dated as of February 22, 2006

Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of February 1, 2005 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; the terms defined therein, unless otherwise defined herein, being used herein as therein defined) among ALASKA COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS HOLDINGS, INC., as borrower (the “Borrower”), ALASKA COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS GROUP, INC. as parent (the “Parent”), the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time party thereto, as lenders (the “Lenders”), CANADIAN IMPERIAL BANK OF COMMERCE, acting through its New York Agency (“CIBC”), as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), CIBC WORLD MARKETS CORP. (“CIBC WM”), J.P. MORGAN SECURITIES INC. and BANC OF AMERICA SECURITIES LLC, as Co-Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers (in such capacity, the “Arrangers”), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., (“JPM”) as Syndication Agent and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Documentation Agent. CIBC WM and JPM are acting as co-lead arrangers and joint book managers (in such capacity, the “Co-Arrangers”, and together with the Administrative Agent, the “Agents”) with respect to the 2006 Incremental Loans (as defined below).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

The Borrower has informed the Agents that it intends to purchase up to $56,950,000 principal amount of Senior Unsecured Notes, which Senior Unsecured Notes will be retired immediately following such purchase (each a “2006 Senior Unsecured Note Redemption” and, together the “2006 Senior Unsecured Note Redemptions”).

Pursuant to Section 2.01(c) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower has requested the implementation of an incremental facility, in up to two Series, in an amount not to exceed the amount required to purchase and redeem Senior Unsecured Notes in the 2006 Senior Unsecured Note Redemptions and pay premiums, fees and expenses related thereto (with the amount requested for each such redemption being referred to herein as a “Funding”); provided that the aggregate principal amount of such implemented incremental facility shall not exceed $56,950,000 (the “2006 Incremental Facility”), and the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Lenders are willing to effect such implementation on and subject to the terms of this Consent and Amendment No. 2.

In addition, the Borrower, the Parent and the Required Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement to consent to the exclusion of the 2006 Senior Unsecured Note Redemptions from certain requirements of the covenants in the Credit Agreement and the 2006 Incremental Facility from the maximum amount of the Incremental Loans and Incremental Loan Commitments, all on and subject to the terms of this Consent and Amendment No. 2.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed, effective as of the dates set forth in Section 4, as follows:

SECTION 1. Consent. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 6.08(b)(vii)(B) of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders hereby consent, and each of the 2006 Incremental Loan Lenders (as defined below) hereby agrees and is deemed to consent, to (a) the 2006 Senior Unsecured Note Redemptions, and (b) the exclusion from the calculation of Cumulative Distributable Cash of up to $56,950,000 aggregate principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes redeemed in a 2006 Senior Unsecured Note Redemption plus premiums, fees and expenses related thereto for each period affected thereby.

SECTION 2. Incremental Loan Amendment.

(a) The Borrower and each Incremental Loan Lender referred to on the signatures pages hereto (the “2006 Incremental Loan Lenders”) agrees that each 2006 Incremental Loan Lender shall severally make an Incremental Loan (collectively, the “2006 Incremental Loans”), in up to two Series, to the Borrower during the period from and after the Consent and Amendment No. 2 Effective Date (as defined below) to the 2006 Incremental Loan Commitment Termination Date (as defined below), subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement (including Sections 4.02 and 4.03 thereof), in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding such Lender’s Incremental Loan Commitment set forth on the lender addendum to Consent and Amendment No. 2 (the “2006 Incremental Loan Commitments”). To the extent the 2006 Incremental Loans are made in an amount that is less than the 2006 Incremental Loan Commitments, each 2006 Incremental Loan Lender shall fund its pro rata percentage of such 2006 Incremental Loans based on the percentage that such 2006 Incremental Loan Lender’s 2006 Incremental Loan Commitments bears to the total 2006 Incremental Loan Commitments. The 2006 Incremental Loans shall (i) have identical terms with, (ii) be deemed and treated as, and (iii) have the same rights and obligations under the Loan Documents as, the Term Loans, except (x) all 2006 Incremental Loans shall mature on February 1, 2012 (the “2006 Incremental Loan Maturity Date”), and (y) on the date of each Funding, the 2006 Incremental Loan Commitments shall be permanently reduced by an amount equal to the amount of such Funding and in any event will terminate no later than March 17, 2006 (the “2006 Incremental Loan Commitment Termination Date”). For the avoidance of doubt it is expressly understood and agreed that (i) all holders of 2005 Incremental Loans and all holders of 2006 Incremental Loans shall be deemed and treated as, and have the same rights and obligations under the Loan Documents as, the Term Lenders, (ii) each of the 2005 Incremental Loans and the 2006 Incremental Loans shall be deemed as an increase in the Term Loans, and (iii) any calculations or determinations under the Credit Agreement which reference both Term Loans and Incremental Loans shall be determined or calculated without duplication of the Term Loans and the Incremental Loans.

(b) Each 2006 Incremental Loan Lender that is not already a party to the Credit Agreement (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Consent and Amendment No. 1, dated as of July 15, 2005), together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 5.01 thereof and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Consent and Amendment No. 2; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement; (iii) represents and warrants that its name set forth on the signature page hereto is its exact legal name; (iv) appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; (v) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender; (vi) attaches any U.S. Internal Revenue Service forms required under Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement, and (vii) upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4 below and delivery of a duly executed Consent and Amendment No. 2 to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and recording, and such acceptance and recording by the Administrative Agent, as of the Consent and Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, each such 2006 Incremental Loan Lender shall be a party to the Credit Agreement and, to the extent provided in this Consent and Amendment No. 2, have the rights and obligations of, and be deemed for all purposes, a Lender thereunder.

A “Repricing Transaction” means the incurrence by any Loan Party of any Indebtedness (including, without limitation, any new or additional term loans under this Agreement) that is secured or is broadly marketed or syndicated to banks and other institutional investors in financings similar to the facilities herein (i) having an effective interest rate margin or weighted average yield (to be determined by the Administrative Agent consistent with generally accepted financial practice, after giving effect to, among other factors, margins, upfront or similar fees or original issue discount shared with all lenders or holders thereof, but excluding the effect of any arrangement, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all lenders or holders thereof and excluding any effects of changes in the Alternate Base Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate) that is less than the Applicable Rate for, or weighted average yield (to be determined by the Administrative Agent on the same basis and excluding any effects of changes in the Alternate Base Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate) of, the Term Loans and (ii) the proceeds of which are sufficient to, and are used to, prepay all outstanding principal of all Term Loans.”
