 4Amendment to Section 3.5 of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

 Exhibit 10.5 
 August 7, 2008 
 Mr. James W. Morozzi 
 Chief Executive Officer 
 D & E Communications, Inc. 
 124 East Main Street 
 Ephrata, Pennsylvania 17522 
  

	 	Re:	Amendment to Credit Agreement 

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 Reference is made to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 19, 2006 (as amended, modified, supplemented, extended or
restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among D & E Communications, Inc. (the “Borrower”), CoBank, ACB, as the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and a Lender, the Subsidiary Guarantors
referred to therein, and the other Lenders party to such Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement. 
 Amendment 
 The Loan Parties have requested that the Lenders amend Subsection
3.5(A) of the Credit Agreement to permit the Borrower to redeem the equity interests in any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries. In reliance on the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties in this letter agreement and subject to the
effectiveness of this letter agreement as described below, the Lenders hereby agree to amend Subsection 3.5(A) by deleting it in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following: 
 (A) in any fiscal year, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists before such Restricted Junior Payment or would result
after giving effect to the payment of such Restricted Junior Payment, Borrower may provide, make, declare, or pay, directly or indirectly, any dividend or other distribution of assets to its shareholders and redeem equity interests in any Loan Party
or any of its Subsidiaries, in an aggregate amount for all such dividends, distributions and redemptions for such fiscal year not to exceed $10,000,000; and 
 General 
 Except as expressly provided by this letter agreement, the terms and provisions of the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall continue in full force and effect. By agreeing to this letter agreement as acknowledged below, each of the Loan Parties hereby represents, certifies and
warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that each of its representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party 

  

 1 

 
are true and correct as of the effective date of this letter agreement, including that no Default or Event of Default exists, with the same effect as though
made on such effective date (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, in which case such representations or warranty shall be true and correct as of such specified date).
The amendment provided herein is to be effective only upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of an execution counterpart of this letter agreement signed by each Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders, and such amendment is
conditioned upon the correctness of all representations and warranties made by each Loan Party herein or as provided to the Administrative Agent in connection with the request for such amendment. The amendment contained herein shall not constitute a
course of dealing between the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, shall not constitute a waiver, extension or forbearance of any Default or Event of Default, now or hereafter arising, or except as expressly provided above an
amendment of any provision of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Loan Parties agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Administrative Agent, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this letter agreement and all other instruments and documents contemplated
hereby. This letter agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with all provisions of the Credit Agreement and may be executed in multiple counterparts.
