the Base Rate, or (3) if Collateral Agent has not received a Notice of Conversion
or Continuation at least three Business Days prior to the end of an Interest
Period for any portion of the Loans, then at the Base Rate from and after the end
of such Interest Period for such portion of the Loans. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that the Term Loans C have not been paid in full on or

     (c) Clauses (b)(ii) and (iii) of Section 2.05 of the Credit Agreement are
hereby amended to read in their entirety as follows:




     “(ii) Dispositions of Assets. Without limiting the obligation of
Borrowers under Section 7.03 to obtain the consent of the Required Lenders to any
Disposition not otherwise permitted hereunder, Borrowers agree (A) three (3)
Business Days prior to the occurrence of any Disposition, to deliver to
Collateral Agent (in sufficient copies for each Lender) a statement, certified by
a Duly Authorized Officer of Borrower Representative and in reasonable detail, of
the estimated amount of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Disposition and (B) that in
the event such Disposition is completed, Borrowers shall prepay the Loans as
follows and as provided in Section 2.05(c):




     (1) in the event such Disposition is a sale of any of the
Stations included in the Fisher Sale, on the date of such
Disposition, the Net Cash Proceeds of such Disposition shall be
applied first to the unpaid balance of the Term Loans C, until paid
in full;




     (2) except to the extent such proceeds are used by Borrowers (x)
to prepay the Term Loans C in accordance with 

Section 2.05(b)(ii)(l),
or (y) within the Restoration Period, to reinvest such proceeds in a



Fourth Amendment to Amended and 

Restated Credit Agreement– Page 6




 









 






substitute broadcast property reasonably acceptable to the Required
Lenders for a purchase price reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders,
on the date of such Disposition, an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the
Net Cash Proceeds of such Disposition received by Borrowers on the date of
such Disposition (exclusive, however, of Dispositions permitted under
Section 7.03(a) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000 in any
calendar year and Dispositions permitted under Section 7.03(b)) shall be
applied in accordance with Section 2.05(c); and




(3) thereafter, (except to the extent such proceeds are used by
Borrowers within the Restoration Period to reinvest such proceeds in a
substitute broadcast property reasonably acceptable to the Required
Lenders for a purchase price reasonably acceptable to the Required
Lenders) to the extent Borrowers shall receive Net Cash Proceeds under
deferred payment arrangements or investments entered into or received in
connection with any Disposition, an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate
amount of such Net Cash Proceeds, payable within two (2) Business Days
after such Borrower receives such funds shall be applied in accordance
with Section 2.05(c).




     “(iii) Mandatory Reductions in Revolving Credit Commitments. All
payments of principal under Section 2.05(b)(i), (b)(ii)(B)(2)
and (b)(ii)(B)(3) shall be
applied first to the Revolving Credit Loans until paid in full, and then to the Term
Loans, and all such payments in respect to the Revolving Credit Loans as a result of the
provisions of 2.05(b)(i), (b)(ii)(B)(2) and (b)(ii)(B)(3), shall effect a simultaneous
dollar-for-dollar permanent reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments;
provided, however, that at the time of receipt of such proceeds from Disposition,
Casualty Event or condemnation, Borrowers may notify Collateral Agent of their intention
to use such proceeds for reinvestments permitted by this Agreement during the Restoration
Period, in which event (i) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments will be reduced at
the expiration of the applicable Restoration Period in the amount of such proceeds not
utilized for permitted reinvestments by Borrowers, (ii) except to the extent that the
payment is intended to be a permanent prepayment of the Loans and corresponding permanent
reduction in the Commitments, the unpaid principal balance of the Loans after application
of such payments shall not be less than $25,000,000, and any remaining proceeds from
Disposition, Casualty Event or condemnation not so applied to payment of the Loans shall
be held in an interest-bearing deposit account maintained with a financial institution
acceptable to Collateral Agent subject to a perfected security interest in favor of
Collateral Agent for the benefit of Lenders until such proceeds are used for reinvestment
or applied to the payment of the Loans as set forth herein, and (iii) availability for
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Commitments in an amount equal to the amount of
such payments shall be restricted to permitted reinvestments in accordance with this
Agreement and within the Restoration Period. If at the expiration of said 180-day
Restoration Period, Borrowers are unable to consummate a Permitted Acquisition of
broadcast properties due solely to the fact that the FCC has not acted upon Borrowers’
filed application for consent to such acquisition, Lenders agree to extend the



Fourth Amendment to Amended and

Restated Credit Agreement– Page 7





 









 









Restoration Period’s 180-day deadline for utilization of such proceeds (so long as
no Event of Default then exists) to accommodate the delay in completing the FCC’s approval
process, to the extent that such proceeds are committed to be used by Borrowers for the
payment of the purchase price of such broadcast properties as permitted by this Agreement.”



