During the Revolving Credit Period each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make loans to the Borrower pursuant to this Section from time to time in amounts such that the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans by such Bank at any one time outstanding plus (y) such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed the amount of its Commitment.Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 (except that any such Borrowing may be in the maximum aggregate amount available in accordance with Section 3.03(d)) and shall be made from the several Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow under this Section, repay or, to the extent permitted by Section 2.12, prepay Loans and reborrow at any time during the Revolving Credit Period under this Section. All Loans will be made by all Banks (pro rata between the 2019 Banks and 2021 Banks) in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Commitments until the 2019 Commitment Termination Date; thereafter, all Loans will be made by the 2021 Banks in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Commitments until the 2021 Commitment Termination Date, in each case subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.03(d).

(b) Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Banks set forth in Section 2.20, (A) from time to time on any Domestic Business Day during the period from the Amendment Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to make L/C Credit Extensions either (i) for the account of the Borrower, its Consolidated Entities, its Members or members of its Consolidated Entities or (ii) in support of a letter of credit issued by the Borrower as a back-up confirmation or backup credit support of such letter of credit (“Back-Up Letter of Credit”), and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.20(a)(i) and (ii), and (B) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit issued by it; and (ii) the Banks severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower, its Consolidated Entities, its Members or members of its Consolidated Entities and any L/C Borrowings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (1) the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans of any Bank, plus (y) such Bank’s

Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Bank’s Commitment, (2) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit and (3) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations of each Initial Issuing Bank shall not exceed the Initial Issuing Bank Sublimit of such Initial Issuing Bank unless otherwise agreed by such Initial Issuing Bank; provided, further that the 2019 Banks agreement to purchase participations in Letters of Credit shall be limited to their Pro Rata Share of any Letters of Credit with an expiration date that is no later than five Domestic Business Days prior to the 2019 Commitment Termination Date and is otherwise subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.03(d). Each request by the Borrower for the issuance of, or an amendment to increase the amount of, any Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the condition set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(c) Letters of Credit Generally. (i) No Issuing Bank (c) shall issue any Letter of Credit if the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Banks have approved such expiry date; provided that in no event shall the expiry date of any requested Letter of Credit occur on or after the Domestic Business Day immediately preceding the Commitment Termination Date.

(ii) No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to make any L/C Credit Extension if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Applicable Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, being a request or directive which is generally complied with by comparable financial institutions) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of Letters of Credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the FirstSecond Amendment Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the FirstSecond Amendment Effective Date and which such Issuing Bank in good

attach to and make a part of its Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

Section 2.06. Maturity of Loans. Each Loan hereunder shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date with respect to such Loan.

Section 2.07. Interest Rates. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the applicable Base Rate Margin for such day. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, with respect to the principal amount of any Base Rate Loan that is prepaid or converted to a Euro-Dollar Loan, on the date of such prepayment or conversion. Any overdue principal of or interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day.

(b) Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Euro-Dollar Margin plus the applicable Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, three months after the first day thereof and, with respect to the principal amount of any Euro-Dollar Loan that is prepaid or converted to a Base Rate Loan, on the date of such prepayment or conversion.

The “Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate” applicable to any Interest Period means a rate per annum equal to the quotient obtained (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) by dividing (i) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate by (ii) 1.00 minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage.

The “London Interbank Offered Rate” applicable to any Interest Period means the rate appearing on pages LIBOR01 or LIBOR02 of the Reuters screen that displays such rate (or on any successor or substitute page of such Reuters Service, or if the Reuters Service ceases to be available, any successor to or substitute for such Reuters Service, providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on such page of such Reuters Service, as determined by the

Administrative Agent from time to time for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to dollar deposits in the London interbank market) at approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) two Euro-Dollar Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, as the rate for the offering of dollar deposits with a maturity comparable to such Interest Period; provided, that if such rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement; provided further, that if the London Interbank Offered Rate is not available for such Interest Period, then the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate shall be the Interpolated Rate. “Interpolated Rate” means, at any time, for any Interest Period, the rate per annum (rounded to the same number of decimal places as the London Interbank Offered Rate) reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) to be equal to the rate that results from interpolating on a linear basis between: (a) the London Interbank Offered Rate for the longest period (for which the London Interbank Offered Rate is available) that is shorter than the Interest Period and (b) the London Interbank Offered Rate for the shortest period (for which the London Interbank Offered Rate is available) that exceeds the Interest Period; provided that, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means still do not exist for ascertaining the Interpolated Rate, then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any interest election request that requests the conversion of any Base Rate Loan to, or continuation of any Euro-Dollar Loan as, a Euro- Dollar Loan shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Loan requests a Euro-Dollar Loan, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Loan.

