case of a Prime Rate Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, one
Business Day before a proposed Borrowing. Each

-33-

 

Request for Financing
(including a telephonic Request for Financing) shall be irrevocable, shall be
signed by or on behalf of the Borrowers and shall specify the following
information: (i) whether such Borrowing is to be a LIBOR Borrowing or a Prime
Rate Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day
and is defined herein as the “Drawdown Date”); (iii) the number and location of
the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such
Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a LIBOR Borrowing, the initial
Interest Period with respect thereto. If no election as to the Type of
Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall
be a LIBOR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR
Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrowers shall be deemed
to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Tranche A Lenders of any notice
given pursuant to this Section 2.2 (and the contents thereof), of each Tranche
A Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing and the account to which Tranche
A Advances made in connection with the requested Borrowing are to be wired.
The aggregate amount to be advanced by the Tranche A Lenders pursuant to a
Request for Financing satisfying the foregoing shall be limited to a principal
amount which shall equal the least of (y) the amount requested as a Tranche A
Advance pursuant to such Request for Financing, or (z) subject to Section 2.1
hereof, the Tranche A Available Commitment.

         (b)  Each Tranche A Advance shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting
of Tranche A Advances made by the Tranche A Lenders ratably in accordance with
their applicable Tranche A Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of
any Tranche A Lender to make any Tranche A Advance shall not in itself relieve
any other Tranche A Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being
understood, however, that no Tranche A Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Tranche A Lender to make any Tranche A Advance required to
be made by such other Tranche A Lender). No more than two Tranche A Advances
shall be made in any calendar month. No Tranche A Advance shall be made until
all requirements of Section 10.2 have been satisfied. The amount of each
Tranche A Advance shall be limited, as of the proposed date for the requested
Borrowing, to the lesser of (A) the difference of (i) $56,650,000 less (ii) the
aggregate amount of Tranche A Advances theretofore made and (B) the (i)
difference of (a) $100,000,000 less (ii) the Free Cash at such time.

         (c)  Subject to Section 2.11, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of
Prime Advances or LIBOR Advances as the Borrowers may request pursuant to
subsection 2.1(a). Each Lender may at its option make any LIBOR Advance by
causing any domestic or foreign branch of such Lender to make such Advance;
provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of
the Borrowers to repay such Advance in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same
time; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request
any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than ten (10) LIBOR
Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing,
Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they
commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

         (d)  Each Tranche A Lender shall make each Tranche A Advance to be made by
it hereunder on the Drawdown Date thereof by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to such

-34-

 

account in Chicago as the Administrative Agent may
designate not later than 12:00 p.m. (noon), Chicago time, and the
Administrative Agent shall, promptly upon receipt thereof, credit the amounts
so received to an account as designated by the Borrowers in accordance with
subsection 2.2(g), in the applicable Request for Financing, or, if a Borrowing
shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified
shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective
Tranche A Lenders.

         (e)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Tranche A Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Tranche A Lender
will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Tranche A Lender’s
portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Tranche A Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on
the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection 2.2(d) above and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption make available to
the Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent
shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Tranche A
Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent,
such Tranche A Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together
with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available
to the Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative
Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate(s) applicable at
the time to the Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such
Tranche A Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent
its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error). If such Tranche A Lender shall repay to the
Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute
such Tranche A Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this
Agreement.

         (f)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers
shall not be entitled to request any Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR
Borrowing that would end after the Maturity Date.

Section 2.3 Evidence of Debt.

         (a)  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an
account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender
resulting from each Advance made by such Lender from time to time, including
the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid such Lender from time to
time under this Agreement.

         (b)  The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will
record (i) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, the Type thereof and the
Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to
each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrowers or any Guarantor and
each Lender’s share thereof.

-35-

 

         (c)  The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to subsections
2.3(a) and 2.3(b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the
failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or
any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the
Borrowers to repay the Advances in accordance with their terms.

         (d)  Any Lender may request that Advances made by it be evidenced by a
promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to
such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if
requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns)
substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (each a “Financing Note”).

Section 2.4 Repayment of Principal of Advances.

         (a)  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent the principal of
each Tranche A Advance made by the Lenders in consecutive semi-annual
installments on each Payment Date commencing with the first Payment Date
occurring at least one year after the date on which such Tranche A Advance was
made. The amount of principal required to be paid on each such Payment Date
shall equal the sum of the products of (for each Tranche A Advance) (i) the
initial amount of each Tranche A Advance (prior to any repayments) times (ii)
the quotient for the respective Tranche A Advance of (A) one (i) divided by (B)
the number of Payment Dates in the period commencing with (and including) the
first Payment Date occurring a least one year after the date on which such
Tranche A Advance was made and ending on (and including) the Maturity Date;
provided that the last such payment shall be in an amount sufficient to repay
in full the principal amount of such Advances.

         (b)  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent the principal of
the Tranche B Advance made by the Tranche B Lender in eight (8) consecutive
semi-annual installments on the Payment Dates (provided that the last such
payment shall be in an amount sufficient to repay in full the remaining
principal amount of such Advance), with the amount of the installment paid on
each Payment Date to be equal to the respective percentages of the principal of
the Tranche B Advance outstanding immediately after the Initial Funding Date.

Section 2.5 Prepayments.

         (a)  Mandatory Prepayments.

		
	 	         (i) Not later than the date 90 days after the end of each fiscal
year of the Company, the Borrowers shall prepay Advances in an aggregate
amount equal to 50% of the Company’s Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal
year (determined without regard to the Excess Cash Flows of the Operating
Affiliates), if positive.
	 
	 	         (ii) To the extent that the aggregate amount of the Net Cash
Proceeds of all equity issuances and debt incurrences (including pursuant
to Permitted Sale-Leaseback Transactions and other incurrences of
Permitted Indebtedness but excluding Indebtedness incurred as the Tranche
B Advance, as a Tranche A Advance, as principal owing under the EFA or as
a Financing Method Obligation) (or a similar type of obligation incurred
by McCaw Brazil, Nextel Brazil or a Subsidiary thereof) since the Closing
Date (other than pursuant to the Reorganization Plan) by the Borrowers,
the Company, a Restricted Affiliate, McCaw Brazil or a Subsidiary of
McCaw Brazil (or a combination thereof), are in excess of $250,000,000,
the Borrowers shall prepay Advances in an amount equal to 50% of such
excess; provided that, to the extent there is a remaining principal
balance outstanding under the EFA, the Borrowers may apply a
proportionate amount (determined on the basis of the respective principal
amounts outstanding under the EFA and hereunder) of such 50% of such
excess to a prepayment of the obligations of McCaw Brazil and its
Subsidiaries under the EFA.
	 
	 	         (iii) Within 12 months of an Asset Sale, the Net Cash Proceeds from
such sale shall be applied pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Intercreditor
Agreement under the heading “With Respect to Proceeds of MEFA Collateral”
unless, at the Company’s election, such Net Cash Proceeds are invested in
assets related to the business of the Company and its Restricted
Affiliates in the manner permitted under Section 4.04 of the Senior Notes
Indenture.
	 
	 	         (iv) Promptly upon receipt by the Borrowers, the Company or any
other Credit Party of any optional or mandatory prepayment or scheduled
interest or principal payment in respect of any intercompany indebtedness
owing by an Operating Affiliate or a Supplemental Credit Party to such
Person, the Borrowers shall prepay the Advances in an amount equal to
100% of such payment or prepayment.
	 
	 	         (v) The Company or the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent at the time of each prepayment required under this subsection
2.5(a), (i) a certificate signed by the chief financial officer of the
Company or the Borrowers setting forth in
reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment
and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three Business Days’ prior
written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall
specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of the Advances (or
portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this

-37-

 

		
	 
	 	subsection 2.5(a) shall be subject to subsection 2.5(c), but shall
otherwise be without premium or penalty.
	 
