4.1    The Parties shall use their best efforts to resolve any disagreements that may arise under
this Agreement. Disagreements shall be addressed, in the first instance, at the staff level by the
Parties‘ designated representatives. Any disagreement that has not been resolved at that level

that important national interests can be protected, or DT believes that its paramount commercial
interests can be resolved, only by resorting to the measures set forth in Section 4.2 of this

further negotiation would be fruitless, then that Party may resort to the remedies set forth in
Section 4.2 of this Agreement. If resolution of a disagreement requires access to Classified
Information, the Parties shall designate a person or persons possessing the appropriate security
clearances for the purpose of resolving that disagreement.

4.2     Subject to Section 4.1 of this Agreement, if any of the Parties believes that any other of
the Parties has breached or is about to breach this Agreement, that Party may bring an action
against the other Party for appropriate judicial relief.

addition to any other remedy available at law or equity, to specific performance and injunctive or
other equitable relief.

4.4    > The availability of any civil remedy under this Agreement shall not prejudice the exercise
of any other civil remedy under this Agreement or under any provision of law, nor shall any
action taken by a Party in the exercise of any remedy be considered a waiver by that Party of any
other rights or remedies. The failure of any Party to insist on strict performance of any of the
provisions of this Agreement, or to exercise any right they grant, shall not be construed as a
relinquishment or future waiver, rather, the provision or right shall continue in full force. No

agrees not to plead or claim, any such immunity with respect to matters arising with respect to
this Agreement or the obligations herein (including any obligation for the payment          money) in
any proceeding brought by a U.S. federal, state or local governmental authority. DT agrees that
the waiver in this provision is irrevocable and is not subject to withdrawal in any jurisdiction or
under any statute, including the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, 28 U.S.C. Se¢tion 1602 et
seq. The foregoing waiver shall constitute a present waiver of immunity at any time any action is
initiated by a U.S. federal, state or local governmental authority against DT wi
compliance with this Agreement.                                                /

                        authorization granted or given by the FCC to DT, or any other sanction by
                        the FCC against DT, or

                        (b)    seek civil sanctions for any violation by DT of any U.S. law or
                        regulation or term of this Agreement, or

                    ARTICLE 6: FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT

6.1     The FBI and the DOJ shall take all reasonable measures to protect from public disclosure
all information submitted by DT to the FBI or the DOJ in connection with this Agreement and
clearly marked with the legend providing "Confidential; Subject to protection under 5 U.S.C.
§ 553(b); Not to be released without notice to DT," or similar designation. Such markings shall
signify that it is the position of DT that the information so marked constitutes "trade secrets"
and/or "commercial or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or
confidential," or otherwise warrants protection within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. § 552(b). If a
request is made under 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(3) for information so marked, and disclosure of any
information (including disclosure in redacted form) is contemplated, the FBI or the DOJ, as
appropriate, shall notify Deutsche Telekom AG, pursuant to Section 5.13 of this Agreement, or
notify the submitting DT entity of the intended disclosure as provided by Executive Order 12600,
52 Fed. Reg. 23781 (June 25, 1987). If DT objects to the intended disclosure and its objections
are not sustained, the FBI or the DOJ, as appropriate, shall notify the submitting entity and
Deutsche Telekom AG of its intention to release (as provided by Section 5 of E.O. 12600) not
later than 10 business days prior to disclosure of the challenged information. This Section 6.1 is
effective upon execution of this Agreement by all the Parties.

6.2     The DOJ and the FBI acknowledge that officers and employees of the United States and
of any department or agency thereof are subject to liability under 18 U.S.C. § 1905 for unlawful
disclosure of information provided to them by the other Parties to this Agreement.

6.3    Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the FBI or the DOJ from lawfully disseminating
information as appropriate to seek enforcement of this Agreement, provided that the FBI and the
DOJ take all reasonable measures to protect from public disclosure the information marked as
described in Section 6.1.

                        ARTICLE 7: FCC CONDITION AND CFIUS

7.1     Upon the execution of this Agreement by all the Parties, the FBI and the DOJ shali
promptly notify the FCC that, provided the FCC adopts a condition substantially the same as set
forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Condition to FCC Licenses"), the FBI and the DOJ have
no objection to the FCC‘s consent to the proposed transfers of control of the authorizations
currently held by VoiceStream Wireless, Powertel, and their subsidiaries that are the subject of
the application filed with the FCC in IB Docket No. 00187, or the authority Deutsche Telekom
AG seeks to hold 100% indirect control of those licenses.

7.2     DT agrees that in its applications or petitions to the FCC for licensing or other authority
filed with the FCC after the Effective Date, except with respect to proforma assignments or pro
forma transfers of control, it shall request that the FCC condition the grant of such licensing or
other authonity on DT‘s compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The FBI and the DOJ
reserve the right to seek additional or different terms that would, consistent with the public
interest, address any threat to their ability to enforce the laws, preserve the national security and
protect the public safety raised by the transactions underlying such applications or petitions.

7.3     Provided that the FCC adopts the Condition to FCC Licenses, the Attorney General shall
not make any objection to the CFIUS or the President concerning the grant of the proposed
transfers of control of the authorizations and licenses currently held by VoiceStream Wireless
and Powertel that are the subject of the applications filed with the FCC in IB Docket No. O0187,
the authority Deutsche Telekom AG seeks to hold 100% indirect control of those licenses and
authorizations, or Deutsche Telekom AG‘s mergers with VoiceStream and Powertel. This
commitment, however, does not extend to any objection the Attorney General may wish to raise
with the CFIUS or the President in the event that (a) DT fails to comply with the terms of this
Agreement, (b) the Attorney General learns that the representations of Deutsche Telekom AG,
VoiceStream or Powertel made to the DOJ, the FBI, or the FCC above are materially untrue or
incomplete, (c) there is a material increase in the authority of a foreign entity to exercise Control
of DT, or (d) there is any other material change in the circumstances associated with the
transactions at issue.



            ARTICLE 8: PREVIOUS AGREEMENTS WITH VOICESTREAM


8.1     VoiceStream remains bound to comply with its obligations imposed pursuant to the

before, all the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 below are met.

8.2     The agreement between VoiceStream and the FBI and the DOJ dated January 26, 2000
shall terminate upon, and only upon, the happening of all the following events: (a) the Parties,
and each of them, execute this Agreement, (b) the FCC adopts the Condition to FCC Licenses
and (c) Deutsche Telekom AG, VoiceStream Wireless, and all other necessary parties
successfully and fully consummate the proposed transactions between VoiceStream and
Deutsche Telekom, and their respective subsidiaries that underlay the applications for authority
of Deutsche Telekom AG and VoiceStream Wireless filed with the FCC in IB Docket No. 00187
under sections 214 and 310(d) of the Act.

other U.S. and foreign licensed service providers in like circumstances in order to protect U.S.
national security, law enforcement, and public safety concerns. Any substantial modification to
this Agreement shall be reported to the FCC within 30 days after approval in writing by the
