Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective

conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Borrowing or
Conversion Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed

on the same day) notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the
Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by Borrower,
the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any
automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation described in Section

funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with
instructions provided (and reasonably acceptable to) to the Administrative
Agent by Borrower.

(c)           Except as otherwise provided herein, a
Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an
Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless Borrower pays the amount
due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the existence
of an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested to or continued as Eurodollar
Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.

 

(d)           The Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify Borrower and the applicable Lenders of the interest rate applicable to
any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such
interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the
Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Bank
of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following
the public announcement of such change.

 

(e)           After giving effect to all borrowings, all
conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans
as the same Type, there shall not be more than four Interest Periods in effect
with respect to Loans.

 

(f)            The failure of any Lender to make the Loan
to be made by it as part of any borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of
its obligation, if any, hereunder to make the Loan on the date of such
borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any
borrowing.

 

2.03        Prepayments.

 

(a)           Optional. Borrower may, upon notice
to the Administrative Agent at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay
Loans, in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such
notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon
(i) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate
Loans and (ii) one Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Base
Rate Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $1.0 million or a whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess
thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding and (C)
any prepayment of Base Rate Loans made in Dollars shall be in a principal
amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof, or, if
less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice
shall be in the form of Exhibit A-2 and shall specify the date and
amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and
of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such
notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall be committed to make such
prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan
shall be accompanied by any additional amounts required pursuant to Section
3.05.

 

(b)           Mandatory Prepayments. Borrower shall
apply all Net Proceeds, promptly upon receipt thereof to prepay Borrowings in
accordance with Sections 2.03(c) and (d).

 

(c)           Application of Prepayments. Prior to
any optional or mandatory prepayment hereunder, Borrower shall select the
Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify 

 

24

 

such selection in the notice of such
prepayment pursuant to Section 2.03(d), subject to the provisions
of this Section 2.03(c). Any prepayments pursuant to Section
2.03(a) shall be applied to reduce scheduled prepayments required under Section
2.05, first, to any scheduled principal
installments of Loans due within the following eight quarters in direct order
of maturity, and second, on a pro  rata
basis to all remaining scheduled principal installments of the Loans. Any
prepayments pursuant to Section 2.03(b) shall be applied to reduce
scheduled prepayments required under Section 2.05 on a pro  rata
basis to all remaining scheduled principal installments of the Loans.

 

Amounts to be
applied pursuant to this Section 2.03 to the prepayment of Loans shall
be applied to the Type of Loan and specific Borrowing or Borrowings designated
by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any prepayment of Loans required
under this Section 2.03 would result in Borrower incurring breakage
costs under Section 3.05 (the “Affected Loans”), at the election
of Borrower, the Affected Loans may be deposited in an escrow account on terms
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and Borrower and applied to the
prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans on the last day of the then next-expiring
Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans (or such earlier date or dates as
shall be requested by Borrower); provided that at any time while an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon written direction from
the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall apply any or all proceeds
then on deposit to the payment of such Affected Loans.

 

(d)           Notice of Prepayment. Borrower shall
notify the Administrative Agent by written notice of any prepayment hereunder
(i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, not later than 12:00
noon, three Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the
case of prepayment of a Base Rate Loan in Dollars, not later than 12:00 noon,
one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be
irrevocable. Each such notice shall be in the form of Exhibit A-2 and
shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or
portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a
reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly
following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the
Lenders of the contents thereof. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be
applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing and otherwise in
accordance with this Section 2.03. Except as provided in Section
2.03(c), prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent
required by Section 2.06.

 

2.04        Termination or Reduction
of Commitments. The Commitments of each Lender shall be automatically
terminated on the Closing Date upon the borrowing of the Loans on such date. All
Commitments shall terminate at noon on December 31, 2006 if the Closing
Date has not occurred on or prior to such time.

 

2.05        Repayment of Loans. Borrower
shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders
the aggregate principal amount of the Loans as follows (as adjusted for any
payments made under Section 2.03), each such payment to be made on the
last Business Day of the applicable fiscal quarter:

2.06        Interest.

 

(a)           Subject to the provisions of subsection (b)
below:

 

(i)            each Eurodollar
Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for
each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; and

 

(ii)           each Base
Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from
the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus
the Applicable Rate.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal
of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by Borrower hereunder
is not paid when due (without regard to any 

 

26

 

applicable grace periods), whether at stated
maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest, after as well as before
judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue
principal and premium, if any, of or interest on any Loan, 2% plus the
rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Section 2.06(a) or
(ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2% plus the rate applicable
to Base Rate Loans as provided in Section 2.06(a)(ii) (in either
case, the “Default Rate”).

 

(c)           Interest on each Loan shall be due and
payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto; provided
that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.06(b) shall be
payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any
Loan (other than a prepayment of a Base Rate Loan), accrued interest on the
principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such
repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any
Eurodollar Rate Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor,
accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such
conversion. 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
and Fees.

 

All computations of interest for Base Rate
Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of America’s “prime rate” shall
be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and
actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made
on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more
fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a
365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan
is made, continued or converted from a Loan of another Type and shall not
accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such
portion is paid; provided that any Loan
that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section
2.09(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent demonstrable error.

 

2.08        Evidence of Debt.

 

(a)           The Borrowings made by each Lender shall be
evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by
the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or
records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive
absent demonstrable error of the amount of the Borrowings made by the Lenders
to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or
any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the
obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the
Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records
maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative
Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of demonstrable error.

 

(b)           Upon the request of any Lender made through
the Administrative Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s
Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may 

 

27

 

attach schedules to a Note and endorse
thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its
Loans and payments with respect thereto.

 

2.09        Payments Generally;
Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

 

(a)           General. All payments to be made by Borrower
shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the
Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not
later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent
will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable
share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire
transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the
Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall in each case be deemed received on
the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall
continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by 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 fees, as the case may be.

 

(b)           (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by
Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such
Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section
2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower,
a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its
share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon,
for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower,
to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent in the case of
a payment to be made by such Lender at the applicable Federal Funds Rate in
effect from time to time. If such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing is
not made available to the Administrative Agent within three Business Days after
the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of
the failure of such Lender to make such amount available to the Administrative
Agent and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount
with interest thereon at the rate applicable to Loans of the Type comprising such
Borrowing and (y) then Borrower may, without waiving or limiting any rights or
remedies it may have hereunder or under applicable law against such Lender,
borrow a like amount on an unsecured basis from any commercial bank for a
period ending on the date upon which such Lender does in fact make such
Borrowing available. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the
Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower
for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to
the Administrative Agent then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s
Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without
prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have
failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

 

28

 

(ii)           Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by
Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower
will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower
has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance
upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event,
if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon,
for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to
but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at the applicable
Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time.

 

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any
Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b)
shall be conclusive, absent demonstrable error.

 

(c)           Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.
If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to
be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article
II, and such funds are not made available to Borrower by the Administrative
Agent because the conditions to the Borrowing set forth in Article IV
are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from
such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

 

(d)           Obligations of Lenders Several. The
obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments
pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of
any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any
payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not
relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date,
and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so
make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section
10.04(c).

 

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

 

2.10        Sharing of Payments by
Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
interest on any of the Loans made by it, resulting in such Lender’s receiving
payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued
interest thereon greater than its Pro Rata Share thereof as provided herein,
then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other
adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro
Rata Share, provided that:

 

(i)            if any such
participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations

 

29

 

shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of
such recovery, without interest; and

 

(ii)           the
provisions of this section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment
made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or
participant, other than to Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the
provisions of this section shall apply).

 

Borrower, each Subsidiary Guarantor and each
Barrington Guarantor consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower,
such Subsidiary Guarantor or such Barrington Guarantor rights of setoff and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of Borrower, such Subsidiary Guarantor or such Barrington
Guarantor in the amount of such participation.

 

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

 

3.01        Taxes.

 

(a)           Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all
payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party or any Barrington
Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall (except to the
extent required by law) be made free and clear of and without reduction or
withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if any Loan Party or any Barrington Guarantor shall be
required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (or any Other Taxes)
from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so
that after making all required deductions of such Taxes (including deductions
of such Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this section) the
Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the
applicable Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable Loan
Party or Barrington Guarantor shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(b)           Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without
limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, Borrower shall timely pay any
Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.

 

(c)           Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower
shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after
a written demand setting forth the amount and the reasons in reasonable detail
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this section) payable by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto
(other than penalties attributable to (i) a failure or delay by the Administrative

 

30

 

Agent or such Lender, as applicable, in
making such written demand to Borrower or (ii) the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be),
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting
forth the amount of such payment or liability and the reasons for such payment
or liability in reasonable detail delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

 

(d)           Evidence of Payments. As soon as
practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower
to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment
or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent.

 

(e)           Status of Lenders. Each Foreign
Lender shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, deliver to Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of original copies as shall be requested
by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes
a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such
Foreign Lender or beneficial owner is legally entitled to do so), whichever of
the following is applicable:

 

(i)            two duly
completed and executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
(or any successor thereto) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party and entitlement to complete
exemption from (or reduction in) U.S. federal withholding tax on interest and
fees payable hereunder to or for the account of such Foreign Lender,

 

(ii)           two duly
completed and executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI
(or any successor thereto),

 

(iii)          in the case
of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio
interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, substantially in the
form of Exhibit K, to the effect that such Foreign Lender or beneficial
owner is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described
in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed and executed
original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor
thereto), and, if any fees are payable by Borrower to or for the account of
such Foreign Lender, claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty
to which the U.S. is a party and entitlement to complete exemption from (or
reduction in) U.S. federal withholding tax on such fees, or

 

(iv)          any other
form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from (or,
after an applicable Change in Law, reduction in) United States federal
withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation
as may be prescribed by applicable law.

 

31

 

Any Lender that is not a Foreign Lender and
that may not be treated as an exempt recipient based on the indicators
described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii) or that has not
otherwise established to the reasonable satisfaction of Borrower that it is an
exempt recipient (as defined in Section 6049(b)(4) of the Code and the Treasury
regulations thereunder) shall deliver to Borrower (with copies to the
Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a
Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as prescribed by
applicable law or upon the request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent),
duly executed and properly completed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service
Form W-9 or any successor form that such Lender is entitled to provide at such
time in order to comply with United States back-up withholding requirements.

 

From time to time, each Lender shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent of any change in such Lender’s or beneficial
owner’s circumstances that would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption
or reduction.

 

(f)            Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the
Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its good faith sole discretion,
that it has received a refund (in cash or as an offset against other taxes
otherwise then due and payable) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has
paid additional amounts pursuant to this section, it shall pay to Borrower an
amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made,
or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect
to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender,
as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request of
the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over
to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by
the relevant Governmental Authority other than penalties, interest and other
charges arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative
Agent or such Lender) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event
the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such amount to
such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require
the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or
any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower
or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will
any Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower the payment of which would
place such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Lender
would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had never been paid.

