assumption made therein not to be reasonable or realistic. The information
contained in the Paging System Activation Certificate is subject to review by
CoBank. If CoBank determines, in its sole discretion, that any information
(including without limitation, projections, forecasts or costs included in the
Paging System Information) lacks a reasonable basis, then CoBank may reject such
information, in which case CoBank shall not make the requested Advance under the
Paging Loan, or CoBank may make adjustments to such information. CoBank shall

information and the reasons therefor.

request in an Advance Request for such System and which the Bank

Group shall be obligated hereunder to advance Bank Funds ("Bank Group Advance
Portion") shall be equal to the lesser of (x) fifty percent (50%) of the amount

Bank System Loan Percentage for a System as set forth on the Table constitutes a
change from the System Committed Loan Amount (or "Committed Loan Amount") and
the Bank System Loan Percentage as previously in effect for a System, and (c) as
a result, (i) the amount of Bank Funds advanced to Borrower for such System
exceeds the System Committed Loan Amount, or (ii) the amount of Guarantor Funds
and/or Subordinated Funds advanced to Borrower exceed that amount which is equal
to the Borrower Committed Loan Amount less the System Committed Loan Amount (the
amount of such excess funding under (i) or (ii) shall be referred to herein as
the "Excess Amount"), then the Person who has advanced funds in excess of their
respective maximum amount shall be paid the Excess Amount, upon five (5)
Business Days' prior written notice, by the Person or Persons whose maximum
amount has not been exceeded. If, as a result of (a) or (b) above, neither the
Bank Group nor Guarantor nor any Subordinated Lending Party has exceeded their
respective maximum amount of funds to be advanced to Borrower for such System,
but the aggregate amount of the advances made by any such party ("Overfunding
Party") has exceeded their respective Advance Portion as set forth in Section
2.8 hereof ("Overfunding Condition"), then, notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2.8 hereof, the portion of each future Underlying Borrower Advance
Request which such Overfunding Party

is required to fund shall be adjusted as appropriate so as to cure such
Overfunding Condition as promptly as possible.

taken action which would, if such action were taken by the Underlying Borrower,
result in a violation of the covenant or covenants substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit
-------

4.5 ("Indirect Default"), then (a) the Syndication Parties shall not be
- ---
obligated to make any further Advances under the System Loan which was used to
fund the Underlying Loan with respect to which the Indirect Default occurred;
(b) Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause the Underlying Borrower to cure
the Indirect Default within 90 days of the date on which Borrower learned of the
Indirect Default; (c) if the Underlying Borrower does not cause the cure of such
Indirect Default within the period set forth in (b), Borrower shall accelerate
the Underlying Loan to such Underlying Borrower, or, where the Underlying Loan
Agreement contemplates advances for more than one System or Contiguous System
and the Indirect Default relates to only one System or Contiguous System,
Borrower shall accelerate the portion of the Underlying Loan relating to the
System or Contiguous System with respect to which such Indirect Default
occurred, and (d) Borrower shall make the mandatory prepayment required pursuant
to Section 7.2.1; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing,
Borrower must prepay all outstanding Advances made to Borrower for the purpose
of funding the Underlying Loan, or portion thereof, with respect to which the
Indirect Default occurred no later than 180 days after the expiration of the
period set forth in (b).

F. DEFAULT BY UNDERLYING BORROWER. If, because of an Underlying Loan
Default, or otherwise, Borrower has no obligation to make advances to an
Underlying Borrower, then (a) the Syndication Parties shall have no obligation
to make Advances to Borrower to fund the Underlying Loan to such Underlying
Borrower; (b) Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause the Underlying
Borrower to cure the Underlying Loan Default within 90 days of the date on which
Borrower learned of the Underlying Loan Default; (c) if the Underlying Borrower
does not cure such Underlying Loan Default within the period set forth in (b),
Borrower shall accelerate the Underlying Loan to such Underlying Borrower, or,
where the Underlying Loan Agreement contemplates advances for more than one
System or Contiguous System and the Underlying Loan Default relates to only one
System or Contiguous System, Borrower shall accelerate the portion of the
Underlying

Loan relating to the System or Contiguous System with respect to which such
Underlying Loan Default occurred, and (d) Borrower shall make the mandatory
prepayment required pursuant to Section 7.2.1; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower must prepay all outstanding Advances
made to Borrower for the purpose of funding the Underlying Loan, or portion
thereof, with respect to which the Underlying Loan Default occurred no later
than 180 days after the expiration of the period set forth in (b).

