RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, on May 4, 2009, the DIRECTV Group, Inc. (“DIRECTV”)
and Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty Media”), announced that they,
together with certain affiliated entities, had entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated as of May 3, 2009, as amended (the “Merger
Agreement”), to combine, subject to the terms and conditions thereof,
DIRECTV with Liberty Entertainment, Inc. (“LEI”), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Liberty Media, to form the Company;

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement each of the Malones will, among other things, receive shares of
Holdings Class A Common Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement);

 

WHEREAS, between May 12, 2009 and May 19, 2009, four proposed
shareholder class actions (the “Delaware Actions”) were filed in the Court
of Chancery in the State of Delaware (the “Court”) against DIRECTV,
Liberty Media, LEI and certain present and former members of the board of
directors of DIRECTV (collectively, the “Defendants”), alleging that the
Defendants breached their fiduciary duties, or aided and abetted the breach of
fiduciary duties owed by other Defendants, to DIRECTV and its unaffiliated

WHEREAS, in connection with the settlement of the Action pursuant to
the Stipulation, the parties hereto have agreed that at the time of the closing
of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement the Company and the
Malones will enter into this Agreement which restricts the Malones from making
certain purchases or other acquisitions of additional shares of Holdings Class A
Common Stock.

 

AGREEMENTS

 

In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements and
covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending
to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1.   Definitions.  For purposes of this
Agreement, capitalized terms used and not defined herein will have the
respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement. Terms defined in
the singular shall have the same meanings when used in the plural and vice
versa.

 

2.   Standstill.

 

(a)           Each Malone agrees,
severally for himself, herself or itself and not jointly with any other Malone,
that during the period commencing from and after the Merger Effective

 

2

 

Time
and ending on the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4, he,
she or it will not purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Holdings Class A
Common Stock other than a purchase or other acquisition that is a Permitted
Acquisition. For the purposes of this Agreement, each of the following
acquisitions of shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock by a Malone will
be deemed a “Permitted Acquisition”:

 

(i)           any acquisition of shares of
Holdings Class A Common Stock from the Company pursuant to the Merger
Agreement;

 

(ii)          any acquisition of shares of
Holdings Class A Common Stock from another Malone;

 

(iii)         any acquisition of shares of
Holdings Class A Common Stock pursuant to the grant, exercise or vesting
of any equity incentive awards;

 

(iv)        any acquisition of shares of
Holdings Class A Common Stock as a result of any stock dividend, stock
split or other distribution so long as such dividend or distribution is made on
a pro rata basis to all holders of Holdings Common Stock;

 

(v)         any acquisition of shares of
Holdings Class A Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any rights,
warrants or other securities issued or distributed to all holders of Holdings
Common Stock on a pro rata basis;

 

(vi)        any acquisition of shares of
Holdings Class A Common Stock received in exchange for shares of Holdings Class B
Common Stock so long as the aggregate voting power of the Malones,
collectively, does not increase as a result of such exchange;

 

(vii)       any acquisition of shares of
Holdings Class A Common Stock upon the redemption of shares of Holdings Class B
Common Stock following the death 

 

3

 

of JCM in accordance with the provisions of the certificate of incorporation
of the Company, as amended in accordance with Section 1.5(c) of the
Merger Agreement; and

 

(viii)      commencing on the first
anniversary of the Split-Off Effective Time, any acquisition of shares of
Holdings Class A Common Stock (in open market transactions or otherwise)
in an amount not to exceed a number of shares equal to 1.0% of the number of
shares of Holdings Common Stock outstanding (on a fully diluted basis)
immediately following the Merger Effective Time (with such number of shares to
be subject to adjustment to reflect the effects of stock splits, reverse
splits, stock dividends and similar events occurring after the Merger Effective
Time); provided, that the Malones will not acquire more than 50% of the
number of shares permitted to be acquired pursuant to this clause (viii) prior
to the second anniversary of the Split-Off Effective Time; and provided,
further, that shares acquired by any Malone pursuant to clauses (i) through
(vii) above will not be counted against acquisitions permitted pursuant to
this clause (viii).

