other applicable provisions of law to execute and deliver and assume the Current
REA Note, the Outstanding REA Notes, the Mortgagor/McLoud Assumption REA Notes,

authority to mortgage the property described in the granting clauses of this
Mortgage for the purposes herein expressed, and that the said property is free
and clear of any deed of trust, mortgage, lien, charge or encumbrance thereon or
affecting the title thereto, except (i) the lien of this Mortgage and taxes or
assessments not yet due; (ii) deposits or pledges to secure payment of workmen's
compensation, unemployment insurance, old age pensions or other social security;
and (iii) deposits or pledges to secure performance of bids, tenders, contracts

purposes of like general nature in the ordinary course of business.
The Mortgagor will, so long as any of the notes shall be outstanding,
maintain and preserve the lien of this Mortgage superior to all other liens
affecting the Mortgaged Property, and will forever warrant and defend the title
to the property described as being mortgaged hereby to the Mortgagees against
any and all claims and demands whatsoever. The Mortgagor will promptly pay or
discharge any and all obligations for or on account of which any such lien or
charge might exist or could be created and any and all lawful taxes, rates,
levies, assessments, liens, claims or other charges imposed upon or accruing
upon any of the Mortgagor's property (whether taxed to the Mortgagor or to any
noteholder), or the franchises, earnings or business of the Mortgagor, as and
when the same shall become due and payable; and whenever called upon so to do
the Mortgagor will furnish to the Mortgagees or to any noteholder adequate proof
of such payment or discharge.
SECTION 3. The Mortgagor will duly and punctually pay the principal of and
interest on the notes at the dates and places and in the manner provided
therein, according to the true intent and meaning thereof, and all other sums
becoming due hereunder.
-17-
SECTION 4. (a) The Mortgagor will at all times, so long as any of the
notes shall be outstanding, take or cause to be taken all such action as from
time to time may be necessary to preserve its corporate existence and to
preserve and renew all franchises, rights of way, easements, permits and
licenses now or hereafter to it granted or upon it conferred, and will comply
with all valid laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements applicable to it
or its property. The Mortgagor will not, without the approval in writing of the
holder or holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the REA
Notes at the time outstanding (hereinafter called the "majority REA
noteholders") and of the holder or holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Bank Notes at the time outstanding (hereinafter called
the "majority Bank noteholders"), take or suffer to be taken any steps to
reorganize, or to consolidate with or merge into any other corporation, or to
sell, lease or transfer (or make any agreement therefor) the Mortgaged Property,
or any part thereof.
(b) If this subsection is made applicable by the Instruments Recital,
then nothing herein contained shall prevent any such reorganization,
consolidation or merger provided that the lien and security of this Mortgage and
the rights or powers of the Mortgagees and the noteholders hereunder shall not
thereby be impaired or adversely affected, and provided that upon such
reorganization, consolidation or merger, the due and punctual payment of the
principal of and interest on the notes according to their tenor and the due and
punctual performance of all covenants and conditions of this Mortgage shall be
assumed by the corporation formed by such reorganization, consolidation or
merger, and the lien of this Mortgage shall remain a superior lien upon the
property owned by the Mortgagor at the time of such reorganization,
consolidation or merger and upon any improvements or additions to such property,
either prior to or subsequent to such reorganization, consolidation or merger.
(c) The Mortgagor may, however, without obtaining the approval of the
holder or holders of any of the notes at the time outstanding, at any time or
from time to time so long as the Mortgagor is not in default hereunder, sell or
otherwise dispose of, free from the lien hereof, any of its property which is
neither necessary to nor useful for the operation of the Mortgagor's business,
or which has become obsolete, worn out or damaged or otherwise unsuitable for
the purposes of the Mortgagor; provided, however, that the Mortgagor shall: (1)
to the extent necessary, replace the same by, or substitute therefor, other
property of the same kind and nature, which shall be subject to the lien hereof,
free and clear of all prior liens, and apply any proceeds derived from such sale
or other disposition of such property and not needed for the replacement thereof
to the payment of the indebtedness evidenced by the REA Notes and the Bank Notes
in the proportions which the aggregate principal balances then owing on the REA
Notes and the aggregate principal balances then owing on the Bank Notes,
respectively, bear to the aggregate principal balances then owing on the REA
Notes and the Bank Notes, collectively, and shall be applied to such notes and
installments thereof as may be designated by the respective noteholders at the
time of any such receipt; or (2) immediately upon the receipt of the proceeds of
any sale or other disposition of said property, apply the entire amount of such
proceeds to the payment of the indebtedness evidenced by the REA Notes and the
Bank Notes in the proportions and in the manner provided for in (1) above; or
(3) deposit all or such part of the proceeds derived from the sale or other
disposition of said property as the majority REA noteholders and the majority
Bank noteholders shall specify in such
-18-
restricted bank accounts as such holder or holders shall designate, and shall
use the same only for such additions to or improvements of the Mortgaged
Property and on such terms and conditions as such holder or holders shall
specify.
SECTION 5. The Mortgagor will at all times maintain and preserve the
Mortgaged Property in good repair, working order and condition, and will from
time to time make all needful and proper repairs, renewals, and replacements,
and useful and proper alterations, additions, betterments and improvements, and
will, subject to contingencies beyond its reasonable control, at all times keep

