Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among O2wireless Entities and Wachovia Bank, N.A.

Summary

This amendment, dated May 20, 2002, modifies the existing credit agreement between O2wireless Solutions, Inc. and its affiliates (the borrowers and guarantors) and Wachovia Bank, N.A. (the lender and agent). The amendment addresses a prior default by the borrower, which Wachovia agrees to waive under certain conditions. It also reduces the borrowing limits, sets a new expiry date of August 15, 2002, and terminates further loan and letter of credit availability. The parties confirm their authority and agreement to these changes.
