Note 1.  Basis of Presentation.

      As used in these condensed consolidated financial statements, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and “Nextel International,” refer to Nextel International, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries. Nextel International is an indirect, substantially wholly owned subsidiary of Nextel Communications, Inc. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to Nextel Communications refer to Nextel Communications, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

      Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for interim periods. All adjustments made were normal recurring accruals.

      You should read the condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. You should not expect results of operations of interim periods to be an indication of the results for a full year.

      Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents. Some of our subsidiaries held cash and cash equivalents of $10.5 million as of June 30, 2000 and $6.2 million as of December 31, 1999, that were not available to fund any of the cash needs of Nextel International, Inc. or any of our other subsidiaries due to restrictions contained in some of our debt agreements.

      New Accounting Pronouncements. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which, as amended by SFAS No. 138 in June 2000, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including some derivatives embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities by requiring that all derivatives be recognized on the balance sheet and measured at fair value. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, “Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 — an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,” which deferred the effective date for us until January 1, 2001. We are in the process of evaluating the potential impact of this statement on our financial position and results of operations.

      In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. The guidelines in SAB No. 101 must be adopted by the fourth quarter of 2000. Based on our current assessment and guidance provided to date by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we do not believe that SAB No. 101 will have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

      In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25,” which clarifies the application of APB Opinion No. 25 for certain issues including: (1) the definition of an employee for purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 25, (2) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (3) the accounting consequences of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award and (4) the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. Interpretation No. 44 is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions cover specific events that occur either after December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance on July 1, 2000 will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

      In May 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-14, “Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives,” which addresses the recognition, measurement and income classification for sales incentives offered voluntarily by vendors, without cost to consumers, as a result of a single exchange transaction. We are required to and will adopt EITF Issue No. 00-14 in the fourth quarter of 2000. We are in the process of evaluating the potential impact of this consensus on our financial position and results of operations.

      Reclassifications. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to our current year presentation.

Note 2.  Significant Transactions and Developments.

      Increase in Ownership Interest in NEXNET. In March 2000, as a consequence of capital contributions made to our Japanese affiliate, NEXNET Co., Ltd., by some of its stockholders to supply funds that a

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

stockholder was required but declined to contribute, the stockholder transferred a portion of its shares to the contributing stockholders, including us. On March 30, 2000, we purchased additional shares for about $0.4 million in cash and were granted an option, exercisable at any time prior to March 31, 2001, to purchase any or all of the remaining shares of NEXNET stock owned by the same stockholder. As a result of these share acquisitions, our equity ownership interest in NEXNET has increased from about 21% to about 32%. If we exercise the option, our equity ownership interest would increase to about 44%.

      Purchase of Common Equity Shares in Companies in Brazil, Peru and Chile. In May 2000, we purchased another stockholder’s interest in Nextel del Peru, S.A., referred to as Nextel Peru, for about $2.8 million in cash and increased our ownership from about 63% to about 69%.

      Also in May 2000, we purchased all of the equity interests of Motorola International Development Corporation, referred to as Motorola International, in Nextel Peru, which increased our ownership from about 69% to 100%. At the same time, we purchased all of Motorola International’s equity interests in our Brazilian operations, which increased our effective ownership in our Brazilian operations from about 88% to about 92%. In August 2000, we purchased the remaining 8% from the remaining minority stockholders, as described in Note 4, increasing our ownership interest in McCaw International (Brazil), Ltd., referred to as McCaw Brazil, to 100%. In May 2000, we also purchased all of Motorola International’s equity interests in three Chilean analog specialized mobile radio, referred to as SMR, companies, which were wholly owned by Motorola International. We have entered into an agreement with Motorola International to manage these three Chilean SMR companies during a transition period. The aggregate purchase price paid to Motorola International for these acquisitions in Brazil, Peru and Chile was about $77.7 million in cash.

      Shanghai, Peoples Republic of China Negotiations. As a result of recent changes to the regulatory environment in China, Shanghai CCT-McCaw Telecommunications Systems Co., Ltd., a joint venture in which we own a 30% interest, referred to as Shanghai CCT McCaw, terminated an agreement with China United Telecommunications Corporation, referred to as Unicom, under which we had the right to share in the profits of the cellular network in Shanghai, referred to as the Shanghai GSM System. In consideration for entering into this termination agreement, Shanghai CCT McCaw received about $61.3 million in cash, and we received warrants to purchase shares of Unicom stock. The warrants are exercisable for about 8.2 million shares during the period commencing in December 2000 and ending in June 2001 at the initial public offering price of HK$15.58 or US$2.00 per share. In May 2000, we received a reimbursement of $7.5 million for advances we previously made to Shanghai CCT McCaw. We are currently working with the other stockholders of the joint venture to arrange for the reimbursement of expenses incurred by the stockholders related to their investment in Shanghai CCT McCaw and the sale of our interests in the joint venture. Any funds remaining after payment of these expenses and satisfaction of other existing obligations will be distributed among the stockholders of Shanghai CCT McCaw. We would be entitled to receive 30% of the total amount distributed based on our ownership interest. The carrying value of our investment in Shanghai CCT McCaw was about $7.3 million as of June 30, 2000, which we expect to fully recover based on the terms of the agreement. This investment is included in the prepaid expenses and other caption in the accompanying balance sheet as of June 30, 2000.

      Additional Capital. On April 4, 2000, we received an advance of $77.7 million from a wholly owned subsidiary of Nextel Communications in connection with the anticipated purchase of Motorola International’s equity interest in Nextel Telecomunições Ltda., referred to as Nextel Brazil, Nextel Peru and three Chilean companies as discussed above. On June 2, 2000, we issued 777 shares of our series A exchangeable redeemable preferred stock to a wholly owned subsidiary of Nextel Communications as repayment of this intercompany advance. Additionally, on April 7, 2000, we issued 1,500 shares of our series A exchangeable redeemable preferred stock to a wholly owned subsidiary of Nextel Communications in exchange for cash proceeds of $150.0 million. On June 12, 2000, all of the shares of series A exchangeable redeemable preferred

stock outstanding at that time, including the accretion to liquidation preference value of $61.3 million, were exchanged for our common stock. On June 29, 2000, we issued 2,150 shares of our series A exchangeable redeemable preferred stock to a wholly owned subsidiary of Nextel Communications in exchange for cash proceeds of $215.0 million.

On June 2, 2000, our board of directors approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 73,000,000 to 200,000,000, enabling us to complete a 4-for-1 common stock split, which was effective June 20, 2000. Information presented throughout these financial statements and related notes has been adjusted to reflect this 4-for-1 common stock split.

      International Motorola Incremental Facility. On December 16, 1999, we entered into an agreement with Motorola Credit Corporation under which Motorola Credit committed to provide up to $56.6 million in incremental term loans to us to acquire infrastructure equipment and related services from Motorola. Loans under this facility mature December 31, 2001 and bear interest payable semi annually at variable rates based upon either the U.S. prime rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate, referred to as LIBOR. Loans under this facility are secured by a pledge of all of our shares of stock of Clearnet Communications, Inc, a publicly traded Canadian wireless communications company. On January 6, 2000, we borrowed the full $56.6 million available under this facility.

      Credit Facility Amendments. In December 1999, Nextel Argentina S.R.L., referred to as Nextel Argentina, and the lenders under the $100.0 million secured credit facility, referred to as the Argentina Credit Facility, amended the facility to modify several financial covenants applicable to the fourth quarter of 1999 and the first quarter of 2000. As contemplated in December 1999, on June 20, 2000, in conformity with our 2000 operating plan, Nextel Argentina and the lenders under the Argentina Credit Facility amended the facility to modify several financial covenants. As a condition to the effectiveness of those amendments, we amended the capital subscription agreement under which we contributed equity of $84.1 million to Nextel Argentina during 1999 and are now required to contribute equity of $134.5 million during 2000, $110.0 million during 2001 and $117.0 million during 2002, all subject to adjustment in case of certain events. As of June 30, 2000, Nextel Argentina had borrowed the entire $100.0 million available under the Argentina Credit Facility. Nextel Argentina is in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the facility, as amended.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

      Also in the second quarter of 2000, we amended and restated the $125.0 million equipment financing agreement between McCaw Brazil (International), Ltd., referred to as McCaw Brazil, and Motorola Credit Corporation to effect certain administrative changes.

Note 4.  Contingencies.

      McCaw Brazil Ownership. We entered into a purchase, release and settlement agreement dated as of July 21, 2000 with the Founders Group, who collectively were the minority stockholders in McCaw Brazil, which indirectly owns 100% of Nextel Brazil. Under that agreement, on August 4, 2000, we (1) made a cash payment to members of the Founders Group totaling $146.0 million, (2) received all of the equity interests held by the Founders Group in McCaw Brazil and (3) exchanged mutual releases with all of the members of the Founders Group. In addition, all pending court disputes between us and Telcom Ventures, a member of the Founders Group, have been permanently dismissed. For a description of these disputes, see Notes 2 and 9 in our 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As a result, all rights of the Founders Group as minority stockholders in McCaw Brazil, including their rights to put their equity interests to us beginning in October 2001, have terminated. We will account for this additional investment in McCaw Brazil using the purchase method.

      See also Part II, Item 1. “Legal Proceedings” for discussion of other legal matters.

Note 5.  Segment Reporting.

      We operate in four reportable segments 1) Brazil, 2) Mexico, 3) Argentina and 4) Peru. The operations of all other businesses that fall below the reporting thresholds are included in the “Corporate and Other” segment below, which include the three Chilean analog SMR companies purchased in May 2000 and corporate entities which hold equity investments in the Philippines and Japan.

      Our segments reflect our geographic focus and are defined as separately reportable operating segments immediately after we obtain a controlling interest in the entity. We evaluate performance of these segments and allocate resources to them based on losses before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other non-recurring charges, referred to as segment losses. Intercompany eliminations have been included in Corporate and Other.

Post Second Quarter Transactions and Developments,” on August 1, 2000, we completed the issuance and sale in a private placement of an aggregate of $650.0 million in principal amount of our 12.75% senior serial notes due 2010, generating about $623.8 million in net cash proceeds.

      Nextel Philippines.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

A.  Overview.

      The following discussion of our condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the six-and three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, and significant factors that could affect our prospective financial condition and results of operations, should be read in conjunction with our 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

      We provide integrated digital wireless communications services targeted at meeting the needs of business customers in selected international markets. Our principal operations are in Latin American markets in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Peru. We have recently expanded our wireless footprint in Latin America by purchasing SMR companies formerly owned by Motorola International with SMR licenses in Chile. We are also equity participants in wireless communications providers in the Philippines and Japan and have an equity interest in Clearnet, a leading wireless provider in Canada. Through our operating subsidiaries and affiliates, referred to as our Operating Companies, we provide SMR wireless communications services in the five largest cities in Latin America and two of the ten largest cities in Asia.

      We use integrated digital enhanced network transmission technology, or iDEN®, developed by Motorola, to provide our digital enhanced SMR, or ESMR, services, in our markets. Digital ESMR allows us to utilize our spectrum more efficiently. We are designing and constructing digital ESMR networks using iDEN technology to support a full complement of digital wireless services, including paging, short-text messaging, Internet connectivity and advanced calling features, such as two-way calling, voicemail and call forwarding. We market our services under the “Nextel™” name in Latin America and the Philippines; our Japanese affiliate markets them under the “NEXNET™” name; and Clearnet markets its services under the “Mike™” name.

      During the second quarter of 2000, we launched “Nextel Worldwide™” with the introduction of the “i2000™” subscriber unit. The i2000, which is manufactured by Motorola, is a dual mode handset that operates on both the iDEN technology and Global System for Mobile Communications, referred to as GSM, 900 MHz digital wireless technology.

      Through some recent transactions, we increased our ownership interests in Nextel Philippines from about 38% to about 51% and in McCaw Brazil from about 92% to 100%. As a result of the Brazilian transaction, our ownership interest in all of our Latin American subsidiaries is 100%. The table below provides an overview of our total and proportionate share of digital subscriber units in service as of June 30, 2000 and 1999 based on our ownership interests in effect at each date. The table also provides our pro forma proportionate share of digital subscriber units in service as of June 30, 2000, giving effect to the recent increases in our ownership

interests described above. We intend to report our digital subscriber unit net additions during the third quarter using the pro forma second quarter ending digital subscriber units in service as the starting reference point.

B.  Second Quarter Transactions and Developments.

      1.  Purchase of Common Equity Shares in Companies in Brazil, Peru and Chile. In May 2000, we purchased another stockholder’s interest in Nextel Peru for about $2.8 million in cash and increased our ownership from about 63% to about 69%.

      Also in May 2000, we purchased all of the equity interests of Motorola International in Nextel Peru, which increased our ownership from about 69% to 100%. At the same time, we purchased all of Motorola International’s equity interests in our Brazilian operations, which increased our effective ownership in our Brazilian operations from about 88% to about 92%. In August 2000, we purchased the remaining 8% from the remaining minority stockholders, as described in C. — Post Second Quarter Transactions and Developments, increasing our ownership interest in McCaw Brazil to 100%. In May 2000, we also purchased all of Motorola International’s equity interests in three Chilean analog SMR companies, which were wholly owned by Motorola International. We have entered into an agreement with Motorola International to manage these three Chilean SMR companies during a transition period. The aggregate purchase price paid to Motorola International for these acquisitions in Brazil, Peru and Chile was about $77.7 million in cash.

      2.  Shanghai, Peoples Republic of China Negotiations. As a result of recent changes to the regulatory environment in China, Shanghai CCT-McCaw, a joint venture in which we own a 30% interest, terminated an agreement with Unicom under which we had the right to share in the profits of the Shanghai GSM System. In consideration for entering into this termination agreement, Shanghai CCT McCaw received about $61.3 million in cash, and we received warrants to purchase shares of Unicom stock. In May 2000, we received a reimbursement of $7.5 million for advances we previously made to Shanghai CCT McCaw. We are currently working with the other stockholders of the joint venture to arrange for the reimbursement of expenses incurred by the stockholders related to their investment in Shanghai CCT McCaw and the sale of our interests in the joint venture. Any funds remaining after payment of these expenses and satisfaction of other existing obligations will be distributed among the stockholders of Shanghai CCT McCaw. We would be entitled to receive 30% of the total amount distributed based on our ownership interest.

      3.  Brazil Regulatory Development. On April 14, 2000, Brazil’s telecommunications regulatory agency, Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações, referred to as Anatel, issued new regulations relating to the provision of SMR services in Brazil. As a result, Brazil has opened its doors wider to competition in the mobile wireless segment where we operate. These new regulations have relaxed restrictions that significantly limited the ability of Nextel Brazil and its affiliated companies to provide ESMR services to all potential business customer

15


Table of Contents

groups and to be fully responsive to its customers’ demands and needs for mobile wireless communications services.