agreement reserving to the seller any right, title or lien.

compensation and employer's liability insurance covering all employees of the
Mortgagor, in such amounts as may be required by law, or if the Mortgagor or any
of its employees are not subject to the workmen's compensation laws of the State

compensation policy shall provide voluntary compensation coverage to the same
extent as though the Mortgagor and such employees were subject to such laws; and

property new, less actual depreciation.
The Mortgagor will also, from time to time, increase or supplement the
classes and amounts of insurance specified above to the extent requested by the
Governor or the Administrator or required to conform to the accepted practice of
the telephone industry for companies of the size and character of the Mortgagor.
The Mortgagor will, upon request of the majority REA noteholders or the majority

any portion of the Mortgaged Property which shall be covered by insurance,

or lost portion so that the Mortgaged Property shall be in substantially the
same condition as it was in prior to such damage, destruction or loss, and shall
deposit the proceeds of the insurance in the Special Construction Account
required by the Consolidated Loan Agreement to be applied for that purpose. The
Mortgagor shall replace the loss or shall commence such restoration promptly

applied to the prepayment of the notes, PRO RATA according to the unpaid
principal amounts thereof (such prepayments to be applied to such
installments thereof as may be designated by the respective noteholders at
the time of any such prepayment), or to construct or acquire facilities
approved by the Mortgagees, which will become part of the Mortgaged Property.

means of bond and policy forms approved by regulatory authorities, including
standard REA endorsements and riders used by the insurance industry to provide

shall contain an agreement by the insurer that, notwithstanding any right or
cancellation reserved to such insurer, such policy or contract shall continue in
force for at least ten (10) days after written notice to the Mortgagees of
cancellation.
SECTION 8. In the event of the failure of the Mortgagor in any respect to
comply with the covenants and conditions herein contained with respect to the

arising by reason of such default) to advance or expend moneys for the purpose
of procuring such insurance, or for the payment of insurance premiums, taxes,
assessments or other charges, or to save the Mortgaged Property from sale or
forfeiture for any unpaid tax or assessment, or otherwise, or to redeem the same
from any tax or other sale, or to purchase any tax title thereon, or to remove
or purchase any mechanics' liens or other encumbrance thereon, or to make
repairs thereon or to comply with any other covenant herein contained or to
prosecute or defend any suit in relation to the Mortgaged Property or in any
manner to protect the Mortgaged Property and the title thereto, and all sums so
advanced for any of the aforesaid purposes with interest thereon at the highest
legal rate but not in excess of twelve per centum (12%) per annum shall be
deemed a charge upon the Mortgaged Property in the same manner as the notes at
the time outstanding are secured and shall be forthwith paid to the noteholder
or noteholders making such advance or advances upon demand. It shall not be
obligatory for any noteholder in making any such advances or expenditures to
inquire into the validity of any such tax title, or of any of such taxes or
assessments or sales therefor, or of any such mechanics' liens or other
encumbrance.

approval shall not be required for any toll traffic or operator assistance

from serving the Mortgagor in any other capacity and receiving compensation
therefor.

the Mortgagor will make no advance payments or loans, or in any manner extend

of its directors, trustees, officers, employees, stockholders, members or
affiliated companies, provided, however, the Mortgagor may make an investment
for any purpose described in section 607(c)(2) of the Rural Development Act
of 1972 (including any investment in, or extension of credit, guarantee or
advance made to, an affiliated company of the Mortgagor that is used by such

proper books, records and accounts in which full and true entries will be made

the methods and principles of accounting then prescribed by the state regulatory
body having jurisdiction over the Mortgagor, or in the absence of such

intervals when specified by the majority REA noteholders and the majority Bank
noteholders, financial and statistical reports on its condition and operations.

