contrary to the public interest (an “Unacceptable Program”), or from
substituting a program that Licensee reasonably believes is of greater local or

notice of each such preemption, and the justification therefor, at least
seventy-two (72) hours in advance of the scheduled telecast, or as soon
thereafter as circumstances permit (including an explanation of the cause for
any lesser notice); and further provided that, except with respect to
Unacceptable Programs, unless UPN gives Licensee written notice that UPN is

policies; (ii) the Network Program does not meet customary engineering
standards; or (iii) Licensee reasonably believes that the Network Program
would not meet prevailing contemporary standards of good taste in the Licensed

6.2.          UPN’s
Rights With Respect to Preemptions. 
If, pursuant to paragraph 6.1 hereof, Licensee preempts, or
notifies UPN that it will preempt, a Network Program, then (regardless of whether
such preemption is an Authorized Preemption or an Unauthorized Preemption), UPN

Licensee’s

 

7

 

right to telecast the preempted
Network Program, and license such telecast rights to any other party, or
(ii) require Licensee to comply with the make-good provisions of
paragraph 6.3, below (which make-good provisions shall, however, be
inapplicable if the Network Program preempted was an Unacceptable

series of Network Programs (a “Network Series”), Licensee preempts
three (3) or more episodes during any twelve (12) month period

program which Licensee reasonably believes is of greater local or national
importance), then in addition to any other rights or remedies accorded to UPN
hereunder, UPN shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate
Licensee’s right to telecast the remaining episodes of such Network Series
intended for telecast during the then-current and/or future broadcast
season(s), and may license the telecast rights to such terminated episodes to
any other party.

reason to telecast any Network Program or any part thereof (including, without
limitation, all of the commercial and promotional announcements contained

such omitted Network Program and the commercial and promotional announcements
contained therein (or any replacement Network Program and commercial and
promotional announcements designated by UPN) in the time period pre-designated
by the parties as set forth in Exhibit A hereto.  If Licensee does not promptly comply with the provisions of this
paragraph 6.3, UPN shall have the right, without limitation of any other
right it may have, to license the telecast rights to the omitted Network
Program to any other party, and shall have the right to terminate Licensee’s
right to telecast the remaining episodes of such Network Series intended for
telecast during the then-current and/or future broadcast season(s) and
thereafter license the telecast rights to such terminated episodes to any other
part.  In addition, if Licensee does not
promptly comply with the provisions of this paragraph 6.3, the preemption,
which gave rise to the make-good obligation, shall automatically constitute an
Unauthorized Preemption hereunder (as of the date of the original preemption),
even if such preemption was originally an Authorized Preemption.

Marks or UPN.  Licensee recognizes that
its undertaking in this paragraph represents a major inducement and
consideration for UPN to enter into this Agreement.

 

1.3.          Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, in the event that UPN discontinues its use of one
(1) or more of the Marks, upon written notice to:  Licensee that UPN has discontinued its use of such Mark or Marks,

standards set forth herein, in which case Licensee shall pay all reasonable
costs and expenses of carrying out the inspection.

material aspect of the Goods and Services, or Licensee’s use of the Marks in
connection with the production, advertising, promotion or telecasting of the

borne solely by Licensee.  As to suits
instituted by Licensee with UPN’s prior written consent, Licensee shall
undertake and control the prosecution of such suits using counsel approved by
UPN, and such counsel shall consult fully with UPN concerning the strategy and

any rights against UPN for damages or any other remedy by reason of any action

other proceeding undertaken by it for any such purpose.

27.           Licensee
agrees to use its best efforts to obtain upon commencement of the License Term
and maintain through the end of the first year of the License Term,
distribution by cable systems of the Subchannel that carries the Network
Programs to at least sixty five percent (65%) of cable subscribers in the
Station’s DMA and to obtain within one years of the commencement of the License

28.           It
is agreed and understood that nothing in the Agreement shall be construed as a
waiver of any legal right or obligation possessed by or imposed on the parties
by any applicable law, rule or regulation. 
In particular, it is agreed that paragraphs 2.2.2, 2.2.3, 2.3, 2.4,
2.5, 4.1, 4.2, 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.2 and 6.3 shall be construed so as to conform
with the “exclusive affiliation”, “territorial exclusivity”, “time option” and
“right to reject” rules (47 CFR § 73.658) as interpreted by the
FCC.  It is understood that the
interpretation of these rules is presently the subject of an FCC
proceeding.  It is agreed that the terms
of the Agreement shall be construed in a fashion consistent with the decision
rendered in that proceeding.

EXHIBIT A

 

1.             Licensee
does not have any prior programming commitments.  Licensee shall nevertheless be entitled to ten (10) hours per
calendar year of one-time-only preemptions of Network Programs (pro rated for
the period from the commencement of the License Term through the first December
31 thereof and for the period from the final January 1 thereof through the end
of the License Term), which preemptions shall be deemed Authorized
Preemptions.  In addition, it is
understood that Licensee intends to explore the possibility of obtaining
broadcast rights to professional and local sports programming in which event
the parties shall negotiate in good faith with respect to increasing the number
of Authorized Preemptions and UPN shall not unreasonably withhold its consent
to such an increase.

 

2.             With
regard to preemptions of Prime Time Network Programs, the make-good times shall
be as follows, with Licensee exerting its best efforts to program the make-good
alternatives in descending order as set forth in the table below:

 

	
  2.1.

  	
   

  	
  First Alternative:

  	
   

  	
  Immediately following the preemption, or if the news immediately
  follows the preemption, immediately following said newscast, provided that no
  make-goods shall conclude after 12:00 midnight Eastern and Pacific Times.
  (11:00 p.m. Central and Mountain Times).

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  2.2.

  	
   

  	
  Second Alternative:

  	
   

  	
  Saturday, 8:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. or Sunday, 7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
  Eastern and Pacific Times (Saturday, 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. or Sunday, 6:00
  p.m. — 9:00 p.m. Central and Mountain Times), until such time as UPN programs
  said time period(s).

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  2.3.

  	
   

  	
  Third Alternative:

  	
   

  	
  Saturday, 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. or Sunday, 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
  Eastern and Pacific Times (Saturday, 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. or Sunday, 3:00
  p.m. – 6:00 p.m. Central and Mountain Times).

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  2.4.

  	
   

  	
  Fourth Alternative:

  	
   

  	
  Monday through Sunday, 10:00 p.m. – 12:00 midnight Eastern and
  Pacific Times (9:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. Central and Mountain Times).

  

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the make-good time for WWE Smackdown! or
any successor WWE program shall be in accordance with those requirements
imposed from time to time by World Wrestling Entertainment and UPN and of which
Licensee shall be notified by UPN.  Such
requirements are currently that the make-good time shall be between 6:00 p.m.
and 2:00 a.m. on the Friday or Saturday following the preemption.

 

A - 1

 

3.             Pursuant
to paragraph 6.3 of the Agreement, the make-good times for preemptions of
non-Prime Time Network Programs shall be as follows:

 

	
  3.1.

  	
   

  	
  Weekend Programming

  	
   

  	
  If the preempted Network Program is one intended primarily for
  children twelve (12) years old or younger, Saturday or Sunday between 7:00
  a.m. and 6:00 p.m. (in all time zones). 
  For all other preempted Weekend Programming, Saturday or Sunday
  between 12:00 noon and 12:00 midnight (in all time zones).

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  3.2.

  	
   

  	
  Daytime Programming

  	
   

  	
  Monday through Friday between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. in all time
  zones).

  

 

4.             Notwithstanding
anything in paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Exhibit A to the contrary, no
make-good telecast shall conflict with the telecast of any other regularly
scheduled Network Program and no make-good telecast shall conclude after the
end of the Sunday broadcast day (i.e. 2:00 a.m. Monday morning) during the
broadcast week the preempted Network Program was originally scheduled for
telecast.