	 	         (vi) To the extent possible, amounts to be applied pursuant to this
subsection 2.5(a) to the prepayment of Advances shall be applied, as
applicable, first to prepay outstanding Prime Advances. Any amounts
remaining after each such application shall, at the option of the Company
or the Borrowers be applied to prepay LIBOR Advances immediately and/or
shall be deposited in the Prepayment Account (as defined below). The
Administrative Agent shall apply any cash deposited in the Prepayment
Account to prepay LIBOR Advances, in each case on the last day of their
respective Interest Periods (or, at the direction of the Company or the
Borrowers, on any earlier date) until all outstanding LIBOR Advances have
been prepaid or until the allocable cash on deposit with respect to such
Advances has been exhausted. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
“Prepayment Account” shall mean an account established by the Borrowers
with the Administrative Agent (or if requested by the Administrative
Agent, with a bank designated by the Administrative Agent) and over which
the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control,
including the exclusive right of withdrawal for application in accordance
with this subsection 2.5(a). The Administrative Agent will, at the
request of the Company or the Borrowers, invest amounts on deposit in the
Prepayment Account in Permitted Investments that mature prior to the last
day of the applicable Interest Periods of the LIBOR Borrowings to be
prepaid; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not
be required to make any investment that in its sole judgment, would
require or cause the Administrative Agent to be in, or would result in
any, violation of any law, statute, rule or regulation and (ii) the
Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to invest amounts on
deposit in the Prepayment Account if a Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing. The Borrowers shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent for any losses relating to the investments so that
the amount available to prepay LIBOR Borrowings on the last day of the
applicable Interest Period is not less than the amount originally
deposited in the Prepayment Account (which original deposit shall be in
an amount sufficient to pay the relevant LIBOR Advance and interest
through the applicable Interest Period). Other than any interest earned
on such investments (which shall be for the account of the Borrowers, to
the extent not necessary for the prepayment of LIBOR Advances in
accordance with this subsection 2.5(a)), the Prepayment Account shall not
bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall be
deposited in the Prepayment Account and reinvested and disbursed as
specified above. If the maturity of the Advances have been accelerated
pursuant to Section 11, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole
discretion, apply all amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account to
satisfy any of the Obligations. The Borrowers hereby grant to the
Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, a
security interest in its Prepayment Account to secure the Obligations.

		
	 	         (vii) To the extent provided for in clause (iii) under the heading “With
Respect to Proceeds of EFA Collateral” in Section 4.2 of the Intercreditor
Agreement.

-38-

 

         (b) 
Optional Prepayment; Voluntary Reduction of Tranche A
Commitment.

                  (i) The Borrowers may prepay Advances, in whole or in part, in integral
multiples of $500,000 upon not less than three Business Days prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent of the principal amount to be prepaid and
the date of such prepayment. On the date specified for prepayment, the
Borrowers shall pay such principal amount plus accrued interest on such
principal amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, unless the conditions set forth in subsection 2.5(c) hereof shall be
simultaneously satisfied, LIBOR Advances may be only repaid on the last day of
the Interest Period for such LIBOR Advance.

                  (ii) The Borrowers shall have the right, at any time and from time to
time, without premium or penalty, to permanently reduce the Tranche A Maximum
Commitment hereunder; provided, that any such reduction in the Tranche A
Maximum Commitment shall reduce the respective Tranche A Commitment of each
Tranche A Lender pro rata; and, provided further, that no such reduction shall
reduce the Tranche A Maximum Commitment to an amount less than the sum of the
then outstanding Tranche A Advances. The right of the Borrowers to voluntarily
reduce the Tranche A Maximum Commitment shall be exercisable by delivery of
written notice (including by facsimile) or telephonic notice (thereafter
promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon,
Chicago time, at least three Business Days prior to the proposed permanent
reduction in the Tranche A Maximum Commitment, which notice shall specify the
amount by which the Company proposes to permanently reduce the Tranche A
Maximum Commitment and the proposed date of such reduction.

         (c)  Broken Funding Indemnification.

                  The Borrowers shall pay to the Agents and each Lender, such amount or
amounts as shall compensate the Agents and each Lender for any loss, cost or
expense incurred by an Agent or a Lender (as reasonably determined and
documented by affected Agent or Lender) as a result of:

		
	 	         (i) prepayment or repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than
the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Advance; or
	 
	 	         (ii) any failure by the Borrowers to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the
Drawdown Date specified in the relevant Request for Financing under
Section 2.2 hereof, such compensation to include, without limitation, an
amount equal to: (x) any actual loss or expense suffered by either Agent
or any Lender during the period from such failure to borrow to the last
day of such Interest Period if the rate of interest obtainable by such
Lender or Agent upon the redeployment of an amount of funds equal to the
amount not borrowed is less than the rate of interest applicable to such
LIBOR Advance for such Interest Period (excluding any margin) or (y) any
loss or expense suffered by the any Agent or any Lender in liquidating
deposits in respect of LIBOR Advances prior to maturity.

-39-

 

                  The Borrowers shall pay any amount due hereunder no later than seven (7)
days after receipt of an invoice therefor from the affected Agent or Lender.

         (d)  Effect of Prepayment.

                  All Advances prepaid (other than pursuant to Section 2.2(e)), whether by
mandatory or optional prepayment, may not be reborrowed. All prepayments shall
be applied (i) first, to the remaining principal installments of the Tranche B
Advance (in the inverse order of maturity) due under Section 2.4(b) and (ii)
second, to the remaining principal installments of the Tranche A Advances in
the inverse order of maturity; provided, in the case of clause (ii), if the
Tranche A Commitment Termination Date has not occurred, prepayments shall be
applied to the principal balance of then outstanding Tranche A Advances.

Section 2.6 Interest; Fees.

         (a)  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable
benefit of the Lenders interest on the outstanding principal amount of each
Advance made by the Lenders, for the period commencing on the date of such
Advance (excluding the Closing Date) until such Advance is paid in full, at the
following rate per annum:

		
	 	         (i) if such Advance is a Prime Advance, a rate per annum equal to
the Prime Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable
Margin; and
	 
	 	         (ii) if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance, for each Interest Period
relating thereto, the LIBOR Rate for such Advance plus the Applicable
Margin.

                  Accrued interest on each Advance shall be paid in arrears on the Interest
Payment Dates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest that is payable at the
Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand of the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders.

         (b)  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to
the determination of an interest rate for any LIBOR Advance for any Interest
Period therefor, any Lender reasonably determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error):

		
	 	         (i) by reason of any event affecting the money markets in the United
States of America or the London interbank market, quotations of interest
rates for the relevant deposits are not being provided in the relevant
amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining the
rate of interest for such LIBOR Advances under this Agreement; or
	 
	 	         (ii) the rates of interest referred to in the definition of “LIBOR
Base Rate” in Section 1.1 hereof upon the basis of which the rate of
interest on any LIBOR Advance for such period is determined, do not accurately reflect the cost to
such Lender of making or 

-40-

 

		
	 	maintaining such LIBOR Advance for such period,
then, in addition to the Lender’s rights under Sections 2.11 and 3.2,

such Lender shall give the Borrowers and the Administrative prompt notice
thereof (and shall thereafter give the Borrowers prompt notice of the
cessation, if any, of such condition), and so long as such condition remains in
effect, such Lender shall be under no obligation to make LIBOR Advances or to
convert Prime Advances into LIBOR Advances pursuant to subsection 2.2(a) or
Section 2.8 hereof and the Borrowers shall, on the last day(s) of the then
current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding LIBOR Advances either prepay
such LIBOR Advances in accordance with subsection 2.5(b) hereof or convert such
LIBOR Advances into Prime Advances.

         (c)  Without prejudice to the provisions of Section 11.2 hereof, in the
event of default by the Borrowers in payment of any principal amount of the
Advances or interest thereon when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), the Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders interest on
such past due and unpaid principal amount and (to the extent permitted by
applicable law) on such defaulted interest from the due date until the date of
payment in full (both before as well as after judgment), at the Post-Default
Rate. Each determination of any loss or expense by a Lender or an Agent under
this subsection 2.6(c) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

         (d)  Interest on all Prime Advances shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 365/366 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last) occurring in the period for which payable and interest on
all LIBOR Advances shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and
actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last) occurring
in the period for which payable.

         (e)  The Borrowers agree to pay in arrears to the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Lenders on each Semi Annual Date commencing with December 31,
2002 through and including the Tranche A Commitment Termination Date, and, if
earlier, on the date the Obligations are paid in full, a commitment fee equal
to 0.50% per annum of the average daily unused amount of the Tranche A
Commitment during the preceding semi annual period (or shorter period in the
case of the period from the Closing Date to December 31, 2002). The commitment
fees required hereunder shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

Section 2.7 Payments.

         (a)  Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments whatsoever by the
Borrowers to the Administrative Agent hereunder or in respect of any Financing
Note shall be made in Dollars in same-day funds to the order of the Motorola
Credit Corporation at Harris Bank, P.O. Box 71132, Chicago, IL 60694-1132, ABA:
071-000-288, Account: 350-955-1, Swift: HATRUS44, for the account of Motorola
Credit Corporation, as the Administrative Agent (or
such other place as the Administrative Agent shall have designated in
writing to the Borrowers at

-41-

 

least five Business Days prior to the scheduled
payment date), not later than 2:00 p.m. Chicago time, on the day on which such
payment shall become due. Any amounts received after such time on any date
shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for
purposes of calculating interest thereon.

         (b)  If any payment hereunder or in respect of any Financing Note would
otherwise be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be
made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and including the
additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next
succeeding Business Day.

Section 2.8 Conversion and
Continuation.