If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in the paragraph above have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth above have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the rate appearing on pages LIBOR01 or LIBOR02 of the Reuters screen that displays such rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the rate appearing on pages LIBOR01 or LIBOR02 of the Reuters screen that displays such rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the London Interbank Offered Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.05, such amendment shall become effective

without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Banks, a written notice from the Required Banks stating that such Required Banks object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this paragraph (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph, only to the extent the rate appearing on pages LIBOR01 or LIBOR02 of the Reuters screen that displays such rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any interest election request that requests the conversion of any Base Rate Loan to, or continuation of any Euro-Dollar Loan as, a Euro-Dollar Loan shall be ineffective and (y) if any Loan requests a Euro-Dollar Loan, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Loan; provided that if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

To the extent a comparable or successor rate to the London Interbank Offered Rate is approved by the Administrative Agent in connection herewith, the approved rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such approved rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

“Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage” means for any day that percentage (expressed as a decimal) which is in effect on such day, as prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for determining the maximum reserve requirement for a member bank of the Federal Reserve System in New York City with deposits exceeding five billion Dollars in respect of “Eurocurrency liabilities” (or in respect of any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Euro-Dollar Loans is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Bank to United States residents). The Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage.

(c) Any overdue principal of or interest on any Euro-Dollar Loan and any other overdue amount payable hereunder (other than in respect of any Money Market Loan as provided in the following paragraph) shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus (i) in the case of principal, the rate otherwise applicable to Euro-Dollar Loans for such day or (ii) in the case of interest and any other overdue amount payable hereunder (other than in respect of any Money Market Loan as provided in

issued hereunder on the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit in an amount to be agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank of the L/C Obligations (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit) (the “Fronting Fee”). The Fronting Fee shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days (including the first day but excluding the last day), as pro-rated for any partial quarter, as applicable, and shall be due and payable on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall, with respect to all Letters of Credit issued at its request, pay directly to each Issuing Bank for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(e) Amendment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each 2021 Bank on the FirstSecond Amendment Effective Date the upfront fees required to be paid on such date, as set forth in the 20162017 Fee Letters.

Section 2.12. Optional Prepayments.

such optional prepayment shall be applied to the 2019 Loans and 2021 Loans in such Group of Loans on a pro rata basis; and provided further if the Borrower desires to terminate all 2019 Commitments in accordance with Section 2.10(i), the Borrower may prepay all 2019 Loans outstanding at such time and upon such prepayment, terminate the 2019 Commitments in accordance with 2.10(i). Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks included in such Group of Loans (or such Money Market Borrowing).

(b) Except as provided in Section 2.12(a), the Borrower may not prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of any Money Market Loan prior to the maturity thereof.

(c) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s ratable share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

Section 2.13. General Provisions as to Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans or L/C Obligations and of fees hereunder, not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01.The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank Party its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Bank Parties. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans or Money Market Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Bank Parties hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may (but shall have no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank Party. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank Party together with

necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Bank Party has or has not complied with such Bank Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds.

Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16(g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.16(g) if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.16(g) shall not be construed to require indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) FATCA. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Banks hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

Commitment or any combination of the foregoing, so long as such increase satisfies all terms and conditions herein, including, but not limited to, this Section 2.17, (ii) the amount of such increase when added to the aggregate amount of all such prior increases in the Commitments hereunder (including by way of creating new Commitments), on or after the Amendment Effective Date, does not exceed the sum of $500,000,000 and the amount of any Commitments terminated by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19(c) and (iii) the total aggregate amount of Commitments hereunder does not, at any time, exceed $2,200,000,000.

