghouse standard
operating procedures as noted in Appendix III.

any applicable change in its tariffs, with an effective date as specified in
Appendix III, and shall include with such notice copies of the revised pages
of such tariffs. If tariffs are not required to be filed by a certain
jurisdiction the Parties shall exchange through PriCellular and BANM the
written terms and conditions of service to be used in lieu thereof and any
amendments thereto.
3.5 All information not of public record that is exchanged pursuant to
this Agreement shall be treated as confidential. Parties obtaining such

to Section VI hereof.
4.3 Each Serving Carrier who provides Wireless Service to an Authorized
Roamer pursuant to this Agreement shall forward Roamer billing information, on
at least a weekly basis, in accordance with the procedures and standards set
forth in the CIBER Record to the Home Carrier's Authorized Receipt Point.

Roamer pursuant to this Agreement shall send the Home Carrier a paper invoice
within the time period specified in Appendix III. This invoice shall reflect
all charges relating to service for which Authorized Roamer billing
information was forwarded to the Home Carrier during the previous "Billing
Period", as defined in Appendix III. The Serving Carrier will use the
information provided by its Clearinghouse for invoice preparation and support.
The Home Carrier, shall be furnished with an invoice setting forth the same
information required in Appendix III from non-clearinghouse Serving Carriers.

record to the Serving Carrier as provided in the CIBER Record. Returning the
defective record will be in accordance with CIBER Record established
procedures. The Serving Carrier may correct the defective record and return it
to the Home Carrier for billing, provided that the time period from the date
of the call to the receipt of the corrected record does not exceed the time
period specified under "Message Date Edit" in Appendix III.

permitted except as provided in Paragraph 4.4 above, unless mutually agreed
upon by PriCellular and BANM. Any credit that is requested by the Home Carrier
must be fully documented and submitted utilizing the format set forth in
Attachment C.
V. SETTLEMENT

basis of billing information received pursuant to Section IV. hereof as of the
"Close of Billing", as that phrase is defined in Appendix III. The Home
Carrier shall remit to the Serving Carrier's designated account by wire
transfer or check such amounts as are due to the Serving Carrier as of the
Close of Billing. Carriers utilizing net settlement procedures set forth in
the CIBER Record are not required to submit a paper invoice and will make
payments in accordance with such net settlement procudures.