 

3.02        Illegality. If any Change
in Law has made it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority has asserted that it
is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain
or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based
upon the Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower
through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or
continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent
and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from such
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert all Eurodollar Rate
Loans of such Lender to Base 

 

32

 

Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if
such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to
such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain
such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such conversion, Borrower shall also pay
accrued interest on the amount so converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a
different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such
notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be
materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

 

3.03        Inability To Determine
Rates. If the Required Lenders determine for any reason in connection with
any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation
thereof that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the
London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest
Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do
not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period
with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or (iii) the Eurodollar
Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar
Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of
funding such Eurodollar Rate Loan, in any such case, the Administrative Agent
will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of
the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until
the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes
such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending
request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate
Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a
request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

 

3.04        Increased Costs; Reserves
on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

 

(a)           Increased Costs Generally. If any
Change in Law after the Closing Date 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, any Lender (except
any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(d)); or

 

(ii)           impose on
any Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar
Rate Loans made by such Lender;

 

and the result
of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making
or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to
make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable
by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount),
then, from time to time upon written demand of such Lender setting forth in
reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the
Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.07), Borrower
will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such increased costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

(b)           Capital Requirements. If any Lender
determines that any Change in Law after the Closing Date affecting such Lender
or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any,
regarding capital requirements has had the effect of reducing the rate of return

 

33

 

on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of
such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the
Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below
that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but
for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and
the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy),
then from time to time, upon written demand of such Lender setting forth in
reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the
Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.07), Borrower
will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

(c)           Certificates for Reimbursement. A
certificate of a Lender in compliance with Section 3.07(a) setting
forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a), (b) or (e) of this
Section 3.04 and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent demonstrable
error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 

(d)           Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. If
any Lender is required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets
consisting of or including Eurodollar funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”), Borrower shall pay to such Lender additional interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs
of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such
Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of
demonstrable error), which shall be due and payable on each date on which
interest is payable on such Loan; provided Borrower
shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) of such additional interest (together with the
certificate referred to in clause (c) above) from such Lender. If a Lender
fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such
additional interest shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.

 

3.05        Compensation for Losses. Upon
demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to
time, Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless
from any actual loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

 

(a)           any continuation, conversion, payment or
prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last
day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory,
automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

 

(b)           any failure by Borrower (for a reason other
than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or
convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount
notified by Borrower;

 

including any
loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained
by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from
which such funds were obtained. Borrower shall also pay any reasonable and customary
administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

 

34

 

For purposes of calculating amounts payable
by Borrower to any Lender under this Section 3.05, such Lender
shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the
Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the
London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable
period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

 

3.06        Mitigation Obligations;
Replacement of Lenders.

 

(a)           Designation of a Different Lending Office.
If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if
any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender
shall use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to such Lender’s internal
policies and any legal or regulatory restrictions) to avoid the consequences of
such event, including to designate a different Lending Office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder
to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such
Lender, such efforts (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section
3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, or eliminate the need for the
notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case,
would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any
such designation or assignment.

 

(b)           Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to or for the account of any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section
3.01, Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

 

3.07        Matters Applicable to
Requests for Compensation.

 

(a)           Any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation
under Sections 3.02 through 3.05 shall deliver a certificate to Borrower
contemporaneously with the demand for payment setting forth in reasonable
detail a calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it
hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In
determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods.

 

(b)           With respect to any Lender’s claim for
compensation under any of Sections 3.02 through 3.05, Borrower
shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more
than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the event
that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving
rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof. If any Lender requests compensation from Borrower under Section
3.05, Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one
Interest Period to another Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans
into Eurodollar Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such
request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section
3.07(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall
not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

 

35

 

(c)           If the obligation of any Lender to make or
continue from one Interest Period to another any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or to
convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans) shall be suspended pursuant
to Section 3.07(b) hereof, such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be
automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then
current Interest Period(s) for such Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of
an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date
as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided
below that the circumstances specified in Sections 3.02 through 3.04
hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist: (i) to the extent
that such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans have been so converted, all payments
and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and (ii)
all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to
another by such Lender as Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead
as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise
be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

 

(d)           If any Lender gives notice to Borrower (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in any of Sections
3.02 through 3.04 that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s
Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.07 no longer exist
(which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to
exist) at a time when Eurodollar Rate Loans made by other Lenders are
outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on
the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding
Eurodollar Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect
thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurodollar Rate Loans and by
such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis,
and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

 

3.08        Survival. All of Borrower’s
obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the
Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

5.04        Binding Effect. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is party
hereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when so executed

proceedings in equity or at law).

 

41

 

5.05        No Material Adverse Effect.

hereunder or under any other Loan Document (taken as a whole, the “Information”),

to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which (a) such
applicable law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a

copyrights, technology, trade secrets, domain names, know-how and processes required
for the conduct of its business as currently conducted, except for those the
failure to own or be licensed which, individually or in the aggregate, would
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the
knowledge of Borrower, no claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person
challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the
validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor to the knowledge
of Borrower does the use of such Intellectual Property by Borrower and each of
its Subsidiaries infringe the rights of any Person, except, in each case, for
such claims and infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

thereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.09, and upon
compliance with all other applicable legal requirements identified in the local
counsel opinions delivered with respect thereto, the Mortgages shall (to the

other distributions to any direct or indirect holders of Equity Interests of Borrower
in amounts required for such holder to pay consolidated, combined or similar federal,
state or local income taxes (as the case may be) imposed directly on such
holder to the extent such income taxes are attributable to the income of Borrower
and the Subsidiaries shall be permitted; provided, however, that
in each case the amount of such payments in respect of any tax year does not
exceed the amount that Borrower and the Subsidiaries would have been required
to pay in respect of federal, state or local income taxes (as the case may be)
in respect of such year if Borrower and the Subsidiaries paid such taxes
directly as a stand-alone taxpayer (or stand-alone group) less any such taxes
payable directly by Borrower or the Subsidiaries; and

 

(f)            Borrower may declare and pay dividends or
make other distributions to holders of its Equity Interests; provided
that (i) no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of any such dividend
or distribution or would exist immediately after giving effect thereto and (ii)

of Default” as defined in the Barrington Credit Facility; or

 

(l)            termination of the SagamoreHill Time
Brokerage Agreement;

 

then, in every
such event (other than an event with respect to Borrower described in paragraph
(g) above or an event with respect to Borrower described in Section 8.01(g)
of the Barrington Credit Facility), and at any time thereafter during the
continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent, at the request of the

appointed under state or federal law by a court of competent jurisdiction in
any action taken by the Agents or the 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 business of the Loan Parties, or any of them,
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 until a
sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall be finally made and
consummated. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS
TO AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO OBJECT TO OR OTHERWISE CONTEST THE APPOINTMENT OF A
RECEIVER AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT (AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF
ANY APPLICABLE GRACE PERIOD) AND ACCELERATION OF THE OBLIGATIONS, AS PROVIDED
ABOVE. EACH LOAN PARTY GRANTS SUCH WAIVER AND CONSENT KNOWINGLY AFTER HAVING
DISCUSSED THE IMPLICATIONS

 

67

 

THEREOF
WITH COUNSEL, ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE UNCONTESTED RIGHT TO HAVE A RECEIVER
APPOINTED FOR THE FOREGOING PURPOSES IS CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL BY THE REQUIRED
LENDERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OF THEIR RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
HEREUNDER AND UNDER THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS AND OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND THE
AVAILABILITY OF SUCH APPOINTMENT AS A REMEDY UNDER THE FOREGOING CIRCUMSTANCES
WAS A MATERIAL FACTOR IN INDUCING THE LENDERS TO MAKE (AND COMMIT TO MAKE) THE
LOANS TO BORROWER, AND AGREES TO ENTER INTO ANY AND ALL STIPULATIONS IN ANY
LEGAL ACTIONS, OR AGREEMENTS OR OTHER INSTRUMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE
FOREGOING AND TO COOPERATE FULLY WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS
IN CONNECTION WITH THE ASSUMPTION AND EXERCISE OF CONTROL BY THE RECEIVER OVER
ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE COLLATERAL AND PROPERTY OF THE LOAN PARTIES. NO RIGHT
CONFERRED UPON THE LENDERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREBY OR BY ANY LOAN
DOCUMENT SHALL BE EXCLUSIVE OF ANY OTHER RIGHT REFERRED TO HEREIN OR THEREIN OR
NOW OR HEREAFTER AVAILABLE AT LAW, IN EQUITY, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE.

 

8.02        Application of Funds. After
the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.01 (or after the
Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in Section
8.01), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied
by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

 

(a)           First, to payment of that portion of the
Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts
(including documented fees, charges and out-of pocket disbursements of one lead
counsel plus one local counsel in each jurisdiction in which a Loan Party is
organized plus one regulatory counsel with respect to any regulatory matter to
the Administrative Agent payable in accordance with the Loan Documents and
amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent in their capacities as such;

 

(b)           Second, to payment of that portion of the
Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other
than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including documented fees,
charges and out-of pocket disbursements of one lead counsel plus one local
counsel in each jurisdiction in which a Loan Party is organized plus one regulatory
counsel with respect to any regulatory matter to the respective Lenders payable
in accordance with the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Article III),
ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause (b)
payable to them;

 

(c)           Third, to payment of that portion of the
Secured Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans,
ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in
this clause (c) payable to them;

 

(d)           Fourth, (i) to payment of that portion of
the Secured Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and (ii) to
payment of breakage, termination or other

 

68

 

amounts owing in respect of any Swap Agreement between Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries and any Secured Party, to the extent such Swap Agreement is
permitted hereunder, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the
respective amounts described in this clause (d) held by them;

 

(e)           Fifth, to payment of amounts due under any
Treasury Management Agreement between Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and
any Secured Party;

 

(f)            Sixth, to the payment of all other
Obligations of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that are due and payable to
the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably
based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to
the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and

 

(g)           Last, the balance, if any, after all of the
Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to Borrower or as
otherwise required by Law.

 

ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND COLLATERAL AGENT

 

9.01        Appointment and Authority.
Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on
its behalf as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent and Collateral
Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent by the terms hereof
or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The provisions of this Article (other than Borrower’s consent right solely
with respect to the appointment of a successor Agent under Section 9.06)
are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent
and the Lenders, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of such provisions.

 

9.02        Rights as a Lender. The
Person serving as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder shall
have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender
and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and Collateral
Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly
indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving
as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual
capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money
to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and
generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or
other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

9.03        Exculpatory Provisions. No
Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Agents:

 

69

 

(a)           shall not be subject to any fiduciary or
other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing;

 

(b)           shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents
that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that
such Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the
opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary
to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

 

(c)           shall not, except as expressly set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall
not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower
or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person
serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

No Agent shall be liable for any action taken
or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary,
under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.01)
or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No
Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice
describing such Default is given to such Agent by Borrower or a Lender.

