from Citicorp, its successors, and other lenders who from time to time are
parties to the Consent and Agreement (collectively, the "Lenders"). Manager
agrees that notwithstanding the permitted uses of the proceeds of the Loan,
it will not use the proceeds from the Loan or any other loan, extension of
credit or other obligation to which the Consent and Agreement relates, for
any purpose other than to (a) construct and operate the Service Area
Network within the Service Area (as may be amended from time to time) as
contemplated under the Management Agreement, (b) pay the cash portion of
the merger consideration to the Target (as defined in that certain