      4.  Additional Capital. On April 4, 2000, we received an advance of $77.7 million from a wholly owned subsidiary of Nextel Communications in connection with the anticipated purchase of Motorola International’s equity interest in Nextel Brazil, Nextel Peru and three Chilean companies as discussed above. On June 2, 2000, we issued 777 shares of our series A exchangeable redeemable preferred stock to a wholly owned subsidiary of Nextel Communications as repayment of this intercompany advance. Additionally, on April 7, 2000, we issued 1,500 shares of our series A exchangeable redeemable preferred stock to a wholly owned subsidiary of Nextel Communications in exchange for cash proceeds of $150.0 million. On June 12, 2000, all of the shares of series A exchangeable redeemable preferred stock outstanding at that time were exchanged for our common stock. On June 29, 2000, we issued 2,150 shares of our series A exchangeable redeemable preferred stock to a wholly owned subsidiary of Nextel Communications in exchange for cash proceeds of $215.0 million.

      5.  Board of Director Actions. On June 2, 2000, our board of directors approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 73,000,000 to 200,000,000, enabling us to complete a 4-for-1 common stock split, which was effective June 20, 2000. Information presented throughout this quarterly report has been adjusted to reflect this 4-for-1 common stock split. At the same time, our board of directors approved a new incentive equity plan that more closely resembles the plan of Nextel Communications. This plan was adopted by the plan administration committee on May 25, 2000.

      6.  Credit Facility Amendments. In December 1999, Nextel Argentina and the lenders under the Argentina Credit Facility amended the facility to modify several financial covenants applicable to the fourth quarter of 1999 and the first quarter of 2000. As contemplated in December 1999, on June 20, 2000, in conformity with our 2000 operating plan, Nextel Argentina and the lenders under the Argentina Credit Facility amended the facility to modify several financial covenants. As a condition to the effectiveness of those amendments, we amended the capital subscription agreement under which we contributed equity of $84.1 million to Nextel Argentina during 1999 and are now required to contribute equity of $134.5 million during 2000, $110.0 million during 2001 and $117.0 million during 2002, all subject to adjustment in case of certain events. As of June 30, 2000, Nextel Argentina had borrowed the entire $100.0 million available under the Argentina Credit Facility. Nextel Argentina is in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the facility, as amended.

      Also in the second quarter of 2000, we amended and restated the $125.0 million equipment financing agreement between McCaw Brazil and Motorola Credit Corporation to effect certain administrative changes.

C.  Post Second Quarter Transactions and Developments.

      1.  McCaw Brazil Ownership. We entered into a purchase, release and settlement agreement dated as of July 21, 2000 with the Founders Group, who collectively were the minority stockholders in McCaw Brazil. Under that agreement, on August 4, 2000, we (1) made a cash payment to members of the Founders Group totaling $146.0 million, (2) received all of the equity interests held by the Founders Group in McCaw Brazil and (3) exchanged mutual releases with all of the members of the Founders Group. In addition, all pending court disputes between us and Telcom Ventures, a member of the Founders Group, have been permanently dismissed. For a description of these disputes, see Part I, “Item 3. Legal Proceedings — McCaw Brazil” in our 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As a result, all rights of the Founders Group as minority stockholders in McCaw Brazil, including their rights to put their equity interests to us beginning in October 2001, have terminated.

      2.  Nextel Philippines. On July 28, 2000, we increased our direct and indirect ownership interests in Nextel Philippines from about 38% to about 51% through the purchase of some of the minority owners interests in Nextel Philippines for about $9.8 million.

Table of Contents

      3.  12.75% Senior Serial Redeemable Notes due 2010. In August 2000, we completed the issuance and sale in a private placement of $650.0 million in principal amount of our 12.75% senior serial redeemable notes due 2010, generating about $623.8 million in net cash proceeds. Cash interest is payable semi annually beginning February 1, 2001 at a rate of 12.75% per year. The senior serial notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at our option, at any time on or after August 1, 2005 at specified redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest. Up to 35% of the original principal amount of these outstanding senior serial notes may be redeemed (using the proceeds of specified kinds of our capital stock) on or prior to August 1, 2003, at our option under specified circumstances, at 112.75% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. These notes are senior unsecured indebtedness of ours and rank equal in right of payment with all our other unsubordinated, unsecured indebtedness. In connection with the issuance of these notes, we amended some of our vendor financing agreements with Motorola Credit and entered into a Second Amended and Restated First Opportunity Agreement with Nextel Communications.

      Because these notes were issued in a private placement, they may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. In the event that these notes are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to February 1, 2001, additional incremental interest on the principal amount of these notes will accrue until they are registered or other requirements are met.

D.  Results of Operations.

      The following discussion compares our condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, and describes significant factors that could affect our prospective financial condition and results of operations.

      Historical results may not indicate future performance. See “F. Our Forward Looking Statements are Subject to a Variety of Factors that Could Cause Actual Results to Differ Materially From Current Beliefs.”

     1.  Operating Revenues.

      Operating revenues include service revenues, which consist primarily of charges for airtime usage and monthly network access fees from providing mobile wireless services.

     Operating revenues increased primarily due to growth in the number of our digital subscriber units in service and higher average monthly revenue per digital subscriber unit. The growth in the number of digital subscriber units in service of our consolidated subsidiaries, primarily in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, from 154,000 at June 30, 1999 to about 469,100 at June 30, 2000 is the result of a number of factors, principally:

  •  the introduction of new products and services, such as international roaming services;
 
  •  an increased number of indirect distributors;
 
  •  the expansion of coverage in existing markets;
 
  •  a continued emphasis on increasing brand awareness, primarily through increased advertising; and
 
  •  the launch of digital interconnect ESMR service in Peru during June 1999. Prior to June 1999, only two-way radio digital dispatch service was available from Nextel Peru, and the potential customer base expanded significantly with the addition of interconnect service.

      The higher average monthly revenue per digital subscriber unit is the result of a number of factors, principally:

  •  the establishment of the calling party pays program in Argentina, resulting in additional revenue via fees paid by non-subscribers placing calls to our subscribers in Argentina;
 
  •  the introduction of digital interconnect ESMR service in Peru during June 1999, which has generated higher revenues per digital subscriber unit than the two-way radio digital dispatch service previously available; and
 
  •  a shift in our customer use patterns away from use of digital two-way radio only to full use of our integrated services, with a corresponding increase in number of minutes of use of our digital services.

     2.  Cost of Revenues.

      Cost of revenues consists primarily of network operating costs, including site rent and utilities, and interconnection fees assessed by local exchange carriers.

      The increase in cost of revenues is primarily attributable to interconnect costs on higher minutes of use and increased site lease costs and utilities that we incurred due to about an 80% increase in the number of cell sites we placed in service from June 30, 1999 to June 30, 2000.

General and administrative 29,536 46 % 33,721 154 % (4,185 ) (12 )%

      The increase in selling and marketing expenses primarily reflects increased costs incurred in connection with higher consolidated sales of digital subscriber units across all of our reportable segments during the six and three months ended June 30, 2000, including:

  •  $20.8 million and $12.6 million of additional advertising costs;
 
  •  $15.2 million and $8.6 million of increased losses due to subsidies generated from increased sales of digital subscriber units and related accessories; and
 
  •  $6.1 million and $5.0 million of increased commissions earned by employees, indirect dealers and distributors as a result of increased digital subscriber unit sales.

      The decrease in general and administrative expenses during the six and three months ended June 30, 2000 is due primarily to a $13.7 million and $10.1 million reduction of bad debt expense due to increased focus on credit and collection activities. This decrease was partially offset by a $4.0 million and a $5.9 million increase in expenses related to billing and customer care as a result of a larger customer base, as well as increases in personnel, facilities and general corporate expenses.

      Depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to increased depreciation as a result of placing additional cell sites into service in existing markets to improve and enhance coverage of our digital ESMR networks. System assets relating to the development and expansion of our digital ESMR networks represent the largest portion of our capital expenditures during each period. Depreciation begins when system assets are placed into service in the relevant markets.

      We define segment losses as earnings (losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other non-recurring charges. We incurred segment losses across all of our consolidated subsidiaries during the six and three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Segment losses in Brazil and Argentina have decreased for the six- and three-month periods ending June 30, 2000 as a result of increases in revenue due to subscriber growth in Brazil, subscriber growth and average revenue per unit increases in Argentina and reductions in bad debt expense in both markets. We expect these segment losses to continue for the next several years while we expand our digital ESMR networks and business activities, grow our subscriber base and strengthen the support systems necessary to service our growing number of subscribers.

      The increase in interest expense for the six and three months ended June 30, 2000, resulted from higher levels of outstanding debt drawn primarily to finance our current expansion and improvement of digital ESMR network coverage in our Latin American markets.

      The increase in interest income for the six and three months ended June 30, 2000 is primarily due to higher average outstanding cash balances as a result of $442.7 million in proceeds received from the issuance of series A exchangeable redeemable preferred stock during the second quarter of 2000.

      The increase in equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates for the six and three months ended June 30, 2000 is attributable to increased operating losses incurred by Nextel Philippines and NEXNET.

      The foreign currency transaction gain for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 is due primarily to the strengthening of the Brazilian real relative to the U.S. dollar during the first quarter of 2000 offset by the weakening of the Brazilian real relative to the U.S. dollar during the second quarter of 2000. The foreign currency transaction loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 is due primarily to the weakening of the Brazilian real relative to the U.S. dollar during the first quarter of 1999 slightly offset by the strengthening of the Brazilian real relative to the U.S. dollar during the second quarter of 1999.

      The decrease in minority interest in losses of subsidiaries for the six and three months ended June 30, 2000 is attributable primarily to the reductions in minority stockholders’ percentage shares of net operating losses in Nextel Brazil and Nextel Peru.

E.  Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Working capital increased by $84.1 million to $65.8 million at June 30, 2000 compared to a working capital deficit of $18.3 million at December 31, 1999 primarily relating to the increase in cash and cash equivalents resulting from the proceeds of $442.7 million generated by the issuance of series A exchangeable redeemable preferred stock in the second quarter of 2000. This working capital increase was partially offset by the utilization of a portion of the proceeds to fund capital expenditures and additional investments in consolidated subsidiaries.

      We incurred losses attributable to common stockholders of $302.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and losses attributable to common stockholders of $268.0 million for the six months ended

21


Table of Contents

June 30, 1999. We had losses attributable to common stockholders of $191.4 million during the second quarter of 2000 and $102.7 million during the second quarter of 1999. The operating expenses and capital expenditures associated with developing, enhancing and operating our digital ESMR networks have more than offset our operating revenues. Our operating expenses, debt service obligations and anticipated capital expenditures are expected to continue to more than offset operating revenues for the next several years. We have consistently used external sources of funds, primarily from debt incurrences and from the issuance of our series A exchangeable redeemable preferred stock to a wholly owned subsidiary of Nextel Communications, to fund operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other nonoperating needs.

     1.  Cash Flows

      Capital expenditures to fund the continued expansion and enhancement of our digital ESMR networks continue to represent the largest use of our funds for investing activities. Cash payments for capital expenditures increased $54.5 million to $141.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in capital expenditures is part of our strategy to focus on aggressive expansion and improvement of digital ESMR network coverage in our Latin American markets, primarily in Brazil and Mexico. During the first half of 2000, we used $80.5 million of cash to increase our ownership interests in Nextel Brazil and in Nextel Peru and to acquire new Operating Companies in Chile.

      Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 consists primarily of $442.7 million from the issuance of series A exchangeable redeemable preferred stock to our parent company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nextel Communications, and $88.1 million from borrowings under vendor credit facilities offset by repayment of $13.2 million of long-term debt.

     2.  Future Capital Needs and Resources.

      Our strategy is focused on aggressive expansion and improvement of digital ESMR coverage in our Latin American markets, expansion into new markets and continued support as appropriate in light of perceived future prospects of our investments in Asia. Our business plan, which has been developed based on this strategy, is designed to improve subscriber unit growth, revenues and other key financial performance measurements. We have already begun to take the actions necessary to achieve the business plan. These actions include:

  •  improving digital ESMR network coverage within our existing markets in Latin America;
 
  •  expanding our digital ESMR network service to reach new areas in Latin America;
 
  •  improving brand awareness;
 
  •  introducing innovative pricing plans;
 
  •  working closely with industry associations and local government offices to eliminate anti-competitive and anti-consumer regulations;
 
  •  developing new and strengthening existing distribution channels; and
 
  •  introducing new products and services.

      Our 2000 operating plan has been developed in anticipation of the continuing acceleration of the growth, and continuing improvements in the financial and operating performance, of our digital ESMR networks. Accordingly, we expect that anticipated cash expenditures during the remainder of 2000 will be focused on the following items:

  •  capital expenditures to expand and improve digital ESMR network coverage in existing or targeted future markets, primarily in Latin America;
 
  •  acquisition of additional spectrum to support entry into new digital ESMR network markets and/or to support increased network capacity and reduce future network construction expenditures in our existing digital ESMR markets;

22


Table of Contents

  •  acquisition of additional ownership interests in existing Operating Companies;
 
  •  debt service requirements;
 
  •  capital contributions to support and develop our investment positions in Asia as appropriate in light of perceived future prospects; and
 
  •  working capital requirements associated with our expanding operations in our existing and targeted future markets.

      Based on our assessment of the business activity and related cash needs of our Operating Companies, our available cash on hand and additional borrowing availability under our existing financing agreements, we believe that we will have adequate funding to continue our operations through the end of 2000. We expect that we will need to obtain additional funding to meet the anticipated cash needs associated with implementing our business plan beginning in 2001. In making this assessment, we have considered the increase in our cash needs attributable to potential acquisitions that are already subject to binding agreements or which we are currently negotiating, the $146.0 million paid to the members of the Founders Group and the related increase in our ownership interest in McCaw Brazil, as well as the future reductions in capital contributions from Motorola as a result of Motorola no longer being a minority owner in our consolidated subsidiaries in Peru and Brazil, and the anticipated receipt of cash representing the return of our investment in the Shanghai GSM system. This conclusion also takes into account:

  •  our receipt of $623.8 million of net proceeds from the issuance of our 12.75% senior serial notes on August 1, 2000;
 
  •  consolidated cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of about $297.4  million at June 30, 2000;
 
  •  the anticipated continued availability of unused borrowings of about $83.8  million in the aggregate under existing equipment financing facilities at June 30, 2000; and
 
  •  the anticipated continuation for the balance of 2000 of arrangements providing extended payment terms for purchases of subscriber units under agreements with Motorola.

