54
(e) In the event that any insurance coverage required hereby (or the limits, deductible amounts or any other requirement thereof) is not available on commercially reasonable terms and conditions in the commercial insurance market, the Borrower may request a waiver from the Majority Common Creditors, which waiver shall not be unreasonably withheld, of the requirement of such coverages, limits, deductible amounts, or other requirements to the extent the maintenance thereof is not so available; provided, however, that:

(ii) the Borrower shall have secured and obtained for itself and each of the Restricted Subsidiaries the most favorable alternative terms and conditions which are then available on commercially reasonable terms and conditions; and
(iii) any waiver granted pursuant to this Section 5.13(e) shall be effective only during the period that the coverage, limits, deductible amounts or other requirements thereby waived are not available on commercially reasonable terms and conditions within the meaning of this Section 5.13(e).

(c) To the extent that the Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its Obligations under this Agreement arid the other Loan Documents. The Borrower agrees that the waivers set forth above shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of the United States of America and are intended to be irrevocable and not subject to withdrawal for purposes of such act.

Material Litigation
There is no material litigation in respect of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries other than the following:
Legal Proceedings
Outlined below are the details of material cases outstanding that involve Digicel Group Limited (“we,” “us,” or “our company”) and our operations.
Jamaican International Termination Charges
In 2002, OUR, the Jamaican regulator, ordered a reduction in international termination charges. We brought a successful challenge to this order based on a previous ministerial direction stating that OUR should not set interconnection rates but that interconnection rates should be set by the market. At the time the decision relating to this challenge was made, C&W paid J$160 million (which is approximately U S $2 45 million) due to us that they had previously withheld plus interest. OUR appealed and the case was heard in March 2006, with a decision expected in 2007. Subsequent to the original action and the payment of the sum stated above by C&W, C&W commenced paying higher rates for international incoming traffic pursuant to a determination of OUR, and later, as a result of a commercial agreement with us. Notwithstanding that these payments and the interests thereon — estimated at September 30, 2006 to be U.S. $36.7 million — are based on factors external to the action, they are connected to the action to the extent that the payments would likely have been based on the original rate which OUR sought to impose but for our challenge. There is a material risk that the court would rule in favor of OUR and we may be required to repay all sums collected by us from C&W for international incoming traffic which exceeds the rate in effect at the time when OUR’s original determination was made in May 2002. Legal costs of approximately J$5 million and interest may also have to be paid. Pending final adjudication, we have not recognized any of this income in our profit and loss account and we have recorded a liability of $36.7 million as of September 30, 2006.
Aruba and Haiti MCC/MNC Dispute
We use the Jamaican Mobile Country Code and Mobile Network Code (a technical routing number not dialed by customers) in many of our markets, a practice that provides significant operating benefits for us because of the faster roll-out, efficiency and cost effectiveness of the practice in deploying roaming services. This practice has been challenged by the regulators in Aruba and Haiti.
The Court of First Instance in Aruba ruled on July 5, 2006 that, among other things, the regulator had failed to follow the correct administrative process and therefore the case was rejected. The regulator has now started the proper administrative procedure in order to force us to comply with the license by July 2007. We are negotiating a solution to end this dispute and have also appealed the court’s decision of July 5, 2006. In the event of an ultimate unfavorable appeal decision on this issue, we will incur some additional costs and there may be some disruption to services.
CONATEL, the Haitian regulator, advised us that we must use the Haitian Mobile Country Code and Mobile Network Code by January 10, 2007. Following discussions with the Haitian regulator and the Haitian Ministry Responsible for Telecommunications we have been advised that we will be allowed to use the Jamaican Mobile Country Code and Mobile Network Code. Our competitors in Haiti may, however, challenge this decision. The cost of moving away from the Jamaican MCC is estimated at US$2m.
