Section 2. Terms of Loan

          2.1 The Loans.

Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set
forth in this Credit Agreement, (a) Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to timely and diligently
discharge and perform the Assumed Loans and (b) Lender agrees to make new Loans to Borrower from
time to time during the Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any
time the amount of the Working Capital Sub-Limit.

          2.2 Procedure for Borrowing.

               a. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties
set forth in this Credit Agreement, Lender shall make Loans to Borrower from time to time, within
five (5) Business Days of a written request of Borrower (each, a “Working Capital Loan
Request”) for the Working Capital requirements of Borrower

11

 

and the Borrower Subsidiaries. Each Working Capital Loan Request shall provide the following
information (A) the amount of the Loan, which shall not exceed the reasonable amount necessary to
fund the Working Capital requirements of Borrower and the Borrower Subsidiaries for the following
calendar year, taking into account the then existing cash balances and reasonably expected cash
flows from operations of Borrower and the Borrower Subsidiaries, and (B) wiring instructions. In
no event shall Lender be obligated to make an aggregate amount of Loans under this Section
2.2(a) in excess of the Working Capital Sub-Limit.

               b. Lender’s obligation to make new Loans to Borrower shall terminate upon the expiration of
the Commitment Period and otherwise as expressly provided for herein.

               c. Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part,
without premium or penalty, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to Lender, specifying the
date and amount of prepayment. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice,
together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid (it
being understood that interest added to principal pursuant to Section 2.3(c) shall not be
deemed accrued and unpaid), shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Subject to
Section 2.3(c), partial or total prepayments of the Loans shall be credited first to any
charges or other amounts due to Lender under the terms of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document, then to accrued but unpaid interest on the Loans, then to the principal balance
outstanding.

               d. Amounts prepaid or repaid may not be re-borrowed under this Credit Agreement.

          2.3 Interest Rates and Payments.

               a. Interest shall accrue on the aggregate principal balance from time to time outstanding
hereunder at a rate equal to Nine and One-Half Percent (9.5%) per annum, compounded annually at the
end of each calendar year.

               b. All payments by Borrower hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall be made to Lender at
its address set forth in Section 8.10 in United States dollars and in immediately available
funds on the date on which such payment shall be due.

               c. Subject to Section 2.3(e), until the Amortization Commencement Date, all
interest accrued and unpaid on the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall be
added to and become a part of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans on and as of the last
day of each calendar year and on and as of the day immediately prior to the Amortization
Commencement Date (such amount outstanding on the day immediately prior to the Amortization
Commencement Date, the “Final Principal Amount”). Notwithstanding anything foregoing to
the contrary, any and all interest that is added to the principal balance of the Loans (i) shall
not count against the Working Capital Sub-Limit, (ii) shall not be deemed made to Borrower for
purposes of determining whether Loans made to Borrower pursuant to Working Capital Loan Requests
exceed the Working Capital Sub-Limit and (iii) shall no longer be deemed “unpaid” at the time so
added.

12

 

               d. On the Amortization Commencement Date and on each quarterly anniversary thereof, Borrower
shall pay principal installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Final Principal Amount together
with interest installments equal to the amount of the unpaid interest accrued on the outstanding
Final Principal Amount until the Maturity Date, at which time the entire remaining balance of
principal and accrued interest together with all other amounts due and owing under the Loan
Documents to the extent not paid shall be due and payable.

               e. Within thirty (30) days following the last Business Day of each quarter in Borrower’s
fiscal year, any and all Excess Cash of Borrower and the Borrower Subsidiaries shall be paid to
Lender and shall be credited in accordance with Section 2.2(c).

               f. As long as any payment of principal or interest due under this Credit Agreement, the Note
or any of the other Loan Documents remains past due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) for five (5) days or more, such overdue amount shall accrue interest at
a rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) Eleven and One-Half Percent (11.5%)
per annum and (ii) the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, from the date of such non-payment
until such overdue amount and such interest is paid in full (whether after or before Judgment).
Any amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.3(f) shall be credited in accordance with
Section 2.2(c).