 

No Agent shall be responsible to the Lenders
or any of their respective Related Parties for or have any duty to ascertain or
inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of
any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or
in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance
of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth
herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction
of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than
to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

 

9.04        Reliance by Agents. Each
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument,
document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or
intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each
Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability
for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to
the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction
of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such
Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other
experts selected by it, and shall not be liable to the Lenders or any of their
respective

 

70

 

Related Parties for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance
with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

9.05        Delegation of Duties. Each
Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers
hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable judgment. The Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of their duties and
exercise their rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.
The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent
and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall
apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Agents.

 

9.06        Resignation of Agent. Each
Agent may resign at any time upon written notice 30 Business Days prior to such
resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower,
to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States,
or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States; provided
that Borrower must consent to the appointment of any such successor Agent at
all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld). If no such successor shall have been so appointed
by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above in consultation with Borrower. Upon the
execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments
thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other
instruments or notices, as may be necessary, or as the Required Lenders may reasonably
request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported
to be granted by the Security Documents, such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from
all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if
not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.06).
The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such
successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents
and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting
as Agent.

 

9.07        Non-Reliance on Agent and
Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related
Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related
Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to
time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not
taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

71

 

9.08        No Other Duties, Etc.Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent and Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any
powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Agent or a Lender
hereunder.

 

9.09        Agent May File Proofs of
Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency,
liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition
or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, any Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and
payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether such Agent shall have made any demand on any Loan Party) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

 

(a)           to file and prove a claim for the whole
amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans
and all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such
other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders
and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all
other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 10.04)
allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

(b)           to collect and receive any monies or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

 

and any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that
the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly
to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Section  10.04.

 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender
or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any
Lender in any such proceeding.

 

9.10        Collateral and Guaranty
Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize each of the Administrative Agent
and Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

 

(a)           to release any Lien on any property granted
to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination
of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Secured Obligations
(other than contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be
sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or
disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) subject
to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the
Required

 

72

 

Lenders, or (iv) owned by a Guarantor upon release of such Guarantor
from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (c) below;

 

(b)           to subordinate any Lien on any property
granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the
holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(j);
and

 

(c)           to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its
obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party if such Person
ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; provided
that no such release shall occur if such Subsidiary Guarantor continues to be a
guarantor in respect of any other Indebtedness of Borrower unless and until
such Subsidiary Guarantor is (or is being simultaneously) released from its
guaranty with respect to such other Indebtedness.

 

Upon request by the Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the
Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as the case may be, authority to
release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property,
or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Document to
which it is a party pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as specified
in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will, at Borrower’s
expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as
such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of
Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the
Collateral Documents, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under
the Loan Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents and this Section 9.10.

 

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

 

10.01      Amendments, Etc. No
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, and no consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall be
effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and Borrower or the
applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the
Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided
that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

 

(a)           extend or increase the Commitment of any
Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 8.01)
without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that no
amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any
condition precedent, covenant, Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment
or mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall constitute an extension or increase
in the Commitment of any Lender);

 

(b)           postpone any date scheduled for payment of
principal or interest or fees (it being understood that the waiver of any
mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any
date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest) in any case, without
the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

 

73

 

(c)           reduce the principal of, or the rate of
interest specified herein on, any Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or change the form or currency of
payment without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (it being
understood that any amendment, modification or waiver to the financial
definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of
interest for purposes of this clause (c)); provided, however,
that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend Section
2.06(b) or to waive any obligation of Borrower to pay interest at the rates
set forth therein;

 

(d)           change Section 2.10 or Section
8.02 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required
thereby without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

 

(e)           change any provision of this Section
10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof
specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or
otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any
consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;

 

(f)            other than in a transaction not prohibited by
Section 7.05, release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any
transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent of
each Lender;

 

(g)           increase the maximum duration of Interest
Periods hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;
or

 

(h)           except as otherwise provided in Section 9.10,
release any Guarantor from the Guaranty without the written consent of each
Lender;

 

provided,
further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by any Agent in addition to the Lenders required above,
affect the rights or duties of such Agent under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document; and (ii) Section 10.06(g) may not be amended, waived or
otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any part
of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver
or other modification.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any
amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such
Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it
being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting
Lender shall be excluded from a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any
consent of the Lenders).

 

If, in connection with any proposed change,
waiver, discharge or termination of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated
by this Section 10.01, the consent of the Required Lenders is
obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is
required is not obtained, then Borrower shall have the right to replace all non-consenting
Lenders required to obtain such consent with one or more Eligible Assignees in
accordance with Section 10.13,

 

74

 

so long as at
the time of such replacement each such new Lender consents to the proposed
change, waiver, discharge or termination.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
without the consent of any other Person, the applicable Loan Party or Parties
and the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in its or their
respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan
Document) enter into any amendment or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter
into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection,
protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral
or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security
interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the
security interests therein comply with applicable law.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be
amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required
Lenders, the Administrative Agent and Borrower (a) to increase the aggregate
Commitments of the Lenders, (b) to add one or more additional credit facilities
to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding
thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share
ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the
Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (c) to include
appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination
of the Required Lenders.

 

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, Borrower
and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Loans (as defined below) to
permit the refinancing of all outstanding Loans (“Refinanced Loans”)
with a replacement tranche hereunder (“Replacement Loans”), but only if
(a) the aggregate principal amount of the Replacement Loans does not exceed the
aggregate principal amount of the Refinanced Loans, (b) the Applicable Rate for
the Replacement Loans is not higher than the Applicable Rate for the Refinanced
Loans, (c) the weighted average life to maturity of the Replacement Loans is
not shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Loans
at the time of the refinancing and (d) all other terms applicable to such
Replacement Loans are substantially similar to, or less favorable to the Lenders
providing such Replacement Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced
Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms
applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Loans in effect
immediately prior to such refinancing.

 

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that Borrower requests that this Agreement be modified or amended in a
manner that would require the unanimous consent of all of the Lenders and such
modification or amendment is agreed to by the Required Lenders, then with the
consent of Borrower and the Required Lenders, Borrower and the Required Lenders
shall be permitted to amend this Agreement without the consent of the Lender or
Lenders that did not agree to the modification or amendment requested by Borrower
(such Lender or Lenders, collectively, the “Minority Lenders”) to
provide for (i) the termination of the Commitment of each of the Minority
Lenders, (ii) the addition to this Agreement of one or more other financial
institutions (each of which shall be an Eligible Assignee), or an increase in
the Commitment of one or more of the Required Lenders (with the written consent
thereof), so that the total Commitment after giving effect to such amendment
shall be in the same amount as the total Commitment

 

75

 

immediately before giving
effect to such amendment, (iii) if any Loans are outstanding at the time of
such amendment, the making of such additional Loans by such new financial institutions
or Required Lender or Lenders, as the case may be, as may be necessary to repay
in full, at par, the outstanding Loans of the Minority Lenders immediately
before giving effect to such amendment and (iv) such other modifications to
this Agreement as may be appropriate to effect the foregoing clauses (i), (ii)
and (iii).

incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or Borrower may, in their
discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by
electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be
limited to particular notices or communications.

 

Unless the Administrative Agent and Borrower
otherwise agree, notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address
shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from
the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as
available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided
that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal

(c)           [Reserved].

 

(d)           Change of Address, Etc. Each of Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may change its address,
facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by
notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address,
facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by
notice to Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.

 

(e)           Reliance by Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices
(including telephonic Borrowing or Conversion Notices) purportedly given by or
on behalf of Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner
specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other
form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by
the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Borrower shall indemnify
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and the Related
Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities
resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by
or on behalf of Borrower in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

 

10.03      No Waiver; Cumulative
Remedies. No failure by any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising,
any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power
or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies,
powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

 

10.04      Expenses; Indemnity; Damage

with respect to any regulatory matter for the Agents), in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation,
negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the
provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket and
documented expenses incurred by each Agent and each Lender  in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section

workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

 

77

 

(b)           Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower
shall indemnify each Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee
harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred
by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by
any Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement
or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties
hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan
or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or
alleged presence or Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Material on, at,

of the Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or threatened claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any
other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses 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 or its Affiliates or the respective officers, directors, employees,
attorneys, agents, advisors and trustees of such Indemnitee or its Affiliates or
result from a claim brought by Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee
for breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, if such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in
its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction and provided further that Article III
(instead of this Section 10.04) shall govern indemnity with respect to
the matters addressed in such Article (including, without limitation, Taxes).

 

(c)           Reimbursement by Lenders. To the
extent that the Loan Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount
required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 10.04 to
be paid by it to each Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of
any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent or such Related Party, as
the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that
the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such
unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified
loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was
incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent), or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Collateral Agent in
connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this
subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.09(d).

 

(d)           Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.
Except as provided in Section 10.02(c), no Indemnitee referred to in subsection
(b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended
recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in
connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, nor shall any Indemnitee or any Loan Party have
any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or

 

78

 

consequential damages relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in
connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date)
except to the extent any Indemnitee is required to pay any such damages to a
third party.

 

(e)           Payments. All amounts due under this Section
10.04 shall be payable promptly after receipt of an invoice setting forth
such amounts in reasonable detail.

 

(f)            Survival. The agreements in this Section
10.04 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the
Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the
other Obligations.

 

10.05      Payments Set Aside. To
the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to any Agent or
any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such
payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any Agent or such 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
(a) 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 setoff had not occurred, and (b) each
Lender severally agrees to pay to each Agent upon demand its applicable share
(without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by such Agent, plus
interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made
at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall
survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

10.06      Successors and Assigns.

 

(a)           Successors and Assigns Generally. 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, other than connection with a merger permitted under Section 7.05,
Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and
each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or

an SPC in accordance with the provisions of subsection (g) of this Section
10.06 (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 (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement.

 

79

 

(b)           Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender
may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it; provided that

 

(i)            except in
the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment or Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an
assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment or the principal outstanding balance of the
Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment determined as of
the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment, is
delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the
Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1.0
million with respect to Commitments and Loans unless, in each case, each of the
Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 8.01(b)
or (g) has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consent
(each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided,
however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and
concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible
Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be
treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum
amount has been met;

 

(ii)           each partial
assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to
the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit
any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among Commitments
and Loans on a non-pro rata basis;

 

(iii)          [reserved];

 

(iv)          the parties to
each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in
the amount, if any, required as set forth in Schedule 10.06, and the
Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

 

(v)           the
assigning Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to Borrower or
the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall deliver such Notes
to Borrower).

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section,
from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption,
the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender
shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04

 

80

 

with respect to facts and circumstances
occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, and
surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, Borrower (at its expense) shall
execute and deliver the applicable Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment
or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does
not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement
as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 10.06.

 

(c)           Register. The Administrative Agent,
acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at the
Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses
of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The
Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time
that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan
Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in
connection therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a
copy of the Register.