 

A - 2

 

EXHIBIT B

 

EXCLUSIVITY RIDER

 

This Exclusivity Agreement is entered into with reference to the
following facts:

 

A.            Licensee
and UPN have entered into that certain Affiliation Agreement pursuant to which
UPN has agreed to deliver certain television programs to Licensee (collectively
the “Network Programs”).

 

B.            Licensee
desires to exhibit the Network Programs on an exclusive basis in the Licensed
Community.

 

C.            UPN
desires that Licensee shall exhibit the Network Programs in the Licensed
Community on an exclusive basis.

 

WHEREFORE, Licensee
and UPN hereby agree as follows:

 

1.0           The
following definitions shall apply in interpreting the terms of this Exclusivity
Agreement:

 

1.10         “Cable
television system” has the meaning given to that term in Section 76.5(a)
of the FCC Rules.

 

1.11         “FCC
Rules” means the rules and regulations of the FCC, as the same may be in effect
from time-to-time, as set forth in volume 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(47 CFR).  All references in this
Exclusivity Agreement to specific sections of the FCC Rules shall be deemed to
be references to the applicable section in 47 CFR

 

1.12         “Network
Exclusivity Zone” means the zone within thirty-five (35) miles of a station’s
Reference Points, or, in the case of a “small market television station”, as
defined in Section 76.92 of the FCC Rules, the zone within fifty-five (55)
miles of said Reference Points; provided, however, that in no case shall the
“Network Exclusivity Zone” include an area within the Designated Market Area,
as most recently determined by Nielsen Media Research, of another UPN
affiliate.

 

1.13         “Reference
Point” has the meaning given to that term in Section 73.658(m) of the FCC
Rules, and shall be deemed to include with respect to a station in a hyphenated
market, the Reference Point of each named community in that market.

 

1.14         “Television
station” means any television broadcast station licensed by the FCC and operating
on a channel regularly assigned to its community by Section 73.606 or
73.622 of the FCC Rules.

 

2.0           All
capitalized terms used in this Exclusivity Agreement without definition shall
have the meaning accorded to such terms in the Affiliation Agreement.

 

3.0           UPN
agrees that during the License Term, except as set forth in paragraphs 6.2
and 6.3 of the Affiliation Agreement, UPN shall not license the Network
Programs, or any of them, to any broadcast television station licensed by the
FCC to operate in the Licensed Community, other than the Station.  Licensee acknowledges that telecasts of the
Network

 

B - 1

 

Programs
originating outside of the Licensed Community may be received by television
sets located within the Licensed Community, and Licensee agrees that such
reception shall not constitute a breach of this Exclusivity Agreement by UPN.

 

4.0           Licensee
shall be entitled to exercise, within Station’s Network Exclusivity Zone, the
protection against duplication of network programming in any and all formats
(including digital format), as provided by Sections 76:92 through 76.95 of
the FCC Rules, and Sections 76.120 through 76.124 of the FCC Rules, with
respect to a Network Program during the period beginning one (1) day before and
ending seven (7) days after the day UPN intends for such Network Program to be
generally broadcast by UPN’s affiliates; provided, however, that such right
shall apply only to Network Programs broadcast in the intended time period or
authorized make-good time period; and provided further that nothing herein
shall be deemed to preclude UPN from granting to any other broadcast television
station licensed to any other community similar network non-duplication rights
within that station’s Network Exclusivity Zone, and Licensee’s aforesaid right
of network non-duplication shall not apply with respect to the transmission of
the programs of another UPN affiliate (current or future) by a “community
unit”, or a satellite carrier, as those terms are defined by the FCC Rules,
located (wholly or partially), or serving subscribers, within the area in which
Station’s Network Exclusivity Zone overlaps the Network Exclusivity Zone of
that other UPN affiliate. 
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Exclusivity Agreement,
(a) UPN shall have the right to authorize any television broadcasting
station (whether or not such station is in the Licensed Community) to telecast
any program offered by UPN concerning a subject UPN deems to be of immediate national
significance, including, without limitation, a Presidential address and
(b) with respect to the MGM movies that currently constitute the Saturday
Programming, exclusivity is granted only with respect to the regularly
scheduled period of broadcast of said Saturday Programming.

 

5.0           If
any provision or part thereof of this Exclusivity Agreement is determined to be
invalid by a final decision of any court or government agency, the remaining
provisions or part thereof shall remain in full force and effect.

 

6.0           In
the event that a cable television system, television station or any other
entity or person fails to respect Licensee’s exclusive rights pursuant to this
Exclusivity Agreement and the FCC Rules, or any other applicable agreements,
rules or statutes, Licensee shall promptly notify UPN and Licensee may
institute such actions and proceedings as are provided for by the FCC Rules or
under any statute, law, regulation or at common law in order to enforce its
exclusive rights and recover damages for the violation thereof.  UPN may, but shall not be obligated to, join
Licensee in such actions and proceedings, and may be represented by counsel of
its choice.  If it so elects, or in the
event that Licensee fails to institute any such action or proceeding, UPN may institute
and prosecute any such suit or proceeding in its own name as it may determine
in its sole discretion.  In the event
any damages or monies for the violation of Licensee’s exclusive rights or of
any statute, law or regulation, are recovered in any joint action or
proceeding, the amount so recovered shall be divided between UPN and Licensee
according to their respective damages established in the joint action or
proceeding after first deducting therefrom reasonable expenses and counsel
fees.  In the event that either party
brings an action or proceeding without being joined therein by the other party,
the party bringing the action or proceeding shall pay its own expenses and
counsel fees, and shall retain any amount recovered for its own benefit.

(a)           Optional Incremental
Term Loan Advances.

 

(1)           Incremental Term Loans.  The Borrower may, from time to time and at
any time prior to three years after the date of this Agreement, request one or
more advances of Incremental Loans (each such advance, an “Incremental Term Loan Advance”)
of no more than $100,000,000 in the aggregate for all Incremental Term Loan
Advances on terms and conditions as agreed at such time among the Borrower, the
Lead Arrangers and the parties agreeing to provide the credit.  Each Existing or Additional Incremental Term
Loan Lender that elects to do so severally agrees to make a loan, in dollars.

 

(2)           Conditions to
Incremental Term Loan Advances.   
Any Incremental Term Loan Advance will only become effective if (i) the
Lead Arrangers consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (ii)
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result
therefrom, (iii) at the time of and after giving effect to such increase, the
Borrower is in pro forma
compliance with Sections 5.01(l)-(o) and (iv) existing Lenders or other
financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arrangers commit (in
their absolute and sole discretion) in writing to be Lenders and fund the
Incremental Loan Advance (the “Existing or Additional Incremental Term Loan Lenders”),
it being expressly agreed and understood that no Lender need agree to any such
commitment or extend any additional credit.

 

(B)           The existing Lenders shall have the first right, but no
obligation, to commit all or a portion of any Incremental Term Loan
Advance.  If the existing Lenders do not
commit to provide the full amount of the Incremental Term Loan Advance, the
Borrower may offer the uncommitted amount of the Incremental Term Loan Advance
to other financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arrangers; provided that the minimum commitment of
each such new financial institution equals or exceeds $1.0 million.

 

(C)           The Additional Incremental Term Loan Advance shall be
“Designated Senior Debt” as defined in the Subordinated Note Documents and the
New Subordinated Note Documents and entitled to identical rights thereunder as
are the Obligations immediately prior to the date of incurrence of such
Incremental Term Loan Advance.  The
terms and conditions of any Incremental Term Loan Advance shall be identical to
the Revolving Facility, except that pricing, amortization and prepayments shall
be as agreed at the time among the Lead Arrangers, the Borrower and the
Existing or Additional Incremental Term Loan Lenders, provided that the final maturity for the
Incremental Term Loan Advance is no earlier than Incremental Term Loan Maturity
Date.

