Item 5. Other Events.
Galaxy Telecom, L.P. ("Galaxy") has received written notice on September
28, 2000 from Fleet National Bank, as agent of the lenders (the "Senior
Lenders"), under Galaxy's 1995 Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (as amended,
the "1995 Loan") and its 2000 Term Loan Agreement (the "2000 Loan" and
collectively with the Term Loan, the "Loan Agreements"), that the Senior Lenders
are exercising their rights to suspend payments of principal and/or interest for
up to 179 days from September 28, 2000 on Galaxy's $120,000,000 12-3/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2005 (the "Notes") due to a breach of a non-financial
obligation under the 1995 Loan Agreements. The basis for the assertion of a
breach and the exercise of the right to suspend payments on the Notes by the
Senior Lenders is Galaxy's failure to execute a definitive agreement for the
sale of Galaxy and an affiliate on or before July 31, 2000.
Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture dated as of September 28, 1995 (the
"Indenture") under which the Notes were issued, the Senior Lenders may suspend
payment of principal and/or interest to the holders of the Notes for a period of
up to 179 days from the date that notice is received upon the occurrence of a
breach by Galaxy of the terms of its senior loan agreement and notice by the
Senior Lenders to the trustee under the Indenture of their election to suspend
such payments.
