AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

This AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT is entered into as of August 31, 2007 (the “Amendment Date”), among ATLANTIC TELE-NETWORK, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), COBANK, ACB (individually, “CoBank”), as Administrative Agent, Arranger, an Issuing Lender and a Lender, BANCO POPULAR DE PUERTO RICO, as an Issuing Lender and a Lender, and such other Lenders as may from time to time become a party to this Agreement. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in Subsection 10.1.

R E C I T A L S:

WHEREAS, Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders previously entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of September 15, 2005 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which Lenders extended certain financial accommodations to Borrower consisting of the Revolver Facility, and the Term Loan Facility, the proceeds of which are available to fund Borrower’s purchase of 95% of the outstanding membership interests of Commnet Wireless, LLC (“Commnet”), to repay in full all outstanding principal of and interest on all indebtedness of Commnet and its Subsidiaries, to provide funds for the capital expenditures of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, to provide funds for the working capital needs and other general corporate purposes of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and to finance certain costs associated with the Facilities; and

WHEREAS, Borrower has secured all of its Obligations under the Loan Documents by granting to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, a first priority security interest in and lien upon all or substantially all of its now owned or hereafter acquired personal and real property; and

WHEREAS, Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders have agreed to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement as described herein, to provide for Letters of Credit and for certain other amendments described herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree, and amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety, as follows:

SECTION 1
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF FACILITIES

1.1 Facilities. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants of Borrower contained herein and in the other Loan Documents:

(A) Revolver Facility. Each Lender, severally and not jointly, agrees to lend to Borrower, from time to time during the period commencing on the date all conditions precedent set forth in Subsections 7.1 and 7.2 are satisfied or waived as provided herein and ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the Revolver Expiration Date, its Pro Rata Share of each Revolver Loan; provided that no Lender shall be required at any time to lend more than its respective Pro Rata Share of the Available Revolver Loan Commitment; and provided, further, that at any one time the aggregate principal amount of the Revolver Loans outstanding may not exceed the Revolver Loan Commitment less the outstanding Letter of Credit Liability. Within the limits of and subject to the Available Revolver Loan Commitment, this Subsection 1.1(A) and Subsections 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8, amounts borrowed under this Subsection 1.1(A) may be repaid or prepaid and, at any time up to and including the Business Day immediately preceding the Revolver Expiration Date, reborrowed.

(B) Term Loan Facility. Each Lender, severally and not jointly, agrees to lend to Borrower, in a single advance on the Closing Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment; provided all conditions precedent set forth in Subsections 7.1 and 7.2 are satisfied or waived as provided herein. Amounts borrowed under this Subsection 1.1(B) that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(C) Notes. Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender a Revolver Note and a Term Note, dated the Closing Date, in the principal amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolver Loan Commitment and the Term Loan Commitment, respectively.

(D) Advances. Loans will be made available by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Wire transfers will be made to such account or accounts as may be authorized by Borrower. Advances under the Term Loan are only available on the Closing Date.

(E) Letters of Credit. The Revolver Loan Commitment shall, in addition to advances as Revolver Loans, be utilized, upon the request of Borrower, for the issuance of irrevocable letters of credit (individually, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) by an Issuing Lender for the account of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit, and without further action on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lenders, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolver Loan Commitment of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall reduce the amount available under the Revolver Loan Commitment by the maximum amount capable of being drawn under such Letter of Credit.

(i) Maximum Amount. The aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liability with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding at any time for the account of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may not exceed $1,000,000 and the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liability with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding for the account of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries plus the aggregate principal amount of Revolver Loans outstanding at any time may not exceed the Revolver Loan Commitment.

(ii) Reimbursement. Borrower is irrevocably and unconditionally obligated without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind to reimburse

an Issuing Lender in immediately available funds for any amounts paid by an Issuing Lender with respect to a Letter of Credit issued hereunder for the account of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify Borrower and Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender through Administrative Agent in the amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If Borrower fails to so reimburse the Issuing Lender by such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested Administrative Agent to make a Revolver Loan in the amount of the payment made by such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit, provided that, after giving effect to such Revolver Loan, the outstanding amount of all Revolver Loans shall not exceed the Revolver Loan Commitment. If the Letter of Credit is payable in a foreign currency, the amount owed by Borrower in connection with such Letter of Credit shall equal the United States dollar equivalent of such foreign currency (determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) on the date such payment is made by such Issuing Lender. All amounts paid by an Issuing Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit that are not immediately repaid by Borrower or that are not repaid with a Revolver Loan shall bear interest at the sum of the Base Rate plus 1% per annum. Each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Revolver Loan made pursuant to this Subsection 1.1(E)(2). In the event Administrative Agent elects not to debit Borrower’s account and Borrower fails to reimburse an Issuing Lender in full on the date of any payment in respect of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender the amount of such unreimbursed payment and the accrued interest thereon and each such Lender, on the next Business Day, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof in same day funds. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender upon demand by such Issuing Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each payment made by such Issuing Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit and not immediately reimbursed by Borrower. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligations to acquire participations pursuant to this Subsection 1.1(E)(2) in respect of Letters of Credit and to make the payments to each Issuing Lender required by the preceding sentence are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or any failure by Borrower to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Subsection 7.2. If any Lender fails to make available to an Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any payments made by such Issuing Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit as provided in this Subsection 1.1(E)(2), such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at the Base Rate.

(iii) Conditions of Issuance of Letters of Credit. In addition to all other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the conditions precedent that the Letter of Credit shall be in such form, be for such amount, and contain such terms and conditions as are reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender. The expiration date of each Letter of Credit must be on a date which is the earlier of one year from its date of issuance or

the 30th day before the date set forth in clause (ii) of the definition of the term “Revolver Loan Expiration Date,” or such other date as agreed to by both Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, in their sole discretion.

(iv) Request for Letters of Credit. Borrower must give Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice, which notice will be irrevocable, specifying the date a Letter of Credit is requested to be issued and the amount and the currency in which such Letter of Credit is payable, identifying the beneficiary and describing the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby. Any notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be accompanied by the form of the Letter of Credit to be provided by an Issuing Lender. Borrower must also complete any application procedures and documents required by an Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, including a certificate regarding Borrower’s compliance with the provisions of Subsection 7.2 of this Agreement.

(v) Borrower Obligations Absolute. The obligations of Borrower under this Subsection 1.1(E) are irrevocable, will remain in full force and effect until the Issuing Lender and Lenders have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit, shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be subject to counterclaim, setoff or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(1) Any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents or instruments relating to any Letter of Credit;

(2) Any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment, modification or waiver of or any consent to or departure from any Letter of Credit, any documents or instruments relating thereto, or any Loan Document in each case whether or not Borrower or its Subsidiaries has notice or knowledge thereof;

(3) The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrower or its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated hereby or any other related or unrelated transaction or transactions (including any underlying transaction between Borrower or its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(4) Any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, telecopier or otherwise, or any errors in translation or in interpretation of technical terms;

(5) Payment under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(6) Any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under any Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided that any draft, certificate or other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit appears on its face to comply with the terms thereof), any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary or any transferee of the proceeds of such drawing or any other act or omission of such beneficiary or transferee in connection with such Letter of Credit;

(7) The exchange, release, surrender or impairment of any collateral or other security for the obligations;

(8) The occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or

(9) Any other circumstance or event whatsoever, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower, any Subsidiary or a guarantor.

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, is binding upon Borrower and its Subsidiaries and shall not create or result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. It is expressly agreed that, for purposes of determining whether a wrongful payment under a Letter of Credit resulted from such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, none of the following shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Issuing Lender: (i) Issuing Lender’s acceptance of documents that appear on their face to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further investigation, (ii) Issuing Lender’s exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect (so long as such document appears on its face to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and

(iii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof.

(vi) Obligations of Issuing Lenders. Each Issuing Lender (other than CoBank) hereby agrees that it will not issue a Letter of Credit hereunder until it has provided Administrative Agent with written notice specifying the amount and intended issuance date of such Letter of Credit and Administrative Agent has returned a written acknowledgment of such notice to Issuing Lender. Each Issuing Lender (other than CoBank) further agrees to provide to Administrative Agent: (a) a copy of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender promptly after its issuance; (ii) a monthly report summarizing available amounts under Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, the dates and amounts of any draws under such Letters of Credit, the effective date of any increase or decrease in the face amount of any Letters of Credit during such month and the amount of any unreimbursed draws under such Letters of Credit; and (iii) such additional information reasonably requested by Administrative Agent from time to time with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender.

(vii) UCP. The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published from time to time by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “UCP”) is hereby incorporated in this Agreement and shall be deemed incorporated by this reference into each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement. The terms and conditions of the UCP shall be binding on the parties to this Agreement and each beneficiary of any Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement.

1.2 Interest.

(A) Interest Options.

