     II. GENERAL TERMS.



     Section 2.01. Loan Facilities.



     (a) Revolving Credit Facilities. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions contained in
this Agreement, each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to make one or more Advances pursuant to this
Section 2.01(a) (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Loans”) to Borrowers from time to
time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any time

Commitment; provided, however, that:

outstanding hereunder, plus (y) the Letter of Credit Usage shall at no time exceed the

     (2) the sum of (w) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans
outstanding hereunder, plus (x) the Letter of Credit Usage, plus (y) the unpaid

outstanding hereunder, plus (y) the Letter of Credit Usage, plus (z) the unpaid
principal balance of all Term Loans outstanding hereunder, shall at no time exceed forty-five
percent (45%) of the Compressed Sale Value of Eligible Stations.



     (ii) The borrowings under this Section 2.01(a) shall be evidenced by Borrowers’ Amended and
Restated Secured Revolving Credit Notes issued to the respective Revolving Credit Lenders
(together with any additional Secured Revolving Credit Notes issued to any assignee(s) of the
Revolving Credit Commitments under Article XII or otherwise issued in addition to, in substitution
therefor or amendment or replacement thereof, collectively the
“Revolving Credit Notes”),
such Revolving Credit Notes to be in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.



     (iii) During the Revolving Credit Commitment Period and within the limits of the Aggregate
Revolving Credit Commitments, Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow under,



- 24 -









 







and as permitted by, this Section 2.01(a). Interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be paid as
required under Section 2.02 and under Section 2.05 in connection with all mandatory and voluntary
reductions of the Revolving Credit Commitments.



     (iv) The Revolving Credit Commitments shall expire on the last day of the Revolving
Credit Commitment Period.



     (b) Letter of Credit Facility. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue letters of credit for the account of Borrowers
(each, an “L/C”) or to purchase participations or execute indemnities, guarantees or
reimbursement obligations (each such undertaking, an “L/C Undertaking”) with respect to
letters of credit issued by an Underlying Issuer (as of the Closing Date, the prospective
Underlying Issuer will be Wells Fargo) for the account of Borrowers. To request the issuance of an
L/C or an L/C Undertaking (or the amendment, renewal, or extension of an outstanding L/C or L/C
Undertaking), the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall hand deliver or
telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved
by the Issuing Lender) to the Issuing Lender and Collateral Agent (reasonably in advance of the
requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of
an L/C or L/C Undertaking, or identifying the L/C or L/C Undertaking to be amended, renewed, or
extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension, the date on which such L/C or
L/C Undertaking is to expire, the amount of such L/C or L/C Undertaking, the name and address of
the beneficiary thereof (or of the Underlying Letter of Credit, as applicable), and such other
information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such L/C or L/C Undertaking.
If requested by the Issuing Lender, the Borrowers also shall be applicants under the application
with respect to any Underlying Letter of Credit that is to be the subject of an L/C Undertaking.
The Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if any of the following
would result after giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit:




     (A) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the amount by which the lesser of (v) the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or (w) forty-five percent (45%) of the Compressed
Sale Value of Eligible Stations, exceeds the amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans
and the amount of outstanding Term Loans, or




     (B) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $500,000.


Borrowers and the Revolving Credit Lenders acknowledge and agree that certain Underlying Letters
of Credit may be issued to support letters of credit that already are outstanding as of the Closing
Date. Each Letter of Credit (and corresponding Underlying Letter of Credit) shall be in form and
substance acceptable to the Issuing Lender (in the exercise of its discretion), including the
requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If Issuing Lender is
obligated to advance funds under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers immediately shall reimburse such L/C
Disbursement to Issuing Lender by paying to Collateral Agent an amount equal to such L/C
Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on the date that such L/C Disbursement is
made, if Borrowers shall have received written or telephonic notice of such L/C Disbursement prior
to 10:00 a.m., California time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by Borrowers
prior to such time on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on (i) the
Business Day that Borrowers receive such notice, if such notice is


- 25 -









 






received prior to 10:00 a.m., California time, on the date of receipt, and, in the absence of such
reimbursement, the L/C Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be an Advance
hereunder and, thereafter, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Loans under Section
2.02. To the extent an L/C Disbursement is deemed to be an Advance hereunder, Borrowers’ obligation
to reimburse such L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Advance.
Promptly following receipt by Collateral Agent of any payment from Borrowers pursuant to this
paragraph, Collateral Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent
that Revolving Credit Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(v) to reimburse the
Issuing Lender, then to such Revolving Credit Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may
appear.




     (ii) Promptly following receipt of a notice of L/C Disbursement pursuant to Section
2.01(b)(i), each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment agrees to fund its Pro
Rata Share of any Advance deemed made pursuant to the foregoing subsection on the same terms and
conditions as if Borrowers had requested such Advance and Collateral Agent shall promptly pay to
Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. By the issuance of
a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and
without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or the Revolving Credit Lenders with
Revolving Credit Commitments, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted and assigned to
each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, and each Revolving Credit Lender
with a Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased and assumed, a participation
in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation
Liability of such Letter of Credit, and each such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to
Collateral Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of any payments made by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and
in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment
hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Collateral Agent, for the account of the
Issuing Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the
Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by Borrowers on the date due as provided in clause (i) of this
Section 2.01(a), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to Borrowers for any
reason. Each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment acknowledges and agrees
that its obligation to deliver to Collateral Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, an
amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share pursuant to this Section 2.01(b)(ii) shall be
absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or
continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in
Section 3 hereof. If any such Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to Collateral Agent
the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any payments made by the Issuing
Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section, Collateral Agent (for the
account of the Issuing Lender) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such
Revolving Credit Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate until paid in
full, or if not paid in full within three (3) Business Days, then at the Base Rate until paid in
full.



     (iii) Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Revolving Credit
Lenders harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, and reasonable attorneys’ fees
incurred by the Revolving Credit Lenders arising out of or in connection with any Letter of



- 26 -









 







Credit; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to
indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that is caused by the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by
the Underlying Issuer’s regulations and interpretations of any Underlying Letter of Credit or by
Issuing Lender’s interpretations of any L/C issued by Issuing Lender to or for such Borrower’s
account, even though this interpretation may be different from such Borrower’s own, and each
Borrower understands and agrees that the Revolving Credit Lenders shall not be liable for any
error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrowers’
instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or
supplements thereto. Each Borrower understands that the L/C Undertakings may require Issuing
Lender to indemnify the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims
by Borrowers against such Underlying Issuer. Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save,
defend, and hold the Revolving Credit Lenders harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense
(including reasonable attorneys fees), or liability incurred by the Revolving Credit Lenders
under any L/C Undertaking as a result of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ indemnification of any
Underlying Issuer; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify
for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that is caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any other Revolving Credit Lender.



     (iv) Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Underlying Issuer to deliver to the
Issuing Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such
Underlying Issuer pursuant to such Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the
Issuing Lender’s instructions with respect to all matters arising in connection with such
Underlying Letter of Credit and the related application.



     (v) Any and all charges, commissions, fees, and costs incurred by the Issuing Lender relating
to Underlying Letters of Credit immediately shall be reimbursable by Borrowers to Collateral Agent
for the account of the Issuing Lender; it being acknowledged and agreed by each Borrower that, as
of the Closing Date, the issuance charge imposed by the prospective Underlying Issuer is .825% per
annum times the face amount of each Underlying Letter of Credit, that such issuance charge may be
changed from time to time, and that the Underlying Issuer also imposes a schedule of charges for
amendments, extensions, drawings, and renewals.



     (vi) If by reason of (x) any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any
change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (y)
compliance by the Underlying Issuer or the Revolving Credit Lenders with any direction, request,
or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or
monetary authority including, Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in
effect (and any successor thereto):




     (A) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in
respect of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, or




     (B) there shall be imposed on the Underlying Issuer or the Revolving Credit Lenders
any other condition regarding any Underlying Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit
issued pursuant hereto;



- 27 -









 




and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to the
Lenders of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce
the amount receivable in respect thereof by the Revolving Credit Lenders, then, and in any
such case, Collateral Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the
additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrower
Representative, and Borrowers shall pay on demand such amounts as Collateral Agent may
specify to be necessary to compensate the Revolving Credit Lenders for such additional cost
or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand
until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Revolving Credit Loans
hereunder. The determination by Collateral Agent of any amount due pursuant to this
Section, as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in
reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and
conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.




     (c) Term

Agreement, each Term Loan Lender agrees to make one or more loans pursuant to this Section 2.01(c)

however, that:

outstanding plus the amount of the requested Term Loans would exceed the Aggregate Term

then outstanding, shall not exceed the lesser of (x) forty-five percent (45%) of the
Compressed Sale Value of Stations, and (y) Fifty-Five Million Dollars ($55,000,000); and




     (C) the sum of (1) the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans made on the

(after deducting therefrom the amount to be paid on the Closing Date from the proceeds of
the requested Term Loans), and (3) the Letter of Credit Usage, shall not exceed forty-five
percent (45%) of the Compressed Sale Value of Eligible Stations.



     (ii) The borrowings under this Section 2.01(c) shall be evidenced by Borrowers’ Secured
Promissory Notes issued to the respective Term Loan Lenders (together with any additional Secured
Promissory Notes issued to assignee(s) of the Term Loan Lenders under Article XII or otherwise
issued in addition thereto, in substitution therefor or amendment or replacement thereof,
collectively the “Term Notes”), such Term Notes to be in the form of Exhibit B

     (a) Interest Rates. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(e), the outstanding
principal balance of each Loan shall bear interest from the date of Loan or Advance until payment
in full, both before and after maturity, and be payable by Borrowers, at a rate or rates per annum
calculated from time to time in accordance with this Section 2.02.



     (b) Determination of Interest Rate for Loans. Except as hereinafter provided, the
interest rate charged by the Lenders in respect to the Loans shall be either (1) the applicable
LIBOR Rate pursuant to a Notice of Conversion or Continuation effective on the first day of the
Interest Period, plus seven percent (7.00%), or, (2) if such LIBOR Rate is not available
or published, or at Borrowers’ option, the Base Rate.



     (c) Choosing Interest Rate Basis and Interest Period.



          (i) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of each interest Period for each
LIBOR Loan, the Borrower Representative shall give the Collateral Agent a Notice of Conversion or
Continuation specifying whether all or a portion of such LIBOR Loan (1) is to be Continued in whole
or in part as or to one or more LIBOR Loans (and such Notice shall set forth the applicable
duration of the next Interest Period as one (1), three (3) or six (6) month period), (2) is to be
Converted in whole or in part into a Base Rate Loan, or (3) is to be repaid. The failure to give
such notice shall be deemed to constitute a request by Borrowers to continue such Loan as a LIBOR
Loan for a one-month LIBOR Interest Period on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Upon
the last day of such Interest Period, such LIBOR Loan will, subject to the provisions hereof, be so
Continued, Converted or repaid, as applicable and as set forth in such Notice.




          (ii) With respect to a Base Rate Loan, such Loan shall continue to bear interest at the Base
Rate unless and until the Borrowers request that such Loan be Converted into a LIBOR Loan as
follows. The Borrowers may give Collateral. Agent three (3) Business Days prior written notice in
the form of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation specifying that all or a portion of such Base
Rate Loan is to be Converted in whole or in part into a LIBOR Loan pursuant to the terms hereof,
and the applicable Interest Period (and such Notice shall set forth the applicable duration of the
next Interest Period as one (1), three (3) or six (6) month period). Upon the date set forth in
such Notice, such Base Rate Loan will, subject to the provisions hereof, be Converted into a LIBOR
Loan with an initial Interest Period as set forth in such Notice.

     (d) Interest Payment Dates.



     Interest on the Revolving Credit Loans and Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue and shall be
payable by Borrowers, jointly and severally, in arrears, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim
on the first Business Day of each month commencing August 1, 2004, and on the Maturity Date,
whether by reason of acceleration, prepayment, payment or otherwise; provided,
however, if the aggregate amount of monthly interest accrued and payable on any Monthly
Payment Date occurring during the first twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date, is greater
than the amount of interest which would have accrued on the Daily Balance of the Loans for such
month at an annual rate of eleven percent (11.00%), Borrowers may, at their option, if no Default
then exists, elect to pay accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Loans for such
month at the rate of eleven percent (11.00%) per annum (the “Current Pay Interest”), and
elect to pay the balance of accrued interest for such month in excess of the amount of Current Pay
Interest (such excess being referred to herein as “PIK Interest”), as follows:




     (w) If Borrowers give Collateral Agent notice at least five (5)
Business Days prior to the last day of the calendar month immediately
preceding the relevant Monthly Payment Date of the Current Pay Interest
occurs that Borrowers are not exercising their option to pay interest in
kind (the “PIK Election”) during such calendar month, the PIK
Interest will be due and payable in cash on such Monthly Payment Date.




     (x) Unless Collateral Agent receives a notice that Borrowers are not
exercising a PIK Election, the PIK Interest on each Monthly Payment Date
shall be paid by adding the amount of such PIK Interest to the principal
balance of the respective Notes which are the subject of such PIK Elections
on the corresponding Monthly Payment Date of the Current Pay Interest. Once
added to the principal balance of such Notes, such PIK Interest shall
thereafter accrue interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.




     (y) At the direction of Required Lenders, following the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Default, subject to the terms of Section
2.05(e), all interest shall be paid in cash on the scheduled Monthly Payment
Date, and the PIK Election shall not be available to Borrowers.




