Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall be permitted to consummate the AKD Transaction subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) the delivery to the Administrative Agent of executed counterparts to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.12 hereof and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (ii)
7
the delivery to the Administrative Agent of evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion of the Borrowers, and their Subsidiaries, pro forma compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.5 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt and in accordance with Section 5.12 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall retain the right, upon the consummation of the AKD Transaction, to elect whether AKD shall become a Borrower or a Guarantor hereunder.
Section 5.17. UUI Acquisition. (i) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, and subject to Section 7.1(k) hereof, the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall be permitted to consummate the UUI Acquisition in accordance with the terms of the UUI Acquisition Documents as disclosed to the Administrative Agent and so long as such documents, as disclosed, are not amended or modified in any way without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent; provided that in no event shall the aggregate amount of cash (whether the proceeds of Loans or other cash on hand) and other assets of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries (other than cash or assets of the UUI Entities that are not Loan Parties) used directly or indirectly to directly or indirectly acquire the UUI Entities, any of the Capital Stock of the UUI Entities or any of the assets of the UUI Entities exceed the Maximum UUI Investment Amount; for the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate amount of proceeds of Loans, cash or assets of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries (other than cash or assets of the UUI Entities that are not Loan Parties) used directly or indirectly to directly or indirectly acquire the UUI Entities, any of the Capital Stock of the UUI Entities or any of the assets of the UUI Entities shall be Investments for purposes of Section 7.21.

(ii) The consummation of the UUI Acquisition is further conditioned upon the execution and delivery of a Pledge Amendment in substantially the same form as Exhibit B to that certain Borrower Pledge Agreement, dated as of August 31, 2005, by and between GCICC and the Administrative Agent, by which GCICC shall pledge to the Administrative Agent and shall grant to the Administrative Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders, a first priority security interest in all of the capital stock of the UUI Entities that is or shall be held by GCICC upon the consummation of the UUI Acquisition.

Section 5.19. Mortgages. Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent no later than (30) days following the last day of the Funding Period amended and restated mortgages securing the aggregate amount of all Loans, including but not limited to any Incremental Loans, under this Agreement.

In the event that GCI will be required to make any payment on account of any cash income Taxes attributable to the UUI Entities that are not Loan Parties, (i) the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries other than the UUI Entities that are not Loan Parties shall cause the UUI Entities that are not Loan Parties to make an aggregate cash Distribution to GCICC in an amount equal to the amount of such Tax payment that will be made by GCI that is attributable to income of the UUI Entities that are not Loan Parties, and (ii) GCICC shall make a cash Distribution to Holdings in the same amount as the cash Distribution received from such UUI Entities and, in turn, Holdings shall make a Restricted Payment of a cash Distribution to GCII in the same amount as the cash Distribution that Holdings received from such UUI Entity. For the avoidance of doubt, any such cash Distribution received by Holdings and in turn made to GCII shall reduce the amount of Distributions otherwise permitted to be made by the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries pursuant to clause (iii) of the second paragraph of Section 7.6(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that GCI has the ability to fund the aforementioned Tax payments on account of income attributable to the UUI Entities that are not Loan Parties from sources other than Restricted Payments from any of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, GCICC shall not be required to make a Distribution to Holdings and, in turn, Holdings shall not be required to make a Distribution to GCII.
9
(l) Indebtedness owed by a UUI Entity to another UUI Entity, so long as neither the obligor nor the obligee is a Loan Party hereunder.
(iii) so long as there exists no Default or Event of Default both before and after giving effect to such disposition, assets sales do not exceed an aggregate amount of $20,000,000 over the term of this Agreement.
provided that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower enter into any of the permitted transactions, as described more fully in clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 7.3(b), with any of the UUI Entities that are not Loan Parties at the time of such merger, consolidation or other transaction without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent; provided further that mergers and consolidations shall be permitted between UUI Entities, so long as each UUI Entity party to such merger or consolidation is not a Loan Party.
(iv) the Loan Parties may make intercompany loans and advances between and among one another (collectively, the Intercompany Loans), provided that each obligor and obligee in respect of such Intercompany Loan shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a counterpart of the Subordination Agreement or a joinder agreement making such obligor or obligee a party to the Subordination Agreement;
(v) the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries may make capital contributions to their Subsidiaries that are Loan Parties;
(vi) The Borrowers and their Subsidiaries (other than the non-Loan Party UUI Entities ) may (x) establish Subsidiaries in compliance with Section 5.12 and (y) make Investments in such Subsidiaries to the extent permitted by the other applicable clauses of this Section 7.4; provided that the UUI Entities that have not become Loan Parties hereunder may not establish any Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent;
(ix) the AKD Investment;
10
(x) the Loan Parties may make Investments in any UUI Entity that is not a Loan Party so long as the aggregate amount of all such Investments does not exceed the Maximum UUI Investment Amount or are made pursuant to Section 7.21(ii);
(xi) the UUI Entities may make intercompany loans and advances between and among one another so long as neither party to such intercompany loans or advances is a Loan Party;
(xii) any UUI Entity that is not a Loan Party may make capital contributions to its Subsidiaries;

(xiv) GCICC may make Investments of assets in any UUI Entity that is not a Loan Party so long as such Investment of assets is made with an asset received directly from a UUI Entity that is not a Loan Party (other than the UUI Entity into which GCICC is making such asset Investment) by GCICC immediately prior to the Investment of such asset by GCICC, and the Administrative Agent hereby releases any Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent that may otherwise attach to such asset Investment pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents; for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a UUI Entity that is not a Loan Party makes an asset distribution to GCICC that is not immediately used to make an asset Investment in another UUI Entity that is not a Loan Party, there shall be no release by the Administrative Agent of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents with respect to such asset.

For purposes of this Section 7.5(d), Maximum Capital Expenditure Amount shall mean, for each fiscal year of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, the amount set forth in the grid above opposite such fiscal year.
However, to the extent that the aggregate Capital Expenditures made or otherwise incurred by the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, are less than the Maximum Capital Expenditure Amount set forth above for such fiscal year (such difference, the 2008 Carryover Amount), then for the fiscal year that will commence on January 1, 2009 (the 2009 Fiscal Year), in addition to making or otherwise incurring aggregate Capital Expenditures in an amount up to the Maximum Capital Expenditure Amount for the 2009 Fiscal Year, the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis may expend or otherwise incur additional Capital Expenditures during the 2009 Fiscal Year in an aggregate amount not to exceed the 2008 Carryover Amount. For each fiscal year of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries commencing on or after January 1, 2010 (each such subsequent fiscal year, a Subsequent Fiscal Year), the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis may make or otherwise incur Capital Expenditures during a Subsequent Fiscal Year in an
12
aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of (x) the Maximum Capital Expenditure Amount for such Subsequent Fiscal Year and (y) the Prior Year Carryover Amount (as defined below) for such Subsequent Fiscal Year, if any. Except as set forth below, with respect to any fiscal year of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, the Prior Year Carryover Amount shall mean the Dollar amount equal to the lesser of (a) the Maximum Capital Expenditure Amount for the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries for the prior fiscal year and (b) the positive difference, if any, between (x) the sum of (i) the Maximum Capital Expenditure Amount for the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries for the prior fiscal year and (ii) the Prior Year Carryover amount for the prior fiscal year, if any, and (y) the aggregate amount of actual Capital Expenditures made or otherwise incurred by the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis during the prior fiscal year; provided, however, the Prior Year Carryover Amount for the fiscal year of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries that will commence on January 1, 2009, will be an amount equal to the 2008 Carryover Amount.
13
(ii) any transaction or series of transactions between one Loan Party and another Loan Party or between one UUI Entity and another UUI Entity, so long as no Loan Party engages in any such transaction with any UUI Entity that is not a Loan Party;
or (c) any negative pledge on the property of any UUI Entity under any UUI Debt Document.
and (d) the UUI Debt Documents.
Section 7.21. UUI Investments. (i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 7.4 and 7.6, and except as set forth in Section 7.21(ii) below, the Borrowers, GCII and their respective Subsidiaries (other than the UUI Entities that have not become Loan Parties) shall not make any direct or indirect Investments in the UUI Entities (other than Investments in UUI Entities that have become Loan Parties) in an aggregate amount exceeding the Maximum UUI Investment Amount; for the avoidance of doubt, any proceeds of Loans, any cash or any other assets of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries (other than the UUI Entities that have not become Loan Parties) used directly or indirectly (i) to directly or indirectly acquire the UUI Entities, any of the Capital Stock of any of the UUI Entities or any of the assets of the UUI Entities or (ii) to make any other Investment in any of the UUI Entities (other than Investments in any UUI
14
Entity that has become a Loan Party) after the consummation of the UUI Acquisition, in each case, shall constitute Investments for purposes of this provision. For the further avoidance of doubt, the amount of any cash Investment or asset Investment made by GCICC in accordance with the terms and restrictions of Sections 7.4(c)(xiii) and 7.4(c)(xiv), respectively, shall not constitute Investments for purposes of this Section 7.21(i).
(ii) Following the consummation of the UUI Acquisition, the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries (other than the UUI Entities that are not Loan Parties) may make additional Investments in the UUI Entities that are not Loan Parties in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time one million dollars ($1,000,000) for working capital purposes only, and such Investments shall not constitute Investments for purposes of Section 7.21(i).
Section 7.22. UUI Indebtedness. (i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.15, in no event shall the Borrowers, GCII or their Subsidiaries (other than the UUI Entities that have not become Loan Parties) be permitted to guarantee or otherwise become liable for Indebtedness of any kind of any UUI Entity that is not a Loan Party.
(ii) From and after the UUI Acquisition Date, the Borrowers shall not, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries (other than the UUI Entities) not to, permit the UUI Entities to:
(A) refinance or otherwise replace the indebtedness existing under the terms of the UUI Debt Documents relating to Indebtedness of the UUI Entities pursuant to Section 7.1(k)(i), in each case in accordance with the terms thereof, with indebtedness other than indebtedness to Rural Utilities Services and CoBank, ACB, as applicable, as lenders under the UUI Debt Documents;
(B) refinance or otherwise replace any indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.1(k)(ii) with indebtedness other than indebtedness to the initial lender or lenders providing such financing; and
(C) incur additional indebtedness in the event that the indebtedness of the UUI Entities under the UUI Debt Documents relating to Indebtedness of the UUI Entities pursuant to Section 7.1(k)(i) terminates or is otherwise satisfied other than as a result of a refinancing or replacement pursuant to subsection (A).
