Each Existing Guarantor is a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Otelco. Pursuant to the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, Shoreham, jointly and severally with all of the Existing Guarantors, unconditionally guaranteed Otelco’s obligations under the notes issued pursuant to the Indenture (the “Notes”) and agreed to be bound by all other applicable provisions of the Indenture and the Notes.