     (z) Subject to Section 2.05(e), but notwithstanding any other provision
contained herein to the contrary, the aggregate accrued and unpaid amount
of all PIK Interest shall be paid by Borrowers (1) at the time of an Asset
Sale to the extent that such payment can be made with the Net Cash Proceeds
of such Asset Sale (unless all Lenders agree to permit continued deferral of
the payment of such PIK Interest), and (2) on the Maturity Date.



- 30 -









 





     (e) Effect of Defaults. Etc.




     (i) During the existence of any Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance
under the Notes and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest, PIK
Interest, fees, expenses or other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents, shall bear interest, from and including the date such Event of Default occurred
until such Event of Default is cured or waived in writing as provided herein, at a rate per
annum (the “Default Rate”) (computed on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed over a 360-day year) equal to two percent (2.00%) above the interest rate(s)
otherwise applicable hereunder; and the Letter of Credit fee provided for herein shall be
increased by two percent (2.00%) above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder.




     (ii) If any installment of interest is not paid within ten (10) days of its due date,
Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to Collateral Agent for the account
of Lenders holding the delinquent interest obligations, a late and handling charge equal
to five percent (5%) of the unpaid portion of such overdue installment.




     (iii) Nothing in this Section 2.02(e) shall affect the rights of Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent or Lenders to exercise any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or
applicable law arising upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.



     (f) Interest Calculations. Interest on all Loans shall be computed on the basis of a
three hundred sixty (360) day year counting the actual number of days elapsed.



     (g) Intent Not to Violate Usury Laws. (i) All agreements between or among Borrowers,
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and any Lender(s) 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 by this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document exceed the maximum
amount which any Lender is permitted to receive under applicable law. If, from any circumstances
whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document,
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, any 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 Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents
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 Borrowers, Administrative Agent, Collateral
Agent and any Lender.



     (ii) SPLenders and Borrowers intend that the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans
qualify for the exemption set forth in Section 25118(b) of the California



- 31 -









 







Corporations Code to California’s usury provisions. In this regard, each of SPLenders and each
of Borrowers hereby represents, warrants and agrees as follows:



               (A) the Loans made to Borrowers by SPLenders pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and (c),
respectively, constitute a single coordinated loan made to Borrowers by SPLenders;



               (B) the advance of the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans to Borrowers by SPLenders
pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and (c) are conditioned upon all the Borrowers’ participation in the
Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans; and



               (C) each of Borrowers and SPLenders, by reason of its business and financial experience, has
the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the Term Loans and Revolving Credit
Loans.



          (iii) The Lenders and the Borrowers also intend that the Loans qualify for the exemption
set forth in Section 3707 of the California Financial Code to California’s usury provisions. In
this regard, each of the Lenders and each of the Borrowers hereby acknowledges and agrees that each
of the Loans was “arranged by” the Collateral Agent, as the term “arranged by” is used in Section
3707 of the California Financial Code.




     Section 2.03. Loan Requests.



     Each request by Borrowers for Loans (other than the initial Loans, if made concurrently
herewith) shall be in an amount not less than $250,000, and if greater than such amount, an
integral multiple of $50,000, and shall be made by Borrower Representative not later than (i)
11:00 A.M. (California time) on the Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date, by a
written Loan Request, in the form of Schedule 2.03
(each, a “Loan Request”),
signed by a Duly Authorized Officer of Borrower Representative and indicating (i) the date of such
Loans and (ii) the use of proceeds thereof. Collateral Agent shall promptly notify Lenders of such
Loan Request and the information contained therein. Such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and
binding on Borrowers. The Loans shall be made by the applicable
Lenders Pro Rata as provided in
Section 2.13. Not later than 2:00 P.M. (California time) on the date specified for any Loans, each
applicable Lender shall make available to Collateral Agent the portion of the Loans to be made by
it on such date, in immediately available funds, for the account of Borrower. The amount so
received by Collateral Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be
made available to Borrowers by disbursing such funds as indicated in writing in the related Loan
Request prior to the date such Loans are proposed to be made.



     Section 2.04. Repayment of Loans.




     (a) (i) Borrowers hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally promise to pay to Collateral
Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender on the Maturity Date the then aggregate
unpaid principal balance of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans including all
unpaid Accrued PIK Interest in respect to such Revolving Credit Loans.



          (ii) Borrowers hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally promise to pay to
Collateral Agent for the account of each Term Loan Lender on the Maturity Date the then





- 32 -









 







aggregate unpaid principal balance of such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loans, including all unpaid
Accrued PIK Interest in respect to such Term Loans.




     (b) In addition, in connection with any reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments, or at any other time that the aggregate outstanding and unpaid principal balance of
the Revolving Credit Loans plus the Letter of Credit Usage exceeds the then applicable Aggregate
Revolving Credit Commitments, Borrowers hereby jointly and severally promise to repay the Revolving
Credit Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. In addition, at the time that (i) the sum
of (w) the aggregate outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the Term Loans, (x) the then
outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans, (y) the Letter of Credit
Usage, and (z) the outstanding and unpaid principal balance of all other Senior Debt, shall exceed
forty-five percent (45%) of the Compressed Sale Value of Stations, or (ii) the sum of (x) the
aggregate outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the Term Loans, (y) the then outstanding and
unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans, and (z) the Letter of Credit Usage, shall
exceed forty-five percent (45%) of the Compressed Sale Value of Eligible Stations, Borrowers hereby
jointly and severally promise to repay the Revolving Credit Loans (or, if the Revolving Credit
Loans have been paid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments terminated, to repay the Term
Loans) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.



     (c) If any installment of principal is not paid within ten (10) days of its due date,
Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to Collateral Agent for the Lenders’ account
a late and handling charge equal to five percent (5%) of the unpaid portion of such overdue
installment.



     Section 2.05. Payments, Prepayments and Termination or Reduction of the
Commitments.



     (a) Voluntary Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. Upon at least three (3)
Business Days’ prior written notice to Collateral Agent in the form of Schedule 2.05(a)
(each, a “Commitment Reduction Notice”) signed by a Duly Authorized Officer, Borrowers
may permanently terminate or permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments, provided
as follows:




     (i) any such reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $100,000 or,
if greater, an integral multiple of $100,000;




     (ii) any such reduction shall apply to each Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment Pro Rata as provided in Section 2.13; and




     (iii) no such reduction shall cause the Revolving Credit Commitments to be reduced
below the Letter of Credit Usage, unless this Agreement is terminated and all Obligations
are paid in full in accordance with Section 2.05(c).


Each Commitment Reduction Notice shall specify the date fixed for such termination or reduction,
and the aggregate principal amount thereof and the amounts payable in respect thereof under
Section 2.06 or 2.10. No voluntary prepayment shall be deemed to reduce the Revolving Credit
Commitments unless accompanied by a Commitment Reduction Notice.





- 33 -









 








     (b) Mandatory Commitment Reductions and Prepayments.



     (i) Casualty
Events. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.02, in the event of
receipt by any Borrower of any Insurance Proceeds as a result of a Casualty Event relating to the
assets of any Borrower (A) in excess of $100,000 (except to the extent such proceeds are used by
Borrower within the Restoration Period to restore, repair or replace the Damaged Property as
provided in Section 6.02), (B) at any time that a Default has occurred and is continuing, or (C) at
any time a Borrower is deemed to have elected to apply such Insurance Proceeds to prepay the Loans
by such amount as provided in Section 6.02 or to have determined not to restore, repair or replace
the asset or property affected by such Casualty Event, the Loans shall be prepaid as provided in
Section 2.05(c) in an amount equal to 100% of such Insurance Proceeds.



     (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 (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) prepay the Loans as follows and as provided in Section 2.05(c):




     (1) on the date of such Disposition, in 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)); and




     (2) thereafter, 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.



     (iii) Mandatory Reductions in Revolving Credit Commitments. All payments of principal
under Section 2.05(b)(i) and (ii) 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 Section 2.05(b)(i) and (ii), 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



 - 34 - 









 






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 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.




     (c)
Application of Reductions, Payments and Prepayments, Cash Collateral; Etc.





     (i) All prepayments of the Loans under this Section 2.05: (A) shall be made without
set-off, deduction or counterclaim and (B) shall be applied in accordance with clauses
(ii), (iii) and (iv) hereof.




     (ii) In addition, if, following a Disposition, (A) the sum of (w) the aggregate
outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the Term Loans, (x) the then outstanding and
unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans, (y) the Letter of Credit Usage, and
(z) the outstanding and unpaid principal balance of all other Senior Debt, shall exceed
forty-five percent (45%) of the Compressed Sale Value of Stations, or (B) the sum of (x) the
aggregate outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the Term Loans, (y) the then
outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans, and (z) the Letter
of Credit Usage, shall exceed forty-five percent (45%) of the Compressed Sale Value of
Eligible Stations, Borrowers hereby jointly and severally promise to repay the Revolving
Credit Loans (or if the Revolving Credit Loans have been repaid in full, the Term Loans) in
an aggregate amount equal to such excess. In addition, upon any reductions of the Revolving
Credit Commitments, Borrowers shall pay any then accrued Unused Line Fees.




     (iii) On the date of termination of this Agreement, all Obligations (including
contingent reimbursement obligations of Borrowers with respect to any outstanding Letters
of Credit) immediately shall become due and payable without notice or demand (including
either (i) providing cash collateral to be held by Collateral Agent for the benefit of
those Revolving Credit Lenders with a Revolving Credit Commitment in an amount equal to
105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage, or (ii) causing the original Letters of
Credit to be returned to the Issuing Lender). No termination of this Agreement, however,
shall relieve or discharge Borrowers of their duties, Obligations, or covenants hereunder
and the Collateral Agent’s Liens in the Collateral shall remain in



 - 35 - 









 





effect until all Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and the Revolving Credit
Lenders’ obligations to provide additional credit hereunder have been terminated. When this
Agreement has been terminated and all of the Obligations have been fully and finally discharged
and the Lenders’ obligations to provide additional credit under the Loan Documents have been
terminated irrevocably, Collateral Agent will, at Borrowers’ sole expense, execute and deliver any
UCC termination statements, lien releases, mortgage releases, re-assignments of trademarks,
discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if
applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably necessary to release, as of record, the
Collateral Agent’s Liens and all notices of security interests and liens previously filed by
Collateral Agent with respect to the Obligations.




     (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 Agent, on a
ratable basis, under the Loan Documents until paid in full;




     D. fourth, to pay any fees then due to Lenders under the Loan Documents, on a ratable
basis, until paid in full;




     E. fifth, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Loans until paid in full;




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




     G. seventh, to pay the principal of all Loans until paid in full;




     H. eighth, 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;




     I. ninth, to pay any other Obligations until paid in full; and




     J. last, to Borrowers or such other Person entitled thereto under
applicable law.



 - 36 - 









 









     (v) For purposes of the foregoing, “paid in full” means payment of all amounts owing
under the Loan Documents according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service
fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including interest accrued after the
commencement of any insolvency proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and
expense reimbursements, whether or not the same would be or is allowed or disallowed in
whole or in part in any insolvency proceeding.




     (vi) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this
Section 2.05 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the
intention of the parties hereto that such priority provisions in
such documents shall be
read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each
other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as
aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.05 shall control and govern.



     (d) Early Termination Fees.



     In the event of any prepayment or repayment of a Loan made with proceeds of any Disposition,
sale of Equity Securities or refinancing with any lender other than the Lender receiving such
prepayment or repayment, prior to the date which is fifty-four (54) months after the Closing
Date, Borrowers shall pay to Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of Lender or Lenders
entitled to such Early Termination Fee a fee (the “Early Termination Fee”) calculated as
a percentage of the principal amount so paid or prepaid to such Lenders as follows:



	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	The Percentage Used to
	If prepayment or payment	 	Calculate the Early
	occurs:	 	Termination Fee shall be:
	Prior to the date which is 12 months after the Closing Date
	 	 	8.00	%
	On or after the date which 12 months after the
Closing Date, but prior to the date which is
24 months after the Closing Date
	 	 	6.00	%
	On or after the date which is 24 months after
the Closing Date, but prior to the date which
is 36 months after the Closing Date
	 	 	3.00	%
	On or after the date which is 36 months after
the Closing Date, but prior to the date which
is 54 months after the Closing Date
	 	 	1.50	%






     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(d), no Early Termination Fee
shall be payable (a) in connection with any prepayment or repayment from proceeds of a
refinancing to any Lender participating in such refinancing, or (b) in respect to any mandatory
prepayment of Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(b); provided, however, that if the
Lenders waive any mandatory prepayment under Section 2.05(b) in connection with any mandatory
prepayment event described in Section 2.05(b), any voluntary prepayment of such sums by
Borrowers (exclusive, however, of temporary prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans



 - 37 - 









 




pending Borrowers’ election to reinvest proceeds as permitted by this Agreement) shall be subject
to the payment of the Early Termination Fee.




Section 2.06. Fees.




     (a) Unused Line Fees. Borrowers agree jointly and severally to pay to Collateral
Agent, for the ratable account of each Revolving Credit Lender, from the Closing Date through the

Loans (if commercially reasonable).



     (c) Letter of Credit Fee. Borrowers shall pay Collateral Agent (for the ratable

     Section 2.07.
Requirements of Law.



