          WHEREAS the Lenders have agreed to extend credit to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement on

regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

     (b) The representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in Loan
Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Amendment

     (c) As of the Amendment Effective Date, after giving effect to the amendment and
restatement contemplated by Section 3, no Default will have occurred and be continuing.

          SECTION 5. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date (the

satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received satisfactory opinions of counsel of the
Borrower in connection therewith.

          SECTION 6. Expenses. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for

          SECTION 7. Credit Agreement. 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 Administrative Agent under, the Credit Agreement, and
shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations,
covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement, all of which are ratified and affirmed

different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original,
but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single instrument. Delivery of an executed

     AMENDED AND RESTATED FIVE-YEAR COMPETITIVE ADVANCE AND REVOLVING
CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT dated as of February 27, 2009, among BELO CORP.;
the LENDERS party hereto; and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative
Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as
Issuing Bank (in such capacity, the “Issuing Bank”).

          The Borrower (such term and each other capitalized term used and not otherwise defined herein
having the meaning assigned to it in Article I), certain of the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent are parties to an Amended and Restated Five-Year Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit
Agreement dated as of June 7, 2006 (the “Original Credit Agreement”), and have agreed,
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.01, to amend and restate the Original Credit
Agreement in the form of this Amended and Restated Five-Year Competitive Advance and Revolving
Credit Facility Agreement.

          The Borrower has requested the Lenders to extend credit to enable the Borrower to borrow on a
revolving credit basis and to obtain Letters of Credit on and after the date hereof and at any time
and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date. The Borrower has also requested the Lenders to
establish procedures pursuant to which the Borrower may invite the Lenders to bid on an uncommitted
basis on short-term borrowings by the Borrower maturing on or prior to the Maturity Date. The
proceeds of borrowings hereunder will be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and
the Subsidiaries, including acquisitions, stock repurchases, commercial paper backup and the
funding of working capital requirements. Letters of Credit issued hereunder will be used for
general corporate purposes of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries.

          The Lenders are willing to extend such credit to the Borrower on the terms and subject to the
conditions herein set forth.

          Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Definitions

          Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings
specified below:

          “ABR”, when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to whether such Loan,
or the Loans comprising such Borrowing, are bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to
the Alternate Base Rate.

          “Administrative Agent” means JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as
administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder.

          “Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of
(a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such

such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1% per annum;
provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating the Alternate Base
Rate, the LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the Reuters BBA Libor Rates page 3750 (or on any
successor or substitute page of such page) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day.
Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds

including the Business Day following the date of delivery to the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) of the consolidated financial statements
indicating such change or pursuant to Section 5.01(c) of the compliance certificate delivered in
respect of the applicable Credit Extension Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the
effective date of the next such change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicable Percentage
shall be based on the rates per annum set forth in Category 5 (i) at any time that an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) if the Borrower fails to deliver the consolidated
financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) or any
compliance certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c), in each case within
three Business Days after the time periods specified herein for such delivery, during the period
commencing on and including the day following such third Business Day and until the delivery
thereof. In the event that any financial statement or certificate delivered pursuant to Section
5.01(a), 5.01(b) or 5.01(c) shall prove to have been inaccurate (regardless of whether the
Commitments are in effect or any Loans or Letters of Credit are outstanding when such inaccuracy is
discovered), and such inaccuracy shall have resulted in the payment of any interest or fees at
rates lower than those that would have been applicable for any period (based on the actual Leverage
Ratio), then the Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected financial
statement or certificate, as the case may be, and pay to the Agent, for distribution to the Lenders
(or former Lenders) as their interests may appear, the accrued interest or fees that should have
been paid but were not paid as a result of such inaccuracy of such financial statement or
certificate (it being understood that nothing in this sentence shall limit the rights of the Agent
or the Lenders under Section 2.12(d) or Article VII.

          “Assignment and Assumption” means an assignment and assumption entered into by a
Lender and an assignee (with the consent of any party whose consent is required by Section 9.04),

excluding the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date of termination of the Commitments.

States of America.

          “Bond Payment” means any payment or other distribution (whether in cash, securities or
other property) of or in respect of principal of any Bonds, or any payment or other distribution

The Credits

          Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees

necessary or advisable to avoid any material disadvantage to it.

          At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less

an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000;

aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000.