 

3.             Representations
and Warranties.  The Company, on
the one hand, and each of the Malones, severally and not jointly, on the other
hand, hereby represents and warrants to the other as follows:

 

(a)           Such party has the legal right
and all requisite power and authority to make and enter into this Agreement and
to perform his, her or its obligations hereunder and comply with the provisions
hereof. If such party is other than a natural person, the execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement by such party has been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate, trust or other action on its part. This Agreement has been
duly executed and delivered by such party and constitutes the valid and binding
obligation of such party enforceable

 

4

 

against
him, her or it in accordance with its terms except as enforcement may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting
the rights of creditors generally and except that the availability of equitable
remedies, including specific performance, is subject to the discretion of the
court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought;

 

(b)           The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by such party, and the compliance by such party
with the provisions hereof, do not and will not (with or without notice or
lapse of time, or both) conflict with, or result in any violation of, or
default under, or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration
of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, any loan or credit
agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement,
instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, decree,
statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to such party or
any of his, her or its properties or assets, other than any such conflicts,
violations, defaults, or other effects which, individually or in the aggregate,
do not and will not prevent, restrict or impede such party’s performance of
his, her or its obligations under and compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement. If such party is other than a natural person, the execution,
delivery and performance of and compliance with this Agreement by it does not and
will not contravene its certificate of incorporation, by-laws, trust agreement
or other organizational document currently in effect or, in the case of the
Company, those contemplated by the Merger Agreement to be in effect after the
Closing; and

 

(c)           No consent, approval, order
or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any
governmental or regulatory authority or any other person is required by such
party in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this
Agreement by such party, other than as may be required under applicable Federal
and state securities laws.

4.             Termination.

 

(a)           This Agreement will continue
in full force and effect until the earliest to occur of (i) such time as
the Malones in the aggregate do not own shares of Holdings Class B Common
Stock entitling them to vote at least 10% of the combined voting power of the
Holdings Class A Common Stock and the Holdings Class B Common Stock; (ii) 5 p.m.
Eastern Time on the Business Day immediately preceding the third anniversary of
the Mergers; (iii) the death of JCM and (iv) June 30, 2010 in
the event the Effective Date (as such term is defined in the Stipulation) has
not occurred prior to such date.

 

(b)           Upon the termination or
expiration of this Agreement as provided herein, all of the covenants and
agreements set forth in this Agreement applicable to any party shall terminate
and be of no further force and effect.

 

5.             Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           Remedies.  The parties agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this
Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were
otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled
to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to
enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

 

(b)           Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the

construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

6

 

(d)           Jurisdiction.          All actions and proceedings arising
out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined in the Court
of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if the Court of Chancery lacks
subject matter jurisdiction, in any federal court sitting in the State of
Delaware, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of such courts (and, in the case of appeals, appropriate appellate
courts therefrom) in any such action or proceeding and irrevocably waive the
defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or
proceeding. The consents to jurisdiction set forth in this paragraph shall not
constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and
shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and
shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the parties
hereto. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. EACH OF
THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.

 

(e)           Assignment; Successors.   Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights,
interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or delegated in whole or
in part, by operation of Law, or otherwise, by any of the parties without the
prior written consent of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence,
this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, a
successor to the Company only in the event that (i) such successor entity
results from a merger involving the Company, (ii) the stockholders of the
Company immediately prior to any such merger are the sole stockholders of such
successor immediately after such merger, and (iii) the rights, privileges
and preferences of the respective classes of common stock

 

7

 

received by holders of
Holdings Class A Common Stock and Holdings Class B Common Stock in
such merger are, in all material respects, the same as the rights, privileges
and preferences of the Holdings Class A Common Stock and Holdings Class B
Common Stock, respectively, held by such persons immediately prior to such
merger.

 

(f)            Descriptive Headings.         Headings of Sections and subsections of
this Agreement are for convenience of the parties only, and shall be given no
substantive or interpretive effect whatsoever.

 

(g)           Entire Agreement; No Third-Party
Beneficiaries.           This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties, and supersedes
all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the
parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof;
provided, that nothing herein will be deemed to affect the validity of
or the obligations of the parties under the Voting and Right of First Refusal
Agreement, dated as of May 3, 2009, as amended, by and among LEI, DIRECTV,
the Company and each of the Malones. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed as giving any person, other than the parties hereto and as provided
in Section 5(e) any right, remedy or claim under or in respect of
this Agreement or any provision hereof.

respect to one or more Tranches to the Borrower from time to time, on any

(b)                    The Borrower

Tranche having a Loan Amount at Maturity set forth for such Tranche in the
fourth column of Schedule 1 hereto (collectively, the “Initial Loans”).