 

25

 

(b)           The Revolving Advances.  Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms
and conditions set forth herein, to make one or more advances (each such
advance, a “Revolving
Advance”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving
Facility Period pursuant to this Section 2.01(b); provided that immediately after each Revolving Advance, the
sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Advances for
such Lender and all Letter of Credit Obligations for such Lender does not
exceed at any time such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment. Each Revolving
Facility Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 or
an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and shall consist of
Revolving Advances of the same Type made or Converted on the same day by the
Lenders ratably according to their respective Revolving Facility Commitments.
Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow under this Section
2.01(b), and repay or, to the extent permitted by Section 2.09, prepay
Revolving Advances and reborrow under this Section 2.01(b) at any time until
the end of the Revolving Facility Period.

 

SECTION 2.02.      Method of Borrowing.    The Borrower shall give the Administrative
Agent notice (a “Notice
of Borrowing”) of (i) each Borrowing to be made on the
Availability Date no later than the Domestic Business Day prior to the Availability
Date and (ii) each Borrowing thereafter not later than 10:00 A.M. (New York
City time) on the third Eurodollar Business Day before each Eurodollar Rate
Advance, the third Domestic Business Day before each Adjusted CD Rate Advance

shall be a Domestic Business Day in the case of an Adjusted CD Rate Advance or
a Base Rate Advance or a Eurodollar Business Day in the case of a Eurodollar
Rate Advance,

 

(ii)           the aggregate amount of such
Borrowing,

 

(iii)          [Intentionally Omitted]; and

 

(iv)          in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing,
the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the
provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

 

(b)           Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such
Lender’s share of such Borrowing, if any, and such Notice of Borrowing shall
not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

 

(c)           Not later than Noon (New York City time) on the date of
each Borrowing, each Lender with a Revolving Facility Commitment shall make
available its share of such Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately
available in New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its address
specified in or pursuant to Section 8.02. Unless the Administrative Agent
determines that any applicable condition specified in Article 3 has not been
satisfied, the Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the
Lenders available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid
address.

 

(d)           [Intentionally Omitted.]

 

(e)           Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing,
the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share
available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in
accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative
Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on
such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall
not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender
and the Borrower severally

 

26

 

agree to repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon,
for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until
the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case
of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate
and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.05 and (ii) in
the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to
the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall
constitute such Lender’s Advance included in such Borrowing for purposes of
this Agreement. Nothing herein shall affect any rights that the Borrower may
have against such defaulting Lender.

 

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

 

SECTION 2.03.      Notes. (a) The Revolving Advances of each
Lender shall be evidenced by a Revolving Note payable to the order of such
Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office in an amount equal to
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving Advances.

 

(b)           Upon receipt of each Lender’s Notes from the Borrower
pursuant to Section 3.02, the Administrative Agent shall mail such Notes to
such Lender. Each Lender shall record the date, amount and maturity of each
Advance made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by
the Borrower with respect thereto, and prior to any transfer of its Note shall
endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to
evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Advance then
outstanding; provided that the
failure of any Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement, or any error
in such recordation or endorsement, shall not affect the obligations of the
Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. Each Lender is hereby irrevocably
authorized by the Borrower so to endorse its Note and to attach to and make a
part of its Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

 

SECTION

SECTION 2.05.      Interest Rates.    Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Advance is made until
it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the applicable Base
Rate Margin plus (ii) the Base Rate for such day.   Except as provided in Section 2.05(f), such interest shall be
payable in arrears on each Payment Date and, with respect to the principal
amount of any Base Rate Advance converted to a Fixed Rate Advance, on the date
when such Base Rate Advance is so converted.

 

(b)           Each Adjusted CD Rate Advance shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and after the
Availability Date during the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per

applicable Adjusted CD Rate; provided
that if any Adjusted CD Rate Advance or any portion thereof shall, as a result
of clause (ii)(b)(i) of the definition of “Interest Period,” have an Interest
Period of less than 30 days, such portion shall bear interest during such
Interest Period at the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances during such
period.  Except as otherwise provided in

amount of the Adjusted CD Rate Advance of such CD Reference Bank to which such
Interest Period applies and having a maturity comparable to such Interest
Period.

 

“Domestic Reserve Percentage”
means for any day that percentage (expressed as a decimal) which is in effect
on such day, as prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (or any successor) for determining the maximum reserve requirement
(including without limitation any basic, supplemental or emergency reserves)

any successor provision) to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or any
successor) for such Corporation’s (or such successor’s) insuring time deposits
at offices of such institution in the United States. The Adjusted CD Rate shall

Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after
the first day thereof.

 

The “Adjusted London Interbank Offered
Rate” applicable to any Interest Period means a rate per annum
equal to the quotient obtained (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next
higher 1/100 of 1%) by dividing (i) the applicable London Interbank Offered
Rate by (ii) 1.00 minus the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage.

 

28

 

The “London Interbank Offered Rate”

necessary, to the next higher 1/16 of 1%) of the respective rates per annum at
which deposits in dollars are offered to each of the Eurodollar Reference Banks
in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) two
Eurodollar Business Days before the first day of such Interest Period in an

“Eurodollar Reserve Percentage”
means for any day that percentage (expressed as a decimal) which is in effect
on such day, as prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (or any successor) for determining the maximum reserve requirement for a
member bank of the Federal Reserve System in New York City with deposits

respect of any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by
reference to which the interest rate on Eurodollar Rate Advances is determined
or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by

determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.

 

(e)           Each Reference Bank agrees to use its best efforts to
furnish quotations to the Administrative Agent as contemplated hereby. If any
Reference Bank does not furnish a timely quotation, the Administrative Agent
shall determine the relevant interest rate on the basis of the quotation or
quotations furnished by the remaining Reference Bank or Banks or, if none of
such quotations is available on a timely basis, the provisions of Section 2.16

the Borrower hereby agrees that it shall forthwith, without any demand or
taking of any other action by the Majority Lenders or the Administrative Agent,
pay to the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal
to the difference to be held as security for the Letter

 

30

 

of Credit Obligations for the benefit of all
Lenders pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Agent and the Lenders.

 

SECTION 2.09.      Optional
Prepayments.

the several Lenders.

 

(b)           [Intentionally Omitted].

 

(c)           Notice of Prepayment.  In the case of any optional prepayment or
mandatory repayment pursuant to this Section 2.09, the Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent prior notice, of one Domestic Business Day in the case of
the prepayment of Base Rate Advances and of three Domestic Business Days in the
case of the prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Advances or Adjusted CD Rate
Advances, stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of such
prepayment. Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section
2.09, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the
contents thereof and of such Lender’s ratable share of such prepayment and such
notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

 

SECTION 2.10.      Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank agrees to issue trade or standby
letters of credit hereunder from time to time before the 30th day before the
Revolving Facility Termination Date upon the request of the Borrower (the “Letters of Credit”); provided that, immediately after each
Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit
Obligations shall not exceed the lesser of $5,000,000 and the aggregate amount
of all Revolving Facility Commitments and (ii) the aggregate amount of the
Letter of Credit Obligations plus the aggregate outstanding amount of all
Revolving Advances shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving
Facility Commitments of all Lenders. 
Promptly after issuing or amending a standby Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in
writing, of such issuance or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by
a copy of such issuance or amendment. 
Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender, in writing, of such issuance or amendment and if requested
by any Lender the Administrative Agent shall provide such Lender with copies of
such issuance or amendment.  With
respect to trade Letters of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall on the first
Business Day of each calendar week provide the Administrative Agent, by
facsimile, with a report detailing the daily aggregate outstandings for the
previous week.  All Letters of Credit
will be denominated in U.S. Dollars and will be issued on a sight basis only.