(b) Any such increase in the Commitments (the “Incremental Commitments”) hereunder shall apply, at the option of the Borrower, (x) to the Commitment of one or more Banks; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Bank the Commitment of which is to be increased shall consent to such increase, (ii) the amount set forth on the Commitment Schedule opposite the name of each Bank the Commitment of which is being so increased shall be amended to reflect the increased Commitment of such Bank and (iii) if any Committed Loans are outstanding at the time of such an increase, the Borrower will, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on the date of such increase, incur and repay or prepay one or more Committed Loans from the Banks in such amounts so that after giving effect thereto the Committed Loans shall be outstanding on a pro rata basis (based on the Commitments of the Banks after giving effect to the changes made pursuant to this Section 2.17 on such date) from all the Banks or (y) to the creation of a new Commitment of one or more institutions not then a Bank hereunder; provided that (i) such institution becomes a party to this Agreement as a Bank by execution and delivery to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of counterparts of this Agreement, (ii) the Commitment Schedule shall be amended to reflect the Commitment of such new Bank, (iii) if requested by such new Bank, the Borrower shall issue a Note to such new Bank in conformity with the provisions of Section 2.05, (iv) if any Committed Loans are outstanding at the time of the creation of such Commitment of such Bank, the Borrower will, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on the date of the creation of such Commitment, incur and repay or prepay one or more Committed Loans from the Banks in such amounts so that after giving effect thereto the Committed Loans shall be outstanding on a pro rata basis (based on the Commitments of the Banks after giving effect to the changes made pursuant to this Section 2.17 on such date) from all the Banks and (v) if such institution is neither a banking institution nor an affiliate of a Bank, such institution must be consented to by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank.

Issuing Bank, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Banks of any such replacement or addition, as applicable, of an Issuing Bank. Where an Issuing Bank is replaced, at the time such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for account of the replaced Issuing Bank. Furthermore, from and after the effective date of such replacement, the successor Issuing Bank, shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter.

one year after the Commitment Termination Date then in effect for such Bank hereunder (the “Existing Commitment Termination Date”); provided, however, the Borrower may request no more than two extensions pursuant to this Section.

(b) In the event it receives a notice from the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.22(a), each Bank, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not earlier than 30 days prior to the applicable Anniversary Date and not later than the date (the “Bank Extension Notice Date”) that is 20 days prior to the applicable Anniversary Date, advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Bank agrees to such extension (and each Bank that determines not to so extend its Existing Commitment Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Bank”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Bank Extension Notice Date)), and any Bank that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Bank Extension Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Bank.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Bank’s determination (or deemed determination) under this Section no later than the date that is 15 days prior to the applicable Anniversary Date, or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day (the “Specified Date”).

(e) If (and only if) the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Banks that have agreed to extend their Existing Commitment

Termination Dates plus the aggregate additional Commitments of the Additional Commitment Banks shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Specified Date, then, effective as of the Extension Date, the Existing Commitment Termination Date of each Bank agreeing to an extension and of each Additional Commitment Bank shall be extended to the date that is one year after the Existing Commitment Termination Date, and each Additional Commitment Bank shall thereupon become a “Bank” for all purposes of this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of any Bank’s Existing Commitment Termination Date (and the accession of each Additional Commitment Bank) pursuant to this Section shall be effective on the Extension Date only if (i) the following statements shall be true: (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would result from the extension of the Existing Commitment Termination Date and (B) all the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of materiality qualifications otherwise set forth in such representations and warranties, before and after giving effect to such extension), and (ii) on or prior to the Extension Date the Administrative Agent shall have received the following, each dated the Extension Date and in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (1) a certificate signed by any one of the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Executive Officer, the Treasurer, an Assistant Secretary-Treasurer, the Controller or the Vice President, Capital Markets Relations of the Borrower to the effect that the conditions set forth in clauses (c) through (g), inclusive, of Section 3.03 have been satisfied as of the Extension Date and, in the case of clauses (c), (d) and (g), setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations required to establish such compliance, (2) a certificate of an officer of the Borrower acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that all consents, authorizations, notices and filings required or advisable in connection with the extension of the Existing Commitment Termination Date are in full force and effect, and the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to it, (3) an opinion of the General Counsel of the Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereof, provided that an enforceability opinion under New York law, that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, shall be furnished by the Borrower’s New York counsel, Norton ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ US LLP, subject to customary assumptions, qualifications and limitations and (4) such other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(g) Subject to subsection (e) above, the Commitment of any Non- Extending Bank that has not been replaced pursuant to subsection (d) above shall (i) automatically terminate on its Existing Commitment Termination