     (a) In the event that any Regulatory Change shall:




     (i) change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to any Lender under this
Agreement or any Notes in respect of any Loans made by it (other than taxes imposed
on the overall net income of such Lender in its jurisdiction of organization or in
the jurisdiction where its lending office is located);




     (ii) impose or modify any reserve, compulsory loan assessment, special deposit
or similar requirement relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or
any deposits with or other liabilities of, any office of such Lender (including any
of such Loans); or




     (iii) impose any other conditions affecting this Agreement in respect of Loans
(or any of such extensions of credit, assets, deposits or liabilities);


and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase such Lender’s costs of making or
maintaining any Loans or any Commitment, or to reduce any amount receivable by such Lender
hereunder in respect of any Commitment, in each case only to the extent that such additional
amounts are not included in the Prime Rate applicable to such Loans, then Borrowers shall
pay on demand to such Lender, through Collateral Agent, and from time to time as specified
by such Lender, such additional amounts as such Lender shall reasonably determine are
sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.




     (b) If at any time after the date of this Agreement any Lender shall have reasonably
determined that the adoption or implementation of any Regulatory Change regarding capital
adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law), has or
will have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the
capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of the existence of its
obligations hereunder (whether with respect to the Commitments, the Loans or any other
Obligation) to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such
Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such
Lender to be material, then from time to time following written notice by such Lender to
Borrowers as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section, within thirty (30) days after
written demand by such Lender, Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, through Collateral Agent,
such additional amount or amounts as such Lender shall reasonably determine will compensate
such Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, for such reduction, provided that to
the extent that any or all of Borrowers’ liability under this Section arises following the
date of the adoption of any such Regulatory Change (the “Effective Date”), such
compensation shall be payable only with respect to that portion of such liability arising
after notice of such Regulatory Change is given by such Lender to Borrower.



     (c) If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
Section, it shall notify Borrowers in writing of the event by reason of which it has become
so



 - 39 - 









 









entitled within thirty (30) days after such Lender becomes aware of such claim. A certificate
setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to
this Section submitted by such Lender to Borrowers shall be delivered to Borrowers and the other
Lenders promptly after the delivery of the initial notice to Borrowers and, if not objected to
reasonably and in good faith by Borrowers within fifteen (15) days of their receipt of such
certificate, shall be conclusive so long as it reflects a reasonable basis for the calculation of
the amounts set forth therein and does not contain any manifest error. The covenants contained in
this Section shall survive for six (6) months following the termination of this Agreement and the
payment of the outstanding Notes. No failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation under
paragraph (a) or (b) above on any one occasion shall constitute a waiver of its rights to demand
compensation on any other occasion. The protection of this Section shall be available to each
Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of any law,
regulation or other condition which shall give rise to any demand by such Lender for compensation
thereunder. If any Lender claims increased costs, loss or expenses pursuant to this Section, then
such Lender, if requested by the Borrowers, shall use reasonable efforts to take such steps that
such Borrowers reasonably request as would eliminate or reduce the amount of such increased costs,
losses or expenses so long as taking such steps would not, in the reasonable judgment of such
Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Any recovery by any Lender of amounts
previously borne by a Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be promptly remitted, without
interest (unless such Lender received interest on such recovered amounts), to such Borrower by such
Lender.



     (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date of this
Agreement, any Regulatory Change shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any
LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any LIBOR
Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrowers and to Collateral Agent:




     (i) such Lender may declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter (for the
duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued
for additional Interest Periods and Base Rate Loans will not thereafter (for such
duration) be Converted into LIBOR Loans), whereupon any request for a LIBOR Loan or
to Convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan or to Continue a LIBOR Loan, as
applicable, for an additional Interest Period shall, as to such Lender only, be
deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan (or a request to Continue a Base Rate Loan as
such for an additional Interest Period or to Convert a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate
Loan, as applicable), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and




     (ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by it be
Converted to Base Rate Loans, in which event all such LIBOR Loans shall be
automatically Converted to Base Rate Loans, as of the effective date of such notice
as provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.07(d).



     In
the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clauses
(i) or (ii) of this Section 2.07(d), all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay
the LIBOR Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the Converted LIBOR Loans of such
Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Base Rate Loans made by such



 - 40 - 









 






Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the Conversion of, such LIBOR Loans, as applicable. For
purposes of this Section 2.07(d), a notice to the Borrowers by any Lender shall be effective as to
each LIBOR Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period
currently applicable to such LIBOR Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the
date of receipt by the Borrowers.




     Section 2.08. Not Used.




     Section 2.09. Taxes.




     (a) All payments made by Borrowers under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any
present or
future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or
withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any
Governmental Authority (all such taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and
withholdings being hereinafter called “Taxes”); provided, however, that the term
“Taxes” shall not include net income taxes, franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes)
and general intangibles taxes (such as those imposed by the State of Florida) imposed on any Agent
or any Lender, as the case may be, as a result of a present, former or future connection or nexus
between the jurisdiction of the government or taxing authority imposing such tax (or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) and such Agent or such Lender other than that
arising from such Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or
received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement, the Notes or any of the Security Documents.
If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Agent or any Lender
hereunder or under the Notes, the amounts so payable to such Agent or such Lender shall be
increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all
Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts
specified in this Agreement and the Notes. Whenever any Taxes are payable by Borrowers in respect
of this Agreement or the Notes, as promptly as possible thereafter Borrowers shall send to
Collateral Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a
certified copy of an original official receipt received by Borrowers showing payment thereof. If
a Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit
to Collateral Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrowers shall
indemnify Agents, Documentation Agent and Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties
that may become payable by any Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. If, after any
payment of Taxes by Borrowers under this Section, any part of any Tax paid by any Agent or any
Lender is subsequently recovered by such Agent or such Lender, such Agent or such Lender shall
reimburse Borrowers to the extent of the amount so recovered. A certificate of an officer of such
Agent or such Lender setting forth the amount of such recovery and the basis therefor shall, in
the absence of obvious error, be conclusive. Agents and Lenders shall use reasonable efforts to
notify Borrowers of their attempts, if any, to obtain abatements of any such Taxes and the receipt
by Agents or Lenders of any funds in connection therewith. The agreements in this subsection shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts
payable hereunder.



     (b) If any Lender is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning
of the Code, and such Lender is entitled to an exemption (or is exempt) from or reduction of




 - 41 - 









 








United States withholding tax under Section 1441 or 1442 of the Code or any other law of the United
States, or any treaty to which the United States is a party, such Lender will deliver to Collateral
Agent and Borrowers prior to the first date as of which any payment is required to be made to it
hereunder (i) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or
W-8ECL, or a successor applicable form, as the case may be, and (ii) two duly completed copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or a successor applicable form, as the case may be. Each such
Lender also agrees to deliver to Borrowers and Collateral Agent two
further copies of the said Form W-8 BEN or W-8ECI and Form W-9, or successor applicable forms or
other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires
or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form
previously delivered by it to Borrowers, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably
be requested by Borrowers or Collateral Agent, unless in any such case an event (including, without
limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any
such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would
prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such
Lender so advises Borrowers and Collateral Agent. Such Lender shall certify (x) in the case of a
Form W-8BEN or W-8 ECI, that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (y) in the case of a Form
W-9, that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. In no event
shall Borrowers be responsible for any loss incurred as a result of a Lender’s failure to comply
with this subsection (b).




     (c) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, Collateral
Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable
withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation
required under subsection (b) above are not executed, completed and/or delivered to Collateral
Agent, then Collateral Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing
such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax. For
purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by Collateral Agent to or for the account of any
Lender shall be deemed a payment by Borrowers.



     (d) If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority, domestic or foreign,
asserts a claim that Agents or Documentation Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts
paid to or for the account of any Lender (whether because the appropriate form was not delivered
or was not properly executed, completed and/or delivered, because such Lender failed to notify
Collateral Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of,
withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify each
Agent and Borrowers fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Agent as tax or
otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction
on the amounts payable to an Agent under this subsection (d), together with all costs, expenses
and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or paid in connection therewith.



     (e) If at any time a Borrower requests any Lender to deliver any forms other than
documentation pursuant to subsection (b) above, then Borrowers shall, upon demand of such Lender,
reimburse such Lender for any reasonable costs or expenses incurred by such Lender in the
preparation or delivery of such forms or other documentation.



 - 42 - 









 







     Section 2.10. Indemnification for LIBOR Breakage Charges. Borrowers, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall pay to Collateral Agent, for the account of each
Lender, promptly upon the request of such Lender delivered to Collateral Agent and thereafter
delivered by Collateral Agent to Borrowers, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender
for any actual loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender (as reasonably determined by such
Lender) as a result of (a) failure by Borrowers to borrow, Continue or Convert any LIBOR Loan after
having given notice of their intention to borrow, Continue or Convert such Loan in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement (whether by reason of Borrowers’ election not to proceed or the
non-fulfillment of any of the conditions to such advance), or (b) the payment (or failure to pay
after giving notice thereof) of any LIBOR Loan in whole or in part for any reason prior to the end
of the Interest Period relating thereto. Losses subject to reimbursement hereunder shall include,
without limitation, lost margins, expenses incurred by any Lender or any participant of such Lender
permitted hereunder in connection with the reemployment of funds prepaid, paid, repaid, not
borrowed, or not paid, as the case may be, and will be payable whether the Maturity Date is changed
by virtue of an amendment hereto (unless such amendment expressly waives such payment) or as a
result of acceleration of the Obligations. Such indemnification may also include an amount equal to
(i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid for the period from the
date of such repayment (if such date is not the last day of the Interest Period) through the end of
such Interest Period at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein
minus (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would
have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable
period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. Any such calculations of losses or
damages may be calculated as described above whether or not the Lender actually match funds LIBOR
Loans in the interbank Eurodollar market. The provisions of this Section 2.10 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
The determination by each such Lender of the amount of any such loss or expense, when set forth in
a written notice delivered to Collateral Agent (and thereafter delivered by Collateral Agent to the
Borrowers), containing such Lender’s calculation thereof in reasonable detail shall be presumed
correct absent obvious error. For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this
Section 2.10, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the
purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that
LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided,
however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the
foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable to the
Lenders under this Section 2.10.



     Section 2.11. Payments Under the Notes.



     (a) All payments and prepayments made by Borrowers of principal of, and interest on, the
Loans and other sums and charges payable under this Agreement, including without limitation, any
payments under Sections 2.06, 2.07, 2.09 and 2.10,
shall be made in immediately available funds to
Collateral Agent (as specified in Section 13.03) for the accounts of Lenders as provided in
Section 2.13 and otherwise herein and not later than 12:00 P.M. (California time) on the date on
which such payment shall become due. Collateral Agent shall promptly, following receipt of payment
under this Agreement or Notes, distribute such payment to each affected Lender in accordance with
this Agreement, and Borrowers shall not be responsible for Collateral



 - 43 - 









 





Agent’s failure to do so. The failure by Borrowers to make any such payment by such hour shall not
constitute a Default hereunder so long as payment is received later that day, provided that
any such payment made after 12:00 P.M. (California time) on such due date shall be deemed to have
been made on the next Business Day for the purpose of calculating interest on amounts outstanding
on the Notes. Borrowers shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or the
Notes, specify to Collateral Agent the Notes or amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder to which
such payment is to be applied and in the event that it fails to so specify, or if a Default has
occurred and is continuing, unless all of the Lenders shall otherwise consent thereto, Collateral
Agent shall distribute such payments in accordance with Section 2.05(c).




     (b) If any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be due and payable on a day which is
not a Business Day, such payment shall be deemed due on the next following Business Day and
interest shall be payable at the applicable rate specified herein through such extension period.
Collateral Agent, or any Lender for whose account any such payment is made, may (but shall not be
obligated to) debit the amount of any such payment which is not made by 2:00 P.M. (California
time) to any deposit account of Borrowers with Collateral Agent or such Lender, as the case may
be. Each payment received by Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any Note for the account of
a Lender shall be paid promptly to such Lender, in immediately available funds, for the account of
such Lender for the Note in respect to which such payment is made.



     Section 2.12. Set-Off, Etc. Each Borrower hereby grants to Lenders, a lien,
security interest and right of set-off as security for all Obligations to Lenders, whether now
existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property,
now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Lenders or any Affiliate of
any Lender and their successors and assigns, or in transit to any of them. At any time, without
demand or notice, Lenders may set-off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any
matured liability or obligation of a Borrower regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral
securing the Notes. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE LENDERS TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES
WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOANS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT OF
SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER OR EACH BORROWER, ARE
HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. Each Borrower agrees that any Person which
purchases a participation (or direct interest) in the Notes (each being hereinafter referred to as
a “Participant”) may, after the identity of such Participant has been disclosed to
Borrowers in writing, exercise all rights of set-off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar
rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Participant were a direct holder of
Notes in the amount of such participation, provided that Borrowers were notified of such purchase.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require any Participant to exercise any such right or
shall affect the right of any Participant to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any
such right with respect to any indebtedness or obligation of Borrowers, other than Borrowers’
Indebtedness and Obligations under this Agreement.



     Section 2.13. Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing.