 

(b)           The Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent written notice, in the form of Exhibit K, at least two
Domestic Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing
Bank in any particular instance, prior to the requested issuance of a Letter of
Credit specifying the date such Letter of Credit is to be issued, and
describing the terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the
transactions to be supported thereby (such notice, a “Request for Issuance”);
provided that the Request for
Issuance may be made by facsimile, and the Issuing Bank may act on it without
having received the original signed Request for Issuance. Promptly after
issuing or amending a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in writing, of such issuance or
amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such issuance or
amendment. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender, in writing of such issuance or amendment and if requested
by any Lender the Administrative Agent shall provide

 

31

 

copies of such issuance or amendment. The
issuance by the Issuing Bank of each Letter of Credit shall, in addition to the
conditions precedent set forth in Article 3, be subject to the conditions
precedent that such Letter of Credit shall be in such form and contain such
terms as shall be satisfactory to the Issuing Bank and that the Borrower shall
have executed and delivered such other instruments and agreements relating to
such Letter of Credit as the Issuing Bank shall have reasonably requested. The
extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an issuance
of such Letter of Credit for all purposes of this Agreement. If any Letter of
Credit contains a provision pursuant to which it is deemed to be extended
unless notice of termination is given by the Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank (i)
shall not be required to give such notice of termination unless the Borrower
has timely requested such termination and (ii) may timely give such notice of
termination unless it has theretofore timely received a request from the
Borrower and all other conditions to the issuance of a Letter of Credit have
also theretofore been met with respect to such extension. No standby Letter of
Credit shall have an expiry date of more than one year from date of issuance; provided, however,
that such Letters of Credit may contain a provision pursuant to which the
expiry date is deemed automatically extended for successive periods of up to
one year unless notice of termination is given by the Issuing Bank; and further provided that no standby letter of
credit will have an expiry date which is later than the 10th Domestic Business
Day prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date. No trade Letter of Credit
shall have an expiry date which is later than the earlier of (i) the date which
is 180 days from date of issuance and (ii) the date which is the 30th day prior
to the Revolving Facility Termination Date.

 

(c)           Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit
of any demand, drawing or other presentation for payment under such Letter of
Credit, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
of the amount drawn and the payment date. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and
unconditionally obligated forthwith to reimburse the Issuing Bank on such
payment date for any amounts paid by the Issuing Bank upon any drawing under
any Letter of Credit issued by it, without presentment, demand, protest or
other formalities of any kind. All such amounts paid by the Issuing Bank and
remaining unpaid by the Borrower shall bear interest, payable on demand, for
each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate
that would be applicable to a Revolving Advance bearing interest at the Base
Rate for such day. If for any reason the Borrower shall fail to reimburse the
Issuing Bank in an amount equal to the amount of any drawing, the Issuing Bank
shall notify the Administrative Agent of such failure and the Administrative
Agent shall immediately notify the Lenders of such failure. Upon receipt of
such notice, each Lender with a Revolving Facility Commitment will immediately
pay the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such
Lender’s pro rata share of such unreimbursed drawing together with interest on
such pro rata share for each day from and including the payment date of any drawing
to but not including the date on which Lender makes payment computed at a rate
of interest per annum equal to rate that would be applicable to a Revolving
Advance bearing interest at the Base Rate for such period. The Issuing Bank
will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender with a
Revolving Facility Commitment ratably all amounts received from the Borrower
for application in payment of its reimbursement obligations in respect of any
Letter of Credit, but only to the extent such Lender has made payment to the
Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit pursuant hereto and the
Administrative Agent will promptly distribute such amounts to such Lender in
accordance with Section 2.11.

 

(d)           The obligations of the Borrower and each Lender with a
Revolving Facility Commitment under Section 2.10(c) above shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including
without limitation the following circumstances:

 

(i)      any lack of validity or enforceability of
this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or
thereto;

 

32

 

(ii)     any amendment or waiver of or any consent
to departure from all or any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Letter
of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto;

 

(iii)    the use which may be made of the Letter of
Credit by, or any acts or omission of, a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or
any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting);

 

(iv)    the existence of any claim, set-off, defense
or other rights that the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of
a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting), the
Lenders (including the Issuing Bank) or any other Person, whether in connection
with this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or
thereto or any unrelated transaction;

 

(v)     any statement or any other document
presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect whatsoever;

 

(vi)    payment under a Letter of Credit against
presentation to the Issuing Bank of documents that does not substantially
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; provided that the Issuing Bank’s determination that
documents presented under such Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof
shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct (as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) of the Issuing Bank; or

 

(vii)   any other act or omission to act or delay of
any kind by any Lender (including the Issuing Bank), the Administrative Agent
or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might,
but for the provisions of this subsection (vii), constitute a legal or
equitable discharge of the Borrower’s or the Lender’s obligations hereunder.

 

(e)           The Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless each
Lender (including the Issuing Bank) and the Administrative Agent from and
against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses
which such Lender or the Administrative Agent may incur, and none of the
Lenders (including the Issuing Bank) nor the Administrative Agent nor any of
their Affiliates or their respective officers or directors or employees or
agents shall be liable or responsible therefor, by reason of or in connection
with the execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay
under any Letter of Credit, including without limitation any of the
circumstances enumerated in subsection (d) above, as well as (i) any error,
omission, interruption or delay in transmission or delivery of any messages, by
mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, (ii) any error in interpretation of
technical terms, (iii) any loss or delay in the transmission of any document
required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit or (iv) any
consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank,
including without limitation any government acts, or any other circumstances
whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under such Letter of Credit; provided that the Borrower shall not be
required to indemnify the Issuing Bank for any claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs or expenses, and the Borrower shall have a claim for direct
(but not consequential) damage suffered by it, to the extent found by a court
of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by (x) the willful misconduct or
gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) of the
Issuing Bank in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of
Credit issued by it substantially complied with the terms of such Letter of
Credit or (y) the Issuing Bank’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of
Credit issued by it after the presentation to it of documents strictly
complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. Nothing in
this subsection (e) is intended to limit the obligations of the Borrower under
any other provision of this Agreement

 

SECTION 2.11.      General Provisions as to Payments.  (a) 
The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on,
the Advances, of each Letter of Credit Obligation, and of all

fees, expenses and other amounts payable
hereunder without setoff or counterclaim, not later than Noon (New York City
time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in
New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in
Section 8.02. Payments received by the Administrative Agent on such date but
after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Domestic Business
Day. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its
ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Lenders. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on,
the Base Rate Advances or Adjusted CD Rate Advances or of any Letter of Credit
Obligation or other fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business
Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on,
the Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be due on a day which is not a Eurodollar
Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Eurodollar Business Day unless such Eurodollar Business Day falls in
another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the
next preceding Eurodollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of
principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall
be payable for such extended time.

 

(b)           Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders
hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full
to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such
due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the
extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Lender shall
repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed
to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such
amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such
amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

 

SECTION 2.12.      Funding Losses.  If the Borrower makes any payment (including any prepayment) of
principal with respect to any Fixed Rate Advances (pursuant to this Article 2,
Article 6 or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, or if the Borrower fails to borrow or Convert any
Fixed Rate Advances after notice has been given to any Lender in accordance
with Section 2.02(b) or Section 2.15, as the case may be, the Borrower shall
reimburse each Lender within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or
expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective Participant in the
related Advance), including (without limitation) any loss incurred in
obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding
loss of margin for the period after any such payment or failure to borrow; provided that such Lender shall have
delivered to the Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or
expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error.