G. INCREASE IN THE SYSTEM COMMITTED LOAN AMOUNT AND BANK LOAN PERCENTAGE.
Borrower may, upon written application to CoBank, request an increase in the
System Committed Loan Amount and Bank Loan Percentage with respect to a System,
which written application shall set forth the reason for such requested increase
in the System Committed Loan Amount and Bank Loan Percentage with respect to a
System and shall be accompanied by a revised Ten Year Plan for the System. Upon
receipt of such written application, CoBank shall determine, in its sole
discretion, whether to increase the System Committed Loan Amount and the Bank
Loan Percentage utilizing generally the criteria followed by CoBank in
determining such amounts originally.

VI. INTEREST AND FEES

A. INTEREST CALCULATION. Interest shall be calculated on the actual
number of days each Advance is outstanding on the basis of a year consisting of
360 days. In calculating interest, the Advance Date shall be included and the
date each Advance is repaid shall be excluded.

1. VARIABLE RATE OPTION. Unless Borrower requests and receives a
Fixed Rate Loan pursuant to Subsection 5.1.2, the outstanding principal balance
under the Promissory Notes shall bear interest at the Variable Rate ("Variable
Rate Loans").

2. FIXED RATE OPTION. From time to time, and so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, at the

request of Borrower ("Fixed Rate Request"), all or any part of the outstanding
principal balance under the Promissory Notes may bear interest at the Fixed Rate
("Fixed Rate Loans"), provided however that at least fifty percent (50%) of the
outstanding principal balance under the Promissory Notes must bear interest at
the Fixed Rate through and including September 30, 1996 ("Fixed Rate
Requirement"). The Fixed Rate Request may be made to CoBank orally or in writing
on any Business Day (provided that if such request is made orally, Borrower must
furnish written confirmation of such request within one (1) Business Day) and is
effective as of the third Business Day after the Fixed Rate Request is received
if received by CoBank no later than 12 noon Mountain Time or as of the fourth
Business Day if received later than 12 noon Mountain Time. The Fixed Rate
Request must specify the principal amount that is to bear interest at the Fixed
Rate and the Fixed Rate Period selected by Borrower. Following the expiration of
the Fixed Rate Period for any Fixed Rate Loan, interest shall automatically
accrue at the Variable Rate unless Borrower requests and receives another Fixed
Rate Loan as provided in this Subsection 5.1.2.

3. INTEREST RATE MARGIN. The applicable Variable Margin and Fixed
Margin shall be determined for each succeeding Quarter based on the ratio of
Consolidated Funded Debt to Financed Proportionate Operating Cash Flow
("CFD/FPOCF") for the most recently completed four Quarters as follows:

CTD/FPOCF VARIABLE MARGIN FIXED MARGIN

above 8.0X 100 250

8.0 and below, but
above 6.5X 75 225

6.5 and below, but
above 5.0X 50 200

5.0 and below, but

above 3.5X 25 175

3.5X or below 0 150

4. DEFAULT INTEREST RATE. All past due payments of any Bank Debt
(whether as a result of nonpayment by Borrower when due, at maturity, or upon
acceleration) shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate from and after
the due date for the payment, or on the date of maturity or acceleration, as the
case may be. If there shall occur an Event of Default or Potential Default, at
the option of CoBank, interest shall be payable upon demand by CoBank, and in no
event less frequently than monthly.

B. LOAN FEE. Borrower shall pay CoBank a loan fee of 50 basis points per
annum (based on a 360 day year) on the unborrowed amount of the Aggregate
Commitment ("Loan Fee") until the Termination Date. The Loan Fee will be
computed by CoBank daily and shall be payable quarterly in arrears no later than
fifteen days after the end of each Quarter.

C. ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION FEE. Borrower shall pay CoBank an annual
administration fee of $75,000.00 at Closing and on each anniversary thereof.

D. AMENDMENT FEE. Borrower shall pay CoBank an amendment fee at Closing

Share of CoBank multiplied by the Aggregate Commitment or (ii) $110,000,000.

E. AGENT FEE. Borrower shall pay an agent fee of $100,000.00, payable in
two equal installments, with the first installment of $50,000.00 having been
received by CoBank on April 17, 1995, and the second installment of $50,000.00
due and payable at Closing.

F. FACILITY FEE. Borrower shall pay CoBank at Closing a facility fee
("Facility Fee") of $425,000.00.

VII. PAYMENTS

A. PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS. Principal shall be repaid in quarterly payments
due fifteen days after the end of each Quarter ("Amortized Payments") beginning
on April 15, 1997 based on the following principal reductions for Quarters
ending in the year indicated (calculated on the basis of the principal owing on
the Termination Date), with payment in full due no later than January 15, 2001
("Maturity Date"):

Year Payment per Quarter
---- -------------------

1997 3.75% per Quarter
1998 5.00% per Quarter
1999 7.50% per Quarter
2000 8.75% per Quarter

B. INTEREST PAYMENTS. Interest on Variable Rate Loans shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on the fifteenth day following the end of each Quarter.
Interest on Fixed Rate Loans shall be payable in arrears upon the maturity of
the applicable Fixed Rate Period, but no less frequently than the fifteenth day
following the end of each Quarter.

C. APPLICATION OF AMORTIZED PAYMENTS. Provided no Event of Default or
Potential Default has occurred, Borrower shall have the right to designate
whether an Amortized Payment is to be applied to a Variable Rate Loan or Fixed
Rate Loan and, if to a Fixed Rate Loan, to designate which Fixed Rate Loan or
Loans. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Potential Default, all
amounts paid to CoBank, as Agent Bank, including Amortized Payments, shall be
applied, as CoBank in its sole discretion shall determine, to fees, the purchase
of Certificates, interest or principal indebtedness under the Promissory Notes
(in such order of maturity as CoBank shall select), or to any other Bank Debt.
All Advances and other Bank Debt, and all payments by or on behalf of Borrower,
of such amounts, shall be entered on the books of CoBank and such entries shall
be presumptive evidence of

the unpaid amounts outstanding from time to time under the Promissory Notes and
other Loan Documents.

D. MANNER OF PAYMENT. All payments, including prepayments, that Borrower
is required to make under the terms of this Agreement shall be made to CoBank,
as Agent Bank, (a) in immediately available federal funds, to be received no
later than 12:00 noon Mountain Time of the Business Day on which such payment is
due; and (b) without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without
deduction for any taxes, levies, impost, duties, charges, fees, deductions,
withholding, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or
hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision
thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless Borrower is compelled by law
to make such deduction or withholding. Borrower will deliver promptly to the
Syndication Parties certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other
charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by Borrower
hereunder.

VIII. PREPAYMENTS

A. VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS. Borrower shall have the option to make the
following prepayments:

1. VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT OF VARIABLE RATE LOAN. Borrower shall have
the right to prepay all or any part of the outstanding principal balance under
the Variable Rate Loans upon three (3) Business Days' prior written notice to
CoBank. Any written notice by Borrower of its election to prepay under this
Subsection 7.1.1 shall be irrevocable.

2. VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT OF FIXED RATE LOANS. Borrower shall have the
right to prepay all or any part of the outstanding principal balance of any
Fixed Rate Loan, provided that (a) Bor rower shall, at least ten (10) Business
Days prior to making any such prepayment, deliver to CoBank a written notice
which sets forth the amount of the prepayment, the date on which the prepayment
will be made, and the Fixed Rate Loan (or portion

thereof) being prepaid, (b) Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest
relating to the amount prepaid through the date of prepayment, and (c) on the
prepayment date, Borrower shall pay the Funding Losses, if any, resulting from
the prepayment. Any written notice by Borrower of its election to prepay under
this Subsection 7.1.2 shall be irrevocable.