 

2.02              Borrowings.

 

(a)                     Each
borrowing of a Loan other than the Initial Loans shall be made upon the
Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Lender, which may be given by telephone.
Each such notice must be received by the Lender not later than 10:00 a.m.
on the third Business Day (the seventh Business Day if the aggregate Proceeds
of the proposed Loans is $250,000,000 or more) prior to the requested Funding
Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to
the provisions of Section 9.02(d), any such telephonic notice may
be given by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or an individual who has been
authorized in writing to do so by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each
such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Lender of
a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower. Each borrowing of one or more Loans on a particular
Funding Date shall have an aggregate Loan Amount at Maturity of $25,000,000 or
more. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (1) the
requested Funding Date of the proposed Loan or Loans (which shall be a Business
Day), (2) the Tranche to which each Loan is related, (3) the
requested Proceeds for each Loan and (4) the expected Loan Amount at
Maturity of each Loan to be borrowed. Not later than the Business Day
immediately following the day that the Borrower delivers a completed Loan
Notice to the Lender, the Lender shall calculate and notify the Borrower of the
Loan Amount at Maturity applicable to such Proceeds for each Loan requested to
be borrowed on the related Funding Date.

satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.01
(in the case of the Initial Loans) and Section 4.02 (in the case of
all Loans), the Lender shall advance an amount equal to the Proceeds related to
each Loan being made on the applicable Funding Date either by (1) crediting
the account of the Borrower on the books of the Lender with the amount of such
advance or (2) wire transfer of such amount, in each case in accordance
with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Lender by the
Borrower.

the preceding clause (i), in the case of the Initial Loans, the entire Proceeds
shall be netted against the purchase price of the Purchased DTV Shares and none
of the Proceeds thereof will be distributed to the Borrower on the initial
Funding Date.

Prepayments. With respect to each Loan, the Borrower may, upon notice to
the Lender, voluntarily prepay the related Loan Amount at Maturity, in full or
in part, by payment to the Lender of the applicable Prepayment Amount. The
Borrower may prepay one or more Loans on any single Business Day; provided
that the aggregate Prepaid Loan Amount at Maturity of Loans being repaid on any
single Business Day is not less than $25,000,000 or increments of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof. With respect to each Loan being prepaid, notice of prepayment
must be received by the Lender not later than 10:00 a.m. on the third
Business Day preceding the date of the prepayment and shall specify the date of
the prepayment, the Tranche of such Loan and the Prepaid Loan Amount at
Maturity of such Loan. Not later than two Business Days before the date of
repayment, the Lender shall calculate and notify the Borrower of the applicable
Prepayment Amount. If notice of prepayment is given by the Borrower, payment of
the foregoing amount with respect to the Loan to be prepaid shall be due and
payable on the prepayment date specified therein.

 

(b)                    Mandatory
Prepayments. If at any time the amount of a Commitment with respect to a
Tranche shall be reduced pursuant to Section 2.04, the Borrower
shall on the date of such reduction prepay the Loan Amount at Maturity of one
or more Loans related to such Tranche such that the aggregate Loan Amount at
Maturity of the Loans related to such Tranche immediately after such prepayment
does not exceed the amount of such Commitment as so reduced and the amount of
such prepayment shall be allocated among the Loans of such Tranche in such
manner as may be determined by the Borrower and notified to the Lender. With
respect to each Loan being prepaid pursuant to the preceding sentence, any such
prepayment shall be in an amount equal to the applicable Prepayment Amount.

 

2.04              Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

respect to a Tranche, the product of the Put Strike Price (as defined in the
Collar Transaction for the Related Component), the number of Options (as so
defined) and the Option Entitlement (as so defined) is reduced pursuant to the
terms thereof (which for the avoidance of doubt includes any reduction due to a
partial or full termination of the Related Component), the Commitment for such
Tranche shall be automatically and permanently reduced on the date of such
reduction by a corresponding amount.