 

SECTION 2.13.      Computation of Interest and Fees.  Interest based on the Prime Rate shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and
paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day). All other interest and commitment and letter of credit
fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid
for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding
the last day).

 

SECTION 2.14.      Taxes. (a) For purposes of this Section
2.14, the following terms have the following meanings:

 

“Taxes” means any and
all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings with respect to any payment by the Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement or under any Note, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender
and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its net income, and franchise or
similar taxes imposed

 

34

(as the case may be) is organized or in which its principal executive office is
located or, in the case of each Lender, in which its Applicable Lending Office
is located and (ii) in the case of each Lender, any United States withholding
tax imposed on such payments but only to the extent that such Lender is subject
to United States withholding tax at the time such Lender first becomes a party
to this Agreement.

 

“Other Taxes” means
any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or
property taxes, or similar charges or levies, which arise from any payment made
pursuant to this Agreement or under any Note or from the execution or delivery
of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note.

 

(b)           Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account
of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be
made without deduction for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower shall be required by law to
deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from any such payments, (i)  the sum payable shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) such Lender or
the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower
shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance
with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative
Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified

Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including,
without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.14) paid by such Lender or
the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.
This indemnification shall be paid within 15 days after such Lender or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

 

(d)           Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and
delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature
pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the
case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in
writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able
to do so), shall provide the Borrower with such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that (i)
if such Lender is a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code, such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which
the United States is a party which exempts the Lender from United States
withholding tax or reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest
for the account of such Lender or certifying that the income receivable
pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade
or business in the United States or (ii) if such Lender is not a “bank” within
the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and intends to claim exemption
from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code

versions thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Lender delivers a Form
W-8, a certificate representing that such Lender is not a bank for purposes of

864(d)(4) of the Code)), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender
claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. Federal
withholding tax on payments of interest by the Borrower under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.

 

35

 

(e)           For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed
to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 2.14(d)
(unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring
subsequent to the date on which such form originally was required to be
provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section
2.14(b) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that if a Lender, which is
otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, becomes
subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder,
the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to
assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

 

(f)            If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to
or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14, then such
Lender will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if, in the
judgment of such Lender, such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such
additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is not otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender.

 

SECTION 2.15.      Method of Electing Interest Rates. (a) The
Advances included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type
of rate specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.
Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the
type of interest rate borne by each group of Advances (subject in each case to
the provisions of Sections 2.16 and 2.17), as follows:

 

(i)           if such Advances are Base Rate
Advances, the Borrower may elect to convert such Advances to Fixed Rate
Advances as of any Euro-Dollar Business Day, and

 

(ii)          if such Advances are Fixed Rate
Advances, the Borrower may elect to convert such Advances to Base Rate Advances
or elect to continue such Advances as Fixed Rate Advances for an additional
Interest Period, subject to Section 2.12 in the case of any such conversion or
continuation effective on any day other than the last day of the then current
Interest Period applicable to such Advances.

 

Each such election shall be
made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate Election”) to the Administrative
Agent not later than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Eurodollar
Business Day before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is
to be effective. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies,
apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant group
of Advances; provided that (i)
such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such group and
(ii) the portion to which such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to
which it does not apply, are each $10,000,000, or, any larger multiple of
$500,000.

 

(b)           Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

 

(i)            the group of Advances (or portion thereof) to which such
notice applies;

 

(ii)           the date on which the conversion or continuation
selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the
applicable clause of subsection (a) above;

 

(iii)          if the Advances comprising such group
are to be converted, the new Type of Advances and, if the Advances being
converted are to be Fixed Rate Advances, the duration of the next succeeding
Interest Period applicable thereto; and

 

(iv)          if such Advances are to be continued
as the same Type of Fixed Rate Advances for an additional Interest Period, the
duration of such additional Interest Period.

 

36

 

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of
Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of
Interest Period.

 

(c)           Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from
the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and such notice shall not
thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

 

(d)           If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any
Interest Period for any Fixed Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions
of Section 2.15(a) or if at the end of any such Interest Period an Event of
Default exists and the Administrative Agent has been directed to do so by the
Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the
Borrower and the Lenders and such Advances will automatically, on the last day
of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Base Rate Advances.

 

(e)           [Intentionally Omitted].

 

(f)            If the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Revolving
Advances comprising any Borrowing or Borrowings shall be reduced, by payment or
prepayment or otherwise, to less than $500,000, such Revolving Advances shall,
if they are Fixed Rate Advances, automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances
on the last day of the Interest Period for such Fixed Rate Advances, and on and
after such date the right of the Borrower to Convert such Advances into
Revolving Advances of a Type other than Base Rate Advances shall terminate; provided that if and so long as each such
Revolving Advance shall be of the same Type and have the same Interest Period
as any other Revolving Advances comprising another Borrowing and other
Borrowings, and the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all such Revolving
Advances shall equal or exceed $500,000, the Borrower shall have the right to
continue all such Revolving Advances as, and to Convert all such Revolving
Advances into, Revolving Advances of such Type having such Interest Period.

 

SECTION 2.16.      Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or
Unfair.  If on or prior to
the first day of any Interest Period for any Fixed Rate Borrowing:

 

(a)           the Administrative Agent is advised
by the Reference Banks that deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are
not being offered to the Reference Banks in the relevant market for such
Interest Period, or

 

(b)           any Lender advises the Administrative
Agent that the Adjusted CD Rate or the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate,
as the case may be, as determined by the Administrative Agent will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding its Adjusted
CD Rate Advance or Eurodollar Rate Advance, as the case may be, for such
Interest Period,

 

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give
notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise
to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Lenders to make
Adjusted CD Rate Advances or Eurodollar Rate Advances, as the case may be,
shall be suspended. Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at
least two Domestic Business Days before the date of any Fixed Rate Borrowing
for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to
borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be a Base Rate Advance
Borrowing.

 

SECTION 2.17.      Illegality.  If, on or after the
date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation,
or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency
charged with the

 

37

 

interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by any Lender (or its Eurodollar Lending Office) with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority,
central bank or comparable agency (including the NAIC) shall make it unlawful
or impossible for any Lender (or its Eurodollar Lending Office) to make,
maintain or fund its Eurodollar Advances and such Lender shall so notify the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice
thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon until such Lender
notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances
giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender
to make Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Lender shall designate a
different Eurodollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for
giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender. If such Lender shall determine that it may not
lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Eurodollar
Advances to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, (i) the obligation of
such Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Advances and to Convert Advances into
Eurodollar Rate Advances shall terminate and (ii) the Borrower shall forthwith
prepay in full all Eurodollar Rate Advances of such Lender then outstanding,
together with accrued interest thereon, unless the Borrower, within five Domestic
Business Days of such notice and demand, Converts all Eurodollar Rate Advances
of all Lenders then outstanding into Base Rate Advances in accordance with
Section 2.15(a), except that such Conversion may occur, notwithstanding Section
2.15(a), other than on the last day of the respective Interest Periods for such
Eurodollar Rate Advances, if the Borrower has paid any amounts payable under
Section 2.12.