Date or (ii) at the option of the Borrower, with respect to the Commitments

of all Non-Extending Banks that have advised the Borrower of their

unwillingness to agree to an extension in response to a notice delivered

pursuant to Section 2.22(a), terminate on any Anniversary Date occurring

prior thereto (in each case without regard to any extension by any other

Bank); it being understood and agreed that such Non-Extending Bank’s

participations in Letters of Credit outstanding on such Existing Commitment

ICC TRANSACTIONS

Background

As described in the Borrower’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Rural Telephone Finance Cooperative (“RTFC”), a Consolidated Entity of the Borrower, made secured loans to Innovative Communication Corporation (“ICC”), a diversified telecommunications company organized under the laws of the United States Virgin Islands (“USVI”) and headquartered in St. Croix, USVI and its affiliates. Through operating divisions and subsidiaries, ICC provided cellular, wireline local and long-distance telephone, cable television, Internet access and other telecommunications services in the eastern and southern Caribbean among other places. ICC and its subsidiaries are hereby defined as the “ICC Companies.”

Beginning in 2006, ICC and certain of its affiliates were the subject of pending bankruptcy proceedings and a Bankruptcy Trustee was appointed to manage the operations and assets of the ICC bankruptcy estate (the “Trustee”).The Trustee separated the assets of the bankruptcy estates, including certain of the ICC Companies, into three asset groups (“Group 1,” “Group 2” and “Group 3”). Group 2 and Group 3 were sold in 2009 and 2010 to parties unrelated to the Borrower, with the proceeds from the sale being applied to pay administrative expenses of the estates and a portion of RTFC debt. Group 1, which was sold to direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Borrower, as detailed in the ICC Transactions below, included companies engaged in wireline telephone operations in the USVI, wireless telephone operations in the USVI and St. Maarten, cable television service operations in the USVI, the British Virgin Islands and St.Maarten, and related telecommunications and complementary operations (collectively, as ownedby direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Borrower, the “ICC Assets”):

ICC Transactions

Borrower’s Acquisition of the ICC Assets.

In order to effect the acquisition of the ICC Assets, including the equity interests in the ICC Companies in Group 1, RTFC and the Trustee entered into a Purchase Agreement, approved by the Bankruptcy Court and proving for a $250 million credit bid (collectively, “ICC Assets”). Following regulatory approval and satisfaction of other conditions, Borrower’s direct subsidiary, Caribbean Asset Holdings, LLC (“CAH”), and its direct and indirect subsidiaries took ownership of the ICC Assets (collectively as the “ICC Related Companies”) in 2010 and 2011.

As part of and following the acquisitions of the ICC Related Companies, (i) the Borrower has provided equity and/or debt capitalization and ongoing funding,

Schedule 9.15

including working capital and capital expense to the ICC Related Companies; (ii) Borrower provided funding directly or through the ICC Related Companies for settlement or satisfaction of third-party claims against the ICC Companies; (iii) Borrower has provided credit support and/or credit enhancement for obligations of ICC Related Companies, including guaranties or letters of credit; (iv) Borrower holdsheld such ICC Assets through the ICC Related Companies, and operates or providesoperated or provided for their operation for the purpose of preserving and rehabilitating such ICC Assets, preparing them for resale or other disposition and reselling or disposing of them in one or more transactions at a price or prices or for other consideration satisfactory to the Borrower; and (v) Borrower, through its subsidiaries, has engaged staff and outside consultants, agents, managers, management companies and other professional advisers to advise and assist with respect to, or to carry out, the foregoing.

Disposition of the ICC Companies and ICC Assets.

As set forth in greater detail in Borrower’s Form 8-K filed with the U.S.Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), dated September 30, 2015, Borrower entered into a definitive agreement for a sale to ATN VI Holdings, LLC (the “Buyer”) and Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc., the parent corporation of the Buyer (“Atlantic”), of all the issued and outstanding membership interests of Borrower’s direct subsidiary CAH, which owns the other ICC Related Companies.(the “Disposition”) for a purchase price of $145 million, subject to certain adjustments. RTFC has committed to provide debt financing of up to $60 million, providing Buyer with the option to finance a portion of the purchase price. Atlantic willcommitted to provide a guarantee on an unsecured basis of Buyer’sobligations to RTFC pursuant to the financing.

On July 1, 2016, Borrower filed a Form 8-K with the SEC announcing that the purchase agreement was amended to adjust the purchase price by $1.25 million, for a purchase price of approximately $144 million, and the Disposition was completed. Net proceeds from the Disposition arewere subject to post-closing adjustments. Additionally, Borrower remains subject to potential indemnification claims, as more particularly described in the purchase agreement. In connection

with the Disposition, $16 million of the sale proceeds were deposited into escrow to fund potential indemnification claims for a period of 15 months following the closing. Borrower has received $12.9 million from the escrow and is evaluating whether claims asserted are subject to indemnification and what amounts, if any, would be owed to Buyer under the purchase agreement.