 

(b)                    On each
Gradual Repayment Date pursuant to Section 2.05(b), the Commitment
for the applicable Tranche shall be automatically and permanently reduced on
such date by an amount equal to the corresponding Gradual Repayment Amount.

(a)                     With respect
to all the Loans of a Tranche outstanding, if any, on the related Maturity
Date, the Borrower shall repay to the Lender on such date an amount equal to
the aggregate Loan Amount at Maturity for such Loans plus any amount
payable by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.08.

 

14

 

 

(b)                    With respect
to each Tranche and each Gradual Repayment Date related thereto, the Lender
shall on the related Gradual Repayment Notification Date notify the Borrower
not later than 11:00 a.m. on such date of the Gradual Repayment Amount due
on such Gradual Repayment Date. On such Gradual Repayment Date, the Borrower
shall pay to the Lender an amount equal to such Gradual Repayment Amount and
the aggregate Loan Amount at Maturity of all Loans of such Tranche shall be
reduced pro rata by a corresponding amount.

 

2.06              Interest. If any amount payable by the
Borrower under any Loan Document (other than the Collar Transaction Documents)
is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether
at prepayment, stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall
thereafter bear interest at an interest rate per annum at all times equal to
the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, which interest
shall accrue from the date such overdue amount was originally due to the date
of payment in full of such amount, including interest thereon, has been made to
the Lender. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts, including interest
on interest, shall be due and payable upon demand. Interest hereunder shall be
due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment,
and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief
Law.

 

2.07              Computation of Interest. Unless otherwise
provided herein, all computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a
360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid
than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).

 

2.08              Averaging Period Interest Refund. With
respect to a Tranche, on each Gradual Repayment Notification Date related
thereto, the Lender shall notify the Borrower of the Averaging Period Interest
Refund in respect of the related Gradual Repayment Date. On such Gradual
Repayment Date, if such Averaging Period Interest Refund is a positive number,
the Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such number and if such
Averaging Period Interest Refund is a negative number, the Borrower shall pay
to the Lender an amount equal to the absolute value of such negative number; provided
that if on any Gradual Repayment Date the Lender shall owe one or more
Averaging Period Interest Refunds to the Borrower and the Borrower shall owe
one or more Averaging Period Interest Refunds or Gradual Repayment Amounts to
the Lender, such amounts shall be netted and the net amount shall be paid by
the applicable party to the other party.

 

2.09              Evidence of Debt. The Loans made by the
Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the
Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained
by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Any failure to so
record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect
the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect
to the Obligations. Upon the request of the Lender, the Borrower shall execute
and deliver to the Lender a Note with respect to each Tranche, which shall
evidence the Loans related to such Tranche in addition to such accounts or
records. The Lender may attach schedules to each Note and endorse thereon the
date, the aggregate Loan Amount at Maturity related to such Tranche and the
Maturity Date for all the Loans related to such Tranche and payments with
respect thereto.

2.10              Payments Generally.

 

(a)                     All payments
to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any
counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff (except as may be permitted by the
second paragraph of Section 9.09 and Section 2.08).
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower
hereunder shall be made to the Lender at the applicable Lending Office in
Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the
date specified herein. All payments received by the Lender after 3:00 p.m.
shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable
interest shall continue to accrue.

 

(b)                    If any payment
to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day,
payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of
time shall be reflected in computing interest or present value.

 

(c)                     Nothing
herein shall be deemed to obligate the Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan
in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by the
Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any
particular place or manner.

 

(d)                    The
determination of the Reference LIBOR Rate, the Interpolated Zero Coupon Swap
Rate, any Loan Amount at Maturity, any Prepaid Loan Amount at Maturity, any
Prepayment Amount, any Averaging Period Interest Refund, any Gradual Repayment
Amount and all other calculations hereunder by the Lender shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. With respect to any of the foregoing determinations,
unless another time period is specified herein, as soon as reasonably
practicable after the determination thereof, the Lender shall notify the
Borrower of each such determination including reasonable detail regarding the
calculation thereof.