          2.4 Conditions Precedent to Lender’s Consent and Lender’s Obligation to Make Any Loan.

               a. Lender’s consent to the assumption on the Effective Date by Borrower of the Assumed Loans,

respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and
performance by Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of
the Borrower Obligations.

               b. Each Guarantor waives any right or claims of right to cause a marshalling of Borrower’s
assets to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

          3.2 Amendments, Etc. with Respect to the Borrower Obligations.

     Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation
of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any
demand for payment of any of the Borrower Obligations made by Lender may be rescinded by it, and
the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any
collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time
to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, increased, extended, amended, modified, accelerated,
compromised, waived, surrendered or released by Lender (in accordance with the terms thereof), and
this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered
in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part,
as Lender may deem advisable from time to time (with the consent of Borrower, if required hereunder
or thereunder), and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by
Lender, for the payment of the Borrower

16

 

Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Lender has no obligation
to protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien at any time held by it as security for the Borrower
Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 3 or any property subject
thereto.

          3.3 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.

     Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any
of the Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by Lender upon the guarantee
contained in this Section 3 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section
3; the Borrower Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been
created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the
guarantee contained in this Section 3; and all dealings between Borrower and Guarantors, on
the one hand, and Lender, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been
had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 3. Each
Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default, notice
of nonpayment, notice of dishonor and all other notices of any kind to or upon Borrower or any
Guarantor with respect to the Borrower Obligations and any exemption rights that either Loan Party
may have. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section
3 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and
performance without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of this Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or
guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Lender,
(b) any defense, set off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance in full
hereunder) that may at any time be available to or be asserted by Borrower or any other Person
against Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of
Borrower or any Guarantor) that constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or
legal discharge of Borrower for the Borrower Obligations or of any Guarantor under the guarantee
contained in this Section 3, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any
demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor,
Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such
rights and remedies as it may have against Borrower or any other Person or against any collateral
security or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and
any failure by Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to
collect any payments from Borrower or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral
security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Borrower or any
other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any
Guarantor of any Guarantor Obligations, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies,
whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Lender against any Guarantor. For the
purposes hereof, “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

          3.4 Reinstatement.

     The guarantee contained in this Section 3 shall continue to be effective, or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Borrower
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lender upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower, or upon or as a

17

 

result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or collateral agent or
similar officer for, Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though
such payments had not been made.

          3.5 Payments.

     Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder shall be paid to Lender without set

     Each of the Loan Parties hereby covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:

          6.1 Use of Proceeds.

covenants, conditions and obligations required to be performed by it under the LLC Agreement, the
Management Agreement and any Trademark License Agreement and all other material agreements to which
it is a party or by which it is bound, except to the extent the failure to observe and perform such
covenants, conditions and obligations would not have a Borrower Material Adverse Effect or a
Guarantor Material Adverse Effect.

22

 

          6.3 Payment.

     Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender the obligations due at the times and places and in the

          6.4 Existence.

     Except as otherwise permitted hereunder, each Loan Party shall maintain: (a) its limited
liability company (or, if such Loan Party is not a limited liability company, corporate or other)
existence under the laws of the State of Delaware; (b) its good standing and its right to carry on
its business and operations in Delaware and in each other jurisdiction in which the character of
the properties owned or leased by it or the business conducted by it makes such qualification
necessary and the failure to be in good standing would preclude such Loan Party or Lender from
enforcing its rights with respect to any material assets or expose such Loan Party to any material
liability; and (c) all licenses, permits and authorizations necessary to the conduct of its
business.

          6.5 Compliance with Laws, Taxes, Etc.

6.5, as to taxes, assessments and governmental charges, Lender may, but is not obligated to,
satisfy such obligations in whole or in part and any payments made and expenses incurred in doing
so shall constitute principal indebtedness hereunder governed by the terms of the Note and shall be
paid or reimbursed by Borrower upon demand by Lender.

applied and shall permit representatives of Lender to examine such books and records upon
reasonable request. Each Loan Party shall permit representatives of Lender to discuss its affairs
and finances with the principal officers of such Loan Party and its independent public accountants,

     Each Loan Party shall maintain in full force and effect (a) an adequate errors and omissions
insurance policy, (b) such other insurance coverage, on all properties of a character usually
insured by organizations engaged in the same or similar business against loss or damage of a kind
customarily insured against by such organizations, (c) adequate public liability

23

 

insurance against tort claims that may be asserted against such Loan Party and (d) such other

coverages required hereunder.