(i) From the date each Loan is made, based upon the election of Borrower, at such time and from time to time thereafter (as provided in Subsection 1.3 and subject to the conditions set forth in such Subsection and Subsection 1.2(G)), each such Loan shall accrue interest as follows:

(1) as a Base Rate Loan, at the sum of the Base Rate plus 1% per annum; or

(2) as a LIBOR Loan, for the applicable LIBOR Interest Period, at the sum of LIBOR plus the LIBOR Margin applicable to such Loan from time to time as provided in Subsection 1.2(B); or

(3) for the Term Loan only, as a Quoted Rate Loan, at a fixed annual interest rate (the “Quoted Rate”) to be quoted by CoBank in its sole and absolute discretion. Under this option, the interest rate may be fixed for periods ranging from 180 days to the Term Loan Maturity Date (each such period, a “Quoted Rate Interest Period”); provided, however, that a Quoted Rate Interest Period may only expire on a Business Day; and provided, however, further, that there initially shall be

a Quoted Rate Interest Period for the full amount of the Term Loan from the Closing Date to the Term Loan Maturity Date at a fixed per annum interest rate of 5.85%; and

(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Subsections 1.2(E) and 6.6, interest on all other Obligations not paid when due will accrue at the Base Rate plus 1% per annum.

(B) Applicable Margins.

Initially, and continuing through the day immediately preceding the first Adjustment Date occurring on or after September 30, 2005 on which Borrower demonstrates that a change in the LIBOR Margin is warranted and requests such change in writing, the LIBOR Margin shall be 1.50%. Commencing on such Adjustment Date, the applicable Base Rate Margin and LIBOR Margin for any Revolver Loan and any Term Loan shall be for each Calculation Period the per annum percentage set forth in the pricing table below opposite the applicable Total Leverage Ratio of Borrower, determined on a consolidated basis for Borrower and its Subsidiaries; provided, that effective (i) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such Event of Default is cured or waived or (ii) in the event that Administrative Agent shall not receive the financial statements and Compliance Certificate required pursuant to Subsections 4.5(A), 4.5(B) and 4.5(C) when due, from such due date and until the fifth Business Day following Administrative Agent’s receipt of such overdue financial statements and Compliance Certificate (and in the event a decrease in the applicable margin is then warranted, receipt of Borrower’s written request to decrease such margin), the LIBOR Rate Margin shall be 1.50% per annum.

PRICING TABLE — Revolver Loan and Term Loan

Total Leverage Ratio	LIBOR Margin
> 1.5x	1.50	%
< 1.5x	1.25	%

(C) Interest Periods. Each LIBOR Loan may be obtained for a one, two, three, six, nine or 12 month period (each such period being an “LIBOR Interest Period”). With respect to all LIBOR Loans:

(i) the LIBOR Interest Period will commence on the date that the LIBOR Loan is made or the date on which any portion of the Base Rate Loan is converted into a LIBOR Loan, or, in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the immediately preceding LIBOR Interest Period expires;

(ii) if the LIBOR Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, then it will expire on the next Business Day; provided, that if any LIBOR Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day and such day is the last Business Day of a calendar month, such LIBOR Interest Period shall expire on the Business Day next preceding such day;

(iii) any LIBOR Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the last calendar month in such LIBOR Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the last calendar month in such LIBOR Interest Period; and

(iv) no LIBOR Interest Period shall be selected that extends beyond the Revolver Expiration Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(D) Calculation and Payment. Interest on Loans including amounts due under Subsection 1.4, shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. The date of funding or conversion to a Base Rate Loan and the first day of an Interest Period shall be included in the calculation of interest. The date of payment (as determined in Subsection 1.5) of any Loan and the last day of an Interest Period shall be excluded from the calculation of interest; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day that it is made, one day’s interest shall be charged.

Interest accruing on Base Rate Loans and Quoted Rate Loans is payable in arrears on each of the following dates or events: (i) the last day of each calendar quarter; (ii) the prepayment of such Loan (or portion thereof), to the extent accrued on the principal prepaid; and (iii) the Term Loan Maturity Date or the Revolver Expiration Date, as the case may be, whether by acceleration or otherwise. Interest accruing on each LIBOR Loan is payable in arrears on each of the following dates or events: (i) the last day of each applicable LIBOR Interest Period; (ii) if the LIBOR Interest Period is longer than three months, on each three-month anniversary of the commencement date of such LIBOR Interest Period; (iii) the prepayment of such Loan (or portion thereof), to the extent accrued on the principal prepaid; and (iv) the Term Loan Maturity Date or the Revolver Expiration Date, as the case may be, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

(E) Default Rate of Interest. At the election of Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders, after the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as it continues, all Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest at rates that are 2% in excess of the rates otherwise in effect, including, without limitation, rates in effect pursuant to the proviso in the second sentence of Subsection 1.2(B), with respect to such Loans and other Obligations.

(F) Excess Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the aggregate interest, fees and other amounts required to be paid by Borrower to Lenders or any Lender hereunder are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the Indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lenders or any Lender for the use or the forbearance of the Indebtedness or Obligations evidenced hereby exceed the maximum permissible under Applicable Law. If under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents at the time of performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit of such validity prescribed by Applicable Law then the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limit of such validity and if under or from circumstances whatsoever Lenders or any Lender should ever receive as interest any amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, the amount of such interest that is excessive shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations evidenced hereby and not to the payment of interest.

Additionally, should the method used for calculating interest (i.e., using a 360-day year) be unlawful, such calculation method shall be automatically changed to a 365-6-day year or such other lawful calculation method as is reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. This provision shall control every other provision of this Agreement and all provisions of every other Loan Document.

(G) Selection, Conversion or Continuation of Loans; LIBOR and Quoted Rate Availability. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, Borrower shall have the option to (i) select all or any part of a new borrowing to be a Base Rate Loan, a LIBOR Loan or, only under the Term Loan Facility, a Quoted Rate Loan, in the case of a Base Rate Loan in a principal amount equal to at least $100,000, in the case of a LIBOR Loan in a principal amount equal to $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, or, only under the Term Loan Facility, a Quoted Rate Loan in a principal amount equal to $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) convert at any time all or any portion of a Base Rate Loan in a principal amount equal to $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof into a LIBOR Loan or, only under the Term Loan Facility, in a principal amount equal to $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into a Quoted Rate Loan, (iii) upon the expiration of its Interest Period, convert all or any part of any LIBOR Loan or, only under the Term Loan Facility, a Quoted Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, and (iv) upon the expiration of its Interest Period, continue any LIBOR Loan or, only under the Term Loan Facility, a Quoted Rate Loan into one or more LIBOR Loans in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof or, only under the Term Loan Facility, one or more Quoted Rate Loans in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, for such new Interest Period(s) as selected by Borrower. Each LIBOR Loan shall be made under any one of the Revolver Facility or the Term Loan Facility, but may not be made under more than one Facility concurrently. During any period in which any Default or Event of Default is continuing, as the Interest Periods for LIBOR Loans or Quoted Rate Loans then in effect expire, such Loans shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan and the LIBOR and Quoted Rate options will not be available to Borrower until all Defaults and Events of Default are cured or waived. In the event Borrower fails to elect a LIBOR Loan or Quoted Rate Loan upon any advance hereunder or upon the termination of any Interest Period, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to have such amount constitute a Base Rate Loan. There shall be no more than an aggregate of five LIBOR Loans and Quoted Rate Loans Outstanding at any one time.

1.3 Notice of Borrowing, Conversion or Continuation of Loans. Whenever Borrower desires to request a Loan pursuant to Subsection 1.1(A) or (B) or to convert or continue Loans pursuant to Subsection 1.2(G), Borrower shall give Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.3 (a “Notice of Borrowing/Conversion/Continuation”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (Denver, Colorado time) three Business Days before the proposed borrowing, conversion or continuation is to be effective. Each Notice of Borrowing/Conversion/Continuation shall specify (i) the Loan (or portion thereof) to be advanced, converted or continued and, with respect to any LIBOR Loan or Quoted Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, (ii) the effective date of such borrowing, conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of such Loan to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Interest Period to be applicable to any new LIBOR Loan or Quoted Rate Loan, and (v) the Facility under which such borrowing, conversion or continuation is to be made.

Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt written notice of any Notice of Borrowing/Conversion/Continuation given on by Borrower.

1.4 Fees and Expenses.

(A) Unused Commitment Fees. From the Closing Date, Borrower shall be obligated to pay Administrative Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders (based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Revolver Loan Commitment), a fee (the “Revolver Commitment Fee”) in an amount equal to (i) the Revolver Loan Commitment less the sum of (a) the average daily outstanding balance of Revolver Loans plus (b) the average daily outstanding Letter of Credit Liability, in each case during the preceding calendar quarter multiplied by (ii) .375% calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Such fees are to be paid quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter for such calendar quarter (or portion thereof), with the final such payment due on the Revolver Expiration Date.

(B) Certain Other Fees. Borrower shall be obligated to pay to CoBank, individually, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the letter agreement dated July 22, 2005, between Borrower and CoBank and to the Administrative Agent fees in the amounts specified in the letter agreement dated as of the Amendment Date, between Borrower and Administrative Agent.