     (a) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, except with respect to the fees payable
to Administrative Agent and its Affiliates pursuant to the Fee Letter and fees payable to
Collateral Agent, and except as otherwise agreed by each Lender: (i) each borrowing from



 - 44 - 









 





Revolving Credit Lenders shall be made from Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata according to the
amounts of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments; (ii) each borrowing from Term
Loan Lenders shall be made from Term Loan Lenders pro rata according to the amounts of their
respective Term Loan Commitments; (iii) each payment and prepayment of principal of the Revolving
Credit Loans shall be allocated to Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with the
outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans owed to such Revolving Credit Lenders;
(iv) each payment of interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated to Revolving Credit
Lenders pro rata in accordance with the outstanding principal amount owed to such
Revolving Credit Lenders; (v) each payment and prepayment of principal of, and each payment of
interest on, the Term Loans shall be allocated to Term Loan Lenders pro rata in accordance
with the outstanding principal amount owed to such Term Loan Lenders; (vi) each payment of Unused
Line Fees shall be allocated to Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with their
respective Revolving Credit Commitments; (vii) each payment of any other sums and charges payable
for Lenders’ account under this Agreement (except for the fees under the Fee Letter) shall be
allocated, as applicable, to Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective
Revolving Credit Commitments and Term Loan Lenders in accordance with the outstanding principal
amounts of the Term Loans owed to such Term Loan Lenders; (viii) each reduction in the Aggregate
Revolving Credit Commitments under Section 2.05 shall reduce the Revolving Credit Lenders’
Commitments pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments
immediately preceding each such reduction; (ix) each payment under Section 2.07,2.09 or 2.10 shall
be made to each Lender in the amount required to be paid to such Lender as provided in such
Section; and (x) notwithstanding the foregoing, after and during the continuance of a Default,
each distribution of cash, property, securities or other value received by any Lender, directly or
indirectly, in respect of Borrowers’ Obligations hereunder, whether pursuant to any attachment,
garnishment, execution or other proceedings for the collection thereof or pursuant to any
bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or other similar proceeding or otherwise, after payment of
collection and other expenses as provided herein and in the Security Documents, shall, subject to
Section 2.05(c)(iv), be apportioned among Lenders pro rata based upon the respective
aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans owed to each of them.




     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 2.05(c)(iv), if any Lender (a
“Recovering Party”) shall receive any such distribution referred to in Section 2.13(a)(ix)
above (a “Recovery”) in respect thereof, such Recovering Party shall pay to Collateral
Agent for distribution to Lenders as set forth herein their respective pro rata shares of such
Recovery, based on Lenders’ pro rata shares of all Loans outstanding at such time, unless
the Recovering Party is legally required to return any Recovery, in which case each party
receiving a portion of such Recovery shall return to the Recovering Party its pro rata
share of the sum required to be returned without interest. For purposes of this Agreement,
calculations of the amount of the pro rata share of each Lender shall be rounded to the
nearest whole dollar.



     (c) Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, if any Recovering Party shall be obligated to
pay to the other Lenders a portion of any Recovery pursuant to
Section 2.13(b) and shall make such
recovery payment, Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations in respect of
Indebtedness held by such Recovering Party only to the extent of the Recovery actually retained
by such Recovering Party after giving effect to the pro rata payments by such Recovering
Party to the other Lenders. The obligations of Borrowers in respect of Indebtedness



 - 45 - 









 






held by each other Lender shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent of the amount of
the Recovery distributed or obligated to be distributed to each such other Lender by the
Recovering Party.




     Section 2.14. Non-Receipt of Funds by Collateral Agent. Unless Collateral
Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender or Borrowers prior to the date on which such
Lender or Borrowers are scheduled to make payment to Collateral Agent of (in the case of a Lender)
the proceeds of a Loan to be made by it hereunder or (in the case of Borrowers) a payment to
Collateral Agent for the account of any or all of Lenders hereunder (such payment being herein
referred to as a “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon actual receipt,
that it does not intend to make such Required Payment to Collateral Agent, Collateral Agent may
(but shall not be required to) assume that the Required Payment has been made and may (but shall
not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make the amount thereof available to the
intended recipient(s) on such date and, if such Lender or Borrowers (as the case may be) has not
in fact made the Required Payment to Collateral Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment shall, on
demand, repay to Collateral Agent for Collateral Agent’s own account the amount so made available
together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date
such amount was so made available by Collateral Agent until the date Collateral Agent recovers
such amount at a rate per annum equal to (a) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, with respect to
interest paid by such Lender, or (b) the applicable rate provided under Section 2.02, with respect
to interest paid by Borrowers.



     Section 2.15. Replacement of Notes. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Borrowers of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note and (a) in
the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement
reasonably satisfactory to Borrowers (provided, however, that if the holder of such Note
is the original holder of such Note, its own agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be
satisfactory), or (b) in the case of any such mutilation, upon the surrender of such Note for
cancellation, Borrowers will execute and deliver, in replacement of such lost, stolen, destroyed,
or mutilated Note, a new Note of like tenor.



     Section 2.16. Security for the Obligations; Subordination; Etc.



     (a) Collateral. Except as specified in Schedule 2.16(a) hereto, the
Obligations shall be secured at all times by:




     (i)
a first priority perfected security interest in and lien upon all presently owned
and hereafter acquired tangible and intangible personal property and fixtures of each
Borrower, including without limitation any intercompany notes, obligations or agreements,
subject only to (A) any Permitted Liens and (B) the exclusion of any License, except to
the extent (if any) that such a security interest is permitted or not prohibited by the
Act (as defined in Section 4.08), and the rules, regulations and policies of the FCC (but
including, to the maximum extent permitted by law, all rights incident or appurtenant to
any such License, including without limitation the right to receive all proceeds derived
or arising from or in connection with the sale, assignment or transfer thereof);



 - 46 - 









 








     (ii) first mortgages on all presently owned and hereafter acquired real estate owned
by each Borrower, subject only to any Permitted Liens, together with mortgagee’s title
insurance policies acceptable to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent;




     (iii) collateral assignments of or leasehold mortgages on all real estate leases, in
each case, in which any of the Borrowers now has or may in the future have an interest,
subject only to any Permitted Liens, and such third party consents, lien waivers,
non-disturbance agreements and estoppel certificates as Administrative Agent and Collateral
Agent shall reasonably require, together with mortgagee’s title insurance policies
acceptable to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent;




     (iv) a first priority perfected collateral assignment and/or pledge of all of the
issued and outstanding Equity Securities of each Borrower and all warrants, options, and
other rights to purchase such Equity Securities; and




     (v) first priority perfected collateral assignments of the Licenses and all purchase
agreements, construction contracts, management agreements, LMAs, programming agreements,
licenses, permits, authorizations (except for licenses and permits issued by the FCC to the
extent it is unlawful to grant a security interest in such licenses and permits) and other
agreements as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall reasonably deem necessary to
protect the interests of Lenders, together with such third party consents, lien waiver and
estoppel certificates as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall reasonably require
and as permitted by the underlying document.



     (b) Subordination. Without limiting the generality of Section 7.01, all existing and
hereafter arising Indebtedness of each Borrower to its Affiliates shall be subordinated to any
Indebtedness of such Borrower to Lenders pursuant to subordination
agreement(s) satisfactory in form
and substance to Administrative Agent (each an “Affiliate Subordination Agreement” and
collectively, the “Affiliate Subordination Agreements”).



     (c) Security Documents. All agreements and instruments described or contemplated in
this Section 2.16, together with all intercreditor agreements at any time in effect with respect
to Indebtedness affecting Eligible Stations, any and all other agreements and instruments
heretofore or hereafter securing the Notes and other Obligations or otherwise executed in
connection with this Agreement, as the same may be amended, supplemented, extended, restated,
renewed or replaced from time to time, are sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively as the
“Security Documents” and each
individually as a “Security Document”. Each Borrower
agrees to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, any and all Security
Documents, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent, and take such
action as Collateral Agent may reasonably request from time to time in order to cause Collateral
Agent and Lenders to be secured at all times as described in this Section.



     (d) Collateral Agent. All Liens under the Security Documents or otherwise securing
payment of the Obligations shall be granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Lenders,
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. All Security Documents and financing statements
heretofore executed by Borrowers or authorized by Borrowers to be filed or recorded by WFF, as
Agent, in connection with the Original Credit Agreement, A&R Credit Agreement or otherwise



 - 47 - 









 




shall remain in full force and effect, shall continue to secure payment and performance of,
and to perfect the Liens intended to secure payment and performance of, the Obligations,
and are hereby ratified and affirmed in all respects.




     Section 2.17. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used
solely in accordance with Schedule 2.17 hereto.



     III. CONDITIONS OF MAKING THE LOANS.



     Section 3.01. Conditions to the First Loans. The obligations of
Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans to Borrowers on the Closing Date are
subject to the following conditions:

Borrower and its Affiliates set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents
shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof and on the

made as of other date(s), in which case such representations and warranties shall be true
and correct in all material respects as of such other date(s)) and each Borrower shall have
performed all obligations which
were to have been performed by it hereunder prior to the Closing Date (unless waived
by Agents or the Required Lenders).



     (b) Loan Documents and Organizational Documents. Borrowers shall have executed
and/or delivered to Collateral Agent (or shall have caused to be executed and delivered to
Collateral Agent by the appropriate Persons), the following:

Subordination Agreements, Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements and
Termination Statements and all mortgages, deeds of trusts and amendments thereto,
lessor consents and waivers and related title insurance policies, if any, required
by Administrative Agent or its counsel, in connection with Borrowers’ compliance
with the provisions of Section 2.16;




     (iii) Certified copies (attached as required in Part A of the
form attached as Schedule 3.01) of all corporate or other action taken by
the Equity Holders of each Borrower authorizing the execution and delivery of the
Loan Documents to which it is a party (including all resolutions authorizing the
incurrence of the Obligations and the granting of the Liens contemplated by the Loan
Documents to which it is a party, to the extent required by the Organizational
Documents applicable thereto) which have been properly adopted and have not been
modified or amended;

for the Fiscal Year ending on such date, and (ii) the internally prepared balance sheet of
Borrowers as at April 30, 2004, and the statement of operations of Borrowers for the four-month

represents the pro forma financial condition of the Borrowers as of its date. All financial
projections and other financial information submitted to Lenders by Borrowers (including all
projections set forth in the Budget) are believed by Borrowers to be reasonable in light of
all information presently known by Borrowers. To the best of their belief and after all
diligence and inquiry, the Projections reflect the reasonable estimates of Borrowers of the
results of operations and other information set forth therein.

     (b) Borrowers’ assets and properties do not constitute unreasonably small capital for
Borrowers to carry out their business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted,
including Borrowers’ capital needs, taking into the account the particular capital
requirements of such Borrower’s business and the projected capital requirements and capital
availability thereof.



     (c) Borrowers do not intend to, nor will Borrowers, incur debts beyond their ability to
pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing and amounts of cash reasonably
anticipated to be received by Borrowers and the amounts of cash reasonably anticipated to be
payable on or in respect of Borrowers’ obligations. Borrowers’ cash flow, after taking into
account all anticipated sources and uses of cash, will at all times be sufficient to pay all
such amounts on or in respect of its indebtedness when such amounts are required to be paid.



     (d) Borrowers believe that no reasonably anticipated final judgment in a pending action
or, to its knowledge, any threatened action for money damages will be rendered at a time
when, or in an amount such that, each Borrower will be unable to satisfy such judgment
promptly in accordance with its terms (taking into account the maximum reasonable amount
thereof and the earliest reasonable time at which such judgment might be rendered). The cash
available to each Borrower, after taking into account all other anticipated uses of cash
(including the payment of all such Borrower’s indebtedness) is anticipated to be sufficient
to pay any such judgment promptly in accordance with their terms.



     (e) No Borrower is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state
or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a substantial portion
of its property, and Borrowers have no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of
any such petition against any Borrower.



     Section 4.12. Full Disclosure. No statement of fact made by or on behalf
of any Borrower in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate or
schedule furnished to Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained
therein or herein not misleading. There is no fact presently known to Borrowers which has not
been disclosed to Lenders in writing which materially and adversely affects any Borrower, or,
as far as Borrowers can reasonably foresee, could have, a Material Adverse Effect, other
than facts and circumstances generally known within the television broadcast industry.



     Section 4.13. Margin Stock. The Borrowers do not own or have any
present intention of acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U (12 CFR
Part 221) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (herein called “Margin
Stock”).



     Section 4.14. Tax Returns. Each Borrower has filed all federal, state
and local tax and information returns required to be filed (taking into account any
extensions filed) and has paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all material
federal, state and local taxes, franchise fees, charges and assessments shown thereon.

     (b) No Borrower and no member of the Controlled Group has any material liability (i)
under Section 412 of the Code for failure to satisfy the minimum funding requirements for

IV of ERISA, (iii) under Section 4201 of ERISA for withdrawal or partial withdrawal from a

material agreements, if any, between Borrowers and their Affiliates, and all material
construction, engineering, management, consulting and other agreements, if any, which are
in effect on the date hereof in connection with the conduct of the business of Borrowers,
including without limitation the acquisition, construction, extension and/or operation of
the Stations.



     Section 4.17. Projections. Attached as Schedule 4.17 are
annual projections of the operation of EBC’s consolidated business through December
31,2008 (the “Projections”).



     Section 4.18. Brokers. Etc. Except as disclosed in Schedule
4.18 hereto, no Borrower has dealt with any broker, finder, commission agent or other
similar Person in connection with the Loans or the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or is under any obligation to pay any broker’s fee, finder’s fee or commission
in connection with such transactions.



     Section 4.19. Capitalization. Attached as Schedule 4.19 is a
description of the ownership relationships among Borrowers and their respective Affiliates,
showing accurate ownership percentages of the Equity Holders (other than Equity Holders of
EBC) of record and accompanied by a statement of authorized and issued Equity Securities
for each such entity as of the date hereof. Such Schedule 4.19 also states, as of
the date hereof (a) which securities, if any, carry preemptive rights; (b) whether there
are any outstanding subscriptions, warrants or options to purchase any securities; (c)
whether each Borrower is obligated to redeem or repurchase any of its securities, and the
details of any such committed redemption or repurchase; and (d) any other agreement,
arrangement or plan to which each Borrower is a party or participant or of which Borrower
has knowledge which will directly or indirectly affect the capital structure of each
Borrower. All such Equity Securities of the Borrower’s are validly issued and fully paid
and nonassessable, and owned as set forth on such Schedule 4.19. All such Equity
Securities of the Borrowers are owned, legally and beneficially, free of any assignment,
pledge, lien, security interest, charge, option or other encumbrance, except for (i)
Permitted Liens, (ii) restrictions on transfer imposed by the Organizational Documents of
such Person, and (iii) restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable securities laws, as
indicated on the certificates evidencing such Equity Securities or as may be imposed by the
FCC.