      The availability of borrowings under our financing agreements is subject to specified conditions and limitations, and we cannot provide assurance that those conditions will be met at the times that we need to access borrowings under the relevant facilities. The terms of our financing agreements also require us at specified times to maintain compliance with various operating and financial covenants or ratios, which may become more stringent over time. Any failure to meet these covenants or ratios could have adverse effects on us and our ability to implement our current business plan, such as making future borrowings under those agreements unavailable or requiring repayment of amounts previously borrowed under those agreements in advance of their currently scheduled maturities. In addition, our capital needs and our ability to adequately address those needs through existing or any future potential debt or equity funding sources are subject to a variety of factors that cannot presently be predicted with certainty, including, for example, the commercial success of our digital ESMR networks, the amount and timing of our capital expenditures and operating losses and the volatility and demand of the debt and equity markets.

      We have had and may in the future have discussions with third parties regarding potential acquisitions of and/or equity investments in those third parties or wireless communications businesses or assets owned by them. Consideration of these potential acquisitions and/or investments is part of our proactive approach to expanding coverage in our principal target markets in Latin America and also could represent financially attractive or strategically desirable investment opportunities elsewhere. At this time, other than the existing arrangements that have been consummated and other currently pending or potential transactions that are disclosed in this quarterly report, we have no material legally binding commitments or understandings with any third parties that would require us to purchase an interest in or otherwise make any investment in or financial commitment to any new ventures. Our current expectation of cash needs and anticipated availability of related required funding during 2000 do not reflect the impact of any potential acquisitions or investments that may occur other than those described above. Any potential acquisitions or investments could involve

23


Table of Contents

significant additional funding needs in excess of those sources that we currently anticipate to be available, and thus could require us to raise additional equity or debt funding to successfully pursue, consummate and realize the potential benefits of those potential acquisitions or investments.

      If our business plans change, if economic conditions in any of our markets or competitive practices in the mobile wireless telecommunications industry, especially in Latin America, change materially from those currently prevailing or from those now anticipated to exist during 2000, or if other presently unexpected circumstances are encountered that have a material effect on the cash flow and/or profitability of our mobile wireless business, our anticipated cash needs as well as our conclusions as to the adequacy of our available sources could change significantly. We have been and will continue to be sensitive to abrupt changes in the financial markets and the business environments in those countries where we have operations, and will attempt to adjust our operating and financing plans accordingly.

      We have called upon Nextel Communications to provide us with significant financial support during 2000. Although we do not expect to request additional financing from Nextel Communications during the remainder of 2000, if we are unable to obtain necessary funding from other sources, we may seek additional financing from Nextel Communications. However, Nextel Communications has no legal obligation to make any additional equity investments or to otherwise advance any other funds to us. In addition to the absence of any legal obligation of Nextel Communications to provide funding to us, some of the agreements to which Nextel Communications currently is a party restrict the amount available to Nextel Communications and its relevant subsidiaries for specified purposes, including investments in and advances to us. To the extent we are unable, for any reason, to obtain sufficient funding from Nextel Communications after 2000, we cannot provide assurance whether or on what terms adequate replacement funding might be available from any other source. If we are unable to obtain the capital we require to implement our business plan, or to obtain it on acceptable terms and in a timely manner, we would attempt to take appropriate responsive actions to tailor our activities to our available financing, including making revisions to our business plan to accommodate the reduced funding.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

      We finance a portion of our operations through senior notes and bank and vendor credit facilities. These financial instruments expose us to market risks, including interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk. Our U.S. dollar denominated borrowings and vendor equipment financing account for about 90% of our cross currency exposure. The tenor of available hedging products is generally short-term and does not match our long-term capital flows. We are also exposed to interest rate risk due to fluctuations in the U.S. prime rate, LIBOR, Eurodollar rate and Average Base Rate, referred to as ABR. These rates are used to determine the variable rates of interest that are applicable to borrowings under our bank and vendor credit facilities.

      Our debt is denominated in U.S. dollars, while our operating revenues are denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar, primarily those related to the Brazilian real and Mexican peso, expose us to significant foreign exchange risk. We attempt to protect our revenues and earnings from foreign currency exchange risks by periodically adjusting prices in local currencies.

      As of June 30, 2000, we held about $29.9 million of debt securities in the form of commercial paper as short-term investments classified as available-for-sale in accordance with Statement of Financial Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” As the weighted average maturity from the date of purchase was less than four months, these short-term investments do not expose us to a significant amount of interest rate risk.

      We hold an available-for-sale investment in the common stock of Clearnet, a publicly traded company, which had a fair value of $232.5 million at June 30, 2000. We report our investment at its fair market value in

25


Table of Contents

our financial statements. Negative fluctuations in the stock price of Clearnet expose us to equity price risks. A 10% decline in the stock price would result in a $23.3 million decrease in the fair value of our investment in Clearnet.

      The table below presents principal cash flows by year of maturity for our fixed and variable rate debt obligations outstanding at June 30, 2000. Fair values are determined based on quoted market prices for our senior notes and carrying value for our bank and vendor credit facilities at June 30, 2000.

      Descriptions of our senior notes and bank and vendor credit facilities are contained in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in our 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the following table. The change in the total and fair values of our long-term debt as compared to December 31, 1999 reflects additional net borrowings under the existing bank and vendor credit facilities and the changes in the applicable market conditions.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

      We and/or our Operating Companies are involved in certain legal proceedings that are described in our 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. During the three months ended June 30, 2000, there were no material changes in the status of or developments regarding such legal proceedings.

      We entered into a purchase, release and settlement agreement dated as of July 21, 2000 with the Founders Group, who collectively were the minority shareholders in McCaw Brazil. Under that agreement, on August 4, 2000, we (1) made a cash payment to members of the Founders Group totaling $146.0 million, (2) received all of the equity interests held by the Founders Group in McCaw Brazil and (3) exchanged mutual releases with all of the members of the Founders Group. In addition, all pending court disputes between Nextel International and Telcom Ventures, a member of the Founders Group, have been permanently dismissed. These disputes have been more fully described in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a result, all rights of the Founders Group as minority stockholders in McCaw Brazil, including their rights to put their equity interests to us beginning in October 2001, have terminated.

The following Articles of Amendment are executed by the undersigned, a Washington corporation: 1. The name of the corporation is Nextel International, Inc. 2. Effective upon filing of these Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Washington, the first paragraph of Article III of the Articles of Incorporation of the corporation is amended to read as follows: "This corporation is authorized to issue a total of 200,037,500 shares of all classes of capital stock, divided into three classes as follows: 200,000,000 shares of common stock without par value 12,500 shares of Series A Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $10.00 25,000 shares of Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $10.00" 3. The date of the adoption of the amendment by the shareholders of the corporation is June 6, 2000. 4. The amendment was duly approved by the shareholders of the corporation in accordance with the provisions of RCW 23B.10.030 and RCW 23B.10.040. 5. The manner in which the amendment to Article III provides for an exchange of issued shares is to change each share of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of these Articles of Incorporation into 4 shares of common stock upon the effective date of these Articles of Amendment, thereby giving effect to a 4-for-I stock split. These Articles of Amendment are executed by said corporation by its duly authorized officer. DATED: June 12, 2000 NEXTEL INTERNATIONAL, INC. By: /s/ Thomas J. Sidman -------------------------------- Thomas J. Sidman, Vice President EX-3.2 3 ex3-2.txt RESTATED CERT. OF INCORP. 1 EXHIBIT 3.2 RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF NEXTEL INTERNATIONAL, INC. Pursuant to RCW 23B.10.070, the following constitutes Restated Articles of Incorporation of the undersigned, a Washington corporation. These Restated Articles of Incorporation correctly set forth without change the corresponding provisions of the Articles of Incorporation as heretofore amended and supersede the original Articles of Incorporation and all amendments thereto. ARTICLE I. NAME The name of this corporation is Nextel International, Inc. ARTICLE II. PURPOSES This corporation is organized to engage in any business, trade or activity which may be conducted lawfully by a corporation organized under the Washington Business Corporation Act. ARTICLE III. SHARES This corporation is authorized to issue a total of 200,037,500 shares of all classes of capital stock, divided into three classes as follows: 200,000,000 shares of common stock without par value 12,500 shares of Series A Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $10.00 25,000 shares of Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $10.00 A. Terms Of Series A Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock 1. Series A Stated Value. 1.1 Each share of Series A Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") will have a stated liquidation value of $100,000 (the "Series A Stated Value"), which Series A Stated Value will increase annually as set forth in Section 1.2. This corporation will issue fractional shares of Series A Preferred Stock - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PAGE 1 2 upon the original issuance, transfer or exchange of a Series A Preferred Stock share, unless this corporation and the holder of such Series A Preferred Stock share agree upon a payment in lieu of any such fractional share. 1.2 The Series A Stated Value will increase at an annual rate of accretion equal to 13.625% (the "Rate of Accretion"), which increase will be calculated semiannually on June 30 and on December 31 of each year during which any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding (each a "Semiannual Calculation Date"). All such increases will be cumulative and will be calculated by multiplying the Series A Stated Value as of the immediately prior Semiannual Calculation Date (or in the case of the first semiannual increase on June 30, 1998, by the original Series A Stated Value as set forth in Section 1.1) by 106.8125%, the product of which will constitute the Series A Stated Value until the next such semiannual calculation. All calculations required hereunder will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of 12 30-day months. 2. Dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock has no profit participation or dividend rights, except as required by law. 3. Series A Liquidation Rights. 3.1 In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of this corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive, for each share thereof, out of assets of this corporation legally available therefor, a preferential amount in cash equal to (and not more than) the sum of (A) the Series A Stated Value as of the immediately prior Semiannual Calculation Date, plus (B) an amount equal to the amount of all legally required dividends or distributions thereon, if any, payable pursuant to Section 2, plus (C) any Interim Accreted Value. "Interim Accreted Value" means, for purposes of this Section 3.1, an amount equal to (i) the Rate of Accretion expressed as a daily rate from the immediately prior Semiannual Calculation Date through the effective date of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up, multiplied by (ii) the Series A Stated Value as of the immediately prior Semiannual Calculation Date. All preferential amounts to be paid to the holders of any outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock in connection with a liquidation, dissolution or winding up will be paid before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any assets of this corporation to, the holders of (x) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PAGE 2 3 any series of Preferred Stock whose terms provide that the holders of Series A Preferred Stock should receive preferential payment with respect to such distribution (to the extent of such preference) or (y) common stock. If in any such distribution the assets of this corporation are insufficient to pay the holders of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock (and the holders of any Series B Preferred Stock and any other class or series of capital stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to distributions in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation) the full amounts to which they may be entitled, such holders will share ratably in any distribution of assets in accordance with the sums which would be payable on such distribution if all sums payable thereon were paid in full. In liquidation, shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock will rank on a pari passu basis. 3.2 Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive any amounts with respect to any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation other than the amounts provided in this Section 3. Neither a merger nor consolidation of this corporation into or with another corporation nor a merger or consolidation of any other corporation into or with this corporation, nor a sale, transfer, mortgage, pledge or lease of all or any part of the assets of this corporation will be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation for purposes of this Section 3. 4. Series A Voting Rights. 4.1 On matters as to which they are entitled to vote, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to the number of votes per share (calculated as of the date of any such vote) that is equal to the Series A Stated Value as of the immediately prior Semiannual Calculation Date divided by 100,000. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock will vote separately as a class on all matters as to which they are entitled to vote, except as otherwise provided herein. Any action that may be taken hereunder by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock at a meeting may be taken by the written consent of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. 4.2 Unless it has been approved by the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, voting together as if they constituted a single class, no amendment to the Restated Articles of Incorporation of this corporation can become effective if it (A) creates or authorizes the - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PAGE 3 4 creation of any class or series of capital stock (other than the Series B Preferred Stock) ranking on parity with or superior to the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series B Preferred Stock in any respect or (B) alters or changes the powers, preferences or rights of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock in a manner adverse to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. 4.3 Unless holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, voting together as if they constituted a single class, have given their approval, this corporation is not authorized to merge, reorganize, recapitalize, consolidate or consummate a share exchange (each a "Transaction") if (A) the GAAP Net Worth of the successor or resulting entity on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transaction (and any related transactions) is not equal to or greater than the GAAP Net Worth of this corporation immediately prior to the Transaction, or (B) the priority of the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series B Preferred Stock in the capital stock of the successor or resulting entity will rank on parity with or junior to any class or series of capital stock that has been created or issued without the approval of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4.2. "GAAP Net Worth" means the net worth of this corporation or any successor or resulting entity, as the case may be, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as in effect from time to time, on a basis consistent with past practice. 4.4 No dividend or other distribution will be declared or paid on the common stock or any other stock of this corporation ranking junior to or ranking pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock (except any outstanding Series B Preferred Stock) without the prior consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, and until any legally required dividends or distributions owing on the Series A Preferred Stock have been paid in full. 4.5 In addition to the voting rights set forth herein, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to exercise such voting rights as may be provided to them under Washington law to the extent such voting rights are not inconsistent with those set forth herein. Nothing herein should be read or construed as limiting such voting rights. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PAGE 4 5 5. Exchange for Series B Preferred Stock. 5.1 Series A Exchange Right. 5.1.1 Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock may, at any time following a Exchange Trigger Event, exchange any or all of such holder's shares of Series A Preferred Stock into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series B Preferred Stock as equals (A) the sum of the Series A Stated Value as of the immediately prior Semiannual Calculation Date plus any Interim Accreted Value of such Series A Preferred Stock, multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being exchanged, divided by (C) the Series B Stated Value (as defined in Section 1 of the Terms of Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock). For purposes of this Section 5.1.1, "Interim Accreted Value" means an amount equal to (i) the Rate of Accretion expressed as a daily rate from the immediately prior Semiannual Calculation Date through the date of exchange, multiplied by (ii) the Series A Stated Value as of the immediately prior Semiannual Calculation Date. To the extent necessary, this corporation will issue fractional shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon any exchange pursuant to this Section 5, unless this corporation and the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock being exchanged agree upon a payment in lieu of any such fractional share. In order to exercise the exchange privilege under this Section 5.1.1, a holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock must give written notice to this corporation at its principal office stating the holder's name and address and the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock such holder elects to exchange. 5.1.2 "Exchange Trigger Event" means (A) the recapitalization or reorganization of this corporation; (B) a registered, underwritten public offering of any capital stock of this corporation; (C) the sale or other disposition by Nextel Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Nextel Communications") or a wholly owned subsidiary of Nextel Communications, of shares of common stock of this corporation or (D) the issuance of shares of common stock by this corporation, such that following any event covered by clause (C) or (D) above, Nextel Communications owns less than fifty percent (50%) of this corporation's outstanding shares of common stock. 5.1.3 At such time as any certificate or certificates representing the Series A Preferred Stock that has been exchanged are surrendered to this corporation, this corporation will issue and deliver a certificate or certificates representing the appropriate number of shares of Series B - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PAGE 5 6 Preferred Stock (calculated pursuant to Section 5.1.1) to each former holder of Series A Preferred Stock participating in the exchange. In case of the exchange under Section 5.1.1 of only a part of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered to this corporation, this corporation will forthwith issue and deliver a new certificate for the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that have not been exchanged. Until any certificate or certificates representing Series A Preferred Stock that has been exchanged are surrendered and a certificate or certificates representing the Series B Preferred Stock into which such Series A Preferred Stock has been exchanged has been issued and delivered, the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that have been exchanged will represent the shares of Series B Preferred Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been exchanged. This corporation will pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax, if any, due on the issue of shares of Series B Preferred Stock issuable upon exchange of the Series A Preferred Stock. 6. Redemption. 6.1 Corporation's Right to Redeem. This corporation may (A) in its sole discretion and at any time, redeem all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding or (B) with the prior consent of the holders of a majority of such shares outstanding, redeem a portion of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, on a pro rata basis, in either case at a total per share redemption price equal to the sum of the Series A Stated Value as of the immediately prior Semiannual Calculation Date plus any Interim Accreted Value. "Interim Accreted Value," for purposes of this Section 6.1, means an amount equal to (i) the Rate of Accretion expressed as a daily rate from the immediately prior - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PAGE 6 7 Semiannual Calculation Date through the Series A Redemption Date, multiplied by (ii) the Series A Stated Value as of the immediately prior Semiannual Calculation Date. 6.2 Series A Redemption Notice. 6.2.1 Subject to the requirements of Section 6.1, this corporation may call all or a portion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for redemption and set a date for the redemption (the "Series A Redemption Date"). Notice of such proposed redemption (the "Series A Redemption Notice") must be mailed at least 45 days prior to the Series A Redemption Date to all holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock at their respective addresses as the same appear on the stock record books of this corporation. Each Series A Redemption Notice will state (A) the Series A Redemption Date, (B) the Series A Redemption Price, (C) the place or places where such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be surrendered, and (D) that legally required dividends or distributions, if any, on shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the Series A Redemption Date. No defect in any such notice as to any shares of Series A Preferred Stock will affect the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock. 6.2.2 Upon surrender in accordance with the Series A Redemption Notice of the certificates for any shares of Series A Preferred Stock so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Board of Directors so requires and the notice so states), such shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemed by this corporation, which will make payment to the surrendering holder in an amount equal to the product of the applicable Series A Redemption Price multiplied by the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being surrendered by such holder for redemption. 6.3 Payment Prior to Series A Redemption Date. 6.3.1 If a Series A Redemption Notice is duly given as provided for above, or if this corporation has given to the bank or trust company hereinafter referred to irrevocable authorization to give or complete such Series A Redemption Notice, and if prior to the applicable Series A Redemption Date the funds necessary for such redemption have been deposited by this corporation with a bank or trust company in good - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PAGE 7 8 standing (which bank or trust company will have been identified in a written notice given to the holders whose shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed), organized under the laws of the United States of America or a State thereof, having a capital surplus and undivided profits aggregating at least $100,000,000 according to its last published statement of condition, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for or otherwise subject to redemption, so as to be, and to continue to be, available therefor, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for or otherwise subject to redemption may not have been surrendered for cancellation, all shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for or otherwise subject to redemption will no longer be deemed to be outstanding on and after such Series A Redemption Date, and all rights with respect to such shares will forthwith cease and terminate at the close of business on such Series A Redemption Date, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive, out of the funds so set aside in trust, the amount payable on redemption thereof, without interest. Any interest accrued on any funds so deposited will be the property of this corporation and will be paid to this corporation from time to time. 6.3.2 Any funds set aside or deposited, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 6.3.1 that remain unclaimed at the end of one year from the applicable Series A Redemption Date will be released or repaid to this corporation, after which the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption will look only to this corporation for payment of the amount payable on redemption thereof, without interest, subject to the applicable law of escheat. 7. Other Provisions. 7.1 Issuance of Shares. This corporation will not issue, or enter into any commitment to issue, shares of Series A Preferred Stock except (A) pursuant to the terms of any agreement in effect on the date that the Articles of Amendment of the Restated Articles of Incorporation of this corporation establishing the powers, preferences and rights of the Series A Preferred Stock were originally filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Washington, or (B) such other issuances or issuance commitments as have been approved in advance by the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, voting together as if they constituted a single class. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PAGE 8 9 7.2 Cancellation of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock. No share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock acquired by this corporation for any reason can be reissued, and all such shares will be canceled, retired and eliminated from the shares of Series A Preferred Stock which this corporation is authorized to issue. 7.3 Reservation of Shares. This corporation will at all times reserve from its authorized Series B Preferred Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for exchange of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock from time to time outstanding. 7.4 Notices. This corporation will provide to each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock a copy of any materials delivered to the holders of any other shares of this corporation's capital stock by or on behalf of this corporation at the same time such materials are being delivered to such other holders. 7.5 Record Holders. This corporation and its transfer agent, if any, for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, may deem and treat the record holder of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock as the sole true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither this corporation nor any such transfer agent will be affected by any notice to the contrary. B. Terms of Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock 1. Series B Stated Value. Each share of Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") will have a liquidation preference at a stated value, calculated at the time the first share(s) of Series A Preferred Stock are exchanged into share(s) of Series B Preferred Stock, equal to the Series A Stated Value as of the immediately prior Semiannual Calculation Date plus an amount equal to any Interim Accreted Value (the "Series B Stated Value"). "Interim Accreted Value," for the purposes of this Section 1, means an amount equal to (i) the Rate of Accretion expressed as a daily rate from the immediately prior Semiannual Calculation Date through the date of exchange, multiplied by (ii) the Series A Stated Value as of the immediately prior Semiannual Calculation Date. This corporation will issue fractional shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon the original issuance, transfer or exchange of a Series B Preferred Stock share, unless this corporation and the holder of such Series B Preferred Stock share agree upon a payment in lieu of any such fractional share.

