         1.2      Interest.

                  (A)      Interest Options. From the date each Loan is made,
based upon Borrower's election 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 (C)), each Loan shall accrue interest as follows:

                           (1)      as a Base Rate Loan, at the sum of the Base
Rate plus the Base Rate Margin applicable to the Facility under which such Loan
is made as such Base rate margin may be advised from time to time as provided in
Subsection 1.2(B); or

                           (2)      as a LIBOR Loan, for the applicable Interest
Period (as defined in Subsection 1.2 (C)), at the sum of LIBOR plus the LIBOR
Margin applicable to the Facility under which such Loan is made as such LIBOR
Margin may adjusted from time to time during such Interest Period as provided in
Subsection 1.2(B);

provided that the Incremental Term Loan Facility shall accrue interest as
provided in the supplement to this Agreement documenting the Incremental Term
Loan Facility.

Except as otherwise provided in Subsection 6.6, interest on all other
Obligations shall accrue at the Base Rate plus 2.250% per annum.

                  (B)      Applicable Margins. Initially, and continuing through
the day immediately preceding the first Adjustment Date occurring after the
first consecutive four (4) fiscal quarter period in which Borrower achieves
positive Operating Cash Flow for such period, the applicable Base Rate Margin
and LIBOR Margin for Loans made under the Term Loan A Facility and the Revolving
Credit Facility shall be 2.250% and 3.500% per annum, respectively. Commencing
on such Adjustment Date, the applicable Base Rate Margin and LIBOR Margin for
Loans made under the Term Loan A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility
shall be for each Calculation Period the applicable per annum percentage set
forth in the pricing table below opposite the Total Leverage Ratio of Borrower;
provided, that effective upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until
such Event of Default is cured or waived the applicable Base Rate Margin and
LIBOR Rate Margin for Loans made under the Term Loan A Facility and the
Revolving Credit Facility shall be 2.250% and 3.500% per annum, respectively.
The applicable Base Rate Margin and LIBOR Margin for Loans made under the Term
Loan B Facility at all times shall be 3.00% and 4.00%, respectively.

                  For purposes of this Subsection 1.2(B), Operating Cash Flow
and Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated on a consolidated basis for
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, but excluding any Unrestricted
Subsidiary.

                  (C)      Interest Periods. Each LIBOR Loan may be obtained for
a one (1), two (2), three (3) or six (6) month period (each such period being an
"Interest Period"). With respect to all LIBOR Loans:

                           (i)      the 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

                           (ii)     if the 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 Interest Period would otherwise expire on a
day that is not a Business Day and such day is a day of a calendar month after
which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall
expire on the Business Day next preceding such day;

                           (iii)    any 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 Interest Period shall end
on the last Business Day of the last calendar month in such Interest Period;

                           (iv)     no Interest Period shall be selected for any
Loan if, in order to make repayments required pursuant to Subsection 1.6 in
connection with scheduled repayments or reductions of the applicable Loan
Commitments pursuant to Subsection 1.6(A), repayment of all or any portion of
such Loan prior to the expiration of such Interest Period would be necessary;
and

                           (v)      no Interest Period for Loans under the Term
Loan A Facility and the Revolving Loan Facility shall extend beyond the date set

definition of "Term Loan B Maturity Date."

                  (D)      Calculation and Payment. Interest on all LIBOR Loans
shall be calculated daily on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year
for the actual number of days elapsed. The interest on the Base Rate Loan and
all other Obligations and the amount of any fees set forth in Subsection 1.4
shall be calculated daily on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five or -six
(365-6) 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 with
respect to a LIBOR Loan shall be included in the calculation of interest. The
date of payment of any Loan and the last day of an Interest Period with respect
to a LIBOR Loan shall be excluded from the calculation of interest; provided, if
a Loan is repaid on the same day that it is made, one (1) day's interest shall
be charged.

                  Interest accruing on the Base Rate Loan is payable in arrears
on each of the following dates or events: (i) the last day of each calendar
quarter, (ii) the repayment or prepayment of such Loan (or portion thereof) and
(iii) the later of the Term Loan B Maturity Date and, if applicable, the
maturity date of the Incremental Term Loan Facility, 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 calendar quarter, (ii)
the last day of each applicable Interest Period, (iii) the repayment or
prepayment of such Loan (or portion thereof) and (iv) the later of the Term Loan
B Maturity Date and, if applicable, the maturity date of the Incremental Term
Loan Facility, in either case 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 variable rates that are two percent (2.000%) 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. Under no circumstances will the rate
of interest chargeable be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by law. If
any such excess interest is charged and paid in error, then the excess amount
will be promptly refunded.

                  (G)      Selection, Conversion or Continuation of Loans; LIBOR
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 LIBOR Loan in a principal amount equal to $3,000,000 or
any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, (ii) convert at any time all
or any portion of the Base Rate Loan in a principal amount equal to $3,000,000
or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof into one or more LIBOR
Loans, (iii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, convert all or any part
of any LIBOR Loan into the Base Rate Loan, and (iv) upon the expiration of its
Interest Period, continue any LIBOR Loan in a principal amount of $3,000,000 or
any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof into one or more LIBOR Loans
for such new Interest Period(s) as selected by Borrower. Each LIBOR Loan must

                                        6
<PAGE>

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

be made under either the Term Loan A Facility, the Term Loan B Facility, the
Incremental Term Loan Facility or the Revolving 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 then in effect expire, such Loans shall be converted into the Base Rate
Loan and the LIBOR option will not be available to Borrower until all Events of
Default are cured or waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there may be no more
than a total of six (6) Loans outstanding under the Facilities at any one time
(including, as a single Loan, for purposes hereof all amounts under the
Facilities accruing interest at the Base Rate).

         1.3      Notice of Borrowing, Conversion or Continuation of Loans.

(b) the effective date of such borrowing, conversion or continuation (which
shall be a Business Day), (c) the principal amount of such Loan to be borrowed,
converted or continued, (d) the Interest Period to be applicable to any new
LIBOR Loan, and (e) the Facility under which such borrowing, conversion or
continuation is to be made. In the event Borrower fails to elect a LIBOR 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
portion of the Base Rate Loan.

