advertising agencies or other third parties reasonably regarded by Publicis as Publicis’
competitors, and not to work directly with Publicis’ clients without Publicis’ prior written
approval.

Executive Officer of Publicis.
	 
	5.	 	INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR 
	 
	 	 	Consultant is an independent contractor of Publicis. Under no circumstances shall Consultant
be considered an agent or employee of Publicis.
	 
	6.	 	RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS 
	 
	 	 	During the Term of this Agreement, Consultant covenants and agrees that he will not:

	 	(a)	 	directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be employed by or be connected
with the ownership, management, operation or control of:
	 
	 	 	 	(i) any advertising agency (or holding company or subsidiary thereof); other than Publicis;
	 
	 	 	 	(ii) any client of Publicis or of Publicis’ subsidiaries or affiliates; or
	 
	 	 	 	(iii) any company other entity selling products that compete with products of clients of
Publicis or of Publicis’ subsidiaries or affiliates;

2

 

 

	 	 	 	unless the Chief Executive Officer of Publicis shall have given prior written consent upon
such terms as he shall deem appropriate.
	 
	 	(b)	 	directly or indirectly, for Consultant’s own benefit of for the benefit of any other
person, firm or corporation:
	 
	 	 	 	(i) solicit, for the purposes of employment, either any employee of Publicis or its
subsidiaries or affiliates or any employee of any client of Publicis or Publicis’
subsidiaries or affiliates;
	 
	 	 	 	(ii) induce either any employee of Publicis of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any
employee of any client of Publicis or Publicis’ subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate such
employment for purposes of becoming employed elsewhere;
	 
	 	 	 	(iii) interfere with the relationship either between Publicis or its subsidiaries or

affiliates and its employees; or
	 
	 	 	 	(iv) otherwise hire or induce others to hire either any employee of Publicis or its
subsidiaries or affiliates or any client of Publicis or its subsidiaries or affiliates;
	 
	 	 	 	unless the Chief Executive Officer of Publicis shall have given prior written consent upon
such terms as he shall deem appropriate.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The precise value of the covenants contained in this Section 6 is so difficult to
evaluate that no accurate measure of monetary damages could possibly be established and, in
the event of a breach of threatened breach of such covenants, Publicis’ remedy at law would
be inadequate and Publicis shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief
restraining Consultant from such breach or threatened breach. In the event that any
covenant made in this Section 6 shall be more restrictive than permitted by applicable law,
it shall be limited to the extent which is so permitted. Nothing in this subsection (c)
shall be construed as preventing Publicis from pursuing any and all other remedies
available to it for breach or threatened breach of covenants made in this Section 6,
including the recovery or money damages from Consultant.

	7.	 	CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
	 
	 	 	“Confidential Information” shall mean all information disclosed to Consultant or to
which Consultant is exposed which relates to Publicis’ past, present or future business plans,
activities, ad campaigns and all other information, or that of Publicis’ clients. Consultant
shall hold all such Confidential Information in trust and confidence for Publicis, and agrees
that he will not, during or after the termination of this Agreement, disclose to any person,
firm, or corporation, nor use for his own benefit, any information or knowledge obtained or
generated by it during the performance of this Agreement.

before disclosure under this Agreement; (ii) is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful
act of Consultant; (iii) is independently developed by Consultant; (iv) is disclosed to
Consultant by a third party without breach of any obligations of confidentiality; or (v) is
disclosed pursuant to court order, duly authorized subpoena or governmental authority.
	 
	8.	 	REMEDIES
	 
	 	 	Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold Publicis harmless from and against any and all
claims arising out of or relating to Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, including
but not limited to the following events:

	 	(a)	 	Any material breach of any term of this Agreement; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	The unauthorized dissemination of Publicis’ confidential information.

	 	 	The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
	 
	9.	 	 RECORDS
	 
	 	 	Consultant agrees to keep full and proper records and accounts of all work done in connection
with this Agreement and expenditures made in connection herewith, including the underlying
documentation of such expenditures, for a period of not less than two (2) years after the close
of the calendar year in which the transaction takes place, or such longer period as Publicis may
reasonably require. Publicis or its designated representative shall be entitled to have such
records and accounts examined and copies made during reasonable business hours and with prior
notice through Publicis’ independent auditing firm.
	 
	10.	 	SOLE AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENTS

1993, which remains in full force and effect.
	 