         The Borrowers shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable
notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 12:00 p.m., Chicago time,
one Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any LIBOR Advance into a Prime
Advance, (b) not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, three Business Days prior
to conversion or continuation, to convert any Prime Advance into a LIBOR
Advance or to continue any LIBOR Advance as a LIBOR Advance for an additional
Interest Period, and (c) not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, three
Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect
to any LIBOR Advance to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each
case to the following:

		
	 	         (i) each conversion shall be effected by each of the Lenders by
recording for the account of such Lender the continued Advance of such
Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Advance being
converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any
Advance (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the
Borrowers at the time of conversion;
	 
	 	         (ii) if any LIBOR Advance is converted at a time other than the end
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon
demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to subsection 2.5(c);
	 
	 	         (iii) any portion of an Advance maturing or required to be repaid in
less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a LIBOR
Advance with an Interest Period ending after the date such repayment is
required;
	 
	 	         (iv) any portion of a LIBOR Advance that cannot be converted into or
continued as a LIBOR Advance by reason of the immediately preceding
clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period
in effect for such Advance into a Prime Advance;
	 
	 	         (v) no Interest Period may be selected for any LIBOR Advance that
would end later than the Maturity Date; and
	 
	 	         (vi) upon notice to the Borrowers from the Administrative Agent,
after the 

-42-

 

		
	 	occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of
Default, (A) no outstanding Advance may be converted into, or continued
as, a LIBOR Advance, and (B) unless repaid, each LIBOR Advance shall be
converted to a Prime Advance at the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto.

         Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be irrevocable and shall
refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Advance
that the Borrowers request be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Advance
is to be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Advance or a Prime Advance, (iii)
if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall
be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Advance is to be converted to or continued
as a LIBOR Advance, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest
Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or
continuation as a LIBOR Advance, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected
an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If the Borrowers shall not have
given notice in accordance with this Section 2.8 to continue any Advance into a
subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in
accordance with this Section 2.8 to convert such Advance), such Advance shall,
at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to
the terms hereof), automatically be continued into a new Interest Period as a
Prime Advance.

Section 2.9 Use of Proceeds.

         The Borrowers agree that the proceeds of the Advances shall be used (i) in
the case of the Tranche B Advance, solely to repay the outstanding principal
amount under the MEFA on the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of Tranche A
Advances, solely for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Section 2.10 Change in Law.

         If any change in any applicable Governmental Rule has made (or has made it
apparent that it is) unlawful for any Credit Party to perform any of its
obligations under any of the Credit Documents and such change could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect then (i) the Lenders shall be
discharged from all obligations to make, renew or maintain the Advances, and
(ii) the Borrowers (or the Company on behalf of the Borrowers) shall on demand
pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, without premium
or penalty except as provided in subsection 2.5(c), the outstanding principal
amount of the Advances together with accrued interest thereon and all other
moneys due to the Lenders hereunder; provided, that for so long as the
Borrowers are diligently pursuing the contest of the same by appropriate
proceedings and such contest could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect and adequate reserves have been established in
accordance with GAAP, then the Lenders shall not be so discharged and the
Borrowers shall not be required to so pay upon demand.

Section 2.11 Illegality.

         (a)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the
date hereof,
any change in any Governmental Rule shall make it unlawful for any Lender
to make or maintain

-43-

 

any LIBOR Advance or to give effect to its obligations as
contemplated hereby with respect to any LIBOR Advance, then, by written notice
to the Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent:

		
	 	         (i) such Lender may declare that LIBOR Advances will not thereafter
(for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder
(or be continued for additional Interest Periods and Prime Advances will
not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into LIBOR Advances),
whereupon any request for a LIBOR Borrowing (or to convert a Prime Rate
Borrowing to a LIBOR Borrowing or to continue a LIBOR Borrowing for an
additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a
request for a Prime Advance (or a request to continue a Prime Advance as
such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a LIBOR Advance into
a Prime Advance), unless such declaration shall be subsequently
withdrawn; and

		
	 	         (ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding LIBOR Advances
made by it be converted to Prime Advances in which event all such LIBOR
Advances shall be automatically converted to Prime Advances as of the
effective date of such notice as provided in subsection 2.11(b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all
payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to
repay the LIBOR Advances that would have been made by such Lender or the
converted LIBOR Advances of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the
Prime Advances made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion
of, such LIBOR Advances.

         (b)  For purposes of this Section 2.11, a notice to the Borrowers by any
Lender shall be effective as to each LIBOR Advance made by such Lender, if
lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period(s) currently applicable to LIBOR
Advances of such Lender; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on
the date of receipt by the Borrowers.

Section 2.12 Pro Rata Treatment.

         Except as required under Sections 2.7 and 2.11, each Borrowing, each
payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest
on the Advances, each payment of the fees required under Section 2.6, each
reduction of the Tranche A Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to
or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated
pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable
Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in
accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding
Advances). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any
Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher
or lower whole Dollar amount.

Section 2.13 Sharing of Setoffs.

         Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of
banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrowers, the Company or any
other Credit Party, or pursuant to a

-44-

 

secured claim under Section 506 of Title
11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in
lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other
means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Advance or
Advances as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Advances
shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Advances
of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from
such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender
the purchase price for, a participation in the Advances of such other Lender,
so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances and participation
in Advances held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances then outstanding as the
principal amount of its Advances prior to such exercise of banker’s lien,
setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all
Advances outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or
counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that if any such purchase or
purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.13 and the
payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or
purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and
the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The
Borrowers and the Company expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and
agree that any Lender holding a participation in an Advance deemed to have been
so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or

directly to the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 3 FUNDING AND YIELD PROTECTION

Section 3.1 Taxes, Duties,
Fees and Charges.

         (a)  Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Borrowers, the Company or
any Credit Party hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall be made,
in accordance with Section 2.7, free and clear of and without deduction for any
and all current or future Taxes. If the Borrowers, the Company or any Credit
Party shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum
payable hereunder or under any other Credit Document to any Agent or any Lender
(or any Transferee), (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an
“Additional Amount”) necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
3.1) such Agent or such Lender (or Transferee), as the case may be, shall
receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers, the Company or such Credit Party
shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers, the Company or such Credit
Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law.

         (b)  In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp,
documentary, excise, transfer, sales, property or similar taxes, charges or
levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording
taxes and similar fees) that arise from any payment made hereunder or
under any other Credit Document or from the execution, delivery, enforcement or
registration of, or otherwise with

-45-

 

respect to, this Agreement or any other
Credit Document imposed by any Governmental Authority in the United States, the
Relevant Countries or the jurisdiction of any Payment Location (“Other Taxes”).

         (c)  The Borrowers will indemnify each of the Agents and each Lender (or
Transferee) for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes paid by such Agent or
such Lender (or Transferee), as the case may be, and any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and
expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes
or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
prepared by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or a Lender (or
Transferee), or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, absent manifest error,
shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such indemnification
shall be made within 30 days after the date the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or any Lender (or Transferee), as the case may be, makes
written demand therefor.

         (d)  As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other
Taxes by the Borrowers, the Company or any other Credit Party to the relevant
Governmental Authority, the Borrowers, the Company or such other Credit Party
will deliver to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section
13.7, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing payment thereof.

         (e)  Each Lender (or Transferee) that is organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of
Columbia (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of, withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the
Borrowers are located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party,
with respect to payments by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such
properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by the Borrowers as will permit such payments to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender
shall deliver such documentation promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity
of any documentation previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection 3.1(e), a Non-U.S.
Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this
subsection 3.1(e) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

         (f)  The Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender
or to pay any Additional Amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of United
States Federal withholding tax pursuant to subsection 3.1(a) or (c) above to
the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United
States Federal withholding tax existed and would apply to payments made to such
Non-U.S. Lender on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to
this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation
holder, on the date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder)
or, with respect to payments to a new

-46-

 

 Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S.
Lender designated such new Lending Office with respect to an Advance; provided,
however, that this subsection 3.1(f) shall not apply (x) to any Transferee or
new Lending Office that becomes a Transferee or new Lending Office as a result
of an assignment, participation, transfer or designation made at the request of
the Company and (y) to the extent the indemnity payment or Additional Amounts
any Transferee, or any Lender (or Transferee), acting through a new Lending
Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this subsection 3.1(f))
do not exceed the indemnity payment or Additional Amounts that the person
making the assignment, participation or transfer to such Transferee, or Lender
(or Transferee) making the designation of such new Lending Office, would have
been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation,
transfer or designation or (ii) the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts
would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to comply with
the provisions of subsection 3.1(e) above.

         (g)  Nothing contained in this Section 3.1 shall require any Lender (or any
Transferee) or the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to make
available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems to be
confidential or proprietary).

Section 3.2 Change in Circumstances.