(C) Breakage Fee. Upon any repayment or payment of a LIBOR Loan or Quoted Rate Loan on any day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (regardless of the source of such repayment or prepayment and whether voluntary, mandatory, by acceleration or otherwise), Borrower shall be obligated to pay Administrative Agent, for the benefit of all affected Lenders, an amount (the “Breakage Fee”) equal to the present value of any losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss (including interest paid) sustained by each such affected Lender in connection with the reemployment of such funds) that any such affected Lender may sustain as a result of the payment of such LIBOR Loan or Quoted Rate Loan on such day. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to Lenders under this Subsection 1.4(C), each LIBOR Loan or Quoted Rate Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBOR rate for such LIBOR Loan or Quoted Rate for such Quoted Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank eurocurrency market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Loan or Quoted Rate Loan is in fact so funded. In addition, upon any repayment or prepayment of a LIBOR Loan or Quoted Rate Loan on any day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (regardless of the source of such repayment or prepayment and whether voluntary, mandatory, by acceleration or otherwise), Borrower shall be obligated to pay Administrative Agent, not for the benefit of Lenders, an administrative fee of $300.

(D) Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees. In addition to fees due under Subsections 1.4(A) and 1.4(B), Borrower agrees to pay promptly all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including those of attorneys) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with (i) any matters contemplated by or arising out of the Loan Documents, (ii) the continued administration of the Loan Documents, including any such fees, costs and expenses incurred in perfecting, maintaining, determining the priority of and releasing any security and any tax payable in connection

with any Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications and waivers. In addition to fees due under Subsections 1.4(A) and (B), Borrower shall also reimburse on demand each of Administrative Agent and Banco Popular de Puerto Rico for its expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the documenting and closing the transactions contemplated herein. In addition to fees due under Subsections 1.4(A) and (B), Borrower agrees to pay promptly (i) all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by Administrative and Lenders in connection with any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification of any of the Loan Documents and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by each of Administrative Agent and Lenders in connection with any Default or Event of Default and any enforcement of collection proceeding resulting therefrom or any workout or restructuring of any of the transactions hereunder or contemplated thereby or any action to enforce any Loan Document or to collect any payments due from Borrower. All fees, costs and expenses for which Borrower is responsible under this Subsection 1.4(D) shall be deemed part of the Obligations when incurred, payable upon demand and in accordance with the second paragraph of Subsection 1.5 and shall be secured by the Collateral.

(E) Letter of Credit Fees. From the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay Administrative Agent for the account of all Lenders committed to make Revolver Loans (based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares) a fee for each Letter of Credit from the date of issuance to the date of termination in an amount equal to the applicable LIBOR Margin per annum multiplied by the face amount of such Letter of Credit. Such fee shall be payable to Administrative Agent for the benefit of all Lenders committed to make Revolver Loans (based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares). Such fee is to be paid quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and the termination of the Letter of Credit. With respect to each Letter of Credit, Borrower shall also pay Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender issuing such Letter of Credit, an issuance fee equal to the greater of (1) $100 or (ii) 0.125% of the face amount of such Letter of Credit, which amount shall be paid upon the date of issuance and, if the expiration date of such Letter of Credit is later than one year from its date of issuance, upon each anniversary of the date of issuance during the term of such Letter of Credit.

1.5 Payments. All payments by Borrower of the Obligations shall be made in same day funds and delivered to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, as applicable, by wire transfer to the following account or such other place as Administrative Agent may from time to time designate:

CoBank, ACB
Greenwood Village, Colorado
ABA Number 0000-0000-0
Reference: CoBank for the benefit of ATN

Borrower shall receive credit on the day of receipt for funds received by Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. (Denver, Colorado time) on any Business Day. Funds received on any Business Day after such time shall be deemed to have been paid on the next Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest and fees due hereunder.

Borrower authorizes Lenders to make (but Lenders shall not be obligated to make) a Base Rate Loan under the Revolver Facility, on the basis of the Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares of the Revolver Facility, for the payment of interest, commitment fees, Breakage Fees and any other costs and expenses due hereunder at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default without prior notice to Borrower, provided that Administrative Agent shall give Borrower notice thereof promptly thereafter although the failure of Administrative Agent to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such Base Rate Loan.

To the extent Borrower or any other party or Person makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders or for the benefit of Administrative Agent in its individual capacity, which payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, or any combination of the foregoing (whether by demand, litigation, settlement or otherwise), then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Administrative Agent.

Each payment received by Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any Note for account of any Lender shall be remitted by Administrative Agent to such Lender promptly after Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof, and such remittance shall be made in immediately available funds for the account of such Lender for the Loans or other obligation in respect of which such payment is made.

1.6 Repayments of Loans and Reduction of the Revolver Loan Commitment.

(A) Scheduled Termination of Revolver Loan Commitment and Repayments of the Term Loan.

(1) Scheduled Termination of Revolver Loan Commitment. In addition to any reduction pursuant to Subsections 1.6(B) and 1.6(C), the Revolver Loan Commitment shall be permanently terminated in full on the Revolver Expiration Date, and any outstanding principal balance of the Revolver Loans not sooner due and payable will become due and payable on the Revolver Expiration Date.

(2) Scheduled Repayments of the Term Loan. In addition to any repayments pursuant to Subsections 1.7 and 1.8, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan not sooner due and payable will become due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(B) Reductions Resulting From Mandatory Repayments. The Revolver Loan Commitment also will be permanently reduced to the extent and in the amount that Borrower is required, pursuant to Subsection 1.8, to apply mandatory repayments to be made pursuant to Subsection 1.7(B), (C) and (D) to the Revolver Facility (whether or not any Revolver Loans are then outstanding and available to be repaid). All reductions provided for in this Subsection 1.6(B) shall be in addition to the voluntary reductions provided for in Subsection 1.6(C) and, accordingly, may

result in the termination of the Revolver Loan Commitment prior to the date set forth in clause (ii) of the definition of the term Revolver Expiration Date.

(C) Voluntary Reduction of the Revolver Loan Commitment. Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, to terminate or permanently reduce the then unused portion of the Revolver Loan Commitment. Each partial reduction shall be in a minimum amount of at least $250,000, or any whole multiple thereof in excess thereof, and shall be applied as to each Lender based upon its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayment made in connection therewith, the aggregate principal balance of the Revolver Loans then outstanding under the Revolver Facility plus the amount of the Letter of Credit Liability would exceed the Revolver Loan Commitment as so reduced. All reductions elected under this Subsection 1.6(C) shall be in addition to the reductions in the Revolver Loan Commitment provided for in Subsections 1.6(A)(1) and 1.6(B) and, accordingly, may result in the termination of the Revolver Loan Commitment prior to the date set forth in clause (ii) of the definition of the term Revolver Expiration Date.

(D) Mandatory Repayments. If at any time the aggregate outstanding amount of Revolver Loans plus the amount of the Letter of Credit Liability exceeds the Revolver Loan Commitment, Borrower shall be obligated to repay promptly the Revolver Loans or reduce the Letter of Credit Liability pursuant to Subsection 1.16 in an amount at least sufficient to reduce the aggregate principal balance of such Revolver Loans then outstanding plus the amount of the Letter of Credit Liability to the amount of the Revolver Loan Commitment, and until such repayment is made, Lenders shall not be obligated to make any additional Revolver Loans. Any repayments pursuant to this Subsection 1.6(D) shall be paid and applied in accordance with Subsection 1.8 and must be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid and any applicable Breakage Fees.

1.7 Voluntary Prepayments and Other Mandatory Repayments.

(A) Voluntary Prepayment of Loans. Subject to the provisions of Subsection 1.8 and the notice requirement in the following sentence, at any time, Borrower may prepay (i) the Base Rate Loan, in whole or in part, without penalty, and (ii) any LIBOR Loan or Quoted Rate Loan, in whole or in part, upon payment of applicable Breakage Fees. Notice of any prepayment of (a) a Base Rate Loan shall be given not later than 11 a.m. (Denver, Colorado time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of prepayment, and (b) a LIBOR Loan or Quoted Rate Loan shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. (Denver, Colorado time) on the third Business Day immediately preceding the date of prepayment. All partial prepayments shall be in a minimum amount of at least $250,000, or any whole multiple thereof in excess thereof (or the entire remaining balance of the applicable Loan Commitment), and shall be paid and applied in accordance with Subsection 1.8. All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. All prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount prepaid and any applicable Breakage Fees.

(B) Repayments from Insurance Proceeds. Immediately upon receipt thereof, Borrower shall be obligated to repay the Loans (or reduce the Letter of Credit Liability pursuant to Subsection 1.16) in an amount equal to all Net Proceeds received by Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower that are insurance proceeds from any Asset Disposition (which Asset Disposition, together

with all other such Asset Dispositions covered by this Subsection 1.7(B), exceeds $3,000,000 in the aggregate over the term of this Agreement); provided, however, that if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be required to repay the Loans with the Net Proceeds if Borrower or such Subsidiary (i) has previously applied cash or (ii) applies such Net Proceeds, to repair or replace the lost, damaged or destroyed assets within 180 days of receipt by Borrower or such Subsidiary of such Net Proceeds. All such repayments shall be paid and applied in accordance with Subsection 1.8. All prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount prepaid and any applicable Breakage Fees.