Competitive Bid shall specify (i) the principal amount (which shall be a minimum of $5,000,000 and

Competitive Borrowing requested by the Borrower) of the Competitive Loan or Loans that the Lender

such Loan or Loans (expressed as a percentage rate per annum in the form of a decimal to no more

          The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower by telecopy of the Competitive Bid

amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by the Borrower shall not exceed the aggregate amount of

its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and, if so, the amount and Competitive Bid Rate so
accepted), and each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan in respect of which its Competitive Bid has been
accepted.

          If any Lender that is the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent
shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such
Competitive Bid directly to the Borrower at least one quarter of an hour earlier than the time by
which the other Lenders are required to submit their Competitive Bids to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.

          Letters of Credit. (i) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in dollars for
its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank,
at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of
any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or
entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall control.

          Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the
issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of
Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent (at least three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or
identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such
Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount
of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other
information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If
requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the
Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of
Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that),
after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not
exceed $35,000,000, and (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures plus the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans shall not exceed the total Commitments.

          Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of
business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of
Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such

27

 

renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.
Any Letter of Credit may provide by its terms that it may be extended for additional successive
one-year periods on terms reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank. Any Letter of Credit
providing for automatic extension shall be extended upon the then current expiration date without
any further action by any person unless the Issuing Bank shall have given notice to the applicable
beneficiary (with a copy to the Borrower) of the election by the Issuing Bank not to extend such
Letter of Credit by a time agreed upon by the Borrower and the Issuing Bank and set forth in such
Letter of Credit, provided, that no Letter of Credit may be extended automatically or
otherwise beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. For clarification
purposes only and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, a Letter of
Credit for which the Borrower has deposited cash collateral in an account with the Administrative
Agent pursuant to paragraph (j) of this Section in an amount equal to the full undrawn face amount
of such Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding until its stated expiration date.

          Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of
Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing
Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires
from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s
Participation Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.
In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank,
such Lender’s Participation Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not
reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any
reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in
respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and
that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever.

          Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a
Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative
Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC
Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been
received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York
City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is
received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day
immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not
received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower may, subject
to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such
payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so
financed, the Borrower’s

28

 

obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR
Revolving Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent
shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower
in respect thereof and such Lender’s Participation Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt
of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Participation Percentage of
the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect
to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to
the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the
Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the
Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that
Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such
Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant
to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of
ABR Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the
Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

          Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as
provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and
shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all
circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or 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, (iii) payment by the
Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does
not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of
this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against,
the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing
Bank or any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in
connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make
any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding
sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any
draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any
document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or
any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that
the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to
the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which
are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the
Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether
drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The
parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the
part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing
Bank shall be

29

 

deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and
without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents
presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of
Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such
documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information
to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not
in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

          Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by
telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made
or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in
giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank
and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

          Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless
the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made,
the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date on which
such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date on which the Borrower reimburses such LC
Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that,
if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this
Section, then Section 2.12(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be
for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment
by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for
the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

          Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by
written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the
successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement
of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall
pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section
2.11(c). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank
shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to
Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank”
shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor
and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing
Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have
all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of
Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional
Letters of Credit.

          Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the
Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been

30

 

accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure)
demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in
an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the
benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued
and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral
shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable,
without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with
respect to the Borrower described in clause (i) or (j) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held
by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the
Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control,
including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on
the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion
of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear
interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.
Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank
for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall
be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure
at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of
Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to
satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to
provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of
Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower
within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. For
clarification purposes only and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, a
Letter of Credit for which the Borrower has deposited cash collateral in an account with the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph (j) in an amount equal to the full undrawn face
amount of such Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding until its stated expiration date.

          Funding of Borrowings. (i) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it
hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00
noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it
for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available
to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the
Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the Borrower
in the applicable Borrowing Request or Competitive Bid Request; provided that ABR Revolving
Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall
be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed
date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such
Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made
such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in
reliance upon such assumption,

31

 

make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in
fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date
such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii)
in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate borne by the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender
pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan
included in such Borrowing.

          Interest Elections. (i) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type
specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing,
shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the
Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and,
in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect new Interest Periods therefor, all as
provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different
portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably
among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such
portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Competitive
Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

          In order to make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be
required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type
resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such
telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form
approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

          Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information
in compliance with Section 2.02:

     the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof
to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified
pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

     the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request,
which shall be a Business Day;

     whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;
and

32

 

     if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an
Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month’s duration.

          Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall
advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

          If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then,
unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such
Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof,
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request
of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is
continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar
Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR
Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

          Termination, Reduction and Extension of Commitments.

