Lender’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that for so long as Denali, Cricket or Lender (or one or more of their respective Subsidiaries or other Affiliates) is a member of Borrower, the approval of Lender shall be deemed given other than with respect to Section 6.11(g) with respect to any action taken by Borrower or any Guarantor that may be taken without the approval of Denali or Lender (or such Subsidiary or other Affiliate), as applicable, under the terms of the LLC Agreement or for which Denali or Lender (or such Subsidiary or other Affiliate), as applicable, has granted its approval under the terms of the LLC Agreement:

a. Conduct, transact or otherwise engage in, or commit to transact, conduct or otherwise engage in, any business or operations other than the Business.

b. Undertake any of the activities permitted by Section 6.11(a) above or own any assets related thereto, other than by and through the Borrower Subsidiaries except during the period prior to the formation of the Borrower Subsidiaries as set forth in Section 6.15(a).

6.14 Independence of Covenants.

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

c. Neither Borrower nor License Sub A shall amend or waive any term or provision of any DSM Security Document without the prior written consent of Lender, in its sole discretion (provided that if such amendment or waiver would not be adverse to the Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, then the Lender shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay such consent).

d.

c. Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings.

e. Change in Control. The occurrence of any Borrower Change in Control Event or Guarantor Change in Control Event; or

Ring Island or any Loan Party admits, or it is determined in an order, notice or ruling of the FCC, that Ring Island or any Loan Party holding FCC Licenses has ceased to qualify as a “very small business” under FCC Rules, including but not limited to, Sections 1.2110(b), and 27.1102(a)(2) of the FCC Rules, if such qualification is then required under FCC Rules in order for Borrower and the Borrower Subsidiaries to retain any “closed” License or avoid any requirement to make an Unjust Enrichment Payment; or

i. Cross Default. Any Loan Party (i) defaults in making payments of any indebtedness permitted under Section 6.9 that is outstanding in a principal amount of at least $1,000,000 (but excluding indebtedness outstanding hereunder) on the scheduled due date with respect thereto beyond the period of grace, if any, provided in the instrument or agreement under which such indebtedness was created; (ii) defaults in making any payment of any interest on such indebtedness beyond the period of grace, if any, provided in the instrument or agreement under which such indebtedness was created; or (iii) defaults in the observance or performance of any other agreement or condition relating to such indebtedness or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, in each case, beyond the applicable grace period, if any, which default permits the lender thereunder to declare such indebtedness to be due and payable prior to its stated maturity; provided, however, that any such default by a Loan Party shall not be an Event of Default hereunder if and to the extent that, and for so long as, such Loan Party’s default is proximately caused by Cricket’s (or its assignee’s) failure to satisfy its funding obligations under this Credit Agreement or the LLC Agreement.

7.2 Remedies Upon Event of Default.

c. Borrower shall pay to Lender forthwith upon demand any and all expenses, costs and other amounts to the extent due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, whether incurred before, after or during the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies, including all reasonable legal fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the enforcement of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and/or the preservation of Lender’s rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

Section 8. Miscellaneous

8.1 Entire Agreement; Amendment.

This Credit Agreement (including the attached Exhibits) and the other Loan Documents constitute the sole understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements, commitments or understandings with respect to such matters. No amendment, modification or alteration of the terms or provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding unless the same shall be in writing and duly executed by the parties hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Credit Agreement is intended to amend, amend and restate, modify or otherwise change in any way the rights and obligations of Denali, Denali License and Cricket (as lender thereunder) under the Original Credit Agreement, which Original Credit Agreement shall continue in effect among the parties thereto in accordance with its terms.

8.2 Successors and Assigns.

Neither this Credit Agreement nor any Loan Documents may be assigned by any Loan Party without the written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement or any Loan Documents to an Affiliate of Lender without the consent of the Loan Parties; provided that such Affiliate of Lender agrees to be bound by all of the terms hereof and thereof and of the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements; provided, further, that, unless Borrower otherwise consents in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, Lender shall remain obligated under this Credit Agreement to make all Loans required hereunder. No such permitted assignment shall relieve any party hereto of any liability for a breach of this Credit Agreement or

of any other Loan Document or of any of the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements by such party or its assignee. This Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents each shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs or successors in interest.

8.3 Rights and Remedies.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall not be mutually exclusive, and the exercise of one or more remedies by Lender pursuant to this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law shall not preclude the exercise by Lender of any other remedy hereunder, or under Applicable Law or the principles of equity.