Dividends. 2.1(a) Beginning on their date of issuance, holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor, dividends on each share of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding held by them, at a rate per annum equal to 13.625% of the Series B Stated Value, or a daily rate of 0.0378% of the Series B Stated Value (the "Daily Rate").

Such dividends will be cumulative, whether or not earned or declared, and will be payable on June 12, September 12, and December 12, March 12 in each such Subsequent Year, commencing on June 12, 2010 (each, a "Subsequent Year Distribution Date") if any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding. 2.2 Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock will be will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 2.3 References herein to the "Appropriate Year" shall mean a year during the Initial Term or a Subsequent Year, as appropriate to the context. References herein to the "Appropriate Daily Rate" shall mean the Daily Rate or a Subsequent Year Daily Rate, as appropriate to the context. References herein to an "Appropriate Distribution Date" shall mean a Distribution Date or a Subsequent Year Distribution Date, as appropriate to the context. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PAGE 10 11 2.4 Dividends payable on the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be paid in cash or, at the option of this corporation, in additional fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series B Preferred Stock having an aggregate Series B Stated Value equal to the amount of such dividends ("PIK Dividend Shares"); PROVIDED, THAT, PIK Dividend Shares may not be issued to pay any amount of accrued but unpaid dividends or distributions due pursuant to Section 3 below, or any amount of accrued but unpaid dividends or distributions due pursuant to Section 5 below. All PIK Dividend Shares, from and after their issuance on the Appropriate Distribution Date, shall have the same rights and privileges as any other outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. 3. Series B Liquidation Rights. 3.1 In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of this corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, for each share thereof, out of assets of this corporation legally available therefor, a preferential amount in cash equal to (and not more than) the sum of (A) the Series B Stated Value plus (B) an amount equal to the amount of all declared (or due to be declared), but unpaid dividends or distributions thereon, if any, payable pursuant to Section 2.1 during each Appropriate Year, plus an amount equal to the Appropriate Daily Rate multiplied by the Series B Stated Value, multiplied by the number of days since the immediately prior Appropriate Distribution Date. All preferential amounts to be paid to the holders of any outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up will be paid before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any assets of this corporation to, the holders of (i) any other series of preferred stock whose terms provide that the holders of Series B Preferred Stock should receive preferential payment with respect to such distribution (to the extent of such preference) or (ii) common stock. If in any such distribution the assets of this corporation are insufficient to pay the holders of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock (and the holders of any Series A Preferred Stock and any class or series of capital stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to distributions in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation) the full amounts to which they may be entitled, such holders will share ratably in any distribution of assets in accordance with the sums which would be payable upon such distribution if all sums payable thereon were paid - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PAGE 11 12 in full. In liquidation, shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock will rank on a pari passu basis. 3.2 Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive any amounts with respect to any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation other than the amounts provided in this Section 3. Neither a merger nor consolidation of this corporation into or with another corporation nor a merger or consolidation of any other corporation into or with this corporation, nor a sale, transfer, mortgage, pledge or lease of all or any part of the assets of this corporation will be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation for purposes of this Section 3. 4. Series B Voting Rights. 4.1 On all matters as to which they are entitled to vote, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to the number of votes per share (calculated as of the date of any such vote) that is equal to the Series B Stated Value divided by 100,000. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock will vote separately as a class on all matters as to which they are entitled to vote, except as otherwise provided herein. Any action that may be taken hereunder by the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock at a meeting may be taken by the written consent of the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. 4.2 Immediately following the issuance of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the number of Directors constituting the Board of Directors will be adjusted to permit the holders of the majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, to elect one additional Director to the Board of Directors (the "Series B Director"). The Series B Director's initial term will expire at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the holders of the common stock of this corporation, at which meeting the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding voting separately as a class will be entitled to elect one Director. Any individual elected to the Board of Directors by vote of the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4.2 is referred to herein as a "Series B Director." 4.3 A Series B Director may only be removed from office by the vote of the holders of a majority of shares of Series B Preferred - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PAGE 12 13 Stock outstanding, voting separately as a class. Except as set forth in Section 4.7, any vacancy for the Series B Director position may be filled only by the vote of the holders of a majority of shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, voting separately as a class. 4.4 If dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock are in arrears and unpaid for four consecutive quarterly periods or for any six quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive) (each, a "Dividend Default"), then the number of Directors constituting the Board of Directors will be adjusted to permit the holders of the majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, to elect an additional Director (the "Series B Default Director"). For the purpose of determining the number of quarterly periods for which accrued dividends have not been paid, any accrued and unpaid dividend that is subsequently paid will not be treated as unpaid. 4.5 The right of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock to elect the Series B Default Director as described above will continue until such time as all accumulated dividends that are in arrears on the Series B Preferred Stock are paid in full, at which time the term of any Series B Default Director elected pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof will terminate and the number of Directors constituting the Board of Directors will be reduced to the number necessary to reflect the termination of the right of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock to elect a Series B Default Director, subject always to the same provisions for the renewal and divestment of such special voting rights in the case of any future Dividend Default. At any time after voting power to elect a Series B Default Director has become vested and is continuing in the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof, or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Series B Default Director elected by the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, an officer of this corporation may, and upon the written request of the record holders of at least 25% of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding addressed to the secretary of this corporation must, call a special meeting of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, for the purpose of electing a new Series B Default Director. If such meeting is called by an officer of this corporation within 30 days after personal service of said written request upon the secretary of this corporation, or within 30 days after mailing the same within the United States by certified mail, addressed to the secretary of this corporation at its principal executive offices, then the holders of record of at least 25% of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding may designate in - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PAGE 13 14 writing one of their number to call such meeting at the expense of this corporation, and such meeting may be called by the person so designated upon the notice required for the annual meetings of shareholders of this corporation and will be held at the place for holding the annual meetings of shareholders or such other place in the United States as may be designated in such notice. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.5, no such special meeting need be called if any such request is received less than 40 days before the day fixed for the next ensuing annual or special meeting of shareholders of this corporation. This corporation will provide any holder of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock so designated access to the lists of holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock for purposes of calling a meeting pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.5. 4.6 At any meeting held for the purpose of electing a Series B Director or a Series B Default Director, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding will be required to constitute a quorum of such Series B Preferred Stock. 4.7 Any vacancy occurring in the office of the Series B Director can be filled by a then serving Series B Default Director, if any, and any vacancy occurring in the office of the Series B Default Director, if applicable, can be filled by any then serving Series B Director, in either case unless and until the holders of a majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding elect another person to fill any such vacancy. 4.8 Upon the redemption of the last share of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding, the number of Directors constituting the Board of Directors will be adjusted to eliminate any then existing Series B Director or Series B Default Director seats, subject always to the provisions of this Section 4 for the renewal and divestment of such special Series B Preferred Stock voting rights on the subsequent issuance of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock. 4.9 Unless it has been approved by the vote of the holders of a majority of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, each voting together as if they constituted a single class, no amendment to the Restated Articles of Incorporation of this corporation can become effective if it (A) creates or authorizes the creation of any class or series of capital stock (other than the Series A Preferred Stock) ranking on parity with or superior to the Series A - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PAGE 14 15 Preferred Stock or the Series B Preferred Stock in any respect or (B) alters or changes the powers, preferences or rights of shares of Series B Preferred Stock in a manner adverse to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series B Preferred Stock. 4.10 Unless holders of a majority of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, voting together as if they constituted a single class, have given their approval, this corporation is not authorized to participate or engage in any Transaction if (A) the GAAP Net Worth of the successor or resulting entity on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transaction (and any related transactions) is not equal to or greater than the GAAP Net Worth of this corporation immediately prior to the Transaction or (B) the priority of the Series B Preferred Stock in the capital stock of the successor or resulting entity is on parity with or junior to any class or series of capital stock that has been created or issued without the approval of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4.9. 4.11 No dividend or other distribution will be declared or paid on the common stock or any other stock of this corporation ranking junior to or ranking pari passu with the Series B Preferred Stock (except as required by law on any outstanding Series A Preferred Stock) without the prior consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding and until any dividends or distributions owing on the Series B Preferred Stock have been paid in full. 4.12 In addition to the voting rights set forth herein, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to exercise such voting rights as may be provided to them under Washington law to the extent such voting rights are not inconsistent with those set forth herein. Nothing herein should be read or construed as limiting such voting rights. 5. Redemption of Series B Preferred Stock. 5.1 Corporation's Right to Redeem. This corporation may (A) in its sole discretion and at any time, redeem all shares of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, or (B) with the consent of the holders of a majority of such shares outstanding, redeem a portion of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding, on a pro rata basis, in either case at a total per share redemption price equal to the sum of the Series B Stated Value, plus an amount equal to the amount of all declared (or due to be declared), but unpaid dividends or distributions thereon, if any, payable - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PAGE 15 16 pursuant to Section 2.1, through the immediately prior Appropriate Distribution Date, plus an amount equal to the product of the Appropriate Daily Rate multiplied by the Series B Stated Value, multiplied by the number of days since the immediately prior Appropriate Distribution Date (the "Series B Redemption Price"). 5.2 Series B Redemption Notice. 5.2.1 Subject to the provisions of Section 5.1, this corporation may call all or a portion of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock for redemption and set a date for the redemption (the "Series B Redemption Date"). Notice of a proposed redemption pursuant to Section 5.1 (each such notice a "Series B Redemption Notice") must be mailed at least 45 days prior to the Series B Redemption Date to all holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock at their respective addresses as the same appear on the stock record books of this corporation. Each Series B Redemption Notice will state (A) the Series B Redemption Date, (B) the Series B Redemption Price, (C) the place or places where such shares of Series B Preferred Stock are to be surrendered, and (D) that dividends on shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the Series B Redemption Date. No defect in any such notice as to any shares of Series B Preferred Stock will affect the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock. 5.2.2 Upon surrender in accordance with the Series B Redemption Notice of the certificates for any shares of Series B Preferred Stock so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Board of Directors so requires and the notice so states), such shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be redeemed by this corporation, which will make payment to the surrendering holder in an amount equal to the product of the applicable Series B Redemption Price, multiplied by the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock being surrendered by such holder for redemption. 5.3 Payment Prior to Series B Redemption Date. 5.3.1 If a Series B Redemption Notice is duly given as provided for above, or if this corporation has given to the bank or trust company hereinafter referred to irrevocable authorization to give or complete such Series B Redemption Notice, and if prior to the applicable Series B Redemption Date the funds necessary for such redemption will have been deposited by this corporation with a bank or trust company in good - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PAGE 16 17 standing (which bank or trust company will have been identified in a written notice given to the holders whose shares of Series B Preferred Stock are to be redeemed), organized under the laws of the United States of America or a State thereof, having a capital surplus and undivided profits aggregating at least $100,000,000 according to its last published statement of condition, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so called for or otherwise subject to redemption, so as to be, and to continue to be, available therefor, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for shares of Series B Preferred Stock so called for or otherwise subject to redemption may not have been surrendered for cancellation, all shares of Series B Preferred Stock so called for or otherwise subject to redemption will no longer be deemed to be outstanding on and after such Series B Redemption Date and all rights with respect to such shares will forthwith cease and terminate at the close of business on such Series B Redemption Date, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive, out of the funds so set aside in trust, the amount payable on redemption thereof, without interest. Any interest accrued on any funds so deposited will be the property of this corporation and will be paid to this corporation from time to time. 5.3.2 Any funds set aside or deposited, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 5.3.1 that remain unclaimed at the end of one year from the applicable Series B Redemption Date will be released or repaid to this corporation, after which the holders of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so called for redemption will look only to this corporation for payment of the amount payable on redemption thereof, without interest, subject to the applicable law of escheat. 6. Other Provisions. 6.1 Issuance of Shares. This corporation will not issue, or enter into any commitment to issue, shares of Series B Preferred Stock except (A) in exchange of shares of Series A Preferred Stock on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Terms of Series A Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock, or (B) as PIK Dividend Shares as contemplated in accordance with Section 2.4 above, or (C) such other issuances or issuance as have been approved in advance by the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of any Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, voting together as if they constituted a single class. 6.2 Cancellation of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

