adverse effect on, or any material inaccuracy in a representation or warranty

outstanding prior to the completion of the Powertel Merger, and, in the event
that Powertel declares such dividend, that the exchange ratios for the exchange
of the outstanding Powertel preferred stock be proportionately adjusted, (iii)
agreeing that if all the conditions to completion of the Powertel Merger are
satisfied or waived as of a date that is earlier than May 31, 2001, including
the condition that no material adverse effect on Powertel shall have occurred,