                           (4)      Incremental Term Loans. Borrower shall repay
the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Incremental Term Loans as
provided in the supplement to this Agreement documenting the Incremental Term
Loan Facility.

                  (B)      Reductions Resulting From Mandatory Repayments. The
Revolving Loan Commitment also shall be permanently reduced to the extent and in
the amount that Borrower is required, pursuant to Section 1.8, to apply
mandatory repayments to be made pursuant to Subsection 1.7 (B), (C), (D), (E) or
(F) to the Revolving Loan Facility (whether or not any Revolving Loans are then
outstanding and available to be repaid). All reductions provided for in this
Subsection 1.6(B) shall be applied in inverse order to the scheduled reductions
provided for in Subsection 1.6(A) and will result in the termination of the
Revolving Loan Commitment prior to the date set forth in clause (iii) of the
definition of the term "Revolving Loan Expiration Date."

                  (C)      Voluntary Reduction of Revolving Loan Commitment.
Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days' notice to
Administrative Agent, to permanently reduce the then unused portion of the
Revolving Loan Commitment. Each reduction shall be in a minimum amount of at
least $1,000,000, or any whole multiple of $500,000 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 therewith, the aggregate principal balance of the Loans
then outstanding would exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment as so reduced. Each
reduction pursuant to this Subsection 1.6(C) may be used as a one-time credit
against the next succeeding scheduled reduction(s) required pursuant to
Subsection 1.6(A). All amounts not so applied shall be applied in inverse order
to

                                       11

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

the scheduled reductions provided for in Subsection 1.6(A) and will result in
the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment prior to the date set forth in
clause (iii) of the definition of the term "Revolving Loan Expiration Date."

                  (D)      Mandatory Repayments. On the date of each Revolving
Loan Commitment reduction provided for in this Subsection 1.6, Borrower shall
repay Revolving Loans in an amount at least sufficient to reduce the aggregate
principal balance of Revolving Loans then outstanding to the amount of the
Revolving Loan Commitment as so reduced. If at any time the aggregate
outstanding amount of Revolving Loans exceeds the Available Revolving Loan
Commitment, Borrower shall repay Revolving Loans in an amount at least
sufficient to reduce the aggregate principal balance of Revolving Loans then
outstanding to the amount of the Available Revolving Loan Commitment, and until
such repayment is made, Lenders shall not be obligated to make Loans. Any
repayments pursuant to this Subsection 1.6(D) shall be applied in accordance
with Subsection 1.8, and shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount
repaid and any amount required pursuant to Subsection 1.4(C).

Borrower may prepay any LIBOR Loan, in whole or in part. Notice of any
prepayment of a LIBOR Loan shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. (Denver
time) on the third Business Day preceding the date of prepayment. All prepayment
notices shall be irrevocable. All prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued
interest on the amount prepaid and any amount required pursuant to Subsection
1.4(C).

                  (B)      Repayments from Excess Cash Flow. Within one hundred
twenty (120) days after the end of each of its fiscal years, commencing with the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2002, Borrower shall repay the Loans in an

year. For the purposes of this Subsection 1.7(B), Excess Cash Flow shall be
calculated on a consolidated basis for Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries,
but excluding Unrestricted Subsidiaries. All such repayments shall be applied in
accordance with Subsection 1.8.

                  (C)      Repayments from Insurance Proceeds. Borrower shall
repay the Loans in an amount equal to all Net Proceeds received by Borrower or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries which are insurance proceeds from any Asset
Disposition to the extent that such proceeds are not reinvested in equipment or
other assets that are used or useful in the business of Borrower or such
Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, within nine months of receipt by Borrower
or such Restricted Subsidiary of such proceeds. All such repayments shall be
applied in accordance with Subsection 1.8.

receipt of proceeds from the issuance of any ownership interests in Borrower or
any rights to purchase any such interest (other than from the issuance of
Management Equity Interests), Borrower shall repay the Loans in an amount equal
to fifty percent (50%) of the amount of (i) such proceeds minus (ii) all fees,
costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with such equity issuance;
provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to repay Loans from
proceeds of the issuance of the Preferred Stock or of the permitted issuance of
common stock in connection with the IWO Acquisition or the GA PCS Acquisition.
All such repayments shall be applied in accordance with Subsection 1.8.

                  (E)      Repayments from Debt Incurrence. Immediately upon

All such repayments shall be applied in accordance with Subsection 1.8.

                  (F)      Repayments from Asset Dispositions. Immediately upon

         1.8      Application of Repayments; Payment of Breakage Fees, Etc. All
repayments made pursuant to Subsections 1.7(B), (C), (D), (E) and (F) shall be
applied first pro rata to Loans outstanding under the Term Loan A Facility, the
Term Loan B Facility and, if and when applicable, the Incremental Term Loan
Facility, subject to the succeeding paragraph of this Subsection 1.8; and second
to Loans outstanding under the Revolving Loan Facility. All repayments made
pursuant to Subsection 1.7(A) shall be applied first to Loans outstanding under
the Revolving Loan Facility and then pro rata to Loans outstanding under the
Term Loan A Facility, the Term Loan B Facility and, if and when applicable, the
Incremental Term Loan Facility, subject to the succeeding paragraph of this
Subsection 1.8. All repayments made pursuant to Subsections 1.6 and 1.7 shall
first be applied to such of the applicable type of Loans as Borrower shall
direct in writing and, in the absence of such direction, shall first be applied
to the Base Rate Loan and then to such LIBOR Loans as Administrative Agent shall
determine. All repayments and prepayments required or permitted hereunder shall
be accompanied by payment of all applicable Breakage Fees and accrued interest