(i) (i) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

          (ii) If the aggregate amount of the Commitments on December 31, 2009, shall exceed
$525,000,000, the Commitments shall be reduced on December 31, 2009, by the aggregate amount
required so that after giving effect to such reduction the aggregate amount of the Commitments
shall be $525,000,000; provided that such reduction of the Commitments shall not occur if
the Borrower shall have become obligated to purchase KFWD TV 52 on or prior to December 31, 2009.

          (iii) On the occasion of each Bond Payment made in reliance upon clause (e) of Section 6.09,
the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent on the date of such Bond Payment of the amount
and date of such Bond Payment and effective two Business Days following the making of such Bond
Payment the Commitments shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of such Bond Payment.

          Subject to Section 2.10(d), the Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time
reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an
amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the
Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent
prepayment of the Loans, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures plus the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Competitive Loans would exceed the total Commitments.

33

 

          The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the
Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective
date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof.
Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be
irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the
Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit
facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not
satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of
the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Commitments.

          Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (i) The Borrower hereby unconditionally
promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid
principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date, and (ii) to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each applicable Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Loan
on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan.

          Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such
Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time
to time hereunder.

          The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of
each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto,
(ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

          The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section
shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations
recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to
maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the
Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such
event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to
the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered
assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent.

          Prepayment of Loans. (i) Subject to Sections 2.10(d) and 2.15, the Borrower shall
have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part.

34

 

          In the event of any termination of the Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay all outstanding
Borrowings on the date of such termination. In the event of any reduction of the Commitments, the
Borrower shall prepay outstanding Borrowings to the extent, if any, necessary so that, on the date
of and after giving effect to such reduction, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures and the
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Competitive Loans does not exceed the total
Commitments.

          The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any
prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later
than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in
the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the
prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid;
provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice
of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment
may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly
following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent
shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving
Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving
Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing
shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be
accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

          The Borrower shall not have the right to prepay any Competitive Loan and shall not terminate
or reduce the Commitments if such termination or reduction would require prepayment of any
Competitive Loan.

          Fees. (i) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Percentage per annum on the
daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the date
hereof to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates; provided that for
purposes of calculating commitment fees, outstanding Competitive Loans shall not be counted as
usage of the Lenders’ Commitments. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last
day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments
terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

          The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders,
ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments, the upfront fees separately agreed upon
between the Borrower and the Lenders. The upfront fees shall be payable on the date of this
Agreement.

          The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a
participation fee with respect to such Lender’s participations in

35

 

Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Percentage used to determine the
interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s
LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during
the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which
such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC
Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per
annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to
unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but
excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there
ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings
thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of
March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day
following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date;
provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate
and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on
demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable
within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including
the first day but excluding the last day).

          The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in
the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent.

          All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to
the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for
distribution, in the case of commitment fees, participation fees and upfront fees, to the Lenders.
Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

          Interest. (i) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage from time to time in
effect.

          The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable
Percentage from time to time in effect (or, in the case of a Competitive Loan, the LIBO Rate for
the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Margin offered by the Lender making such
loan and accepted by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.04).

          Each Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Fixed Rate
applicable to such Loan.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other
amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon
acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall

36

 

bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case
of overdue principal of any Loan, the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above plus
2% per annum or (ii) in the case of any other amount, the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided
above plus 2% per annum.

          Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for
such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section
shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other
than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued
interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment
or prepayment, (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Loan (other than an ABR Revolving Loan)
prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be
payable on the effective date of such conversion and (d) in the event the Commitments are
terminated, all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans shall be paid on the date of such
termination.

          All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that
interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is
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 in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first
day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBO Rate shall be
determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

          Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a
Eurodollar Borrowing:

          the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such
Interest Period or that a Change in Law makes it unlawful for any one or more of the Lenders to
make a Eurodollar Loan; or

          the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that, as a result of a Change in
Law or other unusual events or conditions affecting the markets in which such Lenders conduct their
funding operations, the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will be lower than the actual cost to
such Lenders of obtaining the funds necessary to make or maintain their Loans comprising such
Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by
telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent
notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing
to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective,
(ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be
made as an ABR Borrowing and (iii) any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Competitive
Borrowing shall be ineffective; provided that (A) if the circumstances giving rise to such
notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the Borrower for Eurodollar Competitive
Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby and (B) if the

37

 

circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of
Borrowings shall be permitted.

