CenturyTel Account to KMC II and direct the Collateral Agent
to instruct Wachovia to release $38,145,000 to KMC II from the

Telecommunications Equipment requested to be funded. Such
schedule will detail all invoices for equipment, third party
labor, permits, other third party costs and all capitalized
internal costs of the Borrowers with respect to such
Telecommunications Equipment permitted under GAAP. All
invoices over $25,000 will be attached to such schedule
delivered to the Collateral Agent who shall review such
invoices and verify that, when combined with the above
described capitalized internal costs, such invoices will
support at least seventy percent (70%) of the total requested
funding. In the case of a Collateral Account Release the
proceeds of which will be used to pay or reimburse any
Borrower for transaction costs, the Request for Collateral
Account Release delivered to the

Collateral Agent will include a copy of the invoice from the
provider of the service or other appropriate supporting
documentation.
(b) The proceeds of any such Collateral Account
Release shall be used by the Borrowers to purchase
Telecommunications Equipment, to pay transaction costs
incurred in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance of the Loan Documents, and for working capital and
other general corporate purposes (subject to any restrictions
contained in the Indentures), all as specified in the Notice
of Collateral Account Release and in accordance with the March
2002 Business Plan.
(c) Borrowers shall have satisfied all conditions
to a Collateral Account Release set forth in SECTION 4.02.

Account pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable
Account Control Agreement.

contained herein or in the Loan Agreement, KMC II shall have
the right to prepay the Loans by directing the Agent to apply

Loan Agreement solely as a result of the Borrowers' failure to submit to
Agent and Lenders a proposal in form and substance satisfactory to Agents
and Required Lenders pursuant to SECTION 5.23 of the Loan Agreement;
PROVIDED that the waiver set forth in this Section 2.8 shall cease to be
of any force or effect on July 1, 2003 or upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default, whichever is earlier; PROVIDED FURTHER that the Lenders hereby
otherwise reserve all rights with respect to such Defaults or Events of
Default as set forth in Section 4.2 of this Amendment.
2.9 DEFERRAL OF CERTAIN PAYMENTS. On the basis of the
representations and warranties contained in this Amendment, certain
Lenders (the "DEFERRING LENDERS") have agreed or may agree (as described
in Section 5.30) to the deferral (the "DEFERRAL") until the earlier of
June 30, 2003 and the occurrence of an Event of Default (such earlier date
being the "DEFERRAL TERMINATION DATE") of the payment of their respective
pro rata shares of the following amounts (collectively, the "DEFERRED
AMOUNTS"): (i) the installments of principal of the Loans scheduled to be
paid on April 1, 2003 (the "DEFERRAL DATE") and (ii) any mandatory
prepayments of principal on the Revolving Loans which may be due on the
Deferral Date under Section 2.09 (d) (i) in connection with the Revolving
Loan Commitment Amount reduction scheduled for the Deferral Date under
Section 2.09 (c) (ix) and Annex C (PROVIDED that such Deferring Lenders'
Revolving Loan Commitment Amounts SHALL be reduced on the Deferral Date as
set forth in Annex C). The Agent is hereby directed to apply any payments
it shall receive with respect to the Deferred Amounts (unless the
Deferring Lenders notify the Agent that the Deferral has been terminated)
to the balance of the Loans held by the Lenders other than the Deferring
Lenders. The parties hereto acknowledge that the above Deferral shall
terminate on the Deferral Termination Date, and hereby consent to the
payment of such Deferred Amounts to the Deferring Lenders on the Deferral
Termination Date. The Deferring Lenders shall deliver a letter of deferral
to the Agent setting forth the above terms.
3. LIMITATION OF WAIVER. Without limiting the generality of
the provisions of Section 11.02(b) of the Loan Agreement, the waivers set forth
above shall be limited precisely as written and relate solely to noncompliance
by the Borrowers with the provisions of Sections 2.08(c), 2.09(c)(iii), 5.23,
6.03(a)(i), 6.03(a)(iii), 6.07, 6.09, 6.11, 6.13 and 9.01(b) of the Loan
AMENDMENT NO. 10 & LIMITED WAIVER 23
Agreement, the August Covenant and Section 4(b), clause (i), of the Seventh
Amendment in the manner and to the extent described above and nothing in this
Amendment shall be deemed to:
(a) constitute a waiver of compliance by the Borrowers with
respect to (i) SECTIONS 2.08(C), 2.09(C)(III), 5.23, 6.03(A)(I), 6.03(A)(III),
6.07, 6.09, 6.11, 6.13 and 9.01(B) of the Loan Agreement, the August Covenant

(ii) any other term, provision or condition of the Loan Agreement or any other
instrument or agreement referred to therein; or
(b) prejudice any right or remedy that the Agents or any
Lender may now have (except to the extent such right or remedy was based upon
existing defaults that will not exist after giving effect to this Amendment) or
may have in the future under or in connection with the Loan Agreement or any
other instrument or agreement referred to therein.
Except as expressly set forth herein, the terms, provisions
and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain
in full force and effect and in all other respects are hereby ratified and

Lenders, have not, as of the date hereof, exercised their rights and
remedies under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents with

hereof. Although the Agents, on behalf of the Lenders, have not as of the
date hereof, exercised with respect to any such Default or Event of
Default any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agents
and/or the Lenders under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
such non-exercise and any future non-exercise of any rights, remedies,
powers and privileges by any of the Agents or Lenders with respect to any
Default or Event of Default (whether now existing or hereafter occurring),
shall not in any manner be deemed or construed as a waiver thereof except
as expressly provided herein. With respect to such Defaults and Events of
Default referenced in Section 2.8, each of the Agents, on behalf of the
Lenders, hereby reserves its rights to exercise, without further notice to
Borrowers or any other Loan Party, any and all rights, remedies, powers,
privileges of each such Agent on behalf of the Lenders, under the Loan
Agreement, as such Agent deems appropriate in respect of any such Defaults
or Events of Defaults, at any time after the earlier to occur of an Event
of Default or July 1, 2003. The Agents and Lenders hereby reserve and
preserve all of their respective rights and remedies under the Loan
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable law, and the Agents'
and Lenders' voluntary action or inaction, if any, from exercising any of
such rights or remedies is not intended (and should not be construed),
except as expressly provided in Section 2.8 hereof, as a waiver of such
Defaults and Events of Default or a waiver of its rights and remedies with
respect to them.