All of the transactions, actions and other matters referred to above (together with such other related transactions and steps, occurring prior to or concurrently with or within a reasonable time after the transactions, actions and other matters referred to above and as may be reasonably necessary to carry out

The Borrower is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business in which it is engaged makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in those jurisdictions in which the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not (after qualification, assuming that the Borrower could so qualify without the payment of any fee or penalty and retain its rights as they existed prior to such qualification all to an extent so that any fees or penalties required to be so paid or any rights not so retained would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business or financial position of the Borrower), individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect upon the business or financial position of the Borrower.

2. The Borrower has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Extended Agreement and each of the Notes dated the date hereof (the “Subject Notes”). The Extended Agreement and the Subject Notes have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower.¹

3. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to my knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Borrower by or before any court or any governmental authority, body or agency or any arbitration board which are reasonably likely to materially adversely affect the business, financial position or results of operations of the Borrower or the authority or ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations under the Extended Agreement or the Subject Notes. Without limiting the foregoing opinion, I would like to draw your attention to the legal actions described on Annex A.

4. No authorization, consent, approval or license of, or declaration, filing or registration with or exemption by, any governmental authority, body or agency is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower of the Extended Agreement or the Subject Notes.

5. The holders of the Borrower’s Members’ Subordinated Certificates are not and will not be entitled to receive any payments with respect to the principal thereof or interest thereon solely because of withdrawing or being expelled from membership in the Borrower.

¹The opinion with respect to the enforceability of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement under New York law shall be provided by Borrower’s New York counsel, Norton ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ US LLP, subject to customary assumptions, qualifications and limitations.

6. Neither the Borrower nor any Consolidated Entity is in default in any material respect under any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it or its property or assets is bound. No event or condition exists which constitutes, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would constitute, such a default under any such agreement or other instrument.Neither the execution and delivery of the Extended Agreement or the Subject Notes, nor the consummation of any of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the terms and provisions thereof, will contravene any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Borrower is subject or any judgment, decree, award, franchise, order or permit applicable to the Borrower, or will conflict or be inconsistent with, or will result in any material breach of, any of the material terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute (or with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute) a default under (or condition or event entitling any Person to require, whether by purchase, redemption, acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower to perform any obligations prior to the scheduled maturity thereof), or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which it may be subject, or violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower is not a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower, any agreement or indenture relating thereto or any other contract or agreement (including its certificate of incorporation and by-laws), which would be violated by the incurring of the Indebtedness to be evidenced by the Subject Notes.

7. The Borrower has complied fully with all of the material provisions of each Indenture. No Event of Default (within the meaning of such term as defined in any Indenture) and no event, act or condition (except for possible non-compliance by the Borrower with any immaterial provisions of such Indenture which in itself is not such an Event of Default under such Indenture) which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute such an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under such Indenture. The borrowings by the Borrower contemplated by the Extended Agreement will not cause such an Event of Default under, or the violation of any covenant contained in, any Indenture.

8. Set forth on Annex BA attached hereto is a true, correct and complete list of all of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures, the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of each such Subsidiary and Joint Venture and the nature and percentage of the Borrower’s ownership of each such Subsidiary and Joint Venture.

9. The Borrower has received a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that it is exempt from payment of Federal income tax under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and nothing has come to our attention that leads us to believe that the Borrower is not so exempt.

Annex A

In June 2015, the Rural Telephone Finance Cooperative (“RTFC”), a Consolidated Entity of CFC, received a notice of deficiency from the Virgin Islands Bureau of Internal Revenue (the “BIR”) alleging that RTFC owes tax or other amounts, plus interest, in connection with tax years 1996 and 1997, and 1999 through 2005. On September 4, 2015, RTFC filed a petition with the District Court of the Virgin Islands in response to the BIR’s notice of deficiency. RTFC believes that these allegations are without merit and plans to timely contest this determination in the Federal District Court of the Virgin Islands.

Nothing herein constitutes an admission that the foregoing are reasonably likely to materially adversely affect the business, financial position or results of CFC or the authority or ability of CFC to perform its obligations under the Agreement or the Subject Notes.