          Increased Costs. (i) If any Change in Law shall:

          impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;
or

          impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other
condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans or Fixed Rate Loans made by such
Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan or to increase the cost to such Lender or the
Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

          If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital
or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company or the Issuing
Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by or
participations in Letters of Credit held by such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the
Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s holding
company or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law
(taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such
Lender’s holding company or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by
an amount deemed by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to be material, then from
time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s
holding company or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

          A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified
in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which
such amount or amounts shall have been determined, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall, if
submitted in good faith, be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender
or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
10 days after receipt thereof.

38

 

          Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant
to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to
demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a
Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred
more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of
such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided
further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a Lender shall not be entitled to
compensation pursuant to this Section in respect of any Competitive Loan if the Change in Law that
would otherwise entitle it to such compensation shall have been publicly announced prior to
submission of the Competitive Bid pursuant to which such Loan was made.

          Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any
Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto, (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, prepay or continue any Revolving
Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such
notice is permitted to be revocable and is revoked in accordance herewith), (d) the failure to
borrow any Competitive Loan after accepting the Competitive Bid to make such Loan, or (e) the
assignment of any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then,
in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event by payment to such Lender of an amount determined by such Lender to be
equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit
equal to the principal amount of the applicable Loan for the period from the date of such payment,
conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan
(or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert, prepay or continue, the duration of the Interest
Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest
rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Adjusted CD Rate or the
Fixed Rate, as the case may be, in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Interest
Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for
such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest
rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for dollar deposits at other
banks in the London interbank market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any
Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section, and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts shall
have been determined, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall, if submitted in good faith, be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on
any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such
loss, cost or expense to any

39

 

Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if
any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan
had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate (not including the Applicable Percentage added to the
LIBO Rate under Section 2.12(b)) that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from
the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the
case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest
Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount
for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the
commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks
in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that
such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, and setting forth in reasonable detail
the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined, shall be delivered to the
Borrower and shall, if submitted in good faith, be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower
shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt
thereof.

          Taxes. (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower
hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes from such payments, then (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) each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the applicable Lender (as
the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions
been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

          In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law.

          The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank,
within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and reasonable expenses) arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as
to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, or by the Issuing Bank, and
setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount shall have been determined,
shall, if submitted in good faith, be conclusive absent manifest error.

          As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower
to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or
a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy
of the return reporting such

40

 

payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

          Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under
the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), on or before the date on which it becomes a
Lender, and at such other times as prescribed by applicable law, properly completed and executed
forms prescribed by applicable law (together with such other documentation or certification as the
Borrower may reasonably request) that will permit the Borrower to make such payments without
withholding or at a reduced rate.

          Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (i) The Borrower
shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees
or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time (or such other time as shall be set forth
herein), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim.
Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative
Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its
offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing
Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and
9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute any such payments received for the account of any other Person to the appropriate
recipient in the amount owed to it promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder
shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon
shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in
dollars.

          If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to
fully pay all amounts then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied to the amounts then due
hereunder in such order and priority as the Administrative Agent may elect; provided that
any funds that the Administrative Agent elects to apply to principal, interest or fees then due
shall be applied ratably to all amounts of principal, interest or fees (as the case may be) then
due.

          If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations
in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the
aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest
thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of
all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of
principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations

41

 

are purchased and all or any portion of the payments giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery,
without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement
or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or
participant other than the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof. The Borrower consents
to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any
Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the
Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date
on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the
Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the
Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank with
interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

          If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section
2.06(b) or paragraph (d) above, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion
(notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such
Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

          Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (i) If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then
such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its
offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the
case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in such Lender’s good faith
judgment. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

          If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay
any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender

42

 

defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense
and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign
and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than, at the
election of such Lender, any outstanding Competitive Loans held by it) to an assignee that shall
assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender
shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (other
than, at the election of such Lender, Competitive Loans, as to which such Lender will continue to
have all of its rights hereunder) and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of
such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other
amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result
in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise,
the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Representations and Warranties

          The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

          Organization; Powers. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (i) is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and,
except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good
standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required and, (ii) possesses all
requisite authority and power and material licenses, permits, franchises (including, without
limitation, licenses, permits and franchises issued by the FCC), and valid and subsisting network
affiliation agreements in the case of each Subsidiary that operates a network affiliated television
broadcasting enterprise, to conduct its business as presently conducted.

          Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions to be entered into by each Loan Party
are within such Loan Party’s corporate or other organizational powers and have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate or other organizational and, if required, stockholder or other
equityholder action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and
constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed
and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Borrower or such Loan Party, as the case may be, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’

43

 

rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law.

          Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent
or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority,
except (i) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, and (ii) routine
filings after the Effective Date with Securities and Exchange Commission and the FCC made pursuant
to the requirements of 47 CFR 73.3613, (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the
charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any order
of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, or
other material agreement or instrument binding upon the Borrower or any Subsidiary or its assets,
or give rise to a right thereunder to require any material payment to be made by the Borrower or
any Subsidiary, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien other than a
Permitted Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

          Financial
Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (i) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and
statements of earnings, shareholders equity and cash flows (i) as of and for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007, reported on by Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors. Such financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of
operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and
for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of
footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above.

          Since December 31, 2007, there has been no material adverse change in the business, assets,
operations or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole.

          Properties. (i) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good title to, or
valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to its business, except
for minor defects in title or interest that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its
business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes.

          Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks,
tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the
use thereof by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other
Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          Litigation, Labor and Environmental Matters. (i) There are not any actions, suits
or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority now pending against or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary (i) as to
which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely
determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material
Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the
Transactions.

44

 

          Except for the Disclosed Matters, there are no actual or, to the knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened labor controversies, including strikes, work stoppages, work slow downs or National
Labor Relations Board proceedings affecting the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, that could,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law
or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any
Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received
notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any
Environmental Liability.

          There has been no change in the status of the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the
aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.

          Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in
compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or
its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property,
except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

          Certain Legal Matters. (i) Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an
“investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of
1940.

          Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is engaged principally, or as one of its important
activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying margin stock,
within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board. Margin stock will at all times constitute less
than 25% of the assets of the Borrower individually and the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis that are subject to the restrictions of Section 6.01 and 6.02.

          Taxes. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all
tax returns and reports required to have been filed and paid or caused to be paid all Taxes
required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, shall have
set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when
taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. As of the Effective Date, the present value of all accrued benefit
liabilities under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 87), determined at the most recent annual valuation date for such Plan,
does not exceed by more than $25,000,000 the

45

 

fair market value of the assets of such Plan, determined at the most recent annual valuation
date for such Plan, and the present value of all accrued benefit liabilities of all underfunded
Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 87), determined at the most recent annual valuation dates for such Plans, does not exceed by
more than $25,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans, determined
at the most recent annual valuation date for such Plans.

          Disclosure. There are no agreements, instruments or corporate restrictions to which
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and no other matters known to the Borrower,
that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by
or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the
negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other
information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected and pro forma financial
information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based
upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

Conditions

          Effective Date. This Agreement and the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and
of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder shall not become effective until the date
on which each of the following conditions is satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 9.02):

          The Administrative Agent (or its counsel) shall have received from each party hereto either
(i) a counterpart of this Agreement signed on behalf of such party or (ii) written evidence
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which may include telecopy transmission of a signed
signature page of this Agreement) that such party has signed a counterpart of this Agreement.

          The Administrative Agent shall have received favorable written opinions of (i) Russell F.
Coleman, the General Counsel of the Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto, (ii)
Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, counsel for the Borrower , substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2
hereto and (iii) Wiley, Rein & Fielding LLP, special regulatory counsel to the Borrower,

with such acquisition, together with the aggregate amount, determined as of such time, of all other
Investments purchased, made or otherwise acquired, and the aggregate amount of all consideration
and such other amounts paid in connection with all other acquisitions made, in reliance on this
clause (k) during the fiscal year in which such Investment or acquisition is consummated shall not
exceed $15,000,000; and

          other Investments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000 in any fiscal year.

together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred, could reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect;

          any main transmitter license, permit or authorization issued to the Borrower or any Subsidiary
by the FCC shall be forfeited, revoked or not renewed, or any proceeding with respect to any such

The Administrative Agent

          Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent
as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to
exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

          The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

          The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall
not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has
occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated herein that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed by
the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under
the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure
to disclose, any information related to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is
communicated to or obtained by it or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative
Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the
request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross
negligence or wilful misconduct. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to it by the Borrower or
a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain
or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this
Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in
connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or
other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

          The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any

60

 

statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper
Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may
consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other
experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in
accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

          The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. The Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through Affiliates
or its or its Affiliates’ employees. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs and
the provisions of Section 9.03 shall apply to any such sub-agent, to the Affiliates of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent and to the directors, officers, employees, agents and
advisors of the Administrative Agent, any such sub-agent and their respective Affiliates, and shall
apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities
provided for herein as well as activities of the Administrative Agent.

          Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided
below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank
and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders, with the consent of the
Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) shall have the right to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent from among the Lenders. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may,
with the consent of the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), on behalf of the
Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders which
shall be a bank with an office in The City of New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested
with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After
the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03
shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

          Each Lender agrees (a) to reimburse the Administrative Agent, on demand, in the amount of its
pro rata share at the time reimbursement is sought (based on its Commitment hereunder or, if the
Commitments shall have expired or terminated, based on its portion of the total Revolving Credit
Exposures and outstanding Competitive Loans) of any expenses incurred for the benefit of the
Lenders or the Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent, including counsel fees and compensation of
agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, that shall not have been
reimbursed by the Borrower and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and any
of its directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share,
from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its

61

 

capacity as Administrative Agent or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement, to the extent
the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower, provided that no Lender shall be
liable to the Administrative Agent or any such other indemnified person for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements that are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Administrative
Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents.

          Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender 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 the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time
deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based
upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

          None of the institutions named as Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or Co-Documentation
Agent on the cover page of this Agreement shall, in their capacities as such, have any duties or
responsibilities of any kind under this Agreement.

          Waivers; Amendments. (i) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document
or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the

thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i)
increase or decrease the Commitment of any Lender (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments
of all the Lenders), without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount
of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable

scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest
thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment,
or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each
Lender affected thereby, or (iv) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of
“Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders
required in order to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or grant any consent hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement
shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the
Issuing Bank, hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

          Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (i) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel
for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications
or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in
connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand

Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable fees,

63

 

charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this
Agreement.

          The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender,
each Affiliate of any of them and each of the respective directors, officers, employees, agents and
advisors of the foregoing (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to
hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred
by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of
the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit,
or the use of the proceeds thereof (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for
payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not
strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or
release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or (iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such
Indemnitee (BUT SHALL BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THEY ARE DETERMINED TO HAVE RESULTED FROM, IN
WHOLE OR IN PART, THE SIMPLE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNITEE).

          To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert, and hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof.

          All amounts due under this Section shall be payable no later than 10 days after written demand
therefor.

          Successors and Assigns. (i) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit),
except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or
transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the
Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of

64

 

Credit)) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

          Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing
to it); provided that (i) each of the Administrative Agent and, except in the case of an
assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, an assignment limited to rights in respect of
an outstanding Competitive Loan or an assignment during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Borrower, must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an
Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is
delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree), (iii) each partial assignment shall be made
as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, except that this clause shall not apply to rights in respect of outstanding
Competitive Loans, (iv) the Lenders party to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee
of $3,500, and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and provided further that any consent of the
Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default under
paragraph (b), (c), (i), (j) or (n) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing. Upon acceptance
and recording pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption, which effective date shall be at least five Business
Days after the execution thereof, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations
of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03).

          The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain
at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to
it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment
of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

65

 

          Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender
and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall
already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)
above and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) above, the
Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) record the information
contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. No
assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this
paragraph (d).

          Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative
Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) in all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under
this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to
Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) below, the Borrower agrees
that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b)
of this Section. In connection with any sale of a participation pursuant to this paragraph, the
selling Lender shall obtain from the Participant an undertaking to be bound by the provisions of
Section 9.12. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with paragraph (b) above shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with this
paragraph.

          A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16
than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender
shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the
Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender.

          Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a
Federal Reserve Bank to secure extensions of credit by such Federal Reserve Bank to such Lender;
provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such Federal Reserve Bank for such Lender as a party hereto.

66

 

          Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the
Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or
pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and the issuance
of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf
and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had
notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit
is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or
any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is
outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have
not expired or terminated. The last sentence of the definition of “Applicable Percentage” in
Section 1.01 and the provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 9.03 and 9.12 shall survive and
remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, the repayment of the Loans or the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, the
Commitments, this Agreement or any provision hereof.

          Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall
become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

          Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

          Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the
credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such
Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be

67

 

unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

          Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (i) THIS AGREEMENT
SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to
the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York
County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding
may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such
Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.

          The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

          Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided
for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this
Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

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

          Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for
convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction
of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

          Confidentiality. (a) The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each of the
Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and
agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by
any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with
the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or
to any direct or actual counterparty (and its advisor) to any swap or derivative transaction
entered into by the Borrower without violating the terms of this Agreement, (g) with the consent of
the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For
the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the
Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business including any potential acquisition or proposed
business transaction, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the
Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the
date hereof (other than information obtained by any Lender in the course of examining the books or
records of the Borrower or any Subsidiary as permitted by Section 5.06) such information is clearly
identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied
with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential
information.