                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Subsection 1.7 or
this Subsection 1.8, with respect to any repayment or prepayment described in
Subsection 1.7 that is allocated to the Term Loan B Facility and, if and when
applicable, the Incremental Term Loan Facility (the "Allocated Payment Amount"),
at any time when the Term Loan A or Revolving Loans remain outstanding, Borrower
will, in lieu of applying automatically such amount to the repayment or
prepayment of the Term Loan B Facility and, if and when applicable, the
Incremental Term Loan Facility, as provided in this Subsection 1.8, at least
five Business Days prior to the date on which Borrower expects to make such
repayment or prepayment, give Administrative Agent telephonic notice (promptly
confirmed in writing) requesting that Administrative Agent prepare and provide
each Lender with a Term Loan B Commitment and, if and when applicable, an
Incremental Term Loan Commitment (each an "Electing Lender") a notice as
described below (each a "Repayment/Prepayment Option Notice"). As promptly as
practicable after receiving such notice from Borrower, Administrative Agent will
send each Electing Lender a Repayment/Prepayment Notice which shall include an
offer by Borrower to repay or prepay, as applicable, the portion of the Term
Loan B Facility or, if and when applicable, the Incremental Term Loan Facility,
as applicable, of such Electing Lender by an amount equal to such Electing
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Allocated Payment Amount on the date of the
expected repayment or prepayment (each, a "Repayment/Prepayment Date"). Each
Electing Lender shall give notice to Administrative Agent prior to the
Repayment/Prepayment Date if it elects to accept all or a portion of such
repayment or prepayment, and each Electing Lender which has not notified
Administrative Agent of whether it elects to accept such repayment or prepayment
shall be deemed to have accepted such repayment or prepayment. On the
Repayment/Prepayment Date, (i) Electing Lenders that have not expressly rejected
their Repayment/Prepayment Option Notice shall be repaid or prepaid the amount
indicated in such Repayment/Prepayment Notice and (ii) first, the Term Loan A
Facility and, second, Revolving Loan Facility shall be repaid and the Revolving
Commitment shall be reduced in the amount of the portion of Allocated Payment
Amount expressly rejected by Electing Lenders.

         1.9      Loan Accounts. Administrative Agent will maintain loan account
records for (i) all Loans, interest charges and payments thereof, (ii) the
charging and payment of all fees, costs and expenses and (iii) 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, 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 in
any manner it deems appropriate.

         1.10     Changes in LIBOR Rate Availability. If with respect to any
proposed 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 to each Lender in the relevant market
for such Interest Period, Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice
thereof to Borrower and Lenders, whereupon and until Administrative Agent
notifies Borrower 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.

                  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, 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
Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist,
(i) the obligations of Lenders to make LIBOR Loans and the right of Borrower to
convert any Loan or continue any Loan 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 Interest Period applicable thereto, such Loan shall
immediately be converted to the Base Rate Loan.

         1.11     Capital Adequacy and Other Adjustments.

                  (A)      If the introduction of or the interpretation of any
law, rule, or regulation 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 pay the amount of such
increased cost to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the affected Lenders
within fifteen (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.

                  (B)      In the event that any Lender shall have determined
that the adoption after the date hereof 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 here, Lead Arranger under, then Borrower shall from time to time
within fifteen (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) 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.

         1.12     Optional Prepayment/Replacement of Lender in Respect of
Increased Costs. Within fifteen (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 Subsection 1.11, 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 ninety (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, 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 ninety (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 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, taxes imposed on the net income of a Lender or
Administrative Agent. 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), 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.

                  (B)      Foreign Lenders. Each Lender organized under the laws
of a jurisdiction outside the United States (a "Foreign Lender") as to which
payments to be made under this Agreement or under the Notes are exempt from
United States withholding tax or are subject to United States withholding tax at
a reduced rate under an applicable statute or tax treaty shall

                                       16

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

provide to Borrower and Administrative Agent (1) a properly completed and
executed Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or Form 1001 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 (2) a 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
fifteen (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:

                           (i)      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 in lieu of net income taxes, imposed generally by
federal, state or local taxing authorities with respect to interest or
commitment or other fees payable hereunder or changes in the rate of tax on the
overall net income of Administrative Agent or such Lender); or

                           (ii)     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, or to reduce any
amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrower shall 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 determined by

                                       17

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

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 the date set forth in
clause (ii) of the definition of the term "Term Loan B Maturity Date." This
Agreement shall remain in effect through and including, and shall terminate
immediately after, the date on which all Obligations shall have been
indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full, subject to Subsection
9.16.

                                    SECTION 2

                              AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

         Borrower covenants and agrees that so long as this Agreement is in
effect and until payment in full of all Obligations, unless Requisite Lenders
shall otherwise give their prior written consent, Borrower shall perform and
comply, and shall cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to perform and comply, with
all covenants in this Section 2.

         2.1      Compliance With Laws. Borrower will (i) comply with and will
cause its Restricted 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 of its Restricted Subsidiaries are now or
hereafter doing business, other than those laws, rules, regulations and orders
the noncompliance with which could not reasonably be expected to have, either
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) obtain and
maintain and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to obtain and
maintain all licenses, qualifications and permits (including the Licenses) now
held or hereafter required to be held by Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, the loss, suspension or revocation of which or which the failure
to obtain or renew could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. This Subsection 2.1 shall not preclude Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries 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.

maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition
all material properties used in the business of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries, and will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs,
renewals and replacements thereof. Borrower will and will cause each of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially
sound and reputable insurers, public liability, property loss and damage and
business interruption insurance with respect to its business and properties and
the business and properties of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries against
loss and damage of the kinds customarily carried or maintained by corporations
of established reputation engaged in the cellular telephone and wireless
communications industry and in amounts acceptable to Administrative Agent and
will deliver evidence thereof to Administrative Agent. 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 or any Lender determines that flood
insurance coverage is required to be obtained for such Collateral in order for
Administrative Agent or such Lender to comply with the FDPA, Borrower shall or
shall cause the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor to, obtain and maintain such
flood insurance policies as Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably
requests so that Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be deemed in
compliance with the FDPA and shall deliver evidence thereof to Administrative
Agent or such Lender. Such policies of flood insurance shall be in form
satisfactory to Administrative Agent or such Lender and shall be in an amount of
at least the lessor 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,
and will cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, cause Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders, pursuant to endorsements
and assignments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative
Agent to be named, (i) as a lender loss payee in the case of casualty insurance,
(ii) as an additional insured in the case of all liability insurance, (iii) as
assignee in the case of all business interruption insurance and (iv) as an
additional insured in the case of all flood insurance. All insurance policies
required hereunder shall (i) include effective waivers by the insurer of
subrogation, (ii) provide that all insurance proceeds shall be adjusted with and
paid to Administrative Agent and (iii) be non-cancelable as to Administrative
Agent except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice given by the insurer to
Administrative Agent.