	11.	 	ASSIGNMENT
	 
	 	 	Consultant shall not assign this Agreement or any part of the Agreement without the written
consent of Publicis. In the event of such agreed assignment, Consultant shall continue to be

            Section 1. AMENDMENTS TO RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT. The Restated
Credit Agreement is hereby amended effective as of the date referred to in
Section 4 by:

            (a) deleting the definition of "Excess Subject Payments" set forth
therein and replacing it with the following:

            ""Excess Subject Payment Amount" means, for any Fiscal Quarter, the
            amount by which the amount of Subject Payments in such Fiscal
            Quarter exceeded the sum of (x) $11,875,000 plus (y) the amount of
            pro rata dividends paid on shares of Class A Common Stock of
            Holdings reserved for issuance on the Restatement Effective Date
            under Holdings' 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan."

            (b) deleting the definition of "Term D Commitment" set forth therein

      to time pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. The initial amount
      of the Term D Commitment of any Term C Lender which has consented to the
      amendment and restatement of the Restated Credit Agreement to occur on the
      Restatement Effective Date shall be equal to the principal amount of Term
      C Loans held by such Term C Lender on the Restatement Effective Date

            Lender Addendum, to provide a greater Term D Commitment, in which
            case such Term C Lender's Term D Commitment shall include any
            incremental amount set forth in such Lender Addendum) and the
            initial amount of each other Person with a Term D Commitment shall
            be the amount set forth in such Person's Lender Addendum. The

            (c) deleting each reference to "June 30, 2005" in Section 4.01 of
the Restated Credit Agreement and in Section 2 of the Consent and replacing each
such reference with "September 30, 2005".

            Section 2. AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT. The Credit Agreement is

in the definition of "Consolidated EBITDA":

            "; provided, further, that Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased by
      an amount equal to all costs and expenses of the Loan Parties in
      connection with the proposed initial public offering of the common stock
      of Consolidated Communications Holdings, Inc. (as set forth in reasonable
      detail in any Compliance Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent
      pursuant to this Agreement) to the extent such costs and expenses would
      have otherwise reduced Consolidated EBITDA but for the operation of this
      proviso";

            (b) (i) deleting the word "and" appearing at the end of Section
6.07(x), (ii) replacing the period appearing at the end of Section 6.07(xi) with
the phrase "; and" and (iii) adding the following provision directly following

            "(xii) unless a Default shall have occurred and is continuing or
      would result therefrom, the CCI Borrower and TXU Borrower may declare and
      pay cash dividends from available cash on hand to CCI Illinois Holdings
      and CCI Texas Holdings, respectively, in an aggregate amount not to exceed
      $37.5 million on or before September 30, 2005, and CCI Illinois Holdings
      and CCI Texas Holdings may declare and pay (from the proceeds of such
      dividends) cash dividends to Homebase in an aggregate amount not to exceed
      $37.5 million on or before June 30, 2005."; and

            (c) deleting Section 5.11(b) in its entirety and any reference in
the Credit Agreement to any obligation or requirement that Homebase or the Loan
Parties seek the consent of ICC for the guarantee of the Obligations and a grant
of a security interest in the Equity Interests and assets of ICTC.

            Section 3. WAIVER OF EXCESS CASH FLOW SWEEP FOR 2004 UNDER CREDIT
AGREEMENT. The requirement in the Credit Agreement that a prepayment of Loans be
made with 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the Excess Cash Flow Period ended December
31, 2004 pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(v) of the Credit Agreement is hereby waived
in its entirety (it being understood
<PAGE>
                                      -4-

that no modification of any required prepayment for any subsequent Excess Cash
Flow Period is granted hereby).

            Section 4. EFFECTIVENESS. This Amendment will become effective upon
the first date on which the Administrative Agent shall have received (i)
executed signature pages hereto from the Requisite Lenders under the Credit
Agreement and the Requisite Lenders under the Restated Credit Agreement and each

(but, for the avoidance of doubt, not under the Restated Credit Agreement) for
further distribution to the consenting Lenders holding such Term A Loans, Term C
Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments under the Credit Agreement.

            Section 5. COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original,
but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single instrument.

facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart hereof.

            Section 6. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

            Section 7. HEADINGS. The headings of this Amendment are for purposes
of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

            Section 8. EFFECT OF AMENDMENT. Except as expressly set forth
herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair,
constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the
Lenders or the Agents under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and

Agreement or any other provision of such agreement or any other Loan Document,