 

2.11              Modification of Margin Delimited Commitment.

 

(a)                     Upon the
pledge of additional Eligible Collateral pursuant to the Pledge Agreement and
provided that the Lender has received not less than two Business Days’ prior
notice of the allocation of such additional Eligible Collateral to a Tranche,
the Margin Delimited Commitment applicable to such Tranche shall be increased
by an amount equal to the Maximum Loan Value of such Eligible Collateral on the
date the Lender receives a perfected, first priority security interest in such
Eligible Collateral under the Pledge Agreement.

 

(b)                    The Borrower
may, at any time upon two Business Days’ prior notice to the Lender, request a
recalculation of the Maximum Loan Value of the Collateral relating to a
Tranche, and after such recalculation, the Margin Delimited Commitment
applicable to such Tranche shall be equal to the Maximum Loan Value as of such
date of recalculation of the Collateral allocated to such Tranche.

 

(c)                     With respect
to any Tranche, if the Margin Delimited Commitment for such Tranche is modified
pursuant to this Section 2.11, on such date of modification, the
Borrower shall deliver to the Lender a duly executed “Statement of Purpose for
an Extension of Credit Secured by Margin Stock” on Federal Reserve Form U-l
with respect to such Tranche, completed in form and substance satisfactory to
the Lender.

ARTICLE III

TAXES,
YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

 

3.01     Taxes.

 

(a)       Any and all payments by the Borrower to
or for the account of the Lender under this Agreement, a Note or the Pledge
Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all
present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments,
fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect
thereto, excluding taxes imposed on or measured by the Lender’s overall
net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by
the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which
the Lender is organized or maintains a lending office, which excluded taxes
include, for the avoidance of doubt, United States federal income taxes imposed
on a Lender which is organized within the United States (all such non-excluded
taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or
similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).
If the Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in
respect of any sum payable under any such document to the Lender, (i) the
sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section), the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make
such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to
the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with
applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days after the date of such payment,
the Borrower shall furnish to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a
receipt evidencing payment thereof.

 

(b)       In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay
any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other
excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any
payment made under this Agreement, any Note or the Pledge Agreement or from the
execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise
with respect to, any such document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

 

(c)       If the Borrower shall be required to
deduct or pay any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
under this Agreement, any Note or the Pledge Agreement to the Lender, the
Borrower shall also pay to the Lender, at the time interest is paid, such
additional amount that the Lender specifies is necessary to preserve the
after-tax yield (after factoring in all taxes, including taxes imposed on or
measured by net income) that the Lender would have received if such Taxes or
Other Taxes had not been imposed.

 

(d)       The Borrower agrees to indemnify the
Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable
under this Section) paid by the Lender, (ii) amounts payable under Section 3.01(c) and
(iii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or
not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by
the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this subsection (d) shall
be made within 30 days after the date the Lender makes a demand therefor.

 

17

 

(e)       The Lender shall deliver to the Borrower
on the Closing Date a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9. Prior
to the expiration of such form, the Lender shall deliver a new properly
completed and executed IRS Form W-9 (or successor form). The Borrower
shall be entitled to rely upon such form and, notwithstanding the other provisions
of Section 3.01 to the contrary, shall be held harmless by the
Lender for any losses sustained from relying upon such form. If, pursuant to Section 9.07(b),
the Lender assigns its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an
Eligible Assignee, such assignee shall deliver to the Borrower, prior to the
date on which the first payment to such assignee is due hereunder and from time
to time thereafter, a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN
or similar form, as appropriate.

 

3.02     Increased
Costs. If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended or participated in by, the Lender; (ii) subject the Lender
to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Loan made
by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender in respect
thereof; or (iii) impose on the Lender any other condition, cost or
expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by the Lender; and the result of
any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making or
maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan), or to
increase the cost to the Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by the Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount)
then, upon request of the Lender, the Borrower will pay to the Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional
costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

3.03     Funding
Losses. Upon demand of the Lender from time to time, the Borrower
shall promptly compensate the Lender for and hold the Lender harmless from any
loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of any failure by the Borrower
(for a reason other than the failure of the Lender to make a Loan) to prepay or
borrow any Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower,
including any loss, cost or expense (but excluding loss of anticipated profits)
actually incurred by reason of liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other
funds acquired by the Lender to fund or maintain such Loan. The Borrower shall
also pay any customary administrative fees charged by the Lender in connection
with the foregoing.