3. FUNDING LOSSES. In determining the "Funding Losses" for the
purposes of this Agreement, CoBank shall select, in its sole discretion, a
security or securities of a type which CoBank is permitted by law to purchase at
the date of the prepayment calculation. The selected security or securities
shall have payment dates which approximate the scheduled principal and interest
payments for the Fixed Rate Loan (or portion thereof) being prepaid. If the
Fixed Rate Loan being prepaid is to be repaid in two or more payments, a
different security may be selected for each payment date. CoBank will then
compare the net present value of the interest which could be expected to be paid
on the Fixed Rate Loan (or portion thereof) being prepaid and of the yield which
could be expected on the selected security for a comparable period. If the net
present value of the yield on the Fixed Rate Loan (or portion thereof) being
prepaid exceeds the net present value of the yield on the selected security, the
excess is the "Funding Loss." Net present value shall be determined as follows:
(a) with respect to the interest on the Fixed Rate Loan (or portion thereof)
being prepaid, the scheduled interest payments shall be discounted from the
expiration of the applicable Fixed Rate Period back to the date of prepayment
using as a discount rate the applicable Fixed Rate, and (b) with respect to the
selected security, the scheduled payments of the current yields on such selected
security shall be discounted back for a period comparable to the period for
which scheduled interest payments are discounted in the preceding sentence,
using as a discount rate the current yield on the selected security. The
calculation of "yield" on the selected security shall include interest payments,
any premium or discount associated with the

purchase of the selected security, any fees or administrative costs associated
with the purchase, holding and sale of the selected security, CoBank's tax rate
and any reserves which CoBank may be required by law to maintain with respect to
the selected security (provided that such fees, administrative costs, tax rate
and reserves shall not in the aggregate exceed one percent (1%) of the principal
amount being prepaid). In the event of acceleration of the Promissory Notes as
provided in Section 15.1, the date of acceleration shall be treated as the date
of prepayment for the purpose of determining the Funding Loss under this
Subsection. Funding Losses shall be calculated as provided above without
consideration of the amount of such losses actually incurred by CoBank or any
other Syndication Party.

B. MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS. Borrower shall be required to make the
following prepayments:

1. UNDERLYING BORROWER PREPAYMENTS. Borrower shall be obligated to
prepay the outstanding principal balance under the Promissory Notes in an amount
equal to the amount of any prepayment received by Borrower under any Underlying
Loan (including without limitation any payment made on account of acceleration
of any Underlying Loan) within five (5) Business Days of Borrower's receipt of
any such prepayment from an Underlying Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
with respect to a System Loan only Borrower shall have the right to retain that
percentage of any prepayment received by Borrower under an Underlying Loan
relating to a System equal to 100 minus the Bank System Loan Percentage for that
System. Borrower shall have the right to use funds so retained to make
principal payments to Guarantor or Subordinated Lending Parties on indebtedness
for Subordinated Funds, provided that Borrower shall satisfy the test for such
principal payment pursuant to Section 13.6(b).

2. PREPAYMENT ON ACCOUNT OF FINANCIAL COVENANTS. When a breach of
the financial covenants set forth in Section 12.13 of this Agreement exists,
CoBank shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require Borrower to
prepay the outstanding principal balance under the Promissory Notes in such
amount as is

necessary in order to remedy such breach of the financial covenants set forth in
Section 12.13 of this Agreement. Any such prepayment shall be made by Borrower
immediately upon receipt of written demand by CoBank. The failure of CoBank to
require such prepayment does constitute a waiver of an Event of Default based
upon such breach of the financial covenants.

3. PREPAYMENT ON ACCOUNT OF COMMITMENT AMOUNTS. When a breach of
Section 2.1 of this Agreement exists, CoBank shall have the right to require
Borrower to prepay the outstanding principal balance under the Promissory Notes
in such amount as is necessary in order to remedy such breach of Section 2.1 of
this Agreement. Any such prepayment shall be made by Borrower immediately upon
receipt of written demand by CoBank.