8.4 Indemnity; Reimbursement of Lender.

a. Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender and its Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or agents harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, judgments and liabilities (including but not limited to, liabilities for penalties) of any nature (“Claims”), and to reimburse Lender for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising from any of the Loan Documents or the exercise of any right or remedy granted to Lender hereunder or thereunder, other than any Claim (including of Borrower) arising from Lender’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, or from Lender’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. In no event shall Lender be liable for any matter or thing in connection with the Loan Documents other than to account for moneys actually received by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof. In addition, in no event shall any party hereto be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages (including damages for harm to business, lost revenues, lost savings, or lost profits suffered by any of the Loan Parties, Lender or other Persons), regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, warranty, strict liability, or tort, including negligence of any kind whether active or passive, and regardless of whether Lender or the Loan Parties knew of the possibility that such damages could result.

b. All indemnities contained in this Section 8.4 and elsewhere in this Credit Agreement shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Credit Agreement.

8.5 Highest Lawful Rate.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of Borrower on the Note shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent that contracting for or receipt thereof would be contrary to provisions of any Applicable Law to Lender limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by Lender, as determined by a final Judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Any interest paid in excess of such highest rate shall be applied to the principal balance of the Borrower Obligations.

8.6 Counterparts.

This Credit Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute the same instrument.

8.7 Modification and Waiver.

The parties by mutual written agreement may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall only be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. No waiver by Lender in any one case shall require Lender to give any subsequent waiver.

8.8 Payments on Business Days.

Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest, if any, in connection with such payment.

8.9 Expenses.

Except as specifically provided herein, each party hereto shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by it or on its behalf in connection with this Credit Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, fees and expenses of its own consultants, accountants and counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall pay, immediately when due, all present and future stamp and other like duties and applicable taxes, if any, to which this Credit Agreement may be subject or give rise.

8.12 Reformation.

a. If the FCC should (i) change any FCC Rule in a manner that would adversely affect the enforceability of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) directly or indirectly reject or take action to challenge the enforceability of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or (iii) take any other steps whatsoever, on its own initiative or by petition from another Person, to (A) challenge or deny the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (B) challenge or deny the eligibility of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to retain any “closed” License or (C) assert any requirement or obligation to make an Unjust Enrichment Payment, as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, then the parties shall promptly consult with each other and negotiate in good faith to reform and

amend this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents so as to eliminate or amend to make unobjectionable any portion that is the subject of any FCC action, provided, that the relative economic and other rights and benefits expected to be derived by the parties hereunder are preserved. None of the parties hereto shall take any action that is reasonably likely to contribute to such FCC action.

b. If the FCC should determine that a portion of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, after having been reformed pursuant to paragraph (a) above, continues to violate FCC Rules, then such provisions shall be null and void and the remainder of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect, provided, that the relative economic and other rights and benefits expected to be derived by the parties hereunder are preserved.

8.13 Governing Law.

This Credit Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed wholly within such jurisdiction.

8.14 Arbitration.

a. Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be San Diego, California or such other place as the parties may agree.

b. Arbitration Panel. The arbitration shall be heard by a panel of three arbitrators, each of whom shall be experienced in the resolution of disputes, controversies and differences relating to wireless telecommunications services. Within fifteen (15) days after the commencement of arbitration, Lender and the Loan Parties shall each select one Person to act as arbitrator and the two selected shall select a third arbitrator within ten (10) days of their appointment. If the arbitrators selected by the parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association. Resolution of the dispute, controversy or difference shall be determined by a majority vote of the arbitration panel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the arbitration is consolidated with a then-pending arbitration proceeding pursuant to Section 8.14(g) below, then the arbitrators and the place of arbitration for such then-pending proceeding shall be the arbitrators and place of arbitration hereunder.

c. Interim Relief. Any party may apply to the arbitrators seeking injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Either party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that is necessary to protect the rights or property of that party, pending the establishment of the

arbitral tribunal (or pending the arbitral tribunal’s determination of the merits of the controversy).

d. Discovery and Depositions. Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, each party shall, upon the written request of the other party, promptly provide the other with copies of documents relevant to the issues raised by any claim or counterclaim on which the producing party may rely in support of or in opposition to any claim or defense. Any dispute regarding discovery, or the relevance or scope thereof, shall be determined by the arbitrators, which determination shall be conclusive. All discovery shall be completed within forty-five (45) days following the appointment of the arbitrators. At the request of a party, the arbitrators shall have the discretion to order examination by deposition of witnesses to the extent the arbitrators deems such additional discovery relevant and appropriate. Depositions shall be limited to a maximum of five (5) per party (and its Affiliates) and shall be held within twenty (20) days of the making of a request. Each deposition shall be limited to a maximum of six (6) hours duration.