     (a) To the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, all real property leased, owned, controlled or

Borrower’s knowledge, prior uses and activities thereon, including, but not limited to, the use,
maintenance and operation of each of the Properties and all activities in the conduct of business
related thereto, comply and have at all times complied in all material respects with all
Environmental Laws, except where the failure to comply could not have a Material Adverse Effect.



     (b) Neither any of the Borrowers, nor, to the best of any Borrower’s knowledge, any previous
owner, tenant, occupant or user of any of the Properties or any other Person, has engaged in or
permitted any operations or activities upon any of the Properties for the purpose of or in any
way involving the handling, manufacture, treatment, storage, use, generation, release, discharge,
refining, dumping or disposal of a material amount of any Hazardous Materials the removal of
which is required or the maintenance of which is prohibited or
penalized.



     (c) To the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, no Hazardous Material has been or is currently
located in, on, under or about any of the Properties in a manner which materially violates any
Environmental Law or which requires cleanup or corrective action of any kind under any
Environmental Law.



     (d) To
the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, no notice of violation, lien, complaint, suit,
order or other notice or communication concerning any alleged violation of any Environmental Law

of Borrower’s knowledge, any prior owner or occupant of any of the Properties which has not been
fully satisfied and complied with in a timely fashion so as to bring such Property into full
compliance with all Environmental Laws.



     (e) The Borrowers have all permits and licenses required under any Environmental Law to be
issued to them by any Governmental Authority on account of any or all of their activities on any
of the Properties, (except to the extent that the absence of any such permit or license would not
have a Material Adverse Effect) and are in material compliance with the terms and conditions of
such permits and licenses. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no change in the facts or
circumstances reported or assumed in the application for or granting of such permits or licenses
exist, and such permits and licenses are in full force and effect.



     (f) To the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, no portion of any of the Properties has been
listed, designated or identified in the National Priorities List (NPL) or the CERCLA information
system (CERCLIS), both as published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, or any

requiring cleanup, or remedial or corrective action under any Environmental Law.



     (g) Each Borrower, at its expense, has provided to Agents and Lenders a “Transaction

Properties designated by Lenders (including those owned Properties designated on Schedule
4.20 and required as a condition to the execution of this Agreement under Section 2.16)
(collectively, the “Environmental Site Assessments”), prepared by an environmental
consulting firm of national reputation reasonably satisfactory to Lenders, together with a letter
from such firm to Agents authorizing Agents and Lenders to rely thereon. Each of the Environmental
Site Assessments provided to Agents and Lenders is, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, true and
accurate in all material respects. Borrower has also provided to Agents and Lenders an
“Environmental Questionnaire” (as required by Agents) for each of the leased properties designated
by Lenders (collectively, the “Environmental Questionnaires”).

down or work stoppage threatened against any Borrower; and neither Borrower is subject to any
collective bargaining or similar arrangements.



     Section 4.23. Delaware Code Provisions. None of the Organizational Documents
of Borrowers contains any provision similar to those set forth in Section 102(b)(2) of Title 8 of
the Delaware Code.



     V. FINANCIAL COVENANTS. Borrowers hereby covenant and agree that, so long as any
Lender has any obligation to extend credit to Borrowers, or any of them, hereunder, and for so

calendar year 2005, or (c) $2,000,000 in any calendar year thereafter; provided, however,

made, in any fiscal year may be deferred and made in the subsequent fiscal year in addition to
(and computed after the application of) permitted Capital Expenditures for such subsequent fiscal
year specified above, provided, further, that no such deferred Capital Expenditures may be
further deferred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Capital Expenditures and Permitted Acquisitions
which are either (i) funded solely by additional cash equity or (ii) not financed with the Loans
and which




 - 63 - 










 





are nonrecourse to Borrowers and the Stations, shall not be treated as Capital
Expenditures for the purposes of this Section 5.04.




     Section 5.05. Restricted Payments. (a) Not directly or indirectly

either the Required Lenders have consented thereto in writing or the Required Lenders have
elected to decline Borrowers’ written offer, delivered to each Agent not less than three (3)

confirming that Borrowers’ consolidated EBITDA for the trailing twelve-month period covered by
such financial statements, exclusive, however, of any gains from Dispositions, is
greater than $6,500,000, and no Default or Event of Default then exists.




     VI. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. Each Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to and with each
of Lenders that, so long as any Lender has any obligation to extend credit to Borrowers, or any of
them hereunder, and for so long thereafter as there remains outstanding any of the Obligations,
whether now existing or hereafter arising, each Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to:



     Section 6.01.

Authority, including, without limitation, any other Specified Authority), all material agreements
to which it is a party and all agreements with its Equity Holders;

- 65 -









 





     (d) Preserve all the remainder of its material property used or useful in the conduct of its
business and keep the same in good repair, working order and condition (reasonable wear and tear
and damage by fire or other casualty excepted), and from time to time, make or cause to be made all
repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, so that the business carried
on in connection therewith may be conducted at all times in the ordinary course ‘ in a manner
substantially consistent with past practices, but taking into account limitations on Capital
Expenditures set forth in Section 5.04 hereof.



     Section 6.02. Insurance.



     (a) Keep all of its insurable properties now or hereafter owned adequately insured at all
times against loss or damage by fire or other casualty to the extent customary with respect to
like properties of companies conducting similar businesses (with extended coverage endorsement
including hurricane, tornado and wind damage coverage); maintain public liability, broadcasters’
liability and workers’ compensation insurance insuring such Borrower to the extent customary with
respect to companies conducting similar businesses; maintain workers’ compensation insurance as
required by applicable state law, and maintain business interruption insurance in an amount not
less than three (3) months’ of net profits and Total Fixed Charges of Borrowers’ business, all by
financially sound and reputable insurers and furnish to Lenders satisfactory evidence of the same

timely payment of all insurance premiums payable under, all such policies, which certification
shall he included in the next succeeding Compliance Report delivered pursuant to Section 6.05(d));
notify each of Lenders of any material change in the insurance maintained on its properties after
the date hereof and furnish each of Lenders satisfactory evidence of any such change; maintain
insurance with respect to its tower, transmission and/or studio facilities and related, equipment
in an amount equal to the full replacement cost thereof, provide that each insurance policy
pertaining to any of its insurable properties shall:




     (i) name (A) Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lenders, as loss payee pursuant to a
so-called “standard mortgagee clause” or “Lender’s loss payable endorsement”, with respect
to property coverage, and (B) each Agent and each Lender, as additional insured, with
respect to general liability coverage;




     (ii) provide that no action of any Borrower shall void any such policy as to Agents
or Lenders, and




     (iii) provide that the insurer(s) shall notify Collateral Agent of any proposed
cancellation of such policy at least thirty (30) days in advance thereof (unless such
proposed cancellation arises by reason of non-payment of insurance premiums in which case
such notice shall be given at least ten (10) days in advance thereof) and that Agents and
Lenders will have the opportunity to correct any deficiencies justifying such proposed
cancellation.



     (b) In the event of a Casualty Event affecting any asset or property of a Borrower (whether
or not such property constitutes Collateral) (the “Damaged Property”) and provided that
no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral Agent and Lenders will deliver



- 66 -









 




to Borrowers (for the benefit of such Borrowers) any Insurance Proceeds therefrom, if Borrowers so
elect following notice thereof provided by Collateral Agent within ten (10) days of its receipt of
any Insurance Proceeds, provided, however that (i) Borrowers shall use such
proceeds for the restoration or replacement of the Damaged Property within the applicable
Restoration Period, (ii) Borrowers shall have demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of
Collateral Agent that the Damaged Property will be restored to substantially its previous condition
or will be replaced by substantially identical property or assets and (iii) if Collateral Agent, on
behalf of Lenders, had a security interest in and lien upon the Damaged Property, Lenders shall
have received, at the request of the Required Lenders, a favorable opinion from Borrowers’ counsel,
in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Lenders, as to the perfection of Collateral
Agent’s security interest in and lien upon such restored or replaced property or asset and such
evidence satisfactory to the Required Lenders as to the priority of such security interest and
liens. If Borrowers fail to elect the disbursement of such Insurance Proceeds as provided in the
foregoing sentence within thirty (30) days following receipt of Collateral Agent’s notice,
Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected that such Insurance Proceeds be applied to the prepayment
of the Revolving Credit Loans and that the Revolving Credit Commitments be permanently reduced by
such amount; and in the event the Revolving Credit Commitments are permanently reduced to zero, the
remaining proceeds shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans.




     (c) If a Borrower receives any disbursements of Insurance Proceeds as contemplated by Section
6.02(b), but fails to restore or replace the Damaged Property within the applicable Restoration
Period, as required under Section 6.02(b), then Borrowers shall return all such disbursements to
Collateral Agent for application, together with the balance of any related Insurance Proceeds not
so disbursed, to the prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Revolving Credit Commitments
shall be permanently reduced by such amount; and in the event the Revolving Credit Commitments are
permanently reduced to zero, the remaining proceeds shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term
Loans.



     (d) Collateral Agent, if directed by the Required Lenders upon the occurrence and during the
existence of any Event of Default, may elect to apply any Insurance Proceeds received by
Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 6.02 to the replacement, restoration and/or repair of
the Damaged Property, in lieu of effecting the prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and
reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments; and in the event the Revolving Credit Commitments
are permanently reduced to zero, the remaining proceeds shall be applied to the prepayment of the
Term Loans.



     (e) If Borrowers or Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, elect to
replace, restore and/or repair the Damaged Property as provided in
Section 6.02(b) or (d), the
related Insurance Proceeds (and any earnings thereon) shall be held by Collateral Agent and shall
be applied to the replacement, restoration and repair of the Damaged Property and advanced by
Collateral Agent in periodic installments upon compliance by Borrowers with such reasonable
conditions to disbursement as may be imposed by the Required Lenders, including, but not limited
to, reasonable retention amounts and receipt of lien releases and, if determined by Collateral
Agent, disbursement of such Insurance Proceeds jointly to Borrowers and any contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen to whom payment is owed in connection with such repair, replacement
and/or restoration.



- 67 -









 





     (f) Following the occurrence and the continuance of an Event of Default under either paragraph
(b) or (c) of Article VIII, Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to release any Insurance
Proceeds to Borrowers as provided above and all such proceeds shall be applied in accordance with
Section 2.05(c), and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanently reduced by the amount of
such proceeds to the extent applied to the payment of the Revolving Credit Loans.



     (g) With respect to any Casualty Event resulting in Insurance Proceeds aggregating $100,000 or
more, Collateral Agent shall be entitled at its option to participate in any compromise, adjustment
of settlement in connection with any claims for damage or destruction under any policy or policies
of insurance, and Borrowers shall, within five (5) Business Days after request therefor, reimburse
Collateral Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and disbursements) incurred by Collateral Agent in connection with such participation. Neither
Borrower shall make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with any such claim
without the approval of the Required Lenders, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.



     (h) To the extent, if any, that any improved real property (whether owned or leased) of the
Borrowers that is mortgaged as required under Section 2.16(a) is situated in a flood zone
designated as type “A”, “B” or “V” by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, obtain
and maintain flood insurance in coverage and amount satisfactory to Collateral Agent.



     Section 6.03.
Taxes, Etc. Pay and discharge or cause to be paid and
discharged all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its
income and profits or upon any of its property, real, personal or mixed, or upon any part thereof,
before the same shall become in default, as well as all lawful claims for labor, materials and
supplies or otherwise, which, if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon such properties or any
part thereof; provided that no Borrower shall be required to pay and discharge or cause to be paid
and discharged any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim so long as the validity thereof
shall be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and it shall have set aside on its
books adequate reserves with respect to any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim so
contested; and provided, further that, in any event, payment of any such tax, assessment, charge,
levy or claim shall be made before any of its property shall be seized or sold in satisfaction
thereof.