          6.8 Financial Statements and Other Reports.

providing a quality of service better or substantially similar to that provided by, and at a price
that is less than or substantially similar to the price charged by, Cricket under the Management

          6.16 Dividends, Distributions or Return of Capital.

               a. Each Loan Party agrees that it shall not, without the prior approval of Lender, which
approval may be withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, make any dividend, distribution
or return of capital or other payments to any Loan Party or its Affiliates, except that (i)
Borrower Subsidiaries may make Permitted Distributions to another Borrower Subsidiary or to
Borrower, and Borrower to its Members, as applicable, (ii) Borrower Subsidiaries may make
distributions for the payment of the Loan Parties’ expenses to the extent consistent with
Borrower’s annual business plan and budget then in effect under the LLC Agreement, (iii) Borrower
may make payments of management fees to Managers (as defined in the LLC Agreement) pursuant to

capital to another Borrower Subsidiary or Borrower, and Borrower to its Members, as applicable,
solely from excess cash, if, in the case of clause (iv) only, after giving effect to such proposed
distribution or return of capital the aggregate amount of all such distributions and returns of
capital paid or made in any fiscal year (including, without duplication, distributions described in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above) would be less than 50% of the Consolidated Net Income for the
fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which such distribution or return of capital
is paid or made.

               b. For purposes of this Section 6.16, the following term shall have the following
meaning:

               (i) “Consolidated Net Income” means, for any fiscal year, the net income of Borrower
and its Subsidiaries (without giving effect to extraordinary gains or extraordinary losses)
calculated on a consolidated basis, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

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

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

          6.17 Liens.

               a. No Loan Party shall create or permit to exist at any time, any mortgage, deed of trust,
trust deed, lien, security interest, pledge, charge or other encumbrance against any of its

owned or hereafter acquired, or assign or sell any income or revenues (including accounts
receivable) or rights in respect thereof except for Permitted Liens, and each

29

 

Loan Party shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly take all such action as may be
necessary duly to discharge, or cause to be discharged all such mortgages, deeds of trust, trust
deeds, liens, security interests, pledges, charges or other encumbrances.

          6.18 Disposition of Assets.

approval may be withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, sell, lease, convey, transfer,
or otherwise dispose of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired except in the
ordinary course of business, except for any Permitted Disposition and except to a Borrower
Subsidiary; provided, that, to the extent required by the DSM Security Agreement, the net
cash proceeds from each such Permitted Disposition are paid to DSM to satisfy, in whole or in part,
the obligations of Cricket under the DSM Promissory Note (and in each case, to the extent that
there are net cash proceeds in excess of the amount required to satisfy such obligations, such
excess is retained by License Sub A as collateral subject to Lender’s security interest under the
Loan Documents); and provided, further, that, to the extent required by the Ring
Island Security Agreement, the net cash proceeds from each such Permitted Disposition are paid to
Ring Island to satisfy, in whole or in part, the Guaranteed Obligations (and in each case, to the
extent that there are net cash proceeds in excess of the amount required to satisfy such
obligations, such excess is retained by Borrower or the applicable Borrower Subsidiary as
collateral subject to Lender’s security interest under the Loan Documents).

Section 7. Events of Default and their Effect

          7.1 Events of Default.

     The occurrence and continuance of any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default
under this Credit Agreement and the Note (each, an “Event of Default”):

               a. Failure to Pay. Borrower fails to pay when due and payable any principal payment,
interest or other payment required under the terms of this Credit Agreement or the Note that is not
cured within five (5) Business Days after the date on which Lender delivers notice to Borrower that
such payment is past due; or