         (a)  In the event that there shall hereafter occur any change in any
Governmental Rule which increases or will increase (i) the cost to any Agent or
any Lender of maintaining any reserves or special deposits against the LIBOR
Advances or (ii) any other cost of any Agent or any Lender of complying with
any law, regulation or condition with respect to the LIBOR Advances, and the
result of any of the foregoing is or will be to increase the cost to any Agent
or any Lender (each such affected party being referred to as an “Affected
Party”) of making or maintaining such Affected Party’s LIBOR Advances or to
reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise)
receivable by the Affected Party hereunder, then upon receipt of a request from
the Affected Party, the Borrowers shall pay or reimburse to the Affected Party,
such amount as will compensate the Affected Party for such additional cost or
reduction of payment; provided that the Borrowers shall only be liable for such
costs applicable to LIBOR Advances then outstanding. Amounts payable hereunder
shall be due three (3) days after invoice therefor.

         (b)  The protection of subsection 3.2(a) hereof shall apply to voluntary
compliance by the Agents and the Lenders with restraints, guidelines or
policies not having the force of law and shall apply if any Agent or any Lender
shall comply with any law, regulation or condition irrespective of any possible
contention of invalidity or non-applicability thereof.

         (c)  The Affected Party will promptly (but in no event later than
forty-five (45) days after actual knowledge of the occurrence of the event
described in subsection 3.2(a) hereof) inform the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent by facsimile of its intention to claim indemnification
under this Section 3.2. The facsimile statement of the Affected Party as to
the amount sufficient to indemnify the Affected Party against any increased
cost, reduction or payment incurred, suffered or made by the Affected Party
supported by the computations made

-47-

 

 by the Affected Party in arriving at such
figure, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the amount
thereof and binding on Borrowers.

         A claim made under this Section 3.2 may be made before or after the end of
the Interest Period to which such claim relates and before or after any
repayment of all or part of the Advance to which such Interest Period relates.
An increased cost shall be an increased cost for the purpose of subsection
3.2(a) hereof even if the payment or quantification of such increased cost is
not or cannot be made until after the expiry of any Interest Period to which it
relates.

         (d)  In the event of any such change or request as is contemplated by
subsection 3.2(a) hereof, the Affected Party will use reasonable efforts to
mitigate the effect or likely effect of such change or request by transferring
its LIBOR Advances to another jurisdiction or otherwise; provided, however,
that the Affected Party shall be under no obligation to transfer the LIBOR
Advances to another jurisdiction or to take any other action to mitigate the
effect or likely effect of such change or request if, in the reasonable opinion
of the Affected Party, such transfer or other action could reasonably be
expected to have an adverse effect upon the Affected Party, whether as a result
of taxes, credit policies, political considerations or otherwise; provided,
further, that the Borrowers shall reimburse the Affected Party on demand for
all expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees) incurred by the
Affected Party in effecting such transfer and the Affected Party shall have no
obligation to effect any such transfer unless the Affected Party is satisfied
that it will not suffer any adverse consequences as a result of such transfer
for which it has not been indemnified by the Borrowers. If any Affected Party
is entitled to reimbursement under this subsection 3.2(d) for any cost, the
Affected Party shall deliver to the Borrowers a statement of the nature and
amount of such cost which statement shall constitute prima facie evidence as to
the amount due to the Affected Party under this subsection 3.2(d).

         (e)  If the Borrowers elect (which election shall be irrevocable) by giving
at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice to the Affected Party, the
Borrowers may, without penalty or premium, prepay to any Affected Party any of
such Affected Party’s Advances outstanding Advances on any Interest Payment
Date applicable to such Advances with respect to which the Borrowers have
received a claim under this Section 3.2 together with accrued interest thereon
and all other sums due to the Affected Party (including, without limitation,
amounts accrued or due under this Section 3.2).

         (f)  If any Lender requests compensation under this section 3.2, or if the
Borrowers are required to pay any Additional Amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section
3.2, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Advances hereunder,
then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon Notice to such
Lender and the Agents, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 13.5), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may
be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);provided, that (i) the
Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent if such
assignee is not a Lender at the time of assignment, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the

-48-

 

 outstanding principal of its Advances,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts),
and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under this Section 3.2 or payments required to be made under
Section 3.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or
delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment
or delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 4 EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION; FEES

All Governmental Approvals identified on
Part I of each of Sections A and B of Schedule 7.3(a) hereto have been duly
obtained on or before the Closing Date and are final, in full force and effect

Sections A and B of Schedule 7.3(a) are expected to be obtained in due course.
Except to the extent set forth on Schedule 7.3(a), there is no proceeding
pending or (to the Credit Parties’ knowledge after due inquiry) threatened,
that could reasonably be expected to rescind, terminate, modify or suspend any
Governmental Approval listed in Part II of Sections A and B of Schedule 7.3(a)
hereto, and no such disclosed matter could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. None of the Credit Parties, respectively, have any

forth therein. No default has occurred which is continuing under or in respect
of any of the provisions of any License except for defaults resulting from the

authorization, approval, application, filing, registration, consent or other
action of any local, state or federal authority is required to enable the
Borrowers, the Company or any Operating Affiliate to operate under its
respective License (except such Licenses which are ministerial in nature or
which the failure to obtain such License could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Borrowers, the Company and

applicable to Nextel Brazil or Nextel Argentina) in the Major Market
Areas) other than those filings made and referred to on Schedule 7.3(b) hereto.

Section 7.4    Execution, Enforceability, Violation of Law and Agreements.

         Each of the Operative Documents to which a Credit Party is a party has
been duly executed and delivered by such Credit Party and constitutes, the
legal, valid and binding contract, agreement and obligation of such Credit

the Operative Documents which are not Credit Documents, to the extent the
failure to have such due execution and delivery or such legality, validity and
binding nature could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect and except as (x) the enforceability of the Operative Documents may be

creditors’ rights generally, (y) the availability of equitable remedies, and
(z) rights to indemnification and contribution as they may be limited by public

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) will not conflict with or
result in the breach of any provision of, or result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien or other preferential arrangement under, any other
indenture, agreement, mortgage, contract or other undertaking, or instrument to
which such Credit Party is a party or by which it or any of its properties or
assets is bound other than the Credit Documents, except, solely with respect to
the Operative Documents which are not Credit Documents, to the extent such
conflict or breach or creation or imposition could not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect; (v) will not constitute a default or an
event that, with the giving of notice or the passing of time, or both, would
constitute a default under any such agreement or instrument, except, solely
with respect to the Operative Documents which are not Credit Documents, to
the extent such default could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect; and (vi)
except for

respect thereto) do not require any governmental consent, registration or
approval, except, solely with respect to the Operative Documents which are not

Restricted Affiliates to, purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire,

provided,
that, the redemptions, repurchases and payments described in the foregoing
clauses (i) through (vi) shall not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate;
provided, further, that the payments in respect of clause (i) shall be excluded
from the $5,000,000 limitation in the preceding proviso to the extent of the
sum of (A) the net cash proceeds received by the Company in respect of the
exercise of the options pursuant to which such shares were issued and (B) the
net cash proceeds of Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Stock) issued
by the Company and the net cash proceeds of any capital contributed to the

or equity interests of such Person unless either (i) (a) such options and such
shares or equity interests, upon issuance, become pledged or charged to the
Collateral Agent and subject to the other agreements referred to herein to
which the existing shares or equity interests of such Person are subject prior
to such issuance and (b) the acquiror of such options, security, shares or
equity interests shall be deemed by the Required Lenders to be creditworthy and

Default of the type referred to in subsections 11.1 (t), (u) and (v) hereof or
(ii) the Company applies the net proceeds from such issuance to the prepayment
of the Obligations.

the cancellation, termination or assignment of which could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or grant consents with respect to
any material obligation thereunder, (iii) exercise any options or remedies or
make any elections under any such System Document which exercise or election
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) fail to
exercise promptly and diligently each and every material right which it may

Affiliates to, amend, supplement, or otherwise modify or waive compliance with
any of the provisions of their respective articles of incorporation or by-laws

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or could not otherwise materially
and adversely affect the Company’s or any such other Credit Party’s ability to
perform its obligations under the Credit Documents.

         (c)  If the Company amends, waives, modifies or supplements any
Intercompany Loan Agreement in any manner adverse to the Lenders, such

         (w)  The occurrence of any Change of Control.

         (x)  The failure of the Company to honor its Obligations to Motorola Credit

of “Event of Default” contained in the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 11.2 Remedies.