SECTION 2 ADVANCES SECTION 2.1 COMMITMENT. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, each Lender agrees, severally but not jointly, to make credit available in Dollars to the Company during the period from the Closing Date through and including the Commitment Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount up to but not exceeding the Available Commitment (each such advance being referred to as an "Advance"; and collectively as the "Advances"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to make any requested Advance if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of all Advances made by the Lender would exceed its Commitment. Each Lender represents, warrants and covenants that no part of the funds to be used by it to make or hold any Advance constitutes, directly and indirectly, the assets of an "employee benefit plan", within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA, or a "plan", within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code. (b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company may, at its option, avail itself of the Available Commitment in one or more drawdowns in increments of $5,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or such lesser or greater amount which constitutes the entirety of the remaining Available Commitment, but in any event not in excess of the remaining aggregate amount of the Available Commitment and in all cases subject to the limitations in subsections 2.1(a) and 2.2(a). -23- 31 SECTION 2.2 PROCEDURE FOR BORROWING; ADVANCES. (a) In order to request a Borrowing, the Company shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Request for Financing (or telephone the Administrative Agent, promptly confirmed with a written and duly completed Request for Financing) (i) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing not later than 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, and (ii) in the case of a Prime Rate Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, one Business Day before a proposed Borrowing. Each Request for Financing (including a telephonic Request for Financing) shall be irrevocable, shall be signed by or on behalf of the Company and shall specify the following information: (i) whether such Borrowing is to be a LIBOR Borrowing or a Prime Rate Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day and is defined herein as the "Drawdown Date"); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed (which shall be an account that complies with the requirements of subsection 2.2(d)); (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a LIBOR Borrowing, the initial Interest Period with respect thereto. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Prime Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.2 (and the contents thereof), of each Lender's portion of the requested Borrowing and the account to which Advances made in connection with the requested Borrowing are to be wired. The aggregate amount to be advanced by the Lenders pursuant to a Request for Financing satisfying the foregoing shall be limited to a principal amount which shall equal the lesser of (x) the amount requested as an Advance pursuant to such Request for Financing, or (y) subject to Section 2.1 hereof, the Available Commitment. (b) Each Advance shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Advances made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any Advance shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Advance required to be made by such other Lender). (c) Subject to Section 2.11, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Prime Advances or LIBOR Advances as the Company may request pursuant to subsection 2.1(a). Each Lender may at its option make any LIBOR Advance by causing any domestic or foreign branch of such Lender to make such Advance; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Company to repay such Advance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that the Company shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing which, if made, would result in more than ten LIBOR Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings. -24- 32 (d) Each Lender shall make each Advance to be made by it hereunder on the Drawdown Date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in Chicago as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 12:00 p.m., Chicago time, and the Administrative Agent shall, promptly upon receipt thereof, credit the amounts so received to an account as designated by the Company, in the applicable Request for Financing, or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection 2.2(d) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption make available to the Company on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Company severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Company until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Company, the interest rate(s) applicable at the time to the Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender's Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the Company shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall be deemed not to have been borrowed hereunder for purposes of utilization of the Maximum Commitment. (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be entitled to request any Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Borrowing that would end after the Maturity Date. SECTION 2.3 EVIDENCE OF DEBT (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Company to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. (b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the -25- 33 amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Company and each Lender's share thereof. (c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to subsections 2.3(a) and 2.3(b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Company to repay the Advances in accordance with their terms. (d) Any Lender may request that Advances made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Company shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a "Financing Note"). SECTION 2.4 REPAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL OF ADVANCES. (a) The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent on the Maturity Date the principal of the Advances made by the Lenders outstanding at the close of business on the Commitment Termination Date. (b) The Advances shall be repaid as and when necessary to cause the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding not to exceed the Available Commitment. SECTION 2.5 PREPAYMENTS. (a) Optional Prepayment; Voluntary Reduction of Commitment. (i) The Company may prepay Advances, in whole or in part, in integral multiples of $500,000 upon not less than three Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of the principal amount to be prepaid and the date of such prepayment. On the date specified for prepayment, the Company shall pay such principal amount plus accrued interest on such principal amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the conditions set forth in subsection 2.5(b) hereof shall be simultaneously satisfied, LIBOR Advances may be only repaid on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Advance. (ii) The Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty, to permanently reduce the Maximum Commitment hereunder by an amount of not less than $500,000 or integral multiples thereof (or such lesser or greater amount representing the entirety of the remaining Available Commitment); provided, that any such reduction in the Maximum Commitment shall reduce the respective Commitment of each Lender pro rata; and, provided further, that no such reduction shall reduce the Maximum Commitment to an amount less than the sum of the then outstanding Advances. -26- 34 The right of the Company to voluntarily reduce the Maximum Commitment shall be exercisable by delivery of written notice (including by facsimile) or telephonic notice (thereafter promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 p.m., Chicago time, at least three Business Days prior to the proposed permanent reduction in the Maximum Commitment, which notice shall specify the amount by which the Company proposes to permanently reduce the Maximum Commitment and the proposed date of such reduction. (b) Broken Funding Indemnification. The Company shall pay to the Agents and each Lender, such amount or amounts as shall compensate the Agents and each Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred by an Agent or a Lender (as reasonably determined and documented by affected Agent or Lender) as a result of: (i) prepayment or repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Advance; or (ii) any failure by the Company to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the Drawdown Date specified in the relevant Request for Financing under Section 2.2 hereof, such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to: (y) any actual loss or expense suffered by either Agent or any Lender during the period from such failure to borrow to the last day of such Interest Period if the rate of interest obtainable by such Lender or Agent upon the redeployment of an amount of funds equal to the amount not borrowed is less than the rate of interest applicable to such LIBOR Advance for such Interest Period (excluding any margin) or (z) any loss or expense suffered by the any Agent or any Lender in liquidating deposits in respect of LIBOR Advances prior to maturity. The Company shall pay any amount due hereunder no later than seven days after receipt of an invoice therefor from the affected Agent or Lender. (c) Effect of Prepayment. All Advances prepaid (other than pursuant to Section 2.2(e)), whether by mandatory or optional prepayment, may not be reborrowed. All prepayments shall be applied to the principal balance of then outstanding Advances. SECTION 2.6 INTEREST; FEES. (a) The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Advance made by the Lenders, for the period commencing on the date of such Advance until such Advance is paid in full, at the following rate per annum: (i) if such Advance is a Prime Advance, a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin; and -27- 35 (ii) if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance, for each Interest Period relating thereto, the LIBOR Rate for such Advance plus the Applicable Margin. Accrued interest on each Advance shall be paid in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest that is payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders. (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of an interest rate for any LIBOR Advance for any Interest Period therefor, any Lender reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error): (i) by reason of any event affecting the money markets in the United States of America or the London interbank market, quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining the rate of interest for such LIBOR Advances under this Agreement; or (ii) the rates of interest referred to in the definition of "LIBOR Base Rate" in Section 1.1 hereof upon the basis of which the rate of interest on any LIBOR Advance for such period is determined, do not accurately reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining such LIBOR Advance for such period, then, in addition to the Lender's rights under Sections 2.11 and 3.2, such Lender shall give the Company and the Administrative prompt notice thereof (and shall thereafter give the Company prompt notice of the cessation, if any, of such condition), and so long as such condition remains in effect, such Lender shall be under no obligation to make LIBOR Advances or to convert Prime Advances into LIBOR Advances pursuant to subsection 2.2(a) or Section 2.8 hereof and the Company shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding LIBOR Advances either prepay such LIBOR Advances in accordance with subsection 2.5(a) hereof or convert such LIBOR Advances into Prime Advances. (c) Without prejudice to the provisions of Section 10.2 hereof, in the event of default by the Company in payment of any principal amount of the Advances or interest thereon when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the Company shall pay to the Lenders interest on such past due and unpaid principal amount and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) on such defaulted interest from the due date until the date of payment in full (both before as well as after judgment), at the Post-Default Rate. Each determination of any loss or expense by a Lender or an Agent under this subsection 2.6(c) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. (d) Interest on all Prime Advances shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365/366 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last) occurring in the period for which payable and interest on all LIBOR Advances shall be -28- 36 computed on the basis of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last) occurring in the period for which payable. (e) The Company agrees to pay quarterly in arrears to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders on each March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, commencing with December 31, 1999 through and including December 31, 2001, and, if earlier, on the date the Obligations are paid in full, a commitment fee equal to 0.50% per annum of the average daily unused amount of the Commitments. The commitment fees required hereunder shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. SECTION 2.7 PAYMENTS (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments whatsoever by the Company to the Administrative Agent hereunder or in respect of any Financing Note shall be made in Dollars in same-day funds to the order of the Motorola Credit Corporation at BankOne, Chicago, Illinois, USA, ABA# 071-000-013, for the account of the Administrative Agent, Account #5201748 (or such other place as the Administrative Agent shall have designated in writing to the Company at least five Business Days prior to the scheduled payment date), not later than 2:00 p.m. Chicago time, on the day on which such payment shall become due. Any amounts received after such time on any date shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. (b) If any payment hereunder or in respect of any Financing Note would otherwise be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day. SECTION 2.8 CONVERSION AND CONTINUATION. The Company shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 12:00 p.m., Chicago time, one Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any LIBOR Advance into a Prime Advance, (b) not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any Prime Advance into a LIBOR Advance or to continue any LIBOR Advance as a LIBOR Advance for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Advance to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following: (i) each conversion shall be effected by each of the Lenders by recording for the account of such Lender the continued Advance of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Advance being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Advance (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Company at the time of conversion; -29- 37 (ii) if any LIBOR Advance is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Company shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to subsection 2.5(b); (iii) any portion of an Advance maturing or required to be repaid in less one month may not be converted or continued as a LIBOR Advance with an Interest Period ending after the date such repayment is required; and (iv) upon notice to the Company from the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (A) no outstanding Advance may be converted into, or continued as, a LIBOR Advance, and (B) unless repaid, each LIBOR Advance shall be converted to a Prime Advance at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Advance that the Company requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Advance is to be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Advance or a Prime Advance, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Advance is to be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Advance, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a LIBOR Advance, the Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. If the Company shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.8 to continue any Advance into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.8 to convert such Advance), such Advance shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be continued into a new Interest Period as a Prime Advance. SECTION 2.9 USE OF PROCEEDS. The Company agrees to use the proceeds of the Advances for the purpose of supporting the Company's build-out or operation of its network and employing primarily the products and services of Motorola Entities. SECTION 2.10 CHANGE IN LAW. If any change in any applicable Governmental Rule has made (or has made it apparent that it is) unlawful for the Company to perform any of its obligations under any of the Credit Documents and such change could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect then (a) the Lenders shall be discharged from all obligations to make, renew or maintain the Advances, and (b) the Company shall on demand pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, without premium or penalty except as provided in subsection 2.5(b), the outstanding principal amount of the Advances together with accrued interest thereon and all other moneys due to the Lenders hereunder; provided, that for so long as the Company is diligently pursuing the contest of the same by appropriate proceedings and such contest could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP, then the Lenders shall not be so discharged and the Company shall not be required to so pay upon demand. -30- 38 SECTION 2.11 ILLEGALITY. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date hereof, any change in any Governmental Rule shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Advance or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any LIBOR Advance, then, by written notice to the Company and to the Administrative Agent: (i) such Lender may declare that LIBOR Advances will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and Prime Advances will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into LIBOR Advances), whereupon any request for a LIBOR Borrowing (or to convert a Prime Rate Borrowing to a LIBOR Borrowing or to continue a LIBOR Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for a Prime Advance (or a request to continue a Prime Advance as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a LIBOR Advance into a Prime Advance), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and (ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding LIBOR Advances made by it be converted to Prime Advances in which event all such LIBOR Advances shall be automatically converted to Prime Advances as of the effective date of such notice as provided in subsection 2.11(b) below. In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the LIBOR Advances that would have been made by such Lender or the converted LIBOR Advances of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Prime Advances made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such LIBOR Advances. (b) For purposes of this Section 2.11, a notice to the Company by any Lender shall be effective as to each LIBOR Advance made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period(s) currently applicable to LIBOR Advances of such Lender; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Company. SECTION 2.12 PRO RATA TREATMENT. Except as required under Sections 2.7 and 2.11, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Advances, each payment of the fees required under the Fee Letter or under Section 2.6, each reduction of the Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Advances). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender's portion of any Borrowing to be made -31- 39 hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender's percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount. SECTION 2.13 SHARING OF SETOFFS. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Company or any other Credit Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Advance or Advances as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Advances shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Advances of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Advances of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances and participation in Advances held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances then outstanding as the principal amount of its Advances prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Advances outstanding prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.13 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in an Advance deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Company to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made an Advance directly to the Company in the amount of such participation. SECTION 3 FUNDING AND YIELD PROTECTION SECTION 3.1 TAXES, DUTIES, FEES AND CHARGES. (a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Company hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.7, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future Taxes. If the Company shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Credit Document to any Agent or any Lender (or any Transferee), (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an "additional amount") necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.1) such Agent or such Lender (or Transferee), as the case may be, shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Company shall make such deductions and (iii) the Company shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. -32- 40 (b) In addition, the Company agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp, documentary, excise, transfer, sales, property or similar taxes, charges or levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes and similar fees) that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Credit Document or from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document imposed by any Governmental Authority in the United States or the jurisdiction of any Payment Location ("Other Taxes"). (c) The Company will indemnify each of the Agents and each Lender (or Transferee) for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes paid by such Agent or such Lender (or Transferee), as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or a Lender (or Transferee), or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender (or Transferee), as the case may be, makes written demand therefor. (d) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by the Company to the relevant Governmental Authority, the Company will deliver to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 12.7, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof. (e) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (a "Non-U.S. Lender") that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of, withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Company is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments by the Company under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such documentation promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any documentation previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection 3.1(e), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this subsection 3.1(e) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. (f) The Company shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to subsection 3.1(a) or (c) above to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal withholding tax -33- 41 existed and would apply to payments made to such Non-U.S. Lender on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on the date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a new Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such new Lending Office with respect to an Advance; provided, however, that this subsection 3.1(f) shall not apply (x) to any Transferee or new Lending Office that becomes a Transferee or new Lending Office as a result of an assignment, participation, transfer or designation made at the request of the Company and (y) to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any Transferee, or any Lender (or Transferee), acting through a new Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this subsection 3.1(f)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) making the designation of such new Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to comply with the provisions of subsection 3.1(e) above. (g) Nothing contained in this Section 3.1 shall require any Lender (or any Transferee) or the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary). SECTION 3.2 CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES. (a) In the event that there shall hereafter occur any change in any Governmental Rule which increases or will increase (i) the cost to any Agent or any Lender of maintaining any reserves or special deposits against the LIBOR Advances or (ii) any other cost of any Agent or any Lender of complying with any law, regulation or condition with respect to the LIBOR Advances, and the result of any of the foregoing is or will be to increase the cost to any Agent or any Lender (each such affected party being referred to as an "Affected Party") of making or maintaining such Affected Party's LIBOR Advances or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) receivable by the Affected Party hereunder, then upon receipt of a request from the Affected Party, the Company shall pay or reimburse to the Affected Party, such amount as will compensate the Affected Party for such additional cost or reduction of payment; provided that the Company shall only be liable for such costs applicable to LIBOR Advances then outstanding. Amounts payable hereunder shall be due three (3) days after invoice therefor. (b) The protection of subsection 3.2(a) hereof shall apply to voluntary compliance by the Agents and the Lenders with restraints, guidelines or policies not having the force of law and shall apply if any Agent or any Lender shall comply with any law, regulation or condition irrespective of any possible contention of invalidity or non-applicability thereof.