 

(d)           Participations. Any Lender may at any
time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or the Administrative
Agent sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or Borrower
or Borrower’s Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion
of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all
or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it; provided
that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement; provided that such Lender may agree that it will
not, without the consent of such Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver described Section 10.01(b), (c) and (d)
to the extent affecting such Participant.

 

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain
the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or
instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in
the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject
to subsection (e) of this Section, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall
be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05
(subject to the requirements and obligations of those Sections, including the
timely delivery of forms pursuant to Section 3.01(e)) to the same extent
as if it were the relevant 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 10.08
as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 2.10 as though it were a Lender.

 

81

 

(e)           Limitations upon Participant Rights. A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable 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 Borrower’s
prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided
that, for purposes of this clause (f), entering into this Agreement or other
Loan Document shall not be construed as providing such consent.

 

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

 

(g)           Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”)
may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing
from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and Borrower
(an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such
Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this
Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment
by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such
option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting
Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if
it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is
required under Section 2.09(b)(ii). Each party hereto hereby agrees that
(i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option
shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations
of Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01
or 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar
payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and
(iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any
amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document,
remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder
shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as
if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the
foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the
termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one
day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other
senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person
in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or
any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign
all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to
the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public
information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial
paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity
enhancement to such SPC.

 

10.07      Treatment of Certain
Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its
Affiliates’ respective

 

82

 

partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and
representatives on a “need to know” basis in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby (it being understood that the Persons to whom such
disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and shall have agreed or otherwise be obligated to maintain its confidentiality),
(b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have
jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the
extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar
legal process; provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender,
unless prohibited by any Law, shall use reasonable efforts to notify Borrower
in advance of any disclosure pursuant to this clause (c) but only to the extent
reasonably practicable under the circumstances and on the understanding that
neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability for
failure to give such notice, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in order
to enforce its rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in a
legal proceeding, (f) subject to an agreement for the benefit of Borrower
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07,
to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii)
any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Swap Agreement
with Borrower or any Subsidiary, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h)
to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result
of a breach of this Section 10.07 or (y) becomes available to any Agent,
any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis
from a source other than any Loan Party or their Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

 

For purposes of this Section 10.07, “Information”
means all information received from Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to Borrower
or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or any Subsidiary.

 

10.08      Right of Setoff. If an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of
its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever
currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any
time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the
account of Borrower or any other Loan Party other than deposits held in a
custodial, trust or other fiduciary capacity against any and all of the obligations
of Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such
Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document and although such obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party may be
contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender
different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such
indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section
10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights
of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to
notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and
application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 

10.09      Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the 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

 

83

 

Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any
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 Borrower. In determining whether the interest
contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender
exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person 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 interest throughout the contemplated term of
the Obligations hereunder.

 

10.10      Counterparts; Integration;
Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by
different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a
single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the
entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01,
this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of
the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature
page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

10.11      Survival of Representations
and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in
any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto
or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery
hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be
relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation
made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and
notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice
or knowledge of any Default at the time of the Borrowing, and shall continue in
full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder
shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

 

10.12      Severability. If any
provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not
be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

 

10.13      Replacement of Lenders. If
(i) Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender under
Section 3.04, (ii) Borrower is required to pay any additional
amount to or for the account of any Lender or any Governmental Authority for
the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (iii) a Lender does
not consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect
to any Loan Document that requires unanimous consent of all affected Lenders
and that has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section
10.01, (iv) any Lender delivers a notice pursuant to Section 3.02
with respect to circumstances that do not affect the other Lenders hereunder,
or (v) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the

 

84

 

Administrative Agent (x) terminate the Commitments of such Lender and
repay all obligations of Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans
and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date or (y)
require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with
and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section
10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that is acceptable to Borrower
and shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a
Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

 

(a)           Borrower shall have paid to the
Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b)
(unless the Administrative Agent waives such fee);

 

(b)           such Lender shall have received payment of
an amount equal to the outstanding principal of and premium (if any) on its
Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to
it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section
3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees); and

 

(c)           such assignment does not conflict with
applicable Laws.

 

A Lender shall not be required to make any
such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by
such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 

10.14      Governing Law, Jurisdiction,
Etc.

 

(a)           GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF
CONFLICTS OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT THAT THE SAME ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY
STATUTE AND THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE
REQUIRED THEREBY.

 

(b)           SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS
PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW

THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN
RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH
NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN
SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN
ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER

OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY PARTY HERETO MAY OTHERWISE
HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

 

(c)           WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH OF THE PARTIES
HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE
LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN
PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE
DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

 

(d)           SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO
IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES
IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT
OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW.

 

10.15      Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH
OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR
THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY
HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON
WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 

10.16      USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each
Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act (as hereinafter defined) and the
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby
notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act
(Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot
Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the names and addresses
of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or the
Administrative Agent to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Patriot
Act.

 

10.17      FCC. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents,
neither the Lenders nor their agents will take any action pursuant to this Agreement

assignment of

 

86

 

the Licenses issued by the FCC or any transfer of control thereof
within the meaning of Section 310(d) of the Communications Act or other
Communications Law if such assignment of license or transfer of control would
require the prior approval of the FCC without first obtaining such approval of
the FCC. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent specifically agree, to the
extent required by Communications Law, that (a) voting rights in the
capital stock of Borrower and any Subsidiary will remain with the holders of
such voting rights upon and following the occurrence of an Event of Default
until any required prior approvals of the FCC to the transfer of such voting
rights shall have been obtained; (b) upon and following the occurrence of
any Event of Default and foreclosure upon the capital stock of Borrower or any
Subsidiary by the Lenders or their agents, there will be either an arm’s length
private or public sale of such capital stock (to the extent required under then
existing law); and (c) prior to the exercise of stockholder rights by the
purchaser at any such sale, the prior consent of the FCC pursuant to Section
310(d) of the Communications Act will be obtained.

SCHEDULE 10.06

 

PROCESSING AND RECORDATION FEES

 

The Administrative Agent will charge a
processing and recordation fee (an “Assignment Fee”) in the amount of $3,500
for each assignment; provided, however, such Assignment Fee shall
be waived in connection with any assignment by a Lender to an Approved Fund of
such Lender; provided, further, that in the event of two or more
concurrent assignments to members of the same Assignee Group (which may be
effected by a suballocation of an assigned amount among members of such
Assignee Group) or two or more concurrent assignments by members of the same

TIME BROKERAGE AGREEMENT

 

THIS TIME BROKERAGE
AGREEMENT is made this 28th of April, 1994, by and between Atlantic Media
Group, Inc., a South Carolina corporation (“Atlantic”),  and Vision Communications, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“Broker”).

 

WHEREAS, Atlantic is
authorized to construct and operate a new television broadcast station on
Channel 21 at Florence, South Carolina, with the call sign WFIL (the “Station”), pursuant to authorization
issued by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”); and

 

WHEREAS, Broker has
entered into an agreement to purchase the assets of broadcast station WPDE-TV,
Florence, South Carolina; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties
hereto have carefully considered the Communications Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Communications Act”)  and the FCC’s time brokerage policies
adopted pursuant thereto, and intend that this Agreement in all respects comply
with such Communications Act and policies; and

 

WHEREAS, the Florence,
South Carolina television and advertising markets are highly competitive and
will remain so, unaffected by the transactions contemplated hereunder; and

 

WHEREAS, Atlantic desires
to enter into this Agreement to facilitate the construction of the Station and
to provide a regular source of diverse programming and income to sustain the
operations of the Station; and

 

WHEREAS, Broker desires
to provide an over-the-air program service to the Florence, South Carolina area
using the facilities of the Station; and

 

 

WHEREAS, Atlantic agrees
to provide time exclusively to Broker on terms and conditions that conform to
policies of the Station and the FCC for time brokerage arrangements and that
are as set forth herein; and

 

WHEREAS, Broker agrees to
utilize the Station’s transmitting facilities solely to broadcast programming
of Broker’s selection that conforms with the policies of Atlantic and with all
rules, regulations and policies of the FCC, and as set forth herein; and

 

WHEREAS, Atlantic
maintains, and shall continue to maintain during the term of this Agreement,
ultimate control over the Station’s facilities including control over the
Station’s finances, personnel and programming; and

 

WHEREAS,
contemporaneously herewith, the parties hereto have entered into: (1) an Option
Agreement (the “Option Agreement”)
granting to Broker or Broker’s assignee an option to purchase substantially all
of the assets used in connection with the operation of the Station, and to
obtain the assignment of the Station’s FCC licenses to Broker or Broker’s
assignee (and capitalized terms herein which are not otherwise defined herein
shall have the same meanings as stated in the Option Agreement) and (2) a
Transmission Facilities and Studio Construction and Lease Agreement;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing, and of the mutual promises set forth herein,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which
Atlantic and Broker hereby acknowledge, Atlantic and Broker, intending to be
bound legally, hereby agree as follows:

 

2

 

1.         Overall Purpose and
Term; Renewal Option.  In accordance
with the terms and limitations set forth herein: (a) Broker shall construct at
its own expense transmission, including microwave, and studio facilities for
the Station and shall program the Station, promote the Station and its
programming, sell commercial and other time on the Station and bill for and
collect the payments for time sales on the Station; and (b) Atlantic will lease
such transmission and studio facilities from Broker, maintain the Station’s
transmitting and microwave relay facilities, and make said facilities available
to Broker. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each party hereby warrants
and covenants that it will fulfill said obligations, and its other obligations
specified herein, to the fullest extent permitted by law (including the FCC’s
rules and policies) in a diligent, reasonable manner.

 

Broker shall begin its
time brokerage activities with regard to the Station pursuant to this Agreement
upon the commencement of Station program tests, and said date shall be referred
to herein as the “Commencement Date.”
The term of this Agreement shall be a period of five (5) years from the date on
which Broker acquires the assets of broadcast station WPDE-TV, Florence, South
Carolina, or from April 8, 1994, whichever occurs first. Broker also shall have
the option to extend this agreement for one successive five (5) year term, on
the same terms and conditions as this Agreement, by giving notice of its intent
to exercise such option not less than six months prior to the expiration of the
initial term.

 

2.         Construction and Lease
of Facilities.  Broker shall
construct at its own expense transmission facilities for the Station (including
antenna transmission line, transmitter, and

 

3

 

studio-transmitter microwave link equipment) pursuant
to agreed on specifications and in accordance with the terms of the FCC
construction permit for the Station. Broker also will provide studio facilities
for the Station, including studio-transmitter microwave link equipment in full
compliance with the FCC’s main studio rules, regulations and policies. Atlantic
shall lease such facilities from Broker in accordance with the Transmission
Facilities and Studio Construction and Lease Agreement of even date herewith.