4. PREPAYMENT UPON TERMINATION OF OBLIGATION TO ADVANCE BANK FUNDS.
Upon an Underlying Loan Default, CoBank may require Borrower to make certain
prepayments at such time and in such manner as is set forth in Sections 4.5,
4.6, 12.14 and 12.15 of this Agreement.

C. PAYMENT OF ACCRUED INTEREST AND FUNDING LOSSES ON ANY MANDATORY
PREPAYMENTS. Any prepayment of all or part of a Fixed Rate Loan resulting from
a prepayment under Section 7.2 shall be accompanied by payment by Borrower of
(a) all unpaid and accrued interest relating to the amount of the Fixed Rate
Loan prepaid through the date of prepayment, and (b) any Funding Losses
resulting from prepayment of the Fixed Rate Loan, which payment shall be due no
later than five (5) Business Days after Borrower's receipt of an invoice from
CoBank.

D. MINIMUM PREPAYMENT AMOUNT. Voluntary prepayments and mandatory
prepayments, as permitted or required under this Agreement, must be in amounts
no less than $1,000,000 ("Minimum Payment Amount"), provided that (a) such
Minimum Payment Amount shall not apply to mandatory prepayments required under
Subsections 7.2.2 and 7.2.3 of this Agreement, and (b) mandatory prepayments
must be made no less frequently than the fifteenth

day following the end of each Quarter, even if they are less than the Minimum
Payment Amount. Any mandatory prepayment received by CoBank will be applied to
the principal portion of the Amortized Payments required with respect to such
Quarter. Mandatory prepayments received in one Quarter may not be applied to
Amortized Payments required during any other Quarter. Voluntary prepayments, as
well as mandatory prepayments not applied to Amortized Payments (as provided
above), shall be applied to discharge principal amounts in the inverse order in
which the principal would otherwise become due.

E. APPLICATION OF PREPAYMENTS. Provided no Event of Default or Potential
Default has occurred, Borrower shall have the right to designate whether a
prepayment of principal is to be applied to a Variable Rate Loan or Fixed Rate
Loan. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Potential Default, Borrower
hereby agrees that all amounts paid to CoBank, including prepayments as
described in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of this Agreement shall be applied, as CoBank
in its sole discretion shall determine, to fees, the purchase of Certificates,
interest or principal indebtedness under the Promissory Notes (in such order of
maturity as CoBank shall select), or to any other Bank Debt.

IX. COBANK EQUITY

Borrower agrees to purchase such non-voting equity interests in CoBank
represented by participation certificates of CoBank ("Certificates") as CoBank
may from time to time require in accordance with its bylaws and capital plan;
provided, however, that the outstanding principal balance on which such
Certificate purchase obligation shall be based is the outstanding principal
balance under the Promissory Note executed by Borrower payable to the order of
CoBank and shall not include the outstanding principal balance under any
Promissory Note executed by Borrower payable to the order of any Syndication
Party other than CoBank. In connection with the foregoing, Borrower hereby
acknowledges receipt, prior to the execution of this Agreement, of CoBank's
bylaws, a written description of the terms and conditions under which the
Certificates are issued, CoBank's Loan-Based Capital Plan, CoBank's most recent
annual report, and if more recent than CoBank's latest annual report, its latest
quarterly report.

X. SECURITY

A. BORROWER'S ASSETS. As security for the payment and performance of all
obligations of Borrower to CoBank and the other Syndication Parties under the
Loan Documents, including but not limited to principal, interest, Certificate
purchases, fees, Funding Losses, reimbursements, and all other Bank Debt or
obligations under any of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall grant to, and
maintain for, CoBank, for its own benefit and, in its role as Agent Bank, for
the benefit of the present and future Syndication Parties, a first lien and
security interest in all of its assets, both real and personal, tangible and
intangible, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including without
limitation the Underlying Loan Documents (the "Collateral"). Borrower shall