(C) Repayments from Certain Asset Dispositions. Immediately upon receipt thereof, Borrower shall be obligated to repay the Loans (or reduce the Letter of Credit Liability pursuant to Subsection 1.16) in an amount equal to all Net Proceeds by Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower that are from Asset Dispositions, other than insurance proceeds or from Asset Dispositions permitted pursuant to Subsection 3.7; provided, however, that if (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the aggregate of all such Net Proceeds during the 12-month period ending on the date of such proposed reinvestment does not exceed 5% of Borrower’s then amount of consolidated assets, Borrower shall not be required to repay the Loans with the Net Proceeds if Borrower or such Subsidiary applies such Net Proceeds to acquire equipment or other assets that are used or useful in the business of Borrower and or such Subsidiary within 180 days of receipt by Borrower or such Subsidiary of such Net Proceeds. All such repayments shall be paid and applied in accordance with Subsection 1.8. All prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount prepaid and any applicable Breakage Fees.

(D) Repayments from Debt Issuances. Immediately upon receipt by Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower of Net Proceeds relating to the issuance by Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower of any public or private debt (other than pursuant to Subsection 3.1), Borrower shall be obligated to repay the Loans (or reduce the Letter of Credit Liability pursuant to Subsection 1.16) in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds. All such repayments shall be paid and applied in accordance with Subsection 1.8. All prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount prepaid and any applicable Breakage Fees.

1.8 Application of Prepayments and Repayments; Payment of Breakage Fees, Etc. Absent a prior written direction from Borrower to apply any repayment made pursuant to Subsection 1.7(B) through (D) to the principal balance of the Term Loan facility, each such repayment shall be first applied to reduce the Revolver Loan Commitment (and, to the extent as a result thereof the Revolver Loan Commitment exceeds the then outstanding principal balance of the Revolver Loans plus the amount of the Letter of Credit Liability, to repay the Revolver Loans (or reduce the Letter of Credit Liability pursuant to Subsection 1.16)). After the Revolver Loan Facility is repaid and the Revolver Loan Commitment reduced in full, each repayment made pursuant to Subsection 1.7(B) through (D) shall be applied to the principal balance of Term Loan Facility. All repayments made pursuant to Subsections 1.6 and 1.7 shall first be applied to a Base Rate Loan or such of the LIBOR Loans or Quoted Rate Loans as Borrower shall direct in writing and, in the absence of such direction, shall first be applied to a Base Rate Loan and then to such LIBOR Loans and then to such Quoted Rate Loans as Administrative Agent shall select. All prepayments and repayments required or permitted hereunder shall be accompanied by payment of all applicable Breakage Fees and accrued interest on

the amount prepaid or repaid. All prepayments and repayments applied to the Term Loan shall be applied to principal installments in the inverse order of maturity.

1.9 Loan Accounts. Administrative Agent will maintain loan account records for (i) all Loans, interest charges and payments thereof, (ii) all Letter of Credit Liability, (iii) the charging and payment of all fees, costs and expenses and (iv) all other debits and credits pursuant to this Agreement. The balance in the loan accounts shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Lenders, absent manifest error, provided that any failure by Administrative Agent to maintain such records shall not limit or affect Borrower’s obligation to pay. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments and Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that Administrative Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply payments to any of the Obligations in any manner it deems appropriate.

1.10 Changes in LIBOR Rate Availability. (A) If with respect to any proposed LIBOR Interest Period, Administrative Agent or any Lender (after consultation with Administrative Agent) determines that deposits in dollars (in the applicable amount) are not being offered in the relevant market for such LIBOR Interest Period, or Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of 50% or more under a Facility determine (and notify Administrative Agent) that the LIBOR rate applicable pursuant to Subsection 1.2(A)(1) for any requested LIBOR Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan under such Facility does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to Borrower and Lenders, whereupon and until such affected Lender or Lenders notifies Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and the other Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such situation no longer exist, the obligations of any affected Lender to make its portion of such type of LIBOR Loan shall be suspended and such affected Lender shall make its Pro Rata Share of such type of LIBOR Loans as a Base Rate Loan or such other type of Loan as permitted by Administrative Agent. Any Lender may, in its sole discretion, waive the benefits and provisions of this Subsection with respect to any proposed LIBOR Interest Period.

(B) If the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, in each case occurring after the Closing Date, shall make it unlawful or impossible for one or more Lenders to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower and all other Lenders. Thereafter, until such Lender or Lenders notifies Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and the other Lenders that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of such Lender or Lenders to make LIBOR Loans and the right of Borrower to convert any Loan of such Lender or Lenders to a LIBOR Loan or continue any Loan of such Lender or Lenders as a LIBOR Loan shall be suspended and (ii) if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain a LIBOR Loan to the end of the then current LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto, such Loan shall immediately be converted to the Base Rate Loan.

1.11 Capital Adequacy and Other Adjustments.

(A) If after the Closing Date there occurs the introduction, or change in the interpretation, of any law, rule, or regulation the effect of which would increase the reserve requirement or otherwise increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining a LIBOR Loan, then Administrative Agent, on behalf of all affected Lenders, shall submit a certificate to Borrower setting forth the amount and demonstrating the calculation of such increased cost. Borrower shall be obligated to pay the amount of such increased cost to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the affected Lenders within 15 days after receipt of such certificate. Such certificate shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. There is no limitation on the number of times such a certificate may be submitted; provided that any such certificate may not seek increased costs for any period prior to the date that is six months prior to the date of such certificate.

(B) In the event that the adoption after the Closing Date of any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi-governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or order regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements or compliance by any Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) from any central bank or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction does or shall have the effect of increasing the amount of capital, reserves or other funds required to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and thereby reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, then Borrower shall be obligated, from time to time within 15 days after notice and demand from such Lender (together with the certificate referred to in the next sentence and with a copy to Administrative Agent), to pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to the amount of such cost and showing the basis of the computation of such cost submitted by such Lender to Borrower and Administrative Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. There is no limitation on the number of times such a certificate may be submitted; provided that any such certificate may not seek increased costs for any period prior to the date that is six months prior to the date of such certificate.

1.12 Optional Prepayment/Replacement of Lender in Respect of Increased Costs. Within 15 days after receipt by Borrower of written notice and demand from any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) for payment of additional costs as provided in Subsections 1.11, 1.13 or 1.14 or if it becomes illegal or impossible for any Lender to continue to fund or to make LIBOR Loans pursuant to Subsection 1.10(B), as a result of any condition described in either of such Subsections, then, unless such Lender has theretofore removed or cured the conditions creating the cause for such obligation to pay such additional amounts or for such illegality or impossibility, Borrower may, at its option, notify Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender of its intention to do one of the following:

(A) Borrower may obtain, at Borrower’s expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for such Affected Lender, which Replacement Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. In the event Borrower obtains a Replacement Lender within 90 days following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Lender shall sell and assign its Loans and

its obligations under the Loan Commitments to such Replacement Lender at a price (including accrued interest) that is reasonably acceptable to the Affected Lender and the Replacement Lender, provided that Borrower has reimbursed such Affected Lender for its increased costs for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment; or

(B) Borrower may prepay in full all outstanding Obligations owed to such Affected Lender and terminate such Affected Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan Commitments, in which case the Loan Commitments will be permanently reduced by the amount of such Pro Rata Share. Borrower shall, within 90 days following notice of its intention to do so, prepay in full all outstanding Obligations owed to such Affected Lender (including all applicable Breakage Fees and such Affected Lender’s increased costs for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such prepayment), and terminate such Affected Lender’s obligations under the Loan Commitments. Any such prepayment pursuant to this Subsection 1.12(B) shall be applied in accordance with Subsection 1.8 (except that such prepayment shall be solely for the account of the Affected Lender and not for the account of all the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares) and shall be accompanied by payment of all applicable Breakage Fees and accrued interest on the amount repaid.

1.13 Taxes.

(A) No Deductions. Any and all payments or reimbursements made hereunder or under the Notes shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding such taxes imposed on net income, herein “Tax Liabilities”), excluding, however, franchise taxes and taxes imposed on the net income of a Lender or Administrative Agent by the federal, state, local or foreign taxing authorities in the jurisdiction in which the principal place of business of such Lender or Administrative Agent is located. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any such amounts from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or Administrative Agent, then, except as provided in Subsection 1.13(B) and the last sentence of this Subsection 1.13(A), the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, such Lender or Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender that fails to provide Borrower and Administrative Agent a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 will be subject to backup withholding on payments to such Lender without any gross-up hereunder.

(B) Foreign Lenders. Each Lender which would be considered a foreign lender under the IRC (“Foreign Lender”) as to which payments made under this Agreement or under the Notes is exempt for withholding tax under the IRC or is subject to withholding tax at a reduced rate under an applicable statute or tax treaty shall provide to Borrower and Administrative Agent (i) a properly completed and executed United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States certifying as to such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to such exemption or reduced rate of withholding with respect to payments to be made to such Foreign Lender under this Agreement and under the Notes (a “Certificate of Exemption”) or (ii) letter from any such Foreign Lender stating that it is not entitled to any such exemption or reduced rate of withholding (a “Letter of Non-Exemption”).