 

3.         Facilities.  Atlantic shall make the Station’s television
broadcasting transmission facilities available to Broker for broadcast on the
Station of programs selected by Broker, and advertising/commercial
announcements sold by Broker, which may originate from Station’s studios,
Broker’s studios or from other sources contracted for by Broker. In addition,
Atlantic will make available to Broker, at no cost, during the term of this
Agreement, exclusive use (other than Atlantic’s own use for the Station
pursuant to this Agreement) of all of Atlantic’s studio and production facilities,
for Broker’s use in its activities with regard to the Station pursuant to this
Agreement and for use by Station WPDE-TV. 
Atlantic may use the Station’s studio and production facilities, during
the term of this Agreement, for Station public affairs programs and public
service announcements, consistent with paragraphs 9 and 10 below.

 

4.         Payment.  As consideration for Atlantic’s permitting
Broker to air its programming on the Station pursuant to this Agreement, Broker
shall pay Atlantic as follows:

 

4

 

A.        Five thousand dollars

beginning April 1, 1994 through and including the month during which Broker
begins providing programming to the Station pursuant to this Agreement.

 

B.        Beginning on the earlier

Facilities and Studio Construction and Lease Agreement), as determined in
advance by Atlantic and Broker.

 

D.        Beginning with the first
anniversary of Broker’s monthly payment obligations pursuant to Paragraph 4.B,
and on every anniversary thereafter, the parties shall recalculate Broker’s
payment obligation for the forthcoming twelve-month period. The new monthly
payment amount shall be equal to the sum of the following:

 

1.         Base Amount.  $10,000 per month increased five (5)% percent
on the first anniversary, and an additional five (5)% percent on each
subsequent anniversary.

 

2.         Expenses.  Atlantic’s estimated monthly cost of
operating the Station for the forthcoming year, including utilities associated

be authorized to endorse payments received in names other than Broker’s (e.g., “WFIL”
or “WFIL-TV”) in order to deposit such payments into the Station Bank Account(s).

 

7.        Station
Facilities.

 

A.        Operation of Station.  Atlantic represents that, upon completion of
Station construction, the Station will be operated by Atlantic throughout the
term of this Agreement, in all material respects in accordance with the authorizations
issued to it by the FCC and all applicable FCC rules, regulations and policies.
As of the Commencement Date, Atlantic shall make the

 

9

 

Station available to Broker for program transmissions,
at least at ninety five percent (95%) of the Station’s currently authorized
effective radiated power, for one hundred sixty-eight (168) hours per week,
Sunday through Saturday, except for downtime occasioned by required maintenance
and other interruptions contemplated by sub-paragraph 7.B. below and paragraph
16 of this Agreement. Any routine or non-emergency maintenance work affecting
operation of the Station at full power shall be scheduled with at least
forty-eight (48) hours prior notice to Broker, and shall not take place during
a rating period, and to the extent possible Atlantic shall cause such
maintenance work to be performed between the hours of 1:00 AM and 6:00 AM
Florence local time.

 

B.        Interruption of Normal
Operations.  If the Station suffers
any loss or damage of any nature to its transmission or studio facilities which
results in the interruption of service or the inability of the Station to
operate with its maximum authorized facilities, Atlantic shall immediately
notify Broker of such loss or damage and Atlantic shall undertake, subject to
Broker’s prior consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, such
repairs as are necessary to restore full-time operation of the Station with its
maximum authorized facilities as expeditiously as possible following the
occurrence of any such loss or damage. If Atlantic is unable to or does not
commence such repairs as soon as possible, Broker may do so on Atlantic’s
behalf, and may pay for such repairs in accordance with the procedures
specified in sub-paragraph 5.D. above.

 

C.        Studio Location.  Atlantic shall maintain a main studio
facility, within the Station’s principal community contour,

 

10

 

and shall staff the Station consistent with the FCC’s
rules and policies.

 

8.         Handling of Station
Communications.  Atlantic shall
receive and handle mail, faxes, telegraph messages and telephone calls in
connection with the Atlantic’s operation of the Station.

 

9.         Atlantic’s Compliance
With FCC Rules and Policies.  Atlantic
shall comply in all material respects with all FCC rules and policies
applicable to its operation of the Station. Without limiting the foregoing
sentence, Atlantic’s obligations shall include ascertaining the needs and
interests of the Station’s service area, maintaining the Station’s political
broadcasting and public inspection files and the Station’s maintenance logs,
meeting equal employment opportunity requirements with regard to Atlantic’s
employees, preparing the Station’s quarterly issues/programs lists and making
all required FCC filings.

 

10.       Programming and the
Public Interest.  Throughout the term
of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties hereto, Broker
shall program the Station so as to maintain a general, advertiser-supported,
entertainment/sports format, with some mix permitted of home shopping,
religious, foreign language and infomercial programming. The Station shall not
become predominantly a home shopping, religious, foreign language and/or
infomercial station. The programming selected by Broker shall consist of such
materials as are determined by Broker to be appropriate and/or in the public
interest including, without limitation, public affairs programming, public
service announcements, entertainment, news, weather reports, sports,
promotional material, commercial material and advertising. Without

 

11

 

limiting the foregoing sentence, Broker will program
at least a total of one and one-half hours per week of news, public affairs, or
other non-sports, non-entertainment programming, between the hours of 6:00 AM
and 12:00 Midnight. Generally, Broker will air over the Station an amount of
informational programming (which may be news, public affairs or other informational
programming, including PSAs) at least equal to the total amount of such
programming aired over Station WPDE-TV.

 

Following the
commencement of Broker programming on the Station, Broker’s management
personnel as designated by Broker will meet at least twice per month with
Atlantic’s Station Manager in order to help formalize Atlantic’s oversight over
Broker’s activities at the Station. At such meetings, Atlantic will provide
Broker with the results of Atlantic’s ongoing efforts to ascertain the
problems, needs and interests of the Station’s service area, so that the
programming and public service announcements selected and/or scheduled by
Broker will be responsive thereto. In the event Atlantic determines that
additional attention should be directed to particular community needs, Broker
will cooperate to assure that Station’s locally-produced programming serves
those needs. In the event Atlantic decides that additional local programming
must be aired over the Station in order to better serve viewers’ problems,
needs and interests, Broker will cooperate with Atlantic in producing up to one
hour weekly of such programming using the appropriate facilities of Station and
staff of Broker. If Atlantic acquires syndicated programming (“Additional Syndicated Programming”) or if
Atlantic uses the Station’s staff for the production of local programs in
addition to  the informational and

 

12

 

public affairs programming described above in this
paragraph 10 (“Additional Local Programming”)
and in addition to the one hour per week specified in the immediately preceding
sentence, then all expenses for such additional programming (including fees to
Broker for use of Broker’s facilities, in accordance with a schedule adopted by
Broker) will be paid by Atlantic and will not be included in the calculation of
Broker payments due Atlantic under this Agreement. Such programs will be aired
at a mutually agreeable time between 6:00 AM and midnight.

 

Broker shall provide
Atlantic with all documents it receives which are required to be placed in the
Station’s political or public inspection files. Broker shall, upon reasonable
request by Atlantic, provide Atlantic with information with respect to programs
and public service announcements broadcast on the Station which are responsive
to the problems, needs and issues facing the residents of the Station’s service
area, and Broker’s programming for children, so as to assist Atlantic in the
preparation of required programming reports, and will assist Atlantic upon
request in compiling such other information which is reasonably necessary to
enable Atlantic to prepare other records and reports required by the FCC or
other government agencies.

 

Atlantic shall have the
full and unrestricted right to reject, delete and not broadcast any material
contained in any part of the programming selected and/or scheduled by Broker
which Atlantic in good faith determines is unsuitable for broadcast or the
broadcast of which Atlantic in good faith concludes would be contrary to law or
the public interest. Atlantic shall retain ultimate control over the Station’s
policies and standards, and, in that regard,

 

13

 

shall adopt written standards, generally in accordance
with industry standards for commercial television broadcast stations, in
substantially the same form and substance as Exhibit C attached hereto, for the
acceptance of programming material and commercial announcements. Atlantic
retains the right to modify such standards to conform to general industry
standards or to meet specific FCC rules and policies and to take any other
actions necessary for compliance with federal, state and local laws, rules and
regulations. Broker hereby covenants, warrants and represents that with regard
to the Station it will, at all times during the term of this Agreement, comply
in all material respects with such standards for acceptance of programming
material and commercial announcements.

 

11.       Special Programs.  Atlantic reserves the right, in its
discretion, to preempt Broker’s programs to broadcast special programs on
occasion concerning issues or events of local, regional or national importance
in the event that Broker does not broadcast same on its own initiative;
however, in all such cases, Atlantic will use its best efforts to give Broker
reasonable notice of its intention to preempt programs scheduled by Broker.

 

12.       Station Identification.  Atlantic will be responsible for the proper
broadcast of FCC-required station identification announcements; however,
Broker, while conducting its activities with regard to the Station pursuant to
this Agreement, shall broadcast all required station identification
announcements with respect to the Station in full compliance with FCC rules and
policies.

 

14

 

13.       Political Advertising.  Atlantic will be responsible for compliance
with the political broadcasting requirements of the Communications Act and the
FCC’s rules and policies promulgated thereunder. Broker, while conducting its
activities with regard to the Station pursuant to this Agreement, will comply
with said political broadcasting requirements, rules and policies. Broker
promptly shall supply to Atlantic such information as may be reasonably
necessary to permit Atlantic to comply with the lowest unit charge requirements
of Section 315 of the Communications Act. To the extent that Atlantic believes
necessary in Atlantic’s sole discretion, 
Broker  shall  release 
to  Atlantic  advertising availabilities and program time
as required by the FCC’s rules and policies to permit Atlantic to comply with
the reasonable access provisions of Section 312(a)(7) of the Communications Act
and the equal opportunities provision of Section 315 of the Communications Act
and the rules and policies of the FCC promulgated thereunder; provided,
however, that revenues realized by Atlantic as a result of any such release of
advertising and programming time shall promptly be remitted to Broker.

 

14.       Children’s Programming.  Atlantic will be responsible for insuring the
Station’s compliance with the Children’s Television Act of 1990 [47 U.S.C. §
303a and 303b], and the rules and policies of the FCC promulgated thereunder,
including ensuring that the Station complies with the commercial limits
established therein and serves the educational and informational needs of
children. Broker, while conducting its activities with regard to the Station
pursuant to this Agreement, will comply with said Children’s Television Act and
FCC rules and policies by presenting a

 

15

 

reasonable amount of children’s programming, including
educational/informational programming, and by observing the limitations on
advertising. In connection therewith, Broker shall be responsible for preparing
all necessary reports and certifications and delivering same to Atlantic for
placement in the Station’s public inspection file. Upon delivery of such
reports and certifications, they shall be certified by Broker’s general manager
as true and correct in all material respects. Such reports and certifications
shall include, without limitation, the following: (a) a quarterly report on
children’s programming pursuant to Section 73.3526(a)(8)(iii) of the FCC’s
rules; and (b) a certificate with respect to compliance with advertising limits
in children’s programs pursuant to Section 73.3526(a)(8)(ii) of the FCC’s
rules. Such advertising certification shall be in the form of the certificate
attached hereto as Exhibit F. In completing each quarterly certificate in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit F, Broker shall list the titles of all children’s
programs carried in the past quarter in which the advertising limits apply,
both local and network, all program segments wherein the allowed commercial
limits were exceeded, and a separate memo explaining why any excesses occurred.
In carrying out its obligations with respect to children’s programming, Broker
shall further maintain records with respect to commercial matter in children’s
programming either in the form of logs of programs reflecting the commercial
time, tapes of the programs, lists of commercial minutes aired in identified
children’s programs, or appropriate certificates from networks and syndicators
with respect to compliance with the FCC’s requirements on commercial limits.