interest of CoBank, for its own benefit and, in its role as Agent Bank, for the
benefit of the present and future Syndication Parties, in the Collateral,
together with such financing statements or other documents as CoBank shall
request. Borrower shall also execute such further security agreements,
mortgages, deeds of trust, financing statements, assignments or other documents
as CoBank shall reasonably request, in form and substance as CoBank shall
specify, to establish, confirm, perfect or provide notice of CoBank's (for its
own benefit and, in its role as Agent Bank, for the benefit of the present and
future Syndication Parties) security interest in the Collateral. If requested
by CoBank, Borrower and CoBank shall place a legend on chattel paper showing
CoBank's security interest therein.

B. GUARANTY. In addition to the first lien and security interest in all
of Borrower's assets, Borrower's obligations under this Agreement and all other
Loan Documents shall be guaranteed by Guarantor pursuant to the Guaranty and the
Guaranty shall be secured pursuant to the Guarantor Security Agreement.

acknowledges and agrees that the fees charged by Guarantor for the services
provided under the Management Agreements do not violate this Section.

XV. INDEMNIFICATION

A. GENERAL. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold CoBank and its
directors, officers, employees, agents, professional advisers and
representatives and all other Syndication Parties and their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents, professional advisors and
representatives ("Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against any and all
claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses whatsoever which CoBank
or any Indemnified Party may incur (or which may be claimed against any such
Indemnified Party by any Person), including attorneys' fees incurred by any
Indemnified Party, arising out of or resulting from (a) the inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty of Borrower or Guarantor in this Agreement or the
Guaranty, (b) the failure of Borrower or Guarantor to perform or comply with any
covenant or obligation of Borrower or Guarantor under this Agreement or the
Guaranty, or (c) the exercise by CoBank, for its own benefit and, in its role as
Agent Bank, for the benefit of the present and future Syndication Parties, of
any right or remedy set forth in this Agreement or the Guaranty, provided that
Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party against
claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent that a
court of competent jurisdiction renders a final non-appealable determination
that the foregoing are solely the result of the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of such Indemnified Party. The obligation to indemnify set forth in
this Section 14.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and other
covenants.

B. INDEMNIFICATION RELATING TO HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Borrower shall not
locate, produce, treat, transport, incorporate, discharge, emit, release,
deposit or dispose of any Hazardous Substance in, upon, under, over or from any
property owned or held by Borrower, except in accordance with all Environmental
Regulations; Borrower shall not permit any Hazardous Substance to be located,
produced, treated, transported, incorporated, discharged, emitted, released,
deposited, disposed of or to escape in, upon, under, over or from any property
owned or held by Borrower or any Underlying Borrower, except in accordance with
Environmental Regulations;

and Borrower shall comply with, and shall cause all Underlying Borrowers to
comply with, all Environmental Regulations which are applicable to such
property. If CoBank reasonably believes that an Environmental Regulation has
been violated by Borrower's activities upon property owned or held by Borrower
or any Underlying Borrower, and if CoBank so requests, Borrower shall have
prepared an environmental review, audit, assessment and/or report relating to
the subject property, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, by an engineer or
scientist acceptable to CoBank. If, however, the environmental review, audit,
assessment and/or report reveals that no Environmental Regulation has been
violated, CoBank shall reimburse Borrower for the costs and expenses of such
engineer or scientist in completing such audit or report. Borrower shall
indemnify the Indemnified Parties against, and shall reimburse the Indemnified
Parties for, any and all claims, demands, judgments, penalties, liabilities,
costs, damages and expenses, including court costs and attorneys' fees incurred
by the Indemnified Parties (prior to trial, at trial and on appeal) in any
action against or involving the Indemnified Parties, resulting from any breach
of the foregoing covenants, or from the discovery of any Hazardous Substance in,
upon, under or over, or emanating from, such property, it being the intent of
Borrower and the Indemnified Parties that the Indemnified Parties shall have no
liability or responsibility for damage or injury to human health, the
environmental or natural resources caused by, for abatement and/or clean-up of,
or otherwise with respect to, Hazardous Substances by virtue of the interest of
CoBank or any other Syndication Party in the property created by any documents
securing Bank Debt (including without limitation the Loan Documents) or as the
result of CoBank, for its own benefit and, in its role as Agent Bank, for the
benefit of the present and future Syndication Parties, exercising any of its
rights or remedies with respect thereto, including but not limited to becoming
the owner thereof by foreclosure or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure. The
foregoing covenants of this Section 14.2 shall be deemed continuing covenants
for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties, and any successors and assigns of
the Indemnified Parties, including but not limited to the holder of