Disputes with TSTT in Trinidad and Tobago
Lack of a Formal Interconnection Agreement
TSTT has refused to enter into a formal interconnection agreement with us unless we accept reciprocal rates based on TSTT’s claimed cost of mobile termination on its network. We have resisted that position on the basis that in accordance with law, we are entitled to recover the full cost of mobile termination on our network.
On January 19, 2006, this issue was referred to a panel of the regulator, TATT, for consideration. On August 16, 2006, the panel ruled that TSTT’s position was not contrary to law, and suggested in its ruling that the parties negotiate within a specified price range. At the request of TATT , interconnection negotiations were recommenced but have thus far not resulted in any agreement.
On October 23, 2006 we were permitted by the High Court of Trinidad and Tobago to initiate a judicial review of the panel ruling. The matter is likely to go to trial in April 2007 and could have a significant effect on the setting of interconnection rates. Separately, we initiated a dispute with TATT on October 13, 2006 requesting a ruling on all of the interconnection rates between us and TSTT prospectively as well as retroactively from April 6, 2006 when we launched our services in Trinidad and Tobago. An adverse ruling would affect our receipt of interconnect fees and our revenues and profitability.
Interconnect Equipment Dispute
In December 2005, TSTT arranged for the publication of a series of advertisements claiming that we had been causing interference with their mobile network. TATT subsequently found that we were not at fault. We brought a suit against TSTT on the basis that these advertisements were libelous and sought damages of approximately $4 million. This matter is expected to go to trial in 2007.
Interconnect Failures
In recent months, we have experienced significant failure rates in respect of calls to subscribers of the TSTT fixed and mobile networks. In October 2006, up to 95% of all calls from us to TSTT failed. On October 30, 2006, we filed an injunction before the High Court of Trinidad and Tobago, seeking an end to the blocking of our calls. We are also seeking orders compelling TSTT to provide additional interconnection capacity under an implied
contract with us. Since the filing of these proceedings, call failure rates have dropped dramatically. However, TSTT has refused to provide any additional interconnection capacity. The trial of this injunction application was concluded in December 2006 and a ruling is expected during the first quarter of 2007.
Bonaire Acquisition of Mobile License and Assets
On December 7, 2006 we signed an Agreement with Telefonia Bonairiano N.V. (“Telbo”) for the sale and transfer of their client base, equipment and licenses. The transfer was to take effect on January 1, 2007. Telbo and United Telecommunications Services N.V. (“UTS”) have an existing revenue sharing agreement. In December 2006, the Court of First Instance of Curacao issued a judgment preventing the completing of the transfer as it could affect the existing revenue sharing agreement. On February 11, 2007, following the expiry of the agreement between Telbo and UTS, Telbo began the transfer of its customer base in accordance with its agreement with Digicel. Prior to that, UTS has been declared in summary court proceedings to be entitled to certain on-going network access rights from Telbo, which may ultimately affect the number of customers that actually transfer to Digicel.
Cayman Interconnection Fees Dispute
We entered into an interconnection Agreement with C&W Cayman in January 2004, which was amended by a Settlement Agreement dated July 27, 2004. Despite operating under its terms for over two years, in September 2006, C&W indicated that it considered that these agreements had not been approved by the Information and Communications Technology Authority of Cayman (“ICTA”) and that it would therefore not honor the agreed mobile termination rate. As a result, C&W is only paying us a reduced mobile termination rate. Subsequently, C&W purported to refer this dispute to the ICTA, which it declined to accept by a decision of December 14, 2006. As a result of C&W’s breaches of the Interconnection Agreement, we made a reference to arbitration under the International Chamber of Commerce Rules in December 2006. While this arbitration could be concluded by the end of 2007, it could be delayed beyond that as a result of further proceedings in Cayman or elsewhere.
El Salvador Dispute with ZTE
We entered into a supply agreements with ZTE in March 2006. We decided to terminate this agreement due to ZTE’s failure to meet certain obligations. ZTE has disputed this and has threatened to take the matter to arbitration. In the event of an unfavorable ruling by the arbiter or we are unable to settle this matter amicably we may be required to pay ZTE damages.