The facsimile statement of the Affected Party as to the amount sufficient to indemnify the Affected Party against any increased cost, reduction or payment incurred, suffered or made by the Affected Party supported by the computations made by the Affected Party in arriving at such figure, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the amount thereof and binding on Company. A claim made under this Section 3.2 may be made before or after the end of the Interest Period to which such claim relates and before or after any repayment of all or part of the Advance to which such Interest Period relates. An increased cost shall be an increased cost for the purpose of subsection 3.2(a) hereof even if the payment or quantification of such increased cost is not or cannot be made until after the expiry of any Interest Period to which it relates. (d) In the event of any such change or request as is contemplated by subsection 3.2(a) hereof, the Affected Party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect or likely effect of such change or request by transferring its LIBOR Advances to another jurisdiction or otherwise; provided that the Affected Party shall be under no obligation to transfer the LIBOR Advances to another jurisdiction or to take any other action to mitigate the effect or likely effect of such change or request if, in the reasonable opinion of the Affected Party, such transfer or other action could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect upon the Affected Party, whether as a result of taxes, credit policies, political considerations or otherwise; provided further, that the Company shall reimburse the Affected Party on demand for all expenses (including, without limitation, attorney's fees) incurred by the Affected Party in effecting such transfer and the Affected Party shall have no obligation to effect any such transfer unless the Affected Party is satisfied that it will not suffer any adverse consequences as a result of such transfer for which it has not been indemnified by the Company. If any Affected Party is entitled to reimbursement under this subsection 3.2(d) for any cost, the Affected Party shall deliver to the Company a statement of the nature and amount of such cost which statement shall constitute prima facie evidence as to the amount due to the Affected Party under this subsection 3.2(d). (e) If the Company elects (which election shall be irrevocable) by giving at least two Business Days prior written notice to the Affected Party, the Company may, without penalty or premium, prepay to any Affected Party any of such Affected Party's Advances outstanding Advances on any Interest Payment Date applicable to such Advances with respect to which the Company has received a claim under this Section 3.2 together with accrued interest thereon and all other sums due to the Affected Party (including, without limitation, amounts accrued or due under this Section 3.2). (f) If any Lender requests compensation under this section 3.2, or if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.2, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Advances hereunder, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon Notice to such Lender and the Agents, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.5), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement -35- 43 to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent if such assignee is not a Lender at the time of assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts), and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under this Section 3.2 or payments required to be made under Section 3.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment or delegation cease to apply. SECTION 4 EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION; FEES SECTION 4.1 EXPENSES.

After the Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.5 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. With respect to the Advances made by it hereunder, each Agent in its individual capacity and not as Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the Agents and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent. Each Lender agrees (a) to reimburse the Agents, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its aggregate Commitment hereunder) of any expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Agents, including counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, that shall not have been reimbursed by the -71- 79 Company and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as Agent or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Company or any other Credit Party; provided that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent or any such other indemnified person for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Credit Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession if it takes such action for that purpose as the Company requests in writing, but failure of the Collateral Agent to comply with any such request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care, and no failure of the Collateral Agent to preserve or protect any rights with respect to such Collateral against prior parties, or to do any act with respect to the preservation of such Collateral not so requested by the Company, shall be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of such Collateral.

A "Wireless Entity" shall mean any corporation, partnership, trust, association or other form of business organization ("Entity") whose principal business activity involves the direct or indirect ownership or operation of two-way terrestrial-based mobile wireless communications systems anywhere in the world other than (A) the United States of America (including its territories, possessions and protectorates) and (B) so long as Nextel Communications has any direct or indirect Equity Interest (other than those held by or through a member of the Nextel International Group) in Clearnet Communications, Inc.

If either (i) the Board of Directors of Nextel International (or of the appropriate member of the Nextel International Group) thereafter notify Nextel Communications that such member of the Nextel International Group is not able or elects not to pursue such Future Wireless Opportunity or (ii) the appropriate member of the Nextel International Group has not notified Nextel Communications, within sixty (60) days after the date of the Initial Notice, that such member intends to pursue the Future Wireless Opportunity (provided that if such Future Wireless Opportunity involves any financial commitment to be made by a Nextel International Group member, Nextel Communications will not be deemed to have been notified that a Nextel International Group member intends to pursue the Future Wireless Opportunity unless the notification of such intent ("Notice of Intent") is either preceded or accompanied by (A) a statement, in reasonable detail, of the sources of financing reasonably available to such Nextel International Group member that will be used to satisfy such financial commitment and that such financing is permitted under the Indentures and the other loan documents, if any, to which the applicable Nextel International Group members are parties or by which they are bound (a "Financing Statement") or (B) a good faith written undertaking to identify the source and nature of such financing in a writing to be delivered to Nextel Communications within 30 days after the date on which the Notice of Intent is delivered ("Proposed Financing Notice"), and to deliver a Financing Statement consistent with the Proposed Financing Notice within 60 days after the Notice of Intent is delivered; provided, that, a failure to timely deliver a Proposed Financing Notice or the related Financing Statement will be treated as an election by the Nextel International Group not to pursue such Future Wireless Opportunity) or (iii) thereafter ceases to pursue such Future Wireless Opportunity diligently and in good faith or fails to consummate such Future Wireless Opportunity within nine months of the date of the Initial Notice (extended as may be reasonably required to obtain any necessary governmental approval or clearances) then, and in any such event, Nextel Communications or any of its controlled Affiliates may pursue for itself and consummate, without further obligation, condition or restriction under this Section 1, such Future Wireless Opportunity on substantially the same terms and conditions as were set forth in the Initial Notice (or, if applicable and at Nextel Communications' election, on terms and conditions in the aggregate no more favorable to Nextel Communications or its appropriate controlled Affiliates than those (if any) advanced by any member of the Nextel International Group that previously elected to pursue such Future Wireless Opportunity as acceptable to such member). Nothing in this Section 1 shall obligate Nextel Communications or any of its controlled Affiliates to provide any financing or any other assistance to any member of the Nextel International Group in connection with such member's consideration and/or pursuit of any such Future Wireless Opportunity.