 

SECTION 2.18.      Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If
on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or
regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or
comparable agency (including the NAIC) charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending
Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (including the NAIC)
shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without
limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, but excluding i() with respect to any Adjusted CD Rate
Advance any such requirement included in an applicable Domestic Reserve
Percentage and (ii) with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance any such
requirement included in an applicable Eurodollar Reserve Percentage), special
deposit, insurance assessment (excluding, with respect to any Adjusted CD Rate
Advance, any such requirement reflected in an applicable Assessment Rate) or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended by, any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall
impose on any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the United States
market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other
condition affecting its Fixed Rate Advances, its Note or its obligation to make
Fixed Rate Advances and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining
any Fixed Rate Advance, or of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or
its obligations with respect thereto as the Issuing Bank or as a Lender
participating therein, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this
Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such
Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender on an after-tax
basis for such increased cost or reduction.

 

(b)           If any Lender shall have determined that, after the date
hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding
capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency (including the NAIC) charged with
the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of

 

38

 

any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency (including the NAIC), has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender (or its Parent) as a
consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which
such Lender (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change,
request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to
capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from
time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or its Parent) on an
after-tax basis for such reduction.

 

(c)           Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after
the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to
this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such
designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation
and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to
such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this
Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it
hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining
such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

 

SECTION 2.19.      Base Rate Advances Substituted for Affected Fixed
Rate Advances.  If (i) the
obligation of any Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Advances had been suspended
pursuant to Section 2.17 or (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under
Section 2.14 or 2.18(a) and the Borrower shall, by at least five Eurodollar
Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent,
have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Lender,
then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer apply:

 

(a)           all Advances which would otherwise be
made by such Lender as Adjusted CD Rate Advances or Eurodollar Rate Advances,
as the case may be, shall be made instead as Base Rate Advances (on which
interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the payment of
interest and principal on the related Fixed Rate Advances of the other
Lenders), and

 

(b)           after each of its Adjusted CD Rate
Advances or Eurodollar Rate Advances, as the case may be, has been repaid, all
payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Fixed Rate
Advances shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Advances instead.

 

SECTION 2.20.      Use of Proceeds.  The Borrower will use the proceeds of Revolving Facility Advances
for working capital needs, Capital Expenditures and general corporate purposes
of the Borrower and the Guarantors; provided
that for this purpose, “general corporate purposes” includes Restricted
Payments to the extent permitted by clause (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section
5.02(g) and Permitted Acquisitions. 
None of the proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the
purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying any
“margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation T or Regulation U, other than
proceeds of Advances used to purchase shares of common stock of the Borrower to
the extent permitted by Section 5.02(g).

such Borrowing or Letter of Credit issuance, and to the application of the
proceeds therefrom, as though made on and as of such date;

 

(d)           no event shall have occurred and be
continuing, or would result from such Borrowing or Letter of Credit issuance,

business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, properties or
prospects of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Except as disclosed on
Schedule 4.01(i) of this Agreement, there are no material Liens on any property
or asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries except for the security

any Lien securing an obligation of $300,000 or more on property or assets is

(j)            No
Burdensome Agreements. 
Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any
indenture, loan or credit agreement or any lease or other agreement or

and paid all amounts of
taxes, including interest and penalties, which have become due pursuant to such
returns or pursuant to any assessments received by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, except to the extent of any taxes being contested by or on behalf
of the Borrower or such Subsidiary in good faith and by proper proceedings and
for which adequate provision for payment has been made and adequate reserves
are being maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied by the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case
may be, and so long as the proceedings referred to above could not subject any
Agent or any Lender to any civil or criminal penalty or liability or involve
any risk of loss, sale or forfeiture of any material item of Collateral. The
Borrower has no knowledge of any actual or proposed additional tax assessments
against it or any of its Subsidiaries which, singly or in the aggregate, could
have a material adverse effect on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(l)            Accuracy
of Information Given to Lenders. 
No information, exhibit, report, document, certificate or written
statement, including without limitation this Agreement, furnished in writing to
any Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection herewith contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the
circumstances under which such information, exhibit, report or other written
information was or is to be used, not misleading, nor do such information,
exhibits, reports, documents, certificates and statements, taken as a whole,
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not
misleading. There is no fact known to the Borrower or any officer of the
Borrower which the Borrower has not disclosed to the Lenders in writing which
in the reasonable judgment of the Borrower and its officers would materially
adversely affect the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations,
properties or prospects of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the
ability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to perform its respective
obligations under any Loan Document or any document contemplated hereby or
thereby. The financial projections and forecasts of the Borrower delivered by
the Borrower to any of the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders were
prepared on the basis of the assumptions stated therein and represented, at the
time of delivery, the Borrower’s best estimate of its future financial
performance and such assumptions were fair in the light of business conditions
existing at the time of such delivery of such projections and forecasts; and
any such financial projections and forecasts, if prepared as of the date
hereof, would contain estimates of the Borrower’s future financial performance
which would not materially adversely differ from the respective estimates
contained in the financial projections and forecasts delivered by the Borrower
to any of the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders.

has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Plan and
(ii) no event requiring notice to the PBGC under Section 302(f)(4)(A) of ERISA
has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Plan.  With respect to each Multiemployer Plan
described in Schedule 4.01(m) and any other Multiemployer Plan which shall
exist: (i) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate of the Borrower has incurred,
or is reasonably expected to incur, any Withdrawal Liability to any
Multiemployer Plan and (ii) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate of the
Borrower has received any notification that any Multiemployer Plan is in
reorganization or has been terminated, within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA,
and no Multiemployer Plan is reasonably expected to be in reorganization or to

used to purchase shares of common stock of the Borrower to the extent permitted
by clauses (iv) or (v) of Section 5.02(g) hereof, will be used to purchase or
carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any margin stock; none of the Pledged Stock constitutes
margin stock.

 

(p)           Prohibited
Securities Transactions.  No
proceeds of any Advance will be used by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
to acquire any security in any transaction that is subject to Section 12 of the

required in connection with the Financing Transactions and the Loan Documents
(other than the Collateral Documents) (including, but not limited to, consents
relating to all network affiliation contracts, power site leases and FCC
matters), all of which will have been duly obtained and shall be in full force
and effect on the Effective Date and at all times thereafter, except where the
failure to obtain such consents will not have a material adverse effect, alone
or in the aggregate, on the business, condition (financial or otherwise),
operations, properties or prospects of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(v)           Security
Agreements.  As of the

all third parties, and securing the payment of all obligations purported to be
secured thereby, and all filings and other actions necessary or desirable to

which the Borrower has, directly or indirectly, transported or arranged for the
transportation of any material is listed or, to the Borrower’s knowledge,
proposed for listing on the National Priorities List promulgated pursuant to
CERCLA, on CERCLIS (as defined in CERCLA) or on any similar federal, state or
foreign list of sites requiring investigation or cleanup, nor, to the knowledge
of the Borrower, is any such property anticipated or threatened to be placed on
any such list.

such authorization, including, but not limited to, performing and observing
(except as otherwise provided by law) each term and provision of each network
affiliation agreement to which it is a party and maintaining each such
agreement in full force and effect, it being understood that failure to
maintain any such network affiliation agreement in full force and effect shall
be deemed to result in such a material adverse effect, such material adverse
effect being deemed to occur at such time as programming ceases to be provided
pursuant to such network affiliation agreement, provided that such material adverse effect shall not be
deemed to occur if, prior to the time that such programming ceases, the
Borrower or such Subsidiary shall have entered into a network affiliation
agreement with another network which agreement and network are reasonably satisfactory
to the Majority Lenders.