               b. Breaches of Other Covenants. Any Loan Party fails to observe or perform in any
material respect any covenant, obligation or agreement contained in this Credit Agreement or any
covenant, obligation or agreement under any of the other Loan Documents and such failure shall
continue unremedied for thirty (30) days after the earlier of (i) notice thereof from Lender or
(ii) the actual knowledge of such failure by a senior executive officer of such Loan Party;
provided, however, that a failure to observe any covenant set forth in Section
6.11, Section 6.16 or Section 6.18 shall constitute an Event of Default
immediately upon the occurrence thereof and without any cure period; provided,
further, that no such failure shall be an Event of Default if such failure was caused by
Cricket, Lender or one of their respective Subsidiaries or other Affiliates (whether as Lender, the
Management Company or otherwise) or consented to by Cricket, Lender or one of their respective
Subsidiaries or other Affiliates in writing; or

30

 

               c. Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. (i) Any Loan Party (A) applies for or
consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or
a substantial part of its property, (B) is unable, or admits in writing its inability, to pay its
debts generally as they mature, (C) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its or any of its
creditors, (D) is dissolved or liquidated in full or in part, (E) becomes insolvent (as such term
may be defined or interpreted under Applicable Law), (F) commences a voluntary case or other

under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or (G) takes any
action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing or (ii) a case or proceeding under the
bankruptcy laws of the United States now or hereafter in effect or under any insolvency,
reorganization, receivership, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law of any
jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect is filed against any Loan Party or all or any part of its
properties and such application is not dismissed, bonded or discharged within sixty (60) days after
the date of its filing or such Loan Party shall file any answer admitting or not contesting such
petition or application or indicates its consent to, acquiescence in or approval of any such action
or proceeding or the relief requested is granted sooner; or

               d. Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty made by any Loan
Party herein or in any other Loan Document shall be false as of the date made (or deemed made) in
any material respect, except for representations and warranties which are qualified as to
materiality or material adverse effect, which shall be true and correct in all respects as of the
date made (or deemed made) taking into account such qualifications, and not cured prior to the
expiration of any applicable cure period, (except that no breach of any representation or warranty
made by any Loan Party in Section 5.4, 5.6 or 5.7 shall be an Event of
Default if such breach was caused by Cricket, Lender or one of their respective Subsidiaries or
other Affiliates (whether as Lender, the Management Company or otherwise) or consented to by
Cricket, Lender or one of their respective Subsidiaries or other Affiliates in writing; or

lien in favor of Lender ceases to be, or is not, valid, perfected and prior to all other liens and
security interests (other than Permitted Liens), except (i) as a result of Lender’s relinquishment
of possession of any unit certificates, promissory notes or other documents delivered to it under
the Security Agreement or the Pledge Agreement, (ii) where the perfection of such liens is pending
during the transmission to the appropriate filing office of applicable and appropriate
documentation required by applicable law to perfect such liens, (iii) with respect to intellectual
property collateral, where the perfection of such liens may not be accomplished by recording in the
United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or the United States Copyright Office and the filing
of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or where the time period contemplated in the
applicable Security Agreement has not expired or (iv) as a result of the release of such lien as a
result of a Permitted Disposition or other disposition hereunder in

31

 

accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements, the Security
Agreement or the Pledge Agreement; or

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

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

          7.2 Remedies Upon Event of Default.

               a. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing then Lender, upon notice to the
Borrower, may do any or all of the following: (i) terminate or reduce the commitment of Lender to
make Loans to Borrower under this Credit Agreement, (ii) declare all obligations of Borrower
hereunder and under the Note to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the Borrower Obligations
hereunder and under the Note shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand,
protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything in this
Credit Agreement or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, (iii) enforce its
rights under any one or more of the Loan Documents in accordance with Applicable Law, (iv) subject
to prior FCC approval, if required, without any obligation to do so, make disbursements to or on
behalf of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to cure any default and render any performance under
any other agreement by Borrower or any of the Borrower Subsidiaries and (v) subject to prior FCC
approval, if required, perform on behalf of Borrower or any of the Borrower Subsidiaries any and
all work and labor necessary to build, operate and maintain the License System; provided
that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 7.1(c), 7.1(e) or
7.1(h) the commitment of Lender shall immediately terminate and all Borrower Obligations
shall automatically become immediately due and payable without notice or demand of any kind.