     Section 6.04.
Notice of Proceedings, Defaults, Adverse Change, Etc. Promptly
(and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the discovery by a Borrower thereof) give
written notice to each of Lenders of (a) any proceedings instituted or threatened against it in
writing by or in any federal, state or local court or before any commission or other regulatory
body, whether federal, state or local (including, without limitation, any Specified Authority),
which, if adversely determined, could have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) any notices of default
received by each Borrower (together with copies thereof, if requested by any Lender) with respect
to (i) any alleged default under or violation of any of its material licenses, permits or
franchises, including any License, or any material agreement to which it is a party, or (ii) any
alleged default with respect to, or redemption or acceleration or other action under any
agreement or instrument relating to any material Indebtedness of each Borrower or any mortgage,
indenture or other similar agreement; (c) (i) any notice of any material violation or
administrative or judicial complaint or order filed or to be filed against each Borrower and/or
any



- 68 -









 




real property owned or leased by it alleging any material violation of any Environmental Law or
requiring it to take any action in connection with the release and/or clean-up of any Hazardous

Obligations), or default under any agreement giving rise to monetary remedies, in each case which,

accelerate the maturity of such Indebtedness on account of such default;



     (g) (i) any Borrower or any Subsidiary shall lose, fail to keep in force, suffer the

and effect or shall not be enforceable in accordance with its terms, or any Lien(s) granted

to act by any Lender, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent), or any Person other than
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lenders shall contest the validity of the Lien(s)
granted under, or shall disaffirm its obligations under, any Security Document or other Loan

- 82 -

on terms acceptable to Collateral Agent;



     (r) a Borrower or any material part of its business or assets shall be the subject of any

department of state or federal government;

transmitter site (i) shall not be renewed by such Borrower or the landlord thereunder at least
ninety (90) days prior to its scheduled expiration or termination date, unless Agents consent
thereto after having received from such Borrower evidence and assurances acceptable to Agents that
(A) the Borrower has obtained a replacement location which is not less favorable to the Borrower
and its business operations pursuant to a signed written Lease acceptable to Agents, and (B) the
Borrower will be able to relocate to such replacement premises without materially adversely
affecting its continued business operations or station signal, or (ii) shall be in default as a
result of the Borrower’s failure to observe or abide by all terms, conditions and covenants
contained therein (unless cured within the applicable grace period), or (iii) shall be the subject

Required Lenders’ objection to such termination; or



     (u) any Borrower shall discontinue its business; or



     (v) a Borrower shall terminate or materially and adversely amend a Services Agreement without
the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld);


then and upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default and at any time thereafter during the
continuance of such Event of Default, at the election of the Required Lenders, each of the
Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate and the Revolving Credit Loans and all other
Obligations shall immediately become due and payable, both as to principal and interest, without
presentment, demand, prior notice, or protest, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything
contained herein or in the Revolving Credit Notes or other evidences of the Revolving Credit Loans
to the contrary notwithstanding (except in the case of an Event of Default under paragraph (i) or
(j) of this Article VIII, in which event the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the
Obligations shall automatically become due and payable).




     IX. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.



     Section 9.01.
General Provisions. In case any one or more Events of Default
shall occur and be continuing, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lenders,
may proceed to protect and enforce their rights by an action at law, suit in equity or other
appropriate



- 83 -









 




proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained in this Agreement, the
Notes, any Security Document or any other Loan Document, or for an injunction against a violation
of any of the terms hereof or thereof or in and of the exercise of any power granted hereby or
thereby or by law, all subject to the provisions of Article XI.




     Section 9.02. Consent to Receivership. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing or limiting in any way the rights of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under the
Security Documents or otherwise under applicable law, at any time after the occurrence, and during
the continuance, of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be entitled
to apply for and have a receiver or receiver and manager appointed under state or Federal law of
the United States by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action taken by Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent and Lenders to enforce their rights and remedies hereunder and under the Loan
Documents in order to manage, protect, preserve, sell and otherwise dispose of all or any portion
of the Collateral and continue the operation of the Stations of the Borrowers, and to collect all
revenues and profits thereof and apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other charges of
such receivership, including the compensation of the receiver, and to the payment of the
Obligations as aforesaid until a sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall be finally made
and consummated. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to and waives any right to object to or
otherwise contest the appointment of a receiver as provided above. Each Borrower (i) grants such
waiver and consent knowingly and voluntarily after having discussed the implications thereof with
counsel; (ii) acknowledges that the uncontested right to have a receiver appointed for the
foregoing purposes is considered essential by Lenders, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent in
connection with the enforcement of their rights and remedies hereunder and under the Security
Documents, and the availability of such appointment as a remedy under the foregoing circumstances
was a material factor in inducing Lenders to make the Loans to Borrowers; and (iii) agrees to enter
into any and all stipulations in any legal actions and agreements or other instruments in
connection with the foregoing and to cooperate fully with Lenders, Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent in connection with the assumption and exercise of control by the receiver over all
or any portion of the Collateral.



     Section 9.03. Effect of Termination of Commitments. On the date of termination
of this Agreement, all Obligations (including contingent reimbursement obligations of Borrowers
with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit) immediately shall become due and payable without
notice or demand (including either (i) providing cash collateral to be held by Collateral Agent for
the benefit of those Lenders with a Revolving Credit Commitment in an amount equal to 105% of the
then extant Letter of Credit Usage, or (ii) causing the original Letters of Credit to be returned
to the Issuing Lender). No termination of this Agreement, however, shall relieve or discharge
Borrowers of their duties, Obligations, or covenants hereunder and the Liens of Administrative
Agent and Collateral Agent in the Collateral shall remain in effect until all Obligations have been
fully and finally discharged and the Commitments have been terminated. When this Agreement has been
terminated and all of the Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and the Commitments
have been terminated irrevocably, Collateral Agent will, at Borrowers’ sole expense, execute and
deliver any UCC termination statements, lien releases, mortgage releases, re-assignments of
trademarks, discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or release documents
(and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably



- 84 -









 




necessary to release, as of record, the Collateral Agent’s Liens and all notices of security
interests and liens previously filed by Collateral Agent with respect to the Obligations.




     Section 9.04. Remedies Not Exclusive. No right conferred upon Administrative
Agent, Collateral Agent and Lenders hereby or by any Security Document or any other Loan Documents
shall be exclusive of any other right referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available
at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise.



     X. AGENTS.



     Section 10.01.
Appointment, Powers and Immunities.



     (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 10.08) designates and appoints Silver
Point, which designation and appointment is coupled with an interest, as Administrative Agent of
such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably
authorizes Silver Point to act as Administrative Agent of such Lender, to take such action on its
behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such
powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 10.08) designates and
appoints Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., which designation and appointment is coupled with an interest,
as Collateral Agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such
Lender irrevocably authorizes WFF to act as Collateral Agent of such Lender, to take such action on
its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such
powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Collateral Agent by the terms of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 10.08) designates and
appoints Silver Point, which designation and appointment is coupled with an interest, as
Documentation Agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.



     (b) The duties and responsibilities of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be
ministerial and administrative in nature. Each of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and
Documentation Agent (which terms as used in this sentence and in Section 10.05 and the first
sentence of Section 10.06 shall include reference to their respective Affiliates and their own and
such Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents) shall not: (i) have any duties or
responsibilities to be a trustee for any Lender; (ii) be responsible to Lenders for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, or in any certificate or
other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement,
or for the due execution, legality, value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability,
perfection or sufficiency of this Agreement, any Note, any Security Document or any other document
referred to or provided for herein or for any failure by each Borrower or any other Person to
perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; (iii) be required to initiate or conduct
any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder except to the extent requested by the Required
Lenders and permitted under the Loan Documents and applicable law; and (iv) be responsible for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other



- 85 -









 







document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or in connection herewith, except for
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.



     (c) Each of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may employ and consult with agents,
attorneys-in-fact, public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents, attorneys-in-fact, public
accountants or other experts it selects with reasonable care.



     (d) Subject to the foregoing, to Article XI and to the provisions of any intercreditor
agreement among Lenders in effect from time to time, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent,
as applicable, shall, on behalf of Lenders, (i) hold and apply any and all Collateral, and the
proceeds thereof, at any time received by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Security
Documents and this Agreement; (ii) exercise any and all rights, powers and remedies of Lenders
under this Agreement, the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents, including the giving
of any consent or waiver or the entering into of any amendment; (iii) execute, deliver and file
UCC Financing Statements, mortgages, deeds of trust, lease assignments and other such agreements,
and possess instruments on behalf of any or all of Lenders; and (iv) in the event of acceleration
of Borrower’s Obligations hereunder, sell or otherwise liquidate or dispose of any portion of the
Collateral held by it and otherwise exercise the rights of Lenders hereunder and under the
Security Documents.



     (e) Lenders hereby authorize Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion after
consultation with Administrative Agent, to release any Lien or security interest granted to or
held by Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment
in full of all of the Obligations, (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of
as part of or in connection with any Disposition expressly permitted hereunder or under any
other Loan Document or to which the Required Lenders have consented or (iii) otherwise pursuant
to and in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Loan Document. Upon request by
Collateral Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Collateral Agent’s authority to
release Collateral pursuant to this Section.



     (f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Documentation Agent shall not have any duties
or responsibilities, nor shall Documentation Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
otherwise exist against the Documentation Agent.



     Section 10.02.
Reliance by Agents. (a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any communication by telephone,
telecopy, or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by
or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel,
independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent,
as applicable. Each Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until it
receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to such
Agent, signed by such payee and including the agreement of the assignee or transferee to be
bound hereby as it would have been if it had been an original Lender hereunder. As to any
matters not expressly



- 86 -









 





provided for by this Agreement, each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Lenders or
Lenders, as specified in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such instructions and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on Lenders. Except as otherwise
provided in the last sentence of Section 10.03, and except for ministerial and administrative acts
of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, unless such decision is restricted to or reserved for
all Lenders as provided in Article XI, or permitted at the direction of the Revolving Credit
Lenders, any action taken by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents,
including the issuance of any consent or waiver or the execution of any amendment, shall be taken
only at the direction of the Required Lenders.



     (b) If Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall request instructions from Required
Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless
and until Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall have received
instructions from Required Lenders or all affected Lenders, as the case may be, and Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of
so refraining. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (ai) if such action would,
in the opinion of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, be contrary to law
or the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) if such action would, in the
opinion of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, expose Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, to liability under Environmental Laws, or (iii) if
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall not first be indemnified to its
satisfaction against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of
taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have
any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may
be, as a result of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, acting or
refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the
instructions of Required Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable.



     Section 10.03.
Events of Default. Neither Administrative Agent nor Collateral
Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than the
nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Notes which it holds as a Lender hereunder, the
Loans or any fees) unless it has received written notice from any Lender or Borrowers specifying
such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that
either Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such Agent shall
give prompt notice thereof to Lenders (and shall give each Lender prompt notice of each
non-payment thereafter). Collateral Agent shall (subject to Section 10.07) take such action with
respect to such Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders, as provided under
Article XI, provided that, unless and until Collateral Agent shall have received such directions,
Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action on behalf of Lenders, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable
in the best interest of Lenders and Agents.



- 87 -









 





     Section 10.04. Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitment(s) and the
Loans made by WFF and Silver Point hereunder, and the Notes issued to it, each of WFF and Silver
Point shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable; and
the terms “Lender,” “Lenders” and “Required Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated,
include each of WFF and Silver Point in its individual capacity. Administrative Agent, Silver
Point, WFF, Collateral Agent and their respective Affiliates may, without having to account
therefor to Lenders and without giving rise to any fiduciary or other similar duty to any Lender,
accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other
business with Borrowers and any of their Affiliates as if it were not acting as an Agent and as if
it were not a Lender, and Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may accept fees and other
consideration from each Borrower or any other Affiliate for services in connection with this
Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.



     Section 10.05. Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify each of
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 13.02, but
without limiting the obligations of Borrowers under such Section 13.02), ratably in accordance
with the respective aggregate principal amount of the Notes held by such Lenders, from and against
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, action, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by
or asserted against Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out
of this Agreement, any Security Document, any other Loan Document or any other document
contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated by or referred to herein or
therein (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses which Borrowers are obligated to
pay under Section 13.02) or the enforcement of any of the terms of this Agreement, any Security
Document or any other Loan Document, or in any way relating to any action taken or omitted by
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under this Agreement, provided that no Lender shall be
liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. Without limitation of the foregoing, each
Lender agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any
out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees, but exclusive of any costs and expenses of
syndications) incurred by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether
through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such
expenses by Borrowers.



     Section 10.06. Non-Reliance on Agents and other Lenders. Each Lender agrees
that it has, independently and without reliance on Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or any
other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis of the Borrowers and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and that
it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or Collateral 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 analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent do not make any warranty or representation to
any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or
representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this




- 88 -










 




Agreement. Neither Agent shall be required to inquire or keep itself informed as to the
performance or observance by the Borrowers of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other
document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the properties or books of the Borrowers.
Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished
to Lenders by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder, Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or
other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or businesses of the Borrowers (or
any of their Affiliates) which may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent or any of their respective Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Administrative
Agent and Collateral Agent will, at the requesting Lender’s expense, provide to Lenders any and all
information reasonably requested by them and reasonably available to Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent promptly upon such request.




     Section 10.07. Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder, each of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall in
all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall be
indemnified to its satisfaction by Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be
incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.



     Section 10.08. Resignation of an Agent. (a) Silver Point (or any other Administrative
Agent hereunder) may resign as Administrative Agent at any time by giving ten (10) days’ prior
written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers. Any such resignation shall take effect at the end
of such ten (10) day period or upon the earlier appointment of a successor Administrative Agent by
the Required Lenders as provided below. Upon any resignation of Silver Point (or any other
Administrative Agent hereunder), the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative
Agent from among Lenders or, if such appointment is deemed inadvisable or impractical by the
Required Lenders, another financial institution with a combined capital and surplus of at least
$100,000,000. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within said ten (10) days, then the resigning
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which
shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise shall be a
commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial
institution if such commercial bank or financial institution is organized under the laws of the
United States of America or any State thereof and has a combined capital and surplus of a least
$100,000,000. If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing,
such resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the
duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint
a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative
Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. After the effective date of the resignation of an
Administrative Agent hereunder, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder, provided that the provisions of this Article X shall continue
in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was acting as Administrative Agent.