 

(i)            Arm’s-Length
Transactions.  Conduct, and
cause each of its Subsidiaries to conduct, all transactions otherwise permitted
under the Loan Documents with any of its Affiliates on terms that are fair and

commission agent or the like on behalf of the Borrower or any of its

connection with the transaction referred to in clause (x) above, the conversion
of certain intercompany indebtedness of YB Nashville and/or WKRN Partnership
into equity, provided, however,
that each of YB Knoxville and such newly formed limited liability company are,
or shall become, Loan Parties and YB Nashville shall remain a Loan Party so
long as it is in existence.

then, and in any such event, the
Administrative Agent (i) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the
Majority Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the obligation of each
Lender to make Advances and the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters
of Credit to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and
(ii) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Majority Lenders, by
notice to the Borrower, declare the Notes, all interest thereon, all Letter of
Credit Obligations, all Letter of Credit Fees and all other amounts payable

interest thereon, all Letter of Credit Obligations, all Letter of Credit Fees
and all such other amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable,
without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of
which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, provided that in the event of the acceleration of the
maturity of any Permitted Subordinated Debt or the commencement of any
voluntary proceeding or the taking of any corporate action referred to in
subsection (f) above, or the actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with

Revolving Facility Commitments (or, if the Revolving Facility Commitments shall
have been terminated, holding at least 50% of the Letter of Credit Obligations),
pay to the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal
to the aggregate amount available for drawing under all Letters of Credit then
outstanding at such time, and such funds shall be held as collateral pursuant
to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that, upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default specified in clause (f) of Section 6.01 with respect to the
Borrower, the Borrower shall pay such amount forthwith without any notice or
demand or any other act by the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

THE AGENTS

Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers
under this Agreement, the Notes and the Collateral Documents as are delegated
to such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto.

 

SECTION 7.02.      Agents and Affiliates.  Each Agent shall have the same rights and powers
under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from
exercising the same as though it were not an Agent. Each Agent and each of
their respective affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, acquire
equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of business with the
Borrower or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not an
Agent hereunder.

 

SECTION 7.03.      Actions by Agents.  The obligations of the Agents hereunder are
only those expressly set forth herein and neither the Agents nor the Lead
Arrangers shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any
Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist
with respect to the Agents or the Lead Arrangers. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, no Agent shall be required to take any action with
respect to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article 6 or Section
7.10.

 

SECTION 7.04.      Consultation with Experts.  Each of the Agents may consult with legal
counsel (who may be internal counsel or counsel for the Borrower), independent
public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

SECTION 7.05.      Liability of Agents.  No Agent or any of such Agent’s affiliates
nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents, or employees shall be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders or (ii) in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent nor any of their
respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or
have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty
or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any borrowing
hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or
agreements of the Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified
in Article 3, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of
this Agreement, the Notes or any other instrument or writing furnished in
connection herewith. No Agent shall incur any liability by acting in reliance
upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may
be a bank wire, telex or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be
signed by the proper party or parties.

 

72

 

SECTION 7.06.      Indemnification.  Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Lender Share,
indemnify each of the Agents and the Issuing Bank, their respective affiliates
and the directors, officers, agents and employees of each of the Agents and the
Issuing Bank or of their respective affiliates (each an “Indemnitee”) (to the
extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including
reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or
liability (except such as result from the Indemnitee’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct) that the Indemnitee may suffer or incur in connection with
this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Indemnitee hereunder. The
provisions of this Section 7.06 shall survive any termination of this
Agreement.

 

SECTION 7.07.      Credit Decision.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon any Agent, any Lead Arranger, any Agent’s affiliate, any Lead
Arranger’s affiliate, any other Lender or any of their respective directors,
officers, agents or employees, 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, any Lead Arranger, any Agent’s affiliate,
any Lead Arranger’s affiliate, any other Lender or any of their respective
directors, officers, agents or employees, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.

 

SECTION 7.08.      Successor Agent.  Any Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof
to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority
Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor to such Agent. If no such
successor for such Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders,
and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender organized or
licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof
and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor Agent in the
same capacity, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any
retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while
it was an Agent.

 

SECTION 7.09.      [Intentionally Omitted].

 

SECTION 7.10.      Notice of Default; Collateral Documents.    (a) 
The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice
of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the
Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower or any
Guarantor referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. If the
Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall give prompt notice
thereof to each of the Lenders.

 

(b)           Subject to Section 8.01, as to any matters not expressly
provided for in the Collateral Documents (including the timing and methods of
realization upon any Collateral), the Collateral Agent shall act or refrain
from acting in accordance with written instructions from the Majority Lenders
or, in the absence of such instructions, in accordance with its discretion, provided that the Collateral Agent shall
not be obligated to take any action if the Collateral Agent believes that such
action is or may be contrary to any applicable law or might cause the
Collateral Agent to incur any loss or liability for which it has not been
indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction.

 

(c)           The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the
existence, genuineness or value of any Collateral or for the validity,
perfection, priority or enforce ability of the security interests in

 

73

 

any Collateral, whether impaired by operation
of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part under any
Collateral Document. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or
inquire as to the performance or observance of any terms of any Collateral
Document by any Person.

authorized, subject to the provisions of Section 8.05(b), at any time and from
time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law (without penalty, sanction
or loss of collateral), to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness
at any time owing to such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or
hereafter existing under any Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such
Lender shall have made any demand under such Loan Document and although such
obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the
Borrower after such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that such failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The
rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such
Lender may have. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right
of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the
aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Note held by
it and Letter of Credit Obligations owed to it which is greater than the
proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of
principal and interest due with respect to any Note held by such other Lender
and the Letter of Credit Obligations owed to such other Lender, such
adjustments shall be made as may be required so that all such payments of
principal and interest with respect to the Notes held by the Lenders and Letter
of Credit Obligations owed to all Lenders shall be shared by the Lenders pro
rata.

 

(b)           The Lenders agree among themselves that, except upon the
written consent of the Majority Lenders, no Lender shall, with respect to any
Note or other obligation under any Loan Document, exercise any right described
in Section 8.05(a). If a Lender breaches its obligation under the foregoing
sentence, then such Lender shall be deemed to have waived any right to the
benefits of the Collateral Documents, as against any other Lender. Each Lender
waives all rights to enforce any rights under this Agreement, under the Notes
or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the
Majority Lenders. Each Lender further agrees that all rights under the
Collateral Documents shall be exercised only through the Administrative Agent.

 

SECTION 8.06.      BINDING EFFECT; GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE WHEN
IT SHALL HAVE BEEN EXECUTED BY THE BORROWER, EACH GUARANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT AND THE SYNDICATION AGENT AND WHEN THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL HAVE
BEEN NOTIFIED BY EACH BANK THAT SUCH BANK HAS EXECUTED IT (WHICH NOTIFICATION
MAY BE IN THE FORM OF DELIVERY OF AN EXECUTED SIGNATURE PAGE TO THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT BY FACSIMILE TRANSMISSION) AND THEREAFTER SHALL BE BINDING
UPON AND INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE
SYNDICATION AGENT AND EACH LENDER AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS,
EXCEPT THAT THE BORROWER SHALL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSIGN ITS RIGHTS
HEREUNDER OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL
LENDERS.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK.

 

SECTION 8.07.      Successors and Assigns.  (a) 
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns,

 

77

 

except that the Borrower may not assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of all Lenders.

 

(b)           Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more commercial
banks, mutual funds, financial institutions or other “accredited investors” (as
defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) (each a “Participant”)
participating interests in its Term Loan A Commitment, Revolving Facility
Commitment or any or all of its Advances. In the event of any such grant by a
Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not any notice
thereof is given to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall
remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender
may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall
retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the
Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, provided that such participation agreement
may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or
waiver of this Agreement described in clause (w) of the second proviso or
clause (w) of the third proviso or clause (1) of the fourth proviso to Section
8.01(a) (unless the participant’s share of such Lender’s Revolving Facility
Commitment would not be increased and any additional obligations imposed on the
Lenders would not be imposed upon the participant) or in clause (v), (x), (y)
or (z) of the second proviso or clause (x), (y) or (z) of the third proviso or
clause (2) or (3) of the fourth proviso of Section 8.01(a) without the consent
of the Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the
extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.10(e), 2.12, 2.14, 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 and 8.04 with respect to
its participating interest. An assignment or other transfer which is not
permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of
this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance
with this subsection (b).