         2.3      Inspection; Lender Meeting. Borrower will and will cause each
of its Subsidiaries to permit any authorized representatives of any Lender (i)
to visit and inspect any of the properties of Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
including their financial and accounting records, and to make copies and take
extracts therefrom, (ii) for the purpose of determining or monitoring the value
of the collateral, to obtain environmental audits or assessments (including soil
samples) by an independent engineer of any Collateral constituting real estate
or interests in real estate, and (iii) to discuss its and their affairs,
finances and business with its and their officers, employees and certified
public accountants, at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as
often as may be reasonably requested. Without in any way limiting the foregoing,
Borrower will and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to participate and will
cause its and their key management personnel to participate in a meeting with
Administrative Agent and Lenders at least once during

                                       19

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 Restricted Subsidiaries
to at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence
and good standing and all rights and franchises material to its or their
business.

         2.5      Use of Proceeds. Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans
solely for the purposes described in the recital paragraphs to this Agreement.
No part of any Loan will be used to purchase any margin securities or otherwise
in violation of the regulations of the Federal Reserve System.

         2.6      Further Assurances; Notices of Acquisition of Realty and
Amounts in Deposit Accounts. Borrower will and will cause each of the Subsidiary
Guarantors, from time to time, to 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 writing quarterly (in connection with providing
Compliance Certificates pursuant to Subsection 4.12(c)) of (a) the acquisition
(including by way of lease) by Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any
Realty (and the cost thereof or annual rentals with respect thereto) during the
preceding quarter and (b) all deposit, checking, savings, investment or similar
accounts of Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor (including a summary of the
use of such accounts and average balances), and will, from time to time as
requested by Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders, execute and deliver all
such additional documents and instruments as Administrative Agent or Requisite
Lenders may require pursuant to this Section 2.6 (including mortgages, title
insurance policies, environmental audits, surveys, account control agreement 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. Borrower hereby consents and agrees that the amount of any distributions
with respect to its patronage with CoBank that are made in qualified written
notices of allocation (as defined in 26 U.S.C. ss. 1388) and that are received
by Borrower from CoBank, will be taken into account by Borrower at the stated
dollar amounts whether the distribution is evidenced by a participation
certificate or other form of written notice that such distribution has

                                       20
<PAGE>

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

been made and recorded in the name of Borrower on the records of CoBank.
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. On the Closing
Date, Borrower shall and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to execute and
deliver to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and all Lenders,
Collateral Contract Assignments with respect to each of the Material Contracts

shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to, promptly execute and deliver to
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and all Lenders, all such
Collateral Contract Assignments with respect to Material Contracts as
Administrative Agent may request from time to time.

         2.9      Year 2000 Preparation. Borrower shall take all action
necessary to assure that Borrower's and each Restricted Subsidiary's
computer-based systems are able to operate and effectively process data
including dates prior to, on and after January 1, 2000 (that is, be "Year 2000
compliant") and to implement the plan described in Subsection 5.20 in accordance
with the timetable described in Subsection 5.20. Borrower shall use its best
efforts to assure that its and its Restricted Subsidiaries' material third-party
customers, suppliers and vendors develop and implement programs to be Year 2000
compliant. At the request of any Lender, Borrower shall provide such Lender
assurance reasonably satisfactory to such Lender of Borrower's and its
Restricted Subsidiaries' compliance with this Subsection 2.9. Borrower shall
advise the Administrative Agent and the Lenders promptly of any reasonably
anticipated Material Adverse Effect resulting from an inability of Borrower's
and its Restricted Subsidiaries' or any third-party's computer-based systems to
be Year 2000 compliant.

         2.10     Enforcement of Sprint Agreements. Borrower will diligently
enforce and will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries diligently to enforce the
obligations of Sprint under the Sprint Agreements.

consented in writing to such amendment, waiver or termination.

(including, but not limited to, capitalization of costs and expenses or payment
of pre-Closing Date liabilities) shall be treated as expenses in the period the
expenditures are made.

                                    SECTION 5

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         In order to induce Administrative Agent and Lenders to enter into this
Agreement and to make Loans, Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative
Agent and each Lender on the Closing Date and on the date of each request for a
Loan that the following statements are true, correct and complete:

         5.1      Disclosure. No information furnished by or on behalf of
Borrower or any Subsidiary contained in this Agreement, the financial statements
referred to in Subsection 5.8 or any other document, certificate, opinion or
written statement furnished to any Agent or any Lender for use in connection
with the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances in which the same were made. Borrower is not aware of any facts
which it has not disclosed in writing to the Agents having a Material Adverse
Effect, or insofar as Borrower can now foresee, that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         5.2      No Material Adverse Effect. Since December 31, 1998, there has
been no event or change in facts or circumstance affecting Borrower or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries which individually or in the aggregate have had or
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and that have not
been disclosed herein or in the attached Schedules.

         5.3      Organization, Powers, Authorization and Good Standing.

                  (A)      Organization and Powers. Each of Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries is a limited liability company, corporation or
partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of its jurisdiction of incorporation (which jurisdiction is set forth on
Schedule 5.3(A)). Each of Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has
all requisite legal power and authority to own and operate its properties, to
carry on its business as now conducted and proposed to be conducted, to enter
into each Loan Document to which it is a party and to carry out its respective
obligations with respect thereto.

                  (B)      Authorization; Binding Obligation. Each of Borrower
and its Restricted Subsidiaries has taken all necessary corporate and other
action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
and each of the other Loan Documents to which it is

                                       37
<PAGE>

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

a party. This Agreement is, and the other Loan Documents when executed and
delivered will be, the legally valid and binding obligations of the applicable
parties thereto (other than Administrative Agent and the Lenders), each
enforceable against each of such parties, as applicable, in accordance with
their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar state or federal debt or
relief laws from time to time in effect which affect the enforcement of
creditors' rights in general and general principles of equity.