          Each Lender acknowledges that Information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement may
include material non-public information concerning the Borrower and its Related Parties or the
Borrower’s securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use
of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in
accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

          All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be
syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower
and its Related Parties or the Borrower’s securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the
Borrower and the

69

 

Administrative Agent that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit
contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance
with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

          Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any
time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts
which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the
“Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance
with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with
all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent
lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not
payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and
Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not
above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

          USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other
information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with its
requirements.

          No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and the Subsidiaries,
agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any
communications in connection therewith, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the
one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and their Affiliates, on the
other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise,
any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or their
Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions
or communications.

          Release of Guarantees. A Subsidiary Loan Party shall automatically be released from
its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement (i) as provided in the Guarantee Agreement and (ii)
upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such
Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a Subsidiary; provided that, if so required by this
Agreement, the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction and the terms of such
consent shall not have provided otherwise. In connection with any release pursuant to this
Section, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s
expense, all documents and take all such actions that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to
evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this
Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE II

Guarantee

          SECTION 2.01. Guarantee. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the
other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and
punctual payment of the Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be
extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it
will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any
Obligation. Each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the
Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of
its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment.

          SECTION 2.02. Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee. Each Guarantor further
agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether or not any
bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the
Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives any right
to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party to any
security held for the payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit
on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party in favor of the Borrower,
any other party, or any other Person. Each Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder is
continuing in nature and applies to all Obligations, whether currently existing or hereafter
incurred.

          SECTION 2.03. No Limitations. (a) Except for termination of a Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 4.13, the obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any
reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not
be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason
of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations, any impossibility in the
performance of the Obligations, or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise
affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party to assert any
claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or
otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of
the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement, including with respect to any
other Guarantor under this Agreement; (iii) the release of any security held by the Administrative
Agent or any other Guaranteed Party for the Obligations or any of them; (iv) any default, failure
or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; or (v) any other act or
omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or
otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations).

 

4

          (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense
based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the
unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any
cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment
in full in cash of all the Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties
may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more
judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure,
compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or
any other Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower
or any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor
hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in full in
cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising
out of any such election even though such election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to
impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such
Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.

          SECTION 2.04. Reinstatement. Each of the Guarantors agrees that its guarantee
hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the
Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or otherwise.

          SECTION 2.05. Agreement To Pay; Subrogation. In furtherance of the foregoing and not
in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party has at
law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any
other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity,
by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and
will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the
applicable Guaranteed Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by any
Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor
against the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of
subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject
to Article III.

          SECTION 2.06. Information. Each Guarantor (a) assumes all responsibility for being
and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s and each other Loan Party’s financial condition and
assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and
the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and
(b) agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Guaranteed Parties will have any duty
to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or
risks.

ARTICLE III

Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination

          SECTION 3.01. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity
and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 3.03), the
Borrower agrees that in the event a payment in respect of any Obligation shall be made by any
Guarantor under this Agreement, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of
such payment.

          SECTION 3.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor (a “Contributing Party”)
agrees (subject to Section 3.03) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor
hereunder in respect of any Obligation and such other Guarantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall not
have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in Section 3.01, the Contributing Party
shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the amount of such payment multiplied by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof
(or, in the case of any Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 4.14, the date of the
supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Guarantor) and the denominator shall be the
aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor
becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 4.14, the date of the supplement hereto executed and
delivered by such Guarantor). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party
pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall (subject to Section 3.03) be subrogated to the rights of such
Claiming Party under Section 3.01 to the extent of such payment.

          SECTION 3.03. Subordination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and all other rights of the
Guarantors of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be
fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on
the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 3.01 and 3.02
(or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the
obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each
Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

          (b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that all Indebtedness and other monetary obligations owed by
it to, or to it by, any other Guarantor or any other Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations.

ARTICLE IV

Miscellaneous

          SECTION 4.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as
otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided

 

6

in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any
Guarantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit
Agreement.

          SECTION 4.02. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by any Guaranteed Party
in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of
the Guaranteed Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 4.02, and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a
Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such
Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan
Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

          (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the
Loan Party or Loan Parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to
apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

          SECTION 4.03. Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The
parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its
expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.