     (b) WFF (or any other Collateral Agent hereunder) may resign as Collateral Agent at any time
by giving ten (10) days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers. Any such
resignation shall take effect at the end of such ten (10) day period or upon the earlier
appointment of a successor Collateral Agent by the Required Lenders as provided below. Upon any
resignation of WFF (or any other Collateral Agent hereunder), the Required Lenders shall appoint a
successor Collateral Agent from among Lenders or, if such appointment is deemed inadvisable or
impractical by the Required Lenders, another financial institution with a combined capital and
surplus of at least $100,000,000. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by
the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within said ten (10) days, then the
resigning Collateral Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Collateral Agent, which
shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise shall be a
commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial
institution if such commercial bank or financial institution is organized under the laws of the
United States of America or any State thereof and has a combined capital and surplus of a least
$100,000,000. If no successor Collateral Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, such
resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties
of Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Collateral Agent as provided above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent
hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed
to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral
Agent. After the effective date of the resignation of a Collateral Agent hereunder, the retiring
Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder, provided that the
provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Collateral Agent. In the event that there
shall not be a duly appointed and acting Collateral Agent, Borrowers agree to make each payment due
to Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, if any, directly to each Lender
entitled thereto, pursuant to written instructions provided by the resigning Collateral Agent or,
after such resignation, Lenders, and to provide copies of each certificate or other document
required to be furnished to Collateral Agent hereunder, if any, directly to each Lender.



     Section 10.09. Cooperation of Lenders. Each Lender shall (a) promptly notify the
other Lenders and each Agent of any Event of Default known to such Lender under this Agreement and
not reasonably believed to have been previously disclosed to the other Lenders; (b) provide the
other Lenders and each Agent with such information and documentation as such other Lenders or such
Agent(s) shall reasonably request in the performance of their respective duties hereunder,
including, without Limitation, all information relative to the outstanding balance of principal,
interest and other sums owed to such Lender by Borrowers, but excluding internally generated
reports, analyses, correspondence and other customarily confidential materials and (c) cooperate
with Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent with respect to any and all collections and/or
foreclosure procedures at any time commenced against Borrowers or otherwise in respect of the
Collateral by Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent in the name and on behalf of Lenders.



     Section 10.10. One Lender Sufficient. This Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect, and all agency provisions shall be and remain effective, notwithstanding the fact that
there



 - 90 - 









 




may from time to time be only one Lender hereunder which Lender may be the same Person who is then
serving as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder.




     XI. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS; SEPARATE ACTIONS BY LENDERS.



     (a) This Agreement (including the Schedules hereto) and the other Loan Documents constitute
the entire agreement of the parties herein and supersede any and all prior agreements, written or
oral, as to the matters contained herein, and no modification or waiver of any provision hereof or
of any other Loan Document, nor consent to the departure by each Borrower or Person therefrom,
shall be effective unless the same is in writing, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise
provided by the terms of this Agreement or other Loan Document, the consent of the Required Lenders
shall be required and sufficient (i) to amend, with the consent of Borrowers, any term of this
Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document or to waive the observance of any such term (either
generally or in a particular instance or either retroactively or prospectively); (ii) to take or
refrain from taking any action under this Agreement, the Notes, any other Loan Document or
applicable law, including, without limitation, (A) the acceleration of the payment of the Notes,
(B) the termination of the Commitments, (C) the exercise of Administrative Agent’s, Collateral
Agent’s and Lenders’ remedies hereunder and under the Security Documents and (D) the giving of any
approvals, consents, directions or instructions required under this Agreement or the Security
Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (a), no such amendment,
waiver, consent or other action shall, without the prior written consent of each Lender (other than
a Defaulting Lender),




     (1) extend or shorten the payment due dates or the final scheduled maturity of
any Loan (it being understood that no waiver or modification of any condition precedent,
covenant or Default shall constitute any such extension), or reduce or increase the rate of
interest or fees thereon, or reduce or increase the principal amount thereof (it being
understood that no amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement
and no waiver or modification of any condition precedent, covenant or Default shall
constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (1));




     (2) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except in connection with the
sale or disposition of such Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
or the Security Documents) under all of the Security Documents;




     (3) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Article XI;




     (4) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders;




     (5) consent to the assignment or transfer by a Borrower of any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement;



 - 91 - 









 




and provided, further, that no such amendment, waiver, consent or other action shall





     (x) increase the Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect
without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that (aa) no waiver or
modification of any condition precedent, covenant or Default or of any mandatory
reduction in the Commitments shall constitute an increase in the Commitment of any Lender
and (bb) an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not
constitute an increase in the Commitment of such Lender); or




     (y) without the consent of Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision
of Article X as same applies to Administrative Agent or any other provision of any Loan
Document as same relates to the rights or obligations of Administrative Agent; or




     (z) without the consent of Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision
of Article X as same applies to Collateral Agent or any other provision of any Loan
Document as same relates to the rights or obligations of Collateral Agent;


and provided, further, that neither notice to, nor the consent of, Borrowers shall
be required for any modification, amendment or waiver of the provisions of this Article XI
decreasing the number of Lenders required to consent to any act or omission under the Loan
Documents or, subject to Article XII, decreasing the percentage in the definition of
“Required Lenders”.




     (b) Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Article XI shall be binding
upon each holder of any Note at the time outstanding, each future holder of any Note and
Borrowers. Lenders’ failure to insist (directly or through either Agent) upon the strict
performance of any term, condition or other provision of this Agreement, any Note, or any of the
Security Documents or other Loan Documents, or to exercise any right or remedy hereunder or
thereunder, shall not constitute a waiver by Lenders of any such term, condition or other
provision or Default or Event of Default in connection therewith, nor shall a single or partial
exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or future exercise, or the exercise of
any other right or remedy; and any waiver of any such term, condition or other provision or of
any such Default or Event of Default shall not affect or alter this Agreement, any Note or any of
the Security Documents or other Loan Documents, and each and every term, condition and other
provision of this Agreement, the Notes and the Security Documents and other Loan Documents shall,
in such event, continue in full force and effect and shall be operative with respect to any other
then existing or subsequent Default or Event of Default in connection therewith. An Event of
Default or Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless and until cured or waived in writing
by the applicable Lenders, as provided in subsection (a) above.



     XII. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.



     (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lenders,
Agents and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and all subsequent holders of any
of the Notes or any portion thereof.



 - 92 - 









 





     (b) Each Lender may assign its rights and interests under this Agreement, the Notes and the
Security Documents and/or delegate its obligations hereunder and thereunder, in whole or in part,
and sell participations in its Commitment(s) and its Loans, provided as follows:




     (i) Any such assignment, other than an assignment in whole, made other than to (A)
another Lender, (B) a separately organized branch of a Lender or (C) a Related Lender Party,
shall reflect an assignment of such assigning Lender’s Note and Commitment which is in an
aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000, and if greater, shall be in an integral
multiple of $100,000.




     (ii) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (A) each Lender
may at any time pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and each of
the other Loan Documents, including without limitation its Loans and the Notes held by such
Lender, to a Federal Reserve Bank (or equivalent thereof in the case of Lenders chartered
outside of the United States) in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such
Federal Reserve Bank, (B) with the consent of each Agent, any Lender which is a fund may
pledge all or any portion of its Notes or Loans to its trustee in support of its
obligations to its trustee, and (C) any such pledgee may enforce such pledge. No pledge
pursuant to this subsection (ii), and no enforcement thereof by the pledgee, shall release
the transferor Lender from any of its obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents.




     (iii) Any assignments and/or delegations made hereunder shall be pursuant to an
instrument of assignment and acceptance (the “Assignment and Acceptance”)
substantially in the form of Schedule 12 and the parties to each such assignment
shall execute and deliver to Collateral Agent for its acceptance the Assignment and
Acceptance together with any Note or Notes subject thereto. Upon such execution and
delivery, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance,
which effective date shall be at least five (5) Business Days after the execution thereof,
(A) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto, to the Loan Documents, and, to the
extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender hereunder with the applicable Commitment set forth therein and (B) the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such assignment, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement as to that portion of its obligation being so assigned and
delegated. The Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the
extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the assignee as a
Lender and the resulting adjustment of Commitments arising from the purchase by and
delegation to such assignee of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such
assigning Lender under this Agreement.




     (iv) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender
and the assignee together with the Note subject to such assignment (or a standard indemnity
letter from the respective assigning Lender in respect of any lost Note) and payment by the
assignee to Collateral Agent of a registration and processing fee of $5,000, Collateral
Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that
in lieu of such processing fee, on not more than two (2) occasions involving assignments to
an Affiliate, the assigning Lender shall be obligated to pay to



 - 93 - 









 







Collateral Agent only Collateral Agent’s out-of-pocket expenses incurred in documenting and
reviewing such assignment (including reasonable attorneys’ fees). Promptly upon delivering such
Assignment and Acceptance to Collateral Agent, the assigning Lender shall give notice thereof to
Borrowers and Collateral Agent. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice,
Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Collateral Agent in exchange for each such surrendered Note
a new Note payable to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the portion of the
Commitment assumed by such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and a new Note
payable to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the portion of the Commitment
retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and
Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form provided in Section 2.01. Canceled
Notes shall be returned to Borrowers upon the execution and delivery of such new Notes.




     (v) Each Lender may sell participations in all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments and the
Notes held by it); provided, however, that, (A) the selling Lender shall remain
obligated under this Agreement to the extent as it would if it had not sold such participation,
(B) the selling Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations, (C) at no time shall the selling Lender agree with such
participant to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document,
except that the selling Lender may agree not to consent, without such participant’s consent, to
any of the actions referred to Article XI, to the extent that the same require the consent of each
Lender hereunder, (D) all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such
Lender had not sold such participation and no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater
amount pursuant to this Agreement than the selling Lender would have been entitled to
receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such Lender to such
participant had no such transfer occurred, and (E) Borrowers, Collateral Agent, and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the selling Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.




     (vi) Except for an assignment made to (A) another Lender, (B) a separately organized branch
of a Lender, (C) a Related Lender Party or (D) an Eligible Transferee, no assignment referred to
above shall be permitted without the prior written consent of each Agent, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed.




     (vii) Borrowers may not assign any of their rights or delegate any of their duties or
obligations hereunder.




     (viii) To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitment and
outstanding Loans pursuant to subsection (b) of Article XI or this Article XII would, due
to circumstances existing at the time of such assignment, result in costs under Sections 2.07, 2.09
or 2.10 which are increased from those being charged by the assigning Lender prior to such
assignment, then Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although Borrowers
shall be obligated to pay any other



 - 94 - 









 







increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the
respective assignment).




     (ix) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation pursuant to
this Section, disclose to the assignee or participant any information relating to the
Borrowers and their Affiliates furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of Borrowers and
such assignee or participant shall treat such information as confidential.




     (x) No Lender shall sell any Participation or Loan interest to a Person that, by
virtue of ownership of debt and/or equity in EBC, would be deemed to hold an attributable
ownership interest in any of the Borrowers in violations of applicable FCC rules and
regulations.



     XIII. MISCELLANEOUS.



     Section 13.01. Survival. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto,
shall survive the making by Lenders of the Loans and shall continue in full force and effect so

de jure or de facto, if such assignment or transfer of control would require under then existing
law (including, without limitation, the FCC Rules), the prior approval of the FCC, without first
obtaining such approval. Each Lender specifically agrees that (a) if FCC consent is required,
voting rights in the Equity Securities of each Borrower will remain with the Equity Holders
thereof even in an Event of Default unless any required prior consent of the FCC shall be obtained
to the transfer of such voting rights; (b) in an Event of Default, there will be either a private
or public sale of the ownership interests of each Borrower; and (c) prior to the exercise of
Equity Holder rights by a purchaser at such sale, the prior consent of the FCC pursuant to 47
U.S.C. § 310(d), in each case only if required, will be obtained prior to such exercise. Each
Borrower agrees to take any action which either Agent or any Lender may reasonably request in
order to cause Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Lenders to obtain and enjoy the full
rights and benefits granted by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including
specifically, at the cost and expense of Borrower, the use of its best efforts to assist in
obtaining approval of each Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, each Specified
Authority, for any action or transaction .contemplated by this Agreement or any Security Document
which is then required by law, and specifically, without limitation, upon request following an
Event of Default, to prepare, sign and file (or cause to be filed) with the Specified Authority or
such other Governmental Authority the assignor’s, transferor’s or controlling person’s portion of
any application or applications for consent to (i) the assignment of any License or transfer or
control thereof, (ii) any sale or sales of property constituting any Collateral by or on behalf of
Lenders or (iii) any assumption by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lenders or their
designees of voting rights or management rights in property constituting any Collateral effected
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.



     Section 13.13. Disclaimer of Reliance. Borrowers have not relied on any oral
representations concerning any of the terms or conditions of the Loans, the Notes, this Agreement
or any of the Security Documents in entering into the same. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees
that none of the officers of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Documentation Agent or any
Lender has made any representations that are inconsistent with the



 - 100 - 









 




terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Notes and the Security Documents, and neither a
Borrower nor any of its Affiliates has relied on any oral promises or representations in
connection therewith.




     Section 13.14. Environmental Indemnification. Without limiting the generality
of Section 13.02, in consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Lenders and
the making of the Loans, each Borrower hereby indemnifies, exonerates and holds Lenders, Agents,
Documentation Agent and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents
(collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) free and harmless from and against any and all
actions, causes of action, suits, losses, costs, liabilities and damages, and reasonable expenses
incurred in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnified Parry is a party to
the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Indemnified
Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to:



     (a) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to any environmental cleanup, audit,
compliance or other matter relating to the protection of the environment or the release by each
Borrower of any Hazardous Material; or



     (b) the presence on or under, or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission,
release from, any real property owned or operated by each Borrower of any Hazardous Material
(including any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims asserted or
arising under any Environmental Law), regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of,
each Borrower;
except, in each case, for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising for the account of a particular
Indemnified Party by reason of the relevant Indemnified Party’s negligence or misconduct, and if
and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, Borrower
agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified
Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein contained, the obligations and liabilities under this Section shall survive and continue in
full force and effect and shall not be terminated, discharged or released in whole or in part
irrespective of whether all the Obligations have been paid in full or the Commitments have been
terminated and irrespective of any foreclosure of any mortgage, deed of trust or collateral
assignment on any real property or acceptance by any Lender of a deed or assignment in lieu of
foreclosure.