                  (C)      Qualification. Each of Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries is duly qualified and authorized to do business and in good
standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business and operations
requires such qualification and authorization, except where the failure to be so
qualified, authorized and in good standing could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. All jurisdictions in which each such Person is
qualified and authorized to do business are set forth on Schedule 5.3 (C).

         5.4      Compliance of Agreement, Loan Documents and Borrowings with
Applicable Law. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and each of
its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Loan Documents to which each such Person is a
party, the borrowings hereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby do not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice or
otherwise, (i) except as set forth on Schedule 5.4 hereto, require any
Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable Law relating to Borrower or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or
constitute a default under the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other
organizational documents of Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or
any Material Contract to which such Person is a party or by which any of its
properties may be bound or any Governmental Approval relating to such Person or
(iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with
respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Person.

         5.5      Compliance with Law; Governmental Approvals. Each of Borrower
and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries (i) has all material Governmental
Approvals, including the Licenses, required by any Applicable Law for it to
conduct its business and (ii) is in material compliance with each Governmental
Approval, including the Licenses, applicable to it and in compliance with all
other Applicable Laws relating to it or any of its respective properties the
violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Each such Governmental Approval is in full force and effect, is final
and not subject to review on appeal and is not the subject of any pending or
threatened attack by direct or collateral proceeding.

         5.6      Tax Returns and Payments. Each of Borrower and each of its
Restricted Subsidiaries has duly filed or caused to be filed all federal, state,
local and other tax returns required by Applicable Law to be filed, and has
paid, or made adequate provision for the payment of, all federal, state, local
and other taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it and its
property, income, profits and assets which are due and payable, except where the
payment of such tax is being diligently contested in good faith and adequate
reserves therefor have been established in compliance with GAAP. The charges,
accruals and reserves on the books of Borrower and each of its Restricted
Subsidiaries in respect of federal, state, local

                                       38
<PAGE>

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

and other taxes for all fiscal years and portions thereof are in the judgment of
Borrower adequate, and neither Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
anticipates any additional material taxes or assessments for any of such years.

         5.7      Environmental Matters. Each of Borrower and each of its
Restricted Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with all
applicable Environmental Laws, and there is no contamination at, under or about
such properties or such operations which interfere in any material respect with
the continued operation of such properties or impair in any material respect the
fair saleable value thereof, except for any such violations or contamination as
could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect.

         5.8      Financial Statements. All financial statements concerning
Borrower and its Subsidiaries which have been or will hereafter be furnished to
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement have been or will be prepared in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied (except as disclosed therein) and do
or will present fairly the financial condition of the Persons covered thereby as
of the date thereof and the results of their operations for the periods covered
thereby and do and will disclose all material liabilities and Contingent
Obligations of any of Borrower or its Subsidiaries as at the dates thereof.
Neither Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has outstanding, as of
the Closing Date, and after giving effect to the initial Loans hereunder on the
Closing Date, any Indebtedness for borrowed money or Contingent Obligations
other than (i) the Loans, (ii) the Indebtedness permitted under Subsection 3.1,
and (iii) the Contingent Obligations permitted under Subsection 3.4.

         5.9      Intellectual Property. Each of Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries owns, or possesses through valid licensing arrangements, the right
to use all patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, service marks,
technology know-how and processes used in or necessary for the conduct of its
business as currently conducted (collectively, the "Intellectual Property
Rights") without infringing upon any validly asserted rights of others. No event
has occurred which permits, or after notice or lapse of time or both would
permit, the revocation or termination of any such rights. Neither Borrower nor
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has been threatened with any litigation
regarding Intellectual Property Rights that would present a material impediment
to the business of any such Person.

         5.10     Litigation, Investigations, Audits, Etc. Except as set forth
on Schedule 5.10, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending
against, or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or in any other
manner relating adversely to, Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or
any of their respective properties, including the Licenses, in any court or
before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority
(including the FCC). None of the actions, suits, proceedings or investigations
disclosed on Schedule 5.10 (i) calls into question the validity of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (ii) individually or collectively
involves the possibility of any judgment or liability not fully covered by
insurance which, if determined adversely to Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Neither Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is the subject of any
review or audit by the Internal Revenue Service or

                                       39
<PAGE>

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

any investigation by any Governmental Authority concerning the violation or
possible violation of any law.

         5.11     Employee Labor Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.11,
(i) none of Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries nor any of their respective
employees is subject to any collective bargaining agreement, (ii) no petition
for certification or union election is pending with respect to the employees of
any such Person and no union or collective bargaining unit has sought such
certification or recognition with respect to the employees of any such Person
and (iii) there are no strikes, slowdowns, work stoppages or controversies
pending or, to the best knowledge of Borrower after due inquiry, threatened
between any such Person and its respective employees, other than employee
grievances arising in the ordinary course of business which could not reasonably
be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect.

         5.12     Employee Benefit Plans. Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with the applicable
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended,
and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder, the failure to
comply with which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

         5.13     Communications Regulatory Matters.

                  (A)      Schedule 5.13(A) sets forth a true and complete list
of the following information for each License issued to Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries: the name of the licensee, the type of service, the
expiration date and the geographic area covered by such License.

                  (B)      The Licenses are valid and in full force and effect
without conditions except for such conditions as are generally applicable to
holders of such Licenses. No event has occurred and is continuing which could
reasonably be expected to (i) result in the imposition of a material forfeiture
or the revocation, termination or adverse modification of any such License or
(ii) materially and adversely affect any rights of Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder. Borrower has no reason to believe and has no
knowledge that any Licenses will not be renewed in the ordinary course, except
that all of the Licenses are subject to revocation if LA Unwired fails to meet
required build-out requirements due to obligations to Sprint pursuant to the
Sprint Agreements to use Sprint spectrum. Neither Borrower nor any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries is a party to any investigation, notice of violation,
order or complaint issued by or before the FCC, and there are no proceedings
pending by or before the FCC which could in any manner threaten or adversely
affect the validity of any License.