          (b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents,
each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other
Indemnitees (as defined in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee
harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the
fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against
any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Guarantor arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any instrument contemplated hereby,
whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not,
as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment to have
resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

 

7

          (c) Any amounts payable as provided under this Section shall be additional Obligations
guaranteed hereby. The provisions of this Section 4.03 shall remain operative and in full force
and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the
invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other
Guaranteed Party. All amounts due under this Section 4.03 shall be payable on written demand
therefor.

          SECTION 4.04. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties
hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and
assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Guarantor
or the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the
benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

          SECTION 4.05. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other
instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any
Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice
or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is
extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the
principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under any
Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the
Commitments have not expired or terminated.

          SECTION 4.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken
together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this
Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a
manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any
Loan Party when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Loan Party shall have been
delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf
of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Loan Party and the
Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the
benefit of such Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties and their
respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party shall have the right to assign or
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such assignment or
transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement.
This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Loan Party and may
be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or

 

8

released with respect to any Loan Party without the approval of any other Loan Party and
without affecting the obligations of any other Loan Party hereunder.

          SECTION 4.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The
parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

          SECTION 4.08. Right of Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Guaranteed Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by
such Guaranteed Party to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any of and all
the obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement owed to such
Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement
and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 4.08
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Lender
may have.

          SECTION 4.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

          (b) Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and
its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting
in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York,
and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and
each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect
of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the
extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the Loan Parties hereto agrees that a
final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.

          (c) Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may

 

9

now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b)
of this Section 4.09. Each of the Loan Parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.

          (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 4.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will
affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by
law.

          SECTION 4.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS
AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 4.10.

          SECTION 4.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used
herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect
the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

          SECTION 4.12. Guarantee Absolute. All rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder
and all obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any
agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to
any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other
term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any
departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument
governing or evidencing any Obligations, (c) any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under
or departure from any guarantee, guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any
Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement.

          SECTION 4.13. Termination or Release. (a) Subject to Section 2.04, this Agreement
and the Guarantees made herein shall terminate when all the Loan Document

 

10

Obligations have been paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under
the Credit Agreement, the LC Exposure has been reduced to zero and the Issuing Bank has no further
obligations to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement.

          (b) A Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder upon the
consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such
Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary, provided that the Required Lenders shall have consented to
such transaction (to the extent required by the Credit Agreement) and the terms of such consent did
not provide otherwise.

          SECTION 4.14. Additional Subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, certain
Subsidiaries may in the future be required to enter in this Agreement as Guarantors. Upon
execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and a Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of
Exhibit I hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect
as if originally named as a Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument
shall not require the consent of any other Loan Party hereunder. The rights and obligations of
each Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any
new Loan Party as a party to this Agreement.

to Supplement No. __ to the

Guarantee and

Collateral Agreement

     SUPPLEMENT
NO. ___ dated as of [  ] (this “Supplement”), to the
Guarantee Agreement dated as of February [ • ], 2009 (as amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Guarantee Agreement”), among BELO Corp., a Delaware corporation] (the
“Borrower”), the Subsidiaries of the Borrower from time to time
party thereto (together with the Borrower, the “Guarantors”) and
JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the
“Administrative Agent”).

          A. Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February [•],
2009 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”), among the Borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the Administrative
Agent.

          B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee Agreement referred to therein.

          C. The Guarantors have entered into the Guarantee Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to
make Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit. Section 4.14 of the Guarantee
Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become Guarantors under the
Guarantee Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The
undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance
with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement
in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue additional
Letters of Credit and as consideration for Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously
issued.

          Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:

          SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 4.14 of the Guarantee Agreement, the New Subsidiary by
its signature below becomes a Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement with the same force and
effect as if originally named therein as a Guarantor and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to
all the terms and provisions of the Guarantee Agreement applicable to it as a Guarantor thereunder
and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Guarantor
thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. Each reference to a “Guarantor” in
the Guarantee Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The Guarantee Agreement is
hereby incorporated herein by reference.

          SECTION 2. The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the
other Guaranteed Parties that this Supplement has been

 

2

duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding
obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

          SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto
on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken
together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the
Administrative Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature
of the New Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of
an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall
be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

          SECTION 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guarantee Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.

          SECTION 5. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          SECTION 6. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Guarantee Agreement shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any
other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

          SECTION 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided
in Section 4.01 of the Guarantee Agreement.

          SECTION 8. The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other
charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent have duly executed this
Supplement to the Guarantee Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