 

(c)           Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
commercial banks, mutual funds, financial institutions or other “accredited
investors” (as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended) (each an “Assignee”)
(treating any fund that invests in bank loans and any other fund that is
managed by the same investment advisor of such fund or an Affiliate of such
investment advisor as single Assignee) all or any part (equivalent, except when
the Assignee is either an Affiliate of such transferor Lender, already a Lender
or a fund managed by the same investment advisor (or an Affiliate of such
investment advisor) as an existing Lender prior to such assignment, to at least
$2,500,000) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such
Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations in respect of its Revolving
Facility Commitment and all of its outstanding Revolving Advances, all of its
outstanding Letters of Credit and all of its outstanding Letter of Credit
Obligations.  When all of the following
conditions shall have been satisfied, such Assignee shall be a Lender party to
this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a
Revolving Facility Commitment and/or Revolving Advances, as the case may be, as
set forth in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the transferor
Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding
extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required:

 

(w)          delivery of an Assignment and
Assumption Agreement executed by such Assignee and such transferor Lender, with
the subscribed consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, which
consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that (i) if the Assignee is an
Affiliate of such transferor Lender, a fund managed by the same investment
advisor (or an Affiliate of such investment advisor) as an existing Lender or
was a Lender immediately prior to such assignment, no such consents shall be required
and (ii) if such assignment is made while any Default is continuing or during
the first 30 days following the Effective Date

 

78

 

only in connection with the
syndication of the Revolving Facility Commitments hereunder, the consent of the
Borrower shall not be required;

 

(x)            except in the case of the
assignments pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, payment by
such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price
agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee (or, in the case of the
assignment of Swingline Advances, payment of the purchase price as set forth in
Section 2.01(d));

 

(y)           payment to the Administrative Agent
of a non-refundable administrative fee for processing such assignment in the
amount of $1,000 if the Assignee was either a Lender or a fund managed by the
same investment advisor (or an Affiliate of such investment advisor) as an
existing Lender immediately prior to such assignment, or $3,500 otherwise; and

 

(z)            recordation of such assignment in
the Register.

 

If the Assignee is not incorporated under the
laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall deliver to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in
accordance with Section 2.14.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this
Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including,
without limitation, the Notes held by it) to any Federal Reserve Bank without
notice to or consent of Borrower or Agent and any Lender which is a fund may
pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents (including, without limitation, the Notes held by it) to any holders
of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such fund as security for such
obligations or securities, or to any trustee for, or any other representative
of such holders, provided that
any foreclosure or other exercise of remedies by such holder or trustee shall
be subject to the provisions of this Section 8 regarding assignments in all
respects.  No such pledge or assignment
shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

 

(e)           Subject to the provisions of this subsection (e), any
Lender may at any time designate an SPC to provide all or a portion of the
Advances to be made by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement; provided that such designation shall not
be effective unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent consent thereto
in writing (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld).  When a Lender and its SPC shall have signed
a designation agreement acceptable in form and substance to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have signed their
respective consents thereto, such SPC shall become a Designated Lender for
purposes of this Agreement.  The
Designating Lender shall thereafter have the right to permit such Designated
Lender to provide all or a portion of the Advances to be made by such
Designating Lender pursuant to this Agreement, and the making of such Advances
or portion thereof shall satisfy the obligation of the Designating Lender to
the same extent, and as if, such Advances or portion thereof were made by the
Designating Lender.  As to any Advances
or portion thereof made by it, each Designated Lender shall have all the rights
that a Lender making such Advances or portion thereof would have had under this
Agreement and otherwise; provided
that (x) its voting rights under this Agreement shall be exercised solely by
its Designating Lender and (y) its Designating Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such Designated
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement, including its obligations in respect
of the Advances or portion thereof made by it. 
Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) no SPC shall be liable for any
indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender
would otherwise be liable and (ii) no SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.16 and 2.18 (or any other increased costs protection provision).  No additional Note shall be required to
evidence the Advances or portion

 

79

 

thereof made by a Designated Lender; and the
Designating Lender shall be deemed to hold its Note as agent for its Designated
Lender to the extent of the Advances or portion thereof funded by such
Designated Lender.  Each Designating
Lender shall act as administrative agent for its Designated Lender and give and
receive notices and other communications on its behalf.  Any payments for the account of any
Designated Lender shall be paid to its Designating Lender as administrative
agent for such Designated Lender and neither the Borrower nor the
Administrative Agent shall be responsible for any Designating Lender’s
application of such payments.  In addition,
any Designated Lender may, with notice to (but without the prior written
consent of) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (i) assign all or
portions of its interest in any Advances to its Designating Lender and (ii)
disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its
Advances or portions thereof to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or
provider of any guarantee, surety, credit or liquidity enhancement to such
Designated Lender.  This clause (e) of
Section 8.07 may not be amended without the prior written consent of each
Designating Lender, all or any part of whose Advances are being funded by an
SPC at the time of such amendment.  For
the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the Agents, the other Lenders and the
Borrower, the Designating Lender shall for all purposes, including, without
limitation, the approval of any amendment or waiver of any provision of any
Loan Document or the obligation to pay any amount otherwise payable by the
Designating Lender under the Loan Documents, be the Lender of record hereunder.

 

(f)            The Administrative Agent, acting, for this purpose only,
as agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section
8.02 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to and
accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of
the Lenders and the Revolving Facility Commitment of, and principal amount of
the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  All assignments shall be effective only upon
recordation in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(g)           Upon its receipt of a completed Assignment and Assumption
Agreement that has been executed and consented to in accordance with Section
8.07(c), together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the
Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption Agreement,
(ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give
prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. Except in the case of assignments
pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, within five Domestic
Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own
expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for
the surrendered Note or Notes, appropriate new Note or Notes, to the order of
such Assignee and, if the assigning Lender has retained any Revolving Facility
Commitment or any Advances, appropriate new Note or Notes to the order of the
assigning Lender. Except in the case of the assignments pursuant to the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement, such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered
Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and
Assumption Agreement and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of
Exhibit A-1.

 

(h)           Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section
8.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender
by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided
that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed
assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any
confidential information relating to the Borrower received by it from such
Lender.

 

80

 

SECTION 8.08.      Headings. 
Article and Section headings in this Agreement are included for
convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement
for any other purpose.

 

SECTION 8.09.      Execution in Counterparts; Integration.  This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and
supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

SECTION 8.10.      Severability of Provisions.  Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforce ability of
such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

SECTION 8.11.      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.   EACH OF THE BORROWER, EACH OF THE
SYNDICATION AGENTS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK AND THE LENDERS
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING
OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.

 

SECTION 8.12.      Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of
Process.  The Borrower hereby
submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting
in New York City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The
Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any
such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding
brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the
parties hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 8.02 (except that process may not be served by
telecopy). Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this
Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

SECTION 8.13.      Consent to Amendment.  Each Lender hereby consents to, and hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, the Collateral
Documents, the Guaranty Agreement and the Mortgage Amendments.

 

SECTION 8.14.      Survival. 
The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 2.10(e), 2.12, 2.14, 2.18
and 8.04 hereof and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 7.06 hereof
shall survive the repayment of the Advances and the Letter of Credit
Obligations and the termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments and the
Letters of Credit.