                  (C)      All of the material properties, equipment and systems
owned, leased or managed by Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are, and
(to the best knowledge of Borrower) all such property, equipment and systems to
be acquired or added in connection with any contemplated system expansion or
construction will be, in good repair, working order and condition (reasonable
wear and tear excepted) and are and will be in compliance with all terms

                                       40
<PAGE>

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

and conditions of the Licenses and all standards or rules imposed by any
Governmental Authority or as imposed under any agreements with telephone
companies and customers.

                  (D)      Each of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has
paid all franchise, license or other fees and charges which have become due
pursuant to any Governmental Approval in respect of its business and has made
appropriate provision as is required by GAAP for any such fees and charges which
have accrued.

         5.14     Perfection and Priority. The Security Interest is a valid and
perfected first priority lien, security title or security interest in the
Collateral in favor of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and
Lenders, securing, in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents, the
Obligations, and the Collateral is subject to no Lien other than permitted
pursuant to Subsection 3.2. The Security Interest is enforceable as security for
the Obligations in accordance with its terms.

         5.15     Solvency. Each of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries:
(i) owns and will own assets the present fair saleable value of which are (a)
greater than the total amount of liabilities (including contingent liabilities)
of Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary and (b) greater than the amount that
will be required to pay the probable liabilities of its then existing debts and
liabilities as they become absolute and matured considering all financing
alternatives and potential asset sales reasonably available to Borrower or such
Restricted Subsidiary; (ii) has capital that is not unreasonably small in
relation to its business as presently conducted or after giving effect to any
contemplated transaction; and (iii) does not intend to incur and does not
believe that it will incur debts and liabilities beyond its ability to pay such
debts and liabilities as they become due.

         5.16     Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding Act. None of
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is an "investment company" as
that term is defined in and is not otherwise subject to regulation under, the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. None of Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries is a "holding company" as that term is defined in, and
is not otherwise subject to regulation under, the Public Utility Holding Company
Act of 1935, as amended.

         5.17     Certain Agreements and Material Contracts. Schedule 5.17 sets
forth a complete and accurate list of all loan agreements, indentures,
guarantees, capital leases and other similar credit or reimbursement agreements
and all Material Contracts of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. Each of
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has performed all of its material
obligations under such agreements and Material Contracts and, to the best
knowledge of Borrower, each other party thereto is in compliance with each such
agreement or Material Contract. Each such agreement or Material Contract is in
full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof. Borrower has made
available a true and complete copy of each such agreement or Material Contract
listed on Schedule 5.17 for inspection by Administrative Agent.

                                       41

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

         5.18     Capitalization. The outstanding capital stock or other
ownership interests of Borrower's Subsidiaries is described on Schedule 5.18.
All such capital stock or other ownership interests are owned beneficially and
of record as shown on Schedule 5.18.

         5.19     Title to Properties. Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary
has such title or leasehold interest in and to the real property owned or leased
by it as is necessary or desirable to the conduct of its business and valid and
legal title or leasehold interest in and to all of its personal property,
including those reflected on the balance sheets of Borrower delivered pursuant
to Subsection 5.8, except those which have been disposed of by Borrower
subsequent to such date which dispositions have been in the ordinary course of
business or as otherwise expressly permitted hereunder. Borrower owns no real
property.

         5.20     Year 2000 Compliance. Each of Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries has (i) initiated a review and assessment of all areas within its
business and operations (including those affected by suppliers, vendors and
customers) that could be adversely affected by the "Year 2000 Problem" (that is,
the risk that computer applications used by such Person (or its suppliers,
vendors and customers) may be unable to recognize and perform properly
date-sensitive functions involving certain dates prior to, on and after December
31, 1999), (ii) developed a plan and timeline for addressing the Year 2000
Problem on a timely basis, and (iii) to date, implemented that plan in
accordance with the timetable. Based on the foregoing, each of Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries believes that all computer applications (including those
of its suppliers, vendors and customers) that are material to its and their
business and operations are reasonably expected on a timely basis to be able to
perform properly date-sensitive functions for all dates before and after January
1, 2000 (that is, be "Year 2000 compliant"), except to the extent that a failure
to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         5.21     Incorporation of Representation and Warranties. The
representations and warranties of Borrower contained in the Preferred Stock
Documents and the Subordinated Debt Documents are true and correct in all
material respects as of each date that the representations and warranties under

demand, may immediately

                                       46
<PAGE>

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

cease making additional Loans and cause its obligation to lend its Pro Rata
Share of each Loan Commitment to be suspended; provided that, in the case of a
Default, if the subject condition or event is waived, cured or removed by
Requisite Lenders within any applicable grace or cure period, any suspended
portion of the Loan Commitments shall be reinstated.

         6.3      Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
described in the foregoing Subsections 6.1(F) or 6.1(G), the unpaid principal
amount of and accrued interest and fees on the Loans and all other Obligations
shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment,
demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or other
requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower,
and the obligations of Administrative Agent and Lenders to make Loans shall
thereupon terminate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other
Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, and upon written demand by Requisite
Lenders shall, by written notice to Borrower declare all or any portion of the
Loans and all or some of the other Obligations to be, and the same shall
forthwith become, immediately due and payable together with accrued interest
thereon, and upon such acceleration the obligations of Administrative Agent and
Lenders to make Loans shall thereupon terminate.

         6.4      Rights of Collection. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default and at any time thereafter and unless and until such Event of Default is
waived by Requisite Lenders, Administrative Agent may exercise on behalf of
Lenders all of their other rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents and Applicable Law, in order to satisfy all of Borrower's
Obligations.

         6.5      Consents. Borrower acknowledges that certain transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and certain actions
which may be taken by Administrative Agent or Lenders in the exercise of their
respective rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may require
the consent of a Governmental Authority. If counsel to 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 sole cost and expense,
agrees to use its reasonable efforts, and to cause its Restricted Subsidiaries
to use their reasonable 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. In such event, Borrower shall, at the request of
Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by
Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to
Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the highest rate of
interest in effect upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as specified in
Subsection 1.2(E) from the date of such expenditure until paid.