 

16

 

15.       Atlantic’s
Responsibility For Compliance with FCC Technical Rules.  Atlantic shall retain, on a full time or part
time basis, a qualified Chief Engineer who shall be responsible for maintaining
the Station’s transmission facilities. Atlantic shall retain a Chief Operator,
as that term is defined by the rules and regulations of the FCC (who may also
hold the position of Chief Engineer), who shall be responsible for ensuring
compliance by the Station with the technical operating and reporting
requirements established by the FCC.

 

16.       Force Majeure.  Each party shall carry standard property and
casualty insurance for the property and equipment it owns. If any failure or
impairment of facilities or any delay or interruption in the broadcast of
programs, or failure at any time to furnish facilities, in whole or in part,
for broadcast, occurs due to causes beyond the control of Atlantic, then such failure,
impairment, delay or interruption, by itself, shall not constitute a breach of
or an event of default under this Agreement and Atlantic will not be liable to
Broker for any such failure, impairment, delay or interruption so long as (if
Atlantic elects to remedy such failure, impairment, delay or interruption)
Atlantic undertakes and continues reasonable efforts, subject to Broker’s
consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, to remedy any such
failure, impairment, delay or interruption. Promptly thereafter, if it elects
to do so by written notice to Broker, Atlantic will obtain any applicable
insurance proceeds and apply such proceeds to the cost of remedying such
failure, impairment, delay or interruption; provided that, if Atlantic
determines that it will not do so, Atlantic will give Broker prompt written
notice

 

17

 

of such determination. If Atlantic elects not to
remedy such failure, impairment, delay or interruption (or does not elect to do
so prior to the ninetieth day after such failure, impairment, delay or
interruption occurs), then during the six months thereafter Broker may elect to
obtain such insurance proceeds and effect such remedy by giving Atlantic
written notice to that effect. Whether Atlantic or Broker has elected to effect
such remedy, if the insurance proceeds are inadequate to pay the cost of such
remedy, Atlantic shall pay the difference.

 

17.       Trade Secrets and
Proprietary Information.  In the
event that: (a) any trade secrets or other proprietary information of Broker in
connection with this Agreement become known to Atlantic, and (b) such trade
secrets and/or proprietary information are not otherwise available in the
public domain or known publicly, Atlantic agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of such trade secrets and/or proprietary information and not to
use or disclose any such trade secrets and/or proprietary information without
the prior written consent of Broker (except as required by law, rule or
regulation, or by order of any government agency or court).

 

In the event that: (a)
any trade secrets or other proprietary information of Atlantic in connection
with this Agreement become known to Broker, and (b) such trade secrets and/or
proprietary information are not otherwise available in the public domain or
known publicly, Broker agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such trade
secrets and/or proprietary information and not to use or disclose any such
trade secrets and/or proprietary information without the prior written consent
of Atlantic (except as required

 

18

 

by law, rule or regulation, or by order of any
government agency or court).

 

The provisions of this
paragraph 17 shall continue in effect for two (2) years after the termination
of this Agreement.

 

18.       Payola and Conflicts of
Interest.  Broker agrees not to, and
to use reasonable efforts to cause its employees who have the ability to cause
the broadcast of programs and/or commercial matter on Station not to, accept
any consideration, compensation or gift or gratuity of any kind whatsoever,
regardless of its value or form, including, but not limited to, a commission,
discount, bonus, material, supplies or other merchandise, services or labor
(collectively, “Consideration”),
whether or not pursuant to written contracts or agreements between Broker and
merchants or advertisers, in consideration for the broadcast of any matter on
the Station unless the payor is identified, in the broadcast for which
Consideration was provided, as having paid for or furnished such Consideration,
in accordance with Sections 317 and 507 of the Communications Act [47 U.S.C. §§
317 and 508] and the FCC’s rules and policies. Broker agrees to execute, and,
as a condition of each such employee’s employment, to cause each of Broker’s
employees to execute, at least once every calendar year, a payola/conflict of
interest affidavit in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, and Broker agrees
to deliver the originals of all such affidavits to Atlantic as expeditiously as
possible following their execution.

 

19.       Broker’s Compliance with
Law.  Broker agrees that, throughout
the term of this Agreement, Broker will comply with all laws, rules,
regulations and policies applicable to the functions

 

19

 

performed by it in connection with the Station,
including, but not limited to, meeting equal employment opportunity
requirements with respect to Broker’s employees performing duties in connection
with the Station.

 

20.       No Sub-Brokering.  Broker will not sell time on the Station to
other time brokers who in turn will sell programming time to others. However,
nothing in this paragraph or this Agreement shall be interpreted as prohibiting
Broker from arranging for the broadcast on the Station of barter programming,
as that term is commonly used in the television broadcast syndicated program
business.

 

21.       Indemnification.

 

A.        Broker’s
Indemnification of Atlantic.  Other
than with respect to matters described in paragraph 22 below, Broker will
indemnify and hold Atlantic and Atlantic’s employees, agents and contractors
harmless, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees, from and
against all liability, claims, damages and causes of action (“Losses”) arising out of or resulting from
acts or omissions of Broker which constitute: (a) libel and slander to the
extent not covered by insurance maintained by Broker or Atlantic; (b) willful
infringement of trade marks, service marks or trade names to the extent not
covered by insurance maintained by Broker or Atlantic; (c) willful or repeated
violations of law, rules, regulations, or orders (including the FCC’s rules and
policies); (d) willful invasion of rights of privacy or willful infringement of
copyrights or other proprietary rights; or (e) breaches of this Agreement.
Broker’s obligation to indemnify and hold Atlantic and Atlantic’s employees,
agents and contractors

 

20

 

harmless against the Losses specified above shall
survive any termination of this Agreement until the expiration of all
applicable statutes of limitation.

 

B.        Atlantic’s
Indemnification of Broker.  Other
than with respect to matters described in paragraph 23 below, Atlantic will
indemnify and hold Broker and Broker’s employees, agents and contractors
harmless, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees, from and
against all Losses arising out of or resulting from acts or omissions of
Atlantic which constitute: (a) libel and slander to the extent not covered by
insurance maintained by Broker or Atlantic; (b) willful infringement of
trademarks, service marks or trade names to the extent not covered by insurance
maintained by Broker or Atlantic; (c) willful or repeated violations of law,
rules, regulations or orders; (d) willful invasion of rights of privacy or
willful infringement of copyrights and other proprietary rights; or (e)
breaches of this Agreement. Atlantic’s obligation to indemnify and hold Broker
and Broker’s employees, agents and contractors harmless against Losses
specified above shall survive any termination of this Agreement until the
expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation.

 

C.        Procedure for
Indemnification.  The procedure for
indemnification pursuant to sub-paragraphs 21.A. and 21.B. above will be as
follows:

 

i.          Notice.  The party claiming indemnification (the “Claimant”) will give reasonably prompt
notice to the party from whom indemnification is claimed (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim for
which indemnification is sought, whether between the parties or brought by a
third party, specifying (i) the factual

 

21

 

basis of such claim (to the extent that it is then
known to the Indemnifying Party) and (ii) the amount of the claim (to the
extent that it is then known to the Indemnifying Party) . If such claim relates
to an action, suit or proceeding filed by a third party against the Claimant,
such notice will be given by the Claimant not later than the twentieth day
after the Claimant received written notice of such action, suit or proceeding; provided
that any failure to deliver or delay in delivering such notice on or prior to
such twentieth day will relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations to
the Claimant in respect of such claim only to the extent that the Indemnifying
Party is prejudiced by such failure or delay.

 

ii.         Investigation.  Following receipt of notice from the Claimant
of a claim for which indemnification is sought, the Indemnifying Party will
have twenty days (or such shorter period of time as is required to respond to
the subject litigation or proceeding) to make, at the Indemnifying Party’s
expense, such investigation of the claim as the Indemnifying Party deems
necessary or desirable. For the purposes of such investigation, the Claimant
agrees to make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s
expense, all information relied upon by the Claimant to substantiate such
claim.

 

iii.        Third-Party Claims.  With respect to any claim by a third party
pursuant to which such third party seeks only the recovery of an amount of
money and as to which a Claimant seeks indemnification under sub-paragraph 21.A
or 21.B. above, the Indemnifying Party will have the right (at any time after
the Indemnifying Party gives the Claimant written notice wherein the

 

22

 

Indemnifying Party acknowledges that the Indemnifying
Party is obligated to indemnify the Claimant in respect of such claim pursuant
to sub-paragraph 21.A. or 21.B. above, as appropriate), at the Indemnifying
Party’s own expense, to participate in or assume control of the defense of such
claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Claimant, and the Claimant
will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such
defense. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense of
any third-party claim, the Claimant will have the right to participate in the
defense of such claim and retain separate co-counsel at its own expense; provided
that if the Indemnifying Party requests that the Claimant participate in such
defense or if the Claimant reasonably believes that a conflict of interest
exists between the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnifying
Party will reimburse the Claimant for the reasonable expenses and fees of the
Claimant’s counsel. Without the Claimant’s consent, the Indemnifying Party will
not consent to an entry of judgment or settlement of such claim which does not
include a release of all liability of the Claimant. If the Indemnifying Party
does not elect to assume control or otherwise participate in the defense of any
third party claim, it will be bound by the results obtained by the Claimant
with respect to such claim.

 

iv.        Expedited Response.  If a claim, whether between the parties or by
a third party, requires immediate action, the parties will use reasonable
efforts to reach a decision with respect to such claim as expeditiously as
possible.

 

23

D.        Insurance.  Broker and Atlantic each shall maintain
broadcasters’ liability insurance policies covering libel, slander, invasion of
privacy and the like, general liability, blanket crime, property damage,
business interruption, automobile liability, and workers’ compensation
insurance in forms and amounts customary in the television broadcast industry,
and each of the parties hereto shall name the other as an additional insured
under such policies to the extent that their respective interests may appear and
shall provide for notice to the other party prior to cancellation thereof.
Prior to the Commencement Date, each party shall provide the other with
certificates evidencing such insurance, and shall further provide certificates
evidencing renewal thereof prior to the expiration of such policies.