         (a)  Except as described in the immediately succeeding sentence, if an
Event of Default described in subsections 11.1(1), (m), (n), (o) and (p) hereof
with respect to the Borrowers, the Company or any other Credit Party shall have
occurred, then (i) the Commitments shall automatically be terminated and the

principal amount of the Advances hereunder shall automatically and immediately
become due and payable together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon
and all other amounts payable hereunder to be forthwith due and payable without
presentment, demand, test or further notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers. If any other Event of Default shall
have occurred, then at any time thereafter, if any such event shall then be
continuing, the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent may, to the extent
permitted under the Intercreditor Agreement, or otherwise the Collateral Agent
pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, by written notice to the
Borrowers, (i) declare the Commitments to be terminated whereupon the
obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain the Advances hereunder shall
forthwith terminate, and (ii) declare the entire unpaid principal amount of the
Advances, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable
hereunder to be forthwith due and payable without presentment, demand, protest
or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
Borrowers. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender Parties
shall have, in addition to any other rights and remedies contained in this
Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Credit Documents, all of
the rights and remedies of a secured party under the laws of the United States
and the laws of the Relevant Countries or other applicable laws, all of which
rights and remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive, to the extent
permitted by law.

         (b)  In addition to such remedies as are provided for in this Agreement,
the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Credit Documents, the Lender Parties’
remedies upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
shall, if the Borrowers fail to repay Advances pursuant to paragraph (a) above,
include (i) a right to apply or require the Borrowers to apply for any
necessary orders or licenses in connection with the operation or abandonment of
any relevant System, the related Telecommunications Business or any part
thereof; and (ii) to the extent permitted by law, a right to have a receiver
appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction

-96-

 

in order to manage, protect and
preserve any relevant System, the related Telecommunications Business and all
other equipment, property and other collateral and to continue the operation of
the business of the Borrowers and the Company, and to collect the revenues and
profits thereof and apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other
charges of such receivership until
the sale or other final disposition of the Collateral, including, without
limitation, the Systems, the Telecommunications Businesses and such equipment,
property and assets.

         (c)  The Borrowers and the Company agree, in case an Event of Default shall
be existing and upon the Lender Party’s request, to pay all of such Lender
Party’s costs of collection of all amounts due, and enforcement of all rights
hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and legal
expenses.

         (d)  The Collateral Agent may pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, upon the occurrence and during, the continuance of an Event of
Default, without demand and without advertisement or notice, all of which the
Credit Parties waive at any time or times, sell and deliver, any or all
Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit,
or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Collateral Agent deems
advisable, in its sole discretion and/or collect or enforce the collection of,
the Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement; provided,
however that method, manner, time, place and terms of any sale must be
commercially reasonable and the Collateral Agent shall make a reasonable
attempt to receive fair market value for any Collateral subject to such sale.
In addition to all other sums due to the Collateral Agent, the Company shall
pay the Collateral Agent all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the
Collateral Agent including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and court
costs, to obtain, liquidate and/or enforce payment of Collateral obligations or
in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding against the
Collateral Agent in connection with any matter arising out of or connected with
the Credit Documents or the Collateral.

         (e)  In connection with the enforcement by the Lender Parties of any
remedies available to them as a result of any Event of Default, the Credit
Parties shall join and cooperate fully with the Collateral Agent to the extent
allowed under the Intercreditor Agreement and with any receiver referred to
above and with the successful bidder or bidders at any foreclosure sale when
any of these entities files an application (including, without limitation, the
furnishing of any additional information that may be required in connection
with such application), with any necessary Governmental Authorities, requesting
their prior approval of (i) the operation or abandonment of all or any portion
of the Systems (or any one of them) or the Telecommunications Businesses and
(ii) the assignment or transfer to such entity of all licenses, authorizations
and permits issued to the Company or any other Credit Party by such
Governmental Authorities with respect to the Systems, the Telecommunications
Businesses and the operation thereof.

         (f)  In connection with the foregoing remedies, the Credit Parties shall
take such further actions and execute all such instruments as the Collateral
Agent or the Required Lenders deem necessary. The Company agrees, for itself
and on behalf of the other Credit Parties, that

-97-

 

the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders may enforce any obligations of the Credit Parties as set forth
in this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Credit Documents
by an action for specific performance.

         (g)  The Lender Parties may (but shall not be obligated to) make advances
to preserve, protect or obtain any of the Collateral (including all of the fees
and expenses of the Collateral Agent) and all such advances shall become part
of the obligations owing to the Lender Parties hereunder and shall be repayable
to the Lender Parties with interest thereon from the date of such advance until
paid at the rate per annum of 2% above the Post-Default Rate.

         (h)  All moneys received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to any right
given or action taken under Section 11 of this Agreement shall be applied in
accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.

         (i)  In addition to their rights with respect to the Collateral hereunder,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may seek
payment of the outstanding obligations from the Restricted Affiliates. The
Collateral Agent shall not, however, proceed to liquidate the Collateral
hereunder and under the Guarantees in excess of the amount which the Required
Lenders reasonably determines will be necessary to satisfy the outstanding
obligations which have become due and payable, provided, that the Collateral
Agent may continue so to liquidate until all outstanding obligations which have
become due and payable have been satisfied in full.

         (j)  The Agents, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, may
exercise any and all of their remedies under the Security Documents and the
Guarantees contemporaneously or separately from the exercise of any other
remedies hereunder or with respect to any Collateral.

Section 11.3 Cumulative Rights.

         No failure or delay on the part of any Lender Party or the Collateral
Agent in exercising any right, power or remedy accruing to it upon any breach
or default of the Borrowers under any of the Credit Documents shall impair any
such right, power or remedy nor shall it be construed as a waiver of any such
breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall a waiver of any single breach
or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or
thereafter occurring, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
right or power preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right or power hereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
all remedies, either under the Credit Documents or by law otherwise afforded
the Lender Parties shall be cumulative and not alternative.

Section 11.4 Waiver of Demand; Setoff.

         DEMAND, PRESENTMENT, PROTEST AND NOTICE OF DEMAND, PRESENTMENT, PROTEST
AND NONPAYMENT ARE HEREBY WAIVED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW BY THE CREDIT

ALL VALUATION, APPRAISAL AND EXEMPTION LAWS TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Section 11.5 Waiver of Notice.

         IN THE EVENT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, THE CREDIT PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE TO
THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ALL RIGHTS TO NOTICE AND HEARING OF ANY KIND PRIOR
TO THE EXERCISE BY THE CREDITOR OF ITS RIGHTS TO REPOSSESS ANY COLLATERAL
WITHOUT JUDICIAL PROCESS OR TO REPLEVY, ATTACH OR LEVY UPON ANY COLLATERAL
WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE OR HEARING. EACH OF THE CREDIT PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
IT HAS BEEN ADVISED BY COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE WITH RESPECT TO THIS TRANSACTION
AND THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 11.6 Waiver of Jury Trial.

         EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY
LITIGATION ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS.

SECTION 12

The Administrative Agent

         In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
Motorola Credit Corporation is hereby appointed to act as Administrative Agent
(for purposes of this Section 12, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”). Each of the Lenders and
each assignee of any such Lender, hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agents to
take such actions on behalf of such Lender or assignee and to exercise such
powers as are specifically delegated to the Agents by the terms and provisions
hereof and of the other Credit Documents, together with such actions and powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent is hereby
expressly authorized by the Lenders, without hereby limiting any implied
authority, (a) to receive on behalf of the Lenders all payment of principal of
and interest on the Advances and all other amounts due to the Lenders
hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each Lender its proper share of each
payment so received; (b) to the extent permitted by the Intercreditor
Agreement, to give notice on behalf of each of the Lenders to the Borrowers of
any Event of Default specified in this Agreement of which the Administrative
Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its agency hereunder;
and (c) to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial
statements and other materials delivered by the Borrowers, the Company or any
other Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents as
received by the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all
documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of
the parties secured thereby with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents.

-99-

 

         Neither the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by
any of them except for its or his own gross negligence or willful misconduct,
or be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or the
contents of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be required to
ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by
the Borrowers, the Company or any other Credit Party of any of the terms,
conditions, covenants or agreements contained in any Credit Document. The
Agents shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the due execution,
genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement or any
other Credit Documents, instruments or agreements. The Agents shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance
with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders and, except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or
inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders. Each Agent
shall, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any
instrument or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct
and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Neither the
Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents
shall have any responsibility to the Borrowers, the Company or any other Credit
Party on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any
Lender or an Issuing Bank of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender
or an Issuing Bank on account of the failure of or delay in performance or
breach by any other Lender or an Issuing Bank or the Borrowers, the Company or
any other Credit Party of any of their respective obligations hereunder or
under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith. Each
of the Agents may execute any and all duties hereunder by or through agents or
employees and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel
selected by it with respect to all matters arising hereunder and shall not be
liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with
the advice of such counsel.

         The Lenders hereby acknowledge that neither Agent shall be under any duty
to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement unless it shall be requested in writing to do so
by the Required Lenders.

         Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative
Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by
notifying the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor. If no successor
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted
such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives
notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on
behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be
a bank with an office in New York, New York, having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon
acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor
bank, such successor shall 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 hereunder. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder,
the provisions of this Article and Section 9.5 shall continue in effect for its
benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was acting as Administrative Agent.