any certificate of purchase, any transferee of the title of CoBank, for its own
benefit and, in its role as Agent Bank, for the benefit of the present and
future Syndication Parties, or any subsequent owner of the property, and shall
survive the satisfaction or release of any lien, any foreclosure of any lien
and/or any acquisition of title to the property or any part thereof by CoBank,
including in its role as Agent Bank, or Borrower, or anyone claiming by, through
or under CoBank or Borrower by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Any
amounts covered by the foregoing indemnification shall bear interest from the
date incurred at the Default Interest Rate, shall be payable on demand, and
shall be secured by the Security Agreement. The indemnification and covenants of
this Section 14.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and other
covenants.

XVI. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

A. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following events (each
an "Event of Default") shall terminate any obligation on the part of CoBank or
the other Syndication Parties to make Advances and, at the option of CoBank, as

(provided, that in the case of an Event of Default under Section 15.1(i) all
Advances and any other amount owing under the Loan Documents shall automatically
and immediately become due and payable without any action by or on behalf of
CoBank), and CoBank, as Agent Bank, may exercise all rights and remedies for the
collection of any amounts outstanding hereunder and take whatever action it
deems necessary to secure itself, all without notice of default, presentment or
demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor, or other

of a trustee or receiver for any part of their respective properties; any
bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement, dissolution or liquidation
proceeding is commenced or consented to by Borrower or Guarantor; or any
application for appointment of a receiver or a trustee, or any proceeding for
bankruptcy, reorganization, debt management or liquidation is filed for or
commenced against Borrower or Guarantor, and is not withdrawn or dismissed
within sixty days thereafter, provided, however, that within said sixty day
period CoBank and the other Syndication Parties shall have no obligation to make

in Article 11 of the Indenture, if such redemption would constitute a breach of
Guarantor's covenants contained in Section 8(f) of the Guaranty.

(13) Any of the Notes become or are declared due and payable prior to
the date on which they otherwise would have become due and payable because of a
default under the Indenture.

Syndication Parties, by law or equity, shall be cumulative. Failure or delay on
the part of CoBank, for its own benefit and in its role as Agent Bank, for the

remedy shall not preclude any future exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right or remedy.

expressly entitled to, rely on all Borrower's

representations, warranties, and covenants contained herein and in any of the
Loan Documents in determining whether to become Syndication Parties and
evaluating Borrower's compliance with this Agreement from time to time, as
though, and with the same effect as if, such representations, warranties, and

Successor Agent Bank shall be entitled to exercise all the Agent Bank Rights
hereunder, and that Borrower will perform all its obligations hereunder with
respect to the Agent Bank Rights as it may be directed by such Successor Agent
Bank and will send all reports and notices, and remit all payments, required
hereunder to such Successor Agent Bank.

XIX. MISCELLANEOUS

shall be deemed personal service and acceptance by Borrower for all purposes of
such litigation.

exhibits hereto, which are incorporated herein by this reference) and the other
Loan Documents represent the entire understanding of CoBank and Borrower with
respect to the subject matter hereof and shall replace and supersede any
previous agreements of the parties. This Agreement amends and restates the Loan
Agreement for RSAs and the Loan Agreement for MSAs and is not intended as, and
shall not be deemed to create, a novation or discharge of the underlying
indebtedness evidenced thereby.

H. APPLICABLE LAW. To the extent not governed by federal law, this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the rights and obligations of the

with the internal laws of the State of Colorado, without giving effect to any

requested by Borrower.