(g) Each grant (i), unless otherwise determined by the Board, shall become exercisable with respect to fifty percent (50%) of the Common Shares covered thereby on the second anniversary of the Date of Grant and with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Common Shares covered thereby on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the Date of Grant for so long as the Optionee remains in the continuous employ of an Employer; provided, 8 10 however, in the event of an Initial Public Offering or Change in Control prior to the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Common Shares covered thereby shall become exercisable on each of the first four anniversaries of the Date of Grant for so long as the Optionee remains in the continuous employ of an Employer or in the event of an Initial Public Offering or Change in Control on or after the first anniversary of the Date of Grant but prior to the second anniversary of the Date of Grant, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Common Shares covered thereby shall become exercisable on the first to occur of the Initial Public Offering or Change in Control and twenty-five percent (25%) of the Common Shares covered thereby shall become exercisable on each of the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Date of Grant for so long as the Optionee remains in the continuous employ of an Employer and (ii), unless otherwise expressly determined in a resolution duly adopted by the Board on the Date of Grant or such later date on which the Board may ratify such grant, shall provide that the Option Rights shall (1) if the Optionee is a Nonaffiliate Director, immediately become fully exercisable upon the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Corporation or (2) if the Optionee is recognized by any Employer as a regular full time employee, immediately become fully exercisable upon the termination of the Optionee's employment by an Employer without Cause during the Accelerated Vesting Period and also, in the case of an Optionee who is an Executive, upon the termination of the Optionee's employment by the Optionee for Good Reason during the Accelerated Vesting Period; provided, however, that any such Accelerated Vesting Provision or any acceleration under Section 4(g)(i) shall be deemed void ab initio and shall be of no force or effect, if it should be determined that any such provision would prevent a proposed merger or other business combination that is intended by the parties thereto (which may include either or both of the Parent and the Corporation) to be accounted for as a pooling of interests from being so accounted for. (h) Option Rights granted pursuant to this Section 4 may be Nonqualified Options or Tax-Qualified Options or combinations thereof. (i) On or after the Date of Grant of any Nonqualified Option, the Board may provide for the payment to the Optionee of dividend equivalents thereon in cash or Common Shares on a current, deferred or contingent basis, or the Board may provide that any dividend equivalents shall be credited against the Option Price. (j) No Option Right granted pursuant to this Section 4 may be exercised more than 10 years from the Date of Grant. (k) Each grant shall be evidenced by an agreement that shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by any officer thereof and delivered to and accepted by the Optionee and shall contain such terms and provisions as the Board may determine consistent with this Plan. 5. Appreciation Rights. The Board may authorize grants to Participants of Appreciation Rights. An Appreciation Right shall be a right of the Participant to receive from the Corporation an amount that shall be determined by the Board and shall be expressed as a percentage (not exceeding 100 percent) of the Spread at the time of the exercise of the Appreciation Right. Any grant of Appreciation Rights under this Plan shall be upon such terms and conditions as the Board may determine in accordance with the following provisions: 9 11 (a) Any grant may specify that the amount payable upon the exercise of an Appreciation Right may be paid by the Corporation in cash, Common Shares or any combination thereof and may (i) either grant to the Participant or reserve to the Board the right to elect among those alternatives or (ii) preclude the right of the Participant to receive and the Corporation to issue Common Shares or other equity securities in lieu of cash; provided, however, that no form of consideration or manner of payment that would cause Rule 16b-3 to cease to apply to this Plan shall be permitted. (b) Any grant shall specify that no amount payable upon the exercise of an Appreciation Right shall be required to be paid to the extent that such payment would not be permitted under, or would constitute a breach or violation of, any indenture, loan agreement or other instrument or agreement to which the Corporation is a party or by which it is bound, and also may specify that the amount payable upon the exercise of an Appreciation Right shall not exceed a maximum specified by the Board on the Date of Grant. (c) Any grant may specify (i) a waiting period or periods before Appreciation Rights shall become exercisable and (ii) permissible dates or periods on or during which Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable. (d) Any grant may specify that an Appreciation Right may be exercised only in the event of a Change of Control or other similar transaction or event. (e) On or after the Date of Grant of any Appreciation Rights, the Board may provide for the payment to the Participant of dividend equivalents thereon in cash or Common Shares on a current, deferred or contingent basis. (f) Each grant shall be evidenced by an agreement that shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by any officer thereof and delivered to and accepted by the Participant and shall contain such terms and provisions as the Board may determine consistent with this Plan. (g) Regarding Tandem Appreciation Rights only: Each grant shall specifically identify the related Option Right (or similar right granted under any other plan of the Corporation) and shall provide that the Tandem Appreciation Right may be exercised only (i) at a time when the related Option Right (or such similar right) is also exercisable and the Spread is positive and (ii) by surrender of the related Option Right (or such similar right) for cancellation. (h) Regarding Free-Standing Appreciation Rights only: (i) Each grant shall specify in respect of each Free-Standing Appreciation Right a Base Price per Common Share, which shall be equal to or greater than the Market Value per Share on the Date of Grant; (ii) Successive grants may be made to the same Participant regardless of whether any Free-Standing Appreciation Rights previously granted to the Participant remain unexercised; (iii) Each grant shall specify the period or periods of continuous employment of the Participant by the Corporation or any Subsidiary that are necessary before the Free- 10 12 Standing Appreciation Rights or installments thereof shall become exercisable, and any grant may provide for the earlier exercise of the Free-Standing Appreciation Rights in the event of a Change of Control or other similar transaction or event; and (iv) No Free-Standing Appreciation Right granted under this Plan may be exercised more than 10 years from the Date of Grant. 6. Restricted Shares. The Board may authorize grants or sales to Participants of Restricted Shares upon such terms and conditions as the Board may determine in accordance with the following provisions: (a) Each grant or sale shall constitute an immediate transfer of the ownership of Common Shares to the Participant in consideration of the performance of services, entitling such Participant to dividend, voting and other ownership rights, subject to the substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer hereinafter referred to. (b) Each grant or sale may be made without additional consideration from the Participant or in consideration of a payment by the Participant that is less than the Market Value per Share on the Date of Grant. (c) Each grant or sale shall provide that the Restricted Shares covered thereby shall be subject to a "substantial risk of forfeiture" within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code for a period to be determined by the Board on the Date of Grant, and any grant or sale may provide for the earlier termination of such period in the event of a Change of Control or other similar transaction or event. (d) Each grant or sale shall provide that, during the period for which such substantial risk of forfeiture is to continue, the transferability of the Restricted Shares shall be prohibited or restricted in the manner and to the extent prescribed by the Board on the Date of Grant. Such restrictions may include without limitation rights of repurchase or first refusal in the Corporation or provisions subjecting the Restricted Shares to a continuing substantial risk of forfeiture in the hands of any transferee. (e) Any grant or sale may require that any or all dividends or other distributions paid on the Restricted Shares during the period of such restrictions be automatically sequestered and reinvested on an immediate or deferred basis in additional Common Shares, which may be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying award or such other restrictions as the Board may determine. (f) Each grant or sale shall be evidenced by an agreement that shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by any officer thereof and delivered to and accepted by the Participant and shall contain such terms and provisions as the Board may determine consistent with this Plan. Unless otherwise directed by the Board, all certificates representing Restricted Shares, together with a stock power that shall be endorsed in blank by the Participant with respect to the Restricted Shares, shall be held in custody by the Corporation until all restrictions thereon lapse. 11 13 7. Deferred Shares. The Board may authorize grants or sales of Deferred Shares to Participants upon such terms and conditions as the Board may determine in accordance with the following provisions: (a) Each grant or sale shall constitute the agreement by the Corporation to issue or transfer Common Shares to the Participant in the future in consideration of the performance of services, subject to the fulfillment during the Deferral Period of such conditions as the Board may specify. (b) Each grant or sale may be made without additional consideration from the Participant or in consideration of a payment by the Participant that is less than the Market Value per Share on the Date of Grant. (c) Each grant or sale (i) shall provide that the Deferred Shares covered thereby shall be subject to a Deferral Period, which shall be determined by the Board on the Date of Grant, and (ii), unless otherwise expressly determined in a resolution duly adopted by the Board on the Date of Grant or such later date on which the Board may ratify such grant or sale, shall provide for the earlier termination of the Deferral Period, and the immediate vesting of the Participant's rights to all of the Deferred Shares subject to the grant or sale, (1) if the Participant is a Nonaffiliate Director, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Corporation or (2) if the Participant is recognized by any Employer as a regular full time employee, upon the termination of the Participant's employment by an Employer without Cause during the Accelerated Vesting Period and also, in the case of a Participant who is an Executive, upon the termination of the Participant's employment by the Participant for Good Reason during the Accelerated Vesting Period; provided, however, that any such Accelerated Vesting Provision shall be deemed void ab initio and shall be of no force or effect, if it should be determined that any such provision would prevent a proposed merger or other business combination that is intended by the parties thereto (which may include either or both of the Parent and the Corporation) to be accounted for as a pooling of interests from being so accounted for. (d) During the Deferral Period, the Participant shall not have any rights of ownership in the Deferred Shares, shall not have any right to vote the Deferred Shares and, except as provided in Section 11(c), shall not have any right to transfer any rights under the subject award, but the Board may on or after the Date of Grant authorize the payment of dividend equivalents on the Deferred Shares in cash or additional Common Shares on a current, deferred or contingent basis. (e) Each grant or sale shall be evidenced by an agreement that shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by any officer thereof and delivered to and accepted by the Participant and shall contain such terms and provisions as the Board may determine consistent with this Plan. 8. Performance Shares and Performance Units. The Board may authorize grants of Performance Shares and Performance Units, which shall become payable to the Participant upon the achievement of specified Management Objectives, upon such terms and conditions as the Board may determine in accordance with the following provisions: 12 14 (a) Each grant shall specify the number of Performance Shares or Performance Units to which it pertains, which may be subject to adjustment to reflect changes in compensation or other factors. (b) The Performance Period with respect to each Performance Share or Performance Unit (i) shall be determined by the Board on the Date of Grant and (ii), unless otherwise expressly determined in a resolution duly adopted by the Board on the Date of Grant or such later date on which the Board may ratify such grant, shall provide for the earlier termination of the Performance Period, and the immediate vesting of the Participant's rights to all of the Performance Shares or Performance Units subject to the grant, (1) if the Participant is a Nonaffiliate Director, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Corporation or (2) if the Participant is recognized by any Employer as a regular full time employee, upon the termination of the Participant's employment by an Employer without Cause during the Accelerated Vesting Period and also, in the case of a Participant who is an Executive, upon the termination of the Participant's employment by the Participant for Good Reason during the Accelerated Vesting Period; provided, however, that any such Accelerated Vesting Provision shall be deemed void ab initio and shall be of no force or effect, if it should be determined that any such provision would prevent a proposed merger or other business combination that is intended by the parties thereto (which may include either or both of the Parent and the Corporation) to be accounted for as a pooling of interests from being so accounted for. (c) Each grant shall specify the Management Objectives that are to be achieved by the Participant, which may be described in terms of Corporation-wide objectives or objectives that are related to the performance of the individual Participant or the Subsidiary, division, department or function within the Corporation or Subsidiary in which the Participant is employed or with respect to which the Participant provides consulting services. (d) Each grant shall specify in respect of the specified Management Objectives a minimum acceptable level of achievement below which no payment will be made and shall set forth a formula for determining the amount of any payment to be made if performance is at or above the minimum acceptable level but falls short of full achievement of the specified Management Objectives. (e) Each grant shall specify the time and manner of payment of Performance Shares or Performance Units that shall have been earned, and any grant may specify that any such amount may be paid by the Corporation in cash, Common Shares or any combination thereof and may either grant to the Participant or reserve to the Board the right to elect among those alternatives; provided, however, that no form of consideration or manner of payment that would cause Rule 16b-3 to cease to apply to this Plan shall be permitted. (f) Any grant of Performance Shares shall specify that no amount payable with respect thereto shall be required to be paid to the extent that such payment would not be permitted under, or would constitute a breach or violation of, any indenture, loan agreement or other instrument or agreement to which the Corporation is a party, or by which it is bound, and also may specify that the amount payable with respect thereto may not exceed a maximum specified by the Board on the Date of Grant. Any grant of Performance Units shall specify that no amount payable with respect thereto shall be required to be paid to the extent that such 13 15 payment would not be permitted under, or would constitute a breach or violation or, any indenture, loan agreement or other instrument or agreement to which the Corporation is a party or by which it is bound, and also may specify that the amount payable, or the number of Common Shares issuable, with respect thereto may not exceed a maximum specified by the Board on the Date of Grant (g) On or after the Date of Grant of Performance Shares, the Board may provide for the payment to the Participant of dividend equivalents thereon in cash or additional Common Shares on a current, deferred or contingent basis. (h) The Board may adjust Management Objectives and the related minimum acceptable level of achievement if, in the sole judgment of the Board, events or transactions have occurred after the Date of Grant that are unrelated to the performance of the Participant and result in distortion of the Management Objectives or the related minimum acceptable level of achievement. (i) Each grant shall be evidenced by an agreement that shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by any officer thereof and delivered to and accepted by the Participant and shall contain such terms and provisions as the Board may determine consistent with this Plan. 9. Corporation's Repurchase Right. Upon cessation of a Participant's employment with the Corporation, Subsidiary or Designated Affiliate prior to the Initial Public Offering, regardless of the circumstances thereof, and including without limitation upon death, disability, retirement, discharge or resignation for any reason or no reason, and whether voluntary or involuntarily, the Corporation, or an assignee of the Corporation, shall have the right to repurchase from the Participant (or, (i) if the Participant is then deceased, from the Participant's estate or (ii) if the Participant has transferred shares pursuant to Section 11(d), from the Participant's transferee (a "Permitted Transfer")) any and all Common Shares that are to be, or have been, issued or transferred by the Corporation upon the exercise of Option Rights or Appreciation Rights, upon the termination of the Deferral Period applicable to Deferred Shares or upon payment under any grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units, or are to be no longer subject to the substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer referred to in Section 6 of this Plan then held by the Participant (or his or her estate or his or her Permitted Transferee) at a repurchase price per Common Share equal to the Market Value per Share on the date of repurchase; provided, however, that this repurchase right initially applies only to Common Shares that have been held by a Participant for more than six months as of the date of cessation of the Participant's employment and, with respect to Common Shares that have not been held for more than six months, shall be extended to the date six months after the date upon which such shares are acquired. The Corporation may exercise its repurchase right by paying to the Participant (or his or her estate or his or her Permitted Transferee) the aggregate amount of such repurchase price in cash within 30 days following the date of such cessation of the Participant's employment (or following the date upon which the Common Shares have been held for six months, if later), and the Participant (or his or her estate or his or her Permitted Transferee) shall endorse and deliver to the Corporation the certificate(s) representing the Common Shares so repurchased. Until the consummation of an Initial Public Offering, certificates representing all such Common Shares issued to Participants under the Plan, 14 16 together with a stock power that shall be endorsed in blank by the Participant, shall be held in custody by the Corporation. 10. First Refusal Rights; Market Stand-Off. (a) Prior to the Initial Public Offering, the Corporation shall have the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed sale or other disposition by the holder of any Common Shares that are to be, or have been, issued or transferred by the Corporation upon the exercise of Option Rights or Appreciation Rights, upon the termination of the Deferral Period applicable to Deferred Shares or upon payment under any grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units, or are to be no longer subject to the substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer referred to in Section 6 of this Plan. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the agreement evidencing such award; provided, however, that this right of first refusal applies only to Common Shares that have been held by a Participant for more than six months. (b) In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Corporation of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, including the Initial Public Offering, a person shall not sell, or make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer for value or otherwise agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Common Shares that are to be, or have been, issued or transferred by the Corporation upon the exercise of Option Rights or Appreciation Rights, upon the termination of the Deferral Period applicable to Deferred Shares or upon payment under any grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units, or are to be no longer subject to the substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer referred to in Section 6 of this Plan without the prior written consent of the Corporation or its underwriters. 11. Transferability. (a) Except as otherwise determined by the Board, no Option Right, Appreciation Right or other derivative security granted under this Plan shall be transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, except as otherwise determined by the Board, Option Rights and Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable during a Participant's lifetime only by the Participant or his or her guardian or legal representative. (b) Prior to the Initial Public Offering, no holder of any Common Shares that have been issued or transferred by the Corporation upon the exercise of Option Rights or Appreciation Rights, upon the termination of the Deferral Period applicable to Deferred Shares, upon payment under any grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units, or are no longer subject to the substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer referred to in Section 6 of this Plan, shall sell or transfer such Common Shares during a period of six months following their issue or transfer by the Corporation in order to permit the Corporation to exercise the right of first refusal described in Section 10(a) of this Plan. (c) The Board also may specify at the Date of Grant that all or any part of the Common Shares that are to be issued or transferred by the Corporation upon the exercise of Option Rights or Appreciation Rights, upon the termination of the Deferral Period applicable to Deferred Shares or upon payment under any grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units, 15 17 or are to be no longer subject to the substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer referred to in Section 6 of this Plan, shall be subject to further restrictions on transfer. (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11(a), Option Rights (other than Incentive Stock Options), Appreciation Rights, Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares, Performance Shares and Performance Units shall be transferable by a Participant, without payment of consideration therefor by the transferee, to any one or more members of the Participant's Immediate Family (or to one or more trusts established solely for the benefit of one or more members of the Participant's Immediate Family or to one or more partnerships in which the only partners are members of the Participant's Immediate Family); provided, however, that (i) no such transfer shall be effective unless reasonable prior notice thereof is delivered to the Corporation and such transfer is thereafter effected in accordance with any terms and conditions that shall have been made applicable thereto by the Corporation or the Board and (ii) any such transferee shall be subject to the same terms and conditions hereunder as the Participant. 12. Adjustments. The Board may make or provide for such adjustments in the number of Common Shares covered by outstanding Option Rights, Appreciation Rights, Deferred Shares and Performance Shares granted hereunder, the Option Prices per Common Share or Base Prices per Common Share applicable to any such Option Rights and Appreciation Rights, and the kind of shares (including shares of another issuer) covered thereby, as the Board may in good faith determine to be equitably required in order to prevent dilution or expansion of the rights of Participants that otherwise would result from (a) any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Corporation or (b) any merger, consolidation, spin-off, spin-out, split-off, split-up, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase securities or any other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing. In the event of any such transaction or event, the Board may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding awards under this Plan such alternative consideration as it may in good faith determine to be equitable under the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of all awards so replaced. On or after the Date of Grant of any award under this Plan, the Board may provide in the agreement evidencing the award that the holder of the award may elect to receive an equivalent award in respect of securities of the surviving entity of any merger, consolidation or other transaction or event having a similar effect, or the Board may provide that the holder will automatically be entitled to receive such an equivalent award. The Board may also make or provide for such adjustments in the numbers of Common Shares specified in Sections 3(a)(i), 3(a)(ii), 3(b), and 3(c) of this Plan as the Board may in good faith determine to be appropriate in order to reflect any transaction or event described in this Section 12. 13. Fractional Shares. The Corporation shall not be required to issue any fractional Common Shares pursuant to this Plan. The Board may provide for the elimination of fractions or for the settlement thereof in cash. 14. Withholding Taxes. To the extent that the Corporation is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by a Participant or other person under this Plan, and the amounts available to the Corporation for the withholding are insufficient, it shall be a condition to the receipt of any such payment or the 16 18 realization of any such benefit that the Participant or such other person make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation for payment of the balance of any taxes required to be withheld. At the discretion of the Board (to the extent permitted under any agreements, including without limitation indentures or other financing agreements, to which the Corporation may be a party), any such arrangements may include relinquishment of a portion of any such payment or benefit. In no event, however, shall the Corporation accept Common Shares for payment of taxes in excess of required tax withholding rates, except that, in the discretion of the Board (to the extent permitted under any agreements, including without limitation indentures or other financing agreements, to which the Corporation may be a party), a Participant may surrender Common Shares held for more than six months to satisfy any tax obligation resulting from any such transaction. 15. Certain Terminations of Employment, Hardship and Approved Leaves of Absence. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, in the event of termination of employment by reason of death, disability, normal retirement, early retirement with the consent of the Corporation, termination of employment to enter public service with the consent of the Corporation or leave of absence approved by the Corporation, or in the event of hardship or other special circumstances, of a Participant who holds an Option Right or Appreciation Right that is not immediately and fully exercisable, any Restricted Shares as to which the substantial risk of forfeiture or the prohibition or restriction on transfer has not lapsed, any Deferred Shares as to which the Deferral Period is not complete, any Performance Shares or Performance Units that have not been fully earned, or any Common Shares that are subject to any transfer restriction pursuant to Section 11(c) of this Plan, the Board may take any action that it deems to be equitable under the circumstances or in the best interests of the Corporation, including but not limited to waiving or modifying any limitation or requirement with respect to any award under this Plan. 16. Foreign Participants. In order to facilitate the making of any award or combination of awards under this Plan, the Board may provide for such special terms for awards to Participants who are foreign nationals, or who are employed by or engaged as consultants to the Corporation, any Subsidiary or any Designated Affiliate outside of the United States of America, as the Board may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. In addition, the Board may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of, this Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of this Plan as in effect for any other purpose; provided, however, that no such supplements, amendments, restatements or alternative versions shall include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as then in effect, unless this Plan could have been amended to eliminate the inconsistency without further approval by the stockholders of the Corporation. 17. Administration of the Plan. (a) This Plan shall be administered by the Board, which may from time to time delegate all or any part of its authority under this Plan to a committee of the Board consisting of two or more members of the Board, or a subcommittee of a committee of the Board consisting exclusively of two or more "Non-Employee Directors" (as defined in Rule 16b-3), appointed by the Board. A majority of the committee (or subcommittee) shall constitute a quorum, and the action of the members of the committee (or subcommittee) present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, or acts unanimously approved in writing, 17 19 shall be the acts of the committee (or subcommittee). To the extent of any such delegation, references in this Plan to the Board shall be deemed to be references to any such committee or subcommittee. (b) The Board may from time to time reserve a specified number of Common Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12 of this Plan, for grants of Nonqualified Options to Participants who have agreed to commence employment with the Corporation or any Subsidiary and may delegate to one or more officers of the Corporation the authority to determine the Participants to whom such Nonqualified Options shall be granted, and to determine the number of such Common Shares to which any such Nonqualified Option shall pertain, subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan and the terms and conditions of an agreement evidencing any such Nonqualified Option and approved by resolution of the Board at the time of such delegation. For the purposes of Section 4(b) of this Plan, as it relates to any Nonqualified Option that shall be granted pursuant to this Section 17(b), (i) the Date of Grant shall be the date on which the Participant agrees to accept employment with the Corporation or any Subsidiary, which may precede the date on which the Participant's employment actually commences (or, if such date is not specified in the Participant's employment offer and acceptance materials, the Date of Grant will be the commencement date of such Participant's employment with the Corporation or any Subsidiary), and (ii) the Market Value per Share on the Date of Grant shall be the closing price of the Common Shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the last trading day immediately preceding the Date of Grant. (c) The interpretation and construction by the Board of any provision of this Plan or any agreement, notification or document evidencing the grant of Option Rights, Appreciation Rights, Restricted Shares, Deferred Shares, Performance Shares or Performance Units, and any determination by the Board pursuant to any provision of this Plan or any such agreement, notification or document, shall be final and conclusive. No member of the Board shall be liable for any such action taken or determination made in good faith. 18. Amendments and Other Matters. (a) The Board may at any time and from time to time amend this Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that (1) any amendment that must be approved by the stockholders of the Corporation in order to comply with applicable law or the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Shares are traded or quoted shall not be effective unless and until such approval has been obtained and (2) the provisions of Sections 4(g), 7(c) and 8(b), including but not limited to clause (ii) of each of these Sections, may not be amended following a Change of Control in any way that would adversely affect the rights of holders of awards granted under Sections 4, 7 and 8 hereof. (b) With the concurrence of the affected Participant, the Board may cancel any agreement evidencing Option Rights or any other award granted under this Plan. In the event of any such cancellation, the Board may authorize the granting of new Option Rights or other awards hereunder, which may or may not cover the same number of Common Shares as had been covered by the canceled Option Rights or other award, at such Option Price, in such manner and subject to such other terms, conditions and discretion as would have been permitted under this Plan had the canceled Option Rights or other award not been granted. 18 20 (c) The Board may grant under this Plan any award or combination of awards authorized under this Plan, including but not limited to Replacement Option Rights, in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of an award that was not granted under this Plan (including but not limited to an award that was granted by the Corporation or a Subsidiary, or by another corporation that is acquired by the Corporation or a Subsidiary by merger or otherwise, prior to the adoption of this Plan by the Board), and any such award or combination of awards so granted under this Plan may or may not cover the same number of Common Shares as had been covered by the canceled award and shall be subject to such other terms, conditions and discretion as would have been permitted under this Plan had the canceled award not been granted. (d) This Plan shall not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment or other service with the Corporation, any Subsidiary or Designated Affiliate and shall not interfere in any way with any right that the Corporation, any Subsidiary or Designated Affiliate would otherwise have to terminate any Participant's employment or other service at any time. (e) To the extent that any provision of this Plan would prevent any Option Right that was intended to qualify as a Tax-Qualified Option from so qualifying, any such provision shall be null and void with respect to any such Option Right; provided, however, that any such provision shall remain in effect with respect to other Option Rights, and there shall be no further effect on any provision of this Plan. (f) The Board may also permit Participants to elect to defer the issuance of Common Shares or the settlement of awards in cash under this Plan pursuant to such procedures, programs or rules as the Board may establish for the purposes of this Plan. The Board may also provide that deferred issuances and settlements include the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents or interest on the deferral amounts. (g) The Board may condition the grant of any award or combination of awards authorized under this Plan on the surrender or deferral by the Participant of his or her right to receive a cash bonus or other compensation otherwise payable by the Corporation or a Subsidiary to the Participant. (h) All grants, exercises and sales of securities of the Corporation made pursuant to this Plan must be made in compliance with (and may be modified without the consent of the grantee to assure compliance with) all applicable foreign, federal and state laws. 19 EX-10.6 9 ex10-6.txt AMENDED & RESTATED EQUIP FINANCING PLAN 1 EXHIBIT 10.6 EXECUTION VERSION AMENDED AND RESTATED EQUIPMENT FINANCING AGREEMENT dated as of April 28, 2000 by and between MCCAW INTERNATIONAL (BRAZIL), LTD. and MOTOROLA CREDIT CORPORATION 2

The Company may prepay Advances, in whole or in part, in integral multiples of $100,000 upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Creditor of the principal amount to be prepaid and the date of such prepayment. On the date specified for prepayment the Company shall pay such principal amount plus accrued interest on such principal amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the conditions set forth in subsection 2.05(c) hereof shall be simultaneously satisfied, LIBOR Advances may be only repaid on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Advance. A notice of prepayment once received shall be irrevocable and binding on the Company. (c) Broken Funding Indemnification. The Company shall pay to the Creditor such amount or amounts as shall compensate the Creditor for any loss, cost or expense incurred by the Creditor (as reasonably determined and documented by the Creditor) as a result of: (i) any prepayment or repayment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Advance; or (ii) any failure by the Company to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the Drawdown Date specified in the relevant Request for Financing under Section 2.02 hereof, such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to: (x) any loss or expense suffered by the Creditor during the period from such failure to borrow to the last day of such Interest Period if the rate of interest obtainable by the Creditor upon the redeployment of an amount of funds equal to the amount not borrowed is less than the rate of interest applicable to such LIBOR Advance for such Interest Period or (y) any loss or expense suffered by the Creditor in liquidating LIBOR deposits to maturity. The Company shall pay any amount due hereunder no later than seven (7) days after receipt of an invoice therefor from the Creditor. (d) Effect of Prepayment. All Advances prepaid, whether by mandatory or optional prepayment, may not be reborrowed. (e) Certain Reimbursements In Respect of Prepayments. Without affecting the obligations of the Company set forth above, the Creditor acknowledges that (i) the primary source of funds for the prepayments described above will be revenue generated in Brazil by the -25- 32 operations of the Foreign Affiliates and that the Company expects to make any required prepayments from corresponding prepayment amounts which Nextel S.A. is obligated to make to the Company under the Conditional Sale Agreements, and (ii) the transferring of the amounts for such prepayments under the Conditional Sale Agreements will be subject to the approval of the Central Bank in Brazil. In the event that (i) (x) the Company is prohibited by applicable law from maintaining a Foreign Resident Account or (y) the use of such Foreign Resident Account would result in a significant cost to the Company, and (ii) the approval of the Central Bank is not obtained within the applicable periods provided for above (notwithstanding the reasonable efforts of the Company and Nextel S.A. to obtain such approval), Nextel International may make an intercompany loan to the Company in the amount of such prepayment no later than 151 days after the end of such fiscal year. Simultaneously with the receipt of such intercompany loan, the Company shall use the proceeds thereof to make the prepayment required pursuant to this Section 2.05. After making such prepayment and so long as no Default shall have occurred and is continuing under this Agreement, then such intercompany loan may be repaid directly or indirectly to Nextel International by the Company or Nextel S.A. pursuant to the terms of the Company Security Deposit Agreement and the Nextel Ltda. Security Deposit Agreement. Section 2.06. Interest.

Accrued interest on each of the Advances shall be paid in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest that is payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand of the Creditor. (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of an interest rate for any LIBOR Advance for any Interest Period therefor, the Creditor reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error): (i) by reason of any event affecting the money markets in the United States of America or the London interbank market, quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining the rate of interest for such LIBOR Advances under this Agreement; or (ii) the rates of interest referred to in the definition of "LIBOR Base Rate" in Section 1.01 hereof upon the basis of which the rate of interest on any LIBOR Advance for such period is determined, do not accurately reflect the cost to the Creditor of making or maintaining such LIBOR Advance for such period, -26- 33 then the Creditor shall give the Company prompt notice thereof (and shall thereafter give the Company prompt notice of the cessation, if any, of such condition), and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Creditor shall be under no obligation to make LIBOR Advances or to convert Prime Advances into LIBOR Advances pursuant to subsection 2.02(a) hereof and the Company shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding LIBOR Advances either prepay such LIBOR Advances in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof or convert such LIBOR Advances in Prime Advances. (c) Without prejudice to the provisions of Section 11.02 hereof, in the event of default by the Company in payment of any principal amount of the Advances or interest thereon when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the Company shall pay to the Creditor interest on such past due and unpaid principal amount and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) on such defaulted interest from the due date until the date of payment in full (both before as well as after judgment), at the Post-Default Rate. In addition, the Company shall indemnify the Creditor against any loss or expense which it may sustain or incur as a direct consequence of the default by the Company in payment of any principal amount of the Advances or interest thereon. Each determination of any loss or expense by the Creditor under this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. (d) Interest on all Prime Advances shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365/366 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last) occurring in the period for which payable and interest on all LIBOR Advances shall be computed on the basis of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last) occurring in the period for which payable.

The proceeds of the Final Advance shall be paid by the Creditor directly to Motorola Credit Corporation. Section 2.09. Change in Law. If any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof has made (or has made it apparent that it is) unlawful for any Credit Party to perform any of obligations under any of the Credit Documents and such change could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect then (i) the Creditor shall be discharged from all obligation to make, renew or maintain the Advances, and (ii) the Company shall on demand pay to the Creditor without premium or penalty the outstanding principal amount of the Advances together with accrued interest thereon and all other moneys due to the Creditor hereunder; provided that for so long as the Company is diligently pursuing the contest of the same by appropriate proceedings and such contest could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP, then the Creditor shall not be so discharged and the Company shall not be required to so pay upon demand.

Amounts payable hereunder shall be due seven (7) days after invoice therefor. (b) The protection of subsection 3.02(a) hereof shall apply to voluntary compliance by the Creditor with restraints, guidelines or policies not having the force of law and shall apply if the Creditor shall comply with any law, regulation or condition irrespective of any possible contention of invalidity or non-applicability thereof. (c) The Creditor will promptly (but in no event later than twenty (20) days after actual knowledge of the occurrence of the event described in subsection 3.02(a) hereof) inform the Company by facsimile of its intention to claim indemnification under this Section 3.02. The facsimile statement of the Creditor as to the amount sufficient to indemnify the Creditor against any increased cost, reduction or payment incurred, suffered or made by the Creditor, supported by the computations made by the Creditor in arriving at such figure, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the amount thereof and binding on Company. A claim made under this Section 3.02 may be made before or after the end of the Interest Period to which such claim relates and before or after any repayment of all or part of the Advance to which such Interest Period relates; provided, that the Company shall in no event be liable for any payment under this Section 3.02 with respect to more than one Interest Period for each claim made under this Section 3.02. An increased cost shall be an increased cost for the purpose of subsection 3.02(a) hereof even if the payment or quantification of such increased cost is not or cannot be made until after the expiry of any Interest Period to which it relates. -29- 36 (d) In the event of any such change or request as is contemplated by subsection 3.02(a) hereof the Creditor will use reasonable endeavors to mitigate the effect or likely effect of such change or request by transferring the LIBOR Advances to another jurisdiction or otherwise; provided, however, that the Creditor shall be under no obligation to transfer the LIBOR Advances to another jurisdiction or to take any other action to mitigate the effect or likely effect of such change or request if, in the reasonable opinion of the Creditor, such transfer or other action could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect upon the Creditor, whether as a result of taxes, credit policies, political considerations or otherwise; provided, further, that the Company shall reimburse the Creditor on demand for all expenses (including attorney's fees) incurred by the Creditor in effecting such transfer (if such transfer is requested by the Company) and the Creditor shall have no obligation to effect any such transfer unless the Creditor is satisfied that it will not suffer any adverse consequences as a result of such transfer for which it has not been indemnified by the Company. If the Creditor is entitled to reimbursement under this subsection 3.02(d) for any cost, the Creditor shall deliver to the Company a statement of the nature and amount of such cost which statement shall constitute prima facie evidence as to the amount due to the Creditor under this subsection 3.02(d).

Section 11.03. Cumulative Rights. No failure or delay on the part of the Creditor in exercising any right, power or remedy accruing to it upon any breach or default of the Company under any of the Credit Documents shall impair any such right, power or remedy nor shall it be construed as a waiver of any such breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall a waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by law, all remedies, either under the Credit Documents or by law otherwise afforded the Creditor shall be cumulative and not alternative. Section 11.04.