 

3.04     Requests
for Compensation. A certificate of the Lender claiming compensation
under this Article III and setting forth the additional amount or
amounts to be paid to it hereunder and calculations in reasonable detail
therefor shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining
such amount, the Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution
methods.

 

3.05     Survival.
All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III
shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all other Obligations hereunder.

shareholders or creditors (including any investigation of, preparation for, or
defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or
proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all
the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims,
demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall have any liability for any indirect or
consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(other than as may be provided in the Collar Transaction) or arising out of its
activities in connection herewith or therewith (other than as may be provided
in the Collar Transaction) (whether before or after the Closing Date). All

subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Lender in
its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in
connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then,
to the extent of such recovery the obligation or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied-shall be revived and continued in full force and
effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred.

 

9.07     Successors
and Assigns.

 

(a)       The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower
may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder

or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to
an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of
this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the

 

31

 

provisions of subsection (c) of
this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security
interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (e) of this Section (and
any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null
and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed
to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
subsection (c) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b)       The Lender may at any time assign to an
Eligible Assignee all (but not less than all) of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all of the Commitments and the Loans at the
time owing to it) pursuant to documentation acceptable to the Lender and the
assignee; provided that (i) the Assignment Conditions have been
satisfied, (ii) the Borrower shall not as a result of the assignment be
required to pay the assignee amounts under this Agreement greater than amounts
the Borrower would have been required to pay to the Lender in the absence of
such assignment and (iii) the Borrower shall not as a result of the
assignment receive from the assignee amounts less than amounts the Borrower
would have received from the Lender in the absence of such assignment. From and
after the effective date specified in such documentation, such Eligible
Assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and have the rights and obligations
of the Lender under this Agreement, and the Lender shall be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and shall cease to be a party hereto but
shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.02,
3.03, 9.04 and 9.05 with respect to facts and
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon
request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver new or
replacement Notes to the Lender and the assignee (in exchange for the existing
Notes from the Lender), and shall execute and deliver any other documents
reasonably necessary or appropriate to give effect to such assignment and to
provide for the administration of this Agreement after giving effect thereto.

 

(c)       The Lender may at any time, without the
consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, sell participations to any Person
(other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s
Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion
of the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all
or a portion of any Commitment and/or the Loans); provided that (i) the
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the Borrower for the performance of
such obligations, (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and
directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, (iv) the Participant Conditions have been satisfied,
(v) the Borrower shall not as a result of the participation be required to
pay the Lender amounts under this Agreement greater than amounts the Borrower
would have been required to pay to the Lender in the absence of such
participation and (vi) the Borrower will not as a result of the
participation receive from the Lender amounts less than amounts the Borrower
would have received from the Lender in the absence of such participation. Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which the Lender sells such a participation
shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that the Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, waiver or other modification that would (i) postpone any
date upon which any payment of money is scheduled to be made to such
Participant or (ii) reduce the principal, interest, fees or other amounts
payable to such Participant (provided,

 

32

 

however,
that the Lender may, without the consent of the Participant, (A) amend any
financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the
effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or
to reduce any fee payable hereunder and (B) waive the right to be paid
interest at the Default Rate), or (iii) release any Lien on any Collateral
granted to or held by the Lender under any Loan Document. Subject to subsection
(d) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03
to the same extent as if it were the Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.09
as though it were the Lender.

 

(d)       Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary herein, a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 3.01 or 3.02 than the Lender would
have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such
Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made
with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that is not a “United
States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the
Code shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless
the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to provide to the Lender
such tax forms prescribed by the IRS as are necessary or desirable to establish
an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax.

 

(e)       The Lender may at any time pledge or
assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights to receive
payments under this Agreement (including under the Note, if any) to secure
obligations of the Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.

 

(f)        As used herein, the following terms have
the following meanings:

 

“Assignment

received a duly executed acceptance and assumption by the assignee of the
obligations under this Agreement; (ii) the Lender shall, concurrently with
its assignment to such assignee, assign its rights and obligations under the

such assignment an Event of Default where the Lender is a “defaulting party” or
Termination Event where the Lender is the sole “affected party” (each as
defined in the ISDA Master Agreement) shall not have occurred or be continuing
pursuant to the Collar Transaction and will not occur under the Collar
Transaction as a result of such assignment.