K. ADDITIONAL COSTS. Borrower shall pay to Agent Bank from time to time
such amounts as Agent Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate any
Syndication Party for any costs incurred by it which Agent Bank determines,
based on information presented to it by such Syndication Party, are attributable
to such Syndication Party's making or maintaining any Advances hereunder or its

by such Syndication Party under this Agreement or the Promissory Note payable to
it in respect to any such Advances or such obligation (such increases in costs
and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "Additional Costs"),
resulting from any change after the date of this Agreement in United States

directives, or requirements applying to a class of banks including such
Syndication Party of or under any United States federal, state, municipal, or
foreign laws or regulations (whether or not having the force of law) by any
court or governmental or monetary authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof ("Regulatory Change"), which: (a) changes the basis of
taxation of any amounts payable to such Syndication Party under this Agreement
or the Promissory Note payable to such Syndication Party in respect of any of
such Advances (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of

such Syndication Party); or (b) imposes or modifies any reserve, special
deposit, or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other
assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Syndication Party;
or (c) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or the Promissory
Note payable to such Syndication Party (or any of such extensions of credit or
liabilities). Agent Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the
date of this Agreement which will entitle such Syndication Party to compensation
pursuant to this Section 18.11 as promptly as practicable after it obtains
knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation. Determinations by
Agent Bank for purposes of this Section 18.11 of the effect of any Regulatory
Change on the costs of such Syndication Party of making or maintaining Advances
or on amounts receivable by such Syndication Party in respect of Advances, and
of the additional amounts required to compensate such Syndication Party in
respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive, provided that such
determinations are made on a reasonable basis. Notwithstanding any of the
foregoing provisions of this Section 18.11 if, within ninety (90) days after
being given such notice, Borrower pays off all amounts owing to the Syndication
Party(s) with respect to which Agent Bank has sent Borrower notice that Borrower
is liable for Additional Costs, Borrower shall have no obligation to make any
payment of such Additional Costs as to such Syndication Party(s); provided,
however, Borrower shall be liable for any Funding Losses on account of such
prepayment.

L. CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. In the event that the introduction of or any
change in (a) any law or regulation, or (b) the judicial, administrative, or
other governmental interpretation of any law or regulation, or (c) compliance by
any Syndication Party or any corporation controlling any such Syndication Party
with any guideline or request from any governmental authority (whether or not
having the force of law) has the effect of requiring an increase in the amount
of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Syndication Party or
any corporation controlling such Syndication Party, and Agent Bank determines
that such increase is based in any part upon such

Syndication Party's obligations hereunder, and other similar obligations,
Borrower shall pay to such Syndication Party such additional amount as shall be
certified by such Syndication Party to Agent Bank and to Borrower to be the net
present value (discounted at the Base Rate) of (a) the amount by which such
increase in capital reduces the rate of return on capital which such Syndication
Party could have achieved over the period remaining until the Maturity Date but
for such introduction or change, (b) multiplied by such Syndication Party's Pro
Rata Share of the Aggregate Commitment; provided that if Borrower pays off all
amounts owing to such Syndication Party within ninety (90) days after being
given notice to pay, Borrower shall have no obligation to make any payment under
this Section 18.12 provided further that Borrower shall be liable for any
Funding Losses on account of such prepayment. Agent Bank will notify Borrower of
any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle any such
Syndication Party to compensation pursuant to this Section 18.12 as promptly as
practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such
compensation. Determinations by Agent Bank and any Syndication Party for
purposes of this Section 18.12 of the effect of any increase in the amount of
capital required to be maintained by any such Syndication Party and of the
amount of compensation owed to any such Syndication Party under this Section
18.12 shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a
reasonable basis.

M. MUTUAL RELEASE. Upon full indefeasible payment and satisfaction of the
Bank Debt and Promissory Notes and the other obligations contained in this
Agreement, the parties, including Borrower, Agent Bank, and all Syndication
Parties, shall, except as provided in Article 14 hereof, thereupon automatically
each be fully, finally, and forever released and discharged from any further
claim, liability, or obligation in connection with the Bank Debt.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date