Prior to becoming a Lender under this Agreement and within 15 days after a reasonable written request of Borrower or Administrative Agent from time to time thereafter, each Foreign Lender that becomes a Lender under this Agreement shall provide a Certificate of Exemption or a Letter of Non-Exemption to Borrower and Administrative Agent.

If a Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption with respect to payments to be made to such Foreign Lender under this Agreement (or to a reduced rate of withholding) and does not provide a Certificate of Exemption to Borrower and Administrative Agent within the time periods set forth in the preceding paragraph, Borrower shall withhold taxes from payments to such Foreign Lender at the applicable statutory rates and Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts as a result of such withholding, provided that all such withholding shall cease or be reduced, as appropriate, upon delivery by such Foreign Lender of a Certificate of Exemption to Borrower and Administrative Agent.

1.14 Changes in Tax Laws. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, (i) any changes in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, (ii) any new law, regulation, treaty or directive enacted or any interpretation or application thereof, or (iii) compliance by Administrative Agent or any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority:

(1) does or shall subject Administrative Agent or any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any Loans made hereunder, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Administrative Agent or such Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for net income taxes or franchise taxes, imposed generally by federal, state, local or foreign taxing authorities in the jurisdiction in which the principal place of business of such Lender or Administrative Agent is located with respect to interest or commitment or other fees payable hereunder or changes in the rate of tax imposed by such jurisdictions on the overall net income of Administrative Agent or such Lender); or

(2) does or shall impose on Administrative Agent or any Lender any other condition or increased cost in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or participations herein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Administrative Agent or any such Lender of making or continuing any Loan hereunder, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, as the case may be, then, in any such case, Borrower shall be obligated to promptly pay to Administrative Agent or such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Administrative Agent or such Lender, on an after-tax basis, for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable, as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent or such Lender with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If Administrative Agent or such Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Subsection 1.14, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which Administrative Agent or such Lender has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Administrative Agent or such Lender to Borrower and Administrative Agent shall,

absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. There is no limitation on the number of times such a certificate may be submitted.

1.15 Term of This Agreement. All of the Obligations shall become due and payable as otherwise set forth herein, but in any event, all of the remaining Obligations shall become due and payable on October 31, 2010. This Agreement shall remain in effect through and including, and (except with respect to provisions hereof expressly stated herein to survive any such termination) shall terminate immediately after, the date on which all Obligations shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full.

1.16 Letter of Credit Liability. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at the direction of Administrative Agent, and in the event any Letters of Credit are outstanding at the time that Borrower terminates the Revolver Loan Commitment, then (a) with respect to each such Letter of Credit, Borrower shall either (i) deliver to Administrative Agent for the benefit of all Lenders with a Revolver Loan Commitment a letter of credit in the same currency that such Letter of Credit is payable, with a term that extends 60 days beyond the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, issued by a bank satisfactory to Administrative Agent and in an amount equal to 103% of the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Liability with respect to such Letter of Credit, which letter of credit shall be drawable by Administrative Agent to reimburse payments of drafts drawn under such Letter of Credit and to pay any fees and expenses related thereto or (ii) immediately deposit with Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Liability to enable Administrative Agent to make payments under the Letters of Credit when required and such amount shall become immediately due and payable, and (b) Borrower shall prepay the fees payable under Subsection 1.4(F) with respect to all such Letters of Credit for the full remaining terms of such Letters of Credit. Upon termination of any such Letter of Credit, the unearned portion of such prepaid fee attributable to such Letter of Credit shall be refunded to Borrower.

SECTION 2
AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

2.1 Compliance With Laws. Borrower will (i) comply with and will cause its respective Subsidiaries to comply with the requirements of all Applicable Laws (including laws, rules, regulations and orders relating to taxes, employer and employee contributions, securities, employee retirement and welfare benefits, environmental protection matters and employee health and safety) as now in effect and which may be imposed in the future in all jurisdictions in which Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower are now or hereafter doing business, (ii) obtain and maintain and will cause each of its Subsidiaries, to obtain and maintain all licenses, qualifications and permits (including the Franchises and the Licenses) now held or hereafter required for Borrower or any Subsidiary of

This Subsection 2.1 shall not preclude Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower from contesting any taxes or other payments, if they are being diligently contested in good faith and if adequate reserves therefor are maintained in conformity with GAAP.

2.2 Maintenance of Books and Records; Properties; Insurance.

If any part of the Collateral lies within a “special flood hazard area” as defined and specified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or other appropriate Governmental Authority) pursuant to the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended (the “FDPA”), and Administrative Agent determines that flood insurance coverage is required to be obtained for such Collateral in order for Administrative Agent and Lenders to comply with the FDPA, the appropriate Borrower shall obtain and maintain such flood insurance policies as Administrative Agent reasonably requests so that Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be deemed in compliance with the FDPA and shall deliver evidence thereof to Administrative Agent. Such policies of flood insurance shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and shall be in an amount of at least the lesser of the value of such Collateral constituting buildings, structures or personal property located within the “special flood hazard area” or the maximum limit of coverage available under Applicable Law. Borrower will cause (i) Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, pursuant to endorsements and assignments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, to be named (A) as a lender loss payee or mortgagee in the case of property loss and damage insurance, (B) as assignee in the case of all business interruption insurance and (C) as an additional insured in the case of all flood insurance and workers’ compensation insurance (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) and (ii) Administrative Agent, pursuant to endorsements in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, to be named as an additional insured in the case of all liability insurance. All insurance policies required hereunder shall (i) include effective waivers by the insurer

Administrative Agent shall be entitled, upon reasonable advance notice, to review and/or receive copies of, the insurance policies of Borrower and its Subsidiaries carried and maintained with respect to Borrower’s obligations under this Subsection 2.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no provision of this Subsection 2.2 or any provision of this Agreement shall impose on Administrative Agent and Lenders any duty or obligation to verify the existence or adequacy of the insurance coverage maintained by Borrower and its Subsidiaries, nor shall Administrative Agent and Lenders be responsible for any representations or warranties made by or on behalf of Borrower and its Subsidiaries to any insurance broker, company or underwriter. Administrative Agent, at its sole option, may obtain such insurance if not provided by Borrower and in such event, Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent upon demand for the cost thereof.

2.3 Inspection; Lender Meeting. Borrower will permit and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to permit, at the expense of Borrower, any authorized representatives of any Lender (i) to visit and inspect any of its properties and the properties of its Subsidiaries, including their financial and accounting records, and to make copies and take extracts therefrom, and (ii) to discuss its and their affairs, finances and business with its and their officers, employees and certified public accountants, in both cases upon reasonable prior notice at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably requested; provided, that, except during the continuance of a Default, each visit or inspection by a Lender in excess of one visit or inspection during a calendar year shall be at the expense of such Lender. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, Borrower will participate in and will cause its key management personnel to participate in a meeting with Administrative Agent and Lenders at least once during each year, which meeting shall be held at such time and such place as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent.

2.4 Legal Existence, Etc. Except as otherwise permitted by Subsection 3.6, Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence and good standing and all rights and franchises (including the Franchises and the

Licenses), except as permitted hereunder as and as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

2.5 Use of Proceeds. Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans, and will cause any of its Subsidiaries who receive (directly or indirectly) proceeds of the Loans to use such proceeds, solely for the purposes described in the recital paragraphs to this Agreement. No part of any Loan will be used (directly or indirectly) to purchase any “margin stock” as defined in, or otherwise in violation of, the regulations of the Federal Reserve System.

2.6 Further Assurances; Notices of Acquisition of Real Property. Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, from time to time, do, execute and deliver all such additional and further acts, documents and instruments as Administrative Agent or any Lender reasonably requests to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to vest completely in and assure Administrative Agent and Lenders of their respective rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including such financing statements, documents, security agreements and reports to evidence, perfect or otherwise implement the security for repayment of the Obligations contemplated by the Loan Documents. Borrower will notify Administrative Agent in each Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Subsection 4.5(C) of the acquisition (including by way of lease) by Borrower (or its Subsidiaries) of any real property or any interest therein including all easements and licenses (and the cost thereof or annual rentals with respect thereto), and of any registered intellectual property, or the opening of any new deposit, investment or other accounts, and will execute and deliver all such additional documents and instruments as Administrative Agent may reasonably require, promptly upon the request of Administrative Agent (including, upon written request of Administrative Agent, mortgages, title insurance policies, landlord and mortgagee waivers and consents, UCC financing statements (including fixture filings), environmental audits, completed environmental questionnaires, surveys, assignments, control agreements and legal opinions).