               b. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter so long as any Event
of Default shall be continuing, Lender may proceed to protect

32

 

and enforce this Credit Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents by suit or suits or
proceedings in equity, at law or in bankruptcy, and whether for the specific performance of any
covenant or agreement herein contained or in execution or aid of any power herein granted, or for
foreclosure hereunder, or for the appointment of a receiver or receivers for the collateral subject
to the applicable Loan Documents or for the recovery of judgment for the indebtedness secured
thereby or for the enforcement of any other proper, legal or equitable remedy available under
Applicable Law.

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

            d. Any and all remedies of Lender hereunder, including those described in Sections
7.2(a) through (c), inclusive, above, are subject to the terms of the applicable
Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements and must be exercised in accordance therewith.

Section 8. Miscellaneous

          8.1 Entire Agreement; Amendment.

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

          8.2 Successors and Assigns.

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

33

 

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

          8.3 Rights and Remedies.

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

          8.4 Indemnity; Reimbursement of Lender.

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

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

          8.5 Highest Lawful Rate.

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

34

 

          8.6 Counterparts.

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

          8.7 Modification and Waiver.

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

          8.8 Payments on Business Days.

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

          8.9 Expenses.

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

          8.11 Severability.

     In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Credit Agreement shall for any
reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court or other authority
of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any
other provision hereof and this Credit Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and, in lieu of each such illegal, invalid
or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Credit Agreement a
provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be
possible and be legal, valid and enforceable, it being the intent of the parties to maintain the
benefit of the bargain for all parties.

          8.12 Reformation.

               a. If the FCC should (i) change any FCC Rule in a manner that would adversely affect the
enforceability of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) directly or

the other Loan Documents or (iii) take any other steps whatsoever, on its own initiative or by
petition from another Person, to (A) challenge or deny the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, (B) challenge or deny the eligibility of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to retain any
“closed” License or (C) assert any requirement or obligation to make an Unjust Enrichment Payment,
as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, then the parties shall promptly
consult with each other and negotiate in good faith to reform and

36

 

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

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

          8.13 Governing Law.

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

          8.14 Arbitration.

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

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

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

37

 

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

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

               e. Fees, Costs and Expenses. Subject to the terms and conditions of any arbitration
with which such arbitration is consolidated pursuant to Section 8.14(g) below, the fees,
costs and expenses of the arbitration (including the reasonable legal expenses of the substantially
prevailing party incurred in connection with the arbitration and the costs of all experts and
witnesses relating thereto) shall be borne by the party who is not the substantially prevailing
party, as determined by the arbitration panel based on the arbitration panel’s resolution of the
issues. If the arbitration panel determines that no party is the substantially prevailing party,
then Lender, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, shall each bear 50% of all
fees, costs and expenses of the arbitration, and each party shall bear its own legal expenses
incurred in connection with the arbitration and the costs of its experts and witnesses relating
thereto.

               f. Award. The award shall be made within ninety (90) days of the filing of the notice
of intention to arbitrate, and the arbitrators shall agree to comply with this schedule before
accepting appointment. However, this time limit may be extended by agreement of the parties and
the arbitrators if necessary.

               g. Consent to Consolidation of Arbitrations. Each party irrevocably consents to
consolidating any arbitration proceeding under this Credit Agreement and/or any of the other Loan
Documents with any other arbitration proceedings that may be then pending that are brought under
this Credit Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents, the Contribution Agreement, the LLC
Agreement, any Trademark License Agreement, the Management Agreement, that certain LLC Interest
Purchase Agreement dated September 21, 2010 by and between DSM and Cricket, the DSM Promissory
Note, the DSM Security Documents, the Ring Island Security Documents or, in each case, any related
agreements, whether or not such party is party to such proceedings.

38

 

          8.15 Lender’s Discretion.

     Unless this Credit Agreement shall otherwise expressly provide, Lender shall have the right to
make any decision, grant or withhold any consent, and exercise any other right or remedy hereunder
in its sole and absolute discretion.

          8.16 Headings.

Agreement.