                                       47
<PAGE>

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that Administrative Agent
shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any
obligation of Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

         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 (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 Restricted Subsidiaries (regardless of whether such
balances are then due to Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries), 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 Restricted 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 sentence.

         6.8      Application of Payments. Subsequent to the acceleration of the
Loans pursuant to Subsection 6.3, all payments received by the Lenders on the
Obligations and on the proceeds from the enforcement of the Obligations shall be
distributed pro rata among the Loans and shall be further applied among
Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows: First, to all Administrative
Agent's fees and expenses then due and payable, then to all other expenses then
due and payable by Borrower hereunder, then to all indemnitee obligations then
due and payable by Borrower hereunder, then to all commitment and other fees and
commissions then due and payable by Borrower, then to accrued and unpaid
interest on the Loans (pro rata) in accordance with all such amounts due on the
Loans), and then to the principal amount of the Loans (pro rata among all
Loans), in that order.

         6.9      Adjustments. If any Lender (a "Benefitted 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, if any,
in respect of such other Lender's Loans, or interest thereon, such Benefitted
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 Benefitted 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 Benefitted Lender,
such purchase shall be rescinded, and the

                                       48
<PAGE>

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

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.

                                    SECTION 7

accountants, in the form described in Subsection 4.12(B)(ii).

                  (D)      Miscellaneous.

                           (1)      Regulatory Requirements. Administrative
Agent shall have received evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Agents, that the
IWO Acquisition does not violate the foreign-ownership requirements of the
Communication Act.

                           (2)      Sprint Certificate. Sprint shall have
executed and delivered to Administrative Agent a certificate as to breaches or
potential Events of Termination under the Sprint Agreements as to IWO, in form
and content reasonably satisfactory to Agents.

                           (3)      No Default. No event would result from the
consummation of the IWO Acquisition that would constitute an Event of Default or
a Default.

                           (4)      Indebtedness of IWO. The documentation
evidencing IWO's Indebtedness shall be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Agents.

                                    SECTION 8

                          ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION

         8.1      Assignments and Participations in Loans and Notes. Each Lender
(including CoBank) may assign, subject to the terms of a Lender Addition
Agreement, its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement to one
or more Persons, provided that (a) such Lender shall first obtain the written
consent of each of Administrative Agent and, if no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower, which consents shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; (b) the Pro Rata Share of a Loan Commitment
being assigned shall in no event be less than the lesser of (i) $5,000,000
(which may be aggregated where several Lenders are simultaneously assigning to
the same Person) and (ii) the entire amount of the Pro Rata Share of such Loan
Commitment of the assigning Lender; and (c) upon the consummation of each such
assignment the assigning Lender shall pay Administrative Agent

                                       60

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

a non-refundable administrative fee of $2,000; provided, that in connection with
an assignment from a Lender to an affiliate of such Lender written consent of
Borrower shall not be required and no administrative fee shall be payable. 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
(5) 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 Borrower (if required), together
with any Note subject to such assignment and the processing fee referred to
above, 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, upon surrender of the assigning
Lender's Note, issue a new Note to reflect the interests of the assigning Lender
and the Person to which interests are to be assigned.

         Each Lender (including Administrative Agent) may sell participations in
all or any part of its Pro Rata Share of each Loan Commitment to one or more
Persons; provided that such Lender shall first obtain the prior written consent
of Administrative Agent; 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, interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan;
(ii) any extension of the Expiration Date, or any change of any date fixed for
any payment of any of the Obligations; and (iii) any consent to the assignment,
delegation or other transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations
under any Loan Document. 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."

                                       61

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

         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 Note 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 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,
so long as 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.

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

         8.2      Agents.

                  (A)      Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints
and authorizes (i) CoBank, as Administrative Agent, to act as Administrative
Agent 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, (ii) The Bank of New York, as Documentation Agent, to act as
Documentation Agent for all of the Facilities hereunder and under any other Loan
Document with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Documentation
Agent by the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, together with
such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (iii) First Union
Securities, Inc., formerly known as First Union Capital Markets Corp., as
Syndication Agent, to act as Syndication Agent for all of the Facilities
hereunder and under any other Loan Document with such powers as are specifically
delegated to the Syndication Agent by the terms of this Agreement and any other
Loan Document, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto, and to act as Lead Arranger for the Term Loan B Facility.
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 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 Agents 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 an agent
of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any
obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust

                                       62
<PAGE>

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

with or for Borrower. Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents or
attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct
of any agents or attorneys-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

                  (B)      Nature of Duties. The duties of Agents, Lend Arranger
and Co-Arrangers shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. None of
Agents, Lead Arranger or Co-Arranger shall 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 Agents, Lead Arranger or Co-Arrangers 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 or any other Agent, Lead Arranger or any Co-Arranger nor
any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it
and that no act by Agent, Lead Arranger or Co-Arrangers or any such Person
hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by
Agent, Lead Arranger or Co-Arrangers to any Lender. Each Lender represents to
Agent, Lead Arranger and Co-Arrangers that (i) it has, independently and without
reliance upon Agents, Lead Arranger, Co-Arrangers 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
its Subsidiaries 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 Agents, Lead Arranger, Co-Arrangers 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 and its Subsidiaries. Neither Administrative Agent,
any other Agent, Lead Arranger, nor Co-Arrangers shall have any 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. None of Agents, Lead
Arranger or Co-Arrangers nor any of their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact shall 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 or willful misconduct.
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution
of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or
distribution is subsequently deter mined to have been made in error the sole
recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover

                                       63
<PAGE>

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

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 the 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.

                  (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.

                           (1)      Lenders will reimburse and indemnify each
Agent and Co-Arranger and their respective officers, directors, employees,
agents, attorneys-in-fact and Affiliates, on demand for and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses (including, attorneys' fees and expenses), advances or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against any Agent or Co-Arranger (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 such Agent or Co-Arranger 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

                                       64
<PAGE>

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

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 such Agent's or Co-Arranger's gross negligence
or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to Administrative Agent 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)(1) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.