-100-

 

         With respect to the Advances made by it hereunder, the Administrative
Agent in its individual capacity and not as Administrative Agent shall have the
same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though
it were not an Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally
engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers, the Company or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative
Agent.

         Each Lender agrees (a) to reimburse the Administrative Agent, on demand,
in the amount of its pro rata share (based on the aggregate principal balances
of Advances owing to it hereunder; provided if no principal balance is owing,
then on the basis of its Tranche A Commitment) of any expenses incurred for the
benefit of the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, including counsel fees and
compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of
the Lenders, that shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrowers (or the
Company on behalf of the Borrowers) and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless the
Administrative Agent and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents,
on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all
liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its
capacity as Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any other Credit Document or any action taken or omitted by it or
any of them under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, to the extent
the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrowers (or the Company on
behalf of the Borrowers) or any other Credit Party; provided that no Lender
shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or any such other indemnified
person for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Administrative Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or
agents. Each Lender agrees to reimburse each of the Issuing Banks and their
directors, employees and agents, in each case, to the same extent and subject
to the same limitations as provided above for the Administrative Agent.

         Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time
to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not
taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Credit Document,
any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 13 MISCELLANEOUS

Section 13.1 Waiver of Sovereign Immunity.

         To the extent that the Credit Parties or any of their respective assets
has or hereafter may acquire any right to immunity from suit, setoff, legal
proceedings generally, attachment prior to

-101-

 

judgment, attachment in aid of
execution or other attachment or execution of judgment on the rounds of
sovereignty or otherwise, each of the Credit Parties hereby irrevocably waives
such rights to immunity for itself and its assets in respect of its obligations
arising under or relating to any of the Credit Documents or any related
documentation.

Section 13.2 Venue for Suit.

         The Credit Parties and the Lender Parties each irrevocably hereby
expressly waives all right to object to jurisdiction or execution in any legal
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, the Financing Note or any
other Credit Document which it may now or hereafter have by reason of its
domicile or by reason of any subsequent or other domicile and hereby
irrevocably consents that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of
or relating to any of the Credit Documents and any other document or instrument
required to be executed in relation thereto may be instituted in the federal
courts of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York
and the courts of the State of New York, and by execution and delivery of this
Agreement, each of the Credit Parties and the Lender Parties submits to and
accepts and consents with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself
and in respect of its properties and assets, generally and unconditionally, the
jurisdiction of any such court. Each of the Credit Parties hereby waives any
objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such
action, suit or proceeding, and further waives any claim that any such action,
suit or proceeding brought in any of the aforesaid courts has been brought in
any inconvenient forum.

         Each of the Credit Parties hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and
empowers CT Corporation System with offices at 1633 Broadway, New York, New
York, 10019, and successors as the designee, appointee and agent of such Credit
Party to receive, accept and acknowledge, for and on behalf of such Credit
Party and its properties, service of any and all legal process, summons,
notices and documents which may be served in such action, suit or proceeding
relating to the Financing Note or this Agreement or any other Credit Document
in the case of the courts of the United States District Court of the Southern
District of New York or of the courts of the State of Illinois, which service
may be made on any such designee, appointee and agent in accordance with legal
prescribed for such courts. Each of the Credit Parties agrees to take any and
all action necessary to continue such designation in full force and effect and
should such designee, appointee and agent become unavailable for this purpose
for any reason, the relevant Credit Party will forthwith irrevocably designate
a new designee, appointee and agent with offices in New York, New York, which
shall irrevocably agree to act as such, with the powers and for purposes
specified in this Section 13.2. Each of the Credit Parties further irrevocably
consents and agrees to service of any and all legal process, summons, notices
and documents out of any of the aforesaid courts in any such action, suit or
proceeding relating to the Financing Note or this Agreement or any other Credit
Document delivered to such Credit Party in accordance with this Section 13.2 or
to its then designee, appointee or agent for service. If service is made upon
such designee, appointee and agent, a copy of such process, summons, notice or
document shall also be provided to the relevant Credit Party by registered or
certified mail, or overnight express air courier, provided that failure to
provide such copy to the relevant Credit Party shall not impair or affect in
any way the validity of such service or any judgement rendered in such action
or proceedings. Each of the Credit Parties agrees that service upon such
Credit Party or any such designee, appointee and agent as provided for herein
shall constitute

-102-

 

valid and effective personal service upon such Credit Party
with respect to matters contemplated in this Section 13.2 and that the failure
of any such designee, appointee and agent to give any notice of such service to
such Credit Party shall not impair or affect in any way the validity of such
service or any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon.
Nothing herein shall limit or be construed to limit the rights of the Lender
Parties to commence
proceedings against any Credit Party in any other venue where assets of
such Credit Party may be found.

Section 13.3 Governing Law.

         THIS AGREEMENT AND THE FINANCING NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCLUDING ALL
CHOICE-OF-LAW AND CONFLICTS-OF-LAWS RULES).

Section 13.4 Severability of Provisions.

         If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any
documents executed in connections herewith shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or
impaired.

Section 13.5 Binding Effect; Assignment.

         (a)  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
the Borrowers, the Lender Parties and their respective successors and assigns,
provided, that the Borrowers shall not have the right to assign or transfer its
rights or obligations hereunder except with the prior written consent of the
Required Lenders and, absent a continuing Event of Default, the Lenders shall
not have the right, following the Syndication, to assign their respective
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Borrowers (not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.)

         (b)  The Initial Lender may assign its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of the Commitment and the Advances at the
time owing to it) without the consent of the Borrowers (the
“Syndication”).
The Initial Lender may request the Borrowers, the Company and the Operating
Affiliates to assist in the Syndication as contemplated by this Section.

         (c)  In addition to and without limiting the foregoing, each Lender may,
without the consent of the Borrowers, sell participations to one or more banks
or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the
Commitment and the Advances owing to it); provided that, in the case of
participations under this subsection 13.5(c), (i) the Lender’s obligations
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (iii) the Borrowers shall continue to deal solely and directly
with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under

to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement.

         (d)  The Credit Parties agree to cooperate with the Initial Lender in
connection with any syndication. Such cooperation will include, if requested

senior officers of the Borrowers available for a meeting with prospective
assignees, the Initial Lender and its agents, and (ii) providing such other
assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Initial Lender and such agents
(including, without limitation, providing information to and responding to
questions from prospective assignees with respect to the operations, business
plans and other matters relating to the Borrowers’, the Company’s and each
other Credit Party’s business on a timely basis and in any manner reasonably
requested by the Initial Lender).

Section 13.6 Entire Agreement; Amendments.

         (a)  This Agreement, the documents referred to herein and those signed
contemporaneously herewith constitute the entire agreement of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede any prior expressions
of intent or understanding with respect to this transaction.

         (b)  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit
Document or consent to any departure by the Borrowers, the Company or any other
Credit Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by paragraph subsection 13.6(c) below, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose
for which given. No notice or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall
entitle such Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances.

         (c)  Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended
or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered
into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such
agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of
or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest
on any Advance, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or
decrease the rate of interest on any Advance, without the prior written consent
of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) change or extend the Commitments or
decrease or extend the date for payment of the fees of any Lender payable under
Section 2.6 without the prior written consent of such Lender, or (iii) amend or
modify the provisions of Section 2.12 or 13.5, the provisions of this Section,
the definition of the term “Required Lenders”, increase the total Commitments
or release any Guarantor or all or any substantial part of the Collateral,
without the prior written consent of each Lender; provided, further that no
such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, hereunder or under any other
Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent

ANNEX B

PERMITTED SALE-LEASEBACK TRANSACTION

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

	 	 	 
	Conditions of Sale	 	
The asset purchase agreement (“APA”) to be entered into in
connection with a Permitted Sale-Leaseback Transaction will
provide for the sale of certain wireless telecommunications
towers owned by NII Holdings, Inc. and/or any of its
affiliates (hereinafter referred to collectively as “NII”),
related real property interests (including, without
limitation, ground leases), and related assets of the type
set forth on Annex A (each such tower and related real
property and assets are referred to herein as a “Site,” and
all such assets collectively are referred to herein as the
“Tower Assets”). Upon the closing of the APA, NII will
transfer to the purchaser (“Acquirer”) all rights of
ownership to the Tower Assets.
	
	
	
	

	 	 	 
	
	
	
	

	Leaseback Agreement	 	
Concurrently with the closing of the APA, NII and Acquirer
will enter into a lease agreement (the “Master Lease
Agreement”) which will provide for, among other things: (i)
the lease of the Tower Assets transferred by NII to Acquirer
pursuant to the APA; and/or (ii) the lease of new towers to
be built by Acquirer pursuant to the BTS (as defined below).
The term of such lease agreement will vary.
	