     Section 13.15. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Agents and Lenders and their respective successors and
assigns, except that Borrowers shall not have the right to assign any of their rights hereunder or
delegate any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required
Lenders. Any such impermissible assignment or delegation shall be void and of no effect.



     Section 13.16. Maximum Enforceability. Notwithstanding any provision
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, it is the intention and
agreement of each Borrower, Lenders and Agents that the obligations of each Borrower under this
Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party shall be valid and enforceable
against such



 - 101 - 









 




Borrower to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, if any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document creating any obligation of a Borrower in favor of an Agent or
Lenders shall be declared to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect or to any extent, it is
the stated intention and agreement of Borrowers, Lenders and Agents that any balance of the
obligation created by such provision and all other obligations of such Borrower to Agents and
Lenders created by other provisions of this Agreement and Loan Documents shall remain valid and
enforceable. Likewise, if any sums which an Agent or any Lender may be otherwise entitled to
collect from a Borrower under this Agreement or other Loan Document shall be declared to be in
excess of those permitted under any law (including any federal or state fraudulent conveyance or
like statute or rule of law) applicable to such Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement or
other Loan Document, it is the stated intention and agreement of such Borrower, Lenders and Agents
that all sums not in excess of those permitted under such Applicable Law shall remain fully
collectible by Agents and Lenders from such Borrower, and such excess sums shall nevertheless
survive as a subordinate obligation of such Borrower, junior in right to the claims of general
unsecured creditors. This provision shall control every other provision of the Loan Documents.




     Section 13.17. Suretyship Waivers and Consents.



     (a) Unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary, each covenant, agreement,
obligation, representation and warranty of the Borrowers contained herein constitutes the joint
and several undertaking of each Borrower.



     (b) Each Borrower acknowledges that the obligations of such Borrower undertaken herein might
be construed to consist, at least in part, of the guaranty of obligations of the other Borrowers
and, in full recognition of that fact, each Borrower consents and agrees that the Lender may, at
any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, whether before or after any actual or
purported termination, repudiation or revocation of this Agreement by any Borrower, and without
affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof as to such Borrower: (i) with the
consent of the other Borrowers, supplement, restate, modify, amend, increase, decrease, extend,
renew or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of this Agreement or any part thereof,
including any increase or decrease of the rate(s) of interest thereon; (ii) supplement, restate,
modify, amend, increase, decrease or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval or
consent with respect to, this Agreement or any part thereof, or any of the Security Documents, or
any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder;
(iii) accept partial payments; (iv) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, fail to perfect,
subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer or enforce any security or guarantees, and apply any
security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Lender in its sole and absolute
discretion may determine; (v) release any person from any personal liability with respect to this
Agreement or any part thereof, (vi) settle, release on terms satisfactory to Required Lenders or
by operation of applicable law or otherwise liquidate or enforce any security or guaranty in any
manner, consent to the transfer of any security and bid and purchase at any sale; or (vii) consent
to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of me corporate or partnership
existence of any Borrower or any other person, and correspondingly restructure the obligations
evidenced hereby, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not affect the
liability of any Borrower or the continuing




 - 102 - 









 







effectiveness hereof, or the enforceability hereof with respect to all or any part of the
obligations evidenced hereby.




     (c) Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of Lenders may enforce
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents independently as to each Borrower and independently of
any other remedy or security the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or the Lenders at any time
may have or hold in connection with the obligations evidenced hereby, and it shall not be necessary
for the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any
other person or to proceed upon or against or exhaust any security or remedy before proceeding to
enforce this Agreement. Each Borrower expressly waives any right to require Administrative Agent
and Collateral Agent to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed
against any other Borrower or any Collateral provided by any Person, and agrees that Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent may proceed against Borrowers or any Collateral in such order as it shall
determine in its sole and absolute discretion.



     (d) Lenders’ rights hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this
Agreement shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of a Borrowers’
obligations to Lenders which thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned by Lenders,
all as though such amount had not been paid.



     (e) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower expressly waives any and
all defenses now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (i) any disability or other defense
of the other Borrowers with respect to the obligations evidenced hereby, (ii) the unenforceability
or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the obligations evidenced hereby or the lack of
perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the obligations
evidenced hereby, (iii) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of the other
Borrowers (other than by reason of the full payment and performance of all Obligations),
(iv) any act or omission of Lenders or Agents or others that directly or indirectly results in or
aids the discharge or release of any Borrower or the Obligations evidenced hereby or any security
or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise, (v) the avoidance of any lien in favor of
Lenders or Agents for any reason, or (vi) any action taken by Lenders or Agents that is authorized
by this Section or any other provision hereof or of any Security Document. Until such time, if
any, as all of the Obligations have been paid and performed in full and no portion of any
Commitments under any agreement remains in effect, no Borrower shall have any right of subrogation,
contribution, reimbursement or indemnity, and each Borrower expressly waives any right to enforce
any remedy that Lenders or Agents now have or hereafter may have against any other Person and
waives the benefit of, or any right to participate in, any Collateral now or hereafter held by
Lenders or Agents.



     (f) Each of the Persons composing Borrowers waives all rights and defenses arising out of an
election of remedies by either Agent or any Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as
a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such
Agent’s or such Lender’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against such Borrower by the
operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.



 - 103 - 









 





     (g) Each of the Persons composing Borrowers waives all rights and defenses that such Borrower
may have because the Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things:




     (i) Agents and Lenders may collect from such Borrower without first
foreclosing on any real or personal property Collateral pledged by Borrowers.




     (ii) If an Agent or any Lender forecloses on any real property Collateral
pledged by Borrowers:




     A. The amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which
that Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth
more than the sale price.




     B. Agents and Lenders may collect from such Borrower even if Agents or Lenders,
by foreclosing on the real property Collateral, has destroyed any right such
Borrower may have to collect from the other Borrowers.


This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Borrower may have
because the Obligations are secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are
not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the
California Code of Civil Procedure.




     Section 13.18 EBC as Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints EBC as the borrowing agent and attomey-in-fact for all Borrowers (the “Borrower
Representative”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each
Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed
Borrower Representative. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Borrower
Representative (i) to provide Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Lenders with all notices
with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other
notices and instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as Borrower
Representative deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Loans and Letters of Credit and to
exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this
Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Loans and Collateral of Borrowers in a
combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers
in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and
economical manner and at their request, and that Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and
Lenders shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof.



     Section 13.19 Integration; Effectiveness of Agreement.



     (a) This Agreement supersedes the Borrowers’ application for the Loans, the Lenders’
commitments and proposal letters in respect of the Loans, the Original Credit Agreement, the A&R
Credit Agreement and all other prior written or oral agreements and representations between the
parties hereto and their respective agents, employees or officers with respect to the credit
facilities extended hereby, and this Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, constitutes
the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.



 - 104 - 









 






     (b) This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Original Credit Agreement
and the A&R Credit Agreement in their entirety and supersedes any inconsistent terms or provisions
contained in the Original Credit Agreement and the A&R Credit Agreement. All Indebtedness of the
Borrowers under the Original Credit Agreement and the A&R Credit Agreement shall hereafter
constitute Obligations subject to this Agreement.



     (c) This Agreement shall become effective only upon acceptance and execution of this Agreement
by Collateral Agent in Santa Monica, California, after its receipt in Santa Monica, California, of
counterparts of this Agreement executed by Borrowers, Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent and
Lenders.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Lenders and Borrowers have
caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective duly authorized representatives, as a
sealed instrument, all as of the day and year first above written.

	 	Re:
	 	Notice of Conversion or Continuation under the Second Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement dated as of June 29, 2004 among Equity Broadcasting Corporation, an

and each individually, a “Borrower”), the Lenders from time to time party
thereto, Silver Point Finance, LLC, as Administrative Agent and Documentation Agent for
the Lenders, and Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., as Collateral Agent (as amended, restated,

Ladies and Gentlemen:




     Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, this Notice of Conversion or
Continuation (“Notice”) is delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 2.02 of

LITIGATION





	l.	 	Paxson Communications of Phoenix 13, Inc., Paxson Phoenix License, Inc., DP Media of St.
Louis, Inc. and DP Media License of St. Louis, Inc. v. EBC Flagstaff, Inc. and EBC (Filed
February 8, 2002). Filed in the United States District Court in the Southern District of
Florida. Case Number 02-80119. Paxson sued demanding early payment on two promissory notes
for St. Louis and Flagstaff. Paxson claimed a breach of the Flagstaff promissory note because
the Flagstaff station has been sold. The St. Louis note should not be a part of the lawsuit.
The notes were due on December 21, 2002. EBC filed a counterclaim that Paxson breached the
Asset Purchase Agreement in two respects: (1) Paxson did not rebuild the low power translator
in downtown St. Louis by the end of December as called for in the Asset Purchase Agreement and
(2) the Asset Purchase Agreement stated that the digital tower that EBC is to build would be
approved by the FAA for 1,000 feet. The approval came out in August for 754 feet. Paxson
knew the approval would be lower than 1,000 feet prior to signing the Asset Purchase
Agreement, but did not convey this to EBC. This lawsuit was remanded for arbitration. The
arbitration was held in September 2003. EBC was awarded in excess of $900,000 in compensatory
damages. The arbitration is continued to July over issues arising from most favored nation
clauses in four affiliation agreements. The parties have also had settlement discussions. It
is unknown whether or not these settlement discussions will be successful in ending this
dispute. EBC expects to also prevail in these hearings and in the award for attorney fees.
Attorney for EBC is Jeff Sanders (212) 218-5280.
	 
	2.	 	John Jenkins, Plaintiff v. Arkansas Sports Entertainment, L.L.C. d/b/a Arkansas Twisters
Football League, Defendant. Filed in the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas 3rd
Division. Case No. VC 01-3023. John Jenkins is the previous coach of the Arkansas Twisters.
Prior to EBC’s ownership of ASE he was fired for cause. He is suing for the salary due under
his contract. His contract allows for termination based upon non-satisfactory performance of
coaching duties. The Arena Football 2 League is funding the attorney’s fees. In all
probability, ASE will only be responsible for a part of the attorney’s fees only. This case
has been delayed until February, 2005. Attorney for ASE is Allen Dobson (501) 371-9999.

Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Pursuant to Article XIII of the Credit Agreement,
on and after the Effective Date, Assignee shall have the rights, benefits and obligations of a
Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to the Purchased Percentage. After giving effect to
the assignment and delegation provided herein, the respective Commitments and outstanding Loans of
the parties hereto shall be as set forth on Schedule A hereto, which Schedule also contains

forth in Section 2 hereof and the other consideration set forth herein, and effective as of the
Effective Date, Assignee does hereby accept the foregoing assignment of rights and delegation of
obligations, and does hereby assume and covenant and agree fully, completely and timely to perform,
comply with and discharge, each and all of the obligations, duties and liabilities of Assignor
under the Credit Agreement, which are assigned and delegated to Assignee hereunder, which
assumption includes, without limitation, the obligation to fund the unfunded portion of the
Purchased Percentage of the Assignor’s Commitment in accordance with the provisions set forth



 









 







in the Credit Agreement. Assignee agrees to be bound by all provisions relating to the
Lenders under, and as defined in, the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, provisions
relating to the dissemination of information and the payment of indemnification. From and after
the Effective Date, Assignor is released from Assignor’s obligations with respect to the Purchased

portion, if any, to be paid, and the date or dates for payment, by Assignor to Assignee of any fees

(b) the portion, if any, to be paid, and the date or dates for payment, by Assignee to Assignor of
fees or interest received by Assignee pursuant to the Credit Agreement from and after the Effective

to receive from Agent all payments of principal, interest and fees with respect to the Purchased

consideration for the sale and assignment of Loans hereunder, (a) on the date of execution hereof,

Assignor an amount equal to the Purchased Percentage (if any) of all Loans made by Assignor
outstanding on the Effective Date or such other purchase price for the Purchased Percentage of the
applicable Loans agreed to by Assignor and Assignee. On and after the Effective Date, Assignee
will also remit to Assignor any amounts of interest on Loans and fees received from Agent which
relate to the Purchased Percentage of the applicable Loans made by Assignor accrued for periods
prior to the Effective Date. In the event that either party hereto receives any payment to which

Exhibit A




AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURED REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE




	 	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	Santa Monica, California

	$__,000,000.00
	 	 Dated
as of                     , 2004







     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (collectively, the “Borrowers” and individually, a
“Borrower”), hereby jointly and severally promise to pay to [ ], a                      (the
“Payee”), or to its order, at its principal office at                     , the principal sum of [
] MILLION DOLLARS ($___,000,000.00) or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances made by
the Payee to the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of that certain Second Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement dated as of June 29, 2004, 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,
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 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 “Revolving Credit Notes” 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 amends, restates, modifies, and replaces, but does not extinguish the indebtedness
evidenced by, that certain Amended and Restated Secured Revolving Credit Note dated as of August
15, 2003 executed by A&R Borrowers payable to the order of Payee, and all liens and pledges
securing such indebtedness are hereby reaffirmed and continued.



- 2 -









 





     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.



     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Borrower has caused this Amended and Restated Secured Revolving
Credit Note to be executed under seal by its duly authorized representative as of the date first
above written.

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” 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.