 

22.       Atlantic’s Events of Default.  A “Atlantic’s Event of Default” will occur if:

 

(a)       Atlantic
fails to provide the use of the Station’s transmission facilities or a material
portion of the Station’s studio/production facilities to Broker in accordance
with paragraph 3 above for any period of five or more consecutive days, or for
any five or more days during any period of ten consecutive days;

 

(b)       A
failure or impairment of facilities or delay or interruption in the broadcast
of programs, or failure to furnish facilities for broadcast, described in
paragraph 16 above, occurs and (i) Atlantic gives Broker written notice to the
effect that Atlantic elects not to remedy such failure,

 

24

 

impairment, delay or
interruption in accordance with paragraph 16 above, or (ii) such failure,
impairment, delay or interruption continues for ninety days and, prior to the
ninetieth day thereof, Atlantic does not give Broker written notice to the
effect that Atlantic elects to remedy such failure, impairment, delay or
interruption in accordance with paragraph 16 above;

 

(c)       Atlantic
fails to cure any other breach of this Agreement by Atlantic on or prior to the
ninetieth day after Atlantic receives a written request from Broker to cure
such default, if such default, if not cured, would have a materially adverse
effect on Broker’s activities with respect to the Station pursuant to this
Agreement (provided that, so long as Atlantic continues to use
reasonable efforts to cure such default, such failure will not constitute an
Atlantic’s Event of Default so long as the continuing existence of such default
will not have a materially adverse effect on Broker’s activities with respect
to the Station pursuant to this Agreement); or

 

(d)       Atlantic
commits repeated, willful breaches of its obligations pursuant to this
Agreement which, when considered separately, do not constitute an Atlantic’s
Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (c) above but which, when
taken together, materially impair Broker’s ability to

 

25

 

conduct its activities with respect to the Station in
accordance with this Agreement, and Atlantic thereafter commits any such
willful breach after having received written notice from Broker to the effect
that, if any such willful breach occurs again after more than a reasonable cure
period after such notice, Broker may declare that an Atlantic’s Event of
Default has occurred pursuant to this sub-paragraph 22(d).

 

(e)       Atlantic
ceases doing business as a going concern, makes an assignment for the benefit
of creditors, admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become
due, files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, is adjudicated a bankrupt or an
insolvent, files a petition seeking for itself any reorganization, arrangement,
composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar arrangement
under any present or future statute, law or regulation or files an answer
admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such
proceeding, consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee,
receiver, or liquidator of it or of any substantial part of its assets or
properties, or if it or its shareholders shall take any action looking to its
dissolution or liquidation.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no fact or circumstance
described in this paragraph 22 will constitute an Atlantic’s Event of Default
if

 

26

 

the existence of such fact
or circumstance is proximately caused or contributed to in any material respect
by any material breach by Broker of its obligations under this Agreement. Any
period provided in this paragraph 22 for the cure of any condition which, if
uncured, would constitute an Atlantic’s Event of Default will be tolled from
the time Atlantic gives Broker a written notice disputing the existence of such
condition and until the end of any accounting or arbitration pursuant to this
Agreement or the Option Agreement concerning the existence of such condition or
until such dispute is otherwise finally resolved.

 

23.       Broker’s Events of Default.  A “Broker’s Event of Default” occurs if:

 

(a)       Broker fails to provide
programming for broadcast by the Station for any period of five or more
consecutive days, or for any five or more days during any period of ten
consecutive days;

 

(b)       Broker
fails to cease or cure, as promptly as possible after Broker receives written
request from Atlantic, any violation of applicable law or any rule or
regulation which, if not ceased or cured at such time, would have a materially adverse effect on any FCC License
which is essential to the operation of the Station as it is operated on the
Commencement Date;

 

(c)       Broker does not cease,
as soon as practicable after Broker receives a written request from Atlantic,
the broadcast over the Station of any programming which is obscene or indecent;

 

27

 

(d)       Broker commits willful and repeated violations of applicable law or
rules or regulations of a type which are not described in sub-paragraph 23(b)
above if such willful and repeated violations would have a materially adverse
effect on any FCC License which is essential to the operation of the Station as
it is operated on the Commencement Date, and Broker thereafter commits any such
willful violation after having received written notice from Atlantic to the
effect that, if any such willful violation occurs again after more than a reasonable
cure period after such notice, Atlantic may declare that a Broker’s Event of
Default has occurred pursuant to this sub-paragraph 23(d);

 

(e)       Broker commits willful and repeated violations of Atlantic’s written
standards for acceptance of programming material and commercial announcements
described in paragraph 10 above (as in effect from time to time), and Broker
thereafter commits any such willful violation after having received written
notice from Atlantic to the effect that, if any such willful violation occurs
again after more than a reasonable cure period after such notice, Atlantic may
declare that a Broker’s Event of Default has occurred pursuant to this
sub-paragraph 23(e);

 

(f)        Broker fails to cure any other breach of this Agreement by Broker on or
prior to the ninetieth

 

28

 

day after Broker receives a written request from
Atlantic to cure such default, if such default, if not cured, would have a
materially adverse effect on the operation of the Station by Atlantic if Broker’s
activities with respect to the Station pursuant to this Agreement were
terminated (provided that, so long as Broker continues to use reasonable
efforts to cure such default, such failure will not constitute a Broker’s Event
of Default so long as the continuing existence of such default will not have a
materially adverse effect on the operation of the Station by Atlantic if Broker’s
activities with respect to the Station pursuant to this Agreement were
terminated); or

 

(g)       Broker
commits repeated, willful breaches of its obligations pursuant to this
Agreement which, when considered separately, do not constitute a Broker’s Event
of Default described in clauses (a) through (i) above but which, when taken
together, frustrate Atlantic’s activities with respect to the Station in
accordance with this Agreement, and Broker thereafter commits any such willful
breach after having received written notice from Atlantic to the effect that,
if any such willful breach occurs again after more than a reasonable cure
period after such notice, Atlantic may declare that a Broker’s Event of Default
has occurred pursuant to this sub-paragraph 23(g).

 

29

 

(h)       Broker
ceases doing business as a going concern, makes an assignment for the benefit
of creditors, admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become
due, files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, is adjudicated a bankrupt or an
insolvent, files a petition seeking for itself any reorganization, arrangement,
composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar arrangement
under any present or future statute, law or regulation or files an answer
admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such
proceeding, consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee,
receiver, or liquidator of it or of any substantial part of its assets or
properties, or if it or its shareholders shall take any action looking to its
dissolution or liquidation.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no fact or circumstance
described in this paragraph 23 will constitute a Broker’s Event of Default if
the existence of such fact or circumstance is proximately caused or contributed
to in any material respect by any material breach by Atlantic of its
obligations under this Agreement. Any period provided in this paragraph 23 for
the cure of any condition which, if uncured, would constitute a Broker’s Event
of Default will be tolled from the time Broker gives Atlantic a written notice
disputing the existence of such condition and until the end of any accounting
or arbitration pursuant to this Agreement or the Option

 

30

 

Agreement concerning the existence of such condition
or until such dispute is otherwise finally resolved.

 

24.       Termination Upon Order
of Governmental Authority.  A “Governmental
Termination Event” will occur if any court or federal, state or
local government authority (including the FCC) orders or takes any action which
becomes effective and which requires the termination or material curtailment of
the Broker’s activities with respect to the Station pursuant to this Agreement;
provided that such order or action will no longer constitute a
Governmental Termination Event if such action or order is subsequently stayed
or ceases to be effective. If any court or federal, state or local government
authority announces or takes any other action or proposed action which could
result in a Governmental Termination Event, then either Broker or Atlantic may
seek administrative or judicial relief therefrom (in which event the other of
them shall cooperate with such effort in any reasonable manner requested) and
consult with such agency and its staff concerning such matters and, in the
event that this Agreement is not terminated, use their best efforts and
negotiate in good faith a modification to this Agreement which would obviate
any such questions as to validity while preserving, to the extent possible, the
intent of the parties and the economic and other benefits of this Agreement and
the Option Agreement and the portions thereof the validity of which are called
into question. If the FCC designates the license renewal application of the
Station for a hearing as a consequence of this Agreement or for any other
reason, or initiates any revocation or other proceeding with respect to the
authorizations issued to the Atlantic for the operation of the

 

31

 

Station, then Atlantic shall use diligent, reasonable
efforts to contest such action and shall be responsible for its expenses
incurred as a consequence of such FCC proceeding; provided, however, that
Broker shall cooperate and comply with any reasonable request of Atlantic to
assemble and provide to the FCC information relating to Broker’s performance
under this Agreement. In the event of termination of Broker’s activities with
respect to the Station pursuant to this Agreement as a result of any
Governmental Termination Event, Atlantic shall cooperate reasonably with Broker
to the extent permitted to enable Broker to fulfill advertising or other
programming contracts then outstanding.

 

25.       Additional
Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

 

A.        Mutual Additional
Representations, Warranties and Covenants.  Each of Atlantic and
Broker represents that it is legally qualified, and has all requisite corporate
powers and capacity, to enter into this Agreement, and that the execution,
delivery and performance hereof by it shall not constitute a breach or violation
of any agreement, contract or other obligation to which it is subject or by
which it is bound. Each party hereto represents and warrants that it has taken
all necessary corporate and other necessary action to make this Agreement
legally binding on such party, and that the individual signing this Agreement
on behalf of such party has been fully authorized and empowered to execute this
Agreement on behalf of such party.

 

B.        Finders.  The
parties hereto represent and warrant that no broker or finder has been used in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Option
Agreement.

 

32

 

C.        Atlantic’s Additional
Representations, Warranties and Covenants.  Atlantic makes the
following further representations, warranties and covenants:

 

i.          Authorizations.  Atlantic
owns or holds all material licenses and other permits and authorizations
reasonably necessary for the construction of the Station (including licenses,
permits and authorizations issued by the FCC), and Atlantic (including its
Affiliates, principals, employees and agents) will take no action to impair
such licenses, permits and authorizations.

 

ii.         Advanced
Television/High Definition Television.  If the FCC gives Atlantic the right
to apply for a second Florence area television channel for Advanced Television
(“ATV”) or High Definition
Television (“HDTV”), Atlantic will submit and prosecute a complete, timely
application to the FCC for that purpose, if requested by Broker, provided that
Broker shall agree to reimburse Atlantic for all costs and expenses occasioned
by such filing and prosecution. If the FCC awards Atlantic such a second
Florence area channel, such channel will be included within this Time Brokerage
Agreement in the same manner, and under the same terms, as the Station’s
current broadcast channel.

 

D.        Broker’s Additional
Representations, Warranties and Covenants.  In carrying out its
activities with regard to the Station pursuant to this Agreement, Broker shall
comply in all material respects with the terms, provisions and conditions of
the Station’s contracts and agreements which are utilized by Broker.

 

26.       Sale of Station To
Broker.  Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Time Brokerage Agreement to the contrary, this Time Brokerage Agreement
shall terminate (except for the

 

33

 

indemnification provisions and Section 17 of this Time
Brokerage Agreement, which shall survive any such termination) upon the Closing
as defined in the Option Agreement.

