On October 22, 2003, the lenders under the Pegasus Media & Communications, Inc. credit facility gave their consent to enter into a fourth amendment and restatement of the credit agreement by and among PM&C, a subsidiary of Pegasus Satellite Communications, Inc., the lenders, Bank of America Securities LLC, as sole lead arranger, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, in its capacity as the resigning agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders. The fourth amendment and restatement created a new $300 million term loan tranche under the credit facility. The maturity date for the loans made under the new tranche is July 31, 2006.

The fourth amendment also terminated the revolving credit commitments.