                           (2)      Lenders under the Term Loan B Facility will
reimburse and indemnify Lead Arranger and its officers, directors, employees,
agents, attorneys-in-fact and Affiliates, on demand for and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses (including, attorneys' fees and expenses), advances or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against Lead Arranger (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
Lead Arranger 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 such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan B
Commitment; provided, that no such Lender under the Term Loan B Facility shall
be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements
resulting from Lead Arranger's gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any
indemnity furnished to Administrative Agent 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 the Term Loan B Facility under this
Subsection 8.2(E)(2) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and
the termination of this Agreement.

                  (F)      CoBank Individually. With respect to its obligations
under the Loan Commitments, the Loans made by it, and the Notes issued to it,
CoBank 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
CoBank in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Requisite Lenders.
CoBank may lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or
other business with, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as if it were not
acting as Administrative Agent pursuant hereto.

                  (G)      Notice of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be
required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of
any of the terms, provisions or

                                       65
<PAGE>

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

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 not 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 Administrative 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 the Required
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 it shall deem advisable and in the best
interests of Lenders.

                  (H)      Successor Administrative 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 thirty (30) Business Days' prior written notice to
Borrower and Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by
a successor Administrative 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,
upon receipt, if no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, of Borrower's prior consent which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, appoint a successor Administrative Agent from among Lenders. If a
successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within the
thirty (30) Business Day period, referred to in clause (1) above, the retiring
Administrative Agent, upon notice to Borrower, shall then appoint a successor
Administrative Agent from among Lenders who shall serve as Administrative Agent
until such time, if any, as Requisite Lenders, upon receipt of Borrower's prior
written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided above.

                           (3)      Successor Administrative Agent. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents
by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan
Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation as
Administrative 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent upon any property
covered by the Security Documents (i) upon termination of the Loan Commitments
and payment and satisfaction of all Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification Obligations not then due and payable); (ii) constituting
property being sold or disposed of if Borrower certifies to Administrative Agent
that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement (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; provided that in
any fiscal year, the consent of all Lenders shall be required for any release or
compromise of Collateral or the proceeds thereof if (a) such Collateral
constitutes a License or (b) the net book value of such Collateral and proceeds,
together with the net book value of all other Collateral and proceeds released
in such fiscal year, exceeds ten percent (10%) of the net book value of all
assets of Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries (both excluding the
Unrestricted Subsidiaries) as of the last day of the preceding fiscal year
(minus, during the fiscal year in which the Incremental Term Loan Facility is
established, the principal amount of the Incremental Term Loan Facility), as
determined by Administrative Agent.

                           (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 Requisite Lenders, if
any, of its authority to release or compromise any particular item or types of
property covered by the Security Documents, and upon at least ten (10) 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 the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of
Collateral, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the property
covered by the Security Documents.

Credit Agreement/US Unwired Inc.

                           (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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent 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 the Lenders and that
Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any of the
other Lenders, provided that Administrative Agent shall exercise the same care
which it would in dealing with loans for its own account.

                  (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. 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 to provide Lenders with any information received by
Administrative Agent from Borrower which is required to be provided to a Lender
hereunder, 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 gross negligence 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.

                  (B)      In the event Administrative Agent requests the
consent of a Lender and does not receive a written consent or denial thereof
within ten (10) 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 time) on 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 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 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 credit each
Lender's account with its Pro Rata Share of such payment in accordance with such
Lender's Pro Rata Share and shall 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, 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 any default by such Lender under this Agreement.

                  (C)      Return of Payments

                           (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.

         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 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, 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.

         9.6      Severability. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability
in any jurisdiction of any provision under the Loan Documents shall not affect
or impair the remaining provisions in the Loan Documents.

         9.7      Lenders' Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders'
Rights. The obligation of each Lender hereunder is several and not joint and no
Lender shall be responsible for the obligation or commitment of any other Lender
hereunder. In the event that any Lender at any time should fail to make a Loan
as herein provided, the Lenders, or any of them, at their sole option, may make
the Loan that was to have been made by the Lender so failing to make such Loan.
Nothing contained in any Loan Document and no action taken by Administrative
Agent or any Lender pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute
Lenders to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind
of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a
separate and independent debt.

         9.8      Headings. Section and Subsection headings are included herein
for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this
Agreement for any other purposes or be given substantive effect.

         9.9      Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND SHALL

and assigns except that Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations
hereunder without the written consent of all Lenders.

         9.11     No Fiduciary Relationship. No provision in the Loan Documents

Lender.

         9.12     Construction. Each Agent, Lead Arranger, each Co-Arranger,
each Lender and Borrower acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of

constructed as if jointly drafted by each Agent, each Co-Arranger, each Lender
and Borrower.

         9.13     Confidentiality. Agents, Lead Arranger, Co-Arrangers and
Lenders agree to hold any confidential information that they may receive from

accountants and other professional advisors of Agents, Co-Arrangers or Lenders;

Lead Arranger, Co-Arrangers or Lenders shall promptly notify Borrower, so that
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may seek a protective order or other
appropriate remedy); and (v) to another Person in connection with a disposition
or proposed disposition to that Person of all or part of that Lender's interests
hereunder or a participation interest in its Pro Rata Share, provided that such
disclosure is made subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement on terms
substantially similar to this Subsection 9.13. For purposes of the foregoing,
"confidential information" shall mean all information respecting Borrower or its
Subsidiaries, other than (A) information previously filed by Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries with any Governmental Authority and available to the public,
and (B) information previously published in any public medium from a source
other than, directly or indirectly, Lenders.

         9.14     Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. (A) BORROWER
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED
STATES FEDERAL COURT OR COLORADO STATE COURT IN THE STATE OF COLORADO HAVING
SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION OVER ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS. BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL
CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN
ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE
AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH
COURT, PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN
INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION.

SENT PURSUANT TO SUBSECTION 9.3 AND THAT PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS SHALL NOT

AND EACH LENDER FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER
WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY
TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS

RELATING TO THE LOANS. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED
