(c)           Payment.  For each Equipment Advance (other than any Term Loans) outstanding during the Draw Period, Borrower shall make monthly payments of accrued interest commencing on the fifth calendar day of each month in the Draw Period.  The Equipment Advances (other than any Term Loans) outstanding on each of June 30, 2011, September 30, 2011, December 30, 2011 and January 31, 2011 shall be converted into a term loan (each, a “Term Loan”).  On the fifth day of the first month following such conversion to a Term Loan and for each calendar month thereafter, Borrower shall make thirty six (36) equal monthly installment payments constituting principal plus accrued interest on such Term Loan.  The entire principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest on all of the Term Loans are due on May 11, 2012; provided, however, that, if all Required PUC Consents have been obtained on or prior to July 31, 2011 and Borrower has delivered the Updated Regulatory Opinion to Bank on or prior to July 31, 2011, the maturity date on the Term Loans shall no longer be May 11, 2012, but the entire principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest on (i) the Term Loan converted on June 30, 2011 shall be due and payable on November 5, 2014, (ii) the Term Loan converted on September 30, 2011 shall be due and payable on October 5, 2014, (iii) the Term Loan converted on December 30, 2011 shall be due and payable on January 5, 2015 and (iv) the Term Loan converted on January 31, 2012 shall be due and payable on February 5, 2015.

2.3          Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.

 

(a)           Equipment Advance.  Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the outstanding principal balance of each Equipment Advance shall bear interest (computed daily on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed), at a variable rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 1.00%.

 

(b)           Late Fee/Default Rate.  All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to five percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default, provided, that Borrower shall not pay such late charge to the extent if the failure to make any such payment when due arises solely from either (i) Bank’s failure to effect timely automatic debits of the appropriate funds from an account of the Borrower at the Bank that has sufficient funds to make such payment where Borrower has expressly authorized such payment, or (ii) a technical malfunction of an auto debit from the Borrower’s account at Bank that has sufficient funds to make such payment where Borrower has authorized such payment; provided, further, that Borrower shall immediately make such payment when any such circumstance is no longer in effect.  If any payment is not made within 10 days after the date such payment is due, Borrower shall pay Bank a late fee equal to the lesser of (i) 5.0% of the amount of such unpaid amount or (ii) the maximum amount permitted to be charged under applicable law.

 

(c)           Payments.  Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.  All payments shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes or other charges imposed by any jurisdiction.  Payments will be made via auto debit from the Borrower’s account at Bank.

 

(d)           Computation. The applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased effective as of the day the Prime Rate is changed as provided in the definition thereof, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate.

 

(e)           Crediting Payments.  Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies.  After the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or other payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon Pacific Time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.  Any wire transfer or other payment received by Bank before 12:00 noon Pacific Time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on such Business Day.  Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.

 

2.4          Fees.  Borrower shall pay to Bank the following:

 

(a)           Facility Fee.  On the Closing Date, a fee equal to $42,000, which shall be nonrefundable;

 

(b)           Bank Expenses.  On the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses incurred through the Closing Date, and, after the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses, as and when they become due.

 

2.5          Term.  This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 12.8, shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations with respect to which no claim has been made) remain outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to terminate its obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement immediately and without notice

 

8



 

upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding termination, Bank’s Lien on the Collateral shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations are outstanding.  Upon the full payment of all Obligations under this Agreement (other than contingent indemnification obligations with respect to which no claim has been made) and termination of all of Bank’s commitments to make Credit Extensions, Bank shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, release the security interest in the Collateral granted under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

4.1          Grant of Security Interest.  Borrower grants and pledges to Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Collateral in order to secure prompt payment of any and all Obligations and in order to secure prompt performance by Borrower of Borrower’s covenants and duties under the Loan Documents.  Such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in Collateral acquired after the date hereof.

 

4.2          Delivery of Additional Documentation Required.  Borrower shall from time to time execute and deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, all Negotiable Collateral, all financing statements and other documents that Bank may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue perfected Bank’s security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, customer/mortgagee/landlord waivers. Borrower from time to time may deposit with Bank specific time deposit accounts to secure specific Obligations. Borrower authorizes Bank to hold such balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long as the Obligations are outstanding.

 

4.3          Right to Inspect.  Bank (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time during Borrower’s usual business hours but no more than once a year (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect Borrower’s Books and to make copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to verify Borrower’s financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral.

 

5.             REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

 

Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

 

5.1          Due Organization and Qualification.  Borrower and each Subsidiary is a corporation duly existing under the laws of the state in which it is incorporated and each is qualified and licensed to do business in any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be so qualified and where the failure to be qualified could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.2          Due Authorization; No Conflict.  The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents are within Borrower’s powers, have been duly authorized, are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in Borrower’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, and are not in conflict or constitute a default or an event of default under any Indebtedness or other material agreement by which Borrower is bound.

(j)            Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower.

 

Bank may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

 

9.2          Power of Attorney.  Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank’s designated officers, or employees) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to:  (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank’s possession; (b) dispose of any Collateral; (c) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrower’s policies of insurance; (d) sell, assign, transfer, pledge, compromise, discharge or otherwise dispose of any Collateral; (e) execute on behalf of Borrower any and all instruments, documents, financing statements and the like to perfect Bank’s interests in the Collateral and file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral; and (f) file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of Borrower; provided Bank may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrower on any of the documents described in clause (e) or (f) above, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred.  The appointment of Bank as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations with respect to which no claim has been made) have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide advances hereunder is terminated.

 

9.3          Bank Expenses.  If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the following after reasonable written notice to Borrower:  (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves as Bank deems necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.7 of this Agreement, and take any action

 

18



 

with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent.  Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral.  Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.  After the occurrence of an Event of Default which continues, Borrower shall reimburse Bank, upon demand, for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with any of the Loan Documents.

 

9.4          Bank’s Liability for Collateral.  Bank has no obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.  All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.

 

9.5          Remedies Cumulative.  Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative.  Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity.  No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver.  No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.  No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.  Borrower expressly agrees that this Section 9.5 may not be waived or modified by Bank by course of performance, conduct, estoppel or otherwise.

 

9.6          Demand; Protest.  Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Bank on which Borrower may in any way be liable.

 

10.          NOTICES.

 

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by a recognized overnight delivery service, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by telefacsimile to Borrower or to Bank, as the case may be, at its addresses set forth below:

12.                               GENERAL PROVISIONS.

 

12.1                        Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall bind all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by Borrower without Bank’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Bank’s sole discretion.  Bank shall have the right without the consent of Borrower to sell, transfer, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights and benefits hereunder, except to Person that is not an Eligible Assignee and is a direct competitor of Borrower.

 

12.2                        Indemnification.  Borrower shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bank and its officers, employees, and agents against:  (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (b) all losses or Bank Expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Bank, its officers, employees and agents as a result of or in any way arising out of, following, or consequential to transactions between Bank and Borrower whether under this Agreement, or otherwise (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees and expenses), except for losses caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

12.3                        Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Agreement.

 

12.4                        Severability of Provisions.  Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

 

12.5                        Amendments in Writing, Integration.  All amendments to or terminations of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents must be in writing.  All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if any, are merged into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

 

20



 

12.6                        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

12.7                        Correction of Loan Documents.  Bank may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.

 

12.8                        Survival.  All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations with respect to which no claim has been made) remain outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make any Credit Extension to Borrower.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of Borrower to indemnify Bank with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 12.2 shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Bank have run.

 

12.9                        Confidentiality.  In handling any confidential information, Bank and all employees and agents of Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that Bank exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby received or received pursuant to this Agreement except that disclosure of such information may be made (i) to the subsidiaries or Affiliates of Bank and its attorneys and other advisors and representatives in connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower or any Subsidiary, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans, provided that they have entered into a comparable confidentiality agreement in favor of Borrower, (iii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order; provided, however, that Bank, to the extent permitted by law, rule and regulations, and practicable and not burdensome to Bank, shall notify Borrower prior to such disclosure, (iv) to any governmental agency, regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority (including, without limitation, bank and securities examiners) having or claiming to have authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of Bank’s business or that of its affiliates in connection with the exercise of such authority or claimed authority; (v) as may be required in connection with the examination, audit or similar investigation of Bank and (vi) as Bank may determine in connection with the enforcement of any remedies hereunder.  Confidential information hereunder shall not include information that either:  (a) is in the public domain or in the knowledge or possession of Bank when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank through no fault of Bank; or (b) is disclosed to Bank by a third party, provided Bank does not have actual knowledge that such third party is prohibited from disclosing such information. The obligations of Bank under this Section 12.9 shall survive termination of this Agreement until the first anniversary of the termination of this Agreement.

 

12.10                 Patriot Act Notice.  Bank hereby notifies Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law on October 26, 2001) (the “ Patriot Act ”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes name and address and other information that will allow Bank, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

2350 Mission College Blvd., Suite 988

Santa Clara, CA 95054

 

Re:                               IntelePeer, Inc.

Equipment Term Loan

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as United States telecommunications regulatory counsel to IntelePeer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), in connection with the Loan and Security Agreement dated May 16, 2011 by and between Borrower and East West Bank (“Lender”) (the “Loan and Security Agreement”).  Unless otherwise defined herein, terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Loan and Security Agreement.

 

This opinion is rendered to you pursuant to Section 6.10 of the Loan and Security Agreement and it is limited to certain U.S. telecommunications regulatory matters specifically related to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, including amendments made by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, 47 U.S.C. § 151, et seq. (the “Communications Act”), and the rules, regulations, notices, and orders of the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) thereunder (the “FCC Rules” and, together with the Communications Act, the “Federal Telecommunications Laws”); and the comparable state statutes governing telecommunications (not including any state or other law or requirements pertaining to land use, rights-of-way, or the like), and the rules, regulations, and published policies, procedures, orders and decisions (the “State Telecommunications Laws”) of the agencies, boards, commissions or there governmental authorities with authority to regulate the provision of telecommunications services in the various states and the District of Columbia (the “State Regulatory Authorities”). The Federal Telecommunications Laws and the State Telecommunications Laws are collectively referred to herein as the “Telecommunications Laws” and the FCC and State Regulatory Authorities are collectively referred to herein as the “Regulatory Authorities” or each individually as a “Regulatory Authority.”  In this opinion we express no opinion and assume no responsibility as to the applicability of any other U.S., state, territorial, local, foreign, supranational, or regional laws or regulations, including, but not limited to, laws governing the corporate organization, authority to transact business, or tax liabilities of any party.

 

In this limited capacity and for the purposes of this Opinion, we have reviewed and such other documents and information as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to form the basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.  In our

 



 

examination of the Loan and Security Agreement, we have assumed: (i) the genuineness of all signatures; (ii) that where any signature that purports to have been made in a corporate, governmental, fiduciary or other capacity, the person who affixed such signature to such document had authority to do so; (iii) the due execution and delivery of each document submitted to us as an execution copy; (iv) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; (v) the conformity with the original of each documents submitted to us as an execution copy; and (vi) the conformity of all provisions, terms and conditions contained in each document submitted to us as an execution copy with the provisions, terms, and conditions contained in the executed final version of such document.  We have also assumed, without independent inquiry, that there are no agreements or understandings between or among the parties to the Loan and Security Agreement or third parties (other than those disclosed in the Loan and Security Agreement) that would expand, modify or otherwise affect the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement, or the rights or obligations of the parties thereto, and that the Loan and Security Agreement accurately and completely set forth the agreements of all parties thereto.

 

As to matters of fact, we have relied upon the factual representations and warranties of the Borrower in the Loan and Security Agreement and a certificate of an executive officer of the Borrower in connection with this opinion, a copy of which is attached hereto as Attachment 1 (the “Officer’s Certificate”).  Whenever in this opinion we limit our opinion to “to our Knowledge,” our statements are based solely on any information that actually became known to the telecommunications regulatory attorneys currently employed by this firm who are involved in representing the Borrower in connection with the Loan and Security Agreement in the course of their performance of services for Borrower.  Except as expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation (including, without limitation, conducting any review, search or investigation of any public files or records or dockets or any review of our files) to determine the existence or absence of any facts, and no inference as to our knowledge concerning such facts should be drawn from our reliance on the same in connection with the preparation and delivery of this opinion letter.

 

Although we have acted as telecommunications regulatory counsel in specific telecommunications regulatory matters for Borrower, we draw your attention to the fact that we have not undertaken any on-site or other physical inspections of its business or properties, and we have not independently verified the manner in which its business is or will be operated, and we have assumed based upon the Officer’s Certificate that Borrower does not offer or provide telecommunications and/or information services within the United States other than pursuant to the licenses, certificates, permits, registrations and authorizations identified in

 

2


 

Schedule A of the Officer’s Certificate (the “Communications Licenses”) except to the extent that such services are not regulated by the FCC or any State Regulatory Authority.