 

“Eligible
Assignee” means (i) any Affiliate of the Lender or any special purpose
entity created, controlled or sponsored by the Lender, in either case, of
substantially equivalent or greater credit quality having the demonstrable
ability to provide the maximum funding to Borrower contemplated by this
Agreement or (ii) any other Person (other than a natural person) approved
by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided
that no such approval shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing.

 

33

 

“Participant
Conditions” shall consist of the following: (i) the Lender will
identify the Participant to the Borrower and provide the Borrower with a copy
of the participation agreement; (ii) the Participant shall be a Bank,

or be continuing pursuant to the Collar Transaction and will not occur under
the Collar Transaction as a result of such participation.

confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to
the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection
with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or

extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section or the agreements required by this Section or

source other than the Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information”
means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or
its business, other than any such information that is available to the Lender
on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, provided
that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date
hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of
Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have
complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same
degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information.

 

9.09     Set-off.
In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lender provided by law, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender is
authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the
Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other
indebtedness or obligations at any time owing by, the Lender to or for the credit
or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to the
Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing,
irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made demand under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such

 

34

 

Obligations may be
contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the
applicable deposit, indebtedness or other obligation. The Lender agrees
promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided,
however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such set-off and application.

 

Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, if, and only if, (i) the Lender
would be required to post collateral under the Collar Agreement or (ii) on
a Cash Settlement Payment Date (as defined in the Collar Transaction) an amount
is due and payable by the Lender under the Collar Transaction or (iii) following
an Early Termination Date (as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement), an amount
calculated pursuant to Section 6(e) of the ISDA Master Agreement is
due and payable by the Lender, and the Lender fails to pay any such amount or
post such collateral, so long as such requirement to post collateral would
apply, in each case after the expiration of any applicable grace period, the
Borrower is authorized, without prior notice to the Lender, any such notice
being waived by the Lender to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off
and apply any Obligations then due and owing by the Borrower to or for the
credit or the account of the Lender against any obligations then due and owing
to the Borrower from the Lender under the Collar Transaction.

 

9.10     Lender’s
Obligations with respect to Credit Support. The Lender and the
Borrower agree and acknowledge that any obligation of the Lender to post
certain collateral under the Collar Agreement in accordance with the terms
thereof shall not apply or shall cease to be in effect to the extent that the
Lender has made any Loans to the Borrower the aggregate outstanding Loan Amount
at Maturity of which equals or exceeds the Exposure (as such term is defined in
the ISDA Master Agreement) of the Lender to the Borrower under the Collar
Agreement. The Lender and the Borrower agree and acknowledge that the Lender
shall be obligated, however, to post certain collateral under the Collar
Agreement, in accordance with, subject to and to the extent provided by the
terms of the related ISDA Master Agreement, to the extent that the Exposure of
the Lender to the Borrower under the Collar Agreement, on any Business Day,
exceeds the aggregate Loan Amount at Maturity of the Loans to the Borrower
outstanding on that Business Day.

 

9.11     Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in any Loan Document, any interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan
Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted
by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Lender shall receive
interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall
be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid
principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether any interest
contracted for, charged, or received by the Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate,
the Lender may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize
any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than
interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize,
prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of any
interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

9.12     Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

 

35

 

9.13     Integration;
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan
Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on
the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements,
written or oral, on such subject matter including, for the avoidance of doubt,
the Credit Agreement Transaction Acknowledgement, dated as of April 2,
2008, between the Lender and the Borrower but excluding, for the avoidance of
doubt, the Transaction Acknowledgement (which shall be replaced and superseded
only from and after execution by the Lender and the Borrower of the Collar
Agreement). This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the final
agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior,
contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no
unwritten oral agreements between the parties. In the event of any conflict
between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document,
the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the
inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Lender in any
other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each
Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective
parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any
party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

 

9.14     Survival
of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made hereunder and in any Note, the Pledge Agreement or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith
shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof but shall only be
deemed to be made as of the time or times specified herein or therein. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Lender,
regardless of any investigation made by the Lender or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default
at the time of any Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as
any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

 

9.15     Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement, any Note or the Pledge Agreement
is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of such agreements
shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

 