 

27.       Procedures for
Termination.

 

A.        Upon Broker’s Events of
Default.  At any time when a Broker’s Event of
Default is in existence, Atlantic may give Broker written notice (a “Atlantic’s Termination Notice”) to the
effect that Atlantic elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
sub-paragraph 27.A; provided that, if the matter of whether a Broker’s
Event of Default has occurred is the subject of a dispute pursuant to this
Agreement, then this Agreement and the Option will expire instead on the
sixtieth (60th) day after the Final Determination of the arbitrator (as defined
in paragraph 39.D.) that such Broker’s Event of Default occurred.

 

B.        Upon Broker’s Failure
to Enter Into or Maintain Fox Affiliation Agreement.  Broker may give Atlantic
written notice (a “Broker’s  Termination Notice”) on or after August 1,
1995 to the effect that Broker elects to terminate this Agreement if the
Station has not entered into an affiliation agreement for the Station with the
Fox television network. Broker also may give Atlantic such written notice
terminating this Agreement if, after the commencement of said Fox affiliation
agreement, Fox cancels such affiliation for any reason. If Broker terminates
this Agreement pursuant to this sub-paragraph, Broker shall continue to fulfill
its obligations under this Agreement for up to one year (including the monthly
payments specified in section 4 above). In such circumstance, Atlantic shall
have option(s) to purchase the transmission facilities used for the Station,
but excluding the

 

34

 

tower on which the Station antenna is installed,
pursuant to the Transmission Facilities and Studio Construction and Lease
Agreement of even date herewith.

 

C.        Upon Certain Atlantic’s
Events of Default.  At any time when an Atlantic’s Event of
Default (other than an Atlantic’s Event of Default described in sub-paragraph
22(b) above) is in existence, Broker may give Atlantic written notice (a “Broker’s Termination Notice”)  to the effect that Broker elects to end
the term of this Agreement pursuant to this sub-paragraph 27.C.; provided
that, if the matter of whether an Atlantic’s Event of Default has occurred is
the subject of a dispute pursuant to this Agreement, then this Agreement will
expire instead on the sixtieth (60th) day after the Final Determination of the
arbitrator (as defined in paragraph 39.D.) that such Atlantic’s Event of
Default occurred.

 

D.        Upon Government
Termination.    Subject
to the termination provisions of sub-paragraphs 27.A., 27.B. and 27.C., if a
Governmental Termination Event occurs, then the term of this Agreement will
continue until the first to occur of

 

(a)       the
date upon which the activities of Broker and Atlantic are required to be
ceased, as mandated by the agency or authority which brought about such
Governmental Termination Event (the “Mandatory
Cessation
Date”), and

 

(b)       the Acquisition Date (as that term is defined in the Option Agreement);
and

 

(c)       the expiration or the termination of the Option Agreement in accordance
with its terms.

 

35

 

E.         Upon Force Majeure.  At
any time after an Atlantic’s Event of Default described in sub-paragraph 22(b)
has occurred, Broker may give Atlantic written notice (also a “Broker’s Termination Notice”)  to the effect that Broker elects to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this sub-paragraph 27.E.

 

28.       Notices.         All notices, demands and
requests required or permitted to be given under the provisions of this
Agreement shall be (a) in writing, (b) delivered to the recipient in person or
sent by commercial delivery service or registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid and return receipt requested, (c) deemed to have been given on the date
received by the recipient (if delivered in person) on the date set forth in the
records of the delivery service (if delivered by commercial delivery service)

or to any such other or additional persons and
addresses as the parties may from time to time designate in a writing delivered
in accordance with this paragraph 28.

 

29.       Modification and Waiver.   No amendment, supplement
or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless
the same shall be in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement
of any such amendment, supplement or modification is sought, and then such amendment,
supplement or modification shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the purpose for which given.

 

30.       Construction.  This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic
laws of the State of South Carolina, without giving effect to any choice of law
or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of South Carolina or
any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Wisconsin.

 

31.       Headings.  The
headings in this Agreement are included for ease of reference only and will not
control or affect the meaning or construction of the provisions of this
Agreement.

 

32.       Assignment.  This
Agreement may not be assigned by either party hereto without the express
written approval of the other party hereto; however, this Agreement shall be
assignable by Broker to Diversified Communications without consent of Atlantic,
and where appropriate in the context and consistent with this provision, the term
“Broker” as used herein shall mean and include such assignee.

 

37

 

33.       Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as
if the signature(s) on each such counterpart were upon the same instrument.
This Agreement shall be effective as of the date first above written.

 

34.       Entire Agreement.  Other
than the Option Agreement and the Transmission Facilities and Studio
Construction and Lease Agreement, this Agreement represents the sole and entire
understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject
matter of this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations and
understandings between the parties whatsoever all letters of intent and other
writings relating to such negotiations and understandings.

 

35.       No Partnership or Joint
Venture Created.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to create a partnership or joint venture between Atlantic and Broker
or to afford any rights to any third party other than as expressly provided
herein. Neither Atlantic nor Broker shall have any authority to create or
assume in the name or on behalf of the other party any obligation, express or
implied, or to act or purport to act as the agent or legally empowered
representative of the other party hereto for any purpose.

 

36.       Severability.  Whenever
possible each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted so as to be
effective and valid under applicable law. Subject to the provisions of
paragraph 23 above, if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited
by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to
the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or otherwise
affecting the remainder or such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Agreement.

 

38

 

37.       Legal Effect.  This
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto, their heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors and
assigns.

 

38.       No Party Deemed Drafter.  No
party will be deemed the drafter of this Agreement and if this Agreement is
construed by a court of law such court should not construe this Agreement or
any provision against any party as its drafter.

 

39.       Arbitration.

 

A.        Generally.  Broker
and Atlantic agree that the arbitration procedures described in this paragraph
39 will be the sole and exclusive method of resolving and remedying claims for
money damages (including any claim for indemnification pursuant to paragraph
21) arising under this Agreement (“Disputes”).
Nothing in this paragraph 39 will prohibit a party from instituting
litigation to enforce any Final Determination, as defined in sub-paragraph
39.D. below, or availing itself of any remedy other than money damages. Broker
and Atlantic agree that, except as otherwise provided in the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association as in effect from
time to time (the “AAA Rules”),
the arbitration procedures described in this paragraph 39 and any Final
Determination will be governed by, and will be enforceable pursuant to, the
Uniform Arbitration Act as in effect in the State of South Carolina from time
to time. No person will be entitled to claim or recover punitive damages in any
such proceeding.

 

B.        Notice of Arbitration.  If
Broker or Atlantic (the “Disputing Person”) will
give the other person a written notice setting forth the nature of the asserted
Dispute. If Broker and

 

39

 

Atlantic do not resolve any such asserted Dispute
prior to the tenth business day after such notice is given, then the Disputing
Person may commence arbitration pursuant to this paragraph 39 by giving the
other person a written notice to that effect (an “Arbitration Notice”), setting forth any matters which are
required to be set forth therein in accordance with the AAA Rules.

 

C.        Selection of Arbitrator.  Broker
and Atlantic will attempt to select a single arbitrator by mutual agreement. If
no such arbitrator is selected prior to the twentieth (20th) business day after
the related Arbitration Notice is given, then an arbitrator who is experienced
in matters of the type which are the subject matter of the Dispute will be
selected in accordance with the AAA Rules.

 

D.        Conduct of Arbitration.  The
arbitration will be conducted under the AAA Rules, as modified by any written
agreement between Broker and Atlantic. The arbitrator will conduct the
arbitration in a manner so that the final result, determination, finding,
judgment or award determined by the arbitrator (the “Final  Determination”) is
made or rendered as soon as practicable, and the parties and arbitrator will
use their reasonable best efforts to reach a Final Determination no later than
the sixtieth day after the arbitrator is selected. Any Final Determination will
be final and binding upon Broker and Atlantic there will be no appeal from or
reexamination of any Final Determination, except in the case of fraud, perjury
or evident partiality or misconduct by the arbitrator prejudicing the rights of
Broker or Atlantic or to correct manifest clerical errors.

 

40

 

E.         Enforcement.  Broker and Atlantic
agree that a Final Determination may be enforced in any state or federal court
having jurisdiction over the subject matter of the related Dispute. For
purposes or any action or proceeding instituted with respect to any Final
Determination, each of Broker and Atlantic irrevocably submits to the
jurisdiction of any such court, irrevocably consents to the service of process
by registered mail or personal service, and irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, any objection which it may have as to personal
jurisdiction, the laying of venue, and any claim that such action or proceeding
has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

F.         Expenses.  The prevailing party in
any such arbitration proceeding in connection with this Agreement, also will be
entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements and the non-prevailing party also will be required to pay all
other costs and expenses associated with the arbitration or audit (including
the fees and expenses of any such arbitrator or Independent Accountant). As
part of the Final Determination the arbitrator may designate the prevailing
party. In the event that the arbitrator is unable to determine that a party has
prevailed in the arbitration or audit, such costs and expenses shall be
equitably allocated by the arbitrator upon the basis of the outcome of the
arbitration or audit. If the arbitrator or Independent Accountant is unable to
allocate such fees on this basis as a result of the outcome, then the costs of
arbitration or audit shall be paid equally by the parties and each party shall
pay its own expenses. Except as provided in this sub-paragraph 39. F., each
party to this Agreement will bear its own costs and expenses (including legal
fees and disbursements) in connection
with any such proceeding or submission.

 

41

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
parties hereto have executed this Agreement to be effective as of the date
above written.

  Time Brokerage Agreement

  

 

Gentlemen:

 

This
will confirm our agreement concerning the Time Brokerage Agreement (“TBA”)
being negotiated between Vision Communications, Inc. (“Vision”) and Atlantic
Media Group, Inc. (“Atlantic”) for the television station authorized an Channel
21 at Florence, South Carolina.

 

In
the event Vision and Diversified Communications (“Diversified”) close on the
sale of Station WPDE-TV, Florence, South Carolina, on or prior to March 31,
1994, Diversified hereby renounces and disclaims any direct or indirect rights
and interests it may be deemed to have with respect to the operation of Channel
21 pursuant to the TBA.

 

However,
in the event Vision and Diversified do not close on the sale of WPDE-TV to
Vision on or prior to Match 31, 1994, Vision hereby assigns to Diversified all
of its rights and delegates to Diversified all of its obligations under the
TBA, and Diversified hereby accepts all of Vision’s rights and assumes all of
Vision’s obligations under the TBA, all effective as of April 1, 1994. Such
acceptance and assumption by Diversified is conditioned only upon Vision’s
agreement to keep Diversified and its counsel fully informed as to the
negotiations with Atlantic concerning the TBA, and the related agreements
contemplated by the TBA. Diversified agrees to advise Vision as promptly as
possible with respect to its position concerning negotiations relating to the
TBA and related agreements with respect to issues that may arise during such
negotiations. Furthermore, in the event Vision and Diversified do not close on
the sale of WPDE-TV to Vision on or prior to March 31, 1994, and Diversified
and Atlantic enter into the TBA and related agreements contemplated by the TBA,
Diversified agrees to reimburse Vision promptly for its reasonable engineering
and legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiations with
Atlantic.

 

 

If
this accurately reflects our agreement, please so indicate by signing in the
space provided below.