	
	
	

	 	 	 
	
	
	
	

	Rent Payments	 	
For existing Towers Assets, NII will pay to Acquirer monthly
rent (the “Rent Payment”). The lease will be a triple net
lease (including, without limitation, a requirement that NII
pay all ground lease costs associated with each Tower Asset
or Build-to-Suit Site).
	
	
	
	

	 	 	 
	
	
	
	

	Rent Payment Obligation
Continuation	 	
For any Tower Asset acquired by Acquirer without all material
Site permits which are not properly disclosed by NII prior to
closing, and following the transfer of such Site the related
Tower Asset must be removed, dismantled or otherwise becomes
unusable because the applicable Site permits were not
obtained prior to closing, Acquirer shall still purchase the
Site and NII shall continue to be responsible for the rent
payments throughout the initial term of the lease provided
for under the Master Lease Agreement (“Rent Payment
Continuation Obligation”); provided, however, that following
the transfer of any such Site to Acquirer, (a) Acquirer shall
continue to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and
maintain all applicable Site permits and, when applicable,
cure such lack of permits and (b) if ATC makes any
improvements or alterations to the Site after closing which
result in a governmental entity requiring the Tower Asset to
be removed, dismantled or otherwise is, rendered unusable,
NII’s Rent Payment Continuation Obligation shall be
discontinued until such Site’s permit is reinstated by
Acquirer.

B-1

 

	 	 	 
	
	
	
	

	Legal, Financial
and Regulatory
Liabilities	 	
Subject to Acquirer’s right to exclude Tower Assets under the
APA, Acquirer will assume the legal, financial and regulatory
risks related to the Tower Assets, provided those risks were
fully disclosed in the due diligence process or in the APA
and are not a result of NII’s negligence or willful acts in
managing or owning the Tower Assets. Prior and after each
relevant closing under the APA, NII will make its reasonable
best efforts to work together with Acquirer in order to
obtain all missing permits and licenses related to the Tower
Assets acquired by Acquirer.
	
	
	
	

	 	 	 
	
	
	
	

	Ground Lease
Assignment and
Sublease Consent	 	
It will be a condition to Acquirer’s obligation to acquire a
Tower Asset located on a leased property that NII obtains any
necessary ground landlord’s consent to the assignment of the
ground lease to Acquirer, provided that if such consent
cannot be obtained, Acquirer and NII will use good faith
efforts to structure the transaction with respect to such
Tower Asset in a manner which does not require such consent
and which affords the parties in all material respects the
rights and benefits contemplated by the proposed transaction.
Such efforts may include the execution of: (i) a sublease:
agreement, (ii) an administration agreement, or (iii) any
other similar agreement or understanding under which Acquirer
may have all lessees’ benefits under the ground lease.
Acquirer will develop and deliver a process to effectively
manage this activity.
	
	
	
	

	 	 	 
	
	
	
	

	Acquirer’s Security	 	
Subject to obligations, covenants or commitments undertaken
by NII under existing agreements, and subject to specific
terms and conditions to be provided by NII, Acquirer may
secure all receivables due to it by NII, as well as
Acquirer’s interest in the Tower Assets, as collateral for
institutional debt.
	
	
	
	

	 	 	 
	
	
	
	

	Damages to NII’s
Equipment	 	
Acquirer will be responsible for damages caused to NII’s
equipment directly by Acquirer’s acts or omissions, as well
as for those caused by third party tenants in the Tower
Assets, unless such damages were caused by the negligence or
willful acts of NII. NII will have a corresponding
responsibility for damages caused to Acquirer’s or third
party tenants’ equipment caused directly by NII’s acts or
omissions.

B-2

 

	 	 	 
	
	
	
	

	Build-to-Suit	 	
Concurrently with the execution of the APA and the Master
Lease Agreement, NII and Acquirer may enter into a
Build-to-Suit Agreement (the “BTS”) pursuant to which NII
will grant Acquirer with the exclusive right to buy and/or
build, maintain and manage future telecommunications towers
built and/or required to be built by NII (“Build-to Suit
Site”) within a certain period after the execution of the
BTS. Acquirer may acquire all Build-to-Suit Sites that
comply with Acquirer’s mutually agreeable requirements
defined by the parties prior to the completion of the BTS.
If the offered Build-to-Suit Sites do not meet such mutually
agreed requirements, Acquirer may elect to acquire those non
complying sites at a purchase price to be negotiated and
agreed upon prior to the completion of the BTS Site. The
purchase price will be based on the condition and capacity of
the delivered tower.
	
	
	
	

	 	 	 
	
	
	
	

	 	 	
NII will commit to sell to or request the Acquirer to build a
specific number of Build-to-Suit Sites which shall constitute
all Build-to-Suit Sites developed for or by NII for a
specified period.
	
	
	
	

	 	 	 
	
	
	
	

	 	 	
Acquirer will pay NII, as purchase price for each acquired
Build-to-Suit Site, an amount equal to NII’s invoiced cost,
as defined in the pricing schedule to be included in the BTS,
for the construction of that specific Build-to-Suit Site plus
a specified percentage (the “BTS Purchase Price”).
	
	
	
	

	 	 	 
	
	
	
	

	 	 	
If NII exceeds its annual commitments for a specific year
(the “Additional Sites”), NII will offer such Additional
Sites to Acquirer for acquisition. Acquirer may acquire such
Additional Sites provided: (i) the Additional Sites comply
with Acquirer’s minimum requirements as delivered to NII; and
(ii) the total number of Additional Sites do not exceed a
specified percentage of NII’s Commitment for that specific
year. Acquirer will pay to, NII the BTS Purchase Price for
each Additional Site acquired by Acquirer at the moment of
delivery of such Additional Site.
	
	
	
	

	 	 	 
	
	
	
	

	 	 	
Build-to-Suit Sites will be owned by Acquirer and will be
developed, at a minimum, in accordance with NII’s technical
specifications, engineering and location requirements.
Acquirer shall be solely responsible for: (i) all costs
associated with the development of the Build-to-Suit Site,
(ii) all governmental authorizations and permits, and (iii)
costs associated with upgrades of the Build-to-Suit Site for
the maximization of the Build-to-Suit Site’s co-location
capacity, except when such improvements are a result of NII’s
change of orders for Build-to-Suit Sites. Improvements might
include, without limitation, increments in loading capacity,
structural integrity testing and improvements, site
adaptations, technical tests (such as RF and power
interference tests). Such improvements will not interfere
with NII’s operations and telecommunication services.

B-3

 

	 	 	 
	
	
	
	

	 	 	
NII may request Acquirer to improve a specific Build-to-Suit
Site provided: (i) it gives Acquirer the appropriate

Acquirer shall be responsible for the good and proper
maintenance of the Tower Assets and Build-to-Suit Sites in
accordance with industry standards and usual practices.
	
	
	
	

	 	 	 
	
	
	
	

	Tower Improvements	 	
Acquirer will notify NII that Acquirer is willing to improve
the Tower Asset in order to add additional site capacity for
future co-location tenants, at which time, NII will have a
specified time period after receipt of such notification to
request Acquirer to add additional space to such improvement
for NII future needs. Acquirer may elect to build such
additional tower space provided: (i) NII commits to lease
such additional tower space within a specified time period
after completion of the improvement at market rate, (ii) such
additional improvement does not interfere or delay Acquirer’s
co-location activities and (iii) NII’s request is
economically and technically feasible. In any event, all
tower space resulting from Acquirer’s improvements will not
be subject to NII’s Right of First Refusal. Monthly tower
space rent resulting from Acquirer’s improvements will be
subject to market rates.
	
	
	
	

	 	 	 
	
	
	
	

	Representations,
Warranties and
Covenants

material Trademark prior to such Licensee determination, in any country in the
Territory, Licensee must provide Licensor with written notice of such
determination and intention at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the
anticipated last date of use of such Trademark. Such notice is to be provided
for reporting purposes only, and such discontinuance does not constitute a
default or other termination of this Agreement or any license granted
hereunder; provided, however, that upon the expiration of such one hundred
twenty (120) day period Licensee’s license in and to such Trademark within such
country will become non-exclusive, and Licensor will have the right to use such

provision in this Agreement shall grant such rights or be interpreted to the
contrary.