     (d) Section 2.05(c)(iv) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as
follows:




     “(iv) All payments shall be remitted to Collateral Agent and all such payments (other
than payments received while no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
and which relate to the payment of principal or interest of specific Obligations then due or
which relate to the payment of specific fees then due), and all proceeds of Collateral
received by Collateral Agent, shall be applied as follows:




     A. first, to pay any expenses then due to Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent, on a ratable basis, under the Loan Documents, until paid in full;




     B. second, to pay any expenses then due to the Lenders under the Loan
Documents, on a ratable basis, until paid in full;




     C. third, to pay any fees then due to Administrative Agent and Collateral

principal of all Term Loans C until paid in full;




     G. seventh, if such payment is made from proceeds of an Asset Sale, to pay
Accrued PIK Interest until paid in full;




     H. eighth, to pay the principal of all Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans A,
and Term Loans B until paid in full;




     I. ninth, to pay the principal of all Term Loans C until paid in full;




     J. tenth, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to Collateral
Agent, to be held by Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of Issuing Lender
and those Revolving Credit Lenders having a Revolving Credit Commitment, as cash
collateral in an amount up to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage until
paid in full;

Exhibit B-3




TERM LOAN C SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE




			
	 
	 	Santa Monica, California
	$                                                            
	 	Dated as of March __, 2006






     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (collectively, the “Borrowers” and individually, a
“Borrower”), hereby jointly and severally promise to pay to [Lender] (the “Payee”), or to its
order, the principal sum of [Lender’s Term Loan C Commitment] or the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of all advances made by the Payee to the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(iii)
of that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2004, as
amended as of the date hereof, as the same may be amended, restated, renewed, replaced,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time hereafter (the “Credit Agreement”), by and
among the Borrowers, the Payee, the other Lenders referred to therein and Silver Point Finance,
LLC, as Administrative Agent and Documentation Agent for the Lenders, and Wells Fargo Foothill,
Inc., as Collateral Agent for the Lenders (with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the
“Collateral Agent”), whichever amount is less, together with interest in arrears on any and all
principal amounts outstanding and remaining unpaid hereunder from time to time from the date
hereof until payment in full, payable on the dates and at the interest rate or rates specified in
the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Note without definition have the meanings
assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.



     The aggregate principal amount outstanding hereunder shall be payable as provided in
Section 2.04 of the Credit Agreement. This Note may be prepaid only in accordance with the
terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement.



     All principal and interest hereunder are payable in lawful money of the United States of
America to the Payee c/o the Collateral Agent at its address specified in the Credit Agreement in
immediately available funds as provided in the Credit Agreement on the dates on which such payments
shall become due. Payments of principal and interest hereunder which are not made by such dates may
be made by debiting the deposit account(s), if any, in the names of the respective Borrower with the
Collateral Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to so debit such
deposit account(s).



     Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and all other instruments or
agreements evidencing or securing the indebtedness hereunder, the Borrowers, for themselves and
their respective legal representatives, to the extent they may lawfully do so, hereby expressly
waive presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, presentment for the purpose of accelerating
maturity, diligence in collection, and the benefit of any exemption or insolvency laws, and
consent that the Collateral Agent or the Lenders may release or surrender, exchange or substitute
any personal property or other collateral security now held or which may hereafter be held as
security for the payment of this Note, and may extend the time for payment or otherwise modify the
terms of payment of any part or the whole of the debt evidenced hereby to the extent provided in
the Credit Agreement without in any way affecting the liability of the Borrowers.



 









 





     This
Note is one of the “Term Notes C” referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of,
the Credit Agreement (including Schedules thereto) and all other instruments and agreements
evidencing and/or securing the indebtedness hereunder, which Credit Agreement and other
instruments and agreements are hereby made part of this Note and are deemed incorporated herein in
full. The occurrence or existence of an Event of Default shall constitute a default under this
Note and shall entitle the Payee to accelerate the entire indebtedness hereunder and to take such
other action as may be provided for in the Credit Agreement or any other instrument or agreement
evidencing and/or securing this Note, all in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.



     All agreements between or among the Borrowers, the Collateral Agent and any Lender are hereby
expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration
of maturity of the indebtedness or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid for the
use or forbearance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum amount which the Payee
or any other Lender is permitted to receive under applicable law. If, from any circumstances
whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of the Credit Agreement, at the time performance
of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding such amount, then the obligation to be
fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limit of such validity and if, from any
circumstances, the Payee or any other Lender should ever receive as interest an amount which would
exceed such maximum amount, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the
reduction of the principal balance evidenced hereby and not to the payment of interest. As used
herein, the term “applicable law” shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof, provided,
however, that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible
rate of interest, then this Note shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date. This
provision shall control every other provision of all agreements between or among the Borrowers, the
Collateral Agent, and each Lender.



     This Note and all transactions hereunder and/or evidenced herein shall be governed by, and
construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California applicable to
contracts made and performed in said State.



     If this Note shall not be paid when due and shall be placed by the holder hereof in the hands
of any attorney for collection, through legal proceedings or otherwise, the Borrowers hereby
jointly and severally agree to pay reasonable attorneys’ fees to the holder hereof together with
reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including, without limitation, any such attorneys’
fees, costs and expenses relating to any proceedings with respect to the bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation of any Borrower or
any party (other than the Payee or any other Lender) to any instrument or agreement securing this
Note.



     This Note shall become effective upon acceptance of this Note by the Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Payee in Santa Monica, California. Borrowers hereby waive notice of acceptance
hereof by Payee and Collateral Agent.