2.7 CoBank Patronage Capital. So long as CoBank is a Lender hereunder, Borrower will acquire non-voting participation certificates in CoBank in such amounts and at such times as CoBank may require in accordance with CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan (as each may be amended from time to time), except that the maximum amount of participation certificates that Borrower may be required to purchase in CoBank in connection with the Loans may not exceed the maximum amount permitted by the Bylaws at the time this Agreement is entered into. The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to such participation certificates and any distributions made on account thereof or on account of Borrower’s patronage with CoBank shall be governed by CoBank’s Bylaws. CoBank agrees that all Loans that are made by CoBank and that are retained for its own account and not sold in a participation shall be entitled to patronage distributions in accordance with the CoBank’s Bylaws; all Loans that are made by CoBank and are included in a sale of a participation shall not be entitled to patronage distributions. CoBank’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans and other Obligations due to CoBank shall be secured by a statutory first lien on all equity which Borrower may now own or hereafter acquire in CoBank. Such equity shall not, however, constitute security for the Obligations due to any other Lender. CoBank shall not be obligated to set off or otherwise apply such equities to Borrower’s obligations to CoBank.

2.8 Collateral Assignments of Material Contracts. Borrower and its Subsidiaries, as appropriate, shall promptly execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of

Administrative Agent and all Lenders, all such Collateral Contract Assignments with respect to Material Contracts as Administrative Agent may request from time to time, such Collateral Contract Assignments to contain, to the extent obtainable through the use of reasonably commercial efforts, a consent to the collateral assignment of the applicable Material Contract satisfactory to Administrative Agent and containing such other reasonable terms and conditions in light of the nature of the applicable Material Contract and the parties thereto other than Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

2.9 Investment Company Act. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to register under, or is otherwise subject to regulation as an “investment company” as that term is defined in, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Unless contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and then only to the extent reserves required by GAAP have been set aside therefore, Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity all liabilities and obligations as and when due (subject to any applicable subordination provisions), and any additional costs that are imposed as a result of any failure to so pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy such obligations, except to the extent failure to do so would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) pay and discharge all taxes, assessments, claims and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it, upon its income or profits or upon any of its properties, prior to the date on which penalties would attach thereto or a lien would attach to any of the properties of Borrower if unpaid unless the same are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and then only if and to the extent reserves required by GAAP have been set aside therefor.

2.11 Environmental Laws. Borrower will, and will at all times cause each of its Subsidiaries to:

(A) Comply in all material respects with, and ensure compliance in all material respects by all tenants and subtenants, if any, with, all applicable Environmental Laws and obtain and comply in all material respects with and maintain, and ensure that all tenants and subtenants obtain and comply in all material respects with and maintain, any and all licenses, approvals, notifications, registrations or permits required by applicable Environmental Laws except to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(C) Defend, indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and Lenders, and their respective employees, Administrative Agent, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, arising out of, or in any way relating to the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable

to the operations of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective properties, or any orders, requirements or demands of Governmental Authorities related thereto, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s and consultant’s fees, investigation and laboratory fees, response costs, court costs and litigation expenses, except to the extent that any of the foregoing is determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification therefor. The agreements in this Subsection 2.12 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

2.12 Creation or Acquisition of Subsidiaries. Subject to the provisions of Subsection 3.6, Borrower may from time to time create new Subsidiaries, and Subsidiaries of Borrower may create or acquire new Subsidiaries, provided that concurrently with (and in any event within ten Business Days thereafter) the creation or acquisition of any new Subsidiary, all the capital stock of or other equity interest in such new Subsidiary owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower will be pledged to the Administrative Agent as follows (provided that any equity interests in any new foreign Subsidiary formed or acquired after the Closing Date that constitutes a “controlled foreign corporation” under Section 956 of the IRC which, when aggregated with all of the other shares of equity interests in such Subsidiary pledged to Administrative Agent, would result in more than 65% of the total equity interests of such Subsidiary being pledged to Administrative Agent, need not be pledged): (i) if Borrower directly owns any of the capital stock of or other equity interest in such new Subsidiary, Borrower will execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent any amendment or supplement to its Security Agreement as Administrative Agent may reasonably request pursuant to which all such capital stock or other equity interest shall be pledged to the Administrative Agent, together, if applicable, with the certificates evidencing such capital stock and undated stock powers duly executed in blank; and (ii) if any of the capital stock of or other equity interest in such new Subsidiary is owned by a wholly-owned direct or indirect Subsidiary of Borrower, such other Subsidiary will execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (except in connection with a Permitted Acquisition where the stock is pledged to another Person in connection with such acquisition or any debt assumed thereunder) a Security Agreement or an amendment or supplement to its Security Agreement, pursuant to which all of the capital stock of or other equity interest in such new Subsidiary owned by such other Subsidiary shall be pledged to the Administrative Agent, together with the certificates evidencing such capital stock and undated stock powers duly executed in blank. As promptly as reasonably possible, Borrower and its Subsidiaries will deliver any such other documents, certificates and opinions (including opinions of local counsel in the jurisdiction of organization of each such new Subsidiary), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith and will take such other action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to create in favor of the Administrative Agent a perfected security interest on a first-priority basis in the Collateral being pledged pursuant to the documents described above.

If Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the consent of a Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of any of the aforesaid Loan Documents or any Loan Documents delivered to Administrative Agent or Lenders in connection therewith or as a result of any action which may be taken pursuant thereto, then Borrower, at Borrower’s cost and expense, agrees to use reasonable best efforts, and to cause its Subsidiaries to use their best efforts, to secure such consent and to cooperate with Administrative Agent and Lenders in any action commenced by Administrative Agent or any Lender to secure such consent.

6.6 Performance by Administrative Agent. If Borrower shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent may perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of Borrower after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein.

6.7 Set Off and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower at any time or from time to time, with reasonably prompt subsequent notice to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (any prior or contemporaneous notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (A) balances held by such Lender at any of its offices for the account of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (regardless of whether such balances are then due to Borrower), and (B) except as provided in Subsection 8.2(J), other property at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or for the account of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, against and on account of any of the Obligations; provided, that no Lender shall exercise any such right without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. Any Lender exercising a right to set off shall, to the extent the amount of any such set off exceeds its Pro Rata Share of the amount set off, purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell) interests in each such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess with each other Lender in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and upon doing so shall deliver such excess to Administrative Agent for the benefit of all Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, that CoBank may exercise its rights against any equity of CoBank held by Borrower without complying with this Subsection 6.7.

Subsequent to the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Subsection 6.3, all payments received by Lenders (or Affiliates of Lenders party to Related Interest Rate Agreements) on the Obligations and on the proceeds from the enforcement of the Obligations shall be applied among Administrative Agent and Lenders (and Affiliates of Lenders party to Related Interest Rate Agreements) as follows: first, to all Administrative Agent’s, and Lenders’ (and Affiliates of Lenders party to Related Interest Rate Agreements) fees and expenses then due and payable; then to all other expenses then due and payable by Borrower under the Loan Documents; then to all indemnitee obligations then due and payable by Borrower under the Loan Documents; then to all commitment and other fees and commissions then due and payable by Borrower under the Loan Documents; then pro rata to (i) accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans (pro rata) in accordance with all such amounts due on the Loans and (ii) any scheduled payments (excluding termination, unwind and similar payments) due to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender on any Related Interest Rate Agreements (pro rata with all such amounts due); then pro rata to (a) the principal amount of the Loans (pro rata among all Loans) and (b) any termination, unwind and similar payments due to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender under Related Interest Rate Agreements (pro rata with all such amounts due); and then to any remaining amounts due under the Obligations, in that order (provided, such priority may be changed with the consent of both the Requisite Lenders and the Lenders (and Affiliates of Lenders) party to Related Interest Rate Agreements then outstanding). Any remaining monies not applied as provided in this Subsection 6.8 shall be paid to Borrower or any Person lawfully entitled thereto.

6.9 Adjustments. If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon in a greater proportion than any such payment received by any other Lender (other than pursuant to Subsection 1.12(B)), if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits ratably with each Lender; provided, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion. This Subsection 6.9 shall not apply to any action taken by CoBank with respect to equity in it held by Borrower.

From and after the effective date specified in a duly executed, delivered and accepted Lender Addition Agreement, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof (unless Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree), (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Lender Addition Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender hereunder with respect thereto and (B) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Lender Addition Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than rights under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents relating to indemnification or payment of fees, costs and expenses, to the extent such rights relate to the time prior to the effective date of such Lender Addition Agreement) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement other than obligations to the extent relating to the time prior to the effective date of such Lender Addition Agreement (and, in the case of a Lender Addition Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of such assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). The terms and provisions of each Lender Addition Agreement shall, upon the effectiveness thereof be incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement, and the covenants, agreements and obligations of each Lender set forth therein shall be deemed made to and for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto as if set forth at length herein. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Lender Addition Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, and Administrative Agent and Borrower (if required), together with any Note subject to such assignment and the processing fee referred to above (if required), Administrative Agent will accept such Lender Addition Agreement and give notice thereof to Borrower and the other Lenders. In the event of an assignment pursuant to this Subsection 8.1, Borrower shall issue a new Revolver Note(s) or Term Note(s), as applicable, to reflect the interests

of the assigning Lender and the Person to which interests are to be assigned and, upon issuance and delivery by Borrower of such new Note or Notes, the assigning Lender shall surrender its Revolver Note or Term Note, as applicable.