4.8 Quality. (a) Licensed Goods. Licensee recognizes and acknowledges that

and Licensed Goods so purchased will be deemed to be of adequate quality for

damage (including expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees) from and against the
sale, distribution, promotion or advertisement of any Licensed Goods or
rendering any Licensed Services, or other use of the Trademarks by Licensee,
its Authorized Sublicensees or persons claiming rights under or through them
(such as, by way of example and not limitation, independent distributors of
Licensed Goods or sales agents for Licensed Services), by or for Licensee, its
agents or employees in or claimed to be in violation of any applicable law or
regulation or any third party’s rights. Licensee shall give to Licensor
written notice of any such claim or suit within fifteen (15) business days of
the earlier of: (a) the filing or initiation of such claim or suit; and (b) the
date that Licensee knew of such claim or suit, and Licensee shall afford
Licensor the opportunity to defend the claim at Licensee’s expense through
counsel of Licensor’s own choice. Without Licensor’s prior written consent,
which may be withheld, delayed or conditioned by Licensor in its sole and
absolute discretion, Licensee shall not settle, nor shall Licensee consent to
or otherwise voluntarily participate in any resolution of, any such claim or
suit in a manner which might in any way adversely affect any rights of Licensor
in and to the Trademarks, result in any finding of liability or fault against
Licensor or Licensee, or constitute any admission in respect thereof.

6.2 Insurance. Licensee shall maintain at its own expense in full force and
effect at all times during the term of this Agreement and any extensions
thereof with responsible insurance carriers at least Three Million Dollars
(U.S. $3,000,000.00) of product liability insurance covering the Licensed Goods
and general liability insurance covering general business risks. Such
insurance shall be for the benefit of Licensor and Licensee and shall provide
for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Licensor of the
cancellation or material modification thereof shall provide for waiver by
Licensee of all rights of subrogation against Licensor, and shall be subject to
deductibles, co-pays and other terms reasonably acceptable to Licensor.
Subject to the preceding sentence, such insurance may be obtained for Licensor
by Licensee in conjunction with a policy of product liability insurance
covering products other than the Licensed Goods.

request by Licensor, promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to Licensor

riders and endorsements, certificates of insurance and proof of premium
payments.

6.4 Suspension of Use. Following the assertion of any claim that any Licensed
Goods, Licensed Services or other use of the Trademarks violate or conflict

request, Licensee shall (and shall cause its Authorized Sublicensees to)
suspend using the Trademarks on or in connection with the Licensed Goods or
Licensed Services in such country or other portion of the Territory, as
Licensor shall have specified in its written request.

7. Validity of Licensed Trademarks and License.

7.1 Goodwill; Validity. During the term of this Agreement or at any time
hereafter, Licensee shall not (a) disparage the Trademarks or use them in a way
derogatory or critical of Licensor’s goods or services, as determined in

title and exclusive rights in and to the Trademarks nor the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement.

7.2 Benefit of Use. All use of the Trademarks by Licensee shall inure to the
benefit of Licensor. All rights in the Trademarks, other than those
specifically granted herein, are reserved by Licensor for its own use and
benefit. Subject to Section 3.4, upon the expiration or termination of this
Agreement for any reason whatsoever, all rights in the Trademarks shall
automatically revert to Licensor. Licensee shall at any time, whether during
or after the term of this Agreement, execute any documents reasonably required
by Licensor to confirm Licensor’s ownership of all such rights.

7.3 Other Rights. Any copyrights for advertising or promotional materials
(“Copyrights”) or industrial designs which may be created during the term of
this Agreement which bear any of the Trademarks or are used in association with
the Trademarks hereunder shall, except to the extent such materials include or
incorporate Licensee Trademarks, be the exclusive property of Licensor.
Licensee shall (and shall cause its Authorized Sublicensees to) cooperate with
Licensor in the prosecution of any such Copyright or industrial design
applications that Licensor may desire to file, and shall execute any Copyright
or design assignment or other form, and for that purpose Licensee shall supply
to Licensor from time to time such material as may reasonably be required in
connection with any such application or assignment. The rights of Licensee
pursuant to this Agreement shall include, to the extent necessary, the right to
use any such Copyright, or industrial design assigned or assignable to Licensor
hereunder during the term of this Agreement.

7.4 Ownership. It is the intention of the parties that Licensor shall have the
sole and exclusive ownership of all of the Trademarks. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Licensee agrees to immediately
assign (or cause the assignment) to Licensor any other trademarks or service
marks (other than Licensee Trademarks) applied for or registered by Licensee,
or its Authorized Sublicensees, that are derivative of or confusingly similar
to the

9

 

Trademarks. Any registrations or applications from time to time of or for any
Trademark in any country in the Territory other than those specified in Exhibit
A will be the responsibility of Licensee (effected in consultation with
Licensor), at Licensee’s cost and expense. Any applications or registered
trademarks assigned to Licensor pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be
immediately added to Exhibit A by Licensor. All maintenance fees with respect
to any registrations within the Territory for each Trademark will be borne by
Licensee.

7.5 No Warranty. LICENSOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THAT ANY OF THE TRADEMARKS ARE OR WILL REMAIN
VALID, THAT LICENSEE’S (OR ITS AUTHORIZED SUBLICENSEES’) USE OF SUCH MARKS AS
CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER WILL NOT RESULT IN A BREACH, VIOLATION OR CONFLICT WITH
OR OF APPLICABLE LAWS, RULES OR REGULATIONS OR RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES, OR THAT
ANY OF THE TRADEMARKS QUALIFY FOR PATENT, COPYRIGHT OR SIMILAR LEGAL PROTECTION
GIVING THE OWNER AND/OR AUTHORIZED USER OF SUCH TRADEMARKS THE RIGHT TO
PRECLUDE USE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, BY OTHERS, AND LICENSOR FURTHER EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMS ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
Licensee agrees to take such rights as are conferred by Licensor hereunder
subject to such express disclaimer, and further agrees to permanently and
irrevocably waive and release (on behalf of Licensee and its Authorized
Sublicensees) any claims against Licensor, its subsidiaries, officers,
directors, employees and agents based upon or involving, in whole or in part,
any actual or claimed invalidity of, illegality of, or infringement by the
Trademarks, or any other condition or circumstance growing out of use of the
Trademarks in or outside the Territory.

8. Litigation.

8.1 Notice and Cooperation. In the event that Licensee should learn of any
apparent infringement of any right granted by Licensor to Licensee hereunder,
it shall promptly notify Licensor of such use and, if such infringement
involves a third party’s conduct within the Territory, and if requested by
Licensor, shall join with Licensor, in such action as Licensor, in its
reasonable discretion, may deem advisable for the protection of Licensor’s
rights in and to the Trademarks in the Territory. In the event that Licensee
shall be unable or unwilling to join in such action, it is understood and
agreed that Licensor shall have the right to conduct such activity in its own
name.

8.2 Action by Licensee. Licensee shall have no right to take any action with
respect to the Trademarks without Licensor’s prior written approval, which may
be given or withheld in Licensor’s sole discretion. Should Licensor elect not
to take action pursuant to Section 8.1 but to authorize Licensee to take
action, such action shall be at Licensee’s sole expense and shall be prosecuted
by counsel approved by Licensor; however, nothing contained in this Section 8.2
shall require Licensor to take any action which it deems to be inadvisable for
whatever reason. Licensee shall notify Licensor of all developments in such
action, will consult with Licensor

10

 

thereto and will not enter into any settlement agreement or otherwise consent
to or voluntarily participate in any resolution of such action without
Licensor’s prior written approval.

8.3 Recovered Damages. Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, monetary
damages recovered by a party hereto in connection with an infringement shall
first be applied for recoupment of expenses, including reasonable legal
expenses, incurred by the party prosecuting the action or otherwise terminating
the infringement, and the balance of such damages shall be rendered to
Licensor. If the party prosecuting such action considers that it is legally
necessary or desirable to do so, it may join the other party hereto as a party
plaintiff and plead the damages of such party.

9. Remedies for Breach.

respect, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, unless

10. Approval Procedures.

10.1 Request Submission. If any provision in this Agreement requires a party

approval (the “Requesting Party”) must submit a written request for such
approval (a “Request”) to the other party (the “Responding Party”) in
accordance with Section 10.3 together with any materials that must be submitted
with such Request pursuant to this Agreement.

10.2 Approval. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement (i.e., a
specification that a particular determination is to be made in a party’s sole
discretion), a Responding Party may not unreasonably deny any Request. A
Responding Party’s approval of any request must be in writing and delivered
pursuant to Section 10.3. If a Responding Party denies approval of any
Request, such denial must (a) be stated in writing; (b) specify the reasons for
such denial; and (c) be delivered to the Requesting Party pursuant to Section
10.3. Any Request which has not been

affirmatively denied within ten (10) business days (except in the case of
determining whether a proposed mark is an Objectionable Mark as contemplated
under Section 1.7, in which case such time period will be twenty (20) days)
after its receipt together with all relevant material and information shall be
deemed to have been approved. After any Request (or materials submitted
pursuant to such Request) has/have been approved, the Requesting Party may act
in accordance with such request, or, if applicable, use such materials,
repeatedly in the same approved form or manner without need for new approval
for each use, unless the Responding Party notifies the Requesting Party that
such prior approval has been withdrawn.

Requests and works and material submitted for the Responding Party’s review