9.16     Deemed
ISDA Master Agreement. Prior to the execution by the Lender and the
Borrower of the Collar Agreement, the Borrower and the Lender agree that the
Transaction Acknowledgement shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to
an agreement in the form of the ISDA Master Agreement as if the Lender and the
Borrower had executed an agreement in such form on the date of the Transaction
Acknowledgement (without any Schedule except for (1) the election of
Market Quotation and Second Method, New York law (without regard to the
conflicts of law principles) as the governing law and U.S. Dollars as the
Termination Currency, (2) the election that the “Cross Default” provisions
of Section 5(a)(vi) of the ISDA Master Agreement will apply to the
Lender and the Borrower with a “Threshold Amount” of $50,000,000, (3) the
specification of the Pledge Agreement and the Parent Guarantee as Credit
Support Documents in relation to the Borrower and the Guarantor as a Credit
Support Provider

 

36

 

in relation to the
Borrower and (4) with an additional Event of Default (as defined under the
ISDA Master Agreement) added as a new Section 5(a)(ix) of the ISDA
Master Agreement in respect of which the Borrower shall be the Defaulting Party
(as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement) if either of the following occurs; (A) a
Collateral Event of Default as defined in the Pledge Agreement or (B) an
Event of Default under this Agreement (each term used in this parenthetical but
not defined in this Agreement or, if so specified, the Pledge Agreement shall
have the meaning specified in the ISDA Master Agreement)).

 

9.17     Collar
Agreement Modifications. References herein to the terms of the
Collar Transaction are based on the provisions of the Transaction
Acknowledgement. If any relevant provisions of the Collar Agreement differ in
any material respect from those of the Transaction Acknowledgement as described
herein, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify the terms of
this Agreement in a manner that preserves the economic intent of the parties.

 

9.18     Amendments
to Schedules. If as a result of the operation of Section 9.17
or as a result of the operation of any provision of the Collar Transaction any
of the information appearing in Schedule 1, Schedule 2, Schedule
3 or Schedule 4 hereto must be amended, the Lender shall provide the
Borrower with a copy of such amended schedule, which shall automatically be
deemed to replace the prior schedule.

 

9.19     Safe
Harbors. The Borrower and the Lender agree that (a) this
Agreement, together with the Collar Transaction, is a “securities contract” (as
defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code), (b) the
Pledge Agreement and the Parent Guarantee are being entered into in connection
with the Collar Transaction Documents and are or will be a “security agreement
or arrangement” or other “credit enhancement” that forms a part of such “securities
contract” within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and (c) all
transfers of cash, securities or other property under or in connection with
this Agreement or the Collar Transaction (including all pledges under the
Pledge Agreement) to the Lender are “transfers” made “by or to (or for the
benefit of)” the Lender as a “financial institution” or a “financial
participant” (each as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) within the meaning of Section 546(e) of
the Bankruptcy Code and are “in connection with” a “securities contract” within
the meaning of Section 546(e) and 548(d)(2) of the Bankruptcy
Code.

 

9.20     Governing
Law.

 

(a)       THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL MATTERS ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE
PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE; PROVIDED THAT THE LENDER SHALL
RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

 

(b)       ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH
RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE

ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO. THE BORROWER AND THE
LENDER EACH WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS,
WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF SUCH STATE.

 

9.21     Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH
PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF
ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR
IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE
PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE

WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

 

9.22     USA Patriot Act Notice. The Lender hereby
notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act

including such Averaging Midpoint Date, expressed as a positive number, and (ii) if
such Gradual Repayment Date is after the Averaging Midpoint Date for such
Tranche, the time (expressed in whole years, a fraction thereof or both and

evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by the Lender in
the ordinary course of business. All borrowings evidenced by this Note and all
payments and prepayments of the aggregate Loan Amount at Maturity hereof and
the respective dates thereof shall be endorsed by the holder hereof on the
schedules attached hereto and made a part hereof or on a continuation thereof
which shall be attached hereto and made a part hereof, or otherwise recorded by
such holder in its internal records; provided, however, that the
failure of the holder hereof to make such a notation or any error in such
notation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Note.

 

The Borrower, for
itself, its successors and assigns, hereby waives diligence, presentment,
protest and demand and notice of protest, demand, dishonor and non-payment of