Each Lender (including Administrative Agent) may sell participations in all or any part of its Pro Rata Share of each Loan Commitment and any Loans to one or more Persons; provided that such Lender shall first obtain the prior written consent of Administrative Agent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided, further, that such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; Borrower, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if that Lender had not sold such participation; and the holder of any such participation shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except action directly affecting (i) any reduction, modification or forgiveness in the principal amount of, or rate of interest on or fees payable with respect to any Loan; (ii) any extension of the Revolver Expiration Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, or any change of any scheduled dates fixed for any payment of any of the Obligations; (iii) any consent to the assignment, delegation or other transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under any Loan Document and (iv) the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral (except if the release of such Collateral is permitted under and effected in accordance with, including any consents and approvals required under, Subsection 8.2(I) or any other Loan Document) or any release of any material guaranty of the Obligations (except to the extent expressly provided thereby). Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any participation will give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to the participant, and the participant shall for purposes of Subsections 1.11, 1.13, 1.14, 6.7 and 9.1 be considered to be a “Lender,” so long as the participant agrees for the benefit of Borrower to comply with such Subsections and Subsection 1.12 as if were a “Lender.”

Except as otherwise provided in this Subsection 8.1, no Lender shall, as between Borrower and such Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of a participation in, all or any part of the Loans, the Notes or other Obligations owed to such Lender. Each Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the possession of that Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject to the provisions of Subsection 9.13.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning all or any portion of its rights and interest hereunder or under any Note as collateral security for any loan or financing or in connection with any securitization or other similar transaction or to any Federal Reserve Bank as security for borrowings therefrom; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) so long as there is no Event of Default that has continued in excess of four (4) months and Requisite Lenders shall remain capable of making LIBOR Loans, no Person shall become a “Lender” hereunder unless such Person shall also be capable of making LIBOR Loans and (ii) no assignment shall be permitted hereunder which would cause any Applicable Law to be violated (with respect to usury or otherwise).

CoBank reserves the right to assign or sell participations in all or any part of its Pro Rata Share of the Loan Commitment on a non-patronage basis.

8.2 Agent.

(A) Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes CoBank, as Administrative Agent and as Arranger; to act as Administrative Agent or Arranger hereunder and under any other Loan Document with such powers as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered to amend, modify or waive any provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on behalf of Lenders, subject to the requirement that the consent of certain Lenders or all Lenders, as appropriate, be obtained in certain instances as provided in Subsections 8.3 and 9.2. CoBank hereby agrees to act as Administrative Agent on the express conditions contained in this Subsection 8.2. The provisions of this Subsection 8.2 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders, and Borrower shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall act solely as Administrative Agent or Arranger, as applicable, of Lenders and Administrative Agent shall assume or be deemed to have assumed no obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower or its respective Affiliates. Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through Administrative Agent or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of Administrative Agent or attorneys-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

(B) Nature of Duties. The duties of Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of Administrative Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Administrative Agent, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates have made any representation or warranty to it and that no act by Administrative Agent or any such Person hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Administrative Agent that (i) it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, properties, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and extend credit to Borrower hereunder, and (ii) it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, properties, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower. Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with

respect thereto (other than as expressly required herein). If Administrative Agent seeks the consent or approval of any Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking of any action hereunder, then Administrative Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender any time that Requisite Lenders have instructed Administrative Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.

(C) Rights, Exculpation, Etc. Each of Administrative Agent, their respective Affiliates and any of their or their Affiliates’ respective officers, directors, employees, Administrative Agent or attorneys-in-fact shall not be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted by them hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, except that each such entity shall be liable with respect to its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them). In performing its functions and duties hereunder, Administrative Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account, but Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of Borrower. Administrative Agent may at any time request instructions from Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents Administrative Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, Administrative Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents (i) if such action or omission would, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent, violate any Applicable Law or any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (ii) until it shall have received such instructions from Requisite Lenders or all of Lenders, as applicable. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders, except in connection with its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(D) Reliance. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any written or oral notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message or other communication (including any writing, telex, telecopy or telegram) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, administration, amendment, modification, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

(E) Indemnification. Lenders will reimburse and indemnify Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates and their and their Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, Administrative Agent, and attorneys-in-fact (collectively, “Representatives”), on demand (to the extent not actually reimbursed under Subsection 9.1, but without limiting the obligations of Borrower under such Subsection 9.1) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses), advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Administrative Agent or their respective Representatives (i) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent or its Representatives under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, and (ii) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, administration, amendment, modification, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements resulting from Administrative Agent’s or its Representatives’ gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to Administrative Agent or their respective Representatives for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The obligations of Lenders under this Subsection 8.2(E) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(F) CoBank, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent Individually. With respect to its obligations under the Loan Commitments, the Loans made by it, and the Notes issued to it, each of CoBank, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms “Lenders” or “Requisite Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each of CoBank, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or as one of the Requisite Lenders. Each of CoBank, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent may lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, Borrower as if it were not acting as an Agent pursuant hereto.

(G) Notice of Default. Administrative Agent shall be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or the financial condition of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from Borrower or a Lender referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that an Agent receives such a notice, Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to Lenders as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, that if any such notice has also been furnished to Lenders, Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to notify Lenders with respect thereto. Administrative Agent shall (subject to this Subsection 8.2) take

such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall reasonably be directed by Requisite Lenders; provided, further, that, unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as they shall deem advisable and in the best interests of Lenders.

(H) Successor Agent.

(1) Resignation. Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its agency functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least 30 Business Days’ prior written notice to Borrower and Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clause (2) below or as otherwise provided below.

(2) Appointment of Successor. Upon any such notice of resignation pursuant to clause (1) above, Requisite Lenders shall (and if no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon receipt of Borrower’s collective prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld), appoint a successor Agent from among Lenders or another financial institution. If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within the 30 Business Day period referred to in Subsection 8(H)(1) above, the retiring Agent, upon notice to Borrower, shall then appoint a successor Agent from among Lenders who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as Requisite Lenders, upon receipt of Borrower’s collective prior written consent (if required under the first sentence of this paragraph), which shall not be unreasonably withheld, appoint a successor Agent as provided above.

(3) Successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent under the Loan Documents by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent under the Loan Documents, the provisions of this Subsection 8.2 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Documents.

(I) Collateral Matters.

(1) Release of Collateral. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by it upon any property covered by the Security Documents (i) upon termination of the Loan Commitments and indefeasible payment and satisfaction of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification or expense reimbursement Obligations not then due and payable); (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement if Borrower certifies to Administrative Agent in writing that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and Administrative Agent may rely in good faith conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); or (iii) constituting property leased to Borrower under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or is about to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by Borrower to be, renewed or extended. In addition, Administrative Agent, with the consent of

Requisite Lenders, may release or compromise any Collateral and the proceeds thereof constituting less than all or substantially all of the Collateral.

(2) Confirmation of Authority; Execution of Releases. Without in any manner limiting Administrative Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by Lenders (as set forth in Subsection 8.2(I)(1)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Administrative Agent or Borrower, the authority to release any property covered by the Security Documents conferred upon Administrative Agent under clauses (i) through (iii) of the first sentence of Subsection 8.2(I)(1). Upon receipt by Administrative Agent of confirmation from each Lender of its authority to release or compromise any particular item or types of property covered by the Security Documents under Subsection 8.2(I)(1), and upon at least ten Business Days’ prior written request by Borrower, Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release or compromise of the Liens granted to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders, upon such Collateral, provided that (i) Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release or compromise of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release or compromise shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of Borrower, in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower in the Collateral, including proceeds of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the property covered by the Security Documents.

(3) Absence of Duty. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to assure that the property covered by the Security Documents exists or is owned by Borrower, or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to it have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to it in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the property covered by the Security Documents or any act, omission or event related thereto, Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Administrative Agent’s own interest in property covered by the Security Documents, as one of Lenders and as Administrative Agent, provided that Administrative Agent shall act in conformance with Subsection 8.2 and exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account and shall be liable for its and its Representatives’ gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(J) Agency for Perfection; Enforcement of Security by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Administrative Agent’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Administrative Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to Administrative Agent or in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions without affecting any Lender’s rights of set-off. Each Lender

agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Security Document or to realize upon any collateral security for the Loans, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Administrative Agent.

(K) Dissemination of Information. Administrative Agent will use its best efforts (except where otherwise provided herein) to provide Lenders with any information received by Administrative Agent from Borrower which is required to be provided to a Lender hereunder or which is otherwise requested by any Lender, provided that Administrative Agent shall not be liable to Lenders for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to Administrative Agent’s or its Representatives’ gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

8.3 Amendments, Consents and Waivers for Certain Actions.

(A) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including this Subsection 8.3 and Subsection 9.2), any Lender Addition Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consent of Requisite Lenders and Borrower will be required to amend, modify, terminate, or waive any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (other than any Related Interest Rate Agreement, which may only be amended, modified or terminated, or any provision thereof waived, in accordance with the terms thereof and with the consent of Administrative Agent).