 

We are admitted to the District of Columbia Bar.  We draw your attention to the fact that the members of the firm involved in the preparation of this opinion letter are not admitted to practice in all of the States and, although generally familiar with the State Telecommunications Laws, are not experts in the laws of those jurisdictions, and we have not obtained opinions of local counsel in any of these jurisdictions.  For the purposes of this opinion, we have made such examination of the Telecommunications Laws as we have deemed necessary.  In the course of developing this opinion, we have examined only actions and approvals arising out of, relating to, or taken pursuant to the provisions of the Telecommunications Laws.

 

This opinion is given as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter occur or come to our attention or to assess the likelihood or effect of any event, including any proceeding or appeal which hereafter may be initiated by or before a Regulatory Authority or any federal or state court, or any changes in laws, rules, or regulations, or the interpretation of such, which may hereafter occur, or any changes in the terms of the transaction contemplated in the Loan and Security Agreement that may hereafter occur.

 

Based upon and limited to such examination and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth in this opinion, it is our opinion as of the date hereof that:

 

1.             No consent, approval or authorization of, or filing with, any Regulatory Authority is required that has not already been obtained or made for the due execution, delivery and performance as of the date hereof by Borrower of the Loan and Security Agreement, including, without limitation, the grant of Liens in the Collateral pursuant hereto.

 

2.             Neither the execution and delivery by Borrower of the Loan and Security Agreement nor the performance or compliance by Borrower with the terms and provisions thereof, violates any Telecommunications Laws.

 

The opinions expressed in this letter are subject in all respects to the following qualifications: (a) no opinion is rendered (except as expressly stated in the numbered paragraphs above) as to the compliance of Borrower now, in the past, or in the future with any or all conditions or other requirements of the Regulatory Authorities contained in the orders, if any, authorizing the operations of Borrower

 

3



 

or otherwise imposed by the Telecommunications Laws or Regulatory Authority policy, and we assume no obligation to ensure that Borrower comply with such conditions or requirements; (b) except as expressly stated in the numbered paragraphs above, no opinion is rendered as to the effect of any failure by Borrower to comply with any conditions or requirements of the Regulatory Authorities or the Telecommunications Laws; (c) this opinion speaks only to the transactions contemplated in the Loan and Security Agreement that are being consummated on, or prior to, the date hereof and does not address any transaction that may take place after the date hereof, including but not limited to the implementation or enforcement of some or all of the provisions of the Loan and Security Agreement that may require additional consents, approvals, authorizations, licenses, certificates, permits, or orders from or filings with any Regulatory Authority for the transfers of assets or ownership or control of Borrower; (d) no opinion is rendered as to matters not specifically referred to herein or to events which have not yet occurred and under no circumstances are you to infer from anything stated or not stated herein any opinion with respect to such matters; and (e) all opinions expressed in this letter are limited solely to the effect on the telecommunications business of Borrower of the Telecommunications Laws.

 

This opinion is given solely for the benefit of, and may be relied upon by, the Lender under the Loan and Security Agreement, and may not be quoted, used, relied upon, or referred to by any other party, nor redelivered to or relied upon by any governmental agency or any other person or entity, without the prior written consent of this firm, except for disclosure to successors and assigns of the addressees hereof as permitted under the Loan and Security Agreement.

2.             The business of Borrower is to provide telecommunications services and information services to consumers and businesses.  Borrower provides such services pursuant to the necessary authorizations, licenses, permits, certificates, registrations, approvals and other clearances of applicable Regulatory Authorities set forth on Schedule A, and currently offers local exchange, intrastate interexchange, interstate, and/or international telecommunications services in those jurisdictions listed on Schedule A.

 

3.             Borrower does not offer or provide telecommunications and/or information services within the United States other than pursuant to the Communications Licenses except to the extent that such services are not regulated by the FCC or any State Regulatory Authority.  All of the Communications Licenses required pursuant to the Telecommunications Laws for the Borrower to provide such services are listed on Schedule A.

 

This certificate is given with the express understanding that it will be relied upon by the law firm of Bingham McCutchen LLP, in rendering its Opinion Letter in connection with the Loan and Security Agreement. Bingham McCutchen LLP is entitled to rely on this certificate.