as of a date (hereinafter called the "Fiscal Date"), and a full and complete
report of its operations of the twelve (12)-month period ended on the Fiscal
Date, all in form and substance satisfactory to the majority REA noteholders and
the majority Bank noteholders, and will cause such reports to be furnished to
each noteholder within 120 days of the Fiscal Date, such reports having been
audited and certified by independent certified public accountants satisfactory

delivered all such further and supplemental indentures of mortgage, deeds of
trust, mortgages, financing statements, continuation statements, security
agreements, instruments and conveyances as may reasonably be requested by the
majority REA noteholders or the majority Bank noteholders and take or cause to
be taken all such further action as may reasonably be requested by the majority
REA noteholders or the majority Bank noteholders to effectuate the intention of
these presents and to provide for the securing and payment of the principal of
and interest on the notes according to the terms thereof and for the purpose of
fully conveying, transferring and confirming unto the Mortgagees the property
hereby conveyed, mortgaged and pledged, or intended so to be, whether now owned
by the Mortgagor or hereafter acquired by it and to reflect the assignment of
the rights or interests of either of the Mortgagees or any and all supplemental
indentures of mortgage, mortgages and deeds of trust and every security
agreement, financing statement, continuation statement and every additional
instrument which shall be recorded and filed and rerecorded and refiled as
conveyances and mortgages and deeds of trust of and security interest in real
and personal property in such manner and in such places as may be required by

of mortgage, mortgages and deeds of trust and the rights and remedies of the
Mortgagees and the noteholders.
(b) In the event that the Mortgagor has had or suffers a
deficit in net income or net margins, as determined in accordance with methods
of accounting prescribed in section 11 of article II hereof, for any of the five
fiscal years immediately preceding the date hereof or for any fiscal year while
any of the notes are outstanding, the Mortgagor will at any time or times upon
written demand of the majority REA noteholders or the majority Bank noteholders,
make, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be made, executed,
acknowledged and delivered all such further and supplemental indentures of
mortgage, mortgages, security agreements, financing statements, instruments and
conveyances, and take or cause to be taken all such further action, as may
reasonably be requested by the majority REA noteholders or the majority Bank
noteholders in order to include in this Mortgage, as Mortgaged Property, and to
subject to all the terms and conditions of this Mortgage, all right, title and
interest of the Mortgagor in and to, all and singular, the automobiles, trucks,
trailers, tractors, aircraft, ships and other vehicles then owned
-23-
by the Mortgagor, or which may thereafter be owned or acquired by the
Mortgagor. From and after the time of such written demand of the majority
REA noteholders or the majority Bank noteholders, such vehicles shall be
deemed to be part of the Mortgaged Property for all purposes hereof.
SECTION 13. Any noteholder may, at any time or times in succession without
notice to or the consent of the Mortgagor or any other noteholder and upon such
terms as such noteholder may prescribe, grant to any person, firm or corporation
who shall have become obligated to pay all or any part of the principal of or

the noteholder for purposes of this Mortgage. Notice of the rights of the
Government under the preceding sentence shall be set forth in all such
insured notes.

TIER of 1.50.
(b) For purposes of this section 21, Average TIER shall

secured by the Mortgage remains unsatisfied and shall mean the average of the
two highest TIER ratios achieved by the Mortgagor during each of the three
calendar years last preceding the various dates of its determination.
(c) As used in this section 21, TIER means the
Mortgagor's net income or net margins (determined in accordance with Exhibit
One hereto) plus interest expense (determined in accordance with Exhibit One
hereto), divided by interest expense.
SECTION 22. (a) Current assets, current liabilities, net worth,
adjusted net worth, adjusted assets, retained earnings, net income or net

with Exhibit One.
(b) Accounting terms used in this Mortgage shall also apply
to accounts or groups of accounts of the Mortgagor, regardless of the account

(b) proceed to protect and enforce the rights of the Mortgagees and
the rights of the noteholder or noteholders under this Mortgage by suits or

granted or for the foreclosure hereof or hereunder or for the sale of the
Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, or to collect the debts hereby
secured or for the enforcement of such other or additional appropriate
legal or equitable remedies as may be deemed most effectual to protect and
enforce the rights and remedies herein granted or conferred, and in the
event of the institution of any such action or suit the noteholder or
noteholders instituting such action or suit shall have the right to have
appointed a receiver of the Mortgaged Property and of all rents, income,
revenues and profits pertaining thereto or arising therefrom derived,
received or had from the time of the commencement of such suit or action,
and such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers,
in like and similar cases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and if
application shall be made for the appointment of a receiver the Mortgagor
hereby expressly consents that the court to which such application shall be
made may make said appointment; and
(c) sell or cause to be sold all and singular the Mortgaged Property
or any part thereof, and all right, title, interest, claim and demand of