(B) In the event Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender and does not receive a written consent or denial thereof within ten Business Days after such Lender’s receipt of such request, then such Lender will be deemed to have denied the giving of such consent.

8.4 Disbursement of Funds. Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone or telecopy of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Loan requested by Borrower no later than 11:00 a.m. (Denver, Colorado time) at least two Business Days immediately preceding the Funding Date applicable thereto (in the case of LIBOR Loans), otherwise on the Business Day immediately preceding the Funding Date applicable thereto, and each such Lender shall pay Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such requested Loan, in same day funds, by wire transfer to Administrative Agent’s account by no later than 1:00 p.m. (Denver, Colorado time) on such Funding Date. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower, and Administrative Agent shall disburse to Borrower, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, that portion of such Loan as to which Administrative Agent has received funds. In such event, Administrative Agent may, on behalf of any Lender not timely paying Administrative Agent, disburse funds to Borrower for Loans requested, subject to the provisions of Subsection 8.5(B). Each such Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent on demand for all funds disbursed on its behalf by Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Subsection 8.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the provisions of Subsection 8.5, shall be deemed to require Administrative Agent (or any other Lender) to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Administrative Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

8.5 Disbursements of Advances; Payments.

(A) Pro Rata Treatment; Application. Upon receipt by Administrative Agent of each payment from Borrower hereunder, other than as described in the succeeding sentence, Administrative Agent shall promptly credit each Lender’s account with its Pro Rata Share of such payment in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share and shall promptly wire advice of the amount of such credit to each Lender. Each payment to Administrative Agent of its fees shall be made in like manner, but for the account of Administrative Agent.

(B) Availability of Lender’s Pro Rata Share.

(1) Unless Administrative Agent has been notified by a Lender prior to a Funding Date of such Lender’s intention not to fund its Pro Rata Share of the Loan amount requested by Borrower, and Administrative Agent has given notice pursuant to Subsection 8.4, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make such amount available to Administrative Agent on the Funding Date. If such amount is not, in fact, made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender when due, and Administrative Agent disburses funds to Borrower on behalf of such Lender, Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from Borrower, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, with interest thereon at the rate per annum then applicable to such Loan.

(2) Nothing contained in this Subsection 8.5(B) will be deemed to relieve a Lender of its obligation to fulfill its commitments or to prejudice any rights Administrative Agent or Borrower may have against such Lender as a result of a default by such Lender under this Agreement.

(3) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall be obligated to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loan made after any Event of Default or acceleration of the Obligations with respect to any draw on a Letter of Credit.

(1) If Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Administrative Agent from Borrower and such related payment is not received by Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(2) If Administrative Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Administrative Agent under this Agreement must be returned to Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any solvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement, Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Administrative Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Administrative Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Administrative Agent is required to pay to Borrower or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

SECTION 9
MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Indemnities. Borrower agrees to indemnify, pay, and hold Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective Affiliates and the respective officers, directors, employees, Administrative Agent, and attorneys of Administrative Agent, Lender and their respective Affiliates (the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and claims of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnitee as a result of Administrative Agent and each Lender being a party to this Agreement or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided, that Borrower shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, in each such case as determined by a final non appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. This Subsection 9.1 and all indemnification provisions contained within any other Loan Document shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

9.2 Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents (other than any Related Interest Rate Agreement, which may only be amended, modified or terminated, or any provision thereof waived, in accordance with the terms thereof), or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Borrower and Requisite Lenders (or Administrative Agent, if expressly set forth herein, in any Note or in any other Loan Document); provided, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary and except, with respect to an assignee or assignor hereunder, to the extent permitted by any applicable Lender Addition Agreement, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall, unless in writing and signed by all Lenders, do any of the following: (i) increase any Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Loan Commitment or change a pro rata payment of any Lender; (ii) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or fees payable with respect to any Loan (other than indirectly by reason of an amendment to a defined terms); (iii) extend the Revolver Expiration Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date or extend any other scheduled date on which any Obligation is to be paid (other than the date of any prepayment); (iv) change the percentage of Lenders which shall be required for Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder; (v) release or subordinate Administrative Agent’s Lien on all or substantially all of the Collateral (except if the release or subordination of such Collateral is permitted under and effected in accordance with this Agreement or any other Loan Document) or any material guaranty of the Obligations (except to the extent expressly contemplated thereby); (vi) amend or waive this Subsection 9.2 or the definitions of the terms used in this Subsection 9.2 insofar as the definitions affect the substance of this Subsection 9.2; or (vii) consent to the assignment, delegation or other transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under any Loan Document; and provided, further, that no amendment, modification, termination or waiver affecting the rights or duties of Administrative Agent under any Loan Document shall in any event be effective, unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent, in addition to Lenders required hereinabove to take such action. Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be required for Administrative Agent to take additional Collateral pursuant to any Loan

Document. No notice to or demand on Borrower or any other Person in any case shall entitle Borrower or such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Subsection 9.2 shall be binding upon each holder of the Notes at the time outstanding, each future holder of the Notes, and, if signed by Borrower, upon Borrower.

9.4 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise, nor any partial exercise of, any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Documents shall impair such power, right, or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. All rights and remedies existing hereunder or under any other Loan Document are cumulative to and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available.

9.5 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrower or any other Person makes payment(s) or Administrative Agent enforces its Liens or Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment(s) or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or required to be repaid by anyone (whether by demand, litigation, settlement or otherwise), then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended

to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.

Schedule 5.13(B)

Valid Licenses

1. Commnet Illinois, LLC operates in several counties in the state of Illinois on a day-to-day basis as a manager under the supervision and control of the licensee of the involved broadband PCS spectrum, a subsidiary of AT&T Mobility, LLC. Commnet Illinois, LLC does so pursuant to a management agreement entered into between itself and the AT&T Mobility, LLC subsidiary (at the time an AT&T Wireless subsidiary) prior to the advent of the FCC’s spectrum leasing rules. When the FCC spectrum leasing rules later came into effect, Commnet Illinois, LLC suggested to AT&T Wireless that the management agreement be modified to become a spectrum manager lease agreement, and an accompanying FCC filing be made. However, AT&T Wireless replied that it could not amend or modify any existing agreements, due to the prospect of a merger with Cingular, LLC. After that merger was completed, AT&T Mobility, LLC advised Commnet Illinois, LLC that its personnel were too busy with implementing the merger to focus on modifying the Commnet Illinois, LLC agreement. Commnet Illinois, LLC has continued to raise the issue with AT&T Mobility, LLC. In the meantime, Commnet Illinois, LLC continues to operate in these markets day-to-day, pursuant to the still-existing agreement.

Whether the advent of the new spectrum leasing set of rules would require the filing of a notification to the FCC (jointly by Commnet Illinois, LLC and AT&T Mobility, LLC), is an open question. The matter is beyond Commnet Illinois, LLC’s control, as such a filing is a joint filing, and would have to be signed by AT&T Mobility, LLC as well as Commnet Illinois, LLC. The violation would be a joint violation by both Commnet Illinois, LLC and AT&T Mobility, LLC. Commnet Wireless, LLC is currently negotiating the sale of these markets to AT&T Mobility, LLC.

2. Commnet Wireless, LLC and its “Subsidiaries”, as that term is defined in the Credit Agreement, are not in compliance with FCC rules and regulations pertaining to “enhanced 911” (“E911”).

As with most rural carriers, Commnet Wireless, LLC and its “Subsidiaries” and “Company Investments”, as those terms are defined in the Merger Agreement (the “Commnet Group”), face substantial obstacles to achieving full compliance with FCC rules pertaining to “enhanced 911” (“E911”). As with other rural carriers, the Commnet Group filed a request for waiver with the FCC, with respect to implementation of Phase 2 E911 location capability.

In its Order on Reconsideration, 22 FCC Rcd 2571 (2007), the FCC denied the Commnet Group’s request for waiver in its entirety. At this time, Commnet is therefore in violation of FCC rules with respect to those five PSAPs (three in the Illinois/Missouri region, one in New Mexico, and one in Florida) that have requested Phase 2 E911 capability. (Commnet is also providing basic 911, not Phase 1 E911, in two of the three Illinois/Missouri jurisdictions and the New Mexico jurisdiction, a separate rule violation.) Commnet has been working cooperatively with those particular PSAPs, explaining the difficulty it faces in meeting the E911 requirements.

Commnet has recently been authorized to receive reimbursement from the state of Florida for Phase 2 E911 implementation costs. Commnet will be installing Phase 2 E911 infrastructure equipment in Florida (although, based on current projections, while such equipment will provide superior location capability to Phase 1 E911, it would not meet the FCC’s Phase 2 accuracy thresholds, due to the lack of sufficient triangulation possibilities in the Florida Keys). The current target date for implementation of service with this E911 infrastructure equipment is the last week of November, 2007. At this time, none of the involved PSAPs has complained to the FCC about Commnet’s failure to implement Phase 2 E911, and there is no enforcement proceeding pending or, to Commnet’s knowledge, threatened.
